Zhang Ruohan's request was something that Chen Heng couldn't refuse, so he didn't hesitate to accept it directly.

The two of them went down the mountain together and came to Fang Market at the foot of the mountain, but Chen Heng did not stay, but continued to take Zhang Ruohan to the north.

Zhang Ruohan asked a little strangely, "Brother Chen, why don't we take the flying machine?"

Chen Heng smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to Qingling Town first, it's not far from here, and there is no need for a flying machine." ”

The aircraft is fleeting, and if it goes too close, I'm afraid it will fly over all of a sudden, and then I will have to walk back again.

Zhang Ruohan nodded, although he didn't know what Chen Heng was going to do there, he didn't ask much, he just walked forward behind Chen Heng.

Chen Heng seemed to realize something, patted his head, and asked, "I've been away from home for many days, are you a little nervous about going back now?"

Zhang Ruohan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "This is the first time I've been so far away from home, and I don't know what happened to the nurses, I just hope that my uncle won't blame them for my business." ”

Chen Heng has been a person since he was a child, and he can't empathize with Zhang Ruohan's thoughts, but he can still imagine it somewhat, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, according to what you said, your uncle is not a very vicious person, and he won't embarrass them too much." ”

Perhaps to give Zhang Ruohan more time to adjust his mentality, Chen Heng did not rush to the road, but stopped and stopped, enjoying the surrounding scenery along the way.

It was nearly noon, Chen Heng pointed to a small stream not far away and said, "Let's rest here for a while and catch some fish to wrap our stomachs." ”

Zhang Ruohan had no objection to this, and the two rested by the stream.

With their current strength, it couldn't be easier to catch fish, but after a while, they caught a few big fish, and the two of them still had leftovers to eat.

Sitting by the stream, Chen Heng pondered the refining pill given by the giant ape in his heart, and slowly understood it, and waited for the Qingling alfalfa to practice.

After the two of them had almost rested, they went on the road again, because Zhang Ruohan had been a little dull, and Chen Heng had not walked too quickly, until the sun went down, he had only walked dozens of miles, which was like a turtle speed for them cultivators.

Although Qingling Town was not far away, it was still some distance away, and it was difficult for them to arrive before the sun went down.

"There seems to be a deserted temple ahead, and we will rest there tonight, and then we will set off tomorrow morning. ”

Chen Heng pointed to a dilapidated temple not far ahead, and said to Zhang Ruohan.

Zhang Ruohan nodded, and then said in a muffled voice: "Brother Chen, I'm really sorry, because of my business, I delayed you a lot of time." ”

Chen Heng smiled slightly and said, "What are you talking about?" I told you a long time ago, I treat you like my own brother, you don't have to be so polite as me." ”

When the two approached, they found that the deserted temple was extremely dilapidated, covered with cobwebs, dilapidated, and had not been visited for a long time.

Although it is dilapidated, the two of them at least have a place to stay, which is much better than sleeping in the mountains.

"Let's go inside!"

Chen Heng didn't pay too much attention to it, and took Zhang Ruohan into the deserted temple, disturbing many wild foxes living here, frightening them to jump around, and soon fled into the barren mountains.

"I didn't expect that at the foot of Zhenwu Mountain, there would be such a desolate place, and I don't know who built this temple before, and it has been abandoned for so long. ”

The two entered it, and found that there were many wild beasts living in the main hall, and they were disturbed and fled after they entered, and the Buddha statue in the hall was also crooked and full of dust, which showed that this temple had been abandoned for many years, and even passers-by did not enter much.

"Hey, what is this?"

Chen Heng was sweeping the dust on the side, preparing to clean a quiet place to rest, but suddenly heard Zhang Ruohan's slightly curious voice on the side.

Chen Heng turned his head and saw that it was an offering table in front of the Buddha statue, and everything else on it had been stacked in a messy manner, only a large wooden tool was placed on the table intact.

The wooden tool was almost half the size of a man, shaped like a fish's head, hollow in the middle, and had a round hammer stuck in two holes exposed at the front.

Glancing slightly, Chen Heng said: "That is called Muyu, which is used by some monks who worship Buddhism to tap the scriptures. ”

Because Buddhism has disappeared for many years, few people know the history of Buddhism now, and Chen Heng also accidentally saw it when he was reading the classics before.

Zhang Ruohan looked at the huge wooden fish and asked with some surprise, "Monk, why do they want to knock on the wooden fish?"

Chen Heng smiled slightly and said, "According to the classics, this wooden fish was actually a percussion instrument a long time ago, and it was an accompaniment instrument for the Buddhist 'Brahman'.

Muyu Tongmu is stupid, usually used to call a person stupid, to hammer it, is to knock it awake. ”

"Oh!"

Zhang Ruohan nodded his head like a chicken cutting rice, looked at the wooden fish with great interest, and even took out the hammer head, tapped the wooden fish, and made a dull sound.

Although the wooden fish is intact, it has been placed here for many years, and it is full of dust, and it has long lost its crisp sound.

Seeing Zhang Ruohan's childish temperament, Chen Heng also smiled, but when he saw that he took his words seriously, he was a little surprised: "Do you really believe it?"

Zhang Ruohan was also surprised, puzzled: "What Brother Chen said is naturally the truth, how can Ruohan not believe it?"

Chen Heng chuckled lightly and said, "That's just a record in the classics, and most of them are just false rumors." Come here!"

