Four people came in the sky.

One is a middle-aged man, with a dragon face, containing the power of heavenly wrath, like a green pine, wearing a dark green Tai Chi robe.

Two were girls of the same age, one with a white veil and a feather coat as white as snow, and the other with a vermilion veil and a feather coat as red as smoke. Both of them seem to be from fairyland, fairies who don't eat fireworks in the world.

One is a white and chubby baby fat boy, with two ears like a fan, turtle shell hair, and a wide white robe.

The middle-aged man looked calm, and the three young men all frowned and looked at each other. The white-robed young man quietly glanced at the middle-aged man, stepped forward lightly, helped Chen Tianhong with a pair of fat big hands, and came to the middle-aged man.

"This is the master, the Dao name 'Holy Martial Arts'. This person dressed in white is the second senior sister 'White Tiger'. This person in red is the third senior sister 'Suzaku'. I am your fourth senior brother 'Xuanwu'. After the white-robed young man introduced them one by one, he said in a deep voice: "Seventh junior brother, don't you want to meet the master and the two senior sisters?"

"Meet Master and the two senior sisters!"

At first, Chen Tianhong's head was raised, but during the mechanical visit, his head slowly lowered, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his body not only trembled. After all, he came from a remote village in the mortal realm, and when he saw the characters who were now dominating the Shenzhou Continent, he still had the courage to do more.

The Holy Martial True Monarch is one of the nine major sects and one of the sects that is in charge of the Divine Temple, and is one of the only fifteen people in the world who is called "True Monarch". Sit down the four major disciples, Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, and take over the four heavenly guards early. And he himself was the eldest of the "Yuan Emperor" of the Nine Sages. Therefore, from the family to the sect, its power is huge, and its foundation is solid, it is self-evident.

"In the past three years, you have been wronged. It's all about the teacher's lack of consideration. Saint Martial True Monarch said gently, "Now, your retreat mission has been completed. For the time being, go to 'Chaoyang Peak' to live and cultivate there with peace of mind. In your spare time, you can go to the study hall to do something and slowly exercise and sharpen. ”

"Oh!" Chen Tianhong replied in a weak voice, he tried to calm his excited heart, and said to himself: If I am surprised, the secret of the grotto may be revealed. Until I find out, I'll have to keep it a secret forever.

Xuanwu let out a sigh of relief, looked helpless, and said in a low voice: "Little junior brother, then let's go first." With Chen Tianhong and the foal, he took the lead and left Chongming Peak.

As soon as the two left, Bai Hu couldn't help but shake his head, and said unhappily: "Master, it's still too late for you to send him home now." Why bother cultivating such a person? ”

Suzaku also chimed in: "I remember that the first time I saw him and the second time I saw him, all his thirty-two meridians were opened. Why did he not see him for three years, and his meridians became the legendary 'Absolute Pulse'? How could such a person cultivate a future?"

Saint Martial Zhenjun smiled faintly and said softly: "People always believe in their own eyes the most, but it is often their own eyes that deceive themselves the deepest. His pair of torch-like golden eyes glanced at Chong Mingfeng, his expression was calm and a little frightened, and after a long time, he shook his head slightly, and said: "In the past three years, where will Lao Qi hide? Could it be that that mysterious grotto can really only be found by the blood of a greedy wolf?"

The white tiger and the Suzaku looked at each other, as if they understood something, but they didn't fully understand.

Baihu said: "Master, you accepted Chen Tianhong as a closed disciple, could it be ......?"

Saint Wu Zhenjun smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said, "There is nothing mysterious. From the beginning of Lao Qi's induction with Qingyun Monument, he is destined to be only my disciple. Unfortunately, I had the last spot left. ”

Suzaku said, "That...... How does Master plan to cultivate such a successor?"

"People who are really capable are not deliberately cultivated. The talents that have been deliberately cultivated are nothing more than 'pets' confined in that circle. Saint Wu Zhenjun changed his words and asked, "The matter of the 'Blood Demon Beast' of the Nine Holy Mountains that the two of you are tracking down, and the matter of the 'Earth Demon Beast Golden Mantis' that raided Chongming Peak, can there be any results?"

