487. Arrive at the Shangqing Palace

Early the next morning, Du did not forget to bid farewell to He Xinxin, and gave Zhu Qi's white horse to He Xinxin as a mount.

Then Du did not forget to quickly rush to the place agreed by the major factions at the foot of the Shangqing Palace on Longhu Mountain, after all, today is the day when the Shangqing Palace is going to hold the Dragon Boat Festival.

By the time Du Yi arrived, the major factions had already arrived one after another, and they were waving their flags to boost morale.

These sects naturally include Wudang, Shaolin, Yanbang, Diancang, Kunlun, Hengshan, Huashan and other factions, but I didn't expect that Du Yiyi, who had not seen Emei Lingshuang and Ling Xue for a long time, and the Songtu of Mount Tai actually arrived here.

As soon as Songtu saw Du Buyi, he ran over and chatted with Du Bufu:

"Du Gongzi, long time no see!"

Du Bu Bu also smiled at Songtu:

"Songtu Dao Chief, you too!"

Songtu pulled Du Yi and whispered in his ear:

"I don't know if Brother Du can get the treasure of Huiji Mountain?"

Du Chu shook his head:

"It's useless for me to ask for that, but I've really been to the stone room where the treasure is, and this treasure has also harmed my two apprentices and is nowhere to be found!"

Songtu sighed and said:

"Also, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, in fact, I am also to blame for this. ”

Du did not forget to change the topic:

"Daoist Songtu, have you resolved the grievances with your four senior brothers?"

Song Tu clenched his fists tightly at this time and looked at the direction of Shangqing Palace:

"The most important thing I have done here is to clean the portal for my teacher!"

Du did not forget a burst of curiosity:

"Could it be that your four senior brothers also came to this Dragon and Tiger Mountain?"

Songtu was a little indignant:

"Yes, those four animals not only came to Longhu Mountain, but also changed their doors and took refuge in the teaching, so I must eradicate these martial arts scum with the righteous warriors of the rivers and lakes this time. ”

At this time, Zhang Songxi walked towards Du Buyi with a smile on his face, and was about to pay a master-apprentice salute to Du Buxing, but was directly stopped by Du Buxing:

"Songxi, don't be like this, you are now the head of the Wudang Sect, and you still perform a master-apprentice ceremony to me like this, which makes me feel embarrassed? ”

Zhang Songxi immediately said:

"I am a teacher for one day and a father for life, and many of my martial arts are taught to me by your teacher, how can I only be regarded as a nominal master and apprentice?"

Du Bu was a little helpless at this time, because many disciples and heads of various sects next to him were looking at him and Zhang Songxi, so he walked up to Zhang Songxi and whispered:

"Songxi, I know that you value the relationship between master and apprentice, but we are really not good like this, after the matter of Longhu Mountain is resolved, if we are all alive, let's find a chance to talk alone." ”

Zhang Songxi nodded:

"I see!"

At this time, Master Huizhen of Shaolin also came over to talk to Du Zhiyi, and at this time, Master Huizhen's expression seemed to be a little ugly.

Du did not forget to ask:

"Master Huizhen, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Songxi walked up to Du Buyi and said in his ear:

"Teacher, Master Huizhen was ridiculed by Zhu Jiangnan just now!"

Du did not forget to ask:

"Why does this Zhu Jiangnan laugh at Master Huizhen?"

Zhang Songxi explained:

"Because Master Huizhen's junior brother, that is, the monk Huining of the Law Enforcement Hall, actually led his own group of disciples to directly announce that he had joined the teachings at this juncture, and also worshiped Shao Yuanjie as a teacher!"

When Du didn't forget to hear this Huining monk, he also remembered that he went to find Mingxi when he met it, but at that time it had already betrayed Shaolin and joined the monk, and he forgot to tell Master Huizhen about it.

Thinking of this, Du Buyi called Master Huizhen aside alone and chatted with him about Monk Huining.

Master Huizhen was also shocked when he heard it:

"It's to blame that I've been blind for so many years, and I haven't found out that this Huining is actually this kind of traitor, and I have always entrusted it with important tasks, and it is my abbot's responsibility for negligence, I am so ashamed of Shaolin. ”

Du did not forget to walk up to Master Huizhen, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted:

"Abbot, you don't have to be like this, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can really see what a person is thinking in his heart?"

Suddenly, at this time, a group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes came down from the Shangqing Palace, and the first person Du Yi was also familiar with it, it was Zhao Zihang, the second disciple of Chen Shandao.

At this time, Zhao Zihang said loudly to the major factions in the rivers and lakes gathered here:

"My name is Zhao Zihang, I belong to the second disciple of Chen Zhangjiao, today I am on the order of my ancestor Shao Guoshi, I am here to invite all the elders of the major factions to enter our Shangqing Palace to participate in the Zhai Festival, please start to follow me up the mountain now, but I have to remind you that our Shangqing Palace mountain road has not been very peaceful recently, if there are any factions who trespass on any forbidden land halfway, we Shangqing Palace will not be responsible. ”

At this time, many disciples of various factions yelled at Zhao Zihang, who had just spoken:

"Hurry up and take us up the mountain...... Take us up the mountain...... Don't talk so much nonsense...... We just want to have a fair competition with you today!"

Zhao Zihang didn't pay attention to these people, but began to take these thousands of people to the various factions of the rivers and lakes and began to go up the mountain.

After a while, under the guidance of Zhao Zihang, everyone arrived in front of a suspension bridge connecting a section of cliffs.

Zhao Zihang reminded everyone:

"Please follow the rules and slowly cross the bridge one by one to avoid crowding and falling into the cliff!"

