However, after half a day's work, Chen Heng, who was meditating on the stone cliff, suddenly noticed something and slowly dispersed the Xuan Gong. The strong wind whirlwind around him instantly dispersed, and the spiritual energy returned to its previous state of dense dispersion.
He raised his eyes and looked up.
I saw a ray of purple light coming from the clouds. Its energy was not very strong, just mediocre, and its escape speed was not very fast.
Stay close.
As soon as the light faded, the figure of a young monk appeared.
This man was about 20 years old, seven feet tall, with a neat and handsome appearance. He wore a crown of kudzu and a long-sleeved soap robe. He had a good demeanor, like water flowing from the east, giving people a sense of vitality.
He stood in the clouds and looked at Chen Heng. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his eyes, but it passed quickly and he just said with a smile:
"I'm sorry. It seems that my junior brother has already expected this?"
"But Senior Brother Shen Cheng, please do it in person."
Chen Heng smiled slightly, stood up and returned the greeting. With a wave of his hand, a jasper table and two futons flew out from his sleeves. Immediately, two cups of tea appeared.
The aroma lingers and spreads, making people feel peaceful and refreshed as soon as they smell it.
Seeing this, Shen Cheng didn't doubt that he was there. He cupped his hand and walked to the table to sit down. He put the tea cup to his lips and took a sip.
He tasted it with his eyes closed, but his mouth was full of fragrance, delicious and sweet, which went straight into his mind. He praised it and said:
"Is this supposed to be Changyou Xie's 'Yinghua Needle'? I haven't tasted it for many years. It's thanks to Junior Brother Chen that I got it today. It's an unexpected surprise."
"This thing is just something I earned from the pocket of a member of the family. It is not a cherished thing. If Senior Brother Shen likes it, you might as well take it all."
Chen Heng took out an exquisite ebony box, chuckled, and handed it out.
"That would be disrespectful to my brother!"
Shen Chengsaran clapped his hands and immediately took it and put it in his sleeves.
After that, the two of them didn't say anything and just drank tea.
Only when the cup was bottomed out did Shen Cheng suddenly put down the tea vessel, his expression became serious, two flashes of lightning seemed to flash in his eyes, and he said seriously:
"On the way here, I thought about it and considered a lot of words, but seeing that Junior Brother Chen already knew my intention, any more words would be a waste of words. As the saying goes, both sides will benefit from cooperation, and division will benefit us. Two evils.
Now that the family is so powerful, I wonder if Junior Brother Chen is willing to take action?
If you and I can work together, we will surely be able to frighten the wolves and seize the good fortune in that underground palace! "
The sound was like a thunderbolt, causing the clouds hovering above the cliff to scatter in all directions.
The power is so fierce that the rumble echoes among the mountains!
Chen Heng was not surprised when he heard this. He nodded slightly, flicked his sleeves, and said seriously:
"Although the family is powerful now, they are still foreigners. How can we allow them to run rampant here? What senior brother said is also what I want!"
Shen Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately leaned down and bowed deeply, saying happily:
"Very good! Very good! I can get help from my junior brother like a fish in water!"
Chen Heng stood up from the table, saying he didn't dare, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
It's exactly what Shen Cheng said just now.
Cooperation will benefit both sides, division will cause two harms!
In a situation like this, it would be impossible to subdue the people of this family in the Flowing Fire Cave Heaven with just his own strength.
That being the case.
That wants to fight for the good fortune in the cave.
It is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
Taking risks is just a trivial matter. I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if you make a lot of efforts but gain very little.
However, people in the world clan are far from being able to cover the sky with one hand. In this cave, in addition to the family lineage, there are also forces from the sect lineage.
And the so-called pure Yang creation has a certain number after all. You have more, I have less.
It is difficult for the two parties, the family and the sect, to sit down and talk calmly. They need to gather friends and use real methods to win or lose.
Now that the same clan is at odds with each other, Chen Heng needs to find a helping hand so that he can fight for opportunities in the cave.
Then he chooses in his heart.
Naturally it goes without saying!
As for Shen Cheng, although Chen Heng only met him for the first time today.
But on the way to Flowing Fire Honghua Cave Heaven, Chen Heng had already asked Jiang Daolian to inquire about all the famous Dongxuan refiners in the four courtyards, and he didn't know anything about Shen Cheng.
This person is a disciple of Xuanyingyuan. He is proficient in talisman and thunder, and is very good at killing and fighting. He often goes down the mountain to kill demons and eliminate demons. He has made many meritorious deeds and earned a lot of merit.
Because I saw that he was an outstanding character and had a strong character.
Seven years ago, the supervising master of Xuanyingyuan specifically asked Yuchen Sect for instructions, issued a legal ban, and allowed Shen Cheng to exchange his merits for the "Ode to Ming Zhen Yi Xuan Zhang" in the sutra tower, which could be used for Taoist practice.
As soon as this happened.
Zeng also caused quite a stir in Xuanyingyuan at that time, making Shen Cheng very popular.
