There was no one in the room, except for a few carved sandalwood chairs placed in the front.
With a creak, the door slowly opened. Clear light poured in from the outside and shone in the main hall.
A figure gently closed the door, stepped into the room slowly, stopped, and there was no more movement.
The main hall did not become more angry due to the sudden addition of one person, it was still gloomy and depressing.
This figure suddenly noticed something and frowned slightly.
There were stains of blood scattered on the ground, little by little, as many as one piece. What kind of blood is this? The figure observed it for a long time before confirming that it was human blood.
He deduced that someone had died in this house, and more than one. This is the land of Immortals, why is there such a place? The man suddenly thought of something and his eyes flickered.
This person is Chu Cheng. He was led into this room just now by an inner disciple, saying that Elder Xia was waiting inside, but there was clearly no one here.
"There are reward and punishment halls for both outer disciples and inner disciples. It seems that this is the punishment hall, but why on earth do you want me to come here? And how many criminal disciples have been punished and killed by this law enforcement hall?" Chu Cheng murmured. , and continued to think.
"It stands to reason that only disciples who commit crimes will be brought here, but I just came to Luo Yun Sect not long ago, and I haven't violated any of the sect rules, not even the one about not bathing in the stream."
"Is it because he injured Mo Ji? Do you have to be punished for fighting with people from other sects?" Chu Cheng immediately threw this aside. Ouyang Xiu didn't say anything at that time, so it must not be This is it.
Although the four immortal sects are all righteous, there will be some friction between each sect, so there are still frequent fights among the disciples of each sect.
High-level sects will also open one eye and close the other, which can also temper their disciples. If the interests of the sect are involved, even the higher-ups will fight with other senior sects.
Chu Cheng looked calm, stood with his hands behind his back, and waited quietly.
After a stick of incense. There was still no one in the house.
Chu Cheng's expression remained calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking at the moment. But inside, there are hundreds of thousands of ants crawling on the pot.
What on earth is going on? Why did you ask him to come to a place like this? Even though he was not frightened when he saw the blood on the ground, he couldn't show any timidity, and he had to pretend that tens of thousands of people had died. What? I have seen more!
This was the highest state of Chu Cheng's pretense in his previous life. It was inevitable that he would meet some awesome people when he went out, but as long as he pretended to be indifferent, the other party would definitely have some scruples. For example, if a second-generation official says that his father is the county magistrate, what does it mean if you pretend to be a county magistrate? I want to act like my uncle is the municipal party committee and my grandpa is the provincial party committee.
Chu Cheng was sure that someone must be watching him in the house, and he vaguely felt that there were eyes watching him in the house.
"No way? Do you know I have cigarettes on me?" Chu Cheng thought in his heart, but immediately denied it. He had never taken out a cigarette outside, and even if he took it out to others, he wouldn't know what it was, right?
With this thought in his mind, Chu Cheng felt relieved and secretly thought that he was too surprised.
It’s not his fault. Any outer disciple would have been frightened when he came to the Punishment Hall. This is a place that is said to be a place where you won’t die and your skin will peel off if you go in.
"It seems that Elder Xia has something to do temporarily. I'll come back tomorrow. I guess Elder Xia will not blame me for anything given his magnanimous opinion."
Chu Cheng thought for a while, muttered and turned around to leave.
"You...are Chu Cheng?"
At this moment, a voice finally sounded in the room.
Chu Cheng smiled inwardly, saying that he wanted to leave just to force Elder Xia out, but his face was very frightened, as if hearing this voice was like encountering a ghost.
"Urgent as the law dictates! Get rid of the demons and monsters quickly!" After saying that, he took out a broken talisman, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Haha, you little guy is quite interesting. I am Xia Feizhou." The voice was so close that it reached Chu Cheng's ears.
Chu Cheng sneered in his heart, he naturally knew that this was Elder Xia's voice.
"Elder Xia, why didn't I see you?" Chu Cheng looked around, but indeed he didn't see you.
"I have been watching you for a long time." Elder Xia said quietly.
Chu Cheng was shocked. Sure enough, his intuition was right. He felt that someone was staring at him, but why did he keep looking at him? Could it be that Elder Xia is as good as Long Yang, and he has some ideas because of his handsomeness?
