The Zhou State has a total of 21 cities and 19 counties, and the area is smaller than that of Fengguo, which has 36 cities and 12 counties.

However, the land of Zhou is fertile and the climate is refreshing, which is suitable for people to live. A deserted place like Liangcheng, one of the thirty-six cities of Fengguo, is almost impossible in the Zhou Kingdom.

Therefore, even if the area is inferior to Fengguo, Zhou Guoguo is strong and the people are rich, and the overall strength is even stronger than Fengguo.

The northwest of the Zhou Kingdom was occupied by Tianyuan County, one of the nineteen counties.

The largest part of the county is due to the fact that most of the county is a long stretch of mountains that have not yet been cultivated, with only a few small towns in the southeast.

After entering Tianyuan County, walk all the way to the west, and in two days you will be able to enter the deserted mountains and forests.

In the mountains and forests, you can sometimes hear birds chirping and ape cries, and if you are unlucky, you will also encounter fierce beasts such as leopards and black bears.

And in the deepest part of Tianyuan County, there is a mountain range that rises from the ground like a blade.

The mountain is surrounded by straight cliffs on three sides, but on one side it has a steep slope.

When the mountain breeze blows away the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, you will see buildings such as bamboo houses and lofts, looming.

And this is where the sect of the Arashiyama Sect is located.

Deep in the mountains, located on the cliff, the geographical location of the Lanshan Sect can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is unique, which is also the main reason why this sect chose this place back then.

The slope has a steep stone staircase that leads from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

If you go up the stone steps, you will see a gate more than ten zhang wide halfway up the mountain.

The gate is composed of three naturally formed irregular stone pillars, two of which are erected, and the other one is placed flat on the top of these two stone pillars, like a door plaque, on which the dragon and the phoenix dance are also carved with three big red characters of "Lanshan Sect".

After entering the mountain gate of the Arashiyama sect, there is a bluestone-paved street, and the shops are scattered on both sides, and many people can be seen coming in and out.

These shops come in different heights and sizes. Some are wine shops, some are cloth villages, and some are weapon shops, which can be described as varied, everything, like a small city. In the whole world, only a big sect like the Arashiyama Sect can have such a huge construction.

On this day, the figures of the three of Lu Hou appeared from under the stone steps, and they walked towards the Lanshan Sect on the mountainside, and soon the three of them stepped into the mountain gate and stepped into the bluestone street.

The name of Qingshi Street is called Qingshi Street, which is the only street in the Lanshan Sect, which is used for more than 1,000 people from the Lanshan Sect to exchange and purchase various items. Daily necessities can be found in Qingshi Street, and there is no need to step out of this mountain and go to other cities in Tianyuan County to exchange for them.

The bluestone street is not long, only more than 100 zhang before and after.

The three of them walked on the street, and from time to time someone would bow to Lu Hou, with respect in their eyes.

Interestingly, most of these people are in their thirties and forties, or even forty or fifty years old.

As for the more numerous young people, they turned a blind eye to the three of Lu Hou, obviously not knowing each other.

For these people's respectful salute or turn a blind eye, Lu Hou never squinted. Soon the three of them walked through the bluestone street and came to a five-way intersection.

The trio did not stop and continued along the leftmost path, and after passing through a dense bamboo forest, they embarked on a path built on the edge of a cliff.

The trail is almost built against the cliffs, with weeds on the right, and on the left, you can see a sea of clouds that stretches endlessly, and below the sea of clouds is a cliff.

The place was remote, and there were no buildings along the way, and the three of them walked for half an hour, and finally came to a wide, gentle place, with a lonely attic in front of them.

The attic door is closed, and only the wind chimes hanging from the four corners make a crisp and pleasant sound when they collide from time to time.

The tender green moss coming out of the cracks in the stone shows that this place must have been uninhabited for some time. And this place is the place where the three masters and apprentices of Lu Hou live and practice in the Lanshan Sect.

After arriving here, Beihe approached the attic, pushed the door open, and after scanning around that there was nothing abnormal, he turned sideways.

Lu Hou took the lead and stepped into it. Beihe and Modu followed behind him and closed the door casually.

For a moment, the attic fell silent again.

The residence of the three of them is not gorgeous and tall, but it is better to be clean, and few people will come on weekdays. Because Lu Hou is a person who doesn't like to deal with people, he chose this place.

After stepping into the attic, Mo Du placed the huge box he was carrying on a stone platform on the side of the main hall, while Bei He took off the package on his back and presented it with both hands.

Lu Hou only glanced at it, then stretched out his hand and grabbed the package presented by Beihe's hands in the air.

At this time, a strange scene appeared, only to see that at a distance of three feet, the package in Beihe's hand was actually sucked by Lu Hou and firmly grasped in the palm of his hand.

Ordinary people will inevitably lose their big teeth when they see this scene.

