Chapter 21: The True Face
The night was silent, and the sky was slightly cold.
A flying sword that was more than a foot long flew through the clouds.
Two figures stood on the sword.
Mo Hansheng stood behind Lu Chengfeng, brushing against the gray clouds, and the initial tension had been relieved by half.
The speed of the flying sword was fast, more than several times faster than the speed at which he could run with all his might.
Because of flying at high altitudes, it can ignore the barrier of terrain.
There were few stars in the night sky, the light was dim, and the faces of Lu Chengfeng and Mo Hansheng were covered with a faint shadow.
The two of them didn't say much along the way, and the atmosphere was dull for a while, only the sound of the wind whirring in their ears and the sound of the flying sword cutting through the sky.
Fly until the night fades, the dawn breaks through the clouds, and the gray sky is instantly clear and bright.
"It's here, stand firm." Lu Chengfeng reminded him, and with one hand, he manipulated the flying sword to accelerate and swoop downward.
Mo Hansheng shook from side to side a few times to stabilize his figure, and then he was attracted by the magnificent scenery in the distance.
I saw that under the golden light, a huge pit came into view, like a huge bowl with a diameter of 10,000 zhang.
In the bowl, there are six peaks that are level with the mouth of the bowl, like six heavenly stone chopsticks sticking straight into the bottom of the bowl.
This is Sunset Mountain.
Every dusk, when the sun sets, look at this mountain from a distance, the sunset is like a huge ball of light into a bowl, hence the name of Sunset Mountain.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the founder of the Sunset Sect, Dao Yu, came across a strange mountain when he traveled all over the world.
This mountain bell is beautiful, towering into the clouds, there are many kinds of strange flowers and plants in the mountain, birds, beasts, insects and fish are born early.
Daoyu Zhenren fell in love with this excellent cultivation treasure at a glance, so he cut off the waist of this mountain with great magical powers, and it took many years to hollow out the belly of the mountain, and set up six main peaks of egret, red luan, Qingxia, autumn water, sunset, and purple clouds.
Daoyu Zhenren created the Sunset Sect in the mountains, and since then he has begun to recruit disciples, determined to carry forward the name of the sect.
After a while, the flying sword had descended to a position at the level of a maple leaf forest below, and the palm-shaped maple leaves on the tips rattled.
The flying sword fell to the ground, the blades of grass flew away, and the sand and stones were frightened away.
Mo Hansheng jumped off the flying sword and followed Lu Chengfeng on a quiet path in the forest.
The two walked to a corner, and there was a faint sound of gurgling water not far away.
Take a closer look, a waterfall more than ten zhang wide is flowing straight down.
Under the morning light, more than a dozen crystal clear water dragons poured out from the unattainable peaks one after another, carrying the momentum of the mountains and tsunami straight down.
In an instant, the water dragon crashed against the huge rock below, scattering countless splashes and droplets, and finally merged into a clear stream that stretched slowly into the distance.
Mo Hansheng glanced at it casually, except for the dense maple forest, there was only this majestic and magnificent moat.
Could it be that the mystery is hidden in this waterfall?
Before he could take a closer look, he saw Lu Chengfeng suddenly turn around and hurriedly changed into a blank look.
Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly, put his fingers together, and a bright light flashed out from his body, and quickly flew towards the waterfall.
The black-faced gold-rimmed Sunset Sect token hovered in mid-air in front of the waterfall like this.
Lu Chengfeng pinched the trick with both hands, and the token began to spin in place at high speed.
A fist-thick red light flew out of the token and shot over the water curtain.
A magical scene has happened!
The center of the waterfall seems to be blocked by an invisible force, and the water pouring down from above is separated on both sides, forming an arched passage that is seven or eight feet high.
Immediately afterward, the water level in the stream began to drop visibly, revealing a stone path paved with square stream stones that stretched to the feet of the two men.
"Come with me." Lu Chengfeng greeted and took the lead in walking forward, followed by Mo Hansheng.
The stone path was not long, and it didn't take long for the two of them to reach the arch.
Passing through the archway, there is a deep, dimly lit cave, with little light, very humid air, and water droplets from the top from time to time, knocking on the ground and stone walls.
The further he went, the brighter his vision became, until the moment he walked out of the cave, Mo Hansheng's eyes suddenly opened up, revealing an incomparably vast new world.
Six towering peaks are scattered, ranging from far and near.
The scenery in the mountains has its own characteristics, unique, or ape sounds, or egrets flying, or the sky is full of sunshine, or the clouds are curling.
