Chapter Twenty-Five: The Journey
The Zihua Hall is located on the central square of the Central Pillar Peak, and when the sun just rises in the east, the first rays of light will shine on the 180 steps in front of the hall. The steps are all carved from jade, and there is a thick stone pillar at every distance on both sides, on which is depicted a beautiful woman with a snake tail in the human body, who is one of the ancient gods and men worshipped by the Nuling Palace.
The melodious bell rang above the square, echoing for a long time, and at this time, in the Zihua Palace, the heads and elders of the Female Spirit Palace gathered. At the foot of the steps, the Danjuan of the Xihe Gate was bowing and saluting, looking respectful.
Master Yanwu sat on the first place, and this was originally the position of the head of the sect, but he was in charge of the retreat and cultivation of Xiao Kongqing. At this time, Master Yanwu was smiling, and his voice was hearty and loud, "Master Danjuan doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and excuse me, hurry up and excuse me." As soon as he spoke, his right hand was raised, and a righteous and pure true power came out, holding Danjuan's body up.
Danjuan was slightly surprised, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes. Master Yanwu is the younger brother of the former head of Master Yankong, and he has been famous for many years, and this skill is really extraordinary. He stood up straight at the moment and said respectfully: "This time, Danjuan is entrusted by Master Xiyang Zhenren to visit all the masters. ”
Master Yanwu laughed, "I haven't seen you for many years, Senior Brother Xiyang has been doing well lately."
Danjuan replied, "Master is in good health, and he often thinks about your uncles. This time, I also ordered me to inform you that the twelve-year World Conference will be held in half a year, and I hope that the three uncles will be able to move to Xihe Mountain to meet at that time. ”
Master Yanwu sighed, his gaze far-reaching, "It's been twelve years in the blink of an eye, and time flies so fast." You go back and reply to Senior Brother Xiyang, and then I will definitely bring my disciples to the door to disturb you. ”
Danjuan replied respectfully, and at this time, Master Yanyue on the side said lightly: "Has Senior Brother Xiyang of other sects sent someone to notify you this time?"
Danjuan replied: "Master sent me to inform all factions one by one this time, and the little nephew did not dare to delay. First of all, I will pay a visit to the teachers and commanders of the Female Spirit Palace, and the rest of the factions, and the little nephews will visit them one by one in the next few days. ”
Master Yanwu nodded and said, "It's okay, so there will be a nephew." Today's journey is tiring, and my nephew will rest in my women's spirit palace for a day, and it will not be too late to set off tomorrow. ”
Danjuan thanked him, "Thank you teachers, the little nephew is better than obeying his fate." ”
Everyone exchanged a few more greetings, and Master Yanwu beckoned, and Yan Liang, who was on the side, stepped forward quickly and called, "Uncle Shi." Master Yanwu gave a few instructions, and Yan Liang led the order to take Danjuan to the disciple's room to rest, and there were only three people left in the field, the head of the second peak and Master Yanwu, and the scene was quiet for a while.
After a long time, Master Yanyong spoke: "Senior brother, what treasures does our Women's Spirit Palace provide for this World Conference?" ”
Master Yanwu lowered his eyebrows and pondered, but did not answer. Master Yan Yue said: "This matter needs to be decided. ”
Master Yanwu waved his hand slightly and said, "No. The retreat is a critical moment, so we don't have to worry about him, we just have to decide. This time, let's take the Millennium Bluncy Fat and the Water Repellent Bead, what do you two think?"
Master Yan Yong and Master Yan Yue thought for a moment, and then nodded slowly. Master Yanyong said lightly: "The World Conference, hehe, many sessions have passed since we participated, and it feels like yesterday." ”
Master Yan Yue said: "Senior brother, we are all old. It's up to these young people in the future. ”
......
Legend has it that Nuwa made people from the soil, so that there were all kinds of creatures in the world. It is rumored that the Inhumans were also made by Nuwa, but for thousands of years, humans and Inhumans have been incompatible. Xihemen and the Female Spirit Palace represent all the factions of mankind, taking the elimination of aliens as their own responsibility, making great efforts to govern the country, and producing many capable people, among which Xihemen is the most, and there is a faint sense of human leader.
