20: Darkness Chencang
Zhan Feng has lived in the environment of the Kaiyang Sect for seven years, and he has long developed the habit of planning before acting.
Since he knew that Yang Hua was going to attack him, Zhan Feng naturally would not be stupid enough to sit idly by.
In fact, when Li Longji appeared, Zhan Feng and Yang Hua had already torn their faces, at least Zhan Feng thought so.
Since he tore his face, Zhan Feng naturally didn't need to worry about Yang Hua's face, so he planned to do the entry registration before going down the mountain, although the strange scene outside the Fire Deacon Hall before still made him feel uneasy, but in order to increase the protection of his life, Zhan Feng could only go to the Fire Deacon Hall to do the entry registration.
In his opinion, if he became an introductory disciple, even if he was not capable of defeating Yang Hua, as a disciple of Kaiyang Sect, he would have some scruples about coming to Yang Hua.
Half an hour later, Zhan Feng came to the fire deacon's hall again, just like when he came before, it was the time when the morning sun was rising, but Zhan Feng's state of mind was much calmer than when he first came.
Looking at the magnificent plaque at the entrance of the Fire Deacon Palace, Zhan Feng took a deep breath, his expression was unusually firm, and although he was afraid in his heart, he did not hesitate in his steps.
With nervousness and fear, Zhan Feng once again stepped into the door of the Fire Deacon's Hall, perhaps it was his courage that moved the heavens, this time, that strange scene did not appear, which made the nervous Zhan Feng secretly relieved.
Without hesitation, Zhan Feng immediately walked towards the main hall where the introductory disciples had registered, and a quarter of an hour later, Zhan Feng came to the front of a three-story attic.
Like other attics, although this attic has only three floors, it is luxuriously decorated, and the carved dragons and phoenixes on the eaves are lifelike and magnificent.
Perhaps in order to facilitate the registration of the introductory disciples, the hall of the attic was specially designed to look like a merchant shop, and at the entrance of the hall, there was a nine-foot-long table, and a Taishi chair was placed next to the table, and on the chair sat an old man who looked to be nearly seventy years old with silver braids.
At this time, the old man was squinting his eyes and taking a nap, and he didn't notice that he was looking at his Zhanfeng.
Zhan Feng hesitated slightly, walked in front of the old man lightly, bowed and said, "Son, Xiao Si Zhanfeng, the fire deacon hall, came to do the entry registration today, and disturbed the immortal elder." β
"Ohβare you here to do the registration of the entry? Go over there and fill in your identity firstβ" The old man raised his head in a daze, glanced at Zhan Feng casually, pointed to the notebook placed on the right side of the table, and said habitually.
"Thank you, Immortal Chief. Zhan Feng bowed again, and after respectfully thanking him, he moved a few steps to the right side of the table, picked up the table's notebook, found a blank space, and wrote down some information such as his birth, age, family background, place of origin, and time of entering the Kaiyang Sect in detail on the notebook.
When he turned to look at the old man again, he found that the old man looked stunned and stared at him blankly.
Zhan Feng was a little puzzled, hesitated slightly, and then respectfully handed the record book in his hand to the old man who was still stunned, and said respectfully, "Immortal Master, the disciple has completed the filling." β
"Oh-hehe, junior brother don't have to be restrained, you are a third-grade Qi cultivator, the old man's surname is Wang, you can call me Senior Brother. The old man suddenly came back to his senses, a smile squeezed out of his dry face, and a little flattery in his soft tone.
The old man's sudden change of attitude was not without reason, although he was a sixth-grade Qi cultivator, and he was also in an important position in the Fire Deacon Palace, but after all, he was already over the age of old, and it was probably impossible to make any breakthroughs in cultivation.
And Zhan Feng looks like he is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, although his cultivation is only a mere three grades of Qi cultivation, but he has immeasurable potential, maybe it won't take long to enter the inner door, and the old man naturally doesn't dare to slack off.
"Tsk, the junior brother is really young and promising, at the age of sixteen, he reached the realm of the three grades of qi training, and it must not be long before the junior disciple can be promoted to the inner disciple. β
After the old man took the notebook, he was even more shocked when he saw Zhanfeng's identity information, his face was envious, he smacked his lips, and the compliment in his gentle tone was even more obvious, which made Zhanfeng a little frightened.
"Senior brother praised falsely, the disciple just took some more time than others. β
Zhan Feng smiled slightly, he didn't dare to hold it up, he still looked respectful, and his cultivation path was not smooth sailing, and he also fell into despair for a long time, recalling the past scenes, Zhan Feng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
Everyone has a different experience from others, the joys and sorrows can only be experienced by themselves, in the eyes of outsiders, they will always only look at your radiant side, and the rest of the bitterness and pain can only be felt by themselves.
"Haha, junior brother is too humble, this is the storage bag of the beginner disciple, which contains the certificate waist card of the outer disciple, a set of lower-grade magic weapons, and a bottle of ten herbs, the six-layer Dao technique during the Qi refining period, and the junior brother will put it away. β
The old man smiled cheerfully, turned around and took out a small gray cloth bag the size of a palm from the cabinet behind him, put it in front of Zhanfeng, and slowly introduced.
"There's Senior Brother Lao. Zhan Feng happily took the storage bag, immediately scanned it with his divine sense, and after making sure that there was no omission, he hugged his hand and thanked him.
"Haha, junior brother doesn't have to be polite, I am also responsible, by the way, junior brother can choose a place to practice in the empty cuiting with the waist card, as long as it is a place where no one lives, junior brother can choose. β
The old man waved his hand, he was very happy with Zhanfeng's respect, and then took out a piece of jade brocade and put it in front of Zhanfeng, and introduced it with a smile.