When he thought of this, Chu Cheng felt a chill in his heart and secretly thought something was wrong.
"Chu Cheng, I have been behind this wind screen."
"Wind screen?" Chu Cheng was stunned and did see a wind screen. When he thought about it, the elders in the sect were all liquid condensation monks, and they always stood with their hands on each other in the opening ceremony, with their backs to the back. Or he could sit on a chair and walk over to take a look, only to see Elder Xia resting there.
Elder Xia walked out from behind the wind screen, glanced at Chu Cheng, and said calmly: "The fourth level of Qi gathering is not bad."
Chu Cheng was stunned, how could he still see his own cultivation level? He had never known about this before, so how could Mo Ji fail to see his own cultivation level and underestimate the enemy?
But he didn't know that Qi Gathering cultivators certainly couldn't see the same level of cultivation. Only after building the foundation, one could vaguely see the early, middle and late stages of Qi Gathering cultivators, and it became even more clear when reaching Condensation Liquid.
"When did you start practicing?" Xia Changzhou asked.
"Reporting to Elder Xia, this disciple started practicing three years ago." Naturally, Chu Cheng would not directly say that it had only been six months. This was too shocking, and even he himself was confused all the way to the fourth level. Are the qualifications good? No, Chu Cheng knew how poor his qualifications were when he opened his spirit. It was all because of that cigarette and watching the moonlit picture at night. So once you let others know that you have extremely poor qualifications but practice so quickly, you will definitely be suspected of possessing a strange treasure.
Therefore, Chu Cheng deliberately extended it for three years.
"Three years? To be able to practice to the third level of Qi Gathering in a place like Huang Country, and to reach the fourth level in just a few days in the sect, is a rare occurrence in a hundred years."
Xia Changzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Then your spiritual roots must be excellent. I wonder what your spiritual roots are?"
"This..." Chu Cheng was stunned. How could he know what kind of spiritual root he had? Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth all had corresponding colors, but he was gray with black. Could it be said that he had a gray-black spiritual root?
"I happen to have a spiritual stone here. Come and test it now." Before Chu Cheng could think of what to say, Xia Changzhou had already taken out a spiritual stone.
Chu Cheng was shocked, could it really be known? Although he didn't know what kind of magic weapon this smoke was, he could tell by looking at the moonlight picture at night that it must be extraordinary. If it was taken away like this, it would definitely be extraordinary. It is unwilling to give in.
"What?" Xia Changzhou snorted coldly and pointed forward.
Chu Cheng only felt an amazing suction pulling him away, and his hand touched the open spirit stone.
Wow, the Kailing Stone suddenly burst into light!
Chu Cheng was frightened and angry at this time, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, very powerless.
"Huh?" Xia Changzhou said softly.
The suction force dissipated with this light sigh, Chu Cheng got rid of it, took a step back, and was stunned when he saw Kai Ling.
There is a dazzling light in the Kailing Stone, and the colors inside are very bright. The color is like gold and deep red. If I were to name one color, it would be red gold.
Chu Cheng was stunned, knowing that he used to have gray mixed spiritual roots, how could he turn into red gold.
"Mutated spiritual roots? But this is the first time I have seen such a pure color. It is indeed a rare talent seen in a hundred years." Xia Changzhou praised, guessing that it should be the combination of fire spiritual roots and golden spiritual roots. The two are originally meant to attack. I'm afraid it will be even more fierce!
Xia Changzhou stared at Chu Cheng and said with a smile: "What kind of moves can Master Chu's nephew use in his battle with the disciples of the Ziyan Sect?"
Here comes the point!
"Moves?" Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It turned out that he was only here for the moves, not for his cigarettes.
"Reporting to Elder Xia, the disciple used the fireball technique, sword light and shadow, and the Seven Jumping Techniques."
"Seven Jumping to the Sky?" Xia Changzhou's eyes lit up when he heard the Seven Jumping to the Sky. Fireball and Sword Light and Shadow were just ordinary techniques, but the Seven Jumping to the Sky was described by the disciple as at least a yellow-level top-grade technique. It was very likely that it was a mysterious technique. class! He also asked Xie Feng to ask, and it was indeed the case.
