Qingsongguan’s Qingmu Zhenren’s birthday will be in three days.
Among the monks here, there has always been a simple truth that if you want to survive, you must have a good relationship with the powerful sects around you, otherwise the development of your own sect will be difficult.
Qingsongguan is the largest sect nearby, and Master Aoki's reputation covers the three thousand miles of Chenghua Mountains. Everyone here knows that if Master Aoki wants someone to die, then he will definitely not survive.
So when Master Aoki's birthday was coming, monks from three thousand miles around prepared birthday gifts early and rushed to the Green Pine Temple.
Among the monks who went to Qingsong Temple, there were two people who seemed out of place.
A man and a woman were not accompanied by anyone else, and they could not see any gifts at all.
The young man is wearing a black shirt, and the woman is wearing a long skirt, light blue, with a solemn expression.
The silent woman along the way, when she was less than a hundred miles away from Qingsong Temple, she spoke with some concern, "Qingsong Temple is different from Qixing Temple. Master Fuyun is by no means the only one in the mountain. Do you really want to
Is it clear?"
Although I had seen Chen Chao crush a Seven-Star Temple by himself before, compared with the Qingsong Temple, the Seven-Star Temple is not worth mentioning.
With such an existence, let alone one person, even with a few helpers, there is nothing that can be done.
Chen Chao glanced at the woman beside him and said calmly: "I told you earlier that if you were afraid, you didn't need to come. Since you are worried that I will die in Qingsongguan, what are you doing here? To accompany me to death."
Chen Ning frowned slightly, but seemed to be used to this young man's way of speaking, so he didn't get angry and just smiled, "If you really die here, I can collect your body for you."
Chen Chao just laughed it off.
In fact, both she and Chen Chao knew that they came here because Chen Chao had opened up a small and medium-sized business in Liuguang City. In their opinion, this family business was enough to operate slowly and slowly.
Over time, Little Snow Sect will have a very bright future, but now, if Chen Chao dies, then this family fortune will collapse in an instant.
"Actually, you already knew that there are not many strong people in Qingsong Temple nowadays, but you didn't tell me because you just thought that I would retreat in the face of difficulties."
Chen Chao didn't look at Chen Ning and spoke calmly. There was only business to talk about with this woman, but he didn't have any other emotions.
Chen Ning glanced at Chen Chao, "Even though Qingsongguan has been recruiting some strong men these days, there are definitely three Fuyuns in the mountain now."
One on three, such a simple truth, Chen Ning believed that he didn’t need to say much.
Chen Chao looked at Chen Ning, just shook his head, and said with emotion: "In my life, wanting to be one-on-one with others has always been a luxury."
Whether it was in the northern border or earlier, the Chen Dynasty had always used one enemy against many. When both sides had equal numbers, nothing really happened.
However, the reason why Chen Chao is not worried now is not only that there are only three Fuyun in Qingsong Temple, but also because when he fought against Master Qixing, he discovered that the Fuyun monks here have an unexpected
Weak.
Similar to the realm they had built up with countless elixirs, their weak combat power surprised even Chen Chao.
The previous Qixing Zhenren was at best similar to the Tea Sage Mr. Lu, and could never be stronger than him.
If this group of Fuyun people are all in this state, then actually having a few more people means nothing to Chen Chao.
Moreover, today's Chen Dynasty is still the Chen Dynasty of that year. After killing the Demon Emperor, not to mention overseas, even the Fuyun monks over there, everyone has to be separated from him by a thin line.
Even the leader of the Sword Sect in its heyday has no chance of defeating the Chen Dynasty now.
There are many Fuyun monks overseas, but not many of them have the fighting power of the Chen Dynasty today.
He is still very young, less than thirty years old, but just as the girl in white said, if his qualifications were placed in the previous era, he would be a proper warrior god.
"Then this time...it's better to be direct..."
In fact, Chen Ning still had a worried look on his face. Even if Chen Chao could escape unscathed this time, what about next time? If he keeps killing like this, everyone will be in danger and they will always unite to take his life.
In this way, his final result is self-evident.
Chen Chao seemed to have guessed what Chen Ning was thinking, and just smiled and said: "I slashed the Seven Star Master many times until he had no flesh and blood except for his head and heart. Then he looked like that, you know
Did he ask me a question?"
Chen Ning's face turned pale because she remembered the white bones she saw on the mountain road that night. Although she guessed that it was Chen Chao's method, she still couldn't believe it.
She also kills people, but she has never seen anyone kill like Chen Chao in her life.
However, although Chen Ning did not intend to recall it, he finally started to ask: "What did he ask?"
"He said, if everyone is like this and doesn't treat those fishermen as human beings, are you still going to kill everyone?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Do you also want to ask this question?"