This "Ode to the Mysterious Chapter of Ming Zhen Lun" is a Taoist book that can lead to the realm of Dong Xuan.
It is said that it was born out of "Hunsu Yuanzhi" and is an out-and-out Taoist scripture, extremely precious!
And "Hunsu Yuanzhi" is one of the five canons, ranked among the twenty-five righteous laws!
This also means that Shen Chengruo can secure his position among the top ten disciples in six years and become the top one.
He can then directly connect to the wonderful book "Hunsu Yuanzhi", which is like water and milk, and saves him the hard work of sharpening his Taoism.
The expectations of Shangzong Zhuzhen and the Supervisor of Xuanying Academy for him.
This is evident from this!
In these four lower houses, unless there is a family classic or another chance.
If all disciples want to obtain the superior Dharma, they need to go to the three great masters to reveal their names, receive tasks, and go down the mountain to earn merit.
Then the real person of the Supervisory Academy will observe his behavior and test the school's character. If he passes the test, he will report the matter to the Yuchen Sect.
After getting permission.
Then the disciple can exchange the merit he earns for the Book of Great Dao hidden in the courtyard...
This matter is difficult to say, but not easy to say.
But you have to go down the mountain after all, and a lot of hard work is indispensable.
And maybe it was because of the consideration that the noble family and those with ulterior motives might do something wrong when going down the mountain.
Before Jun Yao left for Tianwai, he specially gave the book "The Jade Book of Doushus Heavenly King Shenzong" as a gift to him.
Chen Heng has no shortage of Taoist books, so he has not done anything to expose the list yet, and he has no merit at all.
But then again.
The fact that Shen Cheng was able to master the "Ode to the Mysterious Theory of Ming Zhen Lun Xuan Zhang" shows that he has extraordinary abilities and is not an ordinary person. Moreover, this person has always had a good reputation in Xuanying Academy.
Make an alliance with him.
It is indeed a matter of mutual benefit!
And after hearing Chen Heng's firm reply.
At this moment, Shen Cheng let his guard down a little, sighed, and said some confidant words:
"I wonder if Junior Brother Chen knows that in this small cave, the creation has not been exhausted, and there is still an underground palace?"
"Have heard a little bit."
Chen Heng nodded slightly.
"That underground palace is indeed an important place. Even though it has gone through thousands of years, it is still very strict..."
Shen Cheng shook his head and spoke slowly.
And after he finished speaking.
Chen Heng also learned from it.
The underground palace is now sealed by three stone gates and cannot be opened.
If you want to enter it, you can only refining the four fire and water wells at the underground palace, and then you can trigger the forbidden law. Through the water and fire wells, you can find a strange path and go deep into the underground palace.
That is to say.
Who can refine the well of water and fire.
Whoever has the initiative to enter and exit the underground palace!
At present, the four water and fire wells all have their own owners.
Shen Cheng occupied the northern position, Liu Guan and Sima Mingye occupied the western position, Xiao Xiujing occupied the eastern position, and Zhao Tong occupied the southern position.
Neither Shen Cheng nor Zhao Tong were from aristocratic clans. From this point of view, the sects and the aristocratic clans were on equal footing.
However, when it comes to the real situation, it is far from what it seems on the surface.
There are only four water and fire wells, but there are more than four Dongxuan monks who have entered this small cave. It can be said that there are more monks than meat.
But in the lower courtyard of Yuchen today, the family is powerful after all.
With the encouragement and support of Xiao Xiujing and Liu Guan.
Those Dongxuan refiners from aristocratic families, such as Yin He and Ji Yuetan, are attacking hard, intending to snatch the water and fire wells from Shen Cheng and Zhao Tong.
Although Shen Cheng and Zhao Tong are not without party members.
However, under such offensives, we gradually feel overwhelmed and powerless.
This is why Shen Cheng was overjoyed when he heard that Chen Heng had defeated more than a dozen fellow monks and frightened the two refiners, Yin He and Ji Yuetan, back.
Not being proud of his identity, he deliberately came to look for him while distracted.
In fact, the current situation made him, Shen Cheng, quite troubled.
Look outside for help.
It has become something that has to be done...
…
"Only when all four water and fire wells are refined, will the restrictions there be loosened, and then I can activate the water and fire wells."
At this time.
Shen Cheng stared at Chen Heng and said earnestly:
"To be honest, because I want to refine the well of water and fire, I really can't live anywhere. If I act rashly and leave the mouth of the well, all my previous efforts will be wasted in an instant...
I also asked Junior Brother Chen to help me while I was refining, so as to prevent Xiao Xiujing and Liu Guan from succeeding. Brother Yu is really grateful! "
In the orthodox immortal way, when monks reach the second level of "transcendence from fractals" in Zifu, they can divide their thoughts and embody them in objects.
The main body does not move, but when the mind comes up, it can roam among the famous mountains and rivers at will.
With Chen Heng's eyesight, he could tell that Shen Cheng in front of him was not actually there in person, but just an idea reflected in the object.
