Chapter 276 Chapter 275 Cangya Mountain (4,000 words, two chapters
In one chapter)
In the southeast of Wu State, there are mountains stretching for thousands of miles. There are many green pines in the mountains and many cliffs in the forests, so it is named "Cangya".
Cangya Mountain is steep and difficult for ordinary people to reach. Usually, there are very few tourists here all year round. There are only some sporadic hunters or woodcutter who occasionally go up the mountain, but they only dare to climb to the mountainside.
But in fact, Cangya Mountain is not deserted. On the contrary, once you pass the cliff layer in the mountain and go up, you will find that there are many people living in seclusion in this mountain.
It's just that these people are not ordinary mortals, but "immortals" that the farmers at the foot of the mountain talk about.
According to legend, these immortals would occasionally go down the mountain, select some qualified boys and girls from the mortal villages, and bring them up the mountain to serve as domestic slaves. From then on, they would serve the immortal family in their daily lives.
In the eyes of a farmer who has been cultivating the land all his life, this kind of thing can be said to be a step to the sky! How many dignitaries and nobles seek immortality and worship Buddha but are unable to do so, but their own children are lucky enough to stay next to an immortal. Isn't this a blessing gained in the previous life?
At this time, there were two people walking side by side on the mountain road of Cangya Mountain. One of them was a young man with ordinary appearance and dark skin, wearing an inconspicuous coarse linen clothes. The other was a young girl wearing tight clothes.
With her elegant emerald green clothes and delicate baby face, anyone who sees her will fall in love with her from the bottom of their hearts.
It's just that this lovely face is full of tears at the moment.
"Aww, Brother Zhang, it's all my fault! I'm the one who hurt you!" The girl cried while pulling on the boy's sleeves, as if she was a child who had done something wrong.
The swarthy boy sighed softly when he saw this, stopped, turned around, touched the girl's head, and said in a very gentle tone: "Okay, Yun'er, I don't blame you for this, it's only my fault that I'm too weak.
Now I am still at the third level of Qi refining."
"Ugh. Brother Zhang, why don't we compete? Even if they force me, I won't marry that bastard!"
The young man surnamed Zhang gave a bitter smile when he heard this, shook his head and said: "How can you violate the family order? Don't worry, I, Zhang Zhong, will not let you marry Qi Xiu even if I risk my life.
I will definitely marry you!"
After hearing this, the girl's delicate body trembled slightly, and the next moment she fell limply in Zhang Zhong's arms, saying softly: "Brother Zhang, you are so kind to me. Chu Yun is willing to die for you!"
Zhang Zhong touched the girl's head wordlessly, then took her little hand and walked firmly towards the top of the mountain.
Cangya mountain top.
There is an octagonal square pavilion. Four old men are standing inside the pavilion, and a group of young people are standing outside the pavilion.
Most of these young people are on the first to fourth floors of Qi Refining, but there is an open space between the crowd and the square pavilion. In the center of the open space is a young man sitting cross-legged. This young man is wearing a white robe, with an eagle nose and wide lips.
He has a very cold appearance, and his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi training, making him stand out among this group of teenagers.
The four old men in the pavilion were all in their fifties, and their cultivation level was around the eighth level of Qi Refining. At this moment, one of the chubby old men was smiling and said: "This time Butler Xu and Butler Chu can do this."
Notary, Qi would be very grateful!"
"What are you talking about, Butler Qi! This time it is about the marriage of Chu Yun, the concubine of our Chu family. Logically speaking, I, the old man, am also a party to the situation, so there is no reason to refuse!" A bald old man in blue robe said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Qi, you're welcome. Although there are many aristocratic families in our Cangya Mountain, the real leaders are our Qi, Chu, Xu, and Zhang families. We are all in the same spirit. Now the Qi family and the Zhang family are at the same time.
Proposing a marriage to the Chu family, such an interesting event like a martial arts competition to determine a marriage, how could I, Xu, be absent!"
The three old men were chatting and laughing here, but they completely ignored the other old man in the pavilion. The neglected old man had a gray beard and a withered face. He was standing in the corner of the pavilion with a gloomy face.
"Hmph! Make your way to the wind! When the Zhang family was strong and prosperous, everyone was groveling, but now they are all helping them to improve their family!"
Although the old man was muttering in a low voice, the people around him were all at the eighth level of Qi Refining. How could they not hear him at such a close distance?
"Zhang Yuan! What do you mean by this? Could it be that our Xu family owes you something!" The old man surnamed Xu was the first to attack.
