Chapter 494 Xiang Qianqiu Appears!
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Jingtai sat upright with a calm expression, holding a book with a red cover in his hand, as if he was looking for something very seriously, he put it down slowly after a long time, and let out a long breath of foul air.
Outside, after the report, Cao Zhengxian walked into the imperial study with a solemn face, bowed to Jingtai, clasped his fists and said:
"The veteran sees Your Majesty."
"How's it going?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, a memorial has been sent from the governor of Shuzhou, and the monsters of the Wusheng Sect set off another blood sacrifice, and nearly ten thousand people died. I implore Your Majesty to send powerful men from the court to hunt down these monsters."
Jingtai frowned and scolded:
"I knew how to ask for help. How did Shuzhou State Shepherd work? How did Shuzhou Golden Envoy work!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The whereabouts of those monsters of the Wusheng Sect are indeed too strange. According to the capabilities of the Shuzhou government, it may be quite difficult to track them down."
Jingtai snorted coldly:
"I don't want to hear any excuses."
"Yes."
"Pass down my oral order and order Xun Tiansi to transfer two more grandmasters to cooperate with the Shuzhou government to capture the Wusheng Cult demon."
"Your Majesty, did you send an envoy to sit in the town?"
Jingtai raised his hand:
"This matter is not urgent, the envoys of the Sky Survey Division still have important responsibilities."
"The veteran obeys the order."
"How is Chen Yuan?" Suddenly, Jingtai changed his voice and asked.
"According to the news from the Imperial Superintendent, at noon today, Chen Yuan had already left the capital to take up his post in Liangzhou." Cao Zhengxian reported the information truthfully.
"Um."
"When I sent someone to pass the word of mouth, I ordered the governor to come to the Imperial Garden. I have important matters to discuss with him."
"Yes."
"Okay, step back, I'm tired."
"The old minister resigns."
Cao Zhengxian bowed slightly, and quickly exited the imperial study.
Jingtai narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the red books on the desk.
Albatron View.
The old temple master lay leisurely on the recliner and looked at a roll of bamboo slips, as if he was very serious, but if he got closer, he could see that the bamboo slips in his hand were obviously wordless.
Suddenly, the old priest frowned slightly, as if he had sensed something, he said calmly:
"Since His Royal Highness is here, why don't you show up?"
"Old guy, you are still so sharp, and you have improved your cultivation base."
In front of him, the void suddenly began to distort, and a fuzzy face of nothingness slowly appeared, very abrupt, but at the same time very harmonious with the nearby void.
The old temple master slowly put down the bamboo slips, stared at the face in front of him, his expression gradually became serious, and said in a deep voice:
"His Royal Highness, the crown prince, has improved a lot in cultivation. I haven't seen him for decades, but he has reached such a level. I am ashamed of myself."
"Humph."
The man snorted softly.
"How did His Royal Highness find this Qingyun Temple?"
The old priest asked with a slight frown.
He used some means to cover up the secrets of the heavens, but unexpectedly he was found by this person.
"This seat has its own means, so what is a little secret cover?"
"Then I don't know why His Highness the Crown Prince is looking for poverty? He did not hesitate to risk his life and death, and rashly entered the capital. If the Sima family noticed it,
I'm afraid I can't even leave if I want to. "
The old temple master asked curiously. He felt that he had nothing to do with the members of the Xiang family. When he helped the Sima family to divide the body, Taixu Palace also watched from the sidelines.
"Heh, this city of Shenjing originally belonged to the Xiang family. Am I afraid that someone will notice when I come in?" The man replied, as if he had no fear here.
The old Guanzhu just smiled and didn't say much.
If the other party is really not afraid of the Sima family, why not come in person? I am afraid that the aboveboard rebellion has already begun.
"Who would have thought that Taixu Palace, one of the ten great immortal sects, has been reduced to such a point that even the Supreme Master can only hide in the capital."
Old Guanzhu was not angry, but said:
"His Royal Highness is here to say these useless nonsense?"
"I am here to ask you to help me refine a strange treasure."
"His Royal Highness asks for help, is that the attitude? What if the poor don't agree?" The old temple master stared indifferently at the blurred face in front of him.
"I don't agree, hehe. There is nothing I can't do that Xiang Qianqiu wants to do. Tianxu is an old man, are you sure you want to reject this seat's request?"
