Yingzhou is located in the east of Kanglong County, west of the Wuling Mountains. To the south is the territory of Xuzhou. The Guanglu Mountains in the Wuling Mountains extend from the southeast to the central part of Yingzhou. Guanglu Mountain, south of Xuzhou Dongshi Mountain, north slope is a large area of lush forest. It's remote and inaccessible, and it's dozens of miles away from the nearest village.

In Guanglu Mountain, there is also a sect of cultivating immortals - Mangjing Sect. Although the Mangjing Sect is not as powerful as the Taiqing Sect in Kanglong County, it is also a medium-sized sect. Yingzhou, Xuzhou, which are closer to Guanglu Mountain, and Dangzhou in the north of the mountain, as well as Yanzhou in the west of Yingzhou, and other places, there are also many people who worship Mangjing Sect to cultivate immortals every year.

Mangjingzong knew that the status of the Taiqing Sect was unshakable, so he had been friends with the Taiqing Sect since the establishment of the sect. The sect master of Mangjing Sect Lu Runquan and Yu Ruijiang of Taiqing Sect were old acquaintances, and this time Yu Ruijiang ordered the four apprentices to go down the mountain, and they went to Mangjing Sect to give the immortal sword that he had forged a few days ago - Huating Sword to Sect Master Lu Runquan.

Yu Ruijiang's casting level is quite good, and the quality of the Huating Immortal Sword is of the highest grade. A medium-sized sect like Mangjing Sect is not as good as the Taiqing Sect, Lu Runquan has just entered the early stage of annihilation not long ago, and this Huating Immortal Sword is a congratulatory gift from Yu Ruijiang to Lu Runquan.

Since there are not many immortal cultivators in the Mangjing Sect, there is a lack of high-quality immortal swords. Yu Ruijiang gave the Huating Sword as a gift, which was equivalent to doing Lu Runquan a big favor, and he just didn't have the top-grade fairy sword in his hand. Because Yu Ruijiang is quiet by nature, and wants to break through the silence and reach the Mahayana realm as soon as possible, he asked a few apprentices to run on behalf of him for such trivial things as sending swords. Guanglu Mountain is not far from Xuzhou, and by the way, you can also let Tianxiao and Tianyao go home to visit relatives.

After more than half a year of cultivation, Tianxiao and Tianyao have reached the middle stage of the Qing Ling, but they are still unable to fly with their swords. After descending the mountain, the two of them were Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe respectively with the sword, and quickly flew towards Yingzhou. This is the second time the brothers have flown and they are much bolder. Looking down at the floating clouds and the vast mountains and rivers under their feet, the two of them were excited.

"Mountains and rivers, vast China. I didn't expect that when I looked at the Wuling Mountains from a high altitude, they were so vast and majestic, and the Qinxue River was so majestic and magnificent. Tianyao sighed.

The Wuling Mountain Range, to the south and north, is endless, like a dragon lying on the Qinglong Continent. And the Qinxue River, the waves are magnificent, the waves are surging, with a vast atmosphere, rushing all the way to the west.

"I miss my Qinglong Shenzhou, which is incomparably vast. Since ancient times, countless people have been nurtured. The Great War of Immortals and Demons more than 500 years ago devastated the land of Shenzhou. Now that the war has passed, the scars have disappeared, and the Qinglong Continent has long since returned to its original appearance, the swords and swords of the past only exist in the records of the books......" Han Mingfei, who was intoxicated with reverie, said.

Hearing this, Tianxiao thought to himself: "Immortal and demon war...... Blade Demon ...... Go home this time, and quietly bring the Tengma knife back to the bamboo garden by the way. ”

The four of them fly with edgeworthies during the day and recover from meditation at night. When I flew to the territory of Yingzhou, it was noon three days later. The four of them decided to rest in Yingzhou City for a while before heading to Mangjingzong.

Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe took the fairy sword and inserted it into the sword holster made of hard canvas behind them. Unlike mortal swords, fairy swords can glow, so immortal cultivators use opaque and strong canvas to make sword covers, even in battle, the canvas sword covers hanging on the back will not affect the body movements.

