Chapter 9.5 Retreat (5800 words)

After obtaining the water spirit bead, Chen Hengzhi did not stay anymore and flew straight towards Nanzhaoguo.

The golden-winged phoenix is in the Shenmu Forest, and the fire unicorn is in the Qilin Cave, both of which are near Dali City.

After arriving in Dali, Chen Hengzhi found the Moon Worship Sect Master and asked him about the whereabouts of the Divine Wood Forest and the Qilin Cave, and then, after getting the map, Chen Hengzhi did not stop, and went straight to the Divine Wood Forest.

After a while, he arrived at the destination, Chen Hengzhi stood in mid-air, and as far as the eye could see, this forest was vast and immense, full of towering giant trees, and there was no edge in sight.

He concocted the same method, scattering his huge divine consciousness all over the woods, scanning inch by inch, searching the phoenix's lair.

After a long time, Chen Hengzhi said to himself: "I finally found you!" ”

After walking some distance, he came to a forest.

This forest is one after another, looking at it from afar, stretching endlessly, like a rolling green sea, thousands of blue waves, extremely spectacular.

And among them there was the tallest tree, which stood above the sea of trees, but the top was smooth, and there were no branches and leaves. Under the sunlight, it seems to faintly reflect a layer of brilliant light.

"Found it!" Chen Hengzhi took one step and arrived at the top of the giant tree. There is a giant nest in the tree.

The feathers in the nest are ten times larger than the ordinary bird feathers, and the snow-white and soft feathers are faintly exposed at the roots, which are brilliant and lovely, and there are a few rays of brilliance hidden between the soft feathers.

Chen Hengzhi waved his right hand, revealing an egg hidden in it, and next to it, there was a bead that emitted an emerald green light.

"Phoenix eggs, wind spirit beads?"

Chen Hengzhi groaned for a while, waved his hand, and the wind spirit bead arrived in his hand.

As soon as the Wind Spirit Bead arrived in his hand, the originally quiet sky slightly stirred up a light breeze, and the wind became tighter than a gust.

At the same time, a scream rang out violently, extremely sharp and piercing, and a golden cloud quickly approached, and when it was close enough to tell that it was a colorful and brilliant giant bird, the giant bird had covered the sky and pounced towards Chen Hengzhi.

Looking at the majestic colorful phoenix, Chen Hengzhi stood with his hands in his hands, did not make a move, and looked at the golden-winged phoenix fixedly, exuding a powerful momentum all over his body.

Seeing this, the golden-winged phoenix did not attack recklessly, but stopped, flapped its wings in mid-air, and made a vicissitudes of life: "Outsiders, you are not welcome here, leave quickly!" ”

It also saw clearly that this human being was magnificent, and even it couldn't take advantage of it.

Besides, now that the phoenix egg is still there, if it is not necessary, it does not want to rashly become an enemy of Chen Hengzhi.

"Your Excellency, don't panic!"

Chen Hengzhi said with a smile: "I came this time to get the wind spirit bead, and by the way, I saw the demeanor of the divine beast phoenix, and there is no malice!" ”

He simply didn't want to fight with Phoenix, after all, he didn't want to have nothing to do, as for a fight, it was nothing, it's just that this kind of fight without a purpose was boring.

When many people see the Divine Beast, their first thought is to kill it and gain the ability to live forever! However, is Chen Hengzhi rare this so-called immortality?

Hearing this, the golden-winged phoenix said coldly: "In that case, why don't you leave?" ”

"The first time I saw the legendary phoenix, take a second look, since Your Excellency doesn't like it, then I won't look at it, haha!"

Chen Hengzhi laughed, and his figure disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared in the Fire Qilin Cave.

There was nothing in the cave, only a giant beast sleeping with bent limbs, glowing with a warm red light, a deer body, an oxtail, a horse's hooves, a lion's whiskers, a dragon's head, and a horn on its head, and flesh on the horns, and its body color was colorful, which was exactly what a fire unicorn looked like.

"Fire Kirin ......"

Chen Hengzhi stood with his hands in his hands, looking at this unicorn, his thoughts seemed to be pulled back to a previous world: Fengyun.

When he was in Lingyun Cave, there was also such a unicorn in the Qilin Cave, and he was captured by Chen Hengzhi and thrown into the eternal realm to be stocked, he hadn't paid attention to it for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive.

Speaking of the fire unicorn, Chen Hengzhi suddenly thought that he had captured a mongrel demon dragon in the Datang world before, and he also threw it aside and didn't care about it.

