Chapter 224: Qionghua Town
The mud houses here can be seen at a glance, and there are about 20 houses, which are a little more dilapidated and poor than the Tianyun Village where Er Mazi stays.
At the entrance of the town, there is a wooden sign inserted at random, on which the three words of Qionghua Town are written crookedly, this place is only less than fifty miles away from the Qionghai mountain forest, and according to the rumors on the rivers and lakes, there is still one day before the birth of Shangcheng, therefore, many people have chosen to rest here for the time being, and then go up the mountain tomorrow to grab the treasure, but there are many people who have already gone up the mountain, waiting early, and intend to take the first step.
Thirty years ago, this ancient city was opened once, but that time everyone who entered, ninety percent of them were folded in it, and those who escaped by luck had their own gains, and some people even relied on the exercises in it, and achieved a lot of cultivation, but as for the legendary peerless exercises, there was no trace, and the cheats of the birth were only some medium exercises, but there were no even high-grade exercises, for those who were scattered in the rivers and lakes, the medium exercises could indeed be regarded as a huge gain, but for the six major sects of Taoism, it was really insignificant, otherwise this ancient city, has long been divided by the six major factions, how can there be someone else's share.
But even so, there are still many people who have the mentality of giving it a try and want to try their luck, even if there are no peerless exercises, top exercises, and high-grade exercises, if they can get a medium exercise, they can make their strength greatly improved.
Because of this, the opening of the ancient city this time attracted the most people, which are these small sects at the bottom of the strength, or the scattered people in the rivers and lakes without sects, which can be said to account for as much as ninety percent, and those masters feel that in the ancient city of Qionghai, there is no peerless practice at all, at best, it is just a Tibetan scripture pavilion of the Extinction Sect, this kind of place, in the huge rivers and lakes, can be said to be very numerous.
As for those medium exercises, the real masters can't look down on them, and there has been news of the birth of peerless exercises in the rivers and lakes over the years, which is simply as much as a cow's hair, but for hundreds of years, there has never been a trace of peerless exercises, and some people even think that this is just a disguise, the people who can attract this ancient city are almost all low-level martial artists, and at this time, Xiao Yueming, who was standing outside the town, including a group of martial artists, witnessed the strong allure of this ancient city for low-level martial artists.
At a glance, I saw that around Qionghua Town, which was not big, the ground was densely packed with people, some of them were chatting in twos and threes, very noisy, and some were in groups, and the rest of the people were obviously separated, obviously from the same gang, these people were obviously low-level cultivators, and some of them even did not even enter the third-rate realm.
And the people who can sit in the town, their cultivation has obviously improved to a higher level, although they are only sitting underground, but these people's eyes are like torches, their expressions are resolute, at a glance, they are successful martial artists, Xiao Yueming can see that the people who can sit in Qionghua Town, their cultivation is not weak, and some people have even reached the top third-rate realm.
As for the martial artists who are qualified to live in the house, the cultivation will at least reach the second-rate realm, if you look down at this time, this Qionghua Town is like a tiny grain of rice, and the surrounding warriors are like a huge number of ant colonies, wooing a piece of Qionghua Town, surrounded by a group.
"Oh my God, why are there so many people!"
Next to Xiao Yueming, a young martial artist with a sword at his waist and an ordinary appearance opened his mouth to complain.
I saw that the companion beside him said with a distressed face:
"Yes, I thought that no one paid attention to this ancient city, and I wanted to sneak up a leak, but now it's so good that I can't even drink the soup. ”
Hearing the bitter tone of the two, I saw an old man with a white beard, smiling and quipping:
"Two little hairy heads who have never seen the world, how big these rivers and lakes are, and how many warriors, these people are just some drizzle, and the real masters are estimated to look down on here!"
After that, I saw that the old man crossed the crowd on the periphery, raised his feet and stepped into the fence of Qionghua Town, those who were sitting on the edge of the fence, all looked at each other, only to see the old man's sleeve robe bulging, and immediately exuded his own breath, according to Xiao Yueming's observation, it also reached the level of ordinary third-rate.
After the old man exuded his cultivation, the warriors who were sitting on the periphery of the fence withdrew their scrutinizing gaze and let the old man walk into Qionghua Town.
Seeing this, the rest of the warriors also frequently followed suit, and those who were confident in their own strength released their cultivation into the town, and those who were not strong enough chose to sit outside the town, of course, there was also speculation and trickery, and people who fished in troubled waters, their own strength was weak, and they intended to blend into the town, but here except for the aborigines in the town, they were all self-cultivation, and those who wanted to do this were simply in the water in their heads, and they were stupid.
