Chapter 788 Betting
Amidst the large array of light curtains, Shen Jinghua held a quaint gossip array disk and kept moving forward at a specific pace.
This test formation arranged by the ancestors of the Zhuge family is extremely mysterious, and it can automatically produce some corresponding changes according to the cultivation base and ability of the participants.
So what Shen Jinghua is facing now is an extremely complex fourth-order grand formation, which combines the two formation inheritances that the Zhuge family is good at, 'Bagua' and 'Nine Palaces'.
However, for the former, it is not difficult to pass through this large formation, and it can even be said that they are confident.
After all, as Shen Jinghua's direct disciple of Zhentian Zhentian, the latter has already taught the two unique skills of formations passed down by the Zhuge family as well as the knowledge of formations he has learned all his life.
What's more, Shen Jinghua himself is a formation wizard who is rare in the Qingyun sect for thousands of years, and his talent for formation is even higher than that of the master formation.
As early as before he succeeded in forming alchemy, with the help of Yunbi Peak's promotion of the earth veins, he successfully arranged a fourth-order treasure formation, and became a veritable master of the fourth-order formation.
Now Shen Jinghua has become a Jindan real person, and has also formed the highest quality Jindan that has never appeared in Lingnan's world of cultivating immortals.
Therefore, when he is now standing at the height of Jindan Daoist, the level of formation is naturally higher than before, and his understanding of the fourth-order treasure formation is also more profound.
In this way, in this virtual and solid formation, like a huge labyrinth, Shen Jinghua held the formation disk and shuttled through the interlocking light curtains with ease.
When another light curtain was shattered, a different scene immediately appeared in front of his eyes. What he saw was azure water curtain everywhere, and wisps of white water vapor lingered, as if he was in a place full of blue waves. In the pool.
The next moment, a beautiful female figure slowly came out from that layer of water curtain, her whole body was only covered with a hazy tulle that seemed real, highlighting her exquisite and graceful body very enchantingly .
As the body of this beautiful woman slowly left the hazy water curtain, the seemingly invisible gauze on her body actually slipped down slowly from her body.
In an instant, a white and delicate carcass appeared. The creamy skin looked flimsy, and the perfect figure was without a trace of blemish, just like a piece of natural beauty.
Seeing this scene, Shen Jinghua's eyes couldn't help being slightly dull for a moment, and the blood in his whole body boiled inexplicably, as if an invisible force had imprisoned him, but at this moment his eyes seemed relatively clear.
But at this moment, the woman with the naked fruit had actually come to his side, and the whole white and tender body directly threw herself into his arms.
this moment,
Shen Jinghua suddenly felt a softness that he had never felt before, as if his whole body was in a gentle embrace.
"Giggle."
There was a slight murmur of laughter from the woman's throat, this laughter was soul-stirring, as if it carried infinite charm.
Accompanied by the numb and seductive voice, the woman's slender hands caressed Shen Jinghua's strong chest, trying to take off the Taoist robe on the latter.
At the same time, in Shen Jinghua's gaze, the originally blurred face of this beautiful woman gradually became clearer.
After this beautiful face was completely revealed, Shen Jinghua was completely stunned there.
This beautiful face is actually Zhuge Mingyue's face!
All of a sudden, Shen Jinghua's breathing suddenly became heavy, and strands of red blood streaked out of his originally clear eyes.
Although Shen Jinghua has practiced Taoism for more than one hundred and ten years, if the lifespan of an ordinary monk in the Qi training period is considered, he has already reached the end of his life.
But for the foundation-building cultivator who enjoys more than two hundred years of age, he is just an adult, not to mention that Shen Jinghua has become a Jindan real person, enjoying more than eight hundred years.
What's more, in the more than one hundred years of Taoism practiced by Shen Jinghua, most of the time was spent in retreat, meditation and hard work, and delving into the mysteries of formations.
Therefore, although he also has extremely rich training experience, to be honest, he has never seen such a "spring-like" scenery.
Besides, although he and Zhuge Mingyue have been in love for many years, and they have already become Taoist couples with each other, but the relationship between the two is innocent, and it can even be said that they respect each other as guests.
How could it be possible to be honest with each other like this?
