Chapter Ninety-Eight: Thousands of Turtles Gather on the Five Dragons River, Thousands of Miles of Mountains and Rivers, Chen Jinxiu
On the third day of the ninth month, the Zhongtai faction held a feast in the southwest Longzhu to entertain the Dongsheng factions.
After receiving the invitation, the head of the sect, He Yizhu, selected a total of hundreds of disciples and elders, took a frisbee cloud boat, set off from the land of Wu in the southwest, and came to the north, more than 20 days later, they arrived at the turbulent Dachuan River.
The Dachuan River runs from west to east, and the other four big rivers are staggered and assembled at the place of the navel eye in the middle stream, the world is called "Wulongjiang", its shape is just like a "big" word, the East Shengzhou is divided into five, and the pattern of the world is thus formed.
The river is turbulent, and in the center of the river, there are large black reefs, which are densely covered in the entire river.
If you look closely, you can distinguish not what kind of stone, but a huge monster, stepping on the bottom of the river, coiled like a mill, only a black back shell exposed to the surface of the river, where to bear the essence of the sun and the moon, as far as the eye can see, there are more than a thousand.
Among them, there are more than a dozen of them are particularly huge, and when they raise their heads, they are almost flat with the mountains, and they are facing the scorching sun at this moment.
The elder who drove forward raised his hand, signaled to stop, and said cautiously: "Be careful with the disciples in the back, follow the master when crossing the river, don't be a demon turtle eating in the mouth." ”
Everyone made a promise.
These demon turtles usually live in the river, as long as there are monks crossing the river, they will try to swallow them, except for the Yuanying monks who can escape above the extreme sky, can hide from the past, the rest want to cross the river, can only enter the water to rest in the hour or two, that is, one does not beware, but also will be killed by it.
In the past, the five major factions did not think of exterminating it, but after all, it was not in their own territory. The monks who went here had no intention of making a difference. Moreover, the demon turtle has a solid back armor, and the general magic weapon and sword weapon cannot be broken at all, even if it is invincible, it can also shrink its head and hide in the depths of the river bottom, and ordinary methods are simply unthinkable.
And these dozen or so demon turtles are even more remarkable, almost fighting with the Yuanying monks, and the group of painstaking men had no intention of going to provoke, so they carefully bypassed, and it took half a day to cross the river.
When they arrived on the other side, a disciple pointed down and said, "There are already Zhongtai disciples waiting for you next to the river. ”
The elder sighed. said: "It's actually welcome to the bank of the river." Master Qiao also has a heart. ”
He didn't care about it, but if he went forward for another ten days, he was moved.
These days, they have traveled tens of thousands of miles, but there is a pavilion for ten miles on the way. A hundred miles and an altar. A hill for a thousand miles. There are Zhongtai disciples to greet each other, every thousand miles, there are thousands of pearls piled up on the hill into a tower. Blooming and sparkling.
On both sides of the road, there are golden boats from time to time, and on each boat, there are beautiful women in colorful clothes standing on the head of the boat, pouring water and wine from the air, and converging into a river in the ditch and drying up.
And point the demon carp with pearls, leisurely frolic, from time to time there are maids to throw down the bait, swallow with their mouths, the pearl in the belly shines, a little star will loom under the transparent water, to the night, the earth glows with strange brilliance, the water is like a galaxy, it is really lined with the splendid mountains and rivers, and the scenery is infinite.
The disciples of the Painstaking Sect were all amazed, from here to the southwest dragon pillar, there were at least more than 10,000 miles of land, if they were arranged like this along the way, a rough calculation, at least twenty or thirty immortal cities would have to be filled in, and under the sect of the three sects in Nanzhou, the immortal cities owned by each faction were just such a number.
Zhongtai is different, since the Xuanyue faction has a family background, there are nearly 100 immortal cities in hand, although it pays a lot, but it does not hurt the muscles and bones, it can be described as powerful and powerful, thinking of this, everyone and others feel shocked in their hearts.
The elder looked at Da Da and frowned, pondered for a while, and then flew towards a jade disk in the sky that had been several miles away.
This plate is called "Four Seas Jade Plate", there are mountains and rivers in the plate, it becomes a blessed place of scenic spots, the head of the family He Yizhu lies high on a green peak, his appearance is about forty years old, deep clothes and broad belts, Zhang Luo is like wings, the whole person hides the qi and collects, the elite is introverted, looking ordinary, except for the clothes on the body, but not like a monk.
When the elder arrived, he explained the following situation and said, "Master, the Zhongtai has set up such a battle, which is clearly for me and others to see, and there is no meaning of boasting and demonstrating. ”
He Yizhu listened to the announcement and said with a smile: "The battle is indeed not small, and if you do something like this, won't you have to scatter thousands of disciples? ”
He changed his mind, beckoned, called a disciple, and said, "You go down and inquire and ask where those people came from." ”
The disciple took the order, and after a while, he turned back and said: "Master, the disciple has already asked clearly, most of the original Xuanyue people at the bottom are sent this time, and most of them are for them." ”
He Yizhu smiled and said to more than ten disciples on both sides: "When I came to be a teacher, I said that the two factions have been at odds for thousands of years, and now although they are merged, how can the grievances accumulated over thousands of years be easily eliminated? ”
The disciples said yes one after another.
The elder was silent, but he understood that his words were just a boost to his own family.
