Luoying Valley is located in the central and southern hinterland of China, where spring is like all four seasons. However, Jiuli Mountain is in the vast and distant northern mountain range. Cai Gu, the owner of the valley, was very visionary and took the time to either take the waterway or use the flying kite, allowing his wife and children to enjoy the scenery and travel as quickly as possible.
On the day of disembarking from the ship, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, Wang, held a group of gang members and tearfully bid farewell to Cai Zhao on the shore, thanking him for not being a disciple. He also presented more than ten fragrant and shiny black plum roasted geese as a gift. Cai Zhao was so angry that his belly swelled up like a pufferfish, and he refused to eat in anger.
The family laughed and finally arrived within the territory of Qingque Prefecture before finishing their snacks.
Qingque Prefecture is named after Qingque Sect. It was the place where Beichen Ancestor practiced Taoism. However, after two hundred years, the small village of Xueling on a solitary mountain, which was rarely visited by people, has now become a holy land that every martial artist in the world wants to go to. The Cai family lingered in the small town at the foot of the mountain for a while, and the next day hired more than ten suitable unicycles for the mountain road to go up.
As soon as he left the town, a majestic and solemn mountain range caught Cai Zhao's eye.
The mountain is tall and majestic, with its head pressed against the top. The huge and dangerous mountains and rocks are like a group of monsters that have been immobilized, climbing greedily on the top of pedestrians' heads, as if waiting for an opportunity to move. The deep green, lush green, and light green from far and near are stacked layer by layer, rushing in front of you, making it hard to breathe. Looking at the faint mountain peaks, they are actually huge and towering beyond words, just far away from you.
In the legendary prehistoric era, this place was filled with dens of various demons and toxins, nourished and strengthened by the abundant spiritual energy in the mountains, causing harm to the people. These monsters were later eradicated by immortals, and one of the disciples with the Taoist name Beichen was appointed to sit here.
After a long, long time, the world has changed, and the spiritual energy of the human world has dried up. The immortal traces have disappeared, and the young disciple Beichen, who sits in charge of Jiuli Mountain, has also become the ancestor of Beichen, who leads the world in martial arts cultivation.
Young Cai Zhao once asked his aunt, 'Is Lao Zu really a disciple of immortals?'?
Cai Pingshu smiled and said, "It happened hundreds of years ago. Who knows if it's true or false, but as people from Beichen, we always have to put some gold on our ancestors' faces. Zhaozhao, do you want this to be true or false
I hope it's fake, "Cai Zhao held her chubby little face with a serious expression.
Cai Pingshu was slightly puzzled and asked why.
The little girl sighed like an adult and said, "All the other immortals have left and flown to the sky, leaving only our ancestor alone on earth. He is too pitiful
Cai Zhao doesn't remember most of the conversation that followed, but only remembers that the sunshine was very warm at that time, making her feel drowsy lying on her aunt's lap. Her aunt's expression was very gentle, her hands were soft, and she rubbed her hair, muttering, 'Zhao Zhao's heart is so soft, don't wander the rivers and lakes in the future.'.
Cai Zhao has no intention of wandering in the martial arts world.
She likes the Luoying Valley and Luoying Town. She likes to hear the familiar cries of tofu pudding Uncle when she gets up in the morning. She likes the Wonton stall with a small shed and a dim fire at night. She likes to have her family and friends around and lazily bask in the sun. How wonderful it is to live a lifetime like this.
It was only after climbing to the top of the mountain that Cai Zhao realized that the so-called 'mountaintop' was an extremely spacious flat top, like a small hill with its peak flattened, revealing a circular and flat cross-section, while the main peak mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist ahead was still far away.
On the vast flat top, there are watchtowers and outposts. More than ten disciples stationed there saw Cai and his group, and they came over from afar with fists clasped together. Currently, a round faced man in his thirties led his disciples to bow to Cai Pingchun and his wife, and Cai Zhao and his siblings returned the salute.
Ning Xiaofeng joked, "Why is the building personally on duty here today? Did you make a mistake and be punished to come to Fengyun Peak
Zeng Da Lou raised his head and laughed heartily, "I calculated this morning that the Luoying Valley mansion would arrive today, so I came out and waited
Cai Pingchun shook his head and said, "You were so honest when you were a child, but now you have learned to be slick
Zeng Da Lou moved his lips and gave up with a smile.
