After He Chong defeated Qiu Tong, life returned to peace, and he followed Shen Peng to continue to practice martial arts in Xifeng. However, rumors spread around, which also made waves in a peaceful life.

When Qiu Tong left, the words "golden light, breaking through the clouds" said at the martial arts conference made many people suspect that He Chong had a panacea and did not take it out, and some people said that the reason why He Chong was able to defeat Qiu Tong was because he was evil, he had become a monster, and he had to be killed, which made He Chong feel a little pressure.

Zuo Tianyang and Qi Rongjie were very angry, saying that those who spread rumors had ulterior motives and couldn't see them well. Ning Jie heard that he wanted to fight with those people, so Shen Peng hurriedly stopped him back. He asked his disciples to protect He Chong, and he went to the main peak to meet the head and senior brother by himself.

Miao Dongshan also heard these rumors and was very angry, although he didn't know what happened to He Chong, Kang Bofeng originally planned to snatch He Chong back from Shen Peng's hands, but now that there were such rumors among the disciples, he was also shaken, afraid that He Chong would be evil and not good for himself.

Shen Peng saw Miao Dongshan and said to him: "Master, He Chong is normal now, he is not evil, and he is alive and well. I am now teaching him martial arts every day, he is also very diligent, only ten days to learn all the moves and skills I taught, in the future he will definitely be the master of our sect, very good for our sect. ”

Miao Dongshan listened, nodded, and was about to say something good to He Chong to suppress the rumors in the sect, but Kang Bofeng quit. He knew that Shen Peng's words were more reliable, so he planned to stir it up at this time and bring He Chong back to the main peak. He said: "Master, the second junior brother is too honest, he always thinks about people for the better, what he says can't be counted, we must get He Chong back, observe him carefully, if he has a problem, get rid of him, if there is no problem, talk about it." ”

Shen Peng knew that Kang Bofeng had bad intentions when he heard it, but he didn't have any convincing words to say, so he was very anxious. At this time, Feng Wanshan and Yu Qingyun also rushed over, and heard the words of Shen Peng and Kang Bofeng outside the door, and after entering the door, they all said that they wanted to get He Chong to their own place, so that the head of the door would be safe.

The four of them argued in front of Miao Dongshan, and Miao Dongshan's head was sweating, and he didn't know who to listen to. In the end, Kang Bofeng, Feng Wanshan, and Yu Qingyun asked Shen Peng to hand over He Chong first, otherwise he would lead his disciples to set foot on the West Peak. As he spoke, he was leaving.

A disciple came in from outside, and Miao Dongshan saw it, wanting to ease the atmosphere, and said, "Don't make a noise first, wait." What are you here to report?"

The disciple said, "Senior Liu Wenyuan has sent you a letter, and I will send it to you. ”

Miao Dongshan hurriedly took the letter, opened it and took a look. "Oh! I see. Miao Dongshan said that this was for himself, and it was also for the three disciples, hoping to attract them to his side and not to leave.

Kang Bofeng said, "Master, what's wrong?"

Miao Dongshan circulated Old Man Liu's letter to them. The three disciples saw it and understood that He Chong had encountered a great thing. It turns out that there is a legend on the rivers and lakes that there is a kind of sacred bird since ancient times, called the Heavenly Bird, which occasionally descends to a certain place on this continent every hundred years, and there must be a monster called evil fog in this place, after it eats the monster, it will glow with golden light all over its body, and then lay an egg. Old Man Liu's master, Ouyang Ze, had eaten the eggs of the Heavenly Bird, so his martial arts were suddenly much higher than everyone else. Old man Liu said that after eating this egg, his body will become elegant, and Qiu Tong judged where He Chong's ability came from according to Old Man Liu's description. Moreover, although the martial arts have been practiced for a long time, the internal strength will become higher and higher.

Master Miao saw that they understood after reading it, and said: "Look, we also know this legend, but we have never taken it seriously." Now He Chong is lucky, he has been favored by God and eaten Xuantian's eggs, this is the blessing of our sect, we should protect him. ”

Kang Bofeng thought about it, but they were still unwilling. Kang Bofeng said: "Master, you said that you want to protect He Chong, I think he can get better protection on the side of the main peak than in the west peak, let him come back, I will take him, and promise to teach him better." ”

Feng Wanshan said: "Senior brother has a problem speaking, why can he be protected in the main peak, it is stronger than here in our north peak." ”

Yu Qingyun also means.

Master Miao disagreed, knowing that the three of them had bad intentions. said let He Chong stay in Xifeng and let them stop fighting. Besides, He Chong is a disciple of his uncle Gan Rong, and he is only temporary with Shen Peng. Don't let them fight anymore.

Kang Bofeng said: "Since the master said it, then we will listen to the master and not argue." ”

suddenly agreed with Miao Dongshan's opinion, which surprised Miao Dongshan. The other two disciples listened to the senior brother and didn't argue, and it was difficult to say anything. And everybody dispersed.

