[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Go away, don't disturb my ascension

Having done a "good thing", Ji Kaiqing hurried back in the direction he came from just now. Ling Junzi probably drank a lot of tea at that tea stand, Ji Kaiqing glanced at the time in the upper right corner.It has been almost an hour since he and Ling Junzi parted ways, and Ling Junzi was able to sit alone at the tea stand.

From the time when he and Ling Junzi were about to go directly to Mudan Town, Ji Kaiqing emphasized this purpose in his mind. After so many years, Kaiqing had already figured out what the opportunity to form a team was, so the two of them quickly formed a team Ji Kaiqing was not surprised at all.

Opened the mini-map and took a look at Ling Junzi's location. Ji Kaiqing changed back to the Taixu disciple uniform he had been wearing all the time when he didn't find anyone around him. direction to fly.

Ling Junzi may have sensed the position of the jade pendant on Ji Kaiqing's body that belonged to him, so Ji Kaiqing saw Ling Junzi standing under the opposite tree as soon as Ji Kaiqing came out of the forest.

"Brother, I kept you waiting!" Ji Kaiqing walked up to Ling Junzi in two or three steps, and smiled at him, "We can go to Peony Town now."

Ling Junzi's eyes fell on the sword behind Ji Kaiqing, and what he said was completely different from what Ji Kaiqing imagined: "You are not injured?"

"what?"

"I feel that you have drawn your sword." Ling Junzi withdrew his gaze from the black scabbard, and glanced at Ji Kaiqing, "It's fine if nothing happens."

Ji Kaiqing immediately remembered the "online notification" that appeared inexplicably. If Ling Junzi "felt" that he drew his sword because of this online notification, does it mean that there are still people who can feel this online notification?

Thinking about it this way, he asked, "How did senior brother feel that I had drawn my sword?"

Ling Junzi threw Ji Kaiqing's burden back into his arms, straightened his sleeves before answering: "It's so loud, it's strange that you can't feel it, right?"

Ji Kaiqing: "..."

The movement was indeed quite big, and they all said "Try the world today, who is more comparable", Ji Kaiqing glanced at the online notification that was still stuck in the system message bar with a complicated face. "Should only senior brother be able to feel it?"

"Not necessarily." Ling Junzi seemed to know what Ji Kaiqing was asking, with a smile in his eyes, "Who knows who knows that you are holding Tianyi Fengyunyang."

Ji Kaiqing didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. Is there any necessary connection between knowing the sword in his hand and feeling his use of the sword? ?

"In the future, you can learn it by yourself. I have held this sword for too long, and I have long forgotten what will happen." Ling Junzi stretched out his hand to straighten Ji Kaiqing's bundle that was tied around his body, "If you don't run out of time, it will be too late. We have to arrive an hour before the nightfall in Mudan Town."

Using the "two instruments and four images" non-stop all the way, I arrived outside Mudan Town at one o'clock in the afternoon.The last time Ji Kaiqing came here, he and Yu Daiyan entered through another entrance. There was nothing special about that entrance, it was just a big stone gate with the words "Peony Town" on it, and there was something like a boundary marker next to it. .

But now in front of him is a bridge, this bridge is very simple, that is, several piers are built with long wooden boards, and there is not even a guardrail beside it.Ji Kaiqing walked to the bridge and took a look under the bridge. There was neither a river nor a cliff below. The distance between the bottom of the bridge and the top was two or three meters.Under the bridge is sandy soil where not a single blade of grass grows, as if someone dug a ravine ten meters wide and two or three meters deep in the direction of Mudan Town.

Looking from the left to the right, the gully is an arc around Mudan Town.

"Why is there such a deep depression here...? Brother, was there a fortress here in Peony Town before?" Otherwise, what is the purpose of digging so deep?

Ling Junzi had already set foot on the bridge, he stopped and waited for Ji Kaiqing: "No, if you want to talk about the fortress, it should be Hongshi Gorge further west."

"However, why do you think these are man-made?"

