Chapter Thirty-Four: The Dry Clouds and the Mountains Are Strange
"Master, master, we're here, we're here!" Zheng Qiu suddenly bounced up from the straw mat and pulled the master who was still dozing off.
"Ah, it's time for the Qianyun Sect?" the master raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, driving the sleepiness out of his head. Zheng Qiu couldn't wait to run behind Yun You to push the wheelchair, and while walking into the hall, he turned back and urged: "Master, hurry up, hurry up!"
Leave Tianzhou along the ramp, and the place where you settle is a huge square. The square is paved with stone slabs, which are covered with a thin layer of gray iron sheet.
The heavenly boat they sat on was also held up by the boat, but the boat platform here was not made of stone pillars, but iron. Zheng Qiu looked up and looked around, there were more than 20 boats on the square, and there were no less than six large and small heavenly boats.
There were also many cultivators in the square, some of them walking, and some of them flying into the air. Following the direction in which these people were going, Zheng Qiu and the three of them came to the side of the square.
Raising his eyes and looking into the distance, his eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, wow, Qianyun Sect, this is the Qianyun Sect! In front of him is a stretch of mountains, verdant and ancient, stretching from the line of sight to the horizon in the distance, and there are countless peaks.
These peaks range from high to low, large to small, and come in a variety of shapes. Some peaks have smooth tops, some peaks are missing half of them, and some are tilted to one side.
From a distance, the buildings of the Qianyun Sect are all gray, some of these gray buildings are like square pillars, some are like barrels, and they are densely covered with mountains like stars. Some of the pillars are particularly high, sticking straight into the sky, looking like they have a long nail stuck in the mountain.
Seeing these mountain peaks with obvious artificial traces, and then seeing those regular gray buildings, as well as those old and huge trees, Zheng Qiu couldn't help but feel weird in his heart. The Qianyun Sect, which is rooted in this mountain, is so out of place and out of harmony with the environment here.
Zheng Qiu looked down, and like the post station when he set off, the square he was in was also a flattened mountain. It's just that now the peak is a little bigger and a little flatter. On the left side of the square, there is a small stone brick-paved avenue, which extends to the center of the Qianyun Sect.
Zheng Qiu was not in a hurry to go to the sect, the first thing he thought of was to fill his stomach.
"Master, let's go find something to eat. He counted on his fingers, "Lunch, dinner, breakfast, yesterday noon until now, there are three meals that I haven't eaten." ”
The master looked around the square and found that there was also a round building in the corner of the square, which was exactly the same as the house of the post station: "Good apprentice, that one is the same as the post station, maybe there is also a restaurant." ”
"Great, master, let's go and have a look!" Zheng Qiu pushed into the wheelchair and ran over first.
The round house is also made of stone, but like the floor of the square, the walls of the house are covered with a thin layer of iron. Running into the gate, Zheng Qiu's footsteps stopped.
The inside is different from the post house, and the whole round house is a hall. There were many tables and chairs in the hall, and on the innermost wall hung a huge wooden plaque more than two feet high.
At this time, the hall was crowded with people, not to mention that there were no chairs to sit on, and there was not even a space to push a wheelchair in. What is the situation? Zheng Qiu had never seen so many cultivators, and there were only question marks in his head.
At this time, Zheng Qiu saw from a distance that a middle-aged man with a long beard flew up in front of the big wooden plaque, and the clothes worn by the man were also white with a green cloud pattern, it seemed that the people in charge of Tianzhou in the Qianyun Sect were wearing this.
The man took out three rolls of paper full of things and pasted them on the wooden plaques one by one. As soon as these papers were pasted, the cultivators in the hall suddenly became lively, and they all squeezed in front of the wooden signs, and while reading the words on the paper, they were talking noisily.
The crowd leaned in, the gate was no longer so crowded, and a row of wooden frames by the wall grabbed Zheng Qiu's gaze tightly, and he grinned with joy and ran over excitedly. Like the inn's restaurant, there are fruits and vegetables on wooden shelves, but here they are more abundant, not on plates, but in wooden barrels.
Zheng Qiu looked back at the hall, there was no place to sit, so he took off his short jacket, tightened the cuffs and collar, picked up the wooden bucket and poured the fruit into the waist of his clothes.
While pouring the fruit, the discussion of the crowd in the hall reached Zheng Qiu's ears.
"What's going on? Why can't my Tianzhou set off yet?"
"You're not the only one, none of the three have left here. ”
"Qianyun Sect, what are you doing? Tianzhou has stopped here for two months, and Lao Tzu himself can fly if he waits. ”
"I haven't set off for almost three months. ”
"Is the Tianzhou broken?"
"If it's broken, you can change Tianzhou, it's definitely not Tianzhou's fault. ”
"Do any of you know what's going on?"
"I heard that there are sects fighting on the route of the three heavenly boats, could this be the reason?"
"Cloud sleeves can have a few sects, and the fight will be on the clouds, don't be kidding. ”
"I've heard about it too, and it seems that Ink Shadow Valley is involved. ”
"Ink Shadow Valley, the top ten sects, no wonder ......"
"Zheng Qiu, enough is enough, enough is enough to eat, don't let people see jokes. Yun Yu spoke up to stop Zheng Qiu from continuing to pour the fruit.
"Good, good. Zheng Qiu put back the wooden barrel, tied the waist of his clothes, looked left and right, and saw that everyone was talking about the brand, he put his hand into the wooden barrel again and took a fruit. Putting the fruit in his mouth, he picked up the clothes full of fruit and pushed Yun You out of the round house.
Leaving the square and walking along the stone brick avenue in the direction of Qianyun Sect, Zheng Qiu and the three of them took out the fruit and nibbled on it as they walked. About half an hour later, the fruit in the clothes was eaten, and the mountain gate of the Qianyun Sect also appeared in front of him.
On the left and right of the mountain gate are two iron pillars thick with human thickness, and a beam is held up horizontally on the iron pillar, and two chains are hung on the beam, which are tied with two big metal characters of dry and cloud respectively. Jingling, under the blowing of the mountain wind, the two big characters shook and bumped, like wind chimes.
On the left side of the iron pillar is written: Qiankun accommodates distinguished guests from all directions, and on the right side of the iron pillar is written: Juyun Nawanshan Treasures.
There was a small stone house on the side of the mountain gate, and when I saw Zheng Qiu and the three of them standing in front of the mountain gate, a young man came out of the stone house. The clothes worn by the young man were different from those on the other side of the Tianzhou, and the cloud pattern on his chest was blue.
He smiled and nodded to Zheng Qiu and the others, looking very warm and polite: "Welcome to Qianyun Sect." Why did the three of them come here? Are they here to buy exercises, or are they here to visit the sect? To buy exercises, please declare their identities, and when they visit the sect, please show their invitations. ”
The sudden enthusiasm made Zheng Qiu very uncomfortable, and this person spoke in a tone like a vendor in a bazaar, the kind that stands in front of the store all day long.
Zheng Qiu avoided the young man's enthusiastic gaze, thought for a while and replied, "Eh, I'm here to find someone." No, no, it was you people from the Qianyun Sect who asked me to come to find someone. ”
