Shangqingcheng is located in the south-central region of Mingguo, nestled between the vast mountains.

In terms of geographical location and strategic value, this city has not had a high status in Mingguo, and it has been in a state of stocking for a long time. If Jianyu City is Mingguo's own son, then Shangqingcheng is not even a child who has been picked up, at most he is a child daughter-in-law or something.

But Qiu Jin had already heard that Shangqingcheng was not a simple secular city, unlike Jianyu City, which only had the role of settlement and guarding. Shangqingcheng is the city of cultivators, in principle, it is not under the jurisdiction of the secular forces of the ancient land of China, and all the affairs in the city are dictated by the Qingcheng faction, and the royal family of Mingguo is difficult to interfere in the affairs of this city. From this point of view, the Old Man Villa only has the right to use Arrow Feather City, while the Qingcheng faction has the ownership of Upper Qingcheng. After all, cultivators can be said to have been free from the disturbances of the world, and what they have to abide by is the rules defined by cultivation.

The reason why Shangqingcheng is famous in the secular world is that this is where the power of the base camp of the Shangshang sect is located - the Qingcheng faction.

The Qingcheng faction is a very young sect, and the patriarch of the sect, Qingcheng Kendo, is still alive. Twelve years ago, when Qingcheng Kendo broke through the realm of Vientiane, it became famous for its undefeated record against the strong in the early stage of Concentrating God with the strength of the early stage of Vientiane. After having the qualifications to create the upper sect, Qingcheng Kendo returned to his hometown Qingcheng Mountain, and after sweeping away the original many small schools that could not be put on the table, he opened the mountain with a sword and divided the land into a city, creating the Qingcheng faction with many disciples today.

Qingcheng swordsmanship, which is superb, and the Qingcheng swordsmanship that opens mountains and moves seas has always been loved and sought after by sword cultivators in the cultivation world. After Qingcheng Kendo, known as the "first sword in Vientiane", opened the sect, there are countless monks who come and go to Qingcheng to study every year.

And Qingcheng Kendo is also a cultivator who loves talents very much, every time he realizes the Tao, he will open up his grace, and discuss the Tao in Shangqingcheng for two hours, whether it is a disciple of the Qingcheng faction or not, he is qualified to listen to the Taoist perception of the strong man in the Vientiane period.

......

The white clouds slowly drifted among the mountains, and Qiu Jin, who had just walked from the Ghost Gate Pass, was stunned by the majestic city in front of him when he was brought into Shangqing City by two congenital monks.

There is a city in front of it, no, a super city of the Xiuzhen forces. The scale of this city, in time to Qiu Jin's high achievements in the Dajin country, won the title of Yunnan king, has seen many rare scenes in the secular world, and even the mythological scenes in his mind are not shocked.

Go to Qingcheng!

This is really a "green city on the mountain". At a glance, with Qiu Jin's innate eyesight. I can't even see where the city wall extends, it's too majestic, this city wall is really too majestic.

The city wall, as if it had been poured with steel, emitted a cold aura like a sword edge, and the inside of the city wall seemed to have some kind of formation blessing, faintly emitting the vitality of heaven and earth. These are not the keys to Qiu Jin's shock, the key is the height of this city wall, one hundred and twenty meters, definitely as high as forty or fifty stories of pagodas, like a heaven and earth barrier, spanning between the valleys, blocking everything from the outside world.

Is this the city built by the cultivators? It is so majestic and magnificent, so magnificent, it is really on the green hills, among the white clouds.

A city of cultivators, just a city is as shocking as this, then if a country composed entirely of cultivators should be invincible in the world, such as the ancient country of Xia Shang and the third supergiant in the ancient land of China.

"Qingcheng faction"

Above the south gate of the city hang these three strong and powerful golden characters.

Seeing it, it was like a sword coming to the face.

Under the steel walls, there were monks coming from all directions, but as long as they entered the city, no one flew in, but all the qi gangs or horses entered through the city gates.

At the city gate, two gates made of golden silk nanmu are open, each gate is nearly 100 meters wide and 30 meters high. At the door, a large number of guards in armor or monks with swords on their backs stood to check on those entering the city. And most of the people who entered the city were very cooperative. Only a few, perhaps monks with a high realm, or perhaps an internal elder of the Qingcheng faction, did not accept any inspection and stepped directly into the city from outside the city.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you call it?" The two congenital stage monks, because they saw the sword qi like an immortal emanating from Qiu Jin's body, politely led Qiu Jin into the city.

"Dajin Kingdom, Qiu Jin. Qiu Jin held the old horse and said.

"It turned out to be the king of Yunnan in the Jin Kingdom, and Xiao Ke accidentally passed by your country during a sect mission. The tall man glanced at the white-faced monk beside him with a little deep meaning, and said to Qiu Jin.

