Chapter 144: The peach and plum do not speak, and the bottom is its own
When the news spread that Xuan Chengzi, one of the three saints of Kunlun, was killed by the Aotian Demon God, the master of the Eagle Claw Gate, there was an uproar on the rivers and lakes.
The Aotian Demon God was actually able to kill Xuan Chengzi, one of the three saints of Kunlun?
The first reaction of the vast majority of people who heard this rumor was to suspect that their ears had heard it wrong.
Is Xuan Chengzi so easy to kill?
Although in the past six months, the Aotian Demon God has been invincible, but the ones he has defeated are basically players.
And Xuan Chengzi is a veteran master in the game, he has been famous for decades, and he is the uncle of the head of the Kunlun faction.
The younger generation of disciples of the Kunlun Sect almost all have to call him his uncle and ancestor.
With such a veteran-level master, the Aotian Demon God can also win? It's too fake, right?
Rumors in the rivers and lakes, since ancient times, have been unrecognizable, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
The rumor that the Aotian Demon God killed Xuan Chengzi has spread countless versions.
Some people say that the Aotian Demon God killed Xuan Chengzi alone; Some people say that the Aotian Demon God was made by taking advantage of Xuan Chengzi's unpreparedness and sneak attacking; There are countless other theories.
Those who know the truth are always in the minority.
The Kunlun faction is one of these few.
The Kunlun faction in the clouds and mist sat on the Forgotten Peak, and He Zhongdao, the head of the Kunlun faction, was originally meditating on the Forgotten Peak with his eyes closed, and the little Taoist boy who was serving his daily life suddenly came up to the Forgotten Peak and whispered to him that his junior brother He Zhonghuan had something important to report to him and asked for an audience.
The junior brother asked to see, He Zhongdao was not easy to refuse, so he agreed with a slight bow.
After Xiao Daotong saluted him respectfully, he quickly went down the mountain, and about twenty minutes later, He Zhonghuan came to the Sitting Forget Peak, and He Zhongdao noticed that He Zhonghuan's face was very solemn.
"Senior brother, is something serious?"
He Zhongdao's voice is very gentle, he is sixty years old, he has been cultivating all his life, and his surname is already as gentle as the moon.
Compared with his calmness, He Zhonghuan's mood was completely chaotic at this time, and he barely suppressed the panic in his heart, so he didn't show the panicked look on his face.
But as soon as he spoke, his hurried tone completely revealed the panic in his heart.
"Senior brother, it's not good! News has just come from the bottom of the mountain that Uncle Xuan Chengzi and the five outstanding disciples brought down the mountain by his old man have all been killed by the people of the Eagle Claw Gate. ”
"What?"
He Zhongdao's calm face changed. Unbelieving: "Senior brother's words are true? Is the news true? ”
"Alas! Senior brother, how dare I tell a lie to deceive you? How dare you talk about Uncle Xuan Chengzi's life and death? ”
He Zhonghuan's face turned bitter.
Xuan Chengzi is one of the three saints of the Kunlun faction.
That's the living sign of the Kunlun faction.
is also a master of the town faction.
With his old man, even if other sects want to deal with the Kunlun faction, they will have scruples in their hearts, and invisibly, they will also attract countless outstanding young people to come to Kunlun Mountain to apprentice.
But now, Xuan Chengzi, one of the three saints of Kunlun, is dead. The impact was big all of a sudden.
The most direct impact is that it will make outsiders look down on Kunlun, not only will the number of apprentices who come to apprentice every year definitely decrease, but the awe of other sects for Kunlun will also drop by two or three grades at once.
He Zhongdao didn't dare to hide such an important matter, and immediately went to Sanshengao with his junior brother He Zhonghuan to report to the other two uncles in person.
Three Holy Caves.
As the name suggests, it is the place where the three saints of the Kunlun sect live.
Here, it is the forbidden place of the Kunlun faction, and no one is allowed to trespass without the personal guidance of the master, because the Sansheng Pass is the hermitage of the master's uncle.
Xuan Chengzi originally lived here.
The three holy passes, surrounded by mountains, and a tunnel in the mountains lead directly to the cultivation place of the head of the sect - sitting on the Forgotten Peak.
He Zhongdao meditates with his eyes closed on the peak of sitting and forgetting, in fact, he also has another intention.
That is to personally guard the entrance of the Three Holy Passes for the three uncles.
To ensure that the cultivation of the three uncles is not disturbed.
