Chapter 167 Lone Sword Peak
"Senior Brother Xu, if you need anything in the future, you can always come to Luojian Peak to find me!"
Qi Yue and the two senior brothers and sisters got on the flying boat and left together.
Xu Mu waved his hand, turned and walked towards Lone Sword Peak.
"Junior Brother Qi, you should avoid interacting with such people in the future, so as not to delay your cultivation!"
On the flying boat, Senior Brother Fei couldn't help but speak.
"I see!"
Qi Yue nodded without retorting or asking stupidly for the reason.
He is not a three-year-old child, so he naturally understands what the other person means.
However, he had his own criteria for judgment and felt that Xu Mu was not that simple, but neither of them would believe him if he said this, so it would be better not to say it.
…
Xu Mu walked up to Solitary Sword Peak while recalling the news about Solitary Sword Peak.
The title of the master of Gujian Peak is Gufeng Master, a master of the Golden Core stage, and is also well-known in the Tianhe Sect area.
Although the original Solitary Sword Peak was not the most outstanding peak in the Tianhe Sect, it was still ranked in the upper middle.
The reason why it has become the last one now can be traced back to more than thirty years ago.
At that time, Master Gufeng was very high-spirited. He took his Taoist companions and followed the Tianhe Patriarch to participate in the battle to annihilate the Tongyou Sect.
As a result, the Taoist companion died, he was seriously injured, and the road was almost destroyed.
From then on, Master Gufeng became depressed and began to drink to drown his sorrows.
Spiritual wine itself is a luxury product in the cultivation world, and the thing that can make people feel in the golden elixir stage is even more valuable. So in just a few years, Master Gufeng exhausted his savings due to drinking, and even his own magic weapon was worth the price of wine. debt.
Later, he set his sights on Solitary Sword Peak, and moved all of Solitary Sword Peak without a word, and then began to target his disciples. Not only did he deceive the disciples of Solitary Sword Peak, but he also seized the money issued by the sect. resource.
Under normal circumstances, the Tianhe Sect will allocate fixed resources to the Thirty-six Peaks every ten years, and the peak masters will allocate them to provide training for their disciples.
As a result, Master Gufeng exchanged all these resources for wine.
All these things made the entire Gujian Peak full of complaints.
But the sect has nothing to do with Master Gufeng.
After all, a large part of the reason why Master Gufeng is what he is today is because of the Tianhe Sect, and Master Gufeng has made a lot of achievements in the past. If he is severely punished, it will inevitably make the elders of the sect feel chilled.
Finally, after discussion, a compromise was adopted.
Master Gufeng is still the master of Gujian Peak, but his disciples are free to leave and join the other thirty-fifths, and they can enjoy the same treatment after joining.
Originally, the disciples of Gujian Peak were not willing to leave. Although they all complained, after all, after living for so many years, people are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless.
But as time went by, lack of resources and chaotic management soon forced them to make painful choices.
In just a few years, almost all the disciples of Gujian Peak were gone.
If you have a conscience, you will come back occasionally.
Those with a harder heart are no longer willing to mention that they were once from Lone Sword Peak.
Today, there are only a few low-level disciples in the Qi training period left in the entire Gujian Peak.
As for why they didn't leave, Chi Feiyan's intelligence system couldn't find out.
"With my talent, it is fitting that I was sent to Lone Sword Peak!" Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh at himself.
People in the Tianhe Sect saw that his talent had no value in cultivating it, and investing resources was a complete waste.
In a place without resources like Gujian Peak, it is indeed the perfect place.
It not only preserves the rules of Tianhe Sect, but also does not waste any resources.
If compared with the Imperial Palace, Gujian Peak is almost the same as Leng Palace.
Xu Mu walked from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. Along the way, he encountered neither the guardian formation nor the guarding disciples. Except for the occasional chirping of insects and birds, he felt no trace of humanity, just like a barren mountain.
It is hard to imagine that there would be such a desolate place inside a sect like Tianhe Sect.
"It seems that the rumors are true!"
Xu Mu smiled bitterly.
The start this time is really not that difficult.
After bypassing a mountain col, a magnificent palace appeared in front of us. Judging from the layout, this should be a place for disciples to practice, learn and communicate.
At this time, it was also empty and overgrown with weeds. The red paint in the hall was peeling off, and there was moss and green mold everywhere. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground and tables, and there were even spider webs in the corners.
I don't know if the spiders are born with different species or are nourished by spiritual energy. Each of them is as big as a fist.
It is simply unbelievable that such a dilapidated scene appears in a sect that is at its peak.
There is no news about the Tianhe Patriarch's enthronement, and coupled with the newly promoted Nascent Soul stage, one sect with two Nascent Souls can indeed be called its peak.
