Text Chapter 1 There is a fairy gate in Xiangshan
There are seven days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather at night is already cool.
But this coolness is really nothing to cultivators, especially cultivators who are about to have a contest between sects.
At the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, a group of people are picking up steps. These people were disciples of another powerful sect, Guanyu Pavilion, and they were about to go to the Flying Immortal Gate to participate in the triennial fighting meeting.
Feixianmen and Guanyu Pavilion can be regarded as friendly, and for decades, there has never been a dispute between the two, and they have always lived in peace. Just thirteen years ago, Ren Shengxin of the Guanyu Pavilion took the initiative to propose to the Feixian Sect that this triennial fighting meeting should be held, so that the disciples under the sect could learn from each other and increase their knowledge and strength.
Although there was a vague meaning of competition between the two sects, this move undoubtedly increased the exchanges between the two sects, and then the relationship between the two became more intimate. Such a situation is also a deterrent in the eyes of some other ill-intentioned sects.
Three years ago, it was the Flying Immortal Sect that sent its disciples to the Guanyu Pavilion, and the Feixian Sect won, and this year it was the turn of the Guanyu Pavilion to go to the Flying Immortal Gate, and I don't know who would be the winner.
In the group, a young man named Yu Qing raised his head and looked at the shadow of the Feixian Gate that was faintly visible in the night, his expression focused.
Xiangshan is more than 3,000 zhang high, and Feixian Gate is standing on its top of the mountain. Judging from the place where the disciples of the Guanyu Pavilion were located, ordinary people naturally could not see the existence of any buildings, and even cultivators could only vaguely see some outlines.
Under the still crooked moon and the starry sky, that faint shadow is really extremely beautiful.
There is such a saying in the world, there is a fairy gate in Xiangshan, and its height is unattainable. At the same time, the terrain of the Flying Immortal Gate is so high that it also expresses the prominence of its status, and ordinary people cannot enter it at all.
Yu Qing remembered this sentence.
Climbing 3,000 zhang from the foot of the mountain is naturally very tiring. In fact, these people have already learned to fly with the sword, but the pavilion master has set the rule that starting from the foot of the mountain, they must hike up the mountain, first, to practice endurance, and second, to see this beautiful scenery. Today's climb happened to be at night, and it was planned a long time ago.
"Yu Qing, how is the scenery this time?" a woman's voice sounded, crisp and moving.
This person's name is Xu Jianyu, and she is a female cultivator in the Guanyu Pavilion, who is about the same age as Yu Qing and has a beautiful appearance. On weekdays, the relationship between the two is also very good, but this time she saw Yu Qing beside her looking up at the top of the mountain, so she asked with a chuckle.
Yu Qing retracted his gaze when he heard this, and said, "Of course it's good." ”
"Hehe, I've been looking forward to coming out to see this Xiangshan for a long time, and I begged for a long time before I agreed. Xu Jianyu said briskly.
"Heh, the next time I have the opportunity to go to the Huangsha Temple, it will be truly spectacular. ”
Xu Jianyu immediately shook his head when he heard this, "Don't go, don't go, what's so good about the broken desert, a group of monks are boring and dead." ”
"Don't talk nonsense. An elderly man with a long beard in front of him said, "Huangsha Temple is a sacred place of Buddhism that people in the world admire, how can it be boring?"
"Yes, Elder Xie, the disciple is wrong. Xu Jianyu quietly stuck out his tongue, obviously not taking this admonition to heart at all.
Fang Cai is the elder who led the trip, surnamed Xie, who is in charge of etiquette in the cabinet, and his appearance is also dignified, majestic and generous.
After a few breaths, Elder Xie spoke again: "This battle meeting is slightly different from the past, in Daqiu Prefecture, we discovered a spirit mine almost at the same time as the Flying Immortal Gate, and now we can't decide where it belongs, so the winning side of this battle will win that spirit mine." ”
As we all know, in addition to one's own efforts, the assistance of external materials is also indispensable. And the so-called spirit ore, is the most basic resources that can bring the practitioner, the spirit ore contains ore and other rare substances with spiritual power, with which you can make some weapons, or magic circles, and can also help the practitioner absorb spiritual power, it can be said that a large spiritual ore can make a force instantly increase a height. But after so many generations of excavation, the large spirit mines basically have their own belongings, so this time......
Sure enough, just when many disciples were suspicious, Elder Xie immediately said: "Of course, it's just a small mineral deposit, it doesn't matter if you can get it or not, the sect didn't plan to say it, but now that you have nothing to do, I'll tell you by the way." ”
......
Nearly two hours later, everyone was about to reach the top of the mountain, and the buildings of the Feixian Gate were clearly visible, and if they continued to walk forward for a while, they were occupied by the gate standing on the mountain road ahead.
The width of the door is about three zhang, the height is more than ten zhang, the color is simple, it seems to be made of bronze, but the spiritual power lines that flow out from time to time show that this is not an extraordinary product. It blocked the entire path of the road, and was flanked by stone walls, with a cloud of mist drifting at the top edge.
