Chapter 204: The Longhu Mountain Incident; Pei Xuanjing's First Meeting with the Old Heavenly Master (5.2K chapter)

Pei Xuanjing did not let anyone follow him, but walked along the Luxi River alone, strolling at the foot of Longhu Mountain.

He walked slowly, feeling this famous mountain in the world with his heart. Longhu Mountain, which has stood for thousands of years, has a unique charm.

Looking back to the past, Zhang Daoling, who claimed to be a descendant of Zhang Liang, traveled to Fanyang Lake and climbed Yunjin Mountain. He claimed to be a god who gave him the Taoism, and refined the Dragon and Tiger Pill to achieve Taoism, so he changed the name of Yunjin Mountain to Longhu Mountain.

Later, Zhang Daoling cut down the mountain and destroyed the temple, destroyed the old qi of the six heavens, established the Zhengyi Dao, and called himself the Heavenly Master. Since then, there has been the Zhengyi Tianshi Dao Longhu Mountain lineage.

The man is gone, but the dragon and tiger are still there.

Although the founder of Longhu Mountain has already ascended to heaven, the Longhu Mountain he left behind has survived thousands of years and still exists in the world, and has been named a holy place for Taoism.

To be specific, his Shenxiao Sect also belongs to the Zhengyi Sect, but later, as the Shenxiao Sect continued to grow, it began to compete with Longhu Mountain for the top position of Zhengyi.

"Although he has ascended to heaven, his reputation has been passed down for thousands of years. I wish I could see the style of the ancestor Tianshi across thousands of years!" Pei Xuanjing said to himself.

Since the news that Pei Xuanjing was going to challenge the old Tianshi of Longhu Mountain spread, countless martial artists have flocked here.

Longhu Mountain, which was originally a holy place for Taoism and was crowded with people, has now increased several times the number of people coming and going, forcing them to dispatch many disciples to the mountain gate to maintain order.

Pei Xuanjing casually glanced and found that the disciples of Longhu Mountain in Taoist robes were strong, full of true energy, and full of blood. Obviously, they were all strong people.

In some small sects, they are enough to be trained as core disciples, but in Longhu Mountain, they can only be regarded as ordinary disciples guarding the mountain gate.

The foundation of the Taoist holy land and the top forces in the world, even if it is revealed inadvertently, is enough to shock many people, which is by no means comparable to ordinary small forces.

However, Longhu Mountain also knows why so many warriors come now. Even with the reputation of Longhu Mountain, it is impossible to isolate all these people and prevent them from climbing the mountain.

The purpose of sending these disciples is just to maintain stability. After all, people in the world are hot-blooded, most of them have bad tempers and upright personalities. It is very common to fight over a disagreement.

So let these disciples stay here to prevent these warriors from fighting because of verbal disputes, so as to prevent unnecessary disturbances.

For them, as long as they are not troublemakers, no matter who they are, even if they are people from the Demon Sect, they don’t care.

Pei Xuanjing followed the crowd, still walking towards Longhu Mountain at a leisurely pace.

However, he was not in a hurry at all, but others were very anxious.

At this moment, on Longhu Mountain, people from all sides came to watch the battle and wanted to see Pei Xuanjing and the old Taoist priest compete, but they looked at each other in bewilderment.

One was Pei Xuanjing, a Taoist priest who was in the limelight in the martial arts world and defeated countless strong men in the past three months. He was considered to be the new generation of the supreme level of martial arts.

The other was the old Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain who had been a powerful figure in the martial arts world for nearly two hundred years. Even though he had never really taken action for decades, he made many people feel very afraid and unfathomable.

No matter the name of any of these two people, it was enough to cause a huge wave in the martial arts world.

Now that these two people were going to fight, how could people not be fascinated and want to witness this amazing battle with their own eyes.

You have to understand that if Pei Xuanjing loses this battle, it will be fine. After all, the opponent is an unfathomable old Tianshi. As long as the loss is not too tragic, it is enough to prove that the opponent has the strength of the supreme level of the world.

However, if Pei Xuanjing wins this time.

That would be really a big deal!

What does this mean? It means that the new generation replaces the old generation. The famous strong men of the old Tianshi generation can no longer suppress the newcomers.

For Longhu Mountain, which has been declining in recent years, it is undoubtedly a heavy blow.

