"What is this?"

Shang Qingwu stared at the bamboo tube in Su Heng's hand and asked curiously.

She vaguely saw a man in black brushing Su Heng's back just now.

But when he came back to his senses and looked carefully, the man had already disappeared into the flow of people and was out of sight.

"This is..."

Su Heng smelled a subtle incense stick from the sealed red clay.

This fragrance, he had once smelled on Xue Qing's body.

So I quickly had an answer in my heart.

"It should be an informant sent by Xue Honglou to contact. I haven't taken the initiative to visit yet, but I didn't expect them to come to the door first. During the conversation, Su Heng dismantled the red clay used for sealing it and took out a roll of dark yellow letter paper from it.

His gaze swept over the letterhead.

Su Heng swallowed it with all his strength in his palm, shattering it and turning it into powder.

Shang Qingwu withdrew her gaze and didn't ask any more questions, but she could see that the expression on her face had become a little lower.

Although the days of sightseeing are good.

But in troubled times, it is destined not to last long.

Although Su Heng didn't speak, he sighed softly in his heart.

Haruka remembers that the goal of choosing martial arts was just to protect his family and allow him to live well in the troubled times.

But as time passed, his realm became higher and higher, his reputation and status in the rivers and lakes became bigger and bigger, and he caused more and more trouble.

On the contrary, he often puts his relatives and friends in danger around him.

Such a situation made Su Heng often feel guilty in his heart.

Now that he is in the rivers and lakes, he must not have the idea of retreating, but can only move forward and keep climbing. Until you finally stand at the peak, you can enjoy the peace and tranquility that you once expected.

Next.

Su Heng and Shang Qingwu continued to enjoy the scenery in Fengshan.

It wasn't until late at night that he left the maple mountain and returned to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying.

……

A few days later.

Su Heng went to the meeting according to the agreed place on the envelope.

Xue Honglou is the leader of the martial arts in Haozhou, and in order to maintain his rule, Xuehonglou has also done a lot of things during this time.

One of the things is to hold regular gatherings among the top warriors.

Under the guarantee of the Snow Red Mansion, different warriors exchanged their own information, resources, and even cultivation insights with each other.

This kind of gathering is called the Snow Bamboo Festival.

It's been a long time.

The reputation of the Snow Bamboo Club gradually grew.

Every time it is held, it can even attract strong people from nearby states and counties.

The venue of the Snow Bamboo Club was held in an elegant courtyard in Taichuan District, Haozhou Prefecture.

When the sky is bright.

Su Heng came to the door of this remote courtyard and stopped.

There had just been a light rain last night, and there was a little standing water on the ground, and there was a faint smell of earth in the air. There are no pedestrians in sight on the streets from end to end, and they are quiet on all sides.

The gates of the small courtyard were open.

Looking into the courtyard, there was a deserted courtyard overgrown with weeds.

"It's a fun place."

Su Heng practiced the Cave Xuan Sutra and was about to step into the level of the Heart Imprint.

With a keen sense of self, it is natural to discover the subtleties in this courtyard.

This courtyard has a cave.

What you see from the outside is actually not the same as what you really feel from the inside.

Sure enough.

Su Heng took a step forward, and he sensed a faint layer of resistance from the door frame.

It was like an invisible gelatinous film, resting in front of Su Heng.

And as he gently pressed forward, there seemed to be a crisp sound in his ears, and he stepped into the courtyard.

At this time, the courtyard is very different from what I just saw.

Not only is the area much larger, but the scenery inside is also very vivid.

Gone are the yellow weeds and cracked stone slabs, replaced by a flowerbed of purple and red flowers. Even more wonderful, there are gurgling water in the flower garden, small bridges and rockeries, with the mist, almost like stepping on the fairyland of the world, making people's hearts ripple.

Su Heng knew that this was an internal means.

He had seen him more than once in his master Liu Qingqing and in Koizumi Temple.

Being able to arrange the interior scene shows that there is a martial arts master with high spiritual attainments in the Snow Red Mansion. The owner of the Snow Red Mansion is also using this means to show his strength to the outside world.

"But Su Heng's senior."

A soft female voice sounded in Su Heng's ears.

It was a woman wearing a cyan cheongsam with a white mask on her face.

Although he can't see his face, his figure is excellent, and he looks convex and backward under the outline of the tight-fitting cheongsam, and his every move is full of charm.

"Not bad." Su Heng bowed slightly.

"The landlord wants to see you." Then the cheongsam woman said, "Please come with me." ”

Su Heng was not afraid, and strode behind the woman. After a few turns, a small pavilion appeared in front of Su Heng.

Kiosk.

A woman in a pink dress was half-kneeling on the ground, with her back to Su Heng.

This is the owner of the Xuehong Mansion, Zhao Feixue.

She was holding a white cloth in her hand, and she was gently wiping a black wordless stone tablet in front of her, and a series of spiritual fluctuations like ripples were slowly spreading outward with this stone tablet as the center.

If nothing else, the stele is the centerpiece of the interior.

It was agreed that Su Heng would meet here.