. . . . . .
On the other side, Zhentian Zhenren, Zhuge Wenbin, Zhuge Qingyun and others stood outside the formation, looking at Shen Jinghua who stood motionless in the middle of the formation.
Although they couldn't see what Shen Jinghua was able to see at this time, as members of the Zhuge family, they also knew the effect of the illusion that the former was facing now.
The elders of the Zhuge family began to look at each other, while Zhentian Zhenren, Zhuge Wenbin and Zhuge Qingyun still quietly looked at Shen Jinghua who had fallen into an illusion.
Zhen Tian's face was extremely calm, he didn't look worried at all, obviously he was very relieved of Shen Jinghua.
. . . . . .
"Heck, come on, have fun."
The seductive and charming voice came out from the woman's red lips again, and this intermittent charming voice rang slowly in Shen Jinghua's ears.
While speaking, her slender hands seemed to have untied Shen Jinghua's Taoist robe and were taking it off.
However, at this moment, Shen Jinghua's bloodshot eyes regained their clarity, and it should be said that they became indifferent.
"destroy"
The cold word was blurted out directly, as if carrying a powerful force, it immediately rolled away in all directions.
At this moment, the delicate body of the woman in Shen Jinghua's arms trembled violently, and pitiful tears rolled down from those beautiful eyes.
The next moment, the woman's pitiful face began to turn hideous, and the entire beautiful, white and flawless body was immediately reduced to ashes.
Accompanied by the intense burning together, there is also a picture of the whole spring lingering
In a blink of an eye, the scene of "full spring" that appeared in front of Shen Jinghua's eyes disappeared, and only an arched portal appeared again.
Obviously this is the exit to leave!
After seeing the portal that reappeared, Shen Jinghua couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had lingering fears.
The ancestor of the Zhuge family was really amazing. The grand formation he had set up was able to pull him, a Jindan real person, directly into the illusion without a sound, and even forcibly make him unable to move. .
It was also fortunate that he had just passed through the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, and his xinxing had been greatly sharpened, and the inner demons that might have existed in his heart were also reduced to ashes under the Thunder Tribulation.
This was the only way to keep the sanctuary of the Lingtai at a critical moment.
After a slight pause, Shen Jinghua calmed down, and then quickly walked towards the portal that appeared.
Soon the scene in front of him changed again, and what finally appeared was the ancient hall he had just walked into.
"What can be gained from this breakout?"
Suddenly, the voice of Tian Zhenren, who was neither sad nor happy, rang slowly in Shen Jinghua's ears.
Shen Jinghua looked at the reputation, and then hurriedly cupped his hands towards Zhentian Zhenren, Zhuge Wenbin and others, a dignified look appeared on his stern face.
"Returning to Master, this formation is incomparably wonderful. During the process of breaking the formation, this disciple has a deeper understanding of the Eight Diagrams and the Way of the Nine Palaces."
After hearing this, the old fellows of the Zhuge family, including Zhuge Wenbin, all turned their attention to Zhentian Zhenren, master and apprentice, with expressions that were indescribably complicated.
When they saw Zhentian Zhentian willing to let his direct disciples go through the family test, they thought it was him who let go of the things of the past.
However, who would have thought that the two masters and apprentices actually came here to learn!
On the other side, Zhentian turned a blind eye to the eyes cast by the Zhuge family members, and did not show any strange expressions because of this.
As for Shen Jinghua who was beside him, he felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of everyone.
But to be honest, this time, Shen Jinghua was able to comprehend the mysteries of the formation left by the ancestors of the family in the process of going through the test of the family. Zhentian Zhenren had indeed considered it in advance.
What the Zhuge family is good at is the inheritance of the two formations of 'Bagua' and 'Nine Palaces', so all the formation masters in the family, big and small, follow these two paths.
However, for thousands of years, among the entire family, the ancestor of the Zhuge family was the only one who had inherited these two formations into one.
Even today's Zhentian Zhenren and Zhuge Wenbin and others, although they are already fourth-order formation masters, are still far behind their ancestors.
Therefore, if you want to truly comprehend the two inheritances of 'Bagua' and 'Nine Palaces', you should learn from the ancestor of the Zhuge family.
