Shushan sect is located in the high mountains in Western Sichuan. The mountains are steep and difficult to travel. Ordinary people can't get here without the protection of immortal array.
On this trip to Shushan, Gu Zheng took more than a dozen Emei disciples, including Gu An, in addition to the two elders of worry free and worry free. Despite the decline of Emei, it is easier to make jokes when there are fewer people at the grand gathering of branches and sects in Shushan.
Shushan is a real big sect. Its lower branches include Emei sect, Qingcheng sect, Ziyun palace, Lingjian sect and situ family.
Among the several branches, the most powerful is the Lingjian sect, followed by the Qingcheng sect, followed by the most mysterious Ziyun palace, the situ family rooted in the secular world, and finally Emei, where Gu Zheng is located.
The ranking conference among Shushan branches is held every ten years. According to common sense, since it is a ranking conference, there must be a reward corresponding to the ranking.
There are two kinds of rewards for ranking, but neither of them is a substantive cultivation resource. Among these two awards, the most important one is the qualification to enter the "Shu ruins" in Shushan.
Shu ruins is a separate space. It is said that it is a battlefield of the war between good and evil in the era of Sheng Fa. Later, due to various reasons, the Shu ruins were closed and can be opened once every ten years. Each time, the opening time is only one month, and the number of people who can enter is 30.
There are also mountains and water in the Shu ruins. The environment is like a deep mountain and old forest where no one has set foot. Many of them are rare birds and spirits.
Those who enter the Shu ruins do not want to cultivate in it, but to seize the time to find various cultivation resources within a month.
Born at the end of the law when all kinds of cultivation materials were scarce, Shu ruins is undoubtedly an attractive treasure for practitioners.
A person can only enter Shu ruins once in his life. If he wants to enter again, he will be excluded by the laws of Shu ruins and cannot enter.
Although there are no restrictions on the cultivation level of practitioners in the Shu ruins, it is not a safe place, so the cultivation level of those who can enter the Shu ruins from all sects and factions should be at least above the fourth floor.
Among the 30 places in the Shu market, the Shushan sect accounts for 15 fixed places. As for the other 15 places, although Shushan no longer participates in the competition, its branch sects need to be obtained through ranking.
According to the ranking, there are five places in the first sect, four places in the second, three places in the third, two places in the fourth and one place in the last.
Emei was once brilliant and occupied five places for a long time, but the number of places gradually declined. Emei has always been at the bottom of the ranking conference since the memory of Wuyou and Wuyou elders. The only place that can enter the Shu ruins is the very poor one.
It is precisely because of the decline that Emei sect withdrew from the competition for ranking long before the two elders of Wuyou and Wuyou, as long as it was the last place to secure the bottom. Another important reason for this situation is that it is related to the rules of ranking competition.
Competing for ranking is a challenge. If you want to get more places, you can only challenge the front school. In such a challenge, three people need to be sent to fight against the three of the challenged sects and decide whether to advance by winning two of three games.
Although the level of immortal practitioners is limited and can not participate in the competition, Emei sect is undoubtedly very embarrassed in the face of such a ranking system. As early as the two elders of worry free and worry free, they can't even gather three practitioners on the fifth floor at a time, while other sects corresponding to Emei, basically more than three practitioners in the later stage of the fifth floor.
After walking through the mountains for a long time, Gu Zheng and others finally arrived at their destination.
There is a fog ahead, which belongs to the mountain guarding array. Even if some explorers come here, they will get lost once they enter.
Normally, when you go to Shushan mountain, you need to shout out your identity outside the array. However, it is now a grand ranking event. Shushan has also arranged special receiving disciples, so that as soon as Gu Zheng and other talents arrived, a Taoist child came out of the fog to meet them.
Follow the Taoist boy into the array. After five minutes of seven turns and eight turns, the line of sight finally opened up. The fog that originally blocked the sky and the sun completely disappeared. The Qingshi Mountain Gate in front of Gu Zheng and others was nine feet high, on which the two big characters [Shu mountain] were strongly engraved.
