After leaving Youjiao Port, the three brothers, who were like thieves, quietly crossed the mountains and ridges. After getting away from the mountains that stretched across the mountains, they found their mounts and ran all the way.
A man has two legs, a horse has four legs, and he travels through mountains and rivers...
Kunling Mountain is located in the southern part of the territory of Yin State. It is a land of beautiful mountains and rivers. It has thousands of peaks and ridges, beautiful bells and bells, and a myriad of atmospheres. Its original name is Qianling Mountain. After the cave of the Immortal Mansion in the Underworld opened, the demon world immediately sanctified the place, and called the holy place Qianliu Mountain. In order to avoid
The name was taboo, so it was renamed Kunling Mountain.
After cultivators who were good at cultivating spiritual objects in the spiritual world occupied this place and established a sect, Kunling Mountain became not only the name of the mountain, but also the name of the sect.
Kunling Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years and is the world's largest spiritual plant sect, enduring for a long time!
The Chaoyang Conference is held every 20 years and has been held for 107 times. The Kunlingshan family has occupied ten of them. One can imagine the reputation of the No. 1 Lingzhi sect in the world.
Today, the 108th session has settled in Kunling Mountain again.
The conference was about to start, and the reputation of the sect was related. The whole sect did not dare to make any mistakes, and had already prepared half a year in advance.
Such a grand event, it is said that even the Emperor of Yin might come to witness the grand event.
This kind of situation has not happened before. Six of the Chaoyang Conferences organized by Kunling Mountain have been attended by successive emperors of the Yin Kingdom. However, this is the first time Kunling Mountain has held it since His Majesty the current emperor ascended the throne.
Whether or not the Emperor can be invited to come and support him, in the eyes of outsiders, and even in the eyes of Kunling Mountain's own people, is regarded as the attitude of the Yin State towards Kunling Mountain.
Although the thousand-year-old sect has enjoyed great success, it actually has its own difficulties. The royal family will both win over and suppress them to some extent.
More importantly, a large part of the reason why the current emperor's power is extremely strong is that he has a very good relationship with the commander in charge of the "Daye Division". Among them is the reason why the queen is included, because the queen is the junior sister in charge of the commander.
For this reason, the emperor named the commander "Dishi", which means the master of the earth!
What’s interesting is that the supreme leader in the spiritual world of Jin Kingdom, who was named the “Mother of the Earth” by the imperial court of the Kingdom of Jin, is also the junior sister of the “Earth Master”.
In other words, Earth Master, Earth Mother and the Queen of Yin Kingdom were originally brothers and sisters of the same discipline, but now the regions are distinct and the hostility is obvious.
In other words, as long as Kunling Mountain can invite the emperor to this grand gathering, the queen may come with her, and she may even invite the Earth Master.
It is said that Kunling Mountain spent a lot of money to win the right to host this grand event, and the leader had already expressed his invitation to His Majesty the Emperor many times.
As for whether the emperor will come all the way, it is unknown to the outside world, but the imperial court's 300,000 troops have already been deployed outside Kunling Mountain to assist this conference.
I heard the chattering comments of others.
The three brothers, Yu Qing, were sitting at a roadside tea stall, slowly drinking tea and chewing snacks, while listening to various discussions with their ears raised.
They were currently in a small town near Kunling Mountain.
The town also showed a rare liveliness. The garrison and all kinds of foreign visitors gathered together, and the crowds were mixed. Many resources were also gathered here. The merchants in the town made a lot of money, and the people in the town and nearby
The villagers also enjoyed a short period of time without worries about food and clothing.
The three brothers were calm and leisurely along the way. There was only one month left before the start of the conference.
People who want to attend the conference can actually sign up now.
Heroes from all over the world go to Kunling Mountain. The journeys are long and short, and it is inevitable to arrive early. Kunling Mountain allows registration one month in advance as a way of hospitality. After registration, Kunling Mountain will make appropriate arrangements for the guests' food and accommodation.
.
The three brothers were not in a hurry to sign up. They came here slowly, just to find out more about the situation. Without any preparation, they just wanted to dive into the world's largest sect and get into trouble. That would definitely not be appropriate.
Of course, there is another advantage to taking your time, that is, you can save a lot of money.
Secondly, they haven't figured out how to sneak into Kunling Mountain yet.
