Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 283 is getting started!
For a moment, the quiet room was no longer as peaceful as before.

The eyes of a Taoist and a Buddhist nun met in the air. The atmosphere was tense. The two sides were like water and fire, and neither of them bowed their heads and gave in.

The reason why Chu Yuan refused to give in was because the He Shi Bi was very important to him and he had to get it.

The reason why Fan Qinghui did not give in was that she did not know where Chu Yuan got the news that the He Shi Bi was in Cihang Jingzhai.

The Heshi Bi not only represents the reputation of Cihang Jingzhai in the world, but is also a sacred object that will help Cihang Jingzhai select a wise king for the people of the world in the future. The Heshi Bi is also very important to Cihang Jingzhai.

No matter what, she could not give the He Shi Bi to anyone else.

Fu Jun'er and Fu Junyu, who were standing behind Chu Yuan, didn't know if it was an illusion, but in a trance, they actually saw a Taoist priest with an extremely tall figure, like a god, confronting countless divine swords in the air.

next moment……

The dividing line between Chu Yuan and Fan Qinghui was the middle of the two people. The stone slabs on the ground actually began to develop spider-web-like cracks at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly spread to the surroundings.

Soon the cracks on the stone slab spread to the feet of Chu Yuan and Fan Qinghui.

A hint of surprise flashed across the beautiful eyes of both of them. Although they did not see the two of them fighting, the cracks on the ground did appear.

Roar!
Groan!
At this moment, a dragon roar and a tiger howl, faintly accompanied by the light of a sword, appeared in the quiet room.

puff!
Fan Qinghui spat out a mouthful of blood, and the entire quiet room trembled a few times. The dust on the beams fell off, and the cracks on the ground stopped abruptly.

"Master Qingyang's martial arts skills are so powerful that his reputation is well-deserved."

Fan Qinghui looked listless and pale.

Just now, she and Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan had a secret contest, and she ended up being at a disadvantage and even slightly injured, while Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan was unharmed.

"Although Sect Leader Fan is not well-known in the martial arts world, his martial arts skills are extraordinary."

Chu Yuan also said.

The secret test just now gave him a certain understanding of Fan Qinghui's martial arts.

Fan Qinghui's martial arts may be somewhat inferior to that of "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan, but the gap is not that big.

Chu Yuan had just used his primordial spirit to perform the "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Swords", and had gained the upper hand in the secret contest just now.

"The Heshi Bi Cihang Jingzhai can be given to the head of Qingyang Sect."

After a moment's silence, Fan Qinghui softened his attitude.

Although she and Cihang Jingzhai were unwilling to hand over the rare treasure Heshi Bi, the situation was stronger than the person. In the secret contest with Taoist Qingyang just now, she was at a disadvantage. Even if she and Cihang Jingzhai were unwilling, they had to hand it over.

Although Cihang Jingzhai has friendships with the white forces including Jingnian Zen Temple, as well as many masters, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

"What about the conditions?"

Chu Yuan asked.

He knew that since Cihang Jingzhai was willing to hand over the Heshi Bi so readily, there must be conditions.

After all, Cihang Jingzhai is one of the leaders of the white forces. In addition to the leader Fan Qinghui, there may be other masters in the sect.

"Master Qingyang is really a man of few words. The condition is that this Heshi Bi is lent to Master Qingyang by my Cihang Jingzhai. Master Qingyang is lending me an item, and in the future, when the successor of my Cihang Jingzhai comes to you, you need to help me complete three tasks."

The head of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui, changed his tone.

Chu Yuan's mind moved. If this happened, he would be able to use the Heshi Bi in disguised form.

In the original plot, Ning Daoqi, a Taoist master known as "Sanren" and one of the three great masters in the world, had to be used by Cihang Jingzhai because he had borrowed the "Cihang Sword Canon" from Cihang Jingzhai, and took action to stop Kou Zhong and Li Shimin from fighting for the world.

Chu Yuan suddenly remembered that Cihang Jingzhai had used the "Cihang Sword Canon" in exchange for the "Eternal Life Secret" in his hand.

"Will Cihang Jingzhai not give the Secret of Immortality to Ning Daoqi to read? If so, Cihang Jingzhai really knows how to take advantage of the situation. Almost all the masters in the Central Plains martial arts world owe Cihang Jingzhai a favor. In the future, at critical moments, they will be like Ning Daoqi and be used by Cihang Jingzhai."

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

"Okay, but these three things must be approved by me, and they must be approved by me and in line with my sense of right and wrong."

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Chu Yuan slowly opened his mouth and agreed.

The Heshi Bi is his must-obtain goal on this trip. As long as the conditions of Fan Qinghui and Cihang Jingzhai are not excessive, he can choose to agree.

"It's a word."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qinghui agreed.