Regardless of how it is in the world, just talking about the Taoist sect, whether Longhu Mountain can once again take charge of the Zhengyi School and continue to be the leader of the Zhengyi School.

You know, the Shenxiao School represented by Pei Xuanjing is a real Zhengyi school with enough legal principles to replace them.

Although they are a little anxious, seeing that no one from Longhu Mountain, the owner of this place, has spoken, then they, the bystanders, can only wait honestly.

For such a major event, Zhenwu Sect, which is also a major Taoist sect, cannot miss it, both for public and private reasons, and naturally has to come to watch the ceremony.

Because the research on the formation has reached an important juncture, and in addition to the original plan, the Taoist Qingxu, as the leader of the sect, cannot come in person, but his junior brother Qingyangzi leads a few people to come.

Fortunately, Qingyangzi has broken through to the first-grade realm not long ago, and is fully qualified to be a spectator of the Zhenwu Sect.

Qingyangzi did not refuse the arrangement of the head teacher brother at all, and went there happily.

Because for him, this moment is a very embarrassing moment.

As the emperor's enlightenment teacher, he later drifted away from the emperor because of the Zhenwu Sect and lost the emperor's trust.

Now that the emperor has been assassinated, he can't return to Tiandu, because if he is not careful, he will fall into the vortex of struggle.

If he were alone, it would be fine, but in the court, he not only represented himself, but also represented the attitude of the Zhenwu Sect, and he could not easily take sides.

Therefore, even though he was sad about the death of the emperor, he did not immediately go to Tiandu.

Qingyangzi looked at the time and whispered to Pang Hong, who had already arrived, "What's the situation with your teacher? Why hasn't he come yet?"

He talked to Pang Hong without any concealment, not caring about other people's eyes at all.

Anyway, Pei Xuanjing's experience in the martial arts academy has long been known to everyone, so it is reasonable for Qingyangzi to know Pang Hong. If he keeps hiding and pretends not to know him, it will make people suspicious.

Hearing Qingyangzi's question, Pang Hong did not hide it: "When we set out, the teacher said that he would go alone and didn't need us to follow him. He said that he would definitely arrive at the agreed time."

"Since the real person said so, he will definitely not miss the time." Yu Zhenzi said confidently on the side.

"Well." Qingyangzi nodded and said no more.

Since Pei Xuanjing said that he would arrive on time, there would be no problem. With his understanding of the other party, he knew that Pei Xuanjing was not a person who would break his promise.

Besides, there was still some time before the agreed time, so there was no need to be too anxious.

Among those present, they were not the only ones who had confidence that Pei Xuanjing would definitely arrive.

Zhao Baiyang, who had changed his appearance, sat in a corner very low-key, not in a hurry at all, as if he was not worried at all that Pei Xuanjing would not come.

Now Zhao Baiyang was looking around the crowd with interest, intentionally or unintentionally, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Just as he had expected, for such an unprecedented duel between strong men, there would definitely be many people who would choose to come out of seclusion, and they would definitely not miss this battle.

Just after a casual look, he found several of his old opponents, who were also hiding in the crowd like him.

Those who could be considered old opponents by a strong man like Zhao Baiyang would naturally not be ordinary people, but must be powerful men who were feared by one side.

Although these people had changed their appearance like Zhao Baiyang, they still could not hide from Zhao Baiyang's vicious eyes.

Time passed slowly. As the agreed time was getting closer and closer, there was still no news of Pei Xuanjing's appearance, which inevitably made some people impatient.

"By the way, this person is not coming, right?"

"Yes, so many people are waiting here, and the airs are too big."

"."

Some people with ulterior motives spoke up.

Regardless of what the people of Longhu Mountain, as the host, thought, Pang Hong's face changed immediately, and a loud voice sounded: "Who are you, so sneaky, why don't you stand up!"

Pang Hong, who respected Pei Xuanjing very much, how could he tolerate these people slandering his teacher like this.

As the saying goes, the teacher has his work, and the disciples serve him.

As Pei Xuanjing's only disciple, in this situation, even if he knew he was no match, he could still stand up and speak, which was enough to prove that the other party was a qualified disciple.

"Where did you come from, kid, you don't have the right to speak here!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Yes, Pei Xuanjing is an unreasonable person, and the disciples he taught are also like this."

