Chapter 248 Jianzhou City (1/2)
The arrival of such a large flying boat in Xiaolin City immediately attracted the attention of many people.
After all, such a huge flying boat several hundred meters long is really rare to see.
"Such a big ship? Which sect's flying boat is this?"
"I don't know. There is no mark on the boat. It must be some hidden sect."
"I've seen Feizhou a lot lately. It seems like many sects came to the Qingling Sword Sect's Northern Territory event."
"That's natural. The grand event in the Northern Territory only happens once in so many years. The selected geniuses will go to the Central Territory to participate in the five-region competition."
"What monk can resist the temptation of being the master of the five realms?"
Lu Wei landed the flying boat outside Xiaolin City. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he sent 500 escort members into the city to purchase supplies.
He himself was on the boat, taking care of the women and the flying boat.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Qin Qianyu had been suffering on the boat for several days. When they saw the city, their eyes shone with excitement and anticipation. They couldn't wait to go ashore to take a walk and experience this strange city. customs.
However, Lu Wei had different ideas. He was well aware of the special nature of his group and the potential risks. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and complications, he refused the two girls' requests without hesitation and asked them firmly to be honest. on board.
Although Lu Xiaoxiao and Qin Qianyu were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to obey the arrangement in the face of Lu Wei's persistence.
Because of Lu Wei's caution, there were no unexpected situations during the replenishment of supplies in Xiaolin City.
After everything was ready, the flying boat took off again, leading everyone to speed towards the direction of Qingling Sword Sect.
The Northern Territory is vast, and its area is simply incomparable to that of the Chaos Land. Even though the population here is relatively large, overall it still seems vast and sparsely populated. After leaving Xiaolin City, Feizhou traveled thousands of miles, and most of what he saw were dense forests, winding rivers, and various monsters that appeared in them from time to time. It can be said that this place is sparsely populated and a desolate scene.
In this way, after more than ten days of arduous flight, the group finally arrived in Jianzhou where the Qingling Sword Sect was located.
At the far end of the sky, a majestic and majestic city wall gradually appeared in everyone's sight. It is like a sleeping dragon, lying quietly on the vast land, towering into the clouds and reaching into the sky, seeming to connect the entire world together.
Viewed from a distance, the city wall looks like a giant towering over the sky, standing proudly in the world. Its height is jaw-dropping, as if it can touch the clouds, giving people an indescribable sense of shock and oppression.
You know, Yunzhou City's dozens of feet high city wall has always been regarded as a majestic architectural miracle, but now it pales in comparison. The city wall of Jianzhou City in front of you is not only far higher than Yunzhou City in height, but its scale and majestic momentum are even greater. The solid and thick walls, the well-proportioned towers, the complex formation inscriptions, and the formation flags flying in the air all demonstrate to the world its majesty and inviolability.
In the distance, before Lu's only pedestrian's airship approached Jianzhou City, there was a group of people riding several small airships speeding from Jianzhou City.
This type of small airship can only be used for short-distance flights and has little defensive power. It is usually used by various sects as a means of transportation inside the mountain gate. This time, the Qingling Sword Sect was responsible for hosting the exchange event in the Northern Territory, and these small flying boats were specially arranged to welcome guests from all walks of life. It didn't take long for those small airships to arrive in front of the big ship where Lu Wei was as light as flying birds.
I saw a middle-aged man standing at the head of one of the flying boats. He glanced at the large-scale spaceship in front of him, and was secretly shocked in his heart. He did not dare to be disrespectful at all. He quickly bowed his hands respectfully and saluted, and said loudly: "I am Ding Ran, the deacon of the outer sect of the Qingling Sword Sect. See you here." Dear fellow Taoists, I warmly welcome you to our Qingling Sword Sect to participate in this grand event. I wonder which sect the boat in front of me comes from?”
Hearing this, Lu Wei couldn't help being slightly startled, and was speechless for a moment. Yes, which sect do you belong to? If you think about it carefully, it seems that you don't belong to any sect yet. At this moment, Yang Xiaohu, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and said in a clear and sweet voice: "We are the Lu family from the land of chaos."