Taoist Chu Yuan of Qingyang will have unlimited achievements in the future. In a sense, Taoist Chu Yuan of Qingyang's promise to help Cihang Jingzhai accomplish three things may be more valuable than the Heshi Bi itself.

Apart from its own bizarre legend and some of its supernatural powers, the He Shi Bi is actually not of much use.

"I will have Feixuan personally deliver the Heshi Bi to Master Qingyang later. Master Qingyang, please wait a moment."

Fan Qinghui continued.

"Don't be in a hurry. The reason I came here suddenly this time, besides the Heshi Bi, is also to pay a visit to Cihang Jingzhai, the leader of the White Path."

Chu Yuan responded.

Since the purpose of this trip has been achieved, it doesn’t matter whether the "He Shi Bi" is obtained earlier or later.

"I never thought that the head of Qingyang Sect, in addition to the 'Eternal Life Secret' and the lightning-driving palm technique, is also proficient in swordsmanship."

Fan Qinghui had a complicated expression.

As the head of Cihang Jingzhai, she had practiced the "Cihang Sword Canon" with great success. She could see that the martial arts Chu Yuan had just displayed was obviously a powerful and peerless sword technique.

"This sword technique is called 'Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword'. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Cihang Jingzhai. If I hadn't read Cihang Jingzhai's 'Cihang Sword Canon' before, I might not have been able to perfect this 'Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword'."

Chu Yuan said with a very grateful look.

Fan Qinghui: ...

Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?
From this point of view, the one who benefited the most from the exchange of "Cihang Sword Canon" for "The Secret of Immortality" in Chu Yuan's hand was actually the Taoist Qingyang, not Cihang Jingzhai.

Soon, Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan, who had taken Shi Qingxuan to her mother Bi Xiuxin's old residence for a tour, returned.

When the two of them saw the messy quiet room, they looked at Chu Yuan and Fan Qinghui with curiosity.

Just now, when Fan Qinghui was talking to Chu Yuan, she had wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, but her face was still a little pale.

But this was enough for Shi Qingxuan and Shi Feixuan to understand that Taoist Qingyang and the head of Cihang Jingzhai had secretly fought and tested each other just when the two of them left.

The ending was that the leader of Cihang Jingzhai fell into a disadvantage.

"Fei Xuan, go get the rare treasure He Shi Bi that is stored in the sect and give it to Sect Master Qing Yang."

Not long after the two of them came in, Fan Qinghui gave instructions to Shi Feixuan.

"Yes, Master."

Although Shi Feixuan had some doubts in her heart, she still agreed first and turned around to leave.

When she came back again, she was holding a black wooden box that was one foot long and six inches wide.

"Master Qingyang, the He Clan Jade is inside the wooden box."

When Shi Feixuan handed the wooden box to Chu Yuan, she said to Chu Yuan.

"Thanks."

Chu Yuan took the wooden box.

Strangely enough, when Chu Yuanyi took the wooden box containing the Heshi Bi in his hand, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted, and there was no spiritual energy around the wooden box. Although there was no spiritual energy around the wooden box, there was a strange energy that appeared from time to time, and this energy gradually dissipated to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan actually felt a sense of inner peace and a feeling that his meridians were expanding.

This is the unique feature of the He Shi Bi, which can suppress inner demons and expand the meridians.

Based on this alone, Chu Yuan could be sure that the He Shi Bi in the wooden box was real, and not a fake used by Cihang Jingzhai to fool him.

It's just a pity!

According to Chu Yuan's current martial arts, he does not need to suppress his inner demons.

He was born with all his meridians open, and they had been expanded to the limit. The effect of expanding his meridians was of no use to him at all.

"I hope Sect Leader Qingyang will not forget his promise."

Seeing Chu Yuan accept the Heshi Bi, Fan Qinghui gave Chu Yuan some instructions.

"Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

While Chu Yuan was speaking, he opened the wooden box and checked it.

Otherwise, if I were deceived by Cihang Jingzhai using unknown means, it would be a huge joke.

There was a square seal lying inside.

If you look closely, you will find that the seal is missing a corner and is inlaid with gold.

"The He's Jade was found by the First Emperor during his reign and made into the He's Seal. Later, during the reign of Wang Mang, Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan angrily smashed the He's Seal, causing a corner of it to be missing. Later, Wang Mang ordered craftsmen to inlay it with gold. This should be the real He's Jade without a doubt."

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

"Ancient books record that this object is a rare stone from the immortal world, which contains earth-shattering secrets. My Cihang Jingzhai has obtained this treasure for some time, and I found that this Heshi Bi is just a rare stone seal containing special energy. In addition to being a seal used by successive emperors and having the effect of suppressing inner demons and expanding meridians for martial artists, it has no special features. I think it is a rumor, and the effect of this object has been exaggerated."

Seeing Chu Yuan opening the wooden box and checking the authenticity of the He Shi Bi, Fan Qinghui explained to Chu Yuan.

