Volume 1: Forsaken Land Chapter 25: Qinglingmen

"It's ......"

In the ground that was blown up, a long knife with a length of more than a zhang was lying quietly in the pit, Kong Laosan remembered clearly, this knife was the one that Zhao Hengdao was carrying on his back, and when he first saw it, Kong Laosan secretly wondered why Zhao Hengdao didn't receive this item in the storage bag.

Taking the long knife into his hand, Kong Laosan only felt that his arm sank, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, the long knife in front of him was a foot long, almost twice the size of his body, and the scabbard was simple and dull, it seemed to be sewn from some kind of animal skin, and I don't know what metal was added to it, which seemed a little dark.

Compared with the scabbard, Kong Laosan's gaze stayed more on the hilt, and there was a faint black light lingering around it, and some runes were printed on it, which looked very weird.

Kong Laosan thought about it and pulled the knife out of the sheath, but the next moment, the corners of Kong Laosan's mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile, the long knife in front of him turned out to be a broken knife, as if it had been broken from the middle with great force, and only half of it was left.

The runes on the knife are dense, it seems to be some kind of formation or something, but now it is useless, Kong Laosan sighed lightly, originally thought that he had picked up some treasure, but now it seems that it is just a discarded thing with some chicken ribs.

Kong Laosan thought about it, and was just about to put away the broken knife, when the black crystal grimace that was originally around his side suddenly became restless, and his empty eyes stared at the broken knife in Kong Laosan's hand, and there was a rare look of horror on his face.

Seeing this scene, Kong Laosan's movements in his hand stagnated slightly, and he looked at the trembling grimace on his side, and finally his eyes fell on the broken knife in his hand again, and after thinking about it, a trace of gray suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a faint wisp of divine power extended from the center of his eyebrows and spread towards the knife.

However, at the moment when the power of divine thought touched the blade, there was a strange spiritual fluctuation on the knife body, this spiritual power was extremely huge, and under the shock, it even bounced the palm of Kong Laosan's hand holding the handle directly, and with a "bang", the broken knife that was not light fell to the ground again, and a cloud of dust bounced. Sensing this scene, Kong Laosan's face became a little cloudy.

"Something of the Lord?!"

Although I don't know what the quality of this broken knife in front of me is, it must not be a mortal thing just from the outside, but the spiritual power attached to it is condensed and not dispersed, it is obviously a thing with an owner, and the owner has not died, so this situation will appear. If the power of the divine mind is strong enough, it can be used if the spiritual power on it is forcibly erased, and it can be used for a new sacrifice, but the current Kong Laosan obviously does not have such strength.

After thinking about it, Kong Laosan was a little uncertain for a while, and kept thinking about it in his heart, this broken knife is very likely to be entrusted by someone to put it here in Zhao Hengdao, if he takes it for himself, when the owner of the knife finds himself, wouldn't he have confirmed the fact that he killed Zhao Hengdao? Judging from the degree of spiritual fluctuations emanating from the knife, this person's strength is likely to have reached the level of building a foundation, if so, wouldn't he have thrown himself into the net?

However, if Zhao Hengdao found this thing from somewhere, he would return it when the visitor looked for it, and maybe he could still make the other party owe a favor.

After a full cup of tea, Kong Laosan sighed in his heart, after all, he still couldn't take the risk, but Kong Laosan also had a thought in his heart, hiding this knife in the pit, filling it with sand, and if there was nothing to do after a while, he would come back to find it again.

After the matter in front of him was dealt with, Kong Laosan looked at the Yin Soul Banner in his hand, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Since this Yin Soul Banner can't be brought into Qinglingmen, it can only be buried on the spot or sent back to Yu'er City and let the Water and Salt Gang take care of it, but this place is extremely far away from Yu'er City, and it will take at least a month and a half to come and go, Kong Laosan smiled bitterly, and could only reluctantly give up this idea, and his eyes kept patrolling around.

The old trees in front of me are about the thickness of an adult's waist board, except for the lush branches and leaves, they are inconspicuous among the dozens of old trees around. After measuring it with his hand, a look of satisfaction flashed on Kong Laosan's face.

Jumping slightly, it landed directly on the canopy, thought about it, spread out the flag, Kong Laosan's lips moved, and the face of a beautiful girl on it loomed, and I didn't know what Kong Laosan explained, the girl nodded, and then disappeared into the black banner again.

The copper rod and black flag in his hand were inserted directly from the top of the tree, and it was not until the whole copper rod and black flag were completely submerged in the trunk that Kong Laosan could not stop, and after making an inconspicuous mark on the old tree, he turned around and left.

==========================

Mushui, one of the three major rivers of Qin, stretches for thousands of miles from east to west, running through the entire land of Qin.

It has been recorded in the historical documents of the Qin State that Mushui, as one of the origins of civilization, has had three large-scale floods, destroying fields and plundering land, causing the displacement of tens of millions of ordinary people.

Even so, as a people who have lived by bathing in water for generations, they are still full of gratitude for this mother river.

In the southwest of Mushui, one of the 260 state capitals of Qin, the Qingzhou River section, there is a small village called Mujiazhuang, the whole village is only more than 300 households, and every family takes the word "Mu" of Mushui as their surname, and lives by fishing in Mushui, which has been the case for generations.

The village is not big, the folk customs are simple, every year on the second day of February, the villagers of the whole village will consciously gather on the shore of the water, and worship to the Qingfeng in the distance on the opposite bank, hoping that the gods who live on the Qingfeng will bless the village with smooth wind and rain, and there will be more than one year after another.