Shen Peng returned to the West Peak and told them about the main peak, telling them to be careful, saying that Senior Brother they might not stop there.

Within a few days, rumors abounded, rumors spread among the disciples that whoever drank He Chong's blood could also have He Chong's ability, and many disciples ran to Miao Dongshan to ask He Chong to hand him over, and they all had to drink He Chong's blood.

Now that it was a mess, Miao Dongshan said, "What is the difference between what you do and the beasts in the field?

No one listened to Miao Dongshan's words, and seeing that Miao Dongshan was unwilling, they all ran to the west peak to find He Chong.

Ning Jie and Zuo Tianyang knew the news early, and hurriedly came back to tell He Chong and let him hide.

He Chong cried, he didn't expect a martial arts competition to bring him such a catastrophe. He asked Shen Peng what to do.

Shen Peng said: "You better hide." Ning Jie, Tianyang, you two take him away, I'll stop him here. ”

He Chong didn't have an idea, the master let him go, and he had to leave. Ning Jie and Zuo Tianyang took him from the back door to the bottom of the mountain, and the disciples who came to the West Peak were all over the house looking for He Chong, and Shen Peng and the remaining disciples couldn't stop it at all. I don't know who said, "The back door is open, it must have run through the back door." ”

A large number of disciples poured out of the back door at once, desperately chasing down the mountain. Xifeng quieted down all of a sudden, and Shen Peng and the others could only ask God to bless He Chong to avoid this catastrophe.

On He Chong's side, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the three of them can't run fast if they want to. Ran and walked until I came to the waterhole halfway up the mountain. They heard the voices of the people chasing them getting louder and closer, and they themselves were too anxious to know what to do.

Zuo Tianyang still has a good brain, he saw that the stone wall next to the waterfall could be climbed up, and there was a very high grass on it, and he Chong and the two of them climbed up. Soon, Zuo Tianyang and Ning Jie climbed up. But He Chong couldn't go up, he climbed to the top, and when he was just one step away, his feet slipped and he fell into the pool.

Ning Jie and Zuo Tianyang were frightened when they saw it and wanted to call him, but the apprentices who were chasing them were almost here, so they had to hide in the bushes.

Among the disciples who chased after him, Lu Wanjin had the most dealings with He Chong, he felt that He Chong's foot strength was not good, so he ran here at most, and asked everyone to look for it together, saying that he had found it, and everyone shared the blood on He Chong's body, and those who saw it had a share. Ning Jie and Zuo Tianyang were hiding above, and when they heard Lu Wanjin's words, they couldn't do anything in a hurry.

Wait, wait, wait, wait for a long time, the disciples turned the area around the waterhole and in the waterhole, but they couldn't find He Chong, they began to suspect that Lu Wanjin was lying, Lu Wanjin couldn't argue, he felt that He Chong couldn't go too far. The disciples searched for a long time, but they couldn't find it, so they pressed Lu Wanjin to the ground and beat him, and then chased him down the mountain.

After Lu Wanjin was beaten, he didn't have the strength to chase after him, and he was afraid of being beaten again, so he ran back and went back to the main peak to report to Kang Bofeng.

Ning Jie and Zuo Tianyang waited for a long time, the sky gradually turned dark, and when it was vague and not yet dark, they saw that no one was here, so they came down from above and looked for He Chong next to the pool, both of them were very puzzled, it was impossible for He Chong to fall down, the deepest part of the pool was just below the knees, and it was crystal clear. How could you not find it.

They carefully groped in the water, hoping to find He Chong. At this time, He Chong emerged from the water behind them.

"Hey, I'm here. He Chong whispered.

Ning Jie and Zuo Tianyang looked back and were startled, Zuo Tianyang asked him, "Where did you hide?"

He Chong said: "I didn't hide anywhere, I fell and lay under the water, I learned at home to hold my breath in the sea, I can hold it for a long time." So, all the time hiding in the water. ”

Ning Jie said: "Impossible, the water is so shallow. How did you get over the years? It's impossible for so many of them not to see. ”

He Chong said: "I am also very strange, when they touch in the water, I am in the water, they can't see me, and they can't touch me." I don't know how. ”

Ning Jie and Zuo Tianyang knew that He Chong was not lying, they felt that their brains were not enough, and they really couldn't figure out what happened to He Chong.

Zuo Tianyang said: "Forget it, the most important thing is to save your life, let's go back first." ”

Ning Jie said: "Zuo Tianyang, are you crazy, aren't you looking for death when you go back?"

Zuo Tianyang said: "You are looking for death, they chase down the mountain, let's go down the mountain is a dead end, let's go back to the head to help." ”

Ning Jie thought about it, Master Shen Peng was probably already watched by others, so he waited for He Chong to go back and throw himself into the net, and go directly to the head of the house to ask for an idea.

The three of them took advantage of the night to sneak back to the mountain and go to the main peak to find Miao Dongshan.
