The two quickly crossed through the mountains and forests, and Zhong Zhen's familiarity with this area made the two's trip achieve twice the result with half the effort. When I came to the outside of Luocheng City, it was already unitary time.

"Brother Yue, with your deeds, you are enough to be the king and hegemon in this city. So, we don't have to be too nervous, just be careful. Zhong Zhen said, "We don't enter the city from the avenue, we take the road into the city, and go to the haunted house first." What do you think?"

Yue Chen replied: "Very well! However, I don't want to stay in the city, so it's best to leave here before the time and go to Xiangsha City." ”

"Don't worry! Zhong Zhen said confidently, "Brother Yue, guess what the situation of that inn and haunted house will be now?"

"Surely someone will burn it down!"

"Hey, hey, the hero sees the same thing!"

Zhong Zhen took Yue Chen on a detour, and after walking for thirty miles, he turned into a small hill. said: "This hill is the largest mass grave hill in Luocheng in the past. According to my father, for thousands of years, there have never been monsters or beasts on this hill. About 800 years ago, a fire broke out on this hill, and since then, no one has come here to bury the dead.

According to local legends, the fire was caused by the Sacred Fire Dragon in Fenglin Continent. But whenever I asked, no one ever said why, and over and over again, all I could say was a holy fire dragon, and nothing else. The only difference is that some say there are many, some say only one.

Brother Yue, this kind of rumor chasing after the wind and shadows, you should just listen to it as a story!"

Yue Chen said, "The Holy Fire Dragon is one of the remnants of the most powerful Flood Desolate Divine Beast in heaven and earth. Everything on his body was a priceless treasure to the monk, and it was incomparably rare. In particular, the dragon yuan condensed by the 10,000-year-old dragon, even if it caused a competition between the strongest sects today, it was a common thing. However, this desolate beast was already extinct in the realm of Jiuzhou 20,000 years ago.

If it is really like what you said, this is a flood dragon fire that was caused by the appearance of the Holy Fire Dragon eight hundred years ago, then it will at least burn the entire Luocheng. I'm afraid most of the surrounding towns will have to be destroyed. ”

"You know more than I do! Do you believe these things?" Zhong Zhen looked a little surprised, glanced back at Yue Chen, and continued: "Actually, the story just now is not finished. The remaining half is that a moment after the fire on this hill, an immortal riding a crane descended from the sky, subdued the dragon, and cast a spell to extinguish the fire. So that Luocheng avoided a catastrophe.

Do you believe this half?"

Yue Chen laughed out loud and said, "It's a bit mysterious! The Holy Fire Dragon that really appeared was one of the most powerful war dragons that the human race could see. Even if the current good and evil factions join forces, on the wilderness, they may not be able to kill a living holy fire dragon. ”

Zhong Zhen suddenly let out a "shhhh I saw that the weeds behind the three huts were burned clean. Dotted with Mars, still visible everywhere. In the place where the hut was built, more than a dozen torches lit it, and judging by the number of people, there were probably as many as a hundred. Zhong Zhen said in a low voice: "Brother Yue, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look." Yue Chen nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, I want to see what is going on with your weird secret method." ”

But seeing Zhong Zhen swaggering over, there was no sign of hiding his appearance. A gust of mountain wind blew, the torches swayed, and in the blink of an eye, Zhong Zhen disappeared in front of him, and he could no longer be found. Yue Chen wondered: "What kind of secret method is the Spirit Snake Escape Light Technique? Could it be like the Phantom Shadow Technique of the Great Sun Immortal Sect, which comes and goes without a trace." ”

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, Yue Chen's heart sank, and when he turned his head to look, Zhong Zhen was looking at himself with a smile and said, "What? ”

Yue Chen looked embarrassed, he didn't steal chickens and rice, and said: "Thank you Brother Zhong for your kindness, without the permission of the sect, I don't dare to learn his sect's magical powers." After a moment's notice, he asked, "How is it, do you hear something?"

