Chapter 504

The carriage was exceptionally quiet.

Because of Sun Jiang's presence, everyone was resting with their eyes closed or thinking about things, and no one was talking casually.

The headquarters of Lingxiao Sect is located on the Lingxiao Peak, only tens of kilometers away from Kyoto, and across the river from the Yunwu Mountains.

However, the mountain roads there are rugged and the terrain is complex, so carriages are definitely not allowed to enter.

So when they arrived at the horse farm outside Shili Pavilion, Sun Jiang took a few people off the carriage and rented a horse each.

Luo Qingzhou led the rented horse and missed the last Dilu BMW.

That horse was the real divine BMW.

However, the Dilu was snatched back by the Nangong Princess the day after it was sent to Sister Dao's house.

"Da Da Da Da!"

Several people got on the horses and ran on the official road under the leadership of Sun Jiang.

An hour later.

They got off the official road and turned into a small road.

As they got closer and closer to the Yunwu Mountains, Luo Qingzhou recalled the last time he killed He Yang and the other two.

If it weren't for the Nangong Princess who took the initiative to help him take the blame, it would not have been so easy to get over.

Thinking of the help that Nangong Princess had given to the Qin family and helped him find out all kinds of information during this period of time, his heart became more and more conflicted.

Another hour later.

The few people passed through a forest, and the front suddenly became clear.

A cool breeze blew, bringing a damp breath.

Turning around a hillside, a huge river with a wide surface and turbulent waves suddenly appeared in front.

The two sides of the river were about a thousand meters apart, and the water surface was hazy and sparkling.

There were small boats on both sides of the river and on the river.

Not far away on the other side of the river, there were several mountains, one of which was particularly majestic and steep, with its peak hidden in the clouds and no end in sight. That was Lingxiao Peak, which was across the river from the Yunwu Mountains.

Lingxiao Sect is located on the top of the mountain, surrounded by mist all year round, like a fairyland.

There is a tavern by the river.

You can eat and drink in the tavern, as well as store horses and rent boats to cross the river.

At this time, a group of people have stored horses and crossed the river.

Sun Jiang looked at the river and found that he didn't know them, so he took a few people to the tavern.

Today is the time when Lingxiao Sect holds its annual preliminary examination. In addition to the disciples of Lingxiao Sect from all over Da Yan, many guests are invited to visit.

Other sects and other cultivation families are all invited.

Of course, there are also people crossing the river to other places.

So today's ferry is obviously very busy. Just after passing, it has to return in a hurry to continue to receive guests.

Sun Jiang led the horse and brought a few people to the tavern, asked the waiter to lead the horse to the stable, then found a table to sit down, and asked the boss to serve several large plates of beef and buns, as well as a large pot of tea.

Several people set out before dawn, so naturally they didn't have breakfast. They had been running all the way and were already hungry.

After the beef and buns came up, everyone didn't hesitate to eat.

After eating a few buns and a plate of beef, they stopped to rest.

After Sun Jiang drank a few cups of tea, he wiped his mouth and reminded: "We will be at the foot of the sect mountain in a while. Remember, don't say anything carelessly and don't offend people at will. Who knows, an elder of the sect may be welcoming guests at the foot of the mountain. Other guests can't be offended at will. After all, they are visiting our Lingxiao Sect. Don't let people laugh at us, and don't lose face for the master."

Several people hurriedly said: "Yes, Master."

Sun Jiang poured another cup of tea. Seeing that there was no one else around, he said: "Those who came back to the sect to participate in the competition this time should all be well-prepared. I calculated that, including our Kyoto branch, there are about thirty teams. The results of the competition are not only divided according to each person, but also according to each team. Five points. If your team ranks high, in addition to the individual rewards, the team can also get extra rewards. The master does not ask you to rank in the top ten, but you must not fall below the 20th place. After all, we are from the Kyoto branch. If we can't even get into the top 20, it's too embarrassing. Do you have confidence? "

Chu Xiaoxiao immediately said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Master, don't worry, we will definitely work hard to get into the top ten and win glory for you!"

Sun Jiang smiled, took another sip of the teacup, and said: "Don't count on the top ten, after all, we are few. If you can get into the top 20, the master will give each of you an extra reward of 100,000 gold coins and three bottles of potion."

When these words came out, several people were very excited.

Nie Yunrong joked, "Master, if we enter the top ten, will the reward be doubled?"

Sun Jiang smiled and said, "If you can really enter the top ten, or if your personal ranking can enter the top ten, the reward will be more than doubled. At that time, the master can also give each of you an extra small magic weapon. Of course, if your personal ranking can enter the top ten, you will definitely be noticed by the sect's top leaders. If you are accepted into the inner sect and become an elite disciple, the cultivation resources you get will definitely be beyond your imagination."

