I practiced with a cheat

"oh?"

Zhou Heng raised his brows slightly when he heard this, and chuckled, "Why do you see that?"

The bay-red horse shook his head, glanced at the monk, snorted, and snot immediately spurted out and splashed on the monk's clothes.

The monk was not angry, he put his hands together and saluted, and said with a smile: "I am a true disciple of Kasyapa Temple, my name is Shangyuan. This horse moves like a dragon, and its energy and blood are like rivers and seas. It is really extraordinary, so it has a destiny with my Buddhist sect." ”

"Master's title is correct." Zhou Heng chuckled and patted the red horse beside him. "Having said so much, what do you want, master? Why don't you speak frankly?"

"Then I will tell you directly." Monk Shanyuan clasped his hands together and said with a very humble attitude: "My horse was accidentally lost a few days ago, which made me very heartbroken. I didn't think about food and drink, and couldn't sleep at night.

"When I saw the donor's horse today, I immediately felt that the opportunity had arrived, and my mind felt restored again. I also asked the donor to give me this horse to relieve my heartache."

"..." Zhou Heng was slightly silent after hearing this. He looked at Monk Shanyuan carefully again and said with a smile, "I really didn't see it. Master, are you dead?"

"Yes, my horse is gone." Monk Shangyuan nodded and said happily: "After my horse is gone, my heart is really painful. Donor, please do a good deed and give me your horse, how about it?"

"How can the master say such shameless words so confidently? You are trying to steal my mount." Zhou Heng almost laughed angrily. Is there something wrong with the mind of this monk from Kasyapa Temple? How could he ask for it directly from someone on the street? Mounted?

Isn't this an open robbery?

Zhou Heng originally thought that no matter how excessive the monk was, he would at most just want to buy the bay-red horse by force, but he didn't expect that the monk was so shameless that he wanted to rob it directly.

Is it the monk’s own problem, or is it the style of Kasyapa Temple?

"The donor is joking, I'm not a robber, how could I snatch your mount?" Monk Shangyuan still smiled and said, "I lost my horse, so I came out to ask for alms, and I happened to see that this horse of yours, donor, is destined to be my Buddha. That’s all.”

"What if I say I don't want to give this horse to the master?" Zhou Heng said in a deep voice.

"Then I'll go find another destined horse?" Monk Shanyuan put his hands together in salute, bowed slightly, and said, "Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

It seems that I really no longer have any thoughts about the bay red horse.

"What a wonderful Kasyapa Temple, what a good monk." Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the back of the monk, with a sneer on his face.

Monk Shangyuan seems to have given up and left, but in fact he has secretly kept a back-up plan.

When he bowed and said goodbye just now, he left a mark of his soul on the maroon horse's body.

As long as this mark remains, he will be able to sense it no matter where the bay red horse goes.

It is obvious that this is a persistent crime against the bay red horse.

"Knowing that I am a sixth-grade secret cultivator, yet still being so unscrupulous seems like I am used to being arrogant." Zhou Heng thought to himself.

He did not deliberately hide his cultivation aura. It should be easy to tell his cultivation level based on the cultivation level of Shangyuan Monk Zhengang Realm.

Although Monk Shanyuan seems to be very humble on the surface, his actions, words and deeds are all unquestionable. He does not take Zhou Heng seriously at all, and he has regarded the bay red horse as his own. things.

In fact, normally speaking, no matter how arrogant a warrior is, he would not blatantly ask for things from a stranger warrior of the same realm as Monk Shanyuan.

This is completely an open robbery and can easily lead to conflicts.

Monk Shan Yun dared to do this because he felt that Zhou Heng would never dare to conflict with him.

And his own cultivation realm is not enough to support such confidence.

Obviously, it was the sect "Kasyapa Temple" behind him that provided him with the capital to be arrogant.

"First go to Jiangjian to see how she is doing, and then ask about the news about the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace." Zhou Heng led the bay red horse and left the dock, secretly saying: "By the way, I want to ask about the power of Kayaba Temple in Yujiang Prefecture. ”

Originally, he planned to wait until he reached the core sphere of influence of Kasyapa Temple before taking action, but now that the monks from Kasyapa Temple have come to his door, he no longer intends to be polite.

…

Walking on the streets of Yujiang Fucheng, Zhou Heng attracted much attention.

Many girls looked back at him frequently, their pretty faces flushed.

Zhou Heng was originally very handsome, but after entering the Secret Sixth Stage, he became even more reborn, with a more chic and elegant temperament.