Now that he suddenly thinks of these divine beasts, he can't help but recall the many worlds he has experienced before, those former teachers, apprentices, and friends, are they okay?

"Seemingly, I'll go see them sometime......"

Chen Hengzhi said to himself: "Alas! Before I know it, I, Chen, have spent nearly a hundred years in many worlds, and I am no longer young! ”

With a wave of his hand, the Fire Qilin No. 1, which was located in the Eternal Realm and had been neglected for countless years, appeared beside him (the Fire Qilin of the Wind and Cloud World).

"Lord... Master, you think of me, I thought you had forgotten me..."

As soon as the fire qilin appeared, it immediately found Chen Hengzhi in front of him, and it couldn't help but crawl to Chen Hengzhi's side, grabbed his legs, snorted and cried, crying, but the voice was like a human child.

"Hey, Fire Qilin, you can actually speak?"

Chen Hengzhi was shocked, which made the fire qilin stunned on the spot.

"The hosts... Seemingly... You really forgot about me......"

The fire qilin couldn't help but whimper: "At the beginning, didn't you find a water qilin summoned from another world, with the help of it, I awakened the inheritance in the bloodline, cultivated to a thousand miles a day, and then refined the horizontal bones, so I can speak." ”

"Ahem, I see, it's good, this one, haven't I been busy all the time......"

When Chen Hengzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, but when he heard the words of the fire qilin, he couldn't help but feel like a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, don't talk about this, I helped you find a fellow clan again, you go and say hello to it!" ”

Although the Fire Qilin had a lot to say, it didn't dare to disobey Chen Hengzhi's order, it jumped lightly, came to the side of the Fire Qilin No. 2 in this world, and whined.

The sleeping No. 2 Fire Qilin suddenly shook and stood up, and when it saw the No. 1 Fire Qilin, it immediately changed, and its whole body trembled.

Moments later, the No. 2 big unicorn ...... disappeared, replaced by an old man in red with a white beard and a kind face.

It looked at the No. 1 little unicorn in front of it in a daze, and asked tremblingly, "You... Who is it? ”

"I ...... It's a fire unicorn! ”

The No. 1 little unicorn whispered, picked up a fiery red bead on the ground, and returned to Chen Hengzhi's side.

"I didn't expect to see a clansman for so many years, hey, I'm so happy!"

The old man in red glanced at the little unicorn beside Chen Hengzhi and said, "Little guy, how old are you!" ”

"Me...... It's probably more than a thousand years old! ”

The little Qilin thought for a moment and replied, looking at the old man in red curiously.

"Poof!"

The little unicorn's words immediately blocked back what the old man was about to say, and looked at the No. 1 little unicorn, and was speechless for a while.

He has lived for nearly a thousand years and has become a dying old man, the other party is older than him, and he still looks like a child, which makes people feel embarrassed.

"I'll take this fire spirit bead!"

Chen Hengzhi said: "When I have time in the future, I will let the little guy accompany you!" ”

The old man waved his hand again and again, not minding at all, and said, "Take it, this guy has been stuck in my neck for more than ten years, making me breathe so well, I don't want it for a long time!" As for...... Little Qilin, our Qilin clan has some secret methods that are useful to it, I hope you can bring it with you when you have time! ”

"Good!"

Chen Hengzhi nodded and responded: "I'll come when I'm free!" ”

………………

Leaving the Qilin Cave, Chen Hengzhi easily threw the little Qilin back into the Eternal Realm, ignoring its strong opposition.

After all, taking it out of the Eternal Realm was what Chen Hengzhi used to get close to the old Qilin set, so as not to withstand unnecessary conflicts and reduce some trouble, so why not do it.

Chen Hengzhi's figure flashed and entered the eternal realm.

Sitting cross-legged in the Eternal Palace, five spirit beads of different colors were suspended in front of him, releasing immeasurable light, competing with each other, dazzling.

"Identification~"

Chen Hengzhi stared at these five spirit beads, and his heart moved.

As soon as the words fell, a light curtain appeared in front of him:

…………

"Is that all?"

Chen Hengzhi stared at the introduction on the light curtain, his face showing a hint of disappointment.

In the game version, the legend is that the Five Elements Spirit Bead is a condensation of the five great natural forces of water, fire, thunder, wind, and earth.

In the TV series version, the power of the five spirits is absorbed by the colored stones left by Nuwa to mend the sky and become the five spirit beads, which are the strongest power in the world.