However, in today's Zhuge family, apart from the formation books left by the ancestors, there are only two large formations that were actually arranged by the ancestors of the Zhuge family.
One is the large array in the Hall of Questioning Heart that can see people's hearts clearly, and the other is the mountain guard array that has guarded the Zhuge family for thousands of years.
It is precisely because of this that Zhentian Zhentian told Shen Jinghua at the very beginning to let him stay in the test formation for a while, and earnestly comprehend the mysteries of this formation.
Anyway, no matter what, the latter has to go through the test of the big formation, so why not take the opportunity to learn more from this formation.
It would be the best if Shen Jinghua could integrate the two array inheritances he had learned in the array.
"Haha. My little friend is able to comprehend a more profound way of formation from this formation. He is really talented."
The first one to speak was Zhuge Wenbin, who was old and mature, and he attributed all the reasons to Shen Jinghua's talent as soon as he spoke, and praised the former's talent.
I saw that Shen Jinghua cupped his hands slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing:
"Seniors are polite"
At this time, Zhentian Zhentian next to him also spoke again.
"Okay, now that Jinghua has passed the family test, let's go out and talk about the others first."
So, everyone turned around and left the Hall of Questioning Hearts, and returned to the meeting hall again.
Not long after Shen Jinghua and others returned to the meeting hall, Zhuge Mingyue, who was dressed in a snow-white skirt, also came into the meeting hall holding the arm of a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman.
Shen Jinghua looked at Zhuge Mingyue who was slowly walking in, and a strange look flashed across his face, as if he was recalling something.
On the other side, Zhuge Mingyue, who was standing beside her mother, had a blush unknowingly on her fair face, obviously knowing what was going to happen next.
"Master, Father, Fifth Uncle"
She came in front of everyone, saluted Zhentian Zhenren, Zhuge Wenbin and others in turn, and then followed her mother to the side of Zhuge Qingyun.
"Now that the marriage between the two of you is officially settled, you just need to hold another double cultivation ceremony to announce to everyone in Lingnan."
At this time, Zhen Tian looked at Shen Jinghua and Zhuge Mingyue, and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhuge Mingyue lowered her head again, but when she raised her head to quietly look at Shen Jinghua, she found that the latter was also looking at her.
"Third Uncle, when will Mingyue's double cultivation ceremony be held?"
As Zhuge Mingyue's father, Zhuge Qingyun asked for key information.
"The double cultivation ceremony for the two of them will be held ten days after the end of the Jinghua Golden Elixir Ceremony, and the location will still be within the sect."
Zhen Tian took a look at Zhuge Qingyun, and then at the rest of the people.
This date was determined by him and Shen Jinghua after some deliberation. The reason why it was placed after the Golden Elixir Ceremony was because the Golden Elixir Ceremony had a more urgent need for the sect, not to mention that the protagonist of this Golden Elixir Ceremony was not only Shen Jinghua was alone.
Therefore, we must not steal the limelight from the Golden Elixir Ceremony!
And the reason why it is so close to the Golden Elixir Ceremony is that this Double Cultivation Ceremony was also made more grand with the help of the atmosphere of the previous Golden Ceremony.
On this side, after listening to Zhenren Tian's words for a while, Zhuge Wenbin and the others all had a flash of deep thought in their eyes.
They had obviously realized that Zhentian suddenly brought Shen Jinghua back to the family to propose a marriage, it didn't seem so simple.
In this way, half an hour later, Zhentian Zhenren and everyone in the Zhuge family had already fixed the date for the double cultivation ceremony of Shen Jinghua and Zhuge Mingyue.
After discussing the matter of the Double Cultivation Ceremony, Shen Jinghua was invited away by the Xia family, and naturally Zhuge Mingyue was with him.
The previous major events were decided by Zhentian Zhentian and Zhuge Qingyun as the father, and the remaining sporadic trivial matters naturally needed to be handled by the mother.
. . . . . .
On the other side, in a cave of the Zhuge family, Zhentian Zhenren, Zhuge Wenbin, and Zhuge Qingyun, who is the head of the family, gathered again.
"So, the third brother is worried that Qingyang will suppress Xiaoyou Shen?"
