Located in the northernmost part of the Dongzhou Continent, the Beiling Mountain Range is a vast area composed of more than a dozen smaller mountain ranges, making it the largest mountain range on the Dongzhou Continent.

In various books, north of the Northridge Mountains is an endless sea. However, no one can actually cross the Northridge Mountains to the north side of the mountain range to see for themselves what is there.

The reason why humans cannot cross the Northridge Mountains is not only because of the large size of the Northridge Mountains and the difficulty of walking, but also because there are countless strange animals living in the mountains with extraordinary powers similar to those of warriors.

These strange creatures are as powerful as warriors, more ferocious, tougher, savage, bloodthirsty, and more intelligent and cunning than ordinary animals. The warriors called these strange animals ferocious beasts, which means extremely ferocious beasts. This also means that in the eyes of warriors, fierce beasts are no longer the same species as ordinary animals.

There are many legends about the Northridge Mountains, and there are even legends that show that there are Martial Saint-level beasts in the Northridge Mountains.

Of course, these are legends, and no one has been able to definitively prove whether they are true or false.

Si Jian Peak is located on a small branch of this mysterious and strange North Ridge Mountain Range, located to the south, which is the outer periphery of the North Ridge Mountain Range.

It is said that the Martial Saint Si Yijian was to facilitate himself to enter the Beiling Mountain Range at any time to find a powerful fierce beast to practice his sword, so he deliberately found a livable mountain peak on the outskirts of the mountain range to live in.

This mountain peak is naturally Sijian Peak.

Si Jianfeng originally had no name, and it was because Si Yijian settled in this mountain peak and lived there for decades that this mountain peak was slowly called Si Jianfeng by the world.

Si Jianfeng was located in the northeast of White Eagle City, separated by several small countries, and the distance between the two was farther than the distance from Qingyang City to White Eagle City.

After more than two months of traveling in the snow and wind, Murong Ye and his party finally came to the foot of Si Jianfeng.

Si Jianfeng is a lonely peak, which looks like a sharp sword with the tip of the sword upwards from a distance, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Si Yijian chose this mountain peak to settle down.

Si Yijian loves swords, has been immersed in kendo for decades, and is even more respected as a sword saint by the warriors who also make swords.

Because it was already dark at this time, Bai Yinyun did not rush to take Murong Ye to visit the mountain, but chose to camp at the foot of the mountain to rest for one night.

While the camp was set up, dinner was ready. Murong Ye and Bai Yinyun had just finished a few bites when the scout in charge of the guard suddenly came to the tent where they were to report it.

"Madam, young master, there is a person on Si Jian Peak who is running down the mountain at a very fast speed, and it is a woman who is visually seen. ”

Bai Yinyun was stunned for a moment, looked at the direction of Si Jianfeng through the door of the tent, and said: "It should be Si Jianfeng's people who found our traces and came to inquire about it, don't be rude, and directly invite that person to come over and talk." ”

Murong Ye didn't speak, he wouldn't speak arrogantly when Bai Yinyun was by his side. He also glanced at the door of the tent and found that Liu Lao didn't know when he came to the door of the tent.

Murong Ye's heart moved, obviously Liu Lao found out that the person who came down from Si Jianfeng was not bad, so he specially came to protect him and his mother Bai Yinyun. Judging from this, it is extremely likely that the person who comes is a great grandmaster and a strong person like Liu Lao.

Bai Yinyun and Murong Ye quickly settled the dinner, and as soon as the tableware was removed, the woman who came down from Si Jianfeng had already arrived at the door of the tent.

This woman was in her thirties, expressionless, tall, and mediocre in appearance, and a long sword with a sheath on her back added a fierce momentum to her.

The woman walked to the door of the tent, glanced at Liu Lao on the side, entered the tent directly, and said slightly: "Si Jianfeng Si Yijian Seat disciple, Han Yuli has seen you, I don't know what advice you have when you come to our Si Jianfeng?"

Han Yuli went straight and straight, and there was no hint of subtlety in his speech.

