Chapter 245: Liuxu

"Is there underground magma under the canyon?"

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

Elder Xiong said: "The depths of the canyon lead directly to the ground, and there is magma flowing across it, so the climate in the valley is warm and it is like spring all year round."

Fang Zhixing understood and controlled the locust monster to dive down and land at the mouth of the valley.

Four people jumped down.

Fang Zhixing waved to the locust monster and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work along the way. Go now."

The locust monster hesitated for a moment, slowly turned around, and flapped its wings away.

It should have less than half a day of life left.

Fang Zhixing just let it fend for itself.

"Sir, this way please."

Elder Cui nodded and bowed, taking the initiative to lead the way.

Only then will you know that there is nothing wrong with doing it.

The group of four passed through the mountain gate and entered the canyon along a winding road.

The scenery inside the valley is completely different from that outside the valley. It resembles a tropical rainforest, stuffy and hot.

The towering trees soar into the clouds, their lush green leaves are full of vitality, and their huge crowns are like a green sky.

There are also various exotic flowers and plants, countless species of insects and birds, and the sound of birds and fragrance of flowers are everywhere, forming a colorful primitive jungle world.

Fang Zhixing was there and smelled the fragrant aroma of vegetation in the air.

The four of them walked forward for a while, and Fang Zhixing suddenly heard the sound of running water.

A small river soon came into view.

Wisps of white mist rose from the surface of the river, spreading to both sides of the river, lingering like a fairyland.

Continue walking forward and you will reach the upper reaches of the river.

Fang Zhixing looked up and saw hot springs dotted across the land.

The hot spring is steaming and bubbling.

Several beautiful white deer stood by the hot spring, lowered their heads to drink water, and occasionally made a few calls, giving people a feeling of comfort and leisure.

Suddenly, a group of monkeys jumped out of the woods and fell into the water.

The white deer were frightened and turned around and ran towards a slope.

There is a wide stone staircase on the slope leading from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

Fang Zhixing raised his eyes and immediately saw a corner of the eaves exposed on the top of the slope.

"Hero, we're here!"

Elder Cui pointed to the top of the slope and quickened his pace.

Fang Zhixing was not in a hurry. He looked around first before going up the stairs.

Arrive at the top of the slope.

In an instant, a huge palace stood before Fang Zhixing.

There was a plaque hanging on the gate with three big characters written on it: Liuxu Palace!

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Isn't it the Liuxu Sect?"

Elder Cui quickly explained: "My hero, you don't know that the founder of my Liuxu Sect is a rich young man.

It is rumored that he met a strange man by chance, and learned the true skills from the strange man, thus acquiring peerless martial arts.

In order to repay that extraordinary man, the ancestor spent a huge amount of money to build a magnificent palace in this Burning Canyon, specifically for his secluded residence.

Later, the strange man left, and the founder moved in, founded a sect, and recruited many disciples, which led to the current Liuxu Sect. "

Fang Zhixing understood and couldn't help asking, "When did the founder of the sect establish the school?"

"Well..."

Elder Cui hesitated for a moment, then replied seriously, "The library of Liuxu Palace was destroyed by a fire, which resulted in the burning of many books and materials, including those about the founder. It is inferred that Liuxu Palace was first built during the reign of Emperor Jiayuan, which is at least six hundred years ago."

"Six hundred years..."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Tianyin once said that he was a thousand-year-old monster, and it seems that he was not bragging.

The lifespan of celestial beings is really long.

They are even beyond all rules, able to see eternity and look up and down at the heaven and earth.

As they were talking, a group of people walked into Liuxu Palace.

Looking around, one can see the magnificent palace with numerous buildings arranged in an orderly manner, winding corridors and secluded paths.

The painted buildings, carved beams, waterside pavilions, singing stages, every brick and tile are extremely gorgeous, revealing an extraordinary atmosphere.

Fang Zhixing lowered his head and found that the road under his feet was paved with white marble, like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

The roadside is lined with green trees and decorated with all kinds of exotic flowers and rocks, which are dazzling and pleasing to the eye.

Soon, they turned into a corridor.

The carvings in the corridors are intricate and lifelike, covering all kinds of exotic beasts that exist in reality, as well as legendary mythical beasts and ferocious beasts.

The four of them came to the end of the corridor and passed through an arched door.

When Fang Zhixing looked up, an elegant attic appeared in front of him.

Whether it is the stone pillars or carvings under the eaves, they all show traces of erosion by time, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere everywhere.

A rectangular plaque was placed above the head, with three powerful characters written in a flamboyant style: Tingmo Pavilion.

