Chapter 9: The Battle of the Pleiades
After the Chu Dao people returned to the mountain, they immediately went to see Zhang Yan and explained the passage of the trip.
Zhang Yan praised: "Senior Brother Chu has done a very good job, but he wants to ask for advice, so what is the origin of Xu Yimen?"
Chu Daoren said: "Sun Tong, the head of Xu Yimen, also has a Dan cultivation, this person has a deep friendship with Bai Jiying, a disciple of Yongfu, but the lord of the mansion is afraid that they will have any arrangements?
Zhang Yan smiled: "No need, I will go with Zhang Daoyou this time." ”
Chu Daoren immediately put his mind at ease, two Yuanying monks, there is no one who can compete with them in this Shenwu Mountain, even if the other party makes a ghost, there is no need to be afraid, but he did not forget to remind: "Yongzhen people have a wide range of friends, and there is no shortage of powerful magic weapons in their hands, the mansion master needs to be careful." ”
Zhang Boyan let out a sneer at this time, as if he was very disdainful, and Chu Daoren looked puzzled.
Zhang Yan glanced at Zhang Boyan and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chu reminds me that I will be careful. ”
Zhang Yan is going to go to the appointment tomorrow, maybe he will fight with Yongfu, Chu Dao people don't dare to stay longer, so they will say goodbye after a while, and return to the cave with easy steps.
He first took out the key exercises given by Zhang Yan and sent them to Zhao Ge and Wen Daoren Cave Mansion respectively, these two people were very happy when they got the exercises, although Chu Daoren was also happy, but it was inevitable that there was a little loss in their hearts.
After turning out, he arranged the things that Zhang Yan had explained one by one, summoned another disciple, and asked, "Has Zhong Yuan ever come back?"
The disciple said, "The apprentice has been guarding in front of the mountain gate for a day, and I have not seen Uncle Gao come back. ”
Chu Daoren's brows furrowed, and he sensed something wonderful in his heart.
At this time, he saw a disciple running over in a panic. From afar, he shouted: "Master, it's not good, it's not good, I don't know who cut down one of the three Cangzhu young trees." ”
"What?"
Chu Daoren's heart chuckled, and his face became extremely ugly, the three Cangzhu trees were originally guarded by Gao Zhongyuan, but at this moment, there was a problem, and the person disappeared again, and he didn't need to think much about it to know that it was his guard who stole it.
He tugged at his beard and beckoned them to him. He said in a deep voice: "You two must not discuss this matter. If there is a leak, I will ask you. ”
The two disciples rarely saw that the Chu Dao people were so stern, and they all responded in a trembling voice, and said, "Obey the order." ”
Chu Daoren shook his head. I went back to my own cave. I heard the sound of footsteps softly. Then a warm and delicate body came up on his side, but it was a beautiful and bewitching woman, and he saw that his expression was wrong. Concerned asked: "Master, why are you full of sorrow? The concubine heard that there is a new head of the family, but is it not good for you?"
Chu Daoren shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Zhang's cultivation is profound, and he treats people kindly, he still has the person who Master Shen likes, he is a hundred times better than me, it is best to have him as the head, but it is just ......"
He said Gao Zhongyuan and sighed: "I didn't expect that this person was an internal thief, and I treated him like a nephew in vain, if it wasn't for the fact that it was not easy to cut down the vermilion wood, I am afraid that it would have been taken all today, I think about it carefully, this person has already had an abnormality, only hates my old eyes and dizziness, and I have never noticed it, and tomorrow when the senior brother in charge returns from the appointment, I will ask him for guilt." ”
The woman came up and put her arm on his shoulder, and said softly: "Don't blame yourself, master, you have worked hard for two hundred years for the affairs of the door, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence, and it is just one young tree missing, and it is not a big deal." ”
Chu Daoren smiled bitterly: "You don't understand, Cangzhu Mu is no better than others, even if these three plants are still young, they are worth a lot of money, one less plant, how can the head of the cave mansion be built?"
The woman persuaded: "Since the head of the family is a generous person, he must not blame the master." ”
Chu Daoren sighed and said, "I hope so." ”
Early the next morning, Zhang Yan and Zhang Boyan, under the gaze of a group of disciples, rode the mighty wind and galloped away, and disappeared into the sky in an instant. These disciples had never seen the majesty of the Yuanying Cultivator, and they were all dazzled and fascinated.
Wen Daoren was even more excited, and said: "The master of the mansion is so profound, and there is Zhang Zhenren's help, this trip must be worry-free." ”
Over there, Zhao Ge also kept nodding, his eyes showed joy, he got the exercises yesterday and practiced for one night, but found that it was far better than usual, if he continued to practice like this, it would not take him ten years, he would be able to break through the shell and enter the double realm.
Only Chu Dao people seemed to have something in their hearts, and they barely showed a little smile.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Boyan were extremely fast, and in less than half a moment, they arrived in front of Tiebing Mountain.
Zhang Yan looked down and saw that among the snow-covered mountains, there was a valley with birds singing and flowers, just like a green bead embedded there, he was also surprised, and pointed and said: "Presumably that is the Pleiades Valley." ”
Both of them are experienced people, and after going around this valley for a while, they confirmed that there was no formation prohibition, and then Xiangxia fell and stood on a big rock. Facing the valley in the east, there is a stone wall behind it, and a small stream flows at the foot, so you can see the scenery of the valley at a glance.
