Volume 5: The First Song Three Hundred: The Gathering of Gentlemen
The night talk of the five people ended before midnight, after all, it was in the sect, and it was a bit unorthodox for the five young men and women to spend the night together, so at Tang Ping's suggestion, everyone left Qian Chao's residence one after another, of course, Lu Pingchuan was too lazy to go back so late, so he slept at Qian Chao's residence.
Before leaving, Yan Xuan suddenly remembered something, and after hurriedly calling Qian Chao, he took out two small jade bottles from his body very carefully, handed them over to Qian Chao's hands very carefully, and said:
"Brother Qian, let's deal with Wen Liang this time, this is what Brother Lu found and brought to me from those scattered storage bags afterwards, I didn't know what it was at first, I didn't know what it was at first, I only knew after consulting a few senior brothers and sisters in Qixia Mountain, it turned out that they were all rare spirit grass seeds, what was in this bottle was a seed of Dianxian grass, and what was in this bottle was two seeds of Angelica Angelica the Seven Sons, which were very rare and rare, of course it was possible to plant them in the medicine garden of my master's cave, but I don't know when it would grow up, so it was better to ......"
Qian Chao stretched out his hand to take the two small bottles and said:
"Leave it to me, but since there are so few seeds, it's better not to start taking the spirit grass, but continue to let it bloom and bear fruit, and when the number of seeds is more, let's take the spirit grass, how about it?"
"It's for the best."
Curly vine flower, Jiangxian grass, secluded lotus, Qizi Angelica and Ruilian grass, this is the main spiritual grass of the five flavors of refining Zhuji Dan, among them, the curly vine flower was obtained when the five people went out for the first time in the third layer of Qi refining, and the Ruilian grass was also found by five people when they were adventuring in Pipa Ridge from a large scorpion group called "Secluded Tiger", and now they have found the seeds of Jiangxian grass and Qizi Baizhi, with the help of Qian Chao's formation that can accelerate the growth of the spirit grass, it won't take long for Yan Xuan to collect a lot of these two precious spirit grasses, In this way, refining the Zhuji Dan will only lack a Hidden Land Lotus.
"Sister Yan, aren't there other spirit grass seeds? Give it all to him! Tang Ping suddenly said on the side.
I don't know why, Yan Xuan was a little embarrassed and even a little twisted, Tang Ping was a little angry when he saw it, stretched out his hand and asked for a small wooden box from Yan Xuan, and then pulled Qian Chao's wrist and slapped the wooden box in Qian Chao's hand.
"Qian boy, these are all the spiritual grass seeds for refining Zhuyan Dan and Yangrong Dan, hurry up and plant them all, Sister Yan wants to use alchemy, I don't want to become a yellow-faced old woman in the future!"
……
In the days that followed, the five of them stayed in the sect and sometimes practiced together.
Just before the five of them were about to go out again, Tang Ping suddenly came to look for Qian Chao.
"Hey, boy Qian, someone from the sect will arrive tomorrow, let's go to Tianshui Lake to have a look?"
Qian Chao's mind was still on the page on the desk, so he asked casually:
"Who's coming?"
"Of course, it's Lion Forest, Meng Cailou, and the people of the four sects."
"Oh, is it so soon?" Qian Chao remembered what Tang Ping said a few nights ago.
"Not all of them have arrived, only the people from Lion Forest and Meng Cailou will arrive tomorrow, they are close, so they arrive early, and the Nine Immortals and the Sky Cliff are far away, and their people will have to arrive for a while."
"What's so nice about that, it's just some Qi refining disciples of other sects." Qian Chao said, and looked at the pages on the desk again.
Tang Ping was so angry that she stretched out her hand to cover Qian Chao's book and said:
"Don't you want to think about it, when the time comes, it will also be the qi refining disciples in the sect who will challenge them, who knows who those old guys in the council hall want to let stay in our sect, you and I are still the head of the qi refining disciples, maybe you will be allowed to go on the stage to compete when the time comes, in case you lose, in front of everyone's eyes, is it a shame?"
