Chapter 160: The Beginning of the True Legend: The Lord of an Island
The escape speed of the Jade Lingbao Palace is astonishing, and in less than a day, Dongsheng Luzhou is in sight.
Zhou Qing opened the small window, stood in front of it, and looked around.
In front of us is a vast continent, with a round sky and an infinite horizon. From time to time, thousands of stars line up and rise up, straight across the sky, dazzling, and then suddenly fall into the continent. You can faintly hear the sound of stars exploding, and then streams of gloomy green energy rush into the sky. It rises, condenses but does not disperse, and contains an indescribable aroma.
“The stars are sprouting, and the green air is fragrant.”
Zhou Qing stood in front of the window and was slightly shocked when he saw this scene.
What you see in front of you is definitely not the real stars in the sky, but the incredible forbidden magic circle of Zhenyi Sect, which leads up to the Gang of Nine Heavens and connects down to the thick earth energy, which combines the yin and yang and turns them into dragons and tigers, thus giving birth to Yuanyuan. Constant inspiration nourishes this continent.
It’s really a generous move, and it’s worthy of going to Xuanmen.
As Zhou Qing turned around, the Jade Lingbao Palace sank, reflecting the tiny stars in the sky, and entered the continent.
Arrived inside, not long after flying, there was a spiritual peak blocking the way. A straight white jade stone step leads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. At first glance, it looks like a white dragon shaking its head and tail. Above the dragon's head, smoke and clouds curl up, and palaces are looming. They are all tall, thick, majestic and far-reaching.
Even on the Flying Palace, you can see that there is a plaque hanging on the front palace, and the three characters "Changqingyuan" shine brightly, with golden patterns from top to bottom, more than thousands, and clear mysterious sounds. Spread around, echoing everywhere.
In Luzhou, Yuandu, there is the Changqing Pavilion. The outer disciples and inner disciples of the sect go there to register and receive the cave and other cultivation items. In Dongsheng Luzhou, it is Changqingyuan, responsible for the affairs of the true disciples.
Changqingyuan has an unusual status in Dongsheng Continent.
Zhou Qing took another look, and the envoy sat down from the Fei Palace. With a slight turn, he had entered Lingfeng, and then came to the front of Changqing Courtyard.
In front of the main hall, on the steps, there is a pair of Taoist boys on duty, talking quietly. Anyway, I have nothing to do, just relax and unwind.
At this time, there was only a roar, like a thunderous explosion, and then a startling rainbow fell from the sky. Wherever it went, brilliant light shone around, causing incense and color, singing and spitting beads, and then a figure stepped on Come down to Hongqiao.
The two boys heard the sound and looked around, and found that the person who came was a young man with a silver crown and robes and a handsome face. Under his feet was the rainbow bridge, and wonderful sounds were flowing. Behind him, in the sky, a flying palace could be seen, which was very impressive.
“A deacon Taoist boy saw what seemed to be a silvery moon behind the person’s head, with frost all around, falling in colorful colors. He was startled, knowing that this was the new true disciple of the sect, and hurriedly stepped forward. Said: "The little boy has seen Shang Zhen. "
"Hmm. "Zhou Qing nodded, looked around, and said loudly: "I am Zhou Qing. I came to the courtyard to receive the cave abode. "
" Zhou Shangzhen. "When the Taoist heard this, he gave his companion a look and asked him to go in and report. Then he stood at the door and spoke carefully to Zhou Qing.
The competition in every session of Zhenyi Sect's Zhenzhuan is very fierce, and every Zhenzhuan disciple is extraordinary.
They, the deacons and Taoists, are in Changqingyuan and see the true disciples frequently, and they are more and more aware of the terrible consequences if they offend the true disciples.
It was not long before footsteps came from inside. A middle-aged man with a gentle face walked out. The door on his head was covered with elixirs like frost, reflecting his long and narrow eyebrows. As soon as he came out, he rushed towards Zhou Qing. He smiled and said: "I guess you will come here in the next few days, but I didn't expect it to be so early."
Zhou Qing thought of his sixth uncle Zhou Chen's instructions when he came, turned his eyes and recognized the person, There was a smile on his handsome face and he said: "But Brother Zhichang is in front of you?"
"Haha." Hearing that Zhou Qingneng took the initiative to recognize him, the middle-aged man Zhou Zhichang who came out laughed and looked very happy. Happy.
The deacons of Changqingyuan arrange the training caves for the true disciples in the sect and do other things. They have many daily affairs and seem to have a lot of power. But in fact, the deacons working here are cautious and not as good as the outside world thinks.
What they are facing is the true disciple of the sect, not ordinary disciples. Every true disciple is not easy to mess with. When working in Changqing Pavilion, you can't even think about taking advantage of others, hiding things from your superiors and bullying your subordinates. Sometimes, if you do things according to the rules, you will be offended when you encounter a true disciple with a bad temper.
