The clear sky is blooming, the flowers and trees are blooming——
Jinting Mountain has a total of thirty-six peaks, fourteen cliffs, nine cave entrances, and twenty-two pools and waterfalls. It can be said that the scenery is prosperous and the mountains are beautiful.
now.
In a palace on the ninth peak of Shigu Peak, twenty or thirty disciples from the Changying Academy gathered together, all of whom were from aristocratic families.
These talented people in the eyes of others are all sitting upright at this moment.
Some people's faces clearly have a trace of worry; some people's eyes flicker and their thoughts are uncertain; and some people's expressions seem to be slightly unhappy, but they hide it very well and do not show it.
But no matter how he behaves.
Now.
These people all observe their noses with their eyes, and their minds with their noses, just like the holy fetuses of clay statues in temples, motionless.
The atmosphere in the venue was solemn and dull for a while, and you could hear a needle drop.
Even when several bright and beautiful maids walked around to pour wine, they were also very cautious, standing on tiptoes, trying to suppress the movement of their footsteps.
He was afraid that if he made a slightly louder sound, the disciples of the Jiaoliang family would become unhappy and look at them angrily.
If that's true.
Even if he was dragged out of the palace by a few yellow scarf warriors and beaten to death on the spot, it was not unprecedented.
And as time goes by little by little.
finally.
After I don’t know how much time passed.
Suddenly, a low sigh sounded, slowly breaking the oppressive silence.
"Three hours have passed since the summons was sent out...not only has there been no reply in a handwritten letter to confirm the letter, but there is not even a servant boy who came to reply.
It seems that Xie Tang and Xie Huizhai will never come today, whatever.
They already rely on their high level of cultivation, and they have repeatedly treated us with contempt and arrogance. How can we achieve great things if people's hearts are not aligned? It is not known that it is a good thing that they do not come to Shigu Peak to discuss things together."
At this time, there were two people sitting at the top.
One is Wei Yang from the Siye Wei clan, who was also the first to speak out just now.
He was born with a face like a crown jade, a nose like a hanging gallbladder, red lips and white teeth. His appearance was different from that of ordinary people, and he could be called handsome.
Needless to say, its starry crown shines brightly in the sun, and its divine sword flies like frost.
Especially the Jiugong robe that he is wearing is as bright as clouds, the color is so striking that it reflects the surrounding walls like a wash. When the viewer looks at it for a long time, he may even feel that his pupils are like needles pricking him, and there is a faint tingling sensation.
.
As for the other person, he has blue eyes with square pupils, full of energy, and a very different appearance.
He wears a flaming brocade crane robe with a soap edge, tied with a lion jade belt, and has dry yellow flying phoenix shoes on his feet. He is tall, tall, and impressive.
This person was born in the Tianchi Jiang clan, named Jiang Tongyuan, and was the most outstanding person among the great-great-grandsons of the current head of the Jiang clan.
In this great hall, there are twenty or thirty disciples of various clans, but only Wei Yang and Jiang Tongyuan sit at the top.
Obviously, this is the implicit intention of everyone to serve them as leaders, which is self-evident.
at this time.
I heard Wei Yang let out a long sigh.
None of the descendants of the clans spoke a word.
Only Jiang Tongyuan sneered and said with disdain:
"Xie Tang and Xie Huizhai... It doesn't matter if these two people don't come. If they really accept the invitation, how to arrange seats will be a headache! Xie Huizhai is easy-going and has a good temper, but that Xie Tang is
I have to say something else, I, Jiang Tongyuan, would never want to be in the same room with this little girl, sitting side by side!"
Wei Yang slowly shook his head after hearing this and did not answer.
"Since the Xie family's people are not coming, then naturally it is up to the two virtuous brothers to decide how we should act, and we should follow the lead of the two virtuous brothers!"
In the lower seat.
A heroic young man wearing a golden glow robe and a Zhengyang crown smiled and said:
"I wonder how the two wise brothers have made a plan in mind about how to deal with the man named Chen Heng? To be honest, in the past few days, the elders of the clan have urged me several times, disturbing me to the point of losing my appetite, day and night.
It’s so uncomfortable!”
As soon as this statement came out.
Many members of the family could not help but nod their heads, showing that they felt the same way.
…
In order to improve his own Taoism, Chen Yushu secretly murdered many monks with the help of a Buddhist scripture.
And these twelve generations of families are the first to bear the brunt.
If we talk about hatred and hatred.
These aristocratic families are even more profound than some of the Shangzhen of the Yuchen Sect.
During these years, people such as Chen Yi and Chen Yangsu died suddenly and mysteriously outside the mountain gate.
Or like Chen Wei, who repeatedly competed for the top ten disciple seats but failed, and was always knocked down.
Overtly and covertly.
