Chapter 224: The Powerful Appearance
Zhou Heng has not returned to Huang Tong Mansion for two or three months.
Now it's December again, January is approaching, and it's almost the New Year's Day. He plans to stay in Huangtong Fucheng until the New Year when he goes back this time.
Yes, this world also has New Year customs.
Its specific origin is unknown. It is said that as early as the ancient mythological era, there were gods and goddesses who formulated calendars and designated festivals for the human world.
Nowadays, most of them have been lost, but the customs of celebrating the New Year are fortunately preserved.
Every time Zhou Heng saw the division of these festivals, he felt as if he had returned to the earth. Whether it was the counting method of years, months and days, or the division of some festivals, they were all very similar to the earth.
Unfortunately, after that long dark age, many classics have been lost. With his current level of cultivation, it is difficult for him to have access to too many secrets and to investigate these situations carefully.
You still need to advance your cultivation level further.
…
More than two months ago, Huangtong Fucheng suffered a major disaster.
There are ghosts and immortals sent by the great demon Canghua, who intend to unblock half of the great demon's finger bones that are banned here.
There is also the Sanxian Jade Dragon coming.
This is already a disaster.
Fortunately, the Celestial Master from Chunyang Palace came and many top masters joined forces to finally re-seal half of the Demon's finger bones and kill the Jade Dragon Sanxian.
Huang Tong Mansion finally returned to calm.
Because of this, Chunyang Martial Arts Hall, which was renovated from the original Longxing Martial Arts Hall, became even more prosperous. The government and even the county government gave strong support to the construction of martial arts gym venues.
The reputation of the Chunyang Martial Arts School has also been completely established, and the powerful methods of Yan Shouyi's projection, which are as powerful as gods, are still fresh in the memory of the entire Huangtong Mansion.
Now more than two months have passed, Chunyang Martial Arts Hall has spread all over the place, and six of them have been put into use.
The number of apprentices has also increased significantly, far exceeding before.
There are also many former apprentices from the Longxing Martial Arts School who "returned after getting lost" and want to join the current Chunyang Martial Arts School.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world, and such apprentices will not be accepted.
After all, there are already a lot of apprentices in Chunyang Martial Arts Hall.
There is no need to worry about "source of life" at all.
Zhou Heng followed his past memories and came to Chunyang Martial Arts Hall, only to find that it had been transformed into a place similar to a memorial hall.
There is an endless stream of tourists and visitors, and there are many strong young people who act as guards to maintain order.
But these people were all strange and looked like they were from somewhere else.
There was an old man sitting at the door of the martial arts gym, as if he was checking and verifying the visitors' information.
"It's really turned into a tourist attraction. It's probably Yu He's masterpiece." Zhou Heng looked around with interest and thought to himself: "From the accents of these 'staff', they should be from the county under the jurisdiction of Huangtong Mansion. , Are you going to work in the city? "
Seeing this somewhat familiar scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Zhou Heng was wandering around when a figure suddenly stopped him.
This is a young man with a somewhat immature appearance. He is wearing a green outfit and looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Brother, are you also here to visit Chunyang No. 1 Martial Arts School?" He seemed to muster up great courage and said to Zhou Heng: "Are you interested in letting me be your tour guide?"
"Tour guide?" Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Then you know this place very well?"
"Of course!" The young man nodded and said seriously: "Although I have only been in Fucheng for a month, I have already heard about the names of Zhou Heng and Chunyang Palace. I know everything about Zhou Heng by heart. Just ask me, I am sure can get answers.”
When he talked about Zhou Heng, his face was full of admiration and admiration, and his words were in a tone of praise.
"This Zhou Heng you are talking about, is he very powerful?" Zhou Heng said with a smile.
"It's not like he's powerful..." The young man shook his head repeatedly, opened his arms, drew a huge circle with all his strength, and corrected: "He is very, very, very, very powerful!"
"So strong?" Zhou Heng pretended to be surprised and said, "Then do you know what this Zhou Heng looks like?"
"Ah..." The young man suddenly suppressed his blush and hesitated: "I heard that only the core disciples of Chunyang Martial Arts School can see Zhou Heng's portrait. I, I haven't become a core disciple yet."
"I see that you are capable." Zhou Heng patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Practice hard and become a core disciple sooner or later."
He noticed that this young man had weak spiritual roots and a good physique, so he should be quite talented in martial arts.
As for the appearance of almighty power, it was just a joke on his whim and could not be real.
"Ah?" The young man was confused and said in astonishment: "Great, powerful? This, I don't dare to think about this. I will be very satisfied if I can become an eighth-level warrior in this life."
What is a powerful person? He is a strong man of the upper third level, the lowest is in the realm of heaven and human, a person like a land god!
