Chapter 433 That’s it?
Xin Zhen didn't play for too long, because he knew that the journey might not be safe, and he had to reach Longhu Mountain as soon as possible to be safe.
So now that they were back on the flying boat, they said, "Let's go back to Longhu Mountain."
Zhang Gongyu smiled and said, "Why don't you fly back and we can just walk slower."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "You can play anytime in the future. Big things are important."
Zhang Gongyu nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll go back now."
After saying this, Zhang Gongyu made a hand gesture and the flying boat quickly accelerated.
However, Xin Zhen did not relax his vigilance. He looked around carefully and saw that Zhang Gongyu and his fellow apprentice did not look relaxed either. It seemed that the water was really deep.
But surprisingly, they did not encounter any ambush on the way to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.
Xin Zhen suddenly understood why this happened.
It is estimated that Longhu Mountain did not let Zhang Gongyu go back, so Longhu Mountain assumed that Zhang Gongyu would stay in the capital. Therefore, when Zhang Gongyu suddenly returned to Longhu Mountain, those who had ulterior motives naturally could not react.
Moreover, the speed of this flying boat was too fast. It only took half a day to reach Longhu Mountain from the capital. This time was too short and it was basically difficult to take any countermeasures.
Moreover, the sky is much vaster than the ground. On the ground, you can judge where to intercept by the route, but it is basically difficult at high altitudes, and it is not possible to check the route of an airplane.
"Stop!" When the flying boat arrived above Longhu Mountain, a cultivator flew up from the mountain and shouted to stop the boat.
"It's me, Zhang Gongyu."
Zhang Gongyu folded up the flying boat, and the three of them stood in the air.
"Master Zhang is back. Let's go to the foot of the mountain and rest first." said the man.
Fang Shirui's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Tang Shanyi! What do you mean by this? You dare to stop the young master's carriage, and even dare to ask the young master to wait at the mountain gate. Are you going to rebel?"
Tang Shanyi glanced at Zhang Gongyu, who looked grim, but he was not afraid. He said, "It's fine on normal days, but not today. The Heavenly Master is ascending today. In order to ensure a smooth ascension, Longhu Mountain does not allow entry or exit. If Master Zhang wants to go in, wait until the Heavenly Master ascends."
Xin Zhen immediately noticed the shock on Zhang Gongyu and Fang Shirui's faces and asked quickly, "What's going on?"
Fang Shirui said anxiously, "Everyone knows that the old master is a top master in the world, but he is only at the Jade Realm, not the Ascension Realm. There are still two realms away from the Ascension Realm. How can he ascend? This must be a conspiracy! Something big must have happened inside, so they are stopping people from entering!"
Xin Zhen raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Gongyu and said, "Brother Gongyu?"
Zhang Gongyu gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, Grandpa is still far from ascending. How could he ascend now? And if he ascended, why wouldn't he recall me? How could he act so hastily? Someone must have rebelled!"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Then we must fight to the death! Brother Gongyu, Brother Shirui, don't think too much at this time, just rush in, Brother Gongyu must appear in front of the old Taoist priest!"
Zhang Gongyu and Fang Shirui looked at each other and nodded, with a fierce look in their eyes.
Zhang Gongyu whispered, "Brother Weizhi, you should leave here first. Your realm is too low. We have no way to protect you from this attack."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Gongyu and Brother Shirui, just charge ahead. I will naturally protect myself."
Zhang Gongyu nodded and said, "Then you must not be impulsive." Then he and Fang Shirui nodded, and the two of them turned into two golden lights and rushed inside.
Tang Shanyi shouted loudly: "Someone broke into the mountain gate, stop them!"
After he finished speaking, a golden light flashed and blocked Zhang Gongyu and the other two.
Xin Zhen laughed loudly, and turned into a beam of light and appeared in front of Tang Shanyi, saying, "Your opponent is me."
Tang Shanyi snorted and swung his right hand towards Xin Zhen like a hammer.
Fang Shirui said: "Weizhi, be careful. Tang Shanyi is known as the Golden Hammer Protector in the martial arts world. He is a cultivator of the seventh realm. His Six Yang Hammer is also one of the unique skills of Longhu Mountain. You can never defeat him!"
Zhang Gongyu shouted, "Tang Shanyi, if you dare to hurt Weizhi, I will never give up!"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, just go ahead."
Before he could finish his words, a huge pressure came from above, as if a god was swinging a sledgehammer and hitting him. All the grass and trees on the mountain under his feet fell down, as if they had been hit by the sledgehammer.
Xin Zhen turned into a ray of light and escaped. There was a loud bang, and a huge mud pit was hammered out where he was standing.
Xin Zhen was also shocked: What a powerful force!
Tang Shanyi defeated Xin Zhen with one blow, and without caring about what Xin Zhen did, he started to chase Zhang Gongyu.
