Chapter 215 Steady
As he thought of this, more people appeared on the road ahead. The roadsides were no longer filled with fields and meadows, but villages gradually appeared.

In the common impression, villages are usually built in the middle of fields so that farmers can work in the fields. However, the villages near Dajie Mountain are mostly distributed on both sides of the road. The side close to the main road is full of wing rooms similar to the Xue family's with fully open doors. There are signs in front of the houses - food shops, foot shops, goods shops, ready-made clothing shops, weapon shops and so on.

There were many people on the roadside when they passed by. It was obvious that many of them came from far away and stopped here for a while. Li Wuxiang was thinking about the volcano while looking to both sides, and he saw a very familiar scene -

A tall and thin man, who looked to be in his fifties, white and plump, wore a navy blue Taoist robe, had shiny hair and beard, and was dressed very smartly. He was carrying a sword on his back and holding a whisk in his hand. He was standing in front of a food shop, looking up slightly and shouting.

The people who were shouting were the dozen or so people in front of him. Judging from their clothes, they all seemed to be living well, even wealthy. Many of them had servants with them, and were asking them to fan them. Others had borrowed tables from food stores and were setting out their own food.

The man in the Taoist robe wiped the sweat from his neck and face with his sleeves, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the distant Dajie Mountain and spoke loudly. Because there were many people and cars nearby, Li Wuxiang could only vaguely hear some fragments -

"...Servants are not allowed. I only took your money. Servants are also people. It will cost one thousand taels to take them with me..."

"...We should go up the mountain as soon as the sun sets. Today's time is right..."

"...When the time comes, follow them. I can't go back to find you if you get lost in the mountains..."

What does this look like? The tour guide he was in his past life!
There were more than one person like him, and there were at least five or six teams on the roadside. When he was in Pingshan City, he heard someone shouting that he was going to take people to Dajie Mountain, and when he got here, he really saw it.

Tang Qillang said that the entire Dajie Mountain was under restrictions, and ordinary people could not go up there. Even some practitioners could only barely see through the formations and fog, and wander around the Dajie Mountain. It seemed that this man was that kind of person - a half-baked person who could only attract wealthy ordinary people.

When he was thinking about whether to go up the mountain with Tang Qilang, the Great Tribulation Mountain was still far away, at least a hundred miles away. When he was distracted to look at the people on the roadside, the car had only traveled a few dozen steps. But when the car left the village and the three horses only traveled a hundred steps, the Great Tribulation Mountain that seemed far away suddenly filled the sky in front of him.

A whole mountain wall suddenly appeared from the front, towering to the sky, blocking the setting sun and casting a broad, deep shadow on the ground. The plain in front disappeared, and the lush trees filled the front of the field of vision like giants in a row. The originally wide road was made to look like a path, timidly winding into the towering trees.

On the left and right sides, the mountains that collapsed three thousand years ago have become two continuous barriers, and the lavender smoke extends along with them, filling up the area as far as the eye can see, as if there is only this mountain left between heaven and earth.

When Tang Qillang saw the momentary astonishment on Li Wuxiang's face, he felt that the swordsman was mesmerized by the magnificent spectacle before him, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Master, can you smell it? Sulfur is the essence of fire, and mercury is the most spiritual when it forms cinnabar. This Dajie Mountain is the most spiritual place in the world. Just smell it and you will smell the medicinal fragrance. Those people we saw just now can't find this path. They can only lead people to walk around the foot of the mountain on both sides. But even if they walk like that, they can smell the medicinal smell of lead and mercury elixir on Dajie Mountain. It means that Emperor Taiyi is still refining elixirs in the mountains!"

What the hell is the smell of medicine! At this time, Li Wuxiang only took a slight sniff and smelled the strong smell of sulfur in the air!
But the carriage was already moving into the forest, so he could not hesitate any longer. He could only think that if something really happened, it might not happen today. Besides, since he could go to Lingshan and had the illusion of Ranshan, he should have no problem protecting himself. He just hoped that at least nothing would happen at the alliance meeting - he did not have a good impression of the people of the Thirty-Six Sects, but he did not have a bad impression of them either. If the people here were taken away by the volcanic eruption, I am afraid that the Six Mysterious Sects would really sweep the world!

