To the south of the Dasu Kingdom is the Daya Kingdom, and to the south of the Daya Kingdom is the Manwu Kingdom.
Eight hundred miles southeast of Manwu Kingdom there is a mountain range called Yunling.
There is a dragon vein buried under the Yunling Mountains.
This dragon vein stretches for more than a hundred miles from north to south, and the majestic and endless spiritual energy nourishes the Yunling Mountains all the time, making the entire mountain range lush with vegetation, full of animals, and full of fairy spirit.
Living in the Yunling Mountains all year round, even ordinary people who don't know how to practice can nourish some immortal energy.
However, idlers are not allowed to approach the Yunling Mountains because this is where the gate of Wentian Sect is located.
In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of guests in front of the Wentian Sect, most of them young men in their twenties.
They came from all over Qingzhou and received invitations from the Wentian Sect to participate in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride.
The winner of the first prize will not only win the beauty, but also be accepted as a core disciple of the Wentian Sect.
Even if you don't get first place, as long as you can break into the top twenty, you will be accepted by Wentian Sect.
The conditions were very attractive, so everyone who received the invitation rushed to sign up to participate in the competition.
They are all the best among their peers, so everyone comes with confidence.
At noon that day, a young swordsman came to the gate of Wentian Sect.
He walked straight to the mountain gate, saluted the Wentian Sect disciple guarding the gate and said, "I've seen Brother Xian."
"Is something wrong?" The gatekeeper glanced at the young swordsman and hummed two words from his nostrils with a very arrogant attitude.
"I would like to enter the Immortal Sect to visit a friend. Please tell me, Brother Immortal." The young swordsman said respectfully.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Du Keyi, Miss Du." The young swordsman reached into his arms, took out two golden Yuanshi Golden Pills, handed them to the gatekeeper, and said, "Thank you, Immortal Brother."
The gatekeeper's eyes lit up, he took the Yuanshi Golden Pill and put it into his arms. The look on his face suddenly became much kinder and he said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that the junior sisters have not seen guests in recent days."
A look of disappointment flashed across the young swordsman's eyes, and he asked, "Is Miss Du practicing in seclusion?"
"It seems you really don't know." The gatekeeper disciple said, observing the young swordsman's expression and reaction.
"what do you know?"
"Wait a moment." The gatekeeper disciple looked towards the avenue in front of the mountain gate and saw two dusty figures walking in the distance.
The two of them were very fast and arrived at the door very quickly. Before the gatekeeper could say anything, the young man among the two took out a red invitation from his arms, handed it to the gatekeeper, and said: "My dear Dongxu
Guofang Qianyu was invited to participate in the Guixian Sect's martial arts contest to recruit a bride."
The gatekeeper disciple opened the invitation and took a look at it, nodded, handed the invitation back to the young man, and then raised his hand to point to the mountain climbing avenue in the mountain gate: "Follow the avenue to the top of the mountain, and someone will register you and arrange a place for you.
Don't wander around, or you may accidentally enter a forbidden area and lose your life. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance.
go in."
"Thank you, senior brother!" The young man saluted and then stepped into the mountain gate with his companions and walked up the mountain along the mountaineering road.
"Hmph..." The gatekeeper looked at the two people's retreating figures, curled his lips and snorted coldly, and said: "It's too early to call me Senior Brother now."
The implication is that it is unclear whether the young man can break into the top twenty.
"You see." The gatekeeper disciple looked at the young swordsman waiting aside, "This person came to Wewen Tianzong to participate in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, and the protagonist of this martial arts competition to recruit a bride is none other than Junior Sister Du Keyidu, so
She will not meet the guests in private until this competition is over."
The young swordsman frowned when he heard this. After being silent for a while, he bowed to the gatekeeper and thanked him, then turned and left.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you must be very sad when you hear that your sweetheart is going to become someone else's bride."
The gatekeeper disciple looked at the lonely figure of the young swordsman leaving, made up a story on his own, and then let out a sigh.
"Brother, I'm back." A middle-aged man walked out of the mountain gate and greeted the gatekeeper.
"Hmph!" The gatekeeper snorted and cursed, "You've been shitting for more than half an hour. You are lazy and slippery. You really deserve it!"
"Haha, senior brother, don't be angry. I'll treat you to a drink after your shift in the evening."
"That's about it." The gatekeeper disciple then put away his expression, but he was very happy in his heart. He was glad that his companion did not come back early, otherwise he would have lost one of the two Yuanshi Golden Pills.
Thinking of the two Yuanshi Golden Pills in his arms, he was suddenly startled. Looking at the back of the young swordsman disappearing into the distance, he thought strangely: "This person is using the Yuanshi Golden Pill. He is extremely generous. He must be either rich or noble.
His cultivation level should not be bad, after all, he is someone who can afford Yuanshi Golden Pill.
Logically speaking, such a person should receive the invitation, but why didn't he receive it? Could it be... could it be that he is from the Su Empire?"
The reason why he guessed so was because the Wentian Sect was only excluding people from the Dasu Empire of Qingzhou from the invitations it sent out this time.
He guessed correctly, the young swordsman was from the Su Empire.
Zhou Jianlai was walking on the roadside, kicking the stones on the road as he walked.
Du Keyi's martial arts competition to recruit a bride disturbed his mood, making him suddenly at a loss.
He clearly still had the birthday card with him, so why did he hold some sort of competition to attract a bride without even saying hello?
He was a little angry.
No, I am very angry.
"Why……"
Zhou Jianlai couldn't help but sigh bitterly when he thought that he had traveled thousands of miles on impulse, traveling thousands of miles, full of expectations and passion, only to be heartbroken by such depressing and sad news.
As he was walking, he suddenly looked startled, stood still, and murmured to himself: "I am sad, yes, very sad, and also very angry. Why are you sad? Why are you angry?"
"Because I hate this martial arts contest..." He asked and answered himself, "You are the woman I like, so it makes no sense to compete with others to get married. This woman has teased me, and now she wants to be irresponsible.
Humph, that’s a nice thought.”
drive!
In the distance, a horse galloped towards me.
Choking!
Zhou Jianlai drew his sword out of its scabbard, stood in the middle of the road, and stopped the horse.
Hurry——!
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? Get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The man riding the horse glared at Zhou Jianlai and shouted rudely.
"Robbery!"
"Haha, are you crazy? You dare to rob me at the gate of Wentian Sect. You are so impatient!" The man riding the horse laughed angrily at the two words that came out of Zhou Jianlai's mouth.
"Are you from Wentian Sect?"
"certainly."
"You can go, I won't rob you anymore." Zhou Jianlai put away his sword and got out of the way.
"It's not up to you to calamity or not." The man on horseback drew out his sword with a cry and shouted: "If you let you block the road and rob you, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of Wentian Sect? Since I caught you, how can I allow you to continue?
presumptuous!"
Zhou Jianlai shook his head and said: "You don't have what I want on you, so leave quickly and don't affect my work."
