On Qingyang Mountain, isolated from the world, a guest came.
It was a young man who looked very smart and lively. He was wearing a light yellow suit and carrying a long sword on his back. He looked energetic. Although his face was obviously a bit nervous, he still maintained a quite calm attitude.
Stay calm and try to take your time.
He flew all the way with his sword and saw the vague clouds and mist in the distance. When he saw the peak shaped like a bull's head in front of the clouds and mist, he landed on the ground, step by step, in a way that was very inconsistent with a person cultivating immortals.
We reached the top of Niujiao Peak and came under the white stone archway that ordinary people cannot see.
This is the "Mountain Gate" of Qingyang Temple in the world. From here, disciples of our sect can go to the inside of the mountain gate through the "ladder to heaven", while foreign enemies can only break through the extremely dangerous mountain guard formation in the mist of Yunshan and break in bit by bit.
Under the Baishi Archway, a young man wearing a light cyan robe over a yellow pullover was sitting on the stone, leaning against a pillar and reading a book. At first glance, he seemed very leisurely. But when the guest arrived, he was
He stood up hurriedly, quickly put away his books, grabbed the flat flask hanging on his waist with one hand, and nervously seemed to not know where to put his other hand. Compared with him, it was the man with a deep heart.
The anxious guest seemed calmer.
"I'm Zhou Chen from the Yulong Sect. I wonder if your friend is from Qingyang Temple?" Although he could basically confirm this based on the time, place and the opponent's robe, Zhou Chen still politely stopped more than ten steps away.
, asked with clasped fists.
The young man was stunned for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not let go of his hand holding the flat wine flask. He just asked in a low voice: "I... I am indeed a disciple of Qingyang. I don't know... what's the matter with fellow Taoist coming to visit?"
...What do you want?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard his timid voice. When he looked at his face carefully, he was even more puzzled - why did this disciple of Qingyang Temple look like he didn't have the slightest bit of immortality?
, but she is soft and timid like a girl? Moreover, her face is too handsome and her voice is too soft. If her chest were not flat and her Adam's apple could be seen, he would definitely think she was a delicate and beautiful girl!
Could it be that the world's leader in righteousness cannot even find a decent disciple, so he wants to let a little guy like this, who undermines the majesty of the sect no matter how you look at it, come to visit?
Zhou Chen felt that he really could not understand the way of thinking of the master of Qingyang Temple.
But then he thought about it, maybe this is a reflection of the confidence of the famous sect. With the foundation of Qingyang Temple, let alone putting a living person here to guard the door, even if you throw a duck or plant a lily, is it possible?
Who would think that Qingyang Temple has no talents? Of course not
Yes! Perhaps... it is precisely because of this relaxed and easy-going but confident attitude that Qingyang Temple can develop to what it is today; or perhaps it is precisely because the master of Qingyang Temple is a real person who transcends the world.
Only then can we have such a calm attitude, right?
Well! The Yulong Sect should indeed study hard!
While he was calculating in his mind, he said in a modest but not condescending tone: "The supreme elder of our sect, Yu Xuanzi, has recently condensed into true essence, and a celebration ceremony will be held on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The master, please come to your sect to deliver a message."
, we sincerely invite Zhifei Zhenren, your sect, to attend the ceremony."
The person wearing yellow clothes under the robe was naturally Hesta. He heard that the other party was not here to cause trouble, but to invite the senior brother. Although he relaxed immediately, he couldn't help but become confused: "The senior brother is preparing for the future."
The Three Teachings Actor has been in seclusion during this period, and we rarely see him. I don’t think he is in the mood to watch the ceremony now..."
This time it was Zhou Chen's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect that things turned out to be so unlucky. He hesitated for a moment and had to say goodbye with a wry smile.
But how could Hesta let him just come here in joy and return disappointed? He immediately offered words to persuade him to stay: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry, fellow Taoist Zhou! Although the senior brother is in retreat, there are still many brothers of the same generation who are not in retreat.
.Besides, it would be too rude of me for you to come all the way and leave after just a few words! Please come to the mountain gate to sit for a while, or at least have a cup of tea."
Of course Zhou Chen would not refuse. In fact, he was also very curious about what the inside of Qingyang Temple was like. Although he couldn’t tell much about it from a glance, at least he could brag about it among his fellow apprentices after he returned!
