Chapter 92: Meeting Dongfang on the Blackwood Cliff

Chu Yuan just stood up from the ground and found something had fallen off his body.

He looked down and found that the Taoist robe he was wearing was burned by the extreme yang energy.

Although it was not directly ignited, it had become like dry bark.

It was fine if I was keeping the same position before, but as soon as I moved, it broke and fell down, turning into a pile of dust.

Fortunately, there were Taoist robes for change in Chu Yuan’s room.

He went to the closet and found a new black Taoist robe to put on.

He felt a little uncomfortable on his head, so he touched his hair again and then pulled out the wooden hairpin that tied his hair.

The next moment, Chu Yuan discovered that his originally flowing long hair had also been roasted like hay, and it did not move at all even when he pulled out his hairpin.

Chu Yuan squeezed it with a little force, and a handful of black dust appeared in his hand.

"Well, the hair is gone too."

Chu Yuan said helplessly.

If a Taoist priest loses his hair, wouldn’t he become a monk?
But I became bald and stronger.

……

After Chu Yuan went out, he asked someone to help him shave his hair, intending to grow it back.

Then he found a Taoist scarf and put it on, barely hiding his embarrassing bald head.

"Master, others castrate themselves when practicing the Sunflower Manual, but you waste your hair when practicing the Sunflower Manual!"

Seeing that Chu Yuan had shaved his head and was wearing a Zhuangzi scarf, Qu Feiyan laughed at Chu Yuan heartlessly in the yard.

"Compared to castration, I would rather lose my hair. Hair can grow back, but once it's gone, it's gone for good."

Chu Yuan said unhappily.

"How many days have I been in seclusion?"

Chu Yuan asked Ren Yingying who was standing beside him.

"It's been four days."

Ren Yingying replied.

She looked at Chu Yuan.

She felt that Chu Yuan's temperament became more extraordinary after he came out of seclusion.

"That's not bad. The extra time is not much. There was something unexpected during this training."

Chu Yuan said to Ren Yingying.

"Uncle Chu, has he mastered the Sunflower Manual?"

Ren Yingying looked at Chu Yuan with an uncertain look.

"It's done."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"When do we go down the mountain?"

Ren Yingying asked Chu Yuan.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it, let's do it today."

Chu Yuan said.

"Master..."

Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Yuan eagerly from the side.

"I've told you before that you can't go down the mountain this time. Practice hard on the mountain. Your senior brother is a whole level higher than you in the realm of Nine Heavens Gangqi."

Chu Yuan refused directly.

"That's because he benefited from Master's training."

Qu Feiyan said angrily.

No matter how Qu Feiyan begged and pestered, since Chu Yuan had decided not to bring Qu Feiyan this time, he would not bring Qu Feiyan.

Afterwards, Chu Yuan went to see his senior brother Yu Canghai again. After telling him what had happened, he went down the mountain with Ren Yingying.

“Uncle Chu, shall we go directly to Jiangnan?”

After going down the mountain, Ren Yingying asked Chu Yuan.

"Let's go to the Blackwood Cliff, the headquarters of your Sun Moon Divine Sect. We need to inform your leader about this matter first."

Chu Yuan said.

Although Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying have already decided on this matter.

But Ren Woxing is Dongfang Bubai's old rival after all, and it was Dongfang Bubai who ordered Ren Woxing to be imprisoned. It would be better to inform Dongfang Bubai about this matter and seek his opinion.

"Alright."

Ren Yingying said.

Seeing that Chu Yuan cared so much about Dongfang Bubai's thoughts, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she had come to see Chu Yuan in advance, otherwise she felt that once she broke with Dongfang Bubai in order to save her father, Chu Yuan would definitely stand on Dongfang Bubai's side.

Dongfang Bubai alone is enough to give people a headache, and adding Chu Yuan to the mix will make it impossible to win.

Since there were only Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying traveling together this time.

So the two of them rode as fast as they could along the way, traveling day and night at a very fast speed.

After leaving Bashu, they went to Xi'an Prefecture in Shaanxi, crossed the Sanmenxia Gorge on the Yellow River, entered the Shanxi Provincial Administration Commission, and then entered the territory of northern Zhili.

Heimu Cliff is located in northern Zhili.

That is the Hebei province in later generations.

Not far from Pingding Prefecture.

After traveling for many days, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying decided to rest for one night in an inn not far from Pingding Prefecture.

"Uncle Chu, go northwest for more than 40 miles and you will reach Blackwood Cliff."

Leave the horses they were riding to the care of the inn's waiter, Ren Yingying said to Chu Yuan while they were having dinner.

"We will go to Blackwood Cliff early tomorrow morning!"

Chu Yuan said to Ren Yingying.

"Uncle Chu, please rest early."

Ren Yingying said to Chu Yuan.

After dinner, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying went back to their rooms to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day.

It's not daylight.

