Chapter 12 First Arrival in Ziyang
"...... this?"
"This is the token of my Nangong family, I'm sorry for today's incident, I heard my subordinates say that Shaoxia is going to apprentice, so if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can take this token to the southeast palace house in the city, they will help you solve it"
"No...... This...... It's too precious!" "Although I don't know what kind of family the Nangong family is, I also have some responsibilities when I talk about today's events, and now I am lucky to be able to get out safely, how can I take other people's things."
"Hehe, it's okay, you just take it! There are still some things in our army, so I won't delay" turned around and arched his hand to the tall man, "Brother Huang! I'll go back first! We'll drink together another day!" After speaking, Qi Yue refused and directly led his men back to the barracks.
Looking at the inexplicable extra token in his hand, Qi Yue didn't know what to say, and when he remembered that he wanted to thank the man just now, he found that the other party had long since disappeared.
The first thing I did after entering the city was to buy a few clothes that fit, and sure enough, people relied on clothes, Buddha relied on gold, and after changing into clean clothes, no one looked at them with strange eyes when they walked out on the street.
casually found an inn on the street, asked Xiao Er to boil a bucket of hot water, and soaked his whole body in the water, "Ah~ It's so comfortable"
At this moment, Qi Yue emptied his brain, didn't think about anything, and enjoyed this rare time.
When I woke up, everyone was already cold, got up and put on my clothes, stretched my waist and "gurgled" my stomach and began to protest.
"Go eat something, by the way, find out some news" has been walking in the rivers and lakes for half a year, and now he knows very well that the inn is the best place to inquire about the news.
A few plates of side dishes, a pot of turbid wine, sat in the most remote corner of the hall, quietly listened to the drunken nonsense of the diners, and carefully discerned the valuable information in it.
Suddenly, a bearded guest in the southwest corner of the lobby slapped the table and said, "Bang!"
"Listen to me! I, Hu Qing, will definitely be able to worship the Purple Sun Sword Sect this year! When the time comes, a big banquet will be held here, everyone will come! All come!" Pointing at everyone present, his face was red, his ears were red, he was drunk, and he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine.
No, as soon as he finished speaking, someone in the audience dismantled the stage and said: "Come on, you said the same thing last year, but what is the result? Let people get out at the first level, you don't want to be embarrassed anymore!"
"What are you talking about! Say it again!!" The man named Hu Qing had already drunk some wine, and when he heard that someone had actually exposed his old background, he was so angry that his hair was open, his red bull's eyes widened, and he stared at the other party.
"Hmph, who doesn't know that you have stopped at the first level for three years in a row, and once you pass this year, there is no hope. I don't think you should dream, let's go back to your Yongzhou obediently!" Qi Yue followed the voice and looked over, it turned out that a young man in brocade clothes was constantly squeezing the man not far away.
"You're looking for death!!" The other party not only did not stop, but intensified, how could the man named Hu Qing endure it any longer, kicked away the bench in front of him, and wanted to rush over to teach the other party a lesson.
Fortunately, his friend next to him stopped him in time, and he didn't know what to say, and his anger actually subsided.
Unwillingly, he glared at the other party fiercely, and said, "Let's go!" and turned around and left.
I thought there would be a lively scene to watch, but no one expected such an ending.
Everyone began to speculate about the identity of this brocade-clothed boy, who was able to make that group of people go away.
"Hmph! Count him as acquaintances! If he annoys this son, he will definitely not be able to get out of this Hengzhou City!" pointed to the direction of the door, and his tone was very arrogant.
"That's natural! If it weren't for the young master's generosity, just a few of them, you don't want to do it, and the small ones can make them remember for a long time!" The attendant next to him patted his ass with a flattering face.
The person who was called the young master was obviously very useful, and the folding fan in his hand was spread out and shook slightly, with a completely natural expression.
"Uh...... That, young master, it's not too early, don't forget that there are distinguished guests in the clan today, the head of the family let us go back early to prepare," the attendant leaned over and reminded.
"Well, I almost forgot! Let's go!" After speaking, in addition to the inn, a group of followers behind him hurriedly followed.
Although it was only a small episode at this time, Qi Yue learned some more important information from their mouths, such as: The Ziyang Sword Sect seems to have an apprenticeship test every year, and it seems that there is more than one level, and the most important thing seems to have some restrictions, and not everyone can enter.
The dishes were almost finished, and seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the lobby, and there was no news, he casually threw down a silver ingot, turned around and went upstairs to his room, preparing to go to the Ziyang Sword Sect early tomorrow morning.
The next morning, after cleaning up, he took out a long sword from the space, changed into a decent aqua blue robe, and tied up the long hair that he didn't pay much attention to on weekdays, and the whole person looked much more energetic.
From Xiao Er, he learned that the Ziyang Sword Sect was on Liuyang Mountain, seventy miles east of Hengzhou City, and if the foot was fast enough, it would be possible to reach it in two hours.
