Chapter 35: The Imperial City and Old Acquaintances

"Good status, let's go in. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The middle-aged monk briefly checked it, and returned the token to Yuan Fei.

"Thank you, brother. After Yuan Fei put away the token, he hugged his fist at the middle-aged monk and walked into the main hall.

At this time, the hall was empty, and there was only an old man in his fifties, sitting on a wide animal skin chair with his eyelids closed and his eyes closed.

This old man is none other than 'Jiang Hong', the head of the Nine Swords Sect.

As soon as Yuan Fei entered the main hall, Jiang Hong's consciousness moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Disciple Ji Peng, see Uncle Leader. Yuan Fei looked respectful, and hurriedly bowed deeply.

"You are Ji Peng?" Jiang Hong asked lightly after glancing at Yuan Fei slightly.

"It's the disciple. Yuan Fei replied honestly.

"You don't have to be nervous, it's not a big deal for the old man to come to you this time. It's just that I heard that you haven't accepted a sect mission for about ten years, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"This ...... Returning to the head of the sect, because of the mediocre qualifications of the disciples, in order to make the disciples concentrate on cultivation, Uncle Chen came forward to reduce the sect tasks for the disciples for ten years. ”

With the identity of the head of the Nine Swords Sect on the other side, it was nothing to find out these trivial matters, so Yuan Fei just turned his mind and said without concealing it.

"These old men also know a little bit about it. However, the sect stipulates that even if you are a descendant of the ancestors, if you can't advance to the Rongyuan period within ten years, you must also accept the tasks of the sect. You are an ordinary outer disciple, and you have not received a sect mission for ten years now, which is the first time. But even with the protection of Qianyun, the ten-year period has arrived, and it really can't be delayed any longer. After Jiang nodded, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

"The disciple naturally knows the rules of this sect. Even if the head of the sect is not summoned in person, the disciple is already planning to go to the mission pavilion to receive the task in the near future. Yuan Fei's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly saluted.

"You don't have to go to the Mission Pavilion. The old man has a task to be handed over to you here. After shaking his head, Master Jiang suddenly said.

"Boss, please. Yuan Fei was stunned at first, but immediately gave a salute.

"A few days ago, the lord of the country of Japan Xia sent an envoy to ask Benzong to come forward to investigate the theft of the national treasure, and the old man plans to send you there, I don't know what you think?"

"Lord of Yuanxia Country, we are immortal cultivators, what does it have to do with the secular court?" Hearing this, Yuan Fei couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

"There's nothing strange about that. Although we are immortal cultivators, we are also inevitably required for food and clothing, and some of these are handled by the secular disciples of our sect, and the other part is provided by the secular court.

Of course, in addition to these, it will also collect a certain amount of immortal cultivation resources for each major sect every year. Now that he is asking the sect to come forward to help, the sect naturally can't do anything. Master Jiang explained briefly.

"That's right. Since the head of the sect has a life, the disciple will definitely try his best to complete the task. After Yuan Fei's eyes rolled slightly, he respectfully agreed.

Speaking of which, Yuan Fei did not have a good impression of the Yuan Xia court. But the uncle in charge of the family has spoken, and he doesn't dare to disobey.

"That's good. The old man has asked his disciple to arrange the envoy of Yuanxia Kingdom in the guest room at the outer gate, and the guards will take you there later. After nodding his head, Master Jiang commanded.

"Yes. If the head of the master has nothing else to do, then the disciple will retire first. Yuan Fei clasped his fists and saluted.

Master Jiang waved his hand, and Yuan Fei honestly withdrew from the hall.

After standing outside the main hall, Yuan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know what's going on, although Master Jiang has a smile on his face from beginning to end, as long as he stands in front of him, he will unconsciously have a feeling of fear in his heart.

As soon as the middle-aged monk outside the hall saw Yuan Fei walk out, he gestured to him, and then led the way in front.

Yuan Fei didn't ask much, and hurriedly followed.

......

Half an hour later, the light at the mountain gate of the Nine Swords Sect flashed, and a black light rose into the air, and then flew straight into the sky in a certain direction.

In the light, two figures could be vaguely seen, one of them was handsome, dressed in a black shirt, and there was no doubt that it was Yuan Fei. The other person was a short and fat young man in a blue robe with small eyes.

This short and fat young man was the messenger sent by the Yuan Xia Kingdom.

After Yuan Fei followed the middle-aged guard to the outer door guest room, the envoy was naturally flattered, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he nodded and bowed.

Yuan Fei glanced at the envoy's chubby appearance, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

So since they met, Yuan Fei ignored his love.

After sending the middle-aged monk away, Yuan Fei went to receive the token to go down the mountain, and left the Nine Swords Sect with the messenger.

This envoy of the Yuanxia Kingdom seemed to have never flown with a royal weapon, standing on a flying sword, his legs trembling all the time, trembling at the scenery flying by him, but his eyes revealed a deep envy.

Seeing this, Yuan Fei glanced at it slightly, but instead of paying any attention to it, he deliberately accelerated his flight speed, and sometimes slowly, sometimes urgently, up and down, which frightened him.

Of course, Yuan Fei was also clear about proportion, and after teaching the other party some lessons, he flew unhurriedly in the direction pointed by the other party.

In this way, the two of them stopped and stopped, and after more than ten days, a huge imperial city appeared in front of their eyes.