Looking in through the mountain gate, an invisible long blue stone step seems to lead to the top of the mountain, and all the plants and trees in the Mountain Gate look greener than those in the outside world.
The air is so fresh that people can't help but want to take a deep breath. Several unknown birds fly in from the gate of the mountain with long colored tail feathers. Their calls are crisp and melodious, adding a sense of immortality to the Shushan mountain.
"Headmaster martial uncle, how do you feel?"
Looking at Gu Zheng's slightly intoxicated deep breath, the guide boy smiled and asked.
"Although it was the end of the law, Shushan is still a rare and beautiful place between heaven and earth. This alone is not comparable to Emei."
Although Tao Tong's smile has a proud element, Gu Zheng is still telling the truth.
"I haven't been to Emei, but the head martial uncle must be honest. He is much more honest than some sects."
Obviously, he was very satisfied with Gu Zheng's answer, and the smile on Tao Tong's face became thicker.
"Lead the way!"
Seeing that Tao Tong seemed to want to talk to Gu Zheng again, elder wuchou urged him.
Tao Tong is only 11 or 12 years old. Although he grew up in the heavily disciplined Shushan mountain, he is still childish in his bones. Seeing that Gu Zheng is not old, he is the leader of a school and always talks like he is kind. He doesn't look like the school leaders he received before. Tao Tong always talks to Gu Zheng intentionally or unintentionally along the way, During this period, it seems to reveal a sense of curiosity about the outside world.
The crowd continued to follow the Taoist children up the stairs. There was still a quiet landscape in front of them. There was no such joy as holding a grand event in the secular world. The quiet of Shushan seemed to remain unchanged from ancient times. As people kept climbing, a refreshing fragrance in the air gradually became clear.
"Hoo Hoo..."
Gu Zheng couldn't help but stop and savor the strange fragrance in the air.
"What's the matter, master?"
Elder wuchou's cultivation is still in the middle of the fifth floor. It is reasonable to say that if there is any special smell in the air, he will be one step ahead of Gu. But what he didn't know was that Gu Zheng's five senses had been strengthened by the wishes of 50000 people, and it was not only the sense of smell that was sharper than him.
"Does the headmaster smell a refreshing fragrance?"
If elder Wuyou realized something, Taoist boy's eyes widened. Although he was young, he lived in a sect like Shushan. He was influenced by a lot of things on weekdays.
"The fragrance of youtan incense in Shushan mountain spreads for eight miles and burns for a day. Only when the leader succeeds to the throne or such a grand event, will Shushan burn a furnace of youtan incense every day to show solemnity. This place still belongs to the edge of youtan incense, and the leader's martial uncle can smell it? The cultivation accomplishments of those who can smell youtan incense here should be at least the middle and later stage of the fifth floor!"
"I have a talent for smell. I'm not surprised to smell it."
Gu Zheng made a ha ha, and then turned off the topic: "however, Shushan youtan incense is really very special. This is the best incense I've ever smelled. The fragrance is elegant but not greasy, and can float so far. This is not comparable to secular incense!"
Although it is a digression, Gu Zheng also sincerely regrets that the fragrance is floating for eight miles, which has caught up with his extremely fragrant chicken blood soup.
"What the head martial uncle said is very good. I, I appreciate you very much!"
Tao Tong is naturally proud of Shu mountain. Any praise of Shu mountain by Gu Zheng makes him feel very comfortable. What's more, Gu Zheng was able to smell the smell of incense here, which was beyond his expectation. When he heard Gu Zheng's sincere comments, he was so excited that he couldn't find the right words for a moment and jumped out the word "appreciation".
Gu Zheng couldn't help laughing, but elder wuchou glared at Taoist boy.
"Hey, hey..."
Similarly, Tao Tong, who found that his words were inappropriate, put out his tongue at the people, and then looked at Gu Zheng again.
"Master martial uncle, you are a good man, but you should be careful in this ranking meeting. Someone wants to target you Emei!"
"Who wants to target Emei?"
Tao Tong's whispered words made Gu Zheng frown.
