Qiu Zhan blocked our way, so we had to stop the car to take a look.
Although this section of road is remote, it is still broad daylight. I expected that Qiu Zhan would not dare to do anything too extreme to us, so I walked directly to him about two meters away and asked: "Fellow Taoist Qiu Zhan, why are you doing this?"
Block our way."
Qiu Zhan said to me with an indifferent expression: "I know you are going to the Youxian Dao Gate this time, so count me, and my companion Zheng Runxiu, she is also the queen of the Dao Gate of our Northwest Branch!"
The Zheng Runxiu Qiu Zhan was talking about was naturally the woman next to him.
I also glanced over there. He looked like he was in his early twenties, with a ponytail, and two short knife scabbards hanging on his waist. One scabbard had a knife in it, while the other scabbard was empty.
.
Is there any special use for that empty scabbard?
I can't see it yet.
At this time, Qiu Zhan said again: "My companion's name is very interesting. The word "rus" in her name is not beautiful, nor is it beautiful, but rusty. Isn't it very interesting, haha...
"
As he said this, Qiu Zhan actually laughed in front of us. I was stunned on the spot. Did Qiu Zhan stop us just to tell a bad joke?
At this time, Nangong Fancong came over and said: "I heard that the one who loves to tell cold jokes in your Beibei Qiu family is my senior named Qiu. I didn't expect that you also like to tell cold jokes so much. Has this become your Beibei Qiu family?
Is it a family tradition?”
Qiu Zhan stopped laughing and said: "Qiu is my aunt. I was brought up by my aunt since I was a child, so I also learned the essence of some cold jokes, but you seem to be very funny. What was so funny just now,
You don’t even laugh.”
I said: "It's not that our laughing point is high, it's that your laughing point is too low."
After saying that, I realized that Qiu Zhan had taken the topic a bit off track, and quickly asked him: "How did you know that we were going to Youxian Dao Sect, and what was your purpose of going with us."
Qiu Zhan said: "Our Northwest Qiu family is not stupid. That Liu Qingyao from the Youxian Taoist Sect caused great trouble in Penglai Immortal City. Although he has been punished, he said some things that he shouldn't have said, and those words were enough to bring trouble to the entire Youxian Taoist Sect.
The disaster is coming, and the Youxian Dao Sect has indeed done a lot of bad things in recent years, so they must have come to an end."
"We had already guessed that the Lord of the Supernatural would send people to deal with them, but we didn't expect that he would send you."
I asked Qiu Zhan: "What's wrong with us? Among the four of us, there are two strong men with earthly immortal strength."
Qiu Zhan said: "I didn't mean to question your strength, I was just surprised that he would send you here, because you are not in the power circle of the Supernatural Lord at all, but the fact that he asked you to handle this matter now shows a problem!"
I'm curious as to what question to ask.
Qiu Zhan said: "The Lord of the Supernatural is preparing to draw you people into his circle of power. I'm afraid you people will have unlimited future in the supernatural world."
"At the same time, our Qiu family is also aware of one thing, that is, the Youxian Dao Sect cannot be saved, so we will not do stupid things. Instead of covering them up, we might as well take the opportunity to remove this cancer. Our Northwest Branch does not want to spread all over North China.
Following in the footsteps of the branch, we don’t want to give the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance any illusions about being in the northwest branch!”
Qiu Zhan seems to be telling us these words, but in fact he wants us to pass them on to the supernatural master indirectly.
Qiu Zhan seemed very sophisticated when he spoke, but when he told cold jokes, he beamed with joy and seemed very innocent. For a moment, I was a little unsure about what kind of person he was.
Qiu Zhan continued: "I don't know if what I said has convinced you. Do you agree that we and Zheng Runxiu will join you? Haha, Runxiu, I want to laugh when I hear this name, haha...
…”
Qiu Zhan laughed again as he spoke, while Zheng Runxiu next to him had a normal expression, as if he was no longer surprised by Qiu Zhan's behavior.
I turned to Nangong Fan for advice, and Nangong Fan said: "I think it's okay to let him join. After all, he is the leader of the Beibei Qiu family. With him here, Youxian Dao Sect may be more worried about us, and maybe he will
Take the initiative to cooperate with us in dealing with their secrets."
I looked at Hu Jiashu again, and Hu Jiashu nodded.
White Wolf Chai Min had an indifferent expression.
Seeing this, I said: "Okay, you can join us. You should be very familiar with the road over there, so you lead the way and we will follow you."
Qiu Zhan nodded and said, "No problem!"
After that, he and Zheng Runxiu got into the car. They cleared the way in front and we drove behind.
Along the way, Hu Jiashu said, "I've heard before that Qiu Zhan is a bit strange. At first I didn't know why. But after seeing him today, I finally got a taste of it."
