Chapter 123
Ye Jing took the three of them to the viewing platform of the competition venue. There were thousands of disciples resting there. They chatted in small groups, meditated alone, or stared up at the stars in a daze.
Now, all parts of Drunken Sun Peak are full of people, except for the disciples who are on duty to patrol the mountain and serve the guests everywhere, the rest of the people have to come here to rest temporarily.
Ye Jing arranged the three of them in a relatively spacious area, and then confessed and left. He still has a lot of things to deal with.
Another reason why these three people were brought here was because it was convenient for surveillance.
Before figuring out the origins of these three people, Ye Jing would not let his guard down for a moment.
Seeing that Ye Jing was leaving, Zhu San suddenly blocked his way.
"Elder Ye, didn't you say that there was no land to live in? What do I think of the top of the hill, where are the houses tall but there are not many people? ”
"Zhu Sandaoyou, there is a family teacher, and it is also the place where the head of the family lives. Moreover, the heads of the three major sects and several elders were also open-minded, and they vacated their own separate guest houses and lived with our heads. ”
Ye Jing was very dissatisfied with Zhu San's rudeness, but he still took the trouble to explain patiently.
"Which house is next to it? Why don't you even have a figure? ”
Ye Jing suppressed his anger and explained as kindly as possible, "That is the residence left for Zhou Zheng Zhenjun. Zhenjun will be there soon. ”
"Why does Zhou Zheng live in such a big place alone? But let us sleep in the wild? Zhu San's voice suddenly raised, alarming all the disciples in the competition venue. The disciples who were close to each other stood up one after another, slowly forming a momentum of encirclement.
"What? Don't you even let you speak? Ready for a fight? Who is the third master afraid of? I'm with you! ”
Ye Jing looked at Zhu San coldly, "Three fellow Daoists, if you feel that the Drunken Sun Peak is not well entertained, you can leave by yourself!" If there is any resentment, I will take it all in the future! But don't mess with tomorrow's competition! ”
"Elder Ye, don't blame, my third brother doesn't understand the rules!" Shang Da hurriedly stood up, "Third brother, don't make amends to Elder Ye yet!" ”
Zhu San was reluctant to give a salute, "Elder Ye, don't be angry!" If there is a chance another day, the kid still wants to ask Elder Ye for a lesson or two! ”
This is not so much an apology as a provocation.
Shang Da stiffened his face, "Third child, shut up!" Then, he hurriedly smiled at Ye Jing and said, "Elder Ye, my third brother is such a big and small character, don't be angry!" Our brother came this time to watch this hundred-year event, and asked Elder Ye to be accommodating and let us stay! I promise that we are not at all dissatisfied with the arrangement of Drunken Sun Peak, and we will not disrupt tomorrow's competition! ”
Ye Jing actually wanted to drive the three of them away. Now, the masters and elites of the human race are all here, even if these three people are higher in cultivation than themselves, how high can they be? Can it be higher than Shizu and the head of Tianlu Mountain? Besides, there is Zhou Zheng Zhenjun on his side, which is the cultivation of the fourth layer of the immortal level!
It's just that Shang Da's posture is very low, and he has repeatedly promised that he will take good care of Zhu San and will not make any mistakes.
Ye Jing couldn't say anything more. After a few words of stern admonition to the three of them, they hurried to the mountain gate and waited to greet Zhou Zheng.
Waiting for Ye Jing to leave, Shang Da stared at Zhu San fiercely, "Can't you save some snacks?" If it is a big thing that spoils the young master, can you afford to pay the responsibility? ”
Zhu San pursed his lips indifferently, "Dealing with a Zhou Zheng, as for being so cautious?" ”
"You!"
"The third child, listen to the eldest brother! Zhou Zheng is not easy to deal with! Besides, there are also Lotus and Xuanhua. I heard that Yifan also entered the immortal level. ”
Bai Er just said calmly, but Zhu San, who was not convinced by anyone, put away his carelessness, "Big brother, I'm sorry!" I'll listen to you in the future. ”
Shang Da looked at him helplessly, "There is one more variable. I don't know if Zhou Zhenglai will bring Yang Shan and Cheng E with him this time? If they come along, the plan will be canceled this time, and no one will be allowed to do it! ”
"Understood, big brother." Bai Er made a statement first.
Zhu San didn't dare to say anything when he saw Bai Er like this, "Yes!" ”
Besides, after Ye Jing greeted Zhou Zheng, he hurriedly invited him into the courtyard gate of the head of the house. There, several heads and elders led by Xuan Bao had been waiting at the door for a long time.
On the way, Ye Jing had repeatedly confessed to Zhou Zheng, and the welcoming hall of Zui Ri Peak was also temporarily requisitioned and changed to a guest house, so he could only wronged Zhou Zheng to go to the cave of the head.
Zhou Zheng was also taken aback, he didn't expect so many people to come! It can be said that the nearly 100,000 immortal cultivators of the human race are all here this time.
Seeing the Xuanyao people, Zhou Zheng and everyone couldn't help but say a few polite words, and then the guests and hosts sat down.