Following the young man who called himself "Xiao He", he walked through the invisible cloud bridge. When the clouds and mist suddenly dispersed, Zhou Chen saw a fairy mountain that he could only see in his dreams!
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the dense spiritual energy turns into fairy clouds and floats. The trees in the mountain are all spiritual trees with great origins. You can see the spiritual fields in the distance, with various kinds of plants planted outside that are enough to make people feel happy.
The casual cultivators fought to the bitter end
Spiritual medicine. Under the shade of trees in the mountains and on the stone steps, you can see half-human and half-animal demon cultivators from time to time, but each of them has acquired the immortal spirit in this life, and their demeanor is extraordinary. If they didn't still retain the mark of the original body, they would simply be
One after another, they are masters who have practiced cultivation for many years!
Looking up along the white jade steps at the foot, the winding jade steps bypass a lush jade bamboo, and there is a large square. Among the trees on the edge of the square, there are many bamboo houses scattered among them.
There are precious lights rising from many bamboo buildings. Apparently even the houses themselves are magic weapons!
Across this square, the jade steps disappear into the shade of trees, but after rounding a corner of the mountain, you can see a soft white light overflowing from the shade of the trees. If you look carefully, you can also see a corner of the eaves of the palace, and then
A little further up, there is a hall floating in the air, full of majesty.
Zhou Chen's eyesight is very good. Even from a long distance, he can clearly see the three characters "Qingyang Temple" on the plaque hanging in the main hall. That must be the main hall of the mountain gate of Qingyang Temple!
Further up from the main hall of the mountain gate, there are large tracts of clouds and mist that seem very thin at first glance, but completely cover the eyes. Only at the end of the clouds and mist, there is a mountain top that is completely white and translucent, and seems to be made of the finest refining materials.
Under the winter sun, it shines with brilliance.
"It is indeed a famous sect!" Several chirping and flying spiritual birds woke Zhou Chen up from the shock. He couldn't help but praise sincerely, "I don't know how many years it took to manage such a fairy atmosphere.
Only then can it be formed!”
Hestad didn't quite understand Zhou Chen's sigh. He smiled and took Zhou Chen to the square in front of the jingshe area to find a table and chairs to sit down. Then he made a spell and sent it to Wu Jie's bamboo building.
Sound transmission.
In fact, he did not expect Wu Jie to answer, but unexpectedly, not long after the message was sent, the door of the bamboo building opened, and a short red-haired boy in red clothes walked out quickly.
The young man's features looked familiar, as if he were a smaller version of Wu Jie, but the relaxed and lively smile on his face was something Hesta had never seen on his elder brother's face.
In his impression, the eldest brother always seemed calm and easy-going. Although he often joked, he always had an aura that made people feel slightly stressed - that was probably the aura of a strong man.
But this is not the case with this young man. His smile is clear and bright, as if he is new to the world. His brisk look is clearly that of a young man who knows no worries. Looking at his smile, not only can he not feel any pressure, but on the contrary, he can't feel any pressure at all.
My mood improved inexplicably, and I couldn't help but want to smile.
The boy in red quickly came to the two of them, and first introduced himself: "I am currently refining the magic weapon and cannot be separated. This is the incarnation of the flame that I entrusted with a ray of spiritual thought. If you have anything, you can tell him.
.When he heard it, it was like I heard it.”
External incarnation?!
Hesta, a quasi-rookie who had only been practicing Buddhism for a short time, was not doing well yet, but Zhou Chen, who had been practicing Buddhism for many years and had extensive knowledge, was immediately startled, his eyes widened, and he looked at the red-haired young man in disbelief.
Aren't the supernatural powers that can be achieved by incarnation outside the body only in the Huandan realm? Zhifei Zhenren only condensed his true essence a few years ago, how come he can even master such great magical powers!
The young man in red felt his surprise and looked over with a smile: "I remember that fellow Taoist was the one who told me to go out and look for opportunities. When we met in a hurry, I didn't even have time to ask fellow Taoist's name - I'm Wu
Explanation, I don’t know what to call fellow Taoist?”
Between these words, he showed a calm aura, and Hesta nodded subconsciously - this is how a senior brother feels under normal circumstances!
