Chapter 229: Under the Mountain
The eyes of the warriors in Qionghua Town were all fixed on these six strange people who were dressed in linen robes and did not dare to show their faces, they still had some impressions of these people, after all, it was difficult not to be noticed by the strength they showed yesterday.
The crowd automatically gave way to a passage, and Xiao Yueming and the others slowly walked past the warriors and came to the bottom of the earthen house.
Shangguan Ceremonial stood on the roof in dark color, looking at the whole body covered by a linen robe in front of him, except for his different heights, he couldn't see any other obvious features.
Feeling Shangguan Liming's blatant scrow, Hu Wei, who was standing in the middle, bowed first and said:
"Shangguan Gongzi, I don't know what you are looking for us?"
After observing for a while, Shangguan Rite couldn't see any clues or differences:
"Six heroes, presumably you came to this Qionghai mountain forest at this time, but also for the ancient city, listen to Zhao Zhangmen said, your cultivation is strong, I don't know if you are willing to be the leader of this time, and Zhao Zhangmen together to lead the heroes, work together, so that you can get more benefits." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the warriors were in an uproar, and envy and jealousy rose in their hearts, and being able to be favored by Shangguan Etiquette was a dream thing for them.
Hu Wei flashed a little doubt in his heart, he didn't know what the thoughts of this Shangguan etiquette were, but at this time, in front of everyone's eyes, in the face of the solicitation of the dignified disciples of the Vientiane Palace, Hu Wei couldn't say no refusal, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.
Besides, it is not all bad to act together with Shangguan etiquette, with his shield, it can also save a lot of trouble, and it is more beneficial to hide your identity.
With his current identity in the third-rate realm, Hu Wei couldn't refuse, and saw him salute and thank him for the Shangguan ceremony:
"The villain thanked the four brothers for our trust. ”
Shangguan Yili nodded slowly, the other party surrendered without hesitation, and in his expectation, the handsome face showed a little doubt, he looked at the six people wrapped in linen robes, and asked:
"I don't know why the six heroes are covered by robes, is there anything unspeakable?"
"I can't help it, if I can get away with it, it will be great. ”
Faced with Shangguan Lili's inquiry, Hu Wei thought of a reason for explanation the moment he was called by Zhao Gang.
"Shangguan Gongzi doesn't know, the villain's sect is a little special, there are door rules, you can't show your true face outside, the family teacher also specially instructed us before going down the mountain, so that we don't show our faces, even these two carry with us, they are not allowed to show their faces in front of outsiders, you need to abide by the door rules, once you violate, after returning to the sect, you will be severely punished, I hope Shangguan Gongzi understands. ”
The rivers and lakes are huge, and there are many large and small sects, which are innumerable, so they have also derived all kinds of strange rules, similar to this kind of not allowing disciples to show their faces outside and say their real names, there are not a few in the rivers and lakes, some are afraid of showing their martial arts, and they will be hunted down by the enemy, and some are because of some other reasons, Hu Wei took a fancy to this, so that it would not make others suspicious.
The reason why Shangguan Yili communicated with these low-level martial artists was to find out the potential people, so that they could be cultivated in the future, and finally used them for his use, as for their stories, Shangguan Yili didn't want to hear them, and he didn't bother to understand them.
"Okay, the rules of the door are so, and it's inconvenient to ask more in the next place, since you are willing, you can cooperate with the head of Zhao, but don't let you down. ”
Listening to the appearance of this Shangguan etiquette high in front of him, Feihu held back the anger in his heart and had nowhere to vent, if it were not for the white lotus and Huangfu Lou to block, I am afraid that Feihu would have picked up his iron fist and slapped this kid's face into a bloody blur, so that he could know what it is to be outside the human body.
Hu Wei can be stable, after all, there are also first-class masters such as Gray Cloud present, the two sides can be said to have fought frequently in the early years, and they know very well, the four saints of the ancient mountain dare not show their flaws, in case they are seen through by Gray Cloud, once their identities are exposed, they will definitely be targeted by Daomen martial artists, and the treasures and cheats born in the ancient city this time will pass by.
Hu Wei's demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, and he immediately returned:
"It will definitely live up to the trust of the official son. ”
There were as many as eighty percent of the warriors present, and they all joined the team of Shangguan Rites, after all, the name of the Vientiane Palace was heavyweight, and as for the other people who chose to walk alone, Shangguan Rites did not stop them, but let them leave.
