Shendou Continent

Chapter 9 Five Cloud Gate

Qiantang Province is located in the Ouyue Empire in the southeast of the mainland. It is a typical land of fish and rice. It has been rich and prosperous since ancient times. Shaozhou, Huzhou, and Xingzhou within its jurisdiction are known as the granaries of the world.

The Qiantang Province of the Ouyue Empire, the Donghai Province of the Hanhai Empire, and the Guangnan Province of the Nanling Empire are known as the three major treasure basins in the mainland, because the three treasure lands and the three empires they are located in are also the richest of all the empires in the mainland .

Shaozhou is also the capital of Qiantang Province, so Xueyan Hall also has a semicolon in Shaozhou, and Chen Zhang and his party stopped at an inn near the semicolon.They distributed some of the herbs brought by the Jiazhou head office to the Shaozhou branch, and reloaded a truckload of new herbs from Shaozhou.

After finishing the official business, Chen Zhang took Lin You around Fucheng again, and told him that Shaozhou was rich and prosperous. He and Lin San had been begging since they were young and wanted to take root here, but within two years there was a mutiny. Small, can only be driven back to escape.Yanzhou couldn't keep people, so he fled south again.Speaking of the past, Chen Zhang couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

After a brief stay in Shaozhou, two days and one night later, they finally arrived at Hangjing, the imperial capital of the Ouyue Empire.As for Hangjing, I also heard old Uncle Chen talk about it on Xiaoyou Road. There is a word in the literary world: "The southeast is well-shaped, the three Wu cities, and Hangjing has been prosperous since ancient times." This shows the degree of prosperity of Hangjing.

Before entering Beijing, Xiaoyou saw the excitement of Hangjing at the Water Transport Wharf outside Beijing. There are dozens of large and small ships here, and the big ones are as high as several floors. There is a lot of people on the pier, and the guys are busy Load and unload various cargo.Entering the city gate, there are many places and places, and people come and go.

After twenty days of running around, we finally arrived at the imperial capital branch of Xueyan Hall, which is also the largest branch of Xueyan Hall, occupying an area that is not small compared to the main hall.Behind Xueyan Hall is Chen Zhang’s residence in the imperial capital. The house is not as large as Jiazhou, only has two entrances, and occupies a much smaller area. One maid and two servants, plus Chen Zhang and Aunt Shen, are enough for a family of five. big.

It has been more than two months since Chen Zhang left this time, and he has to deal with the affairs of the family store first.So Lin You lived with Old Uncle Chen first, helping out in the store during the day, and Old Uncle Chen continued to teach him how to read and write at night.

In a blink of an eye, it was already mid-August. When Lin San picked up Xiaoyou, it was mid-October. It would be estimated that Xiaoyou's full moon would not be long. Chen Zhang calculated that Xiaoyou's birthday was coming soon, and the matter of awakening and apprenticeship could not be delayed. Although he can find semicolon fighters, he always feels that he still has to go to Yanzhou to find the reliable master of Wuyunmen.Fortunately, Hangjing is not far from Yanzhou, and the journey by horse-drawn carriage only takes five or six days, and then seven or eight days is enough to reach Wuyun Gate near Wuyun River.Wuyunmen is the number one sect in the empire, and the place is not difficult to find.

Soon, Chen Zhang called a coachman, took Lin You and set off.He wanted to keep Xiaoyou, but he dared not forget Lin San's entrustment, if Xiaoyou could awaken his soul, it would be a great thing for Xiaoyou.Neither he nor Lin San could awaken their souls. Except for their little granddaughter who hadn't been tested yet, no one else had the potential to be a fighter. A fighter has superhuman abilities and a high status in the mainland, and is the object of everyone's envy.

His boss is a fighter, and his level is not low. If it is not for his cultivation, how can he win the Xueyan Hall.Moreover, the lifespan of a fighter is twice that of ordinary people. The boss is now 80 years old, and he is only middle-aged, younger than he looks.Needless to say, the ability of senior fighters, their imperial capital Xueyan Hall also hired two junior fighters to be responsible for the safety of the pavement, so they don't have to work much, and they can earn a good income.

After eight days of trekking, with the help of the mountain people, they finally saw the gate of Wuyunmen.These days, from the mouth of the mountain people, Lin You also learned more about Wuyunmen.The Wuyun Gate is located on the Wuyun Peak of Shenshan Mountain near Yanzhou, on the upper reaches of the Wuyun River, and the sect is named after the Wuyun Peak.Wuyun Peak is not one peak, but actually five: Qingyun Peak, Baiyun Peak, Biyun Peak, Ziyun Peak and Orange Cloud Peak.Wuyun Sect has a history of nearly a thousand years. It is the first sect in the empire and one of the eight major sects in the mainland. It has a profound sect heritage.

The founder of Wuyunmen, Taoist Wuyun, was a god fighter and one of the top powerhouses in the mainland at that time. After he broke through as a god fighter at the age of 120, he accepted five apprentices. Taoist Wuyun simply found this treasure land and created the Wuyun School.From Taoist Wuyun down, all generations of Wuyunmen sect masters have achieved the cultivation level of a saint, and they are currently the No. 20 Taoist master Qingfeng.

The five apprentices of Taoist Wuyun lived in the three peaks of Qingyun, Baiyun, Biyun, Ziyun and Chengyun after leaving the teacher. They were named Qingyun Taoist, Baiyun Taoist, Biyun Taoist, Ziyun Taoist and Chengyun Taoist. The Taoist later inherited the mantle of teaching, and since then Qingyun Peak has been used as the chief house in all dynasties, and only the chief house is qualified to inherit the mantle of teaching.