The fuzzy face in the void chuckled lightly, as if it had decided to eat him.
The old temple master frowned, feeling a little bad:
"What do you want to do?"
"It's what you want me to do, Tianxu, refining this rare treasure is nothing to you, I will remember you as a favor, and in the future when the Great Chu is restored to the country, I can allow you to become the state religion in Taixu Palace .”
"His Royal Highness, please save these words. It is okay to ask Pindao to help you, but you also have to do a small favor for Pindao."
"Say."
The conversation was divided into two parts. After Chen Yuan left Shenjing City, he headed towards Liangzhou. There was no delay on the way. Of course, there was nothing to delay.
With his strength, casually escaping a little breath can prevent a lot of troubles. Except for those who directly target him, no ordinary warrior will open his eyes to find a alchemy master to die.
This is Chen Yuan's first visit to the northern part of the Central Plains. Although March is approaching, there is still a slightly cold atmosphere. The people here generally wear more clothes than the people in the south.
Compared with several rivers in the south, the water resources are abundant, and the north will appear to be much barren. At least along the way in Chenyuan, I only saw a large-scale river named Huangsha River.
As the name suggests, there is quicksand in the river
The only way for Chen Yuan to go to Liangzhou is through Bingzhou. This place can be regarded as a barrier separating Zhongzhou and Youliangzhou, and it is the guarantee of Zhongzhou.
As I said before, Zhongzhou is not very big, with a total area of only about five prefectures, but Yangzhou, Yunzhou, and Bingzhou that surround Zhongzhou are very large.
Compared to the prosperity of martial arts in the south, although the folk customs in the north are strong, they are actually somewhat inferior, perhaps because of the threat of the northern barbarians for thousands of years.
In short, according to Chen Yuan's understanding, there is only one immortal gate in the small half of the north, Wudang Mountain!
This fairy gate is located in Liangzhou and has a great reputation.
Crossing the border of Bingzhou, Chen Yuan originally wanted to go directly to Liangzhou City to take office first, but Senior Mo Luo, who had been silent for a while, woke up directly, and the first sentence was:
"Go to Wudang Mountain first."
Chen Yuan stopped his figure, stayed in the void, frowned slightly, and asked:
"Senior is going to Wudang Mountain?"
"right."
"What to do?"
He is a little puzzled, because if Wudang Mountain is divided into categories, it should be regarded as a Taoist school. Everyone in the world knows that the founder of Wudang Mountain is the Zhenwu Emperor who shocked the world during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Being able to be called an 'Emperor' is enough to prove the horror of the Zhenwu Emperor. Although he has long since passed away, his saber Zhenwu Sword is still the Zhenzong Excalibur of Wudang Mountain.
He doesn't know how strong it is. After all, there is no list of magical weapons in Dengxian Tower. He only knows that it can be passed down for thousands of years, and it must be extremely terrifying.
Senior Mo Luo is a former Buddhist powerhouse, and logically speaking, he should have nothing to do with Wudang Mountain.
"Go and meet Zhang Tianshi in Wudang Mountain."
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, knowing that the "Tianshi Zhang" mentioned by Senior Mo Luo was referring to an old lunatic who was well-known in the world and feared by countless people.
This one is really terrifying. Although he has not been included in the fairy list, he has already been recognized as the number one in the world. Even Ye Xiangnan, the lord of Wudi City, can only condescend to be second, and dare not claim the number one.
"But what happened?"
"It's nothing, I just happened to pass by and want to see it."
Moro said.
"Can the identity of the senior be exposed?"
Chen Yuan didn't quite believe Mo Luo's words. After all, in his knowledge, the news of Mo Luo's escape was still a secret and could not be leaked out.
The other party has also been very careful.
"No problem."
Moro's ethereal voice came out slowly.
Chen Yuan also had no choice but to nod his head. Since Mo Luo had already talked to this point, he would naturally not persuade him any more, and he just took this opportunity to meet Zuo Chengzong.
He really wanted to thank the other party for his flattery!
Just do what you said, Chen Yuan deviated from the direction of travel, and started to go straight to Wudang Mountain, which is known as the blessed land of immortal mountains.
Liangzhou has a relatively large area, and at Chen Yuan's speed, it took a full day to pass through half of Liangzhou and almost reached the middle.
And arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain.