They don't dare to use their real identities when they sign up normally. Nowadays, they are a little self-aware. They know that they are not very capable, but their reputation is not small. As soon as they use their real identities, they will be targeted immediately. It is a trivial matter to get into trouble.
Worried about being killed.
After all, both Chaloshan and Kunlingshan are in Lingzhi's circle. Who knows if anyone from Chaloshan will come this time.
If you make up a random identity to get in, you won’t dare to sign up too early, for fear that the organizer will have enough time to find out there is something wrong with their identity.
In fact, what they discovered along the way frightened them a bit.
This kind of conference is far more eye-catching than they imagined. Even the emperor may come. Naturally, the intensity of identification of the participants is beyond their imagination. With the touch of an empire, no matter what they say they are
No matter where you come from, you must lie about your place of origin, otherwise you will be easily detected.
So after much deliberation, they still tended to sneak in as a handyman.
I heard that during the conference, some people are allowed to enter as handymen. First of all, the scale of the conference is too large, and no matter how big the sect is, there are not enough manpower, so some external help is really needed.
Secondly, there are also practitioners who do not sign up or participate in the competition and want to go in to watch the grand event and the competition.
This is also a common practice. After all, there are many large and small cultivation sects, and there are too many people who go to the organizer to say hello and go through the back door. Instead of offending too many people by refusing, it is better to set rules.
In order for the conference to be held stably, those who can come in to do odd jobs are generally disciples of various sects, which means they have the sect as a guarantee.
There are also non-sect disciples who can enter, so they must have a very strong guarantee.
At this time, the three brothers and sisters who were sitting on the roadside drinking tea stared at a bearded man across the street who was about five years old and not tall.
I saw the man burped after eating and drinking, wiped his greasy mouth, threw a piece of silver on the table, and said in a loud voice, "No need to look for it."
Amid the store's repeated thanks, the man stood up with a full stomach, then clasped his hands behind his back and strolled away humming a tune on the street of the town.
Nanzhu immediately signaled to Yu Qing the silver nuggets that the store had taken away, and whispered: "Did you see it? It's a generous move."
Yu Qing also asked in a low voice: "How can anyone blatantly say on the street that he has the connections to get people into the 'Chaoyang Conference'? Are you sure you are not a liar?"
The person they were following was accidentally discovered, named Cao Wei. They heard him bragging to others, saying that he had the connections to get people into the "Chaoyang Conference" and that his uncle was the leader of the "Zhengyang Sect", so he came forward to follow him.
The "Zhengyang Sect" said hello and guaranteed that there would be no problem in ordering people to enter the "Chaoyang Conference" to watch the fun.
Of course, people can't help for free, they have to pay for it.
Nanzhudun chuckled, "You don't understand this, right? If someone does this kind of thing secretly, it would be suspicious. Where do you see this place? Who dares to do this kind of thing openly? I'm so impatient.
It's almost the same. Old Fifteen, when it comes to this kind of martial arts experience, if you don't like to hear it, you are really not as good as me, you are still a little green."
Of course Yu Qing didn't like hearing it, and his face immediately darkened, "It's nothing to do with experience. If it's suspicious, it's just suspicious."
Nanzhu reached out and patted the back of his hand that was placed on the table, and said with a smile: "I know you don't like to hear it, don't be anxious, just be patient and don't be impatient. Who am I? I'm not someone who can easily jump into a pit.
I'm not fooling around these days, I've already kept a close eye on him, guess who he associates with on weekdays?"
Yu Qing didn't answer and waited quietly, knowing that he would take the initiative.
Sure enough, Nanzhu asked and answered: "The commander of the garrison camp outside the town is very friendly with him. I have seen him enter and exit the garrison camp at will several times. Can such a person be a liar? In addition, he thinks like us.
Those who went in, I saw with my own eyes that he sent two groups into Kunling Mountain without any obstruction. Also, I found out that there is indeed a 'Zhengyang Sect' in the Yin Kingdom, and the sect is quite large."
Compared with the previous two discoveries, it is not important whether the Zhengyang sect is not the Zhengyang sect. What is important is that they can achieve their goals.
Yu Qing's expression softened, he glanced at Cao Wei's already wandering back, and tilted his head to indicate that he should follow.
