Chapter 21 There are young people who travel far, and there are teachers who guard the city
After the last interception, Li Mingyue hasn't encountered anything in recent times. Apart from taking care of her senior sister's food and daily life as before, she also goes to the private school to attend classes, and then practices and raises swords.
Everything else was fine, but raising a sword was a meticulous job that couldn't be careless at all, so Li Mingyue couldn't go to bed until midnight almost every day, and had to get up early in the morning before dawn.
Fortunately, after practicing, his spirit and body have undergone tremendous changes, otherwise he would have been destroyed long ago just by struggling like this.
During this time, Li Mingyue found that there were fewer and fewer students in the private school, and after winter, there were no more children.
On this day, the private school teacher told Li Mingyue another Confucian classic. When packing his things, he said: "You learn very quickly. There is not much I can teach you. There is no need to come tomorrow. There are still some classics here. You
You can also take it back."
Li Mingyue was stunned and soon understood what this gentleman was thinking. She knew that he was worried about his own safety. After all, word had spread outside that the armies of the five countries would attack in the next two days.
In fact, the war between the Five Kingdoms and the Tang Kingdom has never stopped, but it is not as large-scale as this time. But no matter how it is fought, the secular war at the foot of the mountain will not involve the mountain. In other words, as long as Li Mingyue does not leave Qingyuan
Mountain, even if the armies of the Five Kingdoms went to Haojing, not a single soldier would set foot on Qingyuan Mountain.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The secular people at the bottom of the mountain do not dare to easily provoke the monks on the mountain, and the monks on the mountain will not easily interfere in the disputes in the secular world. Because once the forces on the mountain are involved, the nature will completely change.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Some monks will also walk around under the mountain, and there are also many monks who work for the forces under the mountain. There is no way, they are all for survival.
As the woman in the bell said, cultivation is not just about talent, it also requires opportunities and resources. Many times, a pill or a treasure can bankrupt a person's fortune.
But Li Mingyue still doesn’t understand these things. In this path of cultivation, he has just crossed the threshold. The main reason is because he has a very powerful master. Although he has ascended, he has already given him what he needs.
Be prepared, otherwise the natal magic weapon alone can cut off Li Mingyue's path of cultivation.
Which of the elixirs, magic weapons, and secret books of exercises are free of charge? Which of them are not priced at a sky-high price that ordinary people would never dare to imagine in their lifetime?
If cultivation was really that easy, who wouldn't want to live forever?
It was precisely because of this that Chu Jianmin and the old man in gray robe said that Li Mingyue was just lucky.
But as Chu Jianmin said, good fortune sometimes also depends on ability.
Li Mingyue accepted the books given by the gentleman, thanked him and left the private school. He did not ask the gentleman what his future plans were, nor did he ask him to take refuge in Qingyuan Mountain.
For some people and some things, saying nothing and doing nothing is actually the best choice.
After this day, Li Mingyue did not leave Qingyuan Mountain again. Firstly, the battle had officially begun and the foot of the mountain had become a battlefield. Secondly, the Ten Thousand Immortals Association was getting closer and closer, and Li Mingyue had no time to pay attention to it.
Something else.
According to Su Qingfeng, the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting is the largest grand gathering in the cultivation world of the three southwest states. It is held every ten years. As long as the sects are famous, they will be invited to participate.
The first sect will be the sect where the next Ten Thousand Immortals Conference will be held.
The last time it was the Taehwa Sect in Jinzhou that won first place, so this year's Wanxian Meeting will be held in Jinzhou.
In addition to the invited sects from the three states, the Ten Thousand Immortals Association will also have sects from other states and even sects from other countries participating, all wanting to prove themselves in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.
This time, the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting will be the same as before. All the descendants of the sect under the age of thirty can participate. As long as you achieve good results in the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting, you will not only gain fame and honor, but also receive corresponding rewards.
As for what it is, it will be different every time, but it will definitely be of great help to practice.
Originally, according to the rules of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, Su Qingfeng could naturally participate, and with Su Qingfeng's strength, there was almost no pressure to get first place.
Not to mention the three southwest states, but also the entire Tang Kingdom, there are only a handful of monks who have reached the martial arts realm before the age of thirty. As for the monks who have reached the martial realm before the age of twenty, Su Qingfeng is the only one in thousands of years.
Therefore, the existence of Su Qingfeng is simply an insurmountable mountain for the geniuses in the three southwest states. This time, there is no doubt that the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association is Su Qingfeng's bag, but it is Su Qingfeng who
However, Qingfeng made a vow to never go down the mountain until he returned to the Yuan Realm. This made countless people breathe a sigh of relief, and even more people woke up laughing in the middle of the night.
Originally, the Ten Thousand Immortals Society had nothing to do with Qingyuan Mountain, but after Chen Daoling ascended to the throne, the imperial court decreed that Qingyuan Mountain suddenly became the number one sect in Lanzhou, so it was natural for them to participate, not only because of the spiritual practice community in Lanzhou, but also because of Chen Daoling.
If Li Mingyue didn't practice, Su Qingfeng could use the oath as an excuse not to participate. Not only would the other sects not say anything, but they would be happy to see the results. After all, whether Su Qingfeng will be there or not are two completely different situations.
But now that Li Mingyue has chosen to practice cultivation, if he doesn't participate, some people will make a fuss about this matter and make irresponsible remarks about Qingyuan Mountain.
