Chapter 182: Pingyang City
Although Pingyang City is located on the border of Cangzhou, it is the most prosperous city in Cangzhou, all because of the Tianxin Pavilion in the city.
In Pingyang City, there were not only a large number of local immortal cultivators, but also many strangers, who gathered from all over the world with the desire to become disciples of Tianxin Pavilion.
It's just that these people came to Pingyang City, but few of them really realized their dreams, and most of them were hidden in the crowd in obscurity.
At this moment, there were two flags fluttering in the wind, and Yin Tiancheng and Lu Wu, who had just arrived, frowned slightly after seeing the words embroidered on the flags.
One of the flags has the name of the city written on it, which is also a very normal thing, but on the other flag, there are three gilded characters of "Tianxin Pavilion".
No wonder Yin Tiancheng sighed in his heart, it was the first time he saw the name of the Immortal Cultivation Sect floating on the head of the city alongside the name of the city.
Lu Wu sneered when he saw this scene, and said disdainfully: "Immortal cultivators are most afraid of greedy fame and fortune and chasing the world's false fame. Since Tianxin Pavilion is so showy, it can be seen that this immortal cultivation sect is not to worry, and the disciples in the sect are all people who deceive their names and steal the world. ”
"You can't say that, if they are like what Brother Lu said, then the first position of the Cangzhou Alliance will not be Liu Rulong's turn to sit. The words were very cautious, but Yin Tiancheng was deeply convinced of Lu Wu's words.
"Ah, that's not the way you usually speak. You told me that in the past, several masters of Tianxin Pavilion came to Ganzao Mountain to look for trouble, and you beat them all over the ground looking for teeth, is this bragging?"
"That's exactly what I said. Yin Tiancheng did not deny it, and then said: "Including Sun Protector, who has some friendship with me, those Tianxin Pavilion elders and Dharma protectors who have dealt with me are all capable people. However, although their status in Tianxin Pavilion is not low, I have not met him so far. ”
"You're talking about their boss Liu Rulong. Lu Wu smiled evilly and said: "When I enter Tianxin Pavilion, I will use Xuanyang's identity to have a spell exchange and exchange with this sect master, and then keep the suspicious life that beats him, so that Tianxin Pavilion will lose face, and no one will dare to underestimate your Feiyu Gate from now on." ”
Hearing Lu Wu's crooked idea, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help laughing, and then said with a straight face: "When you enter Tianxin Pavilion, you still give me honesty, don't make trouble." ”
"Ahh Don't tell me, it's because of the losses these days, so people have become a lot more honest. ”
"Of course not. Although I have never met Liu Rulong, I don't take him seriously. In Tianxin Pavilion, what really interests me is another person. ”
"Tell me who he is. Lu Wu suddenly became interested.
"He is Liu Rulong's precious son Liu Xi, I heard that this Liu Gongzi is a rare cultivation genius in the world, so I want to take this opportunity to see it. ”
"Hehe, it's just a human being, how powerful can it be. Lu Wu didn't care.
"This Liu Gongzi is not simple, if Xuanyang hadn't told me about the origin of this person before leaving, I wouldn't have known that this character existed in Tianxin Pavilion. ”
Yin Tiancheng introduced Liu Xi's origin to Lu Wu, this Liu Gongzi has shown a super talent for cultivation since he was a child, he began to cultivate at the age of three, and by the time he was fifteen years old, he was already an invincible opponent in Cangzhou.
It is said that there are many cultivators from other places who came to him to challenge, but they were also defeated by this Liu Gongzi, so Tianxin Pavilion has a reputation far and wide, and he also has a share of credit.
At the end, Yin Tiancheng opened his mouth and praised again: "I heard that Liu Xi has no other hobbies besides cultivation, so it is difficult for my cultivators in Cangzhou, including the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion, to see him, so many people don't know what Liu Xi looks like." ”
"That's a little too boring, in life, you always have to go out to play in the mountains and rivers and taste the local food. You see me like this, isn't it quite leisurely, this is the life that should be enjoyed. ”
"Come on, you're too shameless, how can you compare yourself to him. Yin Tiancheng glared at him and said, "You are an immortal, you have already reached the peak of cultivation, what else can you pursue? If I were like you, I wouldn't need to cultivate hard." ”
"That's not right!" Lu Wu suddenly frowned and said, "Since Tianxin Pavilion has such a powerful person, why did Liu Rulong let you go to the Gathering Immortals Conference? Wouldn't it be a better choice to directly let his baby son be in the limelight at the conference?"
