Two days later.
Rongguo, Wuchuan Prefecture.
A group of knights with black armor and black horses galloped down the official road, guarding a coffin in the middle.
This cavalry team had neat banners and bright armor. Even though they galloped for dozens of miles under the sun, neither the men nor the horses showed any signs of fatigue. It was obvious at a glance that they were well-trained and fierce warriors.
"I have long heard that the Taoist soldiers newly cultivated by the Spirit-raising House are very extraordinary. When I saw them today, it was indeed true. Junior brother, look carefully at the movements of their spines when exerting force. They are like white toads holding their Qi, curling their heads to build their belly. , if an ordinary martial artist were like this, he would already have bruises on his body."
Behind this group of Taoist knights, there were two white horses standing alone, but they followed slowly.
The two people on the white horses, one wearing a blue Taoist robe and carrying a sword behind his back, were pointing at the Taoist soldiers in front of him and explaining to his companions with great interest.
The other man holds Zhang Liushi's cinnabar lacquer bow in his left hand, a horse rein in his right hand, and a sword hanging at his waist. He is wearing a black water cloud robe and a leather belt, which makes his slender figure look more handsome. At a glance, he can tell that he is from a high-ranking family. Developed tolerance.
Chen Heng, who was holding a big bow in his left hand, nodded lightly.
He glanced at the Tao soldiers in the direction of Xu Zhi's finger, absentmindedly.
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you? You finally got down the mountain. Shouldn't you be happy?"
Xu Zhi scratched his head and said: "I see that you have been worried and uneasy since you came down the mountain. What's wrong? Are you worried that Elder Yan will cause trouble for you? Don't worry, your coming down the mountain was personally approved by the leader of the sect. Yes, he doesn’t have the guts to deliberately openly oppose the faction leader.”
"I'm not only worried about Yan Feichen, but also..."
Chen Heng tightened his bow and shook his head.
When he left the Blue Sky Palace that day, he packed a few things and took the coffin of his predecessor brother down the mountain overnight.
After riding fast for three days, we were now less than half a day away from Lanliang City, where the Chen clan was located.
But Chen Heng was still uneasy.
Is that woman really willing to let her go because of Chen Yingjiao's words?
So easy?
When the predecessor first went up the mountain, he begged Yan Zhen countless times, every word was as sincere as a cuckoo weeping blood, but in the end he died in Xiaogan Mountain with anger.
People like them.
Can you really be moved by words?
…
"Forget it, I'm just a slave to you and I'm a fish, so thinking about it is just a waste of time and energy."
Chen Heng urged him harder and rode alongside Xu Zhi: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked my senior brother for your hard work and coming to see me back home."
"Why do you need to say thank you to me? I have nothing to do in the mountains."
Xu Zhi laughed loudly and said: "You have just become pregnant, and although you have left the mortal body, you have no experience in fighting, and you have not learned a few Tao techniques yet. Senior brother, I am also practicing at the sixth level of Qi. Monk, although my right hand is weak, if this mortal demon Xiaoxiao comes, he will die!"
"However, it will be difficult for senior brother to contribute to next year's trip to the Abyss. Don't be surprised."
Xu Zhi laughed at himself:
"You know that it's common for me to be timid and timid. I also know that it's not good, but it's always hard to change. I haven't achieved much in this life, but I can live every day and study and refine medicine. I feel Huanxi, as for places like the Abyss, I really don’t have the guts to go..."
"Senior brother, what I said is serious, how dare I blame you?"
Chen Heng shook his head gently.
"However, there is something that has been pressing on my mind for a long time, but I still don't understand it." Xu Zhi looked at him, hesitated, and spoke carefully.
"Senior brother, please tell me."
"Didn't it be that your clan brother gave Yan Zhen advice and coaxed you up the mountain? You wanted to kill him with a sword before, so why do you want to send his coffin back to the clan now?"
"If he hadn't pushed me, I would have been killed by the sword that Xu Yan slashed at Yan Zhen... Moreover, who knew that the pill Yan Zhen gave me was a poisonous pill that caused death."
In the memory of this body.