Such charm is simply not something that ordinary girls can bear.

However, Zhou Heng had long been accustomed to this situation. He led the bay red horse forward slowly, his expression as usual.

At this time, he was passing through a street market. There were stalls on the left and right selling various goods, with a wide variety of goods. There were also many people shopping in the market.

This shows that Yujiang Mansion is indeed prosperous and prosperous.

"Hey, take a look! Good fructose, with all the flavors and as sweet as honey!!"

There was a cry of hawking not far away.

Zhou Heng's heart moved slightly and he led the bay horse over. He looked at the colorful candies on the stall and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this candy?"

"One penny per dollar, you can choose any flavor, including peach, honeydew melon, honey fruit..." Seeing that Zhou Heng's majestic appearance was different from ordinary people, the stall owner introduced it very attentively and in detail.

Often such customers have never eaten ordinary fructose, so they may buy a lot.

"Then let's get a tael of silver." Zhou Heng took out a broken piece of silver and placed it on the stall. He said with a smile: "If you want to taste, have a little of each."

"Okay!!" The stall owner was immediately overjoyed, with a smile on his face. He hurriedly collected the money and filled Zhou Heng with a large bag of fructose.

With only one tael of silver, he might not be able to sell so much even if he set up a stall for three to five days, but now he has completed so much in one order, which is really an unexpected surprise.

Sure enough, if you want to make a fortune in this business, you still have to rely on big customers.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the stall owner's happy expression.

More than a year ago now, I, like this stall owner, often rejoiced to earn an extra tael of silver.

Now, it is no longer what it used to be.

Zhou Heng left with a bag of fructose and walked towards Yujiang Inn in Chengnan District.

That was the most luxurious inn in Yujiang Prefecture. If his prediction was correct, Cheng Jiangjian should be staying there.

Cheng Jiangjian is not short of money. In terms of living environment, she naturally lives in a comfortable place.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Heng arrived outside the Yujiang Inn, he saw a familiar figure.

Cheng Jiangjian is still radiant and bright.

As soon as she walked out of the inn, she attracted most of the people in the market, both men and women, who were attracted to her.

"Huh?" Cheng Jiangjian also spotted Zhou Heng. He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you here at Yujiang Mansion?"

Outside Taihua Mountain, she would not call Zhou Heng his junior uncle.

"I have something to go to Luozhou, and I happened to pass by here. I didn't expect to meet you by chance. This is Zhou Wei's luck." Zhou Heng also smiled and said: "Jiang... uh, are you okay, girl?"

"Cheng Bei is fine." Cheng Jiangjian said with a smile. She also stated her alias in the Southern Jin Dynasty, which was the same as the alias she had previously used in the Soul Realm. "It's difficult to talk outside, sir, why don't we go up and sit down?"

"Okay." Zhou Heng nodded.

Afterwards, the two of them entered the inn. Zhou Heng opened a room in the upper room and asked the innkeeper to lead the bay horse to the stables.

When people in the market saw Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian walking into the inn side by side, they all beat their chests and felt very sorry, but when they thought about it carefully, it seemed normal.

What a perfect match for these two people standing together!

…

In the inn room, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian sat opposite each other.

"How is the matter with the Ning family in Chongqing?" Zhou Heng asked with concern.

The purpose of Cheng Jiangjian's coming here is to keep her appointment and challenge Ning Zeyu, the "Goddess of Yao Palace" of the Ning family in Chongqing.

Counting the time now, she should have been here for some time.

"We haven't handed it over yet, and we haven't even seen anyone." Cheng Jiangjian shook his head slightly, pointed to the sky, and said, "Because of this, Ning Zeyu has been making preparations and avoiding fighting."

"Picture of the Hundred Palaces of Yao Palace?" Zhou Heng understood what Cheng Jiangjian meant.

"Yes, that's right." Cheng Jiangjian nodded gently and said, "This picture of the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace is said to be a Taoist-level artifact, and it also contains countless rare treasures and magical secrets.

"Now this treasure map is about to be opened. The secret sixth-grade and Zong fifth-grade warriors in Yujiang Prefecture are all making preparations. Those with star tear stones are preparing for exploration, and those without star tear stones are preparing to capture other Human Star Tears Stone.”

"Then Yujiang Fucheng will not be peaceful in the future." Zhou Heng said solemnly: "There should be many foreign warriors coming here, hey, I am one of them."

