Chapter 649 Zhuang Zhengqi
Liang Yan and Jia Ruoyan both suppressed their cultivation to the foundation building stage. They followed behind Shengchi and flew for a whole day and night before they arrived before sunset. Arrived at a swampy land.
This is a grand scene in the Xu Kingdom. It is said that the entire swamp has a total of 108 lakes of various sizes, which are shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts in them.
Therefore, ordinary secular travelers will only visit the beautiful scenery near a few large lakes on the border, but few dare to enter the depths of the swamp.
The cultivation sect Huxin Sect is located in this vast swamp shrouded in fog.
Sheng Chi took Liang Yan and the two of them through the heavy fog, and after flying in the swamp for about half a stick of incense, they saw a large lake in the distance.
This large lake covers hundreds of hectares. There are pavilions, pavilions and waterside corridors on the lake. Various buildings are hidden in the mist. Together with some flashing fish in the lake, It renders this place like a holy land of immortals.
“This Huxin Sect’s handiwork is pretty good!”
Liang Yan looked at the magnificent scenery nearby and secretly admired it in his heart.
Sheng Chi saw a hint of admiration on his face and was quite proud, but then he sighed and said: "This is the inheritance of our ancestors. We, the younger generation of disciples, are unworthy, and I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it! ”
"Oh? What does Brother Sheng mean by this?" Liang Yan asked doubtfully.
Sheng Chi shook his head, seemingly unwilling to say more on the matter, and led the two of them directly towards the center of the lake.
The Huxin Sect is famous for practicing water-based Taoism. Liang Yan walked through the corridor and saw many sect disciples along the way. They were all sitting cross-legged on the lake, meditating and practicing special luck methods.
And there seems to be another mystery hidden under this seemingly ordinary lake. Strands of true water energy were introduced into the bodies of these disciples through the lake, and then used by them to practice their own skills, just like a huge dojo.
Shengchi took them through several passes and finally came to a meeting hall.
When Liang Yan stepped through the door, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe and a kind face sitting in the main seat, and there were some monks on both sides of him, who seemed to be reporting things to this person.
When the middle-aged man saw Shengchi coming in, his eyes immediately lit up, he waved his hands and said to the left and right: "Okay, that's the end of today's discussion, you can go down first!"
< br>After hearing this, the monks each bowed and then retreated without saying a word.
After everyone left, the middle-aged man in blue robe stood up, with a hint of excitement and a little nervousness on his face.
"Elder Sheng, will this trip go smoothly?"
Sheng Chi smiled slightly, reached out and took out a cloth bag from his arms, and handed it into the middle-aged man's hand.
"Fortunately, Sheng lived up to his fate and successfully obtained the martial arts token for the sect master!"
"Hahaha! Okay!" The middle-aged man laughed and reached out to pat Sheng. Chi's shoulder said: "Elder Sheng is indeed the pillar of our sect. With this martial arts token, our Huxin Sect still has a chance to make a comeback!" He smiled. After a while, he turned to look at Liang Yan and asked: "Who is this?"
Sheng Chi immediately replied: "This fellow Daoist Zhang is Sheng's savior. On the way If he hadn’t come to his aid, it would be a trivial matter for Sheng to die right now, and I’m afraid the token would have been snatched away by Jin Lu of Lieshan Sect!”
"Jin Lu!" There was a faint anger in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said bitterly: "This guy who eats everything inside and outside, I thought I treated him well back then, but he was ungrateful, and instead secretly plotted against me!"
"Jin Lu is dead, and he died at the hands of this fellow Daoist Zhang!" Sheng Chi said with a smile.
"Oh?" The middle-aged man was slightly surprised. He looked Liang Yan up and down again and said with his hands raised: "Zhang Daoyou's magical powers are really good! That Jin Lu has already become proficient in earth element Taoism. Even if They are two late-stage foundation-building elders of our sect. In one-on-one situations, We may not be able to defeat this person for sure, but Daoist Fellow Zhang can actually kill him, which shows that Fellow Daoist is extraordinary!”
“Hahaha, it’s just a small trick! Our brothers and sisters have been living in the mountains for a long time, and we are not as knowledgeable as the sect master! The real biography of the big sect!" Liang Yan laughed.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a smile: "My fellow Taoist is too modest. Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Zhuang Zhengqi, the current leader of the Huxin Sect. I wonder where my friend comes from?"
< br>
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "We, brother and sister, are casual cultivators from the Fire Cloud Cave in Zhuque Mountain. We fled to a place outside the country due to the secular war, but accidentally obtained a secret book of exercises in an abandoned cave, and we have been on the road since then. On the road to cultivation."
Zhuang Zhengqi was moved when he heard it. He was not curious about the bizarre encounters Liang Yan made up, but he caught the key point in Liang Yan's words: "loose cultivation." !
"It turns out he is a monk from the 'Fire Cloud Cave'!" Zhuang Zhengqi laughed and said: "Nice to meet you! I see that fellow Taoist monks have already built the Taoist foundation at such a young age. I don't know what the next step is. Plan?”
Liang Yan knew what he was thinking, but he didn’t say anything at the moment. He just mused: “We have been living in the mountains for a long time, and we have encountered difficulties in cultivation. I have reached a bottleneck, so I want to go down the mountain and walk around to see if I can make a breakthrough in my state of mind."
After hearing this, Zhuang Zhengqi sighed and said: "Zhang Daoyou doesn't know something. This kind of casual cultivation is really difficult. , many bottlenecks are not bottlenecks in the first place, but they are stuck in place because of lack of cultivation resources.”
Liang Yan knew that he was getting to the point, and immediately made a helpless expression and said: "What Sect Leader Zhuang said is reasonable. We, brother and sister, have suffered in this regard and have been stuck in the middle stage of foundation building for more than thirty years. .”
“If you don’t mind it, you can join our Huxin Sect. Although the Huxin Sect is nothing. Although the sect is a big sect, there is no shortage of cultivation resources for foundation-building monks, and there have been monks in the 'Fake Alchemy Realm' in our sect's history, so the inheritance of the sect is not necessarily any worse than other sects!"
Zhuang Zhengqi finally extended an olive branch, and Liang Yan smiled in his heart. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
According to the information he learned after entering the Xu Kingdom, although the Yellowstone event hosted banquets from all over the country, the Xu Kingdom naturally occupied a lot of places due to its convenient location.
Many invitations were scattered across Xu State, and some were even taken to auction houses or exchange meetings, but some also fell into the hands of local sects in Xu State.
This "Ningyang Mountain Martial Arts" was organized by the Ningyang Sect, and thirteen sects from the northwest of the Xu Kingdom were invited to attend the meeting together to divide the Yellowstone event with rankings in fighting skills.
If Liang Yan wants to sneak into the Huangshi event, invitations alone are not enough, he also needs to have a legitimate identity, and some small sects in Xu State are a good choice.
In addition, he also wanted to take advantage of this Ningyang Mountain martial arts competition to get an invitation for his assistant Jia Ruoyan.
