Xu Zhuang stood up, walked out of the cave, waved his sleeves, raised the bar, and walked slowly down the corridor.
There was no one in the hall, and Xu Zhuang was not surprised. There were several people temporarily living in Hanyuan Cave. Although they were acquainted with each other, they would not go to the hall to communicate with each other.
Xu Zhuang walked all the way out of Hanyuan Cave and saw Zhong Shenxiu standing on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. He looked far into the distance and sensed Xu Zhuang's aura. Then he turned around and called out with a smile: "Brother Xu."
After coming to Immortal Zhai, the three of them took a tour together in Weiyun Immortal City. However, they lost a little bit of vitality, so they changed their names.
Xu Zhuang raised his brows slightly and said with some surprise: "Brother Zhong's cultivation seems to have improved again. I'm afraid he is not far away from being promoted to the third level."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled lightly and said, "It's just a matter of accumulation."
Xu Zhuang did not comment, walked to the edge of the cliff, and asked: "Brother Cen's cave has been closed, why is there no one there?"
Zhong Shenxiu said: "I don't know where Brother Cen has gone, but I guess he is not a person who breaks his promise. We will wait for a while."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, and before chatting with Zhong Shenxiu for a few words, Cen Fenghong suddenly descended from the sky and shouted: "Brother Zhong, Brother Xu, you've been waiting for a long time."
Without waiting for the two to ask questions, Cen Fenghong took out two treasure bags and handed them into their hands respectively. He said with a smile: "After all, you can't lose etiquette when you come to visit. I took it upon myself to go to Linglong Pavilion and prepare a few copies of Zhi. present."
Not long ago, the three of them made an appointment with Changhua in Laixianzhai to visit Dinghu and attend a lecture at Guangcheng Dojo. Today is the day they agreed to leave.
Xu Zhuang took the treasure bag, took a look at it, pondered for a moment, and responded: "Brother Cen is interested, so I won't be polite."
Xu Zhuang was not ignorant of etiquette, but he originally wanted to use his own money as a gift, but he did not expect that Cen Fenghong would prepare one for the two of them. It was not too rare at all, and it did not undermine Cen Fenghong's good intentions. .
Zhong Shenxiu did not refuse and took the treasure bag and thanked him. Cen Fenghong just laughed and said, "Then we will leave immediately?"
Xu Zhuang and Zhong Shenxiu both said good things to each other, and the three of them took off in the wind and fled hand in hand.
——
The mountain is majestic, reaching straight into the sky. There is a lake on the top of the sky, which is inexhaustible in all four seasons, and the jade dragon vents. It is named: Dinghu Mountain.
In a simple palace in Dinghu Mountain, Chang Hua and Chang Xin were playing chess. Every time they made a move, there was sword energy and a long river surging.
Outside the chessboard between the two people, a dozen young Taoists in buns and robes sat around solemnly, watching in silence.
Although Dinghu Mountain is inherited from Guangcheng Zhenjun and has a gentle style, as a major sect of swordsmanship, it cannot lose its sharpness. Therefore, playing chess and swords has become the most popular method of contest and discussion in the mountain sect, as well as teaching and teaching. a form of.
Just when the two men were having fun killing each other and the disciples around them were holding their breath and concentrating, the sound of a bell suddenly came from outside, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Changhua had a gentle temper and didn't care. He calmly called a disciple and ordered him to go and understand the situation.
The disciple left in response to the call, and returned after a few breaths, respectfully reporting: "Master, the Taoist boy has come to hear that three Taoists from the sect came to visit today. They said they would visit the master and uncle."
"Three Taoists?" Changhua said with a hint of surprise on his face, "Could it be the three Taoists Zhong, Xu and Cen?"
"Oh?" Changxin perked up, and with a flick of his hand, he disrupted the chessboard and shouted, "Then we need to go quickly to greet him."
"..." Chang Hua pointed at Chang Xin, shook his head, stood up, and asked, "Where are the three fellow Taoists now?"
The disciple responded: "Tao Tongyan said that we will arrange to rest temporarily in the White Deer Hall."
Changhua nodded slightly and ordered to the left and right: "I have a distinguished guest coming to my door. This is the end of today's chess and sword discussion. Let's all leave."
All the disciples responded in unison and dispersed one after another. Changhua walked out of the palace. Changxin hurriedly followed and said with a smile: "Brother, please tell me the truth. Have you been impetuous recently? You are so eager to win." Sheng, you can kill me and defeat me step by step with just twenty or thirty moves, this is not in your temper."
Changhua answered the question: "You should also focus more on your practice. Our practice is to compete with ourselves. Don't think that outsiders are lifting you up, so you can be complacent."
Chang Xin shook his head and said: "I have never slacked off in my cultivation. It's just that my progress cannot be compared with that of my senior brother."
Does he know that this senior brother is the most secretive?
Changhua smiled faintly and didn't answer again. The two of them rode the wind across the mountains and came to a large hall. They walked in. Sure enough, a few people from Xuzhuang were drinking tea in the hall.
