Chapter 1350 A noble person?
After giving the ultimatum to Hanfeng Dongtian, Ye Chunyang gave them some time to prepare for evacuation, so he was not in a hurry to leave.
So after flying slowly for a day and night, Ye Chunyang stopped in a small town.
This place is different from the previous city. The population is only a few hundred and supplies are very scarce. This shows that the townspeople living here are not rich.
Sure enough, after walking into the town, Ye Chunyang felt a sense of desertion, with very few pedestrians on the streets.
After taking Ye Xiaobao and choosing a teahouse to sit down, Ye Chunyang ate some snacks and took a short rest.
"Are you two brothers also monks?"
Just when Ye Chunyang sat down, a voice sounded next to him.
He looked up and saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old looking at him with a smile.
The young man had dark skin, carried a square basket made of bamboo and wood on his back, and had an umbrella pinned to his side. He looked dusty.
Ye Chunyang poured a cup of tea on his own and did not answer the boy's words.
"The two of them are dressed in Taoist attire. They should be immortal cultivators, but they look very unfamiliar. I guess they are from outside, right? Are they also going to Hanfeng Cave to learn from their masters?"
The young man was not polite at all. He sat down directly in front of Ye Chunyang and said with a smile.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ye Chunyang's face.
But when he heard the young man mentioning Hanfengdongtian, his expression changed slightly.
Seeing his excited expression, the young man's smile became brighter and he said: "It seems that Brother Dao has also heard about the recent recruitment of disciples in Hanfeng Cave. I have been fond of cultivating immortals since I was a child, and I am very interested in all kinds of interesting things in the world of immortality. I am interested in it. I heard that Hanfeng Cave has a spiritual connection with outstanding people and places, so I yearn for it."
"Yeah?"
"I'm afraid that fellow Taoists may not have the chance to join this sect if they go here."
Ye Chunyang seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Hanfengdongtian is about to move out, and this person went to become a disciple but failed to draw water from a bamboo basket.
The young man was obviously stunned when he heard this, but he quickly didn't care.
"Brother Taoist, this is wrong."
The young man said with a mysterious look on his face. He suddenly lowered his voice and approached Ye Chunyang. I have met a noble person. If you go with me, I can help you connect the way, and maybe you will be exempted from the exam. "
"Oh, it turns out that your Excellency has a great background?"
Ye Chunyang joked.
"That is!"
The young man raised his head with a look of pride on his face.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm from Yun Shaoling, a person from Yanguo Xuancheng. I haven't asked my Taoist brother what's your surname?"
The young man stretched out his hand with a warm look.
What surprised him was that Ye Chunyang remained motionless, but Ye Xiaobao next to him stretched out his hand to shake his hand, "I'm Ye Chunyang, this is my senior brother Ye Xiaobao."
"It turns out to be...the two Ye Dao brothers."
Ye Xiaobao seemed to give him a gentle squeeze, but the young man suddenly took in a breath of air, bared his teeth and became speechless.
When he looked at the two of them in surprise, Ye Xiaobao had already retracted his hand.
However, the young man was also a shrewd person, and he could see at a glance that this "elder brother" with "infinite power" seemed to be taking orders from Ye Chunyang, and he had a high opinion of the latter for a while.
"Brother Ye, I wonder what you two think of the proposal made by me below?"
The young man suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked.
"What proposal?" Ye Chunyang asked curiously.
"That's what I just said, you and I will go to the Cold Wind Cave together together."
"I've already cleared up the relationship with you. If fellow Taoist is interested, you and I can take care of each other on the road, and with me as a noble person to help, it's better than two people acting alone."
The young man is old and angry.
"Can."
"It just so happens that I have something to do to go to Hanfeng Cave, so it doesn't hurt to go with fellow Taoist Yun."
Ye Chunyang shrugged, noncommittal.
He could tell that this young man had spiritual roots, but his cultivation level was not high, only around the third level of Qi Refining.
Anyway, he was going to the Cold Wind Cave to look for the Soul Lake. The two of them were just on the same journey.
The young man was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his glass and said, "Brother Ye is really happy. You and I are destined to meet each other. Today I will have tea instead of wine to show my respect."
Ye Chunyang secretly felt funny, raised his glass and touched it with him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "Looking at the scholarly appearance of fellow Taoist, does he come from a scholarly family?"
The young man was slightly startled and was silent for a long moment before nodding: "Brother Ye has a keen eye, I am the third generation champion of the Yun family, and Shaoling has been influenced by my ears and eyes since I was a child. My father originally intended for me to participate in the selection and serve the court, but everyone has his own ambitions. , Instead of playing chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, it would be better to be a free and easy immortal."
Speaking of this, Yun Shaoling looked very interested: "I have read various immortal cultivation books since I was a child, and learned about many sects' wonderful places. It is said that the mountain range where Hanfeng Cave is located was a holy land for cultivation tens of thousands of years ago. Later, it was not I don’t know why it declined, leaving only this sect occupying the top of the mountain. In addition to learning from the masters, more importantly, I want to see if there are any ancient secrets here. "
Ye Chunyang smiled.