After waiting for a while, I saw a wind flying, and then slowly descended, landing not far away, and three people came out. When the first person had a cloud fluttering on the top, his appearance was extremely elegant, a beautiful beard hung down his chest, and his demeanor was chic, and he didn't seem to be surprised by the appearance of two Yuanying monks in front of him, and walked over and said to the two: "The two Taoist friends are polite." ”
Zhang Yan returned the salute and said, "But Yongdaoyou?"
Yongfu said with a smile: "It was here that I heard that Zhang Zhang's family was summoned, and I came to make an appointment." ”
Although he looked like he was smiling as usual, but there was a nervousness in his heart, the two Yuanying monks were here, especially Zhang Yan, there were two real and one virtual Gangyun on the top, and it was clear that there was still one step away from entering the Yuanying Dual Realm, and he was also deeply pressured, so he had to pretend to be calm.
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and something flew out, a flash of light flashed, and an exquisite pavilion appeared on the flat ground, with cups, tables and chairs, he stretched out his hand and said, "Yongzhen, please." ”
Yongfu looked unfazed on his face, and he also said a request, and the two stepped into the pavilion together.
After the two saluted again, they sat down separately, and Yongfu spoke first: "I haven't congratulated Daoyou on taking over as the head of the Hanyuan faction. ”
He took out a jade box from his sleeve and placed it on the stone table, "Monk Shanye, I can't prepare any generous gifts, just a box of amber Gangying, and I hope Zhang Zhenren won't laugh at it." ”
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "The courtesy is serious." ”
Amber Gangying is extremely rare, and it is also a rare thing for Yuanying Monks, and if others are here, they have long been happy with the color, but Zhang Yan is an exception, he has Junyang essence in his body, and he doesn't value this thing very much.
Yongfu looked at his words and looks, and saw that his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, whether it was fake or not, it could show that this person was not easy to deal with.
Zhang Yan didn't talk about other things, but only persuaded him to drink and tell some anecdotes.
Yongfu also responded frequently, and after about an hour, he finally couldn't hold back and asked, "I don't know what happened when Zhang Daoyou came down to come down?"
Zhang Yan smiled, put down the wine glass, and said frankly: "Without him, I just want to gamble with Yongdaoyou." ”
Yongfu didn't ask the reason, only asked: "How to gamble?"
Zhang Yan said lightly: "I want to fight with Daoyou, if the poor Dao is lucky, I will ask Daoyou to let Xiancheng take charge." ”
When he was in the Xiji Sea Realm before, he didn't have a deep feeling for Xiancheng, but after talking with Chu, Wen and others, he realized that this was actually the lifeblood of the various factions.
There are many sects in Dongshengzhou like stars, as long as there is an immortal city, it is the mountain gate that is broken, as long as the monk does not die, it can still be re-established in another place;
But once the immortal city on the earth boundary falls, the countless sects that depend on its existence will be scattered, and there will be no support from the big sects, and they will not want to recover their vitality.
It's like the Xianluo Sect, there was originally an immortal city in the Beimo Sea Realm, but since it was occupied by that demon cultivator, all the cultivators in the sea could no longer gain a foothold, and Zuihou fled.
In Dongshengzhou, to measure the strength of a faction, it is to look at the number of immortal cities, like the Great Chu Kingdom to the south of Shenwu Mountain, and it is said that it occupies more than 30 immortal cities.
There is also a fairy city in Shenwu Mountain, when Shen Baishuang was there, he was in charge, and since he left, he was taken over by Yongfu, who was the highest cultivator.
Such an important place, Zhang Yan must be in his hands.
It's just that the Asan faction is different from today's Hanyuan faction, not to mention the deep roots, the mountain gate control array is extremely reliable, and the immortal city is also covered with a large defensive array, which is not easy to break, if it is hard to fight, it is extremely time-consuming and laborious.
And his purpose is to run the mountain gate well, and by the way, it will be more convenient for him to practice, and he doesn't want to make a bloody storm, if he can voluntarily hand it over through gambling and fighting, it would be the best.
Yongfu heard his purpose, but his heart sank, and his voice was a little tougher, and he said firmly: "If it's something else, I'll let it go with Daoyou, but this immortal city, it involves all the disciples in the door, but I can't give in half a step, and I have to fight with Daoyou, but if Daoyou loses, what should I do?"
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "If the poor Dao loses, within ten years, the two of us will obey the call of your faction, what do you think?"
Yongfu's eyes lit up, if he could get two Yuanying Daoists to do things for him for ten years, what would that immortal city be?
He was also decisive, and immediately responded: "Okay, then this seat will accept this contract, but the rules of the fight need to be changed." ”
Zhang Yan said: "What do you think Daoist friends should do?"
Yongfu stretched out three fingers and said, "Daoist friends and I have fought three times in one day, and the two winners are the winners." ”
Zhang Yan changed his mind slightly, nodded and said, "I will depend on Daoyou." ”
Yongfu stared at Zhang Yan and said, "This time I should invite all the Taoist friends in the Shenwu Mountain Realm to observe and testify. ”
Zhang Yan nodded and smiled: "It should be so." ”
Yongfu said: "It's decided!"
After the two made an appointment to fight, they swore by high-fives, and after drinking again, they left separately.
On the way back from Yongfu, the disciple beside him couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you sure you can win against that person?"
Yongfu pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "I haven't compared it yet, how can I know that this humane should be above being a teacher, looking at its momentum, it is not bad to think about the ability to fight." But if your brother can borrow that treasure, then the odds are great. ”
