Chapter Ninety-One: Follow the Branches to Find the Fruit
After the court discussion in the sea of clouds ended, not long after, Zhang Yu received a report from the Xuanting court sent by the Daoist of the Ming Zhou Dynasty, informing him that the Xuanting court would arrange for him to have a discussion with Cen Chuan.
In fact, when the Taoist boy next to the chief executive came to inquire, and he expressed his unwillingness to back down, he knew that there must be a discussion between the two in the end.
He thought for a moment, and came down to prepare for this battle.
As early as after Cen Chuan, a cultivator who belonged to the Zhengqing lineage, returned to Tianxia, he had read the account of this person, but in the Shouzheng Palace, there were not many records about this person.
More than three hundred years ago, after Tianxia occupied the upper layer, the situation at that time was still very unstable, the main pressure came from the outside, and it was necessary to face the Shangchen Heavenly Monks and various evil monsters who invaded the inner layer from time to time, and it could be said that there was no battle every day.
And because the Xuanfa had not yet been supported at that time, the number of cultivators was far inferior to today, and there was no surplus manpower to maintain the rest, and the internal contradictions at that time were covered up by external wars, so the account of each cultivator was naturally very casual.
What's more, these things were written by Cen Chuan himself, and it is difficult to say how much authenticity there is in them.
Zhang Yu understands that in fact, even if these things are true, they are just looking at it now, because this is a record from more than three hundred years ago, and the current Cen Biography may not be what it used to be at all.
Although there are other people in the Zhengqing lineage who have left accounts, although these monks are from one school, each of them has learned different exercises, which may be because this generation has inherited the great power of Guxia and has many exercises in the master's family, so they can always learn a practice that is most suitable for themselves, and it is almost impossible to find confirmation from the side.
He pondered for a moment, judging from Cen Chuan's previous records, he had never been defeated in the battle with the Shangchen Heavenly Cultivator, and it was difficult to defeat the opponent, and he could get out and retreat every time.
And this mana is also very profound, and the reference for his mana in the record is probably the most useful, thinking that his mana will be able to improve after more than 300 years of starving the Xuan Grain, or he can find other things to replenish, but his entry is also limited.
However, he thought to himself that if it was the other party, in order to improve his combat power, he would definitely find a way from somewhere else, such as a magic weapon. After all, one or two multiplier weapons were enough to make up for the monk's own lack of fighting ability, and if he focused on it for more than three hundred years, it would be enough to refine it.
Unlike others, this battle was not fought as a guardian, so he could not borrow any magic weapons, so he could only rely on the robe he had previously cultivated and two flying swords to meet the enemy.
Just when he was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and me, he suddenly felt something in the Xuntian Dao Chapter, and he checked the person who came, and found that the person who was rumored was Dai Gonghan, and his heart moved slightly, so he took his thoughts and said, "Dai Ting is polite." ”
Dai Gonghan's voice came: "Zhang Daoyou is polite. After a pause, he said: "I just ordered my disciple to send a jade talisman to Shouzheng Palace, which is the battle image left by Cen Chuan when he chased a certain cultivator in Shangchentian this time. ”
When Zhang Yu heard this, he said, "I thank you for this."
Dai Gonghan said: "Don't thank me, Cen Chuan's person is too paranoid, or the Zhengqing lineage is like this, they have never let go of the past, and Dai also hopes that Zhang Shouzheng can guard the Eastern Continent." He reminded again: "It's just a rubbing of Zhang Daoyou's battle with others, I believe Cen Chuan can also get it, and Daoyou must be careful about this discussion." ”
Zhang Yu nodded, and then thanked him, and after Dai Gonghan said a few polite words, he retreated.
Zhang Yu was not surprised that this person could help him, in fact, most of the people in the court should know that Cen Chuan had never given up the purpose of abolishing Xuan Xingzhen, and the abolition of Xuan Xuan here was not only for Xuan Xiu, but even Hun Xiu was also included, so many Hun Zhang monks were actually unwilling to see their people gain power.
At this time, a god man walked in outside, presented a jade talisman with both hands, and said, "Shouzheng, someone sent something." ”
Zhang Yu took the jade talisman in front of him out of thin air, stretched out his hand to hold it, and said, "You go." ”
The man of God bowed down and withdrew.
Zhang Yuzheng was about to watch the image of it, but he felt that the intention on the Heavenly Dao Chapter was transmitted, and he recognized the sigil, but it was used by Zhu Feng before, so he brought the idea in, but he had to say in a timid voice: "But Zhang Shouzheng?"
He said, "It's me." ”
The voice said: "The disciple is Du Xiaoxiao, but the disciple of Master Du, the teacher wants to find Zhang Shouzheng to speak, saying that it is an important matter to inform." ”
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I know, please reply to your teacher, saying that I will be there later." ”
Du Xiaoxiao was busy responding, and then retreated.
Zhang Yu did not leave immediately, but first read the contents of the jade talisman, and then got up and left the hall, and when he arrived outside, his mind changed, and he fell outside the pavilion, how Zhu Feng's dojo was still being opened, so she still stopped here.
Zhu Feng personally greeted him from the inside, and politely welcomed him to the palace, and after inviting him to sit down, after greeting him, she said: "I heard that Zhang Shouzheng is going to fight with Na Cen Chuan?"
