Lu Yi looked at the towering mountain from afar, two peaks, one like a slender woman, the other like a tall strong man, leaning on each other, looking at the morning glow, it really looks a little vivid from a distance.

Lu Yi motioned for a few people to go forward together among the other people who went up the mountain, and when they approached the foot of the mountain, they saw that there were already letter posts on the main road leading to the mountain, but these posts didn't care about anything, and they glanced coldly at the people who wanted to go up the mountain, no matter what the other party's cultivation was, there was no respect or contempt at all. Lu Yi had already understood in advance that the location below the mountainside of Xialu Mountain was open, and anyone could move there, no matter hunting or gathering, no one would care, but they were not allowed to live in a settlement. The mountain will send monks to inspect from time to time, and those who find that they live in a house without permission will be expelled, and there is no restriction on short-term food and sleeping, and if you want to live for a long time, you will live in the city of Xialu. Until Lu Yi and others climbed halfway up the mountain, saw the Xialu City built around the mountain, and looked at the tall city wall like Xiongguan, Lu Yi sighed in his heart, the location of Xialu City is very particular, it is just the position of the sudden tightening of the entire mountain range, surrounded by a high wall, the people in the city are condescending, and the defense is twice the result with half the effort, and the back is against the mountain, and it is really impossible to hold it and retreat into the mountain. Xiangyao Mountain, Yunya Pavilion and even the Cuilong Mountain of the Sun family are all built according to this idea, these are the experiences summed up by the baptism of war, so it seems that the establishment of this Xialu City must have the guidance of a master.

It was not so easy to enter the city again, and the guards at the gates were obviously better in quantity and quality than the outposts below. Perhaps because of the chaos in the Western Regions, Lu Yi found that many of the cities he walked through had sent sixth-order monks, such as high-ranking monks who were usually high-ranking monks, to guard the doors. Because at the level of a sixth-order monk, his vision and experience are relatively not weak in all aspects, and he can discover some details that low-level monks can't see in advance, and if he finds a threat, he can warn him earlier or even deal with it independently. Lu Yi and Lin Li and the two seventh-order monks had already dispersed, leaving only Ji Shuliu and Tu Zi, who had turned from the dark to the light, although Lu Yi was full of confidence that he could complete the challenge, but it was better to keep a hand for the sake of prudence, and if he failed, he would arrange for them to stay here for five years and then challenge.

Lu Yi's aura of a seventh-order monk was undoubtedly revealed, followed by Ji Shuliu, a follower, and Tu Zi was personally accompanied by the person on the side, which immediately attracted the attention of the monks guarding the city, and Lu Yi saw that the two sixth-order monks were peeking at the three of them, so he grinned at the three of them and beckoned the two to come over. When the two sixth-order monks saw that they had been discovered, they were not stunned, and they walked up to the three of them very generously and rushed to Lu Yi and Tu Zi Shi Li and said, "Dare to ask the seniors what advice they have for calling us?" The tone was neither arrogant nor humble, full of confidence, and quite a powerful demeanor, it was obvious that they were more at ease with the strength of Xia Lu City, and they were not afraid of someone causing trouble, even if the other party's cultivation was higher than their own.

"I heard that Guishan is now short of a candidate for the eighth position, and this time I came to include it under me, two of you, go and report it, and save my son from running errands by himself. Lu Yi deliberately put his attitude very arrogant.

The two sixth-order monks glanced at each other when they heard this, and they could both feel that Lu Yi was a seventh-order early monk, and a seventh-order early monk seemed to be a little overwhelmed with such a big tone.

"Seniors, don't entertain the juniors, if you think it's rude for the juniors to peep at the seniors just now, the juniors apologize to the seniors here, the juniors are the two of them, and they can't help themselves, if the seniors have nothing else, please let the juniors return to their posts, we are very strict under the rule of Xialu City, and those who leave their posts without permission will be punished. One person saluted Lu Yi again, his tone was very polite, Xu was he misunderstood Lu Yi and annoyed that the two peeped at him, and deliberately made it difficult for the two to say this, so he implicitly reminded Lu Yi that this is Xialu City, and when he comes to Xialu City, he must follow the rules of Xialu City.

"I don't have time to entertain people, my son's time is tight, if you don't report it, then point out the direction to my son, and save my son from taking the wrong road." Let me tell you, now I missed the opportunity to befriend my son, but there are times when you regret it. Lu Yi still had a big scary tone, but the two still didn't believe that Lu Yi was really here to seize the eighth position.

But if you don't believe it, the two of them still pointed out a specific direction to Lu Yi, and according to their instructions, Lu Yi and the three of them came to a five-story building in a short time, here, the guard at the door turned out to be a seventh-order early monk. Lu Yi explained his intention to the guard monk who came to inquire again, although the other party was also a little incredulous, but he still arranged for one person to enter the building, and after a while, three people walked out of the building, and the guard monk saw the three of them and immediately stood respectfully and saluted, the three of them were all monks in the early stage of spiritual building, if they guessed correctly, these three people should be the guests of the first few chairs in Xia Lu City.

