Although it was early spring, the temperature was still very low, and the cold wind was howling.

At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Duo came in with a bag of packed meals, and asked the two little girls who were doing homework in the house to come out to eat.

She took off her scarf and hung it aside, rubbed her hands, and opened the door again to Xu Lai's room opposite, ready to beckon Xiao Hei to come over for dinner.

Every time Xu Lai was away, Xiao Hei was taken care of by her.

I opened the door with the key, and was about to go in, when I saw a figure sitting on the sofa, and I immediately screamed in fright.

She hurriedly turned on the light.

"When you're back, don't say a word!" Chen Duo patted his chest and entered the door angrily.

It was none other than Xu Lai sitting on the sofa. Xiao Hei was squatting next to her, two yellow-green cat eyes faint.

"Just a few minutes after I came back, landlord, you just got home?" Xu Lai said with a smile.

"yes." Chen Duo walked over angrily, saw him packing his things, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you go back to Jiangning?" They have all gone to Mount Tai. ”

At this time, there is only one day left before the Shumen Conference, and there is still a lot of way to go to Mount Tai, so Hongyuan, Gao Xiang and others have already set off this morning.

"I've got some things to do when I get back." Xu said.

"Is something wrong?" Chen Duo was nervous.

"It's okay, Jiangning will rely on you as the landlord during this time." Xu said, getting up and picking up his backpack.

"Jiang Ning, don't worry, I have discussed it with Tangtang, it shouldn't be a big problem." Chen Duo said.

"Then I'll take the flower girl away, it's not a big problem, right?" Xu Lai asked.

"It's huge!" Chen Duo said with great certainty.

"Do you want to overcome it?" Xu said.

"Can't get over it!" Chen Duo decisively refused.

In Xu Lai's absence, Hua Wuji, a big master, basically belongs to the Dinghai Divine Needle of Jiangning City, if he is also taken away, this situation is really unimaginable for Chen Duo.

"I'll let Wangcai come over for him." Xu Lai thought about it and said.

"You said Xiao Lu Jin? That's fine! Chen Duo immediately made a decision.

After the two discussed, Xu Lai carried his bag and prepared to go out.

Chen Duo followed, "You're going to leave now, have you eaten?" ”

"Do you have any bread for me?"

"Yes, you wait!" Chen Duo ran to her own room, took out a few breads and stuffed them into his hands.

Zhao Xiaomin and Zhang Yichun heard the movement and also ran out.

Xu Lai smiled and waved to the three of them, and then entered the elevator.

Coming down from the upper floor, with a loaf of bread in his mouth, he headed all the way east, and just walked to the traffic light intersection, he received a call from Gao Xiang.

"I heard from the landlord that you left in the morning?" Xu Lai asked with a smile.

"Yes, God, we're on the train right now."

At this time, Gao Xiang and Hongyuan Daochang and a few others were sitting on the train to Mount Tai, and the rest of the people heard him talking to Xu Lai, and they all turned their heads over.

"Where are you now, great god, can you catch up with the Sect Conference?" Gao Xiang asked, what they were most concerned about was this matter.

"I just arrived in Jiangning, there is still something to do, try your best, you may not be able to catch up." Xu said.

"Huh?" Gao Xiang was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask another question, so he listened to Xu and said, "First of all, I have something to deal with here." ”

Immediately after that, the phone hung up.

"How?" Sun Muyu hurriedly asked.

"The great god said let's go first, he has other things to do, and he may not be able to catch up." Gao Xiang said with a bitter face.

The train went smoothly.

Mount Tai, also known as Dongyue, is the first of the five mountains, and is called the first mountain in the world.

Since ancient times, it has been worshiped by the people, it is the sacred mountain of the emperor's high sacrifice, since the Qin Emperor, there have been thirteen generations of emperors who have climbed Mount Tai to seal the Zen or sacrifice.

As the so-called Mount Tai is safe, all over the world are safe, Mount Tai is regarded as the supreme in the mountains, so for all dynasties, the venue of the previous conferences of the sect will be selected on Mount Tai.

However, in modern times, there are more and more tourists in Mount Tai, and many places have become tourist attractions, so the address of the Shumen Conference has long been not the main peak of Mount Tai, the Jade Emperor Peak, but changed to the belly of the mountain that is rarely visited.

Now it has just started spring, it is not the peak tourist season, there are not too many people who come to Mount Tai, but there are also many tourists who are ready to climb the main peak with great interest.

