Chapter 35: The place of death, the situation of death
Although Guangyang County is a county seat, it is larger and more prosperous than most cities. This has a lot to do with Taihua Zong, because to go to Taihua Zong, you must pass through this county seat.
Ten years ago, the Taihua Sect suddenly became the leader of the sects in the mountains of the Three Prefectures. Naturally, Guangyang County was like "one person attains Taoism, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
Li Mingyue came this time to represent Qingyuan Mountain to participate in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, so it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed. In order not to shame his master who had ascended to the immortal world, he would not let the world waiting in Qingyuan Mountain
Disappointed, he must try his best in this Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting.
Therefore, he had to enter Guangyang County because he had to recover as much as possible from his physical injuries before the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting began.
In addition, Li Mingyue actually wanted to try his luck at this so-called Fairy Treasure Trading Conference to see if he could find a treasure that could be used by the woman in the bell.
Although it is said that relying on external forces is the most taboo in practice, it is just a subjective assumption, and it is difficult to achieve it objectively. For any strong person, there may be some who rely entirely on their own existence, but they must be very few. Otherwise, why would there be so many geniuses devoted themselves to it?
Isn’t it just to get the protection of the sect?
Growth with shelter may be a bit frivolous, but without shelter, it is difficult to grow. This is an objective fact.
No matter how amazing a person's talent is, if he does not have the protection of his elders and the support of all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the only possibility is to die prematurely. This is still the case in the mortal world, not to mention the world of cultivation where the jungle is strong.
Li Mingyue now only hopes that after his identity is revealed, the Taihua Sect will come forward to protect him, and the court will take into account the opinions and opinions of the world and will not really take action against him. Otherwise, Guangyang County may become Li Mingyue's death gate.
Just when Li Mingyue was about to walk into Guangyang County, the four-legged snake suddenly ran in front of Li Mingyue, shaking its head.
Li Mingyue really didn't know what he wanted to express and frowned slightly.
Li Mingyue has always found it strange that the majestic big demon in Mao'er Mountain was already able to speak human words. Why did he not only turn into such a small four-legged snake after leaving Mao'er Mountain, but he could not even speak?
Said?
"There is a ban in Guangyang County, and evil spirits cannot get close. Therefore, once it and that little devil get close, the ban will be activated and they will be killed by the formation." Just when Li Mingyue was full of doubts, the woman in the bell explained.
road.
Li Mingyue said bitterly: "Does that mean we can't take them with us?"
Li Mingyue originally thought that with that little devil around, she would at least have an extra layer of protection, but now it seems that this last layer of protection is gone.
The woman in the bell said: "You can take them with you, but you have to avoid the restrictions in the city. I will teach you a secret method to temporarily put them in the Chaos Bell and use the Chaos Bell as a cover. There will be no problem. It's just that if you enter
After the city, they cannot leave you even one foot away."
Li Mingyue nodded and breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then frowned again.
The four-legged snake can't leave him even one foot away. The four-legged snake is okay. After all, there are many monks on the mountain who tame spiritual beasts around him. Let alone an inconspicuous four-legged snake, no one would find it strange even if it is a python. But
That little devil is a problem.
Anyone who has evil ways will punish him. Once this little guy is exposed, he doesn't have to wait for the strong men of Tang and Yan to take action. The righteous monks in this city will have to send him, Li Mingyue, to the eighteenth level of hell.
As if aware of Li Mingyue's worries, the woman in the bell said: "Don't worry, with the Chaos Bell as a cover, and the Buddhist Vajra Circle on his body, it will be difficult for ordinary people to find out the clues. Of course, you have to prepare a suit of clothes for him, preferably something like
If you do this now, cover up your entire body, and give him some popularity, no one will notice him in the Guiyuan realm."
Li Mingyue nodded, and then began to learn the so-called secret method. In fact, it was not a complicated and profound magical power, but a simple method of driving a bell, which was similar to using the Qiankun Bag.
Li Mingyue just recited the mantra silently, and the bell began to emit a gleaming light, and then rotated rapidly in front of him, making a sweet and crisp "ding-dong" sound, which made Li Mingyue feel a little weird.
Li Mingyue has carried this bell with her for at least three years, and it has not made any sound. This is the first time.
As the bell rotated, the four-legged snake quickly turned into a stream of light, entered the bell, and disappeared completely.
Probably knowing what Li Mingyue meant, the little ghost also emerged from the ground and entered the bell directly.
Li Mingyue changed the technique again, took the bell back and hung it on his waist again. Then the bell returned to its original state. No matter how much it was shaken, it would not make any sound.
Li Mingyue glanced at the city gate in front of her, exhaled, and walked up.
Li Mingyue was previously worried that his identity would be exposed, but what he never expected was that when he reported his identity, the general responsible for the interrogation did not believe him at all and insisted on asking him to produce symbolic objects that could prove his identity as a disciple of Qingyuan Mountain.
This stumped Li Mingyue.
Qingyuan Mountain really doesn’t have any symbolic objects. One master and two apprentices are all that Qingyuan Mountain has. Although it has been granted the title by the imperial court, it is just an additional mountain temple. There is nothing that can represent Qingyuan Mountain.
Something about discipleship.
