Chapter 424: Qingluan Palace Master
The lower part of Laojun Mountain was flooded by the lake, and the upper part of the exposed water surface was not too high, that is, more than 100 meters. But the more than 100-meter-long mountain is hidden in the lush forest. In the woods, the bluestone paved paths lead in all directions, and from time to time you can see several rustic brick houses, farmhouse courtyards, roosters and dogs barking, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
People outside only know that the mountain people of Laojun Mountain do not grow rice, but tea and medicinal herbs, and they are very rich.
Because it is not a tourist area, there can be no signposts on these bluestone paths. When ordinary people arrive here, they will be dizzy by the dense mountain trails like cobwebs, and they will not be able to reach the top of the mountain for a whole day.
Xiao Fan walked at the forefront quickly, and he didn't need to be reminded by Li Er, so he didn't miss a fork in the road.
Li Er and the others had seen the protective circle of the water stopping view, so they naturally didn't care about it. Compared with the protective array of the water stopping view, the "labyrinth" on this side of Laojun Mountain is not very powerful.
In the distance, a farmhouse courtyard with red and green tiles sits on a small piece of flat land in the mountains.
The bluestone path leads directly to this farmhouse, and it seems that this path was specially built for this farmhouse courtyard. At the gate of the small courtyard, a white-haired mother-in-law sat lazily on a rattan chair, with a bamboo cane in her hand and a handful of melon seeds in her hand.
At the feet of the old woman, a hen with a few chicks was foraging, chirping, so lively.
Not far away, under the faucet, two middle-aged women were washing clothes. There are talking and laughing, what an idyllic scene. The scenery of the mountain countryside is refreshing at first sight. Forget about it.
Xiao Fan hugged Xin Lin and strode over.
The old woman's cloudy eyes looked at her slowly, and as soon as they landed on Xin Lin's face, she was suddenly shining, sharp as a knife.
Li Er and the others stood far away, their hands hanging between their legs, their eyebrows lowered, and they didn't dare to take a breath. I didn't dare to look up at the old woman. It seems that this old woman is a mandrill ghost, as long as she looks at it, she will immediately be seduced and fall into hell forever.
"Xiao Zhenren?"
Seeing Xiao Fan approaching, the old woman stood up tremblingly with a bamboo cane, bent her waist, looked up at Xiao Fan, and asked slowly.
The only thing that is different from other country women is that. When the old woman opened her mouth, her teeth were neat and white. Of course, there's something special about that. She's talking about standard Kyoto films. Even Xiao Fan, an authentic capitalite, couldn't find the slightest fault.
Xiao Fan hugged Xin Lin and bowed deeply. Lang Sheng said: "Mother-in-law, don't dare to be. I am Xiao Fan. Ask to see the Qingluan Palace Master! ”
"Xiao Zhenren, the palace master has already calculated today's matter. I also know that I teach the saint to have today's calamity. Since Xiao Zhenren sent Jia'er here, you can be regarded as dutiful. Now hand over the saintess to us, and ask Xiao Zhenren to go down the mountain. ”
This old woman looked very kind and kind, but as soon as they met, she gave an eviction order, and she was not polite.
Xiao Fan shook his head categorically, and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive my mother-in-law, I must meet the Qingluan Palace Master and hand Jia'er into her hands in person." Otherwise, I will not be at ease! ”
The old woman's cloudy old eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she said coldly: "Xiao Zhenren, all men in the world are unlucky, and Xiao Zhenren must be no exception. There is no need to pretend to act here, otherwise, Jia'er would not have been seriously injured like this...... We'll reckon with this account slowly...... Xiao Zhenren, time is precious, don't delay any longer. ”
As he spoke, the bamboo cane in his hand hit the ground heavily.
With a "click", the seemingly solid bluestone slab suddenly fell apart.
This old woman's internal strength is extremely profound, and she is a hidden master. The two middle-aged women who were washing clothes over there also immediately put down their clothes, strode over, and stood behind the old woman. Originally, no matter how good they were, the two middle-aged village women, who were no more ordinary, stood like this, their waists were straight, and they immediately stopped at Yuezhi, and they were imposing.
"Granny Hua, I'...... I don't blame Xiao Fan for being injured...... Let him go to the Master......"
Seeing that Granny Hua and the others were aggressive, Xin Lin finally raised her head and explained softly.
"Please forgive me, the peak of the old monarch, no stranger man is allowed to take half a step, this is a rule passed down by the ancestors for many years, and it cannot be broken in the hands of the old woman. Please forgive me for not being able to obey orders! ”
Granny Hua bowed down when she heard this, but her words were hard and categorical, and there was no turning point.
Xin Lin's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she didn't know how to phrase it.
"Xiao Zhenren, the saint can't afford to delay, please hand it over immediately."
Granny Hua looked at Xin Lin, who was huddled in Xiao Fan's arms, her expression became more and more displeased, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied with such a close relationship between Jia'er and Xiao Fan. I don't know what the reason is, according to ancient legends, the female disciples of the Seven Miao Palace almost all have some inexplicable disgust towards men. Xin Lin is the saintess of Qimiao Palace, the first heir to the throne of the palace master, how respectful her identity is, she was actually hugged by a young man so in public, although it was because she was seriously injured, Granny Hua was still very unhappy.
The two middle-aged women also showed their blades one after another, staring at Xiao Fan with fierce eyes, just waiting for Granny Hua's order, they were going to strike together and snatch the Holy Maiden of the sect from Xiao Fan's hands.