Chen Ning thought for a while and said: "I wanted to ask before, but now I have the answer. You will kill everyone."
Chen Chao gave Chen Ning a strange look, but still nodded.
"I didn't understand the meaning of what you did a few days ago, but then I thought about it, if from another perspective, I became the one being protected, and if someone would do this to me, that would actually be good."
Chen Ning said softly: "When the benefits do not come to you, it is always difficult to accept that others can get such good things."
"Is your philosophy of practice that the strong should protect the weak?"
Chen Ning was suddenly very curious. From the young man in front of her, she saw something that was not available here. Naturally, she was very curious about the young man in front of her and the world behind him.
Chen Chao shook his head, "No, I'm just fulfilling my duties."
After saying this, the guard of the Liang Dynasty thought for a while and said somewhat seriously: "But the strong should not bully the weak, nor should they ignore the lives of the weak."
"If there is no mistake, never kill."
…
…
On the Fairy Island side, after someone reclaimed the sea and connected these star-like islands into a whole, they only used the simplest four parts to divide the four pieces of land.
A discerning person would know at a glance that this kind of naming was perfunctory, but no one tried to change it, so it has been passed down like this for thousands of years.
In fact, in terms of the number and level of monks in the west, they have always been in the middle of the four tribes. It is worse than the south, but not as good as the east and north.
However, in terms of territory alone, the west is the most vast among the four tribes, but there are not many places suitable for practice, so there are not many sects.
There have been a total of three sects in this place that have been the leaders. Each sect has only managed to persist for more than three hundred years. The current Fuyao Sect has actually been around for almost three hundred years.
Fuyao Sect is established on Guishan Mountain, the highest in the west. The sect leader Fuyao Tianren is known as the rare strongest among the four sects. There is a list here on Xiandao, which lists the strongest people in the world. The top three are
Humans, most of the divine dragons have seen their beginnings but not their tails, and apart from these three people, this Fuyao Heavenly Man is the most powerful.
So after the four tribes began to confront each other, the remaining three tribes agreed that as long as the sect leader Fuyao Tianren could be killed, the matter here would be completely over.
I just wanted to think so, but if I really wanted to take action, I'm afraid that without the cooperation of more than a dozen so-called powerful men on the list, it would be difficult to be sure that I could kill this Fuyao Celestial Being.
Today there is an autumn rain on Guishan Mountain.
It's almost the cold winter season, and it's said that every rain means cold weather.
In an elegant bamboo house in Guishan, Fuyao Celestial Being, who looked no more than forty years old, was wearing white clothes and sitting cross-legged in front of an ordinary wooden table.
On the wooden table, there were simple furnishings, a small red clay stove, and a small iron kettle on the stove, which was now emitting hot mist.
Two teacups are placed on both sides of the table.
There was a slight breeze blowing in the autumn rain outside the window, bringing a wisp of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.
Guishan is full of laurel trees.
Opposite Fuyao Tianren is a middle-aged man with a slightly pale complexion and some stubble on his face, looking a bit weathered.
"Although Your Majesty is the co-owner of the world, I'm afraid you have never drank this kind of tea, right?"
Fuyao Celestial Being smiled and said, "This tea tree only grows on the top of Guishan Mountain. It blooms once every sixty years. After blooming, people only have one night to pick tea leaves. Otherwise, when you look at it the next day, all the tea leaves will be gone."
.”
Sitting opposite the Fuyao sect master was the Emperor Liang who had been away for a long time. He first turned to look out the window. The girl in white was sitting under the eaves, catching the rainwater with her hands, waiting until it was full, and then pouring it out.
, this cycle repeats itself, which is a bit unpleasant.
Chen Che smiled and said: "When I was the emperor, I didn't like drinking tea very much, but I couldn't drink too much, otherwise the officials would catch me and talk non-stop."
Fuyao Tianren smiled and nodded, "Everyone in the world says that the emperor is good, but the emperor is the most uncomfortable. Before I came here, it was when the Jin Dynasty was founded. The founder of the Jin Dynasty worked hard to govern. It is said that every day
I only slept for half an hour, and the rest of the time I was busy with government affairs. Just listening to this kind of emperor makes me feel extremely bored. If I were asked to do it, it would really cost me my life."
Chen Che said: "It is indeed a troublesome matter. After more than ten years, I am exhausted both physically and mentally."
Fuyao Heavenly Man smiled and said: "After being in a cage for a long time, you can return to nature."
Chen Che sighed with emotion: "But it's thanks to that child, otherwise how could I have come here with peace of mind."
Fuyao Celestial Being has always heard the Emperor Liang mention that young man these days, and he can't help but feel a little expectant, "I have always heard your Majesty say that, and I also really want to meet this young talent, but I don't know when.
