The mountain is not high, but it is steep, a path hidden in the weeds is twisted and turned, obviously no one has walked for a long time, Yi Fan led the old donkey, turned a corner, and saw a big stone not far away, on which a Taoist sat cross.

Hearing that someone was coming, the Taoist opened his eyes and frowned: "Who are you? Why are you doing this, don't you retreat quickly." ”

Yi Fan was stunned for a moment, and wondered, didn't Zhou Cong greet the people who guarded the mountain road? Otherwise, why did he speak like this, holding back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and arching his hand: "In Xia Yifan, I was invited by Zhou Cong, a fellow Daoist of the Bailing Temple of Qianyun Mountain, to come to participate in the gathering. ”

The Taoist raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly: "In this case, you wait here, Zhou Cong Daoyou and his junior brother Liu Hui will go to pick up people outside the mountain, and they will return soon, and it will not be too late for him to verify your identity and then go up the mountain." ”

Yi Fan's complexion changed slightly, even a fool could see that this Taoist deliberately made things difficult, no matter if he waited here or forced his way in, he would be ridiculed, not to mention increasing his knowledge, it would be good not to be despised.

At this moment, there was a tremor of clothes, and I saw four or five people jumping between the mountains and rocks, and they fell in front of them in an instant, and two of them were Zhou Cong and Liu Hui.

Seeing Yi Fan, Zhou Cong was stunned for a moment, then looked at the squinting Taoist, guessed what was going on, stepped forward and said, "Yi Daoyou, I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't explain the situation to this Yan Daoyou, please forgive me." ”

As he spoke, he introduced to the Taoist who was blocking the way: "This Yi Daoyou, my senior brother and sister met by chance just now, although they are casual cultivators, they are both fellow Taoists, so I am specially invited to participate in the rally, and I also ask Yan Daoyou not to be embarrassed." ”

Casual practice?

Except for Zhou Cong and Liu Hui, who already knew Yi Fan's identity, the other people had cold faces, and Yan Daoren just nodded, and no longer paid attention to Yi Fan, but bowed his hand to a few people around Zhou Cong: "These must be the high cultivators in the Dishui Cave Mansion, right?"

There are three people in total, two men and one woman, they are not very old, but their cultivation is not weak, and when they reach the 'Dao Ji', Yi Fan just glances at it, and he can roughly understand his cultivation.

The leader was a slightly longer man, and he smiled and said: "Gao Xiu doesn't dare to be, my three senior brothers and sisters will also sit down and practice in Deng Zhengshan, the deputy cave master of Dishui Cave Mansion, in Xia Liuyun, this is my third junior brother Wang Zhen, and this is my junior sister Luo Jing." ”

Yan Daoren's face changed: "It turned out that Duke Deng sat down as a disciple, and he was disrespectful." ”

Deng Zhengshan, Dishui Cave Mansion, a body of cultivation to go straight to the 'return of Dan' triple, only half a step away from jumping into a better level, once in order to wash the demons, a single person with a sword to kill thousands of miles, cut thousands of ghosts, kill a hundred demons, in the practice world is also a little famous.

A disciple of such a strong man, how could he dare to provoke him, he was originally a little arrogant, but now his attitude has changed, and he seems flattering.

After a few people finished speaking, Zhou Cong led everyone inside, Yi Fan led the old donkey, followed behind with a disgusting ghost, and did not speak, only looked at it calmly.

Walking a short distance, it is a mountain forest, near the cliff, there is a slightly dilapidated Taoist temple, but at this time it is renovated, clean, there are lanterns hanging outside, there are some maidservants in and out, busy receiving.

He gave the old donkey to the servant and brought it down, and they went in.

It's not like a Taoist temple, it's not like a place to practice, but it's a comparison with the rich and noble families in the mortal world, Yi Fan sighed in his heart, it's not that he hasn't seen the world, the Shushan Sword Sect is also a big gate in the cultivation world, and there are countless people in the door, but its Hangzhou Sword House is just an ordinary residence, and it is not full of lights, let alone Zhu Yu embellishment, and there are no servants to serve.

And here, the outside is full of lights, the inside is paved with pebbles, dotted with flowers all the way, there are beautiful maids busy from time to time, and it is even more rich and powerful inside, and dozens of seats are placed on both sides, which are already full.

As soon as I entered, a hearty laugh came from inside: "Brother Liu, as well as Brother Wang and Senior Sister Luo, Senior Brother has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Looking at it, it was a young man in a robe sitting at the top, wearing a square scarf, looking graceful, like a genius in the world, and it was he who spoke at this time.

The three brothers and sisters of Liu Yun immediately gave up their hands: "I have seen Senior Brother Zhou Zijian." ”

Zhou Zijian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, let's sit down first." ”

A servant girl next to her stepped forward, led the three of them into their seats, leaned on the front row, and laughed with a few people around them after a while.

"Who is this?" Zhou Zijian glanced at Yi Fan suspiciously, and asked Senior Brother Zhou Cong, who led him in.

Zhou Cong immediately explained, and then introduced to Yi Fan: "This is Senior Brother Zhou Zijian of the Hundred Refining Sect of Chiyan Mountain. ”

Yi Fan's heart moved, Zhuge Liuyun had also introduced many sects in the cultivation world to him, including the Hundred Refining Sect, which was a sect with considerable strength in the Northwest Cultivation Circle, occupying the boundary of Chiyan Mountain within a radius of 800 miles, and the magic powers in its sect were mainly fire, which was particularly powerful.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Zijian again, and saw that his body was full of boiling spiritual power, like a rising flame, although it had no substance, but it implied a heat wave, as if it would burst out at any time.

After listening to Zhou Cong's introduction, Zhou Zijian nodded, his face remained unchanged, and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, since you are a fellow practitioner, please take a seat." ”

After that, he called a maid and gave a few instructions, and after a while, the maid moved a wooden pier and put it outside the door, and Zhou Zijian said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, there are a lot of Taoist friends who came today, and the seats are full, so I can only grieve Yi Daoyou to live outside, but don't worry, the wine is enough." ”

Yi Fan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhou Zijian, and then looked at Zhou Cong with a teasing face, and couldn't help shaking his head, I thought that the disciples of the sect were all like Zhuge Liuyun, bold and righteous, full of etiquette, who knew that they were also like mortals, with the high and low of the portal, it was really boring to gather like this.

But after thinking about it, he left like this, but it seemed inferior, it was better to see what the purpose of their gathering was, so he nodded, and walked out with a calm face.

"Wait. ”

Zhou Zijian suddenly shouted, glanced at the little white fox on Yi Fan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The strength of this little fox on Yi Daoyou's shoulder is not weak, and his cultivation is also my Dao Authentic Sect, and it just so happens that I also lack a maid, I wonder if Yi Daoyou can cede it?"

"Of course, whatever you want, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will never say anything. ”

Yi Fan smiled, glanced at the lively crowd, didn't bother to entangle with him, didn't answer, turned around and came to the door, sat on the wooden pier, closed his eyes and recuperated, and the disgusting ghost also knew that this place was not a place where it could spread wild, and stood behind him honestly, not daring to look around.

Seeing Yi Fan like this, Zhou Zijian's face was slightly pale, and Zhou Cong said: "Senior Brother Zhou, don't be angry, such a loose cultivation in the mountains and wilderness, insufficient etiquette, arrogance, and angry with him, so that he has lost his identity." ”

"You, you, what kind of person is I, Zhou Zijian?" Zhou Zijian nodded Zhou Cong, waved his hand, and returned to his seat.