Therefore, those who are willing to serve in the Changqing Pavilion and serve as deacons are mostly monks who no longer expect to make progress in their cultivation. No matter how high their cultivation level is, compared with the true disciples like Zhou Qing, their status in the clan is still on the ground level and in the sky.
The two exchanged a few words. Zhou Zhichang was in front, leading Zhou Qing inside and said, "Other things are easier to talk about. I will take you to choose a cave first."
Zhou Qing While walking, I looked around. Compared with Changqing Pavilion, Changqing Courtyard looked very quiet, with almost no people.
After all, in the sect, only one true disciple is selected from the inner disciples every five years. There are only three true disciples in each term. The number of true disciples is far less than that of the inner disciples and outer disciples.
He looked at it, spoke, and said, "Is there a blessed place in the courtyard now?"
The caves used by monks are collectively referred to as places of cultivation, but they are specifically divided into "cave heaven, blessed land, and true place." There are six levels: Palace, Qi Mansion, Xuan Lu, and Jing She. Among them, they are divided into upper and lower classes depending on the number of Qi pulses and spiritual intelligence.
In Zhenyi Sect, true disciples can choose "Blessed Land" and "Zhen Palace", inner disciples can choose "Qi Palace", and outer disciples can only choose "Xuan Lu" and "Jingshe".
As for Dongtian, it is basically in the hands of Dongtian people and will definitely not appear in Changqingyuan.
As a true disciple, Zhou Qing did not expect to live in the cave, but he came here to get a blessed place, and the true palace would not consider it.
After Zhou Zhichang learned that someone in his clan had risen to the top in this generation of true inheritance, he did some homework and knew what he was doing. He said: "There are now twelve blessed places in Changqing Pavilion. You can choose one."
"Twelve places." Zhou Qing heard that it was not a small number, and he had a lot of choice. He smiled, with deep eyes, and said: "Some of these blessed places have been watched by people. ?”
The aristocratic families in Zhenyi Sect have always been very capable. When they launch their own children to compete for the true inheritance, they will also make arrangements in Changqingyuan in advance to protect their favorite cave. Once one's own children can stand out and are successfully promoted to true successors, they can directly enter the chosen cave.
Although this is not stated openly, it is nothing new in Changqing Courtyard.
"Six blessed places." Zhou Zhichang answered without thinking. He specially marked these six caves.
"I don't care about this." Zhou Qing strode inside. Although he looked young, when he spoke now, his face was firm, and his tone was unshakable will and self-confidence. , said: "I will pick whichever one I like."
Zhou Zhichang smiled, not surprised.
As a direct descendant of the Zhou family in Luochuan, you only need to abide by the rules on the surface. As for the "hidden rules", follow them if you want to. It is really hindering your own interests. It is completely fine. Kicked away without any scruples. The direct descendants of the Luochuan Zhou family have such confidence!
The two of them were talking and came to an attic.
There are about dozens of jade-colored bells hanging under the eaves of this attic. When the wind blows, a clear and melodious sound will sound. It is ethereal and elegant, penetrating into the human bones and refreshing people. Like a spring breeze.
Zhou Zhichang glanced at the little boy standing in front of the door with his hands down, and said: "Go and report to the deputy master, and tell the true disciple Zhou Qing to come and choose the cultivation cave."
"Yes. "The Taoist boy recognized Zhou Zhichang, the deacon of the courtyard, and he agreed. After entering, he came out quickly and said, "The deputy director of the palace is inside, please come in."
Zhou Qing's expression did not change. He took the lead and strode in, and saw that there was a high platform inside, and the Vice-President of the Palace was sitting on it. She had long eyebrows and elegant makeup. She was wearing an aqua palace skirt. There was a cloud on the top of the door, and further up, a rouge-colored line hung down. The precious energy is a tiny spiritual bird, only as big as a finger, hovering and flying, coming and going, holding spiritual sounds in its mouth and constantly flapping its wings.
"I've met the deputy master of the palace." Zhou Qing bowed after coming in. After all, the other party was not only a Nascent Soul cultivator, but also the deputy master of the Changqing Academy.
There was no smile on the jade face of the Vice-President of the Palace. With a move of her hand, she took a jade slip from the shelf on one side. Then with a flick of her finger, the jade slip arrived in front of Zhou Qing. Opening it automatically, she said: "There is the empty Blessed Land Palace inside. Take a look."
Zhou Qing could sense the other party's alienation. He didn't care. He and Luo Chuan Zhou behind him You can't let yourself be loved by everyone, and the flowers will bloom, just with a change of consciousness, you can enter the jade slip and choose the cave.
Just by looking at it, Zhou Qing frowned. He thought for a while, raised his head, and asked upwards: "The Deputy Head of the Palace, the Blessed Real Palace in the Changqing Courtyard has no owner, and only the jade slips are on it." "These?"
His voice deepened, with a hint of coldness.