Qian Chao raised his eyes and smiled slightly, and said:
"Identity is identity, after all, the five of us are mid-level cultivators in Qi refining, it is impossible for us to take our turn, what about so many senior brothers and sisters in the sect with clever means, how could the elders of the council hall pick us on the stage, unless they are unwilling to keep them."
"Who said it was impossible...... Hey, are you going or not? ”
"Go, go, there's a lot of excitement to see why not go." Qian Chao said helplessly.
……
On the second day, in the morning, Tianshui Lake.
When the money tide arrived, the lake was already crowded with people, just like when Yanshuang entered the Five Spirits Sect before, many of the Five Spirits disciples didn't know why these disciples of Lion Forest and Meng Cailou came to the Five Spirits Sect, they just thought that those people also came to grab the rare opportunity to apprentice, and they complained one after another while squeezing the lake.
"Hey, Brother Qian is here, Brother Qian! This way, this way! ”
Just as Qian Chao raised his eyes to look for a few of his partners, a thick voice shouted, it was Lu Pingchuan's voice, he followed the sound and looked over, and saw Lu Pingchuan, Li Jian, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, who had already gathered together, coincidentally, the location of the four of them was actually the same position where Yan Shuang entered the Five Spirits Sect last time.
After Qian Chao walked over, he said:
"How do you feel that the sect doesn't attach much importance to the people from Lion Forest and Meng Cailou, looking at the scene, it is a lot more than the last time Senior Sister Yanshuang entered the Five Spirits Sect."
Indeed, as Qian Chao said, there are now a lot of Five Spirit disciples watching near the small pier by the Tianshui Lake, but there are not many elders in the sect who stand on the dock to greet those people, compared to the last time when there were many elders in the sect who were waiting in solemn and luxurious clothes near the dock, although there were also elders in the sect waiting on the dock this time, but the number of people was much worse, only a dozen, and those people were still gossiping casually while waiting.
"How can they compare with Senior Sister Yanshuang," Tang Ping said, "Senior Sister Yanshuang came to conclude an alliance with the Five Spirits Sect on behalf of the Nine Spirits Sect at that time, that was the first time that our Five Spirits Sect formed an alliance with other major sects, and the sect naturally attached importance to it, now, those two sects are here to express their submission, and the sect can send some elders to come over to greet them politely, but when the people of the Nine Immortals arrive in a few days, it is estimated that the specifications to greet them will be more grand, after all, it is an alliance relationship." ”
彦煊 says:
"I really don't know what kind of people are coming, and what kind of means they have."
Lu Pingchuan said with a smile:
"Well, I'd rather have a fight with the boys from those other sects and see what their methods are?"
唐萍 says:
"They are all Qi refining disciples, and their cultivation is there, even if they are clever in their means, where can they be smart? It's just that the disciples of the outer sects, there may be some methods that we haven't seen, but they are nothing more than a novelty, just to say how powerful they are. ”
Qian Chao suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Wen Liang was on the day when Yan Shuang entered the Five Spirits Sect, and it was also on the edge of the Tianshui Lake, unconsciously, time has passed I don't know how long, and too many things have happened in the middle, thinking of this, his heart moved, and he looked around, but after looking around a few times, there was a crowd of black pressure as far as he could see, thinking that Yan Jing was dead and Wen Liang trapped himself in the cold pool, it was naturally impossible to see the back of the gray-haired man here again, However, Qian Chao felt that the next time he saw Wen Liang again, he was afraid that it would be time to catch him and hand it over to the sect to discuss the guilt.
"It's coming, it's coming."
As many onlookers of the Five Spirits disciples clamored one after another, sure enough, in the meandering river channel of Tianshui Lake, two boats went upriver and appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The two boats were not big, and there was neither the sound of drums nor the lively fluttering of colorful flags on the boat, Tang Ping squinted his eyes and looked at the boat that had been in front of his right hand for a moment and said:
"Oh, the boat in front is from the Lion Forest, look at the flag hanging on its bow, it is painted with a lion's head, that is their mark, and the boat behind must be Meng Cailou's people."
