When Luochuan and his party marched westward to the military town of Xilan Gorge, an elite vanguard from the southern battlefield who came north from Taiming City also arrived.
The team was mainly infantry, and the armor was complete and well-equipped. The traces of wear and tear on the weapons and armor were very obvious. No one thought that those traces made the soldiers look embarrassed. On the contrary, they highlighted the solemn killing of this dusty team.
There were swords and guns like a forest, and blood flags like a curtain. Even though the team had left for a long time, Luo Chuan, who was sitting in the carriage and watching quietly, could not hide the shock in his heart.
Indeed, as the old coachman said, these are the real elites of Lijun.
The convoy set off on the road again without saying a word. After passing the long Xilan Canyon, the plains gradually opened up again before our eyes. Such was the magic of heaven and earth.
Cangyan City is located in the center of the Cangyan Basin. After passing the Xilan Gorge and heading west along the spacious official road, you will arrive. However, the convoy of Luochuan and his party split into two routes, with fifty blood cavalry escorting the property to Cangyan City.
, the other way followed him, the beautiful woman and Wangchuan Jianxiu's three carriages heading south.
To the south, there is Cangyan Mountain, one of the five famous mountains in mainland China.
Going south along the official road at the foot of the mountain, the official road gradually narrows, the terrain gradually gets higher, and the mountains become steeper along the way, but the population of the villages becomes more and more dense. Until we reach the foot of the famous mountain, the population gathers into a large-scale
's town.
The town is called Qingya Town. Unlike the small towns close to the mountains that we saw along the way to Luochuan, there are no city walls around this place. Instead, it is as open as a village on the plains. Houses are built according to the relatively flat terrain at the foot of the mountain.
The red walls and roof make it very eye-catching from a distance.
As I got closer, I realized that every one of the people here was a little dusty. Even passers-by dressed as farmers, they walked with their chins slightly raised, and they were steady and unhurried. When they saw such a cavalry convoy in Luochuan,
The arrival didn't make them even look at it slightly, it was really a sight they had never seen along the way.
The convoy went straight into the town without any inspection. After completing some basic supplies, they crossed over and headed straight to the Cangyan Mountain Gate in the distance.
The gate of Cangyan Mountain is quite impressive. It was originally an oval-shaped boulder that was half buried in the ground. The exposed part was more than twenty meters high. It was split in half with a sword, and a huge "" was written on one side.
The word "Cang" is written on the other half and "Yan" is written on the other half. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to pass through the middle of this split boulder. The heavy and oppressive feeling like a line of sky makes everyone on the way feel awe.
Heart.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, the two Wangchuan sword cultivators couldn't wait to go to the mountain gate and looked up and down carefully. From time to time they would discuss a few words, as if they were quite emotional.
Luo Chuan came to the second carriage in the middle and lifted the curtain and asked the beautiful woman inside, "Sister Fairy, won't you follow us up the mountain to take a look?"
The beautiful woman who was reading quietly said without raising her head, "What's there to see?"
Luo Chuan had no choice but to give up and turned around to greet the old coachman and Siqi. He also signaled to the tall blood cavalry general Luo Changgong and ten cavalry to accompany him, and then he should go to the mountain gate first.
"Two seniors, I said before that the Cangyan Sword Sect on Cangyan Mountain is a branch of Wangchuan. I wonder what the origin is?" Luo Chuan walked to the huge stone mountain gate and imitated the two Wangchuan Taoist priests and stretched out his hands on the stone wall.
He touched it and asked.
"The origin is very deep. The founder of Cangyan Sword Sect is the first disciple of his master, and the current headmaster of Cangyan Sword Sect is the first disciple of Lu Zu's first disciple," the ferocious-looking Taoist priest said to Luo
Chuan Xiao smiled and explained, "It is said that his cultivation has already reached the upper three realms, and his strength is unfathomable."