Ren Yingying came to wake Chu Yuan up, and then the two of them rode their horses straight to Heimu Cliff.

After arriving here, Chu Yuan discovered that the mountains here were majestic and the forests were dense.

The mountain is rocky, with ravines crisscrossing, strange rocks standing in rows, and trees growing among the rocks with twisted branches spreading out.

There is a stone staircase winding up along the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, they left their horses in the care of the Demon Cult, and then the two of them walked up the mountain.

Here, from time to time, one can see members of the Demon Cult guarding various places on the mountain.

However, because Ren Yingying was the Holy Lady of the Demon Cult, she would greet the two and let them pass no matter where they went.

soon.

They came to a stone cave hanging in the belly of the mountain.

There is a huge stone chair at the top of the cave, and the sun and moon symbols are engraved on the top of the backrest.

"Uncle Chu, this is the hall where my sect holds meetings. That stone chair is the throne of the leader."

Ren Yingying introduced to Chu Yuan.

"The scenery here is nice, no wonder it can be used as the headquarters of the Demon Cult."

Chu Yuan said to Ren Yingying.

After Chu Yuan took a quick look at the general situation in the cave, he discovered that the meeting hall of this demon cult should be a natural stalactite cave with an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

Many of the furnishings inside were artificially transformed by the Demon Cult on the original natural scenery.

Just like the leader's throne, it was originally a huge stalactite column, and was later carved into the leader's throne.

There are also many natural landscapes that have been preserved intact, such as the glittering stalactite tops above your head and some stone forests nearby that have retained their original appearance.

After passing through the demon cult's meeting hall, they arrived at the back mountain of Blackwood Cliff.

The fallen plum blossoms in the courtyard are fragrant, and the grass in the pond is green. There are many houses in the back mountain, including pavilions, towers, gardens and rockeries.

Moreover, its exquisiteness is not inferior to the luxurious mansions of some dignitaries in big cities.

Ren Yingying asked the members of the Demon Cult who were guarding here to go and report to their leader Dongfang Bubai that a distinguished guest was visiting.

"Brother Chu, what brings you here?"

The two of them didn't have to wait long before a surprised voice came from not far away.

I saw a "woman" in red, with a peerless appearance, graceful figure, exquisite curves and extremely charming, flying over like a gust of wind from not far away.

"Brother Dongfang, you are really becoming more and more like a woman!"

Chu Yuan looked Dongfang Bubai up and down.

If Chu Yuan had not spent some time with Dongfang Bubai, he would really have thought of her as a woman.

Even Dongfang Bubai's voice at this time was as sweet as a silver bell, but with some heroic feminine voice.

What surprised Ren Yingying was that if other members of the Demon Cult said this, Dongfang Bubai would definitely be furious.

Several believers have been punished for this matter before.

But when Chu Yuan said this, there was no trace of anger on Dongfang Bubai's face.

"what!"

After Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Yuan for a moment, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and the more he looked at Chu Yuan, the more strange his eyes looked.

Because he clearly sensed that Chu Yuan had the same sunflower qi in his body, but Chu Yuan was full of masculinity and did not look like someone who had castrated himself.

"Brother Chu, have you also practiced the Sunflower Manual?"

Dongfang Bubai asked Chu Yuan.

But after asking, Dongfang Bubai slapped his forehead again:
"Look at my memory. The first time you came to my place, I asked you all kinds of questions. I asked the church members to prepare some food and wine, and we drank and talked."

Dongfang Bubai ordered the two followers standing nearby to prepare wine and food.

Then Dongfang Bubai brought Chu Yuan to his residence.

In a very quiet attic!
Chu Yuan saw that the various furnishings in the attic were very brightly colored, even the curtains were mainly red, and there were also various potted flowers.

If you don't look carefully, you might think it's a woman's room.

Ren Yingying also looked at Dongfang Bubai's room with some curiosity, because Dongfang Bubai never let anyone get close to the attic where he lived before, so even Ren Yingying was coming in here for the first time.

After the cult members served the wine and food, Chen Yuan did not hesitate to sit down as if he were at home.

Seeing that Ren Yingying was still standing there, Chu Yuan shouted, "Miss Ren, please sit down too!"

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Ren Yingying, nodded and said, "Yingying, you sit down too."

"Okay, Uncle Dongfang."

Only after hearing Dongfang Bubai asking her to sit down did Ren Yingying sit down and pick up the wine jug to pour wine for Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai.

"Brother Chu, can you tell me now what is going on with you?"

Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Yuan.

"It's nothing, actually. I just found another way to temporarily store the extreme yang internal energy generated by practicing the Sunflower Manual in other people's bodies. When the extreme yang internal energy is accumulated enough, I will break through the realm of "Yang produces Yin" in one fell swoop and directly practice the Sunflower Manual, bypassing the defect that practicing the Sunflower Manual requires castration."