Indeed, as Tang Ping said, a big flag was displayed on the mast of the bow of the ship in front, which was embroidered with a hideous roaring lion, and the bow of Meng Cailou behind was hung with a flower flag, and the flag was actually full of flowers, thinking that this should be Meng Cailou's mark. Because the two ships sailed into the Five Spirits Sect, there were people from these two sects who were already standing on the boats, and when they saw the elders of the Five Spirits Sect waiting on the dock, they began to bow their hands from a distance.
The boat of the Lion Forest docked first, and the first person to walk down should be the person with the identity in the Lion Forest, and after getting off the boat, he saluted and greeted the elders of the Five Spirits Sect who were waiting on the dock one by one, and then walked down from the boat Many young disciples, about a dozen people, after getting off the boat, under the leadership of the Lion Forest Elders, they saluted to the elders of the Five Spirits Sect, among which the most eye-catching and the most noticeable of the five people of Qian Chao were three people, the first one was a woman, with a long and slender figure, When she got off the boat, she was still wearing a purple gold silk embroidered edge, and she didn't even take off her hood, covering her face, and before saluting, she took off her hood and scattered it behind her head, which was actually a beautiful woman with hair like a waterfall and skin better than snow, which attracted the admiration of the disciples of the Five Spirits Sect who were watching, and this goddess has been quiet and indifferent, and after saluting, she stood upright, completely ignoring the noise of the surrounding Five Spirit disciples; The second is a tall young man, dressed in a luxurious green shirt, and holding a delicate folding fan in his hand, although this person looks good, and is a little handsome, but there is always a floating wave between the walks, which makes people dislike, especially when this person gets off the boat, he sees the situation on the small pier, obviously a little displeased, somehow; The third is a young man who is obviously short, well, from the point of view of his stature, this person is half a head shorter than Qian Chao, and his appearance is ordinary, and the reason why it attracted the attention of Qian Chao is this person's eyes, not that this person's eyes are sharp, but this person's two eyes have been shining around since he got out of the cabin, and after getting off the boat and saluting, his head kept turning around and looking.
Immediately after the boat of the Lion Forest sailed away from the dock, the people on Meng Cailou's boat also disembarked in turn after the boat docked.
The people who still looked like elders got off the boat first to salute and greet each other, and at the same time, the people on the boat stepped on this small pier one after another.
Meng Cailou's disciples are also about a dozen, well, it is a coincidence, there are also three of these dozen people who have attracted Qian Chao and the five people to take a few more looks.
The first one was a slightly darkened man, dressed in a navy blue robe, with a sturdy figure, and it was noticeable that this person had a look of disdain since he walked out of the cabin, especially when he stood on the boat and glanced at the black and oppressive Five Spirit disciples on the shore, that disdain was even more prominent; The second is a young man dressed in white, with a slender figure, a free gait, a white face on the eyebrows, eyes and facial features as if they have been carefully carved to look different and exquisite, the black hair is pinned with a hosta, if you don't look closely, people only think that he is a woman in men's clothes, and he is a beauty, but in fact he is a beautiful man in the wind, this person has been very calm since he appeared, and he seems not to be in a hurry, so Tang Ping couldn't help but say "What a beautiful man" while staring at each other, and Lu Pingchuan said"How is it a little white face"; The third is also a woman, this woman is slim, when she walked out of the cabin, she was wearing a red big embroidered group of flowers, she did not wear a hood, the cloud-like hair was curled into a bun, pinned with a gorgeous hairpin, and the dignified demeanor when walking was even more ring-wearing, this woman is also a beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth, but it is different from the woman in the lion forest who is dressed in a purple coat, the thin eyebrows of the lion forest, the small jasper is as tranquil and quiet, and this Meng Cailou's beauty has phoenix eyes, peach cheeks and red lips, is more graceful and luxurious, which is not only the difference between the two daughters in clothing, but also in appearance and temperament.