However, today he personally took his junior brother He Zhonghuan into the Three Sacred Caves.
Although Sanshengao is basically isolated from the outside world, the scenery here is picturesque.
On the slopes of the mountains on all sides, there are lush greenery, and there are towering trees that go straight to the sky.
There are two springs in it, one hot and the cold.
A large area of green bamboo surrounds the three small courtyards of Reading Power.
As soon as He Zhongdao and He Zhonghuan stepped here, an old voice came to their ears from the small courtyard in the distance.
"Zhong Dao, Zhong Huan, what is the matter with you coming here this time?"
He Zhongdao didn't dare to hide it, let alone talk in circles.
He bowed down and replied, "Senior Uncle, Zhong Huan just reported to his disciple that Senior Uncle Xuan Chengzi had just been killed outside. ”
"Huh? What the? ”
A deep voice suddenly came from the small courtyard closer, and then, a moment later, a mighty old man's figure suddenly flashed several times, and suddenly appeared in front of He Zhongdao and He Zhonghuan.
He Zhongdao and He Zhonghuan didn't seem surprised, and there was no surprise on their faces.
"Ho Chung Dao! What did you just say? That old guy was killed outside by Xuan Chengzi? Say! Who is the one who made the shot? Which sect is the master who can have the ability to kill Xuan Chengzi, the old immortal? ”
Before He Zhongdao could answer, a thin old man with snow-white hair appeared next to the mighty old man. At this time, his old Long Zhong's face also showed a solemn look.
"Two uncles! The situation was passed on to me by Senior Brother Zhong Huan, and he should know the situation better than me, so I would like to ask Senior Brother Zhong Huan to report to you, right? ”
…… A few minutes later, He Zhonghuan reported everything he had learned to the thin old man and the mighty old man.
After listening to He Zhonghuan's report, the two old men closed their lips tightly, the thin old man was fine, and he could still control his inner emotions.
But the mighty old man completely disregarded his image, and immediately scolded.
The newly built Eagle Claw Gate?
Several people besieged Xuan Chengzi and killed Xuan Chengzi.
Such news was enough to ignite the anger in the heart of the mighty old man.
…… Late that night.
In the courtyard of the original Iron Flag Gate of Nishan City.
The hundreds of disciples inside and outside the Eagle Claw Gate who won the victory in this battle were still eating and drinking in the courtyard, and the sound of fighting wine was also extremely high-pitched in the noise.
After giving a glass of water and wine to the thirty-six tables, and announcing on the spot that the disciples who went out to fight this time, regardless of the disciples of the inner and outer sects, would be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, Yang Zhen had already entered a stargazing building.
This stargazing building is in the deepest part of the Iron Flag Gate compound, and the original owner of this building should be a woman.
There are traces of her daughter's home everywhere in the building.
In the bedroom, there is also a faint smell of fat powder.
It's a pleasure to smell.
The reason why Yang Zhen chose such a place to rest was because of the cleanliness here.
On the platform of the Stargazing Building, Yang Zhen was lying quietly on a reclining chair, and on the coffee table at hand, there were candied fruits, fruits and tea just served by Xiao Er of the restaurant.
The second child of the restaurant was caught by Tie Ren's people from several of the largest restaurants in Nishan City. was arrested together, as well as the cooks of several large restaurants.
I moved a lot of things from the kitchens of those restaurants to this compound.
All of this is just to get a decent table for the brothers who fought tonight and survived.
Why didn't Yang Zhen wait for the banquet to finish and come to this cold stargazing tower?
The answer lies in a thin secret book in Yang Zhen's hand at this time.
- "The Journey of the Dead"
This secret book was personally found by Yang Zhen on Xuan Chengzi.
When searching, Yang Zhen hoped that he could find the Kunlun School's swordsmanship from Xuan Chengzi's body, or the secret of the Three Yin Palms and the rain in the sky.
Unexpectedly, what I found in the end was the well-known body method of the Kunlun faction - Qi Yingbu.
At that time, Yang Zhen was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.
But later, when I remembered the legend of the Shadow Step, I felt a little better.
Legend has it that the Kunlun faction's light skills are practiced to the extreme, and they can step on the snow without a trace.
And the best light skill of the Kunlun faction is the Silent Step.
What Yang Zhen doesn't understand is that Xuan Chengzi is so old, how can he still carry this secret book on him?
Could it be that he has not understood the steps of the dead by now?
It can't be, right?
