Chapter 11 Taiyi Dao Palace
The two had a full meal of bear meat, and then moved forward again. After such a long time, more than ten days passed.

On this day, the two were shuttling through the dense forest. When they climbed over a mountain again, Dongfang Mo suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled Xing Wu behind him to stop.

Seeing this, Xing Wu paused and looked at Dongfang Mo in puzzlement.

Because Dongfang Mo swallowed the blood coagulation beads, his facial features are much more sensitive than before. At this time, he seems to see two strangely shaped mountains in the distance. The two mountains are adjacent to each other, presenting a curved shape. It looks like two horns.

"I don't know, Brother Xing, but he saw the two mountains ahead."

Dongfang Mo stood on the top of a mountain, pointing towards the distance.

Seeing this, Xing Wu looked towards Dongfang Mo and nodded:

"Sajia naturally saw it, and saw more than two."

Dongfang Mo was also used to Xing Wu's behavior, but now he said:

"If my prediction is correct, it is more than ten miles away from here. The two mountains that look like horns should be the horn mountains you mentioned."

"Among these words?"

Hearing this, Xing Wu's spirit was shaken immediately, and he even stood on the high ground and looked carefully into the distance.

But his eyesight can't be compared with Dongfang Mo's. Ten miles away, it's like a white mist.However, Xing Wu firmly believed in Dongfang Mo's words. Along the way, he still had some faith in Dongfang Mo's supernatural powers that were different from ordinary people.

So the two spent most of the day, during which they turned over several mountains, and finally they were able to see the two mountains in the distance that looked like horns, which were Niujiao Mountains.

There is a large city vaguely under the mountain.

Seeing this, the two showed ecstasy, without any intention of stopping to rest, they stepped up their pace and headed towards Niujiao Mountain.

But Wang Shan ran to death, the two spent most of the day's effort, and finally rushed to the outside of the city before dark.

They didn't notice it at first, but only when they arrived here did they realize how huge the city is.

Its degree of prosperity is the most that the two of them have seen. The tall city wall is made of hard granite and is ten feet high.There are two layers of city gates several feet thick inside and outside, and they are even more solidified with molten iron.Every three feet on the city wall, there is a guard in armor and holding a spear, which looks extraordinarily strict.

At the same time, the layout of the city is a bit strange, it does not form a circle, but a semicircle, with a tall city wall in front of it, and two Niujiao Mountains whose tops rise into the clouds behind them.

The semi-circular city wall extends for dozens of miles to both sides. There are nine city gates in total. On the top of each city gate, there is a tower with a height of one hundred feet. The nine towers are like nine pillars, standing upright on the city wall. above.The two Dongfang Mo were standing outside the city gate on the far left.

Looking at the orderly pedestrians of various colors who entered from left to right in front of them, the two of Dongfang Mo looked inconspicuous behind the crowd.

Perhaps it was getting late and there were not many people.Not long after, when the two approached the city gate, Dongfang Mo saw that there seemed to be some strange lines and characters on the city gate and the city wall. These lines and characters seemed to be disorganized. An Youxuan is a bit like the talismans he draws casually on weekdays, but it is much more complicated and mysterious than the talismans he draws.

After paying a certain amount of tax and walking into the city gate, Dongfang Mo felt an invisible wave sweeping over his body, and looked at Xing Wu and the people around him. Strange, obviously only he can discover this feeling.

"Could it be an illusion?"

Just when Dongfang Mo was wondering, on the leftmost tower, in the tallest tower, there was a dwarf old man who was only three feet tall.

The dwarf old man was hunched over, his gray hair was braided into twisted braids, randomly messed up behind his head.

The dwarf old man meditated cross-legged, with his eyes closed, and at the same time, his hands were on his knees, and his fingers were pinched in an odd position.In front of him, there was a crystal ball the size of a human head quietly suspended in the air.

At this time, a pair of triangular eyes suddenly opened, and the cloudy eyes looked at the crystal ball in front of them.

In the crystal ball, there was a twist, and a clear picture appeared after a while. In the picture, two figures, one tall and one short, were Dongfang Mo and Xing Wu.

The dwarf old man watched every move of the two with a blank face, but he didn't care about others around him. After dozens of breaths, he closed his eyes again, and continued the posture of closing his eyes and meditating just now. The picture also gradually blurred and then disappeared.

At this point, Dongfang Mo's uncomfortable feeling disappeared without a trace.

Watching the night gradually fall, but the crowds are still in an endless stream, the brightly lit streets.The first priority of Dongfang Mo and his wife was naturally to find an inn to eat and drink.

They chose a seemingly good inn at random, and the two walked in. After ordering a table of food and wine, they ate and drank a lot.

Originally, Dongfang Mo was worried about how to inquire about the Taiyi Dao Palace, but there were shouts and shouts from the side, and someone was talking about it here.

Looking carefully, an old man was sitting on a high stool, holding a folding fan, spitting at the surrounding guests.Unexpectedly, he could meet his peers here, and Dongfang Mo felt a little good for nothing.

"You guys don't know, this city is called Niujiao City, but it is named after the two mountain ranges that look like oxhorns behind it. This city is the first city under the Taiyi Taoist Palace."

"Presumably, many of you are new to this city and don't know much about it. Then the little old man will give you a simple explanation here. If the explanation is good, you will give me money. Alright, everyone will give the little old man a personal compliment."

When they heard the words Taiyi Taoist Palace, many people in the audience pricked up their ears, obviously most of them came here for these four words.

Only then did Dongfang Mo notice that more than half of the guests present were in his teens, and some were even seven or eight years old.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo was overjoyed, secretly thinking that following Xing Wu was at the right place this time.So, I patiently listened to the old storyteller and continued...

