The pines in the dragon cave, the rainbow in the autumn sky.
High cliffs reach into the sky, and ancient trees are lush—
After leaving the main hall where Cui Jingzhong lived.
What Chen Heng saw along the way was an elegant scene with red cliffs, green pavilions, lush forests and bamboos, which looked like a painting by a Chinese artist.
Exactly:
The yellow flowers and red trees are blooming, and the palaces are scattered in the west.
The clusters of palaces and pavilions are scattered and intertwined, deep and solemn. Looking up, you can see the high stone platform and the smoke and light of the trees. They are all bright and wonderful, quiet and far-reaching.
The top of your head, in the middle of the sky.
A crystal clear orb with twelve orifices was shining brightly, driving away the dark and turbid obstacles, shining brightly for half the sky, extremely dazzling.
According to Cui Jingzhong, there are no such things as the sky, sun, moon, and stars in the abyss of the earth.
This bead was specially placed in the sky by the true king for the servants in the Golden Drum Cave. The maids could reconcile the Yin in Li Zhong and the Yang in Kan Zhong in their bodies, so that their minds would not be tired and they could continue their orthodox practice. , not disturbed by turbidity.
At the highest point within the field of vision is a vast palace that is simple and strange in style.
There are thousands of seven-grade lotus statues made of glazed bricks all over the tower. Their majestic and vast size overwhelms the surrounding peaks and jade palaces, making them completely unable to compete with them.
In front of the palace, there is a golden drum a hundred feet high, like a small sun embedded deeply, the atmosphere is extremely majestic and majestic.
Chen Heng looked away.
But on the surface of the golden drum, there is a clear pattern of a figure with three heads and twelve arms, which looks like a terrifying ghost.
Just like a living creature, it is running around and struggling on the drum surface, as if it wants to break the golden drum and return to the world.
But no matter how furiously the ghost and god acted, beating him with his fists, he was still trapped in the golden drum, unable to escape.
He was slightly surprised to see this scene and wanted to take a closer look.
At this time, he felt that his eyes were like pins and needles, and the pain was so severe that he had to turn his head away and close his eyes.
"Junior Brother Chen, that palace is the retreat place of the True Lord. How about it? Isn't it extraordinary when you first look at it?"
Cui Jingzhong smiled and said:
"As for the golden drum in front of the palace, do you know its origin?"
"But it's related to the great ghost and god of yellow pus?" Chen Heng said.
"good."
Cui Jingzhong nodded when he heard this. His face was always smiling, but there was a rare flash of inexplicable unbearable meaning on his face.
He kept looking at the golden drum.
After a long time, he suddenly shook his head heavily and said something to Chen Heng.
Before Qiao Yubi entered the abyss of the earth.
There was once a powerful giant in the abyss of the earth who wreaked havoc in the abyss of the earth. He commanded tens of thousands of ghost generals and created a ghost kingdom. He even led his troops to attack outside the abyss several times and plundered the secular population with great momentum.
That great omen cultivator is the Yellow Pussy Ghost God.
Beyond the abyss.
The Wuguang Sect and Shenhuo Ya who were adjacent to the exit of the cave could not be restrained and could not engage in a head-on attack. They could only defend the mountain gate.
Later, things got serious, and an elder of the Yuchen sect came forward to intervene, and the ghostly trouble stopped for a while.
However, the great ghost and god Huang Pu has a high level of cultivation after all.
Although the elder of the Yuchen Sect shattered his Netherworld Ghost Kingdom, he was ultimately unable to kill it in one battle. He was only injured but did not die.
After the Yuchen sect elder left for some reason.
The great yellow pus ghost and god then returned to his old ways, broke out of the barrier, gathered the old tribes that had been scattered and separated, and regrouped.
Even Shanhu Gong and Feihua Granny are the former members of this great ghost and god.
Cui Jingzhong's parents were both monks who were kidnapped and brought to the abyss of the earth. Shortly after Cui Jingzhong gave birth, they were devoured by ghosts and gods.
And if Qiao Yubi hadn't entered the abyss of the earth, he might have become a piece of meat in the mouths of ghosts and gods...
"The true king is kind-hearted and has thousands of living people. He can kill the yellow pus ghosts and gods with one sword. He is really powerful!"
Cui Jingzhong sighed, pointed at the golden drum, and said:
"Now the spirit of the great yellow pus ghost is imprisoned in the golden drum. Every day, it has to be consumed by the golden wind and fierce fire. It cannot survive or die. In this situation, I am indeed satisfied. I have finally eliminated the evil spirit in my heart...
…”
Don't wait for Chen Heng to offer words of comfort.
Cui Jingzhong smiled freely, strode forward, took the initiative to change the subject, and said with a smile:
"The past is over, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless. You can only worry about it. Let's go! Let's go!"
But it’s strange to say that, Junior Brother Chen, you are so valued by Ding Xian that he actually sent his own son and two ghost dragons to protect you? This old ghost has always been a hawk when it comes to rabbits. It seems that he also
I can see that my junior brother is not an ordinary person!"
As early as a few days ago.
