Chapter 107: Old Friends on the Top
Kunlun Mountain
Zhao Xuan and Li Zhichang had a discussion, and did not stop for long, all the way to the east, but they did not go straight to Middle Earth, and before leaving the desert, they turned around and entered Kunlun Mountain. ďż ďżĄ
Mount Kunlun is the first sacred mountain in China, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers and an average altitude of 5,500-6,000 meters.
Of course, Zhao Xuan didn't come here to find the Queen Mother of the West, he just wanted to climb to the top of the Ming Sect.
This matter is easy to say, but the top of the light is the main altar of Mingjiao, how can it be so easy to climb?
What's more, they don't know where the light top is.
Fortunately, although it is sparsely populated, it is not uninhabited. The two searched all the way, probed all the way, and finally found the Five Elements Banner after two months, and tracked them all the way to Guangming Peak.
From the head of the Ming Sect downwards, there are the left and right envoys of light, the four great guardian kings, the five scattered people, and finally the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Zhao Xuan and Li Zhichang followed a member of Ruijinqi, and after coming to the Guangming Peak, they left each other behind and went straight to the main altar of the Ming Sect.
I saw a building with flying eaves and anti-universe, high halls and mansions, full of disciples of the Five Elements Banner, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the guard was very strict.
Li Zhichang and Zhao Xuan hid in a big tree, looking at a team of patrols passing by every two minutes, and couldn't help but be curious: "Is it possible that this Ming Sect wants to rebel?
It turned out that the sect members patrolling here were each equipped with a set of bows and arrows, a javelin, and a flying axe, which really did not look like a Jianghu sect.
Zhao Xuan frowned slightly, but slowly shook his head.
Although this Mingjiao is famous for rebellion, it is for later generations. In the era of eagle shooting, I didn't hear them come out and jump at all. And the situation in front of him made him intuitively think that it had something to do with it.
After pondering for a moment, he said softly: "It has nothing to do with us whether the Ming Sect rebels or not, don't forget the purpose of our coming...... Let's go, go in and have a look!" After speaking, taking advantage of the gap between the two teams of patrols, he jumped from the tree and got into a rockery.
Li Zhichang followed closely and followed.
At this time, Zhao Xuan had already passed Ling Bo Weibu to Li Zhichang, and the light skills of both of them were superb. Although it is heavily guarded, patrols are densely packed. But just give two seconds to the two of them, and it's enough to change the terrain of hiding. I saw the two of them flicker, like ghosts, approaching a large hall in the center.
As the evening approached, the afterglow of the setting sun was gone, and countless cooking smoke rose from the complex. It was dark outside, and candles lit up in the room. Especially the main hall in the center, the candlelight and the shadow of the fire illuminated the entire hall.
In the hall, the leader of the Ming Sect, Zhong Wuqiu, sat in the first place, and the left and right envoys of Guangming sat on both sides of the hall. The Ruijin Banner disciple who "led" Zhao Xuan and the two people in was half-kneeling in the hall, his face was grim, and he reported: "Sect Master, the subordinates have found out, and the three Dharma Kings will bring a large army to attack in a few days!"
The Right Envoy of Light looked no more than thirty or forty years old, but he was gentle and elegant, and he seemed much more stable than a strong man, and got up and said, "Brother Fan, don't be in a hurry, since it has happened, it's useless to be angry." For today's plan, it is also necessary to discuss how to deal with it. â
Fan Zuo's envoy was born with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, leopard head and eyes, and his eyes widened in anger, and he said angrily: "What countermeasures are you still discussing? Let me kill them! These three traitors must not die well!"
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" At this moment, a series of coughs came out of the mouth of Zhong Wuqiu, the leader of the Ming Sect, who was sitting in the first place.
I saw that his face was pale, his cheeks were deep, and his eyelids were black, which was clearly poisoned and suffered extremely serious internal injuries. Sitting on the seat, his whole body was weak, and his voice was extremely weak: "Brother Fan Xian, what Brother Han Xian said is reasonable, don't be reckless." â
"Sect Master!" Although Fan Zuo was reckless, he was extremely convinced of Zhong Wuqiu, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Those three dogs were greedy for wealth and wealth, poisoned the sect leader, and injured the sect leader. We're going to talk about how to kill them now!"
Zhong Wuqiu shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that Fan Zuo Envoy was a bad person, and it was okay to fight, but he couldn't point to him when he gave advice, he turned his head to look at Han Youenvoy and said, "Brother Han Xian, you are resourceful, can you solve the danger of my Ming Sect now?"
Han You's envoy was dressed in a white shirt and cranked a folding fan, originally a character who pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan, but at this time, he also showed a helpless look and said, "Sect Master, it's not that your subordinates are unwilling to pay attention. The three Dharma Kings were already extremely martial arts, and after the teaching, they took away some of their disciples. Now the people in the church are panicking, and there are less than one in ten credible people. The Wusan people were sent by you to investigate the theft of the Holy Flame Order, and the White Sword King was killed in the line of duty to protect the sect master. Counting the disciples of the Five Elements Banner in our sect now, there are less than a thousand people, and there are less than five masters. Although the three Dharma kings were wounded by the sect leader and the white king, they took refuge in Mongolia. If they come with a great army, we will have to take refuge for a while. â
"Nonsense! Are we still afraid of him?" Although Fan Zuo knew that Han You's envoy was talking about something, he still didn't want to admit it, and yelled.
