Chapter 244 Chapter 241: Yingnuo and Xuanzhen Palace (please give me your monthly ticket!)
On the lonely peak,
Under the big willow tree.
"What? Who did you say is coming?"
Chu Zhou, who was practicing martial arts, paused and kept his punching posture, but twisted his head almost 180 degrees and looked at Fan Zhong who was rushing over.
"Overlord Xiong Kuo Hai, I didn't quite believe it when the disciple report came up, so I secretly ran to take a look, and it was indeed that person."
Chu Zhou turned his head back again, exhaled loudly, and slowly closed his fist. He turned around, squinting his eyes slightly, and there was a divine light in his eyes.
"Uncle Fan, what is the purpose of this person coming here?"
Fan Zhong had already made plans and said directly: "Of course there is nothing good to do! Otherwise, should I go into retreat as a temple master?
As long as we don't want to see him, it's useless even if he stands guard at the door! ”
"No!"
Chu Zhou shook his head and rejected it, saying: "If someone else comes, I don't have to worry about it, but I still have to see this person!"
After a pause, he sighed again: "The quagmire of Jianghu is indeed easy to get in but difficult to get out of!"
Seeing that Chu Zhou had made a decision, Fan Zhong did not argue and immediately said: "Then I will go and arrange a reception right away?"
"Hurry up!"
Fan Zhong turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he left the courtyard, he heard Chu Zhou's voice: "Wait!"
"Master, do you have any more instructions?"
"Let's go together!"
Chu Zhou's mana flowed around his body, and he washed away the sweat stains. He put on a green shirt and said, "This person is here, and I have to welcome him personally."
With the decision made, Chu Zhou immediately took action, set up his cloud head, and rushed directly to the mountain gate.
By the time he arrived in front of Lingguan Hall, a lot of people had gathered here, including Wei Fangjie and Yi Huai.
Fan Tiehu was still trying to figure out the formation, and Xu Cheng was soaking in the alchemy room every day. They didn't come, but a group of inner disciples also gathered here.
Overlord Xiong Kuohai is a top figure in the world. Even in Xuanzhen Temple, many people regard him as their idol.
Chu Zhou didn't say anything, he just walked down the steps. Wei Fangjie and Yi Huai automatically followed, and the other disciples automatically formed two teams on the left and right.
Just this card made it look like Overlord Xiongkuohai had arrived personally, and with their movements, the surrounding fog dispersed to both sides, revealing a passage.
Xuanzhen Guan,
In front of the mountain gate,
The majestic figure stood there, still tall and domineering, with only one pair of eyes that looked gentle and calm.
He seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't feel that Xuanzhen Guan was neglecting him. He didn't look up until the fog dispersed to both sides.
At the end of the mountain road, a man in a green shirt strolled towards him. He was like a young man walking out of a painting, so handsome and handsome, with a distinguished temperament. He was also like a banished immortal coming to the world, with an ethereal appearance that should not be seen in the ordinary world.
"The Overlord is here to visit. If you miss me from afar, please forgive me!"
The clear voice came, and this brought Xiong Kuohai back to his mind. He smiled and said: "I should have said something rude if I came here rashly.
I just hope that Xiong’s trip will not cause trouble to viewers. ”
"Haha, in the world of life, there are of course both long-term worries and short-term worries. How can we avoid worries?"
While he was talking, Chu Zhou was already close. Looking at the Overlord Xiongkuohai who seemed to be getting more and more powerful, he turned slightly sideways and said: "The distinguished guests are coming from afar. Please invite them inside. Let me have a pot of good tea and show my dignity as a landlord." Friendship.”
Xiong Kuohai did not move, but raised his head slightly and asked: "I came here to ask for something, but I don't want to embarrass the Lord, so it's better to talk about some things beforehand."
The smile on Chu Zhou's face faded slightly and he asked: "What does the Overlord have to say?"
Xiong Kuohai said: "You and I met for the first time. We discussed martial arts for three days, and then we clapped hands and signed an agreement. I wonder if this still counts?"
Chu Zhou was speechless, and after a moment he said: "If you say something out loud, you must acknowledge the water thrown out!"