After Chu Yuan confirmed the authenticity of the item, he closed the wooden box again and said, "It is rumored that whoever obtains one of the Heshi Bi and Yang Gong's treasure house can conquer the world. If that is true, then why didn't Yang Su, the owner of Yang Gong's treasure house, and Cihang Jingzhai, who found the Heshi Bi, conquer the world? It shows that rumors are spread everywhere and cannot be taken seriously."

This is just like the slogan "The Supreme in the martial arts world, with his precious sword that slays dragons, commands the world and no one dares to disobey. If the sword does not come out, who can compete with him?" Anyone who really believes this is really stupid.

When Cihang Jingzhai found the Heshi Bi, they probably never thought of conquering the world with it.

Instead, he wanted to use the Heshi Bi as bait to choose a future emperor for the world.

This shows how powerful and influential Cihang Jingzhai is.

Fan Qinghui said: "It's just a rumor, it can't be taken seriously."

After getting the Heshi Bi, Chu Yuan asked to leave.

Fan Qinghui was eager to send Chu Yuan away quickly, so he stood up and personally sent Chu Yuan and his four companions down the mountain together with his disciple Shi Feixuan.

"Master, didn't you say that the Heshi Bi was a key move for our Cihang Jingzhai to intervene in the world's affairs and select a future wise ruler for the people of the world? Why did you agree to give the Heshi Bi to the head of Qingyang Sect?"

Watching the four people going down the mountain and their backs gradually disappearing on the mountain path, Master Feixuan and his disciple stood at the "Seven-Layered Gate", the entrance to Cihang Jingzhai, and asked their master Fan Qinghui beside them.

"The situation has forced us to change at different times."

Fan Qinghui shook his head.

She could also choose not to hand it over, but the problem was that since the item had been coveted by a master like Taoist Qingcheng, she could no longer keep it.

"Fei Xuan, you must know that life is not only about advancing, but also about retreating. It is easy to break if you are too strong. Proper retreat will allow you or your sect to survive better in the world."

Fan Qinghui then taught Master Feixuan.

"Disciple understands."

Shi Feixuan pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of enlightenment gradually flashed in her eyes.

"What's more, we have received three promises from Taoist Qingyang. Not only have we not lost anything, we have even benefited from this matter, right?"

Fan Qinghui asked his disciples in return.

All this was destined when Taoist Qingyang found the location of Cihang Jingzhai in Zhongnan Mountain.

The reason why Cihang Jingzhai used to establish the impression of a mysterious and powerful hidden sect in the martial arts world was to intimidate all parties and make the masters of various forces dare not have any bad intentions towards Cihang Jingzhai.

But the problem was that when Taoist Qingyang found out that Cihang Jingzhai was located in Zhongnan Mountain and that the Heshi Bi was also in Cihang Jingzhai, and when he knew Cihang Jingzhai so well and possessed powerful martial arts, Cihang Jingzhai was destined to give in.

"That's true."

Shi Feixuan said.

She was not sure whether the Heshi Bi was more important or the three promises made by Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan were more important.

"The Taoist Qingyang has completely gained momentum. I'm afraid the fourth grandmaster of the martial arts world will appear soon."

Thinking of the secret test just now, which ended with him being at a disadvantage, Fan Qinghui sighed.

"What does Master mean?"

Shi Feixuan said in a puzzled tone.

"Chu Yuan, the Taoist priest from Qingyang, is not far from reaching the Grandmaster level." Fan Qinghui said solemnly, "Even..."

"Even what?" Shi Feixuan asked.

"nothing!"

Fan Qinghui shook his head.

She even felt that Taoist Qingyang might already be a master.

But after all, it was just his own speculation. Without real evidence, it was better not to say it out loud. So when the words were about to come out of his mouth, Fan Qinghui took them back.

"Fei Xuan, the disciple of Taoist Qingyang is the second son of Li Yuan, the head of the Li Clan, right?"

Fan Qinghui asked Master Feixuan.

"good."

Master Fei Xuan nodded.

"What do you think of our Cihang Jingzhai also setting up a base for the Li family?"

Fan Qinghui thought for a while and said.

"The Li family is one of the four largest families in the world. They have a deep foundation and the possibility of conquering the world is not small. Now they have the support of Taoist Qingyang and the Shu Alliance behind him. The possibility of conquering the world is even greater. Supporting the Li family is much more likely to conquer the world than supporting other forces."

"But the problem is that Li Shimin is a disciple of Taoist Qingyang. I'm afraid he won't allow other forces to interfere."

Shi Feixuan's analysis.

"Then we will support the eldest son Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan has three sons anyway. Logically, the eldest son is the most likely to inherit the throne. The third son Li Yuanji is also possible. With our support, the probability of him taking the throne is not low either."

Brahma, pure and wise.

"Of course you can. This matter needs to be considered carefully. We need to see which of them is more likely to become a wise king."

Shi Feixuan said.
