Main Text Chapter 725: Zhengqi Gate
Thinking about how he got this treasure, Baoning sighed: "Senior, it's really not like a newbie, he can still find the treasure like this!"
"So you two listened to me right." Miao Yi rolled up his sleeves and turned around: "Let's go!"
The three of them left the cave and left the cliff and went straight to Liujiazhuang. After the matter was settled, the two brothers Baoning and Baoxin listened to Miao Yi's words and kept them until they could be useful. Let's talk about subjugating demons later and take Miao Yi with them. Start returning to positive valve.
On the way, Miao Yi and Baoning rode together. They could have taken them back to Zhengqimen directly, but after thinking about it, they decided to stop by to see the customs and customs here. Therefore, it was a bit of a pity not to bring Heitan out for a ride. I will bring him next time. Then come out and have some fun.
Relying on Long Ju's foot power to get back on track, this journey can be described as a long one.
After leaving the territory of King Liang, Miao Yi discovered that the territory of King Liang was quite good. There were wars outside and countless people were displaced. It was not uncommon for wild dogs to eat human corpses on the way. It was even more common to encounter bones on the road. It was really The people are in dire straits, and the more this happens, the more they pray to gods and worship temples.
Baoning and Baoxin seemed to have become accustomed to this situation. They encountered homeless people speeding past without stopping, causing many to cry and cry for alms.
On the way, Miao Yi saw an old woman holding a baby that was waiting to be fed. He couldn't bear it and couldn't help but throw out some food. But before he could get a thank you, when he looked back, he saw a group of people looting and fighting. The crowd dispersed and left behind. He saw the motionless body of the old woman lying on the ground holding the baby.
"Senior, the affairs of the world still require the emergence of capable people who can govern the world. The ups and downs are all natural cycles. We can't control this kind of thing. It will only become more and more chaotic. All we can do is to suppress the demons and eliminate them. An opportunity to stir up trouble." Baoning turned around and warned.
This situation shocked Miao Yi quite a bit. He has never seen such a miserable situation in the small world. He really doesn't know whether to say that it is better in the small world or here. Although the people in the small world have lost their great freedom, they can at least live and work in peace and contentment. The ordinary people here With great freedom, even basic survival becomes a problem.
A few days later, Long Ju's legs were tired. The three of them rode into the mountains under the cover of night to rest for a while, but they bumped into a group of refugees screaming and running away in the mountains. I saw wolves chasing and eating people, screaming and crying.
Uh-huh! Miao Yi flew up from behind Baoning. The flying sword took action and struck with lightning speed, killing hundreds of wolves in the blink of an eye. After the flying sword returned to his hand, he saw Miao Yi ducking away again. Chase down the panicked wolves.
Baoning and Baoxin, who were riding to the hillside and looking out, saw Miao Yi slaughtering the wolves like a maniac. One wolf was even slashed by Miao Yi more than a dozen times, as if venting his anger, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.
"Senior Niu is a kind-hearted person." Baoxin sighed.
Baoning also sighed, "Master once said that what is in chaos in this world is the human heart. No matter how high your cultivation is, you can punish the evil in the world, but you cannot punish the evil in the world's human heart!"
When Miao Yi came out of the forest again, he carried a huge dead tree and chopped it with flying swords. He chopped out a pile of firewood and threw out a dozen pots of different sizes. Let the refugees feed themselves with wolf meat. Then he asked the two brothers to contribute the only pot they had, and asked them to heal the wounds of the people bitten by the wolf.
Not long after, bonfires lit up in the mountains, and groups of people gathered around the pots where meat was cooked and swallowed their saliva.
Soon, the aroma of meat filled the mountains and fields. Some people didn't even wait for the meat to be fully cooked, so they picked it out with wooden sticks and ate it. Fortunately, enough wolves were killed, and everyone calmed down after the second pot of meat was put into the pot.
After the meat was cooked, the refugees were all feasting on it. A little woman wrapped in a coarse cloth headscarf led a child up the hillside. She held up a piece of steaming meat with a piece of white silk from nowhere and said, "Please, Great Immortal." use!"
Miao Yi looked at the refugees who were just feasting. He didn't expect that there was a woman who could resist hunger and abide by etiquette. He was a little surprised. The woman had bright eyes, but her face was dirty and her face could not be seen clearly.
Not to mention him, Baoning and Baoxin also looked at the woman with some surprise.
Miao Yi waved his hand and said: "I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
"Child, kneel down!" The woman suddenly said to the child. After the child endured hunger and swallowed saliva and knelt down, the woman also knelt down in front of Miao Yi and prayed with tears: "Great Immortal, You can take my child away, take him as a disciple, or take him to work as a cow or a horse. In short, just give him a way to survive." After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground and cried, "I beg you, Immortal. I will repay you by working as a cow and a horse in my next life.”
Miao Yi's eyes flashed across the refugees, remembering the situation where his kindness caused trouble to the recipients on the way, and his own uncertain future, he couldn't help but sigh: "Go to Daliang City in the territory of King Liang. If you can bring When the child gets there, go find the princess of Liang Wang. Just say that the princess's cousin asked you to find her. She will naturally know who I am. Then you can tell her that as long as she takes in you mother and son, I owe her a Favor.”
