When he went down to the underworld, Chu Chen had Tong Fu Guang and [True Lord Chongning Guan Yu] to guide him, and he easily arrived around the Guan Shuai Mansion in Fengdu Mountain.
However, going back this time will not be that easy.
After all, he has recruited more than two thousand Yin soldiers from Fengdu, all of whom came from the Netherworld. If he wants to bring them back to the earth, he must follow the formal process and hand over the "Dachang Xianting Customs Clearance Document" to the guard at Guimen Pass. The household registration of soldiers and horses was transferred to Dachang Xianting.
Speaking of which, Chu Chen's "procedures" were extremely complete. From the customs clearance documents from Dachang Xianting, the recruitment order, and the documents issued by Fengdu Guan Shuaifu, all the procedures were very formal.
However, when he left the Guimen Pass, he was still stopped by the Guimen Pass guard. As usual, he had to check his troops one by one to prevent evil spirits from being brought out of the country and causing trouble.
Chu Chen didn't care at all. He spent five days recruiting troops in the underworld. He didn't mind waiting for another day or two.
However, what he didn't expect was that the guards at Guimen Pass conducted extremely strict investigations.
It is said that it is because there has been a plague god in Fengdu Mountain recently that has violated the laws of heaven and ghosts. He is afraid that the ghosts of the plague will have remnants of their accomplices and escape from the underworld, so he is extremely strict with the ghosts who come in and out of the ghost gate. His soldiers and horses need to be isolated, and then again and again Screen once.
Under normal circumstances, if Chu Chen wanted to bring his two thousand Fengdu Yin soldiers out of the underworld, it would probably take him several months, or even longer.
Chu Chen had just assumed the post of deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and his master had recently gone into retreat and had great hopes of breaking through to the realm of great supernatural powers. How could he be willing to stay in the underworld for so long?
Just when he was in trouble and was thinking about whether he should go back to Fengdushan Pass Commander's Mansion to find someone to help him, someone from the gatekeeper of the ghost gate gave him "advice."
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
After spending 500,000 jade, Chu Chen's troops passed the investigation the next day and let him out.
"Senior brother, in my opinion, they are not looking for plague ghosts. They clearly want benefits and ask for rewards."
The little ghost was very angry. No one knows how to ask for rewards better than it. It could see the little thoughts of the guard at Guimen Pass at a glance, and said angrily and distressedly:
"They are so dark. They asked for half a million jade coins at the first opening. How much spiritual incense should they get!"
"Haha~"
Chu Chen smiled indifferently, feeling clear in his heart.
The little ghost has a simple mind, but many times, it can often reveal the essence of the matter in one sentence.
Where is the investigation of the plague ghost's accomplices? The gatekeeper of the ghost gate just wants to give him a blow.
It made sense, so he still paid for it.
Although he can go to Guan Shuai's Mansion to say something, he may have to come to the underworld to recruit soldiers in the future, and this is not a one-time deal.
If we don't take care of it, I'm afraid there will be troublemakers next time. We can't go to Guan Shuaifu again and again to owe favors.
"The king of hell is easy to mess with, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. People in the world will never bully me."
Chu Chen sighed secretly, and led his soldiers, horses, and little ghosts out of the ghost gate. He did not stay in the Nine Netherland for a long time, and turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
Yunzhou, Yuqin Mountain.
After returning to Hedog Cave, Chu Chen summoned the backbone of the monsters from the [Mutual Aid Association], informed Lao Liu about the retreat, and temporarily took over the [Mutual Aid Association].
After some instructions, he hurried to the Qingchen Cave outside Yuqin County, wanting to see how his master was doing in seclusion.
Compared with Lao Liu who had achieved enlightenment through tribulation and achieved a breakthrough in the realm of great supernatural powers, Chu Chen had more confidence in his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
Taoist Master Xu Ping has gone through hardships, accumulated profound knowledge, and has a perseverance in his Taoism. As long as he has the opportunity and good fortune, he will be very promising.
"Brother, go back quickly."
The little devil kept urging him, criticizing his master from time to time. At this moment, he was more anxious than anyone else.
"Hahaha~"
Chu Chen smiled loudly and raised his foot.
Shrink to an inch!
In an instant, he disappeared into Crane Dog Cave.
The entire Yuqin Mountain seemed to have shrunk, and it appeared again as the Qingchen Cave Mansion on the outskirts of Yuqin County.
"Zhenyi (Jiro)!"
Chu Chen's appearance made a great noise, and three figures soon appeared outside the cave.
It was Taoist Fu Hua, Taoist Fu Ling, and Qing Ying.
The three of them were protecting Taoist Xu Ping, and when they saw Chu Chen coming from the void, they all looked shocked.
Although Qingying knew Chu Chen, she did not see the origin of this magical power for a while. However, Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Fu Ling on the side recognized it, and they were all stunned:
"Zhenyi, do you really have the magical power of [shrinking the ground into an inch]?"
