Chapter 136: Master and Apprentice
Linghe Mountains.
Liu Zifeng was not in a high mood, he walked silently first, and Song Xitong followed him without saying a word. The two of them, Fortune Fortune and Absolute Shadow, were behind Liu Zifeng, and the four of them walked forward along the narrow mountain road. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, he asked after divining the destiny of heaven: "Zifeng, Senior Sister Song, it's getting late, where are we going tonight?"
Liu Zifeng paused, looked up at Song Xitong beside him, and only heard the latter's ethereal voice sound: "Linghe Mountain is located in the northwest of Kyushu, we are going to the northeast now, we will be able to go out in about half an hour, and then we will be able to rush to a place called Wuguang City in another hour, and we will live there tonight." ”
Hearing this, the fortune divination Heavenly Destiny's eyes turned, and he thought for a while: "Five Light City? It seems that I have heard of it before, is it the Five Light City on the border between the Luoxia Sect and the Northern Desert?"
Song Xitong nodded lightly and affirmed: "Yes, this big city was also built by the Luoxia Sect at the beginning, and it was a place where the six tribes of the Northern Desert communicated with each other. ”
At this time, he raised his head without a shadow and said quietly: "That was before, and now Wuguang City is a lot more desolate. More than ten years ago, the six tribes of the Northern Desert suddenly changed, and the remaining five tribes broke with the Hantian clan for some reason, and they all set up their own doors and became independent. Nowadays, although the Hantian clan no longer has the right to lead the five clans, but as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Hantian clan has a deep heritage, and the masters are gathered, and the strength still suppresses the five clans. ”
The fortune teller was amazed, and praised: "Wuying, how do you know so much, could it be that you have been to the Northern Desert Land before?"
Absolutely Wuying nodded, and said with a straight face: "My master and the high priest of the Mu clan in the five clans are old acquaintances, and I have been to this place a few years ago, and I have also learned some secrets. The reason why the current five clans can maintain their independence is because they all have clan weapons, and they are quite powerful, and they can compete with the Hantian clan together. If it weren't for this, with the domineering of the Cold Heaven Clan, these five clans would have been taken under his command again. ”
Liu Zifeng and Fortune Fortune listened carefully, obviously it was the first time they heard such a secret news, and their faces were wonderful for a while. For a long time, I only heard Liu Zifeng ask: "The five clans you said can unite with clan weapons, isn't that now the alliance of the five clans? That Hantian clan is really so powerful, can it even compete with the alliance of the five clans?"
Absolute Shadow nodded affirmatively, and replied: "Yes, the Cold Heaven Clan has a long heritage, and it is a big clan among the demon clans, even compared to the several major demon clans in the land of Nanze. Inherited so far, the Hantian clan has been regarded as half a human race, breaking away from the demon clan's ancient method of spitting, and turning to practice witchcraft such as sacrificial divination, and it seems that it has made a lot of achievements. ”
The three of them walked while talking, but Song Xitong led the way without saying a word, and seemed to be very familiar with this place. It wasn't long before a few people passed through another bamboo forest area, and as far as the eye could see, it had turned into an open plain, in which there were tall and low shrubs, and there was no end in sight.
Song Xitong turned his head and pursed his lips and said: "We have already left Linghe Mountain, there is no danger in this wilderness, if we fly in the sky, we will be able to reach Wuguang City in about two hours, do you have anything else?"
The three of them looked behind them together, only to see that Linghe Mountain was still alone and towering among the mountains, and for some reason they felt a little emotional. Glancing at each other, they all sighed in unison, only to listen to the fortune of heaven: "Master Linghe is really a peerless master with great courage and perseverance, even if he is not the ancestor of our human race, he is worthy of respect. ”
Listening to the fortune telling, Liu Zifeng suddenly remembered those secret maps in the cave, those depictions about heaven, earth and man and the six realms of reincarnation, and his heart was confused for a while.
......
Luoxia Sect, Shenyang Peak Shenyang Temple.
Luochen Zhenren sat cross-legged on the futon, with his back to the sunset, calming his mind, holding a big circle in front of him with his arms, and then pressing it gently, he spit out a mouthful of turbid air with a "whew", and it seemed that it was time to finish the work. After another four or five minutes, I saw his closed eyes slowly open, and there was calm in his eyes.
At this time, there were a few soft noises outside the door, and then a voice came: "Disciple Fang Yanqi came to meet the master!"
"Come in!"
The real person stood up and turned to look out the window. I only heard a "squeak" behind him, and the heavy wooden door was gently pushed open, revealing a tall and thin young figure, who was Fang Yanqi, a disciple of Shenyang Peak who worshiped the sect at the same time as Liu Zifeng. Walking a few steps in front of the real person who fell into the dust, Fang Yanqi saluted respectfully, and then bowed: "Master is above, call Yanqi to come today, I don't know what to order?"
The back of the real person looked a little lonely, reflecting the golden afterglow, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Fang Yanqi quietly bowed and stood behind Luochen Zhenren, occasionally squinting and peeking, with a hint of doubt in his expression, obviously not knowing why the master called him here at this time.
