In early autumn, the forest is full of colors.
The Longji Rice Terraces are dyed golden all over the mountains and plains.
Under the blue sea and blue sky, the bright red Suaeda grass forms a red beach.
The magnificent mountains and rivers are like a poem and painting with thick ink and colorful colors.
The three Taoists, two men and one woman, kneeling in front of the red building in the inner courtyard of the Taoist Temple all looked sweaty.
You must know that the three of them are the leader of the Yellow Turban Sect and the masters of the left and right, and they are all trained to the level of real people. Logically speaking, they have been protected from cold and heat for a long time, and it is impossible to break out in a cold sweat.
The reason why they were like this was entirely because in front of them stood Zhong Liquan, who had his hair in a bun and a beard that was longer than his belly. He was holding a fan and had his breasts exposed.
The leader and high merit mentioned here do not refer to the cultivation level, but to the position.
Chen Yun stood on the right side of his mentor, looking at the three of them curiously.
The three of them had just introduced themselves, and he knew that the Taoist with a long face and a white beard in the middle was Zhang Cheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Sect and the self-proclaimed General of Heaven and the Great Master.
The other two Yellow Turbans teach left and right high skills.
The man's name was Zhou Zhixiang, who proclaimed himself Digong General and was a Taoist priest of the Chen Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
When Emperor Chen Xuan was in power, this person once taught the Taiping Jing to Emperor Xuan and the people, and he had a great reputation among the people.
The woman was the general You Gaogong who had been to Xigou City before, and was called Song Huayang.
Yes, it was the Taoist woman who once asked the famous poet Li Shangyin to write "Untitled".
Apart from not being familiar with Zhang Cheng, Chen Yun never thought that Zhou Zhixiang and Song Huayang, two famous Taoists in history, were both members of the Yellow Turban Sect.
Zhong Liquan looked at the three of them with a calm face, and his tone was also calm, "Do you really think that the Yellow Turban Sect thinks that my Taoist temple is easy to bully? First, Xigou City Canal Commander Lin Feiyun came to find trouble for my disciple, and then asked his senior brother Liu Gui Bai Qianfa, I don’t have to worry about these matters between the juniors. However, why would you take action against my disciple, Zhang Qing, the corpse-deciphering immortal in your sect? He is an immortal who has attained Taoism from a different sect? Your Yellow Turban Sect is so majestic!"
Zhang Cheng was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Master Zhengyang, calm down. Zhang really didn't know that Zhang Qing would do this. Since the three of us became immortals, we no longer care much about the affairs of the sect. We really have nothing to do with it." The three of us have nothing to do with each other!"
The first thing he did when he came up was to wipe out the three of them.
Zhou Zhixiang also begged bitterly: "Master Zhengyang, if I knew about this matter, I would definitely not let Lin Feiyun and Liu Guibai go. We really don't know about this matter."
Song Huayang also admitted his mistake directly and said: "Pindao knows that his discipline is not strict. I originally had a chance to find out about Lin Feiyun, but when I came to Xigou City last time, I happened to meet King Guan Zun, Pindao's newly enlightened mount. They were all taken away by him, I really don’t know what’s going on here.”
There is no way, Zhang Cheng, Zhou Zhixiang, and Song Huayang are all real people. They are only in the human immortal realm. They have not even reached the earth immortal. Zhong Liquan is a heavenly immortal who breaks the void. The gap between human immortals and heavenly immortals is greater than that between mortals and real people. The gap between them is much larger.
To put it simply, if Zhong Liquan wanted to kill the three of them, it would be like squeezing three ants to death.
Although immortals are not allowed to attack mortal beings at will, Zhang Cheng, Zhou Zhixiang and Song Huayang are not ordinary people, but truly enlightened immortals, so Zhong Liquan can certainly take action.
Chen Yun didn't expect that the tiger spirit he ate was actually Song Huayang's mount.
He couldn't help but look at this Kun Dao twice, and he could vaguely tell that this elderly Kun Dao was also a beauty when he was young. No wonder he was able to charm Li Shangyin.
Zhong Liquan was not polite to them, "Why don't you know if you say you don't know? If it weren't for my disciple's quick thinking, he would have died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Sect. Tell me, what should I do?"
Zhang Cheng had no choice but to say: "Pindao is willing to compensate the disciple."
