Chapter 450: Trapped
The speed of Gu Xuan's streamer was really fast, and after answering all of Xing Shuchen's doubts, the two of them were about to arrive at the destination of this trip, Yancheng.
It was already night when they set off, and it was even more late at night when they arrived here, but Xing Shuchen's mental state was still very good, not at all like the way he had just fought during the day.
Indeed, he continued to comprehend today, and when he went back, he improved what he comprehended, and his current mental state is simply amazing.
At this moment, on the edge of the sky ahead, Xing Shuchen vaguely saw the corner of a city. You can see the city from such a distance, which shows how big the city is:
He saw the city, Gu Xuan naturally saw it too, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the city in the distance: "The front is Yancheng, Ying Cang is also in the city, I will take you to see him in a while." ”
"Oh, Lord Ying Cangshan is also in the city?" Xing Shuchen said in surprise, and then he was relieved. Also, the master said before that he would come to see the Lord of Ying Cangshan, if the Lord of Ying Cangshan was not there, then who would he see.
In the middle of these few words, they were already close to Yancheng, and what was still in the sky just now had come to their eyes, enough to see how fast the speed of the streamer was.
Sure enough, as Xing Shuchen thought, this was a very large city, even bigger than he imagined. And the lights are bright, and there is no feeling of late night at all.
To be honest, this Yancheng was really different from what Xing Shuchen imagined, he originally thought that this was a dilapidated and desolate small city, even if it was not a small city, at least it would not be very prosperous.
But he never imagined that this Yan City would be such a majestic and magnificent giant city.
"Don't be surprised, Yancheng is originally a heavy city, and there is a secret realm like the Extreme Fire Realm that will be opened from time to time, so it's hard to think about it. And because of the Extreme Fire Realm, this city is also known as the paradise of the monks of the Rising Enlightenment. ”
"And there is such a saying, amazing. Xing Shuchen exclaimed.
As he spoke, Gu Xuan stepped on the streamer and fell. Below, there was a team of hundreds of people waiting, as if they had known that Gu Xuan was coming. And the person who is the leader is Ying Cang.
"Hahaha, old man Gu Xuan, you're finally here. Yo, kill the dust, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you've grown so tall, not bad. ”
Seeing Gu Xuan and Xing Shuchen coming, Ying Cang was very happy, although Xing Shuchen didn't know why he was so happy.
Gu Xuan fell, looked at the crowd in front of him, and asked Ying Cang, "Why are there so many people?"
Ying Cangyan also glanced back when he heard this: "It's okay, these people won't reveal the news, and tomorrow the outside world will only say that you have been here alone." ”
"Okay, you just need to take care of it anyway. Gu Xuan nodded.
When the two of them said this, Xing Zhuchen didn't understand it, what does it mean that tomorrow will only pass on the master to come alone? Am I not a human being?
However, Ying Cang did not continue to explain, but said to them:
"Come on, let me introduce you, this is ......"
So Xing Shuchen followed the Lord of Ying Cangshan one by one in such a daze.
After Ying Cang, it must be Ying Qiong Yingli, and after that is the city lord of this Yan City, Yan Cheng is a heavy city, and the city master is naturally not weak, and he has the realm of entering the room, but in front of Gu Xuan, he can't help but tremble a little.
I don't remember who Xing Jichen was after that, and all I thought about was what Lord Ying Cangshan had just said: "Tomorrow will only say that you have come alone." ”
And in the crowd, he didn't see Xiao Lin and Emperor Caitong, which made him even more surprised. The two of them set off in the morning, and it is impossible that they have not come by now.
He was brought by the master, and the two of them must have been escorted, even if they were not as fast as the master, there was no reason why they hadn't arrived all day.
So based on all this, Xing Shuchen told himself that there must be something wrong here.
Things are as Xing Jichen expected, there is indeed a problem here, and the problem is still very big.
When Ying Cang introduced those people to Gu Xuan Xing Shuchen one by one, someone came over and took Xing Shuchen away, it was Ying Qiong, the great elder of Penglai.
Seeing him come and take him away, and the master didn't make a sound as if he hadn't seen it, Xing Shuchen didn't make a noise, and obediently followed him.
He was taken to a room by Ying Qiong, and then he hurried away, as if he didn't want to stay longer.
And there, he saw Xiao Lin and Emperor Caitong. When he saw the two of them, the two of them were wearing clothes of similar styles, which made Xing Shuchen always feel like he had seen them somewhere.
"Your retreat is over, so soon?" Seeing Xing Shuchen, Xiao Lin was the first to ask him.
"Hmm. Xing Shuchen nodded and looked at the two of them: "What are you guys...... What's the situation?"
At the mention of this, a helpless expression appeared on the faces of the two of them:
"You better wait for Lord Ying Cangshan to come, let him tell you. We were cheated by the master. Xiao Lin said.
