Listen to the familiar voice of a young man behind him.

Chen Xixiang turned his head in surprise:

"Cui Ning?"

I saw that behind him were four yellow and black horses, and there was a person on each horse, all of whom were a few fellow disciples who worshiped Qingcheng Mountain with him.

Cui Ning, who has the best roots, Zhao Wenjing, who is second, Zhao Wenjing's cousin Zhao Chongyang, and finally Ning Changge.

After Chen Xixiang stopped his horse.

Cui Ning and a few people rushed up.

didn't wait for Chen Xixiang to ask.

Cui Ning said mildly: "I have been practicing on the mountain for a year, and I have not been able to break through to the spine dragon for a long time, and the master said that I am missing a spirit in my cultivation, so let me go down the mountain to see the mountains and rivers of Shenzhou." ”

Speaking of this, his tone changed, with a hint of regret:

"And a few days ago, Wen Jing and his family came to the news, saying that his father had passed away, so he followed me down the mountain."

Finally, he said: "Before going down the mountain, I heard that you took a task from the side of the affairs hall, so I thought that I might meet you on the road, but I didn't expect to really catch up with you." ”

After Chen Xixiang heard this, he first whispered to Zhao Wenjing and Zhao Chongyang: "The two senior brothers mourn." ”

Zhao Wenjing was in a low mood, but he still pulled up a bitter smile and said, "Thank you." ”

At this time, Zhao Chongyang and Ning Jiuge on the side were a little inexplicable in their eyes.

Obviously, if it weren't for the fact that Cui Ning and Chen Xixiang had the best relationship, before going down the mountain, they heard that Chen Xixiang had also gone down the mountain, and they must catch up.

Otherwise, with the relationship between them and Chen Xixiang, after trying to persuade Chen Xixiang to leave the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for the first time a year ago, they had already decided to give up.

Since Chen Xixiang himself is not angry, they are not Chen Xixiang's parents, so there is no need to worry about it.

It is expected that when they cultivate farther and farther in the future, it is estimated that there will be few opportunities to meet except for going to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to borrow scriptures and books.

But I didn't expect to go down the mountain this time, and I would encounter it on the way.

Cui Ning tried his best to keep his tone in his voice, there were not many true disciples who were arrogant to ordinary disciples, and said in a gentle tone: "It just so happens that our senior brothers are going down the mountain together, I don't know where you are going, we may be able to go with you for a while." ”

He didn't say it, though.

But the hidden meaning can be understood by everyone present.

Obviously, he plans to take care of Chen Xixiang more among his peers, after all, the situation under the mountain is complicated, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not encounter any situation along the way.

Several of them have been able to worship famous teachers, and now Cui Ning has almost touched the fourth realm of the flesh "Spine Dragon", and Zhao Wenjing has also cultivated Yi Gu within a year, and he is about to change the marrow.

On the contrary, this "unlucky" junior disciple who has been stumbling in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for a year, you don't have to think about it to know that it is estimated that even the realm of Ning Jiuge and Zhao Chongyang is inferior to this year.

Chen Xixiang smiled slightly, didn't say anything, let alone refuse kindness, and said: "I'm going to Xiangyang, where are you going, if you are on the same road, you might as well talk more about our senior brothers on the road." ”

Cui Ning heard that Chen Xixiang didn't mind his current identity, his heart relaxed, and said: "We are going to a village outside Lin'an City, called Zhaojia Village, Wen Jing and Chongyang are both from Zhaojia Village, so I will follow them to have a look first." ”

After that, he said again: "I hope what your task is, why don't you go to Zhaojia Village with us first, and then we will help you do the task." ”

Chen Xixiang waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, and said with a smile: "My task is very simple, if everyone is worthy of me, it will be too laborious." ”

Ning Jiu Ge and Zhao Chongyang looked at each other silently after hearing this, and they both shook their heads secretly in their hearts.

Sure enough, it's still a good face.

At the beginning, they felt that Chen Xixiang was mostly because of his qualifications, but he had a good face, and then they were hit by the results and wanted to give up on themselves.

Looking at it now, it still hasn't changed.

Obviously, if he and others wanted to help him, he could easily let him complete the task, but he didn't appreciate it.

That's fine.

The masters are right, there is no need to stumble on some trivial matters and human feelings, these small causes and effects should be underestimated on the path of cultivation, and they should have been underestimated a long time ago.

