Chapter 029: Wawu Medicine Garden
Qingfeng Gorge is about eight kilometers away from Taibai County, located next to the ancient Bao inclined plank road near the main peak of Taibai Mountain, south of the main beam of Qinling Taibai Mountain, the upper part of "Ao Mountain" is the highest peak of Qingfeng Gorge, and the west running horse beam forms the main peak of Qinling Mountains, Qingfeng Gorge topography is special The gorge is narrow and long, the river valley is composed of stones such as flood deposits, and the two sides of the canyon are the peaks of the mountain peaks and the terrain is dangerous.
The next morning, the two checked out and set off, and soon came to the gate of the scenic spot, but the two did not enter the scenic spot, but carefully studied the tourist guide map at the door, and then walked along a road not far from the gate of the scenic spot. According to the guidebook, this trail is not a scenic area, but the only passage connecting several small villages in the gorge.
"I think it should be right to take this road, now that the mountain has been opened to the road, and this neighborhood is a famous tourist attraction, ordinary people who will continue to live in the mountains, if I had changed, I would have moved out a long time ago, so nine times out of ten the villages here are the Qingyun faction left in the secular procurement location, and the trading conference is here. Huang Hua talked to Han Ming as he walked.
"Well, I also think these villages are suspicious, it feels like the Wawu faction in the bamboo sea, I wonder if these villages are the branches of the Qingyun Sect set up in this canyon or some kind of medicine garden forbidden land, but I think the trade fair should be unlikely to be held in the village, although I don't know how big the scale of the trade conference is, but after all, it is a once-in-a-decade immortal cultivation event, and there must be many people who come to participate, and I am afraid that it is too small to hold it in the village. Han Ming thought for a while and said.
"Well, that's right, but whatever, as long as those villages are really from the Qingyun faction, then we can inquire about the situation of the trading conference, hey, it seems that the two of us are smarter than ordinary people, and we can find here directly if we don't know anything", Huang Hua couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious.
"Nonsense, we're cultivators now, how can we compare to ordinary people?" Han Ming was also a little excited.
The two of them walked along the road for almost an hour, and finally found a forked dirt road, and the dirt road led to a village halfway up the mountain in the distance, but from a distance, the two did not notice any forbidden fluctuations around them.
"Huh, are we guessing wrong? It's only been a long time since there was a village, and there is no ban on fluctuations," Huang Hua was a little disappointed.
"Hey, no matter, let's go over and ask someone first," Han Ming frowned, and then stepped onto the dirt road.
The village halfway up the mountain, it seems to be very close, but it took half an hour for the two to walk, the village is very ordinary, it is a typical rural style of the Central Plains, the village is built on the mountain, the houses are high and low, there is a path that winds up from the entrance of the village to a wide platform with a mountain back, and at the end of the platform there is an ancestral hall similar to a mountain temple, there is a flagpole erected high at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and a yellow flag is hung on the flagpole, and the flag is embroidered with three big black characters, "Danyun Pavilion".
There was no one in the village, and the two of them followed the road directly to the entrance of the ancestral hall on the platform.
"Huh, it's strange, why isn't there anyone in this village?" Han Ming was a little puzzled.
"Han Ming, look at this flag, 'Danyun Pavilion', it's not easy to hear, how can such a book-like name appear in ordinary villages, there must be cultivators here, but no one can see it", Huang Hua was also a little strange.
"Whatever, they've already come here anyway, why don't we go in and have a look?" Han Ming thought for a while and said to Huang Hua.
"Okay, just take a look, what's there to be afraid of", as soon as the words fell, Huang Hua took the lead in entering the ancestral hall.
This ancestral hall is not too big, the front is a wall or entrance, there is a huge square table in front of the entrance, there is a statue of a god on the table, and there are a lot of fruits and pastries, and it is very fresh, Huang Hua and Han Ming looked at it for a long time and did not recognize what god it was, after turning around in the ancestral hall, they finally found that there was another passage behind the wall of the square table, and at the end of the passage was a closed stone door, the stone door was engraved with some profound pictures and texts, and these pictures and texts exuded a faint golden light.
"Haha, sure enough, there is a famous hall, there are runes on this stone door, is it the same as the stone door in the cave, there is a cave in it, should we go in and have a look now?" Han Ming found the stone gate and suddenly became happy.
"If you can open it, you can go in, since this stone gate is prohibited, it means that there must be cultivators here, since there are cultivators, it means that we have found the right place, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and try how to open it", Huang Hua was also very excited.
However, the two of them tried all the means but were never able to open the stone door, whether it was with divine thoughts, mana, or even brute force, the result was that the golden light on the door was dissolved in a flash, at most, the golden light shook a few more times.
