The Great Doorway of Daoism

Chapter 157



After entering the southern city of Qi, I saw rows of houses and shops in the city, cars on the street, crowds of people everywhere, bustling like brocade, which really became the largest city in the East.

Shang Chenxi and his party went directly to an industry in the city and settled down a little. The seven hualanting people were led to a room.

Lu Duanshao, the first deputy hall leader of Tiangang hall at Vientiane gate, and Shu Luntai of Tianji peak have been waiting here for a long time.

The two men had just finished lunch when they saw seven disciples. Lu Duanshao, with red hair, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, stood up, smiled and said in his voice: "ha ha, the boys are coming, very good, very good, your performance in Haitang city is in the eyes of the Hall Lord, which is beyond my expectation."

"You even used five people's shares to keep piling up in the three mountains to accompany the moon. It can be regarded as a record of our door. When the Lord of our temple goes back to ask for help."

Lu Duanshao and Shu Luntai have been secretly following the merchant team on this trip. When they fell into the Yan Lu formation that day, Lu Duanshao had planned to attack the array leader at an appropriate time. Of course, in the end, it was not necessary.

Later, outside Haitang City, it was Lu Duanshao, who had entered the Seven Star Big Dipper territory, who released a strong breath, deterred fan Lihua and ensured that everyone left safely.

Lu Duanshao continued, "after today, the Lord of our hall will take over you in an all-round way, and we will strive to win the power of Qinan city. Another teacher in Tiangang hall leads the reserve team to stay elsewhere. Now I'll discuss some things with Shang Er Shao. You have dinner first. In the afternoon, we'll go to ziyue Xianzong to report for the competition."

"Are you ready for the meal? The staple food is the famous rice noodle snack in the city. Ha ha, it's called Qinan brain powder. It's a pot of stew of pig brain, cow brain and other brains. It's called grounded, but I've tried it. It tastes really good. It's big and full. Use it slowly. I'll see you later."

After everyone has used the brain powder, Lu Duanshao and Shang Chenxi have finished their discussion. He and Shu Luntai will report to the leading hualanting seven people. In addition, Yue Guanghan and Hu sada, one of Hu's father and son who arrived before them, will also follow the team in the name of Vientiane gate entourage, so as to have a chance to watch the game.

In the afternoon, eleven people packed up and found the Mountain Gate of ziyue Xianzong according to the address.

The competition venue and the residence of each sect team are arranged in ziyue Xianzong, which also shows that ziyue Xianzong covers a vast area.

A few days before the start of the race, there are people coming and going in front of the mountain gate, which is very lively.

The Qitian gate, the Mountain Gate of ziyue Xianzong, is very imposing. It is more than 20 feet wide and 10 feet high. It is towering. The emblem of the sect is hung on the front beam. In the middle is a large sword pointing upward, with mighty spiritual power and pressure flowing from the hilt to the tip of the sword.

After reporting the name of the free Vientiane gate, it didn't take long for ziyue Xianzong, who was specially responsible for receiving the distinguished guests of the big school, to welcome them out.

The disciples of Vientiane sect always welcome an old man with red hair like Lu Duanshao. The old man's beard and hair are combed meticulously, his face is glossy, and only his face, corners of his eyes and forehead are covered with wrinkles. He looks much older than Lu Duanshao.

However, the age of the characters in Xianzhou can not be judged simply by their appearance. Many experts don't care about their appearance and are unwilling to spend their spiritual power on their faces to reduce the traces of years.

After seeing Lu Duanshao, the visitor shouted, "I said who is the leader of the team at the Vientiane gate this time. It turned out to be Lu deputy hall Lord. I haven't seen you for a long time. Haven't we met for 20 years?"

Lu Duan Shaogong arched his hand and said, "yes, come on, let me introduce you. The daily affairs of ziyue Xianzong are in the charge of the five halls of ziyue, Yue, Tian, Qi and Shan. In addition to the fact that Zitang is directly under the control of the famous elders in the mountain, the city belongs to the yuezi hall, which has the greatest power. This is Gu Hongxiao, the deputy hall leader of Yuetang. Come and see me."

Gu Hongxiao nodded slightly and said, "Lao Lu, I naturally know your ability, but your Vientiane sect is a little big. What about other big sects? They are also led by a famous sect elder. It's good for you to only send you, the deputy hall master of Tiangang hall. Don't you despise the competition hosted by ziyue Xianzong?"

Lu Duanshao picked his red eyebrow and replied, "vice hall leader Gu is serious. This is because we attach importance to it. Although the disciples here are young, they are all elite leaders selected by thousands in the younger generation. Therefore, we don't need those old friends to come forward. This seat is enough."

Gu Hongxiao made a ha ha: "I see. It's OK. Since there are no talented people in the first stage of youth, it's understandable to let the young people walk around and have a long experience this time, and strive for better ranking and performance in the next competition."

