Position 3
Guan Yu only felt a flash of white light, and when his eyesight recovered, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up.
They suddenly appeared on top of a mountain peak, with all the scenery around them in full view.
At this time, a system panel appeared in front of everyone: "Branch Main Line Task (1): Join the Huashan School within thirty days."
"There is no reward or punishment, yet it's a main quest. It's strange, too strange." Yu Huang furrowed his brow and said.
"Alright, the main task has been given out. I think it's not easy to join the Huashan Sect within 30 days. If we fail, we might be sent away from this instance, so everyone can't take it lightly. First, let's analyze the difficulties of this task. The time limit of 30 days is too vague, but at least we can see that this task won't be completed in a short period of time and will likely encounter many problems. Secondly, we don't even know what kind of organization Huashan Sect is right now, and our intelligence is too limited. So I think we should first find a place to settle down, then gather some information about Huashan Sect, and finally take action."
"Hmm, Feng Xiong's words make sense." The White Emperor nodded in agreement.
Feng Wu looked at Bai Di and said lightly: "Just call me Feng Hui Zhang, leave the breast enhancement to those women who need it."
Several members of the guild couldn't help but snicker, but everyone thought Guan Yu's words made sense, so they confirmed their route down the mountain and started descending.
On the mountain peak, they had already seen a small town not far away at the foot of the mountain. The town was ancient and fragrant, and people could be seen walking on the road, so it shouldn't be too noticeable for outsiders like them to settle down there.
"You said we will enter the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer?" Yu Huang said as he walked.
"It's impossible," Wen Yu shook her head and said. "The deputy token has written on it that this is a fairyland deputy, I think it should be a cultivation-type deputy."
"It's too early to make a conclusion, and Huashan Sect doesn't seem like a Xianxia sect." said the White Emperor with a smile.
Guan Yu walked at the back of the crowd. At this moment, he summoned the Azure Eagle and released it into the air to observe the surroundings from above.
The road down the mountain is not rugged, but the surrounding trees are exceptionally dense. The eagles fly in the sky and it's hard to spot their tracks if you don't look carefully.
"What's wrong?" Feng Wuluo asked from behind, then turned to Guan Yu and asked.
Guan Yu closed one eye and opened the other, saying calmly: "Nothing, just observing the animals around."
"Hmm, if this is a Xianxia world, there should be unexpected creatures." Feng Wu nodded and said, this was actually a good method, as long as they found creatures that exceeded common sense and were unexpected, it would basically confirm that this wasn't a Wuxia world.
The name Huashan Sect is familiar to those who have read The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, but the secondary title makes it impossible for them to immediately determine if this is the world.
Suddenly, the leading Emperor stopped in front of him, waving his hand, and everyone knew there was a situation.
At this time, people with good hearing heard footsteps coming, and the sound was not like human footsteps.
As expected, a striped tiger appeared. When the tiger saw Guan Yu and his party, it suddenly showed its fierce eyes and slowly surrounded them.
"Good fellow, watch out!"
The emperor suddenly let out a loud roar and pounced on the fierce tiger.
The tiger suddenly let out a loud roar, its front paws leaving the ground as it pounced on the emperor. The two collided, and the tiger was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into a tree before falling to the ground, where it lay on the verge of death.
"This tiger is no ordinary one, it's very powerful!" Yu Di said with a frown, shaking his head.
The current emperor's power and defense are extremely abnormal. Even if a passenger car crashes into him, only the passenger car will be damaged.
But this tiger actually made his arms slightly numb, which shows how extraordinary this tiger is!
He walked up, picked up the tiger with one hand and punched it on the head, killing it instantly. He immediately laughed: "However, this tiger skin is not bad, when I go back, let the tailor make a suit!"
It was just a small episode on the way, and after about three hours of walking, they arrived at the town.
The town was surrounded by city walls, and Guan Yu and the others did not enter directly. They were currently observing from the forest outside the town. Indeed, the residents here were all wearing ancient costumes, and they wore modern attire, wanting to go in would likely be surrounded by onlookers.
"What should we do?" The Emperor looked at Feng Wu.
Feng Wudao said: "What else can we do? Let the assassins go and steal some clothes back."
Lin Luo was an assassin. The Emperor waved his hand at him and he immediately disappeared, only to reappear about twenty minutes later.
As Lin Luo took out one piece of clothing after another, Wen Huan looked and frowned, saying: "No women's clothes?"
"Sorry, I didn't notice when I took it." Lin Luo said lightly, but his facial expression remained unchanged, probably just a poker face.
Feng Wujian furrowed his brow, and could only comfort him by saying: "Bear with it for now, we'll get you into women's clothes once we're in town."
After listening to Feng Wu's words, Wen Huan could only helplessly choose a relatively clean set of clothes.
When changing clothes, the female players gathered together. Huang Shaqian was an arcane mage, she directly created a special prototype wall and changed her clothes inside it.
Although Guan Yu didn't really want to wear these clothes, in order to cover up, he still endured and put them on.
Everyone changed their clothes and entered the small town in batches from all sides, attracting attention.
The town was quite prosperous, and the language spoken was Chinese, so at least there was no need to worry about communication problems. After determining the currency, Lin Luo struck again, stealing several gold bars from a relatively luxurious residence.