Bai Yinyun also bowed his hand and said: "I have seen Si Jianfeng's high feet, and under Bai Yinyun, this is Xiaoer Murong Ye." We are members of the Murong family of the Eastern Empire, and we have come to ask to see Lord Martial Saint. ”

Bai Yinyun is younger than Han Yuli, she originally wanted to call Han Yuli her sister or senior, but considering that Murong Ye's apprenticeship would call Han Yuli her senior sister, this generation would be messed up, so she just called it "Si Jianfeng's high feet".

Actually, Bai Yinyun also thought about calling Han Yuli a girl, but she didn't know whether Han Yuli was married or not, so she also ruled out the titles of Miss Han and Mrs. Han.

When Murong Ye introduced him to Bai Yinyun, he also bowed to Han Yuli decently. Han Yuli glanced at Murong Ye, still expressionless, unable to see likes or dislikes.

"The master is in retreat to practice kendo, and he has not seen any guests for the time being. I wonder if you can explain what you want to see the master?"

Bai Yinyun had no choice but to take out the letter of recommendation written by Mrs. Tai and Bai Wuji and hand it to Han Yuxuan, saying, "We are here to ask Lord Wusheng to accept Xiao'er as an apprentice, so that Xiao'er can have the honor to practice swordsmanship under the adult's door. I have two letters from the Martial Saint's old acquaintance, and I would like you to ask you to pass them on. ”

Bai Yinyun originally wanted to hand over the two letters directly to Si Yijian, but now in this case, she had no choice but to retreat and let Han Yuli hand them over.

Han Yuli took the two letters, and after finding that the envelopes were written with the words "Senior Brother Initiated", he had a general judgment on the identity of the person who wrote the letter.

As a disciple of Si Yijian, Han Yuli has been practicing swords with Si Yijian since he was a child, and he still knows Si Yijian's communication very well.

After thinking for a while, Han Yuli nodded and said, "Okay, I'll transfer it." ”

After Han Yuli finished speaking, he arched his hand to Bai Yinyun and turned around and left directly, without any delay.

Since Han Yuxuan didn't say that he would let Murong Ye and Bai Yinyun follow them up the mountain, nor did he say when Si Yijian would summon Murong Ye, Bai Yinyun could only decide to wait for news in this camp.

But what Bai Yinyun didn't expect was that they waited for three days.

For three days, no news came from Si Jianfeng.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Bai Yinyun finally couldn't wait any longer, and decided to take Murong Ye directly up the mountain to ask to see Si Yijian.

Xiao Yue and Xiao Ya were left in the camp by Murong Ye, and the situation on Si Jian Feng was unknown, so Murong Ye naturally couldn't take Xiao Ya with him as an unstable factor, so as not to increase the variables. As for Xiao Yue, who is powerless, it is naturally safer to stay in the camp.

For the same reason, when Murong Ye entered White Eagle City in disguise, he also didn't bring Xiao Ya and Xiao Yue.

To this day, Murong Ye's vigilance against Xiaoya has not relaxed in the slightest. He has even figured out how to completely solve Xiaoya's hidden danger.

After all, if Murong Ye's apprenticeship was successful, he would need to stay in Si Jianfeng to learn swords, and it would not be appropriate to leave Xiao Yue and Xiao Ya to wait for him at this time. Therefore, Xiaoya naturally had to follow Bai Yinyun to return to Dongfang City, the imperial capital of the Eastern Empire. Let Xiaoya follow his mother, he is absolutely not at ease.

The road up the mountain is wide and flat, and the carriage can pass smoothly.

Bai Yinyun, Murong Ye, and all the forty female guards and personal guards climbed the mountain together, all of them rode horses, and at the same time drove ten carriages.

In addition to the marching materials, Murong Ye and the others brought more than a dozen wagons from Dongfang City, several of which were gifts for Mrs. Tai and Murong Qingyin's family, and a few were items such as food and clothing for Murong Ye and Bai Yinyun and others.