What Yun Shaoling was talking about was probably the Soul Lake tens of thousands of years ago, but what King Nanxuan said was that this place indeed existed a long time ago. Even the people in Hanfeng Cave may not know what the current situation is like.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you can rest assured. Hanfeng Dongtian is the number one sect in the Yan Kingdom and has been passed down for thousands of years. The immortal cultivation techniques within it must be extremely profound. If you and I go up the mountain to learn the skills together, we will definitely find the way to immortality."
Yun Shaoling chuckled and said confidently.
"Maybe so."
Ye Chunyang's expression was profound.
Next, Yun Shaoling continued to talk, sometimes talking about the mortal court, sometimes talking about cultivating immortals and his extraordinary aspirations. To others, he sounded really knowledgeable and well-informed.
But Ye Chunyang just laughed it off as a joke after tea.
After staying for about two hours, Ye Chunyang set off again. Yun Shaoling, who claimed to be a "noble man", naturally did not leave alone and followed him closely.
Along the way, Yun Shaoling chattered non-stop. Ye Chunyang didn't understand and kept replying, but he didn't hurry and stopped to rest after walking for a while.
After going back and forth, on the third day, the three of them finally arrived under a towering mountain range.
After traveling for such a long time, Yun Shaoling was so tired that he was panting, and his face did not have much color.
But when he raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, he was startled.
Ye Chunyang and Ye Xiaobao next to them looked calm, without any blush or breath, as if they were taking a leisurely stroll.
"After walking for such a long time, these two guys don't show any signs of fatigue. Where do these weirdos come from?"
Yun Shaoling took a breath of air.
Ye Chunyang was too lazy to pay attention to him. After staying in place for a while, he opened the map and took a look. The mountains in front were surrounded by five elements, with a dragon's head hanging low in the middle. It was the soul lake he was looking for.
"Hey, Brother Ye has even prepared such a detailed map. It seems that he is as determined as I am to go to the Cold Wind Cave to study under his master!" Yun Shaoling's eyes lit up.
The map in Ye Chunyang's hand was well-annotated, and it was several times more valuable than anything he had seen before. He couldn't help but admire Ye Chunyang's determination.
Ye Chunyang smiled lightly and said nothing.
After determining the direction, he immediately stepped forward.
Yun Shaoling quickly followed.
However, after Ye Chunyang took a few steps forward, he paused and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that Hanfeng Dongtian is very confident and actually took my words as a joke."
While walking into the mountains, Ye Chunyang also used his spiritual sense to explore, and surprisingly found that there were groups of monks inside, and there was a large mountain gate formation. Obviously, the people in Hanfeng Cave Heaven did not evacuate this place as instructed.
Ye Chunyang smiled and walked forward without saying a word.
At the same time, in a hall somewhere in the mountains, several elders from Hanfeng Cave Heaven gathered together again.
At the front, Zhao Motong stood quietly with his hands behind his hands, his expression deep, and his body naturally showed the majesty of a superior.
"Master of the Cave, today is already the third day. The sun has already set. The monk named Ye has not appeared. It seems that he is mostly bluffing and does not dare to show up."
An old man in a green robe had a sneer on his face, glanced at Zhao Motong in front of him, and said lightly.
"Elder Lin is right. This man is clamoring in his mouth, but in fact he is just a paper tiger. He thinks that we will really believe what he says and evacuate the sect directly." A strong young man next to him also said.
Despite his young appearance, he is actually over two hundred years old and is the youngest among the elders in Hanfeng Cave.
Zhao Motong stood quietly for a long time, his face showing no signs of movement.
"Cave Master."
At this moment, a woman stood up next to her. She had a charming appearance, long and narrow eyes, and dark waves. She saluted Zhao Motong and said: "Although this person has not moved yet, Master Zhenyi has not moved either. Returning shows that he may indeed have fallen. This person can kill Master Shinichi, so we must be careful to guard against him no matter what."
"Junior Sister Qing may be overly cautious. If he really dared to show up, he would have already appeared. Why is there no sign of him until now?" said the green-robed old man "Elder Lin" with disdain.
The woman frowned slightly and wanted to retort.
At this time, Zhao Motong, who was at the front, suddenly waved his hand and said: "Junior Sister Qing is right, no matter whether Master Shinichi is dead or alive, we cannot allow anyone who threatens the sect to exist."
He slowly turned around and faced everyone, with a cold look in his eyes: "Although it is already the third day, the identity of this person is not clear yet. You go and check it out. Once you find his whereabouts, shoot him without mercy."
Several elders looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
At this time, Ye Chunyang, who had climbed into the mountains, suddenly came to the mountain gate of Hanfeng Cave. Looking from below, he looked like a real dragon bowing his head, majestic.
At the dragon's head, a stone staircase twists and turns, extending all the way down. Many monks at the Qi refining and Taoist levels come and go here.
"Here we are, here is the mountain gate of Hanfeng Cave. As long as we go up the stone stairs, we can become apprentices and become immortals!"
Yun Shaoling looked excited.
Ye Chunyang didn't say a word and walked forward silently.
"Do you want to take the apprenticeship examination?"
Just as the three of them were walking towards the stone staircase, a person appeared in front of them, staring at them with malicious intent: "We in Hanfeng Cave have always had rules. Anyone who enters the cave to become a disciple must bow three times and kowtow nine times all the way to the entrance of the cave. "