When the immortal concubine and the boy who were waiting on the side saw the two people entering the palace, they hurriedly saluted and said, "I've met my uncle."
Changhua nodded casually and walked into the hall, with a smile on his face and cupped his hands and said: "Several fellow Taoists have arrived as expected."
Seeing Changhua and Changxin coming to greet them, the three of them stood up to respond and offered Zhi gifts one by one.
Changhua looked apologetic and said: "When several Taoist friends come, they don't go to the ward first. I arrange a ceremony to welcome them from afar. It's only proper etiquette."
In fact, as soon as the three of them arrived at Dinghu Mountain, they were led to the White Deer Palace and treated with great care. It was not considered rude in any case. They all smiled and there was no need to make any further remarks.
Changxin shook his head and responded: "Fellow Taoist, you don't know. Jin Yuanzai, a true disciple of Taiyi Palace in the East Heaven Realm, came to visit Junior Brother Zhuo a few days ago. Junior Brother Zhuo arranged for him to come out three thousand miles away to meet him. The car, the fairy birds will ride with you..."
"Taiyi Palace in the East Heaven Realm?" As soon as these words came out, the three of them suddenly moved in their hearts. Cen Fenghong was the first to become interested and asked: "This sect's true inheritance also traveled to the Guangyuan Realm?"
If the Qingkong Realm and Guangyuan Realm are very close, Xuanhuang Realm is farther away from them, so the intersection is not as frequent as the Qingkong Realm and Guangyuan Realm.
The East Heaven Realm is actually further away from the Guangyuan Realm and has less communication. Especially for monks who have not yet become real people, it is completely mysterious.
However, due to his status, Cen Fenghong has always been well-informed and knows a lot about many secrets, and he is also more curious about the Eastern Heaven Realm.
"Exactly." Chang Xin responded: "The identities of these fellow Taoists are not inferior to that of Jin Yuan. If they have lost etiquette, doesn't it appear that my senior fellow apprentices are not treating them properly?"
Cen Fenghong laughed and said: "In this case, fellow Taoist monks should talk to fellow Taoist fellows Zhong Daoyou and Xu Daoyou. I can't take this seriously."
In fact, Cen Fenghong was not from a sect. He was a lay nephew of Taoist Jide, and because of this he was destined to worship under the disciple of Yuanshen Zhenren, a casual cultivator in Qingkong Realm. In Qingkong Realm, he may have a good status, but he is not the same as Taiyi of Dongtian Realm. Palace... is not a concept.
As far as he knew, Taiyi Palace in the East Heaven Realm could not be called a single family. It would be more appropriate to call it a dominant one.
Even the factions in Taiyi Palace may not be as powerful as the major factions in Qingkong Realm.
Zhong Shenxiu raised his brows slightly and responded slowly: "Fellow Taoist, you are just joking. We are just visiting for a private visit. How can we waste our time and mobilize people?"
"Since a few fellow Taoists have arrived, we won't say much more about this." Changhua stopped Changxin from talking and said with a smile: "Two days from now, the opening of the Zhenjun Taoist Hall will be. Before that, come to my temple. sit down?"
"Good." Several people responded and followed Changhua to the White Deer Hall. Outside the hall, there was a cloud chariot with two seats at the front and back. It was wide enough to accommodate more than ten people. In front of the chariot were two sacred white deers. Wait, stop in front of the temple and wait.
"In Dinghu Mountain, the disciples all rely on the mountain gate to restrict their flight, and cannot escape without authorization." Changhua said apologetically: "But the gate has prepared chariots for the distinguished guests. I hope a few fellow Taoists will not give up."
The few people followed the good example and boarded the cloud chariot accompanied by Changhua Changxin. The white deer cried softly, pulled up the chariot, and ran into the air.
Roaming in the clouds on the carriage was quite leisurely. A few people couldn't stop chatting. Cen Fenghong couldn't hold it back at first and asked Changxin: "Jin Yuan is visiting Dinghu Mountain. Could it be that he also wants to go to Guangcheng Taoist Temple?" Hearers?"
Chang Xin showed some self-respect on his face and responded: "If it's not unexpected, then it should be like this."
No wonder he is a little proud. In fact, looking at all the world, only Guangcheng Zhenjun can give lectures. Many experts from all walks of life have been taught by Guangcheng Zhenjun. It is indeed a unique treatment.
…
Bai Lian leaned down thousands of feet and hit the misty water. There were swords made of gold, jade, iron and wood, with long and thin square hooks and various styles sunk in the pool. There were about a hundred or ten handles. They were all cold and of good quality.
"Is this the Sword Washing Pool where Brother Zhuo practices?" A young Taoist wearing a golden crown, long-sleeved broad robes, and nine stars embroidered on it walked across the path under the guidance of Zhuo Hansheng, looked around, and saw in his eyes He showed admiration and said: "Brother Zhuo should have taken me to this place to see it. It is better than visiting any other scenery."
Zhuo Hansheng showed a faint smile on his face and said politely: "I don't want to live in a miserable place, but I want Brother Jin's taste."
