"This way..." Luo Xiaohan pointed towards a bamboo shoot-like mountain below and continued: "Originally, Senior Brother Lin led the team on that mission. But just when he was about to walk out of the mountain gate, he was attacked by the leader. According to the order, Senior Brother Lin was transferred to another place, and Senior Brother Chen was asked to lead the team."
"Senior Brother Chen?"
An order from the head? Senior Brother Chen?
When Lin Ji heard this, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
The real name of Taiyi leader Gu Hongzhen is Chen Xiaoqi!
"That's right!" Luo Xiaohan replied: "The Taiyi Sect has been established for thousands of years, and there are countless geniuses. But there are not many people like Senior Brother Chen, who originally had mediocre qualifications, but managed to cultivate into the Tao with amazing perseverance! And the method he practices seems to be a little different from ours."
"Oh?" Lin Jiqi said, "Please tell me in detail."
"Yes." Luo Xiaohan nodded in response: "It is said that when Senior Brother Chen first entered the mountain gate, not to mention that he could not get the attention of the elders of the inner sect, even the elders of the outer sect looked down upon him. He almost lost his place with the others. He hurried down the mountain. It happened that at that time, a few apprentices from the miscellaneous house accidentally fell and injured themselves while going up the mountain to cut firewood. The steward uncle left a few people behind. Among them was Senior Brother Chen."
"Senior Brother Chen originally didn't have any talent for cultivating immortals, so he could only work as a servant, fetching water and cutting firewood. The others had long accepted their fate and just treated it as a job to make ends meet. Once the prescribed amount was completed, there was no need to hide. To be lazy is to wander around.”
"But Senior Brother Chen always practiced the basic skills from dawn to dusk. For seven years in a row, he didn't even have the slightest sense of Qi. At that time, the whole mountain thought he was a fool, and couldn't stop himself every time they saw him. Laughing loudly. But who would have thought that after practicing like this day after day for nineteen years, he would finally be able to master the Mingtang!"
"It's that hut!" Lin Ji pointed far away in the direction of the broken root, and then his figure floated closer.
"The Heavenly Official also knows that the most important thing in our practice of Taiyi is talent. As soon as you get started, you can see the upper limit. That's why several masters are so happy. But Senior Brother Chen's method is very different from ours. , he was just an ordinary person at the beginning, and could not enter the path of cultivation throughout his life, but he was forced to cultivate one!"
"Although Senior Brother Chen started his career early, he is now nearly forty. However, it has only been a year since he embarked on the path of cultivation. If he continues to practice at this pace in a few more years, I am afraid he will already be invincible under Master!"
"Then what?" Lin Ji turned around and asked.
"White Glow Sword." Luo Xiaohan inspected it closely and explained to Lin Ji, "This is Senior Brother Bai's ancestral sword. That year, the Bai family was wiped out, and only one loyal slave rushed out with all his might, covering his body with wounds. Senior Brother Bai was sent to Taiyi Sect, and then he bled to death. Senior Brother Bai regards the sword as his life and never leaves his body."
"Tianguan, look." Luo Xiaohan pointed to the footprints and said, "These are the boot marks of Taiyi Sect. They should be left by Senior Brother Lin and the others."
Lin Ji nodded and led him down into the air, walking straight ahead along the rugged path.
"Since the example of Senior Brother Chen, not to mention other inner and outer disciples, even the servants who were just waiting to die have been practicing hard. Now Senior Brother Chen has already become a model of diligence! With the unique talent, Senior Brother Lin and the experienced Senior Sister Zhong were jointly named as the Three Elites of Taiyi by their fellow disciples who were sent abroad."
"Yes." Lin Ji nodded and said, "They took a corpse to check the details, but then they suddenly found something and ran away before they could bury it." Lin Ji said, clicking on the few words that were just The forefoot fell, but it made a very deep mark in the soil. He then pointed to a half-cut root and said, "Moreover, not only did it happen suddenly, but it was also very critical. At least one person drew his sword in a panic. The direction of this sword's light..."
Needless to say, Lin Ji also noticed that there was a giant willow tree lying in the mountain pass in front of him.
The big tree was uprooted, and the huge roots thicker than a person's waist danced wildly like dragons, and a huge deep hole was forcibly pulled out of the ground beside it.
When I got closer, I saw that the big tree had been hollowed out for a long time. The huge tree hole was very spacious, enough for more than a dozen people to drink around the table.
The hut was built on the hillside at the end of the village. The back wall was connected to the mountain stone, and the other three sides were made of bluestones the size of millstones. There were no windows around it, and there was only a small door that only allowed half-body entrance. Not far from the door, there was indeed a brand new sword mark.
The half close to the ground is dark and bald and faintly shining, while the other half is like a forest of branches, with tens of thousands of them. It's just that they have all dried up, and they are pointing to the sky.
On the flat ground opposite the deep pit, there was a corpse that had been torn apart by a sharp sword, and there were a few slightly scattered footprints in the soft soil.
A rough estimate showed that it was at least a dozen feet thick. If it stood up, it would be as high as a hundred feet tall.
There were hundreds of corpses piled messily at the bottom of the pit, and all of them, men, women, old and young, had their heads chopped off, but the whereabouts of the hundreds of heads had long since disappeared.
"That day was the Taiyi Sect's establishment ceremony. All the servants, disciples, elders of each house and even several masters were present. After the master finished speaking, the huge bell rang. At this time, a dazzling red suddenly appeared from the crowd. Guang, everyone turned around and saw that it was Senior Brother Chen. Tianguan, Juliu Village is right down here..."
"Not long ago, Senior Brother Xu disappeared inexplicably. The position of Taiyi Disciple has always been vacant. The head master announced on the spot that he would be an exception and accept him as a closed disciple! Then, in just half a year, he broke through again and again! In the competition last month, he defeated Quan Shan! If it weren’t for Senior Sister Zhong who has been working in the Tiantian Division for many years and has rich combat experience, she would have almost been defeated by him!"
"At that time, Senior Brother Chen's red light was dazzling, and a powerful pressure shot straight into the sky. Master Jinghong rushed over to suppress the cloud, and when he checked his physique again, he was shocked. Then the two masters Luo Hong and the leader also I checked them all carefully, and my face was full of joy."
Lin Ji frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "It's indeed interesting! If you have free time, you should meet him!"
"After the competition last month, Senior Brother Chen has been sealed and retreated. Maybe he will be born again...here it is! Tianguan, look, that is Juliu Village."
Lin Ji glanced at him and said suddenly: "In the competition last month, where did this person rank?"
"Sixth." Luo Xiaohan recalled: "When it comes to Taiyi Kung Fu, Senior Brother Bai is still a little behind in getting started, but his swordsmanship is extremely fierce and brave, and he often has the skill of risking one's life and dying together. Many senior brothers do not dare to I competed with him on the same stage. In the final round of the battle, I was defeated by Senior Sister Zhong."
Lin Ji thought: "Fighting one's life together to die? That's right, the Bai family's ruthless sword has always been like this. If he is really a side branch of the Bai family, then the tragedy of annihilation was probably directed and staged by himself. In order to complete the truth, he would not hesitate to kill his relatives. Gu Zheng is the ruthless Dao Yun. But how could Zhong Ling, the daughter of the Spirit Master, not know this? It is reasonable to be defeated by her."
"Where's the one named Luo? What's his rank?" Lin Ji seemed to ask casually and walked towards the house.