"
Chen Che was not in a hurry to speak, but was a little silent.
He had just returned to Daliang once. The Northern Expedition was over and the demon clan was destroyed. In fact, no matter how you looked at it, it was time to achieve success. The swords and guns were stored in the warehouse and the horses were released to the Nanshan Mountains.
At this moment, my nephew should have a good rest for a few years, but he has to drag himself into this matter?
If possible, Chen Che would not do it. As an uncle, you should protect your nephew from the wind and rain.
What's more, my nephew has already done a lot for his uncle.
"He's already here."
The girl in white clothes outside the window walked into the bamboo building at some point. She was holding several bamboo slips in her hand, and after throwing them all on the table, she said: "There has been something new in the south recently."
Mentioning the south, Chen Che frowned. The Yingzhou Sea in Daliang was connected to the south. If Chen Chao really came over, he would definitely go to the south first.
"What happened?"
Chen Che glanced at the girl in white. Although he probably knew that the content was related to Chen Chao, he still...
The girl in white rolled her eyes at Chen Che and said: "There is a young man in black who is killing people over there. Starting from Liuguang City, many people have been killed around him. The news in the past few days is that the Qixing Daoist from Qixing Temple also
He died in his hands, and he killed people all he wanted. He also destroyed a Seven-Star Temple. If those people couldn't find out where he came from, then they could only be from Daliang. Coupled with his appearance and temperament,
Not your nephew?"
Chen Che frowned, and Fuyao Heavenly Man asked curiously: "Your Majesty's nephew, is it best to kill someone?"
The girl in white clothes said angrily: "The sect chief went there to inquire, and found out that the young guy didn't have a good reputation. All the people who offended him did not end well. They were killed here and there. This is him.
It is said that there is also some kind of devil title over there."
Chen Che didn't care too much, "That boy has a straightforward temper. It's not impossible to do these things, but there must be a reason for it. He is by no means a person who kills indiscriminately."
Fuyao Celestial Being nodded. Although he had never met Chen Chao, he could tell what Chen Chao's temperament was from Chen Che's words these days.
"If he kills people like this in the south, he will cause some trouble. If they join forces there to deal with him, his situation will not be good."
Fuyao Tianren took a deep breath.
Chen Che shook his head, "Over there in Daliang, he killed the old monster with his own hands. His current level of combat power is probably not inferior to mine."
Fuyao Tianren was startled. He knew Chen Che's realm of cultivation very well. That is to say, if he was not here, otherwise there would definitely be a place for Emperor Liang on the list.
And the ranking will never be low.
Chen Che glanced at Fuyao Tianren and said a very important sentence, "From Wangyou to Fuyun, I have also walked the same path before, but my nephew is still on the road to death, and he has to step up a step further.
cut."
Fuyao Celestial Being has a complicated expression. As a person of this world, he naturally knows that the path of cultivation in this life is not complete. It is a real incomplete road. When you reach the end of Wangyou, it is the real extreme.
It is almost impossible to move forward.
A martial arts genius like Chen Che finally found the path of the previous generation before moving forward, but that young man actually relied on himself to forcefully stay on this path and move forward again?
"If you say this, you can't treat him as an ordinary genius. I'm afraid it won't be long before he is invincible in the world?"
Fuyao Heavenly Man was a little excited. Such a genius could not be found just by touching the upper lip to the lower lip. When encountering one, it was truly the luck of the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.
In this vast history, except for the legendary ancestor of the three religions and the founder of the martial arts, there is only one who is said to have single-handedly raised the sword to truly unparalleled killing power.
Apart from the swordsman, there is no one who can be said to be a truly unparalleled genius.
The founder of the three religions came from scratch, while the swordsman made a step forward in the lineage of swordsmanship for the world's sword cultivators. I can't say who is more amazing.
But Fuyao Heavenly Man respected the Sword Immortal the most.
And does Chen Chao and that sword immortal now have similar experiences?
He has continued on this generation's road to a dead end. If he can leave a legend in the future, future generations in the world will be grateful to him.
Chen Che smiled and said, "My nephew is better than the founder of the three religions."
Fuyao Heavenly Man did not say anything to disappoint him, he just smiled and picked up the iron kettle and made a cup of tea for the Emperor of Liang.
On the contrary, the girl in white said angrily: "That guy is here, he should be looking for us, but he killed us randomly, why are you praising us here?"
Chen Che smiled and said: "My nephew knows the importance best. If he doesn't come now, he must have more important things to do. You can just check it out."
The girl in white twitched her lips, "Just protect him."