Lying quietly on the recliner on the platform of the stargazing tower, in the cold night, Yang Zhen took advantage of the bright moonlight in the sky to turn the first page of "The Journey of the Dead".
"Lou Guanfei is ......"
Under these four words, there is a brief figure figure figure, and between the dantian and the feet of the humanoid figure, there are faint dotted lines representing the operation route of internal strength.
In each meridian and each acupuncture point through which the internal strength passes, there are flies and flies marked in small letters.
After a cursory glance at these figures, Yang Zhen turned the secret note to the second page.
"The Phoenix spreads its wings ......"
Under these four words, there are human figures.
Each picture is sketchy, but it gives you the essence at a glance. The few strokes of each picture are just right to draw the key parts, and nothing is missing.
Yang Zhen quietly flipped through this thin secret book, and when the moon shadow was westward and the communicator on his wrist sounded the alarm, Yang Zhen suddenly realized that it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
"Alas!"
With a light sigh, Yang Zhen's voice slowly turned into a phantom, and finally, it completely disappeared into the night, leaving only the plate of candied fruit and other things on the coffee table next to the chaise longue, proving that there was someone here just now.
Why sigh?
It's not that he can't practice the Secret Technique, but after reading the whole Secret Guide, Yang Zhen found that he had a lot more knowledge of the body method.
In the past, when he fused the cloud trace phantom in Paiyun's palm, the wind chasing shadow in the wind god's legs, and the illusion body method, he thought that his cognition in body method was close to the peak, and there were very few people in the rivers and lakes who could surpass him in body method.
But after reading the whole book tonight, he suddenly realized that the more he learned in body and footwork, the more he felt that he was too conceited before.
Perhaps, when I integrate the Silent Step into it, there is still a lot of room for improvement in my footwork and body style.
This time he fought with Xuan Chengzi, one of the three saints of Kunlun, which sounded the alarm in Yang Zhen's heart.
His enemies are not only those who are masters, but now even the original masters in the game have become enemies.
This time it's Xuan Chengzi, who will it be next time?
This time, there are Ren Feng, Yuebai Fengqing, Xiaoxiaoyu, Nie Qingzhu and others to help, what if there is no one to help next time?
This question had an answer when he flipped through the book "Silent Steps".
That is, continue to greatly improve one's attainments in the body.
As long as the body and footwork can stand alone in the world, then in the future, no matter what kind of master you fight, the initiative of whether to fight or go is also in your own hands.
As long as the initiative can be in your own hands, there will be no danger of your life.
…… Three days later, Nie Qingzhu and Ren Feng were resurrected, and five days later, they returned to Huo Mountain one after another.
When they arrived at the Sky Cliff and reported to Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen instructed Xiao Shi to take them to collect the money, goods and weapons left on the corpses after they died last time.
This is one of the benefits of your own victory.
As long as you are victorious, even if you die in battle, when you are resurrected, you can get back the belongings and weapons you left on the battlefield.
That night, after Nie Qingzhu and Ren Feng died, Yang Zhen ordered people to collect their things and bring them back. Now that Ren Feng and Nie Qingzhu have been resurrected, it is time for things to return to their original owners.
Together with Ren Feng and Nie Qingzhu, there is also the reward of this battle.
When they die in battle, the rewards that belong to them will be more generous.
to make up for the loss of one-tenth of their strength after they died in battle.
That night's loot had already been disposed of by the poisonous wolf Simon, who was in charge of logistics.
Only Xuan Chengzi's sword remained.
I don't know how many years that sword has followed Xuan Chengzi, blowing hair and breaking hair, which is the most basic surname.
Yang Zhen left that sword because he wanted to wait for his skills to reach the late stage of refining the gods, and then study whether there was anything special about that sword, and whether it would be better to use that sword to practice swordsmanship?
If you can't learn the Kunlun School's swordsmanship, if at that time, the sword control technique you have mastered can be more powerful because of that sword, it will be even better.
After the spoils were disposed of, Simon the poisonous wolf handed out all the rewards they deserved.
This time, the bonus of more than 600,000 yuan was issued, and in the past few days, Yang Zhenneng could clearly feel that the remaining four hundred and dozens of inner and outer disciples had greatly enhanced their sense of belonging to the new Eagle Claw Sect.
To this end, Yang Zhen decided to add another fire.
It was announced in public that the outer disciples who participated in the battle that night were all promoted to inner disciples.
