The noisy and lively Huaming Town is full of ancient style, with green gravel roads and rows of simple but neat houses forming the overall outline of the town.
The town is located on the east side of Tianxuan Domain, only a few miles away from Qiyun Mountain where Tianxuan Palace is located. There are often monks walking around the town, so it is generally quite prosperous.
On the street, Chen Feng walked slowly and slowly, followed by an old-looking Kuo Chong, the ancient dragon king with black scales all over his body, and Dongzi in a cloak.
The four of them walked leisurely, as if they were tourists coming here for the first time, admiring the prosperity and bustle of the town. They even had faint smiles on their faces, making it impossible to guess the purpose of their visit.
The Ancient Dragon King walked beside Chen Feng and took a slow step towards Chen Feng. His black scales were particularly dazzling in the sun, attracting many people to watch, but he didn't care. He held his head high and his chest high.
As if everything in the world is just a temporary floating cloud.
His arrogance may come from his profound strength, or perhaps from his noble status thousands of years ago, but in general, he does have such capital and conditions.
Pacing, looking around, Huang Gu Longjun's face was complicated. Sometimes he sighed, sometimes he sighed, and sometimes he even showed a trace of disgust. This made Kuo Chong who was walking beside him very puzzled and couldn't help but whisper at him.
Asked in the ear.
"Senior Long Jun, what's wrong with you?"
Frowning, Huang Gu Longjun sighed in his heart. He looked around and sighed softly: "In the mortal world, living beings work in peace and tranquility. Although there is more dullness, there is less fighting. Compared with the heavenly palace,
The intrigues and deceptions are endless, but the air is too turbid, which makes me a little intolerable!"
The words of Huang Gu Longjun attracted Chen Feng's attention, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Although there are more people in the mortal world than An Tai, are there people who cultivate immortals who are not just intrigues, but mostly treacherous and cunning people? But after thinking about it, Chen Feng suddenly realized
, this was the first time that Huang Gu Longjun mentioned the mysterious 'Heavenly Palace!' and he asked.
"Mr. Long, what does the so-called Heavenly Palace look like?"
"Heavenly Palace?" After hearing Chen Feng's words, a trace of longing and nostalgia suddenly flashed across the complex face of Huanggu Longjun, and then he said: "In fact, I can't describe the Heavenly Palace accurately. Its vastness is far beyond that of a small inner realm. At the same time,
There are countless gods and Buddhas in the sky, all of whom are saints. I believe that with your qualifications, you will break through the divine punishment sooner or later and step into the heavenly palace. You will understand when the time comes!"
Lord Huang Gulong seemed unwilling to say more. Chen Feng curled his lips and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at an inn called 'Yingxianlai' not far away, and then walked towards the inn.
.
Entering the inn, a fat-headed, big-eared shopkeeper with a kind face came up to him quickly, glanced at Chen Feng and others, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "Hey, immortal masters, are you staying at the inn?"
Ah, or dining?”
"Let's stay in the hotel!" Chen Feng looked around the inn and found that the first floor of the inn should be a dining place. There were more than ten square wooden tables in the hall. At this moment, there were several people gathered together in twos and threes talking.
What are you wearing?
"Okay, then the immortal would like to invite you inside. There are still a few rooms in the shop to ensure that the immortal is satisfied!" The fat shopkeeper has been running Yingxianlai for many years, so he has a good eye. Now seeing the magnanimity of Chen Feng and others,
Knowing that he was definitely not an ordinary regular, he quickly bowed and smiled.
"Yes!" Chen Feng nodded and motioned to the shopkeeper to lead the way. The shopkeeper immediately understood and took Chen Feng towards the backyard of the hall.
But just when Chen Feng and others were about to make a move, a rough voice suddenly came: "Shopkeeper, how many rooms do you have in this store? We've booked them!"
The voice was very loud and full of energy. Chen Feng and others looked back and saw that the person who came was tall and thick, with black hair. He looked very tough. Behind him, there were dozens of people wearing long robes.
Male and female monks with different appearances.
After a faint glance, Chen Feng ignored him and turned his head back.
"Hey, Master Xian, I'm really sorry. There are less than three guest rooms in the shop. There are so many of you, maybe..." Seeing the large number of people on the other side, the shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed and quickly said apologetically.
"Three rooms? How can three rooms be enough? In this case, we will book your restaurant and tell everyone else to get out!" The man's voice was so loud that the people dining in the hall could hear it clearly.
Hearing this, the people dining in the hall frowned and glanced sideways. At the same time, several young men dressed as monks sitting at the far end of the hall stood up suddenly: "How presumptuous, you black-haired orangutan?"
, who are you telling to get out?”
The angry scolding suddenly came, and the man was obviously stunned. Then he looked at a few people, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Grandpa asked you to get out, what? Don't you understand?"
As soon as the rude man said these words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. Chen Feng and others also turned around and looked back curiously. They didn't know where the rude man came from, and his words were so disgusting.