Xu Mu didn't study these things too much. He found an obviously trodden road in the weeds and continued walking along it.
After bypassing several palaces and passing through several quiet paths, Xu Mu found an area that was obviously inhabited.
These are several exquisitely designed villas. The flowerbeds at the entrance are obviously well-kept and filled with colorful flowers. Not far from the front of the courtyard, there are several spiritual fields. Inside are lush spiritual valleys. Next to the spiritual fields is an orchard. , Xu Mu could see the numerous green fruits hanging on it from a distance, which looked like fruit trees such as peaches and plums.
Xu Mu vaguely saw two figures moving back and forth inside.
When she was considering whether to shout at him, the door to the courtyard opened, and a young man in white clothes who looked to be in his early twenties was arranging his clothes and walking out.
When he saw Xu Mu, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he reacted and smiled awkwardly.
"You should be Junior Brother Xu, right?"
"Xu Da, I've met senior brother!" Xu Mu said with cupped hands.
"My name is Li Heng, you can just call me Second Senior Brother!" Li Heng continued: "I originally wanted to go to the Medicine Hall to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself!"
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for your kindness. I have a friend who happened to be free and dropped me off." Xu Mu explained.
"friend?"
Li Heng was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect Xu Mu to be able to make friends in a situation like this, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"Now that you are here, I will arrange a place for you!"
Li Heng took Xu Mu to a corner courtyard, took out the key from his storage bag and opened the door.
Open the door with a key?
Xu Mu once again felt the desolation of Gujianfeng.
With the foundation of Tianhe Sect, even the courtyard where the new disciples live should be protected by formations.
The door lock in front of you can be easily opened even in the early stage of Qi training, but its defense is not as good as the shanty towns in Baihefang City.
Although Xu Mu complained in his heart, he didn't say much and followed Li Heng into the yard.
The courtyard is in a three-dimensional system, with hanging rooms divided into categories, such as rest rooms, training rooms, alchemy rooms, kitchens, etc. With such a complete layout, it does not look like a place where new disciples live.
"This was originally a place where true disciples could live, but now that there are few people in Gujian Peak, we don't pay so much attention to it. I have already cleaned it for you. See if there is anything missing. I will help you there later. Purchase from the Utensil Hall!"
The Utensil Hall is the part of the Tianhe Sect where disciples buy and sell things.
Xu Mu looked around several houses and found that all kinds of daily necessities were quite complete. The only bad thing was that these items were all old, but fortunately they were relatively clean.
"There is nothing missing! Thank you very much, senior brother!"
"You're welcome!"
Seeing that Xu Mu was so easy to get along with, the smile on Li Heng's face became a little wider.
"I'll take you around to familiarize yourself with the environment. When they come back in the evening, I'll help you finish them one by one!"
"Trouble me, senior brother!"
"We are all senior brothers from now on, don't be so polite all the time!"
After spending half a day, Li Heng took Xu Mu to all the places he could go to in Lone Sword Peak, giving Xu Mu a new understanding of Lone Sword Peak's downfall.
To put it simply, except for the small area where they live, the rest of the area has been abandoned.
Not only were there no basic guardian formations, but even the lowest level spirit gathering formations were dug up and sold for money by Master Gufeng. It is said that he once had the idea of Gujianfeng's spiritual veins, but fortunately, he was discovered in time by the senior officials of Tianhe Sect. However, this also caused the spiritual veins to be damaged and had to be temporarily sealed. This is also the main reason why they can live in the True Disciple Courtyard and people from other peaks do not come to grab the territory.
When the two returned to the other courtyard, it was already evening, and two burly disciples in gray clothes were busy cooking.
Seeing the two people, Xu Mu remembered the two figures in the fruit forest. After Li Heng introduced them, they were indeed the two figures in the fruit forest.
One of them is called Daniu, and the other is called Erniu!
Xu Mu was a little stunned when he first heard their names. This name was too inconsistent with the temperament of an immortal cultivator, and it was not even as good as his name, Xu Da.
Later, I found out what was going on after listening to Li Heng's explanation.
The two of them practiced kung fu so hard that they couldn't remember names that were too complicated. For the sake of convenience, Li Heng came up with two such names.
When talking about this, Li Heng looked at Xu Mu strangely. He originally thought that Xu Mu would be similar to the two of them.
In addition to Da Niu and Er Niu, Gu Jianfeng also had a senior sister and a junior sister. Unfortunately, Xu Mu did not see either of them.
The senior sister went to the top of the mountain to take care of Master Gufeng, and would usually come back every three or four days. The younger junior sister was like a dragon that never came to an end. Even Li Heng, who stayed at Gujian Peak every day, only saw so many people in a year. Two or three times.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Mu finally met the senior sister of Gujian Peak——
Luo Qingchen!