And the monthly fee that inner disciples need to pay every month has also been canceled.
For a time, there were more than 400 disciples under the sect, and everyone was happy.
The fame spread, and many of the inner and outer disciples who had left regretted it.
Right now, these inner and outer disciples who have persevered until the end and have not left have not only received a lot of bonuses, but they will also face a great situation with the Eagle Claw Gate.
That is, the entire Jizhou, except for their Eagle Claw Gate, is already empty, as long as they have enough manpower, they can take the entire Jizhou at any time.
If they can take the entire Jizhou, then they can also sit on the land of one state like the Five Poison Sect and the Nujiao Gang.
There are not a few people who can see this good situation.
So, after experiencing the situation of continuous people exiting the Eagle Claw Gate some time ago, these days, many people come to Huoshan every day and ask to join the Eagle Claw Gate.
This time, Yang Zhen allowed Yuebai Fengqing, Xiao Xiaoyu, Tieren, Ren Feng, Poisonous Wolf Ximen, and Nie Qingzhu to have the qualifications to recruit his subordinates.
There is no limit to the number of people, but there is no salary, and the new disciples, all of whom belong to the outer disciples, need to hand over ten taels of silver per month.
If you convert it to Chengren people's coins, it is exactly 100 yuan.
If it had been before, such a condition might have discouraged anyone who was interested in joining the Eagle Claw Gate.
But this is no longer the case.
Now Eagle Claw Gate is facing a great situation, in order to share this bright future, hundreds of people come to Huoshan every day to ask to join Eagle Claw Gate.
Even after listening to such harsh treatment, it is rare to see anyone retreat.
With my skills, being an outer disciple must only be temporary, and soon, I will get rich!
That's what most people are saying.
So, every day, the team under Yue Bai Fengqing and others is expanding.
The four hundred or so inner disciples who had passed the big wave and swept away the sand have now become the leaders of these new disciples as old disciples.
The number of people under each person is rising almost every day.
In less than four days, the total number of new outer disciples exceeded 5,000.
Yang Zhen still did not order a limit on the number of people, so the number is still swelling every day.
This time, Yang Zhen didn't think about controlling the number of people at all.
He didn't care how many of these people would be loyal to him.
As long as there are more people, the more monthly fees will be collected each month.
With no capital, how could Yang Zhen think that there were too many stupid birds who gave him money?
On the evening of the fourth day, Yang Zhen was still fusing the Illusion Demon Body Method and the Immortal Step on the Sky Cliff.
Nangong Shaoqi suddenly ran up the mountain in a hurry, lowered his voice, and still said excitedly: "Master! There is a man named Silent Moon who has asked to meet you, Master! That guy looks like a master! ”
"Oh?"
Yang Zhen glanced at the excited look on Nangong Shaoqi's face, thought about it, nodded slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, you can bring him to the Sky Cliff!" ”
"Yes! Master! ”
Nangong Shaoqi happily agreed, turned around and went down the mountain to invite the moon of annihilation.
In less than half an hour, Nangong Shaoqi went and returned, and when he came back, there was a long-bodied young man with a long sword beside him.
This man's face was cold and arrogant.
Dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, he held a long sword in his hand, the scabbard was a luxurious purple, and there were even a few red and green gems inlaid on it.
Nangong Shaoqi was obviously walking in front of him, but at a glance, Nangong Shaoqi was like a shopkeeper who led the way, and his aura completely suppressed Nangong Shaoqi.
On the contrary, Nangong Shaoqi, a cheap thing, didn't mind at all, and every time he looked back at him, he was full of envy.
"I've seen the Eagleclaw Gate Master!"
When he was more than ten meters away from the stone pavilion, Nangong Shaoqi was still walking forward, but this person had already consciously stopped, held his sword, and saluted Yang Zhen with his fists.
Yang Zhen looked up and down and looked at this person.
I feel that just by selling out, this person is a talent.
But, what is the truth, Yang Zhen still has to weigh.
"Your name is Moon, Silence?"
"Yes."
"You asked to see me, but you want to join me at the Talon Gate?"
"Yes."
…… After a moment of silence, Yang Zhen asked a question with a real surname: "What martial arts are you good at?" ”
"I only studied two martial arts in the next one. Leaf picking sword finger and leaf picking and intestine breaking sword technique. ”
Picking leaves?
Leaf picking and bowel-breaking sword technique?
This answer made Yang Zhen a little interested.
(To be continued)