Xiong Kuo Hai said again: "You once said that if I, Xiong Kuo Hai, were in need, you would take action, but do you really mean it?"
What could Chu Zhou say, he could only say: "Seriously!"
Xiong Kuohai took a step back, hugged his fists, and bowed slowly with his tall body: "At this moment, there are invading armies from the Golden Horde and the Great Yan Dynasty;
There are evil cults inside, causing chaos and chaos. The hearts of the major sects are not unified, and the great fortune is at stake.
I am here not to talk about the people of the world, nor the interests of the sect, but in my own name, Xiongkuohai, to ask Taoist Master Xuanzhen Guanchu to help turn the tide and help the building before it collapses! ”
At this point, Xiong Kuo Hai bowed to the end, his posture extremely low.
Chu Zhou felt quite helpless. This person did not engage in moral kidnapping, and did not care about the exchange of interests. He only talked about the previous agreement, leaving Chu Zhou really helpless.
Of course, looking at the person in front of him, he felt a bit of admiration. He was the pinnacle of martial arts and almost the only grand master. He could do this and he could afford it!
Raising his hand to lift Xiong Kuohai up, Chu Zhou said: "Overlord, can't I fulfill my promise?! Of course, I'm still a little confused in my heart. Would you like to talk in detail inside?"
"I am respectful and do not obey orders!"
……
Lone Peak,
Under the big willow tree.
There is a small red clay stove on the table that is already boiling. Chu Zhou and Xiong Kuohai are sitting on both sides.
Chu Zhou kept his hands busy, washing cups, putting tea, and making tea. He was doing a tea art with great concentration.
Xiong Kuohai, on the other hand, is interested in the current Xuanzhen view. He can see it clearly by sitting on this solitary peak and looking far into the distance.
Only then did he realize that when he looked out from inside the formation, he saw blue sky and white clouds, with a clear field of vision. On the contrary, there was no fog, which made it even more magical.
Both of them seemed to be busy with their own affairs and neither spoke. For a while, there was an atmosphere of silence in the air.
It was not until the tea was boiling and the aroma was overflowing that Chu Zhou pushed one of the tea cups in front of the Overlord, then he quietly said: "Has the matter really come to this point?"
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be here. Master Chu's promise is a priceless treasure. If you use it this time, it will really be gone in the future!"
Xiong Kuohai was sipping tea carefully, and in the steaming heat, it was vaguely visible that his expression was so helpless.
"What confusion does the viewer have? As long as I, Xiong Kuo Hai, know everything, I should tell you everything I know!"
"Actually, I'm confused, mainly because I don't understand. I don't understand why the Three Kingdoms War was so decadent?
I don’t even understand why the Pure World Red Lotus Society and Xuanyue Sect want to help Dayan and the Golden Horde Khanate? ”
This was Chu Zhou's deepest confusion. He always felt that the situation at this time was a bit strange and unusual.
But just like looking at flowers in the mist or looking at the moon in the water, you can't always see clearly!
Xiong Kuohai did not speak immediately, but pondered for a moment, then put down the tea cup and said: "I wonder if the viewer knows the land god?"
"I learned something about it from some ancient books!"
Chu Zhou sorted out his thoughts and said: "The Grand Master is recognized as the pinnacle of martial arts, the end of the road, while the land gods claim to have transcended martial arts.
As for how to transcend? What great power is there?
I haven’t seen it, so I don’t know for sure! ”
Xiong Kuohai smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile: "The land gods are indeed a realm, but they can also be seen as an organization.
They have special means that can help the top martial arts masters take the final step and become one of them, thus becoming land gods.
The biggest benefit of becoming a land immortal is the extension of lifespan, which can reach 300 years, which is a full hundred years longer than that of the great master.
This naturally makes countless martial arts masters flock to him, but in fact, the number of land gods is extremely limited. ”
"They have their own set of screening rules and will only invite the strongest masters of martial arts. The true land gods almost never walk in the mortal world and pay no attention to the trivial matters in the world of mortals."
Chu Zhou asked: "Really you don't care at all?"
“How is it possible!!!”
Xiong Kuohai sneered and said: "What they call ignoring is actually because they think they are superior to all living beings, so they ignore it.
Just like you don't care about the struggle in the ant nest at your feet? !
