In the minds of many disciples of the Qingyang Sect, Qingyangzi's status is absolutely transcendent. They admire Qingyangzi, and they also feel that this Donglai Peak is special.
Donglai Peak is transcended from other peaks, quiet and mysterious. It complements the various rumors of Qingyangzi and makes people look up to it.
In fact, regardless of the relationship between Qingyangzi and Qingyang Clan, or should I say with the head of Qingyang Clan, they all need to maintain the image of Qingyangzi, whether for themselves or for the sect. , only that is in their best interest.
As long as Qingyangzi lives alone and is not visible, as long as Donglai Peak is always isolated, they are not worried about any changes in the legend of Qingyangzi.
But Zhong Ding, who had been maintaining this situation, sent four servants to Donglai Peak.
This approach did not obtain Qingyangzi's consent at the beginning, and Qingyangzi had not even heard of it.
This is undoubtedly a case of killing first and showing later.
From the moment they were sent to Donglai Peak, they were destined to never go down the mountain so easily again.
In such a large Qingyang Gate, no matter how nice some superficial words are, some dirty things still cannot be concealed.
Qingyangzi would eventually choose to keep these four people for this reason, in addition to two other considerations.
Qingyangzi knew the reason why these four people were sent to Donglai Peak.
As long as Zhong Ding doesn't get the first three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue, as long as Zhong Ding doesn't figure out what Gu Chen got when he realized the stone, he will never give up.
It's just that Gu Chen is always under the protection of Qingyangzi. Even though as the head of Qingyang Sect, Zhong Ding is all-pervasive, but he can't do anything to him.
The four servants who were sent were said to be driven by Qingyangzi, which may not mean that they were under surveillance.
Qingyangzi finally chose to accept it, just to let Zhong Ding calm down for a while.
It's just that these four people may not know their situation yet, or that they are just used as disposable pawns by Zhong Ding.
This is one consideration, and the other consideration is about Gu Chen and Liu Zhen.
Qingyangzi was used to being a wild crane, so sleeping in the open air was normal for him, but that was not the case for Gu Chen and Liu Zhen.
Even though they have extraordinary qualifications and a firm determination to seek the truth, the two of them are only teenagers after all. It is impossible for them to live a life full of twilight by themselves so early.
Immortal cultivators are also cultivating their minds, but cultivating their minds does not mean turning their minds into a pool of stagnant water and gloomy spirits.
Sometimes seeing all things blooming with vitality and raging fire dyeing half of the sky red may not be a mental difficulty, but it makes progress again and again.
Out of consideration for these two people, Qingyangzi accepted these four people. Whether the young people are close or close, distant or hostile, fighting or fighting, it is an experience and a kind of tempering.
Gu Chen and Liu Zhen came over.
When He Jietong saw Liu Zhen, he smiled and glanced at Gu Chen, but then turned his attention to Liu Zhen again.
He really wanted to ask Liu Zhen how he was enjoying his time here, how his practice was, and whether he had fully learned the first three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue.
However, since Qingyangzi was nearby, he did not dare to say any more intimate words, and only made a brief introduction to both parties.
Luo Cheng and the others naturally recognized Liu Zhen, but Liu Zhen did not necessarily recognize them.
For all Shanmen disciples, Liu Zhen is a symbol and a legend.
Liu Tangtang was especially excited. She suddenly noticed that her surname was the same as Liu Zhen's, and she also found that when He Jietong introduced her to Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen's eyes stayed on her for a while longer, although they were still calm.
Liu Tangtang felt a little shy, he didn't dare to meet Liu Zhen's gaze, but he was unwilling to look away just like that.
"You should have heard of this, he is the adopted son of Elder Qingyangzi, Senior Brother Gu Chengu."
Like Liu Zhen, He Jietong called Gu Chen his senior brother, but this time, Gu Chen didn't say much.
"What?"
"Are you Gu Chen!?"
Chen Yong and Ma Biao suddenly screamed strangely. Their voices were an octave higher and seemed a bit sharp.
Without warning, the two of them greeted Gu Chen with their fists, one on the left and the other on the right.