There is also a theory that the Five Spirit Beads were sealed by Nuwa after defeating the Five Spirit Demon Gods during the Ancient War.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

When he really got the five spirit beads in his hands, Chen Hengzhi found that they were extremely inconsistent with the legend and were not worthy of the name of the spirit beads at all.

Maybe it could be explained as, well, beads that contain aura?

If an ordinary cultivator obtains it, it will naturally be like a tiger with wings, and his cultivation will also be a rapid rise.

However, for Chen Hengzhi, this thing can only be regarded as an ordinary item, even chicken ribs, and it is of no use at all.

The abilities they possess are not attractive to Chen Hengzhi at all.

"Alas, forget it, I don't have to worry so much about the things I get for nothing, and it doesn't cost me anything anyway!"

After playing for a while, Chen Hengzhi waved his hand and put away the beads in front of him, closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Time passes slowly.

…………

The outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Nanzhao Kingdom.

The first year of Chen Hengzhi's retreat.

During this year, the Moon Worship Sect Master founded the world's first Tai Academy, regardless of origin, with any class of teaching, and enrolled nearly 5,000 Tai students.

At the same time, many doctors of Tai College have carefully researched and produced a variety of inventions, which have become finished products at a very fast speed, and have been brought to the market at a very fast speed, and shipped to the Central Plains, Jiaozhi, Goryeo, Waguo, Turpan and other countries for sale, bringing back a large number of resources.

The treasury of Nanzhao Kingdom was filled with all kinds of materials in an instant, and the witch king was very happy, the princess Zhao Ling'er was very happy, and the civil and military officials were also very happy.

The witch king finally made up his mind and abdicated to make way for Xian, and the throne was inherited by the princess Zhao Ling'er.

With the support of the Lunatic Sect Master, coupled with the fact that the Witch King has only one daughter and no competitors, the regime of the entire Nanzhao Kingdom has achieved a peaceful transition.

Princess Zhao Ling'er has become the queen of Ling'er!

Nanzhao has ushered in a new era!

In the early days of the queen's coming to power, she announced various policies to benefit the people, which completely convinced everyone, and the queen's prestige soared, and the people of Nanzhao were not convinced.

The emergence of various advanced agricultural tools and tools developed by Tai Academy has brought great help to farmers.

Moreover, King Lingzi announced that all workshops in Nanzhao must give workers two days off per month, a move that was immediately supported by the working class of tens of thousands of landless peasants.

Nanzhao, this desolate land on the border, with the efforts of everyone, burst out with an incomparably powerful vitality.

Subsequently, Nanzhao ushered in rapid development.

And on the other side, the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Hengzhi's apprentice Liu Jinyuan also developed very rapidly, and after he won the top prize, he was appointed as an attendant of the East Palace and an editor of the Hanlin Academy.

During his tenure, he was conscientious, diligent and studious, humble and courteous, and won praise from his superiors and colleagues.

In the same year, he was promoted to the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, and behind the Prime Minister's Office, there was a Zhongshu Sheren Office, and the Prime Minister often consulted with the Zhongshu Sheren on political affairs.

Although the grade of this position is not very high, only on the top five grades, but for Liu Jinyuan, it is a promotion level, and this position is also a clear and important position for the literati.

And Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru have returned to Suzhou from Chang'an and held a wedding, Li Xiaoyao wanted to invite Chen Hengzhi to attend the wedding, but he couldn't get in touch, so he had to give up.

After the marriage of Li and Lin, Li Xiaoyao took over the position of the lord of Linjiabao from his father-in-law Lin Tiannan, and became the new leader of Jiangnan Wulin.

The second year of Chen Hengzhi's retreat.

Liu Jinyuan was appointed as an envoy to depose the Zhizhi and "take charge of the good and evil of the department, give an outline, and patrol the provinces and states of the world, with the name of patrolling, pacifying, and preserving the appeasement."

He is mainly responsible for inspecting the world, inspecting local officials, understanding the situation in various places, secretly visiting the people's suffering, and helping the poor.

This position is relatively unfamiliar, and the Tang Dynasty abolished the name of this position, and changed it to an inspection envoy and a pacification envoy, also known as the minister of the Qin Mission.

Of course, the name of the foreign country is to inspect the place and make a friendly visit to the Nanzhao Kingdom, but in fact, Liu Jinyuan received the task of allowing him to take the opportunity to investigate the situation of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

A group of officials from Datang led by Liu Jinyuan came to Dali City, and after meeting with Queen Zhao Ling'er, they were allowed to visit and study.

