Chapter 38, Entering the Countryside and Customs

Daliang Mountain has a radius of 800 miles, and the mountains are undulating. Three of these peaks have the strongest aura. The highest mountain, Shenjian Peak, is occupied by the head of the sect and the elders of the inner sect, and most of the various institutions of the sect are concentrated on this peak, and there are nearly five hundred cultivators plus ordinary maids, singers and dancers, and winemakers.

The second peak, Black Cloud Peak, is resident with the disciples of this sect, and before there is no advanced Qi cultivation stage, these people basically have no chance to cultivate in Divine Sword Peak. The disciples of the Great Liang Sect on this peak plus the ordinary servants also have one or two hundred.

The third peak, Qingzhu Peak, was left to the various Qi Cultivators and Foundation Builders, with the fewest cultivators and the largest number of mortals, close to a thousand. Most of these ordinary people have full-time jobs, and nearly 900 of them are not on the peak, but digging spirit stones day and night in the mines on the mountainside, and less than 100 of them are serving the cultivators at the peak.

There are nearly ten other peaks, but because of the problem of spiritual energy, they can only be used to grow spiritual grass elixirs or raise some low-level beasts and insects, and several peaks have not even been opened up so far, and there are some undomesticated ancient beasts in them.

Most of these ancient beasts are not open, and their supernatural powers are similar to the qi cultivation among cultivators. The first-order ancient beasts correspond to the early stage of qi training, the second-order ancient beasts correspond to the middle stage of qi training, and the third-order ancient beasts correspond to the late stage of qi training. I haven't heard of or seen the existence of more than third-order ancient beasts inside, so over time, this has become the venue for similar trials in the Great Liang Gate, once every three years, there is a special magic circle on weekdays, and you are not allowed to trespass without permission.

As a second-order high-grade spiritual land, the aura of the three peaks is actually not much different, but because the mountain is different, the shape of the Divine Sword Peak is the most sold, and the mountain is bare like a sword inserted into the ground (Liu San'er has not seen which one looks like it several times), so it is called the Divine Sword Peak, as the front of the gate of the girder.

And in order to show the importance that Daliang attaches to foreign visitors and guests, from the beginning of the establishment of Daliangmen, Qingzhufeng, which is the second-best seller, was not left to the disciples, but cheapened the foreign casual cultivation.

Qingzhu Peak has an ordinary appearance, it is named after the green bamboo in the mountains, and it is evergreen in all seasons, and it is indeed much better than the Black Cloud Peak where there is only a huge black cloud tree at the top of the peak.

The black cloud tree on the black cloud peak is more than three zhang in diameter, and the canopy of the tree shades the entire peak covering an area of dozens of acres. The branches and foliage of the black cloud tree are very thin, and they look more like black silk mesh from a distance during the day. But for some reason, there will be black fog between the branches and leaves at night, covering the entire mountain, so it is named Black Cloud Peak. It is said that this tree has existed when the beam gate was sealed, and the initial head of the sect had wanted to cut it down because of its ugly appearance and the tree species of the Demon Yuan Continent, but with its Jin Dan cultivation and Wu Daozi, the two Jin Dan tried their best and failed to succeed, and finally found Tsing Yi to inspect and help, but because the other party's asking price was too high, the black cloud tree had no effect on the aura, but it didn't look good, so it finally did it.

......

In the middle of the night, the weather was quite cold.

Liu San'er stood barefoot and dressed in single clothes in the bamboo forest behind Qingzhu Peak, breathing the essence of heaven and earth aura to practice the Yin Fu Sutra exercises.

In the eyes of the slave servants, the new immortal master is unfathomable, in the eyes of the other guest kings, the exercises of the fellow practitioners are unique, and in the eyes of the guest elders, there is suspicion and concern!

To tell the truth, according to Liu San'er's original intention, he didn't want to run out in the middle of the night to pretend to be a ghost, but he was really forced by the situation!

There are two guest elders on Qingzhu Peak, six guest secretaries, one guest has been in retreat for a long time, and the other guest secretaries have not seen his appearance, only know his surname Ding. Another guest handsome man is said to be not practicing at Qingzhu Peak because he wants to create exercises, and he will come back once every six months or so. The rest of the guests all have all kinds of jaw-dropping weirdness.

Cheng Yi, the chief guest secretary, has to bury himself in the fresh soil for two hours every day; the mountain guard guest Qing Li Yin has a good bed and does not sleep, sleeps on two ropes, and has to change it every day; at dawn, the mountain guard guest Qing Zhai Shan will make a roar that is worse than a buffalo drinking water, and roar for half an hour, replacing the function of the rooster in Daliangmen; Fan Tong, the mountain guard, redeemed two beautiful prostitutes in the room, and also seduced the ordinary women of Daliangmen in all aspects; and the new mountain guard Keqing with Liu San'er recklessly used twelve chickens every day to practice his clumsy flying sword skills!