"Brother Yue, let's talk as we go!" Zhong Zhen first took Yue Chen into the mountain forest again before saying, "Unexpectedly, seven days have passed. ”

Yue Chen was secretly startled, contemplated for a moment, and asked, "Brother Zhong, how long will it take for us to go to Xiangsha City?"

Zhong Zhen raised his head and replied: "If you don't encounter trouble, you will be able to go outside Xiangsha City at noon the day after tomorrow." ”

"It seems that although Brother Zhong is young, he seems to have a lot of experience, far better than me. ”

"Yes! Since I was eight years old, I have been licking blood with my father, and I often go in and out of Lizhou and Tuozhou, selling some spiritual materials from a small business to provide for the family. When Zhong Zhen said this, he seemed to be extremely sad, shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't have a sister, but I have a very beautiful mother." ”

Yue Chen said: "In other words, your family is not a family that has been refining medicine for generations, and besides, your family's disaster was caused by your mother?"

"Hmm!"

"That means that you are deliberately leading me and my senior brother to the Ai family in Xiangsha City to achieve your revenge?"

"Of course not!" Zhong Zhen chuckled a few times and said, "I'm not telling you about this, but about which senior brother you're going to hear." Besides, the two of them are not enemies, but they are powerful with great backgrounds. Brother Yue, although I don't know which sect or faction you are, if it weren't for the eight forces that everyone in Jiuzhou knows, you wouldn't be enough for others to look at. ”

"I heard that in the past year, two families and two factions have risen in Fenglinzhou, and the two families and two factions in Ganzhou are collectively known as the four families and four factions that have risen. Could it be that your opponent is one of these eight forces?"

Zhong Zhen said "hmm", and said with a little surprise: "Brother Yue, which faction are you?"

"Cheng Mingzong!"

Zhong Zhen stopped suddenly, opened his toad mouth, and couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he exclaimed, "I see! No wonder you are particularly familiar with the details of the Holy Fire Dragon. The little Taoist priest of the Chengming Sect and the little bald man of the Maha Hall have all appeared, dare to love, can this rumor come true?"

"What rumors?"

"Hmm, Brother Yue, why don't I look like you are a person who pretends to be stupid!"

"Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes, which senior brother I am with is an outcast in the same family. The other fellow disciples quietly left while the two of us were resting. To this day, I don't know what I came to Fenglinzhou for. It wasn't until seven days ago that I started to have a bit of an eyebrow, someone should have designed it to get rid of me and get rid of me quickly. You've seen it with your own eyes. ”

Zhong Zhen nodded and said, "We have been on the road for nearly ten hours in a row, find a place to rest for a while." Then, I'll give you an overview of the rumor. Yue Chen agreed with Zhong Zhen's approach, and the two of them chose a woodland surrounded by three big trees and sat on the ground.

Zhong Zhen said: "Actually, this rumor is similar to the rumor of the hill I mentioned earlier, it is all related to the Holy Fire Dragon. Regarding this dragon, the extra part, you also added, is the dragon yuan. The most critical issue in the rumors is the location, but the locations in these rumors are all places that became forbidden places for the human race tens of thousands of years ago. Now, it's also well known, and it's no secret at all.

Along with the Holy Fire Dragon, it is the Golden Phoenix, and the opposite of the Dragon Yuan is the Phoenix Egg. As he spoke, Zhong Zhen laughed loudly, shook his head, and said, "Brother Yue, how is it?

Yue Chen asked rhetorically, "When did you meet the Maha Hall disciple?"

