Chapter 16: The Castle
"Brother Xiaoyun is a person in the way of the sword, what do you think about the secret swordsmanship issued by Lan Yan City? If you can get it, wouldn't it make your cultivation more advanced. Shangguan Mo said with a smile.
Xiaoyun shook his head and said, "I always have an unusual premonition about this Lan Yan City. ”
Shangguan Mo frowned and asked, "Why is this?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking. Everything has to be decided after going to Lan Yan City. ”
Xiaoyun looked at the shadows of the trees illuminated by the moonlight passing in the dark night, the stars around the Big Dipper in the night sky were dim, and the carriage was speeding towards Lan Yan City in the dark night.
At that time, it was not only Xiaoyun and others who were on the way, but the entire martial arts had already boiled, and the six major factions and the martial arts wealthy families, and some characters with heads and faces were on their way to Lan Yan City. All of a sudden, the official road was constantly hoofed, and even the bandits who often went down the mountain to rob learned that various factions were passing through their territory, and they all fled one after another, hiding in their nests and not daring to come out.
Lan Yancheng Martial Arts Conference: Selection of the first in the world.
Time: The ninth day of September.
Location: "Hanging Mountain" in the city of Lancheng.
Qualifications: All people in the martial arts, regardless of the Ming Demon Integrity, can participate.
Reward: The one who wins the first place in the world, one of the five beauties in the city is selected, 10,000 gold taels and 1,000 pearls, and the lost secret book of martial arts swordsmanship "Feather Sword Duel".
Participants in the conference will come to the city on the ninth day of September, and will not wait for the deadline.
As soon as this news was released, notices were issued wherever martial arts people gathered, and the people who went out to look for this city were the first to get the news, and then within three days, it caused a sensation in the entire martial arts. All major factions have convened their own factions to discuss this matter.
"Hanging Mountain" Lan Yan City, in the martial arts is extremely mysterious, I don't know when it started, I don't know who created it, only know that in the martial arts has been rumored that Lan Yan City is the head of all the major sects, and the reputation of Lan Yan City is above the world's sects.
The fame of Lan Yan City is very great, but it is just a hopeless fame, no one in the martial arts has ever been to this city, and some of them have secretly gone to the "Hanging Mountain" to look for it, but the people who go to it all disappear like air, like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing without a trace in the martial arts.
Gradually, no one in the martial arts mentioned Lan Yan City anymore, but the mystery and fear of Lan Yan City still exist in the hearts of people in the martial arts. Although no one has ever been to the city, there are many legends about it.
As a result, the "Hanging Mountain" Lan Yan City has become a mysterious place, a mysterious place with a terrifying color, and a mysterious place with a beautiful color.
For many years, the urge to go to the "Lan Yan City" to find out has been suppressed in the bottom of my heart, and I have been trying my best to suppress this impulse to try, no one can forget this "Lan Yan City", he may forget his surname, what is his name, but he will never forget this "Lan Yan City".
Now the gate of "Lan Yan City" is suddenly open, open for everyone, all people in the martial arts, regardless of the Ming Demon decency, as long as they are dressed in style clothes and have a kitchen knife on their waists, they can go.
Some martial arts people with ordinary martial arts and low status have an urge to thank this city lord of Lan Yan City. Because the lord of Lan Yan City brought them a lot of wealth, blacksmith (to build weapons).
Each of the five beauties chooses one of them, 100,000 taels of gold, 1,000 pearls, and "feathered sword duel", which is too tempting! Whether it is beauty or gold, it is all something that makes people crazy, and there are 100,000 pearls of gold, which is enough to make a beggar instantly become a hero. Even if you can't get these, it will be worth it to go to the fantastic Lan Yan City.
And the real purpose of the martial arts sects is the so-called "feather sword duel", and the golden beauties don't have much temptation for these sects, they don't lack these. "Feather Sword Duel" is different, even if you don't practice swordsmanship, you have enough fanaticism. As long as you get this thing, maybe you can leap forward, surpass Kyushu, become the supreme martial arts, and all the factions in the world will obey you.
Located in the deepest part of the Hanging Mountain, this place is not small enough to accommodate people from all over the world. The towering walls are made of marble cut into square pieces, and when you look at both sides from the huge gates, you can't see the end of the wall wheel, and you can see the size of the interior.
At this time, the sky is clear, and a round of fiery red sun hangs above the blue sky and white clouds. The city is already crowded with people outside the city.
The city was filled with countless square tables made of purple last, with tea, wine, snacks, and fruits, all carefully selected, cups, plates, and pots all made of sterling silver. Some utensils are countless, the guests eat and drink, enjoy to their heart's content, no one is not at ease, because the utensils are all pure silver, and any poison can not hide the silverware, which also means that the city lord is above board.
In the sea of people, groups of three or five sit at the same table, because there are too many people, so they cannot be eaten alone. Everyone eats, and some of them work hard, trying to eat all the food on the table. Some of them are flying, drinking and composing poems, and some are talking non-stop, and there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big. Only a small number of people looked leisurely and tasted the tea in their hands.