Zhong Liquan snorted coldly, "Do you think my Taoist Temple is just like your Yellow Turban Sect, hiding evil and blackmailing people?"
Zhang Cheng really didn't know what to do, so he had to say: "Master Zhengyang, whatever you want us to do, we will definitely do it."
Zhong Liquan nodded with satisfaction, "I want you to do two things."
Zhang Chengdao: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhou Zhixiang and Song Huayang both pricked up their ears and listened.
"First, you are not strict in controlling your subordinates. Although you are not the main culprit, you are also guilty of side effects. I hope that after you return to the Yellow Turban Sect, you will face the wall and think about the past seventy-seven years." Zhong Liquan said a very strange thing. number.
Chen Yun was startled when he heard this. Others usually talk about round years in confinement, such as thirty years, fifty years, one hundred years, etc. How come the years mentioned by his mentor are both zero and round?
He carefully calculated the time. It was now 883, and seventy-seven years later it would be 960. That year seemed to be the time when the Song Dynasty was established...
Chen Yun seemed to have figured out something and couldn't help but glance at his mentor's profile.
Zhang Cheng hurriedly agreed: "I'll start thinking about my mistakes when I get back."
Zhong Liquan nodded slightly, "The second thing is, don't your Yellow Turban Sect have followers all over the world? I want you to send a message to the monks all over the world for me, saying that Chen Yun is my disciple of Zhong Liquan."
He didn't say what he said next, but anyone could understand what he meant. It was nothing more than a warning to the monks in the world not to touch his disciple Chen Yun rashly. Otherwise, Zhong Liquan might not trouble the monks who had not become immortals due to heaven's rules. But he will definitely settle the score with the monk's elder who has become an immortal.
Chen Yun didn't expect his mentor to think so highly of him, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Zhang Cheng didn't dare to refute Zhong Liquan's intention and agreed immediately, "Pindao will definitely spread this news all over the country. Thank you Master Zhengyang for not caring about it."
Zhou Zhixiang and Song Hua looked at Zhong Liquan with grateful faces. Of course they knew that Zhang Qing had been stuffed with a sea eye, and they also learned that Liu Guibai and Lin Feiyun were dead from the broken life cards of important members of the sect. , knowing that it was Chen Yun who did it, but they had no idea of revenge, they just wanted Zhong Liquan not to cause trouble.
This is the embodiment of strength!
Zhong Liquan ignored the three people and waved his hand: "Go back."
The three of them stood up, first apologized to Chen Yun, and then left respectfully.
You must know that the other three have cultivated to the realm of real people, and they actually apologized to a low-level mage like themselves?
This made Chen Yun secretly feel happy, thinking that it would be good to have a great backer like his mentor.
After the person left, Zhong Liquan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "I had a relationship with Zhang Jiaojian once. Now that the Yellow Turban Sect's luck has run out, his descendants are still trying to make trouble, so I just Let them live in seclusion for seventy-seven years to avoid joining the wrong camp and ending up with a different body and head. This is not just to vent your anger and use it for your own good. Can you understand that you are a teacher?"
Chen Yun nodded and said: "I understand, my mentor is a person who values love and justice."
Zhong Liquan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, old friend, I have made arrangements for you, and I have vented your anger. Let's go back to the room. I will take advantage of this free time to teach you the techniques." "
…
A month passed by in a flash.
During this period, Zhong Liquan spent a lot of time every day guiding Chen Yun in his practice.
This guidance is not only about cultivating inner elixirs, golden light, body protection spells, and the Ten Thunders of the Jade Pivot, but also includes a comprehensive series of mind cultivation, understanding of nature, etc.
Under the refining Qi Transformation Decoction and the careful guidance of his mentor, Chen Yun's cultivation and skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
He has used the protective spell with ease.
The vertical golden light is both a technique and a method. It is relatively difficult to learn, and it consumes a lot of money to use. Chen Yun can only use it reluctantly at the moment, and he can travel thousands of miles away in an instant before running out of energy.
As for the Ten Thunders of Yushu, which is more difficult to practice, he has not even seen the way yet. He can only use some of the minor thunder techniques recorded in it, such as palm thunder, small five thunder, etc.
Even though the palm thunder and the small five thunder are just minor techniques, in fact they are quite powerful.
