Views:

Zhang Xiaowen stuffed things into a random ball, then thought about it and threw out a few more, and sorted it out again.

"Xiaowen, what are you doing?" Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaowen's twin brother, suddenly poked his head out from the next room.

Zhang Xiaowen was thinking of picking something to bring over to restore his image in the eyes of Demon Lord Huangquan, so he didn't notice him for a moment.

"Slap," Zhang Xiaowu slapped Zhang Xiaowen on the forehead, and said carelessly, "Are you going to escape?"

Zhang Xiaowen said in his heart that he was not fleeing from disaster, but rushing to suffer disaster.

"Don't make trouble, I'm busy." He shook off his brother's hand and packed his things distractedly, but he was not satisfied no matter what.

"Are you getting too angry? Hey, what can't you tell your brother? Have you fallen in love with a junior sister?" Zhang Xiaowu leaned over and smiled, with an expression of "I understand".

Zhang Xiaowen suddenly saw the face of Huangquan Mozun in his mind, and suddenly he was covered in cold sweat, and sat down on the ground.

"...Even if it hits the mark, you don't have to react so much, right?" Zhang Xiaowu was dumbfounded.

Zhang Xiaowen hugged his brother's thigh and cried loudly: "Brother, you have to save me! I'm really going to die! Please help me!"

Zhang Xiaowu has never seen this child cry at his age, so he didn't know what's going on, so he quickly asked, "What are you doing? Just tell brother if you have anything to do!"

"I sneaked up to Moonwatching Peak today..."

Zhang Xiaowu let out an "ah" in his heart, thinking of you, isn't that just trying to kill you

"and then?"

Zhang Xiaowen stammered and told the story about Huangquan Mozun asking him to go to Wangyue Peak, and now Zhang Xiaowu also froze in cold sweat.

"Then, then you can go..." Zhang Xiaowu whispered.

"Are you cheating my brother like this!?" Zhang Xiaowen dissatisfied, "There is no living thing in the whole Moon-Watching Peak! Besides, Huangquan Demon Venerable is surrounded by a man and a woman, both of whom are insane. Made it look like that!"

"Bah, bah, isn't the Demon Lord a living thing?" Zhang Xiaowu grabbed a jade talisman and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaowen's mouth, for fear that he would continue to talk nonsense, "The Demon Lord of Huangquan... is the one who has only been acquainted for ten years, but he has monopolized a main peak all by himself. ?”

"It's all said to be Wangyue Peak, but who else is she!?" Zhang Xiaowen spat out the jade talisman, "The blood she got in the South China Sea in the past ten years can drown the entire Six Paths Yan Mozong..."

"Don't talk nonsense, the massacre in the South China Sea was for the sake of the sect's rebellion, and it wasn't your own people who were killed, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"It's not my own!?" Zhang Xiaowen raised his voice, "You said it was a counter-insurgency, how come those in the South China Sea are not from the Demon Dao! She is the Demon Slayer Demon!"

"Okay, okay, you obediently listen to the Demon Lord, and practice hard under her seat. If you behave well, you can look good as a brother." Zhang Xiaowu comforted him. It is more lethal. Probably because of his withdrawn personality, solitary behavior, and refusing to refute the rumors, it is now spreading more and more terrifyingly.

"You want to go, anyway, I don't want to die!" Zhang Xiaowen hugged Zhang Xiaowu's thigh tightly.

Zhang Xiaowu was really moved when he heard this.

As far as he knows, Demon Lord Huangquan is the youngest among the six direct disciples and the latest one to get started. Moreover, the suzerain had an extremely kind attitude towards her, and directly promoted her to be a direct descendant without even entering Taoism. This kind of thing is almost unheard of in the orthodox inheritance. Ten years ago, as soon as Huangquan Demon Venerable became a disciple, the suzerain gave her Wangyue Peak. Later, she thought it was too noisy, so the suzerain directly moved all the disciples on the peak to other places. In other words, now the entire Wangyue peak is only Huangquan Demon Lord alone.

There are even rumors in the outer sect that she is the illegitimate daughter of the suzerain, one can imagine the respect of this person's status.

