Chapter 156 Arriving at the Destination and Meeting an Old Friend
Dingyu, Taijizhou, Yifeng City. 【6】【9】【s】【h】【u】【x】【.】【c】【o】【m】
This bustling city in the world, today a swordsman who has been through the dust has arrived.
The swordsman led the donkey through spring and summer, and finally arrived at the final destination as autumn deepened.
He smelled of alcohol and seemed to have just drank a lot. He traveled over the mountains and ridges from Lingtian Continent. Not to mention going through thousands of dangers, at least it was a lot of hard work.
Looking at the big city at this moment, seeing the towering mountain peaks in the city, I feel quite happy. This whole year's journey is about to come to an end.
The swordsman led the donkey and approached the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city made routine inspections and interrogations. When he learned that the purpose of the swordsman's trip was to attend the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit, his pupils shrank and he quickly pulled the swordsman aside. corner.
The soldiers received the secret information that this Summit of Ten Thousand Immortals was a big deal. They were all mysterious martial arts masters who were not to be trifled with. Of course, the superiors also issued a death order. Those who wanted to participate in the Summit of Ten Thousand Immortals had to enter the city gate. You can always choose a mask, and what its meaning is. Naturally, a caretaker like him doesn't know, so he just follows it.
He took the swordsman to a wooden house. The walls were covered with masks of various styles. The swordsman could choose one at will and wear it on his face to enter the city.
The swordsman probably understood that the purpose of this move was to cover his face and avoid conflicts as much as possible. He walked closer, carefully observed the mask, and carefully selected it without being careless at all.
During his selection process, there were soldiers guarding the city, leading a few people here to select masks before entering the city.
The appearance of those people ranged from old to young, and even looked like boys. They were all ascetics, and one look at their appearance showed that they were members of the same Taoism.
They looked at the masks hanging on the wall, but they did not step forward to choose like swordsmen. Instead, they sneered twice, flicked their sleeves, and said, "I'm simply deceiving myself. If I participate in this conference, I still have to cover up." , it’s better not to come!”
After that, a few people turned around and left. They could enter the city without wearing masks.
Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city sighed, feeling helpless.
The swordsman asked curiously: "Are there many people holding masks?"
The soldier said: "Not many. There are less than ten people who are willing to take the mask."
Li Changxiao, who was wearing white clothes with a long sword hanging at his waist, nodded lightly when he heard this, looked at the backs of several people leaving, and began to think deeply.
It's not that these people have too flamboyant personalities, but this mask can block the human eye, but it can't block eye magic, etc. If someone wants to seek revenge, what's the use of wearing this mask? If no one seeks revenge, what is the use of wearing this mask?
And the reason why a few people were angry was mostly because of anger and disappointment. Li Xundao, the leader of the Taoist sect who was the most powerful person in the world, actually came up with such a clumsy method.
Li Changxiao chose a mask and walked into Yifeng City, when all kinds of hawking sounds came to his face.
The red dust is full of energy.
In fact, the roots of Li Xundao, the leader of the Taoist sect, are not in Taijizhou. The reason why he chose this place as the summit place is because there is a "Ten Thousand Immortals Peak". This is a mountain that is almost universally known in the world of Fuyao and is known as one of the top ten peaks in the world. The name of Daxian Mountain makes it convenient for all monks to come.
From the beginning of their practice, monks have formed an indissoluble bond with the "mountain".
This "Yifeng City" is the final destination of the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, and it is a large city in the Great Yan Dynasty.
The Dayan Dynasty was an ordinary mortal court that slowly rose up after the spiritual energy was exhausted. There were several countries around it. Its strength could be considered above average among the mortal countries, but there was nothing special about it.
Although "Yifeng City" belongs to the Dayan Dynasty, it is very different from other towns and has a special status.
······
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are worthy of being the leader of Dao Sect, you are really astonishing!"
Not long after entering the city.
Li Changxiao heard a sigh in his ears.
Follow the sound and look.
The speaker was a middle-aged man, wearing Taoist robes and neat clothes. Just looking at his appearance, he looked a bit like a monk from the Taoist branch.
"Did Fellow Taoist see any mystery?" Li Changxiao asked.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked at Li Changxiao, bowed his hands politely, and said, "Of course."
"Before I came to this peak city, I made a special trip to several nearby cities."
"I have heard many secrets. Now that I step into this Yifeng City, my heart suddenly becomes enlightened. I can only sigh that the way of gods and men is incomprehensible. It is already shocking to catch a glimpse of it."
"Oh?" Li Changxiao cast a curious look.
The middle-aged man continued: "Look at the Ten Thousand Immortals Peak."
"The spiritual energy has been depleted for three hundred years, and yet he can maintain such momentum. There is great knowledge in this."
"You are looking at the people in this city and the bustling market atmosphere."
"The layout here is so wonderful!"
The middle-aged man said again: "The terrain within a few miles is condensed. In addition, as far as I know, no one lived under Wanxian Peak before. Later, people moved and settled here, and then such a big city was gradually formed. What happened here?" , if you think deeply, you will know that it must be the handiwork of the leader of the Dao Sect.”
"Use popularity and terrain to support peaks!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, his expression became more and more excited. With such ability, it might be possible to discover new paths.
When Li Changxiao heard this, he also showed admiration and said in his heart that it was awesome.
…
It was the first time that the little donkey saw so many pedestrians, and his eyes widened. It was a new experience in the world.
It seemed quite excited. It had experienced many strange things along the way, which made it more curious about the world. However, it was timid by nature. It had its eyes on some rare toys, but it kept biting the swordsman's sleeve and dragging him away.
The swordsman had enough money, so he bought a lot of things for the donkey, including a colorful doll. The little donkey liked it very much, but its hooves were clumsy after all. No matter how it fiddled with it, it could not play with the doll as vividly as other children, so it soon became cold.
Its favorite thing was the bamboo windmill it had bought in the town before. When it ran with it in its mouth, the windmill would whirr. Along the way, besides the swordsman, the bamboo windmill was the one that accompanied it the longest.
It was rare to come to this big city, and the swordsman temporarily put aside the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit and other things. Naturally, he had to understand the local customs and habits first.
The first target, of course, was the remote wine alley. This had almost become the swordsman's muscle memory. The swordsman always believed that the folk customs of a place would be integrated into the wine. However, this time, the swordsman was destined to be disappointed. It was not that the wine in this alley was not good, but that the wine was not much different from that drunk elsewhere.
After visiting the wine alley, the swordsman rode the donkey to the vegetable market and bought two radishes. The donkey liked to eat them.
However, in the vegetable market, he actually saw a figure that was quite familiar to him before.
It was a man.
He had huge muscles.
He was a physical cultivator.
And the man also saw Li Changxiao.
His face suddenly became happy.
"Old Li!"
"Don't think that I can't recognize you just because you wear a mask!"