The four of them came to a restaurant called "Zuixian Building" in the bustling area of the city, chose a table by the window on the second floor, and drank tea while watching the endless flow of people on the street below.

Tianxiao and Tianyao have never descended the mountain since they entered the sect, and when they saw so many people, they were inevitably excited and looked curiously at the various stalls on the street.

"Xiao Er, as usual, come to the altar of good drunken waves. At the table next to him, five or six people sat down.

Drunken Haibo, is a famous wine produced in Kanglong County, sweet and strong, mellow and clear, in the entire Qinglong Continent is also very famous, so the price is not cheap, so those who can afford to drink drunk Haibo must be rich people.

Among the people at the table was a young man in a white shirt, with a bun on his head, two strands of flowing hair hanging down from his temples, and a long sword with a silver-white hilt on his back, the body of which was not in the sword's holster. The whole person looks chic and handsome, and his aura is extraordinary.

After the drunken Haibo was served, the people next to him scrambled to toast the man in white, and it seemed that he had the highest status in the group. The man in white took the wine glass handed by a person next to him, and when he raised his head to drink, he inadvertently glanced at Tianxiao, Tianyao and other four people at the table next to him. All four of them were wearing long robes of the same color, and at a glance they knew that they were disciples of a certain sect.

The man in white saw Tang Junhe, who was looking downstairs with his cheeks on his cheeks, and his eyes lit up. Purple robe, white trim, white belt, plus long flowing hair, curved willow eyebrows, big watery eyes, sharp nose, ruddy lips, an out-and-out beauty. In addition, immortal cultivators absorb the aura of heaven and earth day and night, and their bodies always reveal an elegant temperament.

The man in white immediately stood up, walked to the table of the four, and arched his hand in a dashing manner: "I have seen four Taoist friends, I don't know which sect you come from? What is the matter with my Yingzhou City? I am Hua Qiwei, a disciple of the Mangjing Sect, and I am very familiar with the Yingzhou terrain, so I may be able to help you." He said polite words in his mouth, but his eyes looked up and down Tang Junhe unceremoniously.

Han Mingfei knew at a glance that this Hua Qiwei was a drunkard who did not mean to drink, so he was bored, and replied coldly: "What sect we are from, what we are doing in Yingzhou has nothing to do with Daoyou, and we don't need your help, thank you for your kindness, I understand." ”

Among the few people at the table next to him who were looking at this side, one of them immediately slammed the table and shouted: "Presumptuous! dare to ...... our young master."

Na Hua Qiwei was not angry, waved his hand, and let the person behind him stop talking, and persuaded with a smile behind him: "When you go out, why should you be so cold to the kindness of others? In Yingzhou, I can still speak in my capacity. I don't know what to call this girl?"

"Second Senior Sister, this guy has taken a fancy to you, and he is very noisy here, don't you want to drive him away?" Even Tianxiao could see that Hua Qiwei had ulterior motives, so he was unceremonious.

Tang Junhe smiled, patted Tianxiao's head, and then said to Hua Qiwei: "Master Hua, how your Mangjingzong's prestige in Yingzhou has nothing to do with us. Again, we don't need your help, and I ask you to stop harassing us. With a sweep of her spiritual sense, she saw that Hua Qiwei was just a newcomer to the realm of harmony, and she couldn't look down on such a pompous man at all.

The so-called spiritual consciousness is to use one's own spiritual power as a guide to use the aura of heaven and earth to feel the subtle changes in things in one's body. In the process of cultivating immortals, as the realm of cultivation becomes more and more profound, the scope of spiritual consciousness becomes larger and larger. This is much clearer and more detailed than feeling it directly with the senses, so a person with a high level of cultivation can use his spiritual sense to detect the realm of a person with a low level of cultivation.