He did not rush in hastily, but found a property in Wudang Mountain in a prefectural city near the foot of Wudang Mountain, reported his family name, and said that he wanted to see Zuo Chengzong.
Wudang Mountain's management personnel heard that it was Chen Yuan, a well-known demon sword in the Jianghu, and immediately issued an order. After verifying his identity, he immediately sent someone to Wudang Mountain to inform the news.
The Wudang Mountain disciples who received Chen Yuan solemnly invited Chen Yuan upstairs to drink tea.
When Chen Yuan closed his eyes and breathed out, about a quarter of an hour later, a loud cry startled him, not only him, but also the whole town.
They all looked at the movement in the void.
"Then that is the crane from Wudang Mountain?"
"Yes, that's right, it's the crane. I saw it a few years ago."
"How come there are cranes descending so well?"
"It must be a distinguished guest who wants to climb the mountain."
This is the custom of Wudang Mountain, but all distinguished guests will be greeted by Wudang Mountain disciples driving cranes.
"It's not just an ordinary distinguished guest, I'm afraid it's a Huayang real person." Someone said with a look of surprise looking at the six cranes circling in the sky.
Warriors who are close to Wudang Mountain all know the rules of Wudang Mountain. Ordinary distinguished guests use three cranes to lead the way, while higher-level Huayang real people greet them with six cranes.
As for the top one, there is none other than Zhenjun. When he greeted him, there were nine cranes in the air.
It's just that such a scene will not appear once in many years. The most common thing is that three cranes lead the way, and it is relatively rare for six cranes to greet each other.
Chen Yuan heard the resounding crane cry outside, and opened his eyes accordingly. Before he could speak, a familiar voice came from outside: "I heard that Brother Chen is here, and Zuo is here to welcome you!"
"It's Zuo Chengzong!"
"It's him?"
"How is it possible? With Zuo Chengzong's status, it seems that he shouldn't greet him in person, right? Who is this brother Chen he is talking about? I don't know what his background is?"
There are more discussions below.
The appearance of Zuo Chengzong can't help but make people think about it. After all, although Zuo Chengzong has not yet become the elder of Wudang, he has always been the only candidate for the suzerain.
Known as the peerless genius born once every five hundred years in Wudang Mountain, if Chen Yuan hadn't been born, Zuo Chengzong would definitely be the most powerful genius in the world.
Countless people regard him as the future master of Wudang Mountain.
Generally, those who ride a crane to greet distinguished guests are the alchemy elders of Wudang Mountain and bring a few other disciples. For many people, it is definitely the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair to greet Zuo Chengzong in person.
Chen Yuan waved his hand, and a huge invisible aura blew the doors and windows open. Chen Yuan smiled lightly and said:
"Brother Zuo, long time no see!"
Zuo Chengzong jumped down from the crane, stepping into the air, wearing a black Taoist robe, his long hair was tied up, and his demeanor was indifferent. He really looked like a fairy who came down. He slapped Chen Yuan with a smile. road:
"It's been several months since we parted in the East China Sea. Brother Chen's demeanor is even better than before."
"Brother Zuo is the same."
Chen Yuan looked at the familiar figure in front of him, and said:
"I didn't expect Brother Zuo to greet me in person."
"If a distinguished guest like Brother Chen doesn't greet him personally, wouldn't it appear that Zuo has no manners?" Zuo Chengzong smiled faintly, which is of course a polite remark.
In fact, it was a coincidence that Chen Yuan came this time. He originally planned to go down the mountain to tour the rivers and lakes in the near future. If Chen Yuan was a day later, he would have no chance to welcome him even if he wanted to.
After finishing speaking, Zuo Chengzong directly entered the room, just about to continue to exchange some pleasantries, he suddenly sensed the faint aura coming from Chen Yuan's body, his eyes suddenly focused, he quickly noticed the changes around Chen Yuan, and asked:
"Brother Chen, you... have you entered the Heavenly Pill?"
"I had a lucky breakthrough a few days ago."
Hearing Chen Yuan's definite answer, Zuo Chengzong couldn't help but click his tongue. He still remembered what he had said to Chen Yuan before, that the two would have another contest in the alchemy realm.
But now, there is no need to compete. With Chen Yuan's combat power and cultivation base, he can definitely crush him.
It's really scary!