It seems that the mountain gate more than ten zhang high seems to be an ornament for cultivators who can fly with a sword, but it is not. Not to mention that the Flying Immortal Gate does not allow people from the world to fly over the mountain gate, the magic circle hidden on the mountain gate can block almost all the cultivators in this world.
There are many carved patterns on the door, mostly of immortals, but unlike the earthly objects, these figures seem to have an ethereal spirituality, and they do not have the weight of this gate at all, as if they exist independently of this door.
"Yu Qing, along the way I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery, now see this quaint mountain gate, it is worth the trip, I never thought that this heavy mountain gate can also have such a realm, it seems that the Huangsha Temple you said, I should also go to enjoy it. Xu Jianyu said with emotion.
Yu Qing sneered twice when he heard this: "Seeing this scene, I want to pound this thing." ”
"You have a grudge against this. Xu Jianyu glared at him and said angrily, "Is it the Flying Immortal Gate that harmed your whole family?"
"You know that. Yu Qing pretended to be surprised.
At this moment, the mountain gate slowly opened, and an old man led eight disciples out of it. It may be due to the magic circle, the night color in the Flying Immortal Gate is different from the plane, and the inside does not look black, but a faint blue, so the figures of these people are particularly obvious.
After walking out of the door, the old man and the disciple behind him stood still. The old man spoke: "You fellow Daoists have come from afar to work hard, I am He Tai, the elder of the Rites, and I am here to welcome you. ”
A group of Guanyu Pavilion disciples saluted and said in unison, "I've seen Elder He." ”
"I'm really ashamed to bother your family in the middle of the night. Elder Xie also said politely to He Tai of the Flying Immortal Sect.
"Haha, you and I are cultivators, how can we talk about such a trivial matter!" Elder He laughed, "Everyone, please come with me, the contempt has already arranged accommodation, although it is simple, it is not hindered to rest!"
......
Yu Qing and the others were arranged in the guest room, although it was not luxurious, it was not as simple as He Tai said.
Yu Qing stayed in his house, unloaded the sword behind his back, and then came to the window, quietly watching the scenery of the Flying Immortal Gate under the night sky.
......
"Xu Zeyang, you must remember that after tonight, you are not my Xu Hong's son, you are just a nameless child!" In the midst of the fire and the flying swords in the sky, a man shouted loudly to the panicked child in front of him, "Forget the Baizhang Gate, forget the life you have had, like an ordinary cultivator!"
"Daddy, who are the people who killed us?" cried the child.
"Don't ask that!" the man said sternly, so much so that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Eventually, the man smiled lightly as if he were self-deprecating, and said, "Forget it, it's okay to tell you, but you have to remember that you must not have any thoughts of revenge!"
"Why?" cried the child.
"Don't ask why, promise Dad!"
"Hmm!" the child clenched his little hand and nodded with tears.
The man's expression was slightly slower, and he said a little tiredly: "They are the Flying Immortal Gate. ”
At this time, a magic circle lit up on the ground under the boy's feet, and the light was not bright, but it also shrouded the child in it.
The child's last glimpse in this place was the back of his father carrying his sword and rushing into the sky under the night sky.
......
Yu Qing in front of the window shook his head, and walked to the bed, ready to rest.
The fight will start tomorrow, and the rules are simple, just win the opponent. Of course, the competition between the two sects will not be a life-and-death contest, and there are rules that say that the foundation and potential of the disciples cannot be harmed, but they cannot restrict the disciples from exerting their spiritual power, so how can we determine whether they win or lose?
It is almost impossible for a disciple to take the initiative to admit defeat, then the only solution is to judge by the elder with profound skills, once one party's move can obviously suppress the opponent, and the other party cannot accept the move in time, the elder can take action to stop the fight.
There are two battles, namely a single competition and a double competition, as the name suggests, that is, one-on-one and two-pair.
Yu Qing's gaze swept over the sword placed on the table, he felt that he still had some confidence, at least in one-on-one, if nothing else, he would not be defeated.
As for the two-person fight, it depends on who you are paired with......
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?" Yu Qing's voice was slightly alert, after all, it was in another sect.
"It's me, Yu Qing, you open the door. Outside the door was Xu Jianyu's voice.
Yu Qing got up and went to open the door, let her in, and said suspiciously: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you running here with me, aren't you afraid of what others will see and say?"
"Hmph, what is this woman afraid of. Xu Jianyu straightened his nose and said, "What's more, I'm here to talk to you about business." ”
"There's something serious that can't be said tomorrow, it's three watches in the middle of the night, and I can't think of anything to do with you. ”
"I'm here to tell you about the fight, I want to be with you in the two-on-two fight, how about I?" Xu Jianyu looked at him expectantly and said.
"Huh?" Yu Qing scratched his head, "Of course I'm fine, but isn't it up to the division commander to decide?"
"Oh, you brainshit. Xu Jianyu said, "That Elder Xie doesn't look serious on the outside, he is actually very easy to speak, especially this kind of innocuous thing." ”
