Block the Door

Chapter 144 Blocking the Door

The entrance to the underground is directly north of the platform on the top of the mountain. When Mei Zhangjian led Li Wuxiang over, he found that the terrain there was higher. Then he thought of "siting north and facing south" and expected that when this huge palace was still there, this should be where the emperor's throne was.

Then this entrance should have been hidden under the throne or behind it.

Interestingly, when the Ye Dynasty was prosperous, Li Ye was not only the Taoist ancestor of the world, but also the emperor of humanity, and the number one cultivator in the world. Why did he create a secret tunnel under the Supreme Throne?

When Li Wuxiang followed the Mei Zhang Sword into the ground through the long passage, the feeling of doubt in his heart became even stronger - the space under the mountaintop platform was like a refuge.

When they came down, they were in a round hall, very high, with a curved dome. The stone tiles paved on the ground should have a history of more than 3,000 years, but it seems that because the swordsmen are diligent in cleaning, they are still clean and tidy, but they have been polished to shine brighter.

This rotunda has stone walls with lights embedded in the walls. But this lamp is not an ordinary candlelight, but more like amber that has been polished into a shape, with whitened balls sealed in it. It is those balls that are emitting light, illuminating this place like daylight.

There are also semicircular arches on the walls of this rotunda. Li Wuxiang looked at the doors and was about to speak when Mei Zhangjian said, "We don't live here either."

Then he opened one of the doors and took Li Wuxiang down. The stone corridor is long and dim. When I am almost reaching the end, I see the faint light coming through, the moist and fresh air, and the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees, and it feels like I have returned to the ground again.

When he reached the end, Li Wuxiang saw a vast space in front of him.

This turned out to be a cave within a cave - there was a world hidden in the belly of this hillside. The sky above our heads is clear and green, with mountains and green mountains in the distance, and clouds and mist lingering in between. The river like a jade belt flows around the mountains, flowing into the mist surrounding this world, and there are even birds singing - groups of cranes and egrets fly through the clouds and mist...

The weather here is almost exactly the same as the fairy mountain he imagined.

"This is Taiyi Cave Heaven, a dojo opened by Taiyi, which was hidden by Jiang Jie in the Nether Nine Abyss." The plum palm sword pointed towards a mountain peak in the east, "That's Jiuzhu Peak, which is the dojo of our lineage."

Li Wuxiang looked over there. Jiuzhu Peak is located in the east of this cave. It is one of the two highest mountains. It is solitary and tall, like a bamboo shoot rising from the ground among the mountains. Half of this mountain peak is an exposed cliff, as if the rocks have been chipped away, and the remaining area is covered with lush trees. There is a small stone platform near the top of the mountain, and several cornices are hidden among the pine trees on the stone platform.

"There are five branches in total in the sect now, and the other four are over there - Feihong Peak, Hujin Peak, Lingqiao Peak, and Dadong Peak. Leader Jiang is on Dadong Peak. You see, the tallest one in the middle is." She After saying this, he looked at Li Wuxiang and said, "I was going to take you to our Jiuzhu Dojo just now, but suddenly I remembered something small, so you should go back first and I'll go over after a while."

Li Wuxiang smiled and said: "Okay, then I will go to the mountain to wait for you."

Mei Zhangjian immediately turned around and walked into the woods, while Li Wuxiang walked towards Jiuzhu Peak.

Under the mountains, there are fluffy green grasslands. The terrain is generally flat with slight ups and downs, dotted with clumps of trees.

I don’t know where the sun comes from in this cave sky. Now it is gradually moving towards the west, and there is more light gold in the sunlight. It illuminates the grassy slopes on the ground, which are dark green and light green, which is extremely beautiful.

He walked out slowly for a while, then turned and looked in the direction where the Mei Zhang Sword had gone, and couldn't help but smile.

Two quarters of an hour ago, he would have felt that Mei Zhang Jian really had something to do. But after entering Youjiuyuan, he realized that Mei Zhangjian's temperament was not as gentle and indifferent as it seemed. Beneath this surface, she actually had some hidden lively thoughts - when she was digging a grave outside, she deliberately looked at her own joke, and said nothing before jumping into the grave, as if she was also teasing herself.

This made Li Wuxiang feel a sense of intimacy in his heart, and he was also thinking at this time that she didn't really have anything to do.

Because when he was walking towards Jiuzhu Peak, he found someone on the platform at the top of the peak.