Han Mingfei immediately added coldly: "Don't beat my junior sister's idea, you don't deserve it at all." ”

When Hua Qiwei heard this, his face turned red and white for a while, and he became angry: "I, Hua Qiwei, have never been so polite to others, I really don't know what to do! I don't care what kind of sect disciple you are, in Yingzhou City, that is my Hua family has the final say! You dare to speak disrespectfully to me, see that I don't ......" As he said this, he moved his hand and grabbed Han Mingfei's neck fiercely. It seems that he is usually arrogant and domineering, how can he ever stand such a snub.

Han Mingfei's eyes narrowed, he reached out and grabbed Hua Qiwei's wrist, and said sharply: "Why, do you still want to do anything to us in broad daylight?"

Hua Qiwei suddenly had a spirit, and quickly dispersed his spiritual sense, and was stunned on the spot. Because he couldn't see Han Mingfei's realm at all, even Tang Junhe, who he liked, couldn't see it either, which showed that the cultivation realm of the two of them was higher than him.

It's no wonder that Hua Qiwei was excited when he saw a peerless beauty, and when he saw two children beside the two, he naturally relaxed his guard and forgot about the realm at all. And he didn't know that the purple robe with white trim was the clothing of the disciples of the Taiqing Sect, if he knew, maybe he wouldn't be so careless.

Han Mingfei's face was full of disdain, and he shouted in a low voice: "Get out!" and then raised his hand violently, knocking Hua Qiwei to the ground.

Hua Qiwei's face was extremely ugly, and he got up and shouted to the people behind: "Let's go!" When he walked to the staircase, Hua Qiwei glanced sideways at the four people who were still drinking tea and resting by the window, and a trace of viciousness flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"I think you better hurry up! You don't know, that person just now is the young master of the Hua family. The Hua family's power in Yingzhou is very great, and if you don't leave, you will suffer in a while. A person at the wine table next to him kindly reminded.

"Is that Hua family very powerful? We are immortal cultivators, and we are not afraid of ordinary martial arts practitioners. "Tang Junhe didn't take the Hua family to heart at all.

The kind-hearted man shook his head and sighed: "This girl, you are wrong, the Hua family's immortal cultivators are not just Hua Qiwei. Not only is the Hua family a large number of people and a group of guards, but most of the main figures and guards in the family are disciples of Mangjing Sect, which is why they are so strong. In fact, he didn't know how powerful the sect represented by the purple clothes worn by the four people.

The power of Mangjing Sect is far less strong than that of Taiqing Sect, so he simply accepts more disciples. In such a large sect as the Taiqing Sect, the purpose of accepting disciples is to be few and fine, and the introductory disciples are all outstanding, one in a hundred. An ordinary sect like Mangjing Sect has many and miscellaneous disciples, good and bad, and relies on the number of people to strengthen the sect. The Hua family has a large population, and it is next to Guanglu Mountain, so the main figures in the family worship the Mangjing Sect to cultivate immortals in order to prolong their lives.

Tang Junhe looked at Senior Brother, and Han Mingfei said, "It's okay. Hurry up and leave this place after sending the fairy sword to Mangjing Sect. Although we are not afraid of the Hua family, it is better to have fewer rights and wrongs. So, the four of them got up and left the Drunken Immortal Tower.

The four of them just left on the front foot, and Hua Qiwei went back with many helpers on the back foot. Those helpers were all immortal cultivators in the family. After looking for the four people, he lost his temper indiscriminately, flipped the table and smashed the bowls, and left angrily. The shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building dared not speak out, for fear of offending the Hua family, the head snake of Yingzhou City.

The four of them flew to Guanglu Mountain and landed in the open space in front of the mountain gate of Mangjingzong. Two white-clothed disciples stood guard in front of the door, and one of them shouted, "Who dares to take the sword in the sky above my Mangjing Sect?"

Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe looked embarrassed. In fact, Mangjing Sect only has a small Sect Protector Array, and the size is just enough to protect the inner courtyard of the sect, which is not as wide as the Taiqing Sect's Sect Protector Array. However, there is an unwritten rule in the immortal cultivation world: most sects are not allowed to use the sword in the sky, first, this is impolite, and second, to prevent someone from maliciously doing evil. Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe had not left Tiandao Mountain for many years, and they forgot this rule for a while.