After the development of the past dynasties, the sect now has a scale of more than a thousand people, and Qingyun ranks first in strength. In addition to the real master who has the cultivation of a saint fighter, there are also many high-level fighters, and their combat power is not weak.Due to the strength of the sect and the friendly attitude of the sect towards the imperial family, the empire favored the sect more and more.The disciples of Wuyunmen were also highly valued in the Ouyue court, and many important military personnel of the Ouyue Empire were also promoted from Wuyunmen.

The gate of Wuyunmen is built at the foot of the mountain. There are three stone gates in one piece. The middle gate is slightly larger, allowing five or six people to pass by side by side at the same time.On the top of the middle door is a raised black word: "Wuyunmen", which is vigorous and powerful, and it is said to be written by the patriarch Wuyun Taoist himself.There is no one on duty at the gate at the foot of the mountain. Walking through the gate is a bluestone-paved step.The front left, middle and right are connected with three stone roads, pointing to the three peaks of Qingyun, Baiyun and Biyun respectively. The appearance of Yunfeng is actually the pattern of four peaks embracing Qingyun.

Walking along Qingshi Road all the way to Qingyun Outer Hall, Chen Zhang and his party could already see many men in Qingyi, and these might be Qingyun disciples.At the gate of the outer hall, Chen Zhang and his entourage were stopped by the disciples on duty: "You are not allowed to enter the land of Qingyun."

Chen Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to explain his intentions, the Tsing Yi disciple on duty took a look at Lin You, said "wait", then called another younger Tsing Yi disciple to take the place of the guard, and turned around by himself.

After a while, the disciple in Tsing Yi brought a skinny man who looked about [-] back together, along the way, the skinny man complained all the way: "A wild boy who doesn't know where he came from, if he gets sent away, he'll be done, and he will disturb my cleanliness. "

At this time, Chen Zhang and others, because they were not familiar with the road, fell on the mountain road in front of them, their clothes were all torn, and they looked very embarrassed.At this moment, Chen Zhang and Ding Xiaoyou are together, and the clothes of a group of people don't look like they have any status.

When the thin man came to Chen Zhang and his party, he only took one look, and said in a cold voice, "You guys are not here in Qingyun. If no one introduces you, please leave quickly."

Chen Zhang promised Lin San that he would take Xiaoyou to apprentice with Wuyunmen. He never thought that the plot would go like this, but now he was frightened, and hurriedly begged the thin man.The thin man was unmoved, seeing that the other party did not leave, he directly threw his hand away, throwing Chen Zhang and the three of them far away, the thin man turned around and walked away without looking back.

The two adults were fine, but poor Xiaoyou's head was broken when he fell to the ground, but he held his head with one hand and didn't cry out. Chen Zhang hurried up to help him.The two men in green clothes guarding the gate just shook their heads when they saw this, expressing that they were powerless to help.Chen Zhang stared blankly at Qingyun Peak, then turned around with a blank expression, as if he wanted to leave, but he didn't want to.There were tears in Xiaoyou's eyes, but she didn't dare to let them slide down.Seeing this, a man in Tsing Yi said, "Wuyunmen Wufeng, take a look around, maybe someone can help you."

After hearing the man's words, Chen Zhang and his party seemed to be refreshed again, thanked the man a thousand times, and hurriedly turned around and went to Baiyun Peak.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yunfeng was as snobbish as Qingyun, and Chen Zhang and his party were kicked out again. They were angry that the number one sect of the empire was so magnanimous, but they were helpless. blame others.Biyun Peak only accepts women, so Lin You naturally has no chance.

Chen Zhang was hesitating whether to go to the Zicheng Second Peak on the back mountain again. Suddenly, he slipped and fell from the bluestone steps, and happened to bump into a woman with long hair in a purple robe.Chen Zhang hurriedly apologized, today was a bad day, and he didn't want to be beaten up again.But the purple-robed woman didn't care about the old man's offense at all. Instead, she looked at Xiao Linyou with a little enthusiasm, thinking about something while watching.

Lin You felt a little embarrassed and wanted to avoid it, but that sister was very beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, long hair flowing, and a slender figure. She wore a purple robe with a unique flavor, as if she was a person in a painting.He had never seen such a beautiful woman before, so he also looked at this young lady unconsciously.

"Little brother, what are you doing here?" The woman asked first.

Chen Zhang immediately explained his purpose.After the woman heard this, she beckoned to Lin You, took the pulse and felt the bone, and confirmed Xiao You's bone age, then said: "There seems to be a weak soul power fluctuation in the body, which should have potential, but if the bone age is not awakened, I am afraid it will be It's too late." Chen Zhang and his party hurriedly nodded in agreement.Pointing to Lin You, the woman in purple turned her back and said, "If you want to worship Wuyunmen, come to Ziyun Peak at Maoshi tomorrow. Remember, come alone." After finishing speaking, she walked away without looking back. up.

When Lin heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn't hide a smile on his face. "I will definitely be there on time!" He said to the back of the woman.With this opportunity, everyone was not busy, and went down the mountain to find a place nearby, waiting for the arrival of the next day.

That night, Lin You, who was tossing and turning, did not sleep. He couldn't tell whether he was excited or nervous, as if the moment that would determine the rest of his life was coming.
