Chapter 55 I Gave You a Chance, but You Are Useless

Yongshan, located to the west of Longcheng, is a solitary mountain that blocks the ancient road to the west, leaving only a gap.

This mountain is very high and is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round.

As the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening, the scenery is magnificent. It has always been a holy place for literati and poets to linger and compose poems. Therefore, there were many inns and taverns on this mountain road.

However, it is not easy to transport wine and food, so the price is expensive, so there are not many guests. When the war in the northwest started, the trade route was blocked, and this place gradually declined. Now only one "Wangfeng Inn" is still in business.

"Sister Yu, have you really seen Cuishanjun?"

Early in the morning, there were two more beautiful figures on the roof of the inn.

One was sitting cross-legged in the wind, with a straight back and heroic spirit. It was Yu Lingyan, a disciple of the Sword Sect who had met Chen Yuan once in Lushou Mountain.

The other one, wearing a red skirt, had a peach-like face and clear eyes, and asked curiously.

This woman's name is Xie Junshang. She is a true disciple of the Three Orthodox Sects of Xuanmen and Lingnan Jiuru Court. This time, she came to Taihua Mountain with her elders to watch the ceremony. When she heard that Gu Cangqiong was going to challenge the Mountain Destroyer, she followed him.

"I have met that fellow Daoist Chen. At that time, I returned from the Western Regions and went to Mount Taihua. In order to hurry on the road, I mistakenly entered Mount Lushou and was involved in the conspiracy of the mountain god. I fought side by side with fellow Daoist Chen."

"Wow! Then you are an eyewitness!" Xie Junchang became excited, "What kind of person is he? Is he as powerful as the rumors say?"

"At that time, he relied on his quick start to defeat the mountain god before he could perform his magic," Yu Lingyan recalled the scene at that time, "Then he used other means to suppress the god's position. It was indeed extraordinary."

"Is that so? It was based on skills." Xie Junchang showed disappointment, "I thought I could see a fight between dragons and tigers."

"Fellow Daoist Chen showed power beyond the ninth level of Qi and blood at that time!" Yu Lingyan said seriously: "And he was skilled in fighting, like a battle-hardened soldier. I invited him to the Sword Sect Being a guest official, he was rejected by him.

Xie Junchang's eyes lit up: "Dare to refuse the position of guest official of Jianzong? He must have something to rely on, right?"

"He seems to have been in seclusion for a long time and suddenly came out of the mountains. He doesn't understand many things, otherwise the Divine Court would not have issued a wanted order without scruples." Yu Lingyan shook her head and then asked curiously: "Aren't you looking forward to your elder brother Gu's victory?"

"Only a strong enough stepping stone can make elder brother Gu famous after he ascends to the sky in one step." Xie Junchang said, and then changed the subject, "By the way, Cuishanjun's surname is Chen, what is the connection with Jingyang Chen family."

"It is rumored that he once pretended to be Chen Shiji, the eldest son of Jingyang Hou..." Yu Lingyan was talking, and suddenly saw a group of people coming up the mountain road, "Zeng Liancheng is here again."

"Put it here." Zeng Liancheng led a group of people over, carrying large and small boxes.

"Liancheng, what are you doing?" Qu Zhiyong, the elder of Huangliang Dao Nanzong, walked out of the inn.

Zeng Liancheng smiled and said, "I have collected some things for you fellows."

"That's thoughtful." Qu Zhiyong laughed, "But you have to be careful. I have set up a sword formation here to prevent scoundrels. Don't touch it by mistake."

"Don't worry, elder. I know what's going on." Zeng Liancheng nodded, "Speaking of which, does this place need manpower? Why not let my father dispatch some soldiers to protect it."

"No need for that," Qu Zhiyong stroked his beard and smiled, "This time there are 36 disciples coming together. We can form the Tiangang Great Dream Formation to guard the mountain road. There is only one road on this mountain, so it can be guaranteed to be safe."

"That's good. By the way, let me introduce someone to the elder." Zeng Liancheng said as he stepped aside half of his body, and a young man came up to salute.

"Meet Elder Qu, I'm Zhao Li, the junior."

Qu Zhiyong narrowed his eyes: "Zhao Li? Are you from the Zhao family in Longcheng? Aren't you close to the Mountain Destroyer?"

"My father, Zhao Jing, is now known as Jing Yuanzi," Zhao Li said calmly, "He also received a message from the Divine Court Zhijun."

"I see."

Zeng Liancheng smiled and said, "Brother Zhao and I are also old friends. He has a lot of information about the Mountain Destroyer and is planning to tell Brother Gu."

