Chapter 143: Hesitation (2)
Zou Yanwen seems to be arrogant on weekdays, but in fact, he is also very delicate and cautious in his heart, especially for the affairs of the sect, it is the first place.
Take the people he knew earlier when he interrogated them, although it seemed to be a very no-nonsense move, but when you think about it, whether it is what he said or what he did at the time, it is not without details.
And letting He Juan go back is nothing more than holding the attitude of being cautious and sailing a ship for ten thousand years, and assigning someone to return to the sect to report the situation, in case the other party has a conspiracy, then more or less will be bogeyed.
And his previous remarks that he wanted to give up the first wave of opportunities may be simply a string, if the other party is still warmly admonished, I am afraid that this Zou senior will really turn around and leave.
However, Luo Yixian's face did not change in the slightest at that time, and his narrow eyes really made it impossible to see his inner thoughts, which made Qingyun a little unsure of the other party's thoughts.
"Hey, I hope I'm thinking too much, maybe Ling Jue Dian really has a good relationship with the Haiyou Sword Sect? After all, the situation is stronger than people, and it is not impossible for them to be soft. ”
Gently shaking the long hair tied up behind him, feeling the coldness of the wind in the sky, Qingyun finally calmed down his restless heart and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
In general, the territory of Yuezhou is still very rich and prosperous, and it is much more fertile than Liangzhou, which is close to the land of barbarian demons, which is not only judged by the size of the town and the number of refugees, but also from the number of monks and the intensity of the aura between the mountains and rivers.
From leaving Liangqian Village to now becoming a monk and preparing to go to the small secret realm to fight for opportunities, Qingyun has heard a lot of rumors about Yi Chen, the head of the Immortal Sword Sect.
And the content is nothing more than revolving around his role as the head of the Yuezhou Immortal Sword Sect, but because of his indecisive character, the sect has never been able to continue to develop and expand, and there is just the gossip that the two brothers were jealous of back then.
However, in the eyes of today's Qingyun, his cheap uncle, or uncle, may not be as incompetent as the rumors say.
At least judging from the wave of refugees he encountered when he left Wuhua Mountain, although it was also like starving across the border, it did not have the situation of Qingxutian changing his son and eating.
Under the temptation of heavenly treasures and elixirs, these twenty people from the Haiyou Sword Sect only felt that the time in this life had never been so slow. The two-day journey was so difficult that even Brother Huang, who had always been as steady as a mountain, couldn't sit still on the back of the strange beast.
Looking at the undisguised excitement on everyone's faces, Qingyun's previous worries seemed to be diluted.
Two days later, at noon, the group of the Haiyou Sword Sect finally landed on a clearing that had already been repaired.
Of course, the monks who greeted them this time were not as polite and humble as Luo Yixian, after all, Ling Jue Hall and the Sea You Sword Sect had been fighting for an unknown number of years, and now the two families may have forgotten why they fought in the first place.
A disciple of the Ling Jue Hall mechanically led their group to the gathering place of all the sects, and then left on their own without greeting them, without giving them any face.
Especially the cold eyes before he left, which made Qingyun feel uncomfortable all over his body. To be reasonable, he felt that he should not have a sense of crisis for monks who were only in the middle stage of the Spirit Channeling Realm.
"Made, this junior is too faceless for us, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many people here, Lao Tzu would have to educate him well about what politeness is!
Kuai Jian stared at the departing back of the Ling Jue Hall monk with unkind eyes, and spat viciously on the ground, causing Bai Xuan's eyebrows on the side to jump.
"Okay, Brother Kuai, don't be angry, there are so many people, pay attention to the image, the mountain village men in the Ling Jue Hall don't understand the rules, our Haiyou Sword Sect can't be rude in front of fellow Daoists. ”
Bai Xuan's words did not suppress his voice, and the guiding disciple was obviously stunned after hearing it, but he only paused for a moment and continued to walk away as if he had not heard it, without looking back.
"Cut, rats. ”
Bai Xuan pursed his lips disdainfully, and wanted to be sarcastic, but was stopped by Bai Zhizheng shaking his head, and said:
"Okay, Bai Xuan, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, don't say it again, let's be low-key!"
Having said that, everyone can hear the insincerity of Bai Ye's mouth. Qingyun saw this scene in his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart:
"Even Bai Ye despises Ling Jue Hall so much, if they want to take the opportunity to make trouble, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with! I hope that when the time comes, those enemies of the Haiyou Sword Sect will not join forces to deal with us. ”
At this time, everyone took a closer look, and saw that more than a hundred monks in different costumes had already stopped on the crowded field, and some of them even retained animal characteristics, such as long tails and sharp horns.
According to Qingyun's estimate, those monks are only afraid that they are half-demons in people's mouths.
