Chapter 856  The Land of Four Battles

On the fifth day of December, just after dawn, Xiao Mian and his party left Hujiazhai.

Watching the people walking away, Hu Xiner's eyes were slightly red, with traces of tears.

Because Hujiazhai was originally outside Tianxia City, so the departure of the people did not alarm too many people.

When they arrived at a hill, they split into two groups.

Xiao Mian, Yin Jiansheng, Kong Yuanren and Jing Chu stood on the north side, while Qingqiuzi and the Huo brothers and sisters stood on the south side.

"You four are the leaders of the younger generation of my Nanyue Province. Remember your mission: live - return to Nanyue Province! I don't want you to make a big name, I don't want you to accumulate a lot of wealth, only if you come back alive, you will be valuable!"

"I will obey the order of Qingqiu Patriarch!"

The four bowed and promised, just because this was the expectation of the older generation of Nanyue Province for them!

But when everyone was about to leave, Huo Longer suddenly took out something and handed it to Xiao Mian respectfully.

"Grandpa once said: If you have evil intentions and have bad intentions towards my brother and sister, then my brother and sister will have a miserable life; if you keep your promise and give my brother and sister a second life, I will entrust this thing to you, and he said: One day, this thing may be of great use!"

"..., I understand!"

Taking the legacy of the Nine-Fingered Thief with great care, Xiao Mian nodded to the Huo family brothers and sisters, with a lot of encouragement in his eyes.

After that, Xiao Mian threw out the ice glass boat, and the four people entered one after another.

The ice light flashed, and the ice glass boat carried the four people all the way north.

The night before, Qingqiuzi handed over the Xuan-level treasure ship named "Nan Zhao" to Xiao Mian as a return gift and a means of transportation for Qingqiuzi to rush back to Nanyuezhou. Xiao Mian gave Qingmu Flying Boat to Qingqiuzi. Qingqiuzi had a wood-attributed spiritual root, which was just right for him.

But the treasure ship is still faster than the flying boat. Qingqiuzi gave it to Xiao Mian as a life-saving weapon, so Xiao Mian would not use it lightly.

On a whim, Xiao Mian even gave Qingqiu Patriarch some stars.

Although the effective distance of Beidou Sinan Pan is as high as one million miles, if Xiao Mian goes deep into the hinterland of Zhongzhou in the future, he may still not be able to contact Qingqiu Patriarch.

Xiao Mian's little star is prepared for him to contact Qingqiu Patriarch smoothly after he returns to Nanyue in the future.

Watching the Bingli Boat break through the air, Qingqiuzi sighed.

Looking back at the desolate Huo brothers and sisters, Qingqiuzi smiled.

"Let's go too! Back to Nanyuezhou!"

"Yes!"

At that moment, Qingqiuzi threw out the green wooden flying boat, sent the Huo brothers and sisters into it, and he also got into the flying boat.

A flash of green light disappeared.

The hilltop was empty, only the mountain mist remained...

Besides, there were eight quiet rooms inside the Bingli flying boat, which was larger than the Qingmu flying boat.

The four of them randomly chose a quiet room, but did not separate.

"Brother Xiao! I heard that as long as you accept a specific task from the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, you can board the treasure ship as an employee of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. In that case..."

"To be honest, Brother Yuanren! I have already accepted a task!"

"Then why..."

"The Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's treasure ship is indeed fast and safe, but in that case, what about our original intention of traveling around the world?"

"This..., it was Yuanren who neglected it!"

"There is another reason why I gave up boarding the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's treasure ship. Have you three heard that: Shuiyue Cave Heaven is about to open?"

"Shuiyue Cave Heaven?"

"Yes! On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the top of the Moon Mountain; thousands of swords ring together, Shuiyue Cave Heaven!"

"I have heard of this, but I don't know what it means?"

"Mountain Moon is the home of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion. The base, Shuiyue Cave, is a secret place of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion!"

