Chapter 53 Set up a stall on the river bank for business
A small platform was built by breaking branches, and Zheng Qiu and the three spent the night on it. Sleeping on the tree was not comfortable, Zheng Qiu tossed and turned, and finally made it to dawn. But Master Mingzong forbade him and Mingkong Zilin to go down the tree, and insisted on waiting for the sun to fully rise before taking them to Jingpu Cliff.
Passing around a forest, the thick water vapor blows towards the face, and from the gap between the trunk and the branches and leaves, you can see the white waves in front of you.
Master Mingzong stopped Zheng Qiu and Mingkong Zilin, and stopped letting them go forward: "The front is full of people vying for water and dragon teeth. Don't join in the fun. If you want to watch, go to the top of the tree."
After speaking, he hugged Zheng Qiu and flew up to the nearest big tree. Mingkong Zilin was unexpectedly obedient, she didn't make a fuss to go to the front, but followed obediently to the tree.
At the top of the tree, Zheng Qiu could see the whole picture of Jingpu Cliff clearly.
A surging river is at least a hundred feet wide, and the river is surging, rolling out whirlpools.
On the left side of the field of vision, the 100-foot-wide river suddenly disappeared, replaced by a bottomless cliff, and the rushing river rushed out of the cliff, forming a snow-white curtain. The water flowed down the cliff and made a loud noise like thunder. The water mist aroused rose into the sky and diffused towards the clouds, startling the flying birds.
"Wow, what a big waterfall, how spectacular!" Zheng Qiu couldn't help shouting when he saw such a scenery for the first time. But his ears were so filled with the sound of rumbling water that he couldn't even hear his own cry.
At this time, the riverbanks on both sides of Jingpu Cliff were full of people, densely packed, and the colorful colors of various clothes covered the green of the vegetation. In this sea of people, ten circular areas were divided, and there was an open space of about ten feet between the crowd on the side and these areas.
Master Ming Zong pointed to these areas and told Zheng Qiu that these are the places occupied by the top ten sects. At this moment of tension, approaching these places is simply asking for death.
Boom... woo... The water of the waterfall suddenly exploded with thunder, and then there was a strange sound on the river. The sound was majestic and long, like the roar of a giant beast, echoing for a long time over the waterfall cliff.
The crowd on the river bank began to commotion, and there was a faint brilliance in it, indicating that someone was exercising.
Master Ming Zong stroked his short beard and sighed: "Sure enough, it's a magic soldier. The movement before the birth is really extraordinary. The dragon's cry is so loud and lasts so long, I don't know what it is."
However, the dragon's cry echoed for a while, and then gradually disappeared, leaving only the sound of rumbling water.
Mingkong Zilin sat on the branch, shaking her feet and complaining: "It still hasn't come out, I heard it's been screaming for more than two months, this magic soldier is too inkstained."
"This is a magic weapon, how can it be so easy to be born." Master Ming Zong replied with a smile.
With the disappearance of Long Ming, the crowd on the river bank returned to calm. Zheng Qiu sat on a tree and looked around, and suddenly saw a familiar thing.
Upstream from the river bank, there is a gray hemisphere, like an upside-down bowl. Hey, is this a building? Why is it so like a post house?
He stretched his neck to stare at the thing, and after a while, a person wearing a white robe walked out, with blue faintly on the robe, a bit like the imperial uniform of Qianyunzong.
"Master, look there. Is that someone from our Gan Yunzong?" Zheng Qiu immediately told Master Ming Zong about the situation.
Master Ming Zong stared at it for a while, and said strangely: "That's right, it's the imperial uniform of the Qianyun Sect, and this building was also built with stone obedience skills. What's going on? Could it be that the suzerain wants to fight for this dragon tooth? Do you not hesitate to break the rules that have been kept for thousands of years?"
Master Mingzong was worried, he stood up and said to Zheng Qiu and Mingkong Zilin, "You two stay here and don't move around, I'll go and have a look first."