Zhong Wuqiu sighed and said, "What about Qing Ming? It's really not good, you can take Qing Ming to avoid it first, and then try to restore the religion when you find the Holy Fire Order." â
"Sect Master!" Fan Zuo's envoy and Han You's envoy both changed their faces. "Qingming" is Zhong Wuqiu's son, since Zhong Wuqiu said such a thing, he doesn't have to think about it, he already has the heart to be martyred.
I saw Fan Zuo's face was solemn, his hands and ten fingers were opened, and he held them in front of his chest, making a flame flying, and recited: "Burn my body, the flame is blazing." What is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death? For the sake of good and evil, only light is the cause. Joy and sorrow are dust. Have mercy on the world, and there will be many sorrows! Have mercy on the world, and there will be many sorrows!"
"Sect Master, let's stay with you!" said Han Right Envoy and Fan Zuo Envoy together.
At this time, it was completely dark, and Zhao Xuan and Li Zhichang were lying on the roof, and they generally understood what was going on.
The two glanced at each other, Zhao Xuan floated down directly from the roof, pushed the door and walked into the hall, hugged his fists and said: "Poor Dao Taixuan, come uninvited, and hope that Sect Master Zhong and Fan and Han will not blame." Li Zhichang followed and walked in.
Fan Zuo's envoy and Han You's envoy's body moved, and they were already blocking Zhong Wuqiu's body with one left and one right. Fan Zuo shouted: "Who are you?" Han Right Envoy said: "I don't know what the two Dao Masters are doing here?"
The Ruijin Banner disciple who was half-kneeling in the hall also stood up and assumed a defensive posture.
Zhao Xuan opened his hands, signaled that he had no malicious intentions, and said, "You don't have to be nervous, Poor Dao came here just because I met a woman a month ago who carried the Holy Fire Order of your sect. Therefore, I came to report it. â
"The Taoist has a heart. Zhong Wuqiu stood up, took two steps forward, hugged his fists and said: "Because of the change in the sect, I didn't know that the elder was coming before, and I didn't greet him well, and I hope that the Taoist chief will not blame!" Although he pretended to be extremely casual, his lack of breath and his slightly shaking body had already revealed his weakness.
Fan Zuo and Han Zuo quietly stretched out their hands and held Zhong Wuqiu from behind.
Zhao Xuan didn't seem to notice it, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Zhong is polite, Poor Dao came rashly, I just hope that Sect Master will not blame it." â
"How dare you, how dare you! The Taoist chief is loyal and courageous, chivalrous, you and I have never met in our lives, and the Taoist can 'send news thousands of miles', this kindness will definitely be remembered by the Mingjiao. Zhong Wanqiu said it well, but there was something in it.
What is "loyal to the liver and courage, and 'sending news thousands of miles' before they have never met", to put it bluntly, he doubts the purpose of Zhao Xuan's coming. And "this 'kindness' is remembered in the heart" refers not only to "kindness". If Zhao Xuan came to cause trouble this time, then they would definitely "remember it".
Here, Zhao Xuan could naturally hear this meaning, smiled slightly, and said: "Sect Master Zhong is strict, what kind of grace and hatred, poor Dao is a monk, and he does not participate in these." This time I came, but it was also a stop, and I should not be praised by Sect Master Zhong. â
Zhong Wuqiu nodded, as if he believed what he said, and turned to the disciple in the hall and said, "Dao Chang is a guest, and if you don't order you to go down, prepare a wine and food room for Dao Chang." â
The disciple was ordered to retreat, and Zhong Wuqiu invited Zhao Xuan and the two to take a seat, and then he faced Li Zhichang and asked, "I don't know the name of this Dao Chief?"
Li Zhichang hugged his fists and said: "Quanzhen taught Li Zhichang, and I have seen Senior Zhong, Senior Fan, and Senior Han. â
"Brother Zhichang?" Before Zhong Wuqiu and the others could speak, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the door.
I saw a young man in his twenties walk in from outside the door, took Li Zhichang's hand and said excitedly: "Why did Brother Zhichang come to Guangming Ding and not tell me?"
Li Zhichang was stunned and said, "Brother Zhong Ming?"
"Qingming, Zhong Qingming. The young man said with a little surprise: "I didn't use my real name when I roamed the rivers and lakes before, and I hope that Brother Zhichang will not be blamed." â
"No blame, no blame. Li Zhichang grinned.
"Do you know?" Zhao Xuan looked at Li Zhichang strangely. At the same time, Zhong Wuqiu and the others' eyes were also locked on Zhong Qingming, and their faces were very puzzled.
Li Zhichang and Zhong Qingming glanced at each other, and you explained to you every word.
It turned out that after Zhao Xuan "drove" Li Zhichang down the mountain, Zhong Qingming also entered the rivers and lakes at the same time.
Mingjiao is not well-known in the Central Plains, but it has some fame in the Western Regions. Zhong Qingming was unwilling to fight his father's power in the Western Regions, so he went far to the Central Plains, and only then did he meet Li Zhichang by chance.
Both of them are handsome for a while, they are of the same age, their martial arts are comparable, and their relationship is naturally good. Although I didn't cut the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper, I was also a good friend.
Later, the Mingjiao Holy Fire Order was lost, and Zhong Wuqiu recalled Zhong Qingming to Mingjiao. And Li Zhichang also went north to the capital of Jin Kingdom to find Zhao Xuan. And then it wasn't until today that the two good friends met again.