"Let me take a look." The deputy head of the palace took the jade slip back with a move of his hand, took a look at it, and then took another one from the wooden frame and sent it to Zhou Qing. His expression remained unchanged and his expression did not change. : "The jade slip just now should be from before. Take a look at this one again."
Zhou Qing took a deep look at the Deputy Palace Chief above, and then inserted his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip. , this jade slip has three more blessed places than the one just now, for a total of twelve. He looked at it for a while, made a decision, took back his consciousness, and said: "Deputy Palace Master, I choose "Taihe Island."
Taihe Island is a blessed place in the northwest of Dongsheng Continent. The aura of gold and water on it is very strong, which is suitable for him to practice the two mysterious skills "Yuanhuang Hualong Tu" and "Taihe Island". The Book of Gold for Spiritual Life.
"Taihe Island." The Vice-President of the Palace who was sitting above heard that Zhou Qing had chosen the blessed land and was silent for the time being. On the green hair on one side of her body, the jade hosta moved, flowers fell down, and the mist and moon appeared. There was a deep darkness reflected on her jade face, and her expression could not be seen clearly. After a while, only the voice came down, saying: "Zhou Qing, I think there are other caves, don't you want to take a look again?"
The meaning of the other party's behavior was very obvious, but Zhou Qing didn't care. He snorted coldly in his heart, his voice was like stone, unshakable, and said: "Vice-President Palace, I have made up my mind, I will choose Taihe Island."
The Vice-President of the Palace did not speak any more, and with a wave of his hand, a talisman flew over and hung in front of Zhou Qing. The two seal characters of Taihe on it were extremely simple, accumulated green energy, and were on the verge of falling, with mysterious sounds clashing with each other.
“This is the forbidden talisman of Taihe Island in the blessed land.” Zhou Qing stretched out his hand, took off the talisman and held it in his hand. I am very lucky, this blessed land is suitable for me.
“Okay.”
The deputy head of the palace closed his eyes, stopped talking, and pretended to see off guests.
Zhou Qing and Zhou Zhi often looked at each other, then left the attic and went inside. Obtaining the forbidden talisman of the Blessed Land is just the beginning. It also needs to be registered in Changqing Pavilion and recorded in the book. Zhou Qing is the real master of Taihe Island.
In the corridor, Zhou Zhichang looked at no one on the left and right, narrowed his eyes, and asked: "Is there something weird about the first jade slip that the deputy palace chief took out just now?"
Zhou Qing had nothing to say about this. Unable to say anything, he replied directly: "There are only nine blessed places in the first jade slip."
"Only nine places?"
When Zhou Zhichang heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. In a flash, I understood the thoughts of the Vice-President of the Palace.
There must be someone who has a good relationship with the Vice-President of the Palace who is interested in certain blessed places in the Qing Palace and has informed them in advance. So when Zhou Qing came to choose the cave, she deliberately took out a hidden one. Jade slips from three blessed places.
If he hadn't done his homework in advance and understood the details of the unclaimed blessed land in Changqing Courtyard, or if he hadn't communicated well with Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing had actually chosen the cave from this jade slip, then everything would have gone smoothly. If Zhou Qing didn't fall into the trap like the scene just now, that would be it.
Anyway, it’s just a try. If it works, I’ll be happy, but if it doesn’t, I’ll give it up.
"Hateful."
Zhou Zhichang gritted his teeth secretly, and the chill in his eyes became even stronger. If Zhou Qing really fell into the trap, he would be the culprit and bear the greatest responsibility, and the clan would not forgive him. himself.
"Let me remember you for now."
Zhou Zhichang knew that the position of Vice-President Palace was unusual. Not only did he obey her orders, but even Zhou Qing could not do anything to her. However, it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. When the time came in the future, he would jump out and give her a push.
The two walked for a while and turned the corner. The main hall for the registration of the cave was right in front.
At this time, there was only a soft sound, a little golden light emerged, and then the light rose up, like a suspended wheel, and then the golden color hung up like a bead curtain, and a middle-aged Taoist walked. When he came, he wore a crown on his head, pearl-colored fairy clothes, and a magic sword hanging at his waist. His eyes were amber and jade, and he looked untainted by the world.
"Zhou Qing." When the visitor saw Zhou Qing, his eyes moved. He spoke directly and said: "You chose Taihe Island, do you want to think about it again? I think there are other blessed places without owners. "It's quite good."
His tone did not sound harsh, but had a kind of jade-like gentleness, without any hint of the overwhelming power of Master Yuanying.
Zhou Qing was startled for a moment, then reacted and said: "It's Taihedao, the most suitable for me."
"That's fine."
The middle-aged Taoist nodded after hearing this. No more words, just passing by.
It seemed as if he was passing by and did not come specifically for Taihe Island.
Of course, this is impossible.
Zhou Qing was in a calm mood. He went inside and successfully registered, becoming the real owner of Taihe Island.
