Since leaving Baiyunjin, Zhao Rong and his entourage have walked for another twenty years and entered a majestic mountain.

As you know, the name of the mountains here is called Zhongnan.

Zhongnan Mountain is located in the territory of Zhongnan Kingdom, and Zhongnan Country is not far from the Dadu that crosses Wangque Island from south to north, and it is only twenty or thirty years according to the distance traveled.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Rong and the three of them passed through a majestic mountain.

This mountain is very strange, look up, the south of the mountain, as if being flattened by a sword of the immortals, above the section, there are four characters carved in stone, the font is ancient, just like nature.

"Quiet and inaction. ”

Zhao Rong thought lightly.

"How did you engrave such a big word?" Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth in shock.

Zhao Rong is also an eye-opener, the cliff carved four characters, each word is as high as a thousand zhang, each stroke is not less than 100 meters, and the depth of the scale, from the angle of the mountain, is even more unreachable, can only vaguely see the green vines all over, dense grass and trees, from time to time a few birds and spirit beasts.

Although the territory of Zhongnan is small, most of it is located in this Zhongnan Mountain, but it enjoys a good reputation in dozens of countries around it, and even in the north of Wangque Continent, it is not low, it is called the country of Taoist priests and the hometown of hermits by the people on the mountain. ”

Liu Sanbian knew a lot about the situation in Zhongnan, because it was very close to his hometown of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Although there are many hermits in Zhongnan Mountain, there is only one Xianjia sect, which is located on Taibai Mountain, which is the only Taoist orthodoxy in Zhongnan, and the monarchs of Zhongnan have respected Chongxuguan as the national teacher, and the Taoism of this country is extremely prosperous. ”

As for its origin, there are different opinions, but Chong Xuguan has always claimed to be the handiwork of its first grandfather, if this is the case, then this ancestor is indeed towering to the sky. ”

"And it is rumored on the mountain that when someone passed by this cliff stone carving on a moonlit night, he met an old man in strange clothes at the bottom of the cliff, standing in the moonlight with his back hand and looking up, observing the stone carving, talking to himself, passers-by came forward to ask curiously, but the old man ignored it, and kept repeating a sentence in his mouth, 'What is inaction, why is nothing?' and whenever the dark clouds cover the bright moon, this strange old man disappears suddenly, and is never seen again. ”

"Some people speculate that this is a great opportunity, so there are many mountain people, with the 'Wu Zhi Question' of all kinds of book answers to try their luck, but this strange old man rarely appears on a moonlit night, even if a few lucky people meet, try a variety of answers, use a variety of methods, but there is no gain, this old man is still talking to himself in the same place, once the dark clouds cover the moon, it will disappear. ”

"As time passed, fewer and fewer people came to seek secrets, and they didn't pay attention to this matter. Some people on the mountain say that this is a boring person playing tricks, and others say that this is a projection left by some ancient power, looking for the successor of the inheritance. ”

"Until now, there are only a few young people who have just practiced and come running over with great longing to look for opportunities, and this matter no longer attracts the attention of the mountain. ”

"Brother Zhao, do you want to try it, we can rest at the bottom of the cliff for one night tonight. ”

Zhao Rong retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Liu Sanchang, who rarely spoke with some teasing, and smiled lightly. "Forget it, I haven't met so many people, how can my little brother have this kind of blessing. ”

Zhao Rong has always stayed away from things like luck and lottery, and will not take the initiative to touch them. Instead of trying to enrich himself, he entrusts his fate to ethereal luck, which makes him feel empty.

Besides, I have been practicing under the gentle teaching of Liu Sanbian these days, it is simply too comfortable, and I am now trembling on my legs and feet on a horse, if I am resting in the wilderness, I have to keep vigil, who can withstand this? Or hurry to the next continent city and find an inn to rest for a night.

"Hey, Zhongnan Mountain, this name is a little familiar, well, isn't it in Cangzhou?"

Zhao Rong's expression moved. "This is Zhongnanguo, what is Cangzhou, I didn't see this name in Yutu. ”

"In the impression of this seat, there is a place called Cangzhou in Wangque Zhou, because there is a Zhongnan Mountain here, it is one of the seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism, and the ranking is not low, the ancestral court of a certain line of Taoism seems to be here, let me think about it, by the way, it is the Louguan Taoist school. ”

"Brother Sanbian said that now the only Taoist immortal gate in Zhongnan Mountain is Chong Xuguan. ”

"Oh, it seems that this seat has been gone for too long, and it is already a human being, well, the aura here is not up to the standard of the blessed land now, if the Louguan Taoist sect has either moved away or has been destroyed, this once blessed land, now there is a mortal country, interesting, it stands to reason, the blessed land is generally occupied by the immortal sect as its own, how can mortals come in. ”

"Do you know this carving?"

"I don't know, I've never been here before, but this stone carving feels a little weird, but I can't see anything in this situation now. ”

Zhao Rong nodded, and just wanted to talk again, but noticed that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes.

"Hmm, bad...... Zhao Rong, if you can't do it, why don't you let Xiaoxiao try?" The little fox demon looked at Zhao Rong with a soft voice, but with some hope.

Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the qi bag next to him, and suddenly smiled. "Okay"

In the next second, he rewarded her with a few chestnuts.

Make her an afternoon dessert.

"Ahh

"Okay, you're Su Xiaoxiao. ”

"Don't knock!"

"Timid and ambitious. ”

"Whew, it hurts!"

