Chapter 453: Who Sees the Moon for the First Time by the River

As for the story of Ji Fakai's fall to Su Yutian, the whole story has always been kept secret and shrouded in mystery.

Not to mention that many talented people in Xudu were confused, even the cultivators of Yuchen Sect knew little about this, and had derived countless speculations from it.

After failing to seize the throne with Jun Yao in the past, Ji Fakai went to Daolu Temple on his own and asked for a nominal position. Then he met with Shan Jian Patriarch, had a secret conversation with him, and then decisively went to travel outside the sky, which surprised all his supporters and even several of his true disciples at that time.

This person was born into a famous family in Xudu. He was good at studying various classics. It was said that he had been fascinated by mysterious books since he was young and had an extraordinary wisdom.

Later, he learned "Gaoxu Mi Yao" among the three classics in Xiaoming Daze, and became more proficient in profound discussions. He often won the hearts of the audience in debates, and even attracted monks from several surrounding continents to come from afar just to witness Ji Fake's profound theories.

Such a person, even if he cannot defeat Jun Yao, is definitely not an ordinary person.

When I am freed from my bondage one day, I will surely soar into the sky!
In fact, after going to Yuwai, Ji Fakui did stir up quite a stir.

Not only did he defeat several Taoists from major sects and subdue some notorious gods and monsters, he also personally entered the sixteen treasure palaces of the heavens specially set up by the immortal master Tianmenzi, defeated the heroes and took the ancient treasure "Fuyan Pillar".

When this incident happened, it really attracted the attention of many powerful people at that time.

Even the Zhengxu Daoting Office received rewards, and several princes came out in person to congratulate and to make peace with Ji Fakai.

At that time, Yu Chen couldn't help but get a little agitated after hearing the news.

Until Jun Yao was on a voyage to outer space, he used the "Thunders of the Country" method to activate the Taiyi Divine Thunder, and killed the Taoist of the Original Demon Sect and several members of the Heavenly Demon royal family head-on. Only then did all the discussions cease and there was no more disturbance.

It was able to make Jun Yao take action deliberately at that time.

From this we can see how influential Ji Fakai was!
However, after leaving the treasure palaces of the sixteen heavens, he was suddenly lost in the Chongyu Heaven and there has been no news of him for a long time.

It was not until the news of Jun Yao's passing away spread that Ji Fakui escaped from Chongyutian and returned to Xiaoming Lake.

As for why this person was trapped in Chongyutian, there is a rumor that is most widely circulated.

It is said that Ji Fakai had offended Crown Prince Chongyu due to an incident in ancient times, and he refused to surrender, so he was captured by many demon generals. Even the Ji family members and Yuchen Taoist generals around him were killed.

But as to what this so-called ancient creation is, there is no definite number so far.

Of course, Chen Heng was somewhat skeptical and found it difficult to agree with this.

At this moment, the talisman in the room jumped forward on its own initiative, and with a long and clear sound, tiny pieces of water light burst out from it.

At first it was just a trickle, but eventually it gradually merged into a stream, splashing with the sound of water, slowly surrounding the entire water pavilion.

"The legendary creation is not from the ancient times, but a relic."

After making these arrangements, Yan Qianzhi's voice sounded solemnly:
“As for why Master Ji Fakai was trapped in Chongyutian, it was not because he offended the Crown Prince Chongyu.

He, Xu Longzhu, Master Lingci... these great men of the time all voluntarily went to the Suyu Heaven to fight for the ownership of the relic, and then they were misled by the wisdom of the relic, and were imprisoned or even killed. "

Relics?

This was the first time Chen Heng had heard Yan Qianzhi's words. As he pondered over it, his expression became solemn.

Regarding the matter of Ji Fakui's imprisonment, he also consulted his own teacher Tongxuan.

Tongxuan usually answered all the questions asked by Chen Heng and explained them in detail.

But on this matter, Tongxuan shook his head and did not answer.

He only said that the time had not come yet. If Chen Heng could cultivate to the Return to Void Realm in the future, he might go and watch the fun, but there was no need for him to personally join in.

Now under Chen Heng's inquiring gaze, Yan Qianzhi did not keep anyone in suspense and told him everything he knew clearly, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Not long after he finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

"The ancient Buddha who founded the Longzunwang Temple passed away in the Suyu Heaven. What realm did the Suyu Demon God who forced him to die reach?
This demon god is worthy of being the instigator of the ancient catastrophe. His cultivation is beyond comprehension."

After a moment's silence, Chen Heng sighed, breaking the silence.