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, not sure why, but he was not slow at all in responding.
Moving his right foot back and leaning his body backward, Gu Chen was about to avoid it.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of him.
Gu Chen paused and stopped in place, seemingly motionless.
In front of him was Liu Zhen, who leaned forward, stretched out his hands, grabbed the fists of Chen Yong and Ma Biao, and threw them away with a flick.
Although Chen Yong and Ma Biao were tall and powerful, and they punched with all their strength, they didn't even have the cultivation level of the Refining Realm. Naturally, they couldn't resist Liu Zhen. They were thrown away by his slight throw. Throw it far away and throw up dust all over the ground.
Gu Chen looked at Liu Zhen, his eyebrows slightly raised, and then looked at the two people who fell on the ground, seeming to understand something.
He Jietong was shocked and quickly looked at Qingyangzi's expression.
But he saw Qingyangzi's expression was calm and unmoved.
He Jietong quickly scolded: "What are you two doing? This is Donglai Peak! Do you think we are still in front of the main peak mountain gate, and you can do whatever you want? Do you not want to stay anymore!?"
Chen Yong and Ma Biao were also hot-blooded. They were so angry that they fainted and were knocked awake by Liu Zhen. They looked at Qingyangzi with some flinching, but their voices were still full of resentment. , pointed at Gu Chen and said: "That's him! It's because of him that we lost the chance to learn about the stone. It was all because of him!"
The four of them have been disciples at the Qingyang Gate for a year, with the intention of joining the Immortal Gate. However, their qualifications are not very good, and they are not confident that they can win the attention of their teachers.
They knew this very well, so they placed all their hopes on the Jingzhe Enlightenment Stone. However, they did not expect that Gu Chen's sudden appearance ruined their chances.
Things happened for a reason, and He Jietong didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to look at Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen shook his head and said, "Even if you were asked to learn about stones, would you be able to figure out anything?"
Chen Yong was startled and lowered his voice: "That's our chance..."
"The opportunity is lost from your own hands and has nothing to do with Senior Brother Gu Chen." Liu Zhen's tone was cold and tough, "Everyone is treated equally when it comes to Wu Shi. Everyone has a chance. The same is true for Senior Brother Gu Chen. It's just you. You were hesitant and didn’t have the guts to step forward at the beginning. After the opportunity was lost, you would only blame everyone here and have the nerve to say that this is your own opportunity?”
"I..." Chen Yong opened his mouth to argue, but was interrupted again by Liu Zhen.
"If you don't advance, you will retreat. What if I give you two or three more chances? How much stronger can you be than others?"
Chen Yong was speechless.
He Jietong quickly smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, Senior Brother Liu, they also have too much expectations and can't control their emotions for a while. Just explain it to them clearly. Now they choose to stay in Qingyang Gate and come to the east with you." On the peak, we will be our own people from now on."
Liu Zhen was startled, took a deep look at He Jietong, and said nothing more.
Chen Yong and Ma Biao finally came to their senses and quickly knelt down to Qing Yangzi.
"Elder, please forgive me!!"
“Please elders don’t expel us!!”
The two of them were very worried. Qingyangzi had no intention of accepting them in the first place, and if they got into trouble on impulse, they were afraid that Qingyangzi would use this excuse to drive them down the mountain.
Qingyangzi had been watching with cold eyes. At this time, he waved his hand and said, "Just let's talk things over. Donglai Peak is an isolated peak that can only be used to keep people. It doesn't have as many rules as the main peak. I won't do it because of you." If you do something wrong, I will drive you down the mountain. There is nothing special here. It has nothing to do with whether it is the main peak or not. It only has to do with how you behave."
He Jietong's heart skipped a beat, knowing that what he just said was also a faux pas, fearing that Qingyangzi would be dissatisfied.
Qingyangzi waved his hand and said calmly: "You and Liu Zhen know each other. Now he is practicing at Donglai Peak. You should have seen each other less during this time. You should have a lot to say when you come here. Go and talk. Bar."
He Jietong quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, elder."
Walking away with Liu Zhen, He Jietong was confused. Did Qingyangzi see something when he said this, or did he see nothing at all?