After they had money, they stayed in an inn.
Everyone gathered in the guest room, Feng Wu began to assign tasks. First, they had to figure out where this place was and the location of the Huashan Sect. If possible, getting a map would be even better.
Everyone dispersed immediately, as long as they returned to the inn before dark, it was fine.
Guan Yu walked out of the inn and strolled slowly on the street. This small town was just like those in ancient costume TV dramas, with an antique flavor that instantly gave her a feeling of traveling back to ancient times.
Suddenly he saw a sign above a shop with several ancient characters written on it, although they were traditional Chinese characters, at least they could still be recognized: Sansheng Bookstore.
He immediately walked in, the shopkeeper was an old man, who was now concentrating on reading a book. Guan Yu did not disturb him, but instead picked up a book at random and began to flip through it.
On the other hand, Yu Di was walking down the street with a swagger, and those pedestrians who saw his powerful physique didn't dare to provoke him, and they all gave way.
Suddenly he saw a woman of twenty-seven or eight sitting in front of a shop, and the shop was full of all kinds of fabrics, with some ready-made clothes hanging beside the shop.
He suddenly became interested and walked up front.
"This customer, our small store's various fabrics all come from Xia City, they are all high-quality materials, using them as betrothal gifts will bring great honor. Take a good look!" The woman immediately said with a smile, while taking out a roll of fabric.
The emperor looked and said: "Do you make ready-to-wear clothes here?"
"Of course I can make it! If it's a ready-made garment, I can finish it in three days. Everyone in the town knows that my sewing skills are top-notch!" The woman immediately smiled and said.
The emperor suddenly took out a spotted big tiger from his backpack and said, "Can the fur of this beast be made into clothes?"
"Ah!!" Liu Erniang suddenly let out a loud cry, attracting the attention of passersby.
Passersby saw the spotted big tiger and everyone let out a terrified voice, but soon they found that this tiger was already dead.
"Brave warrior, can't you kill this monster?" an old man asked excitedly as he stepped forward.
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, I met this guy on the way here. It looked so fierce that if it wasn't satisfied for a moment, it would have been killed by running into it."
Everyone listened and suddenly let out a sigh of amazement, looking at Yu Di's eyes which had already turned into admiration.
"Hero, please accept an old man's bow!" The old man immediately became excited and wanted to kneel down.
The emperor hastily supported the old man and sighed: "Old man, what do you mean by this?"
"Brave warrior, this demon was the one that harmed my eldest son five years ago. My second son gathered a group of people to take revenge for his brother, but unfortunately, he also didn't return. This demon has been causing harm to countless civilians over the past few years. You are doing a great deed by ridding the people of this evil, you deserve an old man's respect!" The elderly man said emotionally.
After hearing the old man's words, the onlookers around also became excited and thanked Yu Di, the tiger-fighting hero. The commotion eventually attracted the attention of the government officials, who came to the scene. As a result, Yu Di met with the county magistrate amidst the crowd and inexplicably received a reward.
When everyone gathered at the inn in the evening and heard the emperor's words, they all showed strange expressions. This matter was also too mysterious.
But thinking about it being ancient times, this kind of thing isn't unacceptable either.
"Alright, now let's share the intelligence we've gathered!" Feng Wu was the first to regain his composure and spoke up.
The White Emperor smiled and said, "I waited in the teahouse for a day and heard a lot of news from that storyteller. We are now in a small town on the border of Yun Country. If we head north, we can reach Ming Country. It's almost certain that we're not in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer."
Apart from Guan Yu, the others chimed in one after another to supplement, and it was immediately confirmed that this world is a completely independent world. The so-called Huashan School is not a sect in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", but a legendary Sword Immortal Sect. Because it is located on a mountain peak called Huashan, it is therefore known as the Huashan School by the people of the world.
But the location of Mount Hua, surprisingly no one knew, no matter how they inquired, everyone just shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"In other words, the biggest problem with this task is that it's impossible to determine the location of Mount Hua?" The Emperor furrowed his brow upon hearing this.
Everyone is worried and frowning, even Mount Hua doesn't know where it is, how can they join?
"Mount Hua, a legendary mountain peak, is said to be where the Clouded Beauty was trapped. It was originally called Mount Clouded Beauty, but over time it became known as Mount Hua. Thousands of years ago, Yang Jian, the son of the Clouded Beauty, learned that his mother was trapped on Mount Hua and used an axe to split open the mountain peak, rescuing her. The peak he split open flew into the clouds and never returned to earth." Gu Yu said slowly at this point.
Feng Wu frowned and said: "Are you saying Huashan is in heaven?"
"This is a passage I saw in the book 'The Mountain and River Scripture' at the bookstore. It says that Mount Hua was originally supposed to be in the north, but because Yang Jian split the mountain to save his mother, Mount Hua flew into the air and wouldn't land, drifting with the wind, making its location impossible to determine." Guan Yu said calmly.
Everyone's heart sank when they heard this, how can we find it now? The mountain will run by itself.
However, according to records, every June on top of a mountain called 'Longshou Mountain' you can see Mount Hua!
Guan Yu looked at everyone before finally getting to the point.
