Chapter 256: Sudden
Among the martial arts that Zhou Heng has learned, no martial arts can compare with the Zhu Zi Jian Jue in terms of magical effects.
not a single one.
Even the fragments of the third-grade Tiantian Purple Thunder Sword Technique are only extremely powerful attack moves and do not really involve the deep-level rules of the great avenue.
The Three Heavenly Palms is also in a similar situation.
Although this secret skill is the foundation of the "Heaven-shaking Seal" and is extremely powerful. If you practice it to a high level, it can even "shatter the world to pieces", but in the end it is just an offensive method.
The strength of the Zhuzi Sword Technique is that it is not only the supreme swordsmanship, but also has the supreme magical effect. It involves the way of time and is unpredictable. It can be said to be the top among the top among the fourth-level secret arts.
Zhou Heng couldn't wait to start studying the Zhuzi Sword Technique.
"You are studying the martial arts "Zhu Zi Sword Technique" [Jue 4th Grade]. Because you have a low-level foundation of similar martial arts, the difficulty of studying is reduced. You only feel that you have some enlightenment in your heart, but you feel that it is mysterious and difficult to understand, and you cannot understand it. Understand, proficiency not gained.”
…
"Congratulations! You continue to study the martial arts "Zhuzi Sword Technique" [Fourth Grade], triggering the 'Tiandao Rewards Diligence' reward. I finally have an understanding in my heart, and my proficiency +0.00000000001."
…
When Zhou Heng saw the first prompt to reward proficiency, he stopped studying the Zhuzi Sword Technique.
Because it is obvious that with his current level of cultivation, it is simply impossible to learn this secret skill through normal methods, unless he can achieve enlightenment again.
Moreover, Cheng Jiangjian had also come out of Ziwei Palace at this time.
Having just become the official of the Big Dipper, she was in high spirits, with a bright and beautiful face full of joyful smiles. Seeing Zhou Heng waiting here, she was even more happy.
"Uncle Junior, I kept you waiting for a long time." Cheng Jiangjian smiled sweetly, came to Zhou Heng's side, and said with a smile: "I heard from the senior Five Emperors that you were resting in your hometown before, and you came here specially this time. of?"
"Well, I received a message from the senior of the Five Emperors." Zhou Heng nodded gently and said with a smile.
"I heard that an authorized martial arts gym of Chunyang Palace has been established over there." Cheng Jiangjian smiled and said, "Can I go back with you to take a look?"
"Of course it's possible." Zhou Heng said with a smile: "If you, the third most popular 'Jade Sky Immortal', come personally, the martial arts hall will definitely be overcrowded."
"My junior uncle is already sixth on the list." Cheng Jiangjian ate a piece of candy and handed another to Zhou Heng, "Little junior uncle, what else?"
"It's very sweet." Zhou Heng took the candy and put it in his mouth, and said, "By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you. There will be a Chaoyang Reception in Zhongzhou Imperial City on February 2nd..."
Afterwards, he told Cheng Jiangjian some of the circumstances of the Chaoyang Reception and Yan Shouyi's words, and explained that he already had an invitation here.
"Chaoyang Reception, I'm very interested in the young masters of Taixu Temple!" Cheng Jiangjian's eyes were bright and her fighting spirit was strong, and she said with her head: "I will definitely attend, this is definitely a breakthrough for the seventh-grade peak bottleneck. good chance."
"That's right." Zhou Heng nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "That's what I had in mind, to see if there is a chance to break through the innate realm and be promoted to the sixth level of Secret through the Chaoyang Reception."
…
This morning.
Yun Xiu woke up from his sleep, looking slightly dazed.
She opened the curtains, looked at her parents who were preparing breakfast outside, lowered her head and showed a warm smile.
The feeling of home makes her feel warm.
Under the meticulous care of her parents, she felt as if she had returned to her carefree childhood, where she didn't need to worry about anything or worry about anything.
Very comfortable.
But Yunxiu also knew that after today's breakfast, he would say goodbye to his parents.
In her dream last night, she met her master He Mengqiu.
The new year has passed and a new practice is about to begin.
"Xiu'er, we're here for dinner." Yun Xiu's mother's voice came from outside.
"Hey, here we come!" Yun Xiu responded in a crisp voice.
…
Unlike the rush when he left, Zhou Heng's journey back with Cheng Jiangjian was quite pleasant and leisurely.
The speed is naturally not fast either.
When the two returned to Huangtong Fucheng, it was already dusk.
Along the way, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian talked about some things that had happened in the past two months, and Cheng Jiangjian also talked about some things about herself.
In fact, she is not from Daqi, but from a small family in Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Because he had been weak since birth and often fell ill, his parents searched for doctors everywhere to no avail. Fortunately, they finally found Qi Rui, who was already the master of Yuqiong Peak, through connections, and asked Qi Rui to take his daughter as his disciple.
Since then, Cheng Jiangjian has never seen her parents again.
She was only five years old at that time.
Gradually, her memory of her parents' voices and smiles became a little blurry. She only remembered that when she was sick as a child, she would take medicine and get acupuncture and cry out because of the pain, so her parents would give her sweets.
It’s sweet, so I won’t cry anymore.
The "problem" of being afraid of pain and eating sweets seems to be left over from that time.
As for the current whereabouts of her parents and whether she had gone to find her parents, Zhou Heng did not take the initiative to ask.
Because he could feel that Cheng Jiangjian was deliberately avoiding talking about these things.
Maybe there is another hidden meaning.
…
The dusk is dim and the clouds are burning with red clouds.
Snow has just fallen in Huangtong Mansion today, and there is still snow on both sides of the road. Icicles hang from the upright tung trees, which are crystal clear under the sunlight.
Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian were both riding horses, walking slowly facing the sunset.
Envy others.
"Where does Jiang Jian want to live?" Zhou Heng looked at the sky and asked the fairy beside him: "On one side is the rental house you have seen before, and on the other side is the large mansion that the government office has allocated to me to live in, but that one has not been cleaned up yet."
After fighting side by side in the demon spirit world and chatting along the way, the two of them became more familiar with each other, and his address naturally changed from "Miss Cheng" to "Jiang Jian".
"Let's go to the rental house." Cheng Jiang Jian said with a smile: "It's more familiar there."
Zhou Heng had already told her about the large mansion before.
There are probably people from the Illusionary Method or the Sun God Palace watching there. Living there may not be dangerous, but it is obviously not a good choice.
Zhou Heng's proposal was actually just to prevent someone in the Huangtong Prefecture from eavesdropping on their conversations and to cover up their tracks.
In fact, they had already discussed where to live on the way here.
Both of them are at the top of the seventh rank, and can use meditation to refine qi instead of sleeping. They just need a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Even if they live in the same room, there is nothing embarrassing.
"Hey, Zhou Heng! I was wondering why you weren't at home!"
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the two of them, laughing and shouting: "So you went horseback riding with Miss Xiu'er."
Before he finished speaking, the man chased after him from behind and circled to the front. It was Yu He.
Yu He was about to speak, but when he saw Cheng Jiangjian, he swallowed the words on his lips.
He looked at Zhou Heng in astonishment, with a look of shock on his face, and lowered his voice and said: "Fuck, it's not Miss Xiu'er, who is this?"
He hadn't seen Cheng Jiangjian.
"Miss Xiu'er?" Cheng Jiangjian looked at Zhou Heng after hearing this.
I originally planned to update two chapters in one go, but I deleted and revised them when I was writing, so only this chapter is left. The next chapter will be updated during the day.
