In a blink of an eye, seven days flew by.
Above the extreme sky, the strong currents were churning layer by layer, like whirlpools in the sea, wreaking havoc everywhere.
The loud sound shook the eardrums, and the wind roared shrilly!
It is extremely difficult to reach such a high place, and even a well-trained monk would find it extremely difficult to climb up to this level.
If you are not careful, the protective spiritual light will be shattered by the strong wind, and you will fall from an infinite height and be shattered into pieces.
However, a large bronze palace stood here, treating these violent currents as flowing rivers and seizing them for its own use.
In just the blink of an eye.
I don’t know that I have drifted through hundreds of mountains, rivers, water and sky...
This palace has a strange and ancient style. It is divided into two levels, the upper and lower levels. It is green and bronze in color and is very spacious. It is dozens of miles wide.
There are mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, and pavilions and pavilions are looming among the mountains and rivers. From time to time, a maid or a boy will walk through them, carrying a tray with a cup.
This scale and shape is more appropriate than a palace, rather than a small bronze city.
At this time, in a quiet room, Chen Heng was looking through a notebook written by his predecessors. When he came to a critical point, he would use his finger as a pen from time to time to draw out a few sword energy and practice in the air.
This is a Taoist book that Ding Zhenjun took out of his sleeve.
According to what he said, it should be able to help Chen Heng reach the fourth level of swordsmanship and realize the mystery of body and sword.
However, after Chen Heng read the whole article, he felt that this book was all nonsense. Although it was very colorful, it was not to the point.
There are also some anecdotes and unofficial stories mixed in among them.
It is said to be a spiritual guide.
More like a ghost.
However, although this book is 90% and 60% nonsense, the remaining 34% is somewhat useful. When reading it, there is no lack of a sense of inspiration.
For this reason.
Chen Heng also managed to endure it and pondered over and over again the few useful sentences.
Since he is determined to compete in the Four Academy Competition and wants to compete for ranking in the competition five years later, the East China Sea Dragon Palace and his team are indispensable!
The dragon king chooses his son-in-law, which has been practiced since ancient times.
This move is not only to marry a daughter, but also to make friends with outstanding people from all over the world in advance.
Show favors to them before they really prosper.
When we meet again in the future, whether we are enemies or friends, there will always be a bit of the old friendship...
Although this move was a good idea, it cost a lot of money.
Even if others want to follow suit, they may not have the financial resources.
Only the dragon family in the East China Sea has a huge business and can afford it...
And it is such a wide range of good relationships that makes the Donghai Dragon Clan's connections almost spread all over the world. Shangzhen Daxiu, who is famous all over the world, almost all received favors from his family when he was young.
Several times the heaven and the earth changed over and over again, and killings and calamities arose.
The East China Sea Dragon Clan relies on this to maintain its vitality.
No serious injuries to muscles and bones...
As far as Chen Heng knows.
Anyone who wins the first place in choosing a son-in-law, whether he wants to marry the Dragon Girl or not, can make a request to the Dragon Palace.
It doesn't matter if it's a magic weapon, a treasure, a spiritual pet, or some kind of dual-cultivation cauldron or superior mystical skills.
Dragon Palace will agree generously and not be stingy.
So much so that a few times ago, it was rumored that a talented person from the Lower House of the Blood River Sect boldly asked for a piece of land from the Dragon Palace after winning the first place. Even though he was asking for such a high price, he unexpectedly got the answer.
Not only that, Dragon Palace also gave the Blood River Sect disciple five hundred spirit warriors to help him take care of various chores in the blessed land and share ideas.
Really generous handwriting.
Jaw-dropping!
Although the Dragon Palace's rewards are generous, for ordinary monks, they are enough to transform them and reach the sky in one step.
But the top spot.
But it's not that easy to get.
When the cultivators are competing and fighting, even though Zifu has the top position in Zifu and Dongxuan has the chief in Dongxuan, there will be no situation where the situation is overwhelming.
But the selection of a son-in-law by Mr. Long is indeed a grand event.
Not only Xudu, but also the heroes of the eight sects and six sects will face personal consequences.
Even in the outer universe, there are people who work tirelessly just to attend this excitement.
Although Chen Heng claims to have extraordinary means, he is not sure that he is really in the realm of Zifu and can overwhelm the prestige of other cultivators and win the first place.
The Taoism of the eight sects and six sects each has its own magical features, which are definitely not vulgar and should not be underestimated!
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Heavens and Ten Thousand Daos are not just the orthodox path to immortality.
Since those people from outside the world who practice foreign dharma come here all the time, they probably have one or two means at their disposal.
When facing them, it is inevitable to be careful.
Thinking about this situation, although Chen Heng was determined to win the name of his enemy, he wanted to use this as an excuse to temporarily borrow a cave in the East China Sea to practice cultivation.
But it is also necessary to practice a few more powerful methods to protect yourself, so that you can have a better chance of winning.