"Do you think that when you take the opportunity, you will become a nine-tailed fox fairy in the seventh realm with a swish, and then peel off the skin and bones of this son to relieve the hatred in your heart?"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Zhao Rong bullied the little fox demon for a while, and then let her go.

How did you meet such a stupid little fox demon?

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her reddish forehead and looked at Zhao Rong aggrievedly, with tears in her eyes.

Well, grandma didn't seem to say how to deal with this situation......

After all, Su Xiaoxiao's grandmother never imagined that Su Xiaoxiao would meet a reader like Zhao Rong who does not follow the routine, so shouldn't you men first sweetly deceive the woman's heart, and then "bully" her?

"Don't think nonsense, let's hurry up, well, I'll tell you a new story in the evening, the story of Zhu'er was finished last time, and I remembered a story of Ying Ning again in the past few days, well, this is very interesting. ”

"Woo...... Hmmm? Really, is this time a happy ending? The last time I heard the story, Xiao Xiao was uncomfortable for several days. ”

"Well, you're satisfied with this package. ”

"Well, even if you have a conscience, I forgive you, don't let down Xiaoxiao again. ”

"Don't say such misleading things, cough, Brother Sanbian, don't pay attention to her. ”

"Hee-hee. ”

Su Xiaoxiao burst into tears and smiled, wiped her tears with her sleeve indiscriminately, and was very happy when she thought that there would be a story to listen to at night, and looked up at the bad guy next to her, and suddenly, her heart trembled.

His face was whiter than before, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Xiaoxiao just saw that it wasn't so serious.

"Are you alright?"

Su Xiaoxiao remembered what had happened in the past few days, before they would stop for a few days once they passed by villages or cities and other places to carry out "big exercises", Liu Sanbian would personally help Zhao Rong temper his physique, and when he was in a hurry, he would carry out "small exercises", and practice boxing and walking piles when he was stationed in the morning, noon and evening to rest.

At the beginning of the practice, it was better, but later, every time she "practiced", she could hear Zhao Rong's painful screams from afar, and the sound would be very loud at first, but the later it was, the quieter the voice, and it seemed that she had no strength to waste it in her throat anymore.

Those faint words also made Su Xiaoxiao's face pale

"This bone is too brittle, I'll rub it for you. ”

"Click!"

"Ahhh

"This bone has hardened, it seems that the medicinal bath is indeed effective, and the recovery is okay, but ...... It's not hard enough. ”

"Don't!"

"Click, click!"

"Ahh

"Get up! I can't stand this? Then I still advise you to give up quickly, there is no need for such a cowardly martial artist on the mountain, no, this is not worthy of being called a martial artist, this is waste!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look at it, he hid in the distance every time, covered his ears, and when there was no sound again, he got up and went to prepare a medicinal bath for Zhao Rong that could heal bones and muscles, these medicinal materials were carefully prepared by Liu Sanbian, if there was no it, Zhao Rong would probably be a waste.

And even if he doesn't usually have to "practice" on the road, he doesn't seem to have a good time, his face is bloodless, and he has to practice boxing whenever he has time, and he can't relax at all.

Every time, there is only a short period of time after the meal to rest, but she still has to tell her stories, in fact, she also said that he told him to rest and stop talking, but he always backhanded himself a chestnut. "You stupid fox demon, what are you worried about, this little pain is still eaten, you just listen to your story obediently, you can be happy at this time of the day, eh, where did you just talk about, what? You don't know? Head sticking out, I'm going to reward you with a few more chestnuts!"

But his hands have actually been clenched all the time because of too many boxing exercises, as if he can no longer open them.

Su Xiaoxiao thought of this, and her heart twitched slightly inexplicably.

Although Xiaoxiao doesn't know why you want to grit your teeth and cultivate like this, Xiaoxiao wants to help you, so I want to hit my luck and see if I can get the opportunity of this stone carving and give it to you. Well, you just need to tell Xiaoxiao a few more stories......

"Hey, what are you thinking, can you still be in a daze when you walk on the road? Hey, such a stupid fox demon, why hasn't he been caught yet, this world is too disappointing for my son. Zhao Rong stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Su Xiaoxiao, who was looking at him in a daze, and sighed when he saw that she had finally come back to her senses. "My son is fine. ”

There are only more than ten places on the body that hurt.

"Oh, give you a handkerchief and wipe the sweat. ”

"Where did you get the handkerchief?"

"I bought it in that county last time, and the embroidery on it looks good. ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Zhao Rong turned his head to see that it was an extremely ornately decorated carriage, driven by an old coachman, surrounded by many attendants on horses, and a group of people were galloping.

Zhao Rong turned around, didn't look at it anymore, and gave way to the side of the road with his companions.

Most of the territory of Zhongnan Kingdom, including the national capital, is in the territory of Zhongnan Mountain, and there are only two ancient roads into Zhongnan Mountain, which is one of the meridian roads, there are many pedestrians in the past, and Zhao Rong has even encountered a more exaggerated formation, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

It's just that when this gorgeous carriage passed by Zhao Rong and his party, the curtains were lifted by the people in the car and then suddenly lowered.

Zhao Rong turned his head vigilantly, but only the swinging curtain remained.

The mighty carriage was soon gone, and the road was quiet again, leaving only the dust kicked up.

Zhao Rong glanced at Liu Sanchang, who was also aware of the abnormality, and the latter shook his head, indicating that he didn't see anything clearly.

Uh, why do you feel like those guys are a little familiar?