For Qiu Zhan's joining, the advantages currently outweigh the disadvantages. If he sincerely helps us, then our case of Youxian Dao Sect will be much easier this time. With Qiu Zhan here, there will definitely be nothing wrong with our visit to Youxian Dao Sect.
obstructive.
Our car drove all the way east, directly to Tianchi National Cultural Village, and then settled here.
Along the way, Qiu Zhan's car didn't drive very fast, so it was getting late when we arrived here, so we stayed here for one night. Of course, Qiu Zhan arranged for food and accommodation.
We can also enjoy the scenery of Tianchi here, and then go to Tiewa Temple.
Tiewa Temple is now a tourist attraction. It has been renovated many times and the address has been slightly changed, but fortunately the name has not changed.
As for the inside, it is no longer the situation where Qiu Chuji and his disciples built Tiewa Temple, and there are no clues for the secret we are looking for.
Going around there is just like taking a walk.
Early the next morning, we did our morning homework, had some breakfast, and started walking along a path deep into the woods to the south.
When we arrived at the southernmost side of Tianchi, we looked for another uninhabited place and began to fly into the air towards the Bogda Sacred Mountain in the southeast.
It didn't take long for us to reach the deep mountains of Bogda. The mountains were covered with snow and towering from a distance. An indescribable power came from the top of the mountain, which made people feel a bit oppressive.
Hu Jiashu was nearby and gave us popular science: "The Bogda Sacred Mountain has a very high status here. In ancient times, when people passed nearby and saw this sacred mountain from a distance, those who rode and dismounted and those who walked had to pay attention, even when they were walking.
When officials pass by here, they must also stop and salute."
I nodded. At this time, I was focusing on looking for somewhere nearby that was moving, so I didn’t listen too carefully.
At this time, Qiu Zhan said to us: "Fellow Daoist Hu is right, so we can no longer fly when we are close to the Bogda Holy Mountain. We have to walk there, and we can fly again after we have passed the Bogda Holy Mountain.
"
As for what Qiu Zhan said, Hu Jiashu, an academic, agreed, and Nangong Fanzong also voted in favor. Although I was a little anxious, I had no choice but to obey public opinion. Since respecting the sacred mountain is the tradition here, we don't want to destroy it.
After landing near the Bogda Mountain, it was more difficult for us to hike forward. It was already winter, and the wind was howling. If we didn't use Taoism to resist the wind and cold, it would be a bit uncomfortable for those cold winds like piercing knives to blow deep into the mountains.
There is no road going east from here, so we can only walk along some relatively flat places. Fortunately, we don't have to climb the Bogda Mountain on foot, otherwise it would be too time-consuming.
We walked for more than a long time before we got a little away from the Bogda Mountains. Qiu Zhan said we could fly, so we continued flying.
There are many smaller lakes and some rivers on the east side of Bogda Mountain. Although it is winter, some lakes are not completely frozen. The clear lake water seems to be embedded in the snow-capped mountains.
Mirror-like.
Flying in the air, I felt relaxed and happy watching it.
Soon we found Ling Dong on a mountain peak near a small lake. There were signs of a barrier there. In fact, there was no need to search, because that was where Qiu Zhan took us, and it was also the destination of our trip.
Immortal Gate.
We stopped next to the lake. Qiu Zhan made a finger and pointed it at the air in front of him. After a while, a mountain road stretching up the mountain appeared in front of us. There were countless steps.
After entering the barrier, Qiu Zhan led us to climb the steps.
I asked curiously: "Why don't you just fly up?"
Qiu Zhan said: "The barrier here restricts flying up the mountain. If you fly up forcibly, it will trigger the defense mechanism of the formation and you will be attacked. This is to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks, so we should go up honestly.
Well, besides, you didn’t start fighting with them this time. If you can make sense, there’s no need to fight, right?”
I also nodded.
If the Youxian Dao Sect can give up cooperation with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and help us deal with the scourge with peace of mind, then we will definitely not fight them for no reason.
We walked up the mountain along the steps. Less than a minute after we walked, a gust of wind suddenly came up, the sky became dark, and in an instant, heavy snow fell from the sky.
Snowflakes fell on the steps and piled up quickly. At this speed, we would have to step on the snow to go up the steps soon, and it would become more and more difficult for us to hike up the mountain.
I always feel that this snow is not a good sign. Our troubles at the Youxian Dao Sect have just begun!
I have a strong feeling that there will be a fierce battle between the Youxianmen here.
Not only will there be a fierce battle, there will even be an indescribable disaster!
What kind of disaster could it be?
Could it be that a disaster has appeared, or that people from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are here to cause trouble?
As I walked, my mood became more and more solemn, and the snowflakes on the steps became thicker and thicker.
At this time, I accidentally looked at Zheng Runxiu, who was carrying two scabbards. Her hands gently touched the empty scabbard. The scabbard seemed to be producing a subtle vibration, and the vibration seemed to wake up