But for example, Nanming Lihuo and Ziqing Shenlei, although they have obtained the cultivation method, they have no supply of external medicine, making it difficult to get started.
Like Yin Erosion Red Water, although it is the middle state, if you want to refine this water method to the ultimate state, you need to find any one of the three sub-waters, Luo Dark Black Water and Death White Water, and choose it as a fellow practitioner , combine the breath.
Only by condensing a Dharma seed within the body can one reach the ultimate state of red water.
Another example is the four-mountain duel and other superior Taoist techniques. Although they are powerful, they are difficult to use as a final trump card.
Think about it this way.
If he wants to improve his fighting ability in a short period of time.
But he can only improve the realm of swordsmanship again and reach the fourth level - body and sword as one!
However, these few times I entered the Invisible Qi Sword Cave, I didn't see any good luck, or I just went up to the first or second floor and couldn't get any insights.
Or he would go down to eight or nine floors, suffer a lot of cuts, and end up dead and alive.
Only once, he was lucky enough to enter the fifth level of the Sword Cave. Although he had some enlightenment, it was not enough to break through the obstacles and advance to another world...
…
Just when Chen Heng was thinking about it, he heard a clear bell ringing, and then there was a boy's knock on the door, calling for Zhenjun Yan Ding.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. During the seven days in this bronze palace, Ding Zhenjun would indeed call him and Qiao Rui to listen to sermons, but it was usually at Mao time, and it never changed.
Judging from the light and air in the sky today, it is already the time when the sun is setting, and it should be the time for Ding Zhenjun to drink and have fun.
See him now.
It probably won't be a sermon, I'm afraid it's something else.
Chen Heng didn't delay, pushed the door open, and followed the boy to turn left and right, until he came to a hall with a wide open door.
Looking up, the hall is extremely spacious and open, with new green door walls and emerald stairs.
Every three feet, there is a pearl embedded on the wall. The halo is brilliant, like a star, making people feel like they are in a vast ocean of stars, full of colors.
Two little white apes were guarding the incense burner, holding cattail fans in their hands. From time to time, they would gently wave one at the bottom of the burner, causing the fireworks to be high or low, and the incense to be thicker or thinner.
At the end of the hall, on the three jade steps, there is a cloud bed that is about 10 feet wide. Ding Zhenjun is sitting on it. Behind him, on the left is a waiter in green clothes with a red lapel, holding a lion to ward off evil spirits. On the right is a waiter in black silk silk. Holding the dragon and tiger as one wishes.
The energy penetrates the sky and the darkness, falling into the divine ritual, and you feel like a carefree god!
And in the palace.
Except Ding Zhenjun.
Except Ding Zhenjun.
But there was Qiao Rui and another strange female crown.
Seeing Chen Heng enter the hall, Ding Zhenjun stopped talking and smacked his lips, but in the end he couldn't help but said to the female crown:
"All in all, if Lord Benzhen hadn't been kind-hearted and merciful, and brought your Qiao Rui into this palace, the little girl's life would have been difficult to save! You owe me a favor, a huge favor, tens of millions Don’t forget!”
The crowned lady raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled coldly, and shouted:
"Favor? Who owes you a favor! I have been waiting outside Heming Mountain for a long time, but the top of the mountain is full of your Yuchen people, so it is difficult to get close... It would be better for you to take Xiao Qiao without saying anything. Come on, make it easy for me to find you all the way. Do you still have the nerve to say I owe you a favor at this time?
Ding Hepu, I'm surprised, where did you get your face? "
"There is no merit, but there is hard work, right?" Ding Zhenjun, who was called by his real name by the female crown, was not embarrassed. He smiled slightly and said:
"I heard that you recently got three Luoyang Great Pills. I don't know-"
"It's already dusk, it's really time to sleep and dream." The crown prince interrupted with a sneer.
Ding He Pu's face collapsed, and he suddenly reached out and pointed to Chen Heng aside, saying:
"This kid asked me to bring Qiao Rui with me! If you want to blame, then blame him!"
When Chen Heng saw the female crown looking at her, he also greeted her with a smile.
From what he said just now, he already knew that this female crown was a member of the Qiao family.
Although I don’t know if the civil strife in the Qiao family has subsided now, but someone has come to greet them, which at least shows that the Qiao Ruiye clan is not alone anymore...
The female crown looked Chen Heng up and down, nodded slightly, with a trace of satisfaction in her eyes, and said with a smile:
"Thank you very much for Xiao Qiao being able to survive this time. I just listened to her tell the whole story, but I praised you so much. She——"
Speaking of which.
Qiao Rui suddenly stretched out her hand and gently tugged at the corner of the woman's crown.
Nu Guan smiled slightly, understanding in her heart, and stopped talking.
"Your sister is still waiting for you in Mishan. You can't wait too long. Go ahead and I'll wait for you here."
Nu Guan said to Qiao Rui, then turned to Ding He Pu. Without saying much, she raised her hand and threw something at him.