Jin Yuanzai said: "Brother Zhuo is wrong, Jin is not a person with good clothes and good food."
Zhuo Hansheng smiled faintly and led him to sit down on the stone table in front of the pool. With a flick of his sleeves, two black and white clouds fell down and he said: "Brother Jin, let's talk about it?"
"Oh? I am indeed interested in playing sword and chess." Jin Yuanzai became interested, took the chess set, and shouted: "Brother Zhuo, please go first."
Zhuo Hansheng was good at everything and dropped a child at will, and Jin Yuan followed closely.
It was said that it was a game of swords and chess, but in fact it was just a move, and there was nothing mysterious about it. The two of them made moves very quickly, and they still had time to chat. Zhuo Hansheng suddenly asked: "Brother Jin just said that he went to Guangyuan to eliminate desires." In addition to hearing Zhenjun’s sermon, there is still a small thing to do, I wonder if Zhuo can help?”
Jin Yuan thought about it for a while, placed a piece on the chessboard, and then said casually: "Jin was entrusted by a senior to go on a date. He was just staying in the Guangyuan world temporarily, so he didn't need Brother Zhuo's help. "
"Oh?" Zhuo Hansheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is the senior master mentioned by Brother Jin the real Daji?"
Jin Yuan paused before making the move, smiled softly, and said without any surprise, "Yes, with Brother Zhuo's talent, Master Daji will definitely not miss it, but did Brother Zhuo reject the matter?"
Zhuo Hansheng said calmly: "I thought this kind of bet was boring, so I simply rejected it. I didn't expect to invite someone like Brother Jin."
Jin Yuanzai smiled and said: "No, no, although Jin felt the same way at first, but after personal contact, he realized that it was definitely not what you and I thought."
"Oh?" Zhuo Hansheng asked, "I would like to hear the details."
Jin Yuanzai said: "Among the helpers invited by Master Daji, there is one named Li Chengzhen. Do you know him?"
Zhuo Hansheng's eyebrows moved and he responded: "Li Chengzhen, I have heard of his name, but I have never seen him."
Jin Yuanzai nodded and said: "I have already met him once, and after just a few words of discussion, I know that this person is extremely high in humanity and must not be underestimated."
He dropped the ball and said with a smile: "In my opinion, Li Chengzhen is already very good, but I heard that Daji's opponent, the helpers he invited are also very powerful."
Zhuo Hansheng was moved in his heart and asked: "What's the origin?"
Jin Yuan Zai thought: "I heard that there was a man named Xu Zhuang who fought alone against four major sects and six true disciples in an immortal mansion in the Blue Sky Realm. He actually defeated them and won the throne from them. A fairy tale."
"Well, this person has become very famous recently. It turns out that this is the reason why he came to Guangyuan..." Zhuo Hansheng responded calmly, suddenly stopped talking, and thought inwardly: "Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Zhuang are traveling together. Could it be?"
Jin Yuan called out in doubt: "Brother Zhuo?"
Zhuo Hansheng held Yunzi with two fingers, tapped it gently on the chessboard, and suddenly asked: "Brother Jin, do you know if one of the helpers invited by Daji's enemy is called Zhong Shenxiu?"
"Yes, we were about to talk about this person." Jin Yuanzai raised his eyebrows and responded: "Although I have never heard of this person's reputation, Li Chengzhen once told me that this person is the one he should attend this appointment with. The reason is that after thinking about it, Ding is not an ordinary person."
"Why, Brother Zhuo knows something about this person?"
Zhuo Hansheng suddenly smiled, shook his head, and said: "This person's name is like thunder to everyone in Dinghu Mountain."
"For the past three hundred years, I in Dinghu Mountain have been inexplicably influenced by this person's name. The whole family is handsome, but in the eyes of the patriarch of the family, he is not as good as an outsider... To be honest, Zhuo was actually very dissatisfied in his heart."
Jin Yuan listened attentively, his eyes flashing involuntarily.
"However." Zhuo Hansheng suddenly lost his temper and said calmly: "Zhuo really took a look at this person, and then I realized that his reputation was not in vain."
"So, Brother Zhuo is even more interested in this person." Jin Yuanzai laughed and said, "That's it!"
Zhuo Hansheng frowned slightly and asked, "Why is Brother Jin laughing?"
"Brother Zhuo doesn't know anything. Jin came to Dinghu Mountain and Master Daji found Jin." Jin Yuanzai gently shook his hand, dropped a jade talisman, and said with a smile: "Master Daji told me that this It is an invitation reserved for the last helper.”
"Jin didn't know what it meant at first, but he told me that when the time comes, we will naturally know... I think this jade talisman must belong to brother Yu Zhuo."
Zhuo Hansheng was stunned for a moment, then took the jade talisman, and suddenly thought that when he rejected Master Daji in the past, he kept mumbling that he had already made up his mind that he would eventually agree to his invitation.
Zhuo Hansheng smiled hoarsely and replied: "That's it."
Yesterday I posted a discussion thread, but Qidian has blocked comments recently, so I still have to read them one by one in the background, abstract...
But thank you for your comments. I have seen them all.