"Shuiyue Sword Pavilion? Didn't they merge into Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes! Because of this, a large part of the high-level cultivators belonging to Shuiyue Sword Pavilion in Yuelun Mountain will be relocated to Tianxia City. By then, Yuelun Mountain will transform from a headquarters to a defensive fortress in the northern border of Chu County. For this reason, Shuiyue Sword Pavilion wants to take away everything that can be taken away from Yuelun Mountain. As for those that cannot be taken away, such as Shuiyue Cave, they will simply open it and be done with it!"

"From what Brother Xiao said, we are going to..."

"To get something for free!"

"This... After all, we are not disciples of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion. It's not good to go there rashly?" It was Kong Yuanren, who was a little embarrassed. Xiao Mian smiled bitterly and shook his head, then took out a jade token and shook it: "Who said we are not!"

"You! What is this?"

"This is the Shuiyue Token issued by Shui Ruyue, the goddess of the previous generation of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion! Holding this Shuiyue Token is equivalent to being a disciple of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion and can enter Shuiyue Cave Heaven!"

"You kid! Where did this thing come from?"

"Shui Ruyue gave it to me!"

"Shui... Why should I give it to you? Why not give it to me?"

"This... Is it because I look better?"

"Are you saying that I don't look better?"

Kong Yuanren didn't say anything more after he was in tears and laughed.

After determining the destination, the four people determined the order of taking turns to control the Bingli Boat, leaving Xiao Mian alone, and the other three went into the quiet room to practice.

Xiao Mian had nothing to do, so he took out the Night Travel Brocade Clothes and started to sacrifice.

Because he missed the blood sacrifice, Xiao Mian spent a lot of time on this sacrifice, but if every magic weapon required a blood sacrifice, Xiao Mian was also a little scared.

Fortunately, a few days later, Xiao Mian was able to refine the Night Traveling Brocade Robe as he wished.

As soon as he put the night brocade clothes over his body, Xiao Mian felt that the light around him suddenly dimmed and his own shadow disappeared.

In order to confirm the efficacy of Night Walk Jinyi, Xiao Mian knocked on Jing Chu's door.

"Who?"

Jing Chu opened the door and saw that there was no one in front of the door, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. When he walked to the central control room and saw that even Xiao Mian was not there, he was surprised again.

At this moment, a black light flashed, and Xiao Mian appeared.

"how?"

"How about what?"

"Can you see me?"

"You're not right here!"

"..., I mean just now! When you opened the door just now, could you see me?"

"Oh! Is this a treasured garment!?"

Finally, Jing Chu, who was belatedly aware of the situation, discovered the night-walking brocade garment in Xiao Mian's hand.

Let Jing Chu look over the Night Walk Jinyi over and over again. Xiao Mian thought he would praise it greatly, but he didn't expect Jing Chu to leave the Night Walk Jinyi behind.

"Exotic skills and ingenuity are worthless!"

"Qi...you! You are insulting my intelligence!"

Seeing Jing Chu refining his sword behind closed doors again, Xiao Mian felt dumbfounded.

In his eyes, this Jingchu, apart from sword refining, had all other uncanny skills!

However, after testing, Xiao Mian was quite satisfied with the efficacy of Night Walk Jinyi.

It should be noted that although Jing Chu is only a high-level Jindan cultivator, as a sword cultivator, his perception ability has always been very strong. After assimilating with the Wushang Sword, his perception became even sharper.

What's more, if this night-walking brocade robe is combined with the secret technique Xiao Mian learned from "The Shadowless Way of Vacuum", it will really make the most of everything and double its power...

If even Jing Chu couldn't detect him, ordinary top-level Jindan monks might not be able to see through it either!

This is enough!

After all, the ancestor of Nascent Soul has spiritual consciousness in his body, and the night-walking brocade clothes are not enough.

In the next ten days or so, the four people took turns guarding Bingli Zhou as they headed north.

In the meantime, they encountered several great mountains and rivers, and the four of them got out of the flying boat. Although they didn't talk about sightseeing, they still had a panoramic view of the great rivers and mountains.

Occasionally, we drink and chat, but I don’t feel lonely.