Ning Xiaofeng took it over and said, "You must be thinking in your heart, what kind of mature Cai Ping's spring costume is? He's only a few years older than me. When we played together in the first year, we even threw mud at each other. Now he's putting on the score of the valley master
Zeng Dadao smiled and waved his hand, "I dare not, I dare not
Listening to their parents talking to someone, Cai Zhao and her siblings whispered in their ears.
Sister, where is Qingque Sect? He can't be here, can he? Why don't we keep going
Big fool, let's go. Where are we going? Didn't you see that the flat top is broken in front of us
The Cai family came up from the south slope, and the north side of the flat top was like being chopped off by a huge thick back machete. Sheng Sheng cut off a curved edge on the north side of the platform, forming a clean and sharp cliff.
The siblings stood on the edge of the cliff, looking around, with their feet suspended in the air. The darkness below was unfathomable, while on the other side of the cliff, clouds and mist were swirling. Apart from the faintly towering mountain peaks, nothing else could be seen clearly.
At this moment, Zeng Da Building waved his hand, and a young disciple beside him took off the horn from his waist and blew it with a puff of air. The horn sounded low and the surging sound like waves seemed to reach distant mountain peaks. The siblings didn't understand why and were about to ask a question when Cai Pingchun walked over and pulled them aside.
However, after a moment, only a terrifying sound of breaking through the air and the tinkling sound of iron tools came from across the cliff. Four black iron chains, like giant pythons, were shot out of the dense mist like lightning.
The chains rushing towards us, each with the thickness of a strong man's arm, came fiercely and fiercely, with a terrifying roar. If they hit an ordinary person, they would have to break their bones and spit out blood. The four young and strong disciples next to the Zeng Building held their breath and focused, their muscles bulging. They stood in a posture and waited for the chains to come to them, each firmly catching them one by one. Then they quickly tied them to the iron rings nailed to the ground and fixed them in place.
Wow, that's amazing... "Cai Zhao opened her mouth wide.
Cai Han nodded like a woodpecker and said, "Yes, yes, yes
Zeng Dabao arched his hand and said, "Disgusted praise
Cai Zhao was about to praise a few more words when he heard the sound of the iron chains. He quickly turned around, only to see several disciples of the sect with tied hair and swords stepping on iron ropes and gracefully coming from the clouds and mist.
Especially the one who was at the forefront, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a plain embroidered gold robe, handsome and graceful, as polished as a brush, he was a rare handsome man, with a solemn expression and a cold and proud expression.
Cai Pingshu once said to his knee high niece, 'Zhao Zhao, when you look for a husband in the future, you must not look for someone who is cold and arrogant. Because that kind of man will definitely ask you to coax him. Isn't it good to be coaxed in life? Why go to great lengths to coax others?'.
So Cai Zhao made up his mind at a young age that his future husband would treat him like a shopkeeper seeing a big customer.
Returning to his senses and fixing his gaze, Cai Zhaoguan noticed that under the feet of that handsome man, he could easily leap out of grace with just a gentle tap on the iron rope with his toes. His posture was ethereal, and he gave birth much faster than other disciples.
After they settled down, the disciples on the flat roof all bowed to the young man in plain robes with fists, but he only bowed to the Zeng Building with one hand and then bowed to Cai Pingchun, saying, "Disciple Song Yuzhi, I have met Master Cai and Lady Cai
During the conversation, the other disciples also came down from the iron rope.
Cai Pingchun nodded, but Ning Xiaofeng frowned and looked at the young man's appearance: "Your surname is Song? What is your father..."
Before they could finish speaking, there was a commotion behind everyone. At the beginning, there was a loud and orderly shout. Cai Zhao turned his head and saw thirty-two strong warriors with bare right shoulders carrying a huge walking carriage neatly.
The carriage was adorned with gold and jade, with delicate curtains fluttering on all sides. Even the four corners were adorned with red gold bells, and the tongue of the bells was made of translucent tourmaline. Behind the carriage, there was a convoy of supplies that looked like a long snake with no visible tail.
The Cai Zhao siblings, who were so far away from the valley for the first time, were stunned on the spot. Cai Han opened his mouth wide and said, "Okay, what a big show
So it's him who's here, "murmured Cai Pingchun
Ning Xiaofeng remained expressionless and said, "Why am I not surprised at all
Cai Zhao turned his younger brother's head and asked, "Do you still think I'm particular about it now
Cai Han shook his head vigorously.