When several people heard this, they were all excited.

Luo Qingzhou was even more excited.

If he could enter the inner city and become an inner disciple of Lingxiao Sect, not only would his treatment be much better, but his status would also be much higher, which would be more conducive to him delaying time to take revenge and solve problems.

At that time, even if he had no household registration and could not explain his origins, the Jinyiwei would not dare to do anything to him, right?

"Master, what rewards will the top three martial arts students and martial arts masters get?"

Sister Dao asked curiously.

Sun Jiang smiled and said: "The rewards for the top three will naturally be more generous. If your talent is really good and you are noticed by a certain peak master, you may even be directly accepted as a direct disciple. Your status and training resources will all It is different from other disciples..."

Several people listened with fascination.

When Sister Dao wanted to ask again, Sun Jiang suddenly looked not far away and narrowed his eyes.

At this time, a loud laugh came.

Immediately, a short, fat old man with fluttering sleeves strode over, leading eight young men and women.

"Senior Brother Sun, long time no see. How are you?"

Before the pudgy old man arrived, the hoarse voice came over first.

Sun Jiang stood up, cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Junior Brother Jin, it's been a long time indeed."

Sister Dao frowned when she saw the person coming, and whispered: "This person's name is Jin Song. I met him once in Mocheng last year. He seems to have a deep conflict with the master. I heard from the master that the two of them were separated for a disciple. The people got into a fight and even went to the sect leader..."

The old man named Jin Song strode over, glanced at the people at the table, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Sun, are you just accepting these few disciples? You are in Kyoto here, and there are so many talented people. It’s unreasonable to have six disciples.”

Sun Jiang smiled lightly and said: "Why accept so many disciples? There are only so many resources, can they be allocated?"

Jin Song smiled and said: "Senior Brother Sun, you can't say that. You are here in the capital of Great Yan Kingdom, and so many of our brothers are vying to come here, but you got there first. I thought you could repay the favor by recruiting a few more good disciples. There are only a few sects in the world, and they are not as good as one from a remote village like me."

Sun Jiang sat down, picked up the tea cup, and said calmly: "Of course I'm not as good as you, Junior Brother Jin."

Jin Song chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Sun, don't belittle yourself. The sect has sent you to recruit disciples in Kyoto, so naturally it has high hopes for you. By the way, Senior Brother Sun, I heard that among the new disciples recruited by the sect this year, there are three late-stage martial arts disciples. , and they are very talented Okay, wouldn't one of the disciples come from Senior Brother Sun? After all, Senior Brother Sun used to say that it's not about recruiting many disciples, it's about being good. Since Senior Brother Sun has such a good position in Kyoto, he must have accepted one of them. A disciple of the late martial arts master, right?"

Sun Jiang did not answer. He glanced at the people at the table and said calmly: "This is your Uncle Jin. Why don't you show me your courtesy?"

The six Dao Sisters quickly bowed their heads and said, "I've met Uncle Jin."

Jin Song said with a smile on his face: "You're welcome, you're welcome, we are all members of our family."

Then he turned to look behind him and shouted coldly: "What are you doing? Didn't you see that your uncle Sun's face has darkened? You don't know how to say hello to your elders when you see them. Where is your education?"

The disciples behind him all lowered their heads and raised their hands, saying in unison: "I have met Master Sun."

The muscles on Sun Jiang's face twitched, and he raised his hand and said, "You're welcome."

Jin Song pointed at a woman behind him with a smile on his face and said: "Senior Brother Sun, this is the disciple I just accepted two months ago, and she is also a talented girl from Jiangnan, with both civil and military skills. This girl just broke through to the level of martial arts master last month Later stage, hey, Brother Sun, guess how long it took for her to go from the early stage of martial arts to the late stage?"

Sun Jiang's face froze, he looked at the slender girl behind him, and said nothing.

Jin Song immediately said behind him: "Wanrou, tell Master Sun."

A Jiangnan woman named Yun Wanrou held a sword in her hand, bowed her head and said respectfully: "It took nearly a year for the disciple to go from the early stage of martial arts to the late stage of martial arts."

Jin Song laughed and said: "It's only ten months. Senior Brother Sun, this girl's physique is extraordinary, and her understanding of swords is extremely talented. If nothing goes wrong when we go up the mountain this time, she will probably be beaten by Jianfeng." Senior Sister Linghu, I will directly accept you as my direct disciple."

Sun Jiang said calmly: "Junior brother Jin, congratulations, your contribution is not small."

