Chapter Fifty-eight The crowd takes one more look at you
On the eighth day of September, the sky was overcast.
Zhou Tai once again stood there like a groundhog and looked into the distance.
After dawn arrived, all the convoys began to take action. Some sounds from the ground woke up Zhou Tai, who was still sleeping.
Under normal circumstances, in this world without any entertainment activities, Zhou Tai would basically wake up at dawn. Some thoughts last night and the weakening of his own cultivation had wasted a lot of time.
It's not clear whether it was due to the decline in cultivation. His body felt particularly tired, and he felt particularly dead after sleeping. It gave him the feeling that as soon as he closed his eyes, as soon as he opened them, it was dawn. It seemed that he didn't wake up at all after lying down.
Without wasting any time, he fell asleep directly.
In sight, a part of the convoy began to advance towards Yuanding Mountain. It seemed a bit chaotic, but it had a certain order and had no influence on each other.
When the convoy arrived at a piece of flat land in front of Yuanding Mountain, all the entourage began to unload things from the carriage, placing them on the flat ground in order, and piled them up on the spot, like a hill.
After unloading the things, the convoy and personnel began to evacuate, leaving only a few people to guard the place.
In this way, teams of convoys operated in this way, piling up more and more items on the flat land.
After each team evacuated, they did not stay where they were, but left directly away from here and headed for the distance.
When the convoys near Yuanding Mountain were unloading and evacuating, the convoys farther away began to move here.
Zhou Tai observed like this, each team took at least half an hour, and at the same time there were at least four teams unloading goods at the same time.
I made a simple calculation in my mind. If these more than one hundred convoys were traveling at the same speed, wouldn't they have to be unloaded until this time tomorrow?
When Zhou Tai looks at others, he is also the scenery in other people's eyes. Most people who see this lone ranger suddenly appear are surprised? Why does a person like a bystander suddenly appear? If it were in other places, he would have been there long ago.
So he went up and asked people to take him down, and asked for the reason, or just killed him directly.
But here, they don't dare to be arrogant, and the other party dares to watch so blatantly not far away. If he is not a fool, he must have someone to rely on.
It’s not that no one wants to see it, clichés or something like that. For example, Xiao Yiwu, who came with the Xiao family, thinks that he wants to be an outstanding immortal cultivator and has the grand goal of leading the great rejuvenation of the family, so he should go and see it.
No matter what the situation is, it's fine if you're an intruder by mistake. If you have a really strong background, you can also establish connections and so on.
Before, he was only on the first level of Qi training, but now he is on the second level of Qi training, which is very different. When he meets the person who ran away for half a night last time, he will never be evenly matched with the opponent, but can quickly defeat him.
The opponent captured it. His speed and methods were incomparable with those of the time.
Looking at the independent figure in the distance, he always felt an inexplicable familiarity, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly what the other person looked like.
However, although he successfully followed this time and was also the family's candidate for selection as a handyman of the Liuyun Sect, it was a pity that the leader was an elder of the clan. Xiao Yiwu had no say, and he dared to do so without asking for instructions.
, walked out alone, even if it was only a hundred meters away, this clan elder would definitely cancel his quota to join the Liuyun Sect as a handyman.
Among the other young people from the family who followed, none of them were eyeing his position. If they wanted to replace him, they were waiting for him to make a mistake. Although his branch also had clan elders, and the number was almost equal to that of his own branch.
I bought it, but I had to stand aside in front of family rules.
"You are going to go when no one is going? To stir up trouble out of thin air! At this critical moment, if you dare to act recklessly, let Xiao Yu go to Liuyun Sect for you. When you return to the clan, I will explain to the clan leader and other clan leaders."
If the clan elder did not agree with his going, he could not violate it. After hearing these words, he quickly admitted his mistake.
"You have a temper that can easily lead to trouble. I don't recommend choosing you to join the Liuyun Sect. You can do it yourself..." Finally, the clan elder left these words and turned around.
Xiao Yiwu was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the outside. He could only curse in his heart: "Old stubborn"
Counting all the people in the Xiao family, there are more than 100,000 acquaintances, but there are only ten highly respected clan elders. Major issues in the clan are decided by the clan elders through consultation, and if the clan elder loses his moral character or makes a major mistake,
, according to the clan rules, if the ten elders of the clan agree, they can remove and replace the clan leader.