"Martial uncle leader is very nice. I'll tell you directly. However, martial uncle leader, you can't tell others that I told you about it!" the Taoist boy looked at Gu Zheng and looked forward to it.
"Don't worry, I won't let outsiders know." seeing Gu Zheng nodding solemnly, daotong whispered.
After hearing what the Taoist boy said, Gu Zheng's face changed slightly and gave a cold hum. But just when he wanted to ask Tong something more, a man's voice sounded above the steps.
"Younger martial brother Yufeng, the guests can be sent here. The rest will be led by the elder martial brother. Go back to the foot of the mountain and wait!"
The speaker was a Taoist in his thirties. He stood at the top of the steps. When Gu Zheng stopped and smelled youtan incense, he had seen him.
"Yes, senior brother yuluan!"
The Taoist boy made a salute to the top, then made a salute to Gu Zheng and others, and then walked towards the future.
After Yufeng daotong left, Gu Zheng and others continued to move forward with yuluan Taoists. Different people came to meet him in different areas, which is also a grand way of hospitality in Shushan.
However, yuluan's character is obviously different from Yufeng's. This person rarely talks and has a cold face, just as others owe him money.
As soon as Taoist yuluan sent them away, he sent them to a resting place.
All the guest rooms in Shushan are on the hillside, which is still a long way from the top of the mountain, and the core of Shushan is naturally on the top of the mountain, where there are 90% of the buildings in Shushan. From a distance, the antique carved beams and painted buildings towering in the clouds give people a mirage like dream feeling.
"Headmaster, what did Yufeng daotong tell you on the steps?"
In the guest room, carefree elder couldn't help asking.
"Qingcheng sect is going to target us..."
Gu Zheng told the worry free elders what Yufeng Taoist child said.
"It's really a troublesome thing, but it's not without countermeasures. It seems that I brought it right!"
Elder wuchou smiled bitterly and took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from his luggage.
Before staying long at his residence, Gu Zheng took the disciples of Emei sect to the top of the mountain to see the leader of Shushan.
During this grand meeting, the leaders of Shushan and most elders also stayed in the hall. After Gu Zheng and others passed, a greeting was inevitable.
"Headmaster, how do you feel?"
Out of the hall, elder wuchou asked.
Several Emei leaders before Gu Zheng can be described as "premature death". Their time as leaders is too short for a sect.
Due to the decline of the sect, low self-cultivation, and the short time as the leader, there is no aura that the leader should have. Even being the leader is driven to the shelves. Various reasons have created self-confidence, so that during a grand meeting, the leader of Emei made a fool of himself in the hall, and the whole person collapsed directly when he walked out of the hall.
"Not bad!"
Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled. He naturally understood why elder wuchou asked.
Shushan is a real big sect. There are many frightening elders in the later stage of the fifth floor. Even immortal practitioners can be seen in the hall.
Many strong people naturally lead to the depression of the atmosphere in the hall. In addition, some strong people talk with thorns and other episodes. The previous leader will collapse after walking out of the hall door, which is completely understandable by the ancient dispute.
In terms of accomplishments alone, Gu Zheng is on a par with the disgraced leader, but Gu Zheng is a real immortal. In his heart, he doesn't pay too much attention to the strong people who are superior. Therefore, although some people's words are thorny this time, the ancient dispute is still talking and laughing in an unassuming manner, and the pressure is naturally not to mention.
"Headmaster, those people didn't speak well just now. You..."
"It's all right. I'm not angry."
Gu Zheng interrupted the words of carefree elder and showed him a clear smile.
Respect the strong. This is the rule of survival wherever you are. Although some people in Shushan don't like to listen, who makes Emei really have no capital to be valued? Although Gu Zheng is angry, he will not be impulsive to fight against Shushan because of this.
"Go, hide the sword peak!"
Do not want to say more on the last issue, Gu Zheng waved and walked forward.
There are many strange peaks and beautiful stones with ghost axes on Shushan mountain, and among these attractions, the most famous is "Tibetan sword peak".
The Shushan mountain in the Sheng Fa era was indeed a Sword Fairy sect, and the strange rocky and steep Tibetan sword peak was indeed filled with many flying swords.