But when necessary, they will still intervene, take action, and influence the situation in the world! ”
"Why do you think the Great Yan Dynasty separated into the Great Sui Dynasty? Why do you think the Great Fortune was established after the death of the Great Sui II? Why do you think our four major sects can stand among the martial arts sects? Top?
And this battle, do you think that after so many years of friction between Dayan and the Golden Horde, both sides are almost at the same level, so why can they unite this time? ”
"You mean, there are shadows of land gods behind these things?"
"I don't know!" Xiong Kuohai spread his hands helplessly and said: "We know very little about the land gods, so we don't dare to talk nonsense.
However, if the Red Lotus Society and Xuanyue Sect of the two countries can cooperate sincerely, then the two ancestors Honglian and Xuanyue can do it. ”
"Wait a minute, you mean, the Pure World Red Lotus Society and Xuanyue Sect have ancestors who have become land gods?"
"Natural!"
"What about your Ba Zong? Where is the Sanqing Sect? Where is the Gucha Sect? Where is the Martial Temple?
Not to mention the rising star of Wumiao, what about the Ji family royal family? I remember that ancestor of the Ji family, wasn't he a land god? ”
"Of course there is, otherwise our four major sects would not be able to reach the heights they are today!"
"That's even more strange. The Universiade Dynasty is in danger, and they didn't express their opinions?"
Xiong Kuohai sighed and said: "That's the problem. We have contacted you many times, but we have not received any feedback!
We have also discussed that the worst-case scenario is that there will be a battle between the land gods, with winners and losers, and the ancestors on our side have lost power, or all of them are dead.
And this is the source of everyone's loss of confidence. The people above are gone, and no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain. ”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Then why not take a step back?"
"How can it be that simple?! At our level, on top of the mountain, there is no way to retreat!"
Xiong Kuohai sighed and said: "Now we are more about doing our best to obey fate and make a last ditch effort."
Chu Zhou asked again: "What does the Overlord need me to do?"
After a pause in his tone, he continued: "Although I have achieved the golden elixir, it would be unrealistic if you expect me to challenge those land gods alone?
Moreover, they are hidden so deeply that I can’t find them? ”
"The master of the temple is joking. If the land gods really take action openly, then the overall situation has been decided and I won't come to invite you.
In fact, the above are all just our guesses. Whether they are true or false is uncountable! ”
Chu Zhou asked again: "Then what can I do?"
Xiong Kuohai said: "In order to reverse the situation, we planned a great battle to decide the outcome of life and death with Dayan and the Golden Horde!
However, after all, we are one against two, and our high-end combat power is insufficient, especially at the Grand Master level, which is much worse.
Therefore, we hope that you, the temple master, will help us. Even if you don't do the killing thing, you can help us stop one or two great masters, which is already a great help. ”
"That's it!"
Chu Zhou nodded in approval and asked: "Where exactly is it? What time?"
"The specific location is tentatively decided to be Xiangji Mountain. It is a place for food storage and has certain geographical advantages. We are going to use it as a trap.
As for the specific time?
You know, it's not that fast to mobilize troops and gather experts, so you may have to wait a month or two. ”
Chu Zhou nodded: "In that case, just send me a message when the time comes. I will definitely be there!"
After a pause, he continued: "It shouldn't be a big problem for me to stop three or four martial arts masters for you, but my four junior brothers will not go.
In such a grand master's battlefield, they are not strong enough, so it's better not to cause trouble. Besides, my Xuanzhen Temple must be guarded by someone. ”
Xiong Kuohai nodded: "The viewer has the final say! However, the stakes in this battle are very important, so the viewer must arrive in time."
"What I, Chu Zhou, promise, I must promise even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!"
Saying this, he raised his hand, took out three 'thousand-mile transmission talismans' from the storage ring and handed them over, saying: "This talisman can transmit sound for thousands of miles. When the time comes, the Overlord will use this to inform me. .”
"Is this the Immortal Talisman Seal?"
"Yes."
Chu Zhou nodded and explained the methods and techniques of using the talismans. Xiong Kuohai took note of them one by one, and even took out one of them and used it in person to verify it.