Ji Kaiqing walked up to Ling Junzi, and walked towards the other side of the bridge with him: "Otherwise, why would it just go around Mudan Town... No way..."

Seeing that Ji Kaiqing had come to his senses, Ling Junzi couldn't help but chuckled.

These must be man-made, and indeed they are also for defense, but the defense is not the outsiders, but the inside... I don't know what.

He no longer dared to say whether the people staying inside were human.

Following Ling Junzi across the bridge, Ji Kaiqing looked at the stone gate that also had the words "Peony Town" written on it, and subconsciously set himself a [Speedy True Art], Ling Junzi looked over with slightly bent eyes: "Why? , are you going to turn around and run away when you encounter something wrong?"

Ji Kaiqing nodded confidently: "Otherwise, if there is something I can't do about it now, if I don't run away, I will wait for my next life to avenge myself!"

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Junzi stretched out his hand and patted the back of Ji Kaiqing's head, "Brother must be 100% sure to bring you here."

That's what I said, but if everything was under everyone's control, the word "accident" wouldn't appear.

"Hurry up, or it will be night in Peony Town in a while." Ling Junzi looked up at the sky and said.

His words made Ji Kaiqing couldn't help but look up at the sky, and then deliberately glanced at the current time.He was a little speechless: "It's just past noon now, why did it enter the night in a short while, brother, do you want to get rid of me quickly so that you can look back?"

"Today is the [-]th, and the nights of the [-]th and [-]th in Mudan Town will be very long." Ling Junzi stretched out his hand to pull Ji Kaiqing, avoiding the carriage coming from behind, "I thought you already knew. "

There is basically no news about Mudan Town in Ji Kaiqing's place. His only impression of Mudan Town is what Yu Daiyan said, "Don't come to Mudan Town if you have nothing to do." He also obeyed this warning very seriously. Ji Kaiqing Qing has never been here in the past ten years.

He and Ling Junzi were walking on the streets of Mudan Town, and the vendors on the street were always being watched by Ji Kaiqing, perhaps because his gaze was too obvious.A peddler with a lot of jars in front of him waved at Ji Kaiqing: "The honey brew in Peony Town is a must, sweeter than honey, do you want some?"

Ji Kaiqing stopped in his tracks, and looked down at the jars in front of him.These jars are very common and can be seen everywhere, such as the one on the far right that he also saw when he was in Wudang.Because of his lowering his head, the peddler deliberately lifted the cover in front of Ji Kaiqing, so that Ji Kaiqing could see more clearly.

Inside the jar was the honey wine from Peony Town. As soon as the lid was lifted, Ji Kaiqing smelled a sweet wine smell.He heard what the peddler said to him: "Young man, you can try it, it doesn't cost any money, my Zheng Wuliang's family's honey brewed peony town is good for everyone, only this one, there is no other colony! Peony flowers unique to Peony Town are added to this honey brew, and all the stamens are used in the best flowering period! And there are people from outside who come to me to make reservations. Out of town for delivery!"

Ji Kaiqing was a little interested at first, but when he heard that it added peony stamens from Mudan Town, he immediately wanted to wave his hand and refuse.As a result, Ling Junzi suddenly agreed: "The honey brew in Peony Town is really delicious, and I haven't drunk it for several years, so let's go to the smallest altar over there."

The peddler named Zheng Wuliang responded happily, turned around and went to get the small altar of honey wine for Ling Junzi: "If the hero wants to stay in Peony Town for a while, remember to return the jar to me after drinking it. Return the money to the hero altar," he reached out and handed the small altar that he could hold with one hand to Ling Junzi, waiting for Ling Junzi to give him the money, "My stall has not moved for more than ten years, Mudan Town People from all over the world buy honey brew from me."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Kaiqing heard someone behind him greet Zheng Wuliang, and the person called Boss Zheng, saying that he asked Zheng Wuliang to leave him a jar and come over to get it later.This sentence made Ji Kaiqing look back, the person shouting on the other side of the street was wearing red and black soft armor, holding a sword in his hand.He didn't wear a helmet, but tied a red belt on his forehead. He looked like he was in his 30s, and he was very energetic.