"Hei Niu, how can you be so rude!" But while the people in the hall were waiting for the next development of the situation, suddenly a cold female voice came, and then the crowd behind the rude man got out of the way, and a beautiful and delicate looking woman
The woman walked in slowly.
The appearance of the woman caused many people in the hall to exclaim in surprise, especially the monks who had stood up in the hall just now. Their faces suddenly turned pale, and they quickly bowed to the woman and said, "I am a monk from Qingshui Bay. I don't know about the Ice Palace."
Emperor Nalan has arrived and I have offended many people. I hope the Emperor will forgive me!"
The visitor was none other than Nalan Yan, who had not been seen for a thousand years. What Chen Feng couldn't imagine was why she would appear here, in a small town only a few miles away from Tianxuan Palace.
"It's okay. Those who don't know are not guilty. However, this emperor came to Tianxuan Palace this time and brought many disciples with him. I hope you can include some of them!" Nalan Yan had a spring breeze-like smile on his face, and there was a sudden sound in the hall.
There was a sound of promise, and everyone immediately left the table and walked towards the backyard, obviously preparing to clean up and leave.
Chen Feng tilted his head, his eyes flashed across Nalan Yan's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but Nalan Yan did not look in Chen Feng's direction.
"Immortal masters, I'm really sorry. Look... you'd better find another store!" As the shopkeeper of Yingxianlai, he knows what the Natural Way Ice Palace represents, and he also knows what kind of person Nalanyan is.
So he quickly spoke humbly to Chen Feng and others.
"It doesn't matter, they won't drive us away!" Chen Feng smiled faintly and shook his head slowly. The shopkeeper was stunned, but Hei Niu not far away noticed the uncooperation of Chen Feng and others, and saw his eyes wide open.
Staring, he shouted at Chen Feng and others: "Hey, the four boys over there, you are deaf, pack your things for me quickly and get out!"
"Hei Niu, don't be reckless!" As if she had been accustomed to Hei Niu's character, Nalanyan frowned and looked at Chen Feng and others, but what she saw was Chen Feng's back, but Kuo Chong's
The look on his face made her freeze on the spot.
"Kuo... Fellow Taoist Kuo?" Nalanyan said in astonishment, while a series of huge question marks flashed through his mind. Didn't Kuo Chong follow Chen Feng into the tomb of Guanyin? How could he appear here?
According to the rumors, isn't it said that Chen Feng had already died in Guanyin's tomb? But why did Kuo Chong come back intact?
Could it be said that Chen Feng is not dead? But if Chen Feng is really not dead, then why has Chen Zongxian Mansion been in danger several times over the past thousand years, but he has not appeared?
All the question marks filled Nalanyan's brain for a while, but he could not find a good answer.
And just when Nalan Yan was frozen on the spot, the figure with his back to her slowly turned around with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Nalan, I've been away for a thousand years, but you're all right again!"
"
There was no anger in the voice, no joy of farewell, just a greeting as plain as water, a vaguely audible voice. However, such an ordinary voice set off boundless waves in Nalanyan's heart.
Because the man in front of me is the strange man who has created countless myths and has only been practicing immortality for a hundred years, but has directly entered the late stage of the Great Emperor, 'Chen Feng!'
A scene from a thousand years ago flowed into Nalanyan's mind like running water. The figure of the young and ruthless boy was reunited with the middle-aged man in front of her. An unreasonable panic quietly rose in her heart.
"Chen...Chen Feng?" Nalanyan asked in a trembling voice as if he didn't believe it, and seemed to have a little final doubt.
"Fellow Taoist Nalan really has a good memory. Even after thousands of years, he still hasn't forgotten his old friend's name. Yes, it's Chen!"
Many of the Ice Palace monks present did not know who Chen Feng was, but some of the senior ones turned extremely pale after Chen Feng finished speaking.
"You...didn't you die in the tomb of Guanyin?" Nalanyan's body trembled with fear, because she did not go to Chen Zongxian Mansion as she had promised, but chose Tianxuan Palace.
In her opinion, even though Chen Zongxian Palace has the support of many forces, it has insufficient foundation and will inevitably die in the end. However, the formation alliance and Tianxuan Palace are different. There is no doubt that the formation alliance is powerful, but she knows the wolf ambition of the formation alliance.
, to seek refuge with him is tantamount to seeking death.
So in the end Nalanyan chose to join Tianxuan Palace. Of course, these things happened after everyone rumored that Chen Feng died.
But everything in front of her made her completely despair. She never expected that not only was Chen Feng not dead, but he would also appear alive in front of her.
"Shopkeeper, could you please open some rooms for me? We still have some things to do!" Chen Feng did not answer Nalan Yan's question, but looked at the fat shopkeeper with a smile, then turned his head and said lightly:
"Fellow Taoist Nalan, come to my room. I have something to ask you!"
After that, Chen Feng walked towards the backyard, leaving Nalan Yan with a shocked look on her face, and her disciples...