"My dear...it's worth all my hard work!"
Ding Hepu took the object, brought it up to his eyes and looked at it, then he grinned and said cheerfully.
Nu Guan's expression was indifferent, as if she was too lazy to answer.
…
…
The dusk clouds hang low and the moon is as bright as ice.
After walking out of that palace, my ears suddenly felt a lot deserted.
Qiao Rui was startled when she heard the wind in her ears. She blinked, looked up at Chen Heng not far away, and suddenly smiled seriously:
"Senior brother, thank you."
"It's just a little effort, no need to be polite."
Chen Heng replied.
The five-color lamps hanging high on the eaves sway gently in the wind, casting mottled and interlaced shadows.
Qiao Rui saw Chen Heng standing a few steps away and looked back calmly.
A pair of long eyebrows are calm, like jade in the blue water, and the cold bamboo in the forest. The blurred halo falls from his shoulders like water, and falls on his sleeves, which is beyond the ordinary.
Like the banished immortals in the sky who eat the wind and drink the dew, and like the solemn jade statues in the temple.
"Sister is already discussing with the clan leader. No one wants to bleed. I heard from my aunt that Qiao Wendun will be exiled to the outer world and will not be able to return for the rest of his life. The same goes for Qiao Jingyi, who will resign from her position at Baishangyuan..."
The two stood side by side, and Qiao Rui talked endlessly, intermittently.
Finally, he slowly started to stutter, his tongue was a little tangled, and his head dropped.
After a brief silence.
She raised her head sharply and looked at Chen Heng. A bright light flashed in her eyes, and she said sadly:
"Senior brother...will we meet again in the future?"
"This is a separation of life, not a farewell of death."
Chen Heng paused and smiled calmly:
"You will eventually return to the House of Commons. We will see you again later."
The voice was low and cold, just like before.
After Qiao Rui heard this reply, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart, but she couldn't explain the reason.
"Then can I still ask my senior brother for Taoist teachings in the future? Just like in Zhao Kingdom... I won't delay my senior brother's efforts, and I will only choose to do it when he is free?"
Qiao Rui felt a little guilty, as if she was afraid of being rejected, but she still spoke in a low voice.
Chen Heng glanced at her, was silent for a moment, hummed lightly, and then added as warmly as possible:
"Qiao Zhenjun has given me the kindness of rebirth, no matter how I repay it, it is not an exaggeration. When you return to the mountain, if you have time, you can come to see me, but you don't mind that my rough talk has delayed your time to practice Taoism." Have a good day."
"No! No way!"
When Qiao Rui heard this reply, her eyes dimmed slightly.
But he quickly raised his face, narrowed his eyes and smiled at Chen Heng, like a well-behaved cat.
And this time.
The female crown also walked out of the palace and winked slightly at Qiao Rui.
"...Senior brother."
Although I had held back a lot of words, the only thing that came to my lips was this:
"I will definitely practice hard and achieve higher levels!"
Chen Heng looked slightly solemn, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"The road to immortality is rugged and the high road is difficult to walk. Since my junior sister has this ambition, I am willing to encourage her with her!"
"..."
Nu Guan was silent for a moment when she saw this, her eyes had a strange look, but she didn't waste any time.
After giving a slight nod to Chen Heng, he raised his hand, and immediately a stream of colorful star smoke came out, wrapping her and Qiao Rui, breaking through the strong wind, and disappeared in an instant.
"This escape method is flashy! All the people in the world are just fake, but I can defeat three of them by myself!"
At this time, Ding Hepu also walked out of the hall, glanced into the sky, smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed.
"Ding Zhenjun."
Chen Heng bowed.
"Now that Qiao Rui has been picked up, all the masters and disciples who were out of the four courtyards have returned to their respective mountain gates one after another. Everything should be fine now."
Ding and Pu smiled.
"I would also like to thank Zhenjun for protecting me."
"I should protect you as well. You did a great job in that Flowing Fire Honghua Cave. With such great talent and beauty, if Junior Brother Luo Yu hadn't told you, I would have almost missed a good talent."
Chen Heng knew that the junior brother Luo Yu he was talking about should be the master surnamed Luo who gave him the "Purple Pure Divine Thunder", so he bowed again and gave another salute.
"It doesn't have to be like this. The reason why I protect you is partly public and partly selfish. Of course, the public heart is because you are my disciple of Yuchen. I don't want to ignore it. As for the selfish..."
Ding Hepu waved his hands, his voice deepened slightly, and his face became solemn:
"If you can become a member of the Shang Sect, would you like to enter my fifth junior brother's blessed place to practice and become his disciple?"
Chen Heng's eyes narrowed slightly and his heart moved, but he still asked one more question:
"How dare you, disciple? Don't you know the name of that senior?"
"You must have heard of him. My fifth junior brother has been very popular in recent years."
Ding Hepu said:
"His surname is Chen, his name is Taichu... he is the current leader of Xuanzhu Blessed Land!"
