There is no trace of the Nine Girls in the Dengli Mountains, so Chen Hao will not be able to stay here for long and will have to leave sooner or later.
But walking in the world of cultivation is like a mortal on earth walking through uninhabited mountains and forests, and the chance of encountering danger is very high.
This danger is not just the threat from other stronger monks, there are many more.
For example, there are monsters, monsters, natural dangers, catastrophes in the world, and terrifying environments... Some dangers are even inexplicable and incomprehensible.
Chen Hao had seen this kind of incomprehensible danger in Tian Chenzi's memory.
They were two criss-crossing lines hundreds of meters long, about the thickness of a baby's finger, moving slowly and irregularly in the high air.
At that time, although Tian Chenzi had not yet reached the peak state of late Mahayana cultivation, he was already a great monk in the integration stage. He was walking in the countryside with several other integration stage monks and friends, exchanging cultivation experiences. Suddenly he saw cross lines flying through the air, and he was very excited.
surprise.
Not knowing what it was, they flew into the sky one after another to find out.
However, before they could get closer to take a closer look, the line suddenly accelerated, incredibly fast, and passed through the bodies of several Fusion Stage monks like blades, instantly tearing them into pieces, and not even the Nascent Soul escaped.
Those monks in the integration stage were killed on the spot, their blood spilled into the sky, and their corpses fell.
Tian Chenzi and another surviving monk in the integration stage happened to be at the very back and were not cut by the line, but they were frightened to death and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
However, the speed of the line was extremely fast, and the two of them could not escape at all. They thought they were certain to die. Unexpectedly, the line did not chase them at all, and disappeared on the spot.
The two of them were in shock. After a long while, they confirmed that the line had disappeared, and then they rushed back cautiously and collected the body of their killed monk friend.
This incident left a deep impression on Tian Chenzi. In order to find the answer, Tian Chenzi spent decades searching everywhere for advice, but no one knew what the line was, and most people had never even heard of it.
What's even more bizarre is that the Fusion Stage monk who had the same luck as Tian Chenzi escaped suddenly disappeared shortly after the disaster. No matter how hard Tian Chenzi looked for it, he could not find it.
It was not until a hundred years later that Tian Chenzi suddenly received a letter from the monk in the integration stage, saying that he wanted to meet him.
Although Tianchenzi found it strange, after all, he was a friend he hadn't seen for many years, so he went anyway.
Finally, when they arrived at the appointed place, Tian Chenzi was shocked to find that the monk in the integration stage had turned into a tree.
A human-shaped tree.
Tianchenzi scanned the human-shaped tree with his spiritual sense and other means, and found that it was an ordinary tree. Apart from being human-shaped, there was nothing special about it.
However, this human-shaped tree has existed for hundreds of years.
In other words, a hundred years ago, shortly after the monk in the integration stage disappeared, it turned into this tree.
So, the question is, since this monk has long been turned into a tree, who sent the message to Tianchenzi Feixun?
At this time, Tianchenzi had broken through the Mahayana stage and was the top monk in the world of cultivation. However, faced with such strange things, he still couldn't understand and felt very panicked.
Tianchenzi didn't dare to stay and left the place in a hurry. Afterwards, he used various methods to check himself and confirmed that he had not encountered any curse, and then he was slightly relieved.
After several years, Tian Chenzi was still fine, and he was completely relieved. When communicating with other monks, he also reported this incident as an anecdote.
The listener is curious and wants to find out.
Tianchenzi didn't want to go, but couldn't resist being persuaded, so he had to lead a group of top monks to the location of the humanoid tree again.
But something strange happened again, and Tian Chenzi could not find the place no matter what.
It was clearly there in his memory, but he couldn't find it, which was really strange.
The matter finally came to an end.
Although he did not find the answer, after experiencing these two strange things, Tian Chenzi also developed a sense of awe.
He said that human power is sometimes exhausted, but the power of heaven and earth is endless. Therefore, even if you reach the peak of the late Mahayana cultivation, you are not invincible. You should always maintain a sense of awe in order to continue to make progress.
It was precisely because of this experience that Tianchenzi's mentality changed, so his realm became increasingly refined, and he easily reached the peak of the late Mahayana period, even when he was going through tribulations without too much effort.
Unfortunately, in the end, he encountered a conspiracy by Xuan Zhenzi and others, and fell short of success and failed to ascend to the immortal world.
Of course, if Tianchenzi succeeds in ascension, there will be no Chen Hao.
Moreover, Tian Chenzi's state of mind was completely preserved along with her memory and passed on to Chen Hao.
Therefore, Chen Hao understood from the very beginning that he should be in awe of heaven and earth, but he could not completely comply with heaven and earth, because the practice of a monk itself was an act against heaven.
The catastrophes of heaven and earth are just a form of encountering difficulties while walking on the road against heaven.
Solving calamities and resolving difficulties when encountering them is just like using one's tactics in martial arts. This is the correct way for monks to practice.
Therefore, Chen Hao needs to refine some life-saving trump cards for himself. Once he encounters these dangers, he will not be helpless and have to wait for death.
Before Chen Hao went into seclusion, Zhou Yang specifically asked to see him.
Chen Hao met Zhou Yang and learned that Zhou Yang came to say goodbye to him, saying that he was going to go out and look for opportunities.
Chen Hao was a little surprised. Zhou Yang won first place in the Zhou family's selection competition just to enter the selection of the Dengli Sect. This was Zhou Yang's dream, so he gave up on it no matter how hard he said it.
Now that he has become a guest elder of the Dengli Sect, the Zhou family is even more popular among the peripheral forces. It is too easy for Zhou Yang to join the Dengli Sect. He can directly become a core disciple without having to say hello to him and receive the best treatment.
Zhou Yang explained the reason.
It turns out that when Zhou Yang was a child, he was engaged to the daughter of the head of the Yang family who was close to the Zhou family.
But not long after, the Yang family moved away from the Dengli Mountains, and they had little contact with the Zhou family since then.
Until not long ago, the daughter of the Yang family suddenly came to the Dengli Mountains, found the Zhou family, and proudly announced that she wanted to break off the engagement.
It turned out that the daughter of the Yang family was very talented. She passed the examination of a five-generation sect and became an official disciple. She was highly regarded. She also had a Taoist cultivator who was equally talented, had a bright future, and had an important status.
In this way, it is natural to look down on the children of Zhou Yang, a small family.
Although the two families had not been in contact for many years, their relationship was indifferent, and the engagement had long existed in name only, they had not publicly broken the engagement. Therefore, the daughter of the Yang family was worried that Zhou Yang would get entangled in the future, so she came to the Zhou family to break off the engagement.
The Zhou family was naturally furious, and Zhou Yang even angrily broke the engagement on the spot, and said harshly, "Thirty years to Hedong, thirty years to Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty." He made an appointment to fight with the daughter of the Yang family three years later.
Let's see who is better.
The daughter of the Yang family was naturally full of disdain, and threatened to beat Zhou Yang to pieces in three years, and then leave proudly.
After breaking off the engagement, Zhou Yang had no interest in joining the Dengli Sect. Anyway, he had Hua Jingyun, a peak fusion expert, to guide him. It would be different wherever he went, so he decided to go out and gain experience. After three years, he must defeat the daughter of the Yang family and avenge his shame.