That’s why Chu Cheng was called over to take away this skill!
Xuan-level skills are treasures of the Luoyun Sect. Except for the Supreme Elder, only the previous sect leaders can read them. If you get this skill, your strength will definitely increase greatly!
Xia Changzhou chuckled, and when Chu Cheng went out to perform his mission, he secretly intercepted him and captured the skill. If an outer disciple dies, no one will notice him. Even his sworn brother Ouyang Xiu will definitely not think of him.
Even if he guessed it, Ouyang Xiu couldn't say anything without any evidence. Besides, with his peak cultivation level in the early stage of liquid condensation, he was not afraid of a small core disciple.
If it were Ouyang Xiu back then, how much more scruples would he still have!
Just as Xia Changzhou was about to speak, he suddenly saw the broken talisman in Chu Cheng's hand.
"Yellow level talisman!" Xia Changzhou was stunned and stared at Chu Cheng's hand. After a while, he asked: "Master Nephew Chu, do you have this talisman?"
"Oh, the talisman was damaged because I took it back in order to achieve a surprise effect during the duel with the ink mark. It should be able to be used again." Chu Cheng wondered why Elder Xia was interested in this low-level talisman.
Xia Changzhou's mouth twitched, and he secretly thought that this kid was squandering natural resources. A low-grade yellow-level talisman can withstand a full blow from a foundation-building cultivator, and a mid-grade talisman can withstand a perfect strike from a foundation-building cultivator. What's more, this is a high-grade yellow-level talisman! Currently, among the four immortal sects, only the Great Elder of the Talisman Array Sect refines yellow-level high-grade talismans.
At this moment, Xia Changzhou seemed to have seen a ghost and heard Chu Cheng say something.
"Elder Xia? Are you interested in this talisman? I can give you one." Chu Cheng took out a talisman from his arms.
Xia Changzhou took the talisman and looked at it carefully for a moment. Sure enough, this is a top-grade yellow-level product!
"Master Nephew Chu, where did your talisman come from?" Elder Xia put the talisman into the storage bag and saw that Chu Cheng's face was calm and he didn't care at all.
"This talisman was given to me by a senior." Chu Cheng thought for a moment and then said, "If Elder Xia wants it, I can ask for more when the disciple has time."
"..." Xia Changzhou's eyes widened. How come yellow-level high-grade talismans are like giving away fruits to the boy, giving them in piles? Could it be...
Before Xia Changzhou could finish his thoughts, Chu Cheng said again: "By the way, Elder Xia! The seven sky-jumping postures were also learned by that senior."
"Pfft!" Xia Changzhou almost spit, who is he? A yellow-level high-grade talisman and a mysterious-level skill are given as a gift.
Xia Changzhou asked hurriedly: "Master Nephew Chu, what is the cultivation level of the person you are talking about?"
At this time, Chu Cheng thought that at first Elder Xia treated him like a little lamb that could be pinched easily, and his pretentious attitude rose again.
"Reporting to Elder Xia, I don't know what kind of cultivation my senior has."
Xia Changzhou was just starting to think about it in his mind, but when he heard the next sentence, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"The disciple only remembers that the day before leaving for Luoyun Sect, the senior turned into a soul and came out to find me, saying that he would accept me as his direct disciple after I learned the first five of the Seven Jumping Moves."
Chu Cheng added: "What the disciple said is wrong. It should not be that the soul left the body, but a baby similar to the senior's body."
"Pfft!" Xia Changzhou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Just now, he was still thinking about how to find that person to perform the seizing technique. If he went there, even if he was a hundred, he wouldn't be able to come back! Nascent Soul...that person must be a Nascent Soul cultivator! Even if all the golden elixir monks and liquid condensation monks in the Four Immortal Sects take action at the same time, they will still be destroyed by the Nascent Soul monks!
There is the legendary Yuanying old monster in Qingzhou! But it had not been born for at least eight hundred years, and yet he actually set his sights on the powerful Nascent Soul! This is really seeking death!
Xia Changzhou was secretly glad that he asked Chu Cheng more questions today.
