Volume 1: Baiyujing of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 687: Visitors from Luochuan
The six cultivators looked slightly embarrassed, and the words of the young man echoed in their ears. They looked at each other and did not speak.
"Humph, is it the evil villain who did it again?"
Dong Longtou strode to Liu Xiaocheng, with a worried look on his face, took out a green pill from his arms, and stuffed it into Liu Xiaocheng's mouth.
With the help of several cultivators, Liu Xiaocheng slowly woke up.
Puff!
The descendant of the second emperor raised his head and spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes dim.
The main courtyard was silent, and the busy Longtou Association cultivators all stopped their actions. Under the red fire glow, the festive atmosphere of Qianlong Courtyard suddenly became depressed.
"It's Luo Chuan again."
"This move was really powerful. He beat Liu Xiaocheng, who was at the peak of the fourth level of Guixu, until he vomited blood."
"Haha, have you forgotten that night? Compared to that night, this is nothing."
The Dragon Head Association and the ordinary Qianlongyuan monks who helped to arrange the banquet were whispering. When talking about Luo Chuan, their tone was complicated. Most of the Qianlongyuan monks did not have too much anger or hatred. On the contrary, there was a hint of hidden awe in their tone.
"Luo Chuan?" At the main table, a dignified monastery disciple looked at Liu Xiaocheng with a bleak face and thought deeply: "Is he really only at the second level of Guixu? A second level of Guixu can seriously injure a fourth level of Guixu? It's interesting."
One of the six monks stood up and bowed to the disciple: "Hello, senior brother... Senior brother, that Luo Chuan, he is a fourth level of Guixu, a master who has comprehended the realm of extreme emptiness."
After the voice fell, the Dragon Head Association monks all showed strange expressions.
"Impossible!" Han Decheng, the big dragon head, looked ridiculous. He shook his head and said, "When he made trouble in Qianlongyuan that day, he was only at the second level of Guixu. I have fought with him. It is impossible to be wrong."
"Yes, he is indeed at the second level of Guixu, and I can also testify to it." Mo Yunfei, the second dragon head, swore.
"Hehe, we have all fought with him. Although he showed mercy, his cultivation is the fourth level of Guixu." Another of the six monks said.
The three dragon heads of the Dragon Head Association looked at each other, and there was a flash of shock and disbelief in their eyes. If what the senior brother of the monastery said is true, there are only two possibilities. One is that Luo Chuan concealed his strength that night, and he didn't even use 20% of his strength to break through Qianlongyuan. There is another possibility, which is more shocking than the previous possibility, and it is also the most unbelievable possibility... After that night, until today, he has risen two levels. From the second level of Guixu, he directly stepped into the ranks of the peak of the fourth level of Guixu!
It was only six or seven days...
The three dragon heads looked at each other solemnly, and unanimously ruled out the second possibility. Rather than believing that Luo Chuan had advanced two levels in six days, it would be better to admit that he had hidden his true strength that night. Although it was embarrassing, it was better than provoking an extraordinary monster.
After listening to the conversation between the big dragon head and the monk, many VIP monks fell silent. The Qinggong Banquet suddenly fell into a cold atmosphere.
After a while, a Guixu 4th-level disciple who was sitting at the center and obviously had a higher status and prestige than the others raised his head and said, "So, Luo Chuan is indeed a master. The Daoist Academy turned a blind eye to his actions. It must be because they saw his potential. But no matter what, he is not qualified to break the rules of Guangtian Pusheng. He has no right to do whatever he wants in Qianlong Academy. Don't worry, Han Daoyou, my senior brother Zhuo Laosheng will also come to the banquet tonight, and there will be many prospective masters from the four major Daoist academies. When the time comes, tell Senior Brother Zhuo about this, and Senior Brother Zhuo will definitely stand up for you."
When the three words "Zhuo Laosheng" sounded, there was a burst of discussion in the main courtyard, and the monks whispered to each other, especially the ordinary monks of Qianlong Academy were particularly excited.
Guangtian Pusheng has clear levels. Qianlong Academy is a preparatory disciple who has not been tested. The next level is the four major monasteries: Zhan Dao Academy, Xianzhi Dao Academy, Secret Dao Academy, and Fa Dao Academy. There are many departments in the four major academies. Only those who enter the four major monasteries can be considered as formal disciples of Guangtian Pusheng.
The disciples of the four major monasteries are roughly divided into ordinary disciples, first-class disciples, and core disciples according to their strength and the results of each assessment.
Above the core disciples, there is another type of disciples, called quasi-masters.
They are almost all the strongest and most outstanding people in the various academies who have ranked in the top few in the previous major examinations. They are not only powerful in cultivation, but also rich in knowledge of the Tao. After breaking through to the realm of the true Tao, they no longer need to participate in the difficult trials and assessments. They are directly recruited into the four major academies to assist the master in teaching the Tao. The limit is three years. After three years, they can be directly promoted to junior master.
For the disciples of the four major monasteries, the quasi-master is both a senior brother and a master of the Tao, and has a very high prestige among the disciples.
And Zhuo Laosheng is the top core disciple of the four major monasteries in the past few years. In every trial or assessment, he can almost stand out and at least enter the top three. He is known as a big test maniac.