Cai Zhao complained in a low voice, feeling heartbroken, "I feel like I'm cutting back on food and clothing
Cai Han nodded vigorously.
The young man in the plain robe heard it and twitched his lips.
The carriage stopped and a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious and grandiose attire walked down. The gilded sword with a dove blood red inlay on his waist alone made Cai Zhao unable to open his eyes. To be honest, this wealthy uncle is born well, with high salaries and handsome features. He was also a popular figure in his youth, and even in middle age, his charm remains undiminished.
Cai Zhao looked at him with a familiar expression... She suddenly turned her head and asked, "Why does this wealthy uncle look so similar to the cold, proud, and handsome Song Yuzhi beside him?
As soon as Zeng Building saw the people from Guangtianmen approaching, he showed a helpless expression on his face. He put on a smiling face and walked forward to pay his respects, while whispering to his disciples to go to the edge of the cliff for some unknown arrangement.
Ignoring Cai Zhao's scrutinizing gaze, Song Yuzhi stepped forward and said, "Father, you're here
Mr. Song was very happy to see his son and his eyes were filled with admiration, saying, "Yuzhi, your lightness skills have also benefited you
At this moment, an arrogant Plath's voice came from behind: "Father, don't you talk about Yuzhi, it's been a long time since you wrote a letter to your family
The crowd followed the sound and saw a young man in splendid attire riding a magnificent and majestic BMW. The pure gold studded reins alone were of great value, followed by another rider, a typical knight and a typical horse.
Cai Zhao frowned. It's really a waste of time for such a divine horse to climb a mountain slope.
Ning Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and asked the Zeng Building, "Did you count with your fingers until he arrived today
Zeng Building gave an awkward smile.
Song Yuzhi stepped forward again and bowed, saying, "Big brother, second brother, Yuzhi has met two older brothers." Then he introduced to the Cai family that the one dressed in ordinary clothes was the eldest son of the Song family, Xiuzhi, and the second son, Maozhi, dressed in the same dazzling and colorful clothes as his father.
Song Xiuzhi immediately dismounted and saluted, while Song Maozhi raised his nose and gave a laugh.
Cai Pingchun's face remained unchanged, and Ning Xiaofeng couldn't help but touch his waist. Cai Zhao knew that his mother's hands were itching, so he quickly went over and held her hand in secret.
Pingchun, it's been a long time since we last met. You haven't changed at all, "said Song Shijun, the head of Guangtian Gate, arrogantly walking towards the Cai family.
I dare not take it, I have met Brother Song, "Cai Pingchun arched his hand and handed over the right to speak to his wife.
Ning Xiaofeng smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. Pingchun is still young and hasn't changed much, but Lord Song has changed a bit... This belt is more expensive than before
Song Shijun's face immediately darkened as he said, "Miss Ning's eloquence remains the same as before." However, he couldn't help but touch his waist - the Lord of the Song Sect was indeed exceptionally handsome and magnificent, but also... had gained a little weight.
Song Shijun thought about his identity, and it wouldn't be honorable to try to win with a woman by showing off his eloquence. So his eyes changed and he saw the Cai Zhao siblings beside him. "This is Zhao Zhao, who is about to become a disciple of the Qingque Sect. I have heard from Brother Yunke about you a long time ago. Sigh, it's a pity that your aunt has already passed away, otherwise we would be able to drink and chat with her again this time
Cai Zhao was very puzzled and sincere, "Is Master Song very familiar with my aunt
That's natural, "said Master Song with a mature and steady smile.
But my aunt never mentioned Lord Song. "This is the truth, because Miss Cai considers herself to have upright character and usually does not speak falsely.
Father and son of the Song family:.
Ning Xiaofeng suppressed her laughter and wanted to hug her daughter and give her a kiss.
Still, Cai Pingchun, who has a kind and honest character, came out to smooth things over: "Brother Song, recently Yinggu has refined two pairs of top-quality healing pills. Why don't you give me your palm and eyes? Xiao Feng, you should come too
Song Shijun nodded stiffly and followed the Cai couple to the side. Cai Zhao heard from afar, and he seemed to be unwilling to ask, 'Pingchun, your sister really never mentioned me.' Then Ning Xiaofeng interjected, 'What would Pingshu sister say when she mentioned you, Lord Song? Don't you have a clear idea in your heart, it's better not to ask hurtful words about friendship.'
