Chapter 56: Sword-wielding White Crane Immortal
Where did this sloppy drunkard come from?
How dare he disturb the sacredness of the crane?
This was the first reaction of most people present, but they soon realized that something was wrong. This sloppy drunkard seemed to have fallen from this crane.
Did he come here riding on this crane? ?
The people watching around the arena felt that they had made a lot of money by coming here to watch the excitement. They saw the excitement that they might not have seen in their previous half a lifetime.
First, Zhou Heng, a ninth-rank master, killed an eighth-rank master on the list of human beings. Then Tian Chong, the general manager of the military, wanted to remove Zhou Heng from the list. Then, the general manager of the military from the county city flew over, and the situation was reversed.
Now there is another strange Taoist priest riding a white crane. It seems that he is also looking for Zhou Heng?
Who is this Zhou Heng?
How did he attract so many extraordinary people?
In fact, not only those who came here to watch were confused, but even Zhou Heng himself was a little confused.
Who is this drunk Taoist priest?
Where did he come from?
What did he do to me?
What's going on?
Kong Chengshun frowned when he saw the white crane and the drunk Taoist priest. He didn't know what he thought of, and his face changed slightly.
Pei Zhantu also looked at the Taoist priest who suddenly came on a crane with a look of astonishment, and his eyes were a little puzzled.
Obviously, he recognized this Taoist priest, but he couldn't figure out why this Taoist priest came here.
Liu Changsheng under the ring also widened his eyes.
He didn't know this drunk Taoist priest, but he knew the Taoist priest's robe.
Although this Taoist robe was full of oil stains and many places had hard crusts, the overall style could still be seen clearly.
This is the Taoist robe of Chunyang Palace!
And from this style, this drunk Taoist priest is at least a sixth-grade, or even a fifth-grade cultivation.
There is another strong man who is suspected to be a master! ?
Who is Zhou Heng? ?
Does he really have an incredible hidden identity?
Now Liu Changsheng suddenly felt a little fortunate that his previous invitation to Zhou Heng was unsuccessful.
Otherwise——
If I really accept Zhou Heng as my disciple, I'm afraid I will be beaten by these big guys.
"Why is he here?" Manager Wang seemed to know this drunk Taoist priest, but he was also very confused.
"Who is this Taoist priest?" Liu Changsheng asked: "Manager Wang, do you know him?"
"The first on the list of people fifty years ago, the true disciple of Chunyang Palace, known as the 'Sword-wielding White Crane Immortal' You Ziheng." Manager Wang looked at the drunk Taoist priest who had not yet climbed up on the stage, as if reminiscing about the past.
"You Ziheng!?" Liu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the sloppy drunk Taoist priest in disbelief, "Didn't they say that the Sword-wielding White Crane Immortal was handsome and outstanding like a sword fairy? How could this be..."
Manager Wang shook his head and said nothing.
Zhou Heng had a keen hearing, and when he heard what Liu Changsheng and Manager Wang said, he suddenly understood.
It turned out that this person came from Chunyang Palace.
Then he understood that this should be related to Cheng Jiangjian.
When Cheng Jiangjian said goodbye to him, she left as a disciple of Chunyang Palace.
"Is it because of my Chunyang body that she intends to introduce me to Chunyang Palace to learn martial arts?" Zhou Heng guessed in his heart what You Ziheng's purpose was.
"You Ziheng, why are you here?" Pei Zhantu, who was a contemporary of this drunk Taoist priest, asked in confusion, "Are you here to see Zhou Heng?"
Kong Chengshun's face suddenly changed when he heard the name, and he quickly bowed and saluted, saying, "Junior Changxing Sect's true disciple Kong Chengshun, pays homage to Senior You of Chunyang Palace."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present knew the identity of You Ziheng.
This drunk Taoist priest turned out to be from Chunyang Palace!
Seeing him fall from the sky on a crane, I'm afraid he is at least a sixth-grade master, or even a fifth-grade master!
Chunyang Palace!
This is one of the three palaces of Taoism in the world, and its palace master is now the number one on the Tianbang, dominating the world.
It is said that there are immortals who have reached the first level in the sect. They are sacred and can be called the strongest of the first level.
The inheritance is extremely long.
Although the specific era is difficult for outsiders to verify, some things can be confirmed from the available information. As early as before the Middle Ages, Chunyang Palace had existed for many years.
There is no doubt that this is one of the most powerful sects in the world.
Compared with it, the Five Elements Sect and the Pingzhou Pei Clan are all eclipsed!
As for the Changxing Sect, it is not worth mentioning.
"Hic, Zhou Heng, where is Zhou Heng?"
