It is not a beautiful painting, nor is it a famous painting. It is a map. If you look at it carefully, you can see that it is the entire territory of Kunling Mountain.
A few days ago, he was worried because he was unfamiliar with the place. Now that he saw the map, Yu Qing wanted to go in and take a closer look, but it was impossible. The owner was not there, and it was difficult for him to trespass in front of everyone.
Looking back at the group of people around him, Yu Qing moved to Zhan Yunqi and asked, seemingly casually, "Mr. Zhan, didn't you say this is a forbidden area in Kunling Mountain? Why is it so deserted? There seems to be no one there?"
Zhan Yunqi smiled and said: "If it's so lively, it wouldn't be called a forbidden area."
Yu Qing asked curiously: "The forbidden area cannot be left unattended. If so, wouldn't the disciples in the sect be able to come in as they please?"
Zhan Yunqi: "Aren't the guards at the door watching over you?"
Yu Qing immediately pointed around, "What if someone comes over the mountain?"
"Of course there are on-duty disciples guarding the surroundings, otherwise why do you think we have these on-duty rooms?" Zhan Yunqi raised his chin towards the rooms on both sides, and then added, "There are no valuable treasures in this Linggu.
It's just that the spiritual energy gathered under the spirit gathering formation is abundant, which is an excellent place for cultivating spiritual plants. It is designated as a forbidden area to avoid unnecessary interference. Some unique techniques for cultivating spiritual plants are also inconvenient to show to the outside world. That's all.
That’s all, otherwise I wouldn’t let you in for a tour.”
Everyone else understands the implication, that is, there is nothing of value in this forbidden area, and it is not worth the risk for outsiders to sneak in.
Nanzhu and Mu Aotie couldn't help but glance at Yu Qing. The brothers had known each other for many years, so they felt that Old Fifteen's concern was a little bit famous.
While everyone continued to wait, Nanzhu bumped Yu Qing with his elbow while others were not paying attention, and winked at Linggu, "What did you mean by asking just now? Didn't you already come in?"
Yu Qing shrugged indifferently, as if he was asking a casual question. At the same time, he tilted his head in the direction of Baili Xin, reminding him to pay more attention to that woman. He wanted to know what that woman meant?
No need to remind, Nanzhu himself also noticed that Baili Xin did not carry the horned dragon bow behind her back, but kept it in her hand, and her eyes seemed to be always wary of the surroundings. Those who didn't understand her might think that it was okay.
That's what the great archer is like, and those who have been in contact with her for a period of time naturally feel that something is not normal, as if they are about to pull out an arrow and shoot someone at any time.
What made Nanzhu even more disgusted was that Baili Xin always had the feeling of subconsciously leaning towards Yu Qing. In addition, he was holding a bow in his hand to hide his vigilance, making him look like Lao Shiwu's bodyguard.
It also made him dislike Yu Qing. Fortunately, it was clear that Yu Qing had no feelings for Baili, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
But what can he do? At present, he has nothing to do with Baili Xin, and he has no qualifications to criticize her at all. He can only use his eyes to signal Yu Qing not to argue with women.
Yu Qing immediately rolled his eyes.
Just when everyone was wondering how long they had to wait, Lu Youming came back, and with him was a sloppy old man who wore his shoes as slippers. There were weeds in his messy hair, and he didn't know where he had gone.
, his face seemed to have not been washed for a long time, his dirty clothes were dangling from his big sleeves, his eyes were quite bright, and he had a gourd on his waist, which was not as big as Nanzhu's.
The sloppy old man is none other than the person in charge of Kunling Mountain's Linggu, named Yan Yao.
As soon as the visitor arrived, Zhan Yunqi immediately greeted him and said, "Uncle Yan."
Yan Yao hummed, stood in front of everyone, glanced at everyone, turned around and entered the room, and said, "Come one by one."
"Yes." Zhan Yunqi bowed to accept the order, and then said to Ke Ran: "You go first."
"Okay." Keran agreed and followed him into the house first.
In fact, it's nothing else. It's really just registration. This is the rule for entering the Linggu. Even the disciples of Kunling Mountain are no exception. After writing down the identity of the person entering and leaving, they also press the seal pad with their palms and leave a palm print on the page of the album.
After Ke Ran went out, the next one came in, one after another, including Zhan Yun Qi's accompanying disciples, and finally Zhan Yun Qi himself.
After finishing his work, Yan Yao also walked out of the door, waving to Lu Youming to take the guests for a walk, while he himself left in a swaggering manner.
Lu Youming stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to follow him, leading the guests to continue walking along the path.
Before they reached the end of the road between the two mountains, everyone suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed, and their bodies and minds had a light inspiration. They are all practitioners. When they felt this way, they immediately knew what was going on.
Xiao Changdao was already surprised and said, "What a rich spiritual energy!"
Many people nodded in agreement.
However, the richer feeling is still behind. When we reach the end of the road, the view ahead suddenly opens up, and a valley appears in front of everyone.
It is an oval-shaped valley, wide in the middle and narrow at both ends, also like a basin.
There is a light mist floating in the valley.
Under the bright sun, there was still mist floating around. Everyone realized that it was not mist, but spiritual energy so rich that it was visible to the naked eye, and they all couldn't help but marvel.