According to what Yan Qianzhi said just now, the relics left in Suiyu Heaven came from the Dragon King Buddha who founded the Dragon King Temple.

After the Dragon King Buddha was forced into extinction, several large Zen temples in the Infinite Light Heaven became angry and dispatched troops to attack. The demon god Suiyu also called on his friends and invited several giants of the demon path.

The two sides fought for more than a thousand years, and it was hard to tell who would win. In the end, Tai Su had no choice but to step in. It was unknown what kind of agreement the two sides reached, but they finally signed the contract.

The deed clearly states:

Although the relic of Dragon King Buddha will be left in Chongyutian, anyone who has the ability, whether in the world of the living or the underworld, can enter to comprehend it. Chongyutian is not allowed to obstruct it, let alone take the relic for himself, otherwise even Taisu Zhangren will come to attack him.

At the same time, the demon god Suyu had to return the forty-two copies of "The Wisdom of Meditation, Liberation, Samadhi and Samadhi" that he had stolen in his early years to the Longzunwang Temple, and give up the "Heart Sutra of Knowing All Past Destiny and Desires" that he created as compensation.

Although I don’t know what other interests are exchanged in secret, this is what happens on the surface.

However, it was also because of that agreement that great celestial talents such as Ji Fakui, Xu Longzhu and Zen Master Lingci rushed to Chongyu Heaven, hoping to comprehend the subtlety of the relics, draw inferences from other instances, and improve their merits and deeds.

Afterwards, they were all bewitched by the power of the five aggregates. Not only did they fail to gain any benefits, but they were trapped in the relics and found it difficult to escape.

This is the whole story of how Ji Fakai and a group of talented people fell into Chongyutian.

As for the rumor that Ji Fakai suffered misfortune because of his feud with Prince Chongyu, this is actually a false rumor and cannot be taken seriously.

"The relics are the result of the life-long merits of the great monks. They are the result of the cultivation of precepts, concentration, and wisdom. They are not ordinary things. Moreover, the relics are from the Dragon King Buddha. They are perfect and include emptiness and color..."

Seeing Chen Heng mention the evil spirit, Yan Qianzhi also felt something and sighed:
“Even the relics left by the Dragon King Buddha can leave a group of high-ranking scholars helpless. If they fail to comprehend the truth, they will be retaliated in no time. The evil spirit is naturally even more terrifying!
Fortunately, this person seems to have fallen into a trap and has not appeared in the world for a long time. Now the master of Chongyutian is the three ladies in charge of music and the prince of Chongyu...

Otherwise, if this person shows up again, he will bring his evil demons to bring disaster to the world, and the Yang world will be in big trouble again."

Chen Heng nodded slightly, but his thoughts turned to another matter.

Since Ji Fake was trapped in the Suyu Heaven because he tried to comprehend the mystery of the relics on his own, then all this makes sense.

It should be understood that the true teachings of every major sect will become the pillars of the sect in the future.

With Ji Fachi's ability, if he had not met Jun Yao, he could easily have obtained the position of the Taoist disciple of a major sect.

For a person like this, even if he was born into a noble family and was unpopular, there was no reason for the three founders of the sect to sit idly by and watch him wander outside.

If it was really the case that Prince Chongyu was bullying the weak, I'm afraid Yu Chen's cosmic punishment would have already been against him.

Only in this way can the reason be explained clearly.

Just as Chen Heng was pondering, Yan Qianzhi's voice came again, adding:
"Master Chen, although those were the words spoken by my third brother just now, he was already unconscious at that time. What exactly are the magical uses of the ancient Buddha's relics, and how to start to comprehend them, my third brother did not explain it very clearly..."

Having said this, Yan Qianzhi was silent for a moment, and his tone became somewhat inexplicable:

“To be honest, the ancient Buddha’s relic caused such a big commotion back then, and our families and I naturally knew about it, but the seniors above were unwilling to tell us clearly, which must have been a big danger.

I hope Master Chen will just treat these words as a joke and not take them too seriously."

At this point, Yan Qianzhi didn't know whether his third brother's special words before his death were meant to clear up his confusion or had some other intention.

But the person is gone, and it is useless to explore these things any further.

In the end, his third brother still kept one thing secret and did not reveal what kind of fortune the relic contained.

It actually aroused the jealousy of the heroes in the world, and they rushed forward one after another like moths to a flame...

Chen Heng heard the unfinished meaning in Yan Qianzhi's words, and he cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yan's intention is just to let me know a little about Master Ji's life. I am now at a low level and know the pros and cons. I am not arrogant enough to travel to the demonic kingdom of Chongyutian."

