Chapter 1423 On a full moon night, at the top of the Forbidden City, fight!
Haitang Duoduo's question made Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't find it strange.
After all, martial arts secrets are very precious, especially the Zhenqi mind skills practiced by people like Zhou Chen, who are at the level of a grandmaster, which are even more precious.
Just like his master's Tianyi Dao mental method, only a few people have truly inherited it in its entirety. If it is not regarded as a treasure, it will be passed on to people who meet for the first time.
"Do you think I can do anything?"
"uncertain."
Haitang Duoduo said that she didn't know, so she had to be on guard against others. Sometimes, what she got was too simple, which made people even more suspicious.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "This is my self-created Kung Fu. It is tailor-made for myself. Even if I give it to you, you may not be able to practice it. Even if you practice it, you may not be able to practice it. Since
So, why should I do anything?"
Haitang Duoduo thought about it and thought it made sense: "That's true, thank you very much."
She is a cheerful and free-spirited person, and she is still very curious about the martial arts secrets of Zhou Chen, the young grand master. After all, it is the master's own mental method. Even if she does not practice, but just learns from it, she will definitely be inspired.
Zhan Doudou finally said: "Master Zhou, if that's the case, then we will be waiting for your arrival on the night of the full moon on August 15th. Don't worry, no one will disturb your grand master battle.
"
Zhou Chen said softly: "Then thank you Your Majesty."
When Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo came to the Zhuang Mansion, they never mentioned a word about the eldest princess Zhan Pianpian until they left. They obviously agreed that Zhan Pianpian would continue to stay.
After they left, Zhou Chen smiled slightly.
This empress is quite courageous and capable of bending and stretching. If it were Emperor Qing, he would definitely not be willing to let them fight on top of the Qing Palace. If he really wanted to go, something as big as the 'Battle of Dadong Mountain' might happen in advance.
The scene is over.
But even if Zhan Doudou agreed, he still would not relax. He knew that Ku He was also an old silver coin. He had never fought against a grand master before, so he had to be fully prepared.
In the original work, among the four great masters in the world, except for Ye Liuyun, who became a great master through his own understanding, the other three all became great masters through the secret books of the temple.
In terms of combat power, Ye Liuyun should be slightly inferior to those three. After all, the temple's secret book was developed by the super-intelligent AI after countless years of research. Ye Liuyun relied on himself, no matter how high his understanding was, it would be difficult to compete with the temple's intelligence.
Compare.
He did not break through the Grand Master through the secrets of the temple, but relied on himself and the system. He felt that even the temple could not create his breakthrough method, and his combat power was inferior to that of the Grand Master who practiced the secrets of the temple.
, it shouldn’t be bad either.
He has traveled through several martial arts worlds, and his understanding and vision of martial arts surpass this world.
Of course, who is stronger or weaker can only be known after fighting. This is why he looked for Ku He first and not Si Gu Jian first.
If we really want to fight a swordsman like Sigu Jian first, the uncertainty is too great. It would be more appropriate to fight a turtle shell like Ku He first.
Fortunately, the side mission of the system only allowed him to fight against the four great masters, and did not say that he would be victorious or decide life and death.
Zhan Doudou and Begonia Duoduo took a carriage back to the palace.
In the car, Haitang Duoduo curiously asked Doudou: "What did he give you to make you hand over the palace so easily?"
"Salt."
"Salt? What do you mean?"
Zhan Doudou showed a happy smile: "If the method of making refined salt is followed as he wrote, it will create countless wealth for Daqi."
"But how can you be sure that what he gave is true?"
"Didn't you just ask the same question? A great master like that shouldn't resort to deception. What's more, there's still half a month until August 15th, which is enough for us to study according to the above method. Is it true or false?
, you will know once you try it.”
From the conversation with Zhou Chen, she could feel that Zhou Chen was a very confident and conceited person. This kind of person was extremely proud, so she felt that the possibility of lying to her was extremely slim.
Seeing Haitang Duoduo looking through the Ruyi Jin method Zhou Chen gave her, she curiously asked: "How does the Ruyi Jin method he gave you compare with the Tianyi method?"
Haitang Duoduo looked solemn and did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at it for a while and then let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's a very special mental method. It's completely different from Master's Tianyi Dao mental method. It's even different from the normal method of using Qi secrets. This Ruyi Jin's control of Qi is the most exquisite technique I've ever seen.
.”
"so smart?"
"It's hard to say, I just watched it briefly for a while, but this mental method really opened my eyes. He is about the same age as me, and he can actually create such exquisite martial arts skills and become a great master. Such a
He is really a unique martial arts genius in the world."
Thinking of her master saying that she is a rare martial arts genius, but now compared with Zhou Chen, she is really far behind.
With that said, she quickly turned to the last page.
'Live towards death, transcend the horror of life and death!'
There was no explanation of how to break through, just a short sentence, which made her fall into deep thought.
Zhan Doudou suddenly said: "If this is really his skill, then if you show it to the emperor's uncle and understand his skill, will the emperor's chance of winning be greater?"
Haitang Duoduo's expression changed and she was moved, but she quickly shook her head again.
"I guess not. Since he gave me the technique, it means that he is not afraid of being studied by the master at all."
"That's right. I don't know whether to call him arrogant or too confident."
Zhan Doudou also understands this truth. No matter which angle she stands on, she hopes that her imperial uncle can win.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you go see the princess just now?" Haitang Duoduo suddenly asked.
Zhan Doudou's expression became complicated and he said slowly: "After meeting that person, I somewhat understood why the emperor's sister voluntarily left the palace with him. The emperor's sister had stayed in the palace since she was a child and had always yearned for the outside world. Since she
I think, let’s fulfill her wish.”
"Aren't you afraid that he will kidnap the princess?"
"Haha, if this is the case, not only will I not stop them, but I will do my best to help them."
Haitang Duoduo understood what Zhan Doudou meant. He was a great master. If the princess could tie up a great master, it would be a great joy.
Zhan Doudou suddenly held his chin and muttered: "Little sister-in-law, you said that Zhou Chen went to the palace and took away the emperor's sister without doing anything. He must have fallen in love with the emperor's sister, right? Yes, I just didn't think about it.
I understand why he gave his skills to you, the young aunt, whom he met for the first time. Now think about it, is he interested in you, the young aunt?"
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Begonia Duoduo was choked and kept coughing, her face turned red.
"How can it be?"
Zhan Doudou made a serious analysis: "It is very possible that although he is a grand master, he is also a man who has not yet been crowned. He is versatile in both civil and military affairs. In the past, he must have spent all his time and energy on practicing martial arts and
I haven’t experienced the wonders of women since I was studying, and I’m still in my prime of life. When I see a beautiful girl, I will inevitably be attracted to her.”
"Yes, it must be like this. Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty, and great masters are also human beings."
The more she talked, the brighter her eyes became. If Zhou Chen could be tied to Qi, then they would have another great master in Qi.
Looking at Zhan Doudou who had fallen into self-imagination, Haitang Duoduo sighed.
It's really hard to be the emperor. Look, everyone is so confused. They are looking for trouble, but in the end, you are still thinking about them.
??????55.??????
Will the Grand Master be deceived by beauty?
Thinking of Zhou Chen's young and handsome appearance, she suddenly felt a little unsure.
As soon as Zhan Doudou and the others left, Zhuang Mohan came. He had no other questions and just came to discuss knowledge with Zhou Chen.
For Zhuang Mohan, whether Zhou Chen is a Qingren or a great master has nothing to do with him. What he cares about is Zhou Chen's talent and learning.
Zhou Chen also respects Zhuang Mohan very much. There are talents in all walks of life, but Zhuang Mohan is the most outstanding type of person and deserves respect.
Although he will have a battle with Ku He in half a month, he has no intention of improvising. When he reaches the realm of Grand Master, he is already at another level. It does not mean that he will become stronger the longer he practices, let alone half of this mere
moon.
Zhou Chen settled down peacefully in Zhuang Mohan's mansion. During the day, he would accompany Zhan Pianpian to the city for fun, and sometimes he would go out for outings outside the city. After returning home, he would discuss knowledge with Zhuang Mohan.
It was a very relaxing and comfortable time.
On the contrary, the Northern Qi Dynasty was under great pressure. Neither the young emperor nor the Queen Mother publicized Zhou Chen's appointment with Ku He. As a powerful official in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Shen Yan naturally did not want such things to spread that might harm the prestige of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Therefore, even in Shangjing City, the number of people who truly understand this matter is less than the number of hands.
The guards of the palace were several times tighter than before. Even the ministers who didn't know what was happening gradually realized that something was unusual. This also led to a change in the atmosphere in Shangjing City. It felt like there was a roar of wind and cranes, and everyone was surrounded by soldiers.
The spies from various countries lurking in Shangjing City have not dared to make any more noise during this period of time, and they have hidden themselves deeper than anyone else.
In the blink of an eye, there are only a few days until August 15th.
August 13, inside the palace.
Zhan Doudou looked at the information passed back from Nanqing with a serious expression. After reading it, he handed it to Haitang Duoduo.
"Little sister-in-law, take a look, is it him?"
The information in the letter was sent back by spies hiding in Nanqing who sacrificed their lives. For this information, their spies in Nanqing in the Northern Qi Dynasty suffered heavy losses.
Haitang Duoduo took it and looked at it for a few times, and then saw the person surrounded by Zhan Doudou.
"Zhou Chen, the legitimate son of the Earl of Anyuan in Nanqing, the sole heir to the Earl of Anyuan, is nineteen years old, lives in seclusion, and has no portrait..."
"It was found that there are nineteen people named Zhou Chen registered in Nanqing, but their names, ages, and all characteristics are very consistent. The legitimate son of the Earl of Anyuan is ranked first. I have
I have a hunch that it should be him."
After meeting Zhou Chen and knowing his identity, she and the Queen Mother immediately mobilized personnel to launch an investigation. They used countless methods and sacrificed many spies to obtain this information.
"It is indeed very possible. It's just that such a marginalized figure who never leaves home and lives in Nanqing and Kyoto can actually become a great master. It's so surprising."
"Yes, according to my estimation, no one in Nanqing knows his strength, otherwise it would be impossible to remain indifferent."
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
Zhan Doudou put his hands behind his back, looked forward, and said quietly: "Everything will have to wait until August 15th."
Yes, any decision must be made after the Grand Master Battle.
August 15th, sunny!
There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the dinner table today. Except for Zhou Chen who was eating seriously, Zhuang Mohan and Zhan Pianpian almost didn't use their chopsticks.
Zhou Chen put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhan Pianpian and Zhuang Mohan who had worried faces, and smiled slightly.
"Don't worry about me. It's just a fight, not a battle of life and death."
Having said that, how could the two of them not be worried about the Grand Master battle?
Ordinary battles between masters are all about swords and shadows, and are full of dangers. How dangerous will the battle between the great masters be?
Master Zhou Chenyi is bold and fearless, but they are different.
Zhuang Mohan regarded Zhou Chen as a confidant and did not want anything to happen to Zhou Chen.
Zhan Pianpian's mood was even more complicated. She had never been with a man for so long and was so happy with him. She had already carried Zhou Chen in her heart. She wanted to always let Zhou Chen take her to travel around the mountains.
Water, so she also didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Chen.
She wanted to persuade, but in the end she didn't have the courage to say it. She knew that Zhou Chen could not be persuaded by her, and this battle was inevitable.
"The full moon is approaching, and I have to make some preparations. You don't have to worry about me."
Zhou Chen returned to his yard, adjusted his breath and meditated, preparing for the battle in the evening.
The carriage came to the palace. Although Zhan Pianpian was very reluctant to leave, she had to follow the carriage back to the palace. Before leaving, she did not disturb Zhou Chen. She just looked in the direction of the yard for a long time before finally changing into clothes.
, left the Zhuang Mansion.
The sky gradually turned dark, and Zhou Chen, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the moonlight in the sky with a solemn expression as he stood upright.
"Time is up."
When walking out of the courtyard, Zhou Chen saw Zhuang Mohan. Neither of them spoke. Finally, Zhou Chen smiled at him, saluted, and flew away in the air, heading towards the palace.
Zhuang Mohan sighed quietly, he had his pursuit, Zhou Chen also had Zhou Chen's pursuit, no one had the right to stop others.
In the palace, Ku He was waiting quietly, and around him, there were several people standing. Except for Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother, they were all his disciples.
"The moon is already full."
I don't know who spoke first. This sentence was like a switch. Ku He who was sitting there suddenly opened his eyes, and an indescribable momentum burst out from his body.
"coming!"
The next moment, his figure quickly rushed out of the palace, and then came to the roof of the main hall.
Haitang Duoduo, Lang Tao and others also rushed out of the hall quickly. Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother were a little slower, but they came outside under the escort of Shen Zhong.
Everyone looked up and saw two figures standing on the roof, one on each side, fighting against each other.
"The late learner is the last to advance, learn from the seniors' clever tricks!" Zhou Chen was the first to speak.
Ku He is an elderly man, but he doesn't look old. He has a light and calm temperament, just like an enlightened monk.
"Zhou Chen, this is the first time I heard your name. You are from Nanqing. Who did you study under?"
"I am indeed from the Qing Kingdom. As for my inheritance, I don't have one for the time being."
"To be able to create a Kung Fu like Ruyi Jin without being taught by a teacher is truly a hero coming from a young age. It's amazing."
Ku He looked at the young Zhou Chen, his eyes flashing with light. Zhou Chen was indeed a great master like him, but it was just like this that made him shocked.
Among the four great masters in the world, only Ye Liuyun did not learn the secrets of the temple. Now there is another Zhou Chen, and he is still nineteen years old. He is a great master who created his own martial arts, and he learned it only after being praised by Zhuang Mohan, the great master of literature.
people.
With such talent and amazing talent, there is only one person in his life whose grace can be compared to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was not surprised at all when Ku He mentioned Ruyi Jin. Since he gave it to Begonia Duoduo, he was not afraid of being seen by Ku He.
Even though Ku He is a great master, he has already formed his own lineage after all. The biggest role of Ruyi Jin for him is to understand his own inner energy.
But having been promoted to Grand Master, he has already broken away from the scope of Ruyi Jin and reached a higher level.
Neither of them spoke anymore, their figures elongated under the moonlight.
Although they haven't taken action yet, the people watching the battle below have already held their breath.