Before Chen Yuan killed Tang Xianzhuo, the Grand Master of Tiandan, and made it to No. 11 on the Billboard, which was enough to shock him, and this time he was going to travel for a reason.
As a result, it was only a short month or so before, and the other party had such a change, which is really unbelievable.
"Brother Chen's talent is unmatched in the world. It is both lucky and unfortunate to live in the same era as you." Zuo Chengzong sighed.
"Brother Zuo is self-effacing. Haven't you already broken through the real core and been on the Billboard?" Chen Yuan smiled, and his family knew about his own affairs.
He can achieve his current status, although he cannot do without his diligent practice, but the opportunities guided by the Altar of Luck have also helped him a lot. If it is really hard work, I am afraid that he may not be able to break through the real pill now.
From this, we can also see how strong Zuo Chengzong's talent is.
"Brother Chen is embarrassing Zuo." Zuo Chengzong was a little unnatural, he didn't break through through hard work, and now facing Chen Yuan, he was inevitably inferior.
"Okay, let's forget about these flattery, you and I should be congratulated for being so diligent and self-sufficient."
"Brother Chen said so."
Among the martial artists of the same generation, Zuo Chengzong has quite a few who caught his eye. Perhaps it is worthy of his attention, and even Chen Yuan is the only one who feels inferior.
The rest are not allowed.
The same is true for Chen Yuan.
He still attaches great importance to this kind of peerless genius. Although the two sides have not known each other for a long time and have not had much contact with each other, there is a sense of sympathy for each other.
After chatting for a while, Zuo Chengzong asked:
"Brother Chen has always stayed in the south or the capital, why did he suddenly come to Liangzhou today?"
He is still a little curious about this point, he doesn't believe that Chen Yuan came to him specially, although there is a bit of sympathy for each other, but the friendship obviously hasn't reached that point yet.
"Chen came here to take office." Chen Yuan said.
"Liangzhou Golden Envoy?"
Zuo Chengzong frowned and asked in surprise.
"Exactly."
"That's really a high promotion. Congratulations, brother Chen. At such an age, he has ascended to the high position of a state's gold envoy. The future is hard to limit." Zuo Chengzong said sincerely.
In the Sky Survey Department, anyone who wants to rise to the top must have experience in other towns, and the four great envoys also have these qualifications.
Like Zhang Xuan, even with Zhang Yantong as a backer, he still needs to accumulate qualifications in other towns, so that he can be better promoted, and he does not need to start as a deputy envoy step by step.
As long as you break through the alchemy realm, you will be able to work in the capital. When the time comes, you will basically be sent out as a gold envoy.
"It's all for the court." Chen Yuan smiled.
"Brother Chen came to Wudang today, but he didn't just come to see Zuo, did he?" Zuo Chengzong quickly thought of some key points. When Chen Yuan took the post of Jin envoy to lead Liangzhou, he must not avoid Wudang Mountain.
"To be honest, Chen came here this time not only to get together with brother Zuo, but also to meet the old heavenly master." Chen Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Want to see the old master?"
Zuo Chengzong frowned. He, Chen Yuan, wanted to meet the head of this generation of Wudang, but he didn't expect that he wanted to meet the patriarch. It was really tricky.
"I wonder if Brother Zuo can recommend you?"
Chen Yuan looked at him and said.
Zuo Chengzong pondered for a moment, did not immediately agree, but asked:
"Zuo wants to ask boldly, why did Brother Chen see the old heavenly master?"
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, knowing that if he didn't say something, Zuo Chengzong would probably not agree. After all, the gap between Chen Yuan and the old heavenly master was too great, and it was inappropriate to recommend rashly.
Immediately said:
"Actually, Chen was entrusted by a senior expert to give something to the old master."
"Oh?"
"I don't know if it is possible?"
Zuo Chengzong smiled and nodded slightly:
"Since it's Brother Chen's request, Zuo will do his best to help."
"Then thank you Brother Zuo."
"It's okay, there is nothing wrong with making friends, Brother Chen please." Zuo Chengzong stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Please."
Then Zuo Chengzong came to the window, his lips moved slightly, as if he was transmitting something.
Afterwards, those Wudang Mountain disciples who were driving the cranes in the sky cupped their hands together and said:
"Welcome Chen Qingshi to come to Wudang, and invite Qingshi to go up the mountain!"

Ask for a monthly pass!
