Ranshan Sect
Chapter 71 Ranshan Sect
Lao Guo must be self-effacing. According to his experience, for things like "gathering a group of people from all walks of life to hunt for treasures in Ranshan", although the people he can find are not top-notch, they should be the ones who are somewhat famous in all walks of life. In the eyes of ordinary people, both Lao Guo and Lao Deng should be the kind of real masters.
But now it seems that people’s cultivation in this world is much more difficult than I thought. He learned the Hua Lu Bao Xia chapter from Zhao Qi, but he thought it was not a very good technique and should be suitable for ordinary people to practice, so he taught it to Xue Baoping, but she had a hard time learning it.
Looking at it this way, it may not be that her talent is too poor, but that the Hua Lu Bao Xia chapter is considered a good thing that is extremely difficult for ordinary people to access, and the threshold for practice is very high.
As for the exercises practiced by Lao Guo, they should be the kind that Zhao Qi scorned before - if you don't practice well, you will end up with the root causes of diseases and hidden dangers. It would be very rare to find someone who does not have such hidden dangers and can practice smoothly.
I used to think that the beginning of this life was pretty good, but looking at it now, it's almost perfect.
Li Wuxiang breathed out a sigh of relief and smiled at Lao Guo: "You don't need to be so nervous. I usually don't kill people when I don't want to."
Lao Guo wiped the sweat from his face: "Yes, young hero, how can you care about people like me?"
After walking for another two hours, Li Wuxiang and Lao Guo saw the mountain. A mountain range stood abruptly on the plains. At first it was just a shadow behind the dense woods. After an hour, it turned into a light blue low wall, and then its true appearance was revealed when the sun was about to tilt to the west - large tracts of mountains rising abruptly on the plains. The stone wall is reflected golden by the sunlight, and is covered with dense vegetation and lingering clouds. This is where the Ranshan Sect is located, hidden among countless peaks, large and small.
After they entered the mountain trail, there was more horse manure on the road, and the weeds on the road also showed signs of being recently trampled. After leading the horse onto a winding mountain road and turning twice, he saw the third person Li Wuxiang had met in these days.
This man was hanged from a tree on the mountain wall. He was bleeding from all his orifices. His chest and abdomen were cut open and opened. His intestines and stomach were flowing out and hanging on the ground in a sticky mess.
Li Wuxiang stopped and looked carefully, and asked Lao Guo: "What kind of custom is this in your world?"
Lao Guo looked solemn and swallowed: "This is...well, this seems to be called 'open-minded'..."
Li Wuxiang was stunned: "Hell's joke?"
"No, no, I'm not joking... I'll go take a look ahead." Lao Guo held the sword and hurriedly ran up the road. When the mountain road turned another bend, he saw the fourth person -
He was also hung on a tree, with his clothes open. The chest and abdomen were not opened, only a large incision was made, and two organs, one red and one green, hung outside - the dark green one should be the gallbladder, and the brown one should be the liver.
Li Wuxiang also took a look at the corpse: "Don't tell me this is called 'honor and courage'."
Lao Guo grimaced: "Yes... Well, young hero, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any good treasures this time."
"How to say?"
Lao Guo sighed sadly: "I told you on the way, we Jianghu people like to take advantage... It's hard for everyone to break this habit, so if a group of people get together, they will inevitably Often gets into trouble."
"Sometimes, like this time, we need to get together to do something, but if there is constant trouble, then the matter will be difficult to handle. But if there is one person in a group of people who can convince everyone, then They will ask everyone to make a temporary agreement - no one is allowed to take advantage of anyone before the matter is completed. At this time, if someone can't help but cause trouble... then he must use that person to establish his power and tell others to remember it. There is such a thing as being open-minded and courageous.”
"This is the first time I have seen this scene. I have only heard about it before. It must be Xu Xianren's method. Everyone else is convinced, so I guess..."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "The leader is cruel and arbitrarily powerful, and the benefits must also account for the majority. So you feel that you can't fish in troubled waters."
"Yes, young hero, how about we stop getting involved? If you want to see it, I will take you to another place to see it. There is also a big city nearby..."
"I just wonder if there is any hard-to-find treasure in Ranshan." Li Wuxiang pulled the reins of his horse, "Besides, I haven't seen an immortal yet."
Going further up, the road goes deep into two mountain walls. The rock walls on both sides stand tall, with solitary pines and cypresses growing on them. It is like two huge palace walls blocking the afterglow of the setting sun. It immediately makes people feel that this place is dark and unpredictable, and it suddenly feels majestic. Looking up again, I saw that the mountain road went straight up. There were steps paved with stone between the dust and weeds. There was a terrace extending to the top. When the two walked up, they saw a mountain gate.
This mountain gate is a stone building. It must have been very grand when it was built. There are three gates, one large, two small, and now, after thousands of years of erosion, only the lines on the stone can be seen vaguely. On the top of the gate are engraved four words: "However, "Cave Sky", but the writing has become very shallow.
More than a dozen horses were tied to the horse posts on both sides of the platform, and were guarded by two people. Just like what they had seen before, one was "magnanimous" and the other was "cowardly." Li Wuxiang led his horse over, found an empty one and tied his horse. He took off the luggage that Xue Baoping had packed for him from the horse and carried it on his back. He also took off his long knife and tied it around his waist. .
Walking up the wider stone steps behind the mountain gate, I finally saw a living person.
Except for the mountain gate we just saw, Ranshan Sect actually has no main gate, but only a screen wall. It is also made of blue-gray rock, with black tiles on the top. There is also a painting on the screen wall, a mountain scene with mountains, rivers, houses and palaces, embedded in the middle, but the traces on it have been eroded by wind and rain and blurred.
About thirty people gathered in front of the screen wall. Some people slightly outside were muttering something in twos and threes, and a circle of people inside surrounded the two people in the middle. When Li Wuxiang walked over, he heard a man ask: "...What did Xu Xianren tell you?"
He saw the man being questioned from the gap in the crowd. Compared with the people around him, this man was relatively young, about 27 or 28 years old, with a slightly dark complexion, thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a face full of embarrassment: "I didn't see Xu Xianren. I was just like everyone else. I heard that Xu Xianren asked people to go up the mountain to search for treasures. I was still thinking about whether to come. Suddenly, someone threw him into my yard at night-"
He pointed to the side-there was a young man sitting on the ground with his hands tied. His hair was loose, and he was wearing a short dress for working. He stared at everyone with horror.
"Then I heard people talking outside, asking me to bring him to the mountain and hand him over to the people who went up the mountain. They said that this person knew what treasures were on the mountain. I went out and didn't see anyone, so I asked who it was. The person said, 'Xu Xianren'! I brought him here-his hands were not tied by me. He was the same as when he was thrown in."
The man who asked the question turned his head and looked at the people around him. Everyone frowned. Li Wuxiang saw him clearly at this time - he was a tall and slightly fat man, who looked more muscular than Zeng Jianqiu in the past, and he was holding a stick with iron wrapped at both ends.
The strong man sighed, squatted down and grabbed the boy's face on the ground, and looked left and right: "Okay, then what kind of god are you? Do you know what other treasures are on this mountain?"
The boy was dumbfounded at this time, and was so scared that he couldn't speak. The strong man smiled: "Don't be afraid, my name is Feng Ji, and now my words are final among this group of people. Did you see the four people on the road when you came? If I don't say anything, who dares to touch you will end up like this - speak up, I will keep you safe!"
The boy whispered: "I... I used to be a disciple of Ranshan, and there is an illusion on our mountain... It's full of treasures!"
The second update will be at 8 o'clock in the morning, welcome the new leader moe33!