Yifan began to report to Zhou Zheng and the elders on the competition arrangements and rules for the next few days, and then, after everyone discussed together, finally formulated the selection regulations that everyone was satisfied with.
In this regard, Zhou Zheng only listened and did not participate. In the end, when everyone has discussed it properly, it will be decided by Zhou Zheng and finalized!
Zhou Zheng actually didn't want to be like this, he just came over to cheer, and he also wanted to be low-key and humble. However, his identity and strength do not allow it. Therefore, he had no choice but to pass one item after another according to the established procedures of everyone.
After all the details were finalized, Zhou Zheng got up to say goodbye and went to his residence to rest.
As the host, Yifan naturally needs to be accompanied.
However, after walking for a while, Zhou Zheng found that he was not walking towards his residence, but walking towards the cliff of the back mountain.
He was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask more, just walked forward silently with Yifan. It wasn't until he came to a small cave on the cliff that Yifan spoke.
"Master wants to see you. He's old man, and he has something to explain to you. After speaking, he looked at Zhou Zheng meaningfully.
"Master drove Yichen down the mountain back then, in fact, to protect him! He has a short temperament, and he always thinks that the demon clan has harmed the master, so for the demon cultivators he encounters, if there is a little mistake, he will kill the killer and show no mercy! He is the eldest disciple of Drunken Sun Peak, representing the Seven Great Sects. In doing so, he is easily used by people with intentions to start a war between the human race and the demon race! ”
Zhou Zheng was secretly frightened. He disguised himself so well, how could Yifan, or Fahua, be so sure that he was that Yichen's apprentice Zhou Zheng?
Zhou Zheng can understand Fahua's helplessness and hard work towards Master Yichen. However, he could not speak for the Master. Master has been expelled from the mountain gate, and without a clear statement, he will definitely not be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors without making the decision for Master. Therefore, he couldn't recognize the uncle in front of him, and he couldn't worship the ancestor in the cave as a disciple.
He can only represent himself and come to see his predecessor Fahua.
Yifan naturally understood Zhou Zheng's difficulties, he didn't force Zhou Zheng, but just patted Zhou Zheng's shoulder gently, "If you have the opportunity to see Yichen, let him come back to see Master." ”
"Division... I don't know where Master is now? ”
This sentence is already equivalent to Zhou Zheng himself admitting that he is that Zhou Zheng. He felt that there was no need to hide his identity here.
He briefly told Yifan about the scene after being separated from Master Yichen, "I have searched many times in private, and even the resources of the Law and Punishment Division have been used, but I have never found any trace of Master. ”
Yifan also frowned. He always thought that Yichen had been with Zhou Zheng from beginning to end, at least he was in constant contact, and Zhou Zheng must know his whereabouts! But now it seems that Zhou Zheng is not like lying.
So, where will Senior Brother Yichen be? Can't you even see Master's last glance?
He hurriedly dissipated this sorrow, came to the door respectfully, and gently slammed the door.
"Master, the patrol true monarch Zhou Zheng has arrived."
"Please!" An old man's voice came from inside.
Yifan pushed open the door and asked Zhou Zheng to go in, and when he also went in, he closed the door tightly with his backhand.
"Senior Zhou Zheng, meet the senior!" After speaking, Zhou Zheng knelt down and bowed.
In the cave, Fahua, who was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo collapse, did not stop it, but looked at Zhou Zheng with joy on his face. When he saluted, he laughed, "Yichen's vision is good!" Come, child. Sit next to me! ”
If you take Zhou Zheng's current identity, Fahua's move is extremely rude. However, Zhou Zheng felt very warm in his heart.
Although this voice of the ancestor could not be called, Fahua's affection for himself really made it difficult for him to control himself.
Zhou Zheng sat beside Fahua in a regular manner. Fahua looked at him carefully again, his eyes full of pride!
"Good! Good! Good! In the future, I will hand over the Drunken Sun Peak to you, and I will die without regrets! ”
Fahua's words surprised Zhou Zheng!
"Senior, what do you mean by that?"
"Do you still call me senior? Yichen was driven down the mountain by me, but I never said that I would remove him, and I never denied him as an apprentice! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zheng was overjoyed. He has been with the master for so long, and the only thing the master can't let go of is when he can return to the Drunken Sun Peak. Now, Fahua opened his mouth like this, which was equivalent to re-admitting Yichen's identity as a disciple of Drunken Sun Peak!
This is Master's long-cherished wish!
Zhou Zheng hurriedly knelt down again, "Zhou Zheng, the apprentice of the first generation of the big disciple of the Drunken Sun Peak, meet the ancestor!" ”
"Good! Kids, get up! "Hokko is in a good mood." Yifan, you come over too. ”
Zhou Zheng hurriedly turned around and bowed, "Disciple to meet Uncle Shi!" ”
Yifan didn't wait for Zhou Zheng to kneel down and hugged him. "Zhenjun, no, Zhou Zheng, don't be polite."