Tang Junhe hurriedly apologized: "This fellow Daoist, we are disciples of the Taiqing Sect. This time I was ordered by the master to go down the mountain, and I came to your sect for the first time, and I forgot the rules, so please forgive me. The four of us have something to ask to see Sect Master Lu, and I am tired of reporting it. ”

"Taiqing Sect...... Ah, Taiqing Sect, you wait here first. With that, the disciple galloped into the mountain gate. The name of the Taiqing Sect is known to everyone in Kanglong County. It's just that this gatekeeper disciple has only been cultivating for a short time, and like Hua Qiwei, he doesn't know that the purple shirt and white-edged clothes are the symbol of the disciples of the Taiqing Sect. Now that he knew the identities of the four people, his tone immediately became polite.

After a while, a short and fat middle-aged man strode out of the sect, and after seeing Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe, he smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "It turned out to be Mr. Yu's two senior disciples, and the disciples guarding the door are ignorant and snucker, and they still look at Haihan." "This person is Lu Runquan, the sect master of Mangjing Sect, when he went to Taiqing Sect to visit Yu Ruijiang before, he had seen Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe, so he knew it.

Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe hurriedly returned the salute. Han Mingfei said: "Sect Master Lu is serious. I waited for this time to come here on the orders of my master to give this high-grade Immortal Sword Pavilion to Sect Master Lu. ”

"Thank you Mr. Yu for your hard work in refining this sword, and Lu is grateful. Lu Runquan excitedly took the Huating sword, and suddenly saw Tianxiao and Tianyao behind Tang Junhe, so he asked: "I don't know who those two are......" Yu Ruijiang's conditions for accepting apprentices are strict, and he also knows. Seeing the sturdy figures of Tianxiao and Tianyao, he had vaguely guessed the identities of the two.

"This is my third junior brother and fourth junior brother, He Tianxiao and He Tianyao, who joined the sect in March. Han Mingfei replied.

"I've seen Sect Master Lu. Tianxiao and Tianyao bowed slightly to Lu Runquan.

"It turned out to be Mr. Yu's newly recruited apprentice, and sure enough, the hero is a young man, heh. Please also come with me to the sect to have a good rest. Lu Runquan warmly invited everyone.

Originally, Han Mingfei planned to leave immediately after handing over the sword, but Sect Master Lu was reluctant to refuse, and the four of them were inconvenient to refuse, so they had to follow him into Mangjing Sect.

"Who is the master of those four people, 'Mr. Yu'? He actually gave the sect master a high-grade immortal sword, and the sect master was so polite to his apprentice. The disciple asked another companion.

"I don't know. However, if you can cast a high-grade immortal sword, it seems that you should be a very powerful person in the Taiqing Sect. Top-grade immortal sword, if only I had one......" the disciple said enviously.

Swords are divided into two categories: mortal swords and fairy swords. The power of the mortal sword is almost the same, and the fairy sword is divided into six grades: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, good grade, best grade, and superb grade, and the peerless is the grade of the peerless fairy sword, with only eighteen in total. The high-grade fairy sword is already a rare good sword, and most of them are forged by people who have cultivated to a high level. The number of good fairy swords is scarce, and those who can cast them are all famous casting masters in the world, such as the pine pattern and Guding swords used by Tianxiao and Tianyao are at the level of good products. As for the best, it is even more rare, and only the great sects can collect the best fairy swords. For a small and medium-sized sect like Mangjing Sect, Sect Master Lu Runquan had been using a medium-grade immortal sword before.

After resting in Mangjing Sect for an hour, the four of them said goodbye and left. Lu Runquan personally sent a few people out of the mountain gate, and thanked him again: "It's really tiring to send the sword this time. Please also pass the word to Mr. Yu on your behalf, now that I am busy with the affairs of the sect, if I have leisure in the future, Lu will definitely go to the Taiqing Sect in person to thank you for the gift of the sword. After saying goodbye, Lu Runquan hurriedly returned to the sect and felt the newly acquired Huating Sword.