However, those who practice martial arts know that this is a stunt that only Void Realm martial artists have, and by operating the Gang Qi in the body, the palm produces a suction force. Something that is not too heavy can be taken in the air at a certain distance.

Beihe has been carrying this gray cloth package since he followed Lu Hou's side, but for more than ten years, he has never opened the package, let alone what it is.

He only knew that this package was very important to Lu Hou, far more important than him and Mo Du.

After getting the gray cloth package, Lu Hou walked towards the inner hall without looking back, and now that he returned to the Lanshan Sect, the only two things he had to do were to eat and practice.

Next, Beihe and Modu began to get busy again, and the two lit up the stone pillars and the copper lamps on the walls, making the dim attic bright.

Then he began to clean the house again, and in addition to wiping the dust away, he was also busy boiling water and making tea.

After a long while, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the sect, they didn't need to stay with Lu Hou an inch, but only one person stayed by his side and sent him at any time, while the other person was relatively free.

Beihe and Modu have always been on rotation, and the two of them stayed in the attic for a day, waiting for Lu Hou to send them at any time.

After such a long journey, even if they were in good health, they seemed a little tired.

The two glanced at each other, and Beihe looked at Mo Du with his chin raised.

Although Mo Du is a fool, he knows that it is the senior brother who asked him to rest first, and he will be guarded here for the time being.

Mo Du grinned, habitually showed a mouthful of white teeth, shook his head, and said to let Beihe go first.

Beihe sighed, although this junior brother is a fool, his heart is very transparent. Master Lu Hou is a cold-blooded murderer, but his relationship with Mo Du is like a brother.

He knew that he couldn't resist this foolish junior brother, so he nodded, and then walked towards the side hall, ready to sleep well, to sweep away the fatigue of months.

Seeing that after he entered the side hall, Mo Du walked and came to a chair next to the main hall, sat down with a golden sword, his honest expression disappeared from his face, his eyes became sharp, and he glanced around, as if no matter what approached, he had to pass his pass first.

......

Beihe slept quite soundly this night, after all, now that he returned to the Lanshan Sect, he could let go of his guard and fall into a deep sleep.

After five hours of sleep, he finally woke up.

Then he opened the door and found that the skylight overhead was pitch black, and it seemed that it was already dark. Mo Du was still sitting upright in his chair, his eyes blazing. So Beihe looked at the foolish junior brother and smiled slightly.

Just when he was about to replace the foolish junior brother and let Mo Du go to rest, the latter glanced at the attic door.

Seeing this, Beihe frowned, and the word "Chuan" appeared between his eyebrows.

He stepped forward and pulled open the door to the attic. By the light of the stars, he saw a lean man in a short hexagram standing outside the door.

The man was about thirty years old, with a short beard, a resolute countenance, and a broadsword a foot wide on his back, with a thick hilt emerging from his shoulder.

Although the man did not look strong, the muscles under his short hexagram were tense, giving people a feeling of strength, and facing this person was like facing a vigorous cheetah.

The lean man's eyes were red and bloodshot, so that at first glance, it was not a good stubble.

The moment he saw this person, Bei He recognized that he seemed to be a disciple of an elder sitting down in the Lanshan Sect, but he couldn't remember which elder it was for a while.

"This senior brother, I don't know what to advise. Out of courtesy, Beihe looked at him and arched his hand.

"Dare to ask, this is Senior Brother Beihe!" The lean man also bowed back.

"Yes, it's down there. "North River Road.

"I am Elder Yan Hong of the Lanshan Sect and sat down with the eldest disciple Yan Jun, and I specially came to visit Senior Brother Beihe this time, and I hope that Senior Brother Beihe can go with Yan. Only the lean man spoke.

Hearing this, Bei He didn't answer for a while, but the word Sichuan between his eyebrows resurfaced, and then he looked at the lean man named Yan Jun and said, "Dead again?"

Hearing his words, Yan Jun nodded solemnly.

"Who, how long. Beihe asked.

"The family teacher Yan Hong has been for more than a month. Yan Jun's answer was also very concise.

When he heard that the dead person was Yan Jun's master, the Lanshan Sect elder Yan Hong, Beihe was really surprised, it was a master who had just broken through to the virtual realm.

At this time, he finally understood why Yan Jun's eyes were bloodshot, and whoever his master died, the disciple might not be able to sleep well.

For a while, he didn't leave with this person immediately, but turned around and looked at the foolish junior brother behind him.

When he turned around again, he looked at Yan Jun and said, "Since they have been dead for a month, they are not in a hurry, they will go with Senior Brother Yan Jun tomorrow morning." ”

Saying that, Beihe was about to close the gate.

"Bang!"

But at this moment, Yan Jun's calloused palm grabbed the crack of the door.

Bei He raised his head and met Yan Jun's bloodshot eyes through the crack in the door.