"That's the guard of our town, Master Huai Zhen," Zheng Wuliang responded and introduced to Ji Kaiqing and Ling Junzi, "Although there are mountains and forests not far from our town, but because Master Huai Zhen and his The subordinates are stationed in Peony Town, so there are neither bandits nor beasts, Peony Town, it is extremely safe!"

Compared with the haste of coming to Peony Town for the first time and the cautiousness of Yu Daiyan's words, Ji Kaiqing now has a little more research on the Peony Town in front of him.The Peony Town he sees now is no different from the thousands of small towns he has seen. There are friendly townspeople, and at the tea stalls on the street, he heard a few women say that some parents are short-sighted, peaceful and warm.

He followed Ling Junzi from the only ancestral hall in the center of Mudan Town to the gate of a courtyard.Ling Junzi held the altar of honey wine and signaled Ji Kaiqing to come forward and knock on the door. Like other houses in Peony Town, the door of this house was planted with yellow and red peonies, which looked very beautiful when clustered together.

After knocking twice, someone inside responded loudly, and then the door was opened from the inside.The man saw Ling Junzi bent down and bowed deeply: "Master Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time, I never thought I would see you again in this life."

Ling Junzi looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him and handed out the honey wine in his hand, and walked in with Ji Kaiqing: "It's been a long time since I saw you, probably for decades? The Hua family is now your head ah."

The old man surnamed Hua took the honey brew, feeling a little melancholy in his heart: "I saw a real person for the first time, but I was only five or six years old. When my grandfather and father left, I always wanted to see you again. I didn't have any hope at all. , It’s a pity that my grandson has always known that there is a real Taixuguan, but he has never seen it.”

"This is also the last time I come here. This is my junior brother Ji Kaiqing." Ling Junzi introduced Ji Kaiqing who was looking at the yard to the old man who was full of emotion. Kaiqing, let's meet your grandson. Kaiqing, this is Hua Lao of Taixu Temple, who has guided the way for Taixu's disciple Qitiandengshen for generations."

Ji Kaiqing bowed to the old man in front of him and saluted: "Taixu disciple Ji Kaiqing, I have met Mr. Hua."

"Don't dare to dare," Elder Hua immediately helped Ji Kaiqing up, "How dare this old man be called a member of Taixu's family, but he has been blessed by Taixu for generations, this is the next one in the audience The path to ascending to the gods has grown, it has not appeared for decades..."

However, from the time between entering the door and saying a few words, the originally sunny sky darkened, and the sun hanging in the sky had already set on the other side of the mountain at this time, and it was almost nightfall.This abnormal passage of time made Ji Kaiqing take precautions, the current time is only two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun has set.

"After junior brother enters the realm of divine enlightenment this time, it may take another few decades before there will be another Taixu disciple who comes to the Hua family." Ling Junzi also sighed a little, and he reached out his hand and took out a The vial was handed to Elder Hua, "But it won't be long before your descendants will be able to enter Taixu. Your youngest son will soon have a child, right? Why not call that child Jundian."

——Wait, this topic jumps a little fast, right? ?

Ji Kaiqing, who was struggling with the time issue over there, was speechless for a moment when he heard that his senior brother had already started naming Hua Lao's unborn grandson.Just as he was about to ask Ling Junzi how he knew that Hua Lao's grandchildren were suitable for practicing Taixuanxin, it was nightfall in Peony Town.

The huge camphor tree in the courtyard suddenly turned into a dead tree in front of Ji Kaiqing's eyes.

A huge stone tablet appeared on his right hand, with densely packed characters engraved on it.Hua Lao's feet in front of him have disappeared as if they were swallowed by something, and they are still spreading upwards.

"The real person came a little late, and the wing on the right is cleaned every day. I have wronged the real person and the leader of the path."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lower half of Hua Lao's face disappeared. Ji Kaiqing saw that Hua Lao who only had half of his face looked at him with kindness in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. A few seconds later , only Ling Junzi was left in front of Ji Kaiqing.