It is always inseparable from the handiwork of several aristocratic families...
Most of the people in the family have a domineering and flamboyant character.
Having suffered such a heavy loss at the hands of Chen Yushu, it would not be their nature if they did not retaliate in equal measure, tooth for tooth, claw for claw.
Even when Chen Yushu first entered the Xiantian Demon Sect, he still had a weak foothold.
The members of the family who practiced Taoism in the Six Demonic Sects had secretly joined together in an attempt to bring Chen Yushu down and eliminate him completely with thunderous killing methods.
It's a pity that the information was not kept secret and the information was accidentally leaked.
This act.
In the end, the success failed...
Not only did they fail to remove Chen Yushu, but they piled up corpses and piled up Chen Yushu's reputation even higher and louder.
After this battle, the members of the six demon sects no longer lived up to their past arrogance and arrogance, and gradually began to become more cautious.
Now Chen Heng is in Changying Courtyard.
No matter how murderous the people in the family were, and they wanted to crush Chen Heng's bones into ashes and repay the debt of his father and his son, they would never dare to offend the general disapproval of the world and take action openly.
Don't say they don't want to.
The Yuanyang treasure stake of all heavens and ten earths standing at the main peak of Jinting Mountain alone is enough to extinguish most of their sinister thoughts and is extremely difficult to shake!
If you want to take action against Chen Heng.
They can only use cunning means secretly to stir up the situation.
And this task.
Naturally, it also fell on the disciples of the monastic clans in Changyingyuan!
…
After the young man in Jinxia robe spoke out, many members of the family also agreed and spoke out.
The originally quiet palace suddenly became noisy.
Wei Yang, who was at the top, looked at this scene with a calm expression, but a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and it passed quickly.
It seems that he actually did not want to get involved in the attack on Chen Yushu's descendants, and this was not his grudge.
But he is from a noble family.
Since he has received many benefits from his clan since he was a child, Wei Yang is no longer a free man who can do whatever he wants.
while acting.
It is inevitable to be at the mercy of the clan and to obey the wishes of the clan elders...
"Xie Huizhai, you were clearly summoned by Fa Yan today, but you deliberately didn't come to explain it. I guess you were unwilling to do so?"
Wei Yang sighed softly and thought to himself:
"But you are also a member of the family. Although your situation is slightly better than mine, you are still trapped in the net. How long can your persistence last?"
But when Wei Yang's thoughts were churning and people from all the clansmen were talking about it.
Jiang Tongyuan, who was also at the top, was already a little impatient.
He slapped the armrest and shouted:
"Chen Heng is just a mere idiot. Is there really nothing we can do about him? You all come from aristocratic families, why bother making a mess here, but you are using other people's ambitions to destroy your own prestige! Listen up, everyone.
Yes, I have a way!"
"Brother Xian, please give me some advice."
The people at the bottom were startled at first, then raised their hands and said in unison.
"Daozi Junyao is still alive today, and Chen Heng is also a smart man. Unlike Chen Yangsu, Chen Yi is like a wandering man. He just hides in Jinting Mountain and never leaves an inch. It is absolutely difficult to attack him, but..."
at this time.
Jiang Tongyuan suddenly changed the subject and shouted:
"Since we can't use secret tricks in private, then we will do what the elder brothers in the academy did, just like they suppressed Chen Wei back then, and use a grand gesture to stumbling on that Chen Heng!"
"Grand and majestic?"
Wei Yang turned his head, looked at Jiang Tongyuan, and asked.
"Wait... Could it be that you want to challenge Chen Heng to a fight?"
"Brother Wei is a smart man, he really knows me!" Jiang Tongyuan laughed loudly.
"You want to spread the word and invite Chen Heng to fight on Baishi Peak? If there is no accident in this matter, Chen Heng's cautious temperament should not dare to respond.
In this way, once his reputation as a timid person is spread, and we publicize it widely, even if it is justifiable, he will lose his status and face, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the hospital in the future. "
Wei Yang bent his fingers and tapped the palm of his hand lightly.
He thought for a while and said quietly:
"Although this is an old story from the time when dealing with Chen Wei, the regulations are old-fashioned, but they are indeed useful..."
"It's true, it's true. Chen Heng has been huddled in his monastery these days and never goes out. I guess he is a cautious person and doesn't want to take risks. But with this hand of mine, even if I can't kill him
If we remove him immediately, at least his reputation will be severely stained! Let him stay in Jinting Mountain without shame!"
Jiang Tongyuan laughed and said loudly.
"But you forgot one thing."
Wei Yang shook his head.
"What?"
"If a rabbit is anxious, it will bite."
Wei Yangping said calmly:
"Judging from Chen Heng's seclusion these days, he is not a fool. How could he not know your plan to tarnish his reputation? If he really mustered up the courage to go to Baishan Mountain to fight,
What do you think?"