It is enough to see that the landlord attaches great importance to Su Heng.

"I have long heard that Lord Su Gu is a hero in the world, and it is really a blessing to finally see it today." This martial arts master with a name in Haozhou turned around and looked Su Heng up and down with a soft gaze.

She has a good sense of distance, and the corners of her mouth are hooked into a smile, even if she has a scrupulous gaze, it will not make people feel uncomfortable.

Su Heng was also looking at this big man in Haozhou.

Unlike most of the old and decrepit grandmasters he had met before, Zhao Feixue's appearance was like that of a young girl, only in her twenties at most, her skin was fair and smooth, and she could not see the slightest trace of time.

But there is also a mysterious aura emanating from his body.

Such as the abyss, the spring breeze of Yishui.

People dare not underestimate it.

"The landlord has an overreputation." Su Heng waved his hand and directly explained his intention, "I came this time because I wanted to get the landlord's help." ”

"Oh."

Zhao Feixue said with a smile, "When I sent someone to Yunzhou to cooperate with Boss Su, you simply refused, and the little woman still remembers those words in her heart." ”

"However, since Boss Su has taken the initiative to speak, it is obviously a very important matter."

Zhao Feixue's mind is elusive.

But he didn't make Su Heng unable to get off the stage in this matter, and after laughing, he continued to speak:

"Now the Dayue Imperial Court is doing mischief, traitors are stealing handles, and national theories are confused. Our generation of warriors, in this troubled era, should be born in the people of fire and water, and restore the prestige of the Han officials. ”

A ray of light flashed in her bright eyes, and her voice was like a golden iron horse in an instant, impassioned,

"The Lord of Su Gu slashed the Lord of the Heavenly Curtain Banner, and the Grandmaster of the Imperial Court, he is really a model for my generation, if there is something urgent, even if he says it, the little woman will definitely help!"

Su Heng was a little embarrassed by what she said.

"It's not a big deal." Su Heng's expression on his face remained unchanged and said, "I heard that the legendary Daokan Immortal Mountain stands in the territory of Haozhou, and the Snow Red Mansion is the leader of the martial arts in Haozhou. This time, I also wanted to ask the valley owner if there was a way to enter Daokan Mountain. ”

Zhao Feixue had a slightly surprised look on her face.

However, she quickly reacted and said softly, "Speaking of which, Daokan Immortal Mountain is indeed going to come back in the world again after a while. However, it is not easy to enter the fairy mountain. Not only rare qualifications are required, but also keys. ”

"Keys?"

"That's right." Zhao Feixue said, "The reason why Xianshan is mysterious is because it does not exist in the real world. It is a special spiritual realm, but it can distort and affect reality, and the key must be passed to open the door to the immortal mountain. ”

"And how do I get the key?" Su Heng asked again.

"Legend has it that there is a secret of immortality in the Immortal Mountain, and the cultivators in it are high, and only when the catastrophe of the troubled times comes, will a small number of Xianshan disciples walk outside. But even so, those disciples also possessed a powerful strength far beyond ordinary grandmasters, which made people desperate. ”

"Many cultivators want to enter the Immortal Mountain to cultivate, and the key to the Immortal Mountain is naturally extremely precious."

Zhao Feixue first sold a pass, and then suddenly changed her words,

"However, since Lord Su Gu came to visit in person, if you let you go home empty-handed, it will be my Zhao Feixue who is not hospitable. It just so happens that I have a key left here, and I can take it if the valley lord needs it. ”

She had a frank smile on her face.

On the white and slender palm, a black wooden plaque engraved with a strange dragon pattern hovered.

What Zhao Feixue said just now is true or false, and there must be deliberate exaggeration and untruth. But overall, it is not easy to get this key.

Su Heng hesitated slightly, then reached out and took the key in Zhao Feixue's hand.

He hugged his fists and thanked him, and said in a deep voice: "I owe Lord Zhao a favor for this matter, and if you need it in the future, you can contact me at any time." ”

"Your words are enough."

Zhao Feixue bowed slightly, smiling.

As Su Heng expected, the key to the Immortal Mountain was precious.

But now the force behind Guo Zixing, the king of Fengyang, is Daokan Xianshan, and the relationship between Xue Honglou, as the leader of the rivers and lakes in Haozhou, and the king of Fengyang is naturally extremely close.

There is such a connection.

The key to the Immortal Mountain may not be too rare for Zhao Feixue.

Being able to exchange such a key for the favor of a promising master like Su Heng is definitely a surefire deal.

After some conversation, Su Heng and Zhao Feixue both got the results they wanted, and the first meeting between the two was considered to be a good relationship.

Su Heng was about to say goodbye and leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Feixue took the initiative to keep it.

"Lord Su Gu finally came to Haozhou, and it happened that the Snow Bamboo Festival was held today, can you come to visit one or two." Zhao Feixue opened his mouth and invited.

"It's fine."

Having said this, Su Heng was embarrassed to refuse directly.

For this well-known Snow Bamboo Club, Su Heng was also a little curious.

In this way, under the personal leadership of Zhao Feixue, the two walked towards a water pavilion in this interior scene.