Xiao Fan's eyes flashed, revealing a resolute look.
"Granny Hua, offended!"
"Hmph, don't you want to do it?"
The bamboo cane in Granny Hua's hand was beaten again, and she lifted it, and a compelling breath came to her face. There is no doubt that this ancient old woman is a rare top master, otherwise she would not have personally guarded the last level to the main altar of the Seven Wonderful Palace.
Suddenly, Xiao Fan raised his head, and a clear whistle came out of his mouth. As soon as Qingxiao exited, it was not very loud, and then it rose higher and higher, and in an instant, it was like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, shaking the mountains and valleys, and the entire Laojun Mountain was shrouded in this resounding howling sound in the sky.
Li Er and the others were caught off guard, first they couldn't resist it, and they hurriedly reached out to cover their ears. His face was full of pain.
After all, Granny Hua and the two middle-aged women were extraordinary, and their reactions were extremely quick. As soon as he realized that the situation was wrong, he immediately mentioned the qi of the dantian. Resist with luck.
Xiao Fan's whistle became louder and louder, and the two middle-aged women immediately couldn't support it, reached out to cover their ears, their bodies trembled, and the muscles on their faces twitched.
Granny Hua was holding a bamboo cane in one hand, and her white hair was blowing straight back as if it was being blown by a strong wind, but her body stood there steadily, standing still. After half a cup of tea, Granny Hua's body trembled, and her other hand also grabbed the bamboo cane.
The head of the bamboo cane, inch by inch from the center of the cracked bluestone slab, gradually penetrates deep into the solid loess.
Senior Sister Yuan, who was hurrying to the top of the mountain, was defenseless when she heard this whistle, and sat down on the ground and hurriedly covered her ears. Staring at the top of the mountain with wide eyes, his face full of horror. Obviously, Xiao Fan was really merciful to her subordinates just now. If she really fights the enemy, she is afraid that she will not be able to support Xiao Fan in the next round. This woman was originally very proud. For a while, I was a little disheartened.
"Click"!
Granny Hua's shiny bamboo cane, which has been used for many years, suddenly opened a crack. The muscles in his face twitched.
"Bold!"
At this moment, an angry cry rang out from the top of the mountain. The rolling sound suddenly poured out, and the whistling sound was immediately suppressed.
Granny Hua suddenly looked relieved. Stood firm again.
The middle-aged woman, Li Er and the others, who were already completely unable to support it, also stopped trembling and convulsing, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Xiao Fan, the sixty-fourth generation of Wuji Gate, begging to see the Qingluan Palace Master!"
Xiao Fan stopped his whistle and said slowly, his voice was clear, and it rumbled over everyone's heads and spread far away.
"Xiao Fan, you are so bold. Even if your master came over in person, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in Laojun Mountain. Do you think that you are invincible in the world? ”
A majestic woman's voice also came from the top of the mountain, full of anger.
Qimiao Palace has been established in Laojun Mountain for thousands of years, and there are really few people who dare to bully them like this. Xiao Fan wanted to subdue all the Qimiao Palace in one fell swoop with his own strength.
"Don't dare. The palace master is a senior, and Xiao Fan has no intention of offending. It's really that Jia'er's injuries are too serious, please forgive Xiao Fan for being rude. ”
"Hmph, Jia'er is my disciple, don't I care about her? At the top of Laojun, strange men are not allowed to enter, this is a rule that has been passed down from me for hundreds of years. If you are tough, you are obviously deceiving me and there is no one in the Qimiao Palace. Wujimen is domineering elsewhere, and I don't care about you. But if you want to show off your martial arts in Laojun Mountain, you are in the wrong place. ”
The Qingluan Palace Lord said angrily.
"Don't dare. Qimiao Palace is full of talents, and the seniors are even the masters in the sea, and even my master admires them very much. Please ask the seniors to treat Jia'er immediately, as long as Jia'er is safe, Xiao Fan is willing to ask the seniors for their guilt! ”
"Humph!"
The Qingluan Palace Master snorted coldly again and was silent for a long time.
"Please have mercy on the palace master!"
Li Er and the others reluctantly stood up, knelt down in unison, threw themselves to the ground, and pleaded in a trembling voice.
"Let him come up!"
The peak was silent for a moment, and the Qingluan Palace Lord said in a deep voice.
"Palace Master!"
Granny Hua was taken aback and exclaimed.
In any inheritance, there will be some stubborn people who stick to the ancient rules and are resolutely unwilling to change.
The summit was silent.
Granny Hua's face suddenly became extremely ugly, she snorted coldly, turned her head, and didn't even look at Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan bowed slightly, hugged Xin Lin, strode forward, and pushed open the small door of the wing room on the side of the farmhouse's courtyard, which was stacked with many sundries, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time. Xiao Fan didn't pay attention to it, walked straight over, and pushed the small door on the other side open, but it was a bluestone path hidden in the woods, but after walking one or twenty steps, he turned to the other side of the woods, and he couldn't see the farmhouse courtyard anymore, only a path led to the slope down, and after walking more than a hundred steps, the terrain gradually went up again.
Undoubtedly, this is the real path to the main altar of the Seven Wonders Palace, how can ordinary outsiders find such a secret path? Even if you find it, you have to pass the level of Granny Hua first.
It's ingenious. (To be continued......)
