Chapter 204: Dongfang Qinglong Gate
The Lingyin Continent has no continuous history. Because here, there has never been a unified regime, and it has always controlled resources and territory in the form of sects, and there is no need to revise history at all.
Each sect, although it has its own important aspirations, is only for its own sect. Unless something of great importance happens with other sects, it is unlikely that outsiders or sects will be involved.
It may be precisely because of this that important events, including the current four gates, suddenly appeared like a fault.
The time of the formation of the four gates is basically the same, and it can be traced back thousands of years from the present. It is generally believed that before the appearance of the Four Great Gates, there should have been a super-large sect that controlled the entire continent. But later, the sect disintegrated into four, forming the current four gates.
And the important events of that sect are estimated to have been deliberately destroyed in the chaos.
From the beginning of its formation, the four major schools have been balanced in strength, with a balance of strength from the east, west, north and south, and mutual constraints. For thousands of years, this balance has never been broken.
Therefore, each of the four sects is on one side, and the disciples in the sect only operate within the control of their own sect, and are not allowed to trespass into the scope of other sects, otherwise it will be a violation of the heavy law.
Within the control of the four major sects, large and small spiritual gangs began to form. These gangs are the law of the jungle, but they are generally dependent on and dependent on the four major factions. In order to maintain order and resolve some disputes that may lead to chaos, the Four Great Sects established a system of patrol envoys.
Among the sects, there will be some people with relatively high cultivation and prestige who will become envoys. In the beginning, the Patrol was only responsible for patrolling the area and solving problems.
The formation of the patrol system has made order on the mainland, and there are fewer and fewer wars on the territory controlled by all parties, so it has been used to this day.
But later, it was discovered that there were often some small things that involved the interests and management between the two major sects, and if they were all reported to the Sifang Gate, the timeliness would be slow and involve a lot of energy.
For example, at the junction of two gates, there is a homicide, or a conflict. Since it was a conflict between civilians, there was no need for the gate to come forward. But the problem is that for the sake of fairness and justice, one side will always punish the civilian population of the other side. If you don't report it to the other sect, it is very easy to cause misunderstandings.
Therefore, after the discussion of the four gates, the establishment of the Great Patrol Envoy System began. There are two people from each door, one chief envoy and one deputy envoy, forming eight major envoys, who can travel around the mainland at will, and have the right to directly deal with affairs involving multiple departments.
And Wei Da is currently the third ranked Qinglong envoy among the eight major envoys. Previously, Chang Mao suddenly disappeared, and he was ordered to search for him in the Lingyin Continent.
Wei Da explained these contents to Ding Qin in detail. Ding Qin was not so attentive when he listened, because many things had nothing to do with him.
He was now desperate to know if there was a so-called Chiyan Mountain on this continent, and if so, where would it be. And if not, where did the father go.
After more than a month of travel, Wei Da took Ding Qin and He Yan into an extremely open plain.
On the plain, there is a very wide road. After walking along the road for another three days, a large town appeared in front of Ding Qin's eyes.
No, this is not a town, but a real Oriental Green Dragon Gate.
After walking so many places in the Lingyin Continent, this is the only area with tall walls.
The entire Dongfang Qinglong Gate, 20 miles wide from east to west and 30 miles long from north to south, is all surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. At the top of the wall, eight dragons are carved, two in each direction, the dragon's head is opposite, and it intersects at the four gates of east, west, north and south.
Due south, is the main gate of the Oriental Green Dragon Gate. The dragon head here is raised from the city wall, and there is a huge stone plaque under the dragon head and on the city gate, with five big characters on the Oriental Green Dragon Gate.
However, unlike the walls of the Imperial towns on other continents, there are no guards at the Blue Dragon Gate. Wei Da took Ding Qin and He Yan to enter directly from the main entrance, without any obstacles.
Inside the walls were neatly built buildings. Except for the central area, the architectural style of the rest of the building is uniform, all of which are three-storey buildings, and each of the four buildings forms a small courtyard. The people who come and go here are no different from ordinary people, but they all wear uniform clothes.
There are five sub-altars in the Oriental Green Dragon Gate, which are the Altar of Benevolence, the Altar of Righteousness, the Altar of Rites, the Altar of Wisdom, and the Altar of Letters. This is different from the sect where Ding Qin was before, it is not that each altar is an independent courtyard, but except for the relevant leaders of each altar who live in the high-rise area of the central area, the disciples of other altars are mixed in the periphery.
Before returning, Veda had already informed the head of the Blue Dragon Sect. After entering the Qinglong Gate, it was still early, and he directly took Ding Qin and He Yan to the central high-rise area. There were two guards there, and when they saw Wei Da, they saluted respectfully, as for the origin of Ding Qin and He Yan, including bringing a demonic beast, they didn't ask at all.
In the center of the central area is the main hall of the Oriental Green Dragon Gate. It's a three-storey building that feels like a royal palace. Entering from the main entrance, the main hall on the first floor is the meeting hall of the Oriental Qinglong Gate.
At this time, the head of the family and relevant dignitaries were all present, and it seemed that they were waiting for Veda.