The city walls were tall and heavy, and the gates were guarded by many soldiers, each wearing armor and holding swords and halberds.

With Yuan Fei's means, it was naturally not difficult to quietly enter the imperial city without alarming the city gate guards, but he did not do so, but landed outside the city gate.

In any case, this imperial city is also the territory of the secular lord of the Yuanxia Kingdom, although it is a guest itself, it can only enter after obtaining the consent of the other party.

"Immortal Master Ji, the lord of the country has an order, after arriving in the Imperial City, the Immortal Master can go to the VIP room of the Imperial City to rest first, and there is no need to report it separately. After the envoy let out a sigh of relief, he hurriedly jumped down from the flying sword, wiped the cold sweat from his pale face, and said with a flattering smile.

Along the way, he was frightened by Yuan Fei, and I am afraid that he will never dare to fly with a magic weapon in the future.

"That's right. Then ask the envoy to take Ji to meet other Taoist friends first. Yuan Fei glanced at the other party's embarrassed appearance, and said with a smile in his heart.

The messenger nodded "yes" and led the way.

On the way to the Imperial City, Yuan Fei had already learned a little about what had happened from the other party.

However, the envoy did not know very well, only that the lord of the country seemed to have a national heirloom in his hand. No one has ever seen what it is.

Not long ago, this treasure disappeared inexplicably, which made the lord of the country furious.

But after careful and thorough investigation several times, no clues were found at all.

With such a strange thing, the lord of the country naturally thought of the immortal cultivator. So after thinking about it, it was decided to send an envoy to Xianmen for help.

In addition to this person, there are several other envoys who have gone to the three major righteous sects of Yuhua Palace, Kunyuan Sect and Xuantian Sect, if it goes well, there should also be monks coming to the Imperial City, and calculating the time, they will arrive at the Imperial City one step ahead of the two of them.

With this envoy of the lord leading the way, naturally no one dared to stop them, and the two of them walked into the inner courtyard of the imperial city.

It was the first time for Yuan Fei to come to the Imperial City, so he was inevitably curious, and glanced around from time to time.

And along the way, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There are many palaces in this imperial city, and the decoration is magnificent and gorgeous, and I don't know how much silver taels it will cost to build, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

But most of the secular people are poor and destitute, and they do not have enough to eat, and they really do not know how the lord of the country governs.

Although he is an immortal cultivator, there is a rule in the immortal cultivation world that monks are not allowed to mix with the worldly regime, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he cannot interfere in it.

Just as the thoughts in their hearts were turning, the two of them had come to an elegant courtyard.

As soon as he walked into it, Yuan Fei felt that there were a few not weak breaths in a certain room, and he thought that they were fellow Daoists of the other three sects.

At the same time, the monk in the room seemed to have discovered Yuan Fei, and suddenly the door opened, and several people walked out of it.

The first person is a young woman in her twenties, wearing a goose yellow dress, tall and beautiful.

Behind the woman in the yellow dress is a middle-aged man with a thin figure.

Another thing Yuan Fei was puzzled by was that there were actually three small bags hanging from his waist, bulging bags, and he didn't know what they contained.

Finally, there was a sturdy young man, about the same age as Yuan Fei, with dark skin.

"Huh?" After Yuan Fei swept over the faces of the three of them, his eyes finally fell on the sturdy young man at the end.

It's not that the stout young man looks surprised, but that he feels as if he's seen each other somewhere.

And after the sturdy young man looked at Yuan Fei a few times, he also looked stunned.

"Dare to ask Daoyou's surname Yuan?" the sturdy young man suddenly asked with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Are you Shi Song?" Yuan Fei also had an idea, but he still couldn't believe it.

If his guess is correct, the sturdy young man in front of him is the gray-clothed young man 'Shi Song' that he saved when he passed by Huangliang Mountain.

"It seems that you and my brother are really destined, and after ten years, we actually met here. It's just that the younger brother didn't expect that Brother Yuan actually became a disciple of the Nine Swords Sect, which is really gratifying. Shi Song's face was overjoyed, and regardless of the eyes of others, he stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Fei's arm, and said with an excited expression.

"Brother Shi is not the same as a disciple of the Four Righteous Dao Sects, so I don't know which sect it is?" said Yuan Fei with a smile on his face.

"The younger brother is not talented, and now he is an outer disciple of the Kunyuan faction. Shi Song said with a smile.

"That's right. By the way, Brother Wei has now changed his name to Ji Peng, don't tell me about it. Yuan Fei nodded suddenly, then lowered his voice and whispered.

"Brother Ji, rest assured. Shi Song was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he didn't ask more, patted his chest and said.

Yuan Fei saw that Shi Songji was cooperative, and smiled with satisfaction.

Although this is not the Nine Swords Sect, who knows if it will be known by the sect afterwards?

"Since the two Taoist friends know each other, let's go to the house first. At this time, the thin middle-aged man suddenly grinned and spoke.

He was also confused by the words of the two, and he couldn't figure out how to call him "Brother Yuan" and "Brother Ji" for a while, but several people came for a common purpose this time, so they naturally had to understand each other first.

"Whether the envoy recuses himself or not, there are some things to discuss between my fellow believers. Yuan Fei nodded, then glanced at the messenger.

He was also interested, and after giving a salute to a few people, he obediently left the courtyard.
