Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 280 Meeting the Evil King

Just now, when he was going down the mountain and approaching the pavilion, he didn't notice that there was a person standing in the pavilion.

At this time, he was about twenty or thirty feet away from the pavilion.

Nowadays, there are not many masters in the martial arts world who can be at a distance of about thirty meters and still not notice the opponent.

So in a flash, Chu Yuan's mind flashed through many masters in the Central Plains martial arts world who might appear here.

First, we must rule out the “Queen of Yin” Zhu Yuyan…

Judging from the voice, the other party was a middle-aged man.

Secondly, we can rule out masters or those close to the master level, such as Wu Zun Bi Xuan, Fu Cailin, Ning Daoqi, and Song Que.

Bi Xuan is the general of DTZ. It is impossible for him to come to the Central Plains without any warning or leaking any information.

As for Fu Cailin and Ning Daoqi, they are both older seniors in the martial arts world.

Fu Junyu was right next to him, and had only been in Qingcheng Sect for a few days. If it was Fu Cailin, then Fu Cailin had done a very good job of keeping the secret.

Ning Daoqi is a Taoist. Although the Southern and Northern Taoists are not on good terms with each other, if he wants to visit them, he can just visit them directly instead of waiting in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

As the mainstay of the Song clan in Lingnan, Song Que needs to guard Lingnan and will not leave it easily.

After some analysis, Chu Yuan's mind raced and he had roughly guessed the identity of the person in the pavilion.

"Your Excellency is..."

Chu Yuan remained calm, his figure disappeared from the spot, and the next moment, he appeared in the pavilion.

In the pavilion, there was a middle-aged man wearing green clothes, with a refined temperament and dressed like a scholar, sitting at a stone table in the pavilion.

There was a chessboard on the stone table, and next to the chessboard were two flag boxes, each containing black and white chess pieces.

The middle-aged scholar was not surprised to see Chu Yuan suddenly appear in the pavilion. He smiled and said to Chu Yuan, "The Taoist Qingyang is famous all over the world. His reputation is well-deserved. Could you please give me a favor and play a game with me?"

Chu Yuan looked at the chessboard on the table and saw that it was actually an endgame. The middle-aged scholar was holding a black piece in his hand and had not yet put it down.

"I can play, but unfortunately I am not very good at chess. I am afraid that the "Evil King" will laugh at me."

Chu Yuan took the opportunity to sit opposite the middle-aged scholar.

After Chu Yuan disappeared, the sisters Fu Jun'er and Fu Junyu, who followed Chu Yuan closely and walked into the pavilion, also changed their expressions when they heard Chu Yuan's words.

Judging from the information revealed in Chu Yuan's words, the middle-aged scholar in front of him should be the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan, another great master of the Demon Sect, who is as famous in the martial arts world as the leader of the Yinkui Sect, the "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan.

Since the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan has not appeared in the world for many years, many people have speculated whether the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan has passed away. Now it seems that the "Evil King" is still alive and well, but he has not appeared in the world for a long time.

"How can you be sure that I am 'Shi Zhixuan'?"

The evil king looked at Chu Yuan and said.

Chu Yuan looked at the middle-aged scholar in front of him who was suspected to be the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan: "I really can't think of anyone in the world who can possess such powerful martial arts at this age except the "Evil King"."

The evil king Shi Zhixuan said: "I have been friends with Taoist Qingyang for a long time, but I had my own troubles before and could not meet him in person. I recently found an opportunity to meet Taoist Qingyang. After meeting him, I realized that the rumors in the martial arts world are true. It is true that there are talented people in every generation, and the disciple is better than the master."

The middle-aged scholar had already implicitly admitted in his words that he was the Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

While saying this, the middle-aged scholar looked at Chu Yuan who was sitting in front of him, his eyes full of amazement.

He originally thought that many rumors about the Taoist Qingyang in the martial arts world were just rumors, but now it seems that the rumors in the martial arts world are not groundless.

Especially the martial arts of this young Taoist in front of him, which is simply unfathomable.

Over the years, he has spent a great deal of time and energy integrating the extremely opposite martial arts of the Huajian School and the Butian Dao. He used the profound Buddhist idea of ​​"neither on this shore, nor on the other shore, nor in the middle" as his theoretical basis, and after countless life-and-death battles, he finally created a set of advanced martial arts called "The Immortal Seal".

Before the young Taoist priest appeared in the pavilion just now, the entire environment in the pavilion was affected by the special martial arts force field of "Life and Death" in his "Immortal Seal".

But after the young Taoist appeared in front of him, another natural force of heaven and earth that was no less powerful than his "two energies of life and death" occupied the other half of the space in the pavilion, competing against his "two energies of life and death" and not losing out at all.

After careful consideration, Shi Zhixuan discovered that in addition to the natural power of heaven and earth, the young Taoist also had a force as faint as thunder.

