Chapter 340: Gathering
Strictly speaking, this mountain villa area is a unique area, neither controlled by the demon clan nor controlled by the Dongyue Kingdom, but in between. Of course, the main reason for this is because of the existence of the three major mountain villas, and each of these three mountain villas is said to be slightly weaker than the royal family.
These are rumors from the outside world, but as the oldest mountain villa here, the depth of the power of Jinlong Villa is no longer known to ordinary people, so there are many speculations.
Di Renjie was walking beside Tan Hao, there were a total of eight people in this line of Hundred Bird Villa, including him Di Renjie is nine, all of them are good players, six of them are martial arts realm tenfold, and they are only one step away from the Qi Qi realm.
The other is Qi Qi Jing, this is Tan Hao's friend who fought the world together back then, and he is also the big housekeeper of the villa, most people call him 'Guan Ye', Di Renjie also calls him so, but the other party doesn't dare to stand it, just call a Guan senior.
The cultivation world is generally based on cultivation, and some sects are counted separately, according to the strength, even Tan Hao has to be called Di Renjie's senior.
However, Di Renjie is finally a Confucian disciple under the etiquette, so he has always attached great importance to respecting teachers and respecting the Tao, and the continuation is still an old tradition, and Tan Hao wants to call him a senior, and he doesn't want to accept it.
"I don't know how long the Golden Dragon Villa has been here, but I know that this villa is by no means simple, and it is said that the emperors of the Tianlong Dynasty have come to this villa to rest. Tan Hao said to Di Renjie.
He knew that Di Renjie didn't know much about these things, so he was idle at this time and explained things to him, which could be regarded as imparting some insight.
Then Tan Hao continued: "As a long-ago force, whether it is in the demon clan or in the land of the Three Kingdoms, it is quite prestigious, but the people in the villa have always lived in a simple place, and it is rare to see it, in the past, it was led by a housekeeper and the like, but this time it was the eldest lady in charge, but I don't know why." β
Di Renjie asked, "This time, we will also go directly to the Golden Dragon Villa to gather?"
Tan Hao shook his head: "No, but it is also the place of Jinlong Villa, the journey is a bit far, and it is estimated that it will take half a day to arrive." β
Along the way, Di Renjie and Tan Hao saw some people from other mountain villas going in the same direction with them one after another.
"Hey, have you heard? This time it was led by Miss Peacock of Golden Dragon Villa, and it is said that this is a stunning beauty, although she is more than a hundred years old. Ha ha. β
"What about being over a hundred years old? For a practitioner, the years are very important, and the years are not important, the important thing is that everyone yearns for the path of immortality, and it is not important that there is no difference between young and old age. β
"That's right, it's a pity that those of us who have low cultivation, I have to admit that there is still a difference between young and old, but this Golden Dragon eldest lady is already beautiful, and her family is noble, which is not something we can compare. β
"Our villa this time is purely for a glimpse, and there is nothing to buy and sell. β
......
In fact, the three major mountain villas were not obliged to take these small mountain villas to Dongyue Kingdom.
If you go to Dongyue alone from these small mountain villages, it is easy to encounter danger when you cross the mountains and forests, and it is not unusual for the whole army to be wiped out by accident.
But later, these three mountain villas joined forces to come up with this kind of joint caravan that went to Dongyue once a year, but they only needed to pay some fees, which also gave those small mountain villas more room to survive, to put it bluntly, this kind of place is the place of cultivators, and these three mountain villas also have a lot of prestige and status among cultivators.
Tan Hao listened to what those people said, and also smiled and said: "Although the old man is seventy and five, compared to this Peacock Lady of Golden Dragon Villa, he is still a junior, hehe." β
Di Renjie also smiled when he heard this, but he was also a little curious, what would this hundred-year-old peacock lady be like?
He has been practicing for nearly ten years now, but he has never seen a cultivator who is old but can rejuvenate his face, and it is said that the cost of rejuvenating his face is very high, and those cultivators can't afford it, so it is rare to see it.
The trip was far and far, not far or far, and as we passed through many places, a repaired road appeared in front of everyone, and along this road, a silent green mountain village appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, there were many people from other mountain villas who came, probably no less than dozens of pairs, and the whole count, there were about two or three hundred people.
Everyone was very quiet, because when they stepped into this villa, there was a sign to keep quiet, which was put up by the steward of the Golden Dragon Villa, so everyone did not dare to make noise.
After entering the villa, there were many stools and chairs, and Di Renjie and the others also found a place to sit down quietly.
The people in the other mountain villas are about eight or nine people, which is also the rule of the three mountain villas, no more than ten people, of course, it is best to come by one person.