Luo Chuan immediately looked at the two Taoist priests beside him with a strange expression, "Everyone knows that there are three thousand sword cultivators on Wangchuan Mountain. The sword cultivators are all disciples of Lu Zu and are considered brothers. Then isn't this the headmaster of the Cangyan Sword Sect?
...?"
The ferocious-looking Taoist priest had a slightly embarrassed face, "Although fellow Wangchuan sword cultivators have always treated each other as brothers, in fact, due to the large difference in strength and time in the mountains, the two of us are only average. In fact
I treat many of my senior fellow apprentices as junior disciples. Although this Cangyan Sword Sect also belongs to the Wangchuan branch, it has actually established its own sect after all. We should naturally respect the master as a junior disciple."
Luochuan nodded and slowly went up the mountain with everyone.
There are many pedestrians on the way up the mountain. Some are simply dressed and probably belong to people from the small town down the mountain. Some are dressed in gorgeous clothes and must be children of wealthy families. Some go up the mountain slowly in groups, and some go down the mountain in twos and threes. In addition, when climbing the mountain,
When he was tired from climbing, he sat on the stone steps to rest. Luochuan suddenly felt like he was traveling in his past life.
"There is so much incense on Cangyan Mountain," Luochuan and several people were hidden among them by the blood knights. While climbing the mountain with their hands behind their hands, they looked at the passers-by. It could be seen that most of them came up the mountain to offer incense. He raised his head and looked at the looming peak.
He said, "With the ability to carry the immortal energy and popularity, it's no wonder that Cangyan Mountain's luck is endless."
The old coachman smiled and said, "The disciples of Cangyan Mountain focus on living in the world. Every year, young disciples are sent down the mountain to practice. Hundreds of years of chivalry and righteousness will naturally leave some fame in Cangyan. There is no shortage of incense.
, but an old friend of mine once said that most of the disciples of Cangyan Mountain are born with the view of worldliness, and they are really a typical example of being in the world but not in their hearts."
Luo Chuan glanced at the old coachman with some surprise. This comment did not contain a single word of ridicule, but he did not agree with it at all. You must know that everyone in the world has probably heard Wangchuan Lu Zu's phrase "Go up the mountain."
"Cultivation, go down the mountain to practice", what he really cultivated was to enter the human world, he looked at the two Taoist priests around him without showing any trace, and saw nothing strange.
All the way up the mountain, after walking for a long time, we reached a platform on the top of the mountain. Then we passed through a very majestic gatehouse, and it suddenly dawned on us. There was a flat stone square surrounded by three palaces and pavilions. The square was surrounded by smoke, and a group of believers were standing there.
Kneel down and worship devoutly towards the southern main hall.
Luochuan did not participate, he just looked around for a moment and then walked around to the back of the main hall.
Sure enough, after bypassing the square in front, we arrived at a clean place. In a much smaller square, there was not a single pilgrim except for the little Taoist priest who was cleaning.
"This guest..." A little Taoist priest who wanted to come forward to ask was pushed away by the blood knight and stopped outside. He glanced at the sturdy blood knight, everyone wearing face armor, and looked a little panicked and said, "
This guest is not allowed to come or go at will in the back mountain!"
"It doesn't matter," Luo Chuan waved his hand to signal the blood knight not to embarrass the little Taoist priest, and smiled at him gently, "I'm waiting for someone here. Don't worry, little Taoist priest, we won't trespass."
The little Taoist priest felt a little relieved after seeing the handsome features and gentle tone of the young man who made the decision, but he still dragged his broom backwards and followed everyone.
Luo Chuan ignored him and just walked to the edge of the back square, slapped his hands on the railing, looked down at the cliff and then looked up at the cliff peak in the distance!
That mountain within a mountain is much higher than the top of this mountain!
On the top of the snow-capped mountains, a golden-domed hall glowed golden under the sunlight, against the blue sky and the surrounding clouds and mist, giving it a sacred atmosphere.
"Living in a place like this..." Luochuan murmured to himself, "It's too inconvenient..."
Just as he was speaking, a blue light flew from the golden dome.
