Chapter 536: Painting Dong Flying to Nanpuyun
Gu Yan nodded, took out a jade box from his arms and said: "These elixirs, I have put them in different categories, they are used by me when cultivating the impact pill for the disciples of this sect, the head of the sect can put it away, and use it as appropriate in the future, and no matter how good the elixir is, it is not the way of its own cultivation, it can be supplemented, and it cannot be completely relied on." ”
She had a taste of admonishment, Gan Biwu took it, and Gu Yan said: "There is still more than half a year before the sword washing pool opens, but I am ready to set off in a few days. My disciple said silently, please take care of the master. ”
She took out a jade bottle from her bosom and handed it over, "The foundation of Mo Yan is too thick, so that the pass is too strong to break through when the foundation is built, and I estimate that it will take several years for her to retreat this time." If I don't have time to rush back, please use this elixir and jade talisman to protect her. ”
Gan Biwu took the jade bottle and handed it to Lin Zitong, letting her take full responsibility for this matter, and silently said that when she was in the Spirit Garden, she was the best friend with Lin Zitong and Zhuying, so Gu Yan was also relieved. She heard Gan Biwu say some things about the Bixia Sect again, but she only listened to it and did not express her opinion. It's just that I have a little more understanding of Yunze's current situation.
After Gan Biwu finished speaking, the rest of the people talked about the affairs they were in charge of one by one, Gu Yan just listened, noncommittal, and when everyone finished speaking, he smiled and said: "You have all worked hard, Bixia Sect can have today, thanks to your position, and everyone will have to contribute more in the future." She stood up and looked around, and everyone thanked her, saying that they did not dare.
Gu Yan said: "I intend to leave here and go to the Tibetan Sword Villa. The return date of this trip is difficult to determine, short or one or two years, more or six or seven years, and there may not be another opportunity, I left a talisman seal, if there is an emergency, you can use this talisman to communicate with me. You know. After saying that, she gave the spirit talisman to Gan Biwu.
Gan Biwu took it respectfully, took out another jade talisman and handed it over. "This is a unique order of the elders of this sect, and this sect now has rudders in various counties of Yunze, and even in other countries. When the elders go, the resources of this sect can be used at will. ”
Gu Yan took it casually, put it in his arms, looked up at the sky, and just arrived at noon, he smiled and said, "I'll go here, there will always be a time to see each other in the future." Goodbye! ”
waved his hand to everyone, and when he stepped on his feet, a purple light rose into the sky. Break through the sky and go away.
Lin Zitong looked at her back, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little red. Over the years, although Gu Yan has been in retreat, with her name of Megatron Yunze, Bixia Sect has been smooth. Now Gu Yan turned around and left in a dashing manner, just like the shield that had been protecting the Bixia Sect, which was suddenly removed, I don't know, will there be a chance to meet in the future?
Gan Biwu patted her on the shoulder and said, "The monk pursues the Great Dao. The years are long, and gathering and dispersing is originally a common thing, if you can't even see this, then what is there to talk about in practice? ”
Lin Zitong's eyes were red and nodded, "I understand, but I am reluctant to give up." ”
Gan Biwu sighed: "Elder Gu's move is really meaningful, and it is for the good of Bixia Sect." Over the years, although she has been in retreat, the name she made back then was resounding, and with her sitting here, even the Yuan and Qin families have to avoid our limelight. But if it goes on like this, the Bixia Sect can't be regarded as a real big faction in the end, only when she leaves, can she still stand out in the clouds and develop and grow, then she can be regarded as truly qualified to stand in the forest of cangwu. She said leisurely, "Let's not let down her deep meaning." ”
Gu Yan stood on Ziyungui and leisurely watched the clouds rolling away under her feet, she did have the idea that Gan Biwu mentioned. She has stayed in the Bixia Sect for too long, and if she continues like this for a long time, it will inevitably make the sect inert, if a sect has been smooth, it is not a good thing, and only by no longer relying on the power of a certain individual person is the real way to develop. The nine major factions have lasted for thousands of years and have a long history, which one collapsed because of the loss of a leader?
