Although the Shu Road is indeed open to the public, in most cases, to enter Jiange, there is a mountain road that has been dug through, which is fast and safe, and there are Jiange disciples to receive you.
Who would deliberately go to such a dangerous Shu Road?
How come there is someone today... This is fucking terrible. If something happens during the process of breaking through the formation, it will be a huge damage to the reputation of Jiange. After all, it is during the competition, and everyone came to Wanjian City happily and excitedly, only to find that someone died on the Shu Road because of breaking through the formation.
Even if I saw a joke, I felt uncomfortable.
Wang Rong's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said to the side: "Pull the man down for me. Where is the mechanical formation? Can you notify someone to shut it down?"
The other disciples replied: "We have already sent someone to find the elder, but it will take some time. Communication Talisman..."
Suddenly, a faint scream came from above. It was the kind of scream that people who were afraid of heights would make out of fear. The Jiange disciples who had been going back and forth in high places for many years were very familiar with it.
"What the hell, hurry up and get that person down first! Didn't you hear that the person is about to die?"
Wang Rong stared at the disciples, who were looking at each other in confusion and hesitating. He said in embarrassment, "Manager Wang, if everyone could go up the Shu Road, we wouldn't have to notify the elders like we do now..."
"No, that scream wasn't..."
"How dare you be so timid as to claim to be a disciple of the Sword Pavilion!" He was so angry that he stretched out his hand to summon a flying sword and prepared to go up himself.
"Damn it! I finally found a job that was easy, but why did something like this suddenly go wrong?"
Wang Rong felt sad about his contribution points. The crowd around him became agitated because the disciples of Jiange suddenly stopped registering, and then noticed the movement of Shu Dao.
Damn it, if this goes on, things will get out of control and will escalate!
Wang Rong looked at the young disciples angrily, "Why are you still standing there? Just let them know and it's done. Hurry up and appease the contestants. Don't let them escalate the situation any further, okay?"
The Sword Pavilion disciples stared at him blankly, their eyes a little dull.
"Did you hear me?!" Wang Rong was so angry that he almost picked up his flying sword and hit these idiots on the heads.
"I heard it, Steward Wang, but..."
"But what but?!"
"He seems to have passed fifty feet..."
"What fifty ren? Bullshit! If he can reach fifty ren, I will eat him on the spot..." Wang Rong cursed, and before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned and said in disbelief: "Fifty ren?!"
He turned his head suddenly, and the disciple was still hesitating in bewilderment, "No, that's not right, how come he seems to have reached a hundred feet above the mountain..."
Wang Rong stared blankly above. The figures who had just stepped onto the plank road below, just as they were frantically preparing to find the elders, stop the mechanisms, and pacify the crowd, had already swooped by, seemingly extremely agilely dodging all the mechanisms, traps, spells, and formations, and reached the top of the hundred-foot cliff.
That is the most narrow and dangerous place in the entire Shu Road. It is a right-angle turn, and the plank road turns. There is nothing in front. You have to suddenly change the direction of your body in an instant and find a way out of the formation. Otherwise, if you can't react in time, you will fall down immediately.
Although falling into the Bailong River would not result in death, serious injuries were inevitable, and one might even be unable to practice for the rest of his life.
Everyone held their breath, extremely nervous, as they watched the already very small figure at the high corner of the cliff. It changed its body movements several times, climbed the cliff wall, and went straight over without any pause.
Directly...passed...
The Jiange disciples who knew the horror of Shu Dao were completely stunned and stared blankly, while some of the registered cultivators also reacted.
The Shu Road is a total of 150 ren. How long did it take this man to travel?
Do you have half a cup of tea?
Probably... no?
"..."
The scene was very quiet. The clicking sounds of the mechanisms had died down, and Liu Yuan's figure had disappeared into the mist. The towering platforms shrouded in the clouds were quiet and peaceful.
Wow...
Some stones fell again and landed in the Bailong River.
"The Road to Shu... is it so easy to pass?" a disciple of Jian Ge couldn't help but ask.
"It's easy as hell! I just tried it two years ago, and after only walking fifty feet, I was forced down by the Liuren Qijian Formation. If it was really that easy, why have only a few true disciples made it through in all these years?"
Wang Rong thought back to the time when he was pissed and miserable by the sword formation and felt ashamed.
If he hadn't been scared and gave up at that time, how could he have been idle now?
The thing that Jiange values most in the Shudao Trial is courage...
A swordsmith knows the sword itself, the sword spirit, and the sword soul better than the sword user. He focuses on the sharp and indomitable courage. Without this courage, it is impossible to forge a sharp sword.