There is still a scene in which the former clan brother vomited blood before dying, knelt down and cried to apologize.
Xu Yan's sword can kill everything.
Not only Yan Zhen, but also the accompanying disciples like his predecessor were caught in his sword energy full of murderous intent. If his predecessor had not been pushed away by his brother, he would have died along with Yan Zhen.
If something goes wrong, can Chen Heng be reborn all over the world?
"You can't look back on what happened yesterday. My mother and he are both dead. I also stayed on Xiaogan Mountain for three years. Now that things have happened, what's the use of remembering grudges."
Chen Heng watched indifferently as the mist like light smoke in the distant mountains dissipated silently under the sun:
"He saved my life, and I will fulfill his last wish, that's all."
Xu Zhi stared blankly at Chen Heng. This young man with a godlike appearance was riding the horse with an expressionless face. There was no sadness or joy on his face.
Everything in the past has flowed away with the waves.
Even Chen Heng.
He is no longer the same Chen Heng...
"I see the Taoist heart in my junior brother's eyes."
He suddenly spoke: "That day, when I was practicing swordsmanship, Master...Elder Gu Jun suddenly announced that he would accept me as his disciple. That's what he said."
"Elder Gu Jun? He is indeed a kind-hearted elder. If he hadn't asked the spirit-rearing room to allocate me this team of Taoist soldiers, I would still be worried about how to transport my brother's coffin."
"Elder Gu..." Xu Zhi smiled bitterly: "He has always been excellent and a pure Taoist."
The two were speechless for a moment.
Seemingly seeing the atmosphere freeze, Xu Zhi turned his gaze to the big bow in Chen Heng's left hand and asked:
"Junior brother is actually proficient in archery? This is the first time I have seen him."
"How can a gentleman not master the six arts?"
Chen Heng smiled slightly. At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the forest on the left side of the official road, and then a majestic white deer sprang out from it, running like flying with all four hooves.
"What a coincidence, I just happened to invite senior brother to taste my skills."
Chen Heng bent the bow like a full moon and easily pulled out all six stone bows.
According to the archery skills in his predecessor's memory, he shot an arrow like a shooting star towards the moon. When he heard the sound of the bowstring, the white deer fell to the ground violently, its neck was penetrated directly, and blood poured out from the fist-sized wound. .
The Taoist soldiers guarding the coffin in front all cheered, and Xu Zhi was even more impressed.
Chen Heng put down his bow and arrow and was about to pick up the deer when there was another sway in the woods beside the official road, and dozens of young ladies in bright clothes and angry horses appeared, accompanied by countless shouts and shouts of pursuit.
"It seems that I fell into someone else's trap by mistake."
Chen Heng reined in the horse and did not go over. He just apologized and held his hand, and then he and Xu Zhi urged the horse to leave.
"Sister, the deer we were chasing was shot to death."
Among the group of boys and girls, a charming girl holding a small short bow pursed her lips: "The guy who shot the deer to death is really good-looking, but why have I never heard of him in Rongguo? Sister, you know Who is he?"
"Isn't that Chen Heng from the Xuanzhen Sect? How come he... was put down on the mountain?"
Among this group of people, the leader is a beautiful woman wearing a fox fur cloak, with a somewhat heroic look in her eyes.
"Let's go! Maybe he came down the mountain specifically because of the Chen clan's trouble!"
She touched the girl's head, turned the horse's head, and chased in the direction where Chen Heng left:
"Let's catch up together and see what he can do!"
…
…
at this time.
Rongguo, Lanliang City, the residence of the Chen family.
In the lobby, a group of elders from the Chen clan looked gloomy. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was gloomy.
"Xi'er must not be handed over. If he is handed over, where will the reputation of my Chen family be at stake? For now, the only solution is to take out the relics of Chen Heng's father!"
Chen Kuang, the leader of the Chen clan, who had obtained the top three academic qualifications and later resigned and returned to his hometown, stood up.
He glanced coldly at the many tribesmen, and his long gray beard trembled:
"Although his father was a wild Taoist during his lifetime, didn't he have some cultivation skills? Those relics of his should be able to deal with Taoist Yangshan, how about it?"