The remaining ten carriages were the ten that they brought to Si Jianfeng, and what was placed in them was the apprenticeship ceremony prepared for Si Yijian. There were some gold and silver possessions, as well as some special metals used to craft weapons.

Regardless of whether the apprenticeship is successful or not, these gifts need to be given first.

On a flat open space beside the road halfway up the mountainside of Sijian Peak, more than a dozen wooden houses are faintly visible.

When Murong Ye and the others came to the vicinity of the clearing, they found Han Yuli standing quietly on the side of the road waiting for them, as expressionless as before.

And in the wooden house, there were a few people dressed as servants, who were busy going back and forth, and they didn't even glance at Murong Ye and the others, without a trace of curiosity.

The team stopped not far in front of Han Yulian, and everyone turned over and dismounted. Bai Yinyun walked a few steps and came to Han Yuli to bow his hand.

"I entered without being invited, and set foot on Si Jian Peak without permission, please forgive me. In fact, he didn't wait for the call of the Martial Saint for three days, and he couldn't bear it, so he had to come and ask for a meeting. ”

Han Yuli nodded lightly and said, "I have already put the two letters in front of the door of the master's retreat together with the meal, and I think the master will be out of the customs in the next few days." ”

Si Jianfeng didn't have news for three days, and Bai Yinyun had already begun to suspect that Si Yijian might be using the retreat as an excuse to postpone not seeing them, so he had to climb the mountain in person today to ask for a meeting. However, after listening to Han Yuxuan's words, she found that Si Yijian seemed to be really in retreat.

Bai Yinyun paused and asked, "Dare to ask, can we wait here for Lord Martial Saint to come out?"

Han Yuli nodded indifferently and said, "Yes." ”

After Han Yuli finished speaking, he looked at the more than a hundred guards behind Bai Yinyun and Murong Ye, and continued: "However, they disturbed the peace of Si Jian Peak, and they couldn't spend the night on Si Jian Peak. ”

Bai Yinyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Murong Ye with some hesitation. She naturally wanted to wait for Si Yijian to come out of the customs on Si Jianfeng, but without a guard by her side, she was not worried about Murong Ye's safety.

As if seeing Bai Yinyun's hesitation, Han Yuli said lightly: "Madame doesn't have to worry about the safety of your son, no one in our Si Jianfeng dares to act recklessly." ”

Bai Yinyun was naturally still a little worried, but when she thought about it, if Murong Ye apprenticed, he would have to stay in Si Jianfeng alone, which was not much different from the current situation. And in the final analysis, even if someone really wanted to make a move before Murong Ye's apprenticeship was successful, Si Jianfeng's people should not sit idly by. Moreover, there was also her, a martial artist in the early stage of the grandmaster, who followed Murong Ye to guard closely.

In general, even if the guards are not there, Murong Ye's safety in Si Jianfeng is guaranteed enough.

Thinking of this, Bai Yinyun finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind, and said, "Since this is the case, our mother and son will be bothered." ”

Han Yuli nodded, and was about to walk up the mountain, obviously she didn't live in this wooden house.

These more than ten wooden houses are the residences of Si Jianfeng's miscellaneous servants and outsiders.

The reason why Si Jianfeng has miscellaneous servants is because Si Yijian and several apprentices are dedicated to the sword, and they are addicted to kendo enlightenment every day, and they naturally need some people to take care of food and housing.

These miscellaneous servants were orphans picked up by Si Yijian, and their kendo talent was too low, so they were not accepted as disciples by Si Yijian. Therefore, they can only do some chores for Si Yijian's master and apprentice to take care of their lives. Of course, they learned some rough swordsmanship from Si Yijian, and they also have a certain amount of martial arts cultivation.

Seeing that Han Yuli was about to leave, Bai Yinyun hurriedly said, "Excuse me, I don't know where to put the gift I brought for Lord Martial Saint?"

Han Yuli didn't reply, and said lightly: "Just put it here, and wait for the master to come out of the customs before making a decision." ”

In this way, Bai Yinyun and Murong Ye stayed in Si Jianfeng.
