The mountain behind Qingyuan Palace, the big trees are towering, and the fog is shrouded. It's like getting lost in a forest, and you can't see the edge as far as you can see.

The reason why this place is called the forbidden land of Qingyuan Palace is because it is foggy all the year round, and outsiders mistakenly enter it, and it is easy to get lost in it. But the man at the inner gate has his own way of entering.

At this moment, there was no need to ask for a spell, and I saw that the fog not far away had subsided slightly, and two towering trees not far away had slowly moved. A deep path appeared behind the tree.

Wuqiu stabbed nonsense with his arm and said, "You follow me closely, don't go the wrong way." If you step into the Lost Forest, it won't be easy to figure it out. ”

Hu Yan nodded stunnedly, took Ziling's little hand, and followed the path without asking for anything.

There was still a heavy fog all around, but Hu Yan was a lot more relieved to lead the way in front of him.

"Who dares to trespass on the forbidden land of Qingyuan Palace?"

As soon as the three of them stepped into the path, they heard a shout coming from the thick fog, and when they looked closely, two Taoist people wearing Taoist robes and holding swords floated in from the thick fog.

"Fifth Senior Brother, it's me!" Hearing the voice of the visitor, he couldn't help but be happy.

"Oh!?Is it Wuqiu's junior brother, the master is back?" The person who came was about twenty years old, wearing a scarf and a fat and loose straight-collared coat, chic and free, and had a good temperament.

"Fifth Senior Brother, the master has gone to the outer gate to see Uncle Huaqing, let me lead the two junior brothers and sisters first to the inner door to have a look. Wuqiu smiled and led Wuqiu and Ziling forward and said, "This is the master's newly accepted disciple nonsense, this is Ziling." This is the fifth senior brother, this is the senior brother Zhang of the Law Enforcement Hall. ”

"I've seen Senior Brother Five, Senior Brother Zhang. Hu Yan and Ziling hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

When Hu Yan Ziling first entered the Daomen, he didn't understand the rules of Qingyuan Palace, so he had to bow down. Etiquette is not to blame, it is always not wrong.

Seeing this, the fifth senior brother smiled and said, "Since it is a new disciple of the master, it is his own brother." Hu Yan Ziling doesn't have to be polite. ”

The senior brother Zhang sneered disapprenowantly: "I don't know what Uncle Shi thinks, the annual 'Sichuan Master Meeting' is about to be held, and he doesn't accept so many outstanding disciples from the outer gate, but he wants to accept two outsiders of unknown origin." ”

When Hu Yan heard this, his face couldn't help but sink, and he was about to speak, but he said without asking: "Senior Brother Zhang's words are wrong, since my master is willing to accept him as apprentices, he has his own master's reason." What's more, my master can accept whoever he wants as an apprentice, do you still need to intervene in the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"You ......" Senior Brother Zhang didn't ask for anything to say, his face froze, and he smiled instead of anger: "Senior Uncle is the head of the Qingyuan Palace, so naturally he can accept whoever he wants, and our Law Enforcement Hall can't interfere." However, I am afraid that when the 'Sichuan Lord Society' is in a big competition, your Deacon Hall will lose to our Law Enforcement Hall again. By the way, you didn't even seem to win against Yunshuitang last year. ”

When Wu Qiu heard this, he was immediately furious, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but the fifth senior brother patted Wu Qiu's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Zhang, this time is different from the past, in the past, your Law Enforcement Hall did want to beat our Deacon Hall, but this time it is not necessarily. Okay, the two junior brothers and sisters have just entered the Qingyuan Palace, let's not quarrel over this trivial matter, so as not to make people laugh. ”

Senior Brother Zhang's face changed slightly, he glanced at Hu Yan and Ziling coldly, and turned around and said, "Then let's wait and see!"

Seeing Senior Brother Zhang walking away, Senior Brother Zhang smiled and said to Hu Yan and Ziling: "Hu Yan Ziling, let you see and laugh." ”

Wu Qiu, who had been holding back the fire, said indignantly: "Senior Brother Zhang has always been above the top, and he thinks he is sorry. Relying on the fact that the master is an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, he is powerful all day long. I've long seen them as unpleasant. This time, our deacon hall must teach them a lesson, otherwise they will be idle all day long. ”

"Okay, no request, Hu Yan and Ziling have just arrived in Qingyuan Palace, you settle them first, and as for the rest, let's talk about it later. The fifth senior brother knew Wuqiu's temper and shook his head helplessly.

Ziling also comforted: "Don't ask, don't be angry." If you're angry, you can't get a row. Let's go, take us to the inner door. ”

With Ziling's comfort, Wuqiu finally calmed down a lot, and said to the fifth senior brother: "Fifth senior brother, don't you go back with us?"

The fifth senior brother pouted: "Today it is my turn to guard the entrance of the forbidden land with Senior Brother Zhang, I can't leave at this time, wait for the senior brother who has changed the guard to come over, and I will go back to you." ”

Hearing the fifth senior brother say this, he had no choice but to nod and say, "That's okay, I'll take Hu Yan and Ziling back first, and you can come back early, and we'll wait for you to eat later." ”

The fifth senior brother waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead, the other senior brothers will be very happy to see you come back." As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the thick fog, but when he turned around, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a strange smile.

Seeing the fifth senior brother go away, he turned around and grinned at Hu Yan and Ziling: "Let's go, let's go back first." It's been a long time since I've seen other brothers and sisters, so I wonder if they miss them, and I don't know if they will miss me. As he spoke, he jumped forward and walked forward, obviously in a good mood.

