Shizi stared at the middle-aged man who called himself Lu Yuanbai. He had never heard of such a master in Yujian Tianzong, and the other man's sword energy was even more restrained. He looked like a low-level monk. By.
But the more so, the more serious the word Shi is.
His lavender robe lit up with auras that were moving like swimming fish. The auras touched and separated from each other, like the ancient inscriptions engraved on the cauldron.
Behind Shi Zizi, the purple spiritual energy cracked, flattened, and then spun around, like a dancing butterfly. He looked like a young man wandering among colorful flowers, but what slipped out of his sleeve was not a carved folding fan, but a handle. A sword as sharp as water.
"I don't know you, why are you waiting for me?" Shizizi asked.
Lu Yuanbai grabbed the scabbard and held it in his arms. There was still a hint of drunkenness on his face, and when he stood up from the ground, his body was still swaying unsteadily, "You are the one waiting for me."
"Why?" Shi Shi didn't understand.
Lu Yuanbai said: "An adult asked me to come here today to wait for someone. Whoever comes will be the one waiting."
The eleventh word asked: "I wonder who the master is?"
Lu Yuanbai did not answer the question, but sighed: "You really made me wait."
Shizi asked: "You want to kill me?"
Lu Yuanbai shook his head and said: "I'm just stopping here to stop anyone who wants to go down the peak. If you turn around and leave now, then I will continue to lie down and drink. It has nothing to do with the two."
Shizi thought in silence for a while. The purple energy around him became stronger, and the actual aura was dancing like butterfly fire, with no intention of giving in.
Lu Yuanbai folded his arms and held his sword, looking at him calmly, waiting for the answer.
Shizi said: "I wonder what state you are in now?"
Lu Yuanbai was a little ashamed and said: "To tell you the truth, I have been cultivating Taoism for many years, but my talent has never been very good. It is all supported by my hard work and courage. The younger generations don't like to talk to me. I only have swords and wine to accompany me every day. It’s such a sad life to be scolded and stared at when you drink too much…”
Shicizi said coldly: "You sword sect masters all like nonsense?"
Lu Yuanbai scratched his head and said with a smile: "Aren't you trying to buy time? If you delay longer, maybe we won't have to fight, and I can save my life."
The mouth shape of the word "xiaoming" has appeared, but there is no sound.
The already dim Hidden Peak became darker, all light and sound were swallowed up invisibly, and the lavender spiritual energy exploded. It was the only light that could be seen, wisps of light passing around Lu Yuanbai's side.
Taoist magic circle.
In the darkness, Lu Yuanbai patted the sheath, and the sword was drawn out from the sheath without any sound.
It slashed towards the darkness behind.
In the extremely silent darkness, a little wave finally appeared.
It was the wave caused by the sword touching each other.
The moment the big sword touched the Dao sword, many lights lit up in the darkness. They were the spiritual butterflies that had been lingering around Shi Zi's side. They poured out in large numbers, and ants attached themselves to Lu Yuanbai's sword, and then The butterfly seemed to be on fire, exploding into a ball of dense aura with a loud bang.
Lu Yuanbai stretched out his hand, grasped the hilt of the sword, and stabbed forward.
A delicate, feminine hand stretched out from the aura, held the edge of the sword and cut his throat.
The two swords crossed each other.
The killing intent kneaded together and then turned into two separate lines.
There was a ticking sound on the ground, which was the sound of blood falling to the ground.
The surrounding darkness receded like a tide.
The two of them still stood there, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory dream.
"The peak master of Tianku Peak should be you." After a long time, Shizi said this.
Lu Yuanbai wiped the blood on the sword's edge with his sleeve and sighed, "It's not like I can't kill you."
Shi Zizi's fingers trembled slightly, and the blood flowing down his white arms was like sticky red lines.
"If the other three come, any one of them, you will die today." Shizizi said, "I'm not good at killing people."
