After a few days of running, the Changshan Gang seemed to have lost interest in such an unrestricted pursuit, and was gradually thrown farther and farther away by the Qingwei faction.

Seeing that there was hope of escaping and ascending to heaven, everyone's difficulties and sorrows in recent days seemed to be much less, so the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

I don't know if it's because of the ring, Yuan Ding's body began to recover, and the time he walked on his own grew day by day.

Master Xiao munched on wild fruits while staring at the map spread out on the stones, and everyone sat around him, waiting for him to give orders.

After a long time, Master Xiao pointed to a certain place in the picture and said, "We are probably in this position, and if we continue to the north, the mountain road will become more and more difficult, but we will pass through the old land of the Shangqing faction." If you go east, you will walk for six or seven days to the North Ross River, and then decide how to go there. What do you think? ”

Everyone gossiped and said: "The head of the house will go as he wants." ”

Xiao Zhangmen said: "This time is different from the past, I want to hear everyone's opinions." ”

The crowd was not restrained, and you and I discussed it word by word, some suggested going north, stopping by to see the old sect, and some suggested going east, and after reaching the North Rus River, take a boat south. But those who went north accounted for the majority, so the head of Xiao decided to obey the majority, and everyone went north, by the way, to pay homage to their hometown.

Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, the people of the Changshan Gang are also difficult to walk.

After about two days of stop-and-go, Master Xiao decided to find a cave or temple to rest for a day before leaving, because the middle of the month arrived.

The mountains in the north are different from those in the south, and the caves are not easy to find, but the temples are easy to find, and it is not difficult to find them on the official road.

In desperation, everyone had to go over the mountains and mountains to the official road, and found a dilapidated mountain temple before it was dark.

There was already a fire in the temple, and everyone carefully touched it, so shocked that a man touched the weapon and was about to cast a spell. Master Xiao hurriedly said that he had misunderstood, and only said that he had come out of the sect to experience and wanted to spend the night.

Because everyone used the cleaning charm, I couldn't see anything other than a tired face.

The other party is two big men, one burly, the other tall and thin, the most taboo to inquire about each other when going out, everyone is busy and guarded, just waiting for dawn to part ways, and nothing to do with it.

Xu is Yuan Ding and there are many of them, which really makes the other party a little uneasy, and finally in the second half of the night, the tall and thin man couldn't stand it, and asked the head of Xiao who was on duty at night: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, but you went to the hometown of the Shangqing faction?" ”

Master Xiao was taken aback and said, "How do you know?" ”

The tall and thin man said: "Brother Tai doesn't need to be nervous, my two brothers also went there." It's no secret now. ”

Master Xiao said: "Why did Brother Tai say this? ”

Before the tall and thin man could speak, he was interrupted by the burly man and said: "You two are also troublesome when you talk, now I know that the news of the birth of a baby in the hometown of the Shangqing faction has already spread all over the rivers and lakes, everyone is going to hunt for treasures, there is no need to be so guarded, I think you can still go together." ”

Master Xiao was even more shocked: "Is there a baby born in the hometown of the Shangqing faction?" ”

The burly man said, "You don't know, do you?" ”

Master Xiao said: "Don't hide it from you, we have been training in the mountains and forests in the past, but we really don't know." ”

The burly man said, "Okay." Then you know now, everyone understands people, we don't need to consume, my two brothers are sleeping. ”

Master Xiao said: "The two heroes, please take care of yourself, we are just resting, and there is no ill will towards the two." ”

Having said that, the two of them still didn't dare to sleep, and hurried on the road after suffering hardship until dawn.

Everyone finally knew why the Changshan Gang didn't chase them, it turned out that they were looking for a baby. Maybe the Qing Wei faction's suffering this time is related to the hometown of the Shangqing faction.

Now that they knew the news, everyone was not in a hurry to go north, but planned to go all the way east, towards the North Ross River.

After all, the baby or something is really insignificant compared to the little life.

Before going on the road, Yuan Ding expressed his doubts to the head of Xiao, he thought that the Changshan Gang was not not chasing them, but wanted to drive the remnants of the Qingwei faction to the hometown of the Qing Dynasty, so as to plan something unspeakable.

After listening to Yuan Ding's analysis, Master Xiao said: "What you said is exactly what I am worried about, if this is the case, I am afraid that we will not follow the wishes of the Changshan Gang, so let's go to explore the way first." ”

After saying that, he ordered the disciple who was quick with his legs and feet to go and explore the way.

Yuan Ding continued: "If the cubs of the Changshan Gang want to drive us to their hometown, they will definitely set up an ambush on the road ahead. But why drive us to our homeland? ”

Master Xiao said: "Formation! Defend the mountain! It must be so. ”

Yuan Ding was puzzled: "Guarding the mountain array?" ”

Master Xiao said: "According to legend, when the head of the Shangqing Dynasty, Patriarch Lu Qingchen, held the Immortal Sword and killed the sect in a big way, and the formation was already fully opened. Although I don't know the reason, I thought it was Lu Zuliu's backhand, but I didn't expect that the Zhuxian Sword was too demonic and could erode Lu Zu. It is said that the mountain guarding array is set up by the true immortals of the upper realm, connecting the leylines of the North Ross Mountain, communicating the sun and the Taiyin, and for 2,000 years, the power has not diminished. And if you want to enter the hometown of Shangqing through the mountain guarding array, there are generally two methods, one is a person who has cultivated the Shangqing Dao Method, and the other is a person who carries an item with the imprint of the Shangqing Sect Dao. ”