"Good news, good news." Qu Zhiyong nodded with a smile.

Zhao Li asked, "I heard that there is another great master coming this time. I wonder..."

"Brother Sun was delayed by something and will be here in two days." Qu Zhiyong restrained his smile, "But even if he is not there, can Cang Qiong not take down a Mountain Destroyer?"

"The elder is right." Zeng Liancheng hurriedly said, "Where is Brother Gu?"

Qu Zhiyong pointed to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, a man stood alone, facing the morning sun, with a faint glow covering his body, like a god.

Suddenly!

He raised his hand, and the sword light shot up into the sky, breaking through the clouds in the mountains!

Zeng Liancheng and Zhao Li, who had just arrived, were dazzled by the sight.

"It's really amazing!" The man turned around and looked at Zeng Liancheng, "You came at the right time. Please help me send a letter of challenge to Cuishan Jun. In two days, at midnight, I will go to his house to fight." Zeng Liancheng came to his senses and said, "Cuishan Jun has set up a large formation in the house. If I go there rashly..." The man said, "This is better. It will break the formation he has painstakingly set up, shatter his heart of Taoism, and sharpen my sword will. It's the time to boil." "What a courage!" Zeng Liancheng was overwhelmed when he heard it. After returning, he wrote a letter of challenge and asked Zhao Li to give it to Chen Yuan. He also instructed, "Brother Gu's challenge to Cuishan Jun cannot be concealed, but the specific date should not be spread to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, Grandmaster Sun has not arrived yet." "I understand." Zhao Li agreed, but he concealed it after returning, wanting to confuse the situation.

"Although my father has a plan, I also have an opinion. If at a critical moment, Gu Cangqiong and another great master suddenly attack, and the situation is chaotic, Zhao Jie and his son are deeply bound to Deishanjun, and they will be implicated. Only my department will There is a possibility of advancement.”

Buzz!

Amidst the buzzing sound, the golden bowl flashing with golden light spun in the air, and golden dragon shadows emerged from it!

The golden dragon turned and landed on the ground, corroding a large patch of grass. White smoke rose up, exuding a fishy and sweet smell.

Chen Yuan waved his hand and called back the golden bowl.

"This poisonous bowl has been refined with the power of the divine way, and the sound, light and shadow effects have been greatly improved. There are also a few incomplete Qiu Qi in the three-headed and six-armed Heiyan statue, which can be used just in time. However, the bowl is still refined with poison, but the grade has been improved. It’s a bit too small, so it can barely be called a low-grade magic weapon.”

Putting the poison bowl into his bag, he waved his hand again, and a brush flew towards him.

Different from the original dilapidated and ancient appearance, the appearance of this pen has been greatly changed. There are three rows of small talismans arranged on the pen barrel, glowing with a faint golden light.

"The statue of the Big-headed Hu God actually has the ability to enter dreams. After combined with this ritual, it can disturb people's thoughts with one stroke, induce psychedelics with two strokes, and sneak into dreams with three strokes! It can be called the 'Dream Pen'."

After playing with it for a while, Chen Yuan put the dream pen into his sleeve and looked at the furnace again.

The fire in the furnace was burning brightly, and there was a strange golden halo mixed with it, which was obviously influenced by divine power.

"I have to take some time to refine the mustard seed bag again. There are too many things and the space is not enough. But I have to ask the Zhao family to help get some related materials."

A sudden noise outside interrupted his train of thought.

"We really have no other intentions. We came from Jincheng to pay homage to General Zhenwu."

Outside the courtyard, the two dusty people were stopped by the Zhao family's servants. The courtyard door was difficult to approach, so they could only raise their heads and shout.

Chen Yuan's voice came slowly from inside——

"Are you from Jincheng?"

"Yes! Yes!" When the two heard the voice, their eyes lit up, and they rushed to the door and cupped their hands: "Everyone in Jincheng appreciates the general's kindness and looks forward to his return every day!"

"Go back." Chen Yuan spoke calmly, "I received a gift from the city, but I also solved the city's disaster. My fate with Jincheng is over. There is no need to look for me again in the future."

"General!" The two Jincheng envoys suddenly became anxious. Before they could say anything else, a gust of wind blew out of the courtyard and swept the two of them up, causing the world to spin. When they came to their senses, they were already outside the city. .

"This is?"

The two looked at each other in shock.

One said with emotion: "General Zhenwu is a true immortal! It's a pity that his old man really doesn't want to go back. It's because of my poor fortune in Jincheng! It's a blessing from heaven to be favored by his old man for a while, alas."

