Chapter 56: The White Crane Immortal with the Sword
Where did the sloppy drunkard come from?
How dare you disturb the sacredness of the crane?
This was the first reaction of the vast majority of people present, but then they realized that something was wrong, this sloppy drunkard seemed to have fallen from this crane.
He came here on this crane??
These people watching around the ring only felt that they had really earned money by coming to see the excitement this time, and they had seen the excitement that they might not have been able to see in the past half of their lives.
First of all, Zhou Heng of the ninth rank counter-killed the master of the eight-rank list, and it was Tian Chong, the general secretary of Buwu, who wanted to remove Zhou Heng, and then the general department of Buwu in the county city flew over, and the situation was reversed.
Now there is a strange Taoist priest riding a white crane again, and it seems that he is also looking for Zhou Heng?
Who is this Zhou Heng?
How did you attract so many characters who are not ordinary at first glance?
In fact, not only those who came here to watch were puzzled, but even Zhou Heng himself was a little confused.
Who is this drunkard Taoist?
Where did he come from?
What do you want me to do?
What's going on?
When Kong Chengshun saw this white crane and the drunkard Taoist priest, his brows immediately furrowed, and he didn't know what he thought, and his face changed slightly.
Pei Zhantu also looked at the Taoist priest who suddenly came with a crane with a stunned expression, and his eyes were a little puzzled.
Obviously, he knew this Taoist priest, but he couldn't figure out why this Taoist priest came here.
Liu Changsheng, who was under the ring, also widened his eyes.
He didn't know this drunkard Taoist priest, but he knew this Taoist priest's robe.
Although this robe is full of oil stains, and there are many places with hard shells, the overall style can still be seen clearly.
This is the Dao robe of the Pure Yang Palace!
And judging from this style, this drunken drunkard Taoist priest is at least a sixth-grade, or even a fifth-grade cultivator.
There is actually another strong man who is suspected of being a grandmaster!?
Who is Zhou Heng?
Could it be that he really has some uncanny hidden identity?
Now Liu Changsheng suddenly felt a little lucky, fortunately, he had not succeeded in inviting Zhou Heng before.
Otherwiseβ
If he really accepted Zhou Heng as a disciple, I am afraid that he would not be hammered by these big guys.
"Why is he here?" Steward Wang seemed to know this drunken Taoist priest, but he was also very puzzled.
"Who is this Taoist priest?" Liu Changsheng asked, "Steward Wang, do you know him?"
"Fifty years ago, he was the first on the list, the true legend of Chunyang Palace, and You Ziheng, who was known as the 'White Crane Immortal with the Sword'. Steward Wang looked at the drunken Taoist priest who had not yet gotten up in the ring, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
"You Ziheng!?" Liu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the sloppy drunken Taoist priest in disbelief, "Doesn't it mean that the sword-wielding White Crane Immortal is a chic and handsome character, as outstanding as a sword immortal......?"
Steward Wang shook his head and said nothing.
Zhou Heng's ears were sensitive, and when he heard the words of Liu Changsheng and Steward Wang, his heart suddenly became abrupt.
It turned out that this person was from the Pure Yang Palace.
Then he understands, this should be inseparable from Cheng Jiangjian.
When Cheng Jiangjian said goodbye to him, he said goodbye and left as a disciple of Chunyang Palace.
"Is it because of my Pure Yang Body that she intends to introduce me to the Pure Yang Palace to learn martial arts?" Zhou Heng guessed in his heart You Ziheng's intentions.
"You Ziheng, why are you here?" Pei Zhantu was a figure of the same era as this drunkard Taoist, and asked suspiciously: "You came to find Zhou Heng?"
Kong Chengshun's face suddenly changed when he heard this name, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The younger generation Changxing sent the true inheritance of Kong Chengshun to meet the seniors of Chunyang Palace." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately knew You Ziheng's identity.
This drunken Taoist priest is actually a person from the Pure Yang Palace!
Seeing him fall from the sky with a crane, I am afraid that he is at least a sixth-grade master, and maybe even a fifth-grade grandmaster!
Pure Yang Palace!
This is one of the three palaces of the world's Daomen, and its palace master is the first in the heavenly list today, overpowering the world.
It is rumored that within his sect, there are also immortals who have stepped into the realm of Yipin, sacred, and can be called the strongest of the gods.
The inheritance is incomparably long-lasting.
Although it is difficult for outsiders to verify the specific age, some things can also be confirmed from the available information, as early as before the Middle Ages, the Chunyang Palace has existed for an unknown number of years.
There is no doubt that this is one of the most powerful sects in heaven and earth.
Compared to it, what the Five Elements Sect, what Pingzhou Pei Clan, are all overshadowed!
As for the Changxing faction, it is not worth mentioning.
"Hiccup, Zhou Heng, where is Zhou Heng?"
