Three days later, on the second day of February.

Xisheng Mountain, full of auspicious clouds, golden flowers sprinkled all over, more than 1,000 maids in colorful clothes, and officials in blessing robes greet the guests in front of the palace.

The mountain has already gone to the forbidden mountain in the past, in the misty mist, there is a high and thousands of big platforms, the golden light is thousands, the streamer is radiant, the name of this platform is called Jin Zhong, it is the place where the patriarch of the sect gathered for the banquet in the past years, that is, the origin of the name of the Zhongtai faction.

Since the second generation of the head of the door in charge, then in the stage to dig the soil to open the lake, called the nourishment liquid, there are thousands of hectares, the lake is piled up with stones and hills, up three high mountains, divided into Yingyang, Xi Li, Zerui, the three mountains are surrounded under the Jinzhong platform, the form of worship, and each other is connected with the jade bridge, Fang Cheng Zhongtai "Jinshan moistens the water, Baiding overlooks the mountain" of the weather.

Zhang Yan and his entourage of five people arrived by flying boat, looking down at this moment, they saw the green lake below, the copper hall concentrating, the pavilion and water bridge, bending and surrounding, a group of infinite scenery.

The lame Taoist looked at it and sighed: "Just looking at this scene, who would have thought that the Zhongtai Gate was already full of vitality, and it was not as good as it used to be." ”

Song Chuyuan had no good impression of the Zhongtai faction, snorted, and sneered: "It's just a return to the light." ”

The white light flashed below, and a Zhongtai disciple came up and arched his hand: "Dare to ask the Venerable Immortal Township?"

Zhao Yang took out the invitation card from his bosom and shook it, the disciple looked at it and said respectfully: "It was Zhang Zhang, who came from the Divine House, please come down with me." ”

The people who came to the banquet here, who were qualified to sit on the Golden Zhongtai, were all Yuanying masters, and many of the junior disciples who came here together could only go to the three mountains to drink the banquet, but this disciple saw that Zhang Yan had only one Zhao Yang to serve, and he didn't say anything.

Most of Zhongtai's disciples were relatives of the Emperor of Chu. Extremely respectful and humble, even if he went to the cabinet, he also divided the seats according to his status and status, and divided the seats according to the upper, middle and lower halls.

Between the three halls, separated by 36 layers of jade steps, only those who are good friends with the Zhongtai faction and have outstanding strength are respected to the upper hall.

For Zhong Tai, Zhang Yan is still not famous at the moment, but because of his desire to cultivate deeply. It is also the palm of a faction. Four of the five people were Yuanying cultivators, although they didn't come from some famous cave mansion, the disciple didn't dare to go down to the hall, but invited him to sit in the middle hall.

After taking a seat. Zhang Yan swept left and right. I saw that the main hall was very wide. Unobstructed view, unobstructed view, sit here. You can see the pear blossoms falling in the distant mountains, the jade rain fluttering, the peach forest powder makeup, and the spring brings joy, which can be described as beautiful.

He turned his eyes again and looked at the seat, there was only one person sitting here who could reach the Yuanying Duality Realm, and in the upper hall, there were two or three people sitting in the same cultivation as him, and there was no one who could reach the Yuanying Triple Realm.

In fact, in Dongshengzhou, in addition to the disciples of the big faction, it is not easy to cultivate to the Yuanying realm, many monks have a long life expectancy when they enter this realm, and then go up, it is just to add some Taoism, there is no great opportunity, there is no hope of glimpsing the secret of the cave in life, and it is safe to enjoy the sound of entertainment, and there is no heart to forge ahead.

When he looked by, the two of them who happened to be near a table also looked over, and saw that he was profound, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, he was busy turning sideways slightly, and bowed his hand as a salute, Zhang Yan smiled slightly, and also returned the salute.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Song Yuanchu, who was sitting next to him: "Is there Song Daoyou here?"

Song Chuyuan glanced at it a few times and whispered: "There are two, but they are enemies." He pointed to one place and said, "Those are the two." ”

Zhang Yan looked at it as he showed, and saw that a hundred zhang away from him, there were two strangely dressed Taoists, one of them had a gray beard, a ruddy complexion, delicate like a baby, and an air of dust, while the other had a withered face, eyebrows drooping to cheeks, a shriveled nose, and an ugly appearance.

Song Chuyuan's voice carried a little hatred, and said: "The white-haired man is called Yang Fengxiao, he was originally an elder in the sect, and the younger one is named Gu Hongtang, who is his junior brother of the same lineage. ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "If Daoist friends can't find someone who has passed down the secret book for a while, there is no need to rush for a while. ”

Song Chuyuan was willing to take refuge in Zhang Yan, just so that one day he could hand over the secret method of the master to the same sect, so as not to lose the Taoist system, but at that time, he only took sixteen years as the appointment period, and he was very afraid that Zhang Yan would take his life, so he hesitated for a moment, suddenly bowed down, and said: "If Zhang Zhenren does not dislike it, the villain is willing to serve the real person with his life's strength." ”

Zhang Yan was not surprised, smiled, nodded and said: "Song Daoyou has a pure temperament, even if he is willing to enter my door, the poor Dao is just unwanted. ”

When Song Chuyuan heard this, he felt a lightness in his heart, as if the shackles of many days had been taken off, and then solemnly rubbed it again, went back to sitting, and then picked up the wine glass and saluted, and drank it from his neck.