Xin Zhen's mind moved, and a green sword pill appeared. Tang Shanyi was immediately surprised and exclaimed, then turned to look at Xin Zhen, with a little caution in his expression, and said, "You are a fifth-level warrior, but you have nurtured a sword pill. You are a disciple of Shushan Sword House. What is your name?"
Among the martial arts sects in the world, Yu's Terrace is the first, Wuhou Sect is the second, and Leidong Tower is the third. This is generally acknowledged, but these three martial arts sects do not dare to call themselves so because there is Jianlu in the world.
Shushan Jianlu is a very peculiar sect, they have both warriors and qi cultivators. It is inappropriate to say that they are a qi cultivator sect, but it is also inappropriate to only think of them as a warrior sect. But calling them a sword sect is most appropriate.
Seeing that Tang Shanyi was no longer chasing Zhang Gongyu, Xin Zhen was willing to delay for a while, so he smiled and said, "I am Xin Zhen, nice to meet Brother Tang."
Tang Shanyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is your relationship with Xin Shiyi Niang?"
Xin Zhen was stunned and asked, "Xin Shiyi Niang?"
Tang Shanyi sneered, "Don't say you don't know Xin Shiyi Niang Xin Yu, a 10th-level martial artist, a great master of the ultimate realm, and the martial artist with the greatest hope of breaking through to the 11th level of the martial god realm. Therefore, she is honored as the 11th Niang. She is so famous, even if you are not a descendant of Jianlu, you can't be a legend among martial artists who don't know her, right?"
Xin Zhen was stunned. Xin Yu?
Then he burst into laughter. How could it be possible? How could his sister appear in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and be a martial artist of the Tenth Realm?
But he really didn't know. He only knew that there was a warrior in the tenth realm named Xiahou, and he didn't have time to know the rest.
Xin Zhen asked curiously, "Why does Brother Tang think I'm from Jianlu?"
Tang Shanyi snorted and said, "A martial artist in the fifth realm can have a sword pill. Apart from Jianlu, what other family can inherit it?
How could the Qi Refiner's inheritance allow his disciples to follow the path of a warrior? And among the warriors, even if it was the Yu Family and the Wuhou Sect, where could they find the sword pill for the fifth-level warriors? Those who could get the sword pill were all martial arts masters who had entered the third level of the God Refiner. "
Xin Zhen nodded in understanding and said, "So that's how it is."
Tang Shanyi said: "However, even if you are a disciple of Jianlu, you should not interfere in the affairs of Longhu Mountain. I will not embarrass you, just leave quickly."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I am not a disciple of Jianlu, but a subordinate of Master Zhang. How can I flee in the face of battle? Please enlighten me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sword ball turned into a ray of clear light and flew towards Tang Shanyi. Tang Shanyi did not dare to be careless. He grasped the air and a sledgehammer was in his hand. He smashed it hard towards the clear light.
"White clouds emerge from the mountains." Xin Zhen said softly.
The clear light suddenly turned into mist, bypassed the sledgehammer and rolled towards Tang Shanyi. Tang Shanyi was shocked and his whole body was flashing with golden light. Only the sound of ding ding ding like a rainstorm could be heard, and the golden light actually trembled in an instant and became dim.
Tang Shanyi was shocked: What kind of swordsmanship is this? Even the Longhu Mountain Golden Light Curse is difficult to resist. You have to know that I am a cultivator of the seventh realm, and the young man in front of me is just a warrior of the fifth realm.
Tang Shanyi said angrily: "You still say you are not the heir of Jianlu. Apart from Jianlu, which other flying sword is so unpredictable like yours?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "There are many sword techniques in the world. Do you know them all? Jianlu sword technique is certainly powerful, but my Huashan sword technique is also good."
Tang Shanyi was surprised and said, "Huashan swordsmanship? When did Huashan have a martial arts tradition?"
Xin Zhen said: "There are many famous rivers in the world, and there are many hermits. Have you heard of them all? Look at the sword, the green mountains are in the distance!"
The mist suddenly became lighter, but it had the momentum of a green mountain, pressing down from top to bottom. Tang Shanyi's legs suddenly sank, and the golden light spell was about to shatter. Tang Shanyi roared, "Thunder is coming!"
Tang Shanyi smashed the sledgehammer in his hand fiercely, with countless electric lights wrapped around it, and smashed it towards the faint green mountain. With a crackling sound, the green mountain immediately turned into wisps of mist.
Xin Zhen made a sword gesture with his hand, sneered, and said, "Golden Goose Flies Across the Sky!"
The curling mist suddenly condensed and turned into a circling wild goose, as if flying across the sky and pouncing towards Tang Shanyi.
The attack was so fast that Tang Shanyi had no time to react. He screamed and wanted to retract his sledgehammer to block it, but it was too late. He could only take a deep breath, and a fierce golden light burst out from his body, and he used the Golden Light Curse to withstand the sword!
