Xianye

Chapter 11 Going Down the Mountain
Two days later.

Rongguo, Wuchuan Prefecture.

A group of knights in black armor and black horses galloped along the official road, guarding a coffin in the middle.

This team of cavalry has strict banners and bright armor. Even though they have galloped for dozens of miles under the sun, neither men nor horses show any signs of fatigue. They are well-trained and brave soldiers at a glance.

"I've heard for a long time that the newly cultivated Taoist soldiers in the spiritual room are very extraordinary. I saw it today, and it's true. Brother, look carefully at the movements of their spines when they exert their strength. , if an ordinary martial artist was like this, his body would already be bruised."

Behind this team of Daoist knights, there were two white horses that followed independently.

Of the two on the white horse, one was wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a sword behind his back, pointing at the Taoist soldier in front of him, explaining it to his companions with great interest.

The other holds a Zhang Liushi vermilion lacquer bow in his left hand, a horse rein in his right hand, and a sword hanging from his waist. He is wearing a black water-cloud robe and a leather belt around his waist, which makes his slender figure look handsome. The temperament that develops.

Chen Heng, holding a big bow in his left hand, nodded lightly.

He glanced at the Taoist soldiers in the direction of Xu Zhi's finger, absent-minded.

"Junior brother, what's the matter with you? You finally went down the mountain, shouldn't you be happy?"

Xu Zhi scratched his head, and said, "I see that you have been anxious and restless since you came down the mountain. What's the matter? Could it be that you are worried that Elder Yan is going to trouble you? Don't worry, the matter of your going down the mountain was personally approved by the head of the sect." Yes, he doesn't have the guts to deliberately confront the sect leader in the open."

"I'm not only worried about Yan Feichen, but also..."

Chen Heng squeezed the big bow tightly and shook his head.

When he left the Biqingtian Palace that day, he packed up some things, and took the coffin of his predecessor's brother down the mountain overnight.

After three days of rushing, they were now less than half a day away from Lanliang City where the Chen family was located.

But Chen Heng was still uneasy.

That woman, is she really willing to let herself go because of what Chen Ying taught?
so easy?

When the predecessor first went up the mountain, he begged Yan Zhen so many times, every word was earnest, almost like a cuckoo crying blood, but in the end he died in Xiaogan Mountain with anger.

People like them.

Can you really be moved by words?
……

"Forget it, people are knives and I am fish, and thinking about it is just futile."

Chen Heng whipped his whip, and walked together with Xu Zhi: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked my senior brother for his hard work, and came here to send me back to my hometown."

"There is no need to say thank you between you and me. I have nothing to do in the mountains."

Xu Zhi laughed loudly, and said: "You have just become a fetus, although you have already left the mortal body, you have no experience in fighting skills, and you have not yet learned a few Taoist skills. Senior brother, I am also a practitioner of the sixth level of qi Cultivator, although the right hand is bad, but this mundane monster Xiaoxiao, if one comes, one will die!"

"However, next year's trip to the abyss will be difficult for senior brother, so don't be surprised."

Xu Zhi laughed at himself:
"You know that I'm cowardly and timid, it's normal. I know it's not good, but it's always hard to change. I haven't achieved much in this life, but I can live every day, and I can still study and refine medicine. Huanxi, as for places like Diyuan, I really don't have the guts to go..."

"Senior brother is serious, how dare I blame you?"

Chen Heng shook his head lightly.

"However, there is one thing that has been on my mind for a long time, but I still don't understand it." Xu Zhi looked at him, hesitated, and spoke carefully.

"Brother, please speak."

"Didn't your clan brother lure you up the mountain to give advice to Yan Zhen back then? You wished you could kill him with a sword, why did you send his coffin back to the clan now?"

"If he hadn't pushed me, I would have been killed by Xu Min's sword that slashed at Yan Zhen... Besides, who would have known that the elixir Yan Zhen gave was a life-threatening poison."

In the memory of this body.