Mo Hansheng was about to take a closer look, but suddenly felt two cold eyes shining on his body.
At the entrance to the mountain gate, there are two two-foot-high stone piers with futons on them, and two young men dressed in orange and red costumes are meditating cross-legged on them.
The two recognized the person and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Senior Brother Lu." ”
"Hmm." Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng just responded lightly, and raised his feet to take Mo Hansheng inside.
The younger disciple stretched out a hand to stop the two of them, looked at Mo Hansheng, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes: "Senior Brother Lu, this little brother seems to be very strange, I don't know what it is?" ”
Lu Chengfeng frowned and said, "This is a new disciple of my Egret Peak who is about to be admitted to the sect, is there any problem?" ”
The disciple guarding the gate hesitated slightly: "Except for the five-year selection meeting, the disciples recruited by each peak in the gate should be registered by the deacon of this peak before they can enter the mountain, if the junior brother is not mistaken, the person in charge of this matter in Guifeng has always been the white deacon." ”
Lu Chengfeng stroked his long hair, with a proud look: "There are exceptions to everything, Deacon Bai is busy with everything, and I will handle the recruitment on my behalf, and I have already passed the anger with him on this matter." ”
"This ......," the mountain guard disciple looked a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules." ”
"Rules are dead, people are alive." Lu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and was cold, and his attitude was very tough, "You talk to me about the rules, do you want to teach me to do things?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Another slightly older disciple came out to play a round and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Huang is also kind enough to remind me, how dare you embarrass Senior Brother, Senior Brother has invited me." ”
Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away, and Mo Hansheng followed without saying a word.
It wasn't until the two of them walked away that the two mountain guards quietly began to discuss.
"What's the big deal, it's just that he has a good tire, relying on his Lao Tzu's power to be a blessing. Something, phew! ”
"Wait, this age can't build a foundation yet, and this second ancestor won't be arrogant for long."
————
Mo Hansheng followed Lu Chengfeng all the way, and finally came to the foot of Egret Peak, which was in the center of Sunset Mountain.
There was a slightly muffled birdsong on the mountain, and I could faintly see a small wetland not far away, and some large birds with long beaks and curved necks and white feathers like snow gathered in twos and threes.
"Come with me." Lu Chengfeng turned around and smiled kindly at Mo Hansheng, as if he was not in a bad mood because of what happened to Fang Cai.
He did not take Mo Hansheng up the mountain, but walked around the foot of the mountain.
On the back of the peak, a small valley is formed by the extension of the Egret Peak.
The entrance is only two or two zhang wide, but it is a different scenery when you enter the inside.
At the mouth of the valley is planted with a green willow gently blowing in the wind, and a path paved with various cobbles winds its way to the center and then to a bamboo building and a wooden house.
The bamboo building is backed by the mountain wall, the appearance is very elegant, and there is a small pond on the left.
The wooden houses are a bit rudimentary and shabby.
"This is the old man's residence, called Qingfeng Ju." Lu Chengfeng led Mo Hansheng into the bamboo building, and pointed to a bamboo chair at random, "Sit down." ”
Mo Hansheng did not unload his burden, bowed his hand, gently dragged out the bamboo chair, and half-sat on it.
"You don't have to be so restricted, just treat this place as if it were your home." Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly, turned his back, reached out and grabbed the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to him, "Come, drink a glass of water." ”
Mo Hansheng was slightly stunned, and politely refused: "Thank you, Immortal Master, I'm not thirsty now." ”
"I've been flying since yesterday, how can I not be thirsty?" Lu Chengfeng didn't put down the cup, and insisted, "Let's take a sip." ”
"Yes." Mo Hansheng took the water glass, glanced at it cautiously, raised his head and asked, "The Immortal Master said earlier that he was in a hurry to come back and recover his life, and wouldn't it be a waste of time to continue to stay here?" ”
Lu Chengfeng was stunned, and then explained: "I just plan to take you with me and report the matter of human trafficking to the top management along with your entry." It will take a long time to deal with this matter, and I am afraid that there will be no time to drink water by then. ”
When Mo Hansheng heard this, he could only pick up the water cup, and when the corner of his lips was about to touch the mouth of the cup, there was a tingling sensation behind him.
Mo Hansheng's eyes lit up, this was a signal of danger from the stone mountain hidden in the baggage!
He looked up at Lu Chengfeng and tried to say something more: "It's still ......"
"Needless to say, drink!"