The two elders Xiong and Cui and the young man in white rushed into the attic first.

Fang Zhixing stopped and waited patiently.

After a while, the young man in white returned, extended his hand respectfully, made a gesture of invitation, and said loudly: "Sir, the sect leader invites you."

Fang Zhixing walked into the attic, and the hall that came into view was very spacious and empty, a bit like the Main Hall of Buddhism.

At the deepest part of the hall stood a tall statue of a god, with many candles placed beneath it, all lit and burning.

Seeing this situation, Fang Zhixing felt that this scene was particularly familiar.

He thought about it carefully and suddenly shuddered.

"Red Pine Villa!"

Fang Zhixing once went to Hongsong Villa and massacred everyone in the villa.

There is also a similar hall in that villa, enshrining a mysterious stone statue.

Fang Zhixing's emotions were in turmoil as he carefully examined the statue, which was over six meters tall and had the silhouette of a beautiful woman.

The statue has his left hand behind his back, his right hand pinched into a orchid finger, his head lowered, and his eyes seeming half asleep and half awake. He looks a bit like a Bodhisattva with his eyebrows lowered, and has a sense of sacred compassion.

At this moment, there were three figures standing under the statue.

In addition to the two elders Xiong and Cui, there was also an old man with a gray beard wearing a black robe.

The old man was of medium build, with an ordinary appearance, slightly cloudy eyes, and looked very old and decadent.

"Cough, cough~"

The old man looked at Fang Zhixing and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly started coughing.

The cough was so severe that my waist was bent.

Fang Zhi walked forward and couldn't help frowning.

After a while, the old man with gray beard wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a folded hand: "I am Fan Zhenglun, the leader of Liuxu Sect. May I know your identity?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "I am Fang Zhixing, a wandering man in the world."

Fan Zhenglun smiled and said, "Master Fang, I have heard about the incident. You killed five giant soldiers and saved three of my disciples from the Liuxu Sect. I am very grateful to you."

At this point, he seemed unwilling to talk more, and suddenly changed the subject and asked quickly: "However, I heard from them that you claimed to be a disciple of my Liuxu Sect. What's going on?"

Fang Zhixing took out the black jade token and threw it over.

Fan Zhenglun took it in his hand, took a closer look, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he was deeply moved.

The old man became excited, waved his hand, and ordered: "You go down first."

Xiong and Cui looked at each other, bowed and left without any hesitation.

Fan Zhenglun asked with his chest heaving, "You, are you that strange man?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Yes, I am the direct disciple of that strange man. He sent me here."

Fan Zhenglun choked and blurted out, "It's been more than 600 years, and he's still alive?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fang Zhixing sighed and said in a complicated tone: "Yes, that strange man is still alive and well."

Fan Zhenglun was shocked, his face full of disbelief and amazement.

He said with emotion: "Although I have heard about the deeds of that strange man from the previous sect leader, I have always been skeptical. I even doubted whether that strange man really existed. I didn't expect that everything was true."

Fang Zhixing glanced at the statue and asked, "In your records, is my master a woman?"

Fan Zhenglun blinked and asked in surprise: "Isn't it?"

Fang Zhixing thought to himself, "As expected."

It seems that Tianyin six hundred years ago was really a woman.

The two of them sat on the cushions under the statue.

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then said, "Please tell me about the Liuxu Sect. To be honest, I'm from another place and I don't know anything about you."

Fan Zhenglun continued, "My Liuxu Sect is in Danzhou, ranked among the top ten sects, and is well-known. It has been passed down to me for the fifth generation. According to seniority, you should be my great-grandmaster uncle."

Having said that, the old man had no intention of kneeling down to show his respect.

After all, strength is everything! Fan Zhenglun's cultivation and experience are superior, and even though Fang Zhixing is of a higher generation, he is not qualified to make him kneel down.

Fang Zhixing's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Since the Six Void Sect is so famous and powerful, why did those five giant soldiers dare to harm people recklessly on your territory?"

As soon as this question came out! Fan Zhenglun's face turned ugly, and he sighed: "I dare not deceive the Grandmaster Uncle. My Liuxu Sect has always adhered to the ancestral teachings, living in seclusion and avoiding trouble.

For many years, we have lived in seclusion in the Zhuoyan Grand Canyon, almost isolated from the outside world. We have not had any major conflicts with the outside world and have always lived in peace and harmony.

About ten years ago, an old friend sent me a letter saying that one of his friends adopted a girl. Because the girl was very beautiful and often got into trouble, he wanted to send her to me for protection.