After saying that, he jumped off the tree and rushed to Qian Yunzong's place, but before he had gone far, he stopped, hesitated for a moment and then turned back to the tree.
"It's not safe to keep the two of you here, it's better to go together."
Flying over the river bank now,
It was definitely not a wise move, so Master Ming Zong led the two of them around the woods behind them in a big circle, and came to the round house built by Qian Yunzong.
Sure enough, there is a large group of Qianyunzong people here, all formal disciples wearing blue-striped clothes. They carried wooden boxes in and out, very busy.
"Hello elder!"
"Meet the elder!"
Master Ming Zong ignored the disciples who were greeting him, pushed them away and rushed into the house. The house is not the suzerain, but a person he is quite familiar with.
"Ming Chengxi, what are you doing here?"
Elder Ming Chengxi is a fat middle-aged man, he wears a loose robe with a big belly, and he has a lazy feeling in every gesture.
Ming Chengxi was sitting at the table, writing something in the booklet with a pen, when he heard someone calling him, he raised his head to look, and put down the pen slowly.
"Ming Zong, I should ask you this question."
Ming Zong grabbed the booklet on the table to look through it, and asked eagerly: "Ming Chengxi, are you here to fight for Longya? Did the suzerain ask you to come?"
"The second half of the guess is correct. I came here for the purpose of the suzerain. But I didn't come to snatch the dragon teeth, but to snatch other things."
Ming Zong found that the list of formations was written in the booklet, and there was no content about snatching dragon teeth: "If you don't snatch dragon teeth, then what are you snatching?"
Ming Chengxi didn't answer Ming Zong's question. He looked behind Ming Zong with a friendly smile on his face: "Oh, isn't this Zi Lin's baby? Why did you come here? Hurry up, come in , it's dangerous outside."
Ming Chengxi dragged the chair, asked Mingkong Zilin to sit on it, and fanned her with a fan: "Come on, sit down and rest, whether it's hot or not, Uncle Chengxi will fan you."
"It's better to be Uncle Chengxi!"
Mingkong Zilin sat on the chair, making faces at Mingzong.
Master Ming Zong pulled Zheng Qiu over and patted him on the shoulder: "Hmph, I also have apprentices, unlike some people who are always flattering, I only treat my apprentices well."
After playing lip service for a while, Ming Zong asked again why Ming Chengxi came here.
Ming Chengxi asked back, "Do you know that there was no accidental disaster more than seventy years ago?"
"No one in the world knows, and no one knows, that's a big deal."
"Was the fighting fierce at that time?"
"Of course intense."
"That's right!" Ming Chengxi opened the wooden box in the corner, took out a bulging bag and threw it on the table, "We Gan Yunzong don't compete with others for dragon teeth, let's grab this! Money!"
Ming Chengxi took out another booklet and handed it to Elder Ming Zong, and told about the cause of this incident.
It turned out that the news of Duan Shui Long Ya's birth had long been followed by the suzerain. He believed that the various sects of Yunxiu would fight for Long Ya, so he started preparations half a year in advance.
He asked Ming Sijiu to find 500 formations from Wentian Pavilion, including various types of defense, offense, and rescue, and then sent Ming Chengxi to bring the exercises to Jingpu Cliff. Afterwards, Ming Chengxi was asked to bring more than forty official disciples who were proficient in formations, and more than 180 boxes of formation materials.
Ming Zong flipped through the brochure, and couldn't help sighing: "The suzerain's move is really ruthless, all of them are good formations with immediate results, and now the sects that want to compete for the dragon tooth have to buy it if they don't."
Ming Chengxi raised his head and laughed loudly: "Later, we will set up a booth, set up a signboard, pay the money on the spot, and set up an array on the spot. The one with the highest price wins. Today, I, Qian Yunzong, will be here at Jingpu Cliff. Last one."