After listening to Zhenren Tian for a while about the reason why he brought Shen Jinghua back to the family to propose marriage and the situation that Shen Jinghua might encounter in the sect, Zhuge Wenbin spoke slowly.
"Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for Senior Brother Qingyang to be fair. After all, Senior Nephew Long's background is more suitable for the sect's inheritance."
Zhen Tian frowned slightly, and then sighed.
And Zhuge Wenbin and Zhuge Qingyun next to them fell silent again, and began to seriously think about what Zhentian Zhenren just mentioned.
What Shen Jinghua formed was the highest-quality golden elixir in the world. Others may not understand what the highest-quality elixir means, but they, as senior members of the Zhuge family, must understand it.
As long as the former does not fall due to an accident in the future, he has a better chance than Long Zhuqing of stepping into the threshold of the Nascent Soul Dao, and may even be able to step into the realm above the Nascent Soul.
Now that Shen Jinghua has become a Taoist couple with Zhuge Mingyue, his Zhuge family has a closer relationship with Shen Jinghua.
In the future, as long as he can achieve Yuanying Dao, his Zhuge clan will be able to use the former's power to leave the land of exile in Lingnan.
The primary factor in all of this is to ensure Shen Jinghua's safety, and at the same time to ensure that the former can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as quickly as possible.
Therefore, their Zhuge family stood firmly behind Shen Jinghua and helped him, paving the way for his departure in the future.
Therefore, this marriage now looks like their Zhuge clan is helping Shen Jinghua, but his Zhuge clan will also need the latter's help in the future.
If you look at it from another angle, this is also like an investment. The Zhuge family is looking at Shen Jinghua's future achievements.
Furthermore, for the upper three clans including the Zhuge family, their ultimate goal is not to unify the entire Lingnan cultivating world like Qingyunmen did, their goal is always only one.
That is to go out from Lingnan and leave this place of exile!
Back then, the reason why the ancestors of their three families founded Qingyunmen together with Qingyunzi was to enable Qingyunmen to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator in a short period of time, thus taking them away from the land of Lingnan.
To put it bluntly, Qingyunmen is just a tool prepared by the three of them to leave Lingnan, and it is specially used for them to recruit talents from Lingnan and train high-level monks.
But later, after thousands of years, Qingyun Sect was still unable to produce Nascent Soul monks, and the monks of the upper three clans gradually began to give up.
So the monks of the Zongmen sect trained by the sect began to control the initiative of Qingyunmen, and the monks of the upper three clans all began to retreat behind the scenes and return to the family.
But generally speaking, both of them have the same goal of getting out of Lingnan, so they have lived in peace for many years.
Now, although True Lord Qingyang has accomplished Yuanying Dao, the monks of the upper three clans can see that the former cannot lead them out of Lingnan.
Now True Monarch Qingyang put all the bargaining chips for leaving Lingnan on his personal disciple Long Zhuqing, and wanted to train him to become True Monarch Yuanying.
But compared to Long Zhuqing, for the Zhuge family, Shen Jinghua who formed the highest quality golden core and became the son-in-law of his Zhuge family is undoubtedly more suitable.
So they will put the treasure on Shen Jinghua's body to help him achieve the Nascent Soul Dao.
After a long time, Zhuge Wenbin and Zhuge Qingyun couldn't help but look at each other. From their eyes, it was obvious that a decision had been made.
"Do you want to talk to the Jiang family and the Xia family about this matter?"
Zhuge Wenbin looked at Zhentian Zhenren, and asked thoughtfully.
"Hehe. You don't need to say it clearly, if you send the invitations to Jinghua and Mingyu's Double Cultivation Ceremony, the two families will already understand."
"As for who these two families put their treasure on in the end, we will have an answer soon."
Zhentian Zhentian smiled slightly, and said with a deep meaning.
. . . . . .
Zhentian Zhenren and Shen Jinghua can learn from the relationship between Lu Buwei and Qin Yiren, which is equivalent to a big investment.
Lu Buwei became the prime minister by virtue of Qin Yiren in the future, and the Zhuge family can use Shen Jinghua to leave Lingnan, and even gain a firm foothold in the outside world.
