The years in the mountains are always like running water, and early spring is approaching before you know it, and this is the third year that Xu Zhuang has returned to his sect from the Tianpu Realm.
After Xu Zhuang granted the Taoist soldiers to the Chen family, Xu Shi saw that under the protection of the Taisu Taoist soldiers, the Chen family's Yuyang spiritual veins were not disturbed again by the Yang family of Tianhuo.
Perhaps invisible, the Sky Fire Sect still restrained from formal conflict with Tai Su.
After that, the Chen family registered many of their independent properties with the sect. When they obtained the protection of the sect, they naturally had to hand over the harvest to the sect. To the Chen family, this was not actually a big deal. Go to law.
Therefore, Chen's choice was not to register all the industries outside the family, but to shrink his power and try his best to protect the main industries that the family valued. The conflict with the Yang family only intensified.
But in this case, it has nothing to do with Xu Zhuang. He knew that Yang Huaizun harbored a grudge against him to kill his son. If Yang Huaizun really found Xu Zhuang's head, Xu Zhuang would not hesitate to settle the cause with him.
But he had no interest in getting Xu Zhuang involved in the feud between the Chen and Yang families.
So in the past three years, Xu Zhuang began to live in seclusion and concentrate on practicing Taoism.
Although he was involved in the affairs of the Shangshi Hall, he usually had the Three-Yuan Dharmakaya to do the work for him, and he did not have to do everything himself. Apart from occasionally going to the Shangshi Hall to participate in the agenda, it was his long-lost leisure time.
However, Xu Zhuang did not slack off because of this. In just three years, all Taoist methods have improved further, especially the Five Elements Yuanhe Jue, which is the fourth true method selected by Xu Zhuang. After majoring in it, he has gradually caught up with the progress.
The Five Elements Dao is the fundamental Dao of Taoism. The improvement of the Five Elements Yuanhe Jue has naturally benefited Xu Zhuang a lot. Not only has his merit increased, but his own Taisu Taoism has also benefited. This is the Dao of Taoism. It is the stone from other mountains that makes people understand the beauty of things by analogy.
However, as he refined the Five Elements Yuan He Jue, Xu Zhuang also felt that he was far away from achieving the third level and the Yuanying.
Of course, this was what Xu Zhuang had expected. Although the Five Elements Combination Jue was not as complementary as the three true traditions of Taisu, it laid an extremely deep foundation for Xu Zhuang to improve his practice all the time. His foundation has been strengthened again.
This improvement has raised the upper limit of the perfection of Xuan Gong. This is something that many Nascent Soul monks can only ask for. Xu Zhuang can do it just by practicing the Kung Fu, so how can he not distinguish good from evil.
Now that he has chosen this path, Xu Zhuang is naturally prepared to delay the opportunity for perfection, otherwise he would not still choose to practice other true methods after possessing the three true traditions.
In addition, Xu Zhuang's own Tai Su Taoist skills and divine channel skills will naturally not fall behind. In fact, not to mention three years, even ten years of retreat practice, Xu Zhuang's practice may not easily fall into a bottleneck, so he I also enjoy it and hope to continue practicing like this for a long time.
However, on this day, a page from the Chongyun Peak flew out of the sky and fell into the cave's confinement.
Xue Yuren came after hearing the sound, took out the letter and glanced at the cover page, and saw that the name on it was the seal of the true disciple Sun Suzhen. She thought for a few seconds with an expressionless face and then sent it to the quiet room in the mansion.
Xu Zhuang was also a little surprised when he received Sun Suzhen's letter. Not only because of him, thirteen generations of true disciples have refined high-grade golden elixirs. In recent years, Sun Suzhen and Bu Jianshi have been practicing with great concentration in order to obtain the Nascent Soul, so they interact with each other. There is not much contact between them.
Taking out the letter paper, Xu Zhuang read it carefully and narrowed his eyes slightly. Sun Suzhen did bring him some interesting news. If he was interested in understanding it, he could come to his house to discuss it in detail.
