One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 434: The Real Man Feasts for Demons and Ghosts to Appreciate the Mist
What does Wenxun look like?
Wen Xun's appearance has never changed in Zhao Fuyun's heart, like a quiet little flower that can be seen at the door beside the road and in the deep mountains, but it is not brilliant.

She is the kind of ordinary little wild flower that can be seen everywhere, by the roadside, in the corners of walls, and in the fields between mountains.

It may be picked by anyone at any time, eaten by wild beasts at any time, and trampled at any time. It is so inconspicuous and unimportant.

But now Wen Xun has actually reached the level of Purple Mansion cultivation.

To cultivate the Purple Mansion, one needs to have one's mind and will reach a certain state of satisfaction. Many people set a goal for themselves in their hearts, but either the goal is too small, and after the goal is achieved, the will is not able to enable them to open the mansion, or the goal is too high and is never completed.

At this moment, Wen Xun was like a flower that had completed some kind of class promotion, emitting a faint glow. Although still thin, it was more bright and beautiful.

"Brother." She took a few quick steps forward and came to Zhao Fuyun and called out, but then stopped immediately: "Brother, you..."

Zhao Fuyun smiled. At this moment, his temperament looked completely different from his original self, and his body was khaki in color.

Wen Xun had a puzzled look in his eyes, while Zhao Fuyun smiled and said, "Junior Sister Wen Xun, long time no see. This body of mine is not my original body."

The trace of nervousness on Wen Xun's face still remained. She knew very well that it was extremely difficult even for a Jindan cultivator to change bodies. It would definitely come at a huge price. She was afraid that Zhao Fuyun had been injured in the darkness and had to change his body.

"Don't worry. Do you remember the secret realm we entered in this lake? There I obtained a Xuan Cai Pearl, and I used it to refine my second Yuan Ying."

As soon as Zhao Fuyun finished speaking, Wen Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and even Wen Bo, who was following behind him, breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he had seen such a big change in Zhao Fuyun's appearance before, he was also worried, but he didn't dare to ask. He hadn't seen him for so many years, and he didn't know whether Zhao Fuyun's temperament had changed.

Wen Xun laughed even more happily.

At that moment, the three of them sat down in the courtyard of the small temple.

Zhao Fuyun looked at this still simple courtyard, as if he had returned to the past, but this courtyard seemed to blend with Wen Xun's aura. This courtyard was simple, peaceful and quiet.

Sitting here, he could feel Wen Xun's inner world, which was so peaceful.

Just like the feeling this small courtyard gives people, even though the Jiuqu Fog River is flowing outside and even though there are monsters and ghosts lurking in the surrounding woods, the courtyard of this small temple is safe and clean.

The three of them sat here quietly and talked about the past. At first, Zhao Fuyun listened to them talking about what had happened in Wuze County over the years, and then listened to her talk about her own growth in cultivation.

Her growth was not all smooth sailing. There had been great demons passing by, and she had encountered several dangerous situations. When she went in search of the Tiangang Spirit Dew, it was also difficult. But when she talked about it, those experiences were like the brilliant light on her life path, without a single cloud.

Only then did Zhao Fuyun realize that this was a quiet and optimistic girl. Her appearance was not considered pretty among the monks, but Zhao Fuyun felt that she was a real monk.

In other words, she is not a cultivator. She has integrated spiritual practice with her life here. No wonder she can be so successful in the Red Flame Temple and meet the conditions for opening a mansion and do so smoothly.

They talked until late at night, and finally Wen Xun and Wen Bo stopped and looked at Zhao Fuyun. They really wanted to know what Zhao Fuyun had experienced over the years.

Zhao Fuyun was also recalling what he had experienced and done over the years.

So he slowly told his experience, but if he wanted to talk about his experience in detail, it would take days and nights to finish, so he could only give a brief account.

Despite this, he talked for a whole day and night.

Both Wen Xun and Wen Bo were amazed at Zhao Fuyun's experiences. In their opinion, if they were in Zhao Fuyun's shoes, they would have died the moment he entered the darkness. Moreover, they had only heard about the mysteries and terrors of the darkness before, but now there was someone who had experienced it firsthand in front of them.