Ding Wei had already bid farewell to Chen Heng and returned to Wuyunye with the two Ming Jiao and the ghost generals.
After all, Jingu Cave is a blessed place, far better than Wuyunye, and it is also a retreat place for True Lord Chunyang.
Logically speaking.
Ding Wei is afraid that he should not leave in a hurry. It is only right to stay here for a few days.
However, when Chen Heng asked about the reason that day, Ding Wei just hesitated and did not dare to admit it frankly. Finally, after struggling to spit out the name "Qiao Ting" from his mouth, he lowered his head.
There was also a look of shame, anger and helplessness on his face, as if he had suffered a great loss at the hands of Qiao Tiao.
Cui Jingzhong, who was sitting next to him, only smiled and said nothing, and the expression on his face at that time was also quite subtle.
"Senior Ding is indeed very kind to me. If it hadn't been for his arrangement, I might not have been able to support Qiao Zhenjun from taking action."
Chen Heng smiled slightly and said:
"However, Senior Brother Cui, I am currently confused."
"Oh? What don't you understand, junior brother? Anyway, don't be polite to me, senior brother!"
"Who is that Qiao Ting? Not only does Ding Wei fear her like a tiger, he doesn't even want to mention her name. Even his senior brother is very tolerant and gives in when he confronts her."
Gradually the wind swept away and the clouds opened.
Chen Heng's sleeves and robe were swaying in the wind like drifting clouds. He stretched out his hand to catch it and said:
"Could she be Qiao Zhenjun's descendant?"
Cui Jingzhong, who was patting his chest and smiling, suddenly froze after hearing this.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally stopped, smiled bitterly, and said:
"What junior brother said, even if it's not right, it's not far off... From what Ding Wei said, junior brother, have you mastered the cultivation method of Yin Erosion Red Water?"
Chen Heng nodded.
"Although I am not a member of the Qiao family in Mishan, I grew up in the Golden Drum Cave after all. Most of the servants and maids in the cave were brought by Zhenjun from the Qiao family. I have heard about it over and over again.
There are some inside stories and rumors."
Cui Jingzhong shook his head and said: "Your eroded red water is the proud magical power of Qiao Ting's father, Qiao Zhijie!
I heard that this man once relied on this water method to collect all the black water of Luo An and the white water of death, killing people all over the world in Kyushu, and gained a huge reputation! He was called the Yinxing old monster, and he was fierce and powerful.
Hehe!"
"Qiao Zhijie?"
Chen Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.
It’s not just the negative erosion of red water.
I actually found the Luo An Black Water and the Death White Water...
So it goes like this.
Then doesn’t he have gathered all the sub-waters of Netherworld True Water?
It's just that if you want to unify the three major waters and develop the true Netherworld water, you need the cooperation of special combined training methods.
I don’t know if Qiao Zhijie has succeeded yet.
If it is truly refined, the true water of the netherworld will come out, relying on the mysterious nature of that true water.
Within the four seas of Kyushu...
Even a monk who is a level higher than Qiao Zhijie would not be able to completely kill him in a battle with supernatural powers!
Being able to possess such Taoism is enough to be called a person with great supernatural powers!
"Later I heard that the old monster Yin Xing fought with others and was transformed into Zhu Jingtian. I don't know if this rumor is true, but Qiao Ting was indeed brought to the Golden Drum Cave by Zhenjun and was raised by his side."
Cui Jingzhong spread his hands: "And the old weirdo Qiao Zhijie of Yinxing is the younger brother of the same father as the true king...
You said Qiao Ting has such a prominent background, who can mess with her? Who dares to mess with her? Only we are afraid to avoid her!"
Hearing this, Chen Heng had a thoughtful look on his face, nodded, and said no more words.
But at this moment he didn't want to speak.
Cui Jingzhong was provoked to talk, and he couldn't close his mouth and vomited bitterness.
On the way to the warehouse, he complained about how domineering and coquettish Qiao Ting was, making trouble everywhere for no reason, which was a waste of her good looks. She was completely different from Qiao Rui in temperament!
…
"However, your senior brother, I have a broad mind and I don't care about these trivial things! It is said that a big belly can tolerate things that the world cannot tolerate!"
End of words.
Cui Jingzhong patted Liu Yuan's belly, and did not forget to mention Chen Heng:
"If junior brother is unfortunate enough to bump into that Qiao Ting, remember not to have any conflict with her. This little girl has always been unruly and unreasonable! Fortunately, she will enter the lower courtyard of the Chiming Sect to practice Taoism in half a year. By then, senior brother I have finally taken off my shackles!"
"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip. I can save it."
Chen Heng nodded slightly.
at this time.
After turning around a dense cloud forest of rocks, the originally narrow field of vision suddenly became clearer.
But when Fu Xiu returned to Luan, there was fighting and chaos.
Facing us is a steep and high wall, rising straight into the clouds, with haze rising above.
Looking up, it looks like it has been chipped away, and its whole body is as rugged as a solitary tung tree and a strong pine tree.