You Ziheng looked around in a daze, completely ignoring Pei Zhantu and Kong Chengshun, and finally his gaze swept to Zhou Heng, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face covered by his hair, "Hahaha, I finally found you kid!"
He laughed and got up from the ground, his originally misty eyes seemed to be slightly clearer, he looked at it, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right, it's you kid." β
"Senior looking for me?" Although Zhou Heng was very confused, he still maintained his due politeness.
It's always right to be polite and polite.
"Knock knock. β
You Ziheng picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth, looked at Zhou Heng, and said straight to the point: "That's right, I came to find you, by the way, I ask you, are you interested in being a disciple of my Pure Yang Palace?"
Hiss!!
At this moment, the cool air sauce around it was completely sucked dry, and there was not a drop left.
Everyone present was shocked, and they all looked at Zhou Heng and You Ziheng with incredulous faces.
Oh, my God!
What's going on??
The people of the Pure Yang Palace took the initiative to come to Zhou Heng and wanted to accept him as a disciple of the Pure Yang Palace!?
This is the Pure Yang Palace!
Who is Zhou Heng, who even attaches so much importance to the Pure Yang Palace?
Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang on the high platform only felt dizzy, as if they were dreaming.
No, even if it was a dream, they didn't dare to imagine that the martial artist they had cultivated in this martial arts hall was actually favored by the Pure Yang Palace and wanted to be accepted as a disciple!!
It's incredible!
It's incredible!
Yun Sleeve and the others were even more completely stunned, they were all friends who were very familiar with Zhou Heng, and the current situation was completely beyond his cognition.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would even wonder if this Zhou Heng was the one they knew.
This is the Pure Yang Palace!
"Do you want to accept him directly?" Pei Zhantu was also a little surprised, and said suspiciously: "You specially came from the Pure Yang Palace to find him?"
Although he could also see that Zhou Heng was extraordinary, he didn't get to the point where the Pure Yang Palace personally came to recruit disciples.
A top martial arts sect like the Pure Yang Palace is extremely strict in the selection of disciples, not only to see their talent and qualifications, but also to go through layers of selection and assessment before they can really get started.
How can it be so casual?
"Hehe, it's not. You Ziheng shook his head, poured another sip of wine, and said with a smile: "I drove the crane to Dongli Mountain to buy wine, and suddenly on a whim, I sensed that there was a person named 'Zhou Heng' here who was related to my Pure Yang Palace, so I came down to take a look." β
"I see. Pei Zhantu suddenly realized, he didn't know that You Ziheng was just fooling him, and the doubts in his heart suddenly dissipated.
The Pure Yang Palace has a long and ancient heritage, and it is said that there are still means of the ancient Immortal Buddha era, and the whim that You Ziheng said suddenly feels that the situation of fate does exist, and it is not just an excuse.
If this was the case, he would understand why You Ziheng would appear here, and let Zhou Heng worship in the Pure Yang Palace.
Everything is just a coincidence.
You Ziheng passed by here, and landed on a whim.
Only a coincidence can explain it, otherwise how could the Pure Yang Palace come from thousands of miles to receive a disciple?
"Does the Dao Chief want me to worship in the Pure Yang Palace?" Zhou Heng's eyes lit up.
He has no shortage of martial arts, but he lacks teachers and seniors who can guide him to martial arts experience, and he also lacks peers who can compete and dismantle moves and make progress together.
This is also one of the reasons why he still chose to participate in the assessment and try to join the Changxing faction after obtaining the system.
Moreover, having read through "Journey to the West" many times, he knows very well that there is no backstage in many cases, and it is often the difference between heaven and earth, and even life and death.
Although the Changxing Sect can only be regarded as medium when looking at the entire Great Qi, it is already considered the strongest martial arts sect in the area near Huangtong Mansion City.
For an ordinary person like him who came out of the mountains, it can definitely be used as a good backstage.
At least that's how it was until his own strength really became stronger.
Now the Changxing faction is no longer possible.
Originally, Zhou Heng wanted to wait for his strength to become stronger and earn some fame on the list, so he went to find some better sects to see if he could get started.
Unexpectedly, the Pure Yang Palace actually came directly to the door!
Cheng Jiangjian, this little girl is really good, if you have the conditions in the future, see if you can make chocolate for her to taste.
"What, my heart is moving?" You Ziheng burped, spit out a mouthful of wine, and said with a smile: "Although I feel that you are destined for our Pure Yang Palace, it is not up to me whether you can really get started, and there is still an assessment."
"As for what the specific assessment is, tomorrow, I'll tell you tomorrow, well, I'll tell you when I think about it tomorrow, phew, look at my mouth, I'm saying that I will remember it tomorrow, phew, it's tomorrow anyway!"
