Bizhu Peak is just as its name describes, full of emerald green bamboos, which is extremely beautiful.
"Junior Brother Chen Feng, come this way." Meng Shan enthusiastically guided Chen Feng and said happily, "If my junior brother Hua Qing knew you were here, he would be so happy."
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Chen Huaqing still remembered me." Chen Feng said with a smile, feeling touched in his heart.
At the beginning, Chen Huaqing, Kuzhu and Luo Yu went to invite Ling Kong to join Chaotian Sect, but they happened to encounter Ling Kong whose cultivation had been destroyed by Chen Feng.
Luo Yu was extremely angry at that time and wanted to kill Chen Feng on the spot. Fortunately, Chen Huaqing had a keen eye for talent and took on Luo Yu's pressure.
Thinking about it now, if Chen Huaqing hadn't helped him, Chen Feng might have died at the hands of Luo Yu.
"That's right. After my junior brother Hua Qing came back, he mentioned you every now and then. He praised your talent to the skies. Even our Bizhu Peak's Peak Master, Deacon Chang, has shown some interest in you."
As he spoke, Meng Shan turned around and looked at Chen Feng carefully, then smiled and said, "I was in a hurry just now and didn't have time to observe you. Now it seems that Junior Brother Chen Feng's cultivation is really good. He is actually in the middle stage of the tribulation. I guess he is very close to the critical point of the late stage of the tribulation."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's still a little short of the late stage of transcending the tribulation. I guess it will take a lot of effort."
"That's not bad!" Meng Shan said with a smile. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something shocking, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Chen Feng, and said in great surprise: "Hey, that's not right. When Brother Huaqing came back, he said that you were just a rising star. If you had this level of cultivation at that time, why did you need Brother Huaqing to deal with Luo Yu for you? You know, Luo Yu is only in the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing even now."
Meng Shan's face was filled with increasing doubt. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "Brother Chen Feng, tell me honestly, when Brother Hua Qing saw you, did you hide your cultivation?"
Hearing Meng Shan's words, Chen Feng couldn't help but shook his head with a bitter smile. How could he hide his cultivation? If he had the strength he has now, with Chen Feng's personality, would he have been able to endure Luo Yu's murderous intentions towards him? I'm afraid he would have split the other party in half with a sword.
"Chen Feng, what was your strength at that time!" Meng Shan's face flushed, as if he had guessed something incredible.
"That... should be the out-of-body stage." Chen Feng said weakly.
"What?" Meng Shan suddenly jumped up, and stared at Chen Feng with a pair of bull eyes, as if he was looking at a monster: "You said you were only a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage at that time?"
Chen Feng nodded without denying it.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster did my Junior Brother Hua Qing find?" Meng Shan suddenly beat his chest and stamped his feet and shouted, "You know, Junior Brother Hua Qing has only been back for seven years. In other words, you have gone from the Out-of-Body Stage to the current Middle Stage of Crossing Tribulation in seven years?"
Chen Feng looked at Meng Shan somewhat embarrassedly, but still nodded.
"Junior Brother Chen Feng, you are awesome. I will follow you from now on!" Meng Shan grabbed Chen Feng's sleeve and said with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Chen Feng suddenly got goose bumps all over his body. He quickly shook off Meng Shan's big hand, pulled away a distance, and laughed out loud: "Brother Meng, haha, I'm a normal man, you see, we should keep some distance."
Meng Shanniu glared and shouted roughly, "Death face!"
"puff-"
Chen Feng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
…
This little episode immediately brought Chen Feng and Meng Shan closer. The two walked along the way and soon passed through the lush bamboo forest and came to a large building complex.
"Chen Feng, this is the base camp of my disciples from Bizhu Peak. Come with me, I will take you to find Junior Brother Huaqing now." Meng Shan said with a smile, pointing at the building complex in front of him.
This building complex is not small in scale. The quaint houses are scattered in an orderly manner and intertwined with the endless bamboo sea around it, giving it a unique rhythm.
However, Chen Feng soon discovered a strange phenomenon. That is, although the scale of this building complex is not small, there are very few houses that are actually inhabited.
"Brother Chen Feng, you've seen it too, right?" Meng Shan said with a hint of desolation, "Do you feel that my Bizhu Peak is a little deserted?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Meng, we have passed several peaks along the way. Each peak was crowded with disciples and extremely lively. But why is the Bizhu Peak so deserted?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
“In fact, Bizhu Peak used to have as many disciples as other peaks. However, a major event a thousand years ago caused the disciples of Bizhu Peak to leave the peak one after another. And there are few new disciples joining Bizhu Peak. In addition, the harsh requirements of our Bizhu Peak’s Peak Master, Deacon Chang, have made the population of Bizhu Peak even sparse.” Meng Shan sighed and explained.
"What happened a thousand years ago that caused such a big change in Bizhu Peak?" Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel curious.
"This matter is not a secret. If you want to know, I will tell you." Meng Shan thought for a moment and said, "A thousand years ago, during a disciple recruitment ceremony, our Bizhu Peak recruited two brilliant disciples. These two disciples were both women, and extremely beautiful women. One of them is the current Bizhu Peak's Peak Master, Deacon Chang."
"At that time, Deacon Chang and another disciple were both positioned by the original peak master as one of the successors of Bizhu Peak due to their outstanding talents and strong strength. They were called the Bizhu Twin Beauties. This immediately caused resentment in the hearts of many senior members of Bizhu Peak. Thus, a conspiracy took place."
"At that time, one of the disciples of Bizhu Peak was extremely dissatisfied with the Bizhu Shuangjiao because, before the Bizhu Shuangjiao came, he was the most likely person to become the Peak Master of Bizhu Peak. In order to regain his position, he actually poisoned the old Peak Master and put the blame on the Bizhu Shuangjiao."
"This incident caused civil unrest in Bizhu Peak. The power of Bizhu Peak evolved into two factions. One faction supported the Bizhu Twins, and the other faction believed that the old peak master was poisoned by the Bizhu Twins."
"The mutual accusations soon turned into open attacks, and the civil strife in Bizhu Peak finally came. In that battle, there were heavy casualties. Although the inner sect elders of Chaotian Sect came forward to quell the civil strife, the people of Bizhu Peak had already lost their morale. Although they finally understood the truth of the matter, most of the cultivators still left Bizhu Peak and defected to other peaks. Since then, Bizhu Peak has fallen into decline."
"Later, after Deacon Chang, one of the two beauties of the Bizhu Peak, took over the position of the head of the Bizhu Peak, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening, she established a rule: the disciples accepted by the Bizhu Peak must have good character. Otherwise, no matter how talented they are, the Bizhu Peak will not accept them."
"Under such rules, the number of disciples in our Bizhu Peak has become smaller and smaller. Now, there are only a dozen or so left." Meng Shan said in a loud voice: "But I can guarantee that every disciple of our Bizhu Peak is a hero!"