"There should be a lot of people participating in the Snow Bamboo Meeting, and the number of top martial artists is not much, if the enemy encounters it in this interior scene, wouldn't it be troublesome, how should the landlord deal with it?"

On the way, Su Heng asked curiously.

"It's easy." Zhao Feixue replied, "If you don't want to reveal your identity, I can provide a mask here to cover it up." ”

"Is there a need for Lord Su Gu?"

"It doesn't have to be." Su Heng just finished speaking.

A black and red flame suddenly appeared from his body, and some kind of terrifying giant seemed to flash away from the blazing torch.

The pitch-black flames vanished in the blink of an eye.

But a ghost mask full of fangs and sharp teeth appeared on Su Heng's face.

The white teeth, which were as sharp as a file, looked quite terrifying, and people did not dare to look at them directly.

"Such a method..."

Zhao Feixue's pupils contracted slightly, and a touch of shock flashed on her face.

This flower garden stands in the spiritual realm of Xuan Zhi and Xuan, if you have to compare it, Zhao Feixue is equivalent to the administrator, and Su Heng and the other guests who participated in the assembly are equivalent to the players in it.

But Su Heng entered the interior scene, how long did it take.

It is already keenly aware of the loopholes in the interior scene, and can modify it with its own strength, and obtain some of the permissions belonging to the administrator.

This kind of spiritual attainment has even surpassed many powerful grandmasters who have been famous for a long time.

The two of them blink to a hall surrounded by water in the depths of the interior scene, the hall is ventilated on all sides, and through the screen, you can see the figure of the woman of Miaoman.

The women were either dancing or playing the harps.

The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra lingers, coupled with the picturesque scenery around it, is indeed a pleasure that can only be enjoyed in dreams.

At this time, there were already many people in the hall waiting with peace of mind.

Most people wear masks on their faces, which they use to conceal their identity. But there are also a small number of people who sit down like this, obviously extremely confident in their own strength.

Su Heng and Zhao Feixue came side by side, and many people's eyes suddenly fell on the two of them.

There was a small and noisy discussion in the otherwise quiet hall.

Although they didn't know Su Heng's identity, they could get Zhao Feixue's attention so much, and his strength was naturally extremely strong.

Of course, according to the rules of the assembly.

Although everyone was surprised, no one took the initiative to ask Su Heng's origin.

Su Heng was happy to find a place near the corner and sit quietly, closing his eyes and resting.

Zhao Feixue walked to the center of the hall, said a few polite words, and announced the official start of the rally, and then left silently, leaving the venue to everyone.

"A bottle of Spring Breeze Jade Dew Pill has three pills in it. This elixir can be used to prevent the alienation of the grandmaster, and to calm the mind, and the specific effect is clear to everyone, so I won't say more here. ”

The first person to speak was unmasked.

His white hair was pale, he looked like a fairy wind bone, and the cyan robe on his body was embroidered with peculiar grass patterns, and he seemed to be an alchemist with a great reputation.

"I'll give out ten innate spirit stones!" A middle-aged man with a monkey mask on his face quickly spoke.

The so-called innate spirit stone is a mineral that has been impregnated by the ancient innate aura. There are about a hundred innate spirit stones, which can refine a wisp of innate spiritual energy.

The innate aura is a life-prolonging treasure without side effects.

In the barbaric era tens of thousands of years ago, when the innate aura was still alive, ordinary people could live for three to five hundred years.

But time flies, I don't know what happened between heaven and earth, the innate aura gradually disappeared without a trace, and only some impregnated spirit stones are still in the world, which are regarded as common coins by cultivators at the grandmaster level.

"I'll give out fifteen spirit stones!"

Soon, someone raised the price again, and after a few rounds of shouting, this bottle of elixir was finally auctioned at the price of twenty-seven spirit stones.

The pharmacist in Tsing Yi stroked his long beard and smiled on his face, obviously satisfied with the price.

"I'll give out an armor, and the reserve price is fifty spirit stones." A middle-aged woman dressed in white takes a close-fitting inner armor with a light purple glow, which is still a women's style.

None of the people around him seemed to be very interested in the armor. After a few rounds of bidding, it was bought by a bad old man with a red face.

The bad old man's face was full of joy, and after he got the inner armor, he gestured to his body, looking quite spicy.

This was followed by several rounds of shouting.

When it was Su Heng's turn, he swept over directly and did not take out any objects.

This was a bit of a disappointment for the people around me.

First, the strength of this big guy is probably extraordinary, and some resources exposed in his fingers are enough to benefit them a lot.

On the other hand, there are so many top martial arts masters in Haozhou and nearby. With a little speculation on the resources in hand, it is easy to determine the general origin.

After Su Heng, there were several rounds of selling.

The five-year assembly was gradually coming to an end, and Su Heng was ready to leave.

But at this moment, the news provided by a short man with a mouse mask on his face made Su Heng quite interested.

If the news is true.

Maybe...

It was not certain that he would be able to completely step into the realm of the Grandmaster before the trial of Daokan Mountain began.