At this time, many Five Spirit disciples who knew the inside story began to discuss, saying that it didn't matter if those men stayed or not, but those two beauties must stay in the Five Spirit Sect.
Well, here is one more thing, the reason why these six people can attract the attention of the five people of Qian Chao is that these people don't look at each other's luxurious clothes or extraordinary temperament, but they all came to the Five Spirits Sect to accept the challenge, if they are matched by the Five Spirits Sect, of course, they are not themselves, but the elders behind them, then the Five Spirits Sect will definitely find a way to keep them, which is equivalent to becoming hostages in disguise. There are a total of nearly thirty disciples of the two sects who walked off the boat, no matter how invincible these people are in their respective sects, but now that they are here, they are naturally a little shorter in momentum, and even when they walked out of the cabin and saw the magnificent scene of the Five Spirits Sect and the scene of the sea of people by the lake, some people had solemn faces, some people had sad faces, and some people even looked afraid, and only the six people who were noticed by the five people of Qian Chao, regardless of their expressions, At least he was at ease with all this in front of him, even if the diminutive young man had been restless all the time, he seemed to be only curious, but not half afraid.
At least it can be shown that if these six are not accustomed to seeing big scenes, they must be people with a city government, or both.
This not too grand but very lively welcoming ceremony was almost over, and the elders in charge of the reception in the sect should lead these people out of the dock to meet the other elders in the sect, and in this process, Qian Chao noticed something unusual, there were actually a few young Qi refining disciples in the sect who not only came over, but also were very familiar with chatting and chatting with several disciples of the Lion Forest and Meng Cailou, looking at their appearance, they almost didn't take those Jiedan seniors present in their eyes at all.
And the people who talked to these Five Spirit disciples were actually the six people who had been concerned by the five people of Qian Chao before!
When the disciples of different major sects met, they were like old friends who had not seen each other for many faces, talking and laughing, and even the quiet woman with a purple color had a shallow smile on her face.
This is a bit extraordinary.
Qian Chao asked curiously:
"Who are those people? I mean those disciples in the sect. ”
Of course, it was Tang Ping who asked, she also saw what happened there, sighed softly, and said:
"Do you remember when I once said that in front of Lin Jian, my identity is not a matter of being a member of the sect at all?"
"yes, yes."
"Lin Jian is in front of those people, it is estimated that he doesn't even dare to speak loudly, he can only lower his eyebrows and obey his eyes, those people are the real gentlemen of our Five Spirits Sect, and they can talk with them very happily, I think those people must be the real people in the Lion Forest and Meng Cailou!"
"Oh?" Tang Ping said this, Qian Chao became even more curious, after all, he didn't know much about the so-called scumbags in these sects, so he asked, "Who are those people?" ”
"Zong Yan, Huan Chan, Feng You, Zhang Yi, Jing Wei," Tang Ping looked over there and said a few names, and then motioned to a few partners to look at the tallest and thinnest young man in the middle, "The tallest one is Zong Yan, his grandfather and father are both on the Jade Pot Mountain, and his mother is also close to breaking through the Yuan Baby, it is said that she is in a long retreat, and people say that when Zong Yan's mother breaks through the pass, our Five Spirits Sect will almost have another powerful monk at the Yuan Infant level, according to this background, Zong Fang is supposed to be cultivated to benefit the gods quickly, and his qualifications are said to be good, but in fact, Zong Fang is a somewhat floating and idle person, who is idle on weekdays, but he is unwilling to work hard in cultivation, and messes around with those people all day long, of course, those people are also all extraordinary, although they are weaker than Zong Fang, but none of their backgrounds in the sect are inferior to Lin Jian, and they are all ordinary disciples who dare not provoke, of course, those people are completely different from Bai Lin, they are too lazy to interact with ordinary disciplesThey only associate with people of similar status, which is why it is rare to hear about what they have done. ”
"It's just a bunch of young master lambs!" Lu Pingchuan said indifferently.
"It's not that ......simple," Tang Ping said.
And Qian Chao stared at the top gentlemen in the sect thoughtfully.