Veda entered the hall, walked to the center position, and bowed to the top master, "Master, I'm back." ”
The head of the Qinglong Sect must be over seventy years old, with white hair and hair, but his face is ruddy and his eyes are shining. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was also very loud, and his momentum was definitely not inferior to that of the kings of Xuantian and Xingyao. "Well, we've all received the message you sent earlier. This trip took several months, and it was also hard work. ”
Veda did not show the slightest modesty, "This search is the most difficult I have found in recent years. The Moonlight Gang, which is subordinate to the Southern Suzaku Gate, also promised an envoy from the Southern Suzaku Gate that after we found out, they would submit a written resignation to the Suzaku Gate to explain the matter. Please also bother the head. ”
The head of the Qinglong Sect said, "This matter should be." I've already sent someone to deal with it, just wait for you to come back, and after reading the resignation letter, you can send it to Suzaku Gate. ”
"That's good. ”
Without waiting for Wei Da to introduce, the head of the Qinglong Sect turned his gaze to Ding Qin and He Yan, "This is what you said, the two people from the Xuanling Continent?"
Wei Da turned to Ding Qin and He Yan, "That's right. The man's name is Ding Qin, and the woman's name is He Yan. The two of them are also the meritorious men of our search for people this time, and they should have been rewarded. However, the two of them did not care about money, and only wanted to find their father, but I knew very little about the information they said, so I promised them to bring them back to the door to see if our intelligence system could provide some information for them. ”
The head of the Qinglong Sect said, "It should, it should." We do not owe favors to others. It's just that, as far as I know, the Xuanling Continent is one of the lowest-level continents, and there shouldn't be a way to get to the Lingyin Continent. How did you two get here?"
After listening to this, Ding Qin stepped forward and said, "Go back to the master." A few years ago, the royal family of the Xuantian Empire of the Xuanling Continent obtained an incomplete map with a mark from the Xuanling Continent to Chiyan Mountain. So, four years ago, my father Ding Shouyi, was ordered by the royal family to go to sea according to the route. ”
He paused, "But for four years, he hasn't heard from him, and he hasn't returned." A year ago, I started looking for my father, and I happened to enter the tomb of the Lingyin Emperor of the Xuantian Empire, got the key, and opened the room, where there was an ancient map indicating the location of Chiyan Mountain. It was according to this diagram that I came to the Lingyin Continent to find my father. ”
The head of the Qinglong Sect nodded slightly when he heard this, "Well, I see." It's just that I haven't heard of the Chiyan Mountain you are talking about. ”
Ding Qin said, "On the way here, Inspector Wei also explained to me. When I got here, I was in a tribe and learned that my father had indeed been here. As for where he went, there has been no clear clue. According to the plan, he should be looking for Chen Lizong. ”
"Chen Lizong?" The head of the Qinglong Sect looked at everyone in the seat, and actually shook his head, "I have no impression. Where did you hear that?"
Ding Qin said, "This is shown on the picture. In the location of the Lingyin Continent, only Chiyan Mountain is marked, that is, the Chenli Sect. ”
The head of the Qinglong Sect said, "Could it be that this is the sect that once unified the Lingyin Continent in the legend?" However, the Lingyin Continent has always been called the Lingyin Continent, and it has never had the name of Chiyan Mountain. ”
Ding Qin said, "This is exactly what we are wondering about. I also hope that the head can support one or two. ”
The head of the Qinglong Sect said, "You can rest assured of this." I will immediately send someone to search for news about Chiyan Mountain and Chen Lizong. In addition, the two of you are young, and you must have suffered a lot when you crossed the ocean here. ”
Ding Qin could hear that the implication of the head of the Qinglong Sect was that he wanted to find out about the cultivation of the two people. Without waiting for him to speak, Veda said, "Master, I was about to report this to the master. Although Ding Qin is young, less than twenty years old, his current cultivation has reached the eighth level of the second order of spiritual power. And He Yan is also the seventh layer of the first order of spiritual power. ”
When he said this, the whole audience was full of amazement. There are a few elderly ones, in particular, who have already stood up.
The head of the Qinglong Sect also stood up from his seat and walked directly in front of Ding Qin, "You are now cultivating to the second order and eighth layer?"
Ding Qin nodded, "That's right." Actually, some time ago, I was only the second and third layers. But in the Moonlight Gang, he met a senior who passed on his skills, and his spiritual power reached the eighth layer of the second order. ”
The head of the Qinglong Sect said, "No, this has nothing to do with whether or not to pass on the gong. The strength of the meridians at the age of twenty or so, theoretically, it is not easy to withstand the pressure of the second and first levels of spiritual power. If you break through the second order of spiritual power at the age of twenty, you can already be regarded as one in a thousand. You have actually reached the second order and eighth level, which is a level that many people admire. ”
He paused for a moment and then said, "If it is an ordinary spiritual cultivator, I am afraid that it will not be able to break through to the second order at the end of the year. The qualifications are slightly better, and only when you are fifty or sixty years old can you break through the fifth layer of the second order of spiritual power. And those with excellent qualifications have to reach the second order and eighth level of spiritual power, I am afraid that they will have to be about fifty years old. Like you, you can only be judged by genius. ”