"Well, quite a few have come." Cheng Jiangjian nodded and said: "There are thirty-six Star Tears Stones, which means that there will be at least thirty-six secret sixth-level and even sect fifth-level warriors gathered here. "

"For a city, the number of middle-grade and third-grade warriors has exceeded the limit that it can accommodate." Zhou Heng pondered: "If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid something big will happen."

"It is said that the master of the palace here has asked for help from Kunzhou County Governor, but I don't know how it will be handled in the end." Cheng Jiangjian said: "However, the opening of the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace should be a certainty..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed, "Actually, I still have some expectations. I have some subtle feelings that the situation in the Hundred Palaces of Yao Palace may be of some benefit to my practice of "Jade Sky Lingxu Sutra" ”

"Do you have a Star Tear Stone here?" Zhou Heng asked in surprise. There are only thirty-six Star Tear Stones in total. They are scattered all over the world. They can be said to be extremely rare.

"Well, there is one piece." Cheng Jiangjian nodded, and then took out a piece of Star Tears Stone, "Young Master is also interested? Then I can give you my piece."

"That's not necessary." Zhou Heng also took out a piece of Star Tears Stone and said with a smile, "I have one too."

"Great, then we can go in together." Cheng Jiangjian smiled happily and said, "If the two of us join forces, the harvest should be much greater."

"You and I together are enough to surpass everyone!" Zhou Heng also laughed and said: "Then what are your plans after coming out of the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace?"

"Continue to challenge Ning Zeyu." Cheng Jiangjian said seriously: "She trapped me back then. This is the knot in my heart. I must defeat her to untie it. What about you, what are your plans?"

"Of course it's to trouble Kasyapa Temple." Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Kasyapa Temple blatantly invaded Yuzhou, how arrogant it was. Now I will naturally retaliate in kind and repay you twice as much!"

"Well, a good idea! If I have finished fighting Ning Zeyu by then, I will go with you." Cheng Jiangjian was also quite moved, and then her thoughts changed, "By the way, there are actually people in Yujiang Prefecture. Many powerful people in Kasyapa Temple have six martial arts schools.”

"Oh?" Zhou Heng was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the power of Kasyapa Temple could radiate over such a long distance.

The gate of Kasyapa Temple is located in Luozhou, which is close to the center of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Kunzhou is far away from it, with Suizhou and Ganzhou separated in the middle.

Although they are only two weeks apart, they are actually hundreds of thousands of miles away, which is really not close. And normally, such a long distance should be close to the sphere of influence of other sects or aristocratic families.

If it were in Daqi, the power of a top sect or family would basically radiate to several surrounding states and counties, and would have little impact on places two or three states and counties away.

Even the strongest sect in Da Qi like Chunyang Palace has very limited influence on places other than three or four states and counties, let alone opening a large number of martial arts schools.

For example, the opening of Chunyang Martial Arts School in Huangtong Fucheng is actually a special case.

"Kasyapa Temple is different from us." Cheng Jiangjian said: "When they open martial arts schools, they also open forums to lecture and win over believers. This is essentially preaching, and it naturally expands rapidly."

"Is it always like this, or is it just in recent years?" Zhou Heng asked doubtfully. Logically speaking, for top martial arts masters, the range of power radiation should not be very important.

Normally speaking, the top martial arts masters care about the inheritance of upper-level third-level powers, artifacts, and magical arts. In terms of land, it is enough to have the surrounding states and counties as their basic base.

"After I came to the Southern Jin Dynasty, I also inquired about the affairs of Kaysapa Temple. It should have expanded greatly in the past two or three years." Cheng Jiangjian said in a deep voice: "But it is strange that the various forces in the Southern Jin Dynasty, There is no intention to stop Kasyapa Temple.”

"You didn't stop even those who were being eroded close to your own sphere of influence?" Zhou Heng was a little surprised. This was unreasonable. "Is it because they are all small sects?"

"No." Cheng Jiangjian shook his head slightly and said, "There are many top martial arts sects and aristocratic families in the world, such as the Tianyi Sect and the Wuzhou Liu Family, who have given up their sphere of influence to Kayaba Temple."

"This is indeed a bit strange." Zhou Heng frowned slightly and said: "It seems that there must be some hidden reason for the expansion of Kasyapa Temple. If I really go to trouble them, I'm afraid it will be a big obstacle."

"Then what are the young master's plans?" Cheng Jiang said with a slight smile.
