Chapter 35 Dongfang Sheng

Huashan is one of the Five Great Mountains.

It borders Qinling Mountains in the south and overlooks Huangwei Mountains in the north.

After entering Huayin County, Chu Yuan asked around and found out the way to Mount Huashan.

Chu Yuan walked along the official road and came to the foot of Mount Hua.

The weather was not good. The sky suddenly became overcast, and after a burst of thunder and lightning, it began to rain heavily.

Chu Yuan was too lazy to hold an umbrella, so he circulated his internal energy and used his innate qi to cover his entire body.

From a distance, it seemed as if there was an invisible air shield outside Chu Yuan's body, protecting his entire body.

Bean-sized drops of rain fell one foot and three inches outside Chu Yuan's body, but were immediately blocked and flowed down the side of his shoes to the ground.

In the Qinling Mountains, Chu Yuan's internal strength has improved recently because of frequent fights with bandits and robbers, and killing people.

The innate qi spread throughout the body and was already one foot and three inches away from the body.

"It seems that my 'Nine Heavens Qi' can also protect me from the rain."

Seeing the heavy rain pouring down between heaven and earth, but feeling that he was not affected at all, as if he was in another small world, Chu Yuan felt very satisfied.

Since the rain had no effect on him, Chu Yuan continued climbing.

He performed Qinggong and was like a white ape.

Crawling on the steep mountain road, it looks very agile.

Mount Hua is indeed famous for its steepness, compared to Mount Emei which he had visited and his own Mount Qingcheng.

Mount Huashan is considered the most dangerous mountain in the world.

In some places, there are vertical stone stairs of nearly 90 degrees, and in some places, there are only one-foot-wide mountain roads, with a cliff on one side and a thousand-foot cliff on the other.

One wrong step can lead to eternal damnation.

Ordinary people would tremble with legs just by looking at it, let alone walk away.

There are poems:
Only the sky is above, and there are no mountains and mountains.

Raising your head, the sun is approaching, and looking back, the white clouds are low.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan was a martial artist and knew Qinggong, so he could walk safely.

"Such a profound internal skill, but the lightness skill is a little lacking."

Just as Chu Yuan was heading towards the top of Mount Huashan, a somewhat feminine voice came to his ears.

Chu Yuan immediately stopped and looked towards the source of the sound.

I discovered that the person who was talking was a hundred feet away from me. He was wearing a red brocade gown. He looked as beautiful as a woman, but he also had a heroic air about him. From the voice, it was obvious that he was a man.

He did not leave the well-carved mountain road. He tapped his toes lightly on the cliffs, stepped on the rocks on the cliffs, and jumped to a height of four or five feet, like an immortal flying in the air, constantly approaching him.

But in just a few breaths, it had caught up with him and stopped in front of him.

"Your Excellency is very good at Qinggong!"

Chu Yuan exclaimed.

With his lightness skill, he could only jump six or seven feet at most. With the help of leverage, he could not jump more than two meters high.

A person like this, who could jump four or five feet high with one leap, was like a god in Chu Yuan's eyes.

"Little Taoist priest, you are too modest. This is the first time I have seen someone with such profound internal energy as you, who can use internal energy to protect the body and block the rain."

The man in red looked at Chu Yuan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Logically speaking, no matter how high one's internal strength is, it is still invisible energy.

It is impossible for him to be like the young Taoist in front of him, who seems to have a layer of transparent air shield around his body to block the rain.

But the Taoist priest in front of him just did it.

The man in red could only attribute it to the special martial arts that Chu Yuan practiced.

However, no matter how special he is, being able to spread his internal energy throughout his body and almost reach within a foot of his body means that this young Taoist priest in front of him is a rare top master with extremely deep internal energy.

"My name is Chu Yuan, what's your name?"

Chu Yuan felt a little curious.

He had some vague guesses about the identity of the man in red, but he was not quite sure.

"Chu Yuan..."

The man in red groaned for a while.

"Could it be that he is the genius junior brother of Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, who defeated the young master of the Lin family and caused the Songshan Sect master Fei Bin to suffer a loss at Lin Yuantu's 70th birthday party ten years ago and became famous all over the world?"

The man in red looked a little strange.

"These are just rumors. I don't dare to call myself a genius, but my senior brother is Yu Canghai."

