Chapter 186 Huashan is dangerous in the world

"Old Heaven Grandfather bless you, you have finally arrived."

After seeing Li Yan, Manager Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around, shook his head and whispered, "I took people up the mountain, and news kept coming all the way. The reward offered attracted many Green Forest Hero, who were looking for you everywhere."

"I've been on tenterhooks these past few days. I've been asking people to pay attention to the news. I only found out last night that you had gone up the mountain."

Li Yan apologized. "I was delayed by something yesterday and didn't have time to go find Senior Wan. I hope you can forgive me."

"Just go up the mountain safely. We don't use these false etiquettes between us." Manager Wan shook his head.

"Don't stay at the door, let's go in and talk." Li Yan smiled slightly and raised his hand to invite a few people in Wangxian Temple.

In Wing Room, when everyone met, they naturally exchanged greetings.

Looking at this comfortable and elegant room, Yuan Ba clicked his tongue and praised it, his eyes full of envy, "Brother Li, you guys are living so comfortably here, pity us, we have been really suffering these past few days."

Li Yan was surprised. "Huashan Mountain has beautiful and majestic scenery, how can you suffer?"

When Yuan Ba heard this, he immediately complained, "There are so many people coming. Those people from the orthodox religion and the Dharma lineage can still have a place to live. We are not welcome at the side door, so we can only pitch tents and make bunks on the floor."

"Okay, it's as cold as a ghost every night, and my master has rheumatism..."

As he said that, he rolled his eyes and said with a shy face, "Brother Li, seeing that you have a lot of connections, can you make some arrangements so that our masters and disciples can also live here?"

When his master heard this, his expression immediately changed and he reprimanded. "Shut up! You shameless thing."

Li Yan heard this, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "To be honest, we only moved here because of the friendship of our seniors, so we don't want to trouble others."

Of course he would not say it was because of the suppression of Drought Demon. After all, the matter was of great importance, and Pure Yang Palace certainly did not want this matter to be leaked and others to make irresponsible remarks.

Wangxian Temple In the front hall, Yu FengZi, who was burning incense and meditating, moved his ears slightly to hear all their words.

Seeing Li Yan cover up this matter, I couldn't help but feel good about him.

Manager Wan took the opportunity to change the topic and said with a troubled face, "I rushed to see Brother Li this time, but something went wrong."

Li Yan frowned when he heard this and asked, "What's the matter?"

Manager Wan said helplessly, "I originally made an appointment with that old man, but he was temporarily ill and bedridden. He couldn't go to Huashan. He probably won't be able to turn on the furnace recently."

"Please tell that senior that your health is still important." Li Yan said in relief, but couldn't help but frown slightly.

He had a lot to do when he went up the mountain this time.

The first is to purchase spiritual objects and help several people recreate magical weapons.

The second is to use the cave heaven spiritual orifice Building the Tower.

Especially his weapons. After the family heirloom sword was damaged, he has been using the sword Yao San grabbed. Although it was forged by Hundred Refined Steel, it is always a bit awkward.

This time, he wanted to make a magical sword.

Ordinary craftsmen couldn't take on this job, so Manager Wan helped pull the strings and invited someone, the old craftsman who carried out the sacred tower.

We originally made an appointment to go up the mountain together, but unexpectedly, we suddenly fell ill. Now, I am afraid that the trip will be delayed.

But if someone else helped me with this kind of thing, how can I be harshly criticized?

Seeing that Manager Wan was still blaming himself, Li Yan said a few words of relief, turned to look at Yuan Ba master and apprentice, and said with a smile, "You two are here, but something happened?"

He and the two of them just met by chance. Although he got the treasure from Yuan Ba, they had had a fight before and their relationship was not close.

Now that he is coming to the door, there must be something else going on.

Sure enough, Master Yuan Ba clasped his fists and said solemnly, "I haven't introduced you yet, I Quan Wanzhong is considered a side branch of Meishan Lineage."

"I came to Huashan this time for a kind of Spiritual Material white copper. I want to build a mountain gate Ancestral Altar to become the lower courtyard of Meishan Mountain."

"Everything else is ready, but the quantity of this item is insufficient. I have taken the liberty to come here, but I have a merciless request. I hope you can be merciful and let me buy more."

Yuan Ba, who was on the side, also held up his hands and smiled, "Master is a thin-skinned person, and he was forced to come here by me."

"Once this treasure house is opened, the orthodox religion and the Dharma lineage will take it first. It is estimated that there will not be much left. If you scramble for it randomly, the price will definitely increase."

"My master and disciple can't bear it, so I beg you all to show your support, otherwise the altar of the Patriarch will be ruined."

"This is something I can help a lot with."

Li Yan smiled when he heard this and said, "To be honest, I am barely a member of the Orthodox Church and will be among the first to buy. Senior, I will try my best to help you buy as much as you need."

Quan Wanzhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's better this way, thank you for your work Young Hero Li. I need fifty kilograms, so I'll go back and get the money and deliver it before I open the cellar."