This kind of sacrificial habit has been passed down from generation to generation, starting from the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, has lasted for nearly three thousand years, not to mention, when Mushui flooded the land three times, the villagers of Mujiazhuang escaped the three catastrophes in a daze, and the whole village was not damaged at all, which can not help but make people amazed.

It's just that the villagers of Mujiazhuang don't know that on the other side of Mushui, in the depths of the vast green peak, there is really a fairy courtyard.

Qinglingmen, one of the three major immortal families of the Great Qin Kingdom, is as famous as the Liuhe Sect located in the northern part of the Qin State, where the national capital is located, the Qinyang Dao Palace, the western part of the Qin State, and the Luohe River.

Qinyang Dao Palace, the well-deserved leader of the three immortal gates, is different from the other two immortal gates, in addition to teaching those immortal methods, Qinyang Dao Palace also teaches scriptures and arts, and there are martial arts inheritance and the way of governing the country through learning.

Therefore, in the Qinyang Dao Palace, in addition to those cultivators who chase immortals and chase the Dao, there are also talented martial arts seedlings and a large number of Confucian literati who are interested in their careers.

Inherited for 10,000 years, whether it is the magic of the immortal family, or the mastery of martial arts, or the strategy of governing the country, Qinyang Dao Palace is all-encompassing and is listed as the first school in Qin, which is worthy of its name.

However, the Qinyang Dao Palace recruits disciples mainly for the emperor's relatives and relatives, or the imperial court, the official family, or some genius students who are known in the world, etc., and it is basically impossible for ordinary people to enter the Qinyang Dao Palace.

Among the three major immortal sects, if you talk about the momentum, it should be the first in the Liuhe Sect, mainly the Liuhe Sect preachers regardless of identity, regardless of poverty, three religions and nine streams, as long as they have spiritual roots, those who are interested in immortal Taoism can go to Baishan to learn art, therefore, the number of disciples of Liuhe Sect is all over the land of Qin, and the strength is uneven, and the difference is great.

Of course, if you want to get the true inheritance, you can only be accepted as disciples by those elders.

The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name. This sentence is vividly reflected here in Qingxia Mountain.

Qingxia Mountain stretches for only more than 100,000 miles, and it is a small mountain range in the entire Xiling land, and the whole mountain range falls on a spiritual vein, so all year round, the emerald color is dense, and the grass and trees are abundant.

Qinglingmen, it falls on the main peaks of Qingxia Mountain, is blocked by a huge formation, with the naked eye, you can only see the green shade surging, the beautiful scenery of the peak.

The six peaks of Qinglingmen are connected in parallel, except for the Tongtian Peak that exists as the main peak in the middle, the remaining five peaks are named after the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which are Jinyun, Muyan, Shuixing, Fire Essence, and Earth Weight.

In addition to the head of the Qingling Sect, Qingyang Zhenren, there is also an elder sitting on each of the other five peaks, which can be regarded as the top strength of the Qingling Sect, of course, in addition to these powerful elders, according to the rules of the Qingling Sect, some idle elders whose strength has reached the Jindan realm also have the right to occupy a peak as a main dojo.

Under the Jindan Ancestor, the most noble status is those true disciples, there are more than 10,000 cultivators in Qinglingmen, but there are only about twenty true disciples, if you want to become a true disciple, in addition to having extraordinary talent and perseverance, the weakest strength must also reach the foundation.

Under the true disciples, there are those sect stewards and the inner disciples of the five peaks, the sect stewards have certain rights, and they are in an embarrassing position that is not up or down, and many sect stewards are served by the inner disciples, really speaking, the identity is not much more valuable than the inner disciples.

Most of the inner disciples at each peak are one or two hundred, and the number will not exceed three hundred at most. If an ordinary outer disciple wants to become an inner disciple, in addition to reaching the sixth level of qi refining within the specified time limit, he must also complete some assessment tasks issued by the sect, and after passing the assessment, he can become an inner disciple.

The lowest level belongs to the outer disciples, strictly speaking, the outer disciples are not considered disciples in the true sense of the Qingling Sect, but they are only in the assessment stage, and the elders of the sect regularly teach some basic immortal cultivation techniques, within six years, if they cannot reach the sixth level of qi refining, they will not be accepted by the Qingling Sect, and the outer disciples will be assigned some chores, and the time for cultivation is really limited.

Within six years, those who can really reach the sixth level of qi refining are usually less than one, but compared to the tens of thousands of disciples who worship the mountain gate every year, the level of competition is still very fierce.

Qinglingmen recruits disciples mainly for those big families, wealthy businessmen, or Jianghu sects with a certain strength, etc., and those whose origins are unknown will not be included unless their qualifications are against the sky. If it weren't for opportunism, Kong Laosan wouldn't have come here anyway.

Above the void, the flying boat galloped forward, but half a cup of tea, just now the mountain gate that was far away in the sky is already close at hand, overlooking from the sky, the six peaks of Qinglingmen are slightly arc-shaped, straight into the sky, the clouds are ethereal, it looks like a fairy palace, there is a sense of unreal illusion.

Li Xiuchen pinched his hands, the flying boat hummed, and slowly fell towards the foot of the mountain, while warning everyone behind him, "The disciples of the outer sect of the Qingling Sect usually live in those bamboo houses at the foot of the mountain, if you don't have permission, you are not allowed to climb the six peaks, and every month there will be an elder in the sect to teach you the method of cultivation, with your qualifications, work hard, and it is not difficult to reach the sixth level of qi cultivation in six years." ”

As he spoke, the flying boat had fallen to the ground.