Yuan Ding was puzzled: "Master, since the power of the mountain guarding array is so great, why did all the disciples of the sect go down the mountain back then?" ”

Master Xiao sighed: "Hey! Lu Zu had already survived the Heavenly Tribulation back then, and he was a powerful man in the Mahayana period, and what he held in his hand was the immortal weapon of the Zhuxian Sword, and the damage caused to the sect was unimaginable. According to those who later escaped from the mountain gate, the Shangqing faction was already full of Zhuxian sword qi and demonic qi. And the aura disorder is even worse than the full moon night in the moon, and it is not suitable for cultivation at all. Later, the remnants of the Shangqing faction wanted to return to the sect because they could not bear the oppression, but the Shangqing hometown had become very sensitive for some unknown reason, and the people who went back were all suppressed by local forces. ”

Yuan Ding exclaimed, "Could it be that the sword qi and demonic qi still exist now?" ”

Master Xiao said: "I don't know if there is demonic qi, but there will definitely be sword qi." Because every sword qi contains sword intent. ”

Yuan Ding said: "Is the sword intent immortal? ”

Master Xiao said: "Nothing lasts forever. But the sword intent, as long as it is not artificially worn out, it is very difficult to die naturally by relying on it. Especially the sword intent of the powerful cultivator, it will not naturally die out without ten thousand years. ”

Yuan Ding was amazed, and he didn't know how high Lu Zu's cultivation was back then, and whether he had the great magic power of moving mountains and reclamation.

At this moment, the disciple who went to explore the path performed the magic technique and rushed back, reporting: "Senior brother in charge, I found the Changshan gang in front of me. ”

Master Xiao was stunned: "That's really the case! It seems that the heavens are going to destroy my Qingwei faction. ”

Everyone said one after another: "Master, how should I wait?" ”

Someone said: "Master, it's better for us to fight out, if we can go one by one, the Qingwei faction can't destroy the door." ”

There are also humanitarians: "Master, do we have a chance to go back to the hometown of Shangqing?" ”

Yuan Ding thought for a while and said, "Master, I have a suggestion. Before Master Xiao could speak, Yuan Ding continued: "Why don't we change into the clothes of the rivers and lakes for casual cultivation, break it into pieces on the official road, wait for the opportunity to escape when the Shangqing baby is born, and then agree on a time and place to meet there?" ”

Xiao Zhangmen said: "Now there must be many rivers and lakes scattered to rush to the Shangqing hometown, which is a good way." It's just that there are a lot of people in the sect who can be recognized by the Changshan Gang, what should these people do? ”

Yuan Ding said: "Two ways, one is to make up and make up, and the other is to hide and wait for the baby to be born, I believe that after the baby is born, we don't have to hide in Tibet." ”

Someone chimed in: "The master, the young boss said that the way to hide is feasible, and it is really difficult to hide in this vast mountain and be found." ”

Master Xiao said: "Indeed, Yi Rong's words can't be hidden from people with high realms, so I have to hide first." Then without further ado, everyone did what the young master said, and dealt with everything that could prove that he was a Qingwei faction, including weapons. ”

It didn't take long for everyone to take care of everything, and six of the sixteen people were afraid of being recognized by the Changshan Gang, so they decided to hide in the mountains. There are also four who don't want to go to the hometown of Shangqing, and they also want to hide in the mountains. The remaining six decided to go to Shangqing's hometown first and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

Seeing that everyone was looking for a way, Master Xiao said: "Everyone, it's me Xiao who is incompetent, and I've affected everyone." ”

Everyone said one after another: "Don't blame the boss, it's the Changshan Gang who deceives people too much, and they want to do that thing of killing them all." In the future, I will definitely take revenge. ”

After looking around at everyone, Master Xiao said: "Everyone, let's not talk much, I hope everyone can save their lives and gather in Ningyang City in three years." ”

Everyone said: "Take care, I will live up to the Qingwei faction in this life." ”

Master Xiao was a little sluggish, but he still insisted and said, "Okay, let's go separately." ”

After reluctantly saying goodbye to everyone, the ten people scattered to find a hiding place first, while the remaining six people, including Xiao Zhangmen and Yuan Ding, went to the official road.

The head of Xiao should also hide, but his goal is too big, and he is the head of a faction, not only is there no need to hide, but he can't fall into the reputation of the Qingwei faction.

This is the difference between modern people Yuan Ding and Xiao Zhangmen, in Yuan Ding's opinion, what kind of reputation. Interests are all false, as long as people live, fame and fortune will always be earned.

Just like the opposition between good and evil, Yuan Ding also felt that there was no need to fight and kill, and it was not a great feud between life and death, how good it was for everyone to be busy.

Yuan Ding has no cultivation at this time, and he has been recuperating in the inner hall in the Qingwei faction, and he has never gone out at all, so he is not afraid of being recognized. And he felt that the birth of the Shangqing faction's baby might be related to his arrival, so he wanted to go to the hometown of Shangqing.

The token given to him by the head of the Xiao family has also been taken off by him and hidden in his inner pocket.

After everyone separated on the official road, Yuan Ding gradually fell last. Although his spirit has improved recently, he still can't travel for a long time, so after everyone is separated, he becomes the last one, but Yuan Ding is not in a hurry, he walks for a while and rests for a while, so he falls farther.