Chen Yun had previously released a thunderbolt from his palm, which instantly shattered a mountain rock more than ten meters high. If it hit a person, it would probably kill him to pieces in an instant.
The key point is that this is not the greatest power of the palm thunder. According to Zhong Liquan, if the palm thunder is practiced to a high level, even immortals will have to avoid its edge.
On this day, it was sunny outside.
Chen Yun, who was sitting on a stool outside with his eyes closed to appreciate the changes in nature, suddenly heard his mentor's voice.
"Chongyong, I have to go out for a few days as a teacher. You should meditate and practice in the Taoist temple. Don't go out and cause trouble."
Chen Yun quickly opened his eyes, stood up and saluted: "Disciple, I sincerely follow the holy precepts of my teacher."
Zhong Liquan looked at him with a half-smile, "Of course, you can go out if you want, but I may put you in solitary confinement after you come back."
Chen Yun said hurriedly: "This disciple will definitely not run around."
Zhong Liquan said nothing more and left in the clouds, probably to meet friends again.
Watching his mentor leave, Chen Yunxin said that if nothing happened, I would definitely not go out to cause trouble.
But he always felt that his mentor's words seemed to have some profound meaning, as if he had calculated something.
Chen Yun has not learned the art of calculation, so he naturally does not know what will happen in the future.
That is a relatively advanced technique, and he is not yet sufficiently skilled to learn it.
Although he didn't understand why his mentor deliberately reminded him, Chen Yun once again sat down and quietly understood the way of natural change.
I don’t know if it was affected by my mentor’s words just now.
This time, Chen Yun had distracting thoughts in his mind after sitting down, and could not calm down to comprehend.
He was thinking that after he learned the ground-moving golden light, the protective spell, several minor techniques in the thunder method, and Ziwei Tao, he had not yet had a chance to try out the true power of these techniques.
"It would be nice if there was someone for me to test my strength with."
Chen Yun blinked and thought.
But then he shook his head. He had no grievances with others recently. Where could he come from to test his strength?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Si suddenly hurried from the outside to the door of the inner courtyard, and then called softly, "Senior Brother Chen, are you free here?"
Chen Yun opened his eyes again and found that Li Si was not wearing a Taoist robe. He was startled and said, "I'm free, what's wrong?"
Li Si pointed to the door, "Someone is looking for you."
"Who is looking for me?" Chen Yun asked as he walked out: "Also, Senior Brother Li, did you go down the mountain to Xigou City today? Why are you not wearing a Taoist robe?"
"Oh, the man outside the door claimed to be Ma Qin, the general of the Tang Shence Army." Li Si was one step behind Chen Yun and said with a smile, "As for the fact that I'm not wearing a Taoist robe, it's because I'm going down the mountain to go back to my hometown today."
Hearing this, Chen Yun suddenly stopped and looked sideways, "Are you going down the mountain?"
Li Si said with some sadness: "Yes, after five years, it's time to go down the mountain and leave here."
Chen Yun looked at him with some reluctance, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? So that I could practice it for you."
Li Si was a relatively honest person. He smiled and said: "You were busy practicing with the ancestor a while ago, and I really couldn't bear to disturb you. As for the other people, I don't have such a good relationship with them, so I didn't hold a farewell banquet like Senior Brother Zhang did. So as not to add to the sentimentality.”
Chen Yun asked: "Where do you want to go after you come down from the mountain? How will you make a living in the future?"
Li Si took a deep breath and said, "My hometown is in Xiangcheng, Chenzhou. As for how to make a living, I don't have any ambitions. Senior Brother Wang Laozhi gave me fifty taels of silver, plus the two or three hundred taels of silver that I have saved over the years." , I should be able to buy about ten acres of fertile land and live out the rest of my life as a rich country man."
Chen Yun thought for a while and said, "Let me give you a few talismans. If you encounter special circumstances in the future, you can use the talismans to tide over the difficulties."
Li Si burst into tears and said, "Thank you, senior brother, but you should go out and see General Ma Qin first. He has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Let him wait slowly. Drawing the talisman on you is more important than anything else."
Chen Yun only has two and a half friends in this world, one is Zhang Qian, the other is Li Si, and the other half is Lin Chen.
Now that he has settled Zhang Qian and Lin Chen, he must also settle Li Si.
As for the Yin Shen cultivation method, he thought about it but still wasn't ready to pass it on to Li Si.