The three of them walked quickly to Lu Yi and the human butcher, with a respectful and cautious expression, and the medium-sized monk in the middle arched his hand at the human butcher and said, "Forgive me for being clumsy, dare to ask you if you are the senior of the human butcher?"

"Doll, do you have good eyesight?!The old man hasn't been out for a long time, and there is still someone who remembers me!" The human butcher had a kind face, and he also had a smile on his face like Lu Yi when he spoke.

The shadow of the famous tree of the person, as soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around, the person butcher is a famous person in the Western Regions, and he has a compassionate appearance, it is often difficult for people to associate his appearance with his name, and not many people have really seen him commit murder or heroism, so it has always given people a mysterious color, I don't want to appear in Xialu City today, how can it not be surprising?

Seeing everyone's expressions, the human butcher grinned and laughed, "Don't worry, the old man is accompanying Lu Gongzi to challenge you to the eighth chair in Xialu Mountain this time, I heard that you have a rule, if someone has a full cultivation of the Fadan Formation and can defeat the people in the city, he can sit on the eighth chair, Lu Gongzi is very interested and wants to try it, but along the way, your people don't seem to believe it too much, do you think Lu Gongzi is too young?" You must know that people can't look good, and don't be limited by your own vision to limit the abilities of others, this time, Lu Gongzi will impress you. ”

Only then did the three monks focus their attention on Lu Yi, who was standing beside the human butcher, and after a careful look, the three of them were also very surprised that Lu Yi was already a seventh-order monk at such a young age, but the three of them did not express their position, but their eyes rolled wildly and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"What? Could it be that the old man heard a rumor? You don't have such a thing here?" the human butcher glared, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the attitude of several people.

"No, no, senior, don't get me wrong. The early stage monk seemed to have some understanding of the past of the human butcher, and when he saw that he was about to go crazy, he hurriedly waved his hand, "That's the case, just half a year ago, a seventh-order late-stage monk came to him, saying that he wanted to challenge the eighth position, and this person finally succeeded in winning the competition of magic and formation, but he lost a little bit in the competition of Dan skills, and the grade of the elixir refined in the final competition was only slightly inferior, which can be described as a genius rarely encountered in a thousand years." This person was favored by the Tianquan Venerable, the first leader of our Xialu City, and thought that he was a talent that could be created, because since this rule was established for nearly a thousand years, there had never been a person so close to success, so he wanted to leave him in Xialu Mountain. In the end, one hundred and seven of us got together and discussed it, and decided that instead of vacating the eighth chair for a long time, it would be better for this person to take the position of guest for the time being. The matter is now on the agenda, and a celebration is scheduled to be held soon to officially confirm his status. Just now, the senior said that Lu Gongzi was also here to challenge the eighth position, so I was a little surprised when I waited. With all due respect, Lu Gongzi is only less than a mid-seventh order cultivator, and it doesn't seem to be easy for this technique alone, not to mention how far he can go on the two paths of the Dan Array at such a young age. ”

"I'll just say that you dogs look down on people, you don't want to admit it yet! Why? Seeing that Lu Gongzi's rank is not high and he is young, I think he can't do it? Tell you! Your so-called bullshit talent is nothing in front of Lu Gongzi, since you have decided to let him sit in this eighth position, then call him to compete with our Lu Gongzi, let you open your eyes and see who is the real genius. The human butcher looked contemptuous.

"Since the senior of the human butcher said so, the three of us will go and report to the Venerable Master Tianquan, and ask the senior to come in with me and sit down for a while.

"What's the matter? What kind of person is not small in the spring, and the old man does not show up in person, do you think that the old man has a bad reputation? Or do you look down on the old man and think that the old man is not as good as him?"

"People slaughter Taoist friends, don't come unharmed, the old man really has some trivial things that can't be separated, and he neglects Taoist friends, and I ask Taoist friends not to worry about juniors. A clear voice floated from inside the building, "The fifth, the sixth, the seventh, please invite the butcher and the Taoist to sit in the council hall for a while, and the old man will come." ”

The one who spoke must be the top spot of Xialu Mountain, Tianquan Venerable, the three spiritual monks hurriedly got off the donkey when they heard this, and the person who spoke before politely made a gesture of "please" to the butcher, inviting Lu Yi and the three of them to enter.

The human butcher raised his eyes and looked at the highest floor of the building, and after reciting the phrase "pretending to be a ghost", he strode in with great strides. Lu Yi watched with a smile from beginning to end, without saying a word, after the human butcher entered first, he also followed unhurriedly, and after Ji Shuliu also entered the building, the other two spiritual monks accompanied him and disappeared at the entrance of the building