There are many cultivators in the world, Liu San'er has seen some of them when he was in Da Zhoumen, and he has also come into contact with a few of them this time, it can't be said that all of them are not weird, but they are rarely seen, and no one uses weirdness as a capital to show off.

Cheng Yi secretly called Liu San'er and said that he should follow the customs of the villagers!

How is the demeanor of a cultivator like this? How different is it from those god-stick witches who are mixed in with the mundane! On second thought, there are the most people among the mundane on Qingzhu Peak, and as an immortal master, it is inevitable that they will be compared, and in the ordinary situation that there is no competition, doing something different can always attract some attention. Attention is often proportional to gain and respect, a guest immortal master doesn't do anything, who will know how powerful you are? and who will have nothing to do to slap you? which guest qing fellow daoists will take you in their eyes? how can guest elders pay attention to you? when will your name be heard on the Divine Sword Peak? and more importantly, when will you be able to meet the head Liang Zhongyuan!

Liu San'er sighed, and had to seriously consider what kind of style he designed for himself.

If you meditate in bed with the habit of eating well and sleeping well, it is obvious that you will not be able to get along, and nine out of ten will be regarded as liars by ordinary people who have no eyes. Although Liu San applied for the talisman guest, he also has two days of coordinated patrol missions in the middle of every month, so he can't leave the ordinary imperial weapon flight every time and return to the ordinary imperial weapon flight!

After thinking about it, I had to learn from the other Keqing three watches to get up in the middle of the night and toss blindly.

Each guest on Qingzhu Peak has an independent courtyard, and there are special subordinates to serve them. Liu San'er was assigned to the vacant after the resignation of the previous guest secretary, the environment is very elegant, and it is adjacent to the courtyard of the chief guest secretary Cheng Yi.

For the first time, when tossing in the bamboo forest, Liu San'er was tired, sleepy and cold, and as a cultivator, he almost fell ill.

The second time, Liu San'er had already adapted a lot, and when he came to toss, he unintentionally entered the cultivation of the Yin Fu Sutra. The fresh aura in the bamboo forest made him feel the vitality of nature's life, triggering the flow of breath in his body, like a hearty bath, washing away a whole layer of long-accumulated dirt.

The third, the fourth, the fifth... It's all true.

At the same time, the consequence was that in less than a month, his talisman making skills had improved significantly, and now the success rate of making invisibility talismans had reached four out of ten, and the success rate of cleaning talismans and dust avoidance talismans had also reached three out of ten, but the success rate of the most difficult Yin Fire talisman was less than two out of ten.

In any case, Liu San'er fell in love with this bamboo forest, and also fell in love with this feeling of accelerated cultivation, as if he had returned to the way he was when he first entered the Great Zhou Mountain, if he followed this speed, reaching the fifth level of qi cultivation was just around the corner. No longer relying on the Nameless Sword Book, no more killing, this is a new and never-before-seen feeling, which makes him intoxicated and addicted.

The life-and-death battle with the three strong Xiuzhen in Mingluo City was the most dangerous, oppressive and terrifying battle in Liu San'er's life. The strength and skills were used to the extreme, but the result was completely won by luck by relying on the nameless sword spectrum.

It may be that the extremely powerful external pressure squeezed out all the potential in Liu San'er's body, making him return to the original feeling of cultivation again.

The process of integrating heaven and man into nature in the bamboo forest is the process of Liu San'er returning to his original cultivation feeling bit by bit.

In this process, Liu San'er felt that her ears and eyes were much sharper, her mood was much calmer, and her appearance and demeanor seemed to be much more ordinary.

For such a harvest, Liu San'er is not happy, the negative impact of the nameless sword spectrum has not been eliminated, every time he thinks that there is still the urge to draw his sword and kill, this hidden danger is not eliminated for a day, he is not really happy for a day.

With a slight smile, Liu San'er returned to his normal state and slowly opened his eyes.

......

Cheng Yi held a bag of wine and food, and sat leisurely on the eaves of Liu San'er's courtyard, looking at the white and bright moon.

Along the long ladder, Liu San'er climbed the eaves more than a foot high, sat next to Cheng Yi, and said, "Cheng Daoyou is on duty this month?"

"Yes, if you are inconvenient for the past two days, I will help you top, anyway, it is just a formality!" Cheng Yi did not look down on Liu San'er because he didn't jump up to the eaves, and it was not a master to show his skills at every turn.

Liu San'er hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, the Divine Sword Peak doesn't let me pay much every month, and I'm not short of this time." ”

"Okay then! I got some wine and food from the kitchen, let's try it!" Cheng Yi smiled and said, "It's going to be the day of the handsome elder going to the long exam again!"

In order to create a unique set of sword cultivation techniques, the guest elder Gao Shuai came back once in half a year, and the time at a time was not more than ten days.