My old friend asked me for help, and I didn’t think much about it, so I took the girl into the Liuxu Sect to train her.

And that’s where the disaster started!”

The old man mentioned the girl with a sad face, and shook his head, saying, "The girl gradually grew up and became more and more beautiful. Even though our Liuxu Sect is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the news about her still spread out, attracting the attention of many perverts."

He counted on his fingers and said, "In Danzhou, besides the four great families, there are also some big figures who are even more unapproachable, and they are the royal relatives.

The most honorable and powerful person in Danzhou, he has multiple identities. He is not only the governor of the state, but also a vassal king, the King of Chi'an, and a member of the royal family.

The son of King Chi'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, heard about the stunning beauty of my apprentice and was so astonished that he wanted to marry her by force.

My apprentice was unwilling to marry the Crown Prince and become his concubine, which angered him."

Fang Zhixing understood immediately, and suddenly realized: "So, right now, His Royal Highness is constantly putting pressure on the Liuxu Sect to force your disciple to marry him, right?"

Fan Zhenglun nodded repeatedly and sighed, "His Royal Highness is extremely arrogant, so he would not personally do this kind of thing, but his subordinates are eager to work for him.

In order to curry favor with Prince Chi'an and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, various forces have been stirring up trouble and doing everything they can to harass our Liuxu Sect.

Alas, if I were ten or twenty years younger, I wouldn’t be afraid of them, but…”

Fang Zhixing asked curiously: "What is your cultivation level?"

Fan Zhenglun replied: "The peak of the Nine Ox Realm."

"Where is King Chi'an?"

"He is naturally in the Hundred Bull Realm, suppressing an entire state, and is extremely powerful and invincible."

"What about the four great clans? How high is the strongest cultivation level?"

"The strongest men of the four major clans are all at the peak of the Nine Ox Realm, and their cultivation is comparable to mine, but their physiques are naturally superior, and their strengths are all above mine."

Fang Zhixing understood, and the doubts in the depths of his pupils were immediately swept away.

The background of the aristocratic family was finally uncovered by him.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "Since I'm here, the affairs of the Liuxu Sect are my business."

He said seriously: "Master said that with my talent, as long as the Six Void Sect supports me wholeheartedly, I will soon be able to break through to the peak of the Nine Ox Realm."

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhenglun's expression changed, and he took a deep breath and said, "Grandmaster, please measure the resources of the Liuxu Sect and please the Grandmaster Uncle."

"good!"

Fang Zhixing smiled with satisfaction, and said without further ado, "Call the masters of the Liuxu Sect first. I want to meet them."

Fan Zhenglun also had the same idea, and immediately shouted outside the door: "Someone come."

Xiong and Cui, as well as the young man in white, walked in together.

Fan Zhenglun's expression became serious, and he ordered, "Call all the elders into the hall to discuss matters immediately."

"yes!"

The three elders surnamed Xiong hurriedly took orders and left.

After a while, figures walked into the hall one after another. A few were old men with unsteady steps, most were middle-aged people, and there were also a few who looked very young.

Fan Zhenglun asked, "Are all the people here?"

Elder Xiong replied, "Except for your beloved disciple who is in seclusion, Elder Han who is bedridden is also here!"

Hearing this, Fang Zhixing glanced at them and counted them. There were thirty-one of them in total.

There are as many as thirty-five masters of the Nine Ox Realm in the Liuxu Sect, including Fan Zhenglun.

“This number is really not small!”

Fang Zhixing nodded secretly. Within the core power area of ​​a state, masters of the Nine Ox Realm were indeed emerging in large numbers.

In the Liuxu Sect alone, the number of people in the Jiuniu Realm is more than three times that of Xiahe County.

Fan Zhenglun looked at everyone and introduced them, "This is Senior Fang Zhixing. He is the founder of the Liuxu Sect. From today on, you will see him as you see me."

"Uncle Grandmaster?!"

The elders looked at each other, confused.

Where did this great master come from?

But Fan Zhenglun has been in charge of Liuxu Palace for many years and his majesty is as high as the sky, so no one dares to question him to his face.

"Greetings to Grandmaster Uncle!"

No matter who Fang Zhixing is, everyone bows to him first.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "No need to be polite."

Next, Fan Zhenglun introduced the elders one by one to Fang Zhixing.

Fang Zhixing soon discovered that among the thirty-one Nine Ox Realm cultivators present, only fourteen were at or above the middle stage of the Nine Ox Realm.

Experts are indeed scarce...
