Chapter 42: Paradise
The farther south you go, the colder the weather becomes, and the population gradually thins out, but the residents become more and more courageous when you occasionally pass through villages and towns, and everyone practices internal skills to withstand the cold.
In such a place, the amount of clothing shows the depth of its cultivation.
Those who are advanced in martial arts are more resistant to the cold and wear less, while those with low martial skills, such as children, have all put on cotton clothes.
Ke Mingde came to a village and town dressed in a single suit, and stood out like a flock, and everyone dared not commit it.
This town is adjacent to the Five Thunder Mountain, where the disciples of the Five Thunder Sect often buy food, clothing and other items.
In this town, the tax burden is handed over to the Five Thunder Faction, which is a famous and righteous family, cherishes feathers, shakes the thin endowment, and the residents of the town live very richly, living and working in peace and contentment.
Ke Mingde found a wine shop, Xiao Er warmed the coke bare, and served it to him.
Burnt wheat is the staple food of this place, extremely cold-tolerant, short growth cycle, can grow two seasons a year, because of the color of the charred black, so it gets its name.
"How far is it from here to the Five Thunder Sect?"
"Three miles to the south is Wulei Mountain, there is a glazed tile archway, is the mountain gate, walk along the mountain road, turn over two mountains, there is a valley, the four seasons are like spring. ”
"The Five Thunder Sect is in the valley, but it is guarded, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. ”
After inquiring about the route, Ke Mingde ate a bowl of burnt wheat rice, tasted some special foods, scanned some seeds, and enriched the database. Finally, the long-haired pony is deposited at a wine shop and hiked into the mountains.
It's cold in the mountains, and from halfway up the mountain, it's snowy, and many squirrels run around the mountain trails, looking for food, and from time to time there are wolf moans, which makes people feel creepy.
The mountain road has been repaired, and there are stone steps in some places, but there are still many difficult obstacles, and there are even cliffs and wide streams three or four meters high, which are very difficult to walk and very passable.
Two-thirds of these mountains are covered in snow and ice, making it bitterly cold.
"It's no wonder that the Five Thunder Sect can become a famous sect, living in such a difficult place and going through all kinds of hardships, it's really amazing!"
Ke Mingde sighed that Nursery was bouncing in front of him, with a round body, but extremely flexible.
Pandas dyed black run through the snow and ice, and from time to time climb the treetops and pull out a nest of pine nuts.
"Whew~"
The treetops were crushed by it, and Thor Gurt fell with a scream.
Ke Mingde smiled, didn't care at all, shook his head, didn't care about it, and walked forward on his own.
The red panda was born in the divine power, born extraordinary, except for mastering a small space, there is nothing special, only a body of flesh, rough skin and thick flesh, and the defense power is close to dragon skin.
Nursery seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances, humming and chirping, full of grievances.
"I take back what I just said......"
Ke Mingde suddenly stopped, looking shocked.
Behind this mountain, there is a huge valley where flowers bloom and bees and butterflies fly, warm as spring.
“...... The Five Thunder Sect settled here to enjoy it!"
Ke Mingde was in good spirits, put the nursery on his shoulders, and lightly toe, like a butterfly wearing flowers, passed through various dangerous places, and took a shortcut to the valley.
"Who?"
The valley is shaped like a gourd, and the mouth of the valley is guarded to stop Ke Mingde.
"In Xia Ke Mingde, entrusted by Lei Wanchun's predecessors, his relics were returned. ”
Before arriving, Ke Mingde had already dressed up in disguise, took out a baggage, carried it on his back, and put on the dragon skin inner armor in it in case of accidents.
"What?" the guard was startled: "You wait a moment, I'll go and report to the master!"
After a moment's silence, the guard returned with a stern-faced old man.
"Your name is Ke Mingde, a native of Jianyang City, and you were still in the Qi Sea Realm two months ago?"
"It's down there. Ke Mingde clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen the master!"
There are some doubts in my heart, although this old man is powerful, he is only a true qi cultivator, and he is not worthy of the identity of the head of the Five Thunder Sect.
"I'm not in charge. The old man waved his hand: "I am Lei Wanchun's senior brother, He Wannian." ”
"I heard that you are accustomed to using swords in Jianyang City, why don't you carry a sword instead?"
Ke Mingde knew that this was verifying his identity: "I killed the demon with Lei Daxia, but unfortunately I was plotted, Lei Daxia and two disciples were killed, and I was also wanted by Wei Guo, so I had to cut off my beard and abandon my sword." ”
"You come with me, the head of the sect and all the senior brothers are already waiting in the Zhengyang Palace. ”
He Wannian turned back into the valley and motioned for him to follow.
