Chapter 508 Jade Dragon Pond [Ask for a monthly pass! 】
"I don't understand."
Feng Chaoyang looked at the magnificent palace in the distance, and expressed sincere doubts.
They Tianwangzong came early, a group of people chose up and down, and finally chose this courtyard, thinking that it is the best place to live.
It was indeed true.
But why can someone live in the palace?
Are you royalty?
The royal family doesn’t just get this kind of treatment, does it?
Compared with the palace halfway up the mountain, my courtyard attic suddenly looked like a gatehouse where older men lived, and I immediately became unhappy.
Original practitioners don’t care about this.
But I am most afraid of comparison in everything.
Not only the people of Tianwangzong didn't understand, even the people of Shushan didn't understand. Several people looked at the young palace man with doubts.
"Isn't this against the rules?" Wang Xuanling frowned and said, "I've been to several Xianmen conferences, but I haven't heard of anyone being able to stay in the palace..."
"It was not possible before, but this time it is His Majesty's oral order." The palace man looked at Chu Liang, bowed and said: "Your brother is here, you should receive him in the palace."
Okay.
I almost forgot if you didn’t mention it.
It was only then that Chu Liang remembered that he still had such a layer of identity. After all, he was hanging out in the fairy gate all day long, and no one cared about the title of the imperial court. The previous reward was nothing more than giving him a few shops, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
When I really came to Yudu City, I realized that this identity is still useful.
"It's so embarrassing." Chu Liang smiled coyly, paused, and said again: "My brother has a heart."
Immediately, under the eyes of the disciples of Tianwangzong, all the people in Shushan walked up to the top of the mountain and entered the huge palace. But soon there will be other disciples from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths settled in, and then the Heavenly King Sect will be able to gain a sense of superiority again.
The palace on the Emperor’s Hill is relatively simple, but compared to the main hall in the imperial city, compared with the houses around the outside, it can still be regarded as carved beams and painted buildings, but it doesn’t look rich. The rockery and flowing water in the courtyard are deep and elegant, with a garden scenery.
Lao Fangrong and his group delivered the few people and then left. The waiters were originally serving in the palace, but in order not to disturb the practice of Shushan people, they all withdrew.
Everyone in Shushan had no objection. Anyway, if there were a few eunuchs and maids here at any time, they would feel uncomfortable.
Not long after settling down, guests came to the door.
"Oh, this... actually staying in the palace? It's such a high honor." After the visitor entered, he was also very surprised.
Wang Xuanling brought four disciples to receive him in the main hall, and said: "Junior Brother Chen, it's been a long time again."
The name of the visitor was Chen Xuanlu, the head of the Xuanxin Sect outside Yudu City. He used to be a disciple of Shu Mountain, and he was two generations younger than Wang Xuanling, so he was called Junior Brother.
"Senior Brother Wang, it's been another twelve years in a flash." Chen Xuanlu was dressed in a cloud-pattern robe and a high crown with tied hair.
Behind him were three young people, two men and one woman, all of whom looked young.
All the people lined up tables in the hall and sat facing each other on the floor.
"The young people of our Shushan School are really good." Chen Xuanlu looked at the young disciples and said with a smile: "I was worried for a long time before, what if this year's results don't go well? Later, I heard many times about our Shushan School I was gradually relieved when the name of the new generation was heard in my ears."
"The young people of your Xuanxin faction are also very good." Wang Xuanling looked at the few people behind him, and then said against his will.
"Hey." Chen Xuanlu smiled, "A few stubborn disciples, let them participate in the Fairy Gate Conference, not because they want to achieve any results, but to experience it."
…
Nine heavens and ten earths are such a large fairy sect, there are many disciples who have gone down the mountain before, struggling in the rivers and lakes, and finally founded their own sect.
If you count seriously, the sects derived from the Shushan School should be the most. After all, it used to occupy the position of the first fairy gate for several thousand years, and it is normal for its branches to flourish during this period.
So those who are more closely connected are actually the previous generation or two, like Chen Xuanlu.
Every year before the Fairy Gate Conference, he would bring his disciples to say hello to the Shushan team and get acquainted with each other. Basically every small sect with a foundation will do this. If they meet at the Fairy Gate Conference, they can take care of each other.
It was a routine visit.
Small sects like the Xuanxin Sect do not have a long-term inheritance. There are so many such small sects outside the city of Yudu, and their main business is to accept some less talented officials and children from rich families.