Some people sneered.

"Hmph!" Pang Hong's face turned cold.

He didn't care who the person who spoke was or how strong he was. Pang Hong was furious that the other party slandered his teacher so much, so he was about to take action.

"Hmm!" Pang Hong, who was about to take action, suddenly felt someone holding his shoulder. He turned around and looked at Yu Zhenzi with a puzzled look.

Yu Zhenzi smiled indifferently and shook his head, saying, "You can't deal with these people. Let the old Taoist do it!"

Deng Zhong and others on the side also nodded.

Regardless of other things, just relying on Pang Hong's performance just now, they have a great impression of Pang Hong.

You know, since Pei Xuanjing has been arranging Pang Hong to contact Yu Zhenzi and others, and giving Pang Hong some things to do, his attitude has been very obvious.

With the experience of Yu Zhenzi and others, how can they not see that Pei Xuanjing himself does not care too much about these mundane matters, and has the idea of ​​supporting Pang Hong to take over these things.

Pei Xuanjing is using his strength to subdue them. Yu Zhenzi and others will naturally not have any resistance in the face of such an almost invincible strong man.

But if Pang Hong wants to take over, then unless Pang Hong has overwhelming strength, he needs to get the approval of these people to take over these things smoothly.

Of course, as Pei Xuanjing's subordinate, with these people here at this time, there is no need to let Pang Hong take risks.

"Hmph!" Yu Zhenzi took a step forward, his aura burst out, looking around, and said coldly: "If anyone is anxious, it is better to come out and let the poor Taoist accompany you for a few moves, so that all friends will not wait boringly."

Hiss!

When Yu Zhenzi stood up, the scene could not help but be quiet. Many people looked at Yu Zhenzi with fear. They didn't expect that there was such a strong man under Pei Xuanjing.

Sometimes, the strength of a person depends on who is the benchmark for comparison.

In front of a strong man like Pei Xuanjing, Yu Zhenzi's strength may not be worth mentioning and is nothing.

But don't forget that he has been in the arena for so many years as a remnant of Shenxiao, and has been entrusted with important tasks by the master of Shenxiao, which is enough to prove that he is strong.

With his strength, he can be considered a top-notch warrior in the martial arts world. In some states, he is also a powerful warrior who is feared by others.

"Hmm?" Qingyangzi, who was standing by, felt Yu Zhenzi's momentum and his face changed slightly. He didn't expect that this Taoist who always followed Pang Hong and looked like a kind and good old man would have such terrifying strength.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Deng Zhong who was still standing beside Pang Hong. This person might not be simple either!

"I didn't expect that after just a few years of not seeing each other, the gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger." Qingyangzi's heart was a little complicated.

Thinking back to the time when Pei Xuanjing first entered Tiandu and entered the martial arts academy, he only thought that the other party was a junior with good talent.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the other party had grown to a point where he could not even compare with him.

Deng Zhong felt Qingyangzi's gaze, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Then he retracted his gaze and focused on Pang Hong. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, Yu Zhenzi would not fight at all.

However, the performance of this little guy who looked silent on weekdays made them very satisfied and surprised them.

Although the constant contact with Pang Hong made them have a good impression of Pang Hong, this was just superficial work, and there were not many opportunities for Pang Hong to truly prove himself. If he wanted to be recognized by old guys like Yu Zhenzi immediately, he was still a little short of it.

Of course, although Pang Hong's strength was already very good among the younger generation, not to mention other things, just with Pei Xuanjing as a role model, it was impossible for Pang Hong to overwhelm them with his strength, so what he needed was to show his ability and let Yu Zhenzi and others believe and recognize him.

In Deng Zhong's view, Pang Hong's strength was not important. After all, with them around, there were only a few times when the other party really needed to take action.

He needed to show his ability and his bearing, so that he and others could know that the other party was capable of taking over these.

Pei Xuanjing saw this very clearly, but he did not point it out. He just let it go and let Pang Hong struggle on his own.

Unexpectedly, today's accidental encounter made Yu Zhenzi and others recognize Pang Hong a lot more.

"It seems that Brother Pei is quite good at training disciples and subordinates." Seeing this scene, Zhao Baiyang thought to himself.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Zhenzi, please calm down!"