"That's right! My disciple was lucky. He killed an ancient god's clone and took away its original orb to temper his body and strengthen his physical body. Only then did he achieve the super-level method [Leg Yuan Jun] and awaken the great magical power of [Shrink the Earth to an Inch]! "
Chu Chen smiled, refined himself into the [Earth Letter Seal], used his great military power to kill Shen Jian, went to Qingzhou, and roughly talked about the matter of obtaining the transformation magic weapon [Shangqing Golden Lotus Crown].
Taoist brothers Fu Hua and Fu Ling were excited when they heard this.
The younger disciples of the Lingshan sect are basically all proficient in [borrowing ground and adding steps].
However, there are not many people in the history of the Lingshan Sect who have developed the great magical power of "Borrowing Ground and Adding Steps" to "Shrinking Ground to an Inch".
The only few master-level figures have all entered the upper third rank.
At present, although Chu Chen has not broken through to the upper third-level realm, he has learned [shrinking the ground into an inch], and his life-saving methods are extraordinary.
Not to mention, there is also the magic weapon of transformation [Golden Lotus Crown of the Supreme Purity] and the soldiers and horses that accompany him to protect him. Even for a third-level expert, it is not easy to kill Chu Chen.
"Hahaha, God bless my Lingshan. The resurgence of our Lingshan is unstoppable!"
Taoist Fu Ling touched his goatee and looked a little excited.
Taoist Fu Hua on the side also nodded repeatedly and said:
"I heard Yunshui say a few days ago that Zhenyi has offended the Dragon and Tiger Emperors of the Qingyou Demon Realm. I was still a little worried, but now I can finally feel more at ease."
"Master and uncle, don't worry, the Dragon and Tiger Emperors can't do anything to me."
Chu Chen smiled, quite calm and confident.
At the level of a third-grade strong person, the range between strength and weakness is huge.
Not to mention that he only has a fourth-grade Taoist cultivation level. Even if Chu Chen breaks through to the third-grade Taoist level one day, he would not dare to look down on anyone who is above the third-grade Taoist level.
However, he was quite confident only against the Dragon and Tiger Emperors.
After all, he possesses the true magical power of subduing dragons and subduing tigers, which is perfect for restraining them, especially the Qingyan Dragon King. A few years ago, the descendants of the innate dragon had their physical bodies destroyed and their magical powers plummeted.
It's a pity that the size of the accompanying troops is limited.
It would be great if he could carry tens of thousands of high-level soldiers and horses with him. Possessing Taoist and magical powers, he would probably be the head of the Eight Departments of the Demonic Academy, with the same level of strength as governor of each state and state pastor, and he would be considered the best among upper-level third-level experts. He also has the great magical power of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, so he can shout and kill the dragon and tiger emperors.
However, all this can only be thought about.
Based on Chu Chen's Taoist cultivation and weapon refining skills, three thousand soldiers and horses is more reasonable. Any more would affect his normal practice.
As for making offerings with jade money and incense, the cost would be even greater, so don’t even think about it.
Recruiting 2,000 fourth- and fifth-grade soldiers and horses alone cost him fifteen million jade, and many great supernatural powers did not have that much in total.
His net worth is quite rich, and his weapon refining method has the bonus of Heart Temple and Sleeping Pill Skill. The number of soldiers and horses he maintains has reached an astonishing number of 3,000. An ordinary direct disciple of Guigu can only have at most 3,000 soldiers and horses with him. A few hundred, far less than him.
In most cases, the disciples of Guigu lineage have to second the soldiers and horses of Guigu Ancestral Court or Immortal Court to truly demonstrate the unique skills of Guigu military strategist.
However, techniques similar to "shaking people" are suitable for taking the initiative and setting up the formation in advance. It is not as practical as adapting to changes with troops and horses at hand.
Of course, Chu Chen did not say much about the details, but looked at the Qingchen Cave in the mountain and asked:
"How is my master doing now?"
"Master Xu is in good condition."
Qingying knew Chu Chen best, so it was not surprising that her magical powers would advance further. When Chu Chen asked about Xu Ping, she became interested, and her face was full of joy:
"Erlang, I heard Dali Huzi say that two days ago, he saw a golden light rising into the sky and a glow blooming in the cave. After hearing the news, I immediately came out of seclusion and rushed over to protect Master Xu."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Fu Ling nodded their heads in excitement:
"Yes, this is indeed the case. The details depend on your master's destiny."
When Chu Chen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
When he broke through to the realm of great supernatural powers, he practiced super-level methods and experienced epiphany, and then he broke through before the battle. Once the heart king was angry, the soul appeared, and the demons were overthrown, and even the inner demons and external demons did not block his way, he Breaking through the realm of great supernatural powers.
However, this is a special case.
On the one hand, there is the reason for his sudden breakthrough before the battle, and on the other hand, there is also the reason why he possesses the "Red Dragon Demon Son".
Under normal circumstances, it is not that fast to break through the realm of great supernatural powers.
Meditation, a little bit of enlightenment, a little bit of transformation, these are the most common manifestations of breakthroughs in the realm of great supernatural powers.
And "golden light soaring into the sky, glow filling the house" is one of the visions that breaks through the realm of great supernatural powers.