How could he possibly be so powerful? He had failed to choose an apprentice at Chunyang Martial Arts School before...
Just now he said that he was not yet a core disciple of Chunyang Martial Arts School, which was true, but not complete.
In fact, he is not even an ordinary apprentice.
The current test for selecting apprentices at Chunyang Martial Arts School is very strict, requiring good physical health, not being too thin, and preferably having a certain foundation in martial arts.
He fits none of them.
His father died early, and his mother relied on selling noodles to support him, but it was just to support him, and she rarely ate meat, so his body was naturally thinner.
Now he is working as a tour guide to make money, and he also wants to help a group of mothers, and at the same time, he can also make money to support his body, in anticipation of the next time Chunyang Martial Arts Hall recruits apprentices.
For him, becoming an eighth-level warrior in this life is really a huge pursuit.
"You still have to have dreams. What's your name?" Zhou Heng said with a smile. At the same time, he looked behind the young man and saw an acquaintance walking over.
"Ah? My name is Xie Chong." The young man said in a panic.
He was very confused. He was originally very good at communicating with people, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do the job of a tour guide, but now he didn't know why he always felt a little nervous when talking to this person.
"Zhou Heng, you're actually back! Why didn't you tell me in advance?!" At this moment, a cry of surprise came, and a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old trotted over, with a look of joy on his face.
It was Yu He.
"Zhou, Zhou Heng?!" Xie Chong was stunned. He quickly turned around and immediately recognized the young man running over. He was shocked and said: "Yu, Director Yu, you, you just said, this is, Is it Zhou Heng?”
He stuttered a bit when he spoke.
Yu He is now the external director of Chunyang Martial Arts School, in charge of all aspects of finance, publicity, activities and other matters.
Basically, it can be regarded as the de facto operator of the martial arts gym.
Lei Xiuyuan, Lin Cang and others mainly serve as the face of the martial arts studio and teach martial arts.
Xie Chong's job of getting people to visit Chunyang No. 1 Martial Arts Hall as a tour guide was actually planned by Yu He, so Xie Chong knew Yu He.
He also knew the weight of Yu He's words at Chunyang Martial Arts School.
This means that the name Yu He just called him should be true. The person he was talking to just now is actually the real Zhou Heng? !
"Oh my God! What did I just say??" Xie Chong blushed all of a sudden, lowered his head and wished he could dig a hole to buy something for himself.
So embarrassing.
"Yes, I plan to come back for the New Year." Zhou Heng said with a smile, without explaining his true purpose.
After all, it was already a bit far away from Yu He. For Yu He, who had not even reached the first level of martial arts, it would be best to live a peaceful and stable life.
"Okay, have a great New Year. Master Lei and Master Lin will miss you." Yu He laughed and said, "Come on, I will take you to see them. They will be extremely happy to see you back."
"Let's go." Zhou Heng smiled.
"That, that... I'm sorry, Senior Zhou Heng, I, I didn't recognize you before..." Xie Chong lowered his head from behind and said very embarrassedly: "I also said a lot of strange things to you, I hope Don’t take it seriously.”
"I have always believed in others. I naturally believe what you say." Zhou Heng turned around and smiled and said, "In the same way, you should also believe what I say."
Then, he said to He: "This child's qualifications are not bad. Next, you can find an opportunity to recruit him into the ranks of ordinary apprentices. It won't take long for this child to become a core disciple."
"No, so powerful?" Yu He's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Xie Chong in surprise. He knew very well what it meant to be a core disciple of Chunyang Martial Arts Hall now.
At least it's "quasi-ninth grade"!
Now this kid obviously only has a rough understanding of martial arts. Judging from his standing figure, his basic martial arts skills are not very good.
With such a level, it would be difficult to be an ordinary apprentice, let alone a core disciple.
However, Yu He believed Zhou Heng's words the most. Since Zhou Heng said it, it must be true, so he walked over and said to Xie Chong: "Well, the boy's talent is indeed good.
"Then you report to Area A of Chunyang Martial Arts Hall tomorrow. I will arrange for you to become an ordinary apprentice. However, if you are admitted like this, many people will definitely dislike you. You have to work hard and surpass all others. people."
Chunyang Martial Arts School currently has six areas, divided into A, B, C, D, E, and Ji.
Among them, Area A is the core.
The former disciples and teachers of the Longxing Martial Arts School were there, and Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang personally taught them. The basic martial arts of Chunyang Palace for these two people were taught by Zhou Heng himself.
"I, I became a disciple of Chunyang Martial Arts School Area A?" Xie Chong was stunned and couldn't believe it.
He slapped himself in the face and grinned in pain, but he couldn't stop the smile on his face. He smiled and cried.
The little boy saluted Zhou Heng and Yu He respectfully, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you two benefactors. I will live up to your expectations, practice hard, and never slack off!"