The other one also sighed repeatedly and said: "Having said that, it is best to wait a few more days to see if there is any improvement."

In the next two days, news of the arrival of Huangliang Dao disciples spread in the city, and there was also talk of challenging the Mountain Lord, but there was not much movement, and all parties were waiting and watching.

The Zhao brothers also told Chen Yuan this news when they visited, but the latter didn't take it to heart very much.

On the afternoon of the second day, brothers Zhao Fengji and Zhao Fengxiang came to visit again, but with them was Zhao Li.

He came here this time because he was in a hurry to get a feel for the situation and understand the reality in the hospital.

"I have met my senior. Junior Zhao Li is also a disciple of the Zhao family. This time we came together to ask for advice. I have always respected my senior very much."

But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan shook his head.

"If you don't tell the truth, the malice in your heart is almost overflowing. How can you hide it from me?"

Zhao Li's expression changed suddenly, and he was waiting to say more, but a figure flashed before his eyes, and Chen Yuan was already there!

Zhao Li was startled and instinctively raised his palms to block it!

"Zhao Li! What are you doing!"

The expressions of the Zhao Fengji brothers also changed.

Before the two of them finished speaking, Zhao Li was caught by Chen Yuan. With a shake, all the joints in his body were shaken off, and he lost the ability to resist.

"I have no interest in the quarrels between the wealthy clans, but if it involves me, it can't be brushed off in one or two sentences."

After a few breaths, Zhao Li paused on the ground.

The Zhao brothers apologized anxiously.

Chen Yuan looked at the battle note in his hand and narrowed his eyes.

"Ancient Sky, the battle to ascend the stairs? The innate peak attacks the grand master? It's Huang Liang Dao again, it's really disturbing. However, this person seems to have a good reputation, but it can be used to scare others, so that all cats and dogs will not come to challenge him in the future. , endlessly annoying.”

Putting down the gauntlet, he said to the uneasy Zhao brothers: "I accepted the gauntlet, but my place is small and there are many bottles and cans. Please tell me to move to a spacious place."

"We were going to fight when we were young, and now we're saying we want to change places?"

On top of Yongshan Mountain, Qu Zhiyong, who had received the news, smiled coldly: "How can such a clumsy scheming be hidden from me? This is confusing Cang Qiong's mind!"

Zeng Liancheng, who came to report the news, asked: "Should we inform Brother Gu?"

Qu Zhiyong shook his head and said seriously: "Qianqiong is sincere and only thinks about how to defeat the opponent, and will not consider these ghostly tricks. If he knows the person's request, he might really agree to it and be fooled by that person. "

"That's the truth." Zeng Liancheng was convinced and asked again: "What about Grandmaster Sun..."

Qu Zhiyong smiled and said: "We will arrive tonight."

Zeng Liancheng felt relieved and said, "I'll go see Brother Gu again."

After bidding farewell to Qu Zhiyong, Zeng Liancheng came to the top of the mountain again. Before he even got close, he felt a sharp sword intent.

"Congratulations, Brother Gu, for your great progress in martial arts!"

"It's just refining. If we really want to make great progress, we have to wait until we defeat the Destroying Tiger King." Gu Cangqiong said calmly, and revealed a sense of expectation, "I am full of energy and spirit today, and there are signs of a breakthrough. I hope the rumors spread. Don’t let me down with the flying sword technique.”

Zeng Liancheng took advantage of the situation and said: "There is one more thing I want to remind you. I went to Dingyu Temple this morning and asked about the matter of destroying the tiger. Several Taoist priests were hesitant and unwilling to speak clearly. Fortunately, Taoist priest Jing Yuanzi revealed the inside story. , saying that that person has extraordinary attainments in alchemy, and he seems to have some hidden methods, but he seems to be unclear about something, so you must be careful. "

Gu Cangqiong shook his head and said: "If you are proficient in alchemy, you can at most have some elixirs that stimulate your potential, but this is an evil way. I have exhausted all my innate wisdom, so I will not be afraid of these."

"That's good." Zeng Liancheng said and glanced at the sky.

It's getting late, and it's almost time to hit the road.

"Don't want to change? You're too self-righteous."

Chen Yuan just got the news and looked at his yard, feeling unhappy.

"I want to challenge myself. I also bought this yard with money. I spent my energy to clean the dust, light the furnace, and put a lot of things in it. If it is damaged, they will definitely not pay for it. It's okay, I'll give it to you. The opportunity is useless to you, so just follow my rhythm, Yongshan, right..."

He didn't hesitate, and waved his hand, and the poisonous bowl and white flag flew over and fell into his sleeve.

The second update will be around eight o'clock...