It should be the rumor in the martial arts world, that it is said that this martial art was created by Taoist Qingyang and can drive away thunder and lightning.

In addition, this young Taoist has other martial arts skills that he cannot figure out, but are equally profound and mysterious.

Generally speaking, the martial arts of this Taoist Qingyang were far beyond his imagination.

It seems that the opponent has made rapid progress in the two years since fighting with Zhu Yuyan.

In just two years, the opponent's martial arts may not only catch up with Zhu Yuyan, but may even have a tendency to surpass Zhu Yuyan.

Chu Yuan took out a chess piece from the chess box, looked at the chess game on the chessboard and said, "I have also been friends with the Evil King for a long time."

To be honest, in this world, the person Chu Yuan admires most is the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan.

Although the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan was born into a demon sect and is the leader of the Huajian Sect and the Butian Sect, he is completely different from the Yinkui Sect, the Tianlian Sect, and those demon sects that collude with foreign races.

He had great ambitions and extraordinary powers, and once disguised himself as Pei Ju, an important official of the Sui Dynasty, and sneaked into the Sui Palace.

Shi Zhixuan used this identity to serve as an official and managed the Western Regions for the Sui Dynasty. In a few years, he formed alliances and split the powerful grassland empire of the Turks into two, forming the current East and West Turks, changing the weak situation of the Central Plains since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, Shi Zhixuan is not only a martial arts master, he is also a national hero with great righteousness.

"It seems that the evil king is not here to chat with me, but to test me?"

After looking at the chess game on the board, Chu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

From the perspective of Chu Yuan as a bystander, the chess game on the board in front of him is also a reflection of the general trend of the world!

However, unlike ordinary people who limit their vision to the Central Plains, the chess game laid out in advance by the evil king Shi Zhixuan is more like the entire world.

The black pieces held by the evil king are more like the East and West Turks on the grassland. They have the advantage, strong military force, and are eyeing the Central Plains covetously, wanting to spy on it.

As for the white pieces held by Chu Yuan, the world was in a state of disarray, with everyone fighting and clamping down on each other. The white pieces were surrounded by the black pieces, and the situation did not look optimistic.

"How can I say a test? I came here today just to chat with Master Qingyang. Besides, I am in trouble now, so I have no right to test Master Qingyang."

"Evil King" Shi Zhixuan shook his head.

At the beginning, he did have such an idea, and even thought that once Taoist Qingyang passed the test and gained his recognition, he would pass on his life's work, the "Immortal Seal", to Chu Yuan.

But after seeing Chu Yuan with his own eyes, he had given up this idea.

Because Taoist Qingyang's strength far exceeded his expectations, the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan now regards Chu Yuan as a fellow master of the same level, rather than a younger generation in the martial arts world whom he admires.

"Since the Evil King asked, I will just tell you straight away."

Chu Yuan's face changed, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and fell on the area on the chessboard occupied by the black pieces.

"My idea is to... flip the chessboard."

Chu Yuan threw the white piece in his hand casually, carrying a force, and landed in the center of the chessboard, knocking away a large number of chess pieces and destroying the entire game.

"Overturned the chessboard?"

A hint of confusion flashed across the eyes of the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan.

"In a year, I will go to the grasslands in the north to challenge Wu Zun Bi Xuan. As long as Wu Zun Bi Xuan dies, the Turks will no longer be a problem for the Central Plains."

Chu Yuan stood up and said, "A year later, you will go north to the grassland to challenge Wu Zun Bi Xuan?"

Shi Zhixuan suddenly stood up from the stone bench beside the stone table and looked at Chu Yuan with surprised eyes.

Martial Master Bi Xuan is one of the three great masters in the world, the great general of DTZ, and a recognized master in the martial arts world.

With Chu Yuan's outstanding qualifications, if he is given a few years, he will definitely become the fourth grandmaster in the world.

But Chu Yuan's decision to challenge Martial Master Bi Xuan a year later was a bit too risky!
"good."

Chu Yuan nodded.

Challenging the Grandmaster was a plan he had already made in his mind.
Compared with the Goryeo Grandmaster Fu Cailin, the Turkic Grandmaster Wu Zun Bi Xuan is obviously a greater threat to the Central Plains.

"What a spirit."

Shi Zhixuan praised.

"It's a pity that I have an old illness, otherwise I would really like to go with you."

Chu Yuan's heroic spirit infected the evil king Shi Zhixuan. While Shi Zhixuan admired him, he also felt helpless and lonely.

Chu Yuan's heart moved. He knew that Shi Zhixuan was talking about his own mind which was sometimes crazy and sometimes clear.

His self-created "Immortal Seal" was seen by his wife Bi Xiuxin, which led to her untimely death. He then blamed himself for killing his wife Bi Xiuxin, which led to schizophrenia and split personality.

