Chapter 518 Cold-faced Danjun
The stone steps are continuous, connecting the mountains, winding like a stone dragon, stretching to the deepest part.
Following a stone path, Qin Ming took Zhou Qing up to a high mountain located outside.
The flowers are blooming, the ancient pines welcome guests, and the waterfalls flow. It is a beautiful scenery.
“This is Cyclamen Peak. Generally, if someone comes to visit, they will be placed here.”
"The seventy-two peaks connected in front and behind, gathered in groups, are the seventy-two outer peaks of Xuandu. They are the places where the outer disciples, outer deacons and elders live."
Zhou Qing looked at Xiang Qin Ming said that each of the seventy-two outer peaks is extremely tall and majestic, with countless stone houses and palaces on them.
“Seventy-two of such peaks are used to accommodate outer disciples?”
Zhou Qing was stunned, “The number of outer disciples in Xuandu Temple must be too many. "
Qin Ming smiled, "Xuandu Temple recruits disciples every year, and most of them can only stay in the outer sect throughout their lives. Over time, there will naturally be a lot of them. "
"If you can no longer make progress after staying in the outer sect for a certain period of time, then you have two options. One is to leave Xuandu Temple, and the other is to stay and be responsible for various chores."
"If you choose the second path, then they are no longer outer disciples, but become business disciples, who specialize in doing things under the hands of deacons. Although outer disciples also have sect tasks to perform, they can spend more time on cultivation. Available disciples That’s the other way around.”
“So the disciples of the seventy-two outer peaks are not all of the outer sect of Xuandu Temple, and the number of business disciples will be even greater.”
"Waiting for you to be promoted to True Successor, After you open a peak, you can also apply for a group of business disciples from the temple to handle various chores on the Zhenzhuan Peak.”
For such a large Xuandu Temple to operate normally, it requires manpower to handle all aspects. reason.
Not to mention other things, just the most basic sanitary environment. With so many mountains, I don’t know how many people are needed to take care of it every day.
And these continuous mountains are huge and can be managed by manpower. Compared with Taoist formations, the cost is undoubtedly cheaper...
These mysterious mountains are also real. Crowds of people.
“The seventy-two outer peaks go deeper, and the thirty-six neighboring peaks are the inner peaks, for the inner sect disciples, inner sect deacons, and elders to live.”
< br>"The inner disciples can practice in Xuandu Temple for a longer period of time, so although there are not many disciples who can be promoted to the inner disciples every year, there will be quite a few as time goes by."
"As for the various true peaks, they are scattered all over Xuandu Temple, and there is no fixed area."
"These are the main areas where Xuandu disciples live, but they are actually only the areas where Xuandu disciples live. In one corner, there are many peaks, each with their own functions.”
“Like planting and cultivating medicinal materials. There is more than one mountain peak, there is also a large area of flat spiritual land, and there are also beast peaks..."
"You will understand these after you spend a long time in Xuandu."
While talking, the two of them followed the stone steps to the mountainside of Cyclone Peak. There was a large flat square here with continuous palaces.
Qin Ming took Zhou Qing into a palace in the middle. It looked like a reception hall with people busy inside.
Seeing Qin Ming's arrival, the people inside immediately saluted and called him Elder Qin.
Zhou Qing was a little surprised. He found that there seemed to be many people who knew Qin Ming.
Is every elder in Xuandu Temple well-known, or is Qin Ming more famous among the elders?
You know, Qin Ming has been in Tianzhou for more than twenty years.
Under Qin Ming's orders, Zhou Qing was settled in Xianke Peak, where he had a very good place to rest.
To be precise, the places on Xianke Peak that are provided to people outside Xuandu Temple are quite good.
"On Xianke Peak, except for the residences of other guests, you can go anywhere else."
Qin Ming said to Zhou Qing: "I will go to Shuiyue Peak now. Check the situation and wait for me to come back."
"Okay."
Qin Ming left in a hurry, looking very anxious, even more anxious than Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing didn’t quite understand, but he had no intention of delving into it.
After looking at the residence, Zhou Qing walked out, planning to take a walk around here.
Seventy-two outer peaks, thirty-six inner peaks...
Thinking about Qin Ming’s introduction and what he saw and heard here, Zhou Qing secretly sighed, he is indeed a top Taoist priest. , the state religion of Daqi.
What he glimpsed was just the tip of the iceberg in Xuandu Temple, but just the tip of the iceberg was incomparable to the power he had seen before.