"You don't know this, Liu Xi has been in retreat and cultivation for six years, and it is said that he will not come out until the end of the year, he is afraid that he will not have time to participate in the Gathering Immortals Conference, so Liu Rulong hopes that I can participate in this conference. ”
Lu Wu was silent, according to common sense, unless you achieve the goal of retreat and cultivation in advance, otherwise if you forcibly leave the customs in advance, it is very likely that you will fall short, or even go mad.
"Stop chatting, let's go into the city and find Liu Rulong. ”
As soon as they entered Pingyang City, the lively and prosperous scene came into their eyes, there were so many pedestrians on the street like a tide, and the voices of merchants and hawkers selling along the street were also one after another.
What surprised Yin Tiancheng was not this prosperous scene, but the fact that he saw many immortal cultivators wearing various costumes around him.
After a rough count, he found that the immortal cultivators on the street accounted for more than one-third of the crowd, which made him realize that Tianxin Pavilion had been operating hard in Pingyang City for hundreds of years, and had already accumulated super popularity and profound heritage in the local area.
Walking all the way, those immortal cultivators who passed by from time to time, many of them rode mounts, and these mounts turned out to be birds and beasts that ordinary people could not control, and some even demon beasts with a certain path.
Lu Wu suddenly muttered: "Damn, I knew that I would have asked you to fly over on Lushu, at least it would allow us to show off here, so that we wouldn't be so embarrassed as we are now." ”
"Yes, it's me who didn't arrange it properly, and I didn't take into account a lot of problems. Yin Tiancheng nodded in response, many of his thoughts and plans before coming have quietly changed at this time.
He realized that although he had defeated some masters of Tianxin Pavilion before, he still thought about the problem a little too simply.
He now understood that the reason why Tianxin Pavilion was able to become the boss of the Cangzhou Immortal Cultivation Sect was not because the disciples in the sect had strong cultivation, but because the comprehensive strength of the entire sect was many times stronger than that of other sects.
On the other hand, Feiyumen, in addition to the undefeated record he has obtained in the past year, is completely several grades worse than others in other aspects.
Therefore, he previously hoped that through one or two things that would discredit Liu Rulong, he could achieve the idea of forcing the alliance leader to step down, which was simply very immature.
Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly a tiger-sized golden eagle flew down from the sky with a roar, and the surrounding pedestrians were scattered, and the middle-aged man sitting on the back of the eagle wearing a dark blue robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes had already turned over and bowed to Yin Tiancheng and said, "Senior Deadwood, I didn't expect you to come to Pingyang City too." ”
Yin Tiancheng looked at it intently, and found that he didn't have any impression of the middle-aged man who greeted him.
Just as he was trying to remember, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Last time in Murong Mansion, if it weren't for the great power of my predecessors, I would have almost died in the hands of that demon. ”
Hearing him say this, Yin Tiancheng remembered that this person was the head of a small immortal cultivation sect in Cangzhou, surnamed Huang Mingyu.
Due to Huang Yu's low cultivation, in the ring match at that time, he was kicked by his opponent in the first round, and then he had no chance to perform, so for a while, Yin Tiancheng couldn't remember who he was.
He hurriedly returned the salute to the other party, and after a pleasant greeting, Huang Yu learned the purpose of Yin Tiancheng's trip, so he warmly invited him to take the carving to Tianxin Pavilion together.
Yin Tiancheng declined his kindness, saying that although the golden eagle was big, it could not be ridden by three people.
When Lu Wu heard this, he laughed and said, "Uncle Taishi, didn't you tell me to do something in the city, you go to Tianxin Pavilion with Master Huang first, and I will come later." ”
After saying that, he didn't care whether Yin Tiancheng agreed or not, and ran away without a trace.
Yin Tiancheng knew that he was lying and had no choice but to ride on the back of the eagle with Huang Yu and go to Tianxin Pavilion.
The golden eagle spread its wings and flew high, and in the blink of an eye, it came under the clouds, Yin Tiancheng looked down, and immediately saw some famous halls, so he asked Huang Yu: "It's strange, why is this Pingyang City extremely prosperous in the place I went to just now, but other places are not lively at all?"
"It's the first time I've come to Pingyang City, right?" Huang Yu said with a smile: "Pingyang City is a special city, and it is completely divided into regions according to the pattern of cultivating immortals. ”
Yin Tiancheng heard what he said, and hurriedly asked the reason for this, Huang Yu told him eloquently, and Yin Tiancheng knew what was going on.