According to family records, thousands of years ago, the Xiao family also played a decisive role in the world of immortality. However, a huge change occurred. All the top monks in the family were wiped out, and the family was almost destroyed. The remaining members of the family had to flee to this low level.
The spiritual land lingers.
In a low-spirited place, spiritual stones must be used to awaken spirits. Spiritual energy in the Qi-training stage is not good, nor is spiritual energy in the same spiritual-receiving stage. If one person's spiritual energy or spiritual power is put into another person's body, it will only cause rejection.
As a result, low-grade spiritual stones, which were originally few in number in the world of immortality but were not very expensive, were sold to sky-high prices in this low-spirited land.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. There are more than 100,000 members of the Xiao family, and currently there are only 19 direct branches. The others have become collateral branches as time goes by. If they want to practice, only the eldest descendants of the direct descendants have the opportunity to practice, but there are no spiritual stones to enlighten the spirit.
Even the direct descendants and eldest grandsons are in vain and cannot practice. Where does the right to speak in the family come from? The direct line will exist in name only and will gradually be divided into collateral lines by everyone.
Xiao Yiwu is the only hope for his team. After he received two spiritual stones and one spiritual stone supported by his team, he won the spot of Liuyun Sect's handyman. Normally, this
The quota is only four spiritual stones.
But even the third one that was scraped together was one of the only two spiritual stones in their group. It would take decades for an empty spiritual stone to replenish its spiritual energy, and it would take decades for it to be able to activate its spiritual energy again. This one, for him,
, and lost the opportunity to have another monk in decades.
Although Qi Ling also has a chance of failure, giving up completely is different from failure. He is under a lot of pressure.
After watching it for a long time, he found it boring. Zhou Tai turned around and went back to rest. He felt a little tired and needed a rest.
No one is making any noise, so I go to bed at night and sleep until dawn again.
The ninth day of September has arrived.
After getting up, Zhou Tai found that it was raining, not heavy, just light rain.
After tidying up and washing up, I started walking towards Yuanding Mountain again under my oil-paper umbrella.
At some point, the convoy with many people and horses disappeared, and the mountains of items piled up yesterday also disappeared, as if they had never appeared before. The flat land was still the same flat land, still normal and ordinary.
There were only a few people lining up at the bottom of the climbing stairs, and some people were seen walking up the stairs.
As he walked closer, Zhou Tai wondered if he would have to queue, but he soon gave up the idea of queuing, not because he would be the last in line, but because he realized that he was different from them.
If you follow the queue, you may not be following the same process. You are relying on the token in your hand. The person guarding the mountain road also said before that if you have this, you can go up the mountain. The most important thing is to go up the mountain and join Liuyun Sect.
They were busy with their own business and walked their own way. After thinking this way, Zhou Tai walked directly from the side of the crowd to the stairs.
In order to make a safe choice, I not only held the token in my hand, but also slightly raised it: I am the person with the pass.
Many of the people queuing up at the door were young and old together, and some were young groups. Everyone seemed to have a bit of aura, like a boss.
In front of the steps, at the front of the queue, Zhou Tai looked specifically. A young man in line took four spiritual stones from the old man behind him, handed them to a man wearing the same clothes as the two people who were guarding the mountain road, and then
In exchange for a token, I looked carefully and saw that it was almost exactly the same as the one in my hand!
There were a total of six people at the stairs wearing light blue, light gray and a bit of black clothing. When Zhou Tai walked past them with the token, he was not blocked or asked, and Zhou Tai started to climb the steps with great strides.
The people in line looked at the previous Lone Ranger and walked in with great swagger. They also got an entry-level servant order in advance. Some were lost in thought, and some were secretly glad that they had not been reckless before. Among them were the elders of the Xiao family.
.
Xiao Yiwu has already gone up, and has already finished all the instructions that need to be given. As for why the clan elders should follow him in the last step, it is just that the soul stone is not released. This has always been the tradition.
After a few days of training, Zhou Tai's legs have almost recovered, and walking up the stairs doesn't feel as strenuous as last time.
After walking more than ten steps, I looked back and saw the young man who had exchanged the spirit stone for the token. After getting the token, he simply said goodbye to the old man behind him and started to climb the steps. The old man just stood there and watched.
With.
Zhou Tai, who seemed to understand something but seemed to understand nothing at all, turned around and started climbing with big strides, never looking back.
