He originally thought that he would be interrogated. Whether it was the Wanli Shining Talisman or the golden light magic talisman used to protect himself and survive, he, just a Qi practitioner, could not explain it in a few words. of.
And don't talk about cross-examination.
Even the coercion and torture are not surprising.
Therefore, after being half invited and half forced by Sima Lingzhen to enter the Zisu Bafang Palace, Chen Heng actually made a plan.
However, after Sima Lingzhen summoned a group of Dongxuan refiners, he didn't say much, he just gave him a harsh lecture...
Accusing them of being unfavorable in defending the land, they have shouldered the responsibility of patrolling and eradicating evil, and yet they allowed an evil, angry, evil demon to live freely under their noses for such a long time, destroying countless lives. It is really shameless.
The usually aloof Dongxuan Master was ridiculed by Sima Lingzhen and turned into a disgrace, showing no dignity at all.
Even Xie Tan of Huashen Mansion and the master of Wuguang Sect just bowed their heads and stood silently, not daring to say a word in defense, let alone the elder Dongxuan and the casual cultivators of the small sect.
This scolding and questioning lasted for several cups of tea before we finally had a break.
Sima Lingzhen finally ordered the cultivators to conduct strict inspections in the near future to eliminate any signs of the demon that were still missing. Then he impatiently waved his hand and drove the cultivators out like flies and mosquitoes.
Although his attitude was extremely arrogant and arrogant, he treated the practitioners as if they were servants raised in the family. He would attract them and drive them away, laughing and cursing without saying anything.
However, all the refiners did not dare to be arrogant at all, they just listened respectfully.
Even if there were a few impatient ones, before they could show any signs of impatience or speak out to refute, they had already been warned secretly by their companions in advance. They could only swallow their anger and lower their heads, their faces almost ajar. It turned into the color of pig liver.
It stands to reason that these sects are not affiliated with the Yuchen Sect, let alone a few unfettered Sanren refiners who are also here...
No matter how long Sima Lingzhen stretched his hands, he could not control the three-thirds of an acre in the Southern Territory, and he could not humiliate and bully himself like he could control his own subordinates.
But in the cultivation of immortality, those who have mastered it will be respected in the end.
In front of a Jindan master with a prominent family background and a big family background.
No matter how impotent his words were, almost pointing at his nose and scolding him harshly, the cultivators could only swallow the bad breath silently, and instead smile at each other.
Even those who were usually reckless and unruly did not dare to show off their bravery in front of Sima Lingzhen at this moment. They could only remember today's humiliation in their hearts.
He behaves like this even to Master Dongxuan, which is extremely rude.
But after driving away the cultivators, Sima Lingzhen managed to suppress a sneer when facing Chen Heng.
After just a few breaths of silence and looking up and down.
Then he raised his hand to let him leave the Purple Bafang Palace...
…
"You didn't ask anything about the evil and angry Yin Sheng Demon, and you didn't care about the origins of the Wanli Shining Talisman and the Golden Light Talisman. You just let me see his majesty?"
Chen Heng thought to himself:
"Senior sister must have communicated with this Sima Lingzhen through messages? That saved me this trouble?"
He took another look at the Zi Su Bafang Palace.
At this time, the flying palace was slowly rising into the sky again, blowing away the strong wind and air currents. With a "bang" sound, it was like a thunderbolt, and it flew towards Mingxu. The sound was very powerful and majestic.
Looking up from a distance, it was like seeing a purple star, just about to merge into the sky of thousands of miles, covering the flowing scenery with flying clouds, extremely brilliant.
This caused everyone on Puyu to scramble to open their eyes and let out bursts of exclamations.
"Such a beautiful scene is what the Xuanmen Immortal Family looks like. I don't know how long it will take me to achieve this..."
Until the Zi Su Bafang Palace disappeared into the clouds in the sky, and there was no more bright color.
Chen Hengcai slowly looked away and sighed in his heart.
At this time, there was still a commotion around, which lasted for a long time. There were also a few sharp-eyed people who recognized Chen Heng's face and started to point out good things.
Under the Wanli Photo Talisman, whether it was Huaiwu Cave Master, Evil Anger Yin Shengmo or Chen Heng, their faces were all clearly revealed...
Chen Heng had no intention of getting into trouble with these people. He only dodged a few times, then hid in a narrow alley, casually took out a mask and covered his face. Then he set up a pure white escape light and headed straight for Red Leaf Island.
After half a stick of incense, he stopped on a Puyu island planted with dense red maples, pressed down the clouds, and landed on the street.
He looked up and saw that not far away was the "Xianke Residence" where he and Wei Lingjiang now lived. As soon as his footsteps moved, he strode towards it.