He seemed to be so drunk that his head was not very sober, and his speech was a little slurred, and he walked to Pei Zhantu's side again, and said with a smile: "Hey, old Pei, we haven't seen each other for decades, don't you drink two jars of wine with me?"
The two are of similar age, have competed with the same generation, and are quite familiar with each other.
"I have an official status now. Pei Zhantu frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." β
"Oops, trouble. You Ziheng waved his hand, a little disappointed, and said: "Then you arrange a better restaurant for me, and get me more good wine, this is your territory, otherwise I will think you are careful." β
As he spoke, he swaggered down to the ring, and the white crane, which was more than a foot tall, suddenly shrunk to the size of a sparrow and flew to his shoulder.
Zhou Heng looked at his departing back, and suddenly felt that the Pure Yang Palace was ...... Doesn't seem to be very reliable?
Kong Chengshun breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried just now, for fear that You Ziheng would find out that he had previously wanted to suppress Zhou Heng and seal Zhou Heng's martial arts path.
Both the Chunyang Palace and the Changxing Sect are sects, and if You Ziheng targets him, there will be no problems that will cause further contradictions between the family court and the sect.
You Ziheng only needs to knock on the head of Changxingmen a little to make Kong Chengshun walk around without eating.
But just when Kong Chengshun's mind was just relaxed.
You Ziheng, who was about to jump out of the ring, suddenly stopped, his right hand was pinched into a sword finger, and he turned it slightly, and the invisible Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was suddenly stirred, and it was actually condensed into thousands of sword lights in an instant!
Zheng!
The sound of the sword sounded, like a crane in the sky, resounding throughout the universe!
These thousands of sword lights flew to Kong Chengshun's side at the same moment, enveloping him in all directions.
Moreover, these sword lights are only a hair's length away from really stabbing him!
Kong Chengshun immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and the fear in his heart almost exploded.
"Kneel down and go and apologize to the destined people of my Pure Yang Palace. You Ziheng stood with his hands in his hands, his back to Kong Chengshun, and only said this lightly, then shook his sleeve robe, withdrew the sword light, jumped out of the ring, and staggered away.
Kong Chengshun's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and although the sword light had been withdrawn, he was still immersed in the fear that suddenly came like a storm just now.
Almost without thinking, he knelt down in front of Zhou Heng and shouted: "I'm sorry! Please forgive Zhou Heng Gongzi, please Zhou Heng Gongzi don't remember the villain!"
"Huh. Zhou Heng sneered, but he didn't even bother to look at Kong Chengshun, turned around directly, and said to Pei Zhantu: "Mr. Pei, can I hold a banquet to thank you for your help?"
"No, I just did what I was supposed to do. Pei Zhantu still said the same thing, he smiled and said: "Helping you is also helping myself." β
With that, he took off into the air and flew to a tall building not far away.
Zhou Heng looked at his figure, as well as Pei Luoling on the tall building, and roughly guessed what happened.
Pei Luoling obviously ran away, and Pei Zhantu most likely came to "catch" Pei Luoling to go back and help him solve the current trouble, most of which was Pei Luoling's "request" to go back.
"Thank you. Zhou Heng waved his hand to the girl on the tall building.
Pei Luoling was originally facing away from Zhou Heng, but she seemed to sense her side, so she turned around and happened to see Zhou Heng waving his hand, and her originally sad expression was suddenly full of smiles.
She began to look forward to the future:
"Well, I'll come here again in the future to listen to you tell you a good story. β
......
This Changxing faction's assessment competition ended in an unprecedented way.
Next, if nothing else, Zhou Heng will get the support policy of the Buwu Division of Huangtong Mansion.
It's not just money.
There's also a chance to ask a forger in the army to craft an exclusive weapon.
This is an opportunity that money can't buy!
Huang Jingfu and Hong Kang are most likely removed from their respective positions as owners, and there may be other punishments.
In addition to Zhou Heng, the biggest winner is the Longxing Martial Arts Hall.
Before Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang could react, the martial arts hall was crowded with people, all waving silver tickets, and they wanted to send their children over to learn martial arts.
Zhou Heng didn't plan to pay attention to these disturbances, after he got down from the ring, he had a meal with Yu He and Yun Sleeve, and then returned home.
There are a lot of things I have experienced in this day, and tomorrow I may have to face the assessment of You Ziheng who doesn't know what it is, so it's only serious to take a good rest.
But he didn't sleep long, and soon woke up.
Looking out the window, the night was dark and the wind was high.
Zhou Heng sat on the bed, the room was silent, he frowned slightly, and wondered: "Did I ignore something?" I always feel that something is not right, Kong Chengshun's sword?"
Zheng!
At this time, a sword roar sounded in the room without warning, and Zhou Heng saw that on the table next to his bed, a long sword with a simple shape appeared out of thin air.
"Yes, you did ignore me. β
The ancient sword trembled slightly.
An old voice sounded.