"Well, it's not like I don't know that I'm not good at learning." Lu Yuanbai grinned and said, "Then go and ask the three of them to come. If they come, I... I will give way and let you in."
Shizi sighed: "Without the Heavenly Soul Lamp, Jiuying's soul consciousness will be difficult to gather and will go crazy. Then it will not only be us, but the entire Nanzhou will be a disaster."
Lu Yuanbai asked: "Who is Jiu Ying? What does it have to do with me?"
Shicizi frowned and said, "Are you really not aware or are you just pretending to be stupid with me?"
Lu Yuanbai said: “I was just ordered to stay here.”
"By orders? Whose orders are you taking?!" Shi Zi asked.
"A person I trust... can be considered me, half a master." Lu Yuanbai said.
"Half master?"
"Anyway, it's hard to disobey the master's orders, and I don't want to go to all the trouble to kill you. Let's go back." Lu Yuanbai yawned and put the sword in its sheath.
Shizizi looked at the sword in his arms and said unwillingly: "Your sword is too good."
Lu Yuanbai made a sign to see off the guests.
He sighed in ten words, knowing that he could not defeat the person in front of him.
Unexpectedly, everything that Dao Sect had been planning for many years, and everything it was determined to achieve, would end up like this.
He still didn't want to leave, so he put the Dao sword in his hand back into its sheath, and his fingers opened and closed like flowers. The spiritual butterflies around him shattered at the same time, turning into liquid-like light, which condensed in his hand and turned into With a knife that was three or four times longer than before, he slowly waved the long knife. The blade cut through the selected stalactites like tofu and flew towards Lu Yuanbai.
Lu Yuanbai no longer looked as depressed as he drank every day. His expression was extremely serious, the lines on his face were as strong as if they were carved with a knife and an axe, and the heroic spirit between his brows was even better than the sword spirit.
The big sword was unsheathed, but compared with the ten-word Spirit Butterfly sword, it seemed very short.
The moment the long sword passed by, he squatted down, then charged up and jumped up suddenly. The big sword was dragged up by his figure, and was thrown in a steep arc in the air before slamming down.
The stalactites on Hidden Peak were shattered countless times, and the falling gravel was like crackling raindrops.
The white sword energy and the purple Spirit Butterfly Blade intertwined and resounded in the dim Hidden Peak. The two were like clappers hitting each other, and each sound caused a tremor in the Hidden Peak as if the ground was shaking.
The eleven words burn spiritual power, and the seven orifices bleed. He crazily squeezes the body in exchange for the power to kill people in a short period of time.
Each fluttering spirit butterfly is a sharp flying knife. They wrap around Lu Yuanbai like sword energy. After three moves, Lu Yuanbai switched from offensive to defensive. In just a few breaths, his body also Added dozens of wounds of varying depths.
"What benefits has the Dao Sect given you? You are so dedicated." Lu Yuanbai couldn't help but cursed, jumped up and stepped on his blade.
"What benefits did Tianzong give you? To make you willingly stay anonymous for so many years?" Shi Ziqi asked coldly. With a flick of his wrist, the spirit butterfly shattered under him, turned into dozens of long knives, and chopped down like a punishment from heaven. .
"It's just to repay my master's great kindness." Lu Yuanbai extended his right arm outwards, swung his sword and violently knocked away the falling knives, but his arm was still invaded by the spirit butterfly, and almost cut open the wound on his wrist. Bloodline.
"What if your master is an evil ghost?" The ten-word knife slashed with him.
"Oh, he is a very upright old man. Is it your turn to point fingers?" The swords collided with each other, and their faces were very close to each other, with blood stains on their faces.
The battle took a turn for the worse at its peak.
Shizizi was beheaded.
It was Lu Marian who took action.
They had already planned to go to the Peak Valley, but the sudden burst of movement in the Hidden Peak made them come faster.
Shizi leaned back, and the shattered spiritual butterflies covered his body like residual red. He was like a young man who had been lingering among flowers for decades, and finally died quietly on the flower bed one early morning, with only the separated body wiped. Gone is all the intoxicating beauty.