"It turns out that those scary monsters and demons in the polar night are real. It's amazing that you were able to come back safely." Wen Xun expressed his sincere admiration.

Outside the small temple, many people gathered during this period of time. After the news of Zhao Fuyun's return spread, the entire Wuze County was quietly boiling.

Although the three words "Zhao Fuyun" stay here for a short time, they carry a lot of weight.

People in this area originally have a short lifespan. Raising ghosts, poisonous insects, and zombies are not methods of longevity. They are just some unorthodox methods that can give people the ability to walk in the mountains and forests for a short period of time and make people proficient in a certain skill, but they will damage one's own vitality and blood, making one age quickly.

There used to be an unwritten rule here that in a family, only one person was best at practicing these techniques. Of course, there were also young people who were yearning for the techniques and thus forced themselves to practice them. This often resulted in a family without descendants.

Therefore, the population of the entire Wuze County has been difficult to grow over the years. Not only is the living environment here harsh, but it is also due to the practice of these unorthodox methods.

But if you don't practice these, it will be more difficult to survive, because a ghost or some "snake fairies" or "fox fairies" in the mountains and forests are enough to ruin an entire family.

However, after Zhao Fuyun arrived, the brother and sister Wenxun and Bai settled here. One was the county magistrate and the other was a teacher. They passed on the orthodox Qi-refining method to Wu County, so the lifespan here also increased a little.

Therefore, there are people who had seen Zhao Fuyun in the past who are still alive today. After knowing that Zhao Fuyun had returned here, they came uninvited and gathered at the foot of the mountain. No one knew what they were waiting for at the foot of the mountain, or whether they were looking forward to meeting Zhao Fuyun.

Back then, Zhao Fuyun set fire to the small courtyard and burned all the corpses, ghosts, and insects in the county. The noise was so loud that it shocked people at that time. Later generations had only heard of it but had never seen Zhao Fuyun's style back then.

Moreover, Zhao Fuyun had such demeanor in his past. Now, nearly a hundred years have passed, and they also want to see how powerful Zhao Fuyun has become.

Zhao Fuyun could observe the whole interior and exterior of the hillside with just a thought, so he naturally knew all this a long time ago, but he did not care.

When he asked about Wen Xun, he discovered that she actually opened her mansion with thunder and fire, which surprised Zhao Fuyun. He didn't expect that with her calm temperament, the method she practiced was so violent.

But on second thought, Wen Xun appears gentle and calm on the outside, but is actually strong and tough on the inside. From the time she was able to stay here after reaching the Xuan Guang cultivation level, to building her foundation, and then to opening her Purple Mansion, she has never thought of leaving. This shows her determination, and once she has made a decision, she will never waver.

"When you have time, come back to Tiandu Mountain and I will teach you a method in person." Zhao Fuyun said. His thoughts were naturally connected with his original body. What he was thinking now were all his own thoughts. However, the method he wanted to teach was the Golden Crow Dharma, which he needed to demonstrate in front of her personally, so he asked her to go back to Tiandu Mountain when she had time.

She naturally happily agreed. What's more, the method she practiced was just an ordinary method of Tiandu Mountain. Although it was better than other methods of practice in the world, it was not special.

Zhao Fuyun also asked her whether there were any evil spirits invading the surrounding mountains and forests after she had been here for many years.

She said that, relying on the reputation of Tiandu Mountain, she would not provoke them. If they came to provoke her, she would endure it if she could, and she would be able to keep to herself.

When Zhao Fuyun heard this, he knew that this was not a long-term solution. Although those monsters and ghosts were afraid of the reputation of Tiandu Mountain, if they never showed their power in front of them, some of them would inevitably make trouble.

He couldn't help but think, "I came here this time, so I should leave some thoughts here. How about holding a banquet in the name of Wu Ze and inviting all the mountain monsters and ghosts within a hundred miles to come and meet on this Jiuqu Wu River?"

Although Zhao Fuyun was asking, Wen Xun and Wen Bo would never object. Wen Bo just asked, "There must be a reason for inviting the demons to meet."

Zhao Fuyun raised his head slightly, looked at the dark sky, and said: "The most beautiful thing in the world should be appreciated and cherished together with demons and ghosts, that is, to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the misty marsh."