Chen Che smiled and said nothing. To this day, between uncle and nephew, it has long been unclear who protects whom. But to be honest, if possible, Chen Che would definitely die in front of his nephew.
The world belongs to young people, so young people should continue to watch.
Fuyao Tianren picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile: "When such a young man comes, will we definitely be able to accomplish what we want to do?"
The girl in white said angrily: "Where can it be so easy?"
Chen Che shook his head and smiled: "I think it should be possible, this time it's him, but in fact, there is a whole beam behind us."
The girl in white raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it that young Taoist priest or that fool who uses a sword?"
Chen Che repeated impatiently: "It's a big beam."
In that Daliang, the ancestors of the Chen family spent more than two hundred years and several generations running a dynasty to its peak period. After that, they lay dormant for more than ten years, allowing the Daliang Dynasty to finally stand up and speak.
After that, it was his nephew who really pushed the Liang Dynasty to its peak.
Today's dynasty truly looks like a dynasty.
The iron law of Daliang is really an iron law, suitable for any state capital and every inch of land.
The girl in white looked at the energetic Emperor Liang in front of her and suddenly asked: "So who did your father want to pass the throne to?"
This is the answer that many people in Daliang want to know now.
Emperor Lingzong had always been a wise king in the eyes of the officials in Daliang in his early years. However, after the sudden death of the Crown Prince, he made a decision that most of the officials at the time were a little confused about.
Skipping the prince who was still alive, the throne was passed directly to the emperor's grandson.
This is never a wise move for a dynasty.
But now that they have gone through so much, everyone is also thinking deeply. Did Emperor Lingzong want to pass the throne to Emperor Liang in front of him early on? Even if he established a prince, it was just to protect him?
Perhaps Emperor Lingzong knew long ago that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not live to ascend the throne in the end, and his existence was only to block the light of Emperor Liang.
Later, the throne was passed to depose the emperor, also to make Fang Wai take it lightly.
Later, the Emperor of Liang raised an army and took over the world. Fang Wai naturally thought that the Emperor of Liang could not stabilize the world, and he was happy to see his success.
But who could have imagined that Emperor Liang would secure the throne in the shortest time and govern the world like this.
If all of this was intentional from the beginning to the end, then it would be really terrible.
Chen Che had actually been thinking about it since the girl in white asked this question. Now he picked up the tea cup and after a few sips, he shook his head and said, "The only thing I can't understand in my life is that my father is
The emperor is king."
The girl in white didn't get the answer she wanted. Just as she was about to speak, another stream of light passed by in the distance and crashed into the window, bringing with it a touch of osmanthus fragrance.
The girl in white took a look, twitched her lips, and said in annoyance, "Your good nephew is going to Qingsong Temple."
Fuyao Tianren, who had not spoken for a long time, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Qingsong Temple?"
"The master of the temple, Zhenren Aoki, has a very high level of cultivation."
Fuyao Heavenly Man sighed with emotion: "If this can really be done..."
Having said this, he raised his glass, took a sip of tea, and laughed.
…
…
At the foot of Qingsongguan Mountain, Chen Chao and Chen Ning had just stepped onto the mountain road when a Taoist floated down and stopped in front of them. The Taoist seemed ordinary, but his eyes were filled with majestic Taoism. With just one glance, he knew that this Taoist had already
He is the great monk Fuyun who has overcome forgetfulness.
He looked at Chen Chao and said, "I am a poor Taoist, but I have seen fellow Taoists."
Chen Chao looked at him without saying a word.
Lingxuzi smiled and said: "I already know what you have been doing these days. If you are here to wish senior brother Pindao a birthday, please come up to the mountain. If it is for other reasons, Pindao has some small gifts here. I hope you can take them and go back."
.”
Chen Chao looked at Ling Xuzi in front of him and said, "I came all the way here just to see the real person Aoki and admire his immortal face."
Lingxuzi sighed and said, "My fellow Taoist, there is only murderous intent in these eyes, how can you say these words?"
Chen Chao asked sincerely: "Since the Taoist Master has already seen it, why bother to say more."
Lingxuzi shook his head and said: "Senior Brother's birthday is today. It would be best if we can't afford weapons, but do you have to be so reluctant, fellow Taoist?"
Chen Ning looked at Chen Chao from the side, not knowing what to say, and was a little silent.
Chen Chao looked at Ling Xuzi and smiled, "I came here today just to prevent that Master Aoki from celebrating his birthday."
Lingxuzi's face became extremely ugly. These words were essentially the same as demolishing the mountain gate of their Qingsong Temple.
Chen Chao was thinking about himself and said: "Want to celebrate your birthday and live another hundred years? If I don't agree, what will you live for?"
After saying this, the young man no longer concealed his murderous intention and narrowed his eyes.