Chen Heng beckoned to Zhang Ruohan, took out the stream fish caught on the road, and said, "Look at this fish, no matter morning or dusk, its eyes are always open." ”

"The fish does not fit day and night, and carves wood like a fish, and strikes it with this, which is used to admonish day and night thinking. When reciting sutras and confessions, they cooperate with the copper chime to control the chanting. ”

After listening to Chen Heng's words, Zhang Ruohan thought for a while and said: "In this way, the reason why they use wooden fish is because the fish are sleepless day and night, and they are awake and drowsy, and they work hard?"

Chen Heng nodded and said: "That's what it means, because the classics are all written by predecessors, and the person who wrote them should have a wide range of knowledge, but as long as they are people, there will always be mistakes." Therefore, you can learn from the things in the books, but you can't believe them all, and you have to think and verify everything by yourself. ”

Zhang Ruohan nodded in understanding and said, "Brother Chen, what do you mean, Ruohan understands." No matter how powerful a person is, his vision is limited after all, and he can't blindly follow what he sees and hears in front of him, he needs to have an in-depth understanding and treat everything calmly. At the same time, if you want to get something, you have to rely on your own unremitting efforts to fight for it. ”

In this way, the great husband can stand between heaven and earth, and he can be fearless. ”

Chen Heng smiled slightly, patted Zhang Ruohan's head, and said, "You rest here for a while, and I'll go outside to find more firewood and come back." ”

Now it is late autumn, and the night is a little cool, although with their cultivation can not be afraid of the cold, but they can make a fire to keep warm, naturally it is still more comfortable.

Chen Heng left Zhang Ruohan in the deserted temple and went out to collect materials by himself.

In this barren mountain, it is not difficult to find some broken wood and firewood, but in a moment, Chen Heng has already found enough firewood to go back.

However, when he had just returned to the deserted temple and had not yet entered, he suddenly heard the sound of scolding and fighting from inside, and his heart was shocked.

I just left for a while, why did someone come here so quickly, and he was still in contact with Zhang Ruohan?

Chen Heng stepped forward softly and came to the temple gate to look inside. The original few broken trees in the temple have been lit by Zhang Ruohan, and with the help of the dim bonfire, you can see the situation inside.

In addition to Zhang Ruohan in this temple, there were three other young people, wearing blue clothes and white edges, who seemed to be from the same force, and they didn't know what conflict the two sides had, at this time Zhang Ruohan was forced into a corner by one of them.

Judging from the momentum of the other party's shot, it should be the realm of the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow, and it is also from a certain sect, and its strength is obviously not something that Zhang Ruohan can fight against.

"Hehe, with your little cultivation, you don't deserve to lift shoes for your uncle, and you dare to speak out. ”

At this time, although Zhang Ruohan could only resist with all his might, he was not weak and was not afraid of danger.

Facing the other party's disdainful tone, he said angrily: "You are the one who is ashamed, if you don't apologize, even if I can't beat you, I won't give up easily!"

Listening to Zhang Ruohan's extremely angry words, the three young people in the temple all burst out laughing, as if they had heard some extremely ridiculous joke.

And the man who forced Zhang Ruohan into a corner and didn't attack with all his strength said contemptuously: "What I'm saying is the truth, the True Martial Sword Sect is originally a garbage sect, not only the sect is rubbish, but the disciples who come out are also rubbish, just like you." With your little strength, what can you do if you don't give up?"

Zhang Ruohan was so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck, and wanted to refute, but the other party suddenly added a little more strength, which suddenly pressed Zhang Ruohan's breath for a while, and he didn't have any extra strength to speak.

Chen Heng, who was standing outside the door, saw this scene and already knew it in his heart.

It seems that when he went out to look for firewood, these people also passed by here and came in to rest. Originally, with Zhang Ruohan's temperament, he would not deliberately provoke the other party. Perhaps it was when they were talking, their words revealed their disrespect for the True Martial Sword Sect, and Zhang Ruohan spoke against it.

came and went, and those people were more serious than Zhang Ruohan, and they didn't feel ashamed to bully a child who was only nine years old with those twenty-somethings.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, seeing that the other party was getting more and more ruthless, and Zhang Ruohan was gradually losing his strength, Chen Heng didn't hesitate anymore, the nine changes of fluttering flocculent unfolded, and his body rushed out in an instant, and at the same time he raised the Star Tears Sword and stabbed straight towards the other party.

"Be careful!"

Chen Heng's figure had just appeared, and among the two people standing behind, a relatively young man had a staring look in his eyes, and subconsciously reminded him.

It's a pity that Chen Heng's speed is too fast, and they are defenseless, and they will never miss a sword when they come out.

With a "ding" sound, under the attack of the star tears full of strength and at the same time full of Chen Heng's anger, the long sword in the hand of the young man who forced Zhang Ruohan into the corner was suddenly broken in two. And because of the anti-shock force, he instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body suddenly flew back, and his face turned pale.

Chen Heng's sword is infused with innate power, and with his acquired consummation realm, it is expected that there will be such an end.

"Brother Chen!"

Chen Heng's figure appeared in front of Zhang Ruohan, and Zhang Ruohan immediately found out, and his face suddenly became happy.

Chen Heng looked at the three young men in blue clothes and white in front of him, turned his back to Zhang Ruohan and nodded to him, and said softly: "You are watching from the side, and they will be handed over to me." ”