Suddenly, dozens of people from the Giant Shark Gang rushed directly to the front, and Dajin, the leader of the gang, pointed at Zhao Zihang with some anger and said:

"What are you? Why should we listen to you?"

After speaking, he first squeezed towards the bridge with people, wanting to cross the bridge first.

As a result, due to the overwhelmed wooden planks on the bridge, the group of Giant Shark Gang disciples just walked a few steps on the bridge, and almost half of them accidentally stepped on the pedals and fell into the valley.

When they finally arrived on the other side of the bridge, only the entire Giant Shark Gang was left with Dajin and the three surviving disciples.

At this time, Zhang Dajin directly pointed at Zhao Zihang on the side and became angry:

"You return the lives of our Giant Shark Gang disciples!"

Zhao Zihang's expression was very calm:

"Didn't I just warn all of you that this drawbridge is dangerous and you have to cross the bridge one by one?

Zhang Dajin found Master Huizhen, the abbot of Shaolin who had just crossed the bridge:

"Master Huizhen, I hope you will do justice to our Giant Shark Gang, is this the real culprit of the Eagle Dog who deliberately killed many disciples of my Giant Shark Gang?"

Master Huizhen double-tenched and read:

"Oh Mi Buddha, Gang Master Zhang, explain that Zhao Daoyou, I did remind you that it was you and your disciples who did not follow the rules, which caused so many people in your gang to die in vain, I hope that Gang Master Zhang will temporarily mourn and be patient. ”

Zhang Dajin, then clenched his fists and pointed at Zhao Zihang:

"Okay, you Illustrative Eagle Dogs will wait for me, and I will definitely not let you go. ”

Due to the fact that the Giant Shark Gang had such a large casualty on the suspension bridge, the disciples of the various factions behind did not dare to push and crowd, and one by one, they safely crossed the suspension bridge in turn.

After a while, Zhao Zihang led everyone into a valley lined with boulders.

At this time, Zhao Zihang reminded again:

"Everyone must follow me, if you don't obey and act without permission, you will bear the consequences. ”

After speaking, he first entered the stone forest, and Du Buyi and Zhang Songxi, Master Huizhen and others immediately followed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the people in front of them bypassed the three boulders, they heard a scream from someone behind.

At this time, a disciple immediately came to report to Hui Zhen:

"Master Huizhen, there is a group of Red Moon Sect disciples who have wandered into the stone forest at will, and they have already died in the chaos of stones. ”

Master Huizhen sighed helplessly:

"Good, good, persuade the factions behind, stop acting without permission, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that if we don't go to the Qing Palace to participate in the fasting sacrifice, more than half of us will be injured. ”

As a result, although Master Huizhen gave orders, more than 100 people still did not listen to the instructions and died in the rocks.

After this valley stone forest, everyone began to climb down the hillside.

At this time, I don't know why, but suddenly there was a strong wind that could even uproot trees.

At this time, Du Buyi also hurriedly ordered everyone to lie on the ground together with Master Huizhen, so as not to be taken away by the strong wind, but because of the large number of people, there were still some people who did not listen to the instructions, and dozens of disciples were directly blown away by the strong wind at once.

After the strong wind, everyone inevitably began to point at Zhao Zihang, and was unwilling to continue to go up:

"The surname Zhao...... ...... with the surname Zhao What the hell do you mean...... Why did you take us to such a dangerous place, it was a trap deliberately designed by your Shangqing Palace, do you want us to all die if you don't give us an explanation, we won't leave here today!"

Zhao Zihang turned around and explained to everyone:

"Not me" Shangqing Palace wants to harm you, but the main road up the mountain has been blocked because of the mountain earthquake, you should have seen it at the bottom of the mountain? That's why I took you on this path today, this path was originally prepared to prevent the invasion of bad guys, but there are dangerous places I have warned you that some of you don't listen. ”

Master Huizhen also spoke at this time:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what Zhao Daoyou said is right, it is true that some people in our crowd are too unrestrained to lead to so many casualties I hope everyone will focus on the overall situation and understand more, what is after the Shangqing Palace Zhai Festival, it is not too late to solve it. ”

At this time, Du Buyi also said:

"Master Huizhen is indeed right, and it is also notarized, I hope that no matter what you encounter on the road behind, you will follow us well, and we will be fine. ”

At this time, a Kunlun disciple came out and asked:

"Then when will we be able to get to the Shangqing Palace, and what kind of secret weapon will be waiting for us on the way down?"

Zhao Zihang patted his chest:

"I can now assure you that from now on, there will be no danger of any traps on this road up the mountain all the way to the outside of the Shangqing Palace, as long as everyone needs to pay attention to safety when climbing the mountain. ”

After speaking, he continued to walk up with the group.

After walking a few hundred meters high in the courtyard, a stone memorial arch was revealed, which was engraved with the four big characters of 'Da Shangqing Palace'.

Du Buyi walked forward and asked Zhao Zihang, is this to the Shangqing Palace?

Zhao Zihang pointed to a high platform halfway up the mountainside:

"This is just the mountain gate, and the high platform is the main gate of the Shangqing Palace, you can come with me!"

After a while, Zhao Zihang led a team of nearly 2,000 people and stood in a flat open space in front of the high platform he just pointed to.

In front of everyone, there is a high-rise building like a city gate, and the plaque in front of the building is hung with the three big characters of Shangqing Palace.

Zhao Zihang said to everyone:

"Wait here first, I'll go and inform my ancestor now!"

Then he entered the palace gate.

At this time, everyone climbed the mountain for so long, and they were inevitably a little tired, so they sat on the ground one after another, and began to rest and wait, fortunately, there was no big sun today, according to the weather a few days ago, I am afraid that many people have already fallen to the ground due to heat stroke.