The founder of Jiange left behind a poem when he founded Jiange. It is still written on the giant sword of Mingjiantai as the motto of the Jiange. The poem goes, "The heaven and earth have sent murderous intentions to help me become a sword. Once I am bathed in blood and sing, I will live up to the will of dragons and snakes."
It can be seen that swordsmiths also have a murderous spirit.
"Are you the person in charge of registration for the Sword Pavilion Mingjiantai?" A pleasant female voice suddenly came. Wang Rong turned around and saw a female priest wearing a Yuxu Taoist robe.
He immediately coughed a few times to calm himself down, then bowed and said, "Yes, I am Wang Rong, responsible for the registration of this conference."
"The one who went up just now is my friend. He took a mortal swordsmith to Jian Ge to participate in the Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword Conference, so he took the Shu Road..." Lingyu's tone was a little hesitant and confused, because she had not expected this at all, no matter the beginning or the end of the matter.
Until now, she is still in a psychedelic state.
Wang Rong first nodded with a wry smile to show his understanding: "Since it was Daoist Fellow Yuxu who asked, of course no... Wait, he even brought a mortal with him???!!!"
Lingyu said hesitantly: "Well...it seems...it is true."
Wang Rong felt dizzy.
Chapter 106: Pavilion Master, City Lord Duan Seeks to See You
Outside Mingjiantai, the river is roaring.
Wang Rong swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty: "May I ask, what is the cultivation level of your friend?"
Ling Yu was a little confused: "Fifth level of foundation building?"
She blinked her eyes, looked at the Sword Pavilion above, and felt a little doubtful about her life.
Is this guy really in the Foundation Establishment Stage?
Wang Rong almost blacked out. A fifth-level foundation-building cultivator, an outsider, bringing a mortal with him, rushed onto the Shu Road? The most magical thing was that he rushed straight through? He didn't even stop for half a cup of tea?
What kind of god is this?
Wang Rong looked suffocated, but the communication talisman at his hand lit up with spiritual light. He found that it was the law enforcement elder in the Sword Pavilion, and quickly injected spiritual energy into it: "Elder Tang, just now there was an outsider in the foundation-building stage who came to the Sword Pavilion through the Shu Road..."
An old voice came from the communication talisman: "I already know... That person is now in the Sword Pavilion. The Pavilion Master has been alarmed and is questioning him. Your response this time is quite timely. After all, things happened too quickly. You should stabilize the cultivators outside. I will ensure that you will not be demoted to the outer sect."
Even the Pavilion Master was alarmed...
Wang Rong quickly said, "Yes, yes, I understand."
Elder Tang said: "Alas, you were too timid during the Shu Road Trial, otherwise your future would never have stopped here."
Wang Rong said a few words with an apologetic smile, and under Elder Tang's earnest instructions, he promised to do his best, then turned off the communication symbol.
He looked at the Sword Pavilion disciples with anger on his face: "Did you hear that? Go and maintain order, calm those people down, and register properly."
He turned to look at Ling Yu again: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Daoist. I'll register you first. By the way, two disciples of Yuxu have already registered here, they are Lingzhen and Lingyi... I wonder who you are?"
Lingyu was muttering that this guy seemed to have brought a cat with him, then he came to his senses and said, "My Taoist name is Lingyu."
Wang Rong twitched his lips. What cat? The man who went up not only brought a mortal, but also a cat? Did he think this was an outing?
But thinking about that half cup of tea time, that flowing figure, it seems that it can be called a picnic...
"Oh, Lingyu... Hmm? Could it be that you are the fifth disciple of Sheng'e Zhenren?"
Wang Rong was stunned. Seeing Lingyu nod, he thought to himself that this was not a simple matter. This tide watching and sword listening competition was really lively...
-
Liu Yuan didn't know it was too lively outside.
Although he knew that his journey along the Shu Road might attract some attention, he did not expect it to be so alarming.
In order to complete this task in the game, he has walked the Shu Road dozens of times. Because it is quite difficult, the impression is very deep. He knows exactly where to go and what skills to use at each point before going up. Moreover, the Jiange Shu Road has never been a test of one's cultivation, but of courage.
Among his overall attributes, agility has always been the highest, and he has also learned a lot of skills related to physical movement. A guide to novice skills is provided, and it is best to increase physical movement... Attack speed and running are both very practical.
Although the road to Shu is dangerous, for Liu Yuan, it is just a matter of seizing the opportunity.
Moreover, he thought about it this morning and felt that instead of being passive, it would be better to take the initiative to find some opportunities. Geng Qi was...