After pondering for a while, Xu Zhuang put away the letter, stood up and left the quiet room.
Xue Yuren was still waiting outside, so he called her to fetch two Zhi gifts from the treasury and brought them with her. Then she left the cave and escaped into the clouds.
Xu Zhuang was already familiar with the road to Suzhen Peak. He flew in the wind for a few breaths and arrived at the top of Suzhen Peak. As expected, he saw that the door of Sun Suzhen's palace was wide open, but no one was waiting outside, and Xu Zhuang did not greet him politely. Turning into a ray of rainbow light, he fled into the palace, passed through the halls and came to the hall where Sun Suzhen always entertained guests.
As expected, Sun Suzhen was already in the hall. Besides him, there was also a young Taoist priest wearing a crown and a bun. He was not an unfamiliar face, but he was Sun Suzhen's best friend, Yue Junyang.
The two of them were drinking tea when they suddenly saw a rainbow light burst into the hall, spreading the light. Xu Zhuang stepped out of it without any surprise. He stood up one after another and greeted him with a smile: "Junior Brother Xu, you are here."
"Senior Brother Sun." Xu Zhuang responded, took out the Zhi gift from his sleeve and presented it, and then said to Yuejun: "I didn't expect that Senior Brother has also refined the Nascent Soul, but he didn't prepare the congratulatory gift. Senior Brother, don't be surprised."
Yue Junyang waved his hand and said: "It took five hundred years of practicing Taoism for my brother to refine him into the first level of Nascent Soul. How worthy of congratulations."
Sun Suzhen pretended to be confused and said, "Are you two trying to seduce me?"
Xu Zhuang, Yue and Jun Yang both laughed when they heard this, and the three of them sat down. Xu Zhuang joked again: "Senior Brother Sun, I met my nephew the other day. Her merits are not superficial. I heard that she is now a member of the imperial family." I went to Dongzhen Hall to practice..."
"Okay, okay." Sun Suzhen said angrily: "I have reached the critical moment. I can't really embarrass myself with our twelve generations of true inheritance."
The three of them laughed and reminisced for a while. After Sun Suzhen called them to drink tea, they got down to business and said, "Senior Brother Yue was talking to me today. When it came to the emergence of the Demon Sect, he talked about several suspected demons recently. There are traces of the disciples of Menzhen, and I feel that one of them and my junior brother are somewhat consistent with the woman I asked about, but it is difficult to confirm, so I wrote to my junior brother."
Xu Zhuang narrowed his eyes. Who else could the girl from the Demon Sect he had mentioned to Sun Suzhen be? Naturally, it was the demon girl Shi Shi who had a grudge against him.
Sun Suzhen was good at dancing and well-informed. Xu Zhuang once asked him about Shi Shi's origins. However, the Demon Sect had been lurking for a long time. Sun Suzhen did not know much about it. But now that there was news, he remembered the matter and sent a special letter to him. Xuzhuang.
Xu Zhuang nodded and asked: "Where is the trace of the Demon Sect monk? If you have specific information, can you tell me in detail?"
Sun Suzhen responded: "I only found out about this matter after Senior Brother Yue told me about it. I would like to ask Senior Brother Yue to explain it to you in detail."
Xu Zhuang cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, please teach me."
Yue Junyang shook his head and responded: "Junior brother, you're welcome. Those Demon Sect monks were traced in the mountains, and I don't know if they had any agenda. They have been there for a long time and have committed many murders. , causing the scattered monks practicing in the mountains to feel in danger."
"Mangshan?" Xu Zhuang nodded thoughtfully. In fact, the so-called Mangshan is not a specific mountain range, but an endless group of mountains in the northwest of China, stretching from Beimingzhou in the north to Jianxia Mountain in the west. Millions of miles away, even the mountain gates of Shaoyang Sect and Tianhuo Sect can be said to be within the scope of Mangshan, but they are not close to each other.