Lu Duanshao: "it's easy to say. I've heard that Guizong will fight with the strongest lineup of heroes among the young generation of three heroes, one hero and one hero. At that time, if you bite our iron blood Youth League and bleed your teeth, you won't look good on your face."

Lu Duanshao and Gu Hongxiao both had smiles on their faces. What they could say was mixed with guns and sticks, soft and hard. They did not give in to each other. As soon as they came up, they smelled a little gunpowder.

Gu Hongxiao snorted, "come and take Zixiang gate to their residence. It's good to make arrangements. Don't neglect it. The hall leader will not go there if he wants to receive other sects."

Another deacon came and led the people inside.

On the way, the Deacon handed over a batch of waist cards and jade slips and said: "There are still a few days before the start of the game. Before the official start, you can freely enter and exit the gate, the field and the resident area with your waist card, except in the important places of our residence. In addition, after the start of the game, if there are other alternate disciples who want to enter and leave, they must be picked up by the team leader. In addition, these jade slips have detailed instructions on the rules of the game. Please watch by yourself."

The buildings, halls and pavilions in ziyue Xianzong are intricately distributed. They are decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and luxurious.

The residence arranged for you at the Vientiane gate is a single family, called "leisure court", which is very spacious. Everyone lives in a single room, and there are many vacant rooms. There is an independent hot spring bubble pool in the room, but the location is too remote, which is not very consistent with Vientiane gate's booming position in the east of Xianzhou.

After living in, Lu Duanshao called seven people from hualanting for a small meeting.

Lu Duanshao said, "you have just seen and heard that ziyue Xianzong is not particularly friendly to our free Vientiane gate. There is naturally a reason for this."

"Ziyue Xianzong sect was established earlier, more than ten thousand years ago. It has always been a dominant group and has occupied the throne of overlord in the east of Xianzhou for a long time. Therefore, it has developed the habit of being arrogant and above the top. It bullies and suppresses other sects. Many of the sect's disciples are always arrogant and domineering."

"Our sect is a new sect. More than a thousand years ago, we couldn't get into the first echelon of Xiuzhen sect in the east of Xianzhou. Ziyue Xianzong didn't pay attention to us at that time. They have been mainly suppressing the sect ranked second and third."

"However, in the last millennium, the development momentum of our school has been very rapid. From the high-end combat power to the reserve force, from the territory actually controlled to the influence on Xianzhou affairs are steadily improving."

"As you know, our school has always kept a low profile, followed the practice of forbearance first, hiding one's strength and biding one's time, and buried oneself in development, so it didn't attract much attention from ziyue Xianzong at first."

"But when the sect is big and powerful, it is like an elephant stepping into the pool. No matter how light and light it is, it will inevitably splash water and waves. In this way, it still attracts the attention of ziyue Xianzong."

"At present, their key prevention objectives and focus are still not on us, but our door has entered the list of suppression. Too much conflict should not exist for the time being, but all kinds of constraints and friction are inevitable."

"There must be a sense of harm to others and a sense of defense against others. It is also based on these considerations to arrange you inside, the reserve team outside, and the strength of friendly forces such as businessmen, so that the parties can take care of each other. Don't think too much about these things. Your task is to step up practice and promotion."

"As for this competition, the door has no rigid ranking index requirements for you. Just try your best. Just experience and gain a lot, and go as far as you can."

"Don't belittle yourself. It is said that the average age of this youth elite competition is up to 30 or 40 years old, and the average cultivation is in the early stage of jiedan territory. However, you are only in your twenties, and you have reached the stage of entering the house and Dengfeng in the three mountains with the moon. Gu Hongxiao and I say that we are not afraid of any heroic team, and it's not just a big face and fat man."

"Let's talk about the strength of ziyue Xianzong. It is undeniable that he is indeed a big Mac. The number of sect disciples is more than 10000, and the number of strong ones is even more large. At present, we can only catch up with him in terms of comprehensive strength."

"Ziyue Xianzong focuses on sword cultivation. Although it has also begun to introduce and develop other categories and skills in recent years, the traditional faction that advocates Zhang Jianxiu has an absolute advantage."

"Based on the etheric mixed yuan skill, they take the void limitless sword as the main pulse. After ten thousand years of development, they have formed a rich sword defense system. Duandi is unique and powerful. You have all known these in the door."

"I've seen the jade slips. The rules and schedule of the competition are explained in great detail. Come down and study it yourself. If you don't understand anything, just ask elder martial brother Shu Luntai."

"To put it simply, this competition is a little strange. There will only be a seven person team battle, and other forms such as individual competitions have been cancelled. There are hundreds of large and small sect teams participating in the competition, and lots are drawn in front of them for knockout competitions. After many rounds, there are resurrection competitions and circular qualifying competitions until the top ten and the top three are determined."

"In the next few days, after getting familiar with the venue, I will personally guide you to practice together several times, but the intensity will not be too strong, mainly to rest and get ready."

A few days later, the elite disciple competition of Xiuzhen sect in the east of Shuxuan Xianzhou opened as scheduled.
