Chapter 669: Sealing the Mountain
In a dense forest not far from the southwest official road.
A gust of wind suddenly blew up from the flat ground, and then a circle of light appeared on the ground. The simple lines in the circle of light gradually became complex, and finally formed an intricate formation. The light flashed for a moment, and two figures appeared in it.
The light of the formation faded away, Feng Yin panted heavily and wiped the sweat off his forehead, wishing he could sit down on the ground.
"No... Yun... Senior... you didn't tell me... this thing would consume so much spiritual energy... it almost sent me away..."
Yun Qingqing was very clear about the level of her apprentice's reincarnation, and she had no psychological burden in ordering him around:
"Not really, just practice more and it will be fine."
Fengyin: ...
Yun Qingqing curled her lips slightly, took out the Dawn Sword, threw it into the air, stood on it, and nodded at him:
"Leave."
When Feng Yin saw her flying the sword, his eyes suddenly lit up. His previous depression disappeared and he was about to go up happily.
"Wait a moment." Yun Qingqing said expressionlessly, "Put away your beard first. It's uncomfortable to look at."
Feng Yin's mouth twitched, and he silently took off the magical jade pendant from his neck, and turned back into the young Taoist priest with delicate eyebrows and eyes. Then he jumped onto the Dawn Sword and stood firmly.
Yun Qingqing made some hand gestures and soared into the sky, flying towards the mountains.
Soon, the two arrived near a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. From afar, they could see a mottled bronze mountain gate. The three characters "Tian Yi Zong" on the lintel had been eroded by moss and were blurred.
If this Tianyi Sect is indeed a mysterious sect, it is indeed very dilapidated.
Yun Qingqing opened her spiritual eyes in mid-air and did not see any large-scale blood or evil spirits, so she gave up the idea of rushing through the mountain protection formation and broke in. She landed at the foot of the mountain, in front of the bronze mountain gate.
Feng Yin looked surprised:
"I have been in the world for a while, but I have never heard of such a Tianyi Sect. I thought it was a small sect. I didn't expect it to have such a profound foundation and to have such a great mountain protection formation."
Yun Qingqing looked complicated and spoke softly:
"I didn't expect it...it really is..."
"Hmm? Senior, what did you say?" Feng Yin didn't hear her clearly and couldn't help but ask.
Yun Qingqing shook her head:
"Nothing, let's go and see if there's anyone guarding the gate."
The two climbed up the mossy stone steps and soon arrived at the gate of Bronze Mountain.
A young disciple in a gray and white Taoist robe was dozing off against the doorpost. He opened his eyes drowsily when he heard footsteps.
Yun Qingqing frowned slightly.
"You two are..." The disciple rubbed his eyes and noticed the Qiankun bag with complicated runes printed on Feng Yin's waist. He suddenly came to his senses and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
"You two... Ahem, may I ask what can I do for you two Taoist friends?"
He almost asked the two people if they had taken the wrong road. After all, although things like Qiankun Bags were not extremely rare, they were at least common in medium-sized sects and above.
Moreover, even in a medium-sized sect, those who can use the Qiankun Bag must be at least elite disciples.
For a small and unknown sect like mine, where even birds are too lazy to come and shit, the Qiankun Bag can almost be regarded as the sect's treasure.
So it’s no wonder that he felt that the two people had taken the wrong path.
Yun Qingqing's expression was somewhat complicated, and she spoke in a calm voice:
"You're right. I'm here to visit the leader of your Tianyi Sect."
As she spoke, she took out a badge and threw it to the other party.
The disciple took the badge, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then muttered the words engraved on it:
"Seven Star Hall... huh? Hmm?"
He took a long time to react before suddenly taking a breath:
"Are you from the Seven Stars Palace???"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"Please ask this fellow Taoist to inform the leader of your sect that Yun Qingqing from the Seven Stars Hall is visiting."
She didn't know if anyone here knew about Tianming Pavilion, so to avoid trouble she simply used the name of Qixing Palace. Normal sects would give her face, and at least she could meet the top leaders immediately.
"Hey, what are you reporting?" The Tianyi Sect disciple slapped his thigh, politely handed the badge back to Yun Qingqing, and said directly, "The Seven Stars Palace is a model of the Xuanmen Sect. How can we refuse you when you condescend to come to our small and insignificant sect? Please follow me, both of you."
He just turned around to lead the way, then turned back and touched the back of his head to confirm:
"Are you two really in the wrong place?"
Yun Qingqing was speechless:
"Yes, please lead the way."
The disciple nodded and happily led the two of them inside, muttering as he walked:
"But it may be difficult for you two to find our sect master. Our sect master is in seclusion all year round and cannot come out. All affairs are handled by our brothers and sisters. I will take you to see the eldest brother. I hope you two fellow Taoists will forgive me."
Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned:
"Brothers and sisters? Doesn't your sect have any elders? What about the Dharma protectors or hall masters?"
The Tianyi Sect disciple laughed at himself and sighed:
"You two are from top sects, but you don't know that in this world, spiritual energy is depleted and resources are scarce. A small sect like ours with little strength can't retain people at all. Those who have made slightly better progress in cultivation are often poached by other sects. Of course, there are also those who can't stay and leave... If the few people who stay still have those strict hierarchical systems, they would have dispersed long ago."
"So, we in Tianyi Sect don't have any elders. Since the previous Sect Master and Master passed away, the remaining people have been calling each other equals. Daily affairs are decided by a few older brothers and sisters. Even our Sect Master..."
Yun Qingqing was listening to him seriously when suddenly a loud shout came from the front.
"Who?"
I saw a man in his thirties with a stern face walking towards me quickly, and the jade pendant on his waist jingled as it hit his sword.
He glanced at the few people sharply, and when he saw Yun Qingqing, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly fell on Feng Yin next to him. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a few more seconds, and finally frowned and looked at the disciple.
"Jiang Ping, who are these two people? Who allowed you to bring them in?"
Feng Yin got furious when he heard his tone. He was about to speak but was stopped by Yun Qingqing, so he did not lose his temper.
Yun Qingqing didn't say anything. Since the other party was asking about the disciples of her own sect, she would let them solve it themselves first.
The disciple named Jiang Ping seemed to have not expected this attitude and was somewhat at a loss:
"Fourth Senior Brother... these two are from the Seven Stars Hall, and they said they want to meet the Sect Master... I was afraid that there was something important, so I planned to take them to meet the eldest senior brother."
Yun Qingqing clearly saw that when the visitor heard the words "Seven Stars Store", a hint of hidden fear appeared in his eyes.
However, when he turned to the two of them again, his expression had softened, and he clasped his hands and said politely:
"You two have come at an inopportune time. Our sect master is not here, and we have some matters to attend to recently. We will close the mountain from now on and will not receive any outside visitors. Please forgive us."
"Ah?" Feng Yin couldn't help but ask, "Why is the mountain closed? Your fellow Daoist Jiang didn't say that just now."
Jiang Ping also looked at the fourth brother in bewilderment:
"This... When has our sect ever closed the mountain... I haven't heard of any major events recently..."
The fourth brother interrupted him and said calmly:
"This is what the brothers and sisters just discussed and decided. You have been guarding the mountain gate, so of course you don't know."
As he said this, he turned to Yun Qingqing and the other two and said politely again:
"You two, please go back."