The flying swords inserted on the Tibetan sword peak are not visible to people. They are a treasure left by the sword casting masters of Shushan in the era of Sheng Fa for future disciples.
Every Shu mountain disciple has the opportunity to climb Tibetan sword peak twice in his life to look for flying sword.
The first opportunity was to climb the "Fan Jian area" of Zang Jian peak to look for flying swords after ten years of entry.
The second chance is to climb the Tibetan sword peak for the second time and go to the "spirit sword area" to look for flying swords after 30 years of entry or after the cultivation reaches the five-level level level.
The Fan Jian area of Zang Jian peak is in the lower part of the mountain, and the flying sword is called Fan Jian. But even ordinary swords are still not comparable to the current sword making technology. When the cultivator's cultivation level reaches a certain level, they are flying swords that can carry people.
The spirit sword area of Tibetan sword peak is at the top of the mountain. The flying swords are all fairy weapons of various grades, which can make the practitioners drool.
However, there are very few people who can harvest flying swords from it, whether in Fanjian area or Lingjian area. The way to harvest the flying sword is also very simple. Either the flying sword automatically selects the master, or pull it out of the rock.
"Elder, ordinary cultivators may not be able to pull out the flying sword, but what if someone at the level of an immortal, or someone who doesn't belong to Shushan at all, forcibly pull out the flying sword?"
Gu'an also went to Shushan for the first time. He also had all kinds of curiosity about Tibetan sword peak.
"Tibetan sword peak has spirit. It is not a disciple of Shushan mountain. It can't get close to Tibetan sword peak at all."
"In the history of the end of the law, there was indeed an evil cultivation who reached the realm of returning to emptiness. He climbed the Tibetan sword peak and pulled out a flying sword. However, at the moment he pulled out the flying sword, his whole person was twisted into meat and mud by the sword spirit burst from the Tibetan sword peak!"
"At this point, the good and evil factions no longer doubt that the Tibetan sword peak is actually a huge immortal weapon refined by powerful people. When the Shu mountain is in danger of being destroyed, the flying swords on the whole Tibetan sword peak will fly out to resist the enemy. It will be frightening to think of the scene of sword rain all over the sky!"
Carefree elder gave an answer, and his words shocked the disciples who didn't know the legend.
"There is Chaos Tower in Emei and hidden sword peak in Shushan. If this level of immortal weapon can be controlled by people, how terrible its power should be!"
Looking at the Tibetan sword peak hidden in the fog in front, the shock in Gu Zheng's heart can't subside for a long time.
As a branch of Shushan mountain, Emei also has the opportunity to set foot on Tibetan sword peak. However, this opportunity is different from the requirements of Shushan disciples to set foot on Tibetan sword peak.
In common sense, branch disciples also have the opportunity to set foot on Tibetan sword peak twice. However, the opportunity to set foot on Tibetan Jianfeng twice is during the ten-year event, and Tibetan Jianfeng is not open to the outside world for the rest of the time.
During the ten-year event, Shu Mountain Branch disciples who have never set foot on Tibetan sword peak and have reached the level of four layers have a chance to set foot in the Fanjian area of Tibetan sword peak. The second chance to set foot on Tibetan sword peak is related to the ten-year event!
During the ten-year event, there are two kinds of ranking rewards for branch sects: one is the number of places to enter the Shu market, and the other is related to Zang Jianfeng.
First of all, the sect ranking first in the branch has a chance to select one person to enter the spirit sword area of Tibetan sword peak, and this person must be one of the three people participating in the ranking competition. In other words, through the ranking of sects, there is only one place in the spirit sword area of Tibetan sword peak among the branch sects every ten years!
Secondly, every time the Shu ruins are opened, all branches and sects need to gain something from the Shu mountain after leaving the Shu ruins.. The minimum standard of paying harvest is well completed in it, unless the whole army is destroyed and none of them comes out.
Also, every time you leave the Shu ruins, the sect that pays the most tribute will also be qualified to climb the Lingjian area of Tibetan sword mountain!
