After Lu You saw off the second senior brother and Peng Nianzhi, he also left Wucheng not long after. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Outside Wucheng, Lu You immediately opened the map, found the location of Huating Mountain, and looked for a way.
Lu You pondered: "Huating Mountain is now where the mountain gate of the Southern Underworld Sect is located, and this Southern Underworld Sect is a first-class faction in the rivers and lakes, and it is not attached to the three major forces, and the relationship with the Qinglan Sect is average, but it has a somewhat inexplicable relationship with the Heavenly Demon Sect, and even if I can enter the mountain gate, it is basically impossible to go to the forbidden land of the back mountain." ā
This Huating Mountain was told to Lu You by Peng Tianyu before he died, the place where the Tianheng sect was located a long time ago, and then the power of the Tianheng faction declined, and it was impossible to keep the foundation of the sect at all, so it had to be handed over.
Lu You got the information about the Southern Underworld Sect in the Wucheng rudder, and it was impossible for Lu You to get this level of information, but Lu You asked the second senior brother and Liu Dabiao to come out, and this kind of thing was naturally not a problem.
Riding on horseback, along the way, Lu You heard some news from several other trialists, it is said that Duan Qiu slaughtered three rudders of the Xuan Demon Dao in a row during this time, and even killed two Xuan Demon Dao elders, and his reputation was very bad; Zhou Weiqing also had a good record, breaking through two important underground rudders of the Xuan Demon Dao, and rescuing more than 30 fellow Taoists in the rivers and lakes, which was praised by everyone, and several other people also had their own gains.
The most surprising thing for Lu You was that someone had already died in the nine-person trial, and Zheng Gaoming of the Unsheathed Peak was caught by Huang Tongda among the Ten Demons of the Xuan Demon Dao in Jiangcheng, trained alive for three days, and turned into a hideous corpse puppet.
Lu You was very angry when he heard the news, and said secretly: "This Huang Tongda is the father of the Elder Huang that the master killed in Handcheng, he must have a grudge against me and the master, so he spread the anger in his heart on others, if he has the strength one day, he will definitely get rid of this scourge of the rivers and lakes." ā
......
After a few days, Lu You finally came to Huating Mountain.
Huating Mountain is located in the Central Plains slightly southeast, there are mountains without peaks in the surrounding places, it is the highest place within a radius of 500 miles, climb to the top and look at it, there is a sense of seeing the world at a glance. There are many wonders in the mountain, there is a waterfall in the east that falls down from above, just like a white Lian draped on the mountain, people call it the white ribbon waterfall, the west is a cliff, one of the world's strange dangers.
Lu You stood on the horse and looked, the mountain has its own atmosphere, and you can see the aura of the clear spirit.
The Southern Underworld Sect is in Huating Mountain, and there are two main roads up the mountain, usually only one main road is open to outsiders, and the other is for the use of people in the sect.
Lu You rode a horse and went on the main road, but he had to dismount after walking for a long time, and the mountain road was difficult for horses.
After a while, I came to a huge bluestone archway, and saw that there were eight disciples guarding, and not far from the archway erected a white and flawless stone tablet, which was engraved with three big characters, the tablet of liberation.
Lu You knew as soon as he looked at the name of the tablet, there would be such a place at the entrance of many sects, and ordinary visitors were not allowed to bring a sword up the mountain, and it would be rude to be strong. There is also such a sword tablet in Qinglan Sect, which is much larger than here.
It's just that Lu You is a little puzzled that this kind of place usually only arranges four deacon disciples at most, but the Southern Underworld Sect actually arranges eight people, is it to give the people who go up the mountain a dismount?
When the eight dark blue Dao robed disciples saw Lu You, their faces were full of vigilance, and their right hands all touched the hilt of the sword.
One of the larger disciples at the head raised his right hand, signaling everyone not to act rashly, he should be the person in charge here.
