Chapter 1226 Lip-to-lip sniping

At this moment, I put my hands behind my back, contemplating the mysterious rune in my mind, while walking slowly on the bluestone steps leading to Mount Maoshan with Wu Sheng.

As for the other five people, they also followed closely behind Wu Sheng and me.

"Qian Yu, you broke the mountain protection formation of Mount Maoshan, the Five Elements Formation?" Wu Sheng turned his head and said in shock.

But then he shook his head: "No, the Five Elements Formation has not been broken. In my perception, the eye of the Five Elements Formation is still running, but... the speed of running is very slow, especially the speed of running of Qi, which is almost stagnant. What's going on?"

In response, I just smiled faintly and said, "I said that even if Maoshan doesn't welcome me, I still have a way to go up the mountain. Let's go. I can't maintain this state for too long."

Wu Sheng nodded, and then the middleman sped up and walked along the bluestone steps to the building complex halfway up the mountain.

Maoshan is not very majestic. Compared with those famous mountains, it is much shorter. However, the whole Maoshan exudes an inexplicable Taoist charm, which is also something that those famous mountains do not have.

The reason for this is that too many great sages and great powers have come out of Maoshan. All of these sages and great powers have passed away here. After passing away, the Qi in their bodies returned to the world, but their understanding of the Dao and the laws of heaven would be engraved in the place where they passed away and would last for a long time.

At this time, Mr. Wu next to me suddenly frowned and whispered, "It seems that some people can't sit still because we came uninvited."

I looked up and immediately saw a group of people in Taoist robes about a hundred meters away from us.

Most of these people were wearing green Taoist robes, but the leader was wearing a purple and gold Taoist robe.

This Taoist robe was extremely majestic, and there was even an embroidery of a python on the robe.

"In ancient times, only the princes could wear the purple-gold python robe. It seems that this Taoist priest is of high rank." I murmured with a smile.

Wu Sheng nodded and said, "The second elder of Maoshan, Master Jianchen, has mastered the Maoshan sword to perfection. Legend has it that anyone who gets within three meters of him will be killed by his sword."

"So powerful? Is he one of the top ten masters in the world?" I asked.

"No." Mr. Wu shook his head and said, "The Maoshan Fast Sword has too many drawbacks. It mainly embodies speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, and speed is particularly important among them. However, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, the Qi in the body will form a layer of protection for the physical body. If the Taoism is deep enough, then no matter how fast the swordsmanship is, it will be difficult to break the defense."

"I understand. The Maoshan Fast Sword is equivalent to the swordsmanship practiced by assassins. It is mainly a surprise attack. However, if you encounter a person with a strong physique or a person with high cultivation, it is difficult to be effective."

"Yeah." Mr. Wu nodded.

At this time, I saw Elder Jianchen leading a group of Maoshan disciples walking down the bluestone steps quickly. He looked at me from a distance and said with a smile, "I just cast a divination and the divination showed that a distinguished guest would come, so I hurriedly brought a group of disciples to welcome the distinguished guest. I didn't expect that the distinguished guest mentioned in the divination was Director Zhang. I have heard of Director Zhang's name for a long time. Seeing him today, I think he is really a young hero. His reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

"Thank you, Taoist priest." I smiled, returned the greeting, and then said, "But, does the hexagram really show that a distinguished guest is coming? Could it be that...something bad is happening?"

When I said this, Elder Jianchen was stunned at first, then he laughed and said, "Master Director, you are joking. How could it be that something bad is happening? My Maoshan has been established for thousands of years, and has always been committed to eliminating demons and defending Taoism. The world respects my Maoshan as a Taoist holy land. My Maoshan is... When I walk down the mountain, I am respected by the world, and I have never offended anyone in the past few thousand years. Even if there is a misunderstanding, no one will come to my Maoshan to cause trouble. On the one hand, my Maoshan respects the Three Pure Ones and the common people. Coming to my Maoshan to cause trouble is disrespectful to the Three Pure Ones and the common people. Secondly..."

Elder Jianchen paused here, stroked his beard, and looked at me with a smile.

Seeing this, I smiled faintly and said, "Secondly... I guess no one dares to cause trouble in Maoshan, right?"

As soon as I said this, Elder Jianchen's face immediately showed a trace of pride. He nodded proudly and said, "Director Zhang is right. My Maoshan has been established for thousands of years. That's a full thousands of years. I don't know how many sects have disappeared in the long river of history, but my Maoshan has been enduring and has been established as a state religion many times. With this foundation, other sects cannot compare."

"Yes, the foundation of Maoshan is indeed incomparable to other sects. Oh, by the way, I heard that there is a wonder on the top of Maoshan. When the founder of the sect established the religion, a golden lotus broke through the ground and took root on the top of Maoshan. When Maoshan was established as a state religion for the first time, the golden lotus also bloomed for the first time. Counting it, this golden lotus should have been growing in Maoshan for thousands of years. Since I'm here, I also want to see this wonder of the world. I wonder, Master Chang, whether I can have the honor to see it?"

After I finished speaking, I looked at Taoist Jianchen with a smile, but his face sank when he heard it. The pride just now disappeared, replaced by a gloomy face.

"Director Zhang, you came at an unfortunate time. The golden lotus is not in bloom. If Director Zhang wants to see it, I can go and invite Director Zhang to see the lotus

when it blooms." "Haha, blooming? Will it bloom again?"

My words made Elder Jianchen's face change slightly. The other Maoshan disciples were even more furious. They stared at me with their eyes wide open, as if they were going to fight if they disagreed with me.

"Nonsense!"

"Arrogant and ignorant!"

"How dare you!"

The Maoshan disciples shouted at me. Some of them even looked like they were about to give it a try. Seeing this, the people behind me all stepped forward and stood in front of me. Even Wu Sheng took a step forward.

In response, I just smiled faintly: "I have also heard of the legend of the Golden Lotus of Fortune. Now, your Maoshan Sect has closed the mountain and locked the door, while the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain is a dazzling scene. In the future, at least for fifty years, your Maoshan will be suppressed by Longhu Mountain. And if... I don't die and can firmly sit in the position of the reserve leader of Wushu Mountain, then your Maoshan will never be able to turn over. Elder Jianchen, do you believe it?"

After I finished speaking, I looked at Elder Jianchen with a smile.

But Elder Jianchen's face was gloomy, and the hand that was stroking his beard was shaking slightly because of anger.