Yifan was also overjoyed in his heart, "It's a pity, senior brother, he's not here..."
Fahua waved his hand, "I pushed a hexagram a few days ago, and I can't figure out where Yichen is." However, he should be fine, and his longevity has increased a lot. Come to think of it, Xiuwei has also entered the immortal level! ”
"That's great!" Yifan and Zhou Zheng were very happy to hear the news.
"I've got you a hexagram too." Fahua looked at Zhou Zheng and motioned for him and Yifan to sit down.
"Your past and present lives are covered by the heavens, and you can't see clearly. But through a few occasional clips, plus some of my speculations, I probably deduced two or three points of the truth. ”
Fahua said it easily, but Zhou Zheng and Yifan both knew that with Zhou Zheng's current cultivation, it was already difficult to give him divination, and then snooped into the heavens, the price Fahua paid was unimaginable!
Zhou Zheng was extremely moved!
"You were supposed to be a true immortal! Came to earth when you were thirteen years old! Fahua's first sentence stunned Zhou Zheng.
What do you mean? Zhou Zheng's mind immediately recalled the scene when he was beaten by his father when he was a child. At that time, I had been suspicious, and I felt that I had suddenly come to a strange place. However, the bits and pieces of memories in my brain from birth made me confused, thinking that I had a dream and was a little confused.
Also, later his sudden out-of-body appearance, and that Zhou Zheng, who was exactly the same as himself, was killed by Tang Yun for himself.
He didn't doubt everything of this kind, but he always felt that he couldn't find the way, and he couldn't understand anything!
Now, hearing what the master said, I can't help but suddenly become enlightened. However, then a bunch of questions arise: why did he come to the world? Is the original Zhou Zheng dead? Where are you now? If you are an immortal, you will definitely not come to possess for no reason, so what is your purpose? Are there any tasks that the Heavenly Court has assigned to complete?
Regarding Zhou Zheng's question, Fahua shook his head helplessly, "I can't figure it out either." It's just that your life is full of hardships and disasters. And, in five years, you will have a catastrophe that you will not escape. What's more, it's from the fairy world! ”
Yifan's eyes widened in shock, and Fahua also sighed. On the contrary, Zhou Zheng is very calm!
Zhou Zheng has never stopped all this way, and there are crises everywhere. What a big catastrophe, a small catastrophe, it seems that it is not easy for him to survive by himself any time! So, he didn't care too much.
Besides, what the fairy world is like, he doesn't have too many feelings. He just had an idea, he would fight when he came, and he would talk about it if he couldn't beat it. Anyway, it's a blessing, it's a curse, it's a curse, you can't avoid it!
"There's five more years, it's long!" He comforted Fahua and Yifan, "When the time comes, I will always think of a way!" ”
"Also, it's not a solution to worry about it now!" Fahua couldn't help but feel even more relieved when he saw that Zhou Zheng's mentality was so stable. "However, you have to pay special attention to a person who has been deeply entangled with you since you came into the world, and from whom your great calamity has come from. So, you have to be wary of that person! ”
This statement confused Zhou Zheng.
Who is that person? Entangled with yourself? He first thought of Tang Yun. Her parents were angry because of her, and the original Zhou Zheng was also killed by her. Could it be her?
However, soon Zhou Zheng remembered his uncle Zhou Renming and that Jiang Zhongyi, who all wanted their lives three or four times. Could it be them?
Also, the monk Jin Guangda. The starting point of all his tragic encounters was because of him. Could it be him?
Without allowing Zhou Zheng to think too much, Fahua suddenly said again, "Zhou Zheng, kneel!" I don't have much time to do, and I have to explain a lot of things to you. ”
Zhou Zheng's heart sank, remembering what Fahua said at the beginning, he hurriedly opened his mouth and wanted to refuse tactfully, but was stopped by Fahua.
"Listen to me first." Seeing Zhou Zheng kneeling respectfully in front of him, Fahua spoke, "I originally planned to pass on the position of head to your uncle Yifan, but your uncle insisted on giving this position to your master Yichen. Even so, I don't force it. It's just that your master's whereabouts are still unknown, and according to the rules of Drunken Sun Peak, your uncle will temporarily take the position of head of the family. It would be best if your master could return, if so..., after your uncle abdicated, you would be in charge of Zuiri Peak and become the new head. ”
"Disciple, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task!"
"You are Yichen's only apprentice, and it is only natural that you should take over Drunken Sun Peak. Moreover, this is also the meaning of Yifan. Don't shirk anymore! ”
What Fahua said is unquestionable, and he didn't give Zhou Zheng a chance to shirk at all.
"As for the formation diagram of the Drunken Sun Peak's Mountain Protection Array, the usage of the Drunken Sun Peak's Zhenshan Treasure Demon Slaying Sword, and other miscellaneous matters, the two of you will discuss it in detail in the future, and I won't say much. What I'm going to tell you today is the inheritance of our Drunken Sun Peak, as well as the secrets of the Seven Great Sects. Listen carefully! ”