As soon as Ding Ran heard the name of the Lu family, he immediately began to quickly recall and search in his mind, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not remember which big family had the surname Lu.
However, when he set his sights on the majestic and magnificent large spaceship, he couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart. I saw that the spacecraft was shining with a strange light, as if it contained endless mysterious power. From the few people who occasionally appeared on the ship, Ding Ran was even more keenly aware of their powerful cultivation fluctuations. Among them, the person with the highest cultivation level actually possesses an astonishing six levels of cultivation! With such strength, the Lu family must be a huge and extremely secretive family.
The reason why Lu Wei showed only six realms of cultivation to the outside world was actually due to the breath gathering technique he practiced. This magical spell can cleverly hide one's true strength, making it difficult for outsiders to pry into its depth. For Lu Wei, his cultivation in the Six Realms was just right, so that he would not be looked down upon or looked down upon by others, nor would he appear too arrogant and eye-catching, thus causing unnecessary trouble.
Ding Ran bowed to the Lu family with a smile and said, "So you are the masters of the Lu family. May I ask if you have come here to attend the Northern Territory Exchange Conference hosted by my Qingling Sword Sect?"
Lu Wei nodded gently and replied, "That's right."
Hearing this, Ding Ran's smile became brighter and brighter, and he hurriedly said enthusiastically, "Welcome! Fellow Taoists, please follow me. My sect has already carefully prepared a comfortable place for you to rest."
Lu Wei bowed slightly and said politely, "Then I'll trouble you." After that, he led the Lu family to follow Ding Ran and fly towards Jianzhou City.
After entering the majestic gate of Jianzhou City, Lu Wei and his group followed Ding Ran closely, driving the flying boat and slowly landing in the center of an extremely spacious square.
This square is large enough to accommodate dozens of huge flying boats at the same time. The ground is paved with hard and smooth bluestone, and tall stone pillars stand around it, carved with mysterious and ancient runes and patterns.
Ding Ran jumped off the flying boat lightly, turned around and said to everyone: "Fellow Taoists, our flying boat will be parked here for the time being. Don't worry, our sect has already arranged special personnel to guard it, and there are also formations for protection. We will ensure that the flying boat is safe and there will be no accidents." His voice was loud and clear, echoing over the entire square.
Then, Ding Ran pointed to the towering mountain in the distance and said, "Fellow Daoists who come to participate in the exchange conference this time can follow me up the mountain to the sect.
However, I need to remind everyone that because there are many sects participating this time, the housing resources for living are relatively limited. Each sect or family can only be allocated an independent courtyard, and the number of people who can live there is also limited.
As for those Daoists who exceed the limit... I'm afraid they will have to stay in Jianzhou City for the time being." After saying that, he smiled apologetically.
After hearing this, Lu Wei could understand it. Just like them, if more than a thousand people came, if they all went up the mountain, then the Qingling Sword Sect would definitely have no place to arrange for so many people to live.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, you are too polite. We are the guests and we will follow the host's arrangement."
"Thank you for your understanding. The event will not start for a few days. You can go around Jianzhou City first, or you can follow me to the mountain after you settle down."
Lu Wei and Yang Xiaohu discussed it and thought that they should find a place to settle everyone down first. After all, there are more than a thousand or nearly two thousand people, and the place they need is not small.
Fortunately, Ding Ran also saw their difficulties and helped Lu Wei and his group find a large manor, which barely gave everyone a place to stay.
However, with so many people, even if the manor is large enough, many people cannot be allocated rooms and can only live in tents in the yard.
window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });
After Lu Wei settled everyone down, he hurried to find Yue Yang according to the contact information left by Yue Yang.
As for why he didn't contact Zhou Muxue, it was naturally because he wanted to give her a small surprise.
After learning that Lu Wei had arrived in Jianzhou City, Yue Yang immediately rushed over.
On the way, he happened to meet Tang Xingrou, and they went together.
Not long after, Yue Yang brought Tang Xingrou to the manor where Lu Wei was.
