Chapter 158: Marriage Contract

Dragon Cave pine waves, long rainbow autumn clear.

High cliffs piercing the sky, ancient trees lush and green—

Since leaving the hall where Cui Jingzhong lived.

What Chen Hang saw along the way was a scene of elegant and refined scenery, like a painting by a master, with cinnabar cliffs, green pavilions, lush forests, and bamboo.

It was exactly:

Yellow flowers and red trees thanking the fragrant path, palaces staggered west of the black mountain.

The palace groups were scattered and intertwined, deep and solemn, looking up from afar, one could see the stone platform high and cool, and the smoke, light, trees, and shade were all clear and wonderful, quiet and deep.

At the ten-thousand-zhang mid-heaven above his head.

A crystal-clear twelve-aperture treasure pearl shone brightly, driving away the nether gloom and turbid barriers, making half the sky brilliant and dazzling.

According to Cui Jingzhong, because the Earth Abyss has no sun, moon, or stars.

This pearl was specifically set in the sky by the Zhenjun so that the servants and maids in Jin Gu Cave could harmonize the Yin and Yang Qi in their bodies, making their minds tireless, allowing them to continue orthodox cultivation without being disturbed by turbid barriers.

At the highest point in the field of vision was a vast palace with a simple and strange style.

The palace body was covered with thousands of seven-grade lotus statues burned from glazed bricks, its vastness and majesty pressing the surrounding mountains and jade buildings into darkness, completely unable to compete.

In front of the palace, there was a hundred-zhang-high golden drum, like a small sun deeply embedded, with an extremely majestic and solemn atmosphere.

Chen Hang looked over.

He saw that on the surface of the golden drum, a ghost and god with three heads and twelve arms and a terrifying appearance was clearly carved.

It was just like a living creature, running and struggling everywhere on the drum surface, as if wanting to break the golden drum and return to the world.

But no matter how the ghost and god raged and hammered, it was just trapped in the golden drum, unable to escape.

He was slightly surprised to see this scene and wanted to look closer.

At this moment, he felt his eyes stinging like needles, and he had to turn his head away, withdrawing his gaze.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Chen, that palace is where the Zhenjun closes his retreat. How is it? Is the atmosphere extraordinary for the first time?"

Cui Jingzhong laughed:

"As for the golden drum placed in front of the palace, do you know its origin?"

"Is it related to the Yellow Pus Great Ghost and God?" Chen Hang said.

"Not bad."

Cui Jingzhong nodded when he heard this, and a rare trace of inexplicable unbearable meaning flashed across his face, which was usually smiling.

He stared fixedly at the golden drum.

After a long time, he shook his head heavily and told Chen Hang a story.

Before Qiao Yubi entered the Earth Abyss.

There was a great giant among the Zhao cultivators who ravaged the Earth Abyss, commanding millions of ghosts and generals, establishing a nether ghost country, and even several times led troops to attack out of the Earth Abyss, looting secular populations, with great momentum.

That Zhao cultivator giant was the Yellow Pus Great Ghost and God.

Outside the Earth Abyss.

The Five Light Sect and Fire God Cliff near this exit cave could not restrict it, could not face it head-on, and only guarded the mountain gate to the death.

Later, the matter became big, causing an elder of the Yuchen Sect to come forward, and the ghost disaster stopped slightly.

However, the Yellow Pus Great Ghost and God ultimately had deep cultivation.

Although the elder of the Yuchen Sect shattered his nether ghost country, he ultimately failed to achieve success in one battle and kill him, only injuring him without killing him.

After the elder of the Yuchen Sect left for some reason.

The Yellow Pus Great Ghost and God returned to his old ways, broke the retreat, and gathered the old parts that had been scattered and separated, reorganizing his troops.

Even Mountain Pot Duke and Flying Flower Granny were the old subordinates of this great ghost and god.