They saw an earth-shaking scene, only to see the entire Dali suburbs of the workshop, people liberated from the land, become workers, into the workshop to work.

The wealth of the people has increased substantially, the trade is extremely prosperous, since the goods produced by Nanzhao are popular in various countries, countless merchants have heard the wind and moved, come to Nanzhao to buy goods at low prices, and then ship them back to their own countries for sale.

The whole Dali city is full of people and cars, a sign of prosperity.

…………

"What? Recruit me to be the king's husband? ”

When Liu Jinyuan heard the news, the whole person was blindsided.

The Moon Worship Sect Master nodded calmly: "Yes, this is what the queen meant, and it is also what I meant, and the civil and military officials also agree." ”

Liu Jinyuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Can you tell me why you chose me?" ”

Bai Yue's eyes showed approval: "Jin Yuan, you are talented, talented, and a disciple of Mr., no matter how you look at it, you are worthy of Her Majesty the Queen, now, it depends on your own meaning, do you agree or not?" ”

Liu Jinyuan held his forehead with his hand: "I have to think about it!" ”

"Good!" Yue Yue nodded.

…………

Time is gone!

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

Liu Jinyuan and Zhao Ling'er's child, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, has hidden his identity to study in the children's class of Tai Academy.

The daughter of Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, who was far away in Suzhou, was naughty like her mother, which made their husband and wife have a headache every day, and they were discussing whether to send her to Tai College in Dali.

The whole world is peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people of the world are happy and happy.

Only Liu Jinyuan sighed from time to time: "Where did Shizun go?" ”

And in the Eternal Realm, Chen Hengzhi's retreat has ended.

He stood up, stretched out his hand, and walked out of the Eternal Palace and into the outside world.

I didn't have time to sigh, but I saw that above my head, above the originally clear sky, there were already dark clouds, and there was lightning and thunder, and a breathtaking momentum directly locked on him, so that he couldn't escape at all.

Chen Hengzhi glanced around, only to find that he was in the suburbs of Dali, at this time, feeling this fluctuation of heaven and earth, the Moon Worship Sect Master, Liu Jinyuan, Zhao Ling'er, and Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, who sent their daughter to Dali Tai College to enroll, all rushed over here.

When they saw Chen Heng, they all had smiles on their faces.

Everyone was about to greet him, but they saw Chen Hengzhi waving his hand, and pointed to the cloud above his head, asking them to leave this place quickly to avoid being affected.

After saying hello, Chen Hengzhi no longer paid attention to it, but raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky, his eyes showing a look of contempt.

As if provoked by his attitude, above the Nine Heavens, a huge thunder vortex suddenly formed, exuding endless majesty, as if it was about to smash those who defied divine might.

"Boom!"

As soon as the thunder vortex appeared, one thunderbolt after another poured down, and each lightning pierced the sky, as thick as a bucket, dragging long traces, and smashed down in one fell swoop.

Chen Hengzhi raised his eyebrows, and he didn't backhand, but just stood with his hands in his hands, proudly facing these terrifying thunderstorms.

In an instant, Chen Hengzhi became a thunderbolt man.

All the thunderbolts struck him impartially, and none of them fell, and the whole sky became a blanket of day.

As soon as the thunderbolt came, Chen Hengzhi immediately felt a tingling sensation coming, and countless thunderbolts drilled into his body, and as soon as his mind moved, the thunderbolt power was automatically discharged by his body.

After a while, under the worried eyes of everyone, they saw that the thunder on Chen Hengzhi's body dissipated, and all of them disappeared, like a mud cow entering the sea, and all the power was completely dissolved.

"Boom!"

In the sky, the clouds churned.

Countless thunder and lightning collapsed, and its power suddenly increased several times, and the thunder that was thick as a bucket swelled to the size of a small mountain, and one after another thunder mountains fell down directly.

At this moment, not to mention the Nanzhao Kingdom, the entire human world is trembling, surrendering to the terrifying heavenly might, which makes people unable to rise to the slightest resistance.

The rolling thunder tribulation even alarmed the three realms and six realms, whether it was the demon realm, the demon realm or the ghost realm, the evil spirit realm, one by one the old antiques gradually woke up, and turned their curious eyes to the human world.

Chen Hengzhi's face became extremely solemn, and he secretly hated, as if he didn't expect the Heavenly Tribulation to be so strong, and there was almost no chance left.