Although Zhou Chen had already expected that the other party would still remember him, he didn't expect that the world-famous Zhenfei Zhenren was so humble. He couldn't help but feel a little flattered. He even stuttered a little when he spoke, and he stumbled to explain his intention.
"Elder Yuxuanzi?" Wu Jie said to himself in confusion, with some doubts in his heart - he and Yulong Sect had some connections, so it was natural for them to join in the fun. But the one who had the connection with him had given him guidance.
Zhou Chen and Ren Dong, these two junior disciples, together with Zhen Han, the "Zhao Ye King Kong" who originally pursued Taoist Sanshan Taoist, how could they be related to Master Yuxuan?
He didn't say this, just smiled and asked: "My real body is refining the magic weapon, and I won't be able to leave the seclusion for three to five months. Well, if I want to attend the ceremony, I can only let this flame incarnation go...
…I’m afraid it’s a bit rude…”
"How could that be possible?" Zhou Chen shook his head hurriedly, "We are already very happy that you, Master Zhifei, can come!"
What he said is definitely not false. Yulong Sect is a small sect. Although it has a long history, there are few masters in the sect. Elder Yu Xuanzi, who has condensed his true energy this time, is already the most powerful master in more than a thousand years.
.Compared to Zhi Feizhen, who only took sixty years to condense his true essence, there is really nothing to be proud of.
The reason why they shamelessly invited Wu Jie to attend the ceremony was because according to the convention, at such celebrations, masters of the same generation should attend the ceremony. But Yulong Sect is a small family, and none of the friends they know are decent people.
, they really couldn’t find another Ning Yuan Zhenren, so even though they knew that they had nothing to do with Wu Jie, they still gritted their teeth and sent Zhou, who had at least said a few words to Wu Jie, in the hope of being ridiculed.
morning.
"I see..." After hearing Zhou Chen explain the whole story with a blushing face, Wu Jie nodded, finally knowing the reason, he smiled and asked, "I wonder if you are busy right now?"
"Not busy! Not busy!"
"I am a young Taoist, and I don't know many places. Although I know the existence of Yulong Sect, I don't know where the gate of your sect is. Since my fellow Taoist is not busy, can I ask my fellow Taoist to stay in our sect for a few more days until I can watch the ceremony?
How about setting off with me a few days ago?" Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Being able to live in Qingyang Mountain for a period of time is a great blessing! Even if there are no other benefits, the abundant spiritual energy in this mountain is enough to improve his cultivation a lot!
Not to mention that there are many experts in Qingyang Temple. If you can get a chance to get a few pointers... it will be useful for a lifetime!
So the matter was settled like this, but after Zhou Chen moved in, he recalled how hurriedly he and Wu Jie left before even saying their names to each other. Compared with the current situation, he was extremely happy even if he could only stay a few more days.
, I couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.
The changes in the world are truly unimaginable!
More than sixty years ago, Zhou Chen and his senior brother Ren Dong followed their uncle Zhen Han to hunt down the evil cultivator Sanshan Taoist. They passed by Wujiaji and met Wu Jie, who was still a mortal at the time. Under their inspiration and guidance, Wu Jie took action.
To seek the way
Heart, went out to seek immortality... In the blink of an eye, a period of time has passed, and the ignorant boy back then has become a world-famous master, while the members of the Yulong Sect who rejected him with "no chance" are still in the middle and lower classes of the monk world.
Wander.
Zhou Chen has practiced from the realm of Taoism to the realm of Tongyou. He is already one of the most outstanding disciples among the younger disciples of Yulong Sect. To be honest, his cultivation speed is not slow. After all, Yulong Sect has nothing good.
There is no such thing as a good martial art. How many disciples have been practicing for decades, but they can’t even reach the first level of Xiantian!
He is in his early 100s this year, and he reached the realm of Tongyou when he was around 80 years old. An 80-year-old Tongyou monk is relatively young in the entire world of immortality - this means that he was probably before the age of 150.
You can achieve success in refining Gang, and there is even hope of reaching the realm of Ning Yuan in the future.
And his senior brother Ren Dong, whose surname was Tongyou as early as fifty years ago, was also a rising star who had high hopes from the teachers. Unexpectedly, God was jealous of talents. Shortly before Zhou Chen Tongyou, Ren Dong's soul was absorbed in the underworld.
