Chapter 242 Meeting Tai Heng Again

Chapter 242 Meeting Tai Heng Again
Sophora japonica forest!
The ten-mile journey was just a blink of an eye for Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan.

Arrived in the blink of an eye.

Standing outside the locust tree forest at this moment, looking at the shadows of the strange and rugged trees, I couldn't help but think of the story told by the group of thieves in Xishan.

For a moment, I couldn't help feeling strange.

Wu Qianhuan's eyes were deep, and she spoke softly:
"There really seems to be a maze hidden in this forest."

"Oh?"

Chu Qing's eyes lit up. He knew very little about battle formations, but Wu Qianhuan was taught by Master Ye Tan, and her master's inheritance was profound. It seemed that she also understood battle formations. He immediately asked:
"Maybe it can be cracked?"

"It's hard to say. We need to go deeper into it to understand what kind of formation it is."

Chu Qing immediately took Wu Qianhuan's hand:

"Then let's go in."

The two of them stepped into the forest and took only two steps forward when Wu Qianhuan said softly:

"Hold on."

Chu Qing immediately stopped and looked back at Wu Qianhuan. She looked around and after a moment, she picked up a stone from the ground and handed it to Chu Qing:
"Aim with your head and feet, and hit it twelve meters to your left. The force must penetrate through."

Chu Qing looked as he was told, but found that there was nothing there.

But he did not hesitate, he pinched the stone between his fingers and tossed it away.

There was a loud bang, and two locust trees suddenly appeared in the empty place. In the middle of the two trees, a pole was broken by Chu Qing's flying stone.

"That's the Xun position... The center of the formation belongs to wood, so that's it."

Wu Qianhuan smiled and said:

“Qing’er, this formation is not difficult to crack, it’s just a maze based on the Eight Diagrams.

“However, there are eight points in total.

"You have destroyed the center of the formation at the Xun position. If you want to completely break the formation, you only need to break three of the remaining seven positions, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Dui, Kan, Li and Gen. Then the remaining centers will be meaningless.

"It's just that the Eight Trigrams and the Five Elements are connected, and the remaining array points should also have corresponding objects."

Chu Qing couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this:
"What is the relationship between the Eight Trigrams and the Five Elements?"

"Xun and Zhen belong to wood, Li belongs to fire, Kun and Gen belong to earth, Kan belongs to water, Qian and Dui belong to metal.

"The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth to determine the directions. The east is wood, the south is fire, the west is gold, the north is water, and the land in the middle is earth."

Wu Qianhuan casually explained the most basic things to Chu Qing, and then said with a smile:

“It’s just that when you really put it into practice, just the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams is a lifetime of learning.

“There was no formation in my sect. It was when my master, Master Ye Tan, was traveling around the world in her early years that she accidentally received guidance from a master, and that’s when she got some knowledge of formations.

“The Five Elements and Eight Diagrams are one path, while the directions of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes are even more profound and complex.

"What I have learned is just the basics... If you are interested, I will teach you everything I know after we leave.

"But this method is boring, and there are many key points in it. I don't know if you are willing to learn it?"

"If you have the ability to teach me, why wouldn't I want to learn?"

Although Chu Qing said this, she thought of Wenrou again... As the eldest lady of Luochen Villa, she naturally had the opportunity to learn the formation.

However, as soon as I heard these things, I felt drowsy and ended up not learning anything.

The two chatted casually for a while and walked deep into the forest.

With Wu Qianhuan's guidance, the maze could not trap them, but they did not see any trace of the Blood Prince throughout their search.

Just as he was about to move forward, Chu Qing's ears moved slightly:
"Someone."

"Is that the Blood Prince you were talking about?"

Wu Qianhuan asked in a low voice.

Chu Qing frowned slightly:

"It doesn't look like... there's more than one person... over there."

He pointed in a direction, but he didn't see any human figure.

Obviously there is a maze blocking the way.

Wu Qianhuan glanced around and pointed in a direction. Chu Qing immediately picked up a flying stone and threw it out.

The sound broke through the wind, and several voices were heard in the distance:

"What's the noise?"

"Someone!"

"Watch out!"

As he was speaking, there was a snapping sound, and the object that served as the center of the formation was smashed into pieces by Chu Qing's flying stone.

Without any warning, several figures appeared in the distance.

Although it was already night time, thanks to the bright stars tonight, when the formation was broken, not only Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan saw each other, but the people on the opposite side also saw Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan.