In such a vast world, there are naturally many blessed places in Lingshan, and there is also no shortage of geniuses and treasures. Therefore, there are many small sects with scattered monks located among them. I just don’t know what the plans of the Demon Sect monks are when they go to this world? Could it be that he was practicing magic for killing people?
"That's right." Yue Junyang said: "There is a hermit in the mountains, called Venerable Goumang, who is a relative of my Yue family. He opened a small dojo in the mountains to practice, and he has experienced that The Demon Sect monks were so cruel that they felt themselves in danger and asked my Yue clan for help, so I was able to find out about this."
Sun Suzhen asked at this time: "Didn't Senior Brother Yue once say that he wanted to fight against the Demon Sect monks, but he went to Mangshan?"
Yue Junyang knew that he was asking about Yue Junlan, so he shook his head and said: "Junlan was summoned by the ancestor to practice in the cave and has not yet come out."
Xu Zhuang and Sun Suzhen were both moved in their hearts. Although the real people in our sect, except for the real person in charge of the teaching, are used to seeing dragons without seeing the end, the reputation they once left in the sect will not be completely worn away by time, so there have been rumors. , the Yue clan is still alive and taking care of the real person Yuanshen, which is why the Yue clan is now very prosperous among the twelve wealthy families.
Now Yue Junyang's words can be said to confirm this rumor. After all, except for Yue Junlan, I have not heard of any true disciples who were summoned by the ancestor to practice in the cave... Perhaps the rumor is that Fei Fanyan was personally passed down by the master Yuanshen. That’s how it is.
Yue Junyang didn't talk much about this matter, and continued: "This is the image sent by Venerable Jumang. Junior brother, can you see if there are any enemies of you?" He took out a small jade plate from his sleeve and put it on the table. Put it on top and drop it a little.
On the jade plate, a majestic man with red hair and a shawl suddenly appeared, looking like a hawk and a wolf. Through the image, he seemed to feel an alarming evil aura.
Is this the true disciple of the Demon Sect? I don’t know which family it is?
According to records in the Taisu Sect, when demons flourished in Shenzhou, there were eight major demon sects. Later, only five remained. Except for the Yinji Sect, which has gone to the Western Continent, and the White Bone Sect, which has now appeared in the world, the remaining three sects are called: Innate Demon Sect. Sect, Demonic Intention Sect, Manifestation Sect, all have a long history and should not be underestimated.
While Xu Zhuang was thinking about it, the image of the jade plate changed and turned into a young Taoist priest with sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with jade trees facing the wind. Rather than being said to be a monk from the Demon Sect, he seemed to have a pure Taoist spirit.
Xu Zhuang remembered the appearance of these two people in his heart. The next moment, the image of the jade plate changed again, turning into a woman with black hair like a waterfall and a white gauze covering her face. Only a pair of complaining eyes were revealed. Who is the witch Shi Shi?
As soon as he saw the image of this woman, a cold light suddenly flashed in Xu Zhuang's eyes. After writing down the appearance of a gray-bearded middle-aged Taoist on the jade plate, he asked Yue Junyang: "I don't know the specific location of Venerable Gou Mang's dojo. Where is it convenient for my little brother to visit?"
Yue Junyang frowned and said: "I can tell my junior brother the location of Venerable Jumang's dojo, but my junior brother...could he be going to Mangshan to seek revenge?"
Xu Zhuang smiled slightly. Although he was not a person who always wanted to retaliate, he did not have the habit of being depressed and silent.
His grudge with the witch was one of the few times he had ever suffered a bad loss since he refined the golden elixir. If he had the chance to settle it, he would not let it go.
Moreover, he also had some questions regarding the "Yuan Zun Preaching Demon Refining Scripture". He would not hesitate to interrogate this witch if he could.
What's more, the birth of the Demon Sect is imminent, and there will inevitably be collisions between the mysterious demons in the future. He also has the idea of fighting with the true disciples of the Demon Sect before this to test the Magic Sect's magical powers.
Xu Zhuang was not one to mince words, and he responded straightforwardly: "I do think so."