There are about a hundred people in the Sword Sect. When they came down, Mei Zhangjian said that swordsmen are generally away from home all year round. Except for receiving errands from the sect and paying orders, they rarely come back.

Because when you come back, you have to borrow some of the true spirit of the Nether Messenger, and actually have to travel through the Lingshan Mountain, which will leave clues, so there are not many swordsmen in the Netherworld.

But now Li Wuxiang saw at least five or six figures on the platform of Jiuzhu Peak, so there should be more people on it.

Maybe he came to ask Mei Zhangjian Xingshi for punishment.

Now that I think about it, it seems that Mei Zhangjian has been inoculating himself these past few days - in other sects, it is unlikely that anyone would find a Nascent Soul who is about to become a Yang God to question him.

But here in the Sword Sect, they call each other brothers and sisters. Looking at the behavior of the few people she has come into contact with, it seems that there is indeed no strong concept of respect and inferiority. So now, she is most likely going to ask her to go first. Give her a thumbs-up - I can't blame myself for what happened in Coffin City, but I am from her lineage, so even if those people hate each other as much as Jiang Jie did before, they shouldn't be too embarrassed.

Once this time is over, she should feel much more comfortable when she comes back.

It's just that Li Wuxiang didn't expect that she would have such thoughts before. This makes her look more like a living person rather than a heartless Nascent Soul monster.

Li Wuxiang looked for it at the bottom of the mountain. He didn't see the way up the mountain, so he simply stopped looking and used his elixir to climb straight up. His body was light. After taking a deep breath, he exerted a little force on his arms and immediately jumped up a foot or two. After more than a quarter of an hour, he saw the platform on the top of the mountain.

He jumped up from the lush pines and cypresses on the right and saw the appearance of the houses on the platform.

It looks like a farmhouse in the mountains. There are three main houses in the north leaning against the mountain wall, with a wing on each side. The stone platform on the top of the mountain is the courtyard, and the cliffs are the walls.

There were more people than he thought, thirteen or four men and five or six women, all standing in front of the main room.

They gathered around a person - this person was sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard. He looked about forty or fifty years old, slightly shorter and fatter than Jiang Jie, and looked very kind. But at this time, his expression was not friendly, but slightly frowning, with his eyes closed, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed, and as if he was getting ready to go.

After a while, a young woman came out of the main room. The swordsmen in the yard gathered around and asked, "How are Sword Master Xiao and the others doing?"

The woman sighed and shook her head: "Junior brother Zeng's cultivation has been ruined. It's hard to say for junior brother Pan. If he is nursed back to health well, he can be brought back to health. If he is not nursed back to health well, I'm afraid he won't be able to form elixirs in the future. ”

A swordsman was stunned, frowned, and looked at the person on the bamboo chair: "Sword Master Cui, when Plum Palm Sword comes back this time, we can't let her do anything else outside. In our lineage, Senior Brother Pan is the most likely to marry in the future. Dan, maybe he can’t get the pill now? Shouldn’t he be allowed to mix with Senior Brother Zeng... Oh, I didn’t mean to say anything bad about Senior Brother Zeng, I just meant..."

Another swordsman took over: "You don't need to explain, everyone understands. Junior Brother Zeng is a good person, we all know him. We are just talking about Mei Zhang Sword - she was the one who brought Lou He in. . If I remember correctly, the leader was not happy when she wanted to bring Lou He back, but Senior Sister Mei was so willful that she brought him back. "

"It's better now, bring someone back... Well, I've said before that you shouldn't bring people in the arts. This kind of people have a lot of involvement with the outside world. Who knows what will happen? Not this time That’s it?”

His words made several other people sigh. Another swordsman frowned and said: "Usually when Mei Zhangjian comes back, we will talk to her about these things, but she gets impatient and leaves, and we can't catch her. This time the matter has become so big. ——Sword Master Cui, you must Come forward and persuade her. Our Sword Sect has kept a low profile for these hundreds of years. This is the intention of Leader Jiang. However, Mei Zhangjian always says strange things, and this time he destroyed the coffin city. This is going to attract big people. Woe...Sword Master Cui, Sword Master Cui?"

After calling out for a few times, Sword Master Cui, who was sitting on the bamboo chair, took a breath and waved his hand: "Junior sister Mei is too young. She is a genius. She became a baby in forty-six years, and she is about to condense into the Yang Shen in twelve years. Alas, , this is both a good thing and a bad thing. I want to persuade her, otherwise what would I do if I brought you here? This time, if you have anything to say, talk to her - some of you are more experienced than her. It’s still early, so it’s for her own good.”