Just as Deng Zhong expected, Longhu Mountain, as the owner of this place, would never let Yu Zhenzi really fight with others here.

After all, if a fight really breaks out, Longhu Mountain will lose face, not to mention other things.

Of course, Yu Zhenzi also knew this. He took advantage of the situation and his aura disappeared without a trace, as if the person who was so aggressive just now was not him.

Before Yu Zhenzi turned back, at this moment, everyone heard a voice like thunder.

"The Changshengzi of the Shenxiao Sect of Zhengyi Dao, come to pay homage to the mountain!"

The loud voice sounded on Longhu Mountain, like a thunder, resounding through the mountains.

Although Pei Xuanjing had not practiced any sound wave technique, he combined his powerful true qi with the true meaning of martial arts, and the sound he made was transmitted for dozens of miles and soared into the sky.

The people who were still discussing just now seemed to have heard a thunder in their ears, and the loud and clear voice fell into their ears.

"It's Pei Xuanjing, he's here!"

"The voice is like thunder, so terrifying!"

"The terrifying voice is like thunder in the ear!"

"."

Although the person has not arrived, the voice is the way.

Pei Xuanjing has not shown up yet, but with just this one move, countless people's faces have changed drastically, and they feel his horror.

The killing Taoist is so terrifying!

Especially the person who spoke with a sinister intention just now, his face was even more pale. Facing such a strong man, if he really wants to investigate, I am afraid no one can protect himself.

"The teacher is here!" Pang Hong smiled and looked meaningfully in one direction, which was exactly where the rude voice came from just now.

"Finally here!" Zhao Baiyang smiled, his eyes sparkling.

Pei Xuanjing's thunderous voice just now startled him secretly, and he found that after not seeing him for a short time, the opponent's strength seemed to be stronger.

This made him look forward to the fight between Pei Xuanjing and the old Taoist priest.

"Hahaha! Taoist friend, I am sorry for not welcoming you, please don't blame me!" The old Taoist priest, who had never appeared, finally spoke after hearing Pei Xuanjing's voice.

His deep voice spread across the mountains, complementing Pei Xuanjing's voice, and they were equally matched.

"The old Taoist priest is out too!"

"The old Taoist priest is on the martial arts field!"

Many masters identified the direction of the voice and immediately figured out the location of the old Taoist priest.

There are many palaces and halls on Longhu Mountain, but the most suitable place for competition is naturally the martial arts field of Longhu Mountain.

Nowadays, martial arts are flourishing, even Longhu Mountain, the holy land of Taoism, must have a place for disciples to practice martial arts on weekdays.

While waiting for everyone to arrive, I found that there were already two people standing opposite each other in the martial arts arena. They were Pei Xuanjing and the old Taoist priest.

The young man was wearing a dark brown robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He had a handsome and elegant face, and his robe fluttered in the wind.

The old man with white hair and beard, wearing a Taoist robe, was energetic and radiant. He did not look old at all. Except for the white hair, he was not much different from the young man.

The two of them ignored all the people who came to the martial arts arena. At this moment, they only had eyes for each other, and they both felt an unfathomable aura from each other.

"I am Pei Xuanjing, a junior student, and I have long admired the name of the Heavenly Master. Today I dare to climb the mountain, and I hope the Heavenly Master will teach me." Pei Xuanjing clasped his fists and bowed.

Even if he was just standing here, Pei Xuanjing gave people an extremely oppressive aura, as if he was as eye-catching as the sun and the moon.

In the past three months, Pei Xuanjing had defeated countless opponents, and every time he defeated one, his aura became stronger.

At this moment, he carried a tremendous momentum, and the strength he could show was better than before.

He did not perform the Taoist etiquette, but the clasping fist etiquette in the rivers and lakes. It means that today he is challenging as a junior in the rivers and lakes, not asking for advice as a junior in the Taoist sect.

The moment he saw this old Heavenly Master, Pei Xuanjing felt an unfathomable feeling from the other party. The other party stood there as if he had reached the realm of unity of man and nature as described by the Taoists, and was integrated with the heaven and earth.

At this moment, Pei Xuanjing finally understood why the other party was considered the number one in the martial arts world. No wonder even with the imperial court's order, the name of the Tianshi Mansion was not changed.