It has only been two and a half years since he broke through the realm of the True Dao, but Master Zhuo still has some influence among the disciples of the four monasteries. Now he is also a quasi-master, so his prestige is naturally beyond words.
"Yes, if Senior Brother Zhuo and his friends come forward, no matter how arrogant that villain is, it will be useless. Senior Brother Zhuo is not only powerful, but also has participated in several foreign expeditions and is highly valued by the upper echelons of the Dao Academy." Dong Longtou looked coldly in the direction of the bamboo forest, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"In addition to Senior Brother Zhuo and his friends, Yuan Shitian, Qi Xinyue and other descendants of the emperor will also come." Mo Longtou smiled slightly and said loudly, trying his best to hide the pride in his tone.
"Oh? The three leaders are so proud! I heard that Fellow Daoist Yuan and Fellow Daoist Qi have just passed the first level of the Ten Thousand Demons Jue Tian Palace. They are very powerful. In addition, they come from a famous imperial family. They must be just and moral people who hate evil as much as they hate it. When the time comes, the three leaders can report the matter to them truthfully, and they will definitely not sit idly by."
A core monk of the monastery said with a smile, his eyes slightly warm.
Compared with the descendants of the emperor, whether they are the core monks of the four major monasteries or the seven descendants of the sub-emperor who have been in Guangtian Pusheng for many years, their status is quite different. The arrival of the emperor's descendants also made many VIP monks excited. After all, not everyone can have a relationship with an emperor.
"Let him be proud for a little longer." Han Decheng, the big leader, glanced in the direction of Zhuli, then turned his head and said with a smile: "Please wait a little longer until Brother Zhuo and the distinguished guests from Huadao Villa Here we are, it’s time for the banquet.”
The disciples from the four major monasteries nodded to express their understanding. Compared with Zhuo Laosheng, Yuan Shitian and others, they were far inferior in terms of status and consciously gave up the two top main tables.
The monks in Qianlongyuan were busy with their work happily again, patiently waiting for the arrival of the last two groups of distinguished guests. Among the crowd, only two of them were frowning.
Huang Wei frowned deeply, with an uneasy expression on his face. He glanced at Liu Yufa, who was immersed in his work, and whispered: "It's really unwise for Fellow Daoist Luo to choose to come back at this time."
"We can never guess what Fellow Daoist Luo is thinking." Liu Yufa raised his head and sighed quietly: "Even the descendants of the emperor dare to do heavy things. He is really fearless. Sometimes I really envy him for practicing Taoism. Only by being fearless can you go further than others.”
"But we also need to be wise to protect ourselves." Huang Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Now the entire Qianlong Courtyard is controlled by the Dragon Head Society. Even the quasi-masters of the four major monasteries and the descendants of the emperors of the Huadao Villa will side with the Dragon Head Society. If Fellow Daoist Luo gets into a fight with them, something big will happen! Each of their characters has a terrifying background that we can't imagine... No, we must inform Fellow Daoist Luo as soon as possible and ask him to leave immediately."
"Yes, leave as soon as possible. I will go with you."
Huang Wei and Liu Yufa carefully looked around, and then quietly walked towards the Bamboo Forest Lodge.
However, before they entered the bamboo forest hut, a sneer sounded from behind them.
"The two fellow Taoists are leaving in such a hurry, where are they going?"
Huang Wei and Liu Yufa turned around and saw a tall monk with a bloodless face and a limp. It was their former neighbor Gu Ying who lived on the third floor.
"Why are you still here?" Huang Wei asked with a frown. He had not seen Gu Ying since Luo Chuan deactivated his magic power that day.
"Why am I still here? Yes, why am I still here!" Gu Ying's face suddenly became ferocious and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you ask me why I am still here. My whole life of hard work has been in vain, except for this Where else can we go? To the outer world? Hahaha..."
"Did you join the Longtouhui?" Liu Yufa also frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Where else can we go besides Longtouhui? Where else can we take in a waste whose cultivation has been ruined?" Gu Ying, with a ferocious face, approached Huang and Liu step by step: "I know what you want to do. , I advise you not to waste your efforts anymore. The descendants of the emperor are coming to the banquet. When they hear about the evil deeds of the little thief named Luo, they will never spare the little thief. Even if he runs away tonight, he can run away. Where to go? Unless he leaves Guangtian Pusheng. Once he leaves Guangtian Pusheng and enters the outer realm, he will die... and you will be punished by the Dragon Head Council."
"You know the truth best. If it hadn't been for you, how could it have developed to this point today. You are the one who brought it upon yourself." Huang Wei shook his head and sighed.
"Hahaha, do you two really want to disobey me?" Gu Ying's eyes were cold, filled with anger and viciousness.
"Let's go." Liu Yufa turned around and walked straight to the bamboo forest without looking at Gu Ying.
"Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. You should take care of yourself." Huang Wei smiled faintly, turned around and followed Liu Yufa into the bamboo forest.
Soon the two of them came to the bamboo building where they lived. When they looked up, they were both startled when they saw bursts of laughter coming from the bamboo building and the sound of clinking wine vessels.
"Fellow Taoist Luo has a visitor?" Huang Wei was slightly surprised. During the days he spent with Luo Chuan, he had never seen any visitors except for the mysterious white-robed female Taoist.