And this world conference is organized by Xihemen, once every twelve years, to convene the young talents of all factions of human cultivation in the world, to meet friends with martial arts, in order to select the best talents of the young generation of each faction. Nowadays, all the factions in the human world, all the heads and elders have participated in the World Conference when they were young, and they have all shined at the meeting, and their reputation is resounding all over the world.
The rewards of the conference have always been rich, and the rewards of the top three are all said to be rare treasures in the world, and they have always been jointly provided by the two factions of the Women's Spirit Palace and Xihemen.
Master Yanwu laughed when he heard this, but then his expression darkened again, and said: "I heard that in the past few years, there has been a disciple named Guangbai in Xihemen, who is amazingly talented, and has become the one hundred and twenty-third chief disciple after Chang Ion, and it is very likely that he will inherit the position of the head of Xihemen in the future. The leader of this year's conference, it seems that Xihemen is bound to win. ”
Master Yanyue's eyes lit up, and he said lightly: "In the past hundred years, except for the last conference won by the nephew of the Kong Qing Division, the leaders have all been obtained by Xihemen without exception. The status of the world's largest faction is difficult to shake after all. ”
Master Yanwu replied, "That's right. It's a pity that Kong Qing is now in charge and can't participate in the competition, so he can only count on the disciples of our generation. ”
Master Yanyong comforted: "You don't have to be discouraged, there are also many excellent disciples in this class. Like Yun'e under Senior Brother Yanwu, Luo Banxia under Senior Sister Yanyue, and Ziyuan under my door are all good seedlings, and they also have a great hope of winning the championship. ”
The three of them bowed their heads together and looked at each other without saying a word.

The first peak on the right side of the Female Spirit Palace, in the library pavilion.
The library pavilion of the right head peak is the place where the entire female spirit palace keeps all kinds of classics and secret records, and is located in a remote corner of the right head peak, which is foggy all year round, and very few disciples come. At this time, the elder who was guarding the library was drowsy on the bamboo chair at the door, and a disciple about twenty years old had already walked slowly. The disciple bowed to the old man and said respectfully, "Elder, I want to go in and consult some classics." ”
The old man didn't raise his head, his eyelids moved slightly, and he waved his hand. The disciple nodded and bowed his hand, thanked him, and went straight inside.
The disciple who came here had a kind face and a tall posture, it was Luo Banxia.
The three-month time of facing the wall has passed, except for the late night visit of Ziyuan, Luo Banxia is alone in the back mountain to cultivate. At this time, just after the punishment period, he immediately came to the library pavilion.
The light in the library is dim, and dozens of tall wooden shelves are placed in it, and on each wooden shelf, there are dense piles of books and bamboo notes. Luo Banxia searched carefully, and after searching for an hour, he finally found a bamboo album he wanted.
The bamboo album was placed in an inconspicuous corner, covered with thick dust, and a few large vermilion characters were written extremely conspicuously: Shenzhou Demon Record. Luo Banxia cautiously opened the bamboo book, and a breath of ancient history came to his face. After a moment of careful searching, he came across such an account.
There are beasts, its shape is like a human and a man, burrowing and winter stinging, its name is called cunning. Living in groups, not alone, its sound is like chopping wood, and there is a big rope in the county when you see it.
Luo Banxia couldn't help but bow his head and ponder. When he saw the cunning dream in the demon demon fantasy realm, he felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that when the ancestors of the Female Spirit Palace subdued this demonic beast, they should have taken it to the whole clan, but how did this ancient demon seed appear around the Venerable Master Kuzen eight years ago?
Luo Banxia thought for a while, but couldn't think of a clue, so he happily gave up. Maybe there was something missing in the process of the ancestors' submission, or wait for Xiao Kongqing to leave the customs and then ask him, he is well-informed and will be able to answer the questions in his heart.
Thinking of this, Luo Banxia shook his head and walked out of the library pavilion. When he passed by the old janitor, he bowed down again. The old man did not raise his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep. Luo Banxia couldn't help but smile and went to the disciple's room.

Seven days after Danjuan left the Nuling Palace, above the central square of Zhongzhu Peak.
The sun rising in the east slowly bloomed warmly, and a figure of Edgeworth fell from the right. I saw him raise his hand and hold it in the air, and the cyan long sword suddenly turned into a little light and dissipated into the air.
Humming a little song on his lips, Luo Banxia secretly said in his heart: "Why is there no one?"