While all these people were frowning and sighing, Li Wuxiang walked to the back of the crowd.

Then he realized that Mei Zhangjian's situation seemed to be different from what she told him outside.

When I was outside, I knew that she was a swordsman and didn't like to stay in Youjiuyuan, but she would go out with the leader to play with the yin and yang gods and enjoy the flowers.

At that time, Li Wuxiang felt that even if the Sword Sect didn't talk about seniority and inferiority, her cultivation level, which was almost Yangshen, should be highly respected and she was a very important person.

However, now after listening to these people's complaints, Li Wuxiang imagined a situation that was closer to the truth——

The swordsmen of the Sword Sect don't seem to like Mei Zhangjian's disagreement with the leader, nor do they like many of her practices. Every time she returned to Youjiuyuan, someone would always come to persuade her and slowly make her feel bored.

Li Wuxiang thought she was an old Nascent Soul monster before, but now Sword Master Cui said this... It turns out that compared to her cultivation, Mei Zhangjian is frighteningly young!

Therefore, another very strange image took shape in his head——

Mei Zhang Jian may not be as calm and indifferent as she looks, but in fact there is a little lively escape hidden in her heart. But her two identities, Nascent Soul and Palm Sword, forced her to become calm and indifferent... She had to show an open-minded and tolerant attitude, and she was not even good at arguing with others.

In fact, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, but couldn't argue with it - in the past, it was because she was a young minority, but this time, Lou He had indeed caused a big disaster.

Well, no wonder she wanted to come first to draw the fire for her.

But by this time, it was impossible for Li Wu to be dissatisfied with her. Because in this situation, she still brought herself into the Sword Sect. I used to think that she had told him a lot of things sincerely the moment she met him, and I was still wondering if she was scheming and had some other intentions.

Now I think... maybe she just feels close to me and can talk to her.

How weird, he actually felt a little pitiful for his Nascent Soul Master!

At this time, another swordsman spoke up and said: "Sword Master Cui, I heard that Mei Zhangjian has brought back a new sect member, and he is also one who has forged elixirs. Is this true?"

The people around him were stunned, and someone answered: "Junior Brother Pan was still awake for a while when he came back. I heard him say that it was true. He should have made the elixir in Coffin City."

"So, he is another person who comes to the sect with his art career? Alas, with Lou He, hasn't Plum Palm Sword learned a lesson yet? With the cultivation level of Jindan, I don't know how many people and things are involved... ...Plum Palm Sword, alas, she was afraid that Xuanjiao would not be able to find You Jiuyuan."

Sword Master Cui coughed and raised his hand: "This is too much."

"Sword Master Cui, you know what I mean, but I don't know which sect I belonged to in the past. After forming an elixir, and entering a sect, you have to abolish your cultivation and rebuild it. After you have formed an elixir, you must abolish your cultivation and then rebuild it, I'm afraid even Lou He It's not as good as... What does Mei Zhangjian want? Why does she always come to the sect to recruit people? "

The people around him sighed again. Li Wuxiang coughed: "Hey, I heard that that person didn't have any sect in the past. He started practicing our sword sect skills - haven't you heard what Senior Brother Zeng said?"

The person who spoke looked back, but did not see Li Wuxiang, so he just frowned: "Is that a former outer sect disciple? How could such a thing happen? An outer sect disciple who has practiced for dozens or hundreds of years? If he is really so good How can he be an outer disciple for so long if he has no qualifications?”

"It's not a few decades, right? I heard that the man that Senior Brother Zeng met in Jinshui near Qingjiang City a few months ago taught him the Sword Cultivation Technique, and then it took about a month or two. It’s a pill.”

Several swordsmen around Li Wuxiang turned to look at him: "Who did you listen to? Is that still a human being?"

Li Wuxiang approached them and whispered: "It seems that he is not a human being, but a green bag fairy. Have you heard of the green bag fairy?"

Several people were stunned, and one of them frowned and thought for a while: "I seem to have heard that there is some kind of skill in our sect that can cultivate this thing. So the Plum Palm Sword... is really , Alas, it’s too wanton! By the way, how do you know about this junior brother?”

Li Wuxiang lowered his voice: "Because it's me!"