Just as Huang Hua was thinking about whether to try it with a magic weapon, four people suddenly rushed in from outside the ancestral hall, and immediately surrounded the two of them in the middle.
There were three men and one woman, led by an old man who was about sixty years old, the old man didn't say a word, raised a black wooden staff in his hand and called Huang Hua, Huang Hua was startled and quickly flashed sideways.
The old man missed the blow, so the wooden staff swept towards Han Ming horizontally, Han Ming was also shocked, and subconsciously raised his hand to block, "Bang", the wooden staff hit Han Ming's blocked arm, and it made a sound similar to hitting metal.
"Hey, don't do it, don't do it, you have something to say", Han Ming said loudly while resisting.
The old man didn't pay attention to Han Ming at all, stopped and stretched out his hand, and took out a strange small red rope from his sleeve, and then began to chant some words, only to see that the small red rope suddenly became bigger and longer, and immediately flew towards Han Ming, before Han Ming could react in a hurry, the red rope wrapped around Han Ming and tied it tightly.
At the same time, one of the other three young people also threw a green square handkerchief into the air, as soon as the square handkerchief entered the air, it instantly swelled and emitted a dazzling green light, the square handkerchief spun in mid-air and then fell, and Huang Hua, who was about to rush out, was also tightly wrapped, and in the blink of an eye, both of them were caught.
"Where did the daring madman come from, he dared to trespass on my Qingyun Sect's Alchemy Pavilion land", the old man asked sternly after capturing the two of them.
"Uncle, uh, senior, we are just lost tourists, there is no malice, we just wanted to ask the village for directions, but there is no one in the village, so we will come here, don't misunderstand. Han Ming saw that the white light flashed on the old man's body, and he was actually a master in the late stage of foundation building, and several other people were also in the early stage of foundation building, so he hurriedly explained.
"Tourists, tourists who can practice, it seems that if I don't give you something powerful, you won't be able to say it. When the old man heard this, he was furious.
"No, senior, in fact, we are cultivators who came to attend the trading conference, but we got lost and couldn't find the venue, and there was no one here to ask, so we mistakenly thought that this was the road leading to the venue," Huang Hua quickly added.
"Participate in the trading conference, the trading conference has always been held in the mountain behind the peak of my sect goddess, there is still a lot of distance from here, how can you come here to participate in the trading conference, hmph, this is the important place of my Qingyun sect's alchemy, are you taking the opportunity to come here to steal my sect's elixir?" the old man asked sternly again with some disbelief.
"Senior, we didn't lie to you, we are really lost, I really don't know where the venue is, you see how can we come to steal things when our cultivation is so shallow, you must believe us, we are really wronged", Han Ming saw that these people were strong in mana, and thought that there had never been any laws in the immortal cultivation world, so he was really a little scared, so he hurriedly confessed truthfully.
The old man frowned, and looked at Han Ming and Huang Hua again, "Sure enough, it's a superficial cultivation, and at this age, it's still only six or seven layers in the Qi refining period, so I don't dare to come here to steal the elixir." The old man was somewhat convinced, so he asked.
"Which sect are you disciples of? Who is the master? The location of each trade fair of our sect is fixed, it has been in the back mountain of the Goddess Peak for hundreds of years, and the location of the other sects is also fixed, how can you not know?"
"We, uh, we are ......" Huang Hua didn't know how to answer.
"We are from the Meishan Wawu faction, and we originally came with other disciples in the sect, but last night the two of us had some mundane things to do, so we were left alone and lost", Han Ming saw that Huang Hua couldn't answer, so he quickly lied.
"Wawu faction? The Wawu faction in Meishan, Sichuan? Although I have always been stationed in the Dan Pavilion of this sect and rarely go out, I have heard of the Wawu faction, I heard that there is an elder surnamed Wu in your faction, who is very good at earth-based magical powers, well, well, since it is an unintentional move, this deacon will not care about you, you go to the trade fair", the old man waved his hand after speaking, put away the magic weapon with the young man, and motioned for the two to leave.
Han Ming and Huang Hua saw that they were not restrained, so they quickly got up from the ground and patted the dust to thank everyone repeatedly.
"Thank you seniors, eh, I'm really a little embarrassed, I don't know if you seniors can give us a map or guide us, otherwise we still can't find the venue", Han Ming asked a little embarrassed.
The old man smiled and shook his head, then took out a jade slip from his arms and put it on his forehead, and after a while, the old man put the jade slip down from his forehead and took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms, and handed it to Han Ming along with the jade slip.
"I have recorded the location and route of the conference in the jade slip, you only need to sacrifice this transmission note to the door control when you get outside the venue, and the ban will be opened," the old man made a gesture to see off the guests after speaking.
"Ah, great, thank you seniors for your advice", Han Ming and Huang Hua hurriedly thanked them, and then left the ancestral hall and walked out of the village.
