Chapter 7: Once out of the customs
Houfeng Xianshui Rock is the place where Zhang Taichu retreated.
Since decades ago, there has been a dark cloud all year round, in which the thunder rolls and never stops.
"The clouds are going to disperse, could it be that the junior brother is going to get out?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes showed expectation, but when he thought of the Luo Tian Jiao that was about to start, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This is a big event, but there will be a lot of old guys from the past.
"Report to the Heavenly Master, Old Man Lu Jinlu, and the elders of other families have already arrived at the mountain gate."
Another disciple in charge of reception came to report, bringing his thoughts back to reality.
"Got it, let's go see them." Zhang Zhiwei said, got up and left.
——
Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Xianshui Rock.
In a deep cave, there is a figure sitting here.
He was wearing the Taoist robe of Longhu Mountain, his long hair had fallen to the ground, his face was covered by thick beard, and only his eyes were closed.
The figure crossed his knees, posing in a posture of five hearts facing the sky, motionless, as if he had long since died, but the exposed skin was glowing with a ruddy jade luster.
Where he sits, there are sunken stone marks, all traces revealing the vicissitudes of life, proving that he has not known how many years he has been sitting here.
If anyone were to observe here, they would find that his chest was still heaving, but the frequency was very low, as if it would take several hours before there was a round of breathing.
Outside of the corresponding cave, the fairy water rock is high in the sky.
There is a thick dark cloud hovering here, in the form of a strange whirlpool, in which there is a rumble of thunder from time to time, accompanied by electric light jumping.
At this moment, the thunder became more and more turbulent, but the dark clouds were like gradually diluted ink, showing signs of dissipating.
Another flash of lightning whipped down, slamming the Xianshui Rock, rumbling with a shock.
In the cave.
The emaciated figure trembled, as if it was gradually awakened by the sound of thunder.
At the same time, a strange qi emanated from his body, like a fresh breeze, blowing the surrounding vines and leaves, and blowing up the long hair that was scattered.
The qi became stronger and stronger, and the wind became more and more fierce, blowing the Taoist robe to the sound of hunting, and the three thousand filaments to dance wildly, as if to pick up all the dust on the body of the sitting Taoist.
There was a crunch click.
Outside the cave, another thunderbolt shot down, and a brilliant light illuminated everything.
At this moment, the dry Taoist suddenly opened his eyes.
Thundered!
In the midst of the thunder, Zhang Taichu regained consciousness and woke up from a meditation that lasted for nearly half a year.
"Xuantian Qi Method, Sevenfold First Order!"
Zhang Taichu let out a low voice, his eyes glowing with a bright light, and he crossed a major hurdle of the Xuantian Qi Method, pushing it from the sixth layer to the seventh layer.
And all this took him decades.
"It's been 70 years, and I'm getting more and more fond of it." Zhang Taichu whispered, his eyes showing emotion.
Seventy years ago, after the end of the Jiashen Rebellion, he sat alone in this cave.
In the words of his master, when to restrain the heart ape, tie the walking Jiao, and see the nature of the heart, it will be successful.
And he stayed in this cave for 70 years, and although he didn't understand much about the clear mind in the master's mouth, he finally gained something, and the whole mind was a lot calmer.
In the past seventy years, on the contrary, the Xuantian Qi Method has been breaking through one after another, from the beginning of the fivefold first order, to the twenty bottlenecks, to the current sevenfold first order.
The further you go, the more difficult it is to break through, and the greater the gain.
He could feel that the foundation of his life had been laid incomparably deeper, and he didn't know how much stronger it was than he was seventy years ago.
The most intuitive embodiment is his facial features.
Not only has he not aged with it in the past few decades, but he has always maintained a very young state with every breakthrough in the exercises.
It's not just youthful on the outside, it's a majestic vitality from the inside out.
"If I continue to practice like this, will one day I be immortal?" Zhang Taichu muttered to himself, thinking to himself if that was considered an immortal?
"That's it, it's been nearly a year since this retreat, Xuantian Qi Method, I have now broken through a major realm, and if I sit down again, I'm afraid I won't gain anything in a short time."
"Let's go for a walk."
Zhang Taichu said, his fingertips flashed with golden light, and the long hair that was scattered on the ground was cut off by Ying Nian, and the long beard on the side of his mouth was also cut off.
He stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked all the way to the cave.
The dark clouds on the horizon faded, and the sun shone down, illuminating his delicate face.
"It's a good day." Zhang Taichu squinted slightly, enjoying the sunbathing that he had not seen for a long time.
But at this time.
In the farther direction of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, there was a faint sound of movement.
Zhang Taichu turned his head to look at it, thinking to himself what kind of day this is, the back mountain will be so lively.
"Let's go check it out."
He thought, taking one step at a time, and disappeared straight into place.
——
Meanwhile.
Dragon and Tiger Mountain, in the open space before the martial arts field.
More and more figures are gathered here, mostly young people, dressed in different costumes, and most of them are fashionable.
But what is the same is that there is a faint and knowable Qi on their bodies - this is a grand event in the Inhuman world.
At this moment, there was a young stranger's eyes shining, and he looked at several figures in front of the martial arts arena with a fanatical expression, with a color of reverence.
"The four big families of the Wang family, the Lu family, the big bosses of the Lu family, Wang Ai, Lu Ci, Lu Jin, and Feng Zhenghao, the president of the Tianxia Association, are all here!"
In the crowd, some people exclaimed, very excited to see the old-timers they had admired for a long time.
It was a few figures led by the old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei, and there was no shortage of living fossil textbook-level figures, who were the real powerhouses of the Inhuman World.
They are all among the top ten in the Inhuman world!
——
At this time, the old heavenly master Zhang Zhiwei, accompanied by his disciple Zhang Lingyu, was receiving visitors in an orderly manner.
"Trouble everyone, in your busy schedule, you can still take time out of your leisure to watch my Longhu Mountain Luo Tian Dajiao."
Zhang Zhiwei looked at them and nodded slightly to them.
"Alas, I'm just accompanying the juniors in the family to join in the fun." Lu Jin said unceremoniously, pointing to the young girl beside him who was holding his arm.
The girl is wearing cool short-sleeved shorts and looks playful and cute.
"The granddaughters of the old Lu family are so old." A short and fat old man smiled and looked very kind, he was the current head of the Wang family, Wang Ai.
As for Wang Ai's words, Lu Jin didn't care, and even his granddaughter Lu Linglong looked absent-minded.
Seeing this, Wang Ai was not surprised or angry, and still had a kind smile on his face.
——
At the same time, in the vast open space outside the martial arts arena.
Zhang Taichu followed the movement and came to this place, and when he saw the lively scene that seemed to be in another world, he felt fresh for a while.
"This is Luo Tian Dajiao?"
Zhang Taichu guessed the activity, but when he saw the few sparse figures in the center of the martial arts arena, his eyes suddenly became cold.