However, this formation might have some soundproofing and visual illusion capabilities, so they did not hear any movement of Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan.

Only the sharp sound of breaking wind attracted their attention.

When the formation was broken, those people were horrified:

"The demon has appeared!"

"Suffer death!!"

In a hurry, a man was seen flying in the air, with a long sword in his hand full of sharp energy, heading straight for Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan.

Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan were both slightly stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the long sword in Wu Qianhuan's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and a full moon appeared behind him, buzzing... The moonlight was like a sword, and thousands of sharp edges suddenly rolled out from the full moon, like the cold water from the sky, which would cleanse the world in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my God!"

The man was obviously startled. It was true that he was a little excited, and it was also true that the sword was a little fast, but it was not necessary for him to use so much sword energy to attack him right away, right?
Immediately, the tip of the sword was raised, and the man walked up along with the sword.

This actually wasn't a problem for Wu Qianhuan. She only had to turn the tip of her sword and the sword energy in the full moon would fly over at an angle.

However, Chu Qing gently held down Wu Qianhuan's wrist, preventing her from killing him.

But even so, the man was still in a panic in the face of the sword energy. He raised the tip of the sword and barely avoided the sword force. He then hurriedly rolled in the air, used the sword tip to touch the sword energy, and used the recoil force generated to move his body away.

However, he underestimated the force of the recoil and smashed himself hard against the tree trunk, spitting out blood when he landed.

The sword didn't do anything to his opponent, but in trying to dodge the moonlight as sharp as a sword, he almost fell to his death.

"Amazing!!"

Another voice was heard, and then several figures were seen separating and reuniting, crossing the moonlight like swords and approaching.

Chu Qing frowned slightly and struck out with a palm.

Before several figures could get close, they were crushed by the palm force mixed with dragon roars. They all held long swords across their chests and stood in front of the palm, but were pushed back by the strong wind.

One of them lost his balance and fell on his back with a scream.

The two people beside him saw this and stepped back while reaching out to grab him.

The good news is that they were not dragged to the ground by this man... The bad news is that they dragged the man backwards... causing him to dig his legs:
"Let me go, let me go... the ground is cold... oh, there are stones!"

Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan looked at each other. Wu Qianhuan looked confused, wondering where these funny people came from.

Chu Qing recognized their martial arts, but he was even more confused... In his impression, this sect didn't look like this.

Seeing several people stabilize their bodies, their eyes were wandering. Chu Qing immediately took a step forward, clasped his fists and said:

"May I ask, are you from Tai Heng Sect?"

"Exactly!"

One of the women, who looked a bit older, swung her sword:
"Shan Lan, the eldest disciple of Zhou Wenmiao from Tai Heng Sect!
"This palm technique of yours... could it be from the Third Young Master of Crazy Blade?"

Chu Qing nodded slightly and acknowledged his identity:

"I dare not. It is me."

Shan Lan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the fellow apprentices around him. The fellow apprentices also looked at each other, and finally bowed their heads in silence...

Shan Lan gnashed with hatred and laughed dryly:
"Look at what you're saying... misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding.

"There seems to be a demon causing trouble in this forest, so we were ordered to go down the mountain to investigate, but unexpectedly, we ran into the Third Young Master.

“It’s just that before this, no one would have thought that they would meet him here, so when they saw him… they could not help but think that he was the evil person who was pretending to be a ghost.

"That's why I'm offending you..."

"……I see."

Chu Qing laughed:
"As the saying goes, there is no meeting without fighting..."

At this point, his tone was a little insufficient. "No fight, no acquaintance" refers to a fight between two evenly matched people... Now there is nothing wrong on my side, while the other side is in a mess... It seems a little unkind to say this.

But this is not important, he said softly:

"You are here for the people here? The two of us are here too, but we don't know. Have fellow Tai Hengmen people found anything so far?"

Shan Lan shook her head:

"This maze is easy to explain, but since I came here until now, I have never found any trace of him."

"If that's the case, how about we investigate together?"

"it is good."

Shan Lan nodded immediately.

Then he called his useless fellow apprentices over and met Chu Qing one by one.

But Chu Qing found that these people seemed a little taciturn.

Especially the one called Chen Buyu, he is useless even if you hit him with three sticks. Others are either curious about Chu Qing or care about him, and now that they see him, they can't help but chat with him.

Only Chen Buyu remained silent from beginning to end.