You Ziheng looked around in a daze, ignoring Pei Zhantu and Kong Chengshun. Finally, his eyes fell on Zhou Heng, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face covered by his hair, "Hahaha, I finally found you!"
He laughed and got up from the ground. His originally blurry eyes seemed to be slightly clearer. He looked around and laughed, "Yes, yes, it's you."
"Senior, are you looking for me?" Although Zhou Heng was confused, he still maintained the proper courtesy.
It's always right to be polite when speaking.
"Gudong gudong."
You Ziheng took the wine gourd and poured a sip into his mouth. He looked at Zhou Heng and said straight to the point, "Yes, I came to find you. By the way, I want to ask you if you are interested in being a disciple of my Chunyang Palace?"
Hiss! !
The cool air sauce around was completely sucked dry, not a drop left.
Everyone present was shocked, and they all looked at Zhou Heng and You Ziheng in disbelief.
Oh my God!
What's going on? ?
People from Chunyang Palace took the initiative to come to Zhou Heng and wanted to accept him as a disciple of Chunyang Palace! ?
This is Chunyang Palace!
Who is Zhou Heng that even Chunyang Palace pays so much attention to him?
Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang on the high platform felt dizzy, as if they were dreaming.
No, even in their dreams, they would not dare to imagine that the warriors trained by their own martial arts school would actually be spotted by Chunyang Palace and want to be accepted as their disciples! !
This is simply unbelievable!
It’s incredible!
Yun Xiu and others were completely shocked. They were all very familiar friends with Zhou Heng, and the current situation was completely beyond his understanding.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would even doubt whether this Zhou Heng was the one they knew.
This is Chunyang Palace!
"You want to admit him directly?" Pei Zhantu was also a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "You came here specifically from Chunyang Palace to find him?"
Although he could also tell that Zhou Heng's talent was extraordinary, it was not to the extent that Chunyang Palace would personally come to recruit disciples.
Top martial arts sects like Chunyang Palace are extremely strict in the selection of their disciples. They not only look at the talent and qualifications, but also usually have to go through layers of selection and assessment before they can truly get started.
How can it be so casual?
"Hehe, that's not true." You Ziheng shook his head, took another sip of wine, and said with a smile: "I drove a crane to Dongli Mountain to buy wine. Suddenly, on a whim, I sensed that there was a person named 'Zhou Heng' here who was related to me, Chunyang. I have a chance to go to the palace, so I came down to take a look.”
"That's it." Pei Zhantu suddenly realized that he didn't know that You Ziheng was just deceiving him, and the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately.
Chunyang Palace has a long and ancient inheritance, and it is said that there are still methods from the ancient immortal and Buddha era. The situation where You Ziheng said that he suddenly felt destined on a whim did indeed exist, and it was not just an excuse.
If this was the case, he would understand why You Ziheng appeared here and asked Zhou Heng to worship him in Chunyang Palace.
Everything is just a coincidence.
You Ziheng passed by this place and landed on a whim.
Only coincidence can explain it, otherwise how could Chunyang Palace come all the way to accept a disciple?
"Does the Taoist want me to worship in Chunyang Palace?" Zhou Heng's eyes lit up.
He has no shortage of martial arts, but he lacks teachers and seniors who can teach him martial arts experience, and he also lacks classmates who can compete with each other and make progress together.
This was one of the reasons why he still chose to take the assessment and try to join the Changxing Sect after obtaining the system.
Moreover, having read "Journey to the West" many times, he knows very well that whether there is a backstage or not is often the difference between heaven and earth, or even life and death.
Although the Changxing Sect can only be regarded as average in Daqi as a whole, it is already considered the strongest martial arts sect in the area near Huangtongfu City.
For an ordinary person like him who came from the mountains, it can definitely serve as a good backstage.
At least that's what it was like before he became truly powerful.
Now the Changxing sect is impossible.
Zhou Heng originally thought that when he became stronger and gained some fame on the list, he would look for some better sects to see if he could get started.
Unexpectedly, Chunyang Palace came directly to the door!
Cheng Jiangjian is a really nice little girl. If possible, see if I can make chocolate for her to try.
"What, your heart is beating? Burp!" You Ziheng burped, exhaled the smell of alcohol, and said with a smile: "Although I feel that you are destined to our Chunyang Palace, whether you can actually enter the palace or not is not up to me. There still needs to be an assessment.
"As for the specific assessment, let's do it tomorrow. I'll tell you tomorrow. Well, I'll tell you when I think about it tomorrow. Bah, look at my mouth. I mean tomorrow when I think about it, bah, it's tomorrow anyway!"