She has high expectations for Bixia Sect, and she also hopes that these people can truly experience thorns and wind and rain, so she said that she would go and go, and she was not nostalgic. On the road of pursuing the avenue, she is destined to be alone.
According to her estimates, it would take at least three or five years for Mo Yan to retreat, so she was not in a hurry, and was ready to go all the way slowly, traveling to the Cangwu Continent by the way. She has been coming to Cangwu for more than 20 years, first in the southeast, then in Yunze, and the rest of the places have not been there, which is really worthy of the name of this holy land for cultivating immortals.
The entire Central Plains continent is divided into 16 countries in Kyushu and 25 shili. It was divided among the nine major factions. Except for Tianyun Continent, where the Jade Void Palace was located in the center, the rest were divided by the other eight sects. It's not that the Jade Void Palace is not big, in fact, the Tianyun Continent where they are located occupies nearly one-tenth of the area of the entire Cangwu Continent, all of which are immortal mountain resorts and places where spiritual energy gathers. Therefore, the rest of the territory is divided among the other eight sects.
The eight sects are also fair, evenly distributed, and each gets three. The shili of the Tibetan Sword Villa is in the south, with Yunze as the division of the Central Plains and the southeast wilderness, Yunze to the north, is Nanpu Prefecture, Nanpu to the north, is the Nantang country, in the Nantang country, is the Tiger Hill Washing Sword Pond, that is, the mountain gate of the Tibetan Sword Villa.
This time, Gu Yan was going to travel north along Yunze all the way, and after traveling in Nanpu for several months, he would then set off for Nantang. Dongyang is at the southernmost point of the entire Yunze, and her journey is to walk a curve, Zuihou and then reach the Tiger Hill Ridge.
All the counties of Yunze have the rudder of the Bixia Sect, but Gu Yan did not stop, after all, except for the sects that are close to the Bixia Sect, most of the other sects avoid her. Like the Yuan and Qin families, although they have also begun to have contacts with Bixia Sect over the years, they have never mentioned the word Gu Yan in their daily interactions. Especially the Yuan family, Gu Yan killed Yuan Yuan in the ancient battlefield, it can be said that the two have formed a deep feud, and the lid of this contradiction is not known when it will be revealed.
After the Qin family retreated in Qinzhong, Qin Jing was in charge of the family's internal affairs, and all external affairs began to be handled by Qin Feng, who had been to Bixia Sect once. At that time, Gu Yan was in retreat, and both of them tacitly did not mention Gu Yan's name.
However, the good law of the Evergreen Palace is quite strange, since that big competition, although the Evergreen Palace has been spared the risk of being divided, but Shili has also been greatly weakened, and many Shili have been eaten away by the Bixia Sect and the other newly rising Shili. In a fit of rage, Shanfa Zhenren simply closed the Evergreen Palace and scattered the people. With only a few close disciples, he went away to other places and left Yunze. I don't know where I'm going. This made Gu Yan very strange, when she killed Duanmu Qing and Dugu Yuerong in the Broken Cloud Cliff, it was equivalent to breaking his right arm, and afterwards she was always wary that this person would come to take revenge, but she was silent, and Gu Yan simply put it down. After all, she has practiced all the way, and all the enemies, if they are all concerned about it, then don't do anything in this life. This kind of thing. It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block it, and water coming to the earth.
She didn't stop in Yunze, but when she reached the sky above Yunyang City, she hovered for a while. Seeing that the two families of Yuan and Qin were as quiet as before, the imperial city was quite lively, and the monks were surging and the river was endless. Over the years, although the Yuan and Qin families have become more and more vigorous, the entire Yunyang City has become more lively than before. I heard that the old emperor is now hidden in the inner room, and everything is the cooking of the eldest prince, and they all say that he is majestic and talented, and he is more majestic than the old emperor back then. Gu Yan thought about it in his mind, but found that he couldn't remember the appearance of the prince anymore.
