Chapter 266: Meet Cheng Hongming and get together to talk about important matters
"Knock knock!
A dull knock sounded in the room, and the people who were meditating in the room frowned, but showed no sign of waking up. After a while, the knock on the door sounded again, but it sounded a little hurried.
"Knock knock!
The person in meditation frowned, and there were already signs of waking up.
"Senior brother can you be in the house?"
Hearing a familiar sound coming from outside the house, the meditating person finally opened his eyes. He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and only then began to talk back when he knew that his breathing had become steady.
"I've been waiting for a long time, so I'll come here. ”
As he spoke, the meditator had completely stood up, and he walked two quick steps to the door and gently opened it.
"Don't blame you, junior brother, I was meditating and pranayama just now, so I didn't respond to junior brother in time. ”
Seeing the people outside the house looking at him with a smile on their faces, Cheng Hongming explained the reason why he didn't open the door in time.
"How can it, the first time I knocked on the door, I guessed that my senior brother was meditating and pranayama. I wanted to visit again next time, but I was a little anxious after thinking about it, so I was embarrassed to disturb my brother. ”
Xu Chenglin smiled embarrassedly, with a little apology in his tone.
"Senior brother, please come in, there is something to discuss in detail in the room. ”
Hearing that Xu Chenglin was in a hurry, Cheng Hongming hurriedly let him into the house.
The two of them sat down in the room, Xu Chenglin glanced around the room, and then raised his hand to close the door. When the door was closed, the light in the room suddenly seemed a little dim. Looking at Xu Chenglin's face, Cheng Hongming felt depressed for no reason. Shaking his head slightly, Cheng Hongming put aside this inexplicable thought and asked Xu Chenglin with a serious face.
"Senior brother just said that he has something urgent to talk about, I don't know what's going on?"
After a slight groan, Xu Chenglin frowned and said.
"I wonder if Senior Brother has been to Fang City recently?"
did not directly say the reason, Xu Chenglin asked Cheng Hongming a question instead.
"I haven't been there! Senior brother should know that I am an ascetic, and if it were not for the necessary things, I would not have gone to Fang Market easily. Coincidentally, I didn't lack anything all these years, so I didn't go once. ”
Shaking his head, Cheng Hongming told him truthfully.
After a little thought, Xu Chenglin instantly briefly told the rumors he heard.
"Then it's no wonder! I don't know if Senior Brother knows about the rumors in Fang City. It is rumored in the market that there is about to be another dispute on the Pure Land. The three sealed lands are about to ignite the flames of war. ”
Hearing Xu Chenglin's story, Cheng Hongming smiled mysteriously. He lightly clasped the table with his fingers and said unhurriedly.
"It turned out that this matter was not useful to their rumors, and everyone already knew it in their hearts. This battle should have broken out many years ago, but there were some things that happened at that time, and everyone tacitly agreed not to intervene. ”
"What else is hidden in it? Senior brother, you might as well talk about it!"
Xu Chenglin was slightly curious, and couldn't help but ask the other party.
"Actually, it's nothing, let's start with the battle between the Ten Thousand Law Immortal Sect and the Ascension Immortal Sect. The outcome of that battle was not public
cloth, but since then there has been a tacit agreement between the two sides. Since then, the Leaping Monks on the Pure Land have basically disappeared. Walking in their place, it was all Qi Condensing Monks like us. On the Pure Land, the Yuefan monks tacitly acquiesced, and the battle could only be carried out during the condensation period. ”
Cheng Hongming frowned, thinking back to what he knew.
"I see, the current calm situation in this Pure Land is thought to be caused by this agreement. ”
Nodding, Xu Chenglin's face showed a look of understanding.
"Senior brother, don't think that if the Yuefan monk doesn't move, this Pure Land will be peaceful. Nowadays, the relationship between the monks and the enemy is a little delicate, sometimes they fight when they meet, and sometimes they pretend that they can't see each other. But that's it, the Qi Condensation Cultivators on our side have also fallen a lot. There is no other reason than the appearance of a few great monks in the opposing camp. Five of these people are from the Ascending Immortal Sect, two are from the Shadow Sect, and two are supposed to be from the Immortal Sect. There were nine people in total, and they were the ones who intercepted and killed many of our monks. ”
Afraid that Xu Chenglin would be careless, Cheng Hongming patiently explained to him. He shook his head slightly.
Cheng Hongming only cared about talking at this time, and didn't pay attention to Xu Chenglin's watch at all. If he saw the other party's watch at this time, he would definitely feel extremely strange. That's right, Xu Chenglin's current watch is extremely strange. Because after hearing about the nine people, he always felt a little familiar. He thought of the nine people he had met in the desert, but he wasn't sure.
"Senior brother, have you met those nine people?"
Xu Chenglin asked tentatively, but did not expect an answer.
"I met it, but the other party didn't do it after seeing me cultivating. ”
"Oh, my brother has actually encountered it!"
Xu Chenglin was a little interested, and couldn't help but continue to ask.
"What do you know about the appearance of the nine?"
"Among the nine people, there are two masked men in black, who are supposed to be monks of the Shadow Sect. As for the two soft-looking men in red, they should be monks of the Immortal Sect. The remaining five Immortal Ascension Sect cultivators, I didn't pay much attention to them. The only thing that impressed me more was another white-haired young man among the five. Looking at that guy's cultivation, he has already reached the late stage of condensation. Among the nine people, it seems that he is the leader. ”
Xu Chenglin's appearance was even more strange, according to Cheng Hongming's description, the nine people they met before happened to be the same as the people he said. Recalling the form of the nine people I met before, it seems that the other party is really powerful. The seven of them plus the Golden Flame Eagle can tie with each other, but if they are someone else, it is really not necessary.