These young people are often unable to enter the large fairy gates by virtue of their talents, and cannot enter the imperial court such as Shenglong Academy and Zhenguo Chonglou Temple by virtue of their connections. If the elders want the juniors to practice, they can only find a small sect outside Yudu City and learn some martial arts and supernatural powers, which is barely an introduction.
They are not for the sake of high achievements, but for the sake of keeping fit and prolonging life. Therefore, the masters in places where they are not serious about their cultivation will not be harsh.
Normal practitioners are definitely unwilling to spend time teaching disciples with poor talents, but as long as they give enough, everything can be discussed.
If Chen Xuanlu met a young man with excellent talent, he would recommend him to Shushan instead of teaching him himself.
There are not a few people like him, whose cultivation is stuck at the peak of the sixth realm, how difficult is it to break through the sky? Penance for the rest of your life may not necessarily make you enter the country again. It's better to take advantage of this time to collect apprentices to make money and enjoy the rest of life.
Belonging is thinking about it.
For these powerful disciples, cultivation is extraordinarily expensive, and most of it is spent here. It takes a lot of money to get started, and the skills and resources provided by the sect are more expensive than outside. Even the four disciples who can be selected to participate in the fairy gate conference this time may not necessarily be really excellent. , it may be that the family gave more to Master.
There are naturally good places in the world that are willing to cultivate disciples without spending money, but you are not talented enough, and those good places don’t want you, so if you want to practice, you can only join these small sects that want to make money.
"You can't just be strict with your disciples. The Immortal Gate Conference is coming soon, so we still have to give them some confidence." Wang Xuanling said to Chen Xuanlu.
"It's not that I always criticize. These disciples of my family are quite talented, but they are a bit playful." Chen Xuanlu said with a smile: "Look, I said a long time ago that I would take them to visit everyone in Shushan today. I got one, and I don’t know where to go to have fun again.”
"Xiao Liu may have something to do at home..." the female disciple argued in a low voice.
Chen Xuanlu glared at her, and she quickly lowered her head.
"This Fairy Gate Conference is different from the past. The city of Yu may not be very peaceful. I want to warn the disciples to be careful." Wang Xuanling nodded.
There may be news that the West Sea Demon Sect took this opportunity to make trouble. They have already notified the Jian Guofu, but it is not easy to spread it to the outside world, so as not to startle the snake. He didn't know how to implement the magic gate, so he could only remind him like this.
"That's true." Chen Xuanlu nodded in agreement, "The Immortal Gate Conference has not yet started, and strange things have happened frequently in Yudu City these days."
"Oh?" Wang Xuanling asked, "What's so strange?"
Chen Xuanlu looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about something I encountered personally. It's quite strange."
…
"At the foot of the mountain where my Xuanxin faction is located, there is a small lake called 'Yulongtang'." He slowly explained.
Yulongtang got its name because the water color is clear and green, and the winding shape on both sides resembles dragons. The name sounds nice, but it’s actually not big, just like Diqiu is just a small hill, and Yulongtang is just a small puddle compared to those real big lakes.
"On that day, the villagers from Zuojin suddenly came up and said that there was blood in the Yulong pond for several days, and asked me to help take a look."
Since Chen Xuanlu established a sect in a densely populated place outside the capital of Yu, it is imperative to deal with the surrounding villagers.
Yulongtang is used by the surrounding villagers on weekdays, and blood gushed out suddenly several times, which shocked many people. There are practitioners at the door of the house, they did not go into the city to invite the Jian Guofu, they found the Xuanxin Sect first.
Chen Xuanlu didn't shirk himself, and immediately agreed.
"I entered the water with a tactic, and immediately came to the water, and found that it was really bloody. After searching all the way, I found that the blood came out of an underwater cave. I entered it, and found a coffin in it ! There is a steady stream of blood gushing from the cracks in the coffin, and its shape is weird."
"I thought it was something evil, so I moved the coffin out." Chen Xuanlu continued, "When I came to the shore, the sun stopped bleeding from the coffin. With the witnesses of everyone around me, I took the coffin out. Open."
"I saw a woman's corpse in it, lifelike. I don't know when it fell into this place, and its state is peaceful as if asleep."
Speaking of this, his expression was a little nervous, as if he remembered something he was afraid of.
"It's not unusual to come here, but there is a disciple in my sect who went to the palace for a banquet with his family. He recognized the body of this corpse at a glance..."
"It looks exactly like Empress Wu!"
Good morning.