Until the last trace of the sunset disappeared, there were still a few pieces of burning golden clouds in the sky, and the real person turned around, looked at this proud disciple who had just started for a few years, his expression softened, and he said: "Yan Qi, can you make progress in Taoism these days?"
Hearing this, Fang Yanqi's expression was a little weird, but there was a hint of flattery in his heart. Since the beginning, the usual Taoist learning, including the "Nine Xia Xuanjing", was taught by the senior brother Chen Yucai. Although Luochen Zhenren is the lord of Shenyang Peak, he doesn't have much leisure as the head of the house. What's more, there are many disciples of Shenyang Peak, and although Fang Yanqi is extraordinary, he can only be counted as superior.
Therefore, after hearing Master's question, Fang Yanqi was obviously stunned, and when he came back to his senses, his expression became more and more respectful, and he saluted: "I am tired of my master's concern, and my disciple does not dare to slack off, I just entered the second layer realm of Yuxia Realm a few days ago. ”
Luochen Zhenren smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into this time." Cultivators, diligence and studious are indispensable qualities, and at your current speed, it is not much worse than the speed of Yucai at the beginning, but you must not be complacent and complacent, understand?"
Fang Yanqi hurriedly responded: "The disciple doesn't dare, the senior brother is young and promising, the Tao is solid, and the knowledge is extensive, and the disciple is far from being able to compare." ”
Although he said this, Fang Yanqi couldn't help but have a hint of pride in his heart. Chen Yucai currently seems to only be at the fourth or fifth level of the Yuxia Realm, and although he can't be as prominent as the senior brother, he does have a lot of confidence in the realm. Born with a physique with fire attributes, practicing the Shenyang chapter in the "Nine Xia Xuanjing" is simply smooth sailing for Fang Yanqi, and there is no difficulty.
Luo Xia Zhenren saw that his expression was the same, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Last time, you competed with the disciple named Liu Zifeng under Elder Ji, do you have any questions after you go back?"
As soon as he heard the words "Liu Zifeng", Fang Yanqi's expression suddenly changed, and there was obviously a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, and he immediately recovered, and replied: "Master Mingcha, after the battle with Senior Brother Liu, the disciple realized that he looked down on many people on weekdays, and he worked hard these days, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and only hoped that one day he could defeat him openly and not embarrass the master." ”
Luochen Zhenren laughed when he heard this, then shook his head slightly, and said: "These are all trivial matters, no matter who wins among you, you are the elite of Luoxia Sect, and I am also very happy." You should understand, what I asked you was what you thought about when you went back after the battle with Zifeng?"
Fang Yanqi's expression froze, but he didn't answer immediately. By the end of the day, he was unconscious, and he didn't wake up until the next day. Recalling yesterday's competition, the huge blue-black demon flower, the cold and piercing weird true qi, Fang Yanqi was afraid for a while. With his knowledge, he naturally wouldn't have thought that Liu Zifeng was a member of the ghost clan, but he had doubts about his practice.
The ghost aura is full of energy, and it clashes with the power of the hot sun, which is obviously a ghost path method. In particular, Liu Zifeng had been showing his blue true qi before, and he didn't use yin qi until the end, which was really suspicious. Thinking of this, Fang Yanqi couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, with the eyes of the real person in charge and the elders of the sect, he naturally couldn't be mistaken, he couldn't say that this Liu Zifeng was about to come into disaster. It's just that in the next competition, no one seems to care about this matter, Liu Zifeng not only entered the top six, but also gave him the opportunity to go to Linghe Mountain for trial, which made Fang Yanqi inexplicable and secretly hated in his heart.
At this moment, Fang Yanqi looked up, and Luochen Zhenren's eyes were deep, as if he could see through all the thoughts in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yanqi spoke: "Senior Brother Liu has a solid foundation, and the mental method he cultivates is different from ordinary people. ”
When these words came out, Fang Yanqi couldn't help but sweat in his palms. Liu Zifeng, who lost to Qingxia Realm, lost the bet and lost Yue Zixuan's favor, no matter what point he couldn't make him reconcile. When I remembered that I was full of confidence to ask Liu Zifeng to fight, although I took advantage of the Tao, I was a little disdainful after all. I wanted to communicate with Liu Zifeng after winning and resolve the gap, but I didn't have a chance.
After losing the competition, Fang Yanqi also found an excuse to find Yue Zixuan in the past few days, but he was greeted with cold eyes every time, except for being able to say hello, it seemed that there was no possibility of further emotion.
Luochen Zhenren quietly watched the change in the expression on this disciple's face, but he turned around again and said leisurely: "Yan Qi, you have been under my sect for more than three years, and you can see at a glance that you are a careful teacher. The melon that the vulgar family has a saying is not sweet, not to mention, you are unstable now, although you have talent, but the later stage of the Yuxia Realm is not as easy as you think, can you be prepared?"
Fang Yanqi's face was embarrassed, so he simply stopped hiding it and asked: "Master, the mental method cultivated by Liu Zifeng is obviously a ghost path, such a disciple is in Luoxia Sect, won't Master be worried?"
Luochen Zhenren frowned, and said softly: "You don't need to think about this matter, Luoxia Sect is not as simple as you think." Besides, Liu Zifeng has been expelled from the sect now, where can there be any worries?"