Lu Youming, who was watching, smiled slightly and liked to see the visitor look like a countryman who had never seen the world.
At their feet were steps going down to the bottom of the valley again, and the group walked down again under his guidance.
As we walked into the valley, we encountered all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Some of them were things that the visitors had never seen before. It was an eye-opener as soon as they arrived.
Nanzhu exclaimed: "This Linggu is simply a beautiful garden full of exotic flowers and plants."
Lu Youming smiled and shook his head and said: "These are nothing. In fact, they are just decorations. When guests come occasionally, they can't be too shabby. Putting some flowers and plants is the scenery to welcome the guests. In fact, the biggest function of Linggu is
Accelerate the growth of spiritual plant seedlings. Most of the seedlings planted in Kunling Mountain's spiritual rice come from here. Of course, some exotic flowers and plants are not all for display. Some of them are also for breeding. Keep some seeds on hand to avoid extinction...
"
Everyone nodded as they listened, and as he explained and introduced them all the way, their horizons were opened. The various spiritual plants were dizzying.
There are some huts scattered on the surrounding mountains, all of which are used by the disciples who guard the Spiritual Valley. After all, this kind of place is a forbidden area for the sect, and the method of combining open and hidden sentries is inevitable.
In front of one of the huts, an octogenarian man with snow-white beard, hair and clothes stood with his hands behind his back, looking as if he were in a fairyland. His old appearance, clothes and demeanor really made him look like an old god, looking down at the valley from a high position.
A group of guests entering.
This person's name is Huan Yushan, he is the great elder of Kunling Mountain and the most senior person in Kunling Mountain. When the leader sees him, he must respectfully call him "Uncle".
In Kunling Mountain, his lineage has basically always been responsible for the Linggu.
Yan Yao, who came to him, took out the roster from his sleeves, opened it in place, and then offered it with both hands, "Master, excluding the two disciples of our sect accompanying the guests, including the one named Keran you mentioned, there are a total of nine guests.
.”
There are two masters and apprentices, one is clean and tidy, with extraordinary bearing, and the other is slovenly. It is really a sharp contrast.
Huan Yushan took the roster and flipped through it. After reading it from beginning to end, he frowned.
Yan Yao, who was observing from the sidelines, tried to ask: "Master is here in person. Is there something wrong with these guests?"
Huan Yushan didn't see any problem, and slowly closed the list and handed it back to him, "It's normal to say it's normal, and it's normal to say it's abnormal. It's normal for guests to come to Linggu, but Dayesi intervened to arrange this.
Arranging for such a group of people to visit Linggu is a bit abnormal, so if Secretary Daye bothers to talk to Lan Xuan personally, the identity of these guests may not be as simple as what is registered on the roster."
Yan Yao was thoughtful and immediately asked: "What measures should be taken against them?"
Huan Yushan waved his hand slightly and sighed: "Can we, Kunling Mountain, get involved in Daye Division's affairs? If we are really involved in something we shouldn't be involved in, do you think Daye Division would not dare to end the existence of our thousand-year-old sect?
?Any rash action may be considered by Daye Secretary as my ignorance in Kunling Mountain. Again, it is normal for guests to come to Linggu, but the identity of these visitors is obviously not enough for Xiang Lanxuan to personally intervene in the arrangements."
Yan Yao was surprised and asked: "Master, what you mean is that maybe it's because of the secret?"
Huan Yushan: "The head is worried about this, but he thinks it is unlikely. If Daye Si knew the secret, he would have directly asked about it. There is no need to beat around the bush like this. Also, Xiang Lanxuan has been able to reach this day with her ability.
We must know that such an arrangement would arouse our suspicions. After thinking about it, maybe we are overthinking it, maybe Dayesi really has ulterior motives, maybe something is brewing among these guests, maybe it has something to do with us.
Lingshan has nothing to do with it."
Yan Yao sighed and nodded, knowing very well why the headmaster and the master felt uneasy. The so-called spiritual energy gathering array set up by the ancestors of the past generations in Linggu was pure lies. In fact, it was not that Kunling Mountain's spiritual planters were clever, but
This Linggu is a treasure land with natural spiritual energy.
The reason why there is talk about the grand formation that was put together by the efforts of ancestors of all generations is to cover up the existence of the treasure land.
Once this secret is revealed, the Feng Shui treasure land will naturally be occupied by capable people, and it may bring disaster to Kunling Mountain.
I didn't touch you before because I thought no one else in Kunling Mountain could play this thing without you.
The reason why forbidden areas are occasionally opened to the public is actually a disguised cover-up.
In fact, there is nothing you can do about it. If you cover it too tightly, it will arouse suspicion. The more you cover someone, the more they want to see. This is human nature. The key point is that you can't cover it up. For example, if you open your mouth to Lan Xuan this time, can you not open up?
Therefore, even within Kunling Mountain, there are only a handful of people who have known about this secret throughout the ages, and even the disciples working in the Ling Valley basically don’t know about it...
In the Spiritual Valley, nourished by the abundant spiritual energy, the beauty of the flowers, the greenness of the grass and leaves, and the radiant vitality are beyond words.
When the group walked to two trees in the valley following the introduction of Lu Youming, the three brothers Yu Qing were stunned when they saw it. They quickly looked at the looming disciples of Kunling Mountain around them, and their expressions were a bit panicked.