On the second day of Danjuan's visit to the Nuling Palace, Master Yanyue, his master, called Luo Banxia, who had just finished his retreat, and asked him to pack up and prepare to go out on a long trip. Luo Banxia was a little puzzled, but then her mood became happy. It turned out that Master Yanyue was going to send him to visit his colleagues in Xihemen, and by the way, he escorted the two magic weapons that the Nuling Palace gave to the World Conference as a reward to Xihemen.
It turned out that after Danjuan left, the three masters discussed and sent the outstanding disciples of each peak to Xihemen to return the gift, one is to escort the treasures, and the other is to show respect and visit each other. Because the number of people in the middle pillar peak and the left peak is the largest, each peak sends two people, and the right peak has the smallest number of people, so one person is sent to Xihe Mountain, a total of five people go to Xihe Mountain together.
Master Yanyue also told Luo Banxia about the situation of the World Conference, and asked him to prepare well for the conference in half a year. Luo Banxia was not interested in the conference, but he was very happy to leave the mountain this time. Since he apprenticed to the Nuling Palace eight years ago, he has never stepped out of the Nuling Mountain Realm. He has a free and easy nature and likes new things, so he is naturally in a good mood when he has this opportunity to go out for a trip.
After waiting for a while, two people slowly walked out of the Zhongzhu Peak disciple's wing room and came in the direction of the square. Luo Banxia hurriedly got up to greet him. I saw that the two people were a man and a woman, the man was ordinary-looking, tall, with a serious face, and he did not smile. But the woman was eye-catching, and Luo Banxia couldn't help but look at it twice.
The woman walked quietly with cold eyebrows and thin lips, a silver ribbon gathered shoulder-length hair, and graceful steps. The eyes are calm and waveless, but the face is a peerless beauty, which is comparable to the asters. Aster is the kind of stunning pure beauty, but the woman in front of her is a frosty beauty, which makes people dare not approach, but can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
When the two approached, Luo Banxia arched his hand and said, "Luo Banxia, the disciple of the right first peak, has seen two senior brothers and sisters. ”
The man also returned the salute: "Hello Senior Brother Luo, I am Cang'er Zi of Zhongzhu Peak, I am fortunate to meet you." ”
The beautiful woman nodded, she said hello, her voice was cold and unwavering, "My name is Yun'e, I am the person in charge of this trip to Xihemen, and the treasures of my door are carried by me this time, I hope you can listen to my words and don't move around without permission." She naturally said this to Luo Banxia, Cang'er Zi and her teacher belong to the same family, and they have known each other for a long time.
Luo Banxia replied: "Yes, I will follow my senior sister's orders." ”
Luo Banxia had heard of the name Yun'e for a long time, and Sun Zhi alone didn't know how many times he had nagged him. It is said that it looks like a national color and heavenly fragrance, and the asters of the left peak are called the two beauties of the Female Spirit Palace. His own Taoism is also the true inheritance of his master, Master Yanwu, far beyond his disciples of the same age. There is also a peerless divine soldier "Guiying" sword of the Female Spirit Palace as a sword, and the scenery is unique for a while. Although the name Luo Banxia is very familiar, this is the first time I have seen a real person, and it is really as passed on by all the disciples, with outstanding appearance, and it really has the beauty of sinking fish and geese.
While the three of them were chatting, two figures came from the left. In the distance, I heard a crisp voice shouting, "Little whore, you have come so early." It was very quiet in the square in the early morning, and the voice suddenly echoed. Luo Banxia beckoned awkwardly, and Yun'e and Cang'er looked at Luo Banxia with strange expressions.
The crowd gathered and introduced themselves. The crisp voice was naturally Ziyuan, and the one who came with her was a male disciple of Zuo Shoufeng, who was about the same age as Luo Banxia, and had a delicate appearance, named Ling You.
Luo Banxia looked left and right, on one side was Ziyuan and on the other was Yun'e, the two peerless beauties of the Female Spirit Palace gathered together, it was really a feast for the eyes. If Sun Zhi was there, he wouldn't have died of a nosebleed. It was an extremely beautiful picture, if it weren't for the fact that Zi Yuan was happy to take a bite of a little lewd thief, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes, then all this would really be perfect.
Yun'e said lightly: "Everyone is together, then let's set off" After speaking, the magic weapon of the royal rose and flew through the air first, everyone responded in unison, and they also rose up with their swords, and the five people turned into five streamers and disappeared into the sky.