"It's all mundane, and it's not enough to worry about. Unlike Brother Dao, who worshiped under the Vientiane Gate, he will be a long journey from now on, and his future is immeasurable. ”

Although it was a trace of the old man with a lonely arrow who saved his life, Qiu Jin was still very grateful to the Qingcheng Sect monk for saving him when he was in danger.

"Brother Qiu can use his innate strength to escape from the hands of the lion demon in the foundation building period by his own ability. The ancestor is a person who loves talents, maybe Brother Qiu will be taken by the ancestor at a glance, and then we need to call Brother Qiu Uncle to be reasonable. The white-faced Innate Realm monk hurriedly said politely.

"Thank you Brother Dao Jiyan, how can Qiu Mou, the ancestors of the sword once opened this mountain with a sword, how could they care about the innate realm of my worldly realm. ”

"Brother Qiu is modest, the lame uncle just instructed us to bring Brother Qiu to the duty hall, please move here Brother Qiu. "The two congenital stage monks got the news from the uncle on duty in the Jindan period, and quickly brought people into the duty hall, and added a sentence at the end, don't be lazy. The two monks who were only the lowest level of the Qingcheng faction naturally didn't dare to show their identities in front of Qiu Jin again, so they just said a few polite words and brought Qiu Jin to the front of the guard hall.

.......

Qiu Jin followed the two congenital monks to the guard hall in Shangqing City.

At a glance, I found that there were a large number of formation maps surrounding the guard hall outside the hall, and there were flat land, mountains, lakes, and oceans in the formation maps. And the light curtain wrapped in the formation diagram looks very fantastic, the light curtain is divided into two colors, one blue and one red. It was daytime, and the light curtain was also very dazzling, and its luminosity pointed directly at the large protective array above the city.

But the area occupied by the guard hall is not large, the plaque above the temple door is written with the word "Shoudao", the objects in the hall are extremely simple, only a wooden sword and an incense burner.

"What Daoist friends have just seen is the sect's Guardian Formation, and the sky above it is connected to the "Heavenly Thunder Sword Shrine Great Array" arranged by Master Longshi. If someone dares to break into the city without authorization, they will enjoy the treatment of thunder and ten thousand swords. ”

At this time, the monk on duty in the Jindan period was sitting in the hall, waiting for Qiu Jin's arrival.

Qiu Jin didn't have the slightest doubt about this Jindan period's statement, but the high school was cloudy and sunny, and there was no trace of weather fluctuations.

Qiu Jin didn't dare to think about it, and walked quickly, the light curtain around the guard hall did not have any intention of obstruction, it seemed to be some simple blue and red light.

When Qiu Jin just stepped into the hall, a stream of quiet incense suddenly burst into his nose, and his body, which was originally overdrawn by the vitality of heaven and earth, was extremely tired, and his tense heart immediately quieted down.

"Junior Qiu Jin, thank you for saving your life. After Qiu Jin entered the hall, he looked deeply at the people sitting in the center of the hall.

"Besides, my sword did not have an effect, but instead angered the lion demon, not to mention any life-saving grace. The people in the hall who had been sitting cross-legged got up and said.

"The predecessor can seriously injure the demon beast with a sword that crosses several miles, this kind of sword power, should he be the Nanfeng Dao Leader under the sect of the sword dao ancestor?" Qiu Jin asked.

"This way has been retired for many years, but I didn't expect you to know the name of this way. Daoyou just came here from the old man's villa, and there is a lonely arrow predecessor Yuan Shen body, presumably it is the lonely arrow predecessor's year-old friend Qiu Jin Daoyou. When it comes to seniority, Xiaodao should call you Uncle Qiu Jin. ”

"Senior lifts up the boy. Qiu Jin's eyebrows flashed with a hint of expectation: "The predecessors of the South Wind once used the early stage of the Jindan period to cultivate and force back the Thunder Hall Master at the peak of the Jindan. ”

"It's not that it's a leg to pay for it. Qing Nanfeng, whose right leg was slightly lame, continued: "Master said that there will be nobles coming to this sect in the next few days, and I hope that Daoist friends will wait for a while, and Master will come immediately." ”

After speaking, Qing Nanfeng, who had forced back the peak strength demon beast of Jindan with the initial strength of Jindan, sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Qiu Jin also learned the Qingnanfeng sitting method, and after exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, he sat down cross-legged. Then operate the 365 acupuncture points of the body, absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, and nourish the overused vitality in the body. Qiu Jin could feel the extraordinaryness of the palace on duty, and the word "Shoudao" was written on the plaque at the door, which was enough to make Qiu Jin realize a lot, not to mention the calming effect of the quiet incense in the hall.