Chu Yuan told Dongfang Bubai.

"I see. I didn't expect it to be this way..."

Dongfang Bubai's eyes were particularly bright.

Chu Yuan's words seemed to open the door to a new world for him.

"It's a pity that this method was discovered a little late. Otherwise, Brother Dongfang could also practice this way. However, as my understanding of the Sunflower Manual deepens in the future, it may not be impossible for me to comprehend the method of regenerating severed limbs..."

Chu Yuan said with some regret.

"Regeneration of broken limbs... Never mind, Brother Chu, I think I'm fine the way I am now."

Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly and shook his head.

"But I think Brother Chu is truly a genius. He was able to master the Sunflower Manual in such an unconventional way."

The undefeated path of the East.

Chu Yuan: ...

Ok!

He was originally worried that if Dongfang Bubai knew that he had mastered the "Nine Yin Scriptures" in such an unconventional way, his faith in Taoism would collapse.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

Dongfang Bubai just likes to be Dongfang's sister.

"You came to Blackwood Cliff with Yingying this time. When did you meet? The age difference between you two is not too big. If you two are in love with each other, it would be a good match!"

Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying and said with a smile in his eyes.

Chu Yuan knew that Dongfang Bubai had misunderstood, so he told him the purpose of coming to Blackwood Cliff:
"Miss Ren and I met when we went to Hengshan City to attend the Jinpen Washing Hands Conference. Miss Ren said she wanted to arrange a marriage for me and introduce her sisters to me. I felt that this was not right. There was no such good thing in the world."

"After some indirect questioning, I finally got the truth from her."

"It turns out that she found out that her father, Ren Woxing, was imprisoned by you, Brother Dongfang. She wanted to rescue her father, but she was afraid that our friendship would make me stand on your side, so she wanted to win me over."

As Chu Yuan spoke, the smile on Dongfang Bubai's face gradually disappeared. His eyes turned cold as he looked at Ren Yingying, who was sitting at the table with her head down and silent.

"Yingying, I raised you from childhood, taught you martial arts, and made you the Saint of the Demon Cult. Isn't that good enough for you?"

After a long time, Dongfang Bubai's voice sounded in the attic. His voice was icy and piercing. He said to Ren Yingying.

"Uncle Dongfang is very good to Yingying, but he is not Yingying's biological father after all, and Yingying's father was also imprisoned by Uncle Dongfang."

Ren Yingying looked up at Dongfang Bubai with a stubborn look in her eyes.

"So what does Brother Chu mean by bringing Yingying to Blackwood Cliff?"

Dongfang Bubai looked towards Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan saw a gradually cold and despairing emotion in the depths of Dongfang Bubai's eyes.

"Don't worry, Brother Dongfang. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would disregard friendship for the sake of beauty?"

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's expression, Chu Yuan knew that Dongfang Bubai had misunderstood.

"What does Brother Chu mean?"

Dongfang Bubai was puzzled.

"I think it's not right for you, Brother Dongfang, to keep Ren Woxing locked up all the time. It's understandable that Miss Ren wants to save her father, but once you rescue Ren Woxing, given his personality, there will definitely be a fight between you two."

"And he is definitely not your opponent right now. If he attacks you, you will definitely die."

"So I thought of taking Ren Woxing to Mount Qingcheng to become a Taoist priest. This would not only help you solve your problem, but also help Miss Ren save her father. It's the best of both worlds!"

"But this matter concerns Brother Dongfang, so I came to ask Brother Dongfang for your opinion."

Chu Yuan said to Dongfang Bubai.

"Take Ren Woxing to Qingcheng Mountain to be a Taoist priest?"

Dongfang Bubai asked.

"Yes, in the form of a duel."

Chu Yuan told Dongfang Bubai his thoughts.

After hearing this, Dongfang Bubai felt extremely ashamed.

He actually suspected that Chu Yuan was moved by the beauty of his niece and stood against him, ready to attack him.

"This matter is beneficial to me, so I naturally have no objection."

Dongfang Bubai continued.

"Okay, then I'll take that as your agreement."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"Brother Chu, if you like beauties, you don't have to marry. I had a few concubines in the past that I favored. But since I'm in this state now, there's no point in them following me. I might as well give them to you."

After drinking a glass of wine with Chu Yuan, Dongfang Bubai suddenly said to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was stunned at first, and then his expression became somewhat unbelievable.

Dongfang Bubai actually wanted to give his woman to him!
In the previous life, this kind of thing would have seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

But when he thought that this was ancient times, he felt it was normal!

But he has no hobby of taking away other people's preferences.

"Brother Dongfang, I appreciate your kindness, but unfortunately I don't take away what others like."

Chu Yuan refused.

Ren Yingying, who was standing next to them, also looked at the two of them with some disbelief. Women could give gifts to each other. She had a completely new understanding of the friendship between Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai.