In Dongshengzhou, if a sect has a cave and a real person in charge, it can stand, and then evaluate whether its sect is strong, the key is only two, one is to look at the geometry of the immortal city, and the other is to practice the magic power.
And the Zhongtai Taoist system is passed down by the ancestor of Dami, although the patriarch of the Kaipai faction only serves the boy by his side, and does not get the true inheritance, it is still much better than other families, and the only one who can compare with it in the continent is only one of the small warehouse realm.
Zhong Tai has now obtained the Xuanyue Gongfa, and in a few hundred years, who knows what it will become?
The reason why the three factions want to get involved in the dragon pillar is not all the secret treasures underneath, but I heard that there is a handwritten book of the great ancestor inside, if Zhongtai can go, and then create a cave Tianzhen person to come out, it can be guaranteed for two thousand years, and if there is no accident in the future, it will be able to suppress the three factions of Nanzhou, so I try not to let it succeed.
At this time, a disciple came up from below, clasped his fists and said, "Master, there are more than a dozen people close behind me, as if they are the Qingxuanzong monks." ”
He Yizhu smiled: "Mao Lao Dao has also arrived." ”
He patted lightly, the jade couch under him flew up, and in the blink of an eye, he raised his eyes and saw that more than ten miles away, a group of people were coming.
The first person wore a crown of eight beams, dressed in an eaves and elm robe, with green clouds at his feet, his facial features crowded together, looking ridiculous, and riding a big finch with a flower feather under him, it was Mao Wuwei, the head of Qingxuanzong.
Behind him are the three sages in the door, pious, sincere, pure white three real people, their clothes are stained, as if they have not been washed for many years, they are all riding a bald dove when they sit down, plus the accompanying disciples, but there are only a dozen or so people, they look listless, shabby to the extreme, compared with the painstaking door, it is simply miserable.
He Yizhu couldn't help but be amused when he saw this scene, and said from afar: "Master Mao, I don't want to bump into it here, my place is spacious, a few more people can sit down, and it can also shelter from the wind and rain, why don't you come up and go along?"
There was a hint of ridicule and derogation in his words, but Mao Wuwei sighed and said: "Since Master He is full of hospitality, the old man is shy." ”
Having said that, there was no embarrassment on his face, and the three real people behind him were also happy to obey.
The monks of Qingxuanzong never cared about any face-to-face courtesy, they only talked about benefits, which saved their own energy, so why not do it?
These people came up to the jade plate together, Mao Wuwei landed first, and after coming down, the big finch flapped its wings and turned into a woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes in red makeup, who seemed to be a little shy, lowered her head, and followed him step by step.
He Yizhu waved his sleeves and ordered his disciples to go up to greet him.
After Mao Wuwei sat down, he saw that there were a lot of delicacies and wines on the table, and he didn't care about his identity as a respected family, so he grabbed a big goose coated with honey and came over, and gnawed it like this, after a few bites, he raised his head, stared at the disciples of the side doorman, and said vaguely: "What are you doing in a daze, your hands are fast, your hands are slow, and if you don't do it, you will be all cheap and old-fashioned." ”
When the three elders heard him say this, they rushed to sit down, as if they were afraid that he would eat it all, and they all devoured it, and several disciples behind him also did the same, and the disciples of the Painstaking Sect were all dumbfounded.
He Yizhu said sarcastically: "Master Mao's robe is so bright, it won't be just changed, right?"
Mao Wuwei got up, patted the table, and said to the three elders behind him: "How? ”
The three real people looked at each other without saying a word, and each groped for his way to take out a box of lingbei from his sleeve bag, and obediently sent it into his hand, but when it was the turn of the pure white real person, the expression on his face was very painful, and he said with a sad face: "Senior brother, can you leave some junior brothers as coffin books." ”
Mao Wuwei sneered, stretched out his hand, and snatched it mercilessly.
Then he wiped his mouth and said triumphantly at He Yizhu: "So that Master He knows that Lao Dao's robe is not new." ”
He untied his shirt and opened it open, revealing the thick grease inside, fanned it twice, and there was a fishy smell of everyone covering his nose, and he smiled: "What? It's just a change of inside and out, or the one you and I wore when we played chess thirty years ago, and Master He didn't expect it, right?"
He Yizhu's expression stiffened slightly, he secretly regretted it at this time, he knew this old temperament, but he still invited him up, it was really self-inflicted.
Qing Xuanzong and the others ate for a day and a night, until they ate a mountain on the table, and then they eased up.
Mao Wuwei touched his belly that had not changed much with satisfaction, glanced at it, and saw a disciple who was still eating and chewing, and he slapped him when he went up, hating iron and steel: "Eat and eat, with your Taoism, how much can you eat?" ”
Only then did the disciple reluctantly put down the plate.
Seeing them stop, He Yizhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, coughed, and said, "It's been all these times, why don't you see Master Chen?
Mao Wuwei burped, took a bamboo stick, and said with gritted teeth: "Daoyou Xiu should forget, Mrs. Zhao was born in the Fengxiang Sword Sect, and the two families have old friendships, I'm afraid they have already arrived one step ahead." ”
He Yizhu heard the news, and suddenly felt a tight feeling in his heart, this is a banquet, but it is actually for the Dragon Pillar, if the three families advance and retreat together, then it is okay to say, most of them can force Zhongtai to give in, but if they are co-opted to go to one, it will be a little bad.
