Chapter 11 Taiyi Road Palace
The two of them had a full meal of bear meat and moved forward again. After a long time, more than ten days passed.
On this day, the two were traveling through the dense forest. When they crossed a mountain again, Dongfang Mo suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled Xing Wu behind him to stop.
Seeing this, Xing Wu paused and looked at Dongfang Mo in confusion.
Because Dongfang Mo had swallowed the blood coagulation beads, his facial features were much more sensitive than before. At this time, he seemed to see two strange-shaped mountains in the distance. The two mountains were adjacent to each other, showing a curved shape, which looked like two horns.
"I wonder Brother Xing saw the two mountains in front."
Dongfang Mo stood on the top of a mountain and pointed at the distance.
Seeing this, Xing Wu looked at what Dongfang Mo was counting on and nodded:
"Shajia naturally saw it, and there were more than two."
Dongfang Mo was used to Xing Wu's style, but said:
"If I expected it was good, it was more than ten miles away from here. The two mountains that looked like ox horns should be what you called ox horns."
"Among these words?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Wu was shocked and stood high and looked carefully into the distance.
But his eyesight naturally cannot be compared with Dongfang Mo. It was like a white mist from more than ten miles away. However, Xing Wu believed in Dongfang Mo's words and believed in some of Dongfang Mo's magical powers that were different from ordinary people along the way.
So the two spent more than half a day, crossing several mountains during this period, and finally they could see the two mountains in the distance that looked like Niujiao Mountain.
There is a large city vaguely at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing this, the two showed ecstasy and had no intention of stopping and resting. They stepped up their pace towards Niujiao Mountain.
However, Wangshan ran to death, and the two of them spent more than half a day and finally arrived outside the city before dark.
At first, they didn't find out, but when they arrived here, they saw clearly that the city was so huge.
The prosperity was the most common that the two of them saw. The tall city wall was made of hard granite and ten feet high. The city gates were two layers of several feet thick inside and outside, and were even watered with iron. Every three meters on the city wall, there was a guard wearing armor and holding a spear in his hands, which seemed particularly strict.
At the same time, the layout of this city is a bit strange. It is not surrounded by a circle, but forms a semicircle. In front of it is a tall city wall, and behind it is Niujiao Mountain with two mountain tops rising into the clouds.
The semicircular city wall extended dozens of miles to both sides, and there were a total of nine city gates. Each city gate was in the middle of the city gate, and each was a tower a hundred feet tall. The nine towers were like nine pillars, standing straight up on the city wall. Dongfang Mo and the others were at this time outside the city gate on the far left.
Looking at the orderly pedestrians in front of them, Dongfang Mo and the others seemed inconspicuous behind the crowd.
Perhaps it was almost night and there were not many people. Not long after, when the two approached the city gate, Dongfang Mo saw clearly that there seemed to be some strange patterns and characters on the city gate and the city wall. These patterns and characters seemed to be messy. When you look closely, you seemed to have mystery, a bit like the talismans he used to carve randomly, but they were much more complicated and mysterious than the talismans he drew.
When he paid a certain amount of tax and silver, he walked into the city gate and didn't know if it was an illusion. Dongfang Mo felt that an invisible fluctuation seemed to have swept across his body. When he looked at Xing Wu and the people around him, there was nothing unusual. Obviously, only he could find this feeling.
"Is it an illusion?"
Just when Dongfang Mo was puzzled, on the far left tower, there was an old dwarf man who was only three feet tall.
The old dwarf man was hunched back and his gray hair was braided into pigtails, randomly chaotic behind his head.
The old dwarf man sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his hands were placed on his knees, and his fingers pinched into a strange position. In front of him, there was a crystal ball the size of a human head was quietly suspended in the air.
At this time, a pair of triangular eyes suddenly opened, and the turbid eyes looked at the crystal ball in front of them.
And in the crystal ball, it was twisted, and a clear picture appeared after a moment. Two figures, one tall and one short, were Dongfang Mo and Xing Wu.
The old dwarf man stared at the two of them with expressionless expressions, but he didn't care about the others around him. He took dozens of breaths before closing his eyes and meditating. The picture in the crystal ball in front of him gradually blurred and then disappeared.
At this point, Dongfang Mo's feeling of discomfort disappeared without a trace.
Watching the night gradually descend, but the crowds are still coming and the brightly lit streets. The first thing Dongfang Mo and the other two are naturally looking for an inn to have a good meal.
They chose a seemingly good inn. The two walked in and ordered a table of wine and food, and feasted and had a meal.
Originally, Dongfang Mo was worried about how to inquire about Taiyi Dao Palace, but there were shouting sounds coming from the side, and someone was talking about it here.
After a closer look, an old man was sitting upright on a high stool, holding a folding fan in his hand, and spitting at the guests around him. Unexpectedly, he could meet his fellow travelers here, and Dongfang Mo felt a little fond of favor in his heart.
"You don't know that this city is called Niujiao City, which is named after the two mountains behind it that look like Niujiao. This city is the first city under the Taiyi Dao Palace."
"I believe that many of you are new to this city and don't know much about it. So the old man will give you a brief explanation here. If you say it well, you will make a money market. If you say it badly, you will make a personal experience for the old man."
When I heard the words Taiyi Dao Palace, many people under the seat raised their ears, and it was obvious that most of them came to these four words.