Liu San'er has seen the handsome side, the tall and handsome one, the second-layer cultivation of the foundation, the spiritual pressure is ordinary, and he carries two magic weapon long swords behind his back, both of which are second-order high-grade, judging from the flashing halo above, each handle has at least two additional attributes that can be used against the enemy. He is very cold, but he has no ill will towards anyone, and he looks upright and selfless, and it is said that he likes to stay in the dark room for a long time to think, that is, to take a long exam, so that he can devote himself to the creation of exercises.

It is very natural that when Gao Shuai took the long exam, even Liang Zhongyuan, the head of the Liang Sect, did not want to disturb him, let alone others.

Therefore, when the handsome man takes the exam, the guests on duty can be lazy. Anyway, patrolling the mountains at night, there are disciples of the Great Liang Sect in the early stage of qi cultivation to do it, and it is originally a formality, there is a large array to protect the mountain, and there has never been any dangerous incident for dozens of years. What's more, there are also Gao Shuai and Ding surnamed Zhuji sitting on their heads, and there is even more Liang Zhongyuan, who is in the middle stage of Qi training, on the Divine Sword Peak. If something happens, they will definitely be the first to strike. If it was useless for them to make a move, I think the guest secretaries, including the disciples of the Great Liang Sect, would not need to come out and be embarrassed.

It is worth mentioning that the laziness of the guest secretaries is precisely based on the strict second-order high-grade mountain protection array of the Great Liang Gate and the dedication of the disciples in the early stage of the Great Liang Gate's qi training. Compared with the first-order mid-grade mountain protection array of the Great Zhou Gate, plus unmanned patrols, this place is simply an impregnable wall.

It is said that Brother Daliang Menbei was born in a military family, and later learned the formation from his teacher, so he is very proficient in defense.

Within 200 steps outside the mountain protection array, it is regarded as a forbidden area of death. Usually, the cultivators of the Great Liang Gate and the ordinary people inside the door all go in and out of the big formation gate, and no one dares to be at will. Because countless ignorant birds and beasts have confirmed the horrors of the forbidden zone of death with their misfortunes.

Every morning, a few disciples trained by Senior Brother Pei went to inspect the death forbidden area, checking whether there were any omissions everywhere by the way, and sometimes bringing back some unexpected gains to fill their stomachs.

Within the big array, it is not simple. The ultimate manufacturing of mundane hidden weapons has everything, so that there are no dead ends in the girder door.

The early stage of Qi cultivation disciples of the Great Liang Sect are said to be patrolling the mountain in order to hone their will, which can make them go longer and farther on the road in the future, while the disciples who have survived the early stage of Qi training do not need to participate in patrols anymore, they only need to participate in the cultivation seminar on time, or obey the dispatch of Shenjian Peak.

Liu San'er had never seen the appearance of the third-order array, but when he saw the Great Liangmen Mountain Protection Array on the first day, he still couldn't help but sigh and said, the third-order array is probably nothing more than that!

When Senior Brother Bei heard this, he laughed so hard that the wrinkles on his face almost fell.

Cheng Yi shook his head disappreciatively.

Liu San'er understood what he meant. The opponent of Daliangmen is not a good match, the arrangement is said to be like this, of course, it can be blocked when encountering individual scattered cultivation and attacking the mountain, but it is completely in vain to encounter the attack of forces of the same level or even high level as Daliangmen.

Senior Brother Bei's arrangement allows Keqing to have one person sit in the patrol room every night to deal with emergencies, while the children of Daliangmen's early stage of qi training have to work hard and work hard all night to act as a sentry or patrol back and forth!

This is just one of the worlds of difference between the treatment of the Daliang Sect Keqing and the disciples in the early stage of Qi cultivation!

There is a difference in realm, and there should be a difference in remuneration, which is acceptable to all.

In terms of clothing, the disciples in the early stage of Qi cultivation demanded to unify the clothing provided by the Great Liang Gate. As for the disciples of Keqing and the Daliangmen in the middle of Qi training, although the Daliangmen also provides clothes made by high-quality cloth master tailors, they are selected by Keqing and the disciples in the middle of Qi training, and there are no specific requirements. It would naturally be better if Keqing or a disciple in the middle stage of Qi cultivation had a defensive robe on his body, but the Great Liang Sect would not provide these.

If you don't patrol on weekdays, the guests of Qingzhu Peak and the disciples of Heiyun Peak hardly meet, and there are few contradictions.

Gao Shuai often wears a set of white-washed robes with patches everywhere, not magic weapons, ordinary kinds, most of the people who go out of the beam gate will be mistaken for beggars. It is said that because his clothes were too old and torn to be sewn with ordinary fabric. Therefore, Daliangmen sent a tailor to learn how to sew old clothes in the city, and bought a lot of special high-end fabrics to come back for backup. As a result, a patch on a handsome dress is often more expensive than three sets of clothes for ordinary people!

Perhaps due to the influence of the handsome, the guests dressed casually.

There is a joke circulating near the Daliang Gate, in the Daliang Gate, the gorgeously dressed are the children of the Daliang Gate, but the patches on the clothes are all poor jingling guests (I don't know how the guest surnamed Ding is)!