There is still the scene where the predecessor clan brother vomited blood and wept on his knees to make amends before he died.

Xu Min's sword cut everything.

Not only Yan Zhen, but even the accompanying disciples like the predecessor were also within his murderous sword energy, if the predecessor had not been pushed away by his brother, he would have died along with Yan Zhen.

Under those circumstances, could Chen Heng be reborn in the world of Kyushu?
"What happened yesterday can't be pursued. My mother and he are both dead. I also stayed on Xiaogan Mountain for three years. Now that things have happened, it's useless to hold grudges."

Chen Heng watched indifferently as the mist like light smoke in the distant mountains dissipated silently under the sun:

"He saved my life, and I fulfilled his last wish, that's all."

Xu Zhi stared at Chen Heng in a daze. This godlike young man was controlling the horse expressionlessly, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.

Everything in the past has flowed away with the waves.

Even Chen Heng.

He is no longer the original Chen Heng...

"I saw Dao Xin in the eyes of my junior."

He suddenly said: "That day, when I was practicing swords, master... Elder Gu Jun suddenly announced that he would accept me as an apprentice, that's what he said."

"Elder Gu Jun? He is indeed a kind-hearted elder. If he hadn't asked the mortuary to allocate my team of Taoists, I would still worry about how to transport the coffin of my clan brother."

"Elder Gu..." Xu Zhi smiled bitterly: "He has always been excellent, a pure Taoist."

The two were speechless for a while.

Seeing the atmosphere froze, Xu Zhi turned his gaze to the big bow in Chen Heng's left hand, and asked:
"Junior is actually proficient in archery? It's the first time I've seen it."

"The six arts of a gentleman, how can they not understand?"

Chen Heng smiled slightly. At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the forest on the left side of the official road, and then a majestic white deer jumped out of it, running like flying.

"Coincidentally, I just asked my senior brother to appreciate my skills."

Chen Heng bent his bow like a full moon, and easily pulled all six stone bows away.

According to the archery technique in the memory of his predecessor, he shot an arrow like a shooting star to chase the moon, only to hear the sound of the bowstring, the white deer fell to the ground violently, its neck was directly pierced, and blood gushed out desperately from the wound as big as a fist .

The Taoist soldiers guarding the coffin in front all gave a hello, and Xu Zhi admired it even more.

Chen Heng put down his bow and arrow, and just when he was about to pick up the deer, there was another shaking in the woods beside the official road, accompanied by countless shouts and chasing sounds, dozens of young masters and ladies in fresh clothes and angry horses appeared.

"It seems that I have missed someone else's hunting."

Chen Heng reined in the horse and didn't go over, just cupped his hands in apology, and urged the horse to leave together with Xu Zhi.

"Sister, the deer we were chasing was shot to death."

Among the group of boys and girls, a charming girl holding a short bow pursed her lips: "The man who shot the deer to death is really good-looking, but why have I never heard of him in Rongguo, sister, you know Who is he?"

"Isn't that Chen Heng from the Xuanzhen sect? Why... was he put down the mountain?"

Among this group of people, the first one was a woman wearing a fox fur cloak, beautiful and picturesque, but with a bit of heroism in her eyebrows.

"Let's go! Maybe he came down the mountain specially for the trouble of the Chen family!"

She patted the girl's head, turned the horse's head, and chased in the direction Chen Heng left:

"Let's catch up together and see what he can do!"

……

……

at this time.

Rongguo, Lanliang City, the residence of the Chen clan.

In the lobby, a group of elders of the Chen family were frowning, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

"Xi'er can never be handed over. If it is handed over, where will my Chen family's reputation be? For the current plan, I have to take out the relics of Chen Heng's father!"

The patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Kuang, who had obtained the top three honors in the examination and then resigned to return to his hometown, stood up.

He glanced coldly at the many clansmen, his long gray beard trembling:
"Although his father was a wild Taoist before his death, didn't he also have some cultivation? His relics should be able to deal with Yangshan Taoist, how about it?"