Yue Junyang frowned and said: "Junior brother, I know that you are very powerful in Taoism, but the methods of those Demon Sect monks are not ordinary, and there are many people. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to go alone to seek revenge."
Xu Zhuang knew that they were also interested in each other, and did not want to argue. He only said: "Thank you for your concern, senior brother, but I am mainly here to investigate and see what the plans of those Demon Sect monks are. Other than that, I am just looking for opportunities." Hatred, if you can't do anything, you won't be brave."
Hearing this, Yue Junyang breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "Since my junior brother knows what's going on, I can give you the location and information."
He took out a roll of maps, drew a mark on it, and said: "I have a disciple of the Yue clan who went ahead to investigate the situation. If my junior brother needs help, you can go to him and other helpers."
"Good." Xu Zhuang bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
———
After leaving Sun Suzhen's place, Xu Zhuang did not leave in a hurry. He pondered for a while, then raised his head slightly into the air. Two spiritual lights containing divine thoughts flew out of the air, and then flew away separately.
After returning to Chongyun Peak, Xu Zhuang did not go to the mansion. He closed his eyes and rested his mind. After about an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the sky.
I saw a ray of sword light cutting through the sky from far to near, leaving a very long neon tail. In an instant, it reached the top of Chongyun Peak and did not stop. It hit Xu Zhuang and disappeared without a trace, except for his waist. There is an extra vermilion gourd.
This is when Xu Zhuang recalled the Dharmakaya who went to Zhuojie Mountain to practice swordsmanship.
He has now conquered the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword and refined all the treasures, but it will take a long time to develop the sword skills of human sword and psychic transformation with it.
Moreover, the several sword formations that Xu Zhuang learned in Langhuan Tower also needed to be practiced and tried, so he separated this dharma body and went to Zhuojie Mountain.
However, Xu Zhuang went to Mangshan this time to seek revenge. It was a real life and death fight, and not only was the opponent most likely to be a true descendant of the Demon Sect, but the number of people was unknown.
Who knows if the images transmitted by Yue Junyang are all of them. In short, he is not alone, so Xu Zhuang must be fully prepared, so he needs to take back all the magic bodies and magic weapons.
After taking back the dharma body and the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword, another half an hour passed before I saw a ray of light returning through the sky. The dharma body that Xu Zhuang had left in the Jade Cauldron Palace finally returned.
The reason why he arrived later than Fa Shen, who was practicing swordsmanship in Zhuojie Mountain, was because he was ordered to cook and explain things to Yun Hengshi.
In fact, Xu Zhuang didn't value the authority of the Jade Cauldron Palace very much, and he had no intention of seeking benefits.
As long as Yun Hengshi didn't play tricks with him, he had no intention of taking the power of the Jade Cauldron Palace into his hands. Therefore, in the past three years, he and Yun Hengshi got along very well, at least they were harmonious.
Yun Hengshi heard that Xu Zhuang had something to do and left the mountain, and that he might need to temporarily hand over the affairs of the palace to him, so he readily agreed, and Xu Zhuang was able to escape.
When the two dharma bodies returned, Xu Zhuang's body shook slightly, and the three elements reacted wonderfully, creating each other instantly. The mana consumed while the dharma bodies were outside began to recover rapidly.
Although Xu Zhuang did not have much time to practice in seclusion since he cultivated the Three-Yuan Elephant Body, his Three-Yuan Mana has still returned to the level of the seventh level when it was perfected, almost more than double what it was before.
In the blink of an eye, even if there was a lot of spiritual energy in the Taisu Sect, all the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles was drained away, instantly causing drastic changes in the sky, wind and clouds gathering, causing roaring thunder.
"This is a violation of the agreement with the Tianxiang Palace." A thought flashed through Xu Zhuang's mind, and then he let out a loud roar, pulled up a sky-shaking rainbow light, and suddenly crashed into the wind and clouds, causing a rumble and disappearing in an instant. Skyrim.