Nowadays, there are many people who want to see the joke of Qingyuan Mountain. Because of this, winter has just entered, and another invitation has been sent from Taihua Sect. What they say is that this Wanxian meeting cannot be without Qingyuan Mountain. Listen
He sounded polite, full of respect and admiration for Chen Daoling, but in fact he just wanted to see Qingyuan Shan's joke at the Wanxian Meeting.
Since Su Qingfeng does not participate, the only one who participates is Li Mingyue. For Su Qingfeng, these sects are scared to death, but Li Mingyue is just the opposite.
In more than ten years, he has not been able to learn even the basic Taoist techniques, yet such a person is a disciple of Chen Daoling. If such a person were to stand in the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, just thinking about it would make people laugh out loud.
Su Qingfeng naturally understood these things, which was one of the reasons why she was annoyed with Li Mingyue for staying in Qingyuan Mountain to practice.
However, Li Mingyue gave her a big surprise. She never thought that in just one year, Li Mingyue would go from knowing nothing to becoming a monk in the subtle realm.
The fifteen-year-old entering the micro realm is really not bad, and has even made many so-called geniuses feel ashamed. In addition, during this period of time, the Taiqing sect continued to come to provoke them, and the interception and killing of the soldiers not long ago made it even more embarrassing.
Li Mingyue grew up in an instant. In terms of combat prowess, Li Mingyue is now no worse than any monk in the Subtle Realm.
Of course, the limit of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association is after all, people under the age of thirty, and although there are very few monks under the age of thirty in Lanzhou who have entered the martial arts realm, there are quite a few in the ninth realm of divine illumination, including the great master of the Taiqing Sect.
Senior brother is one, and he may even have entered the martial realm.
This time Li Mingyue went to attend the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting, Su Qingfeng was most worried about the Taiqing Sect Senior Brother. Although he was currently practicing in the Taihua Sect, he came from the Taiqing Sect after all, and Zhang Qingyu was his disciple.
Teacher. If Li Mingyue had joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Club, this Taiqing Sect senior brother might not have gone to Qingyuan Mountain to trouble Li Mingyue. But now that Li Mingyue wants to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Club, there is no guarantee that this senior brother will not.
Through Wanxian, I will take revenge on my mentor.
In addition, Su Qingfeng is also a little worried about Li Mingyue's identity and the three swords on his body. Hao Jing will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity as the Wanxian Conference. At the Wanxian Conference, what else will happen?
Once a member of the Shao San Sect discovers the three swords on Li Mingyue, the threat to Li Mingyue will never be lower than that of Hao Jing.
But she was worried and there was nothing she could do.
In the final analysis, it was Li Mingyue's own choice that led to the current situation, and no one could help him.
The path he chooses can only be walked by himself. As for what will happen on this road, he can only face it by himself.
Because the Ten Thousand Immortals Association will be held in the spring, and it will take at least two months to go to Taihua Sect, so we can only leave early, and we will definitely not be able to pass the New Year.
At this moment, Li Mingyue had packed up what she needed to bring, which was actually not much, just a few changes of clothes, some scattered silver for travel expenses, and then an oil-paper umbrella, and nothing else.
It's still snowing outside, but unlike last year, the snow this year is much lighter, and it's still drizzle. It's really cold.
Su Qingfeng and Li Mingyue walked side by side and stopped after walking out of Sanqing Temple.
Li Mingyue also stopped and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm leaving then."
Su Qingfeng nodded and said: "Be careful when you go here, and don't meddle in other people's business on the way. Remember, don't show off at the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting, don't worry too much about winning or losing, and beware of those who are practicing in the Taihua Sect of the Taiqing Sect.
If you encounter him, just admit defeat and never fight him."
Li Mingyue nodded.
Su Qingfeng continued: "The most important point is that you must never use those three swords as a last resort."
Li Mingyue asked in confusion: "What is the last resort?"
Su Qingfeng replied: "Unless life is at stake."
Li Mingyue nodded again, "I've written it down."
Su Qingfeng nodded and said no more.
Li Mingyue opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked down Qingyuan Mountain step by step.
Su Qingfeng stood in front of the Sanqing Temple, watching him disappear on the way down the mountain. After a long time, he raised his head slightly and whispered: "Come back safely."
…
After Li Mingyue left Qingyuan Mountain, she headed northwest. Because she wanted to avoid the towns where the two countries were at war, she had to take a lot of detours. Coupled with the damn rain and sleet, the road was muddy and it was very difficult to walk.
, it’s hard to feel better.
After coming down the mountain, Li Mingyue heard a lot of rumors about the battle, one of which made Li Mingyue feel complicated.
I heard that when the armies of the Five Kingdoms attacked Sangji City, the defenders of Sangji City had already withdrawn, but there was a teacher in Sangji City who stood alone at the top of the city, pointing at the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms and yelling, and was finally
Thousands of arrows pierced his heart and died.
After the army of the Five Kingdoms entered the city, they found that there were many old, weak, women and children in the city. Perhaps because of the courage of the teacher, or perhaps because the teacher's scolding was unreasonable, the army of the Five Kingdoms not only did not go on a killing spree, but instead
These Tang people, whom they hated to the core, were placed in the city and distributed food.