Jin Song smiled and said: "Senior Brother Sun, please don't get me wrong. This disciple of mine just broke through to the late stage of martial arts last month, and I am not one of the three disciples mentioned before. So the question I just asked Senior Brother Sun had no other intention. .

Sun Jiang's eyelids twitched and he said: "So, in this year's first trial, there will be four late-stage martial arts disciples fighting. It seems to be much more exciting than before."

Jin Song smiled and said: "That is true, but maybe there are disciples from other senior brothers who have recently broken through to the late martial arts master stage. Senior Brother Sun, are there any disciples among your disciples who are in the late martial arts master stage? Let's introduce them to my junior brother. "

Sun Jiang said expressionlessly: "No."

Jin Song chuckled: "It's a pity, I was planning to let this girl Wanrou compete with senior disciples. I remember in the preliminary test last year, senior disciples were so overwhelmed that my disciples didn't even dare to enter the ring."

Sun Jiang stood up and said, "Junior brother Jin, you should eat first. When the boat comes, we will go there first."

Jin Song smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Sun, walk slowly. I'll see you later in the sect."

Sun Jiang said no more, turned around and walked towards the river, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Sister Dao and the others followed behind, but they didn't dare to say a word.

The boat docked on the shore, and the boatman held up his bamboo pole and shouted loudly: "The wind and waves are too strong today. Only four people can get on at a time. Don't blame the guests."

Sister Dao immediately said: "Master, you go up first."

Luo Qingzhou and Zhou Boyue were all humble.

Sun Jiang was not in the mood to talk, and he was too lazy to stay here any longer, so he got on the boat with a gloomy face.

The few of them looked at each other. As the senior brother, Zhang Yuanshan also got on the boat without any further humility.

Then Sister Dao pushed Chu Xiaoxiao and Nie Yunrong up again.

The boatman reminded everyone to sit tight and immediately held his pennies away from the shore. He said to the three people on the shore: "Guests, wait a moment, another boat will be here soon."

When Luo Qingzhou and the other three were standing on the shore talking in a low voice, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "You three, what a coincidence."

The three people turned to look, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Luo Changtian, wearing a unicorn robe and leading four men in Jinyiwei Feiyu uniforms, came up from behind and looked at the three of them with a smile on his face.

None of the three spoke.

Luo Changtian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, you three. Today we are also ordered to come to Lingxiao Sect to watch the competition of new disciples. The Holy Lord is young and promising and loves talents very much. If there are new disciples with good talents and are willing to work for them, If the Holy Spirit serves you, we will discuss with your sect, take the person away, and focus on cultivating him. . The training resources we provide are definitely not less than those provided by your sect. I believe that the three of you know that your sect has provided many talents to our country over the years, and it is our honor to serve our country. , It is also our responsibility. In the interests of the country, there is no distinction between sects and forces. "

Sister Dao said coldly: "There is no need to tell us these things. Commander Luo can just go to the sect and tell us."

Luo Changtian smiled, looked at the young man on her left, and said: "Brother Chu, I am looking forward to your competition this time. I hope Brother Chu can get a good ranking this time and win glory for me, the Kyoto warrior."

Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "Thank you very much."

The two looked at each other without looking away.

"The boat is here, let's go first."

Sister Dao touched the person next to her and turned around to get on the boat.

Luo Qingzhou and Zhou Boyue also jumped on.

The boatman looked towards the shore and said, "One more can come up."

Luo Changtian smiled and said, "No need, we'll wait for the next one."

The boatman didn't say anything more and left with the boat.

Luo Changtian stood on the shore, looking at the three figures on the boat, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

A guard behind him whispered: "Sir, we still haven't found his address or family. Every time he goes to or leaves the martial arts gym, he is very vigilant. On every street and alley, he will walk on Every time, our people lost track of them.”

Luo Changtian looked at the figure on the boat and said, "How big can the inner city be? With so many people, none of them can keep up, which means he can see you clearly. A middle-level martial artist does not have this ability."

The guard looked solemn and said: "What you mean is..."

Luo Changtian's eyes flashed and he said: "Maybe someone can help him, or he can hide in the alley and use another method to clearly check you..."

On the river.

Luo Qingzhou sat in the cabin of the boat, facing the cold river wind, turning his head and looking towards the shore.

The figure was still standing there, looking at him.

Sister Dao also followed his gaze and whispered, "What does he want to do?"

Luo Qingzhou didn't answer. The restless alchemy sea in his body seemed to be flashing with thunder and lightning in his acupoints.

There seemed to be thunder and lightning flashing in his pupils.

His body seemed to be craving some kind of energy to break through the final hurdle.