…
…
"Although with the Wanli Seeing Talisman, senior sister should know that the evil evil evil demon has been eliminated, but after all, this matter is related to her Taoist future, so it is better to tell her face to face to make her feel at ease."
Chen Heng thought to himself.
Although Wei Lingjiang's method of getting rid of evil, anger, and victory over demons seemed to him to be quite bizarre, and could even be said to be absurd.
He was a Qi practitioner, but he held two large talismans in his hands. In the end, it was Sima Lingzhen of the Yuchen faction who was able to get rid of the evil and angry Yin Sheng Mo...
If we look deeper into this, we can see that it is more or less overqualified, just like cooking a chicken with an ox in a cauldron.
Even though the evil evil spirit and evil demon is an obstacle blocking the way, it must be removed before we can walk without hindrance...
But why can't we just ask a real person from Jindan to take action and eliminate it with thunderous means?
If that's the case, where does all the effort and painstaking care come from?
However, the thought that arose in his mind only passed by for a moment. The details of the test method mentioned by Wei Lingjiang came from the decree of the Chiming Sect after all.
It seems that these immortal sect giants have hidden hidden meanings in their actions.
With my current way of doing things, even if I try to make some guesses, I am like a blind man trying to grasp the elephant, unable to get the true reality.
When Chen Heng was not far from Xiankeju, with only less than a hundred steps left, there was a call from the roadside that called him.
Look up.
I saw a wheelbarrow float leaning on the side of the road. Inside the car were hundreds of flower branches kept in jade bottles of purified water. The colors were bright, like beauty makeup, and it was extremely beautiful and gorgeous.
The owner of the wheelbarrow is a hawker who has just grown up. He has a short beard, a simple blue robe, a turban on his head, and a pair of soap-colored boots. He has an ordinary appearance and nothing much. Something surprising.
Seeing Chen Heng stop for a moment, his eyes swept across the hundreds of flower branches.
The hawker was so happy that he hurriedly greeted him, wishing he could grab his sleeve and drag him to the front of his home business.
"Distinguished guest! Distinguished guest! Today is the festival, why don't you buy a bouquet of flowers here and give it to your wife? If your wife receives this gift, she will be very happy!"
The hawker said with a smile on his face:
"Have you ever heard of the Fengsi Festival? To be honest, this festival is an ancient ritual passed down from the old days. This is still said in many lands in the Southern Region. I heard that even the former Master Yan Xi before he attained enlightenment , that is, Tong——"
"With such a big thing happening today, won't the festival be postponed?"
The hawker who was talking incessantly was suddenly interrupted.
He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing:
"Isn't your honorable guest joking? It's just Huaiwu Cave Master and a demon. Even if the sky is about to collapse, life will continue as usual. How can you say this..."
As he said this, the hawker began to scold the master of Huaiwu Cave again. This man himself was obviously a non-commercial cultivator, but he had no sympathy for his fellow cultivators. For more than two hundred years, he pretended to be a good old man, and when he attacked the non-communist cultivators , but there is no mercy at all, he is actually a real person with a beast's heart!
He only hoped that the real person of the Yuchen Sect would not let this beast die too easily, and would let the Huaiwu Cave Master experience all the tortures in the world before he could swallow his breath and disappear!
After being scolded, the hawker did not forget to continue promoting his own business.
Maybe it was because he was talking so enthusiastically, that the hawker put out all his energy, and in a few words, he was blowing up to the heavens.
"Dear guest, I am dissatisfied with you for saying that the young man was able to get married all thanks to these flower branches..."
Chen Heng did not interrupt this time. He only waited until he stopped talking before he said with a smile:
"There are so many people on the road, so why do you have to recruit me to patronize your business?"
"It seems that the distinguished guests really don't know the customs of this festival..."
The vendor looked at Chen Heng strangely, then put a smile on his face and explained:
"On this Si Festival day, only the family members will cover their eyes with masks when they go out to enjoy the lanterns. For the rest of the family and friends to enjoy the lanterns, there is no such thing. They just treat it as an ordinary festival. , and does not cover his face."
He pointed at the sapphire mask on Chen Heng's face and said:
"Since the distinguished guest has specially met her, he must have someone he likes. He wants to invite her to enjoy the lanterns. Even if she is not married yet, it should be pretty close...
If the small flower branches are not sold to distinguished guests, then to whom should they be sold? "
"mask?"
Chen Heng's eyes flashed and he was startled.
He just covered his face because he didn't want his face to be recognized by others, which would cause unnecessary entanglement for a long time. In the past, he also used to hide his face before going out.
