Reaching to the Sky

Chapter 30: Taiqing Ancestral Court

Views:

The Qingyi Taoist rescued one person and immediately turned around in the air to rescue others.

After grabbing the nearby people out of the water, Taoist Qingyi did not continue to attack the round-headed monster fish with sharp teeth. Instead, he stepped on a wooden cart in the water to gain strength, lifted it up again, and swept westward.

The man was not tall, and because he was too far away, he couldn't see his specific appearance. If he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he couldn't judge his age.

The strange fish was still biting people in the water, but the Taoist priest in Qingyi did not take action again. Instead, he circled and moved from the sky. After several searches, he returned the sword to its sheath, pulled out a dagger from his waist, adjusted his body shape, and dived into the water.

After the Qingyi Taoist entered the water, there were turbulent waves under the water. In a blink of an eye, a huge strange fish rushed out of the water. This strange fish was similar in shape to those round-headed black fish, but it was bigger and had mouth corners on both sides. There are many long beards hanging down, and the scales on its body are not black, but golden red.

The Taoist in green was also out of the water with the strange fish. The dagger in his hand was inserted into the back of the strange fish. At this time, he held the dagger tightly in his left hand and stretched his right hand back, trying to pull out the long sword on his back.

The strange fish quickly plunged into the water after it came out of the water. Before it entered the water, Nanfeng didn't see clearly whether the Taoist in Qingyi had drawn out his long sword. His attention was mainly focused on the golden strange fish.

The golden monster fish disappeared after falling into the water, but the massacre on the water continued. The bloody scene was terrifying, but the screams of the dying people were even more horrifying. It was a kind of despair that sent chills throughout the body.

Since the Taoist in Tsing Yi was taken underwater by the strange fish, Nanfeng had been worried about him. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Taoist in Tsing Yi to rush out of the water. The long sword was already unsheathed and held in his right hand.

The golden strange fish must have been the leader of this group of black fish. At this time, it had been killed by the Qingyi Taoist. Without the leader, the black fish lost their control and began to sink and escape.

The Taoist in Qingyi returned his sword to its sheath and returned quickly from the water. However, he did not save people one by one. He just threw the floating debris in the water near them. Some people caught it, and some people did not catch it. They did not catch the floating objects. He won't care about those people anymore.

It didn't take long for Taoist Qingyi to fall back to the ice downstream. He caught a few people who were struggling to climb up and walked north without waiting or thanking them.

"Master, are you from the Taiqing Sect?" Nanfeng shouted loudly.

Even though they were far away, the Taoist in Qingyi still heard Nanfeng's call. He stopped and turned around to look at Nanfeng.

But Nanfeng didn't speak anymore. He was thinking about saying, 'Do you know Xuan Zhenzi? 'What will be the consequences

Seeing that he was silent, the man turned around and continued moving forward.

Until the Taoist walked far away, Nanfeng did not speak. He was walking north. Even if he knew Xuan Zhenzi, he would not send him to Taiqing Mountain. Moreover, the Book of Heaven was too important, and he did not dare to leak it to others.

Fortunately, we have crossed the river now, and further south is the border of Liang State. On the road, I heard people say that Liang State is more stable and prosperous than Wei State, and I guess I won't encounter so many bandits and robbers again.

Watching the green-robed Taoist go away, Nanfeng picked up his bedding and set off on the road again.

In addition to the fear of the previous danger, the scene of the Taoist subduing the demon also made Nanfeng envious. The Taoist in Qingyi could not only fly through the air, but also force the long sword to release the legendary sword energy. In addition, he could also turn around in the air. , borrowing strength from the debris floating on the water, what impressed him most was the Taoist's courage. He dared to go into the water to subdue monsters. He was really brave and majestic.

But there was one thing he still couldn't figure out, that is, Taoist Taoist Qingyi didn't seem to be very dedicated to saving people. He would grab those who were nearby and throw them onto the ice, while those who were far away would just throw some floating debris over. If the other party caught him After a while, he stopped paying attention.

After crossing a ridge, a fire appeared in front of them. The fire was the light of candles. Judging from the range of the fire, there should be a large town four or five miles to the south.

The other survivors went to the town, but Nanfeng didn't get in. He was used to staying away from the crowd, so he found a bridge hole to live in in the south of the town.

Since sleeping in the wild, I rarely wake up from sleep. Most of the time I am woken up by the cold. At the fourth watch, the south wind wakes me up again. The straw curtain and the shabby bed quilt are unable to withstand the severe cold of March 9th.