"If he really has the courage, I will directly kill him secretly during the fight!"
Jiang Tongyuan was startled at first, then sneered.
"You? You can't."
Wei Yang shook his head: "You and I are both cultivators in the Zifu, and Chen Heng is only at the second level of foundation building. There are laws and regulations in the courtyard, and we will never allow you and me to bully the small. If this matter is spread,
If you go out, you and I will be disgraced."
Don't wait for Jiang Tongyuan to speak.
Wei Yang stretched out his hand again and pointed at the crowd, and said slowly:
"And if you have the intentions of the people below, I'm afraid you will also miscalculate and fail to do your best... It is not easy for them to defeat Chen Heng in a row. They have to go through a lot of hard work. If they want to deceive the chief deacon who is watching the battle,
It would be even more difficult to destroy Chen Heng secretly!"
As soon as this sentence was spoken.
Among the many descendants of the family, there were immediately some who were not angry, and there was a faint commotion.
"Brother Wei, why do you look down on me so much?"
After a few breaths.
A girl wearing a lake-green gauze skirt frowned and said:
"We all come from aristocratic families, and if we fail, there will be nothing -"
"Junior sister, this statement is wrong. He is not a person with no foundation. Taishi Yuanzhen, created by the dignified ancestor of the Immortal Tribulation, especially has a false reputation?
If we talk about Tao Ji alone, I am afraid that no one among us here can match him."
Without waiting for Wei Yang to speak.
Jiang Tongyuan, who was at the top, sighed and spoke first:
"However, in terms of fighting skills, the battle is about Taoism, character, and experience... but it is not just a Taoist foundation that can determine success or failure!
From my point of view, Chen Heng is still far behind compared to your fellow disciples. If it were to be a life and death fight, Chen Heng would have no choice but to wait for death, and he is no match for you!"
The girl in the lake-green gauze skirt heard this and her face softened slightly. She slowly sat down.
And several members of the family who also looked unhappy also slightly suppressed their anger.
Wei Yang smiled softly when he saw this, without commenting.
"I understand your concerns, Brother Wei, but I have also been prepared."
At this moment.
Jiang Tongyuan clapped his hands.
Then a more obedient servant boy immediately understood and hurried out of the palace.
He looked at Wei Yang and said:
"I have a trick left, let's see!"
"oh?"
Wei Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.
And not long after.
The servant boy who ran out bowed and introduced the two people into the hall with great respect.
The mist in the palace is misty, sinking and floating——
Looking from afar, the visitors are revealed to be two monks, a man and a woman.
And wait until the figure approaches.
Jiang Tongyuan hasn't done anything yet.
Wei Yang's face changed color slightly and he stood up from his seat abruptly.
"Jiang Daolian? Wang Dian? When did you two enter Changyingyuan?"
The servant boy who led the way had already realized what was going on and left.
The female cultivator only smiled faintly when she heard this, but did not answer.
Only the male cultivator cupped his hands and spoke calmly, but he cherished the words like gold:
"The day before yesterday."
"The day before yesterday?"
Wei Yang felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but frown.
"With my family Daolian and Wang Dian here, what's the difficulty in destroying a mere Chen Heng!"
Jiang Tongyuan laughed loudly and looked at Wei Yang: "So, will my move be effective?"
"...Of course! But a chicken ear was slaughtered with a knife. Why not?"
A moment of silence.
Wei Yang sighed.
After seeing the appearance of this man and woman, many of the disciples of the aristocratic family in the scene were also surprised and began to whisper.
"alright!"
Jiang Tongyuan stood up violently, finally clapped his hands and shouted:
"Ten days later, Master Shen Yuanzhi will give lectures at Zhenghe Peak and take exams. All the disciples who have entered the room must not be absent! At that time, I will personally invite Chen Heng to a battle in front of all my classmates! See how he refuses!
Before that, you must not make any provocations for no reason, lest the news leaks out and ruins my plan!"
"Understood, we will obey your senior brother's decree!"
All the disciples looked at each other, bowed their hands, and responded in unison.
And in this.
A young monk wearing a silver crown was also performing the ceremony along with the crowd.
But the bottom of his eyes.
But there was a hint of strange color passing by, which was very meaningful.
…
…
At nightfall.
Jinting Mountain, Lingyin Peak.
The fire is cold, the lamp is sparse, and the water vapor is dim——
After receiving the Fu Lu summons from Manager Hong, Chen Heng, who hurriedly returned from Qin Wangfeng, had just stepped into his monastery when he was greeted warmly by several servant boys.
"Mr. Lang——"
"No need to be polite."
Chen Heng interrupted several servants who were about to prostrate themselves and said:
"Manager Hong said that Senior Brother Mi is here to look for me. He also said that the matter is of great importance? Did he ask me to return quickly?"