By the time the conversation was over, it was already approaching evening, so Chu Zhou invited Xiong Kuohai to have a dinner and stay one night to get over his fatigue before leaving tomorrow.
However, Xiong Kuohai also knew that although this trip was an invitation, it actually felt like coercion, so he didn't want to stay any longer, so he left after saying a few polite words.
Chu Zhou did not force him to stay, but sent him out of the mountain gate.
It is worth mentioning that before leaving, when Xiong Kuohai looked up at the mountain gate, he suddenly said: "Taoist Master Chu, don't you think this Xuanzhen Temple is a bit inappropriate?"
Chu Zhou was stunned for a moment, with confusion on his face, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Taoist temples can be divided into four levels according to their size: palaces, temples, ancestral halls, and temples. A small one can be a temple for the descendants of a family, and a large one can cover more than three hundred miles and isolate the sky.
For example, the Sanqing Palace of Sanqingmen is at this level. Every day, just burning incense and lighting candles, you have to ride a horse and run wildly to finish it. ”
Xiong Kuohai turned his eyes slightly and looked at the Xuanzhen Temple. Palaces were rising from the ground, and there were densely packed pavilions and pavilions. He couldn't help but said: "In the past, Xuanzhen Temple only had one or two main halls. To say 'Guanzhen Temple' 'In fact, it's all exaggerated.
But now, if you are saying that you are a "guan", how many places dare to call it a "palace"? ”
"What you say makes sense!"
Xiong Kuohai seemed to feel that he was in trouble, and shook his head again, saying: "You are just talking nonsense, don't worry about it, Master!"
"Nothing, nothing!"
"Then I'll take my leave first."
"Go on, Overlord, I won't keep you."
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Xiong Kuo Hai left, and his energy was released, like a meteor piercing the night sky, quickly going away, while Chu Zhou stood there, watching his leaving back, and did not move for a long time.
Behind him, many people had gathered.
Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu, Wei Fangjie, as well as Fan Zhong, Wei Jinkui, Qingjing Laodao, and even Hao Songqing, who doesn't like to show up, appeared.
They had obviously gotten the news and knew that the Overlord was worshiping the mountain. They rushed here and were waiting for Chu Zhou's attitude.
Just looking at Chu Zhou in a daze, although their faces looked anxious, no one dared to speak first.
It wasn't until Chu Zhou turned around that Yi Huai couldn't help but said: "Elder brother, do you really want to wade into this muddy water?"
Chu Zhou rolled his eyes: "If I say it out loud, can I take back the water that was thrown out?
I don’t have to give you the face of Xiongkuohai, but I have to keep the promise I made back then!
After all, your senior brother is also a respectable person. You have to do what you promised even if you don’t do it! ”
As he said this, he couldn't help but muttered: "This boomerang hit me. I have lost my temper. I just have time to prepare!"
Seeing that everyone was still a little worried, he did not want to say more, but said: "Everyone, everyone, everyone is gathered today, can you tell me whether what the overlord said makes sense?"
"What?"
"That's the name. Xuanzhen Guan, Xuanzhen Guan, is indeed a bit stingy, and it doesn't fit in with the qualifications of the number one immortal sect in our world.
Otherwise, how about changing to 'Xuanzhen Palace'? Is it more exciting? ”
"Xuanzhen Palace? Xuanzhen Palace! I think it's good!"
"I will reconsider too!"
"Then I'll reconsider it!"
"I have an opinion. Don't you think it's hard to tell the outside world if you change your name now?"
"Haha, the privilege of the strong is to let others adapt to us. That's it. If we change our name, who among them would dare to say nonsense?"
"Yes, yes, that's the truth! However, I think the name can be changed, but it still has to wait a while to announce it to the outside world. It's best to choose a suitable day."
"Then when do you think the time is right?"
"Ordinary martial arts sects usually choose their elders to hold birthday banquets, but our patron... is too young!
Otherwise, next time the mountain gate is opened? ”
"No matter what, from now on, we will be called Xuanzhen Palace!"
Thank you to Chaoxi Baba for the 100 reward, thank you to my beloved across the mountains and seas for the 500 reward, thank you to qlinzhipeng12 for the 500 reward, thank you Feng Tianxiao for the 1752 reward, thank you for the reward!