After waking up, Nanfeng packed up and continued on his way. He had already arrived at the border of the southern country. In the early morning, he asked people about the location of Taiqing Mountain, but the people here didn't know it at all. When he asked Wanling again, someone finally knew that Wanling was a mountain. County, under Danyang County, is in the southeast of here, more than 800 miles away from here.

Nanfeng still had money on him at this time, so when he was buying dry food, he asked the food shop owner. The shop owner also knew Wanling County, and it was exactly the same as what the people said.

After confirming the location, Nanfeng bought dry food and started on the road again. It was 800 miles and still had to walk for a month.

After going deep into the Liang State, Nanfeng discovered that there was a big difference between the Liang State in the south and the Wei State in the north. The most obvious thing was the weather. Although it was also winter in Liang State, it was not as cold as Wei State. You would not suffer from the cold if you did not light a fire at night. No.

In addition, the Liang State is richer than the Wei State. There are almost no beggars on the road. The food and clothing of the people are better than those of the Wei State. Although they are not worried about food and clothing, they are not starving. Not covering the body.

Furthermore, the people of Liang are kinder than the people of Wei, and they are more likely to give guidance patiently when asking for directions.

Generally speaking, the Liang State was better than the Wei State, but this was only the overall situation. There were bad people everywhere. We also encountered bandits on the way, and we were also cheated of money when buying dry food.

At first, Nanfeng could walk more than thirty miles a day, but after ten days, he could only walk seven or eight miles a day. This was not because he was hungry and weak, but because he was lame and was walking on the official road and was speeding by. The carriage hit.

With injuries on his legs, walking became more difficult. Nanfeng was used to hardships, and the journey was very difficult for him.

A month later, Nanfeng arrived in Danyang County. On his way to Wanling County, bad luck struck him again. He was bitten by poison while sleeping in a broken house at night. He didn't know what it was, and the wound didn't look like it was poisonous. It was probably caused by snakes, probably small bugs.

The index finger of his right hand that was bitten began to swell that night. Sensing the danger, Nanfeng used the Gua knife left by Tian Yuanzi to cut the bitten finger, squeeze it hard, and bleed as much blood as possible. This method was adopted by him since his old age. He was not sure whether what he heard from the beggar had any effect.

When I woke up in the morning, my entire right arm was numb, and my palm was swollen and black. Nanfeng gritted his teeth and cut several other fingers, and the blood dripped naturally.

Facts have proved that what he did was right. By the afternoon, the blood color of his right arm returned to normal. However, he was already very thin, and he ate very poorly during this period. The large amount of blood loss made him extremely weak. From Danyang County to Wanling County He walked the ten miles journey for two full days.

Taiqing Mountain is located due north of Wanling County. The south wind started early and arrived at Taiqing Mountain at around nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, the fog in the mountain had not dissipated, and the majestic Taiqing Mountain was shrouded in a dense mist.

Nanfeng had thought that the Taiqing Sect must be very big before, but he did not expect it to be so big. The Shipai Mountain Gate was so big that it was scary. The doorposts were two arms thick, the left and right doorposts were three feet apart, and the stone tablets on top of the pillars towered into the clouds.

To the north of the mountain gate, there is an extremely spacious site, covering an area of more than a hundred acres. It is circular and paved with two-color stone slabs. The black and white stone slabs pave the entire site with a huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.

At this time, there are hundreds of people practicing martial arts in the Tai Chi Square. These people are all dressed as Taoists, ranging in age from seven or eight years old to teenagers. They are divided into three places, and they are all practicing basic kung fu.

Directly north of the square is the stone road going up the mountain. The stone road is more than three feet wide and is paved with stone strips. There are countless steps leading directly to the mountainside hall.

The main hall located on the mountainside is a veritable palace. It is hundreds of times larger than the ruined temple he lived in before. He has only seen such a large building once before, and that was the Wei Palace. The main hall located on the mountainside is naturally not as big as the imperial palace, but it is also Not much smaller.

In addition to the main hall on the mountainside, there are many smaller buildings in the mountain, at least dozens of them. On the west side of the main road, there is a path winding up the mountain.

Nanfeng looked up at Taiqing Mountain with mixed feelings in his heart. This was Tian Yuanzi's sect and the end of his trip. After all the hardships, he finally arrived...
