Chapter Thirty-Eight: Into the City
() The sword light disappeared, and dozens of people showed their bodies with murderous spirit. Half of them are dressed in Kunlun costumes and are Kunlun disciples, and the other half are disciples of various sects of Taoism. The two leaders have an orange face and a dense beard, and they are Yu Wenhua, a disciple of the Yuxu Palace, and the other has towering cheekbones and a strange appearance, and they are an elder of the Qingcheng faction with a lot of status. Both of them had faces sinking like water, and they raised their eyes lightly to sweep Fang Zhong and his entourage, who were guarding the city tower, and strode over.
Fang Zhong knew that the brigade was coming, and he had already waited for the city with Zheng Yuanhong, Hou Xin and others, and at this moment, seeing Yu Wenhua coming first, he went up to meet him: "Disciple Fang Zhong, knock to see Uncle Yu." "That girl Magu, Zheng Yuanhong, Hou Xin, and Jiang Chengzi all came to salute, they are all the heads of the family, they only need to perform the same ceremony, and they don't need to be like Fang Zhong. Although Yu Wenhua was not familiar with Fang Zhong, he had also heard of his name, and nodded: "It turned out to be Master Fang's nephew, so there is no need to be polite." After meeting with the rest of the people, he said: "I and Elder Liu of Qingcheng Mountain will come first, and Uncle Zhou and the heads of Qingcheng Mountain, Kuocang Mountain, Jinting Cave and other heads will arrive later, and you will welcome you with me and Elder Liu." ”[]
The gate of Luoshui City was wide open, Yu Wenhua and Elder Liu each led the accompanying disciples to stand on the left and right, and two people behind them raised their hands to sacrifice two things, one of which was a big incense burner, and the other was a gossip flag, all of which fell on both sides of the avenue, and the furnace was lit with three high incense sticks, and the green smoke rose up. This is called burning incense and praying, and the blessing of the three Qings.
Not long after this qiē was settled, there were figures in the distance, and Zhou Gongwang led countless disciples of the Dao Sect to finally appear in the sight of people. The first person was quite old, but he was very old, with gray and white beard fluttering, a sword obliquely inserted behind his back, and a strange beast like a horse and a deer, named Bai Ze, with four hooves on the ground without dust, without a little fur on his body, it was Zhou Gongwang himself. Behind him followed four people, the first one had a long beard fluttering, a Taoist robe covering his body, and a yīn yang water avoidance sword hanging from his waist, and under the seat was a black unicorn beast covered in scale armor. Next to Yue Guangzu, there is a burly figure, a rough face, riding a male lion, it is Wei Zhongzuo, the head of the Qingcheng faction, and the second person is a yellow-crowned floating dust, with a thin face, a white sè beard hanging straight down to the chest, and a seven-sè deer sitting on the seat, which is the master of Jinting Cave Chongmiao. The last person is dressed as a layman, like a rich outsider, with two eight-character mustaches slightly upturned, straddling a strange beast that looks like a cow but not a cow, with a black sè beast horn, named Ji Niu, who is the master of Sima Ming Empty Valley in Lingxu Valley.
Except for Zhou Gongwang and Yue Guangzu, the latter three are all the heads of the famous sects in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Behind the five people, there are the disciples of the Kunlun Sect and a number of sects, among these people, there are also some leaders of small sects, and they know that their status cannot be compared with the people in front, so they line up in the back team. The large group of men and horses came in a surge, half of them had their own mounts, and those who did not have mounts followed in a proper manner. The smoke and dust of the beasts on the ground were billowing up, but not a single bird or bird was flying high in the air. It's not that these people with three mountains and five mountains, five lakes and four seas don't have birds, but Zhou Gongwang and others are running on the ground, and whoever dares to fly above his head doesn't dare to take out a flying mount and gallop at will.