He seemed to be so drunk that he was not very clear-headed, and his speech was a little slurred. He walked to Pei Zhantu again and said with a smile: "Hey, Lao Pei, we haven't seen each other for decades, right. Why don't you drink two jars of wine with me?"
The two were of similar age, had competed in the same generation, and were quite familiar with each other.
"I have an official status now." Pei Zhantu frowned, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."
"Oops, trouble." You Ziheng waved his hand, a little disappointed, and said: "Then arrange a better restaurant for me and get me more good wine. This is your territory, otherwise I will think you are petty. ”
As he said that, he swaggered down to the ring, and the white crane that was more than a foot tall suddenly shrank to the size of a sparrow and flew onto his shoulder.
Zhou Heng looked at his leaving figure and suddenly felt that Chunyang Palace... seemed unreliable?
Kong Chengshun breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was really on tenterhooks just now, fearing that You Ziheng would discover his previous idea of suppressing Zhou Heng and blocking Zhou Heng's path to martial arts.
Chunyang Palace and Changxing Sect are both sects. If You Ziheng targets him, it will not cause further conflicts between the family court and the sect.
You Ziheng only needed to knock the head of Changxingmen a little to make Kong Chengshun unable to eat.
But just when Kong Chengshun's mind was relaxed.
You Ziheng, who was about to jump off the ring, suddenly stopped. He formed a sword finger with his right hand and turned it slightly. The invisible energy of heaven and earth was suddenly stirred and condensed into thousands of sword lights in an instant!
Zheng!
The sound of the sword is like the roar of a crane in the sky, resounding throughout the world!
These thousands of sword lights flew to Kong Chengshun's side at the same moment, covering him from all directions, including his front, back, left, right, and above.
Moreover, these sword lights were only a hair away from actually piercing him!
Kong Chengshun immediately broke out in cold sweat, and the fear in his heart almost exploded.
"Kneel down and go apologize to my destined person in Chunyang Palace." You Ziheng stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Kong Chengshun, and said this lightly, then shook his sleeves, removed the sword light, jumped off the ring, and staggered away.
Kong Chengshun's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. Although the sword light had been removed, he was still immersed in the fear that had suddenly descended like a storm.
Almost without thinking, he knelt down in front of Zhou Heng and shouted loudly: "I'm sorry! Please forgive me, Master Zhou Heng. Please don't bear grudges against me! I'm sorry!"
"Heh." Zhou Heng sneered, but he didn't even bother to look at Kong Chengshun. He turned around and said to Pei Zhantu: "Mr. Pei, can I hold a banquet to thank you for your help?"
"No need, I just did what I should do." Pei Zhantu still said this. He smiled and said: "Helping you is also helping myself."
After that, he took off and flew to the tall building not far away.
Zhou Heng looked at his figure and Pei Luoling on the tall building, and roughly guessed what happened.
Pei Luoling obviously ran away secretly, and Pei Zhantu was most likely here to "catch" Pei Luoling and bring him back to help him solve the current troubles. Most of them were Pei Luoling's "request" to go back.
"Thank you." Zhou Heng waved to the girl on the tall building.
Pei Luoling originally had her back to Zhou Heng, but as if she sensed someone around her, she turned around and saw Zhou Heng waving his hand. Her originally somewhat sad expression was suddenly filled with smiles.
She began to look forward to the future:
"Well, I will come here again in the future to listen to your wonderful story."
...
This Changxing School's assessment competition ended in an unprecedented way.
Next, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Heng will receive support policies from the Huangtong Mansion's Buwu Division.
Not only money.
There is also an opportunity to ask the military forgers to forge exclusive weapons.
This is an opportunity that money can't buy!
Huang Jingfu and Hong Kang are most likely to be removed from their respective positions as the head of the hall, and there may be other punishments.
In addition to Zhou Heng, the biggest winner is Longxing Martial Arts Hall.
Before Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang could react to what was going on, the martial arts hall was crowded with people, all waving silver bills and wanting to send their children to learn martial arts.
Zhou Heng didn't plan to pay attention to these disturbances. After he came down from the ring, he had a meal with Yu He and Yun Xiu, and then returned home.
He had experienced a lot of things this day. Tomorrow he might have to face You Ziheng's unknown assessment. It was important to have a good rest.
But he didn't sleep for long and woke up soon.
Looking out the window, the night was dark and windy.
Zhou Heng sat on the bed. The room was silent. He frowned slightly and wondered, "Did I overlook something? I always feel that something is wrong, Kong Chengshun's sword?"
Zheng!
At this moment, a sword sounded in the room without any warning. Zhou Heng saw that on the table beside his bed, a long sword with an ancient shape appeared out of thin air.
"Yes, you did ignore me."
The ancient sword trembled slightly.
It made an old voice.