Zhong Zhen replied: "Actually, half a month before you came to my compound, there were more than ten great monks. One of the monks is just like you, preparing to bury the corpses. However, he was stopped by a fat man. Which little fat man, don't underestimate it, he can see the catty at a glance, and conclude that those corpses are not my family's. As they were leaving, I heard a great monk call him 'Finish his junior brother'. ”

"Brother Zhong, how do you conclude that they are disciples of the Maha Temple? As far as I know, there are many monasteries in Tanzhou, and not only the Maha Temple. ”

"Actually, I didn't know they were monks from there. However, when the 'Seventh Master' once told me a story, he told me the story of the Maha Palace, Taiyi Mansion, Dragon Phoenix City, the Ten Peerless Villas, and your Chengming Sect. Among them, the most easily recognizable is naturally the monk, and the monk of the Maha Hall is the monk among the monks, as long as the person with a little knowledge, only by the Buddha robe and Buddha beads can also recognize. Zhong Zhen smiled and said, "You Chengmingzong, it doesn't seem to be easy to identify. Some people say that the bald man of the Maha Palace, the gentleman of the Taiyi Mansion, and the of the Chengming Sect, but I think you and your senior brother are not like little Taoist priests. What's going on. ”

"If it is really a disciple of the Maha Temple, then among the major sects, we are considered to be the same generation. Yue Chen said as if talking to himself, and said: "Brother Zhong, this kind of philistine statement, it's best not to talk about it." If others don't say it, it's just that if one of my senior brothers hears it, he will make you look good. ”

Yue Chen was silent for a moment, then asked solemnly, "Brother Zhong, who are you?"

Zhong Zhen asked rhetorically, "Brother Yue, why do you ask that? Could it be that you don't believe what I say?"

"I have a few doubts, but I can't get them right. Yue Chen said: "Let's not talk about the lies of the shopkeeper. Let's just say that in the courtyard of your Zhong family, at the beginning, I remember clearly, my senior brother said that you stayed in that corner house for seven days. With his insight and ability, it is impossible to make a mistake. Later, you said that you hadn't closed your eyes for a month, and that you could see the disciples of the Mahayana so clearly. How do I feel that you can move around in that compound? Listen to your tone and words just now, or rather, this Zhong Zhen in front of me now is not Zhong Zhen in the first place?"

Zhong Zhen suddenly burst out laughing, and his voice changed greatly, only to see him slowly tear off the wig on his head, tear off the mask on his face, and his body bones made a loud noise, and he suddenly became a fat monk, and his age seemed to be two or three years older than Yue Chen.

Yue Chen said very calmly: "It turns out that it is the senior brother of the Maha Temple. ”

"Yes, he is worthy of being a disciple of Haojing Zhenren, but the experience of the world brother walking the rivers and lakes is very lacking. The monk said, "With your way, how could the little skill of carving insects disappear from your sight?"

"Master, which friend of mine, don't worry about your life?"

As soon as the words fell, two figures walked out from behind the tree, one in front was Zhong Zhen, and another fat monk followed. The two fat monks stood together, and the other looked sturdy and fat, and the other was fat.

A monk who came from behind gave a Buddha name and said, "Xiao Qu has a fate, I have seen Brother Yue Chen of Chengming Sect!"

Zhong Zhen couldn't help laughing, and explained seriously: "My master, they call themselves Lao Qu, and whoever I am a disciple can only be Xiao Qu." The name of the poor monk is too unlucky, I don't like it. ”

Yue Chen bowed slightly and said, "It turned out to be the senior disciple of the first Jueyue Divine Monk in the Maha Hall Zen Temple, and the junior brother is polite. ”

He concluded and said, "Brother Yue, why do you look like a person from Taiyi Mansion. I only got goosebumps all over my body when I said it. ”

Yue Chen bowed his head slightly and said, "Looking at the whereabouts of the two senior brothers, our every move should be under the control of the two. I don't know what the two senior brothers mean?"

"I just want to walk with the two of you all the way. He clasped his hands together, recited a few words silently, made a gesture of please, and when the four of them walked side by side, he continued: "According to the little monk's opinion, after my senior brother and I appeared, there are many things, and I think Brother Yue has already understood the joints. And the real problem lies with this Zhong benefactor. On the same day, the two of us entered the courtyard with all the senior brothers to check, and when we saw the senior brothers, we found the prohibition. However, for the sake of prudence, and at the same time, for the sake of seeing the people from all walks of life, it was decided to leave the two of us behind.