Yan Qianzhi felt a little relieved when he heard this.

After praising him for a while, he actually said with real emotion:
“The five directions of heaven and earth are infinite… and from ancient times to the present, there is no telling how many great secrets are buried in this universe. Unfortunately, if one does not have the ability to practice Taoism, even hearing about them would be a disaster.

Everyone knows that after achieving immortality, there is another realm where one can be the leader of all things and occupy the most spiritual position. However, for fear that later generations of disciples would know it too early and have knowledge barriers, even Taoist books do not describe it in detail.

Brother Chen is Yuchen's senior disciple. Maybe he will be able to see the highest realm in the future. As for me, it's difficult!"

"Brother Yan, you are too kind."

Chen Heng shook his head.

Although Yan Qianzhi's words did not bring any practical benefits, they did allow Chen Heng to hear some secrets and gain a deeper understanding of Ji Fakui.

Then, as Yan Qianzhi wanted to make friends, the two of them talked about the scenery and the landscape, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.

"In this case, I would rather not delay Brother Chen's serious work... If you are willing to take the time to come to Yuanzai in the future, I, the Yan family, will treat you with sincerity!"

At this time, after Chen Heng politely declined to go to Taichang Longting to watch the fun, Yan Qianzhi felt a little regretful, but still laughed and said.

As the two said goodbye to each other, the talisman in the air suddenly shook, then disappeared into the depths of the dense clouds, without a trace.

"Ji, Ji Fakai... According to Yan Qianzhi, since the ancient Buddha's relics fell into the Suyu Heaven, countless people have dared to go there to seek enlightenment.

But the only person who managed to escape unscathed in the past few thousand years was Ji Fakai."

When Chen Heng saw that the talisman had completely disappeared, a thoughtful look flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but ponder.

If he wants to be the Taoist disciple of Yuchen and rule the East Continent in the future, the Danyuan Conference is not the only obstacle ahead of him.

After achieving the realm of Yuanshen, it was inevitable that he would have to fight with old disciples such as Ji Fakai, Zhang Taichu, and Zhang Shou, so as to win the hearts of the people in the sect with a grand show.

A person who has achieved the highest Dharma state of "The Later Sage's Glory" and can compete with Jun Yao is naturally powerful, needless to say.

I don't know whether this man gained any benefit from the ancient Buddha's relics during the years that Ji Faka was trapped in the Suiyu Heaven.

The road ahead is long and full of thorns, not a smooth one, so we must not relax...

Chen Heng seemed to realize something at this time.

He suddenly looked up from the courtyard and saw a gorgeous cloud boat breaking through the strong wind and quietly circling to the back mountain.

Before they landed, several monks from the Mao Cang Sect went to greet them, followed closely by tall mountain-guarding warriors, who carried the large amber boxes on their shoulders into the boat one by one.

After all the large boxes were unloaded, the few Maocang monks did not stay any longer. They bowed to everyone in the boat and then led the strong men out.

This group of people seemed very familiar with this series of actions, and it seemed that this was not their first time.

Chen Heng called several maids who were waiting outside the courtyard, and after asking them, he learned that the owner of the cloud boat was the old steward under Li Xuanying, the legitimate son of Xuan Ji Tianzun.

The current Xuan Ji Tianzun is named Li Qi. In his early years, he had a marriage with Huo Zang Palace of Xuan Ji Tianda Sect. Li Xuanying is the offspring of Li Qi and Madam Tao of Huo Zang Palace, and is destined to be the next Xuan Ji Tianzun in the future.

However, the good times did not last long. After Madam Tao died in the Chunyang disaster, Li Qi quickly remarried and established a relationship with another powerful clan.

As a result, Li Xuanying's status was different from before. Especially under the circumstances that Li Qi suppressed Huo Zang Gongyin, all kinds of treatments also plummeted.

Yan Qianzhi's family had a close relationship with Mrs. Tao.

After Madam Tao's death, seeing that Li Xuanying was not favored by Li Qi and was too young to support, Yan even considered bringing Li Xuanying to Yuan Zaitian to raise him.

However, Li Qi refused to give in to protect his own face. In addition, Li Xuanying was a hot-tempered person who was used to wandering outside the world and was unwilling to live under someone else's roof. Therefore, the matter was finally dropped.

However, in order to take care of the orphans of their old friend, Yan Qianzhi and his clan kept it a secret from Li Xuanying and made arrangements with several old stewards around him.

Every few years, those managers would come to the Maocang Sect to take away some treasures and medicines to facilitate Li Xuanying's practice of Taoism.