There was a sound of fists waving in their ears, Xiao Yueming and the others heard the sound and looked, only to see a person who wanted to blend into the town, but was attacked by the warriors on the periphery, and after a while, they saw that this person was like a broken sack and was thrown out of Qionghua Town.
Looking at the crowded town, Hu Wei whispered:
"Don't look at the martial artists here on the periphery who are weak in cultivation, they are all below the second rate, but there are indispensable people like us who hide their identities, after entering the town, everything must be done carefully, you know. ”
Feihu nodded first, patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, it's a matter of life and death, grandpa absolutely controls his emotions. ”
What Flying Tiger said is true, this Qionghua Town seems to be some low-level martial artists with weak strength, but there must be real masters hidden in them, once the identity of the four saints of Gushan is exposed, it will be extremely unfavorable for them.
The boss nodded slowly, seeing that he still seemed to be a little relieved, and said to Feihu and Huangfu Tower:
"You two are optimistic about the fourth, don't let him do anything dangerous. ”
Huangfu Lou inserted the folding fan into his waist and covered it with a linen robe:
"I'll look at the fourth. ”
After seeing Huangfu Lou and saying that, he warned Xiao Yueming and Su Lan in a calm tone, because Huangfu Lou was wearing a hood, but he couldn't see what his expression was:
"If the two of you make any more abnormal moves, then I will take your lives in the next moment, obediently explore the way for us, and maybe there will be a way to live, and if you try to get out of our control, there is only one way to die. ”
"The plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, do you still want to succeed for the second time?"
Xiao Yueming and Su Lan did not respond, if the two of them were caught by the Four Sages of Gushan just because of their lack of strength, exposing the identities of the Four Sages of Gushan, and letting others contain them, this strategy would work, but now Su Lan does not have such a strange poison as Soul Breaking Poison, and is unable to resist the toxicity of the Hundred Days Heartbreaking Pill, once they are out of the control of the Four Sages of Gushan, there is only one way to die.
Xiao Yueming and the others crossed the many warriors on the periphery, and then came to the fence, only to see Hu Wei and Huangfu Lou around the sleeve robes drumming, showing the top third-rate cultivation, this kind of realm, can be called the upper level of the town's martial arts, and Feihu and Bai Lian, also suppressed the cultivation, showing the realm of ordinary third-rate, this kind of strength can already be called the top level in the town, but if you want to enter the few twenty or so earthen houses to live, you need to have at least a second-rate cultivation.
I saw that everyone on the periphery all cast their eyes, wanting to know who such a powerful person was, but because of the cover of the linen robe, no one could see their faces clearly, as for Xiao Yueming and Su Lan, they were automatically ignored in the past, and no one dared to stop the two of them with such a strong strength to lead the way.
It has attracted a lot of scrutiny, which is also the intention of the four saints of Gushan, although there are not a few people wearing hats and hoods here, but they are almost all lone warriors, like them, a line of six people dare not recognize people with their true faces, it is the only one, in order to avoid the inquiry of some curious people, revealing some cultivation that can deter Xiaoxiao, but does not attract the attention of those real masters, it is just right, and it can also reduce a lot of trouble.
In fact, just as the four saints of Gushan thought, the comfortable places in the town have been occupied, and several people came to a big tree, and several martial artists who were originally sitting here, seeing that the people who came were Xiao Yueming and others, hurriedly got up, nodded and slipped away.
Sitting cross-legged under a big tree, with a dense canopy to block the sun, it is also much better.
Su Lan and Xiao Yueming sat side by side, only to see that although this town seemed to be full of poverty and ruin, there were many small white flowers growing in the garden and the surrounding land of this family.
Seeing Su Lan's curious look through the hood, Xiao Yueming immediately spoke:
The name of this is Qionghua, which is drought tolerant and extremely tenacious, and the name of Qionghua Town should come from this. ”
Su Lan nodded slightly:
"If you want to come to the Qionghai mountains and forests, there must be many Qionghua. ”
At this time, not far from Xiao Yueming and his party, in a mud house, this earthen house looked very simple, the rough walls made of mud mixed with straw were uneven, and there was only a wooden table that was about to fall apart, and a suggested wooden bed, and the bed was covered with a piece of animal skin that could be seen from the past.
At this time, I saw a middle-aged monk with a white beard sitting on the wooden bed, and the monk had a nine-tin Zen staff flat on his knees, and saw that his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was pranayama.
And next to the wooden table that was about to fall apart, there were two people sitting around, one of them was dressed in ordinary linen clothes, but his appearance was a little handsome, it was Wu Xiong.
The other person's entire body was wrapped in a black robe, and he couldn't tell how he looked.
In front of the two of them was a simple map, which marked the general topography of the mountains and forests of Qionghai and the location of Qionghua Town.