"Exactly, exactly."
"Where is Senior Brother Mi now?"
"Mi Langjun is drinking tea and waiting in the hall, but Manager Hong has been sent to another mountain by Mi Langjun. It seems that there is something important for Manager Hong to do."
A clever servant boy got in front of everyone and said repeatedly.
"I see."
Chen Heng nodded and strode towards the main hall.
And as soon as he crossed the threshold of the hall.
He then saw a young monk dressed in purple, with a fair face and a somewhat elegant air, pacing back and forth in the room, seemingly very restless.
"I've met senior brother Mi Hui."
Chen Heng raised his hand and spoke to the young monk.
"Coming! You're finally here!"
When Mi Hui saw Chen Heng, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He stepped forward and grabbed Chen Heng's robe by the sleeves. He sat down without distinguishing between the host and the guest, and hurriedly spoke some words from his mouth, enunciating the words in a hurry.
After finally telling the whole story clearly.
Mi Hui took a breath, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp.
He coughed a few times, looked at Chen Heng, and said eagerly:
"Junior brother, this matter was said personally by a close friend of mine. He was also on the scene when Jiang Tongyuan and Wei Yang were planning, so there is no way he can be wrong!
Things have actually come to this point! It’s so fast, what should we do?”
Mi Hui shook his head repeatedly:
"Junior brother, do you have any plans in mind?"
"Ten days later, Master Shen Yuanzhi will give lectures at Zhenghe Peak and take exams on schoolwork. All the disciples who have entered the house must not be absent... Do these people from this family actually want to attack me in public?"
Chen Heng was slightly surprised at first when he heard this.
He immediately shook his head and just smiled.
Before he even took action, this group of people in the world were already impatient and couldn't wait to play tricks on him.
but……
That's fine.
At least I've heard the news.
He was also able to make plans in advance, so as not to let those in the family seize the opportunity!
"Junior brother, this is such a big deal now, how can you still have time to laugh? Don't take it seriously!"
Seeing Chen Heng's calm expression, Mi Hui couldn't help but become a little anxious.
"Senior brother, don't worry. Even if they want to fight with me, they can only use the foundation-building monks to do it. They can't use their cultivation to suppress me." Chen Heng said.
"Foundation Establishment? Among those Foundation Establishment monks from aristocratic families, which one is not a man of heavenly and earthly treasures who grew up infused with jade liquid and fairy juice? None of them are easy to deal with!"
Mi Hui raised her voice and frowned deeply:
"What's more, Jiang Tongyuan specially moved Jiang Daolian and Wang Dian out this time. These two people——"
Seeing that Mi Hui still wanted to talk endlessly, Chen Heng shook his head and said slowly:
"Senior brother, there is no need to worry, I already have a plan in mind to avoid this disaster."
"What……"
Mi Hui was interrupted and was startled at first, a little confused.
Then he thought about it again, and his face became inexplicably filled with joy.
"I understand, senior brother understands! Are you planning to go to Shangzong to ask Daozi for help?"
Mi Hui laughed and said: "This is indeed a clever plan! If Daozi is willing to take action, these young people of the world are nothing, and how can they cause trouble! It is really a good plan!"
"But to deal with a bunch of dolphin ears, why disturb Daozi's purity? I want my senior brother to send out some communication talismans for me, preferably tonight, the sooner the better!"
Chen Heng shook his head and said.
"Metal Talisman? To whom?"
Mi Hui looked at him blankly.
"To those in the family, to the disciples who have entered the family, and to the masters and great deacons of Changyingyuan!"
Suddenly, a bright light shot out of Chen Heng's eyes, like a dragon or a snake, dazzling with determination!
Mi Hui was so pierced by those eyes that he couldn't look directly at her and turned his body sideways involuntarily.
And at this time.
He only heard Chen Heng's calm voice continuing to come:
"Ten days later, after the opening lecture at Zhenghe Peak has been completed, I will personally invite these people from this clan to fight and fight with them to the death at Baishi Peak!"
Although the tone of the words was flat, as if there were no waves in an ancient well, at the end of the words, a fierce murderous intention suddenly burst out!
It's as if it wants to smash the dome and soar up to the nine heavens, non-stop!
Mi Hui was so shocked that his eyes widened and he was struck by the perversity and cruelty.
For a moment, I was speechless and speechless...
…
And at this time.
Outside the living room.
Suddenly a thunderbolt flashed across the night sky, rumbling and booming. Its sound was extremely powerful and powerful, as if it was going to crack the mountain and crack the rocks, making all the birds, beasts and insects in the mountains and vegetation tremble!
The servant boy standing in the distance looked up at the sky, then pulled his neck back in panic.
"There was such a loud thunder, it seems like there is going to be wind and rain..."