Zhang Yudao: "Exactly." ”
Zhu Feng said: "When I left Tianxia with Yuan Tong and Bi Ming, I went to visit the boundary established by the Zhengqing line, and at that time Zhengqing intended to recruit us and others, but we all refused, and the three of us had a discussion with the Zhengqing lineage at that time.
Zhengqing's deeds are unfathomable, and they easily overwhelmed Bi Ming Daoyou, Yuan Tong defeated Mei Shang, and I once had a discussion with Cen Chuan, and in the end I failed to distinguish the winner or loser, so that we were able to get away with one victory and one defeat, and the details of my battle with Cen Chuan may be available for Zhang Shouzheng's reference. ”
Zhang Yu was a little surprised, he didn't want Zhu Feng to compete with Cen Chuan, so he turned his mind and said, "Does anyone know about this matter?"
Zhu Feng said: "I don't know this. She thought for a moment, "But the big battle between us and others was very big, and later the Zhengqing line changed the garrison boundary, so this battle is likely to be detected by the Xuan Court." ”
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, he also heard that Chao Huan had repeatedly compared Zhu Feng and Cen Chuan together in the court, and Xu may also have the reason here, he said: "Thank you Zhu Daoyou." ”
Zhu Feng pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Daoist friends don't need to thank each other, if there is no Daoyou, I am afraid that I have been imprisoned by the Xuanting Court at this moment, and I have no foundation in the Xuanting Court now, and I may have a place to turn to Daoyou in the future." ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed, and in an instant, a light and shadow shone in the hall, and two figures also appeared inside, looking like they were facing each other from afar, which was the scene of the battle between Cen Chuan and Zhu Feng more than two hundred years ago.
At this time, at the other end of the sea of clouds, in the Shengou Dao Palace, Wu Tianxu was entertaining the incarnation of Wei Tao, who came to him as a guest.
Wei Tao looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and there is always a curious light in his eyes that does not match his identity, and he looks like a person with a temperament, rather than a convincing Yizhou Xuantou.
At this time, he looked at the strange fish churning in the lake behind the Dao Palace, and saw the huge dark back looming on the deep lake, he said with interest: "This thing is the 'power fish', right, I heard that it was caught by Brother Wu Dao himself from the great lake in the north in his early years, and it seems to have the ability to roll over the land?"
Wu Tianxu said: "Although the words are exaggerated, they are not far behind. The power of this thing lies in the water it carries, the greater the water potential, the stronger its energy, in this lake, it can only overturn a large boat, and if it is allowed to enter the ocean, then it really has the ability to overthrow the continent and land. ”
Wei Tao said with a smile: "It's strange, so are people, some people are like fish, if they are confined in the pond, they can't jump, but when they enter the ocean, they can see their ability." ”
Wu Tianxu looked at him and said, "Wei Daoyou, you are such a person. ”
When Wei Tao heard this, he couldn't help grinning, and waved his hand again and again: "Wu Tingzhi, it's too good, it's too good, I can't afford this praise, haha......" Although he was humble, he couldn't hide that smugness.
Wu Tianxu couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at him, but he knew that although Wei Tao looked frivolous, in fact, his people were unusually calm, and they suppressed the strange gods and monsters around Jingqiu during the period of worrying about Xuanshou, and they did not make any mistakes in doing things.
Wei Tao said: "By the way, I heard that Cen Chuan will fight with that Zhang Shouzheng to determine the ownership of the Eastern Court Protectorate, I don't know which one the chief devotee originally wanted?"
Wu Tianxu didn't answer immediately, but paused for a while before saying, "These two are both handsome, no matter what the victory or defeat is, we can accept it." ”
Wei Tao said: "I can't see it, Cen Chuan is a person who only cares about the result, and never cares about the means and the end, if he guards the capital and protects the mansion, even if he can achieve his wish in the end, but the people of the capital and the palace are afraid that they will have to bear more." ”
Wu Tianxu said in a deep voice: "But Daoist friends also know that he is a Xuan Xiu, and now there are many fellow Daoists in the upper echelons who are on guard, and what the chief deacon has to consider is also something more long-term." ”
Wei Tao said disapprerovingly: "Zhen and Xuan are both people who ask the Tao, for my generation, as long as the Tao is, why do we need to distinguish what method to use to seek the Tao?"
Wu Tianxu shook his head and said, "Things in the world, if only they could be so simple to identify. ”
Wei Tao didn't care about this, and he didn't care about this, so he said with interest: "Why does Wu Ting insist on winning or losing?"
Wu Tianxu pondered for a moment and said, "I think the key to this battle depends on the understanding of these two opponents. ”
In the battle between two monks, there are many factors that determine the outcome of the battle, as long as the difference between the merits of each other is not too large, then they can fight, but there is no question, whoever knows the opponent better, who has more victory.
Wei Tao said: "In this way, that Zhang Shouzheng is going to suffer a little. ”
Wu Tianxu nodded, agreeing with this opinion.
Although this battle was a fair contest on the surface, how could there be any real fairness in the world? Cen Chuan wanted to know Zhang Yu, and there were many channels, after all, Zhang Yu's cultivation time was not long, and many accounts are still there, but Cen Chuan is different, the past records are only a few words, and after more than 300 years of expulsion, no one knows what his current strength is.
Wu Qingxu said in a deep voice: "This victory and defeat is not only in a face-to-face competition, but also in addition to the battle, who can make good use of these, who can take on the heavy responsibility." ”