It wasn't until Brother Ouyang and Brother Yue appeared that the two of us believed in Senior Brother's judgment. It also allows us to see that Brother Yue is a chivalrous man who is benevolent and benevolent. Later, I saw Brother Yue Shi perform the third-order spell Drifting Snow and Thunder Technique, easily breaking the prohibition, which was really admirable. ”

Inadvertently, Yue Chen's actions and family background were told lightly, this courage and insight, Yue Chen was ashamed, and said in his heart: "If I saw something, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help but show up a long time ago." After thinking about it, he asked, "I don't know what the two masters are looking for the 'Seventh Master'?"

He made a Buddha name and said, "According to rumors, this mysterious person has a key on his body that can open the demon world. When we went down the mountain this time, the presiding master and the master specially explained that we must not let this person fall into the hands of the Demon Sect. Right now, both good and evil are looking for him. ”

When Yue Chen and Zhong Zhen heard this, they glanced at each other, and Zhong Zhen said: "It turns out that the special things that the 'Seventh Master' said have long been taken away. Because of this, he almost killed Brother Yue. ”

Yue Chen also said: "The statement of the Demon Realm seems to only exist in various classics of the Buddhist family, and no one has ever confirmed its existence. Why did Senior Brother say that?"

He concluded and said: "All kinds of powerful relationships in this, the poor monk can't understand it for a while. If Brother Ouyang hadn't found any traces of the two of us, there would have been no poisoning of Brother Yue that night. If there is no fourth force of people, there should be no big surprise. Now, the two of us are also bypassed, and we can't figure out the forces of the parties. Therefore, he took a risk and decided to go with Brother Yue. After Xiangsha City and Ouyang Shiren meet, there may be some eyebrows.

As for this mysterious 'Seventh Master', I think all factions have the same understanding of him. According to Uncle Jueben's speculation, the key may not be in Tuozhou, let alone the 'Seventh Master'.

The main thing that this Zhong Shi is looking for should be the jade Ruyi found by the people of Taiyi Mansion.

Regarding the matter of the demon world, I forgive the little monk for not being able to talk about it!"

Zhong Zhen let out a low roar and said to Yue Chen: "That's it!"

Yue Chen didn't know what to say, so he asked towards the end: "Senior Brother Duan, do you know the cultivation realm of this 'Seventh Master'?" Yue Chen had too many questions in his heart, and when he asked, there was always a sentence without a word.

Yuan replied: "Now, no one should know! However, three hundred years ago, he used the talisman technique to easily defeat the Tianlong predecessors of Taiyi Mansion. Since then, no one has been able to find him. It wasn't until recently that the rumors of the Holy Fire Dragon and the Golden Rin Phoenix were scattered again, and they were tracked down by the people of Taiyi Mansion. ”

"The elder of the 'Tian' generation of Taiyi Mansion?" Yue Chen was shocked, and almost roared, and said: "If I remember correctly, the typesetting generation should be the ancestor generation. Moreover, there are still four relics alive in the 'Tian' generation of Taiyi Mansion, and this Tianlong Zhenren is one of them. ”

Therefore, the disciples of Taiyi Mansion who came this time are not only elite, but also a posture of vowing not to give up until the goal is achieved. Now it seems that they have been a little unscrupulous. The end said meaningfully: "Master Zhong, Brother Yue, we have to be careful with everything. ”

Yue Chen let out a sigh, a mystery in his heart was still solved, he looked up at the sky, and said softly: "The sky is already bright!"

He concluded: "If the two donors don't mind, we can hurry, maybe we can get to Xiangsha City tonight." ”

"Thank you, two senior brothers!"

In a few moments, two golden rays of light and a purple light flew away from the sky and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
