Chapter 959
Zhang Xiaohua and Dream rode their horses because they wanted to see the scenery. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhang Xiaohua had to sleep on time, they would have traveled day and night. Even so, it only took them a few days to reach Jing Hai Lake.
Before they could see the Jinghai Lake, there were many disciples of the Wuming Hall patrolling the mountain path. Luckily, Meng was wearing a palace dress and a white veil. The disciples of the Wuming Hall knew that she was an inner disciple, so they were very respectful to her. Zhang Xiaohua also benefited a lot, so there were fewer checks.
When they arrived at the mountain next to Jinghai Lake, they were stopped by another group of disciples. They respectfully asked, "Excuse me, Senior Sister … and Senior Brother, where are the two of you going on official business?"
Dream looked at them and didn't answer. Zhang Xiaohua walked forward with her four odd beasts. She cupped her fists and said, "I'm Ren Xiaoyao, a disciple of Lingxiang Peak. I'm accompanying this Senior Sister from Mo Xue Gong to the Dalin Temple. Junior Brothers, please make way!"
"Dalin Temple?"
The disciples were very surprised and showed envy on their faces. The leader walked forward and said respectfully, "Senior Martial Brother Ren, this job is really good. Since the opening of Jinghai Lake, the sect master hasn't sent any disciples out. You're the first one."
Zhang Xiaohua and Dream looked at each other and smiled, "There will always be a first. There will be more in the future. I think in a few days, there will be Senior Sisters going to the Tenryū Sect and the Righteous Alliance!"
"Ah?
Is that so? "
The disciple didn't understand and said flatteringly, "Then … Senior Brother Ren, I'm just curious. Why are you … inner disciples going to these big sects?
Can you tell us? "
"Hahaha, not only that. I'm afraid there will be many inner disciples visiting the famous sects in Jianghu!"
The disciple was so curious that he was about to scratch his head.
"This … What on earth happened?"
Zhang Xiaohua pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother, I … I think you're pleasing to the eye, so I'm only telling you. Please don't tell anyone else, or else …"
"I won't say it, I won't say it. Senior Brother Ren, I have a nickname which is' Taciturn Gourd '. I'm the best at keeping secrets. Just tell me, I definitely won't leak it out!"
"Okay, then come closer!"
"What?
They're going to hold a martial arts convention? "The disciple almost jumped up and blurted out.
Zhang Xiaohua's expression changed. "Junior Martial Brother, why are you beaming with joy?
This isn't something an expert would do! "
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen something exciting. This is the legendary Martial Arts Conference. How can I not be excited?"
"Alright, I still have to hurry. You …"
The disciple shouted, "Junior Brothers, hurry up and make way. Senior Brother Ren from the Inner Sanctum has something important to do!"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and cupped her hands. Then, she left with Meng.
After entering the valley and seeing the calm Jinghai Lake, Meng complained, "How can you casually tell the outer sanctum disciples about this kind of thing?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "There are only three months until the martial arts convention. We still have to rely on the outer sanctum disciples to work. How can Lord Sect Leader not tell them in advance?
Moreover, there will be a lot of Rui Jin Palace disciples going out in the future. How long can this kind of thing be kept a secret?
I'm just a few days ahead of schedule. "
"You're always right!" Meng curled her lips.
At this time, there were more than a dozen medium-sized boats on the Jinghai Lake. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua and Meng coming over, a few disciples who were controlling the boats hurriedly came down. After asking about the situation and checking their waist tags, the disciple said respectfully, "Senior Brother and Senior Sister, please board the boat. We will send you over!"
"Over?" Meng was stunned. She looked at the wide Jinghai Lake and asked curiously, "How do we get out?"
The disciple who was controlling the boat pointed to the other side of the Jinghai Lake and said with a smile, "Okay, Senior Sister knows that there is a mountain ridge on the other side of the Jinghai Lake. Under the mountain ridge, there is a hidden waterway that leads to the outer sanctum, Dianchi Lake. We discovered it after the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation was opened."
The Jinghai Lake was quite big. There were dozens of similar boats shuttling back and forth on the lake. After traveling for half a day, they arrived in front of a towering mountain ridge. Below the mountain ridge was a pitch-black cave. The water of the Jinghai Lake was flowing leisurely.
Zhang Xiaohua had already released her Divine Sense, so she could see the place clearly. Below the mountain ridge, in the cave, there was also a large lake, which was connected to Dianchi Lake on the other side of the mountain ridge. In the past, Yue Mingxin of the Fragrant Cult and Yang Haoya of the Misty School used this water to connect the two lakes with a restriction formation.
Meng sat on the boat. With the help of the torch of the disciple who was controlling the boat, she could see the cave clearly. The cave was very low, hanging over their heads. The undulating cave top had protruding sharp stones from time to time. The sharp stones were like reefs in the water, covered with a lot of moss and unusually wet!
Seeing that Meng was very interested, the disciple who was controlling the boat explained, "Senior Sister and Senior Brother, the water level of the two lakes is not high on normal days, so it can reveal the passage. A few days ago, it was a full moon, so the water level was extremely high, submerging the passage under the water. Although we had the hint of the Inner Sanctum Disciples, we still searched for a long time without any results. Later, when the water level dropped, we found the passage.