"Work hard, boy." Zhou Heng smiled, waved his hand, and left with Yu He.
However, Xie Chong stood there, motionless for a long time, as if he had been hit by a immobilizing spell. He was really excited to the extreme. He wanted to cheer and run wildly.
But thinking that this was in front of the gate of Chunyang No. 1 Martial Arts School, it was inappropriate for him to do so, so he took a deep breath, reluctantly calmed down, and rushed home in a hurry.
He wanted to report the good news to his mother who had worked so hard to raise him!
This is a great joy.
…
After Zhou Heng and Xie Chong both left.
The old man who was sitting in front of Chunyang No. 1 Martial Arts Hall checking tourist information suddenly frowned and thought to himself: "With such a powerful figure, could it be said that Zhou Heng saw something this time?
"That's not right. That child's special talent is extremely secretive. Even I could only confirm it after observing it with my own eyes for a day. How did he determine it?
“Is it a backup plan from the previous life? But who was he in his previous life? He is not the reincarnation of Meng Sheng, and he is even less likely to be my master. The Five Elements Dao, reincarnation restart, predicting the future, thunderbolt secrets… Which Taoist master is he?
“However, I took a fancy to this child first. Even if he joins Chunyang Martial Arts School, it will not prevent me from teaching him. My forbidden secrets may not be weaker than Chunyangzi’s inheritance. "
The old man looked in the direction where Xie Chong left, and nodded secretly, feeling satisfied. This was the successor he had finally found.
...
Zhou Heng followed Yu He to meet Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang.
Compared to when he left before, the cultivation levels of these two people have improved, especially Lin Cang, who has truly entered the eighth level of martial arts, and his strength is far beyond what he had before.
Although Lei Xiuyuan is still at the peak of the seventh level, after learning the martial arts of Chunyang Palace, his inner vision has been further improved. It is not impossible for him to break through to the sixth level of the secret level in ten years.
Secret sixth level!
Innate realm!
This is something that Lei Xiuyuan never dared to dream of before, but now it seems to be right in front of him.
The changes in the world are indeed impermanent.
Because Therefore, both Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang were very grateful to Zhou Heng.
After Zhou Heng exchanged greetings with the two, he received invitations from Feng He, the general manager of Buwu, and Wu Zongshan, the master of Huangtong Mansion, to hold a banquet to welcome him.
Then he received invitations from other martial arts schools one after another, all hoping to have a good relationship with Zhou Heng.
After all, Zhou Heng's recent popularity is too great, and it has only been a short time, but he has already been ranked in the top ten of the human list!
For the first-level martial arts schools and warriors in the prefecture city, Zhou Heng has walked a path that they cannot walk in fifty years in five months. He is definitely a big man in the future.
It's right to prepare to have a good relationship with him.
However, Zhou Heng declined all of them, and on the pretext of the difficult journey, he returned to his house on the outskirts of the city. In the rented house, he heard the familiar shouting and cursing of the landlord's sister again.
At night, he concealed his figure and quietly went to the mansion where he lived.
The reason for going there in this way is that if he went straight to the mansion as soon as he came back, even a fool would think that he might have discovered the secret of the mansion.
There will be a lot of trouble.
It is better to go there secretly to avoid attracting attention.
Entering the mansion again, Zhou Heng felt the inexplicable gloomy atmosphere again.
However, unlike before, his soul was much stronger than before.
But even if he let go of his soul perception, he still didn't notice anything unusual.
Then he looked at the square brick-carved screen wall again.
It was carved with a three-legged bird standing in the sun, about to flap its wings and fly high, But its two legs were bound by the cloud-like patterns, unable to break free and fly.
Previously, Zhou Heng only felt strange and puzzled when he saw the relief on the screen wall, but this time he had a completely different feeling, and his eyes were shining with golden light.
The insights of comprehending the "Golden Crow God-Slaying Method" suddenly emerged, and the Golden Crow on the relief seemed to come alive all of a sudden, and began to struggle and tremble.
Then, a golden light rushed towards him, trying to cover Zhou Heng's entire body.
But Zhou Heng reacted very quickly, and his body shook and he dodged the golden light.
The golden light seemed to have not expected this situation, and it froze in mid-air for a while, not knowing whether it should continue to chase Zhou Heng or retreat directly and pretend that nothing happened.
"What is it?"
Zhou Heng frowned, hid aside, and looked at the golden light that suddenly rushed out of the screen wall with great vigilance.
He dared not touch this kind of thing of unknown origin rashly.
"I am your great opportunity!" A will came out of the golden light, very sincere.
"I don't believe it! "Zhou Heng shook his head.
"..."Jin Guang was silent for a moment. He had never seen such a situation before!
