The clouds are clearing, the sky is clear and the sun is bright——
The melodious and long bells shook the mountains and valleys, echoing solemnly in the sky, with an indescribable sense of solemnity and majesty.
The Taoists who heard this sound moved their bodies and walked out of the room one after another, thinking deeply.
In the cloud palace, the beautiful woman whose facial features were somewhat similar to Wei Lingjiang's, after pondering inexplicably for a long time, also waved her hand and plucked the golden bell outside.
After a crisp jingle sound.
Not long after, there was a white light rising like a river, mighty and powerful, making bursts of popping sounds, flooding over the hills, and falling to the level of Yunque.
Looking up, he saw eight divine horses with hair as white as jade snow in the white light.
Their hooves are smoky and their bodies are covered with flowing clouds. Together they are dragging a red wheel covered car, swaying its tail and running with their hooves, which is very extraordinary.
A splendid maid walked into the cloud palace and said with a smile:
"Girl, do you want to set off now? But the ceremony of traveling has not been prepared, and it is still early. You might as well wait for a cup of tea before going out, is that okay?"
The beautiful woman shook her head when she heard this and said calmly:
"I'm here to fight, not for a banquet. Too many rituals will inevitably be cumbersome and will also attract criticism.
And I heard that the judge of this Fourth Court Competition is Elder Zou of Daolu Hall. This elder is an ascetic monk who doesn’t like gold, jade and flashy things. If he is displeased, when he goes to Daolu Hall to observe scriptures in the future, More or less, it is also a problem. "
Just one sentence.
She didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly to the maid, and then boarded the Zhu Lun Bao covered carriage.
With a loud movement of the reins.
The eight-headed celestial horse also looked up to the sky and let out an excited long hiss, as if it had received some order, and then moved its hooves in unison.
Suddenly, the smoke and clouds are blown away, and the clouds are gone!
And at this moment, the divine horse Pegasus broke through the clouds.
Inside Qingyang Courtyard.
Shi You, who was dressed like an idler in the mountains, was also aware of this.
He smiled slightly, but didn't say much. He just focused on the chessboard in front of him with a calm expression.
Wait until the chess game is settled.
After seeing the ending.
Shi Youcai stood up slowly, raised his sleeves and robe, saluted the middle-aged Taoist who was playing chess with him, and said:
"Senior Brother, then Junior Brother will go."
The middle-aged Taoist priest wears a Hunyuan crown on his head, a hydration Taoist robe, and a yellow silk sash. He has square shoes on his feet, and his air is very elegant.
But at this moment when I heard Shi You’s words,
The middle-aged Taoist shook his head and couldn't help laughing:
"Brother Daoist Shi You, what you said made Pindao a little confused as to how to respond. Although Brother Dao is now under the disciples of his mentor, logically speaking, he should be called senior brother, and Pindao can accept it calmly. .
But after all, Taoist brother was extraordinary in his previous life. He entered Taoism even before Pindao, and his magical powers are powerful.
If senior brother says this, I will really feel ashamed..."
In today's Yuchen Fourth Courtyard.
Wei Daofu, He Lizi and Shi You are the most powerful and famous!
It is almost universally recognized by all the cultivators in the four courtyards.
The leader of this competition must be chosen from among these three people!
besides.
It’s hard to find someone else to choose from!
Compared with Wei Daofu and He Lizi, Shi You's background is different.
This man was not born in Xudu. In his early years, he was a great Arhat in Paradise. He was the master of a pure land. He had nearly a thousand temples and millions of monks under his command!
He is also a person with great supernatural powers, not an unknown person!
It was only during a trip to outer heaven that Shi You accidentally met a Shangzhen of the Yuchen sect, and argued with him for three years and three months. Finally, he was convinced by the Yuchen Shangzhen's wonderful words and gave up his teachings. , put aside the monk's clothes and put on the Taoist robe.
After getting the explanation from Yuchen Shangzhen, Shi You was reincarnated into Xudutian and started over again, discarding all the roots and fruits he cultivated in his previous life.
With this decisive move, he successfully entered the lower courtyard of Yuchen to practice Taoism, and even became a disciple of Yuchen Shangzhen.
And the middle-aged Taoist who was playing chess with him in front of him.
It was the second disciple of Yuchen Shangzhen.
Judging from the age of monks behind the entrance wall, it is natural for Shi You to call him senior brother.
"The Tao is restored to the Tao, and the mysterious is restored to the mysterious. The wheel of law always rotates on its own, but the sound of silence cannot be heard..."
at this time.
I heard the words of the middle-aged Taoist.
Shi You just shook his head, smiled slightly and said:
"It's all in the past, why do you bring it up, senior brother? The only person here now is Shi You, the Dongxuan refiner of Qingyang Academy, and not the master of Huaning Pure Land in Paradise.
Senior brother deserves this honorific. "
His voice paused for a moment, and he only looked at the distant Qingxiu Mountains, that hazy and green scene, and sighed with some sadness, saying:
"And the great road is hard to find. Today you will help me, and tomorrow I will help you. All the talk, isn't it all for the sake of enlightenment?