Tang Junhe looked at the beautiful scenery of Guanglu Mountain, and suddenly said: "Senior brother, two junior brothers, I will wait for the difficult time to become a sect, now that the things that the master has explained, Tianxiao and Tianyao don't have to rush home, why don't we slowly hike down the mountain, and then walk all the way to Xuzhou? ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao, who are already children's hearts, of course agreed, Han Mingfei saw that the three of them had this intention, so he said: "Since this is the case, it will be according to what you say." ”

No, these words were heard by a white-clothed young man inside the wall of Mangjing Sect. This person is none other than Hua Qiwei. He was practicing swords in Mangjing Sect in the morning, and suddenly felt greedy, so he went down the mountain into the city, gathered a few fox friends and dogs to go to the drunken immortal building to drink, and met Tang Junhe and other four people, which happened in the restaurant. Then, Hua Qiwei led people to retaliate unsuccessfully, so he returned to the sect depressed. Just now, he happened to see Lu Runquan sending a few people out of the mountain gate, and overheard the conversation just now, and he was overjoyed, thinking: "'There is no place to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.'" 'I was looking for you, and I didn't want to meet you here. I can't help it if you Edgeworth leaves, but you have to walk. Hmph, if you dare not give me face, you will definitely make you look good. ”

Hua Qiwei is so beautiful, he is usually used to being squirrel, and the Hua family is powerful in Yingzhou, so he always pursues beautiful women unscrupulously. Ordinary women can't escape the palm of Hua Qiwei in the realm of harmony, and afterwards, most of them are afraid of the majesty of the Hua family, so they have to swallow their anger. Hua Qiwei didn't know how many good family women he had harmed for many years. Now he is tired of ordinary fat powder, and he pointed the finger at the immortal woman. The people who cultivate immortals have an elegant temperament and a unique charm, so Hua Qiwei always pretends to be handsome and chic in front of the immortal women, and the immortal women who usually appear in Yingzhou are the disciples of the small sects, because of the power of the Hua family and the power of the Mangjing Sect, they have to pretend to deal with Hua Qiwei, but Hua Qiwei thinks that this is due to his own great charm, and he is even more happy. Of course, there are also immortal cultivators who disregard the shame and envy the wealth and power of the Hua family and voluntarily commit themselves to Hua Qiwei.

From Lu Runquan's words of thanks just now, Hua Qiwei learned that the four of them were disciples of the Taiqing Sect, and his eyes flashed. "It turned out to be a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, no wonder the cultivation is higher than me. But well...... Although I don't dare to blatantly find someone to kill you in public, but if I secretly get rid of you in a remote place, I don't think anyone will count on my head......" Thinking about it, Hua Qiwei showed a sinister smile on his face. He already knew that it was hopeless to pursue Tang Junhe, but he was too angry in his heart, and he refused to suffer losses, and he would naturally repay if he was snubbed. So he secretly followed the four of them down the mountain, and after they could enter the city, they quickly detoured to Washington.

Tianxiao and Tianyao accompanied their senior brothers and sisters to talk and laugh all the way, watched the scenery everywhere, and marched in the direction of Xuzhou. After going south from Yingzhou City, passing through some scattered villages and towns, gradually, the surrounding environment became more and more desolate. After walking for an hour, I didn't see a single figure. As you enter the hilly terrain, the road narrows and narrows, eventually forming a trail that rises and falls along the slopes of the hills. The four of them walked up a large slope and looked ahead of them into a mountain col, with a large dense forest at the lowest point, and the path just passed by the woods. The woods rustled under the cold wind, and there was silence, leaving only this sound. Although it was daytime, there were shadows in the depths of the trees.

Han Mingfei frowned, he had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, looking at the junior brothers and sisters who were laughing and chatting next to him, this feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. He wanted to remind the three of them to be vigilant, but before he could open his mouth, he suddenly heard a whistle, and at the same time, two figures jumped out of the woods.