Because he accidentally lost his horse on the way here, he can only go on foot.
Fortunately, in the past three months, he has trekked through mountains and rivers, day and night, and his light skill level has reached a higher level.
If Qi Yue didn't feel how powerful the Pulse Fusion Technique he cultivated before, during this time, he could be regarded as knowing the power of this exercise, taking Light Gong as an example, in the middle of the ordinary Hundred Veins Realm, he would exhaust his internal strength in a quarter of an hour at most, and he had to stop meditating and resting.
And he tested it some time ago, without any reservations, he actually jumped in the mountains and forests for nearly an hour, and even in the end, Qi Yue's physical strength couldn't keep up, and his internal strength was already about 20%.
Since that time, Qi Yue has rarely saved his internal strength, because he has found that with the improvement of his internal strength over time, his internal strength is not only far beyond ordinary people, but even the recovery speed is amazingly fast, even if he does not meditate and pranayama, his internal strength will continue to recover in about three hours.
The distance of seventy miles is not very far, and Hengzhou City is located in a relatively open plain area, and there are only mountains in this direction within a radius of 100 miles.
Two hours of travel, it took only one-third of the time to be Qi Yue's full exertion of light skills, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the top of the mountain was covered by a layer of clouds and mist all year round, and it was impossible to see what the scene was above.
And looking down, not far in front of him is the mountain gate of the Ziyang Sword Sect, the stone steps paved with white marble, leading to the top of the mountain from a distance, just as a ladder to the sky.
In a distance, Qi Yue found a more spectacular scene, just stood in the distance and did not notice, now close to the sudden discovery, on the rock wall on the right side of the mountain gate was actually carved on it with something unknown to engrave the huge word "Ziyang", this word is vigorous and powerful, iron painting silver hook, just a glance from a distance, he felt that there was a sword intention that could overwhelm the heaven and earth surging towards him.
Qi Yue, who was already in the middle of the Hundred Veins Realm, was actually frightened back three or four steps by this sword intent, and he no longer dared to look directly at those two words.
"Look! Another hairy boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, I don't know how many people have been frightened away by these two words," the man on the right of the two disciples guarding the gate at the mountain gate whispered to his companion beside him.
Glared at him, "Senior brother, silence! You forgot what the master confessed, these days the heroes of the rivers and lakes have gathered, we are here to guard, we must not offend fellow martial artists for no reason, lest we go back and be punished!" The tone was extremely serious.
Hearing him say this, the disciple seemed to remember something, and immediately turned pale and returned to his position.
I didn't expect that I had just lost face when I arrived at the gate of the mountain, so I hurriedly walked forward as if nothing had happened, and came to the two disciples guarding the mountain, and gave a salute respectfully, after all, these two people may be their senior brothers in the future, so there should still be a number of courtesies.
The two of them had already seen Qi Yue just now, and when they saw him coming over, they were so modest and saluting, they didn't dare to be arrogant at the moment, and they both bowed their hands to return the salute, and then got up and asked, "This young man, dare to ask me what happened to my Purple Sun Sword Sect?"
"Hello two senior brothers, I'm here to apprentice!" is not familiar with the two of them at present, so he directly omitted the extra politeness and went straight to the point.
"Apprentice?" The two glanced at each other, and the older disciple smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm afraid this young man is mistaken, my Purple Sun Sword Sect's apprenticeship test is generally in Layue, and it is not in the sect, in previous years, it was held in Hengzhou City, so please go back and wait!"
Seeing what the other party said, Qi Yue knew that the two should have misunderstood, and quickly explained: "The two senior brothers misunderstood, it was the family teacher who ordered me to bring a token to worship the elder of your sect, Qing Yingzi, as a teacher!"
"Who?!" Qi Yue shocked the two of them with a single mouth, and even the disciple who looked calm looked at Qi Yue with wide eyes.
"Elder of the Ziyang Sword Sect, senior of the Qing Ming Sect!" Thinking that the two of them didn't hear clearly, Qi Yue deliberately accentuated his name and said.
"Senior brother, I think this person is here to make trouble, let's blow him away!" The young disciple was already a little despised Qi Yue, and he was even more angry at this time, and he was about to wave his hand to drive Qi Yue away.
"Senior brother, slow down!" stopped his reckless behavior, and said with a wry smile: "This young man, you better go down the mountain earlier, Elder Qing Yingzi never accepts apprentices!"
Because he had learned from others how high Qing Yingzi's identity was, in the face of the disbelief of the two, Qi Yue had already made some preparations, and explained unhurriedly at the moment: "The two senior brothers misunderstood, I didn't come to make trouble, I said before that the family teacher and Qing Yingzi's predecessors are old friends, and I also came with a token this time, dare to ask the two senior brothers to help inform me" As he spoke, he took out the jade recipe prepared in advance from his arms and handed it over.