In the face of this...what does it mean if it's just some common courtesy? "
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged Taoist seemed to think of something, his face was somewhat moved, and he sighed, but was speechless.
"Undercurrents are surging among the universe, and the situation has become increasingly intense. Who is the driving force behind the scenes..."
Shi You thought of the few secret words spoken by the Yuchen Shangzhen, his current master, and he sighed with sadness:
"When fighting alone, no matter how powerful you are, you will eventually run out of energy and you will be unable to fight alone. Only when you have a powerful force behind you can you be mature and prudent.
And today's competition among the four courtyards is the first step for me, Shi You, to integrate into this Fangqian Ancient Immortal Sect! "
Thinking of this.
There was a burning light shooting out of his eyes, like a needle or a thorn, it was so majestic and breathtaking to watch!
Afterwards, he bowed his head to the middle-aged Taoist priest and exchanged a few words.
Shi You raised his hand to pinch it, and his figure turned into a plume of smoke, curled up into the clouds, and disappeared in an instant.
…
And in another realm.
After hearing the sound of the bell ringing, He Lizi raised his long eyebrows slightly with great interest.
He put down the tea cup in his hand, only lightly cupped his hands to the person in front of him, then stood up from the table and said:
"Senior Brother Cao Xi, we might as well discuss the so-called marriage later. Now that the competition is coming, I have serious business to attend to, so I won't accompany you."
"Dabi..."
Senior Brother Cao Xi was one of the top ten disciples in the previous term, and now he is already a veritable disciple of Yuchen, practicing in Xiaoming Daze.
He saw that He Lizi's expression was lukewarm, and now his eyes were even more undisguisedly perfunctory. He obviously knew that He Lizi was not too concerned about the marriage.
Although Cao Xi was quite displeased in his heart, after all, he had a profound skill in cultivating qi and kept a calm expression on his face.
Instead, he smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
After all, Yin Helizi is no better than others.
Not to mention this son’s teacher Gu Zhao, who now holds an important position in the sect and is a powerful elder with powerful methods!
Even He Lizi himself is by no means an easy person!
He cultivated the fifth realm of swordsmanship before he reached the age of Jiazi, and realized the two changes of the five realms: "Sword Qi Thunder Sound" and "Sword Light Differentiation".
He also used Dongxuan's body to attack Jindan and killed Wang Shu, who was once famous in the sect!
Face to face with such a distinguished person.
Although Cao Xi is higher than He Lizi in terms of status for the time being.
But he didn't dare to take it big, for fear of causing He Lizi's displeasure.
"The competition is about to begin. Since my junior brother still has business to attend to, Brother Yu will not bother you too much. I hope that my junior brother can win the battle and win the title of champion!"
At this time, Cao Xi stood up together.
He did not dare to neglect anything, returned the salute to He Lizi, and said:
"However, Wei Daofu and Shi You, both of whom are as famous as junior brothers, are probably also supernatural beings. When facing these two, you still need to be more careful."
"Are you as famous as me?"
He Lizi smiled slightly when he heard this.
"That's no longer the case after this big competition."
He shook his head slowly and said calmly.
…
And at the place where Zhongbo passes.
Except for Wei Daofu, Shi You and He Lizi.
In the four courtyards of Yuchen, people who wanted to go to participate in the competition all stood up at the same time and used their own methods to go straight to the direction of the bell.
Suddenly, thousands of escaping lights were seen dancing, breaking through the layers of strong wind, and soaring over the clouds.
Its colorful appearance is truly dazzling and pleasing to the eye.
Jinting Mountain, Lingyin Peak.
Chen Heng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, heard this sound and his eyes suddenly opened.
Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, his eyes were dark and clear, as quiet as fire, just as before.
But deep down in my heart, there was still a slight movement.
"Finally, I've been waiting for this moment..."
Chen Heng sighed, raised his sleeves slightly, stood up and walked out of the room. After exchanging a few words with Tu Shange, he jumped up and arrived in the sky.
In an instant, the body turned into a bright red rainbow. It only flashed and disappeared, and then suddenly broke into pieces of clouds and tore the atmosphere.
Like a shooting star catching up with the moon, it disappeared in place!
…
…
Half an hour later.
Chen Heng saw a sacred mountain towering between heaven and earth from a distance, then he slowly retracted his sword light and stopped at the top of the clouds.
Looking up, I can see green mountains, green clouds, and many towering cliff corners, like tigers and dragons crouching. From time to time, the sound of apes and cranes can be heard from all sides.
The ultramarine shines together in the sun and competes for glory, and the distant water and mountains compete with each other.
Bright and beautiful, it is truly a beautiful scene!
At this time, Chen Heng saw that the entire Qiyun Mountain was covered by a layer of hazy colored smoke. Although it was extremely thin, the mountain scenery could be clearly seen.
However, it is difficult to discern the detailed appearance of the figures on each peak.
And when we reach this point, if ordinary people still want to go forward, we will continue to move forward until we reach Qiyun Mountain.
