Sword God

Chapter 58: return

Views:

Stepping into the family hall, Chen Zong keenly felt that the atmosphere seemed a little different.

It seems that there is a little more weight.

It seemed that there was a little more urgency.

Walking to the ground courtyard, I also met some disciples of the family hall. They looked at me, first surprised, and then shocked.

"Brother Chen Zongzu..." When he walked to the front of the house, a voice sounded from behind, his voice trembling, as if he was excited by unexpected surprises.

"Brother Chen Chong." Chen Zong looked back and smiled slightly.

"Clan brother, it's really you, you're still alive... that's great... you're still alive..." Chen Zhong was so excited that he couldn't make sense of it: "The elders went to the mountain to look for you, but they couldn't find you. They thought you were dead in Fulong Mountain... "

"I'm still alive." Chen Zong said in an affirmative tone with a smile on his face, and Chen Zhong also calmed down slowly.

"Go, go to the main hall to meet the elder." Chen Zhong grabbed Chen Zong's sleeve and said hastily.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry. I'll put things away first." Chen Zongyang said, lifting the heavy burden on his body. Fortunately, the key to the house was not lost.

Walking towards the main hall of the family hall with Chen Zhong, following Chen Zhong's words, Chen Zong's face was cold and solemn, and his heart was heavy.

I didn't expect that after we separated that day, the loss would be so serious, but perhaps, it was already expected.

The iron guard of the Chen family is indeed very strong, and the elder who sits in the mine camp is indeed very strong, but there are too many monsters, and finally there is a third-level monster, which is even more terrifying.

However, the elder and thirty Chen family iron guards all lost their lives because of this, deacon Chen Shaojie lost an arm, and four members of the family hall disappeared. At present, only one of them has returned, and the other three are in places like Fulong Mountain.

"What about the current mine?" Chen Zong asked.

"It is said that the iron guards have returned to guard and continue to mine iron ore." Chen Zhong said.

That ore vein is very important to the Chen family, and there is no room for loss. There is still a considerable part of it that has not been mined, so it is impossible to give up on it.

Walking into the main hall, one after another gazes immediately fell on Chen Zong's face. He was startled for a moment, and then, unconcealable ecstasy spread like sparks from his eyes.

"Chen Zong..."

"Chen Zong, you are still alive."

"I knew you, little guy, will be blessed with great fortune."

The three elders were stunned, and they all spoke out.

"Elder Wei, Elder Xing, Elder Li..." Chen Zong saluted, "I made you worry."

"It's the best to be back." Elder Awakened with a smile all over his face.

"You have been in Fulong Mountain for more than a month?" Elder Wei asked after staring at Chen Zong.

"Yes, I got lost in the mountains, luckily." Chen Zong responded with a smile. Only he knew the difficulties and dangers. However, he also grew up, got opportunities, and became stronger because of this. There is no need to go into detail.

"You are the first person with a fifth-level cultivation in the Qi and Blood Realm to survive in Fulong Mountain for more than a month and come out intact." Elder Li also laughed.

"Just come back." Elder Xing sighed, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Just now outside the city, the leader of the Xiaoyu Gang and a few gang members wanted to kill me, but I killed me instead. I don't know if it will cause trouble for the family." Chen Zong said.

"Xiaoyu Gang... It's just a small gang, but it still dares to attack you. If you kill it, you will kill it. If my Chen family doesn't trouble it, it still dares to provoke it." Elder Xing smiled coldly.

"You don't need to pay attention to this matter, just practice hard, and the Xiaoyu Gang is not troublesome." Elder Wei also said.

Chen Zong nodded, thought of something immediately, and said again: "By the way, three elders, I met a very strange person in Fulong Mountain."

"What kind of strange method?" Elder Li asked with a smile.

Chen Zong explained the black figure encountered in the cave in detail, and saw that the faces of the three elders were full of solemnity and horror.

"Could it be that the legend is true..." Elder Li seemed to be talking to himself.

"Chen Zong, do you know that our era is called the Zhenwu era, and the previous era is called the Kingdom era." Elder Wei said, and Chen Zong nodded.

"The age of the kingdom was destroyed by monsters, but there is a rumor that the reason why monsters gathered from the mountains to invade the kingdom was led by someone, and the leader was the Black Demon Gate."

"Black Demon Sect?" Chen Zong was the first to hear these three words, but suddenly felt a feeling of palpitation, as if it was a very terrifying existence.

"The Black Demon Sect is the most powerful force in the entire Eastern Continent. None of the three kingdoms in the Kingdom Era can compare with it. The Black Demon Sect is determined to destroy the Three Great Kingdoms and then control the Eastern Continent."

Chen Zong was terrified in his heart.

The most powerful force on the Eastern Continent, this statement is horrifying, so, is there any relationship between the Black Demon Sect and the half-human, half-snake monster I encountered

Could it be that the monster is the doorman of the Black Demon Sect

Questions popped out of my mind.