Presumably, in the past, the Fragrant Cult could only travel together on the night of the full moon for the same reason! "
"Junior Brother, you're right. We think so too!" Zhang Xiaohua responded with a smile.
The passage under the mountain ridge was also very long. After traveling for an hour, there was light outside, and they entered Dianchi Lake. Dianchi Lake was almost the same as Jinghai Lake, and the surrounding mountains were also similar. Meng had long been amazed by it.
Zhang Xiaohua released her Divine Sense and saw that the other side of Dianchi Lake was different from before. There were tents and simple caves, which were all set up. Many Outer Sanctum Disciples were holding weapons and walking in a hurry.
When the boat reached the shore, the Outer Sanctum Disciples on duty looked back. They did not feel strange and only focused on the outside of the valley.
When Zhang Xiaohua and Meng got off the boat, the disciple who was controlling the boat tidied up a little and did not return. He stopped the boat not far away.
"Senior Sister, may I ask … what business do you have?"
Zhang Xiaohua raised her head and saw a thin disciple walking quickly in front of her. His face was respectful and somewhat surprised.
Zhang Xiaohua took a step forward, took out her waist token, and said with a smile, "I'm Ren Xiaoyao, a disciple of Mo Xuan Gong. I'm accompanying this Senior Sister on business outside the valley …"
"Outside the valley?"
The disciple frowned and said with an embarrassed face, "Senior Brother Ren, please wait here. I'll go and ask the Inner Sanctum Disciples to come over."
"Inner Sanctum Disciples?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. She looked at the place where the disciple used his Lightness Skill and scanned with her Divine Sense. Yes, outside the valley, there were also some disciples on guard in different places. Looking at their clothes, they were the disciples of Rui Jin Palace!
Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood. She turned back and said with a smile, "Let's go. We don't need to act like a disciple of Mo Xuan Gong.
In the eyes of Outer Sanctum Disciples, whether it's Rui Jin Palace or Mo Xuan Gong, they are all Inner Sanctum Disciples! "
Meng curled her lips and said, "It's up to you."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and didn't say anything. She lifted her feet and walked out of the mountain.
Not long after, a disciple of Rui Jin Palace followed the disciple of Wuming Hall. When the disciple saw Zhang Xiaohua from afar, he took a deep breath and said with an embarrassed face, "I was wondering who it was. It turns out … it's Junior Brother Ren!"
Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head. Needless to say, this guy's weapon must have been broken when she went up the mountain. She cupped her hands and said, "Cough, cough. It turns out … it's the Senior Brother of Rui Jin Palace!
I'm sent by the Hierarch to deliver a letter to the Dalin Temple. Senior Brother, please check the waist token. "
The disciple looked at Meng and asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother Ren, this Senior Sister …"
"Hehe, this is Senior Sister Zi Xia from Mo Xuan Gong. Do you want to see the waist token?"
"Zi Xia?"
The disciple was stunned again. There was admiration and jealousy in his eyes. However, he still said, "This is my duty. Please don't blame me!"
Why would Meng talk to him? She raised her hand and threw the waist token to Zhang Xiaohua.
After the disciple checked the waist token, he respectfully returned it to Zhang Xiaohua and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Ren, you're the first group to leave the valley. Therefore, I have to be careful …"
Then, he looked at the two of them and said, "Junior Brother Ren, the Jianghu is not like the valley. You have to be careful. Many situations can't be solved by force. You have to be careful of unorthodox methods …"
When the disciple saw that Zhang Xiaohua and Meng were young, he wanted to protect them. As he led the two of them out of the valley, he told them about the things to pay attention to in the Jianghu. They walked very far. Before he finished, Zhang Xiaohua was touched. She bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance. I've benefited a lot. When I return from the Dalin Temple, I'll thank you in person!"
"You're too kind." The disciple shook his head, "Junior Brother Ren is the strongest person in the Incense Cult. In terms of martial arts, you're definitely a hundred times stronger than me. However, in the Jianghu, you don't just look at martial arts. I've also left the valley in my early years. That's why I have some experience. After saying so much, Junior Brother Ren still remembers it in your heart.
Of course, you can understand, but you have to rely on yourself for everything. "
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore."
The disciple pointed with his finger and said, "If you follow this road, you'll reach Mochou City. There's a fork in the road that leads to Xuyuan City in the north. If Junior Brother Ren wants to go to the Dalin Temple, it's better to go through Xuyuan City!"
Before Zhang Xiaohua could say anything, she felt Meng's bright eyes behind her. She could only smile and say, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance. Goodbye!"
The two of them set off. Meng laughed and said, "How is it?
Junior Brother Ren, are you going to Xuyuan City or Mochou City? "
Zhang Xiaohua said seriously, "Isn't that nonsense?
Our mission is the Dalin Temple, not Rejuvenation Valley. Naturally, we'll go through Xuyuan City. "
"Are you sure?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiaohua patted her chest.
"What a pity."
Meng pursed her lips and said, "I don't know if it's as you wish or not, but we have to go to Carefree City!"