Zhou Gongwang came to Yu Wenhua majestically, and gently tugged Bai Ze, and Bai Ze made a sound like a baby crying, and then suddenly stood still. Yu Wenhua bowed down and said, "Uncle Zhou, as soon as Luoshui City is well, please enter the city." Zhou Gongwang glanced at many people behind him and asked, "How many sects have gathered here?" Yu Wenhua said: "When the disciple came, Master Fang's nephew and nephew were already here, together with the five sects of Baishi Mountain, Yuzhi Temple, Qingyu Island, Zhangxian Temple, and Baofu Mountain, to welcome Uncle Zhou together. When Zhou Gongwang heard what Master Fang's nephew said, he raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Fang Zhong? Yu Wenhua said: "Exactly." Zhou Gongwang said coldly: "Come with me." "As soon as Bai Ze was urged, when he entered the city and passed by Fang Zhong, Zheng Yuanhong and the others, he didn't even look at it, let alone Wen Yan.
The rest of the people rumbled one after another, and even Yu Wenhua followed, but no one called Fang Zhong in. Fang Zhong and the others lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, not knowing who was passing in front of them. After a few hours, the smoke and dust cleared, and the brigade was finished. Zheng Yuanhong coughed a few times, spit out a few mouthfuls of turbidity, stretched out his hand to pat the dust that fell on his body, and said angrily: "Everyone has eaten a nose of ashes, Gao Xian is so big this week." Brother Fang, he obviously recognized you, so he didn't say a word, so we still came to greet him. Hou Xin said: "Don't talk nonsense, the Kunlun faction is strict, even if it is a disciple who looks down on him, how can he show his love in front of people." Zheng Yuanhong said: "That's right, Brother Fang is a disciple of the Jade Void Palace, how can he be regarded as idle." Fang Zhong also dusted off the dust casually, thinking about Zhou Gongwang's character, he had collided with him a few times, and this person had a deep prejudice against Jiang Wenxian, but he was afraid that with his temper, he was simply an unfilial son of unknown origin and disobedient to his elders in his eyes, and it was time to start the matter.
Fang Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Zhou's temper is not good, in case there are any words that are too serious, don't be angry." Let's go in too. The group then entered the city.
Zhou Gongwang's first choice is the original Magu Mountain meeting place, when Ma Youde came here was empty, naturally pick up a spacious and comfortable place to live, now the dove occupies the magpie's nest, only to give up this place. Anyway, it won't be Fang Zhong's turn to speak next, so it's better to stay here than nothing. The rest of the sects were also stationed one after another, Fang Zhong and the others had already been prepared, except for the south of the city, all the places that looked like there were all occupied, and there were so many people in Luoshui City, and it was very lively all of a sudden. The originally lifeless and dilapidated city has finally gained a lot of popularity.
According to Fang Zhong's seniority, even if Zhou Gongwang invited the crowd to discuss matters, he would not call him, so naturally he had to go back to his home to rest. Zheng Yuanhong and the others, as the heads of the sect, got a password and invited them to the lobby for a gathering. Fang Zhong entered the house alone, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a person in the courtyard with a long sword in a green shirt and a scarf tied to his head, who was only in the middle of his life, talking to Xiaolan with his back to him. As soon as Xiaolan saw Fang Zhong enter the door, she hurriedly said, "Brother Zhong, this eldest brother said that he came to you." The man turned his head and said, "Fang Zhong, you will pick a place, not only do you have a good place to live, but you also have a lady as your companion, I am afraid that you will throw me, the master, out of the clouds." Fang Zhong saw the person who came and said happily: "Master, how did you find here?" The person who came was Qian Wenyi, and he said with a smile: "Just find a disciple who stays in this city and ask about it, so what's so difficult." "Those three disciples have long been familiar with Fang Zhong, so they will naturally find out as soon as they ask.
Fang Zhong saw that although Qian Wenyi was smiling, there was a sadness between his eyebrows, and asked, "Is there anything unhappy about Master?" Qian Wenyi stammered: "It's not a big deal, the demon path is arrogant, so it's troublesome." Fang Zhong said: "I have a lot of empty rooms here, only Xiaolan and I live, if the master doesn't dislike the humble house, he will stay here." Qian Wenyi moved and said, "You and her here?" This ......" Fang Zhong said: "Exactly, the house is wide and sparsely populated, so one more person might as well." ”
Qian Wenyi was silent for a while, and said with a little embarrassment: "There is really something annoying, and it is inconvenient for others to see this matter, I think...... Take a woman in with you. ”