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” The young man in his hand closed his eyes and opened his mouth to yell. Liu Yuan put him on the ground helplessly and raised his hand to gently pat his crown.
"Ah...?" Geng Qi suddenly came back to his senses, looked around, felt the solid ground under his feet, and let out a long breath with cold sweat on his face, and his legs almost went weak.
Liu Yuan's expression was subtle. It wasn't that serious in the game, but there was indeed a text like "This, this place is really high". It seemed that this guy was a little afraid of heights.
Geng Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Senior, you are moving too fast... I can't stand it..."
"..."
If you can’t talk, just say less!
The "Mu Li Geng Qi" photoshopped picture that is widely circulated in the game is not fake. Why does this guy have this style of painting, coupled with that dark-skinned and honest face, it's too scary!
Liu Yuan felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Fortunately, the people inside the Sword Pavilion had been alerted by this time, and a bunch of people came out to see the god who had crossed the Shu Road in half a cup of tea. The first person to come up to greet him was an attendant in a light blue robe. He stepped forward and bowed and asked, "The Pavilion Master is already waiting in the Pavilion. He already knows what happened. Please follow me."
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
This attendant is not a simple person, but the sword-holding servant of the Sword Pavilion's master, which means that he has directly attracted the attention of the master this time... In fact, there is no difference. The return of a disciple of a nine-star swordsmith to the Sword Pavilion will cause a big commotion, but now the limelight is on Liu Yuan.
Geng Qi looked back with lingering fear, his face turned pale, and he hurried to catch up.
At the end of a short mountain path at the main peak of the Twelve Peaks of Jiange here, you can see a towering pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters. Outside the pavilion are steep cliffs, with the Bailong River below and another mountain opposite. There is rolling fog between the two peaks, connected by countless chains.
The sword-making furnace on the cliff could be vaguely seen. Thousands of holes on the dark cliff wall flashed red light, and the waves smashed it into pieces, turning it into white mist.
The current leader of Jiange is Zuo Youhuai.
As a nine-star swordsmith in Jiange, he was once called "Bingjun Jianfu". "Fu" is the same as "father", which means that he is like the father of the sword. It can be seen that his attainments in swordmaking are unprecedented and unparalleled.
Liu Yuan looked at the old man who was sitting cross-legged at the top. He looked extremely haggard, with loose clothes and no airs. He did not look like the head of a pavilion, but rather like an ordinary old man who was about to die.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Liu Yuan bowed, and Geng Qi beside him also followed suit.
Zuo Youhuai raised his head and laughed, "No need to be polite, sit down, everyone."
Liu Yuan, under the guidance of the sword-holding servant, sat down at the table nearby, while Geng Qi looked at the current Sword Pavilion Master curiously, but his eyes widened.
I saw that the Sword Pavilion Master's eyes were covered with white film, gray and turbid.
He is actually blind!
Geng Qi was so shocked that he almost lost his balance and bumped into the corner of the table. He quickly steadied himself and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was so reckless!"
Zuo Youhuai waved his hand and said, "It's okay... Were you scared by me?"
Geng Qi quickly shook his head: "Nothing like that...it's just a little weird."
Zuo Youhuai laughed and said, "Look, the kid next to you doesn't feel weird at all, but you do. I'm still wondering, how can a mortal be a swordsmith?"
Geng Qi was stunned, then he touched his head with a wry smile: "That's true..."
But from what he said, Zuo Youhuai seemed to have known Geng Qi's identity.
The life story of this Sword Pavilion master can be said to be quite miserable. He was born into a sword-making family in Sword Pavilion. When he was young, he was blinded due to revenge, but he managed to comprehend the way of "forging swords with the heart" and became a nine-star swordsmith.
Zuo Youhuai was friendly and took good care of Geng Qi. After chatting for a few words, he arranged accommodation for him and the qualification to participate in the competition. He also asked Liu Yuan how he crossed the Shu Road and praised him highly. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
But when they were halfway through their conversation, someone suddenly came to report: "Pavilion Master, Master Duan, City Lord Duan wants to see you."
The so-called "Master" is a respectful title for swordsmiths.
In Jiange, there is only one person with the surname Duan who is respected, and he is the city lord's swordsmith.
Duan Lanruo.
Chapter 107: Within a short distance, everyone is the enemy
"Pavilion Master, City Lord Duan wants to see you."
Damn it? !
Liu Yuan was sitting at the bottom, his mouth twitched slightly and he almost blurted out "Fuck!"
Then he tried hard to control his facial expression, pinched himself with his fingers, and stared at the decorations on the table with a focused look as if he was looking at his nose and his heart.
Why did you come to Jiange at this time...