A group of warriors, like ants, walked out of Qionghua Town, heading towards the Qionghai Mountains and Forests in the distance, the breeze hit, blowing the hair in Shangguan Yili's ears, seeing him staring at the many warriors in front of him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
I saw Wang Jiangyuan, who was standing next to him, said:
"With these low-level martial artists who are weak in cultivation, this trip to the mountains and forests of Qionghai can be regarded as a bit interesting. ”
"It's still Brother Shangguan who is smart, so let these people gather together, and watch them fight for some trivial treasure cheats, fighting for the scalp bleeding, it's very fun. ”
As he spoke, he saw that Wang Jiangyuan immediately laughed a few times unscrupulously, the identity and status of the two of them are already the top existence in the rivers and lakes, it can be said that they want the wind to be windy, to rain and rain, ordinary things, and ordinary things will no longer make the two of them interested, because of this, Shangguan Etiquette came up with this method, so that these warriors can fight each other for the small profits they don't look down on, just like driving away aggressive crickets.
After leading all the warriors out of Qionghua Town, Shangguan Lili looked at the gray cloud beside him, and said in a respectful tone:
"Uncle Gray Cloud, let's go. ”
I saw that Gray Cloud nodded slightly, which was a response.
As the leader appointed by Shangguan Yili, Xiao Yueming and his party naturally walked at the front of the team with Zhao Gang, the gang leader of the Jinyuan Gate, only to see that Zhao Gang's eyes kept looking towards Hu Wei and the others, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but walk towards Hu Wei.
Slowly walked in front of Hu Wei, Zhao Gang immediately smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Brothers, we will all do things for Shangguan Gongzi in the future, and we have to take care of each other. ”
Feihu looked at Zhao Gang's extremely obscene smiling face, and finally couldn't help but scold:
"It's just you? When did Shangguan Etiquette see us in his eyes, and when he got out of this mountain, it was not certain whether he knew you or not. ”
When Zhao Gang heard this, his face also changed, he valued the cultivation of Hu Wei and others, thinking that he was also a pawn of Shangguan etiquette, and he could take care of each other, but he didn't expect that he would be in love with a cold ass, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
I saw Zhao Gang's eyes looking at Hu Wei, and Hu Wei, who was good at arguing and understanding words, looked at Zhao Gang and nothing, which made him, who has always loved face, a little annoyed.
For Zhao Gang's gaze, Hu Wei naturally saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't raise his eyes to deal with this person, just a top second-rate ant, Hu Wei can pinch one to death with one finger.
In front of everyone's eyes, seeing that none of Xiao Yueming's six people put themselves in their eyes, Zhao Gang's face was ugly, and at this time, a person walking in the back saw this scene, and hurriedly ran forward, and said flatteringly to Zhao Gang:
"In Xia Li Wu, the rivers and lakes are scattered, I have long heard of the prestige of the Zhao master, and at this time, he is favored by Shangguan Gongzi, and the future will definitely be bright!"
Someone recognized the look and came out to make a round, Zhao Gang looked at this Jianghu scattered man named Li Wu with satisfaction, and Tie Qing's embarrassed face was also relieved a little:
"Li Wu, right, you are a talent, just join me Jinmen, you have to do things well in the future, you know. ”
Li Wu's face immediately turned ecstatic, and when he saw him, he hurriedly thanked him:
"Thank you Zhao, thank you Zhao!"
This is a lot of opportunity for Li Wu, who lacks cultivation resources and is helpless, and with the support of the sect in the future, this life is much better.
Between Zhao Gang looked at Hu Wei and the others contemptuously, and after snorting coldly, he walked towards his own sect, where there was still a group of people who were ready to hug their thighs, waiting for flattery.
After what happened in Qionghua Town, Xiao Yueming and Zhao Gang obviously became the fragrant dumplings present, Xiao Yueming and the six were all dressed in linen robes, which seemed very mysterious, after coming out of Qionghua Town, no one talked to them, on the other hand, Zhao Gang's side was a lively scene, almost all the warriors went to Zhao Gang's camp, and Xiao Yueming and others were obviously isolated.
On the surface, this situation is not friendly to Xiao Yueming, but Hu Wei and the others are so happy, they can borrow the name of Shangguan etiquette, and there is no one else around to get in the way, but it is very convenient.
At this time, all the warriors are walking on a plain, Xiao Yueming looked around, only to see that the surrounding is a wide grassland, and in front, you can see the towering mountains, which are already very close to themselves, there are a few soft white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the blooming Qionghua is under your feet.
Hu Wei took out a simple topographic map from his bosom and saw him pointing to a ridge in the map:
"This is the highest point of the Qionghai mountain forest, we are here, we can see the whole picture, it is said that when the ancient city was born, it will be accompanied by a vision, and on this ridge, it will be found. ”
"Thinking about that, Zhao Gang also means this, so we will follow the army first, and wait until we reach the ridge. ”