And Cui Jingzhong's parents were both cultivators looted to the Earth Abyss. Shortly after giving birth to Cui Jingzhong, they were swallowed and killed by the ghosts and gods.

And if Qiao Yubi hadn't entered the Earth Abyss, he would only have become fresh meat in the mouths of ghosts and gods...

"The Zhenjun is benevolent, saving millions of people, and killed the Yellow Pus Great Ghost and God with one sword. It is truly boundless divine power!"

Cui Jingzhong sighed, pointed to the golden drum, and said:

"Now the primordial spirit of the Yellow Pus Great Ghost and God is detained in the golden drum, suffering the grinding of golden wind and fierce fire every day, unable to seek life or death. I am indeed satisfied with this situation, and finally, the evil spirit in my heart is eliminated..."

Before Chen Hang could offer words of comfort.

Cui Jingzhong laughed freely, walked forward, took the initiative to change the subject, and laughed:

"The past is gone, thinking more is useless, just worrying in vain. Go! Go!

But it is strange, Xiao Xiao Shixiong Chen, you are actually so valued by Ding Xian, he actually sent his own son and two nether dragons to protect you? This old ghost has always been a person who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't throw an eagle. It seems he also saw that you are not an ordinary person!"

A few days ago.

Ding Wei had already bid farewell to Chen Hang, taking two nether dragons and ghost generals back to Five Cloud Wild.

Jin Gu Cave is a blessed land, far better than Five Cloud Wild, and it is the retreat of a Pure Yang Zhenjun.

Logically speaking.

Ding Wei shouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave, staying here for a few days would be the right thing.

However, when Chen Hang asked about this reason that day, Ding Wei just stammered, didn't dare to speak frankly, and finally spat out the name "Qiao Ting" from his mouth with difficulty, then lowered his head.

And his face also showed shame and helplessness, as if he had suffered a big loss under Qiao Ting's hands.

Cui Jingzhong, who was sitting on the side, just smiled without saying a word, and his expression at that time was also quite subtle.

"Senior Ding has indeed been very kind to me. If it weren't for his arrangements, I fear I wouldn't have been able to hold on until Qiao Zhenjun took action."

Chen Hang smiled slightly and said:

"However, Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui, I have a confusion that is difficult to solve."

"Oh? What don't you understand, Chen Chen Shidi? Just say it, don't be polite to me, Xiao Xiao Shixiong!"

"Who exactly is that Qiao Ting? Not only is Ding Wei afraid of her like a tiger, not even wanting to mention her name, but even Xiao Xiao Shixiong has a lot of tolerance and concessions when facing her."

Gradually the wind swept the clouds away.

Chen Hang's sleeves fluttered in the wind, also like flowing clouds, he reached out and gathered them, saying:

"Could she be Qiao Zhenjun's offspring?"

Cui Jingzhong, who was originally patting his chest and smiling, stiffened when he heard this.

He hesitated for a long time, finally stopped his steps, smiled bitterly, and said:

"What Chen Chen Shidi said, although not hit, is not far away... I heard Ding Wei's words, Chen Chen Shidi, have you obtained the cultivation method of Yin Erosion Yin Shi Hong Shui?"

Chen Hang nodded.

"Although I am not a clansman of the Mishan Qiao family, I grew up in Jin Gu Cave after all. Many servants and maids in the cave were brought by the Zhenjun from the Qiao family. After this back and forth, I have heard some inside stories and rumors."

Cui Jingzhong shook his head and said: "That Yin Erosion Yin Shi Hong Shui is the proud supernatural power of Qiao Ting's father, Qiao Zhijie!

It is said that he once relied on this water method, and also collected all the Luo Dark Black Water and Passing Bai Shui, killing people in the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, and made a great name! He was called the Yin Xing Old Monster, with fierce prestige!"

"Qiao Zhijie?"

Chen Hang's pupils shrank.

Not just Yin Erosion Yin Shi Hong Shui.