After that, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

The master and apprentice came out of Wangxian Temple, and not long after they left, Yuan Ba suddenly said, "What is the origin of this Li Yan?"

"Not only can I live in Wangxian Temple, which is reserved only for elders in the inner courtyard, but I can also be one of the first batch to enter. Many Orthodox disciples are still crowded in Datongpu."

Quan Wanzhong heard this, slapped him hard on the head, and reprimanded. "How many times have I told you, when traveling in the world, don't meddle in other people's business."

"Especially when it comes to other people's privacy, don't inquire about it at will. Young Hero Li has a way. It's a favor. You can just find a way to repay it in the future. If you talk too much, maybe this friendship will turn into enmity."

"Yes, yes... what the master said makes sense!"

Yuan Ba agreed with a hippie smile.

"Alas~" Quan Wanzhong looked at him and shook his head.

To be honest, he himself was not good at dealing with people, so he wanted to find someone who could talk after he established Ancestral Altar.

But he didn't expect that this apprentice was talking nonsense and his face was getting thicker and thicker.

I just hope that with more experience in the future, I can speak and act more steadily.

In Wing Room, after Yuan Ba master and apprentice left, Manager Wan immediately looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "This time, there is important news, I have to inform Brother Li."

"Fire Bear Gang, I'm afraid that thing isn't over yet!"

"Although Xiong BaoDong is dead, there are several Regional Military Commissioner officials standing behind him. This Fire Bear Gang is actually Capital Commandery Department's private money bag."

"It is precisely because of this reliance that Fire Bear Gang has been able to be arrogant and domineering in Chang'an for so many years. Now that Xiong BaoDong is dead, Capital Commandery Department's money bag is gone, and he will definitely take it out on you."

"I accidentally heard some rumors that Fire Bear Gang and Qiao Family are offering rewards for hidden flowers. Behind this, I am afraid those officials are adding fuel to the fire."

"Brother Li, you must be careful."

Li Yan After listening, he looked relaxed and said with a slight smile, "It doesn't matter, after the trip to Huashan is over, we will leave here and travel to Divine Land various places."

"No matter how long his Capital Commandery Department hands are, he can't find us."

"So good."

Manager Wan Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of envy, and said with emotion, "When I was young, I also wanted to travel around the world, travel thousands of miles, and see all the beautiful scenery in the world."

"It's a pity, hey..."

"When I was young, First Gate was thinking about a successful career. When I was middle-aged, I had a family business and had to take care of a lot of people. Now, I can't move anymore."

"Brother Li, while you are young, go out and walk around more."

After some sighs, Manager Wan said goodbye and left.

He went up the mountain with a group of people, all of whom were members of the Chang'an craftsman family. When he came this time, he also wanted to buy some Spiritual Material. There were also many things to do.

After Manager Wan left, Yu FengZi, who was meditating in the hall, was thoughtful, turned slightly sideways, and whispered a few words to Yu HanZi next to him.

Then, he got up and came towards Wing Room.

When he came to the door, Yu FengZi knocked a few times. After waiting for a response from inside the house, he pushed the door open and walked in. He cupped his hands and smiled, his eyes full of enthusiasm. "Fellow laymen, the cellar will be opened tomorrow."

"It's not easy to come here, why not let Pindao accompany you to take a look at the scenery of Huashan Mountain?"

"So good."

Li Yan smiled when he heard this and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Now on Mount Huashan, Orthodox Xuan Gate, Dharma lineage and side sect masters gather together. They don't want to cause trouble, so they are here to wait for tomorrow's ritual ceremony.

But if Yu FengZi is with you, there won't be any trouble.

When they heard that they wanted to visit Huashan, both Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei readily agreed. After all, it is not easy to go there.

Yan Jiuling was even more excited and quickly got up to prepare.

Huashan is the strategic point of Daoism, guarded by the Pure Yang Palace, and a place where Guanma Guanzhong soldiers and horses gather. Except for large-scale national sacrifices, on weekdays the pilgrims can only reach North Peak at most, and they are not allowed to move forward.

Especially now that the cellar is open, it has been closed to traffic starting from Thousand-Foot Crevice. You have to follow the crowd to visit to make it worthwhile.

Only when Lu San heard that there were many mountains High Person nearby, he shook his head and refused. Rather than deal with people, he would rather stay in the house and play with his gourd and falcon.

Li Yan did not force himself, and left with the others following Yu FengZi.

Not long after leaving Wangxian Temple, after bypassing several rocky slopes, a broad platform suddenly opened up before our eyes.

Huashan Mountain is a huge rock with undulating terrain, so the platform is not smooth either, with some heights and some lows.

More than twenty Daoist boys are practicing swords above. What they are practicing is Pure Yang Sword. The figures are flying, the swords are flashing, and they are jumping between the rocks at very fast speeds.

In the distance are the cliffs and the sea of clouds. It looks like they will fall off the cliff at any time, which is very dangerous, but these Daoist boys have already mastered the sword skills and are extremely proficient in their body skills, so they are not afraid.