Like the Dong family in Zhongtian City, he has also been there, but compared to the Xuanfa Mountains, the difference between the Dong family and the Xuanfa Mountains is simply the difference between a capital and a mountain village.
As for the Huang family in Tianyue City, it is simply a toilet.
The current Holy Land of Montenegro is far inferior to this one.
Not only is the gap in strength, it is also a gap in Cave Heaven and Paradise.
Xuanfa Mountain is the top cave heaven paradise in the world, and there are only a few who can compare with it.
While wandering on Xianke Peak, I could occasionally see some Xuandu disciples, but for Zhou Qing, a stranger, no one did anything to him.
The stranger who can move here must be a "fairy guest".
After a while, Zhou Qing came to a rather strange place on Xianke Peak.
The rocks here protrude outward, and they look like a human arm, with the front end also shaped like a palm.
One "arm" is stretched out, as if greeting guests, which looks very interesting.
Zhou Qing looked interesting and walked towards the front of the stone arm, and then walked to the thumb position.
This place is not small, it can accommodate three or five people, and the cold wind rustles, making people's robes rustle.
Looking down, it was empty. It was probably a thousand feet high from the ground. At this height and in this environment, an ordinary person would already have weak legs at this position, and even his eyes would go dark and he would faint. .
It’s so scary.
Speaking of which, Zhou Qing was also a little afraid of heights in his previous life. When he stood on a high-rise building and looked out through the window, he would subconsciously hold on to something, but he only dared to take a glance and did not dare to look more.
But now...
He himself can already fly, and has flown more than once, and he is still afraid of being as tall as a hair.
On the contrary, Zhou Qing felt quite comfortable in this position at this time, with a wide view and refreshing sky.
Suddenly, Zhou Qing heard a faint exchange of sounds behind him, and the sound gradually became louder.
He turned around and saw several people walking out of the forest.
"Sister Lin, do you think we can see those seniors?"
"The Han family has contacts with many seniors in the temple. Who are you...?!"< br>
The communication was suddenly interrupted because the visitor also saw Zhou Qing.
The visitors were two men and two women, all young people. One of them was wearing the clothes of a Xuandu disciple, while the other three were not.
When the Xuandu disciples saw Zhou Qing and combined with his clothes, they probably understood that Zhou Qing was a visitor to Xuandu.
She said: "I have disturbed the guests, please don't blame them."
Zhou Qing shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.
This is not his territory, everyone can come, there is no need to disturb him.
But since people came, Zhou Qing didn't stay here longer, turned around and left.
"My father's situation is very urgent now. I really..."
The communication behind him continued, but it stopped abruptly as Zhou Qing moved away.
He returned to the outside of the residence arranged for him by Xianke Peak, looking at the Xuanfa Mountains from the square.
This is where I will stay for a long time. I don’t know what the rest of my life will be like.
Later, the four people Zhou Qing had just met at Stone Arm appeared again, and they lived not far from Zhou Qing.
Qin Ming didn't let Zhou Qing wait long, and he came back soon.
“Let’s go to Shuiyue Peak.”
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he also saw the four people. Among them, the Xuandu Temple disciple immediately saluted him.
Qin Ming looked at her with a slight impression and said, "Are you the daughter of Junior Brother Lin from Huaiyuan Peak?"
The female disciple nodded quickly, Qin Ming waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want."
Then Qin Ming turned around and left. Zhou Qing followed him and asked curiously:
"Uncle Qin, why do you feel that so many Xuandu disciples know you?"
Qin Mingxiao He smiled and replied: "There are not many disciples. Disciple Shoushan knows me because I came back every year in the past few years, so I am naturally familiar with it."
“The disciples of Xianke Peak know me because I was responsible for the affairs of Xianke Peak for a period of time before going to Tianzhou. Even when I came back a few years ago, I would come to Xianke Peak. Here."
"Compared with some elders in the temple, I appear more frequently."
"That's it." Zhou Qing nodded and asked: "How is the situation of Master Shuiyue Peak?"
"I didn't see Master Shuiyue. I heard from Senior Sister Luo that Master Shuiyue Uncle is still in seclusion for recuperation, but I told Senior Sister Luo about your arrival. You can go directly to Shuiyue Peak now, Senior Sister Luo is waiting for you."
As he said that, Qin Ming shook himself. The token with the word Shuiyue engraved in his hand means the permission of Shuiyue Peak.