"Hahaha, Brother Lu Wei, I haven't seen you for two months, but you are still as charming as ever."
"Hello, Senior Brother Yueyang, Senior Sister Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all right?"
Tang Xingrou also said politely with a smile on her face: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Lu. Everything is fine."
After exchanging pleasantries, they went into the living room and sat down.
After sitting down, everyone said a few polite words, and Lu Wei asked directly: "Senior Brother Yueyang, I wonder how Muxue is now?"
Hearing this, Yueyang and Tang Xingrou smiled and teased: "I thought you could hold on for a while, but I didn't expect you couldn't hold on so soon."
"Hehe, don't worry, your little wife is fine, but..."
"Just what?"
"Forget it, wait until you meet her and ask her yourself."
"I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Yueyang and Senior Sister Tang for the meeting."
...
The sun sets, and the sky is dyed a gorgeous orange-red, like a beautiful painting. In this beautiful evening, Zhou Muxue sat quietly alone on a big rock in the back mountain, looking at the setting sun in the distance with a dazed look. The afterglow fell on her beautiful face, reflecting a faint blush.
She frowned slightly, her heart filled with deep thoughts for her lover. The distant figure seemed to be right in front of her, but out of reach. She sighed softly, lowered her head unconsciously, and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. This little life was quietly growing in her belly, and she was looking forward to Lu Wei's reaction when he learned the news with joy.
Thinking of Lu Wei's possible expression of surprise and joy, Zhou Muxue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She imagined Lu Wei's eyes widening and her mouth wide open, looking in disbelief, and then suddenly hugging her tightly, so excited that she was incoherent... At this moment, an unexpected voice broke her beautiful fantasy. .
"Junior sister, why are you sitting here alone? But you gave me a hard time looking for me." This voice, with some concern and doubt, brought Zhou Muxue out of his thoughts and back to reality.
When Zhou Muxue heard this, she turned her head and saw Tang Xingrou arriving not far behind her at some unknown time.
"Senior sister, but master wants to find me?"
Ever since I told Master last time that I didn’t want to attend the competition at the exchange meeting, I haven’t seen Master for several days.
Zhou Muxue also knew that he must have disappointed his master.
But she couldn't help it. She was pregnant, and she didn't dare to compete in the ring. If something went wrong and threatened her child, wouldn't she regret it for the rest of her life?
Moreover, I didn’t dare to tell my master about my pregnancy.
Although she knew that if the master knew that she was pregnant, he would not embarrass her and the child, but she did not dare to gamble.
If she's not afraid of ten thousand, she's afraid of the worst. For the sake of her children, it doesn't matter if she suffers a little injustice.
Tang Xingrou smiled and shook her head: "Master didn't ask me to come, I came to find you myself. I've seen you depressed these days, and you seem to have something on your mind. Can you tell me, maybe I can help you."
Hearing this, Zhou Muxue pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, senior sister, for your concern. I'm fine. I just like to have random thoughts."
Tang Xingrou sighed: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but it's not okay for you to be depressed all day long.
I told Senior Brother Yueyang and he was also very anxious. After all, Brother Lu Wei asked him to take good care of you.
If something happened to you, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Brother Lu Wei.
No, we discussed it and decided to rent the Star Building in Jianzhou City and let’s go relax together. "
Zhou Muxue felt warm in her heart when she heard this, but she still declined politely: "Thank you, senior brother and senior sister, for your concern, but I won't go. When Lu Wei comes in a few days, I will ask him to properly invite you back."
If it were normal times, she might not let down the kindness of her senior brothers and sisters.
But now, there is no way, the entertainment venues like Zhaixinglou are not suitable for her to go now.
Tang Xingrou seemed to have expected Zhou Muxue to say this.
So he rolled his eyes and pretended to sigh: "Well, my senior brother and I originally prepared a surprise for you, but now that you don't want to go, those surprises must not be uncommon."
Zhou Muxue apologized after hearing this: "I failed my senior brother and sister's kindness. It is really inconvenient for some reasons now.
After this period of time, I will definitely ask my brothers and sisters to apologize. "