At this time, Dongfang Mo had time to notice that more than half of the guests here were teenagers like him, and some were even seven or eight years old.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mo was delighted and thought that he had come to the right place with Xing Wu this time. So he patiently listened to the old storyteller and continued...
"Why is it said that Niujiao City is the first city under the ordinary people of Taiyi Dao Palace? This starts with the recruitment of new disciples from the various sects of our human race."
"Our human race has a vast territory, and there are countless Taoist sects in the Immortal Sect, and there are many ways to recruit disciples. The most common one is that many disciples of the Immortal Sect will go to the ordinary cities under its sect to find good seedlings with spiritual roots and qualifications, and bring them back to the Immortal Sect to cultivate them well."
"In this case, although the efficiency is not high, the effect is quite significant."
"Old man, but I don't know what it has to do with Niujiao City as the first ordinary city in Taiyi Dao Palace..."
Among the crowd, there were many impatient people, and they couldn't help but ask.
Seeing this, the old storyteller was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea beside him, stroked the camellia on his face, and took a sip.
Dongfang Mo looked at the old storyteller with some contempt, but he didn't know that the old storyteller was making a mystery. But after thinking about it carefully, this is the usual method of storyteller, and then he felt relieved again.
He reached out and touched it, and found a piece of broken silver from his waist's cloth pocket. He flicked it casually, and the broken silver hit a cloth blanket under the old man's stool. At the same time, he cheered loudly: "The old man is really a witty word, good words!"
When Lao Shushu saw the silver under his feet, his eyes flashed with joy. He quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Dongfang Mo's eyes full of praise, and said intimately that the young man could teach him, and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Master,"
He then continued, "There is naturally a reason for the little old man to say this."
"You don't know that the way my Taiyi Dao Palace recruits new disciples is really different from the other two sects. Why is it different? It is because my Taiyi Dao Palace recruits disciples through this city. You only need colleagues who are interested in Taoism to come here, and there is no need for their disciples to go out to search."
"I think this is also the reason you come here." The old storyteller quipped in the eyes of everyone around him.
When everyone heard this, it seemed that the show was coming and hurriedly said:
“That’s natural.”
"I wonder how to filter it?"
"Cough cough." Lao Shuo coughed, picked up the tea next to him and took a sip of it.
Dongfang Mo's eyes were even more contemptuous. This old fox really didn't see a rabbit or a hawk. As expected, there was no good thing about the storyteller.
However, with Dongfang Mo's precedent just now, everyone didn't know the old storyteller's calculations. While cursing in their hearts, many people also took out broken silver and threw it at the blanket under the old storyteller's stool.
When the old storyteller saw the white silver flying over, he immediately smiled and continued:
"Actually, the method of Taiyi Dao Palace is very simple. Among the two Niujiao Mountains behind this city, those two mountains are amazing. That is a huge formation."
"Hiss! Formation!!" When the people around him heard this, they gasped. Many people still found it difficult to believe that there was such a huge formation in the world.
"That's the Taiyi Dao Palace. Many old immortals with profound Taoism personally made arrangements. It is difficult to enter the Taiyi Dao Palace, and it is not easy to say it is simple."
"Just everyone... cough cough..." Lao Shushu was about to pick up the teacup again.
Everyone was almost smashing the silver on the old storyteller, but they could not show any impatience. Instead, they threw a lot of silver on the blanket under the old storyteller's seat again.
"You can just pass the formation arranged by the old immortal." Old Storyteller had long no idea what he was, and said without changing his face at this time.
"I don't know how to pass the method?"
"This is simple!" After speaking, Lao Shushu reached out and pointed behind him, signaling the location of the two Niujiao Mountains, and then kept silent again.
Everyone looked angry, but they had no choice but to throw out the silver again with patience.
"Shajia killed him!" Xing Wu, who was impatient, had just stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth and was about to get up to teach the greedy old storyteller a lesson, but Dongfang Mo pressed it down and signaled not to act rashly.
Although this old storyteller is very thick-skinned, he really has two tricks. He earns a hundred taels of silver in a short while. Compared with his original name, he is simply a huge fortune.
However, I am not familiar with the place here. This old storyteller can blatantly set up a bench in this inn. Maybe it was raised by this inn. Offending him may be offended a large number of people, which is really not worth it.
Seeing Dongfang Mo blocking him, Xing Wu could only sit down in disappointment. Not only did he eat people, but Dongfang Mo's head was better than him, so he knew it clearly.
When I saw that there was no less than a hundred taels of silver on the blanket under my feet, Lao Shushu's eyes shone. Even if he was thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed at this time. After coughing twice, he said again:
"You only need to walk into the valley between the two mountains on the first day of every month."
"If you pass the formation, you will naturally enter the immortal gate of Taiyi Dao Palace. If you can't walk, you will go around and go out. Remember, there is only one chance. If you don't give up and don't pass the formation and want to break through, you will never get out!"
"this……"
When everyone heard this, they all looked shocked.
Dongfang Mo and Xing Wu looked at each other and were also extremely surprised.
...
"Puff!"
Just as the old storyteller was finished, everyone was surprised to hear it. On the corridor on the second floor of the inn, a girl about ten years old covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
The girl was wrapped in plain clothes, with a small nose and willow-leaf eyebrows. She was still young, but she had already revealed a state of extraordinary appearance. Especially her pair of smart eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Next to the girl was an old woman with silver hair and a kind face. The old woman held a crested crutch with a strange shape in her hand, and looked at the girl's eyes full of doting expressions.