"Okay!"

Li Yan couldn't help but cheer in a low voice.

Pure Yang Institute is worthy of the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect school.

This Pure Yang Palace in Huashan is just one of them.

The few Daoist boys at the foot of the mountain had amazed him before, but he didn't expect that there were many more here. Any one of them would be a capable and pillar-like presence in the world.

While practicing swordplay in such a dangerous place, their swordsmanship was unconsciously contaminated by the charm of Huashan Mountain. It was elegant and precipitous, and had the aura of Xiyue Gengjin Solemn and Killing Intent, which was very extraordinary.

Yu FengZi smiled and stroked his beard lightly and said, "They are all new disciples, which made Lay Master Li laugh."

After saying that, he took a step forward and led them up a ridge.

This is a dangerous road leading to other peaks. The terrain is extremely steep, like walking on a thin edge, with thousands of feet of ravines, and seas of clouds billowing on both sides, as if walking on a dragon's spine.

At this time, the sun shines through the thin clouds, coating the sea of clouds with a golden edge, like a dream.

The strong wind howled, causing everyone's clothes to flutter, which not only had the extraordinary charm of the Immortal Family, but also made people feel creepy.

As soon as Yu FengZi was about to introduce it, Yan Jiuling opened his eyes wide and said with surprise on his face, "Could this be Azure Dragon Ridge?"

Yu FengZi nodded slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with admiration in his eyes, "The layman has extraordinary knowledge."

"Don't dare."

Yan Jiuling was in a good mood due to his mother's illness. He was in a good mood and explained to everyone with a beaming smile, "It is said that when Han Yu visited this place, he was so frightened that he could not go up or down, so he wrote a last letter and threw himself off a cliff to ask for help."

"Hahaha..." Sha LiFei said happily, "These Han Yu generation of literary giants don't have much courage."

Li Yan glanced sideways at him and raised the corners of his mouth, "Uncle Sha, when you say this, can you stop shaking your legs?"

"If you are afraid, just go back first."

"Joke! Am I afraid?"

Sha LiFei cocked his neck and pretended to be calm, but his body was very honest. He turned his head and looked away, not daring to look at the cliff below.

He had also boarded Tai Bai Mountain, but for some reason he felt terrified when he got here.

The surroundings were filled with clouds and mist, and it was bottomless. As long as he looked around, he felt like he wanted to fall headlong, which made his heart jump into his throat.

Yu FengZi didn't say anything when he saw this, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.

After passing Azure Dragon Ridge, the terrain instantly became flat. After reaching a mountain peak, Yu FengZi said with a smile, "This place is Chaoyang Peak. It is an excellent place to watch the sunrise."

"In the past, Chen Tuan Old Ancestor and Song Dynasty Grand Ancestor played here and won three games in a row. Grand Ancestor was exempted from the Huashan tax."

"Everyone, the journey ahead is a bit difficult and dangerous."

After saying that, he led a few people to a cliff, jumped up, climbed down the rope along the cliff, climbed to the bottom, and turned around again in mid-air.

At this moment, the clouds and mist are billowing, and Yu FengZi really lives up to his name. His figure is light and elegant, as if he is riding the wind in the clouds.

Yan Jiuling looked at it, his scalp suddenly became numb, and he looked a little uncomfortable. "This is Leap of the Falcon, I really can't pass it, that's all."

Sha LiFei stretched his head and took a look, then turned his head, swung his hands repeatedly, and shouted, "Forget it, let's go back, it's just a trip to the mountains, don't risk your life here."

The terrain here Leap of the Falcon is far more difficult and dangerous than in previous lives, and the snow is slippery, so we can only rely on a few hemp ropes tied to the rocks.

Moreover, all the famous mountains and rivers in this world are covered by Innate Firm Qi, causing the sea of clouds to billow. Although it looks like Immortal Family, it is also more thrilling to look at.

Li Yan shook his head and said with a smile, "The Daoist priest is just joking with you. If you wander around, there should be other ways to go around."

He had been to Huashan in his previous life and also walked through Leap of the Falcon. He seemed to remember that there was another way, but he didn't know if this world had been opened.

However, Sha LiFei shook his head just like Pellet Drum, determined not to pass, and held on to Wang Dao Xuan tightly, "Daoist Master, let's watch the sunrise here."

Although Wang Dao Xuan was interested, seeing that Sha LiFei and Yan Jiuling didn't leave, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That's fine, I'm dizzy just looking at them."

"Then you just wait for me here."

Li Yan had no choice but to jump down like Yu FengZi.

He was agile and nimble, like a monkey, he easily passed through Leap of the Falcon and disappeared into the vast sea of clouds in an instant.

"Why do Daoist priests play tricks on me?"

After catching up with Yu FengZi, Li Yan asked with a smile.

Yu FengZi was standing on the cliff, the mountain wind blew the sleeves of his Daoist robes flying, he smiled slightly and said:

"Don't be surprised, Mr. Li, there are just some things that I need to talk about in private..."