There was a loud bang, followed by a crackling sound. Tang Shanyi was thrown dozens of feet away like a kite with a broken string. He fell in a very miserable state. After landing on the ground, he stretched himself up with his arms and tried to get up, but he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
The sword ball now gathered into a crystal clear bead, spinning happily around Xin Zhen. However, Xin Zhen looked a little hesitant. Looking at the embarrassed Tang Shanyi, he asked hesitantly, "Master Zhang said that you are a sea-viewing realm Qi-refining master?"
Tang Shanyi said with a bad look: "Yes, I am a Qi Refiner in Guanhai Realm. What's the problem?"
Xin Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "All the cultivators in Guanhai Realm are like you... well, their combat power is about the same as yours?"
Tang Shanyi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Are you trying to say that you are as weak as me?"
Xin Zhen quickly waved his hands and said, "I have absolutely no such intention, absolutely no such intention, please don't misunderstand me."
Tang Shanyi was filled with shame and indignation, and angrily said, "How dare you humiliate me like this? I, I, I will fight you!"
Xin Zhen was not willing to get entangled any longer, so he turned into a streak of light and slipped away to chase Zhang Gongyu.
However, he already had the answer in his mind. According to Fang Shirui, Tang Shanyi was probably not weak among the cultivators in Guanhai Realm, otherwise he would not have earned the title of Golden Hammer Guardian. Longhu Mountain was the leader of the righteous path, and there were more than thousands of cultivators in it. Not everyone had a nickname, and those who had a nickname must have something extraordinary about them.
Xin Zhen thought to himself, if that was the case, then Huashan swordsmanship was truly powerful!
Well, it should be said that the Huashan sword technique combined with the sword pill is really powerful.
Oh, no, it should be said that it is amazing!
After all, he was only at the fifth realm, and it didn't take much effort for him to defeat Tang Shanyi, a seventh realm cultivator. After the fight, Xin Zhen even had a feeling of "that's it".
The key point is that Tang Shanyi is a well-known master, not a small fry or a casual cultivator. He is from the genuine leader of the righteous path, Longhu Mountain. The magic he cultivates is based on the Golden Light Mantra among the Eight Mantras of Longhu Mountain, and he uses the Longhu Mountain's unique Six Yang Hammer as his means. With this configuration, it is already a top-notch configuration in the martial arts world. However, he only blocked two of his moves when facing himself.
Of course, this was due to the combat experience he had accumulated over hundreds of years, but this was also his first time fighting with a cultivator, and he had seen very few of their methods, so he could not say that he had the advantage in this regard.
The only explanation is that this sword ball may not be ordinary, and this Huashan sword technique may also be unusual.
I heard from Tang Shanyi that this sword technique is Jianlu's own, and it is unpredictable. In other words, the flying swords of other swordsmen may not have so many changes?
It seems that Huashan swordsmanship is really not an ordinary skill, and the other Five Mountains swordsmanship probably won't be much worse.
Xin Zhen was a little excited: they were all treasures!
Xin Zhen was extremely fast and reached the gate of Longhu Mountain from the foot of the mountain in just a blink of an eye.
Perhaps because of the prosperity of Taoism, this Longhu Mountain is quite different from the modern Longhu Mountain. Its majestic appearance of a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling is even more impressive than that of later generations, and the grandeur of the Taoist temple is incomparable to that of later generations.
Looking up from the mountain gate, one can see Taoist temples scattered all over the mountains.
Zhang Gongyu and his companions were stopped outside the mountain gate and were confronting the guards.
Xin Zhen's arrival attracted their attention. Zhang Gongyu was overjoyed when he saw Xin Zhen coming: "Weizhi, I'm glad you're okay."
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Why, the little Taoist priest from Mount Longhu can't even enter the mountain gate, isn't this a bit ridiculous?"
Fang Shirui said angrily, "These people said that the old Heavenly Master was about to ascend to heaven, and they wouldn't let us in because they said they were afraid that we would ruin this great event."
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "What else is there to say? If they are willing to give way, then fine. If they are not willing to give way, then we will charge in. Brother Gongyu is the grandson of the old Heavenly Master. If they even try to stop Brother Gongyu, are they rebelling?"
"Nonsense!" "Who is this kid? How dare he come to Longhu Mountain and act so recklessly!" "Capture him. After the old Heavenly Master ascends to heaven, we will ask the abbot to hold him accountable!"
The Taoists at the door started to scold.
Facing the rebukes from the Taoists, Xin Zhen asked Fang Shirui, "Who is the abbot?"
The abbot is the person in charge of all internal and external affairs in a Taoist monastery.
Those who take on the important task of abbot must be fully talented and wise, well-informed, be kind, righteous, humble, magnanimous, willing to humble oneself to protect others, gentle and kind, understand the cause and effect of sin and blessing, and have both merits and deeds.
Fang Shirui whispered, "It's Zhang Xifu. The old Heavenly Master doesn't usually take care of things. It's always Zhang Xifu who's in charge."