From all directions, a majestic resistance will spread, restraining the body. The further forward, the greater the resistance force will be.
It has the power to shake mountains and prevent people from making any progress!
Chen Heng knew there must be something different, so he turned his gaze and looked down into the sky.
And soon, on a mound in the east, he saw tall reeds, hanging flowers and colorful flowers, and a dense fragrance.
Dozens of Taoist boys in feather clothes stood on the left and right, holding jade slips in their hands, as if they were waiting for someone.
At this time, I saw Chen Heng pressing his head.
On the mound, a Taoist boy in feathers with a smile on his face took the initiative to greet him, bowed his head and saluted, and said:
"Is this senior brother going to climb Qiyun Mountain to participate in the competition? Senior brother, I don't know, but the rules this time have been changed. It is no longer the difficult questions and answers like in previous competitions. You need to put some thought into it before you can get close. It’s at Qiyun Mountain.”
"Oh? The rules have changed?"
Chen Heng's expression changed slightly:
"Please ask this boy to teach me."
The boy in feather clothes was also happy to see Chen Heng's kind attitude.
He didn't talk nonsense, and spoke some words as his lips moved.
…
It turns out that in all previous competitions between the four houses, the masters and elders of the Yuchen sect would deliberately set some tests before they started.
This will eliminate those fools and prevent them from making jokes.
It is far from the fact that all disciples can come to Qiyun Mountain to participate in the competition at will as long as they are willing. They can come and go freely and come and go without any restrictions.
However, during previous competitions, there was only one elder Yuchen sitting in front of the mountain.
If the disciples want to go up the mountain to fight Dharma, they need to correctly answer a Taoist question thrown by the elder. Only by answering it correctly can they earn the qualification to go up the mountain.
However, this time, the content of the test has been changed. Elder Yuchen is no longer the one to set the test questions.
Instead, the disciples need to enter the big formation in person and defeat three of their fellow disciples who randomly appear in front of them one after another. They are also coming to participate in the competition.
Only after winning all three games and going through some mental illusions can one leave the formation and enter Qiyun Mountain.
But if the battle fails.
Even if you lose just one game, you need to start over and look for opportunities again.
A test like this is much more difficult than the difficult questions and answers.
As for it, I need to see the real chapter...
At this time, after hearing the boy in feathers explain the regulations in detail.
Chen Heng thanked him and without hesitation, he just walked towards the formation and disappeared in an instant.
His eyes were just in a daze for a moment, and then the world had quietly changed.
"It's interesting."
Chen Heng saw that there was a vast fog all around, and it was difficult to tell the difference between east, west, north and south, so he didn't waste much effort. He just relaxed his mind and followed the induction in the dark.
Not long after, the figure of a young man in blue appeared in the field of vision.
When their eyes met.
The boy in blue twitched his cheek, showing a bitter look.
"Chen...Junior Brother Chen? Have you reached the Dongxuan realm?"
He said helplessly:
"How could I meet you? It seems that this time is really unlucky!"
"I wonder who this senior brother is?"
Chen Heng said.
"I have heard of Junior Brother, but Junior Brother may not have heard of me... In addition to being ranked number one in the Dragon Palace Zi Mansion in the New Year Ping, if I want to compete with Junior Brother, I will be humiliating myself."
After a moment of silence, the young man in blue cupped his hands and said:
"Instead of doing this, it is better to keep it useful and try your luck with the fellow warriors below."
With one word, he took a step back, admitting his defeat and leaving the magic circle, and wanted to start over.
Chen Heng looked at this scene without comment and just continued to move forward.
After a while, he met a second girl in a pink skirt.
After just one move, the girl realized what was going on. She imitated the actions of the one in front of her and took the initiative to accept her defeat.
It wasn't until he got the third player that Chen Heng finally had a fight, but he easily won the game without any extra effort.
After winning three games in a row with ease, thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in front of us, heavy rain poured down, and the fire wheels started to spin and circle.
All kinds of disasters are approaching, dragging him into them, and seeming to easily smash him to pieces!
Facing this last illusion, Chen Heng remained calm and just sat cross-legged on the ground, keeping his mind firmly fixed without revealing anything.
Until an hour later, I saw that Chen Heng's mind was as solid as before, and it was difficult to shake it at all.
The illusion finally slowly dissipated and completely dissipated.
At this time, the sky and the earth in front of him were bright again. Chen Heng stood up with a flick of his sleeves and robe. He only took one step forward, and the smoke in front of him dispersed, covering up everything, and he walked out of the area covered by the magic circle. I can see the clear face of Qi Yunshan.
As soon as he came out of the formation and the magic formation was loosened, the surrounding spirits would inevitably roar into the sky, rumbling and echoing like the sea like the tide.
Everyone at the peak looked over with mixed expressions and mixed reactions.
"Chen Heng?"
At the top of a peak.
Wei Daofu looked at the young Taoist who was coming out of the battle, his eyes flashed inexplicably, and he said calmly.
unity