Today was the date that Li Xuanying's steward had agreed with Yan. Although they went to the back mountain, Chen Heng happened to run into them.

"Xuan Jitian, Li Xuanying..."

Chen Heng's eyes moved.

He counted on his fingers and memorized the name, then he didn't care about it anymore and turned back to the couch to meditate.

The next day.

At the main peak of Maocang Mountain, there were crowds of people under the green clouds, a dark mass. Looking down, there were probably no less than a thousand of them.

Until the Dayan solar chariot, surrounded by the armored soldiers, gradually went away and could not be seen. Only then did the crowd disperse and go home.

Not to mention how upset Xiping Dijun and Xin Chun were.

In a hut on the mountainside, Yan Yuan was talking with Yan Qianzhi across the air, discussing some practical matters.

"You don't need to worry too much about this so-called Earth Lord. He is just a clown. He thinks he has attached himself to the Mori Cult and can become a real king. In fact, he is just a vanguard, coming to test my strength on behalf of Shao Xuan of the Mori Cult."

Seeing Yan Yuan talking about Xiping Dijun's attempt to bring his daughter to the banquet, Yan Qianzhi sneered and said:

"I will definitely teach Shao Xuan a lesson once I recover from my injury. He only plays dirty tricks behind my back and is still as unpresentable as ever."

Yan Yuan nodded slightly, and then when he heard Yan Qianzhi say that Chen Heng refused to go to the Taichang Dragon Court to watch the fun, his old eyes opened, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly perked up and asked:

"Longting has been fighting with Fawang Temple and Yiluo Palace for these years, but they have not really fought to the death. They have all been restraining themselves. But now Taichang Tianzhen is going to cause chaos?"

Yan Qianzhi sighed and said:
"Longting has already openly offered a bounty, clearly marking the price of the heads of the monks from Yiluo Palace and Fawang Temple. There has never been such a big show before. Since Longting did it on the first day, can't the other two do it on the fifteenth? They all followed suit and began to offer a bounty on the heads of Longting monks.

You know, it is the most difficult to cut flesh with a soft knife. Long Ting has been cut for so many years. Although I don’t know what happened, it is reasonable that he can’t bear it this time. "

Yan Yuan pondered for a while and remained silent for a long time.

Yan Qianzhi continued:

“Whether helping the Dragon Court, the Dharma King Temple, or the Yiluo Palace, you can gain a lot of benefits, and you can also train your soldiers. I have already made an appointment with several friends to join in the fun.

Yesterday I wanted to call Master Chen to make friends with him, but he was busy, which was a pity."

Yan Yuan said in a deep voice: "What if a fight really breaks out?"

"We are just joining in the fun on the periphery. The clan will also send a few elders to accompany us, so it won't be a problem."

After Yan Qianzhi said this with a smile, his tone suddenly became more serious:
“But if a fight really breaks out, Elder Yuan should be more cautious. No one knows whether Taichangtian’s actions will involve other great heavens.

You must know that the Fawang Temple and Zhenwu Mountain have had a good relationship since their ancestors... If these families really get into a fight, even Zhenwu Mountain will have to send troops, and that will be a big scene!"

Yan Yuan had an inexplicable expression on his face, as if he was about to try, but also seemed to be still afraid.

In the end, he just nodded, put away his expression, and made his statement.

……

……

the other side.

Birds fly across the blue sky, evening clouds hang idle.

Standing on the golden chariot, I saw the sun setting in the sky and the crescent moon as slender as an eyebrow, just tracing a line.

The moonlight shining on the thousands of miles of evening mountains was as soft as a mist, which seemed to be blown swaying and moving sideways by a sudden strong wind, and then merged with the mist on the Tongtuo River to form a whole mountain and field.

At this time, Chen Heng and his group had crossed the Xiaohai Sea and returned to the head of Gelu. Under their feet was the Tongtuo River that ran across Luzhou from east to west.

During the banquet, Chen Heng briefly mentioned Taichang Longting, which immediately aroused the interest of everyone.

Not only was Yuan Yangsheng very excited, he also wanted to go to Taichangtian to watch the excitement after Yuan Zai finished his business.

Even Xue Jing was somewhat interested and took the initiative to talk about some old stories about the grievances between Taichang Longting and Fawang Temple.

"I'm afraid I don't have time to split myself."

Seeing Yuan Yangsheng looking at him excitedly, Chen Heng thought for a moment and then suppressed his thoughts.