And when you hear it said like this, it becomes clear.
"Senior Brother Shen's words are serious, and this is the right thing to do."
Chen Heng paused and said, "But how many days will it take for Senior Brother Shen to finish refining it?"
"Two months at most!"
Chen Heng pondered for a moment and nodded.
Seeing Chen Heng agreeing, Shen Cheng smiled inwardly and felt his body relax.
After that, the two agreed to meet in the palace five days later. After chatting for a few words, Shen Cheng left without staying much.
"However, since Brother Yu has received the good tea from Junior Brother Chen, he must express his feelings..."
At this time.
Shen Cheng suddenly paused and said:
"I wonder if junior brother has ever heard of the Talisman Patriarch from Taifu Palace?"
"Like thunder piercing the ears." Chen Heng smiled softly.
"Taifu Palace is one of the eight sects of Xuanmen, and is our comrade. Its sect is famous for its seven or forty-nine pure talismans, each of which has incredible power.
And the Fu Shen ancestor had learned half of the Shangqing Zhen Talisman. Even if you look at Xu Dutian, this old man is still a master of Fu Lu Dao. "
Shen Cheng reached into his sleeve, took out something, and held it out.
And Chen Heng saw that what Shen Cheng handed over was a golden cloud basket.
It is written in the shape of a mountain, with a god holding a whip underneath, as if trying to suppress something. It is full of spiritual energy and is obviously not a mortal thing.
He raised his hand to take it and couldn't help but said:
"Could this vase be made from the ginseng leaves of ancestor Fu Shen?"
Shen Cheng was surprised when he heard this, waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"How could it be so precious? However, this talisman does have a close relationship with Ancestor Fu Shen. It was created by Ancestor Fu Shen himself.
I heard from my younger brother that Qiao Yan is already dead, and the moon wheel mirror on his body has not returned to Xiao Xiujing's side... In this case, this mirror can actually help my younger brother! "
Chen Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Please give me some advice from Senior Brother Shen."
"This urn is called the Five Directions Soul-Suppressing Talisman. It was made by the master of our Xuanying Academy. Although it cannot make the moon wheel mirror become something in the palm of my junior brother, it can suppress her true knowledge and prevent this magic weapon from being abrupt. It’s not difficult to cause chaos.”
Shen Cheng looked at Chen Heng seriously and said:
"Junior brother, after all, the moon mirror belongs to Master Xiao Fang, so we must be careful. Maybe Xiao Xiujing has other means to recall it. In this cave, it is better not to use it. Use Five Directions to suppress it as soon as possible. The right way is to use the magic talisman to suppress it."
Don't wait for Chen Heng's thanks.
Shen Cheng raised his hand to interrupt:
"After leaving the cave, junior brother, if you want to erase the magic power restriction left by Xiao Fang, you can come to me. Brother Yu can help you get rid of this trouble!"
It's time to talk.
His body instantly turned into a purple light, and he flew away into the air.
And until the figure completely disappeared.
Chen Hengcai slowly looked away from the clouds.
He had a thoughtful look on his face, shook his head and smiled.
"This person is really a person. No matter how powerful or clever he is, he is far superior to anyone else! He gave you the talisman in the end, not only to show favor to you, but also to warn you that he is not without his feet."
At this time.
Chen Heng suddenly heard the sound of the escape shuttle in his sleeves and sighed:
"I'm afraid that this Shen Cheng will be your rival in six years!"
"It's just human nature for him to have doubts about me."
Chen Heng waved his hand and said calmly:
"As for six years later, naturally everyone will have to use their own methods. Anyway, there are already three people, He Lizi, Wei Daofu and Shi You. Adding another senior brother Shen Cheng will not hinder anything. It will only make it more lively!"
Then he had a thought in his mind, and the Escape Shuttle immediately understood, and a blue light flashed.
The two figures were no longer there, and they moved instantly to the cave where they had retreated...
…
This time Chen Heng defeated dozens of people in a row, and his true energy was really depleted.
Even if he looks at the four courtyards of Yuchen with such profound Taoist foundation, few people can match him, so he still feels exhausted.
After he has finished regulating his breath, his true Qi has returned to his old outlook.
He calculated with his fingers and saw that there were still three days left before the agreed date, so he was not in a hurry to leave, but practiced the Xuan Gong again in the Yi Zhen Dharma Realm.
When the appointment date was approaching, Chen Heng called Qiao Rui out, gave her some instructions, and left some means to protect her.
Then he shook his sleeves and flew into the sky without hesitation.
Look around.
Only the clouds and mountains are green, and the color and light are blurred.
And the mountains at the foot are gathered like fighting ants, covering each other, and there are clouds flying into the sky. There is no place to stay, the momentum is extremely majestic!
The vast scenery of the high ground on this day made Chen Heng suddenly feel a surge of pride in his heart.
He couldn't help but laugh loudly, shook his body, and was knocked away by the strong wind, disappearing in an instant!