On the way to Shuiyue Peak, Zhou Qing and his two men encountered someone questioning them, then this token could solve the problem.
The four people watched Zhou Qingyuan go, and some of what they said fell into their ears.
The woman surnamed Han asked with bright eyes: "Sister Lin, are these two going to Shuiyue Peak? Is it Shuiyue Peak where Lord Luo Dan is?"
The disciple surnamed Lin recognized her at a glance. Thoughts, he said:
"There is only one Shuiyue Peak in the entire Xuandu Temple, but Shanshan, Shuiyue Peak is not something we can contact, let alone ask that person to take action." Han Shanshan heard this, His eyes dimmed.
“Yes, it’s not certain whether I can hire a venerable alchemist, let alone that alchemist.”
After getting off Xianke Peak, Qin Ming took out another token to activate it, and then he waited quietly.
“Walking to Shuiyue Peak takes too much time.”
Qin Ming said this, which made Zhou Qing a little curious.
If you don’t walk and you don’t fly, is it possible that you still need to get a “Didi”?
Before he could ask, he heard the sound of flapping wings and crows in the sky.
Zhou Qing looked up and saw a huge crane slowly landing in front of the two of them.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Ming stepped onto the crane’s back first and asked Zhou Qing to climb up as well.
"..."
It turns out that it is really a "Didi", but it can fly.
The crane fluttered its wings and flew deep into the Xuanfa Mountains. Then Zhou Qing discovered that there were many mountain peaks that could not clearly see the scenes inside. They were shrouded in mist and could not be peeked into.
Only a few places such as the Seventy-Six Outer Peaks and the Thirty-Six Inner Peaks can be seen clearly.
"In Xuanfa Mountain, if there is no urgent matter, you are not allowed to fly. If you are a true disciple or an elder, you can call the crane to come and fly away on the crane."
Qin Ming saw that Zhou Qing had some feelings for the crane. Curious, he explained:
“This is a spiritual beast cultivated by Xuandu Temple. It is humane, gentle and will not hurt anyone.”
"There is a flying space specially reserved for them above the Xuanfa Mountains."
Zhou Qing didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he could only say two words.
Niubi.
The crane was very fast. After flying over many majestic peaks, its speed slowed down and its height began to decrease.
A mountain with a unique shape appeared in front of Zhou Qing.
The mountain is like a crescent moon, with one side solid and one side empty, and the front and rear ends become narrower as they get closer to the end.
On the other side of the sky, there is a waterfall pouring into the sky, connecting the sky and the earth. The sound of water can be heard from a long distance, really like the Milky Way.
Without Qin Ming's explanation, Zhou Qing knew that this must be Shuiyue Peak, and the peak really lived up to its name.
Qin Ming's voice sounded, "This is Shuiyue Peak, two thousand feet high. The waterfall pouring down from the top of the mountain is also a wonder in Xuandu Temple."
"It's really strange."
Zhou Qing strongly agrees with this statement.
“At night, this scene will be even more amazing.” Qin Ming said with a smile:
“Moonlight grass is planted on Shuiyue Peak. This grass is not a spiritual plant or a precious medicinal material. , it has only one function, it will emit a faint light like moonlight at night. ”
“ At night, the moonlight grass covering Suwol Peak will glow. From a distance, Suwol Peak will really look like a crescent moon. The waterfall will also be illuminated by the moonlight, like a flowing lunar moon. ."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he just thought about it a little and felt that the scene was really magical, magnificent and beautiful.
Ya, so elegant.
If it were in the previous life, then this wonder of Shuiyuefeng would have become popular all over the world. It would not be difficult.
But in this world, it is just a peak inside Xuandu Temple.
As the crane approached, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore was simply deafening.
It is unimaginable how terrifying it would be to have the water of the waterfall pouring down from an altitude of two thousand feet and slap it on the ground.
Hmm...
Won’t this cause a disturbance?
Then Zhou Qing punched himself inside.
Whether to disturb the people or not is also a question that the Shuiyue Peak Master should be concerned about. He is not the Shuiyue Peak Master.
At the foot of Shuiyue Peak, Qin Ming took out some pill-like things from the space ring and fed them to the crane.
The crane chirped happily, swallowed the pills, flapped its wings and left.
It turns out that you have to pay the "car fare"...
