The Penglai Conference was initiated by Penglai Island five years ago.
The venue is Jingfa Temple.
Jingfa Temple was once the royal temple of the original Western Jin Dynasty, and it was already famous.
As for this conference, although it is said to be a conference, it is actually very simple and crude. It can be summed up in two words, that is "fighting".
One person versus one person, one person versus many people, and the five people standing at the end can go to Penglai Island.
As for why Penglai Island is so desirable, there are two reasons.
Ten years ago, it was rumored that the Grand Master of the Four Kingdoms came from Penglai. If you want to ask how long the title of Grand Master has been around, no one can really tell. This led to rumors that the Grand Master was immortal. Since the Grand Master was immortal,
Coming from Penglai, does that mean that there is a real method of immortality in Penglai Island?
There are a lot of gossips in the world. Before that, the emperors of various countries were inquiring about Penglai secretly. This made everyone more sure that those who entered Penglai would have a chance to live forever. As for those who entered but did not live forever, everyone would
It comes down to bad luck.
The second reason is that in the past five years, although half of the twenty people who entered Penglai Island died unexpectedly, half of them changed their lives and lived a prosperous life.
Most of the people who participated went for the second reason. After all, immortality is too illusory. If you live in poverty, even if you live forever, it is not suffering. It is better to pursue something real, such as wealth, such as
Power.
People attending the Penglai Conference flocked to the competition, but not many people could actually stand on the competition stage.
The Penglai Conference consists of two examinations, the literary examination and the martial arts examination.
Most of the people who wander around the world are old and rough, and they don't know a few Chinese characters. And even if some people know a few words, they are just acquaintances. If you really want to tell the truth, most of them stumble and fail to say a single word. This is not true.
, another group of people were eliminated, so there are not many people who can actually stand in the ring.
Unexpectedly, the owner of Penglai Island is actually a cultural person who likes to read.
Su Jiu walked up the steps to Jingfa Temple. Since the Western Jin Dynasty was adopted as a foreign state, Jingfa Temple has been fully open to the public. Jingfa Temple was originally an imperial temple. Even if they don't worship Buddha sincerely, most people still hold it in their arms.
I came to check it out because I wanted to find out. After all, this is a former royal temple. You might be able to meet a few dignitaries and get lucky.
Therefore, the incense in Johoji Temple is still prosperous, but in late August, Johobo Temple will not be open to the public for the Penglai Conference.
Only people from the martial arts world are accepted, and a checkpoint is set up at the mountain gate. In other words, people from the martial arts world come up through the steps and have to walk thousands of steps to get to the mountain gate. They have to take an exam first and pass it.
If you can't pass through the mountain gate, I'm sorry and say goodbye. You can only go back the way you came.
Therefore, it is best to weigh your own strength before going up the mountain, otherwise you will be tired when the time comes. Su Jiu must weigh his strength. Why is this mountain so high?
Su Jiu looked at the almost endless stairs in front of her and sighed. There wasn't even a stone on the roadside to rest on. A few days ago, it happened to rain lightly and the road was still a little wet. If she just sat down on it,
It will definitely stain your clothes.
Fortunately, there were many people going up the mountain around. Su Jiu stopped to rest for a while, followed a group of people and listened to a few people chatting, and then went up to the mountain gate.
Standing at the gate of the mountain gate was a little boy wearing monk's robes. He looked about twelve or thirteen years old. His head was shiny and his eyebrows were a little red. He looked like a hairless New Year painting doll in New Year paintings. He was cute and kind, with his hands clasped together.
There was a sense of déjà vu as a villain pretending to be an adult, of course, that is if Su Jiu had not seen the scene of him throwing a big man down the mountain who wanted to force his way in.
With this move, everyone who was already exhausted couldn't help but shudder. Suddenly their fatigue disappeared, and the eyes they looked at the doorman immediately turned into respect.
In fact, this level is not difficult at all. Su Jiu drew the annotations of Yi Yao Jing. This was the first book that Wuming forced her to memorize. It was not too professional for Su Jiu.
The doorman handed a bamboo slip to Su Jiu and made a gesture of inviting Su Jiu inside, "Female guest, please enter and turn right."
Su Jiu took it and thanked her.
Jōhoji Temple is not like traditional temples that do not accept female guests. Instead, it has renovated separate rooms for male and female guests.
