There was a little sword cultivator from the south who became the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty and was appointed by His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
Regardless of the court's attitude towards this matter, at least they remembered the name Chen Qingshan.
As the Marquis of Taiping, Chen Qingshan received the first gift from His Majesty the Holy Emperor, a Taiping Marquis Mansion.
In the Shenmen Courtyard, there were nearly a thousand maids and servants alone. Chen Qingshan was not used to handling people, so he hid in Shengyan Academy and quietly waited for the winter hunting ceremony.
On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chang'an City was covered with snow. Chang'an City, which has always been prosperous, felt more or less like winter.
Chen Qingshan and others arrived early to wait outside Beiya. At that time, they would pass through Beiya's teleportation formation and go to the Great Wall of the North to hunt down the monks in the Sea of Stars.
Today, not only Anan and others, but also Monk Liaofan and Madam Taohua are here. They are going to watch the ceremony on the Great Wall in the north.
Since that day when Sanqujin died, Monk Liaofan has become more and more like an ordinary person. However, after Mrs. Taohua was pardoned by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, Monk Liaofan went to the best blacksmith shop in Chang'an City and had a sword made.
He called this sword Canghai, the sea of changes in the world.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also arrived. He did not look at Chen Qingshan and others, but walked straight to the front.
Later, the geniuses of Chang'an City appeared one after another. Qin Zizai, the adopted son of Prime Minister Qin, was as gentle as jade. He was cultivated in the second realm and used an ordinary broken knife.
Cheng Pengju, the son of the Minister of War, came carrying a halberd and riding a bloody horse.
A group of Confucian cultivators from Shengyan Academy, Taoist cultivators from Kongmingfang, and Buddhist cultivators from Dabei Temple entered the venue one after another.
"The geniuses of all prefectures and prefectures are waiting outside the Great Wall of the North. Let's go." At this time, His Majesty the Holy Emperor appeared on the city wall of Beiya, looking down at the geniuses of Chang'an below.
Beiya's teleportation array lit up brightly, sweeping past Chen Qingshan and others who were waiting outside, and everyone appeared on top of the Northern Governor.
King Pingbei was already waiting outside the teleportation formation. He was an old man wearing a battle armor.
The Holy Emperor arrived and bowed his head slightly towards King Pingbei. This was His Majesty's respect for this great pillar of the country.
King Pingbei returned the favor with cupped fists.
Behind King Pingbei are two great masters of the Seventh Realm, one of whom is the Tiandaohou who comes from the Wang family of Luohe.
The 10,000-foot giant slowly appeared in the field of vision holding the majestic city, facing the Great Wall in the distance, and next to it was the Beichen Star.
"Tuoba Ancient Mountain."
"Emperor Tang."
His Majesty the Holy Emperor looked at the gigantic giant.
This ten thousand-foot-long giant is a cultivator of the Eight Realms of the Xingchen Haishan family, and his name is Tuoba Ancient Mountain.
The majestic city supported by Tuoba Ancient Mountain is famous, and its name is Tianyuan.
The Tang Dynasty had the Great Wall in the north, and the Sea of Stars had three majestic cities: Tianyuan, Ark, and Wuchen.
Tuoba Ancient Mountain threw Tianyuan to the ground, and the earth shook. Inside the majestic city was the young cultivator of the Sea of Stars, looking eagerly at the Great Wall.
Chen Qingshan understood that this was a group of wolf cubs.
"These are the monks of the Tang Dynasty? Why do they look so weak?" A young man mocked, and the magic power of Tuoba Ancient Mountain was transmitted to the Great Wall.
"You are just a foreign tribe. When you reach Beichen Star, I will personally kill you." His Highness the Crown Prince said slowly.
The monks on the Beichen Star are retreating, and the monks on the Star Sea are also flying back into the Tianyuan.
"Fight the barbarians!" Someone shouted from someone above the Great Wall.
"Fight the barbarians!" followed by thousands of voices, echoing over the Great Wall in the north.
