Chapter 79: The Secret of Qingshan
Master!
Lu Jiu grabbed Lu Yu's hand tightly, looked at it, and cried in his smile, saying: OK, it's so good, the young master's illness has finally recovered.
The two disciples who led the way greeted Lu Yu and left.
Lu Yu brought Uncle Jiu to the room and asked: Where has Uncle Jiu been there over the years? Why did he suddenly think of coming here?
Lu Jiu grabbed Lu Yu and refused to let go, and he seemed very excited.
Back then, the city lord sent me to investigate something secretly, and soon he sent the young master to Qingshan Sect. When I returned, I heard that the Wu thief had rebelled and robbed the position of the city lord. He was so scared that he dared not show up, so he could only ask about the whereabouts of the city lord and the young master in private.
Later, after I inquired from many sources, I learned that the city lord had gone to Xuefeng Mountain, so I went to search. Unfortunately, Xuefeng Mountain was steep and extremely cold. I was not in a state of mind and could not get close to the main peak. In the end, I had to withdraw temporarily and wait outside.
Lu Yu asked: Have you found out about your father?
Lu Jiu smiled bitterly and said: I heard that the city lord went to the top of Xuefeng Mountain to look for the Ice Jade Ginseng, and wanted to detoxify the young master. But no one can tell whether the Ice Jade Ginseng really exists.
Lu Yu sighed lightly, Ice Jade Ginseng is not an ordinary spiritual medicine, and it is difficult to find that thing.
Then come this time
Lu Jiu said: I had been waiting in Xuefeng Mountain for more than a year, but I couldn't wait, so I quietly returned to Wucheng and lurked, wanting to wait for the city lord to return. But I had never thought about it, but I accidentally learned that the young master was in Qingshan Sect. Originally, I had wanted to visit the young master, but I was afraid of revealing my whereabouts and attracting the attention of Wu thief. This time, I came because I accidentally learned a secret, which was closely related to the young master, so I had to come hurriedly.
Lu Yu said curiously: What is the secret related to me?
Lu Jiudao: The young master defeated Wu Yingjie, the son of the thief, to become disabled, and this matter has been reported back to Wucheng. The old thief was furious and threatened to be detrimental to the young master.
Lu Yu said: Are you here to report to me?
Lu Jiudao: This is just one reason, and another reason is the secret I mentioned.
Lu Yu was puzzled and asked: What's the secret?
Lu Jiu got up, carefully checked the surroundings of the house, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, he closed the doors and windows and returned to Lu Yu.
Have you ever thought about why the city lord sent you to Qingshan Sect?
Lu Yu said: My father sent me here back then, first, to let me practice here, second, to find me after returning, third, to think that Qingshan Sect is safer and not affected by the world.
Lu Jiu shook his head and said: The young master is young and has a very simple idea. With the young master's situation back then, it is not suitable for cultivation at all. If the city lord is for your safety, he can send you to another place to hide it. Why do you need to send you to Qingshan Sect specifically?
Lu Yu was stunned, thought carefully and asked: Why did Dad send me here back then?
Lu Jiu said: I didn’t understand this before. I mistakenly thought that the city lord sent you here to prevent the Wu thief from murdering you. But later I learned that the city lord sent you here actually had other intentions.
Lu Yu said: How do you say this?
Lu Jiudao: Qingshan Sect is one of the four major sects in the empire, but it ranks third and belongs to the Huang-level sect.
Lu Yu said: I know this.
Lu Jiu smiled and said: Young Master, don’t worry. Qingshan Sect is located in the west of Tianyue Kingdom, with seven cities nearby, headed by Fengyue City. The disciples recruited by Qingshan Sect mainly come from the seven cities in the west, but as the children of the city lord, it is actually very simple to enter the four major sects of the empire. But why did the children of the seven cities in the west all entered Qingshan Sect and did not choose the number one Tianhua Sect?
Lu Yu understood, but still didn't understand the reason.
What are they trying to do?
Lu Jiudao: This is the key. The War Soul Continent has countless empires, and the Yellow-level sects are giants in the secular world. Even the lord of a country can be erased at will. However, in front of the Xuan-level sect, they are just jumping clowns, let alone the holy places on the War Soul Continent.
In the huge war soul continent, there are countless sects like Qingshan Sect. As the city lord, who doesn’t want their children to enter a better sect and have a better future? But why do the city lords of the seven cities in the west send their children here? Because Qingshan Sect has a secret, it is in the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Lu Yu said in surprise: What's the secret?
Lu Jiu shook his head and said: I can't tell you in detail. I accidentally learned from Wu Thief that this is a secret that the city lord only knew, and it is about a legend. Wu Yingjie came here for the secret of the back mountain. The sons of other city lords were also asking about this secret at all times.
Lu Yu pondered: The secret that the city lord knew, wouldn’t Qingshan Sect know? Why didn’t they list the back mountain as a forbidden area and prohibit anyone from entering and leaving?
Lu Jiudao: If Qingshan Sect does this, wouldn’t it be like there is no silver here?
Lu Yu said: This is also reasonable. Mo Lingliang is the best cover. Does Uncle Jiu know what the secret refers to?
Lu Jiudao: It should be related to Xuanhun. Whoever can solve the mystery can enter the Xuan-level sect and may even go further.
Xuanhun refers to the mysterious martial soul. The martial souls in the world are divided into four levels: heaven and earth Xuanhuang.
Qingshan Sect is a yellow-level sect, which refers to the martial souls of all disciples of the sect. They are only yellow-level martial souls, and the highest is only ninth grade.
All the disciples recruited by the Xuan-level sect are Xuan-level martial souls, but there is no one in ten thousand, so the Xuan-level sect's status is far above that of the Huang-level sect.
There are only four yellow-level sects in the entire Tianyue Empire, and there is no Xuan-level sect at all.
The Xuan-level sect closest to the Tianyue Empire is called Tianxuan Sect. The number of empires under its jurisdiction is as high as 100. This shows how powerful the Xuan-level sect is.
Lu Yu thought of Qin Yun and Chu Sanqiu. They were all the sons of the city lord. Is the purpose of coming here to be the secret of the forbidden area in the back mountain?
But what is the secret?
Just know this, and fate cannot be forced. The Tianyue Empire may undergo major changes in the near future, so you should be more careful. In addition, Wu Zhe has sent experts to Qingshan Sect to wait for an opportunity to seek revenge.
Lu Yu sneered: Here, he dare not touch me even if he measures me.
Lu Jiudao: Of course, those masters will not come in blatantly, but as long as you leave and take a step out of the gate, you may be targeted, and hidden arrows are hard to defend against.
Lu Yu said: Uncle Jiu doesn’t have to worry about me, I will be careful. You just said that there are changes in the empire, what does it mean?
Lu Jiudao: Recently, the emperor of the Tianyue Empire is about to die, and several princes are already fighting openly and secretly, recruiting soldiers and winning over all the princes.
Lu Yu said: Why worry about secular affairs?