Not to mention that the grudges among the Taichangtian families are quite complicated, and getting involved rashly may be disadvantageous, and the Danyuan Conference will be held in about sixty years.

Only this period of time.

Even if everything went smoothly, and he obtained the White Water of the Dead and the refining method from Xuhuangtian as he wished, it was still unknown whether he could cultivate the True Water of the Netherworld and the Taiyi Divine Thunder.

Chen Heng used divination several times to predict the results of Xu Huangtian's trip.

Although he was far from accurately calculating what the future would hold, according to the records in the "Zhouyuan Secret Book of Turtle Divination", he saw that the signs on the tortoise shell were weak and unclear.

I think Xu Huangtian and his group still have something to say.

It is not an easy task to obtain the precious scriptures just by paying a visit.

Seeing Chen Heng shaking his head, Yuan Yangsheng felt quite regretful.

As he expected, with Chen Heng's move "Big Dipper's Death" and his divine eye ability "Ten Directions Pure Eyes".

Looking at the vast Yang World, I am afraid that no one in the same realm can take this blow calmly!
In the past, when they were in Fu Yu Bo, the two of them cooperated with each other tacitly using their divine eyes and supernatural powers.

However, he was a rookie, but he defeated and killed a foundation-building cultivator who was one level higher than them.

Now that his Taoism is stronger, the results of his battles may be even greater.

When Yuan Yangsheng brought up Xu Zhi again, Chen Heng felt something in his heart. He suddenly frowned and looked out coldly.

The next moment, a bright sword light flew up into the sky from afar, as bright as frost and snow, and even brighter than the moon.

In a moment, he cut through the air and headed straight for the golden chariot!

Suddenly there was a loud bang, like a winter thunder shaking the earth, filling the sky with noise!

Although the sword light was firmly blocked by the golden chariot and kept outside the restriction, the noise still made the many divine generals and soldiers who were accompanying the guards furious and frightened.

Following Wei Yuanzhong's loud orders, all the Yuchen Taoist soldiers hurriedly arranged their battle formations, waved their flags, and shouted for killing, filling the air with murderous intent.

The fish monsters that were wandering around in the river looking at the sky were frightened when they saw this, and they shrank into the water and dared not show their heads again.

At this time, the moon had gradually risen to the zenith and was pouring down like water.

Suddenly, the ground was sparkling and as bright as mercury.

In Chen Heng's sight, as the clouds and mist slowly dissipated, a figure gradually became clearer.

In the moonlight, the woman was wearing white clothes and a golden belt, a seven-treasure star crown, and holding a long sword. A small blue bird was flapping its wings in the distance, but it did not come forward.

Today she did not cover her face with a veil as before, and her exposed features were still as gorgeous as ever. Her pupils were as clear and beautiful as clear water, and between her brows was a deep and gorgeous color, like a lotus flower in the sun.

"..."

The moment their eyes met, Chen Heng felt a long-lost trance, as if he had returned to many years ago. He opened the window and could see a large lake with koi swimming in the center. All those memories surged over him like a tide, making everything in front of him hazy as if it was an illusion.

His heart seemed to be empty for a moment.

For a moment, all I could hear was the sound of the wind whistling beneath the clouds, crossing the river and going through the mountains and ridges.

"Junior brother, it's been a long time since we last met."

Wei Lingjiang raised his head.

In her sight, the young Taoist priest who was sitting high in the majestic golden chariot and surrounded by many gods and strong men on both sides was absent-minded.

This made the monks around the Taoist who wanted to take action a little confused. They looked at each other, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

After not seeing him for many years, he is still the same as before.

He wore black clothes and a golden crown, and his appearance was as solemn as that of a god, not like an ordinary person in this mortal world.

However, his demeanor was very different from before. He seemed less cold and harsh, and more graceful, leisurely and calm.

Just like Mount Jade standing at the top of the sky, it is beyond all comparison and cannot be easily seen by others.

"..."

Wei Lingjiang didn't know what he was thinking of, and smiled silently in his heart.

She watched as the coldness in Chen Heng's eyes due to the sudden attack suddenly disappeared after he saw her. The emotions in his eyes were so complex that it was hard to tell what they meant.

Wei Lingjiang lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.

The sky and the earth were vast and boundless.

As far as the eye can see, there is still a solitary moon shining on the flowing water. It has always been this way, as if it has not changed for thousands of years.

"Now, it's your turn to draw your sword."

she says.

There was silence from the other side for a long while, and after a long time, only a sigh was heard.

Then two rainbow-like sword lights shot up into the sky and slashed through the air, roaring like thunder and making a clanging sound!