It sounds very simple for the branch sects to set foot in zangjian mountain, but everyone is very afraid. In addition to limiting the number of branch sects, it can also be said to be a big pit to some extent.
Tibetan sword peak is not far from the main hall. It is also located on the top of the mountain. When Gu Zheng and others were close to Tibetan sword peak, eight people came from another road to the top of the mountain.
Among the eight, there are four female members, all dressed in white classical gauze. In addition, the four women, regardless of their appearance or figure, all belong to the goddess level in the outside world. Although they look not young, three of them are like little young women, and the other looks more than thirty, this does not prevent them from shining.
However, the real reason for people to open their eyes is not their beauty, but the three young women. They are very rare triplets, and the similarity is also very high.
Out of politeness, Gu Zheng and others have stopped waiting for the arrival of the eight people below.
"These women should be from Ziyun palace?"
Looking at several Yingyan below, Gu Zhengsheng asked.
Among the branches of Shushan, Ziyun palace is the most mysterious one, and its disciples are mainly women. They rarely communicate with other branches. They are good at dodging armor and are proficient in the art of Yin, Yang and five elements.
"Back to the headmaster, they are indeed from Ziyun palace. The older one is elder Xiaofeng of Ziyun palace. As for the other three, we don't have their information. However, the headmaster doesn't see that these women are young. Ziyun palace has always been talented. The older elder Xiaofeng is 20 years older than me!"
Carefree elder answered, and some disciples immediately showed shock in their eyes.
Elder Wuyou is full of crane hair, but elder Xiaofeng, 20 years older than him, is still as beautiful as a goddess, which is really a bit too evil.
"Elder martial brother is right. The leader must have heard of XX brand cosmetics. In fact, the real master behind them is the disciple of Ziyun palace."
The words added by elder wuchou made Gu Zheng open his eyes.
Naturally, Gu Zheng has heard of XX brand cosmetics. It is the leading brand in the cosmetics industry. I didn't expect that the behind the scenes owner of such a foreign brand is the most mysterious disciple of Ziyun palace.
"Headmaster, the other men are members of the secular situ family. The elder leader is called situ Chengwei. As for the younger generation, I know two people, one is called situ Mingguo and the other is situ Mingjun. When the grand meeting opened ten years ago, they came with the elders of the family, their accomplishments were already in the late fourth floor. At that time, these two people, There are also shangzang Jianfeng to take a chance, but they also get nothing. "
"At this grand event, the number of places for the situ family to enter the Shu ruins may have been set for the situ Ming state and the situ Ming army. As for the other younger generation, it seems that situ Cong, a genius of the situ family, has reached the fourth floor at the age of 35, and his cultivation in the middle of the fourth floor is indeed commendable."
When elder wuchou told Gu Zheng about this, the eyes of situ Mingguo and situ Mingjun also looked at Emei, including a fleeting contempt. As for situ Chengwei, he looked like he was on his way, and situ Cong just laughed with the triplets in Ziyun palace and didn't look at Emei at all.
Situ family is the most worldly branch of Shushan. After their ancestors left Shushan, they immediately took refuge in the imperial court at that time. Since then, there always seemed to be members of the situ family around the imperial power of all dynasties! Only from the mortal world, situ family is definitely a family that people can't afford to offend.
"Xiaofeng Daoyou, brother situ, are you all right?"
Several people at the foot of the mountain have come near and worry free elder holds his fist and opens his mouth.
"Be all right!"
Elder Xiaofeng and situ Chengwei saluted with fists.
"This is Gu Zheng, the new leader of Emei."
Closely following the introduction of carefree elder, Gu Zheng also saluted them with fists: "two elders, I've heard a lot!"
Etiquette has actually been diluted a lot in this era, but these people in front of us are all in the same vein of Shushan. Some etiquette should still be available.
Usually, the default generation is the leader's peers. According to this unwritten rule, the generation of Gu Zheng is indeed lower than that of elder Xiaofeng and situ Chengwei.
"It's the ancient leader. Nice to meet you."
Situ Chengwei turned his eyes up and said something faintly.