Actually also collected Luo Dark Black Water and Passing Bai Shui...

In this way.

Wouldn't he have collected all the sub-waters of the You Ming Zhen Shui?

It's just that to combine the three sub-waters into one and refine the real You Ming Zhen Shui, it also requires a special combined refining formula.

I don't know if Qiao Zhijie succeeded.

If he really refined the You Ming Zhen Shui, relying on the mysterious root nature of that true water.

In the Nine Provinces and Four Seas...

I fear that cultivators one great realm higher than Qiao Zhijie would find it difficult to thoroughly kill him during supernatural power fighting!

Being able to have such a Dao method to protect the body is enough to be called a great supernatural power!

"Later, it is said that the Yin Xing Old Monster fought with others and sat down in Zhu Jing Heaven. This rumor is not known to be true, but Qiao Ting was indeed brought to Jin Gu Cave by the Zhenjun and raised by his side."

Cui Jingzhong spread his hands: "And the Yin Xing Old Monster Qiao Zhijie is the younger brother of the Zhenjun's father...

You say Qiao Ting has such a prominent background, who can provoke her? Who dares to provoke her? We can only avoid her!"

Chen Hang showed a thoughtful look on his face, nodded, and did not say anything more.

But at this time, although he did not want to speak.

Cui Jingzhong was provoked to talk, and his mouth could not be closed, complaining bitterly.

On the way to the warehouse, he complained about how arrogant and domineering Qiao Ting was, causing trouble everywhere for no reason, simply wasting that good appearance, completely different from Qiao Rui's temperament!

"However, your Xiao Xiao Shixiong, I have a broad mind and don't care about these trivial matters! It is called a big belly that can accommodate, accommodating things that are difficult for the world to accommodate!"

At the end.

Cui Jingzhong patted his round belly and did not forget to remind Chen Hang:

"Chen Chen Shidi, if you unfortunately run into that Qiao Ting, remember not to have a conflict with her. This little girl has always been unreasonable! Fortunately, she will enter the lower house of the Chi Ming Sect in half a year. At that time, I can be considered to have taken off a layer of shackles!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Xiao Xiao Shixiong, I understand."

Chen Hang nodded slightly.

At this time.

After turning around a dense cloud forest and stone rock, the originally narrow field of vision suddenly opened up.

But seeing the peaks and ridges, the peaks are chaotic.

Facing him was a steep high wall, rising straight into the clouds, with smoke and clouds on it.

Looking up, it is like cutting, with a rugged body, like a lone paulownia and strong pine.

A large waterfall like a white rainbow poured down from the cliff top with a boom, flowing endlessly, splashing countless jade beads. When it washed on those house-sized rocks, it actually made a crisp sound, which was very pleasing to the ears.

And not far from this spring waterfall, you can see green beads, short fences, and winding paths.

Looking from afar, you can vaguely see an elegant pavilion, half-hidden and half-exposed among the thousand bamboos, or see a tile, vaguely.

"This spring waterfall is White Sun Waterfall, the name given by the Zhenjun himself. He entrusted his feelings to the mountains and rivers when he was young. Every grass and tree here has a different interest, and from here, it is not far to the warehouse."

Cui Jingzhong pointed and said:

"The Red Lead Great Return Pill that I will teach you to refine next is more cumbersome, and the required medicinal herbs are also many. This pill is beneficial to Purple Palace high achievements, can nourish spiritual sense, increase inspiration, and is a good external pill! What I am best at refining is this pill!"

He laughed complacently and was about to boast again.

But he saw the bamboo forest in the distance suddenly rustle by the wind, and then a rainbow light came suddenly, falling into the small pavilion in the forest first.

"What? Isn't she learning the zither at Little Plum Mountain? Why did she run to White Sun Waterfall again!"

Cui Jingzhong's face turned black.

In an instant.

Only heard the clear sound on the clouds.