Everyone had chosen the location of the camp early according to their respective sects, and the number of people in the Haiyou Sword Sect was the largest, and when they saw the mighty more than twenty people coming together, their eyes showed a faint hostility.
"This Luo Yixian is true. ”
Qingyun's eyes swept slightly, and he found that there were really only fourteen or fifteen camps with little power grouped together, and the clear appearance was like a nest of rats occupying territory, which was very funny.
There are also some monks who are dressed differently and are not even of similar races, which are considered to be the loose cultivators who have paid the money this time to occupy the place in advance.
For the great bargain of the Haiyou Sword Sect getting a quota this time, other sects have more or less heard of it, but now the sects that can receive the news in the first time are not fuel-efficient lamps.
They don't want to offend the Haiyou Sword Sect, so as not to be retaliated against after going in and leaving alone, but they are not so afraid, if the Haiyou Sword Sect really wants to eat alone by relying on the strength of the crowd, everyone is still familiar with idioms such as teamwork and huddle for warmth.
is different from the excitement of the previous journey to Haiyou City with Bai Zhizheng, I don't know if it is because Zou Yanwen is arrogant and famous, or everyone knows each other about the competition that is about to start.
Even Bai Zhizheng, who was famous far and wide, did not have anyone come to greet him, and Qingyun finally felt the invisible pressure brought by the stagnant atmosphere around him to everyone at this time.
There was no need for the introduction of the monk at all, and the people of the Haiyou Sword Sect could see at a glance the specific location of the small secret realm space barrier, and the reason was very simple.
It was close to the woods, and the surface of the ground should have been lush emerald green, but the monks who arrived first sat down in a barren circle where no grass grew, and it was obvious that the circle was the final destination of their trip!
Zou Yanwen and Bai Zhizheng glanced at each other, and both saw a faint solemnity in each other's eyes, so it was rare that the two of them had no intention of competing for high and low, and they didn't say a word in a tacit understanding, leading everyone to find a relatively empty place to sit down, and then ordered everyone to quickly adjust their internal breath in case the small secret realm could be opened at any time.
This empty place near the forest sea was once again silent, and only the sound of everyone's slow and long breathing remained.
However, just before the buttocks of the Haiyou Sword Sect and the group were hot, the nearly two hundred monks present all opened their sharp eyes at the same time and stared at the front in unison.
Although the highest cultivation among all people is only in the middle and late stages of the Yuanhua Realm, and there is not even a monk in the Condensing Realm, the monk is a monk after all, and he is the most sensitive to the tidal rhythm of the aura between heaven and earth and the changes in the power of time and space.
At this time, the rookie Qingyun could feel that some unusual change seemed to be taking place in the open space in the center of the square, and in a moment, a narrow light gray crack suddenly appeared in the place where the spatial fluctuations were the strongest!
The crack appeared silently, not as if the paper had been torn as he imagined, but out of thin air, which was extremely strange.
The crack is about the thickness of a silver needle, twisted and winding no more than a few feet high, and it is said to be pale gray, but when you look closely, it presents a strange feeling of distorted light and shadow, like a thunder that crosses the night sky, tearing a small hole in the perfect world.
Qingyun squinted his eyes slightly, he already felt that among the monks of the other sects next to the Sea You Sword Sect, some people had slowly begun to have killing intent in their hearts.
Although it wasn't aimed at himself, he felt that he probably had a grudge against someone from the Sea You Sword Sect, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to carry out a sneak attack at the moment he entered the small secret realm.
The current Qingyun is not what it used to be, but it is not the simple young man who let Chen Quan'er slap Chen Quan'er in Chen Defu's mansion that day, you can't have the heart of harming people, but you have to keep it in mind all the time to prevent people!
Therefore, when everyone was paying attention to the spatial barrier that would open at any time, he inadvertently took off the cold hairpin knife behind his head, and then quietly held it in the palm of his hand to prevent trouble.
After a few more breaths, the pale gray crack was like a living snake and worm, growing and wriggling slowly, from no more than a few feet, to more than a zhang, and then slowly widening, with the length of two fingers.
At this time, Zou Yanwen lowered his voice and said in a solemn tone:
"Attention to the disciples of the Haiyou Sword Sect, the small secret realm is about to open, and we can't make specific plans anymore, but I tell you now that the jade plate issued to you in this training is specially made, and you can sense the location of the same sect as long as you are within a radius of several miles. In order to prevent us from being surrounded and suppressed, except for me and Bai Zhizheng, the senses of the two teams are not connected to each other, understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone should say in unison, and Zou Yanwen said:
"After entering the small secret realm, everyone will be teleported everywhere by the unstable power of time and space, so the first thing to do is to join the same door. Bai Zhizheng and I will each find a safe place to wait for the disciples for three days, if we can't arrive within three days, then be cautious! Remember! Take care of your life first, and then complete the task of the sect!"