"The new leader of Emei is getting younger and younger. I hope the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"
Elder Xiaofeng frowned slightly and sighed at the end of his speech.
Gu Zheng took over as the leader of Emei. Although he did not inform his fellow disciples of a big banquet, elder Wuyou still arranged a letter notice for Shushan and several other branches. Therefore, they are not special strangers to Gu Zheng.
"Ziyun palace disciples have seen the ancient leader."
"Situ's disciples have seen the ancient leader."
Since elder Wuyou introduced Gu Zheng on such a relatively formal occasion, Ziyun palace and several other people of situ family also saluted Gu Zheng.
In the face of the younger generation's salute, on the surface, they smiled and nodded, but there was a trace of unhappiness in their hearts.
Growing up in the secular world, Gu Zheng is not a formal person. Since the etiquette at special times is essential, at least on the surface, is it to be sincere? Just as he saluted elder Xiaofeng and situ Chengwei just now, his behavior and expression were very appropriate.
But when the three women in Ziyun palace saw the ceremony, their eyes were very irregular, giving Gu Zheng the feeling that they were looking at a plush toy hidden in the window. As for situ Cong, he was so lazy that he didn't want to be polite.
"Ling Xue, Ling Yu and Ling Bing, are you too presumptuous? Even if the ancient leader is tender, he is also your martial uncle generation. Apologize to the ancient leader immediately!"
Elder Xiaofeng drank hard, while the triplets stuck out their tongues.
"Please make atonement, ancient leader!"
"Ha ha..."
If it is on a normal occasion, in the face of this situation, Gu Zheng must be a "nothing", but today's environment is different. It seems better to look at urchins with a smile and shake your head.
Sure enough, Gu Zheng's reaction was beyond the expectation of the triplets. One of them even secretly stared at Gu Zheng, and then they all stood beside elder Xiaofeng.
For elder Xiaofeng, Gu Zheng has a good impression. As for the situ family, their impression of Gu Zheng was really terrible. Let alone the smile of Gu Zheng just now, they all frowned, and their eyes were full of disapproval of his leader's identity.
"Hum."
The unkindness of situ's family is not unique today. Elder wuchou, who has a bad temper, couldn't help but snort coldly.
Elder wuchou's cold hum made situ Chengwei frown tighter.
However, his frown soon loosened again, and situ Chengwei, who turned his eyes, smiled unkindly.
"Wuchou, it seems that you are going to hide Jianfeng. Why? This time, you just stood and watched the excitement?"
During the last grand meeting, Emei sect did not meet the requirements of climbing Tibetan sword peak, but their watching caused a lot of ridicule. If we hadn't found Gu Zheng as the leader this year, Emei sect would not be close to this sad place during this grand meeting.
"You..."
Elder wuchou just wanted to say something, but the voice of Gu Zheng also sounded.
"Watch the excitement? No, no, the elder's idea is too simple."
Gu Zheng looked at situ Chengwei with wide eyes and shook his head. It seemed that he was shocked by situ Chengwei's idea.
"Puff..."
One of the triplets couldn't help laughing. After being glared at by elder Xiaofeng, he quickly lowered his head and looked at his toes.
"It's a big news that Emei has been able to produce a disciple with four levels in recent years! But it's a pity that no one in Emei has been able to enter the four levels in the past ten years. Does it mean that the ancient leader has entered the four levels at a young age? Or does Emei want to move a stool and sit under the leadership of the ancient leader instead of standing and watching the excitement Watch the excitement? If leader Gu really wants to do this, my previous idea is really too simple! "
Situ Chengwei was very angry and laughed back. With his ridicule, several members of the situ family also laughed "heartily".
"The idea of the elder is simple, and the idea of the elder is really simple enough. Move a stool to watch the excitement. It is estimated that only the elder who is so simple will give birth to this idea. Who stipulates that if you are young, you can't enter the fourth level?"
Situ Chengwei's accomplishments are good, but Gu Zheng is not afraid to offend him. Besides, unless it is a feud sect like Qingcheng, this bickering friction is not something that happens to several other sects. At least in this Shu mountain, it will not evolve into any armed conflict.