Suddenly, a heavy footstep broke the noise of people. Judging from the footsteps, it was a group of people. I saw a group of more than fifty people and horses dressed in blood-colored robes, the robes looked bright, but the evil aura was too heavy, and they hurriedly passed through the sea of people. At this moment, the sea of people at the table was a lot quieter. His eyes turned to the group of people who suddenly walked in in disbelief.
"Yes, Xuanzhen sect!"
Someone exclaimed, hearing the name. There was an instant slack in the sea of people, and some of them stood up one after another, and all kinds of sharp and indifferent eyes mixed with each other and threw themselves at the group of centaurs, not looking afraid of this group of centaurs. The six major factions in the martial arts are in the same place, there are many grievances, and when the enemies meet, they are very red-eyed. There are many grievances with the six major factions in the sea of people, and if there is a fight, the casualties will inevitably be heavy.
"I, the Xuanzhen faction, came here for the competition, and I don't want to stir up conflicts here. However, if someone doesn't know each other, the old man will let him disappear forever in Lan Yan City!" The first old man with a rickety, masked face and hat said coldly, his voice was cold and touching, making people shudder.
In the sea of people, a righteous figure who had just stood up looked slightly angry and sat down unwillingly. Although they are outnumbered and powerful, they may not be able to win each other when they really fight. After all, there is no shortage of people from other sects here.
The anger on both sides slowly calmed down, and the flow of people who came to watch the battle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, a provocative voice came, "Hmph, Xuanzhen faction, what a great majesty!"
Hearing this, a group of people dressed in moon white robes walked out of the sea of people, this team of people and horses was on par with the Xuanzhen faction, and from the appearance, they were even more of a big sect.
Bang, bang!
There was a small commotion in the field, and the people who were drinking tea on both sides retreated some space.
"It turned out to be from the Huashan faction, you have a great prejudice against the old man!" The red-robed old man squinted his eyes slightly, and his tone was gloomy.
The words of the old man in red immediately caused a burst of laughter from the middle-aged man led by the Huashan faction, "Haha... Lan Yan City is a scenic city, and the conference held is naturally only qualified by the orthodox inheritance sect. Although you and I belong to the same six major factions, but you will eventually be a rising star, in terms of seniority, how dare you compare with each other, and what kind of excitement will you seep. Isn't the scandal of the Xuanzhen sect not spreading enough in the rivers and lakes?"
Hearing this, many people around nodded their heads, and their eyes on the Xuanzhen faction suddenly became a little more disdainful, Lan Yancheng has a high reputation in the martial arts, and has never interfered in any grievances of the martial arts factions, and it has been extremely low-key so far, and the practice is quite formal.
The Xuanzhen faction was established after the Huashan faction, during which it caused many voices of opposition in the martial arts, and the disciples were not strict in discipline, and they committed taboos in the rivers and lakes, which undoubtedly became the laughing stock of other sects. The six major factions seem to be harmonious on the surface and do not interfere with each other, but in fact, it is not a matter of a day or two that they are secretly intriguing.
Seeing this, the old man in red's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "Hmph, Lan Yancheng is the first in the world, not your Huashan faction." It is really ridiculous to call yourself a great sect, it seems that your Huashan faction is intoxicated with the decay of the old dream of the sunset, and you haven't woken up yet. ”
"Sunset old dreams, hmph, the strength of my Huashan faction is beyond your imagination. You're not welcome here, get out of here!" the middle-aged man waved his hand and sneered.
"Haha... Huashan faction, you are just looking for an excuse to drive us away, one less stumbling block, so that we can go to the next level and win the first place in the world! The old man in black spoke with a little more mockery.
"Hmph, so what? Anyway, you and I don't need to talk so much about each other. The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his robe rose without wind, and the muscles of his arms and jaws exploded.
Ding!
The people on both sides pulled out their waists with knives, and the atmosphere in the field was tense!
"Hehe, it's going to light up so soon? Then let's be here, and the old and new accounts will be settled together. The old man in red smiled, his dry palm poked out of his robe, and the true qi on his body became more and more condensed, forcing the surrounding audience to retreat.
"Hmph, who is afraid of whom, Lao Tzu has already seen that you are not pleasing to the eye!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his anger burned, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light, which was much more ruthless than the old man in black showed.
Seeing that the people on both sides were about to make a move, the people in the martial arts on both sides flashed to the side, exited a large space, and pretended to watch the battle. Indeed, this kind of good thing is rare, after all, the Xuanzhen faction and the Huashan faction are both the top forces in the martial arts, and the six major factions are also among the best in the entire rivers and lakes, and there are many grievances between the two factions.
In the case of equal strength, two tigers will fight, and there will inevitably be two situations, one dead and one injured, or both will die. Whatever happens, this is what the other forces in the martial arts are most happy to see.