But I didn't expect that this custom still existed on the day of Fengsi Festival. I suddenly forgot about it and was mistakenly recognized by the vendor, thinking that I was a customer.
He was silent for a moment.
Looking around——
In the distance, several fireworks exploded into the sky, exploding into complex and magnificent colors.
The pavilions and pavilions beside the road were also decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Although the venue was just being decorated, it was still unusually lively.
"Dear guest, it's a little early now. If you want to see the lights, you still have to wait for half an hour...
Logically speaking, this time should have been the time to enjoy the lanterns in the past, but after all, something like the old dog Huaiwu happened today, and everyone was a little uneasy. Even Uncle Zhou led me and others to deal with it, but it was still too late in the end. It's been some time. "
The hawker sighed with regret, but did not forget to continue promoting his business:
"Dear guest, look at my flower——"
"How much does one cost?"
Chen Heng said.
The hawker was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
"If there are flowers, you must break them off. Don't wait until there are no flowers to break off branches! Your distinguished guest really has good eyesight! Good eyesight!"
Let's see, this branch is a bastard tree. It is one year old. The sun is high and the sun is bright. The wind is blowing, and there is no wind, but it is also graceful. When worn around the body, the frost fragrance can be smelled. Wear heavy-duty clothing that will last for three months! "
The hawker smiled and said:
"However, it is not easy to cultivate Tusuke. There is only one small one, and it is the treasure of the store."
"It's worth a lot of money?"
"It's really expensive, I need this amount..."
He smiled and spread his hands:
"How about ten talisman coins?"
Seeing Chen Heng's eyes dim, he didn't speak.
The vendor knew that the price was probably a bit high, so he was not upset. He rubbed his face and continued to point at the flowers in the car and introduce them one by one.
…
"The cheapest ones are two talisman coins? It's a pity that I am really short of money, so I'm really bothering you now."
Facing the hawker's eager eyes.
Chen Heng was silent for a moment.
After a while.
Then he bowed his hands and apologized, closed his eyes and walked away.
"...Dignified guest? Distinguished guest?"
The vendor sighed quietly, smiled wryly, and returned to the back of his float.
Business is hard to do.
It is really difficult to do.
I have been out at the stall for a long time today, but I can even count the number of flower branches sold on two hands...
He knew in his heart that the price was too high. Which ordinary cultivator would like to break one talisman into two, so how could he have extra wealth?
Can you buy this for your own Taoist companions, which is a completely useless plaything for Taoism?
Even the disciples of the sect may not be able to have such luxury...
But in the final analysis, this business is not his own. The big proprietor behind him insists on refusing to lower the price, and the hawker has nothing to do.
While he was having many thoughts, he even took out a jade carving from his sleeve and slowly held it up.
The next moment, a corner of snow-white clothes suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Uh...what else does your distinguished guest have to do? Could it be that he forgot something and left it somewhere near me?"
Chen Heng, who saw that the hawker had left and returned, hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile and asked.
"Excuse me."
Chen Heng raised his hand flatly and held up his wide sleeves. There seemed to be a hidden and unobservable pause at the end of his words:
"It's better to install the arrogant stick for me..."
"Okay...okay! Easy to talk about!"
The hawker was surprised and happy, and he jumped up in a hurry.
After receiving the talisman money in his hand, he accidentally glanced at the precious light emanating from the Fang Qiankun bag, and his eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
"Being short of money? Is this also called being short of money? It's an excuse...
etc! Wasn't this guy just hesitating about whether to give me a branch? He thought about it several times before finally making up his mind? "
The hawker smiled happily in his heart.
When he raised his head, Chen Heng had already entered the Immortal Guesthouse and was already far away.
…
…
On the corridor, Qingzhi put his ear to the crack of the door, narrowed his eyes solemnly, and concentrated.
Although the door was closed, the two people in the room did not conceal their conversation because they deliberately left a thin line when closing it, so more or less, one could still hear a general idea.
Golden elixir...Daozi...Zhuoguang Palace...Three disasters...Taiwen Miaocheng Taojun...
Just as Qingzhi was listening to the excitement, he suddenly saw a flash of light flying into the air, and the door was loosened. He suddenly fell in and rolled several times, until he hit the corner of the room and finally stopped.
"Did you enjoy it?"
At this time, at the tea table, Zhenjun Zhuojing’s eyes were dull and cold, and he said calmly:
"You came at the right time. The affairs of Xuhuangtian and the King of Ten Thousand Blessings, the Chi Jing Tao Rong, need your help just in time."
"I……"
Qingzhi just got up, swallowed his saliva after hearing this, pointed at his head in disbelief, and shouted:
"I?!"