It seems that I have to find a time, and I have to talk to Cui Ning about it, there are some things that should be seen and seen.

After Cui Ning heard Chen Xixiang's refusal, he smiled a little helplessly, and then he didn't care, and said:

"Then let's go with us for a while."

They have all been down the mountain for seven or eight days, and they have already left the six states of Qingcheng Mountain, and it is estimated that they will be separated in the next day or two, and they will go west and east.

See the sun set.

The sky dome of the official road is dyed with the golden glow of the sunset, as if the sky is drunk, and a lump of red halo is born at the end of the ground level, and this scene is also intoxicating.

Everyone hasn't seen much more than half a year, in addition to chatting about Qingcheng Mountain on the road, this time down the mountain, each has a curiosity about the mountain, and inevitably talked about a major event that happened recently.

Cui Ning looked in the direction north of the Great Song Dynasty, and thought of the person he had heard about on the mountain: "When Master ordered me to go down the mountain, I should be careful of the people of the Jin Kingdom, I heard that because some time ago, after the Five Sages of the Central Plains fought with the first demon in the world in Changbai Mountain, it seems that because of the changes that occurred in that battle, many forces in the Jin Kingdom began to quietly infiltrate the Central Plains, and there was also an undercurrent between the major factions in the Central Plains. ”

Zhao Wenjing sighed at this time: "Don't say anything else, the old demon of Montenegro is really terrifying, my five saints in the Central Plains, led by Confucian Cheng and Zhu in the dynasty, plus Yue Wumu, as well as Zhang Ziyang and Bai Yuchan, the second ancestors of Quanzhennan, shot at it together, but they were injured and failed to kill." ”

"With such a terrifying cultivation, this old demon of Montenegro deserves to be the number one demon in the world!"

After Chen Xixiang heard this, his thoughts also flowed in his heart.

Some time ago, this was called the first major event in the Central Plains of the Dao Song Dynasty, the "battle between good and evil", even though he did not go out in the Qingcheng Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he also heard many fellow disciples who came to borrow the Taoist scriptures mention.

It is said that he was born in the black water of Changbai Mountain, a peerless demon, named the old demon of Montenegro, the fierce flame is powerful in the world, and it is the god of the Jin Kingdom outside the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is also for this reason that in the mouths of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they often call the Jin Kingdom "Demon Gold", or "the Demon of the Jin Kingdom".

However, when Chen Xixiang heard about the reputation of this peerless demon in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, he faintly realized in his heart that this old demon of the Black Mountain was by no means the demon of the Black Mountain in the Chinese Ghost Story.

It's a more terrifying existence.

At this time, on the way, I heard Cui Ning and others talking about the "Black Mountain Old Demon vs. the Five Saints of the Central Plains" some time ago.

Chen Xixiang's thoughts fluctuated in his heart:

"I don't know if this old demon is just the same name, or if it's really for the legendary vein that has mastered the operation of the Heavenly Dao......"

…………

It's going to be dark.

Chen Xixiang and the four people of the same sect walked into a city in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, called Xiangzhou, in the midst of half-talking and half-chatting anecdotes about the rivers and lakes of China, as well as some rumors of various sects.

"Let's find an inn to rest and stay first."

Before several people led their horses to an inn, before they entered, Chen Xixiang saw the cloth bags hanging on the two horses at the door of the inn embroidered with the pattern of "Danding".

It's true.

Cui Ning also saw it later.

Ning Jiuge hesitated and slowly spoke:

"It seems that there is a true Taoist priest in this inn."

Minami Shoichi.

Kita Quanzhen.

These are the two sources of the Daomen that divide the Central Plains Daomen into two.

Their Qingcheng faction is a branch of the Zhengtian Division, preaching in the land of 36 states in the south, and there are many incense burners.

However, except for the ancestor Tianshi's era, which was the sole respect of Zhengyi, the subsequent dynasties and generations were all pressed by Quanzhen Zhengyi, whether it was incense or Taoism, Zhengyi fell into the disadvantage everywhere.

Zhao Wenjing snorted coldly when she heard this:

"What are you afraid of, I've already arrived at the door, do I still have to walk around, and it really seems that I'm afraid of him everywhere at the door."

With that, several people handed over the horses to the shopkeeper and walked into the inn.