During the period of Yin Qi, he was attacked by demons and ghosts, and his soul collapsed. A ray of remnant soul entered the River Styx, leaving only a slumped and dead body, which made the elders sigh.
The man who held the golden sword and was extremely brave was a figure of the same generation as Zhou Chen and Ren Dong's masters. His surname was Zhen Minghan. Because of his dazzling sword, he was tall and he liked to fight against injustices and eradicate evil.
, so it is called "King Kong that shines at night".
This Zhaoye King Kong had just refined Gang Qi at that time, and used Gang Qi to strengthen the flying sword, which was astonishingly powerful. Therefore, the evil method that Sanshan Taoist had prepared for many years was vulnerable to him, and was broken by him in just a few strokes.
Magic, destroy the magic weapon and take it away alive.
Over the past sixty years, Zhen Han's cultivation has slowly progressed from the beginning to the middle stage of the Refining Gang. He has become a pillar of the Yulong Sect. In the entire sect, except for the reclusive Supreme Elder, his cultivation level has reached the middle stage.
He is the highest, even surpassing the leader!
In the world of cultivation, the difficulty is completely different between having a master to guide you and trying to figure it out on your own. Yu Xuanzi is already old, and even if he condenses his true energy, he will not be far away from being able to achieve enlightenment; but with his guidance, Zhen Han Ning
The chance of Yuan Yuan will be much greater, and the Yulong Sect may also have a new Ning Yuan Zhenren, and the entire sect will step onto a new level.
Among the various sects in Kyushu, only if there is the inheritance of Lian Gang Feixian, it can be called a sect; only if Zhenren Ningyuan is in charge, it can be regarded as a decent sect; and there must be Zhenren Ningyuan to pass on from generation to generation, so that this sect can hold its head high and hold its chest high.
You won't feel inferior to anyone.
As for the Patriarch of Huandan... that is too far away. An upright monk should move forward step by step and should not aim too high.
During the days when Zhou Chen lived in Qingyang Mountain, Wu Jie often used the flame incarnation to see him. In addition to explaining to him some difficulties encountered in cultivation, he also chatted about daily life. These things were learned through casual conversations.
.
According to his karma with the Yulong Sect, he should actually go to watch the ceremony in person. But he really can't tell the difference now - the heaven and earth have been warmed up by the furnace, and it has almost reached an important juncture. It happens that it will be the first of the three teachings in the near future.
Said, so he is practicing hard in seclusion, using his true energy to turn into divine fire, and continuously strengthening this natal magic weapon that is still an embryo, hoping to give birth to a trace of spirituality from it before the three teachings are performed.
As long as there is a trace of spiritual surname, the power of the Heaven and Earth Furnace will be completely different, and several powerful spells recorded in the Fire Department Zhengfa can also be used!
Wu Jie is not the kind of person who aims too high, nor is he blindly confident. He knows that with his own magic power, he is definitely not particularly powerful among those who have come to the world.
Among the strong men at the end of the law, they are not particularly powerful either.
But as the eldest disciple of the twenty-seventh generation of Qingyang Temple, since he has condensed the true essence, he must participate in the performance of the three religions - not to mention that with his reputation and status, there is no room for retreat!
In this case, he could only try to improve his cultivation level as much as possible while finding ways to improve his combat effectiveness.
Otherwise... the last time the Three Religions performed, one of the three Ningyuan Masters who fought in Qingyang Temple died in the battle!
"As long as the Heaven and Earth Hong Furnace is initially refined, I can use it as a medium to cast the spell of the 'Eight-pole Furnace of the Heavenly Emperor Formation'. According to the Secret Book of the Ministry of Fire's Zhengfa, this spell is extremely powerful and is not only good at refining various
It has an evil spirit and a jaw-dropping attack range. Among the three teaching techniques, this skill is the best, so I don’t need to use any skills that may cause trouble..."
Wu Jie was refining the magic weapon while thinking secretly.
But he knows very well that no matter whether the furnace of heaven and earth is perfected or not, as long as he encounters danger in the performance of the three religions, he will eventually have to use all his trump cards.
The trump card, no matter its origin, is of no use to a dead person!