The spirit butterfly turned into fire and quickly burned his body, leaving nothing behind.
Standing beside Lu Marion were the peak masters of Huiyang Peak and Xuanri Peak.
"Lu Yuanbai?" Lu Marian looked at the scarred knife-wielding man and called out his name in confusion.
The serious look on Lu Yuanbai's face disappeared. He wiped the blood on his face, smiled and said, "I have met the Peak Master."
Xue Lin said with a smile: "As expected, the ethos of Yifeng follows the peak master. The peak master hides his clumsiness, and his disciples hide their clumsiness. Now there is another one. From now on, who will dare to believe what the four of you Tianku Peak people say."
Xue Xunxue looked at the sword in his hand and felt that it looked familiar. She asked, "You... I think I have seen you before."
Lu Yuanbai said: "I have seen it before. Every time the four swords are held, I can see the outstanding style of Master Xue."
Xue Xunxue shook her head slightly and asked, "Have you ever pursued a woman in our peak?"
Lu Yuanbai's expression froze and he hesitated for a while before he said uncertainly: "It seems... there is such a thing."
Xue Xunxue asked with a smile: "What happened next?"
Lu Yuanbai said: "How can I keep a woman's heart if I am so incompetent? Peak Master, please don't laugh at me."
Xue Xunxue looked at him deeply and said, "Why are you giving up so much? You shouldn't be guarding Tianku Peak in obscurity, right?"
Lu Yuanbai smiled and said: "Give up? There is no such thing as giving up. I have been very happy in the peak these years. Back then, my relationship with Wan Qin was just a farce. I don't even remember her name, haha..."
Lu Yuanbai smiled and stopped smiling, and Yinfeng fell into a brief silence.
The surprise in Lu Marion's heart softened a little as they spoke, and she asked, "So, what are you doing here?"
Lu Yuanbai said: "If a thief comes, of course I will help block him."
Lu Marry glanced behind him and asked, "How much do you know about Fenggu?"
"Peak Valley?" Lu Yuanbai rubbed his eyebrows. He put the sword on his back with a smile and said, "Do you peak masters really think I am some kind of expert? I'm just here to stay here under orders. .”
"Stay here?"
"Well, no one can go to the bottom of the peak today." Lu Yuanbai straightened his back, but suddenly sighed: "Oh, Master clearly told me to just stay alone, why are there so many here at once? I want my disciple to die a miserable death."
"Master?" Lu Yuanbai's heart trembled a little. Lu Yuanbai's master was also his master, but the master obviously died a few years ago. Could it be that... he is still alive
Lu Yuanbai said: "Don't get me wrong, Peak Master, the master I'm talking about is someone else, but this is a secret for the time being and I can't tell you."
Lu Marian did not ask further questions. She said, "There may be evil spirits hiding under the peak. We need to search the peak."
Lu Yuanbai shook his head and said, “This is not possible.”
Lu Marian said: "I don't know when you secretly reached this level, but it's probably impossible to stop us."
Lu Yuanbai smiled and said: "Of course Mr. Lu will not take advantage of others and fight against the peak masters without knowing what they can do. But... I also have my own difficulties."
Lu Jiejiao said: "The reason? Although you have done a good job in blocking the people from the Zitian Dao Sect, you know that the evil spirits hidden under the peak are very likely to cause the tragedy of destroying the peak!"
Lu Yuanbai shook his head and said, "You have all misunderstood. There are no evil spirits under the peak."
"Why should we believe you?" Xue Xunxue asked.
Lu Yuanbai said: "Whether Yujian Tianzong can become the largest sect in Nanzhou in the future depends on today. Now the authorities are confused. After today, you will know whether your choice is right or not."
Lu Marian said: "I am the master of Tianku Peak. I don't dare to gamble with the fate of the whole peak. I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
Lu Yuanbai said: "Since you don't want to gamble, just pick something that is absolutely right and do it."