As soon as you enter the valley, the warmth comes to your face, and the ancient vines hang down from the mountain wall, blooming small purple flowers, attracting countless bees and butterflies.
Patches of irregularly shaped vegetable fields, scattered, overgrown with vegetables and fruits.
A stream flows down the mountain wall, and the water from the melting snow and ice on the top of the mountain merges into a small pond filled with lotus flowers.
The small pool is connected to a deep pool, the water is warm, emitting a trace of heat, and white smoke is emitted.
The four walls of the valley are rocky, and caves have been carved out to make them dwellings.
Xanadu!
"This terrain ...... Good students are familiar with ......"
Ke Mingde felt a little confused, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"This is the Zhengyang Palace, the head is inside!"
He Wannian tidied up his robe and stepped into the stone hall.
Zhengyang Hall is also a grotto excavated on the mountain rock, square, deep and wide, very majestic.
Five meters at the entrance of the main hall, a stone platform is erected, a silver mirror is enshrined on the stone platform, the size of a silver mirror plate, the mirror surface is bright, and the sunlight is reflected into the Zhengyang Palace.
Ke Mingde stepped into the stone hall, and the cave that should have been dark and gloomy was bright, and there was no candle flame on the wall.
It is the mirror that illuminates the entire Zhengyang Temple.
"It's amazing!"
Ke Mingde looked at his feet, and there was no shadow.
"I've seen the boss!"
There are five people sitting in the main hall, all of them are true qi cultivators, the first one is the first person, the breath is like the abyss and the sea, and he is a congenital powerhouse.
"Ke Shaoxia, please take a seat" The head was polite: "How did Senior Brother Lei die, please Ke Shaoxia will tell us in detail." ”
"Under the innate yin and yang eyes, Lei senior...... In order to avoid tracking, I wrapped the Four Hours of Providence in gold to avoid people's eyes. ”
Ke Mingde said, holding the golden mace in both hands and signaling.
The head suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it, and the golden gong suddenly flew up from his hand and fell into the hands of the master.
Ke Mingde looked surprised, he relied on spells, and he could manipulate items in the air, but using true qi to do this, it was simply carving on the tip of a needle and embroidering with an iron rod.
"It is indeed the will of heaven!" The head flicked his fingers, stretched out an inch of his nails, grabbed the gold, drew a few grooves, and grabbed some of the gold, revealing the silver body inside, as well as the inscription.
"Shaoxia Gaoyi, not far away, send back the treasure of my Five Thunder Sect inheritance, the old man Minggan Five, I don't know what the Young Hero wants, my Five Thunder Sect has done everything, and I have to repay it. ”
The head stroked his fluttering white beard and asked Ke Mingde.
"Since I promised Senior Lei, I should fulfill my promise and not want to reciprocate. Ke Mingde was impassioned: "It's just that I have admired the Five Thunder Sect for a long time, and I want to worship the Five Thunder Sect as a disciple, and Lei Daxia has also promised to introduce me to the Lower Sect, but it's a pity that ......."
"Never!"
Before the head of the house could answer, an elder suddenly shouted:
"Master, absolutely not, not to mention the cause of the death of Senior Brother Lei, there are still doubts, and I can't listen to all the words; besides, my Five Thunder Sect wants to only recruit disciples under the age of twelve, and his martial arts have been finalized, how can I worship my Five Thunder Sect. ”
"That's good!" an elder echoed: "Since he escorted the Providence of Heaven for thousands of miles, we simply taught him the Four Elephants of Providence, which is enough to repay the kindness." ”
The elder turned his head and faced Ke Mingde: "The Four Elephants of Heaven's Will, it is a simultaneous interpretation of the Four Seasons of Heaven's Will, which directly refers to heaven and man, which is rare in the world, are you willing to learn?"
The world's martial arts, there are upper, middle, and lower three vehicles, corresponding to the line of qi, the sea of qi, and the true qi, involving the congenital, that is, the secret book of divine skills, "Ghost Driving Divine Skill", is this level, can practice to the initial realm of human immortals, the realm of heaven and man, Ke Mingde has only seen one, that is, Suojia's "Chongyang Secret Book".
Ke Mingde was a little moved, but he still refused: "In the next heart, I am willing to worship in the Five Thunder Sect, concentrate on cultivation, kill demons and demons, and please head Mingjian!"
Ke Mingde is not lacking in divine skills, but the way of martial arts is broad and profound, relying only on martial arts cheats, behind closed doors, how difficult it is, and it still needs to be led by a mentor and passed on by word of mouth.