When there were only a few steps left, the appearance of the top of Yuanding Mountain slowly appeared in front of Zhou Tai. To be honest, he was a little surprised.
There was a large flat land with a few stone houses on the edge. Zhou Tai's first sense and recognition was that they were huts, pulled down from the edge of the cliff.
Flying down three thousand feet, the stench fills the sky!
One zhang is equal to ten feet, and the mountain is more than three thousand feet high, so there is nothing wrong with it!
There is also a group of people standing in the middle of the mountain top, all looking towards themselves. Fortunately, their quality is not too bad and they are not afraid to look.
I took a casual look into the crowd and saw a familiar face: the man who had exchanged spiritual stones for his martial arts.
When the other party saw him, he also showed a bit of surprise. Although his appearance had changed slightly in the past two years, it seemed that the other party was deeply impressed by him.
Zhou Tai keeps his expression secret!
"This way!"
"ah!"
Seeing that the person he met once on the mountain road stayed where he was and did not move forward, Jiang Zongting had to give a warning.
It was possible that he was too involved. After the other party made a sound, Zhou Tai realized that there was someone beside him. He took a closer look and saw that he had seen him once on the mountainside.
Without saying anything else, he followed the direction given by the other party and walked into this group of people. Based on the principle of keeping a low profile and not causing trouble, he chose a position farther away from the guy who recognized him.
After walking a certain distance, Zhou Tai noticed that the rain that had been falling disappeared within a certain range when he walked into the middle of the top of the mountain. Looking to the side, the rain curtain was still there.
Although it was amazing, Zhou Tai had no intention of studying it to find out what was going on. The time and place were too wrong.
In this group of people, there are men and women, and all of them seem to have extraordinary momentum. The young people are the most numerous, followed by teenagers, and there are also a few old people and old women.
Some were talking in low voices, but Zhou Tai couldn't hear what they were saying. Some people closed their eyes and were concentrating. More people were paying attention to the steps at the top of the mountain, as if it was important to see who was coming up.
Originally, these people were all within the range of Zhou Tai's spiritual consciousness, but because he was unfamiliar with them, he did not let his spiritual consciousness check them randomly. Instead, he only kept them around his body. At this moment, he did not want to cause any trouble.
As time went by, there were more and more people, and then at a certain moment, six people from the Liuyun Sect below also came up. They and four others wearing the same clothes came to the crowd and stood in a circle
.
Immediately afterwards, two men wearing almost snow-white clothes flew back from two stone houses on the edge with swords.
Logically speaking, this should be very impressive. Zhou Tai noticed that the eyes of the guy who recognized him seemed to be straight.
He looks like he has never seen the world. What's so good about a man?
Zhou Tai glanced at these two guys again. He didn't see any fairy-like feeling, but he thought they were two sao bags.
A big man, dressed in white?
It seemed that because everyone had arrived, a ray of light flew out from another stone room. It wasn't until it flew above everyone that it was revealed to be a stunning fairy with a cold face.
Almost everyone, including the two formal disciples of Liuyun Sect, bowed their heads to show respect.
Only Zhou Tai took one more look than the others, and then found that everyone else had lowered their heads, so he withdrew his gaze.
is her!
The fairy who showed him the way, Zhou Tai inexplicably remembered the lyrics once: I just glanced at you one more time in the crowd...
This time there was no feeling of exposure. It seems that this person is still restrained in front of the crowd.
When I thought about coming out of that stone house, I suddenly thought of a sentence: Look at the waterfall and put on my coat before wearing it.
Why do I always have random thoughts in front of her? Just when Zhou Tai felt that his mentality was not right.
The token he had been holding in his hand, his hair shimmered, wrapped around his body.
The ground beneath my feet, which was originally just stone, lit up with bright thick lines, forming a complex pattern of double circles inside and outside.
For the first time, my wandering thoughts returned, and I glanced at where the crowd was standing.
All the people of Liuyun Sect are in the innermost circle, and they are not the same as others.
Immediately afterwards, unidentifiable runes began to flash on the bright lines on the ground, and then streaks of light burst out from the ground. The runes seemed to be alive, and part of them rushed out and floated in the void.
Around everyone, thousands of runes were shining, forming a three-dimensional complex pattern in the air under their feet.
Everyone is as hard to move as I am, but I am afraid, but I can't change anything.