Li Mingyue took a look around and found that those who entered the city would either take out a jade plaque representing a sect, or some kind of document issued by the local government. After confirming it with the soldiers guarding the city, they could enter the city.
Li Mingyue stood under the tower, dumbfounded. What is this?
Emotionally, I overestimated the weight of the word "Li Mingyue". I originally thought that after revealing my identity, it would definitely cause a lot of fluctuations. At least these soldiers would report it to the superiors. I never thought that these people had no idea at all.
He took it seriously and didn't even know who Li Mingyue was.
The flow of people must have loosened up a bit. The general in charge looked at Li Mingyue still standing there, frowned, then walked over and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Li Mingyue said bitterly: "Master Jun, I am really a disciple of Qingyuan Mountain, and I am here to participate in the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting on behalf of Qingyuan Mountain."
The general in charge was obviously impatient and said: "You kid, it's not good to pretend to be someone else. You have to pretend to be Qingyuan Mountain. Do you know where Qingyuan Mountain is? That is the place where immortals ascend. If you are like you,
Disciple of Qingyuan Mountain, do you believe that I am still the general in charge of the three states?"
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "The general is wise and powerful, I believe it. Even if he is not now, he will be in the future."
The general was stunned, then smiled and waved his hand: "Go, go, don't interfere with military affairs, otherwise you will be punished."
Li Mingyue said with a mournful face: "I am really a disciple of Qingyuan Mountain. Chen Daoling is my master. Because the senior sister has sworn not to come down from the mountain, she asked me to represent Qingyuan Mountain to participate in this Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting. As for proof, I really don't know how to prove that the master has ascended."
Before, I didn’t say there was anything that could prove that I was a disciple of Qingyuan Mountain.”
What happened here quickly attracted onlookers from around, and there was some confusion on the tower. Li Mingyue felt more and more bitter in her heart. I was afraid that she would not be able to escape the charge of obstructing military affairs.
Unexpectedly, the general stared at Li Mingyue and asked doubtfully: "Are you really a disciple of Qingyuan Mountain?" Li Mingyue nodded quickly and said: "It's true."
The general asked: "Then you must have learned some powerful magical powers, right? In this way, as long as you show it, I will believe you."
Li Mingyue was really bitter to the extreme. With her current body, it was difficult for her to just speak, but she also used magical powers. Isn't this trying to force others to do something difficult?
But now, other than that, there seems to be no way to prove his identity. If he cannot prove his identity, he will not be able to enter Guangyang County, and he will not be able to participate in the so-called Immortal Treasure Trading Conference, let alone the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference.
In desperation, Li Mingyue could only sacrifice the dagger, and then performed a fancy sword control technique. The general was so amazed that he reluctantly believed Li Mingyue's words, and then allowed Li Mingyue to enter the city.
Li Mingyue, who finally entered Guangyang County, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked back with a helpless smile.
After entering the city, Li Mingyue discovered that most of the people in the city were monks, and many of them were very powerful. There were both powerful sects and casual cultivators. It seemed that they were all here for the Immortal Treasure Trading Conference.
This is a good thing. The more people there are, the more fairy treasures will appear, and the greater the chance of obtaining the elixir.
Because the Fairy Treasure Trading Conference will only start tomorrow, Li Mingyue must first find a place to stay, and at the same time find out some specific information about the Fairy Treasure Trading Conference, and then settle down the little devil and the four-legged snake.
Not long after Li Mingyue entered Guangyang County, a man wearing armor walked quickly into a government office in Guangyang County, passed through the front hall, and entered a room.
This is a study room. In the study room, in addition to an elegant man wearing a brocade robe, there is also a maid in blue.
The elegant man is sitting on a rosewood chair, holding a book in his left hand, concentrating on it, and placing his right hand on the table. There is a steaming cup of hot tea in his hand.
Next to him, the maid in green knelt on her knees, holding a cattail leaf fan in her hand, and gently fanned it to keep the carbon fire in the stove at the same temperature.
After the armored man came in, the elegant man put down his books, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then said, "It's really cold in the south."
The man in armor bowed to the elegant man and said with a smile: "Who says it's not the case? It's a pity that you can only celebrate the New Year here this year."
The elegant man smiled and said: "I've done it everywhere, and no one cares about me over there..."
He changed his words and asked: "Coming?"
The armored man nodded and said: "I just entered the city not long ago. It seems that I was seriously injured. He must have fought with the Yan State. I came so early and probably wanted to find some healing elixirs at the Immortal Treasure Trading Conference."
The elegant man nodded.
The armored man asked: "Do you want someone to keep an eye on it?"
The elegant man waved his hand and said: "No, since he wants to participate in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, let him participate. I also want to see how much he has learned from Chen Daoling. By the way, since he needs pills, let him help him
A handful."
The armored man was stunned for a moment, and nodded without saying anything.
The elegant man suddenly raised his head and said quietly: "Things are getting more and more interesting. Taiqing Sect, Five Kingdoms... How many surprises has Chen Daoling prepared? I really can't help but want to see how he leaves Taihua Sect alive.
?”
"A place of death and a situation of death in the eyes of mortals, are they really so worthless in the eyes of immortals?"