After throwing away the tea money, the three of them got up one after another and walked quickly to the other end of the street in the town as the store owner said, "Guests, please take your time."
Hurrying quickly, I finally caught up with the wandering Cao Wei.
Nanzhu quickly took a few steps forward, approached Cao Wei and whispered a few words to him. Cao Wei immediately looked around, and then followed Nanzhu into a side alley. Nanzhu shot Yu Qing and Mu Ao at the same time.
He waved and welcomed the two of them into the alley.
Cao Wei looked at the three of them up and down, put his hands behind his hands and hummed: "It's a good thing to enter the 'Chaoyang Conference' to broaden your horizons, but I don't know if you know the market?"
Nanzhu cupped his hands and smiled, "I came to you because I didn't know. I heard that you have a solution. Please tell me what the market is like."
Cao Wei looked at people with noses and noses, "Thirty thousand taels per person, pay a deposit of ten thousand in advance, and then pay the other twenty thousand after delivery. No bargaining, no credit."
That's 90,000 taels. Look at me and you, the three brothers, but they don't want to pay this money.
"What are you doing if you don't want to give up money? It's a waste of my time."
Cao Wei said disdainfully, turned around and left.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Nanzhu quickly stopped him, and then looked at Yu Qing with Mu Aotie. Everyone knew what he meant.
Yu Qing suddenly looked a little ugly, but he was the leader, and he was the one who caused the two people to be harmed by Diquan. Finally, he reached into his clothes and took out 30,000 taels of silver notes. When Cao Wei stretched out his hand, he
He shrank back, "What's the guarantee? I gave you the money, what if you don't accept it?"
Cao Wei suddenly darkened his face, "Are you fucking sick? There is no guarantee for this matter, no receipt will be issued, and no evidence will be left. If things can work out, they will work out. If they don't work out, I will fight or suffer. There is no way.
Refund the money. If you believe, you will be given money. If you don’t believe, you will be pulled down."
The other party's toughness made Yu Qing feel relieved. In addition, Nan Zhu pulled his sleeves to hint that Yu Qing finally gave the money to the other party.
After getting the money, Cao Wei's face looked better, and he hummed: "Don't worry, we still have a bottom line for using money to do things. Let's go to the garrison camp outside the town to clear up the relationship. The entire perimeter of Kunling Mountain has been put under martial law by the imperial troops.
It won’t work unless it is unblocked.” He waved the banknote in his hand to express his intention.
Then he said: "Let's meet at the south entrance outside the town in the evening. If nothing happens, I will send you to Kunling Mountain in the evening."
After saying that, he stuffed the money into his sleeves, turned around and left.
That was 30,000 taels of silver. How could the three brothers and fellow apprentices trust others to take it away, so they followed quietly in the end.
Fortunately, Cao Wei seemed to have kept his promise, and actually went straight to the army station with swords and guns outside the city. As Nanzhu said, he just said hello to the guards and went in. It seemed that the route was indeed unusual.
In the central military tent, on the host's seat, the guest and the host changed positions. A eunuch with gray hair on his temples and a brocade robe was sitting upright, drinking tea, with a solemn air on his wrinkled face.
The military commander who commanded this place instead stood down with his hands tied.
There was an announcement outside the tent, and Cao Wei, who looked like a man with a bag of wine and rice, entered with a new look. He glanced at the person sitting on the seat in surprise. He didn't recognize him, but he knew it was something special. He quickly lowered his head, walked to the commander, and offered it to the commander with both hands.
Banknote, report: "Three more are coming."
The commander tilted his head and signaled to the lieutenant, "Go down and handle it yourself, and be quiet."
So the deputy general and Cao Wei both retreated.
The chief eunuch put down his tea cup and asked lightly, "What's going on?"
The commander hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Governor, in accordance with your wishes, we will purge those with evil intentions from the outskirts of Kunling Mountain. Three more people have thrown themselves into the trap and are going to be tortured and interrogated."
The eunuch nodded slightly.
The commander raised his head again and tried to ask, "Could it be that His Majesty will come in person?"
The eunuch immediately glanced at him coldly, "Is this what you can ask? Regardless of whether it will come or not, the Holy Will will make its own decision. All you have to do is try your best to clear the surrounding areas to prepare."
"Yes." The commander bowed and accepted the order.