The location where the Evergreen Palace was located back then has now been occupied by a new sect supported by the royal family, and the tide rises and falls, and the world is probably like this. Gu Yan only hovered for a moment, and when she saw that there were already guarding monks below who were about to come up to inquire about her whereabouts, she didn't want to say more, she destroyed Zi Yungui, and a purple light was like electricity, and she headed north.
In the north of Yunyang City, she has rarely been here, she stopped and stopped along the way, and also specially visited several Lingshan Resorts, the local Bixia Sect rudder, seeing Gu Yan coming, they were extremely respectful, after all, Gu Yan was equivalent to an idol in the minds of those young disciples. Sometimes I had to stop for a while to instruct the young disciples in their practice.
Later, she simply stopped going to the rudder of Bixia Sect, only into those famous mountains and rivers, Lan Xiang had traveled to Cangwu back then, and was especially familiar with the three kingdoms under the jurisdiction of Zangjian Villa, and had specially written a catalogue for her as a map. After a month, he left the territory of Yunze and entered Nanpu Prefecture.
Nanpu is one of the Kyushu of Cangwu, with a vast area, especially above Yunze, and there is a large river separated from Yunze, which serves as the dividing line between the two sides. On the river, every time the sun rises in the east, the fog is steaming, and there are monks coming and going faintly, such as walking on the clouds and mist, the smoke and rain are wet, walking on the river, there is no special interest. Back then, someone used the poem "Painting the building to fly to the south of the clouds, and the bead curtain rolls up in the western mountains at dusk", which is nothing more than that.
The Shili structure of Nanhai and Yunze is not the same, there is no royal family here, but by several major local factions, divide and rule, every few decades, make a rotation, and the Luodi that Gu Yan went to back then, the difference is similar. And Nanpu once produced a person who was quite famous. It is the lintel of the peak master of Hanlian Peak.
As the only two Yuanying female monks in Cangwu, she stood on her own, and she was unique outside the nine major factions, and she was extremely respected by the monks of Cangwu.
Lin Zilin was born in a small sect in Nanpu, when she was young, her family was poor, she had suffered a lot, she was tortured by her stepmother, she had to go away, and she accidentally threw herself into a small sect of cultivating immortals as a miscellaneous servant, only to find that she had a spiritual root, just because she was young and weak, and she was not valued in the teacher, but she was stoic and wise, and slowly practiced, and actually succeeded in building a foundation and became the backbone of the sect. It's just that later, the sect she was in, because of the competition with other sects, was pressed by a real person in the late stage of the Yudan, and finally collapsed, she went overseas, and got a lot of opportunities, and when she returned to the Central Plains, she had become a Yuanying and became one of the dozens of people in Cangwu. She and the Blue Bird of Yunshang Valley are the only two Yuan Infant Female Cultivators in Cangwu.
Lin Zilin regarded Nanpu as sad and did not want to stay for a long time, she set up her own Hanlian Peak overseas, called the peak master, but the recruitment of disciples was very strict, and at its peak, it was only a dozen people.
She has her own faction overseas, does not participate in the affairs of the Central Plains, and the nine major factions do not embarrass her, which can be regarded as an outlier among the monks in Cangwu. But among the monks in Nanpu, all the monks regarded her as an idol, and the place where she had been stationed was circled by several major shili in Nanpu and set up as "Zi Lintel Peak", which is said to be every few hundred years. Will come back here for a few days and then come back.
These are all legends that Lan Xiang once told her, and she also told Gu Yan that the land of Nanpu is quite different from the customs of Yunze, although it is divided and managed by the major shili, but each has its own shili range. Achieving a delicate balance is not as chaotic as Yunze. The six shili each occupy a piece of territory, and the city of Nanyue is in the middle. It is the main city of the entire Nampo Prefecture, and every few decades there will be a faction of shili in charge. This cycle goes on and on, so that Nanpu and Yunze, which are separated by a river, present two different weather.