Suzaku said: "The matter of the 'Blood Demon Beast' is extremely weird. The only thing worth doubting is the foal next to Chen Tianhong. However, it was still alive after the Nine Sacred Stones combined to detect the bloodline, and it didn't seem to be it. Other tracking, no results. ”

White Tiger said: "The 'Earth Demon Beast Golden Mantis' suddenly came to Chongming Peak through the defense area of the 'Qinglongwei'. This demon beast path leads to the sky, and after several encirclements and suppressions, it is still allowed to escape. When she replied, she cautiously glanced at Shizun and said softly: "Shizun, in the past three years, there have been rumors that many of them are related to Senior Brother. The disciple firmly believed that this was just a mistake when exchanging patrols in the Qinglong Defense Zone. ”

"Okay!" Saint Martial True Monarch nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the end of these two matters. You don't have to keep tracking. Next, you are to focus on the side of the Dragon Mountains. ”

Baihu said: "Isn't the master worried that the 'demon clan' or the 'barbarian' will launch a 'war of aggression' again?"

"Not bad. As a teacher, I do have some concerns. "Saint Martial True Monarch said, "It has been 1,800 years since the last battle between the human race and the demon race. It had been 1,200 years since the last great war between the Terrans and the Barbarians. According to the time span of the all-out attack and all-round rest of the demon clan and the barbarian race in the past, if they invade again this time, it will be an unprecedented war. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions. ”

The White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird said in unison: "Obey the teachings of the master!"

* * *

Back at Chaoyang Peak, Xuanwu directly took Chen Tianhong to a cave in the north and landed. Xuanwu put away the fairy sword, wanted to overweight the Ming jade, approached the cave, took out a yellow talisman, and pasted it on the heavy Ming jade. Then, the face of the talisman was attached to the stone door, and together with the heavy jade, it was inlaid into a groove on the stone door, and a yellow light suddenly appeared.

Xuanwu beckoned, motioned for Chen Tianhong to step forward, and said, "Little junior brother, press your hand into the light!"

Chen Tianhong didn't understand, just silently did so, pressed his right hand for a moment, and a bird-shaped sigil formed at the groove. After a while, there was a muffled sound, and the heavy stone door slowly opened.

"Senior brother, this is the cave where you will practice and live in the future. In the future, if you can't break through to the 'Divine Conception', you may never have the opportunity to change the cave. Xuanwu said weakly, "Little junior brother, senior brother thinks you have to go...... Can be a bit long. You've got to do it. At noon today, I will send someone to send you all the spiritual resources you have received in the past three years. In addition, your figure has grown so much that you can't wear your previous clothes, so you have to make a new one. It will probably be delivered tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, senior brother!" Chen Tianhong said thank you respectfully and sincerely, and said in his heart: I have poor qualifications, and I don't advance but retreat, which really makes this senior brother feel a lot of heart. After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Senior brother, I don't want this cave mansion, and I don't want to cultivate immortals here. I just want to go home. ”

Xuanwu smiled and said, "It's not up to you." He glanced at Chen Tianhong mysteriously and explained: "A month later, it will be 'Kaiyuan Huiwu'." You are a close disciple of the Master, and you must have the qualifications. As for whether Master allows you to participate, that's another story. Three months later, it was the 'Nine Saints Huiwu', and the top nine of the 'Kaiyuan Huiwu' from each of the nine major sects participated in the competition. ”

Xuanwu patted Chen Tianhong on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Little junior brother, don't worry too much, just cultivate with peace of mind." You just need to remember that our master is called 'Saint Martial True Monarch'. ”

With that, Edgeworth departed.

Chen Tianhong stood in the corner of this deserted and silent foothill, as if he had stood in Heilonggang again. Seemingly, there is no difference between the two. Maybe it's the psychology of "mourning is greater than heart death" at work.

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the other end of the foothills, Chen Tianhong looked sideways, and saw a thin and shrewd young man walking towards him, a pair of fox eyes couldn't help but look at Chen Tianhong and the foal.

"You're new here?"

Chen Tianhong nodded and did not answer.

"It seems that your qualifications ......," the young man shook his head, "it's really not good." was actually arranged in this cave house. ”

"Oh?" Chen Tianhong sensed something, but didn't know how to ask.