Just walking and stopping like this, after spending nearly a month, we finally arrived at Yuelun Mountain.

The new year has passed, and another year has passed.

Calculating carefully, Xiao Mian has been practicing Taoism for more than thirty years.

According to the calculations of the secular world, Xiao Mian will be in his 40s this year!

Of course, according to the calculations of the cultivation world, Xiao Mian can only be regarded as a junior.

Reaching the high level of Jindan at the age of forty, this kind of cultivation speed is really beyond the reach of ordinary people - even though Xiao Mian has been secretly staying in the Zulong Residence for nearly ten years.

Besides, Yuelun Mountain at this time was extremely lively.

Yuelun Mountain is located in the northern part of Chu County.

To the north of Yuelun Mountain is the Shang Dynasty, to the east of Yuelun Mountain is Soochow Prefecture, and to the west of Yuelun Mountain is the territory of Huaxia.

It can be said that Yuelun Mountain is a place of four battles!

As the news that Shuiyue Cave was about to open spread, not only the monks from Chu County went north in large numbers, but also monks from other places such as Yin Shang Realm, Hua Xia Realm, and Soochow Province, also traveled thousands of miles to come to Yuelun Mountain. , want to find some opportunities.

This gave the four people an opportunity to take advantage of.

It should be noted that Xiao Mian has a very subtle mask at hand!

Now the four of them disguised themselves, looked at each other, and burst into laughter. Even Yin Jiansheng, who was usually stoic, couldn't help laughing.

After checking each other and finding no obvious flaws, the four of them jumped out of the ice-glass flying boat and chose to use their own light escape to complete the final stretch of the road.

Unexpectedly, before the four of them set foot on Yuelun Mountain, they were stopped by one person.

"Four fellow Taoists, please wait! Can you please listen to Xiaosheng?"

They saw that man in a white shirt, standing tall and standing on a small hill, saluting the four of them from a distance.

The four of them winked, pressed the escape light one after another, and landed on the hill.

That man was just a beginner of Jindan. When he saw the cultivation of Xiao Mian and the others, he was startled. Seeing that Xiao Mian and the others had no ill intentions, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turned out to be four seniors! It was the juniors who were abrupt!"

"It doesn't matter! You are also a Golden Core cultivator after all, we are just friends as equals!" After sizing up the man in white, Xiao Mian said awkwardly: "I don't know why my friend stopped us and four brothers?"

"This..." The man in white hesitated, and glanced at Xiao Mian and the others one by one. Then he asked without answering: "The unknown four seniors are going to Yuelun Mountain? But they are going to attend the opening ceremony on the 15th day of the first lunar month. The trial of Water Moon Cave?"

"So what?"

"I wonder if other than the four of you, there are other friends traveling with you?" When the man in white said these words, Xiao Mian frowned, but it was the man in white who quickly explained: "Four of you, please don't misunderstand me! I have to do this for you. Inquiring into the privacy of the four people, it turns out that if you want to enter the Shuiyue Cave, you must have the Shuiyue Token! Each Shuiyue Token can allow five people to enter. It is said that Shuiyue Sword Pavilion issued a total of one hundred Shuiyue Tokens. Unfortunately... "

"You didn't get the Shuiyue Order?"

"Yes! So I want to ask if the senior can let the junior..."

At this point, the man in white was quite embarrassed and stopped continuing, but Xiao Mian and others still understood what the other party meant.

A Shuiyue Token can allow five people to enter Shuiyue Cave, but Xiao Mian and his group only have four people. Obviously, the man in white wants to take a ride and enter Shuiyue Cave.

The four of them exchanged glances, and the three of Jing and Chu nodded towards Xiao Mian.

That means letting Xiao Mian have full authority to make the decision.

The man in white obviously saw what Jingchu and the other two meant, and stared at Xiao Mian with expectant eyes.

Xiao Mian was quite hesitant, and the man in white saw this, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to be enlightened, and quickly took out a storage bag and stuffed it into Xiao Mian's hand.

Xiao Mian was stunned, and took the opportunity to open it and took a look, and was stunned again...