What the other party expressed was very clear. He just wanted to live peacefully and be a rich man for the rest of his life.
Why should he teach the Yinshen method and cause trouble to the other party?
After all, if you become a monk, the danger is far greater than that of ordinary people.
Chen Yun did not immediately attend to Ma Qin who was waiting outside the mountain gate. Instead, he went to the Talisman Making Hall to borrow yellow paper and ink, and drew more than a dozen talismans for Li Si in one breath.
Now that his cultivation level has greatly increased, making more than a dozen talismans did not consume much energy at all.
After drawing the talisman, Chen Yun personally presented it to Li Si who was carrying the baggage. He held his hands and said, "Senior Brother Li, I don't know when we will see each other again after we say goodbye. I hope you will cherish it!"
Li Sifeng held Chen Yun's hand, his eyes filled with tears, "Senior Brother Chen, so are you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the mountain gate for fear of adding any more sadness to the farewell.
Chen Yun could clearly see that the moment Li Si turned his head, a drop of crystal tears fell from his eyes.
Obviously, although Li Si repeatedly expressed that he did not want to add to the sadness of parting, he was really reluctant to leave the Taoist Temple and Chen Yun.
This made Chen Yun feel a little stuck. His friends left one after another, and he seemed to be a loner.
Although he was very sad inside, he thought that Ma Qin was still waiting outside, so he walked towards the mountain gate.
After a while, Chen Yun saw Ma Qin, who looked tired and was holding the reins to lead the horse.
As soon as Ma Qin saw him, he quickly saluted and said, "Ma Qin has met Chen Xianchang."
Chen Yun looked at him curiously, "General Ma, why do you look tired? Is this caused by not sleeping well for a long time?"
Ma Qin said with a wry smile: "I came here from Xiangcheng and haven't slept well for more than a month."
Um?
Xiang Cheng?
Chen Yun suddenly recalled that Li Si's hometown was over there, he frowned and said, "Xiang Cheng?"
Ma Qin said: "Yes, the Huangchao bandit general Meng Kai led his army to attack Xiangcheng. There was also a demon Dao who helped to set up formations. The soldiers and people in the city were all trapped for a month or two. I still want to The purpose of using all means to break out is that General Zhang Chengfan asked me to ask Chen Xianchang to help our army and break the evil formation."
What?
Is there a war going on in Xiangcheng?
Chen Yun suddenly thought that Li Si was rushing to Xiangcheng. If there was a war, he might not even return to his hometown, but he might also be harmed by the war. He was really worried about Li Si's safety and asked hurriedly, "Is the war in Xiangcheng serious? "
Ma Qin nodded vigorously and said: "The grass thieves have already killed the red eyes at this time. Whether it is the caravan passing by Xiangcheng or the hungry people in the city who really can't stand it, anyone who dares to appear in front of them will be killed directly. They were chopped alive, but our army was blocked by the evil formation. If things continue like this, the tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people in the city will all starve to death. Therefore, I have the courage to ask Chen Xianzhang to come out of the mountain. Help me.”
To be honest, my mentor just told me not to run around during this period.
Logically speaking, Chen Yun should listen to his mentor.
But after listening to what Ma Qin said, he thought about what he should do if Li Si was harmed by war after returning to his hometown?
Furthermore, even if Li Si's life was not in any danger due to the war, how would he be sad when he returned to his hometown and found that his family had starved to death because of the siege by Huang Chao's army?
Another point is that he himself owed favors to Zhang Chengfan, Wang Shihui, and Zhao Ke. Now that they came to him, they obviously wanted him to return the favor.
As a man, a promise is worth a thousand dollars.
He must return this favor.
These thoughts flashed through Chen Yun's mind.
He knew that he might have to help out on this trip.
Although he would be imprisoned if he came back if he didn't obey his mentor, Chen Yun couldn't control that much now.
He must let Li Si return to his hometown safely to see his living relatives and friends.
At the same time, we must also repay the favors owed to Zhang Chengfan, Wang Shihui and others.
Chen Yun took a deep breath and thought to himself, let's go down the mountain to test his strength.
But before that, he had to ask Ma Qin how the Demon Dao in Huang Chao's army performed, and whether he could really defeat him. If the opponent performed very fiercely and the gap between him and the opponent was too big, then there was no need to go Die.
