Chapter 40 A Look at the Mountains
"Hello Great Elder!"
In Tang Xiong's introduction, Yang Ning and his son bowed to Cai Mingqian. Whether it is the status or cultivation of this old man, he is worthy of the respect of Yang Ning's father and son.
"Keqing?"
Cai Mingqian looked at Yang Ning with some suspicion and stared at Tang Xiong again.
"Yes. Brother Yang's forging talent is extremely high, he lives in a remote town in the south, and he has never read a single forging classic, but he can forge a semi-magic weapon from ordinary fine iron without a teacher, and it only took more than two years to cultivate from an ordinary mortal to a mortal grade nine perfection, but he is a rare genius. ”
"Hey, that's right. Elder Cai, why are you the only one who came out to pick me up, why don't the others see anyone, what about them? ”
In the face of Cai Mingqian's question, Tang Xiong's evaluation of Yang Ning was very high. However, a long time has passed so far, and only Elder Cai has shown his face, and he has not seen anyone else, so it will be Tang Xiong's turn to be puzzled.
"Well, this ...... There are two elders who are going to teach their disciples; Another elder had just entered the forging room yesterday to forge magic weapons, and he hadn't come out yet; The last elder is your apprentice Zhan Ancheng, you should know why he didn't come out to greet you, right? ”
Hearing Tang Xiong's question, Elder Cai wrenched his fingers and counted the whereabouts of the Outer Gate Elders one by one.
"Hmph. Even so, what about the deacons and the disciples? Why can't you see any of them? ”
Happily returning to the sect, but only one elder came out to greet him, where was his prestige? Especially with his own invitation, Yang Ning, who followed him into the sect for the first time, waited aside, and Tang Xiong seemed to have lost face a little.
As if hearing the meaning of Tang Xiong's words, Cai Mingqian's eyebrows furrowed, and immediately returned to their original state.
"My Great Pavilion Master! Your own temperament, are you still unclear? Think about it, do those little cubs of theirs have the guts to come out and meet you? ”
"Well, this ...... Ha ......"
As for Cai Mingqian's words, Tang Xiong was speechless. Only the unknown Yang Ning father and son looked at him blankly.
"Ahem...... Brother Yang, I'll take you up the mountain to the inner gate. ”
Tang Xiong coughed twice in embarrassment to hide his embarrassment, hurriedly changed the topic, took Yang Ning's arm, and hurriedly walked towards the peak.
Turning left and right around the building on the platform, they came to a wide round arch. There was a small wooden house next to the arch, and when Tang Xiong and the others approached the round arch, a middle-aged man in blue came out of the small wooden house and came forward to bow to Tang Xiong and Cai Mingqian:
"Pavilion Master. Grand Elder Cai. Good! You're going up the mountain, these two friends are together, aren't they? The two of you are a bit of a face, please register first, okay? ”
After the middle-aged man saluted, he glanced at Yang Ning's father and son, who were unimpressed, and said politely. This is also the reason why it is so polite to see Tang Xiong and Cai Mingqian accompanying them, otherwise they would have already roared and scolded at the moment they saw someone.
"Nonsense, of course it's up the mountain, otherwise what are you doing here? I'm here to monitor if you're lazy! Am I idle and bored! ”
"Brother Yang, let you laugh, please don't be surprised. These people in blue are the deacons of the sect; The outer disciples wear white clothes, the inner disciples wear gray, the elite disciples wear brown, the core disciples wear black, and the personal disciples wear gold; As for the elders, there is no requirement, and they can wear whatever they want. This is the door rule, to unify the color of their clothing, so that they can distinguish their identity within the sect. ”
"However, you have to register when you go up the mountain, this is also one of the door rules, and even the pavilion master is no exception, so, Brother Yang, please also register with me before going up the mountain."
Facing the middle-aged deacon's question, Tang Xiong's waist straightened, and a proud momentum emanated, and the majesty of the lord of the first pavilion was undoubted. Even Yang Ning, who was standing on the side, had a feeling that he was beside him.