The Holy Emperor smiled, and a green light lit up from the Great Wall, sending the young cultivators of the Tang Dynasty to the North Star.
The same is true on the other side of the Star Sea, except that the light from the abyss is black.
The monks on both sides each hold jade slips, with the color of the Tang Dynasty being cyan and the sea of stars being black. They kill each other's monks, and the results are judged by the number of jade slips in their hands at the end.
After Laba, the withered night will return to the Beichen Star. At that time, star demons will be born on the withered star core. These star demons are not strong and only have one to four realms.
The dead night contains the resentment of Beichen Star, which will continuously absorb the vitality of the monks on Beichen Star. Only the star demon has fire in its body, which can resist the dead night.
In other words, in addition to hunting each other, the geniuses of both sides also need to collect the fire in the star demon's body to ensure that they do not freeze to death in the dry night.
Anan and Chang Xin are still in the same realm, so it was Sanzang who came with Chen Qingshan to participate in the winter hunting ceremony.
It is recorded on the jade slip that six hours after entering the Beichen Star, the Beichen Star will fall into the dry night. And the time of the dry night is also six hours.
When entering Beichenxing, Sanzang established contact with Chen Qingshan through the Lotus Flower of Wonderful Dharma, so Chen Qingshan now relies on this connection to find Sanzang.
After finding Tripitaka, their first priority is to find the star demon and get the fire in its body to survive the first dry night.
At the same time, on the Great Wall of the North, His Majesty the Holy Emperor looked at the Beichen Star in the distance, and next to it stood King Pingbei.
"Your Majesty, I heard that relatives from the Ancestral Mountain of the Sea of Stars have appeared."
King Pingbei's voice was sonorous and powerful, like a lion's roar, which seemed to break the snow in the north.
"Your Majesty, the cadres of the Ancestral Mountain are hidden on a star. I think I came to the ancestral mountain to use the power of the fallen star to mobilize the cadres and smash the Great Wall of the North. Fortunately, the Lord of Si Tianjian discovered it in time and let him
The two disciples of Na Ya Sheng, Jiu Jian Er Xian, stopped him."
"Furthermore, this matter seems to be related to a young man named Chen Qingshan. The Second Sage of Jiujian asked the Master of Si Tianjian to send a message to this king, saying that he would record a fourth-class merit for that young man, but I am verifying it." Ping Ping.
King Bei said again.
"Oh, Chen Qingshan, my Taipinghou. Others may not be able to control the falling stars, but if it is him, he can indeed. Please give the prince his meritorious deeds to him, lest that boy say that the Tang Dynasty is greedy for him.
Merit." His Majesty the Holy Emperor said.
"Okay, Your Majesty, why have I never heard of this Taiping Marquis?" King Pingbei agreed, but he was a little confused about Chen Qingshan's identity.
"I have just appointed you, King Pingbei, to be in charge of the northern border. Naturally, you don't know about it." His Majesty the Holy Emperor said.
Taiping Marquis Chen Qingshan naturally didn't know that His Majesty the Holy Emperor and King Pingbei were talking about him, but Chen Qingshan was a little anxious now.
Because relying on his connection with Sanzang, he sensed that Sanzang was approaching the forest of flesh and bones, and he was about to enter the forest of flesh and bones.
There are five areas on Beichen Star, the Bloody War Plain in the middle, the Abyss in the east, the Flesh and Bone Forest in the west, and the Wither and Rong domains in the north and south.
The Forest of Bones and Flesh, as the name suggests, is like a ridge of skeletons, a forest of bones, ancient trees without leaves, human skin wrapped around it, the heart and lungs hung, intestines hanging to the ground, and hair gathered into felt.
This place, like the dry realm where the dry night originated, is a forbidden place on the Beichen Star. Anyone who enters it will die without any chance of life.
No one knows whose flesh and blood in the Forest of Bones and Flesh belongs to them, and where they come from. The only thing is that this place is unknown.
Therefore, the jade slips given by the Tang Dynasty emphasized not to enter the forest of flesh and blood.