"In the end, the Three Great Kingdoms were destroyed, but their desperate counterattack also caused heavy losses to the Black Demon Sect and the army of monster beasts. In the end, it is said that the remaining warriors after the disintegration of the Three Great Kingdoms gathered to repel the Black Demon Sect. Without escaping into the Mountain of Beasts, the remaining monsters were gradually cleaned up. In order to resist the invasion of monsters, martial arts cities were built in the hands of the surviving people, and the martial arts skills were also passed down, so that more people can fight against the monsters. Cultivating to become a martial artist also symbolizes the arrival of the era of true martial arts."

Chen Zong suddenly realized that these contents were not comprehensively recorded in the books he had read before, especially about the Black Demon Gate.

"The people of the Black Demon Sect are all monsters?" Chen Zong asked.

"We don't know much about the Black Demon Sect. After all, it has disappeared for hundreds of years. We only know that the warriors of the Black Demon Sect are called demon warriors. Their overall strength is often stronger than that of warriors with the same cultivation level. They can also perform A kind of ability called demonization makes oneself look like a half-human half-monster, making it even more terrifying." Elder Wei finally said.

"So, the half-human, half-snake monster I met is indeed a demon warrior from the Black Demon Sect." Chen Zong felt inexplicably heavy.

"I remembered. Shao Jie said that on the night when the group of monsters attacked the camp, a mysterious black shadow sneaked into the camp. When he left, he was found and was hit in the palm. Could it be the one Chen Zong met? Demon warrior?" Elder Awakened exclaimed, frowning.

"Anyway, this news is very important. It must be passed on to the family immediately, and then passed on from the family to other families, so be on guard." Elder Wei said: "Chen Zong, you just need to know about this matter, so don't spread it. so as not to cause unnecessary panic."

"Yes." Chen Zong nodded.

The three elders had important matters to deal with, so Chen Zong said goodbye and left, put them back in the house, took out some herbs and monster materials and three books of foundation-building martial arts from the bag, came to the main area again, and walked into the Tibetan martial arts building .

There are no clan halls for the three foundation-building martial arts. If you contribute, Chen Zong will get 500 contribution points, and then go to the mission room. The task of guarding the mine veins will be interrupted halfway. You will not be able to get contribution points, but you will not be punished either. But for those tasks of herbs and monster materials, after Chen Zong handed in the task items, the contribution points increased sharply.

In the end, Chen Zong got more than 1,500 contribution points, adding up to more than 2,000.

You don't need to practice exercises.

There is no need for human-level mid-level or even higher-level swordsmanship for the time being.

I still have some pills for cultivation, but I don't need them for the time being.

Save these contribution points first.

"I don't know if I can find the three prescriptions needed for physical exercise in the family hall?" With doubts, Chen Zong went to the pill room, with more than two thousand contribution points, full of confidence.

But it is a pity that there are not many medicinal materials in the Danwan room, even if it is the medicinal materials needed for the first prescription of ice fire quenching membrane ointment, only half of them can be gathered.

"The practice of physical exercise requires corresponding prescriptions, otherwise the effect will be minimal."

"I need to gather the many medicinal materials on the prescription, and I also need a relatively good environment to brew the ointment."

"it's time."

Chen Zong raised his sword and walked towards the main hall again.

In the main hall, there will always be at least one person sitting in charge, either an elder or a deacon.

Chen Zong applied to challenge Chen He, who was second in the elite area, and Chen Xia, who was number one, because Chen Xia's small courtyard used to be where Chen Chuyun lived, and it was also the place where he trained the four essentials of swordsmanship. After Chen Chuyun left, Chen Zong had the idea of living in again, and today, it will finally come true.

Such challenges are not child's play, they must be applied for, and then arranged by the clan hall, held under the witness of the clan hall deacon or elder, and no cheating is possible.

As for challenging Chen He, it was purely a counterattack by Chen Zong.

You can't allow Chen He to trouble yourself again and again, but you can't do anything about it.

"The challenger needs to be notified first, and you will be notified of the challenge time later." The deacon said kindly, "If you name the challenger to go out, you can choose to challenge others or live in the challenged person's courtyard first. But they will not enjoy the treatment of elite children, and when the challenged person comes back to fight, if he can defeat the opponent, the resources he should have will be replenished."

"I see, please trouble the deacon." Chen Zong bowed and left.

Looking at the sky, there is still some time before evening, why not take a trip to Dingtian Pavilion.

"Before going to the Dingtian Pavilion, bring all the jade coins and herbs with you." Chen Zong returned to the house, put away the black iron plate, took the precious iron-grade short knife, and left the clan hall after carrying the burden on his back.

According to what Elder Wei said, the Dingtian Pavilion is open all over the martial arts cities, so the influence should be very large, but the Dingtian Pavilion does not compete for hegemony, it only does business, so maybe I can find a place to practice physical exercise in the Dingtian Pavilion. Various herbs for prescriptions.

"I can also see if there is any treasure in the Dingtian Pavilion that can restore Dad's energy and blood cultivation." Chen Zong secretly said, his eyes were bright, and his heart was burning.

Hearing Elder Wei's words that day, Chen Zong knew that it was more difficult than he imagined to restore his father's cultivation. With his own ability, he might indeed be able to do it in the future, but his father's health was deteriorating. , the longer it is delayed, the worse it will be. It would be best if it can be resolved as soon as possible.

The Dingtian Pavilion is a place of hope today.
