I have a little bit of talent

Among the thirteen states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yangzhou was located in the center, in the middle and lower reaches of the Tianshui River, and was mostly plains.

To the west of Yangzhou is Yanzhou, which is bounded by the Luoxia Mountains. Although Yanzhou has many plains, it also has many mountains, including the Luoxia Mountains and the vast mountains where Fangmu travels.

Yizhou, to the west of Yanzhou, is famous for its many mountains. Unlike the continuous mountains in Yanzhou, the mountains in Yizhou are famous for their number. Basically, there is a peak every few dozen miles. In the entire Yizhou area, there are no less than a thousand named peaks, plus some uninhabited mountains and barren hills. There are thousands of peaks in total according to fragmentary statistics. It is truly a mountainous province.

Long before Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty conquered the world and wiped out all the demons to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yizhou was the place where various Taoist sects lived.

It is said that after the Taoist founder attained enlightenment, he traveled here and saw that this place was mountainous with beautiful scenery, which was very consistent with the Taoist idea of ​​seclusion and tranquility, so he passed down his Taoist tradition here.

Over time, various Taoist sects have been passed down.

Due to the large number of mountains, the number of demons in Yizhou far exceeds that of other large states. Fortunately, with the protection of the Taoist sects, the people of Yizhou had some way to survive before the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but their life was still hard.

It was not until Taizu wiped out the demons in the world and joined forces with the various Taoist sects in Yizhou that this beautiful land was restored to peace and tranquility.

Those evil demons and heretics were either killed or driven away from the borders of the Great Zhou.

Yizhou is different from other big states in one respect.

Because there are too many mountains in the terrain, people mostly live in the mountains, mainly in villages and towns, making it difficult to develop and build cities.

Therefore, apart from the big city of Xishan City, the capital of Yizhou, the Great Zhou court had no other official agencies in Yizhou. Instead, many sects had stations in various villages and towns to protect and manage the daily lives of the villages and towns.

This is also the only major province among the Thirteen Provinces of the Great Zhou that mainly relies on the sects for self-governance. The sects, led by the three Taoist holy places of Baiyun Temple on Qingxu Peak, Wangchen Sect on Ziyang Peak, and Sword Sect on Luojian Mountain, have formed a sect alliance to handle all major and minor affairs within Yizhou.

The Liehuo Sect where Boss Mo is located is one of the members of this sect alliance. It has a huge influence and many masters, and its status is only second to the three major Taoist holy places.

Since Fang Mu had promised Boss Mo and his friends to come to the Liehuo Sect, he couldn't break the promise. Moreover, he set out three days later than the others, so he didn't stop for long along the way. Apart from his daily routine of practice, he spent all his time on the road.

He had also agreed to Fang Lu's plan to measure the world on foot, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains in Yizhou and the customs and practices of various villages and towns along the way, so his speed was not fast. If Fang Mu had used all his strength to ride the wind, he could have reached the Liehuo Sect in one day.

Even so, Fang Mu traveled very quickly. In just five days, he had traveled hundreds of miles into Yizhou and was about to reach Yunding Mountain where the Liehuo Sect was located.

At this time, Fang Mu was resting in a teahouse in a village at the foot of Yunding Mountain. The teahouse was not far from the foot of Yunding Mountain. Looking up, he saw that the top of Yunding Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, as if someone really was using the mountain as a cauldron to refine elixirs.

The Liehuo Sect is a major sect in Yizhou, with thousands of disciples. The sect's unique martial art, the Heart Sutra of Burning All Things, is one of the most important magical skills in the world, not inferior to the many true skills of the three religions. When practiced to the extreme, it has the ability to burn all things and be reborn from the fire. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a very profound heritage.

The Yunding Mountain where it is located is also one of the few large mountains in Yizhou. It is over a thousand feet high and covers an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius.

There are dozens of villages and towns around that are also under the jurisdiction of the Liehuo Sect. The village where Fang Mu lives is called Mojia Village. It is closest to Yunding Mountain and is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Liehuo Sect.

I don’t know why, but Yunding Mountain is located deep in Yizhou, and apart from the indigenous people, there should be few people coming here.

However, the teahouse in Mojia Village where Fang Mu was resting was full of guests.

It was obvious that these people were all from other places, and Fang Mu had even seen some of them before on the road. Although they were only a brief encounter, Fang Mu still remembered them in his heart.

I thought these people were just ordinary passers-by passing by Yunding Mountain.

But now it seems that these people are all coming for the Liehuo Sect.

Fang Mu did not conceal his figure along the way, so these people recognized Fang Mu as the person they met halfway before.

Seeing Fang Mu here, several people smiled and nodded to greet him.

What is even more strange is that the local residents of Mojia Village, especially the waiter who owns the teahouse, were not surprised by the arrival of these people. Instead, they greeted them warmly and showed no fear of strangers at all.

You have to know that these people are all practicing cultivation, and many of them are carrying weapons.

Ordinary people would probably avoid it, but the people in Mo Village are used to it.

The visitors were all gentle in their attitude and were extremely polite to the locals, with smiles on their faces as they spoke.

"Brother, are you here for the Fiery Flame Sect's opening ceremony as well?

"You are traveling alone through the mountains and forests. I believe you must have profound cultivation skills."

After those people greeted Fang Mu with a smile and a nod, the leader, a middle-aged man with a long sword, bowed and asked.

The man was quite tall, with a simple and honest look on his face. Although the long sword behind him was hidden by a scabbard, Fang Mu could still sense the fierce sword intent it exuded.

This long sword is actually a magical weapon!

Fang Mu had already discovered this when he met these people before, and he couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

You have to know that magic weapons are not comparable to ordinary weapons. Even in Dushan City, which is known as the city of weapon forging, they are extremely rare. Mr. Tong, the head of the Tong family, the first weapon forging family, caused a lot of trouble for the magic weapon, the Red Flame Sword, but ended up in a miserable defeat in the end.

In the Yizhou area, although there are many sects, magical weapons should be even rarer.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving Dushan City, I saw another magical weapon. Although its aura was not as strong as Tianli's, it was not inferior to Chiyan's.

This also aroused Fang Mu's curiosity. He was in a hurry before and didn't want to disturb him rashly. The man's question at this time was exactly what Fang Mu was thinking.

"Thank you for your compliment, big brother. My name is Zhao Ming, I come from the Yanzhou Iron Fist Sect. I came to the Fiery Flame Sect at the invitation of a friend, but I have never heard of the opening ceremony. I can only say that I happened to meet here by chance.

"You all look very impressive, you must be from famous families."

Fang Mu casually reported the Iron Fist Sect's alias and tried to find out the origins of these people.

“So you’re the hero of the Iron Fist Sect. Although we are far away in Yizhou, we have already heard of the name of Sect Master Han.

"I am Mo Qingyang from the Sword Sect. I am invited to come here to watch the opening ceremony of the Fiery Flame Sect."

The Iron Fist Sect's vest was indeed useful. When Mo Qingyang heard that Fang Mu was from the Iron Fist Sect, his attitude became more friendly and he introduced his group to Fang Mu.