"Animal food pills, some small things, are the favorites of the cranes. You can prepare them yourself, or you can wait until you are promoted to the true successor. Then go to Xianhe Peak to get it." Qin Ming smiled and said:
< br>"But be careful, when you make your own, you can't experiment with the cranes. If you eat the cranes badly or eat them to death, then Crane Peak will refuse to serve you in the future."
Zhou Qing nodded, he understood, it was just that he was blocked.
Climbing up the stone steps, Zhou Qing climbed to Shuiyue Peak.
The stone steps on this peak are also different from other places. They are paved with bright white stones the size of pebbles.
From various signs of Shuiyuefeng, Zhou Qing can probably infer that the master of Shuiyuefeng is a very elegant person.
The way up the mountain was very quiet, and he didn’t meet anyone else. However, Qin Ming did not take Zhou Qing directly to the peak. After walking up about three to five hundred meters, he turned directly and followed a horizontal path. away from the path.
Finally, we came to a mountain wall. There was a portal on the smooth stone wall, which was now open.
Walking into the portal, it is not dark and crowded inside. It is actually a palace carved out of the mountain. Although it is simple, it has a large space.
The two walked into a small door on the left. Inside was a stone room, and someone was already sitting in it.
It was a woman, dressed in black, with a cold face, cold and beautiful, but a little unremarkable.
He looks like an ordinary person, and does not show any strong aura.
After Zhou Qing and the others came in, her eyes moved slightly and she looked over.
Those eyes could be called ancient and unwavering, and seemed to have no emotion at all.
"Zhou Qing?"
The woman opened her mouth and introduced herself: "I am Luo Liuli."
"Senior Luo."
Zhou Qing I didn't know how to call her, so I had to call her "Senior", which would definitely not be wrong anyway.
Luo Liuli just looked at him with clear eyes, and then said:
"Since you have come to Xuandu Temple, I will take you to register your name later and officially enter."
Qin Ming said from the side: "Senior Sister Luo, I'll just take Zhou Qing to handle these things."
"No need to bother Junior Brother Qin." Luo Liuli refused, "Junior Brother Qin just returned to the mountain, you can go and do your work."
< br>“……”
Of course Qin Ming could understand what Luo Liuli meant. He was chasing away guests.
Okay, okay, let’s get rid of the grindstone and kill the donkey, right?
"I do still have some things of my own to do. Since Zhou Qing has already arrived in front of Senior Sister Luo, I will leave first."
Qin Ming said to Zhou Qing again: "Contact me if you have anything."
He gave Zhou Qing something to contact him.
After Qin Ming left, only Zhou Qing and Luo Liuli were left in the stone room.
Luo Liuli's expression was still cold, and it did not change because of the expulsion.
Zhou Qing was not surprised, nor did he think that the master of alchemy in the underworld had any objections to him.
He had heard some things about this third senior sister from Lu Qingmo. Luo Liuli was born with a cold temperament, and you wouldn't even see any change in her expression on her face for a year.
Basically, it has always been the same expression, and there seems to be no emotional fluctuation.
He also rarely cares about people and things that have nothing to do with him. If there is nothing to disturb him, he can stay at home by himself, refining alchemy and practicing without showing up for a long time.
Luo Liuli seems to be born with a lot of less emotions, as clear as glass, and is a well-known cold-faced Danjun in Xuandu Temple.
But the relationship between Lu Qingmo and this third senior sister is very good and very close.
Luo Liuli is naturally cold and does not show her emotions, which does not mean that she has no emotions.
On the contrary, if you are really recognized by someone with this kind of temperament, you will get a more reliable and trustworthy friend.
So now the performance of this underworld master is normal, in line with the introduction that Lu Qingmo and Zhou Qing had.
"Master and junior sister are practicing in seclusion. It is unknown when they will be released."
Luo Liuli said: "The Heavenly Saint Soul Resurrection Liquid has been refined, and junior sister is in seclusion to refine the heaven. Holy Resurrection Liquid."
"The Babel Flower that you asked Junior Sister to bring back is also in the hands of the Master. After getting the Babel Flower, the Master immediately went into seclusion and wanted to make a last ditch effort."
Luo Liuli was clear and coherent. , let’s talk about these things one by one.
According to the news from Wang Yuan, this information has not been made public and is sealed within Shuiyue Peak.
Luo Liuli did not wait for Zhou Qing's reply, but continued on by himself:
"Thank you for your help to Master and Junior Sister."
Hmm... Cold Noodles Danjun is also pretty good.
At least there is no mental barrier when saying thank you.