A phoenix carriage flew into the sky, and a group of colorful maids or holding incense, or opening lamps, surrounded the phoenix carriage like stars holding the moon.

"Go! Go..."

Cui Jingzhong covered his face with his sleeves and turned to leave: "If we can't afford to provoke, we can still hide!"

But before he ran a few steps away, he was coldly called by the woman on the phoenix carriage, wanting to talk to him.

Chen Hang raised his eyes to look.

Seeing the curtain on the carriage slightly lifted a corner, vaguely able to see the blurred figure of a woman, and soon it was closed again.

"Chen Chen Shidi is the person the Zhenjun specifically broke the retreat to summon. Even if Qiao Ting is arrogant, she should not dare to be too presumptuous..."

A while later.

The phoenix carriage and the maids on both sides flew down to the small pavilion in the bamboo forest, propped up the brocade canopy, and set up painted screens on all sides to block the smoke and water.

Cui Jingzhong's expression changed several times, but he sighed and said to Chen Hang:

"If there is any collision in words later, don't take it to heart. I will deal with it, Xiao Xiao Shixiong!"

"No matter."

Chen Hang's expression was indifferent, and he walked toward the small pavilion calmly.

"Slow down, slow down! Chen Chen Shidi, wait for me..."

Cui Jingzhong was startled, secretly complaining, and hurriedly followed.

Only a short distance of half a mile.

Cui Jingzhong walked stumbling, as if there were swords under his feet, measuring every step, walking on tiptoe.

It was Qiao Ting's maid who was impatient and urged again, so he had to speed up his steps.

Looking at it.

The wind moved the bamboo tips, like turning wheat waves, which was extremely interesting.

In the small pavilion in the forest, the screens were bright and the lamps were dazzling.

A woman with skin like jade and snow, and an extremely beautiful appearance, sat lazily on a jade chair, holding her cheeks with her hands, indifferent.

In front of her was a table, with jade porcelain tea cups, and the fragrance floated into the air.

Seeing Chen Hang and Cui Jingzhong approaching.

Her eyes moved, her slender eyebrows raised, and she said lightly: "Give a seat."

The maids outside the pavilion heard this instruction and hurriedly set up two jade chairs, and replaced the incense in the lying stove.

For a time, the fragrance lingered, like cold plum blossoms breaking the winter.

Cui Jingzhong seemed to be treated like this by Qiao Ting for the first time, quite flattered, blinked suspiciously, and said:

"Qiao Qiao Shimei—"

"Who is your Qiao Shimei, and whose Xiao Xiao Shixiong are you?"

Qiao Ting swept him a glance without expression:

"Do you think I am like Qiao Rui, still a little girl without a brain?"

Cui Jingzhong was choked by these words for a moment, not knowing how to answer, only holding the tea cup and sipping, to cover up the embarrassment on his face.

"Rivers and mountains are easy to change, but nature is hard to move! I thought this girl had suddenly changed her temperament, but it turned out to be the same arrogant style as before!"

He smiled bitterly in his heart and couldn't help but shout.

"You are Chen Hang?"

Qiao Ting's eyes turned, not paying much attention to Cui Jingzhong, but looking at Chen Hang, saying:

"The Chen Hang who obtained my father's Yin Erosion Yin Shi Hong Shui inheritance?"

"Exactly."

Chen Hang replied.

"I heard from that little ghost Ding Wei that the Zhenjun also gave you a beast-head token?"

Qiao Ting asked again.

Chen Hang nodded slightly.

"Then do you know that you have a marriage contract with me?"

After Qiao Ting finished this sentence, not only was Chen Hang stunned, but Cui Jingzhong on the side widened his eyes in shock.

"Clatter" sound.

His fingers loosened, and the tea cup fell to his feet, splashing tea all over him.

"Chen Chen Shidi actually has a marriage contract with you? When did this happen?"

Cui Jingzhong swallowed, trembling:

"Is, is this the Zhenjun's intention?"