The little woman understood very well in her heart. Seeing that Miao Yi's words had reached this point, she knew that there was no point in begging anymore. She raised her head and asked, "May I ask the Great Immortal's name? If the little woman, mother and son can survive, what will happen to them someday?" I will definitely set up a memorial tablet for immortality!”
How could Miao Yi care about her immortality tablet? Naturally, he would not tell her her real name and casually said: "Cows are virtuous!"
After receiving the immortal's name, the little woman bowed and led the child away. When they reached the foot of the mountain, she gave the child meat to satisfy his hunger.
Baoning and Baoxin looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads slightly, then looked at Miao Yi, only to see Miao Yi standing there quietly and motionless, looking up at the stars with his hands behind his hands.
After the hungry people below had eaten and drank enough, they all gathered around the fire and lay down. A burst of deep sobbing and the melodious sound of the cave flute broke the tranquility of the night.
Everyone looked around, and Miao Yi also lowered his head and saw that it was the little woman from before who had touched a flute from somewhere and played it near her mouth. The child was lying on his mother's lap listening to the flute. Slowly fall asleep.
Miao Yi's eyes were deep and he slowly raised his head to look at the night sky...
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, a sound of dragon colt's hooves suddenly sounded, awakening the refugees, only to find that the immortal who saved them last night had gone away.
Miao Yi and others originally wanted to rest here for a day, but because of these refugees, they left early...
After more than a month of long journey, the group finally arrived at Qiwu Mountain, where Zhengqi Gate is located.
The mountain is high, the road is dangerous, the forest is dense, and birds and animals come and go. The dragon pony flies to the top of a mountain. Baoning points to the beautiful mountains ahead, "Senior, ahead is my righteous gate."
Miao Yi took advantage of the situation and looked at it with a suspicious look on his face. It seemed that he didn't see a single building. One of the nine dignified sects must not be living in caves.
The two riders continued to gallop over the mountains and ridges, and came to a valley. They saw that the valley was blocked by fog. There was a pavilion on the left and right of the valley entrance. There was a monk sitting cross-legged in meditation. The clothes were the same as those of Baoning and Baoxin, so they were obviously from the Zhengqi sect. disciple.
"Two senior brothers, we are back from training." Baoning and Baoxin said after jumping off their mounts.
The two people in the pavilion also stood up. One of them frowned and stared at Miao Yi, who was looking around, and asked, "Junior brother, who is this person?"
Baoning said: "This is Senior Niu, a member of my generation. Don't neglect me, two senior brothers. We will make a decision after the two of us report to our master."
The two guards guarding the mountain gate nodded, and Baoning cupped her hands to Miao Yi and said, "Senior, wait outside for a moment. We will go and report it right away."
Miao Yi smiled and nodded, watching the two of them ride the dragon colt into the mist of the valley.
The wait lasted almost two hours, from morning to afternoon. Miao Yi felt somewhat anxious and doubtful that something had gone wrong. Logically speaking, it was impossible. It's so valuable as people say, so there's no reason why upright people shouldn't see it.
While I was thinking wildly here, the fog in the valley swung away with a roar, and a road appeared.
Baoning walked out, smiled at Miao Yi and said, "Senior Niu, the head of our sect wants to see you."
Miao Yi perked up and bowed his hands to the two people guarding the mountain gate. When they heard that the leader wanted to see this person in person, the two of them did not dare to neglect, and both returned the favor, please come in!
As Baoning broke through the misty passage opened in the cave, Miao Yi was stunned for a moment as soon as he walked out of the mist. It was as if he had been in another world for an instant, where there were still valleys. In front of him were clear springs and waterfalls, blooming mountain flowers, birds chirping in the trees, and mountain scenery. It is a beautiful place with carved and painted houses looming on the top of the mountains.
Miao Yi was a little confused. He had only walked a few feet. How could there be such a change? How could he not see such a wonderful place hidden here on the top of the mountain outside?
When he looked back behind him, he was even more stunned. There was no entrance to the valley anywhere. Not even the fog could be seen at all, only a bare mountain wall stretched across it.
"Baoning, what's going on?" Miao Yi asked strangely from side to side.
Baoning was no longer surprised by his anomaly and said with a smile: "Senior, this is a mountain-protecting formation. Outsiders can't easily see it from the outside, and they can't easily break in. We'll talk about this later. Don't keep the leader waiting for a long time."
Miao Yi said "Oh" and followed him quickly, heading straight to the palace on the highest peak.
Climbing the stairs all the way to the top of the mountain, a jade archway stands with five simple characters: "Heaven and Earth are righteous."
When he reached the door of the palace, two boys bowed down to greet him. The hall is spacious, with black jade on the floor. A one-foot-tall golden statue of a Taoist sits cross-legged on a throne. Below stands an old man in purple robes with white hair and a childlike face. There are five or six people standing on the left and right, all staring at each other. On Miao Yi.
Baoxin was also standing aside with his head lowered and glanced at the two people who came in.
Baoning, who was leading the way, gave an introduction, and Miao Yi immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Junior Niu Youde has met the master and all the seniors."
Everyone nodded slightly and seemed to have a good impression of Miao Yi. I heard that he was here to offer a treasure, so it was strange that his impressions were not good.
Master Yu Ling, the master, nodded and smiled, stretched out his hand to help, "Since we are fellow travelers, we are guests, so there is no need to be polite." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