At this time, Yang Ning understood a little bit of what Cai Mingqian said just now, this guy usually doesn't see anything, but when he really puts money in front of others, it does give people an inexplicably powerful oppressive force.
Fortunately, this momentum was fleeting, although it was not specifically aimed at anyone, at this moment, Yang An, who was a low cultivator, had a flush on his face, and the middle-aged deacon, who was also at the sixth level of mortal grade, was not only a little short of breath, but also a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, I don't know if he was pressed by the momentum? Or frightened?
The corners of Elder Cai's mouth twitched, and he stopped talking. Similar scenes seem to have become commonplace, and I almost can't help but complain.
"Uh, yes, yes, yes. Pavilion Master, this is the registration book, please register with the Pavilion Master, Elder Cai, and these two friends of the Pavilion Master. ”
The middle-aged deacon took out a long notebook from his bosom and put it on the table next to the door of the cabin, and when he bent over, he secretly grabbed the corner of his clothes and wiped the cold sweat on his head.
After registering, a group of four people walked through the round arch and prepared to go up the mountain.
I saw that behind the round arch, along the steep peak, a wide avenue was carved straight to the peak. The whole avenue is made of bluestone as wide as one zhang, paved one step at a time, and there are enough tens of thousands of steps. Like a cyan dragon crawling in the mountains, it rushed into the clouds with its head held high.
Step by step, the temperature in the air is higher, standing on the steps and looking into the distance, from the mountain peaks thousands of feet upward, far or near there are countless caves, like a beehive, each cave has a stream of heat blowing out from it, the whole mountain peak is full of rich fire attribute aura.
After walking for almost half an hour, everyone walked the 10,000 steps. Facing the blowing mountain wind, Yang Ning looked around, and there was a layer of haze in the mountains, blocking the line of sight from afar; Between the fog, countless high and low majestic peaks and mountains loom under the mountain breeze.
Looking down on these peaks from a high place, they all seem to be under their feet, and they are the only supreme one, giving Yang Ning a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.
A sense of pride rose leisurely from the bottom of Yang Ning's heart: since he had set foot in the cultivation realm, he would definitely stand on the top of the mountains like the mountain under his feet.
Behind the steps, hundreds of palace pavilions are scattered in a radius of 100 miles, and there are not only all kinds of heat-resistant plants planted between the palaces, but also small lakes and water pavilions have been opened up in some places, where a large number of swimming fish play happily, and beautiful water lilies also grow in the lake.
On the top of the peak, every breath is inhaled into the body, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Haha...... Brother Yang, this is where the inner gate of the 'Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion' is located, how is it? The environment is not bad, right? Hehe......"
Tang Xiong pointed to the inner gate building at the top of the peak a little ostentatiously, and laughed at Yang Ning.
"Brother Yang, the western part of the inner gate is the lodging territory of the elders of the outer gate; To the north is the accommodation territory of the inner disciples and elite disciples, and to the east is the accommodation of the core disciples, the pro-lineage disciples and the guest qing; As for the south side, it is the domain of the Pavilion Lord and the Inner Gate Elders. Wait a while, I will ask you to take you to stay first, and after staying for ten days, I will hold a ceremony for you to be canonized, and officially become the guest secretary of the 'Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion'. In the meantime, you guys have a good rest. ”
After speaking, Tang Xiong squinted his eyes and took a deep breath of enjoyment, after many years of training outside, he returned to the sect after many years, and the environment of the sect was still so intoxicating.
"Hello, Pavilion Master! You're back. Ha ha...... From this point of view, the task of the pavilion master's training has been completed. ”
"Hello Pavilion Master!"
"Pavilion Master."
Someone must have informed the inner door that Tang Xiong had returned through other means, and the inner door came out to greet them, and the pavilion master was much more enthusiastic than the outer door. When Tang Xiong and the others went up to the peak, it was only time for tea to come, and a team of more than ten people walked out of it, shouting and welcoming them.
Comparing the two completely different situations on the mountain and down the mountain, Yang Ning looked at Grand Elder Cai Mingqian in great surprise, and saw that this old man's face twitched twice with a little ugly, but quickly hid it.