The carriage started to go along the winding mountain road. However, because the Great Robbery Mountain was so huge, the winding mountain road was built to be quite flat and wide, and it looked like a gentle slope with slight ups and downs. When the sun completely set, the carriage had reached the halfway point of the Great Robbery Mountain.

When Li Wuxiang was on the road, he had seen a row of houses on the mountain. Now he could see them more clearly - the houses were all lit up, and they were scattered among the trees, one after another. They looked like palaces high in the sky, so beautiful that they didn't seem like the scenery of this world.

So at this time, there were lights on the side of the road - the small stone niches placed on the side of the road must have been cast with some magic, gathering fireflies or other light-emitting insects. Although they could not illuminate the road, they could mark the route.

It was not until after turning another corner that the road was truly lit up - this place was almost exactly the same as the gate of Ranshan Mountain. There was a wide stone platform, which was full of carriages and horses, and there were some disciples of the sect taking care of it, all holding lamps.

Going up from this stone platform, there is a very wide staircase that can accommodate five or six people walking side by side, extending all the way to another stone platform above. And there, even here, you can see a very huge mountain gate archway that looks like it was carved out of a whole huge stone - "Dajie Dongtian".

The carriage stopped. The disciples of the thirty-six sects who were watching over the carriages and horses on the stone platform were originally chatting, but when they saw the carriage, they all looked over here.

Tang Qillang had been chatting with Li Wuxiang all the way, and by this time he was quite relaxed. When he called him "Master", he no longer had the same cautiousness and fear as before. As soon as the car stopped, he didn't even say hello, but jumped out with one leg, stood still, and took two deep breaths.

This time some disciples recognized him and immediately exclaimed, "It's Senior Brother Tang."

When Kong Jingci got off the car, someone exclaimed, "It's Senior Sister Kong."

Lu Huaiyuan and Liu Hanzhang seemed like two taciturn people along the way, but when they appeared in front of so many disciples, they actually caused them to shout and scream.

Tang Qilang was a bit more lively and seemed to have a wide circle of friends. He even knew eight or nine of the disciples in charge of the carriages and horses. He smiled and greeted them, and pointed to one of them: "Qian Liao, how many people have come to Tianshan these days?"

Qian Liao jumped down from the car and said, "There should be more than 20 sects here. I heard that there are also demon kings and ghost kings from several caves. Brother Tang, have you found the East Emperor Seal in You Jiu Yuan?"

Tang Qilang was about to nod, but he quickly shook his head and frowned: "Did you ask this? You dare to ask!? I dare not answer!"

Qian Liao chuckled twice, then stopped laughing: "Senior Brother Tang, where is Senior Brother Mou?"

These disciples in charge of carriages and horses had originally gathered from afar. Tang Qilang recognized eight or nine of them, and Liu Hanzhang and Lu Huaiyuan also recognized a few. They were all talking.

But when Qian Liao asked "Senior Brother Mou", these people were like sparrows seeing an eagle. Their voices suddenly became smaller and they all turned to look.

Tang Qilang was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared. He stared at Qian Liao: "Why are you asking Brother Mou?" When he looked serious, Qian Liao immediately became a little frightened, shrank his body, and raised his chin behind him: "I... I saw that you were carrying Brother Mou's sword."

Tang Qilang glanced at the others and said, "Are you also here because you saw me carrying Senior Brother Mou's sword?"

No one said anything for a while. Tang Qilang thought for a moment, anger slowly showing on his face, and then turned to stare at Qian Liao: "Who told you that?! Tang Jiuzhen?!"

He shouted sternly at this time, and the people around him all shrank back. Qian Liao even took a step back and held onto the board: "Brother Tang, don't be upset. We also heard about it... But if you insist, it seems that it was Brother Tang... Ah, Brother Tang Jiuzhen who said it. We are just asking, and we don't mean anything else——"

Tang Qilang took a deep breath: "What did he say? Who did he tell him?"

"He said... I heard that he went to tell the Sword Master Mou of the Juque Sect... that Senior Brother Mou was killed by a swordsman at the bottom of Youjiuyuan, and that the swordsman was staying with you..."

He did not say the word "start" because when he said "one", Li Wutong and Zhao Yu also got off the car.

Zhao Yu was wearing Kong Jingci's earrings, which made her look gorgeous and dazzling in the night. However, no one looked at her, and they all stared at Li Wuxiang.