Su Jiu followed the landmarks and the prompts on the bamboo slips and came to her private room. The private room was not big, even worse than an inn. The entire area was almost reduced in proportion. However, although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs. Su Jiu sat at the table and collapsed.
After a glass of water, I rubbed my sore calves and began to miss the hot springs on Qingwu Mountain. I didn’t know what the little old man was doing now.
The monks were not allowed to enter the women's area. In the end, the doorman carried the lunch box to the lobby where the women gathered. After giving some brief instructions, he hurriedly left. Su Jiu sat in the corner, and she could clearly see the little doorman who was calm and unfazed.
After being teased by a guest from the Hehuan Sect, he ran away with his ears red.
Most of the people who can enter Jingfa Temple are those who have a chance to pass the literary test. Of course, the exceptions may be attributed to luck. After all, no one is perfect. If you happen to be drawn, you have never been exposed to it.
For this question, I can only spread my hands and accept my fate.
There was a woman from Alfalfa Palace who also entered Jingfa Temple. She was not Jasmine, but she was the quietest woman along the way. It can be seen that Jasmine and the other woman had not had much contact with books.
Su Jiu changed her outfit again, wearing simple clothes. She darkened her skin color several degrees and added a few freckles on her face. This time, the things she used were non-toxic and could last for several days, even if she was wet with water every day.
It will not damage your makeup and can only be removed with special medicated powder.
This is the trick the old man taught her. When you go out, you must be on guard against others.
No matter how high Su Jiu's martial arts skills are, he can't beat four hands with two fists.
Because of this method, Su Jiu's journey was very smooth after she separated from Alfalfa Palace.
Perhaps Su Jiu was too tired from climbing mountains during the day, and Su Jiu, who usually needed alcohol to fall asleep, rarely fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
It was not until nightfall that the sound of feet stepping on rubble suddenly came from above her head, and Su Jiu suddenly woke up. She stared at the top of her head with her almond-shaped eyes and touched the sword placed beside her.
Moonlight poured into the house through the wooden windows. Su Jiu had excellent night vision. After holding her breath and listening for a while, she concluded that there seemed to be two groups of people passing by on the roof. As for whether the two groups of people were related to each other, she didn't know. After all,
It is a matter of longevity, and it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate.
Su Jiu stood up and gently opened the door, raised her head and looked around for a while, raised her sword and used Qing Gong to fly towards the southeast corner.
Soon, Su Jiu met one of them.
The man was wearing black clothes and was masked. His body was nearly seven or eight feet long and slightly thin. He was standing on the roof of a room, leaning over and looking down, as if he was inspecting the people in the room.
Condition.
Su Jiu was only one meter away from him, hiding in a corner, blending perfectly with the night. Before coming, she specifically looked at the name of the small courtyard - Luoyingyuan.
A very elegant name, it is hard to imagine that it is in the small courtyard of the temple itself.
I just don’t know who lives in this courtyard.
The target of the man in black is very clear, that is, the people living in the courtyard.
The abbot of Jingfa Temple is named Jie Chi. It is said that he is the youngest abbot since the founding of Jingfa Temple. He became the abbot when he was only thirty years old. However, he has always been a reclusive person and few people have seen his true appearance.
I just don’t know if the person living in this small courtyard is the legendary Jie Chi. After all, it is rumored that the only person in Jingfa Temple who has contact with Penglai Island is the abbot, which makes people doubt that he
Does he know some secrets related to Penglai Island, or is he a native of Penglai Island? After all, his experience itself is quite bizarre.
There are even more outrageous rumors, saying that Jie Chi once had a lover before he escaped into Buddhism, but he could not be with his lover due to worldly relationships. This is why the name Jie Chi came to be, Jie Chi, Jie Chi
Infatuation, quit infatuation.
Su Jiu looked at it for a long time and felt that the man in black looked good at Qinggong, but he didn't seem very smart and kept sticking his butt out.
Just then, a strong wind came from the air, and another person came.
The man in black also noticed the arrival, turned over and hid in the corner opposite Su Jiu, and was only two trees away from Su Jiu. Whenever Su Jiu's breathing was that heavy, the man in black would hear it, and Su Jiu couldn't help but
He breathed more lightly, but there was a faint scent of medicine coming from the wings of his nose. This person also knows how to make medicine?
The visitor had a clear goal and went straight to the master of Luoyingyuan.