Chen Qingshan couldn't figure out why Sanzang didn't come to him and instead ran to the forest of flesh and bones. He could only hope that he could intercept Sanzang before he entered the forest of flesh and bones.
Chen Qingshan was busy on his way, but there was someone who didn't have the foresight. They were four monks from the Star Sea. They were all at the beginning of the realm, and the strongest ones were probably at the peak of the first realm.
When these people saw Chen Qingshan, they were like seeing a fishy wolf, and they immediately surrounded him.
"The thin-skinned pig of the Tang Dynasty is only one person. Kill him first, and then we will kill the star demon." The leader said.
The Tang Dynasty called the monks of the Xingchen Sea Frozen Yi, while the Xingchen Sea laughed at the people of the Tang Dynasty as thin-skinned pigs.
When Chen Qingshan saw the four people, he did not slow down and just bumped into the leader with his shoulder.
Condensed with the red dragon totem, this person's physical body is no match for Chen Qingshan.
"Ah!" As a mournful scream sounded, Xingchen Hai Bingyi's chest collapsed, and a line of blood spurted out from his mouth.
A golden stream of light flew out of Chen Qingshan's sleeve, instantly taking his life. The flying sword folded and stabbed the other three, killing them again.
There are four more bodies on the ground
Chen Qingshan put away the flying sword, pointed at the jade slips of the four people, sensed the location of Tripitaka, and ran away.
Along the way, Chen Qingshan met two more groups of people. A group of them were monks from the Tang Dynasty. They should be from counties and prefectures. Chen Qingshan didn't know them, so Chen Qingshan ignored them.
Another group of monks from the Star Sea were beheaded by Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan had already seen the prototype of the flesh and blood forest. There were two people under the flesh and blood forest, and they were slowly approaching the flesh and blood forest. One of them was Sanzang.
Seeing that half of Sanzang's feet had already stepped into the forest of flesh and bones.
"Sanzang!" Chen Qingshan shouted while bursting with speed.
The expression of the person next to Sanzang suddenly changed. He turned around and looked at Chen Qingshan. He had a skull face covered in human skin, and his eyes were full of resentment.
The skull face turned into a burst of black smoke and rushed towards Chen Qingshan, baring its teeth and claws.
A golden stream of light flew out of Chen Qingshan's sleeves, but the flying sword with the effect of destroying evil passed directly through his body, and Chen Qingshan slashed with the width of heaven and earth.
The black shadow ignored the sword, opened its mouth directly, and bit Chen Qingshan.
"Roar!" A loud dragon roar sounded, and the red dragon took the initiative to manifest.
The ghost tried to escape, but was sucked in by the red dragon and swallowed into its mouth.
The moment the red dragon swallowed this ghost, Chen Qingshan felt chills all over his body and felt great malice.
The forest of flesh and bones in front of him seemed to come alive, twisting and turning into a big mouth, swallowing Chen Qingshan and Sanzang.
A lotus platform appeared from under Sanzang, the Wonderful Dharma Lotus.
One golden lotus after another appeared from around Sanzang, and the Sanskrit sound sounded, and the forest of flesh and blood slowly returned to calm.
Chen Qingshan pulled Sanzang out.
The two of them quickly left this bizarre forest of flesh and blood.
In the forest of flesh and blood, at some point, a person appeared. It was unclear whether he was a boy or a girl. His eyes were black and white, and he seemed to be made of flesh and blood. His whole body was covered with rags.
This person just looked at Chen Qingshan and Sanzang leaving.
Chen Qingshan asked Sanzang what happened.
"After I entered Beichen Star, I wanted to go find you, but I met someone. He said he wanted my help to save some people. Later, I lost my mind. When I recovered, I was already in the Forest of Bones and Flesh." Sanzang drank some water.
Looking at Chen Qingshan, he explained.
The dead night is coming, and Chen Qingshan and Sanzang, who have just escaped from danger, must hurry to find the star demon.