The Empty Cuiting is the best cultivation place for His Royal Highness the Fire Deacon of the Outer Gate, located in a valley to the east of the Deacon Palace, and it is one of the few places with sufficient spiritual power in the Outer Gate, it stands to reason that a new disciple of Zhanfeng is not qualified to live in such a place at all, even if a four-grade monk like Yang Hua only lives in the Fire Spirit Valley of the popular language, and Zhan Feng has obtained the qualification to live in the Empty Cuiting because of the relationship between cultivation and age.
"Thank you Senior Brother for telling me, it's just that I'm going down the mountain recently, and I'm afraid that the accommodation can only be arranged by Senior Brother Lao when I return to the mountain. β
Zhan Feng was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and sincerely thanked the old man with an apologetic face.
"That's it, it's okay, it's not too late for the junior brother to come and confirm it then. The old man waved his hand and touched his silver-white beard, a trace of strangeness flashed on his face, and he still looked kind.
"Then there is Senior Brother Lao, and there are important things to deal with next, so I won't bother Senior Brother. Zhan Feng nodded gratefully and said goodbye again.
"Junior brother walks slowly. The old man nodded, and said goodbye with a warm fist.
Walking out of the deacon's hall, Zhan Feng exhaled lightly, took out his waist card from the storage bag, hung it on his waist, and walked towards the mountain gate with a calm expression.
After Zhan Feng left, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the old man in the deacon's hall, and he said to himself, "Victory is not arrogant, and the spirit is not held, this son will become a great weapon in the future." β
After finishing speaking, he sat back on the Taishi chair again, squinted his eyes, and shook the Taishi chair leisurely, with a faint smile hanging between the corners of his mouth.
Although Zhan Feng already had a magic weapon at this time, he ignored one point, the flying weapon first needs to practice the magic weapon, if there is no magic weapon, even if there is a flying magic weapon, it is in vain, Zhan Feng obviously ignored this, so he could only walk to the mountain gate.
Almost an hour later, Zhan Feng finally came to the mountain gate, the outer gate of the Kaiyang Sect is also guarded by an enchantment, and the mountain gate is naturally guarded by the outer disciples, and today on duty are two monks who practice qi and a product, after seeing Zhan Feng's figure, the two immediately got up, bowed to Zhan Feng and said, "The disciple has seen the senior brother." β
"I'm going down the mountain, and I've got two juniors and disciples to open a voucher. Zhan Feng smiled slightly, but he did not have the arrogance of a high-level disciple, but his face was gentle, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling, but he was still young, otherwise he would definitely be a graceful and extraordinary son.
"Senior brother is polite, disciple will open it for you. In the face of Zhanfeng's politeness, the two were obviously stunned, of course, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately turned around and gave Zhanfeng a certificate to go down the mountain.
"Thank you, two juniors. Putting away the voucher, Zhan Feng hugged his fists and thanked him, then took a step forward and left the Kaiyang Sect under the surprised eyes of the two.
The two disciples on duty watched Zhan Feng walk down the mountain, their faces were shocked, they had been in Kaiyang Sect for more than 20 years, and it was the first time they had seen someone walking down the mountain.
Zhan Feng's behavior not only made the disciples on duty strange, but also made Yang Hua, who had been waiting in secret, secretly anxious, until the afternoon, Zhan Feng walked less than ten miles, along the way he was also secretly vigilant Yang Hua secretly attacked, but Yang Hua was never seen, which made Zhan Feng also very nervous.
He wanted to cut through the mess quickly, but he didn't expect Yang Hua to be so calm.
Seeing that the sun was waning, Zhan Feng also quickened his pace, and the thin figure hesitated to run a leopard, shuttling through the mountains and forests.
Yang Hua got the news from Li Longji that Zhan Feng had broken through the second grade of Qi training, thinking that Zhan Feng already had the ability to fly with imperial weapons, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he chose to ambush in Bainiu Valley, the road that Zhan Feng had to pass for hundreds of miles away from Yangzong, but he never expected that Zhan Feng would go home on foot.
If there was no Li Longji's transmission note, he really thought that Zhan Feng had not come down the mountain, but Zhan Feng did not appear for a long time, which also made him have a trace of doubt when he was anxious.
Zhan Feng had originally planned to arrive at the nearest market of the Yang Sect before dark, but by nightfall, he was still more than ten miles away from the nearest market of the Yang Sect.
It is always unsafe to travel in the dark, in addition to the beasts and demons in the mountains, there are also some loose robbers who specialize in robbing monks, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, Zhan Feng immediately stopped, found a relatively hidden valley, and after the divine consciousness did not find any danger, his mind moved into the white jade mirage.
Walking was too tiring, and after Zhan Feng entered the White Jade Mirage, he immediately took out the jade brocade distributed by the sect, quickly searched for the magic of the Imperial Weapon, and then entered the intense and busy practice.
And Yang Hua, who was ambushed in the White Cow Valley, saw that the night was falling, his heart was even more anxious, he knew the rules of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, of course, he didn't want Zhan Feng to be killed by others first, he was so anxious that he gave up his original plan, rose up, and returned the same way to find Zhan Feng's figure.
But Zhan Feng was in the white jade mirage at this time, even if he wanted to find it, he didn't have the ability to see it, until midnight, Yang Hua shuttled on the road dozens of times, and never saw Zhan Feng's figure, and finally had to come to Chaoyang Town to rest, and at the same time secretly looked for Zhan Feng's whereabouts.