"So your third junior brother went to Juque Sect to complain about me." Li Wuxiang walked to Tang Qilang and sighed, "Junior brother Tang, you said he was like a child. It seems that he really has a childish temper."

Tang Qilang opened his mouth awkwardly, but didn't say anything. He just sighed: "Sect Master, I shouldn't--"

Li Wuxiang waved his hand and looked up the mountain - from here he could walk up the stone steps to the platform where the archway of "Dajie Dongtian" was located.

The platform they were on was used to park the carriages and horses. There were also people on the platform above, but they looked more respectable than the group of people in charge of carriages and horses below. Since this was the only way to get to the Great Tribulation Mountain, and not just anyone could come to the Great Tribulation Alliance to participate, Li Wuxiang guessed that the people there should be the disciples of various sects.

It was dark and far away, so people here might not be able to see clearly, but Li Wuxiang could vaguely see that there was a person standing on the edge of the platform, looking down.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Qian Liao: "You kept glancing up when you were talking just now. What's the matter? Do you all know that there is someone waiting for me up there?"

When Tang Qilang was angry just now, the disciples of the sect were already silent. And when Li Wuxiang spoke at this time, the group of people were even more silent. Qian Liao seemed to regret talking to Tang Qilang just now. He lowered his head slightly and looked around, as if he really hoped that Li Wuxiang would not stare at him and ask someone else.

But the people around him also lowered their eyes, and no one was willing to say anything, so Qian Liao had no choice but to raise his head again: "Ah, I...this...um..."

"Is the person waiting for me up there a mean person? Will he be angry with you just because you told me?" Li Wuxiang said with a smile, "Okay, then I won't embarrass you - is that the person you just mentioned, Master Mou Jian of the Juque Sect?"

Qian Liao smiled at Li Wuxiang with a bitter face. Li Wuxiang smiled back at him: "Got it. Thank you."

He turned and walked away, and Tang Qilang hurriedly followed him. When they reached the other side of the cart, Li Wuxiang asked, "Is that the one standing on top Master Mu Jian?"

Tang Qilang raised his eyes and looked carefully: "Master... I can't see clearly, I don't see anyone up there."

"Then Master Mu Jian is Mu Tieshan's master? What kind of person is he?"

"If it's really Sword Master Mou... he's also a Nascent Soul. He can't compare to you, Sect Master, but he's also said to be on the verge of producing a Yang God - he's been saying it for more than 20 years, and even though he hasn't produced it yet this year, his skills are already very profound."

Tang Qilang looked at Li Wuxiang's face as he spoke, and the easy-going demeanor he had just developed in the afternoon disappeared in an instant: "He is Mou Tieshan's master. He is, well, what you said just now is right, Sect Master, he is very narrow-minded. However, he is very popular in Juque Sect because he is narrow-minded and protects his shortcomings. As for his temper, it is very bad. I heard that he will not care about anything when he gets angry-"

"what is it call?"

"Oh, his name is Mou Jinchuan."

Li Wuxiang laughed: "His disciple is called Tieshan, and he himself is called Jinchuan. This man is not only narrow-minded, but also stingy."

Seeing his smile, Tang Qilang quickly smiled along. At this time, Kong Jingci came over and looked at the stage: "Master, this time it's not Brother Tang's fault. Although he and Tang Jiuzhen are fellow disciples, they are not worms in each other's stomachs after all. How could they have expected that he would dare to be so angry? If the master of Tiangong knew about this, he would definitely punish him severely. But Mou Jinchuan is a very difficult person to get along with. When it comes to revenge, he is a bit like the swordsman. I think tonight..."

Li Wuxiang took two steps forward, stood in front of the cart and looked up - the man on it was also standing there motionless, looking at him.

"I came to Dajie Mountain to do things, not to make enemies." He put his hands behind his back and looked at Tang Qilang, Kong Jingci, Liu Hanzhang and Lu Huaiyuan. "You were all present at the incident at Mu Tieshan, so you should know what happened. The Thirty-Six Sects and the Sword Sect are from the same lineage, and we have been getting along pretty well along the way. I don't want to embarrass you, so I'll give you some time."

Li Wuxiang raised his chin towards the stage and said, "Half an hour. If your people are not respectable enough and cannot persuade Mou Jinchuan to leave, don't blame me for killing the younger one and then the older one."