"Why do you say that Niujiao City is the first city under the common people in Taiyi Taoist Palace? This starts with the recruitment of new disciples from various sects of my human race's immortal sect."

"Our human race has a vast and boundless territory, and its immortal sects are too numerous to enumerate. There are also various ways to recruit disciples, the most common of which is to send many disciples from their immortal sects to the mortal cities under their sects. , look for good seedlings with spiritual roots and qualifications, and bring them back to the immortal sect to cultivate them. In this way, although the efficiency is not high, the effect is quite remarkable."

"Old man, but I don't know what you said about recruiting disciples has anything to do with Niujiao City being the first ordinary city of Taiyi Taoist Palace."

Among the crowd, there are many impatient people who couldn't help asking at this moment.

Seeing this, the old storyteller was not in a hurry, picked up the tea beside him, stroked the camellia on his face, and took a sip.

Dongfang Mo looked at the old storyteller with some contempt, not knowing that the old storyteller was playing tricks.But when I think about it carefully, it is a common trick of storytellers to whet my appetite, and I am relieved immediately.

Stretching out his hand, he took out a piece of broken silver from the cloth pocket on his waist, flicked it casually, and the broken silver hit a cloth blanket under the old man's high stool, and at the same time he cheered loudly: "The old man is so witty, well said!"

The old storyteller saw the silver under his feet, his eyes flashed with joy, he quickly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Dongfang Mo with a look of approval in his eyes, secretly thought that children can be taught, and clasped his fists together: "Thank you, little Taoist."

Then he continued: "Little old man said so, of course there is a little old man's reason. You don't know, the way my Taiyi Dao Palace recruits new disciples is really different from the other two schools. Why is it different? The Yidao Palace recruits disciples through this city, only those colleagues who have a heart for the Tao come here, and there is no need for the disciples of their sects to go out to look for them."

"I think this is why you are here." The old storyteller joked in the eyes of everyone around him.

When everyone heard it, it seemed that the main show was coming, and they said quickly:

"That's natural."

"I don't know how to screen them?"

"Cough cough." The old storyteller coughed, and took another sip of the tea beside him.

The contempt in Dongfang Mo's eyes was even worse, this old fox really didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, and storytellers really didn't have a good thing.

But with Dongfang Mo's precedent just now, everyone didn't know the old storyteller's abacus. While cursing inwardly, many people also took out broken silver and threw it at the blanket under the old storyteller's stool.

When the old storyteller saw the white money flying towards him, he immediately smiled and continued:

"Actually, the method of Taiyi Taoist Palace is very simple. It is located among the two Niujiao Mountains behind this city. Those two mountains are absolutely perfect. That is a huge formation."

"Hiss! Array!!" The people around all gasped when they heard this.Many people still find it hard to believe that there is such a huge formation in the world.

"That's in the Taiyi Dao Palace, and many old immortals with profound Taoism personally made arrangements. It is not difficult to enter the Taiyi Dao Palace, and it is not easy to say."

"All you need is...cough cough..." The old storyteller was about to pick up the teacup again.

Everyone was about to throw money on the old storyteller, but they couldn't show the slightest impatience. Instead, they threw a lot of money on the blanket under the old storyteller again.

"Everyone just needs to pass through the formation arranged by the old immortal." The old storyteller said without changing his expression.

"I don't know how to pass it?"

"This, it's simple!" After finishing speaking, the old storyteller pointed behind him, indicating the location of the two Niujiao Mountains, and then fell silent again.

Everyone was angry, but they had no choice but to be patient and throw out the money again.

"Sajia killed him, you old bastard!" Xing Wu, who was impatient, had just stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth, and was about to get up to teach that greedy old storyteller a lesson, but Dongfang Mo pressed him down , implying not to act rashly.

Although this old storyteller has a thick skin, but he is really good at it. After a while, he has an income of a hundred taels of silver.

But this place is unfamiliar, and this old storyteller is able to blatantly set up a chair in this small inn to give a lecture. It may be raised by this inn. Offending him, or offending a large number of people, is really not worthwhile.

Seeing Dongfang Mo obstructing him, Xing Wu could only sit down resentfully, not to mention the cannibalism, but Dongfang Mo's head is better than his, he still knows it clearly.

When he saw that there were no less than a hundred taels of silver in the blanket under his feet, the old storyteller's eyes gleamed, even though he was thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed at this moment. After coughing twice, he said again:
"Everyone just needs to walk into the valley between the two mountains on the first day of each month."

"If you pass through the formation, you will naturally enter the fairy gate of Taiyi Taoist Palace. If you can't walk, you will go around and come out. Remember, you only have one chance, if you don't give up and don't pass If you want to force your way through the formation, you will never be able to get out!"

"This……"

When everyone heard this, all of them were full of astonishment.

Dongfang Mo and Xing Wu looked at each other, also extremely surprised.

……

"Pfft!"

Just when the old storyteller finished speaking and everyone was amazed, in the corridor on the second floor of the inn, a girl about ten years old covered her mouth and laughed.

The girl was wrapped in plain clothes, with a small Qiong nose and willow-leaf eyebrows. She was still young, but she had already revealed an appearance of being out of the world.Especially a pair of smart eyes seem to be able to speak.

Beside the girl was an old woman with silver hair and a kind face.The old woman held a strangely shaped crested cane in her hand, and looked at the girl with a doting look in her eyes.

"Grandma Hua, do you think the formation of the Taiyi Dao Palace is really that powerful!" The girl's voice was as crisp as the song of a lark, unusually agile.