Sometimes he transforms into a peerless master who kills without blinking an eye, and sometimes he becomes a poet and kind father with a sad heart.

The Shi Zhixuan in front of him should be in the state of a kind father.

Chu Yuan remembered that in the original plot, although the essence in the "Evil Emperor's Relics" was absorbed by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Shi Zhixuan used the "Evil Emperor's Relics" to cure his mental illness.

The thought flashed through Chu Yuan's mind. He and Shi Zhixuan had only just met.

If he obtains the "Evil Emperor's Relics" later on, and the "Evil Emperor's Relics" are of no use to him, he wouldn't mind using it to treat Shi Zhixuan.

"Speaking of which, the relationship between the Evil King and I is not harmonious. Is the Evil King really not here to help others?"

Chu Yuan suddenly changed his tone and looked at the evil king in front of him.

The person he was talking about was naturally "Fat Jia" Anlong, who had offended Chu Yuan before from the Demon Sect.

Ever since "Fat Jia" Anlong fled Shu with the disciples of Tianlian Sect, there has been no news. Chu Yuan guessed that he should be hiding somewhere in the Central Plains.

Although "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan is the backer behind "Fat Jia" Anlong, the problem is that Shi Zhixuan's mental state is not good. This is probably the reason why Shi Zhixuan has never come to him to seek revenge.

"Master Qingyang, are you talking about Anlong?"

Shi Zhixuan laughed.

"of course."

Chu Yuan nodded.

If the fat man had not escaped so quickly that day, he would have died in his hands.

"I came here this time to ask the head of Qingyang Sect for help on An Long's behalf. An Long did not know the strength of the head of Qingyang Sect and Qingcheng Sect before, so he offended the head of Qingyang Sect. I hope the head of Qingyang Sect will not blame me."

The evil king bowed to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan looked at the evil king Shi Zhixuan in front of him. He actually personally pleaded for An Long to him, his junior. It seemed that An Long held a very high position in Shi Zhixuan's heart.

Unfortunately, the evil king had misjudged the person.

The fat man Anlong had long harbored evil intentions towards the Evil King, and had been secretly colluding with Zhu Can and the people of Western Turkestan.

Chu Yuan was too lazy to point this out, otherwise it would seem that he was trying to alienate the two of them.

People may not be able to teach others, but things can teach them once. As long as Anlong betrays Shi Zhixuan once, he will remember the lesson.

Chu Yuan said: "Since the evil king has interceded for An Long, I am not a vengeful person. If the evil king wants me to forgive An Long, that's fine. As long as An Long admits his fault in front of me, the matter will be over."

Chu Yuan did not take An Long seriously. An Long had been scared away by him before, let alone now.

"Then it's a deal."

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, the evil king said happily.

In this way, he had accomplished what Anlong asked him to do.

In fact, at the beginning, Anlong did not ask him to ease the relationship between him and Taoist Qingyang, but cried to him, saying that Anlong represented the face of the evil king in the world, and Taoist Qingyang drove Anlong out of Shu, which hurt the face of the evil king in the world, and he wanted him to kill Taoist Qingyang.

But at that time he was often crazy and mentally ill, and was busy stabilizing his mind, so he had no time to pay attention to what Anlong asked him for.

By the time he had finally stabilized his mental state, the many deeds done by this Taoist Qingyang had already spread throughout the world and became famous.

However, after he learned about what the Taoist Qingyang had done, he actually admired him very much.

Anlong also knew from the rumors in the martial arts world during this period that it was not realistic to ask him to kill Taoist Qingyang, so he asked him to plead with Taoist Qingyang to resolve this feud.

Anlong was his confidant, so this request was not excessive and he naturally agreed to it.

"Oh, right, I came to Shu for another purpose, but I can't go there, so I can only ask Master Qingyang to help me go there."

The evil king suddenly said.

"whats the matter?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"Please ask Master Qingyang to help me take care of someone."

The evil king Shi Zhixuan said.

"Who?"

Chu Yuan wondered.

He had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Someone wants to harm my daughter, Shi Qingxuan, but my mind is sometimes clear and sometimes crazy. I am afraid that I can't take care of her and something will happen that I will regret for the rest of my life."

The evil king Shi Zhixuan said.

"Who wants to harm her?"

Chu Yuan said in surprise.

"My other disciple, the 'Shadow Assassin' Yang Xuyan, was originally my disciple, but now he has ulterior motives. He has colluded with many forces and wants to make me completely lose my mind. It just so happens that Qingxuan is my flaw and weakness."

The evil king's way.

Chu Yuan: ...

The evil king has great ambitions and lofty aspirations, but his judgment of people is not very good!
The group of people around him, whether they were his subordinates or disciples, were all traitors.