"Got cheated by the master?" Xing Shuchen obviously didn't understand very much: "Why didn't you come here to cultivate, how did you get trapped?"
"Well, it's cultivation, but that's only one of the purposes, there is another purpose. Xiao Lin said.
"For what purpose?"
"You haven't thought about it, there are so many disciples of the Dao Sect, and the Nine Lights of the Gradual Ming are also a handful, why did you send the three of us first? Just because we are personal disciples?"
"Uh......" Xing Killchen said.
To be honest, he also felt that the explanation given to him by the master when he came, and sent them to take the lead, was a little unconvincing. It's just that he didn't think about it at the time, but now that Xiao Lin mentioned it again, he also felt that something was wrong.
"Then what the hell is going on?" he couldn't think of why, so he had to ask Xiao Lin. And Xiao Lin just waved his hand:
"Forget it, wait for the master and them to come and let them tell you. ”
When he said this, Xing Shuchen could only endure his curiosity and wait. The heart said that it was no wonder that Elder Ying Qiong wanted to run away quickly, because he was afraid of being questioned by him.
He waited for a long time, but he didn't see the master and them coming, Xing Shuchen was a little impatient, so he crossed his legs and prepared to cultivate.
But as soon as he sat down cross-legged, there was finally a sound outside, and then the Lord of Ying Cangshan and the master pushed the door and walked in, and there was a great elder on the side.
This Great Elder is not only talking about the Great Elder of Penglai, but also the Great Elder of their Dao Sect, Song Yun, who should have been the one he sent Xiao Lin and Emperor Caitong over.
At this time, Lord Ying Cangshan looked even happier than just now, and the wrinkles on his face were about to twitch together. As soon as he opened the door and came in, he saw Xing Shuchen and a few people, and seemed to be a little happier, and said:
"Yo, they're all here, didn't you go out for a walk or something?"
None of the three of them answered, Xiao Lin and Emperor Caitong didn't want to answer, and Xing Shuchen was waiting for him to speak.
Regarding the silence of the three of them, Ying Cang didn't seem to mind at all, but said to Xing Shuchen:
"Did the two of them tell you, from now on, you are my Penglai disciples. ”
"What's the matter?!" Xing Shuchen didn't expect the Lord of Ying Cangshan to come up and come back like this, and his eyes were about to pop out in shock, looking at Gu Xuan and the Great Elder beside him.
Gu Xuan nodded helplessly there, while Great Elder Song Yun hurriedly said on the side: "Temporary, temporary!"
"What the hell is going on?!" Xing Shuchen is completely messy now, how can they still become Penglai's disciples, even if it's temporary, it's too scary, right?
He said that why did he look at Xiao Lin and Emperor Caitong's clothes just now, but now that he thinks about it, isn't this the clothing of Penglai's disciples.
Knowing that this news was not easy to accept, Gu Xuan opened his mouth to explain to them:
"That's right, from now on, until the opening of the Extreme Fire Realm, the three of you are temporarily cultivating in this Yancheng as Penglai disciples, and your food and residence are also in the residence of Penglai's disciples. It will not be until the Extreme Fire Realm is about to open that you will resume your Dao Sect status. ”
"This, it's okay for us to be Penglai's disciples, but can I ask why? Master didn't come during the day, and Lord Ying Cangshan also said that he would explain at night, so now you can tell us the reason." After Gu Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Lin asked.
Hearing this question he raised, a trace of dejection appeared on Ying Cang's face, and the same was true of the Great Elder Ying Qiong behind him.
But they all understood that they should let a few of them know why they were doing this, so Ying Cang, after some hesitation, replied:
"You should also know that before the Extreme Fire Realm opened, the various sect families would send the Gradually Enlightened disciples from the sect to this Yan City.
At that time, the disciples of various factions will gather in Yancheng, and they will all belong to the young and vigorous age, and it will be inevitable to compete with each other. ”
Speaking of this, the previous miserable color resurfaced on his face, and it was even more intense than before:
"But I'm Penglai, I don't know what has gone wrong in recent years, and the disciples in the door are a little unacceptable.
In addition to some strong among these old disciples who entered the hall, there were very few masters among the disciples who first knew that they were gradually enlightened, and there were very few masters in the Nine Lights of Gradual Enlightenment. Aside from your Dao Sect, even the White Cloud Sect and even the Four Clans are a little incomparable.
Now that the major sect families are about to gather in this Yancheng, this is still the place of my Penglai, if these disciples lose badly in the competition, then my Penglai will definitely be criticized.
If Penglai loses its reputation in my hands, or goes to weakness, then what kind of face do I have to meet the ancestors of Penglai?"
At this time, the Lord of Ying Cangshan looked like he was dozens of years old, and so was the Great Elder Penglai on the side. And when he said this, he finally raised his head and said firmly:
"So for the sake of my reputation in Penglai, I can only take risks and make this decision. ”