"There have been deaths in this cave......"

"Huh?" Chen Tianhong's face changed slightly, and he said in his heart: Senior brother won't make such a joke with me, right?

"It was about a hundred years ago. The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "I heard that the sect predecessor has the surname 'Baili' and is a cultivation madman. Because of the cultivation of the school's 'Heavenly Sword to ward off evil spirits' supernatural powers, he went mad and died tragically in this cave. ”

The young man paused for a long time before continuing: "No one has collected the corpse so far!"

He seemed to be waiting for Chen Tianhong to ask, but he didn't expect Chen Tianhong to say a word. The young man's mouth pursed slightly, slightly embarrassed.

"You don't seem surprised at all. Could it be that you already knew?"

Chen Tianhong shook his head and said, "Why didn't anyone collect the body of that senior?"

The young man explained seriously: "This is the rule of the sect. If someone falls in their own cave, the sect will seal the cave. The lockdown will not be lifted until the next owner moves in. Everything in the cave house naturally belongs to the new owner. ”

"Including the collection of corpses?"

"Of course, or you will be allowed to take advantage of you in vain?" the young man raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile: "Brother, who are you, what are you, what is your origin, and what hall do you belong to?"

Chen Tianhong was stunned, after he asked, it was really a little difficult to say, thought about it, and replied: "My master asked me to go to the study hall to do things in my spare time. ”

"Master?" said the young man speechlessly, "You still have Master?"

"Yes!"

"What's your master's name?"

Chen Tianhong shook his head. He wanted to say "Holy Martial Arts", but when he heard that it was from that hall, he was confused. Because the Fengshen Temple is the name of the sect, there are more than 30 halls, halls, peaks, etc. under the sect.

The young man's face pulled and said, "Don't you think I'm serious?"

"My master's name is 'Shengwu', but I don't know where he is!"

"it! Could it be, after a long time, I chatted with a neuropath?" The young man flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily, walked more than ten steps, stopped and turned back, and said loudly: "You can't be called Chen Tianhong, right? The person who had an induction with the Qingyun Monument!"

Chen Tianhong smiled slightly.

The young man walked back again, looked up and down, and said suspiciously: "Three years ago, the Earth Demon Beast sneaked up on Chongming Peak, aren't you already dead? This really stunned me!"

Chen Tianhong smiled faintly and asked, "Senior brother, where is there a coffin to buy?"

But the young man said, "Why don't you ask me what my name is?"

"Hmm~" Chen Tianhong said embarrassedly, "Then what is your name, senior brother?"

"You should ask me about my name!" the young man said in a deep voice, "It seems that you are really Chen Tianhong, a standard countryman." ”

The young man cleared his throat and said in a long voice, "I...... Surname Zhen ...... Name...... Not easy. His voice suddenly lowered, "It stands to reason that I have to call you Senior Brother." However, those of us who cultivate the truth are all respected by strength. At present, my Taoism is higher than yours, and you have to call me senior brother. The voice raised again, "In the future, call me Senior Brother Buyi, just call me." ”

"It's not easy, senior brother!"

"Hmm!" Zhen Buyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Actually, after the death of our cultivators, there is very little talk about collecting corpses. Basically, it is all cremation, so that the ashes are sprinkled all over the Shenzhou Continent, making the last contribution to the aura of heaven and earth. However, if you have the heart to collect the corpse of Baili senior, then you go and cut down a big tree, hollow it out, and use it as a coffin. ”

Zhen Buyi suddenly laughed and said, "Because there is indeed no place to buy coffins in the sect." ”

Chen Tianhong thought to himself, it is not easy for people to live for a lifetime. Although he has never met that senior, he should receive a whole corpse. Therefore, he nodded at Zhen Buyi.

Zhen Buyi was very enthusiastic, personally led the way, came to the nearest woods, and helped cut down a tree. Of course, by the way, he also showed off his magical powers. When he returned, he didn't come with him.

Chen Tianhong walked to the door of the cave mansion and saw that a bunch of things had been placed, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It seems that I, the disciple of the sect, is really not very good!"

After a moment's pause, he walked towards his new home. This time, he still didn't know what he was up against.