In these two places, the Tibetan Sword Villa implements completely different management strategies, which also makes Gu Yan think a little.
Bixia Sect also has a rudder in Nanpu, and after Gu Yan crossed the river, he flew northwest without stopping, and galloped for thousands of miles before stopping.
In front of her eyes was a green plain, where the tributaries of the great river branched off. Like a jade belt, across the plain, this river is called "Jade Belt River". The Jade Belt River is shaped like a half moon, surrounded by a large city, backed by mountains. Stretching for thousands of miles, this big city is the first big city from Yunze to Nanpu, with the moon city. The rudder of the Bixia Sect is located here.
Yunze is the passage connecting the Central Plains and the southeast, so the monks come and go, and there is an endless stream. However, there are not so many monks who come and go from Nanpu to Yunze, so Banyue City is not as prosperous as Dongyang, but it is a gathering place for the Lian clan, and as one of the six shili, it has a lot of status in Nanpu.
The Lian clan, which started because of the taming of beasts, has a great reputation for raising spirit animals, and then slowly accumulates shili and becomes one of the six shili in Nanpu. In the place of origin, built the city with the moon, the mountain behind the city, called Mangcang Mountain, there are many monsters in it, stretching for thousands of miles, there are countless Jedi in the secret realm, it is said that its mystery is not under the heavens, and it is also one of the famous secret places in the cangwu.
There are six passages connected to Mangcang Mountain in the city of Companion Moon, and all the monks who want to enter the mountain must offer spirit stones to them, which also lays the foundation for them to divide the shili of Nanpu. There are three rudders of the Bixia Sect in Nanpu, and one of them is in this Moon City.
Gu Yan landed in front of the city gate, unlike the rest of the cities he had seen, outside the city gate here, the main force of the guards was eight huge demon beasts, and there were four monks who controlled these eight demon beasts to guard the city gate.
When those monks saw Gu Yan landing, they hurriedly stepped forward and said very respectfully: "The fairy has descended on the earth, I don't know what you are doing?" "With Gu Yan's status as a late-stage monk of the Kyushu Dynasty, unless she is the one in control of the sixteen kingdoms of Kyushu, no matter what sect or family, you have to be respectful when you see her. Who knows if such a person will get married, and there is always nothing wrong with making friends.
Gu Yan didn't hide her cultivation, when she reached such a state, she didn't need to hide her head and show her tail, she just said lightly: "I'm from Yunze, so I don't need to bother too much to visit friends." Then he entered the city gate, and the monk who was guarding the gate hesitated a little, and then hurried back to the city in the other direction.
Gu Yan knew that he was going to report to the city lord, a monk from the late stage of the Yudan came to the big city, and the city lord's mansion always had to pay attention, not to mention that this was the foundation of the Lian clan, and it was not surprising that he paid special attention to foreign monks. She entered the city and found that the city was slightly different from the other cities she had seen before.
The architectural style here is particularly simple, all of them are built of thick blue bricks and stones, there are no delicate carved beams and painted buildings, the street is wide and tidy, and the monks who come and go look more leisurely, and they are not as prosperous as Yunyang City. However, at the intersection of the street corners, you can often see a lot of spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts seen here probably don't add up to so many in the entire Yunze. Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the predecessors once said that "a hundred miles of different days", Yunze and Nanpu are only separated by a big river, but here, it seems to have changed Shijie, and the scenery is completely different.
There are also some monks, with those petite and cute spirit beasts, selling on the street, and many female monks stop because of this, Gu Yan then understands why this place is not as prosperous as Yunyang, but the number of female cultivators is much more, the original reason is here.
Everything here is leisurely and quiet, few people fly in the air, most of them are walking on the road, Gu Yan also follows the local customs, she turned three streets, and saw a huge building, which is the rudder of the Bixia Sect in Banyue City.