Hongyuan Daoist and his entourage of five people, although they are not newcomers in the magic world, but all of them are participating in the Sect Conference for the first time, and the road is not very familiar.

They only heard about it from Xu Lai, and they could only start from the foot of the mountain, and climb up with the flow of tourists, until they reached Taohuayu, and then they touched a trail, which ran counter to most tourists and went to a steep and remote area.

The location of the Sect Conference was on the mountainside in a place called Back to the Wind Valley.

The valley is flat in the middle, but it is surrounded by cliffs that resemble a large bowl embedded in the ground. In the valley, there are some stalagmites of different shapes, which are a spectacle.

It's just that when Hongyuan Dao Chang and a few people arrived in a hurry, they only saw an empty valley, and they didn't see half a figure at all.

"What's the situation?" Several people looked at each other.

"We can't go wrong, can we?" Yuan Qi walked around and ran over to ask.

"Shouldn't it?" The person who led the way was Gao Xiang, he had listened to Xu Lai's dictation and repeatedly confirmed, it should be this place.

And looking at the appearance of this nameless valley, it is similar to what Xu said.

"Could it be that this conference has changed places?" Peng Kuan, who hadn't spoken much, also interjected.

"Impossible, please don't say it." Gao Xiang took out the invitation card and looked at it again, confirming that he didn't mention a word.

They wanted to call Xu Lai and ask again, but found that there was no signal.

"What then?" A few people stared at each other.

According to common sense, if the conference was really held here, someone should have come a long time ago.

Even if the other participants can wait until tomorrow to come, then someone from the six major factions in charge of the organization should also come, right? After all, no matter what, the venue is about to start to be arranged.

In the end, it was Hongyuan Dao who patted the board, and he will rest here for the night tonight, and wait for tomorrow to take care of it.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the cold wind on the mountain was howling, especially cold, and this valley due to the topography, not only did not cut off the wind, but from time to time rolled up a violent whirlwind, flying sand and rocks, no wonder not even a single grass grew in this valley.

"This should be the Valley of the Wind, right?" Sun Muyu was so blown by the strong wind in this valley that he couldn't open his eyes.

When they came, they heard Xu say that Huifeng Valley was originally a nameless barren valley, and because the valley was often stormy, it was called Huifeng Valley by the mages.

A few people found a leeward place, nestled together and slept together.

Until the early hours of the morning, when several people were sleeping deeply, they vaguely heard the sound of someone outside, woke up and got up to take a look outside, and saw that there were many more people in the originally empty valley, and they were gathering together to talk and talk.

After listening to a few words in the past, I knew that these people were all fellow mages who had come to participate in the Sect Conference.

At this time, Daoist Hongyuan and others knew that there had always been an unwritten rule in the Shumen Conference.

For example, if the conference is held tomorrow, then everyone will arrive at sunrise in time, and there will be no decoration in the venue, no tables or chairs.

Whether it is the head of a top-level sect or a little-known disciple of a small sect, all of them sit standing or sitting on the ground, so as to show that the cultivators advocate the natural and simple style.

Hongyuan and the others are all newcomers who have never participated in the conference, and they don't know the reason, and Xu Lai didn't give them a special explanation, so they made a joke.

As the sky grew brighter, more and more people gathered in the valley.

The group of people in Longhuyuan squatted in a rather remote corner, looking at the crowd coming and going.

Compared with the last opening ceremony of the Quanzhen Sect, the sects that came to the meeting this time were obviously more and more mixed.

After all, they are peers, and many of them know each other well, greet each other, and talk to each other.

And the Dragon and Tiger Courtyard is obviously the most deserted, although Hongyuan Dao Chang is a very senior old mage, but because he lives in Daxian Ridge all the year round, there is basically no sect that interacts with each other, and there are almost no connections.

However, the group was still quite excited, even if it was an old and serious person like Hongyuan Dao Chang, he couldn't help but look around, after all, the Shumen Conference was a rare grand occasion in the Shumen.

While a few people were talking, they saw a group of people walking towards each other on the opposite side.

Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu glanced at each other, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and called, "Master, hello senior brothers and sisters." ”

The person who came was Yuan Men and his party.

"The two of them are masters of the Dragon and Tiger Academy, and we can't afford to climb high." Yuan Tianlin said coldly, and without looking at the two of them, he walked over indifferently.

A group of disciples behind him glanced at the two of them, and they were also indifferent, but the girl named Luo Jia looked unbearable and sighed slightly.

Mage is unmatched