This generation of direct disciples has not yet started accepting disciples, but taking this opportunity to learn from Huangquan Mozun's side, it must be of great benefit under the influence of ears and eyes. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowu gritted his teeth and said to his younger brother, "Okay, I'll go for you!"

Zhang Xiaowen was stunned, and then overjoyed: "Brother! You are really my real brother!"

Yan Mo Tianzi Peak, side hall.

It was dark and gloomy inside, even if countless lamps were lit, it was still difficult to see clearly, and there was a darkness that light could not penetrate shrouded here.

A screen separates the main seat of the side hall from the outside, and the six circles of life and death are painted in bright colors on the screen, which can be seen very clearly in this drowsy side hall. The wheel of life and death of the six realms is the wheel that carries people in the cycle of life and death. This wheel rolls forward, and countless lives cycle back and forth between life and death, and there is no detachment. It is mainly black and red, and the scenes of the six hells densely fill the entire screen, which makes people feel indescribably depressing.

"Thousand changes, you step back."

A dignified voice came from the front seat.

Qian Bian caressed Zhu Hua, smiled and stepped back, before leaving, he secretly winked at Yun Qing.

"Huang Quan, come forward."

Yun Qing took a few steps forward, approached the screen, and could vaguely see the figure sitting inside.

"Come closer, come to this seat."

Yun Qing was startled, walked around the screen and walked in.

A thick blanket was spread inside the screen, and a picture of a hundred ghosts was painted on the blanket, with a middle-aged Taoist sitting cross-legged in the center. He was dressed in black clothes, with a serious and introverted expression, and a handsome and unrestrained look in his eyebrows and eyes. He must have been in the wind when he was young. He has a long beard, and the aura around him is peaceful and unfathomable.

Yun Qing felt that her master didn't look like a demon cultivator at first glance, but more like a teacher.

"What are you doing in a daze?" The middle-aged Taoist always looked very stern, appearing calm and pretentious.

"I always feel that Master shouldn't look like this." Yun Qing replied honestly. This was the first time in ten years that she entered the screen and looked at his face.

"Tell me what this seat should look like?" The suzerain didn't tell her to stick to appearance or anything, but asked her opinion seriously. When he asked, Yun Qing felt that he was like a private school teacher waving a ruler .

"...Sword eyebrows and star eyes, handsome and charming, evil smile and so on." Yun Qing coughed in embarrassment after finishing speaking.

"..." The suzerain's thick eyebrows gradually stood up.

Yun Qing hurriedly said: "I don't know what Master is looking for me this time?"

"In recent years...not in recent years, for the past thousand years, the South China Sea demon cultivators have continued to rebel, trying to enter the realm of no delusional demons. You have done a good job of suppressing the rebellion." Although the suzerain is praising, but the expression is so severe that Yun Qing always feels Did I do something wrong.

"It should be for the sect to share the worries and solve the problems." Yun Qing couldn't help but answer solemnly.

"However, I have handed over the matter of the South China Sea to Venerable Yi Du, and I am looking for you this time for the matter of the Southwest Islands." The suzerain said, "There is a fairy trail in the Southwest."

Yun Qing's heart skipped a beat. The two ways of immortality and demons have never interfered with each other. In other words, as far as she knows, the way of magic has never had any major conflicts with other ways. What does it mean that the suzerain suddenly mentioned that there is a fairy trail in the southwest

"Southwest...?"

Southwest refers to the southwest of the entire sea area, not the southwest of the Realm of Immortality. In the great world, there is Beichuan Continent in the north, Nanfeng Continent in the south, and islands in the east and west. The south of Nanfeng is connected to the Wuhuang Demon Realm, and the north of Beichuan is connected to the Tongtian Shenmai. In other words, the due east of the southwest sea area is the Nanfeng Continent.

The suzerain quickly asked: "After receiving the news, the Disillusioned Heavenly Demon Sect and the Huatian Desire Demon Sect sent disciples to investigate, but nothing was found. What do you think?"

"If it comes from the Tongtian Shenmai, then it is not difficult to avoid detection." Yun Qing expressed her thoughts.

"And what else?" asked the suzerain.

"Forgive me for being stupid." Yun Qing didn't say any more, for if she said too much, she would be wrong.