Zhang Yan smiled, also picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and when he put it down, he heard whispers from the neighbors. ”

Another person said: "After the first two dragon pillars, more than half of the elders in the Zhongtai Gate were killed and injured, and at that time, there were rumors that Master Qiao was going to invite someone from outside the sect to be an elder. ”

The person before sighed, lowered his voice and said: "This is on the boundary of Zhongtai, I don't know how many high-ranking people are watching me and waiting, you and I understand that matter in our hearts, don't mention it again, so as not to offend people in vain and not know it." ”

The other person understood and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it was the younger brother who was negligent." ”

Further down, the two of them talked about trivial matters on weekdays, Zhang Yan shook his head and smiled, and he didn't want to listen.

Almost half an hour, the guests in the hall have come one after another, then suddenly heard a bell ringing, first came out of a painting boat, flew out of more than 100 female concubines, with its exchanges, colorful petals sprinkled all over the sky, and then saw a cloud hanging from the sky, but it was not seen, as if flying from the sky, and then heard a chime, the phosgene dispersed, a black-haired Taoist person held Ruyi, walked out from the inside.

The Zhongtai disciple elder below saw it. They all bowed down and praised: "I've seen the real person in charge." ”

The people present also stood up from their seats to salute.

The head of Zhong Taiqiao has a pair of slender phoenix eyes, rhinoplasty and red lips, long hair to the abdomen, dignified appearance, a crown of purple stars on the top, wearing a splendid mountain and river robe, and three clouds on the top, with a spiritual rhyme. There is a sign of unity. He smiled aloud and saluted: "Qiao is late, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The guests below didn't even dare to say it, and Master Qiao glanced at a ceremonial official in front of the hall steps. The latter stepped forward. I was about to speak. But at this moment, I suddenly heard someone below: "Master Qiao, Lao Dao heard that he was recruiting strangers." I don't know my background, so I came to defect, but I can arrange my senior brothers in the lower hall, but I am not convinced. ”

Zhang Yan turned his eyes and found that the person who spoke was an old man with a crane hair and a childish face, and it was Yang Fengxiao, a fellow disciple of Song Chuyuan.

The head of Qiao is very well-cultivated, so he didn't feel annoyed, glanced down, and said with a smile: "It's not that Qiao is rude, the people here are either profound, or famous, but they don't know what friends are capable of?"

Yang Fengxiao turned around, looked at the people around him, and said loudly: "Old Dao, if I cultivate thaumaturgy, I will hurt people, and it is not easy to perform on this banquet, but there is a 'skull and abdomen, washing the intestines and cutting out the heart' can be demonstrated." ”

There was an uproar below, the body of the cultivator could not be damaged at all, if there was any defect, not to mention the achievement of the avenue, even the cultivation would be damaged, but don't cut off the skull and cut out the heart, it is those who are powerful, if the practice is not profound, the body is broken, it is also the same to die, as for the head of the six yangs, it was cut down, and I have never heard of it and can still live.

Master Qiao was interested, and said, "Isn't Daoyou joking?"

Yang Fengxiao smiled proudly and said, "Master Qiao, Lao Dao is not a crazy person, don't dare to joke about such things." ”

Song Chuyuan looked suspicious, he had never heard of this thaumaturgy in the door, even if there was no record in the secret cave collection, he said secretly: "Could it be that he has not seen it for more than a hundred years, and what secret art has he learned?"

Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, one of the twelve divine powers in the Mingcang faction, the "Void One Yuan Vitality", can do this, but I don't know if this person will also have such magical powers.

Head Qiao looked left and right, and then nodded to him: "Then please give it a try, if you really have such ability, why not." ”

Yang Fengxiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately loosened the silk silk around his waist, untied his robe, revealing the flesh and skin of his chest and abdomen, touched his neck, patted his belly again, and shouted: "Which one is here to do it." ”

Song Chuyuan clenched his fists and wanted to step forward to give it a try, but before he could stand up, he heard someone on the steps: "Is this seat okay?"

Yang Fengxiao looked over and saw that the man had thick lips and thick eyebrows, a thick beard, a burly man, and an extremely powerful appearance, daxiao said: "It turned out to be Elder Xiang, I heard that the elder was a general of the Chu State before entering the Tao, bravely crowned the three armies, and held the sword, I think it is ruthless and spicy, and it is the most enjoyable." ”

Elder Kong didn't say much, he grabbed it with his hand, and he had already taken out a thick-backed big knife from his sleeve, stepped down the steps, and took three or two steps in front of Yang Fengxiao.

Everyone is staring at this moment, seeing this scene, they all have a cold neck, but the strange thing is that although the head is gone, the body is not falling, and there is no blood spurting out of the broken mouth, at this time, there is a daxiao in the hall out of nowhere, everyone follows the reputation, and they are not shocked, it was Yang Fengxiao's head.

The original face of the head was facing the ground, and at this time, the bones flipped over, turned around, and said loudly: "Everyone, my head is temporarily sent here, there is no need to rush it back, Elder Kong, please cut open my belly." ”

Master Qiao smiled on it: "No need, Daoist friends only have this thaumaturgy, which has opened my eyes, come to someone, and give me a seat in the temple." ”

Elder Kong was close, and he could see that this was not some illusion, but that he had really cut off his head, and he was not surprised.

Yang Fengxiao shouted: "Master Qiao, the old Taoist is coming up, I'm afraid that some Taoist friends are not convinced, so let me finish my means." ”

As he spoke, the headless body trembled, took out a knife out of nowhere, slashed at his abdomen, and then went in for a while, took out a hot heart, raised it with one hand, signaled to everyone, and then put it in, stretched out his hand, the wound had disappeared, the headless body left the table, staggered and took two steps, bent down and grabbed the head, and pressed it on the neck again, first straightened it, and then pinched it with his hand, the break had been removed, and he twisted his neck, and it seemed that there was nothing to do.

He glanced at the people in the seat, waved his sleeves with a smug look, walked to the Xiangshang Palace, and when he arrived at the case of the head of Qiao, he bowed and sat down.