"Even if you don't look at the bear-like appearance of your Zhang family, each generation is worse than the last. Now, the only legitimate son of the Zhang family is only at the third level of Qi refining. Look at Qi Xiu, who was born in the same year as him.
We have reached the sixth level of Qi refining, and it’s like the sky and the earth.”
"You two, why do you need to be acquainted with him?" The old man surnamed Qi chuckled at this moment: "That Zhang Chong hasn't come yet, I guess he doesn't dare to keep the appointment. After all, for a boy at the third level of Qi Refining, I'm afraid of my young master.
I couldn't hold back and beat him to death directly, hahaha!"
As soon as the old man surnamed Qi finished speaking, the other two old men also laughed loudly and echoed: "Not bad!"
"Who says I dare not come!"
At this time, a determined voice sounded from the mountain path. Everyone turned their heads after hearing the words, and saw two people walking side by side from the mountain path. One of them was dressed in sackcloth and had a black face. He was the Zhang Zhong mentioned by the old men just now. And the other one was dressed in linen and had a black face.
The girl in green is naturally Chu Yun.
"Yun'er, what nonsense! Why are you walking with this kid, why don't you come here quickly!" the old man surnamed Chu in the pavilion shouted.
"Brother Zhang," Chu Yun looked like she was about to cry without tears, and looked at Zhang Zhong for help.
"Be good! Let's go to your Uncle Chu for now. Trust me, I won't let you down!" Zhang Zhong stretched out his right hand and patted Chu Yun's shoulder, then gently caressed her delicate little face.
He seemed to be wiping the tears from her eyes.
"enough!"
At this time, a loud shout came, but Qi Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged, jumped up.
"Zhang Zhong, put away your dirty hands! Chu Yun is mine, come here and die!"
After hearing this, Zhang Chong ignored Chu Yun and finally hugged Chu Yun gently, then let go of her petite body, turned around and walked into the competition arena.
"Zhang Zhong, you, a loser, want to get your hands on the woman I'm attracted to?" Qi Xiu's face was ashen and he said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, you can only know if she is your woman after a comparison!" Zhang Zhong said with a cold smile.
"Arrogant and ignorant people!"
Qi Xiu was so angry that he suddenly raised a black bone fork and struck Zhang Zhong head-on.
There were gusts of wind blowing above the bone fork. Among the young men watching, the ones with low cultivation levels were only at the first or second level of Qi Refining. At this moment, being disturbed by the wind, they actually felt dizzy and vomiting.
"Demon Corpse Cha, it's Demon Corpse Cha!" Someone in the crowd said in shock.
Someone else commented: "It seems that Qi Xiu was completely angered by Zhang Zhong, and he used his killing move as soon as he used it! With Zhang Zhong's cultivation at the third level of Qi refining, I'm afraid he will be crippled even if he doesn't die!"
There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, but the stage was filled with lightning. The Demonic Corpse Fork was roaring towards him, about to pierce Zhang Zhong's chest. However, Zhang Zhong suddenly burst out with a tyrannical aura, and he made a series of seals with both hands.
, a thick earth wall rose from the ground, actually blocking the black bone fork!
"What! This Zhang Zhong actually has the fifth level of Qi refining!"
"It turns out that he has been hiding his cultivation!"
After this "Earth Wall Technique" was used, the spectators nearby were immediately in an uproar. Even Qi Xiu frowned slightly, but before he could react, a carved dagger suddenly shot out from under his feet. The edge of the dagger was
The green air is billowing, obviously it is highly poisonous!
Puff! There was a sound, and Qi Xiu hurriedly dodged, but was still scratched by the dagger. The poison seeped in instantly, and Qi Xiu's face turned as pale as paper.
At this moment, Zhang Zhong remained silent as he rushed toward Qi Xiu, a long sword in his hand piercing his heart.
"You're such a loser! Do you want to defeat me?!" Qi Xiu was forced to a dead end, but he roared, and black brilliance rose up all over his body.
At this moment, Zhang Zhong, who was thrusting straight with his sword, was hit by the black brilliance. He suddenly spurted blood from his mouth and flew backwards from the air!
"What, this is the black feather amulet owned by the head of the Qi family back then, and it was actually given to Qi Xiu so early!" The onlookers once again burst into exclamation.
"Damn it!" Zhang Zhong, who was knocked away by the black brilliance, looked sluggish, but his eyes were full of unwillingness. "I actually have a black feather amulet, but I didn't expect that I would fall short in the end!"
"Haha. Zhang Zhong! You actually dare to trick me! I want you to die without any body parts!" Qi Xiu gritted his teeth and walked slowly towards Zhang Zhong.