"Just go to the southwestern sea area. In recent years, nine immortals have entered the world in Shenyin Sect. Just find out who came." The suzerain took a deep look at her and explained briefly.

"Disciple obeys orders." Yun Qing nodded quietly.

"Go down." The suzerain waved.

Yun Qing saluted, turned and left, and the whole side hall fell into dead silence again.

When she walked out of the side hall, she found that Qian Bian was no longer there, so she returned to Wangyue Peak alone.

Southwest... This place is very sensitive, because the Southern Continent and the Beichuan Continent are separated by strong winds, and the Great Teleportation Formation has been destroyed. Therefore, to send a large number of disciples to Jiuming, the only way to go around in a big circle is through the Northwest and Southwest Seas. . But if this is the case, then there must be a lot of people sent by Tongtian Shenmai. The huge number of people has not been discovered, which can only mean that the other party has great supernatural powers.

But Yun Qing hadn't yet entered the Tao at this time, so he was emptied of the title of a direct disciple, and he definitely couldn't compete with the entire fleet of immortal elites. At this time, if the suzerain sent an ordinary disciple, she would not be surprised, and if he sent other direct disciples, she would not be surprised either. Because ordinary disciples are used as cannon fodder, there is no need to worry about their lives if they are passed on, but at this juncture he took Yun Qing out to investigate, which is a bit intriguing.

The meaning hidden in the suzerain's actions determined what Yun Qing should do when she went out this time, so she could only speculate carefully as she walked.

All along, the suzerain seems to have trusted her very much, and no one in the direct lineage is treated as special as she is. But Yun Qing knew in her heart that if she really trusted her, she would not deliberately push her to the forefront with a respectful status that did not match her strength. If she trusted her, she would not let Qian Bian, who grew up in the sect, approach her and test her.

The most important thing is that although the suzerain personally taught her the Great Sun Hei Tian Chakra every year after getting started, he never mentioned the two lineages of Yan Mo Po Lun Chakra and Liu Dao Wusheng Chakra.

You must know that the Great Sun Hei Tianlun can be regarded as violent and fierce in all the orthodox ways of magic, and it is not suitable for beginners. Almost no one in the sect uses it to enter the Tao, because it is too risky and too difficult. It was precisely this inheritance that Yun Qing was stuck at the entrance gate, unable to advance an inch. This attitude can also make Yun Qing see some things clearly. She was not tried to be a real disciple of Yan Mozong of the Six Paths.

During the past ten years, she practiced in Moonlight Peak every spring and summer, and guarded the South China Sea in autumn and winter. In the past ten years, she has been bloodied countless times, and every head is a proof. I don't know how many corpses and seas of blood are needed before that old guy can regard her as a doorman.

Right now, Wizard of the Southwest may be a good opportunity, but it comes with huge risks.

Yun Qing walked on the water and went up to Moonwatching Peak against the current. After thinking about it this way, she almost knew it in her mind. She survived this trip to the southwest sea area first, and then thought about being promoted to Taoism.

Halfway up the mountain, she suddenly remembered the little disciple today, so she walked around the Canglang Pavilion and walked to the small pool.

A simple wooden shed was built beside the small pond, and a young man who looked exactly like Zhang Xiaowen was shaking his head and reading on the big rock in front of the pond.

Yun Qing stepped forward and saw that there was nothing on the cover of the book.

"What book did you study?" Yun Qing whispered behind him.

Zhang Xiaowu was taken aback, and fell off the stone with a "plop" and fell into the pool, soaking his body and books thoroughly.

He struggled for a long time before he climbed ashore, shivering and said, "Your Honor."

"What book did you read?"

"The collection of myths and novels written by mortals and mortals is called "Xuan Ming Ji"." Zhang Xiaowu replied honestly.

"Oh." Yun Qing responded lightly, "Are you Zhang Xiaowen's brother?"

Zhang Xiaowu's mind went blank, and he fell to his knees: "I didn't intend to deceive the Venerable! It's because my brother is afraid..."

"It's okay, you can stay here." Yun Qing didn't say much, turned around and left.

When her figure was about to disappear into the dense forest, she suddenly turned her head and said, "Then "Xuan Ming Ji"... remember to send me a copy tomorrow."