Chu Qing looked at Chen Buyu in confusion. Shan Lan noticed his gaze and said with a smile:

"What's wrong, Third Young Master?"

"Nothing... just a little curious."

What kind of parents would name their child 'Bu Yu'?
Why does this sound a bit weird?

This kind of question didn't seem to be the first time, so when Shan Lan heard Chu Qing speak, she knew what he was thinking. After hesitating for a while, she said:
"This name was not given by his parents...it was given by his master."

Chu Qing suddenly thought of someone...

Don't walk alone!
There must be a reason why the master named the child!
Chu Qing asked quickly:

"Why?"

Chen Buyu quickly grabbed Shan Lan's sleeve and shook his head repeatedly.

Shan Lan smiled, and before she could open her mouth, she heard the other disciples finish their conversation.

Sure enough, there is indeed a story behind this.

The reason why Chen Buyu's name was changed... is mainly because he is too talkative and has a bad mouth, so he easily offends people.

It is said that everything was fine when he was in the disciple's sect, until two groups of people had a conflict at the foot of the mountain, and the mediator could not settle it himself, so he went up to Taiheng Mountain and asked the masters on the mountain to come down for help.

This mission is not dangerous, as it concerns the reputation of Taiheng Sect.

So it doesn't matter who goes... In the end, they set their sights on Chen Buyu, who rarely goes down the mountain.

Chen Buyu went there happily and came back happily too.

His master thought the matter was settled, but when he asked more questions, he almost died of anger.

It was originally just a simple little friction, and to put it bluntly, the reason they didn't give up was because of face.

If the people from Taihengmen come down the mountain and help them mediate, they will have face when they talk about it in the future.

But the result was... this little friction, under Chen Buyu's strenuous persuasion, finally turned into a life-and-death feud.

The two sides fought for three days and three nights, but in the end there was no winner. However, they vowed never to give up, and the battle has continued to this day...

Even later when Chen Buyu's mentor came down the mountain himself, it was of no use.

There was a blood feud between the two parties before, but no one noticed it. It was only after Chen Buyu discovered it that things became like this.

It is said that Chen Buyu's master returned to the mountain and sat on a chair, and it took him a long time to recover.

If this kind of thing happens once it is a coincidence, if it happens twice it is an accident, but if it happens three... four times, five times... six times... then it is definitely not an accident.

This grandson's mouth is like a blessing!
His master simply changed his name to Chen Buyu and asked him to speak less from then on, especially in front of outsiders.

Otherwise, a normal person, who has neither good feelings nor ill will towards their Tai Heng Sect, might become a mortal enemy with the Tai Heng Sect under his instigation with a few words!

Wu Qianhuan was extremely delighted when she heard this... She had never heard of such a person in the world.

I feel like traveling around the world really broadens my horizons.

Chu Qing felt that Chen Buyu and Mo Duxing probably had a lot in common.

But in comparison, Mo Duxing is just pretending to be an expert, but Chen Buyu is really good at talking.

Chen Buyu listened in silence for a long time, and couldn't help but snorted:
"Fuss……"

These words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Wu Qianhuan immediately stopped laughing and began to reflect on whether he had gone too far.

Chu Qing suddenly realized:
"This voice... the one who started calling us monsters, was it you?"

After these words were spoken, several fellow disciples around Chen Buyu suddenly reacted.

"Yes, it's you, kid!"

"If you hadn't said that he was a monster, how could we have rashly attacked the Third Young Master?"

"I was beaten just now because of you!"

"What else are you talking about? Beat him!"

Several people immediately pinned Chen Buyu to the ground and beat him up, especially the one who was dragged backwards and had his crotch almost worn out. He was furious and became extremely vicious.

Shan Lan stood aside awkwardly, wanting to stop the fight but not knowing where to start. She could only smile dryly and said to Chu Qing:
"Well...my fellow disciples are still young. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Third Young Master."

Chu Qing waved his hand:
“I have heard of the great name of Tai Heng Sect for a long time, but now that I have seen it, I feel that hearing about it is not as good as meeting it in person.

"This sect's style is so harmonious, no wonder Tai Heng Sect can be ranked among the top five sects."

Shan Lan thought about it for a while and felt relieved that Chu Qing was not with Yin Yang and the others.

Afterwards, they pulled the fighting disciples apart, and the group searched the locust tree forest together.

I searched up and down, front and back, and finally only found a letter.

There were a few words written on the letter in a beautiful yet inexplicably wild handwriting: From the Third Young Master himself!