Seeing that Zhang Zhong was about to die, suddenly there was a muffled sound from mid-air, like a thunderous drum beating, deafening and deafening. Then a colorful ray of light fell from the sky, falling impartially on the Octagonal Pavilion.
Boom!
The pavilion was torn apart. The "Cui Feng Pavilion" that was fine a moment ago was now in ruins.
Whoosh!
Four figures jumped out of the pavilion, but the four housekeepers saw that the situation was not good and rushed out of the pavilion early. However, although they saw the situation very quickly and escaped the disaster, Qi Xiu did not.
Not so lucky.
He was originally the one closest to the pavilion among these teenagers. At this moment, he was poisonous and couldn't move easily, so he couldn't hide.
A powerful force came from behind and struck Qi Xiu hard on the back of his heart. Qi Xiu vomited blood, and his whole body was flung out like a kite with broken strings, and fell to the ground and rolled.
He rolled a few times, then rolled his eyes and lost track of this person.
"this"
Faced with this sudden and strange thing, everyone looked at each other in shock. The butler named Qi put his hand between Qi Xiu's nose, and his face turned livid.
At this moment, a few stones suddenly rolled down from the ruins of the bombed pavilion, and then a person jumped out from them.
This man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a straight nose, thin lips, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was wearing an inconspicuous gray dress and was looking around with a suspicious face at the moment.
Although this young man who suddenly appeared was young and his clothes were very ordinary, when everyone in front of him saw it, their expressions changed drastically. They all fell down and fell to the ground without even daring to breathe.
The first four butlers were even more frightened. Only one of them said respectfully: "We really didn't know that senior was here. We have been making a lot of noise before, so please forgive me!"
"Well"
Liang Yan shook his slightly dizzy head and then noticed the people in front of him.
Seeing these people being respectful and walking on thin ice, Liang Yan suddenly felt a little funny. He had just made a breakthrough, and before he had time to control his aura, the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage swept across the surroundings, already overwhelming these Qi Refining monks.
However, his mind was still a little confused at the moment, and he vaguely remembered that he had slain his inner demons in the "Shangjing Yuan Tu" before, and then successfully built the foundation with the help of the "Eternal Mayfly Wood".
It's just that when he was building the foundation, he actually suffered all kinds of torture, including being burned in the earth, being flooded and struck by lightning, and all kinds of hardships. It was as if God didn't want him to succeed in building the foundation.
Especially at the last moment, he actually felt the pressure of the great avenue coming from the sky, trying to suppress him by force. At the last moment, he gritted his teeth and survived, and finally succeeded in building the foundation.
At this moment, Liang Yan felt his body full of power and the surging spiritual power inside his body, which was countless times purer and stronger than before, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.
"I just don't know what kind of foundation I built in the end?"
Liang Yan stood there recalling his previous experiences, but the people in front of him became uneasy. Especially the four old housekeepers at the eighth level of Qi Refining, seeing his silence, they thought he was angry and making plans.
How to deal with yourself.
"Senior, please calm down. We are members of the four major Qi-refining families in Cangya Mountain. If you have any requests, please just give us your orders and we will obey them one by one!" the housekeeper surnamed Chu said tremblingly.
"Four major Qi refining families?" Liang Yan was awakened by this person's words. He came back to his senses again and turned to look at the group of people in front of him.
"What kind of cultivation level are you, the patriarch of your family?" Liang Yan asked casually.
"These" the four of them looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads and replied: "They are all at the peak of Qi refining."
"Yes." Liang Yan nodded. He looked around and saw that all these Qi Refining monks were lying on the ground, with big beads of sweat on their faces. Some of them with lower cultivation levels were even lying on the ground at this moment, mouthing loudly.
Breathing heavily.
"It seems that ordinary Qi Refining monks cannot resist the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage. No wonder this layer of separation is the difference between immortals and mortals in the eyes of ordinary people!"
It should be noted that there are thousands of monks with spiritual roots, but in the end, less than one in ten successfully builds the foundation. Those who fail to build the foundation will only live twenty or thirty years longer than ordinary people.
Liang Yan sighed softly and raised his hand to withdraw his spiritual power. The monks who were lying on the ground relaxed, but their attitude towards Liang Yan became more and more respectful.
"You don't need to be too nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you." Liang Yan smiled lightly and said, "But I am new to this place and I am not very familiar with it. You should answer a few questions first."
"Senior, please ask me a question, and I will answer you as soon as you know it!" the old housekeeper of Siming who started the conversation said respectfully.