"Who is coming, what is the matter of coming to the Southern Underworld Sect. The disciple took two steps forward and cautiously looked at Lu You.
Lu You was a little stunned, he didn't know what was going on, as soon as he came, these eight people looked at him murderously, but Lu You quickly came back to his senses.
Lu You hugged his fists and bowed, and said, "Are you friends of the Southern Underworld Sect? I am Lu You of the Dragon and Tiger Peak of the Qinglan Sect, and I have taken the liberty to visit this time to meet the head of your sect, and I have something to ask for." ā
When the disciple at the head heard that Lu You was a disciple of the Qinglan Sect, his brows furrowed.
You must know that the Qinglan Sect is far away from here, and it has not had much contact with the Southern Underworld Sect, and during this time, the Southern Underworld Sect has encountered many things, and it is very precautionary to the outside world, Lu You came at this time, I don't know what the plan is.
"The boss hasn't seen a guest recently, so you can go back. "This disciple doesn't care what Lu You's identity is, here the Southern Underworld Sect has the final say.
Lu You begged: "Can you be accommodating, I do have something important to ask for." ā
The disciple pulled out the long sword in his hand and threatened: "Don't make trouble here, tell you to leave, you should leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the long sword in my hand." ā
Lu You was also a little angry, a few little disciples were so domineering, they drove them away without asking anything, they were unreasonable at all, but they couldn't do anything to them, after all, they were here to ask them to do something.
Just when Lu You was a little hesitant, an old man in a black robe and white beard came down from the mountain, walking very fast, and saw Lu You raise his eyebrows.
The old man asked, "What's going on, didn't you say that you shouldn't let the idlers stay here any longer?"
The head disciple Bao Jian bowed down and said: "The head of Qi Yuyuan, this person just came, saying that it was Lu You of the Qinglan Sect, and he wanted to meet the head of the sect, I have already retreated from him, but he has not left yet." ā
This elder is one of the twelve foreign affairs elders of the Southern Underworld Sect, named Yuan Benhong, who was patrolling the mountains and forests just now to see if there were any suspicious people entering the mountains.
"Oh?! You are one of the winners of Qinglan Huiwu, Dragon and Tiger Peak, Lu You? It is rumored that you are quite chivalrous. Yuan Benhong was a little curious, he didn't expect Lu You to come to worship the mountain gate.
Lu You was a little puzzled when he heard this elder say this, and said secretly: "When did I have a chivalrous name, why don't I know." ā
However, when Lu You heard what he said, he had a little hope, and bowed down and said, "It's just that I came to Huating Mountain to meet the head of your sect." ā
Yuan Benhong looked at Lu You, "It's like this from afar, then Lu Shaoxia will follow me up the mountain, I will inform the master, and I don't guarantee whether the head will see you." ā
Lu You bowed down and bowed again, "More Elder Yuan." "And he went up.
The leader of the disciple said: "Since you are going up the mountain, Lu Gongzi also please hand over the matching sword." ā
Lu You glanced at Elder Yuan Benhong above.
"The rules of the sect, please also ask Lu Shaoxia to abide by them. Yuan Benhong said, "When Lu Shaoxia goes down the mountain, he must return the original thing." ā
Lu You nodded, so he had to hand the iron sword to the guarding disciples, and followed Yuan Benhong to Huating Mountain.
On the way, Yuan Benhong asked: "I don't know if Lu Shaoxia didn't go to the rivers and lakes for trials, but he ran to the South Underworld Sect, I don't know why, can you tell me about the old decay, I can also explain to the master." ā
Lu You rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I once heard that there is a strange stone wall in the mountain behind Huating, which absorbs the essence of the sun during the day and releases white rays at night, which is called the first strange stone in the world." I passed by here and came to pay my respects. ā
When Lu You mentioned the stone wall of the back mountain, Yuan Benhong's body was stunned and quickly returned to normal, but he was still noticed by Lu You and knew that there must be something strange in it.