It's just that everyone is still a little worried after all, so they are all good players from the major mountain villas, and through this time, the Jinlong Mountain Villa led the team to Dongyue Kingdom.
At this time, a housekeeper of the Golden Dragon Villa walked out from the inside of the villa, it was a fat and kind old man, the old man looked at the four directions, and said with a smile: "Probably all here, welcome everyone to come here, those who know should know that this villa is a point outside my Golden Dragon Villa, so I won't bother everyone to go to the Golden Dragon Villa." β
But for some people who understand, in fact, they don't want too many people to go to the Golden Dragon Villa, this mountain villa has always been extremely secretive, it is said that for thousands of years, there are very few people who can step into the Golden Dragon Villa, at least in the past few decades, there is none.
This villa is not subordinate to the outside world, and it is completely different from the other two major villas, but even so, no one dares to question the strength of Jinlong Villa.
The obese old man continued: " This time, led by my eldest lady, this is also because we have to pass through Heiqi Mountain, that place is relatively dangerous, but because we have something to pass through there, so I would like to tell you here, if there is any mountain villa that is not willing to go together, the fees paid this time can be returned, of course, Jinlong Villa will continue to protect everyone's safety, but, because the plan has changed this time, and everyone has also heard of Heiqi Mountain, so this time the choice depends on you, if you are willing to go, you can stay, if you are not willing to go, then you can only wait until next yearγ β
As soon as these words came out, Di Renjie found that everyone felt a little abrupt.
It turns out that this is the case, the Golden Dragon Villa has to pass through Heiqi Mountain, that place is indeed not an ordinary place, it is said to be the territory of a black centipede monster, this centipede monster is extremely powerful, and the poison is fierce, not to mention their human race, even the demon clan is unwilling to approach that place, I don't know why this Golden Dragon Villa wants to go there.
However, everyone also understood at this time, why this Golden Dragon Villa sent Miss Peacock this time, it seems that it is because they want to pass through the territory of the black centipede monster, and the general villa housekeeper is not at ease, so this time the eldest lady will lead the team.
After the fat old man finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea next to him and drank it, looking at the low major mountain villas discussing.
As the obese old man said, they need to pass through the Golden Dragon Villa this time, there are some dangers, those who are willing to go will go together, and those who do not want to go can stay now, and the additional fees paid can also be returned.
"We don't know what the strength of this peacock lady is, it should be stronger than those villa stewards before, right?"
"It's hard to say, after all, it's a woman, and she may not be able to exert her cultivation skills?"
"It makes sense, cultivation is not equal to strength, a female streamer, passing through Heiqi Mountain, that is not an ordinary place, forget it, we still don't go, originally this time I just wanted to see the beauty, but if you want to fight for your life, then forget it." β
"I can't say that, after all, this is the people of Golden Dragon Villa, this Golden Dragon Villa has existed for a long time, and we can't imagine this peacock lady with our view of ordinary women. β
......
Di Renjie heard that these people were discussing how the peacock lady was, but he was thinking about what kind of place this Heiqi Mountain was, and couldn't help but ask Tan Hao on the side, "Old owner, is this so-called Heiqi Mountain a very dangerous place?"
Tan Hao smiled bitterly, and then said to Di Renjie: "Tang Shaoxia, if this Peacock Lady of Golden Dragon Villa wants to pass through that Heiqi Mountain, I feel that at least half of the people on the field will withdraw." β
"Why is this? Is that place so dangerous?" Di Renjie was surprised, if half of the people on the field withdrew, it would be more than a hundred people.
Tan Hao nodded, "Half of the people are still my conservative estimates, and it's hard to say whether there can be a third left, this Heiqi Mountain can be regarded as too much shadow for everyone." The old man also plans to quit. β
"This ...... I would like to hear about it. Di Renjie was a little surprised, and he was solemn at this time, he didn't expect Tan Hao to quit, if it was really as dangerous as Tan Hao said, then he would have to think carefully about whether to go together or not.
Tan Hao continued: "Tang Shaoxia should know that the place we live in is actually generally a demon clan region, and the reason why we can stay here for a long time is not because of how flexible and powerful our small mountain villas are, or how united we are, this is nothing. In the final analysis, it is because of the existence of the three mountain villas. β
Di Renjie nodded, "The juniors have also guessed this before, according to the juniors' understanding of some of the demon clans here, if there is a demon clan in the Weichi Realm, I am afraid they will be able to destroy a large number of small mountain villas." β
Tan Hao thought deeply, "That's right, and because of the existence of the three major mountain villas, those demon clans don't dare to invade them, so to a certain extent, our small mountain villas rely on those three mountain villas to survive." β