In other words, Master Xu Ping has sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough. Not only is it a sure thing to break through to the realm of great supernatural powers, it is also very promising.
"Senior brother, sister Ying'er, two masters, master, he...wuwuwuwu~"
The little ghost wanted to say something, but fortunately, Chu Chen had quick eyes and quick hands. He covered the little ghost's mouth and sealed his consciousness with the power of his soul, making it unable to speak or transmit sounds.
Qingying, Fu Hua and Fu Ling couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
However, the three of them quite agreed with Chu Chen's approach. Although the method was a bit rough, they all knew the power of the little devil's "following his words".
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Although Xu Ping does have an opportunity to break through now, the biggest obstacle to breaking through to the realm of great supernatural powers is "the devil blocking the way."
Under normal circumstances, if inner demons breed, they will attract demons from outside the territory to descend from the void outside the territory and take advantage of fire to rob them, passing through their cultivation base and devouring their bodies.
If the cultivation level is taken away by the demon outside the territory, the breakthrough will be in vain and all the previous efforts will be wasted.
There is no complete breakthrough yet, and everything is full of unknowns.
"Master Xu has perfected [Hunyuan Xuan Gong], step by step, overcoming thorns and thorns, and accumulated a lot. Others are afraid of the devil blocking the way. Master Xu must regard it as nothing. This time he will be able to accumulate a lot and make a breakthrough!"
Qingying knew about Taoist Xu Ping's cultivation past and had full confidence in him.
When Chu Chen heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
Others don't know, but he knows that his master is a very decent person. He is obviously proficient in the whole set of [Dijinji], but he has never used [Golden Lotus Planted in Fire] to improve his Taoist cultivation through the method of dual cultivation, but chooses to practice hard on his own. , one step at a time.
His master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, is similar to Chu Chen. He has an upright character.
After thinking about this, Chu Chen clarified his thoughts and was full of confidence in his master's breakthrough, and immediately said:
"Yes, Master's Taoist heart is firm, so there will be no inner demons."
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but as soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, a deafening thunder sounded in the sky.
"Boom!"
A purple thunder struck down from the sky and landed over Qingchen Cave.
After the earth-shaking thunder fell, an obscure aura was born in the Qingchen Cave, and there was a vague billowing of demonic energy coming down.
"This is."
"Woooooo~"
The little kid quickly broke away from Chu Chen's big hand and was very angry:
"I just wanted to say that the master has the aura of disaster in him."
Chu Chen, Qingying, Fu Hua, and Fu Ling were shocked when they heard this, and the group quickly opened the ban on Qingchen Cave and took a peek inside.
They couldn't see the formation restrictions in Xu Ping's retreat room.
However, outside the practice clean room, they vaguely saw waves of crimson demonic energy overflowing from the practice clean room, and there were waves of faint sounds, as if it was not a pure place for Taoists to meditate, but like a street of flowers and willow alleys. The hot breath makes people feel hot and blush.
On the other side, Chu Chen looked surprised, secretly embarrassed after being slapped in the face.
He had just lamented that his master was an upright person. Although he was proficient in [Di Jin Ji], he did not abuse it. He had the demeanor of a disciple like him.
However, the master broke through the realm of great supernatural powers, and inner demons grew, attracting extraterrestrial demons who were good at charming and magical powers.
what does that mean?
Chu Chen looked strange and murmured in his heart.
"Master, you seem to be a bit unruly. You have never really used the [Golden Lotus Planted in the Fire] in [Dijinji]."
On the other side, Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Fu Ling also looked at each other with wonderful expressions on their faces.
Others don't know the details of Xu Ping, but they know it very well.
At the beginning, when Xu Ping was taught, the Lingshan sect had not undergone major changes, and the methods he taught were all the same as those of Lao Lingshan.
As a direct disciple, Xu Ping has learned a complete set of [Dijinji], without any secret door, without any compromise.
There is no reason not to see blood when you are armed with a murderous weapon.
When Masters Fu Hua and Fu Ling saw this scene, they knew it and cursed secretly in their hearts.
"Bad boy!"
Despite Yunshui's thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is serious, but in fact he is dishonest and secretly practiced [Growing Golden Lotus in the Fire].
In fact, it's okay to practice the Lingshan sect [Growing Golden Lotus in the Fire]. Just like Fu Hua and Fu Ling, they are both proficient in this method, and they did not encounter powerful inner demons when they broke through.
I am afraid that I am like Xu Ping, who made up his mind not to practice, but failed to persist, resulting in a lack of harmony in the Taoist heart, leaving flaws.
Qingying on the side didn't know anything about it. When she saw this scene, she was a little surprised:
"Succubus! How could Master Xu attract an extraterrestrial demon who is proficient in the magical power of charm? I think Master Xu is an upright man and not close to women. How could he attract a succubus? This is really strange."
When Chu Chen, Fu Hua and Fu Ling heard this, they felt embarrassed and guilty:
"this"
PS: I went to the hospital for a checkup, but nothing was found. It was mainly because I didn’t have a good rest, which shocked me. There will be another chapter in the evening.
