Chapter 17: The City of Green Clouds
Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, and time always passes quietly without leaving a trace. It's like you don't know when it's going to be or when the child has grown up.
In such a long time, time slowly passed by four years.
The eyes moved to the center of the Qingzhou continent, Qingyun City, the largest city in Qingzhou.
This ancient and bustling capital has stood for an unknown number of years, and it seems that it has existed for as long as each generation can remember.
At this time, under the bright midday sun, looking from high in the sky, I saw a huge city silhouette towering at the end of the earth, it was Qingyun City.
If you look closer, you will see a row of tall walls that stretch endlessly across the plain, splitting the earth in half.
In Qingyun City, you can clearly see that there are nine high mountains that reach into the sky like heavenly pillars, and they rise from the center of the city, as if the sky of the capital city is supported by these nine high mountains.
The high wall stands majestically, white as jade, and there is a city gate more than two zhang high under the city, and there are four big red characters on the book: the city of green clouds.
At this time, the noise in the city came and went, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city gates.
And in the sky, all kinds of flying beasts come and go like carriages on the ground. The people on the flying beast talked and laughed, so chic.
It can be said that whether it is in the air or on the ground, it is by no means an exaggeration to describe it as busy.
Countless people live here, commoners, wealthy people, and practitioners from all over the world.
Although people don't know when Qingyun City appeared, they know the reason why he has been able to stabilize and prosper for so long.
Actually, the reason is very simple, there are only three words: Qingyun Sect!
Because on the nine towering peaks, there are fairyland-like buildings and pavilions all over the mountain, which is where the Qingyun Sect is located.
It can even be said that Qingyun City is Qingyun Sect!
Although it is not known when the Qingyun Sect was founded, people do not need to know because it doesn't matter.
For ordinary people in Qingzhou, the three words Qingyunzong mean fairness, the rule of law and justice.
For cultivators, the Qingyun Sect is even more of a special significance.
It is not only the authority and holy place of cultivators in Qingzhou, but also the highest existence of strength.
However, as the current sect master of Qingyun Sect, Qing Yuanzhen's eyes were full of worry.
At this moment, he was standing on the top of Qingyun Mountain with his hands behind his back. Although there was a lot of noise and shouting from below, his eyes were only staring into the distance. It seems to be looking forward to someone's return.
The breeze came slowly, lifting his long hair that was scattered over his shoulders, and his green robe was slanted by the wind.
With delicate facial features, a handsome face, and thick eyebrows, it may be difficult for people to imagine that as the current sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, Qing Yuanzhen looks like such a young man, no more than thirty at most.
"Master, are you worried about the young sect master?"
A deep voice suddenly came from behind Qing Yuanzhen, breaking Qing Yuanzhen's thoughts.
For there was a man standing there, a giant who was more than eighteen feet tall.
He had no hair, big feet, no shoes, and no clothes. His broad body was full of strong flesh, and his eyes were red like fire, like a mountain standing there.
"Big man, you said that Zi Yan shouldn't have any accidents, right?"
Qing Yuanzhen's voice was vicissitudes, as if it came from the wilderness.
"Master, don't worry too much, in this Qingzhou, those who dare to touch the Qingyun Sect are only afraid that they have not been born yet!"
Hearing the big man's words, Qing Yuanzhen's eyes finally relaxed and nodded slightly.
"Even so, the number of people they accompany on this trip is too small, and their cultivation is not high! Not to mention that I have been feeling that something is going to happen recently, do you think you can not only worry?"
"Master, don't worry! If you don't go through training, how can Zi Yan take over the position of sect master after a hundred years?"
"Yes, I think I'm her age, and I've been hunting spirit beasts alone in the boundless forest!"
Speaking of this, Qing Yuanzhen's eyes suddenly softened.
"Senior brother, second senior brother, you are here. ”
As soon as Qing Yuanzhen's words fell, two figures suddenly appeared behind him.
"Senior Brother Yuanzhen, you can make it easy for us to find!"
At this time, the two old men, one tall and one short, slowly walked to Qing Yuanzhen's side.
They were dressed no different from Qing Yuanzhen, although their hair was snow-white and their white beards reached their chests, their whole bodies exuded a vigorous aura.
Obviously, these two people are very good.
"Senior brother, I don't know what bothers me this old bone?" Qing Yuanzhen smiled faintly.
"Senior brother said that he laughed, if it was a trivial matter, how dare he use it to disturb senior brother!" the shorter old man replied with a smile.
"There are more than ten days left for our annual alchemy conference in Qingzhou, as well as the initiation ceremony of the new disciples this year, everything has been taken care of, but this host..."
"Do you want to hold it and invite someone?"
"In terms of the status of physicians, Shizu is naturally the most suitable. But since the sudden disappearance of Shizu four years ago, there has been no news. ”
"So, what the two of us mean is that this host has to be a Xuqing senior"
"Since the two senior brothers said so, leave this matter to me!"
"In the past four years, all the things up and down in the sect have been handled by you, and I have been idle. But it's really too much for you to let go of your cultivation and worry about trivial matters!"
"Where is the junior brother, the affairs of the sect are our affairs!"
"Alas, I don't know where Grandpa is now?" Qing Yuanzhen's vicissitudes of life seemed to have another bit of vicissitudes in his voice.
"Senior brother, don't worry too much, the old man of the master has cultivated to the world, maybe he remembered something very important, and he was in a hurry to do it, and he couldn't come back for a while!" the taller old man comforted.
"Forget it, let it be! By the way, what are the qualifications of the newly recruited disciples this year? How many rare talents are there?" Qing Yuanzhen turned his head and asked.
"This year, a total of one hundred and thirty-five disciples have been recruited, and a few of them have good qualifications and have a good future! But this year, there are very few Yin and Yang Body Practitioners, only five!"
"Five, how is it three times less than in previous years?"
"Since the news of the appearance of the Spirit Pool spread four years ago, those who conceived the body of Yin and Yang have gone to the Spirit Pool, and there are many fewer people who are willing to join the sect. ”
"It's really a group of people who don't think about themselves! Lingchi has only appeared in a state for 9,000 years, how can they find it if they want to?"
"Yes, one spirit sect for a thousand years, one spirit pool for ten thousand years! Everything has to depend on creation!" The shorter old man actually sighed.
"Alright, let's stop talking about that!Big man, let's go visit that old guy in Xuqing!!"
Before Qing Yuanzhen's words fell, the giant turned into a horse in an instant, and his whole body was black. It is a foot long, with wings spread out on its back.
However, Qing Yuanzhen had just sat on the horse, but she heard a loud "boom" from the bottom of the mountain.