There was a disciple guarding the gate, it was quiet inside, and there was no sound, Gu Yan was a little surprised, she heard Gan Biwu say that this place was the front station of the Bixia Sect to enter Nanpu, there were many people, there were two old disciples of the Bixia Sect sitting here, why are they so calm today?
She stepped forward and said with a pleasant face: "This place is the rudder of the Bixia Sect? ”
The doorkeeper was a female disciple, who was startled when she saw Gu Yan coming, she didn't know why this fairy had come here, and then she saw Gu Yan show her command, and she was so shocked that she even stammered when she spoke, "It turns out ...... It's Gu ...... I'm going back to report to Senior Sister Du! ”
She opened the door and rushed inside. Gu Yan frowned, followed in, raised his hand, closed the door, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, with Gan Biwu doing things safely, the disciples she stationed here must also be stable people, how can they act so frizzy?
She entered the front yard and was immediately startled, there were wolves everywhere, as if she had just experienced a big war and had not yet cleaned up, and there were even faint blood stains on the ground. A trace of murder suddenly surged in her eyes, although she left the Bixia Sect with the intention of letting go and letting them develop on their own, but when things were encountered, in her heart, she must not sit idly by.
At this time, in the front hall, more than a dozen people poured out, some men and women, Gu Yan glanced at it, but a few of them were familiar, she still remembered the one in front, it was before Wei Zhaoyi, it was Gan Biwu's personal disciple, it seemed to be surnamed Du. He beckoned and said, "Is this place in charge, what happened?" ”
The woman in the pale yellow shirt looked quite calm, she stepped forward and saluted Gu Yan and said, "Disciple Du Juan, welcome Elder Gu here." After speaking, she instructed her sisters to clean up the yard, invited Gu Yan to sit down in the front hall, and served tea.
Gu Yan saw that she was distributing affairs in an orderly manner, and secretly praised in her heart, only took a sip of tea, did not speak, and waited for her to speak.
Du Juan didn't beat around the bush, she smiled bitterly and said, "The elder came unfortunately, there was indeed a mess just now. Although she has a steady temperament, she is articulate and tells the story.
It turned out that Du Juan and another female cultivator named Xie Yunshi were stationed here to establish the first rudder of Bixia Sect in Nanpu, it has been several years, Gan Biwu and the city lord of the Lian family in this place, quite a little friendship, they established the rudder here, and it has always been smooth sailing, but a few months ago, the city lord lost his position as the city lord because of the battle within the Lian family, and was relegated to the barren mountain, so the days of Bixia Sect suddenly became a little bad.
Gu Yan said: "We only have a personal friendship with him, and it is also for his face as a city lord, and we have not intervened in the family dispute, will the new city lord be inconvenient to us?" ”
Du Juan smiled bitterly: "What the elder said is very true, it's just that a few days ago, Senior Sister Xie got a foreign object. "After changing the new city lord, the relationship with Bixia Sect is always light, but they didn't come to deliberately embarrass them, and Du Juan and Xie Yunshi also restrained their subordinates, trying not to make trouble in these days, it was supposed to pass like this, but a few months ago, Xie Yunshi was very quiet, because she had been trapped in the late stage of foundation building for a long time, and she was unable to reach the consummation of the state for a long time, so she couldn't help but feel anxious, and wanted to go out to find an opportunity, so she handed over the spirit stone in the city lord's mansion and wanted to go into the Mangcang Mountain for a visit.
The Mangcang Mountain is a prosperous place for monsters to gather, to say that the danger is very dangerous, but it is also the place where many monks are looking for opportunities, Xie Yunshi entered the Mangcang Mountain, and he did not return for two months, until Du Juan waited anxiously, she returned in a hurry on a moonlit night, her face was pale, Du Juan was startled, and thought she was injured, and hurriedly asked for details, but Xie Yunshi refused to say, or rather, she herself was a little ignorant, and she didn't know what happened, but she brought back a bead, which was quite strange.
Gu Yan asked, "That bead is available, can you see it with me?" ”
Du Juan smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for this pearl, there would not be any subsequent incidents." (To be continued)