"According to Senior Brother Cheng, the other party should be very extraordinary, but when he met Senior Brother, he didn't do anything, is it ......?"
Thinking of a certain possibility, Xu Chenglin's eyes lit up. He looked at Cheng Hongming's gaze and couldn't help but explore.
"What's the matter with junior brother?"
Feeling the other party's searching gaze, Cheng Hongming felt slightly strange. He didn't mind the other party's actions, but asked openly.
"Dare to ask Senior Brother what realm he is in now?"
Without beating around the bush, Xu Chenglin asked directly.
"It has reached the late stage of condensation, if the time is heavy enough, it is not impossible to impact Yuefan within ten years!"
With a confident smile, Cheng Hongming directly reported his cultivation realm.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother, maybe I will change my name to Uncle Shi in ten years!"
Clenching his fists slightly, Xu Chenglin smiled and teased Cheng Hongming.
"Senior brother said with a smile, aren't you also in the middle stage of condensation now. Ten years of condensation, and less than three years to the middle of the year. At this rate, the later stage is only a few years. As for the leaping period, the breakthrough is not also a trend. ”
Waving his hand gently, Cheng Hongming also smiled and praised Xu Chenglin.
Senior brother laughed, let's not mention this matter for the time being. I've been away from the Pure Land for a while, and I'm not as familiar with the situation here as my senior brother. I don't know if according to Senior Brother's estimate, when will the war on the Pure Land be ignited again?"
Xu Chenglin waved his hand and did not accept the other party's praise, but asked again about the war that was about to ignite in the Pure Land.
After a little hesitation, Cheng Hongming hesitated slightly. He organized what he wanted to say, and then spoke very seriously.
"It's hard to estimate the exact time, but I once heard the elders of the sect say that things here will not be delayed indefinitely. It can be as short as a year, or as long as three years, and there will definitely be a result. Of course, this statement was made two years ago. As for what's going on, I just don't know. ”
"I see! Thank you for telling me!"
Getting the exact answer, Xu Chenglin nodded slowly. While speaking, he didn't forget to arch his hand at Cheng Hongming.
"Senior brother doesn't have to be like this, but please keep this matter secret on your behalf, if it's not someone close to you, please don't spread it. After all, the fewer people who know about this, the better, and the more people who know, will inevitably cause panic. ”
Cheng Hongming's face was solemn, and he also issued a warning to Xu Chenglin.
The god was slightly stunned, and then Xu Chenglin reflected. He nodded heavily and complied with the other party's request.
"Senior brother's pranayama has just ended, and I think I still need to rest for a while. I already know what the junior brother wants to know, so I won't bother the senior brother too much. ”
Standing up, Xu Chenglin said goodbye to Cheng Hongming.
Nodding slightly, Cheng Hongming also sent him off.
The reason why Xu Chenglin went to Cheng Hongming to inquire about the news, not Gongsun Jing, is actually for a reason. The first is that Gongsun Jing came to the Pure Land relatively late, and the second is that Cheng Hongming is more familiar with the Yuefan monk in the Blue Mountain station. If there is any internal news, Cheng Hongming must know it before Gongsun Jing.
Leaving Cheng Hongming's residence, Xu Chenglin did not delay at all, and directly sent a message to his six companions. He felt that the information he had heard was extremely important and that he needed to share it with everyone. As for Cheng Hongming's warning, of course Xu Chenglin still remembers it. But the other party bluntly said that people who are not close to him can't tell each other, and the implication is to tell him that people close to him can tell as long as they don't talk nonsense. As for his other acquaintances, after thinking about it for a while, Xu Chenglin also sent them a summoning spirit talisman to inform them of this matter, and warned Cheng Hongming
Told a few people.
Back at his residence, Xu Chenglin didn't look at it. He closed his eyes slightly, and rested a little as if he were sleeping. After a while, Wang Xiaoan was the first to feel Xu Chenglin's residence. He saw that Xu Chenglin was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, so he nodded at him and found a place to sit down. In less than half a cup of tea, Chen Luoxue and the other five people also arrived one after another.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Xu Chenglin raised his hand and waved a spiritual power to cover the door. After clearing his throat, Xu Chenglin spoke.
"When I visited the market today, I happened to hear a news. I think this news is important, so I would like to invite you to come and hear about it. ”
"Xiao Linzi, I didn't make any opening remarks, so let's just say it. ”
Tang Xiaotian smiled and spoke without any scruples.
"Don't interrupt, you let him continue. ”
Seeing Xu Chenglin's solemn expression, he didn't mean to joke at all. Ximen Feng waved his hand at Tang Xiaotian and motioned for Xu Chenglin to continue.
He nodded slightly. Xu Chenglin told the rumors he had heard in Fang City, and then followed the six people about the news he had inquired about from Cheng Hongming.
"It's really important, and you need to do something about it. ”
After listening to Xu Chenglin's story, Ximen Feng made a summary.
"That's right, we don't know, since we know that there will be another war in the near future, we need to be prepared. One year to three years is a long time, but it is also a short time. But this time is enough for us to prepare. Let's not talk about anything else, at least the defensive magic weapon you promised to refine for us is not going to be brought up. ”
Chen Moheng was talking about preparations at first, but when the conversation changed, he pointed directly at Xu Chenglin.
"That's right, that's right!"
"That's it, I almost forgot about it!"
After Chen Moheng mentioned it, the rest of the people also followed suit.
Xu Chenglin was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he was just talking about the rekindling of the war, but the other party used this to lead the matter to himself.