Originally, Binh Duong City was surrounded by mountains on both sides, so only the two northwest directions were built with tall walls to defend against foreign enemies.
The place where Yin Tiancheng passed before was the most prosperous residential area in Pingyang City, where most of the people and dignitaries in the city lived.
And the smallest area in the west is the Tianxin Pavilion where Yin Tiancheng is going, and ordinary idlers can't enter there, so it looks deserted, and there are not many shops and restaurants on the street.
As for the two areas in the southeast and southeast with the majestic mountains at their backs, there are not many people in them, because they are the places of trial for immortal cultivators, and people call these two areas the merit area and the hell area.
Yin Tiancheng was immediately curious about the names of these two areas, so he asked Huang Yu about their origins.
It turns out that these two areas are in the middle of the high mountains, and there are many monsters living in them, and the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion often go into the mountains to hunt monsters as prey, so as to improve their cultivation.
Since the monsters on the East Mountain are not highly cultivated, they do not pose much threat to the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion, and hunting them is like making a merit for the people, so it is called the merit area.
But Nanshan is different, the mountains here are high and dense, the terrain is complex, there are many monsters with advanced cultivation hidden in it, and the disciples who enter the mountain to practice will lose their lives from time to time, so ordinary people dare not go there to challenge, so everyone will use the word hell to describe this area.
After Yin Tiancheng heard this, he immediately had a question in his heart, so he asked: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Lord Liu to do this, the place where the monsters live is too close to the residential area, so aren't the people often harassed by them, and even killed people?"
Huang Yu said with a smile: "Seniors don't need to worry about this, the monsters are honestly hiding in the mountains and will never go down the mountain." ”
"Could it be that these monsters are naturally kind and have no intention of harming others?"
When Huang Yu told Yin Tiancheng the reason, he was taken aback and was impressed by Tianxin Pavilion's demon subduing methods.
These monsters were all captured by the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion from various places in Cangzhou, and then according to the level of cultivation, they were purposefully released by Liu Rulong into the two mountains.
And before they were released, these monsters were forcibly fed by the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion with a human face Peach Blossom Pill.
The name of this elixir sounds good, but it is a Gu poison that can kill people.
Moreover, its toxicity has a similar effect to the fake elixir that Yin Tiancheng saw in Murong Mansion before.
After swallowing the human-faced peach blossom pill, the Gu worms inside will lie dormant in the dantian and fall asleep, and only when the spring is melted and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, it will wake up and harm the host.
This kind of Gu does not feed on flesh and blood, but on the vitality in the cultivator's body, if the Gu person can't take the special antidote made by Tianxin Pavilion in time, or in seven days, the Gu worm will suck up the host's vitality, and then break out of the body, so that the host will die in Huangquan.
After hearing these words, Yin Tiancheng's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he said secretly: "What a vicious method! No wonder these monsters are obedient and obedient, and they dare not run away or go down the mountain to harass the people, it turns out that this is the reason." ”
At this time, the golden eagle no longer moved forward, but circled around a palatial complex below, gradually descending.
Yin Tiancheng immediately heard the roars of many birds of prey and beasts, looked down, and found that there were many mounts in the courtyard that he had never seen before, and the figures of immortal cultivators also appeared and walked through them from time to time.
"Senior, we have arrived at Tianxin Pavilion. Huang Yu commanded his eagle to fall outside the door of the cultivation hall.
As soon as Yin Tiancheng's feet landed on the ground, he saw several disciples of Tianxin Pavilion step forward and asked, "Who are you who dare to enter my Tianxin Pavilion without notification?"
Yin Tiancheng was about to report to his home, when he saw a middle-aged woman walking by in a hurry, he immediately laughed, waved at the woman and said, "Master Liu, don't come unharmed?"
It turned out that this person was Liu Yuqi who went to Feiyumen to question Yin Tiancheng last time on the order of Liu Rulong, in fact, when Yin Tiancheng rode on the back of the eagle, she recognized who was coming.
But when everyone was fighting to the death with the mirage, this Liu Hall Master actually spread rumors and threatened Xuanyang and others, and was slapped ten times in a row by Yin Tiancheng, so she always hated Yin Tiancheng.
Seeing that Yin Tiancheng had come to Tianxin Pavilion now, Liu Yuqi naturally wanted to pretend that he didn't see the other party and avoided it.
But Yin Tiancheng took the initiative to greet her as if nothing had happened, and Liu Yuqi had to come forward to greet her in embarrassment.