A large waterfall that looked like a white rainbow thundered down from the top of the cliff, flowing continuously and splashing countless jade beads. When they washed against the rocks as big as houses, they made a clear and crisp sound, which was very entertaining to the ears.
Not far from the hanging spring waterfall, you can see green beads and winding paths with short fences.
Looking around, you can vaguely see an elegant small pavilion, half hidden and half exposed among thousands of bamboo poles, or an eaves and tiles, vaguely visible.
"This spring waterfall is Baiyang Waterfall. It is the name that Zhenjun said personally. When he was young, he was fond of the mountains and rivers. Every plant and tree here has its own unique interest. And not far from here, it is the location of the warehouse. Already."
Cui Jingzhong raised his hand and pointed, saying:
"The red lead Dahuan Dan that I will teach you to refine next is more complicated and requires a lot of herbs. This elixir is beneficial to Zifu's advanced skills. It can warm and nourish the consciousness and increase inspiration. It is a blind way to Good external elixir! Senior brother, this is the elixir I am best at refining!"
He smiled proudly, and just wanted to boast again.
But I saw the distant bamboo forest rustling in the wind, and then a rainbow light suddenly came over and fell into the small pavilion in the forest.
"What? Didn't you learn piano at Xiaomei Mountain? Why did you come to Baiyang Waterfall again!"
Cui Jingzhong's face turned dark.
Instantly.
I could only hear the clear voice playing loudly in the clouds.
A Luan Chariot flew up in the air, surrounded by a group of colorful maids holding incense or lighting lanterns, clustering around the Luan Chariot like stars holding the moon.
"Go! Go..."
Cui Jingzhong covered his face with his sleeves and turned around to leave: "If you can't offend us, you can still hide!"
But before he could run a few steps away, he was coldly called by the woman on the Luan car, wanting to talk to him.
Chen Heng looked up.
I saw that the curtain on the carriage was slightly lifted, and I could vaguely see the vague figure of a woman, but it was quickly closed again.
"Junior brother is the person that Zhenjun wanted to summon after breaking through the barrier specially. Even if she, Qiao Ting, is unruly, she should not dare to be too presumptuous..."
A few moments.
The luan chariot and the maids on both sides flew down to the small pavilion in the bamboo forest, opened the splendid canopy, and surrounded the painted screens on all sides to block the smoke and water.
Cui Jingzhong's expression changed several times, but he still sighed and said to Chen Heng:
"If there is any verbal conflict later, please don't take it to heart. Senior brother, I will handle it!"
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Heng looked unconcerned and walked towards the small pavilion with a calm expression.
"Slow down, slow down! Junior brother, please wait for me..."
Cui Jingzhong was startled, secretly complained, and quickly pulled up his heels.
It’s only a short half-mile journey.
Cui Jingzhong stumbled as he walked, as if there was some kind of sword under his feet. Every step was carefully measured and tiptoed.
It was Qiao Tiao's maid who got impatient and came out to urge him again, forcing him to speed up his pace.
…
…
Look around.
The wind moves the bamboo tops like waves of wheat, which is very interesting.
At the small pavilion in the forest, the screen was already bright and the lights were brilliant.
A woman with skin like jade snow and an extremely beautiful face sat lazily on a jade chair, resting her chin on her hands and looking careless.
In front of her was a table with a jade porcelain tea cup, and the aroma floated up into the air.
Chen Heng and Cui Jingzhong came forward.
Her eyes were flowing, her slender eyebrows were raised, and she said calmly: "Give me a seat."
After hearing this order, the maid outside the pavilion quickly placed two more jade chairs and changed the incense in the stove.
For a while, the fragrance lingered, like winter plum blossoms breaking wax.
Cui Jingzhong seemed to be treated like this by Qiao Ting for the first time. He was quite flattered. He blinked in confusion and said:
"Junior Sister Qiao——"
"Who is your junior sister, and whose senior brother are you?"
Qiao Ting glanced at him expressionlessly:
"Do you think I'm a brainless little girl like Qiao Rui?"
Cui Jingzhong was choked by these words for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He could only hold up a tea cup and sip to cover up the embarrassment on his face.
"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature! Why did I suddenly change my personality in front of a little girl? It turns out that I'm still the same unruly person as before!"
He smiled bitterly in his heart and couldn't help shouting.
"Are you Chen Heng?"
Qiao Tiao's eyes turned and she didn't pay much attention to Cui Jingzhong. Instead, she looked at Chen Heng and said:
"That Chen Heng who inherited my father's Yin Eclipse Red Water inheritance?"
"Exactly."
Chen Heng replied.
"I heard from the little brat Ding Wei that Zhenjun also gave you a beast-head token?"
Qiao Tiao asked again.
Chen Heng nodded slightly.
"Then do you know that you and I are engaged?"
After Qiao Ting said these words, not only Chen Heng was stunned, Cui Jingzhong beside him even stared in shock.
There was a "pop" sound.
When he loosened his fingers, the tea cup fell to pieces at his feet, splashing tea all over his body.
"Junior Brother Chen actually has an engagement with you. When did it happen?"
Cui Jingzhong swallowed and said in a trembling voice:
