    Chapter 34 Junior Brother

    The exchange conference in the metaphysical world is held once every three years, for three days each time. This time it was held at Jingkong Temple.

    Jingkong Temple has a history of thousands of years and is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It has been there since the Tang Dynasty and is very famous. Many pilgrims come here every year. Over time, it has become a tourist attraction.

    With the opening of Jingkong Temple to the outside world, various tourist facilities on the mountain have also been enriched.

    Chu Ruocun is currently staying in the hotel closest to Jingkong Temple, and tourists have to book it a month in advance.

    During the three-day exchange meeting, the hotel was not open to the public, and the road to Jingkong Temple was blocked, because the grand scene of the exchange meeting was not suitable for opening to pilgrims.

    After a night's rest, Chu Ruocun was full of energy and met Feng Qi and Xu Mengying in the restaurant.

    The two big stars were standing there, and many young practitioners wanted to come forward and ask for autographs. After thinking about their status today and the elders of the sect, they suppressed their curiosity.

    After Chu Ruocun appeared, he expanded the number of celebrities in their metaphysics world.

    Practitioners from unknown sects murmur privately, when did the world of metaphysics start to learn from the entertainment industry? No wonder the younger generations are not as good as the previous ones. They all go to become celebrities to make quick money. Sooner or later, the world of metaphysics will be over.

    Xu Mengying has a relatively fiery personality and almost stepped forward to argue with the guy who was mostly bald. However, Chu Ruocun and Feng Qi, who were at the same table, turned a deaf ear to this and felt that they were making a big fuss. In case the other person was just jealous of them,Do you want to see these celebrities get into trouble?

    Chu Ruocun saw that Xu Mengying finally calmed down and gave her an approving look. Xu Mengying was comforted and had breakfast with peace of mind.

    She was not familiar with the young people from other sects who were traveling with her at all, and each of them looked down on the other, and she was too lazy to join them.

    After almost finishing eating, she received a call from the sect to gather a group, wiped her mouth and left first.

    After Xu Mengying left, Feng Qi started talking more: "Will you join us later?"

    Chu Ruocun ate a small piece of corn: "I thought you weren't going."

    "I don't want to go, but I can't resist my parents. Maybe they will block me at the door of the restaurant now." The two elders were very persistent about his matter, although he didn't know what was wrong with his body.

    Chu Ruocun sympathized with his situation and said with a smile: "If they can't find another master to help you solve the problem, will you look for me?"

    In the past, Feng Qi would have definitely asked him what problems he could have. He was in great health and had no problems at all.

    But today is different from the past. After he was shocked by Chu Ruocun's superb ghost-catching skills, he had to admit that there really were ghosts in the world.

    "Do I really have a problem?" Feng Qi wanted to face the problem his parents said, but he had no idea.

    Chu Ruocun remembered what Bai Yichen had mentioned, that Feng Qi would not live to be thirty years old.

    However, he shook his head: "It's not you who has the problem."

    After all, Feng Qi still believed in Chu Ruocun and breathed a sigh of relief: "I just said, what can I do?"

    Chu Ruocun said: "But..."

    Just as he was about to continue, his words were intercepted by Yang Wenxin who suddenly appeared.

    "Feng Qi, Ruocun, let's go. The exchange conference is about to start. Let's find a seat first."

    A group of four people went to the exchange conference site.

    There are many large and small sects from all over the country, and each sect has young talents who are coming out to see the world. Fortunately, Jingkong Temple is large and has sufficient seats.

    The Feng family's status in the metaphysical world is not bad. There are other juniors in their family, but they all sit in other positions.

    The exchange conference is mainly a communication platform for young people. The elders only come to have a look. If it were not for their son, neither Feng Jiu nor his wife would come.

    Of course, this does not mean that exchange conferences are unimportant for the elders. Young people need to communicate, and the various sects also need to interact.

    Each major sect made a collective appearance, each with its own momentum and characteristics.

    The organizer won’t say anything. Jingkong Temple is naturally full of monks, so there is nothing to say.

    The Qingyue Sect is the most impressive, and its clothes are all uniform modern and improved Taoist robes, which are quite keeping pace with the times.

    Comparable to Qingyue Sect, Juxing Sect and Yufeng Sect also have their own characteristics and styles.

    Other small sects cast many envious glances at the three sects.

    After most of them were seated, the 30th Exchange Conference of Metaphysics officially began.

    Chu Ruocun has seen the process of the exchange conference. One hour is a lengthy speech, and the next three days are the exchange ceremony of the conference. It will be divided into different projects. Each sect can send disciples to participate, and casual cultivators only need to be no more than twenty.People as young as 20 years old can also participate in competitions in various events.

    After listening to the official speech for an hour, the morning communication competition officially began.

    The first event is a competition that brings together young talents from all major sects.

    There are QR codes hanging in every corner of the venue. As long as you scan the code, you can sign up for the 100-person competition in half an hour.

    The test location is in the back mountain, and the whole process is broadcast live.

    Jingkong Temple has money and land, so arranging a mountain to compete on is not a problem at all.

    Chu Ruocun took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to sign up.

    Feng Qi was a little worried and whispered: "My mother told me last night that the disciples of several major sects are very powerful. Are you sure you want to go?"

    Chu Ruocun nodded: "Well, they haven't said the rules of the competition yet, I guess it'll be fine."

    Feng Qi was actually puzzled: "Why compete?"

    Chu Ruocun thought for a moment: "For debut?"

    Feng Qi was amused by him: "That's right, every circle has its own rules."

    As long as there are different levels of people, as long as there is unfairness, as long as there are strengths and weaknesses, there will be rules and there will be winners and losers. This is competition.

    A small green box pops up on Chu Ruocun's cell phone indicating that the registration was successful, and reminds him to go to the entrance and wait for the start of the competition.

    Feng Jiu and his wife were called to be the referee before they knew Chu Ruocun had signed up. Later, they came back and took Feng Qi away.

    The cheerleader disappeared before Feng Qi had time to tell Chu Ruocun, which shows that Feng Jiu and his wife really care about their son.

    Chu Ruocun remembered something.

    Half an hour later, the exchange conference received 101 registration applications.

    One hundred young people were all waiting at the entrance, and each sect stood together.

    Xu Mengying found Chu Ruocun who was standing alone.

    "Together?"

    "Can."

    "I don't know what to compete with this time."

    The competition rules were published on everyone’s registration applet. For those who didn’t bring their mobile phones, today’s competition rules were also written at the entrance.

    The competition starts at ten o'clock in the morning. As long as the monks come out of the mountain within the specified time, the competition will be completed. Those who do not come out will be regarded as a failed challenge and will not be eligible for the next competition.

    The entire mountain is a giant formation. Various events may occur within the formation. There are also cameras and drones patrolling the area.

    The last point is, if there is a disagreement among the monks, please stop it and do not harm your life.

    Everyone has the corresponding number plate on their body when registering and wears a tracker. This is also to ensure the safety of disciples of various sects.

    There was once a person who participated in a competition and fell into a ravine and could not climb out because of his bad skills. He almost starved to death in the formation. Fortunately, in the end, all the families worked together to locate the missing person through fortune telling, modern technology and other means, and the missing person was located.Found the other party.

    Feng Qi followed his parents to a front seat in a backstage live broadcast room, where all those who had not participated in the competition could see the status of all contestants.

    Just after listening to his parents talk about the accident that happened at the exchange meeting, Feng Qi felt a little regretful for not persuading Chu Ruocun.

    But why did he want to attend the exchange conference?

    At the beginning of the game, there was no climax. Feng Jiu and Yang Wenxin took Feng Qi to see Master Huaici, the abbot of Jingkong Temple.

    "Master Huaici, my son..."

    "I know why you two came here." Master Weisz knew it at a glance. He shook his head, "This matter needs an opportunity. I can't help you two."

    "Can you give my son some direction?" Feng Jiu wrote anxiously, "Where is his opportunity?"

    Master Huaici said kindly: "Perhaps at this exchange conference, why don't we take a look at this competition first."

    Feng Jiu said: "But there have been no particularly outstanding Celestial Masters in recent years."

    Master Huaici agreed with him: "It is indeed true, but there may be an eventuality."

    Feng Qi had seen the disappointed looks in his parents' eyes countless times. He didn't want them to be like this, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to sit down with them to watch this hundred-person competition, and looked for Chu Ruocun's expression on every screen.figure.

    However, everyone's attention fell on the more talented disciples of several major sects, and the most discussed ones were the disciples of the three or four sects of Jingkong Temple, Qingyue Sect, Star Gathering Sect, and Yufeng Sect.

    People outside looked relaxed, but the disciples of various sects who had fallen into the formation were not as relaxed as they imagined.

    Although they had made all preparations before coming, they still could not withstand such a sudden operation as rain. Who would have thought that the sky outside the formation would be clear, but inside the formation there would be sudden violent winds and rain, and almost everyone would be caught.I was so cold from the shower that I didn’t even have a dry corner of my clothes.

    However, there were exceptions. Thanks to Chu Ruocun, Xu Mengying felt refreshed all over her body. As soon as they entered the formation, they got under a piece of plantain. Xu Mengying thought Chu Ruocun was afraid of the sun at first, so she stillShe wanted to laugh at him, but it turned out that the clown was herself. Finally, she obediently found a banana leaf and got into it.

    The two escaped the heavy rain.

    Xu Mengying asked: "Do you know what formation this is?"

    Chu Ruocun said without hesitation: "Tai Chi generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, and four images generate Bagua. This is the Bagua array."

    Xu Mengying: "If you want to go out, you just need to find the living door, right?"

    Chu Ruocun nodded and told her the answer directly: "If you keep walking eastward and don't look back, you will find the Shengmen and you can get out in half an hour."

    Xu Mengying felt as if she was enjoying the treatment of a top student copying answers for poor students, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not.

    "Don't worry, I won't lie to you. I'm not here for the last place." He looked at a camera not far away, "I'm here to make their competition more difficult."

    "Huh?" Xu Mengying sounded like something was wrong, but it sounded like something a boss would say.

    "Go out as soon as possible. Don't look back. No matter what sound you hear or what happens, don't look back." Chu Ruocun said.

    "Do you need me to stay and help you?" Xu Mengying asked. It seemed a bit immoral to leave now. Would it be too simple to leave?

    "This is my business, you can't help." Chu Ruocun shook his head. In fact, he and Xu Mengying were not familiar enough to need her help. Moreover, her moral character was too low, and he was thinking that the other party had given himFor the sake of this invitation letter, I gave her a little nudge and gave her the first place in this competition.

    Xu Mengying didn't hesitate. Since she couldn't help Chu Ruocun, and she didn't want to make herself so embarrassed, she might as well accept his favor. After all, she knew herself quite well, and the skills were there. She could get out, butThere will definitely be a lot of levels to go through in the end.

    Chu Ruocun told her in a calm tone that he was here to increase the difficulty, which meant that Chu Ruocun had his own purpose. His words were so calm and convincing that they were really not a joke.

    Who is he?

    Xu Mengying followed Chu Ruocun's instructions and walked eastward.

    Half an hour later.

    In this competition, the first contestant to use the formation method appeared.

    Xu Mengying felt like she was in a dream, she really came out!

    Chu Ruocun is really a big boss. All the top disciples from other sects are locked up inside!

    Xu Ruofeng, the leader of the Linshui Sect, who had no expectations for his disciples, was almost dumbfounded.

    The first place is his own disciple?

    Is it reasonable for him not to know the conduct of his disciples?

    "Did it come out by accident?" someone asked suspiciously.

    Not to mention other people, even Xu Ruofeng, the sect master who knew Xu Mengying’s level best, thought it was so, but his disciple was the first one to come out, and his face was not only filled with joy, but luck was also a kind of strength!

    Xu Ruofeng called Xu Mengying over and asked her how she got out.

    Xu Mengying has nothing to hide: "My friend pointed me out."

    Xu Ruofeng was puzzled: "Then why didn't your friend come out with you?"

    How would Xu Mengying know? She couldn't say Chu Ruocun's very cool and so-so line.

    "Sect Master, I want to do it too, but my friend said he still wants to play in there for a while." That's all Xu Mengying could say.

    "What a confident kid. He doesn't know that there are many things in the formation..." Xu Ruofeng stopped talking when he saw the disciple standing in front of him.

    The other party knew, otherwise how could Xu Mengying run out?

    Xu Mengying's senior businessman is over twenty-five years old. He is not very good, but he is shrewd.

    "Is he the little star who had dinner with you this morning?"

    "yes."

    "It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance, junior sister, you are indeed very lucky."

    "It's okay, why don't you, senior brother, your company is listed on the market."

    The two brothers and sisters complimented each other.

    Their sect is not very good at practicing, but they are successful in all walks of life. I don't know if their ancestors were too poor before, but now they only prosper in this.

    Xu Ruofeng coughed, and then the two of them stopped their prepared compliments.

    Others only thought Xu Mengying was lucky.

    At this moment, snowflakes appeared on all the display screens in the indoor viewing area, and all camera links were cut off.

    "what happened?"

    "Is there a problem with the backend technology?"

    "Let's just say that today's high technology is not very good."

    "Send someone quickly to the backstage to see where the accident occurred and repair it quickly."

    After a while, the people from the technical department came back and reported that there was no problem with their camera link, all the lines were not disconnected, and even the network was full.

    At the Metaphysics Exchange Conference, there is no need to pursue the issue of technology.

    Master Huaici looked at Gong Lijiu, the leader of Qingyue Sect.

    "This Bagua formation was arranged by the Palace Master himself. Who broke it?"

    In the palace, Jiuhe has a childlike face. Although he is about the same age as Master Huaici, his face is like that of a thirty-year-old man, without any signs of weathering.

    "No one of my disciples has the ability to break my formation within half an hour." Gong Lijiu still has this confidence.

    "So someone has affected the signal transmission of the camera?" Master Huaici said.

    "I don't see it." Sect Leader Dai of the Star Convergence Sect, whose head was brighter than Master Huaici, touched the top of his head and said, "Is it possible that it's ghost energy?"

    "There are no evil ghosts in the formation, so how can there be ghost energy, Sect Leader Dai?" Gong Lijiu asked back.

    Sect Leader Dai disliked people calling him this title, so he smiled and said, "This is the formation you arranged, and I don't know it clearly."

    He was ready to mess around.

    Gong Lijiu did not intend to argue with Sect Leader Dai, but looked at Master Huaici: "Master Huaici will only arrange this formation if he trusts me. If you don't believe me, you must also trust Master Huaici."

    Having said that, what else do you have to doubt? Isn't it because they are afraid that Gong Lijiu will cheat their disciples? In the early years, a certain sect did this in order to let his disciples stand out in the competition., but Gong Lijiu didn't even bother to do such a thing.

    Master Huaici said: "It's better to take a look again."

    After all, it was his territory and he could still control it.

    Just as he was talking, all the screens in the hall returned to their original state.

    However, Gong Lijiu could feel that the formation had become stronger.

    Sect Leader Dai suddenly sneered and slapped his palms on the table: "Gong Lijiu, didn't you just say that there won't be ghosts in the formation? Do you think what these children are dealing with now?"

    Gong Lijiu himself was quite confused: "I don't know, someone changed my formation."

    Sect Master Dai: "Your Qingyue Sect is proficient in formations. How could you not know? Could it be that you let the fierce ghost in so that your disciples can get the upper hand?"

    This question is quite unreasonable, because the first person to come out is Xu Mengying, who is quite ordinary in Linshui Sect.

    Master Huaici also looked at Gong Lijiu, hoping he could give an explanation. There could be no evil ghosts left in Jingkong Temple. The ghosts had been purified here, and they would still have the ability to come out unless someone brought them in.

    Gong Lijiu really couldn't explain it, but then, they saw Gong Ming, the chief disciple of the Qingyue Sect and the direct disciple of Gong Lijiu, having his neck curled up by a snake-like black shadow!

    Fortunately, other disciples helped him get rid of the black shadow, which was full of dangers.

    Where did this black shadow come from?

    Gong Lijiu was actually shocked to find out who had changed his formation. Now the person who could control the formation was someone else.

    Whoever He wants to live will live; whoever He wants to die, the bones may not be preserved.

    Opponents who could do this flashed through his mind one by one.

    Is this person from the Qingyue Sect?

    Who is it?

    Not only the disciples of the Qingyue Sect were attacked by the fierce ghosts, but the disciples of the other three sects also escaped this disaster. Every one of them was in a miserable state. No matter how neat and beautiful their Taoist robes were, they had already rolled in the dirt.Several laps, as dirty as you want.

    Someone suddenly said: "This young man looks very relaxed."

    Feng Qi finally found Chu Ruocun. He was sitting on a branch of a tree, with one leg bent and leisurely admiring the panic of the sect disciples as they dealt with the fierce ghosts.

    Yang Wenxin was sincerely happy for him: "Ruocun's performance is not bad, Feng Qi, do you really not know which sect he is from?"

    Feng Qi shook his head: "Mom, don't ask, I really don't know."

    Feng Jiu observed something else: "A fierce ghost has appeared. Can they come out? There have been no fierce ghosts in previous competitions."

    When he realized that no one was answering his words, he realized that the atmosphere around him was wrong.

    Chu Ruocun's laid-back attitude was in sharp contrast to the others, and he unconsciously attracted the attention of the sect leaders.

    Gong Lijiu looked at the screen with Chu Ruocun, and met Chu Ruocun's raised gaze. He moved his lips toward the camera.

    He said: "Long time no see."

    The moment Gong Lijiu saw this face and this smile, his whole body was froze in place, his head was buzzing, and his mind was dazed for a moment.

    There is still one person in the world who can break the formation he has set up, but he cannot be alive. If he is dead, he will be dead a long time ago.

    And the person waving to him on the screen was indeed his junior brotherChu Ruocun.