Hu Yan was a little speechless for such a big fluctuation in his mentality, so he had to pull Ziling to follow quickly.

"No request, I heard that Senior Brother Zhang say that 'Sichuan Lord Meeting' Dabi before, is that also some special event in Qingyuan Palace?"

"Originally, the 'Sichuan Lord Meeting' was just a grand temple fair held at the outer gate of Qingyuan Palace to worship the Sichuan Lord Li Bing's work in controlling water, but the inner gate also recruited outstanding outer disciples to enter the inner gate through this grand event. And the original inner disciples will also hold a cultivation assessment, called Dabi. The winner of the big competition has the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Law Palace to choose a magic weapon as a reward, and even get the opportunity to enter the secret realm to practice. Wu Qiu said with some excitement, obviously he was looking forward to this big competition.

Hu Yan had heard of the Qingyuan Palace temple fair before, and it is said that on the day of the 'Sichuan Lord Meeting', pilgrims from all over the world gathered here, and Qingyuan Palace would also set up a long table banquet to entertain guests from afar. There are not only large-scale sacrificial activities, but also interesting folk skills such as climbing poles, money guns, turning five platforms, Sichuan opera, lantern opera, waist drums, etc.

However, he didn't know that there were actually so many famous halls in this 'Sichuan Master Society', since the master asked him to participate in the inner door competition, he would do his best, but he was worried that with his own strength, even if he participated, it would just be a formality.

seemed to see what Hu Yan was thinking, and Wu Qiu patted Hu Yan and said, "Don't worry, the inner door is not as terrible as you think." Even if you lose, it doesn't matter, it's just an experience. ”

Seeing that Wuqiu said easily, Hu Yan was also relieved: "By the way, are the people in Wuqiu Law Enforcement Hall very powerful?"

Wuqiu pouted and said: "What's amazing, it's just some snobbery of dogs." If it weren't for the master and uncle in charge of the law enforcement hall, would they dare to be so arrogant? Moreover, the master has always rarely accepted apprentices, and there were only three people in the deacon hall who could participate in the inner door competition a few years ago, and they did not get good results in the competition, so the deacon hall was so despised by them?"

Hu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Is the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall more powerful than the master?"

"That's not what I said, if you want to talk about cultivation, the master can be the head of the Qingyuan Palace, naturally this is it!" Wu Qiu said and gave a thumbs up, and then said: "It's just that the master is the master's senior brother, and he is the third son of the previous master in charge, so he is in charge of the law enforcement hall and the criminal law system of the entire Qingyuan Palace, and the master is a person who protects his shortcomings, as long as they don't make mistakes in principle, they will not be punished, so they will do whatever they want with such empty eyes." ”

"What is the mistake in principle?" nonsense has a tendency to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Wu Qiu glanced at nonsense, grinned: "Murder and arson, rape and plunder!"

Hu Yan shrugged and said: "As long as these people have a conscience and humanity, they won't do it." ”

Wuqiu pouted: "That's not necessarily. By the way, there are a total of four halls in the inner gate, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Yunshui Hall, the Shifang Hall and our Law Enforcement Hall. They recruit a large number of disciples every year, and I am afraid that our deacon hall will not be able to please them again this year. ”

Hu Yan smiled and patted Wu Qiu comforted: "It's okay, didn't the master accept me and Ziling as apprentices this time, although Ziling can't fight, but I can fight, by the way, you will also participate this time, right?"

"That's a must, I wanted to participate last year, but the master didn't let me participate, saying that I was too young and my strength was insufficient. He said angrily.

"No requirement, the people who participated in the Inner Gate Contest should be very strong, right?" Although Hu Yan just thought that this Inner Gate Contest was just going to practice, he was still a little worried.

Wu Qiu said disapprovingly: "That's it." In fact, they are all people who have not yet succeeded in building a foundation, and the really powerful ones have already gone to the secret realm to practice. It is said that practicing in the secret realm for one year is equivalent to practicing outside for ten years. However, I heard from the senior brother who came out of the secret realm that the secret realm is simply not a place where people can stay. There are really few people who can actually stay in it for a year. However, a guy named Lei Ming in Shifang Hall is very powerful, five years ago, he obtained the qualification to enter the secret realm of cultivation with the first place in the inner gate, and when he successfully built the foundation, he entered the secret realm, and he has not come out yet. ”

"So powerful!?" Hu Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, five years ago, he won the first place in the Inner Gate Competition, even if it took him a year to build a foundation, it would be four years long to enter, wouldn't that be equivalent to forty years of cultivation outside? I don't know what stage of cultivation it has reached. Perhaps it has already reached the foundation building, and even breaking through the bottleneck to reach the Jindan period.

"I don't know how long I can stay in the secret realm!" Hu Yan couldn't help but look forward to it, he wanted to go in and see what was terrible in this secret realm.

"You, I see your current strength at the middle level of Qi cultivation, it would be great to be able to stay in it for three or five days. Wu Qiu said with a sneer.

Hu Yan spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "That's what I said, and you just listen to it." Besides, if you want to enter the secret realm, don't you have to wait until you have successfully built a foundation?"

"Then I reckon it will be at least a year or two before you can build the foundation. But before you can do that, you have to be qualified to enter the secret realm!" Wu Qiu said with a serious expression.

"Then I'll do my best!" said Hu Yan with a smile.