Chu Yuan nodded in acknowledgement.

"I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but today I see that they are true."

The man in red sighed.

Although the opponent is young, his internal strength is extremely high.

Even if it was himself, he was not sure that his internal strength was stronger than the other party.

"My name is Dongfang Sheng."

The man in red thought about it and said to Chu Yuan.

"It turned out to be Brother Dongfang."

Chu Yuan bowed. "Brother Dongfang, are you here to visit Huashan Sect as well?"

Chu Yuan asked Dongfang Sheng.

"I came to Huashan to look for something."

The Eastern Way of Victory.

"I have some friendship with Lady Ning and Sect Leader Yue of Huashan Sect. Brother Dongfang, if there is anything you want to find, I can help you. Brother Dongfang, would you like to come with me?"

Chu Yuan invited.

Anyway, ten years ago, when I was in Fuzhou City, Ning Zhongze said that I was welcome to visit Huashan Sect at any time.

Moreover, the Huashan Sect owes me a favor!

Although Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun invited me when they got married, I did not come.

Dongfang Sheng pondered for a moment. He looked at the huge Huashan Mountain and felt that it would be difficult to find this thing by himself.

"Is it okay? Will it delay Young Master Chu's business?"

In the end, Dongfang won.

"It's not a big deal. I just came down the mountain to gain experience and visit friends in Huashan."

Chu Yuan doesn't care about the Tao.

It would be more lively if there was one more person.

"Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Chu."

Dongfang Sheng agreed.

"You and I are not too far apart in age, so just call each other brothers."

Chu Yuan said.

Although he is a Taoist priest of the Qingcheng Sect, he does not like to call himself a poor Taoist priest when he is outside.

"Brother Chu."

Dongfang Sheng bowed.

"Let's go up the mountain."

Chu Yuan said.

He had already made inquiries before going up the mountain.

The Huashan Sect is located at the Jade Maiden Peak.

It is part of East Peak.

Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng went to the top of East Peak together.

However, Chu Yuan’s lightness skill was not as good as Dongfang Sheng’s, so Dongfang Sheng always walked in front of him.

However, Dongfang Sheng's internal strength was not able to block the rain, so he was always drenched by it.

Soon the two of them came together and arrived at the gate of Huashan Sect.

He also asked the gatekeeper disciple of Huashan Sect to pass the message to Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun.

……

Huashan School.

Righteous Hall.

"Master Yu Canghai of Qingcheng Sect, Junior Brother Chu Yuan is here to visit you!"

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze looked somewhat puzzled when they heard the report from the Huashan Sect's gatekeeper disciple in front of them.

"Junior sister, you said Chu Yuan suddenly came to our Huashan Sect, what is his purpose? After all, when we got married, he didn't come even though we invited him."

Yue Buqun, wearing a green shirt and a warm jade pendant around his waist, looked at his junior sister Ning Zhongze who was sitting next to him.

"Brother, no matter what, Young Master Chu has done a favor to our Huashan Sect. Since he is here, we must not neglect him and naturally have to entertain him well."

Ten years have passed. Ning Zhongze, who had long hair back then, has become a married woman. She wears her hair in a high bun, decorated with a hairpin, and wears a fitted blue jacket and skirt, exuding a mature aura. When she heard that Chu Yuan was coming to visit her, she looked very happy and said to her senior brother Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun felt somewhat unhappy when he heard this.

One was because of Chu Yuan’s sudden arrival and Junior Sister Ning Zhongze’s expression of happiness and unhappiness.

The second reason was that when he and his junior sister got married, they had clearly invited Chu Yuan. He wanted to use Chu Yuan and the Qingcheng Sect's reputation to intimidate the Songshan Sect and keep the Huashan Sect's position as the leader of the Five Mountains.

As a result, neither Chu Yuan nor Yu Canghai came, and they only sent two ordinary Qingcheng Sect disciples to attend their wedding banquet, so that his plan failed.

So he felt a little resentful towards Chu Yuan in his heart.

Now that he heard Chu Yuan was coming to visit him, he was not very welcoming.

But since the other person has come, he can't just turn the door away and not see them.

You always need to see it once.

"Go and invite him in."

Yue Buqun ordered the gatekeeper disciple.

"As you command, Master."

The gatekeeper disciple agreed and turned to leave.