"Absolutely the right thing to do?"
"The Purple Heaven Dao Sect is resurrecting an evil spirit. Killing that evil spirit is the right thing to do." Lu Yuanbai said.
Lu Jiaoyue knew that what he said made sense, but Jiuying was far away in Liantian Town, and the legendary snake was right under her nose. It was also a fire, so of course the nearby ones should be extinguished first.
"Your master may not be a demon, but he must be a madman."
A voice sounded from behind Lu Marry. Ning Jiujiu came over. He looked at Lu Yuanbai and said, "Uncle Lu, long time no see."
Lu Yuanbai looked at him and said with a smile: "I have known that you are not simple, but I didn't expect that you are not simple."
Ning Jiujiu said: "I didn't realize that my uncle was extraordinary. Now it seems that my uncle is hiding better."
"Because I am just a layman." Lu Yuanbai smiled and said, "If we have the opportunity in the future, we can drink together."
Ning Jiujiu smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he went straight to the point: "I once went to the bottom of the peak. I saw an old man at the bottom of the peak. The old man claimed to be the tombkeeper and guarded a snake in the cemetery. Gu, he said he wanted to teach me supreme sword moves, but I rejected him."
Lu Yuanbai listened to his words, was shocked and then regretted: "It seems that you missed a big opportunity."
"I don't think so." Ning Changjiu shook his head gently: "Just now I have been thinking about when such an expert appeared in the peak. For this reason, I went to the stone tablet in the backyard of the sword hall and looked at it for a while. I originally had some answers, but after meeting you, I suddenly felt that nothing was right."
"Huh? What's your opinion?" Lu Yuanbai also became interested.
Ning Jiujiu continued: "My guess about his identity was based on what he said to me. Generally speaking, for others to believe something, it must be partly true or partly false, so I started to think about what he said. He was telling the truth, but after seeing you, I suddenly realized a problem—I didn’t believe what he said at all!”
So he fired two swords in a row, using his own sure-kill sword moves.
"What do you want to say?" Lu Yuanbai asked.
Ning Jiujiu said: "I don't believe any of his words, so all his words may be false. The tombkeeper is false, the seniors who have been there for more than three hundred years are false, and the only inheritance is also false. He It didn't hurt me, maybe because of my sword moves, or maybe because our master is a stubborn person. If something happens to me, she will definitely try her best to find me, and then the secret at the bottom of the peak may be exposed."
Lu Yuanbai shook his head and said: "It's not what you think. That one... is a very big shot. I respect him very much. Everything he does is for our sect."
Ning ignored his words for a long time and continued: "After I realized that all his words might be false, I thought of another thing."
"What?"
"The assassination in the Hidden Peak." Ning Jiujiu said: "At that time, I fell into the peak and valley. Logically speaking, it was impossible to survive. At that time, the master stubbornly went down to the peak to find me. It was also at that time... many elders made moves against the master. Killing intention.
I have never understood why they chose that time and their opinions were so unified, as if they had already discussed it. The only explanation is that they did negotiate it! Someone once told them that anyone who goes to the bottom of the peak will not be allowed to live, just like he asked you to stay here today. "
Lu Yuanbai frowned and said, "I know there is civil strife in Hidden Peak. They are just coveting the position of Peak Master."
Ning Changjiu shook his head gently: "At that time, a rebellious elder said the word 'cold' before he died, and then the cold prison was broken. At that time, we all thought that what he wanted to say was the cold prison."
"Isn't it?" Lu Marry was equally confused.
"No." Ning shook his head for a long time, but did not give the answer directly. Instead, he recalled another incident and said: "Later, I was trapped in Liantian Town. At that time, I didn't understand why I was trapped. What did I have? What's so special about it? Now that I think about it, he must be worried that I will regain my memory and cause problems, disrupting his plans, just like... now.
So he wanted me to not be able to return to the peak today when the Four Peaks Swordsman was held, and Zhang Chengyu once accidentally told me that he had an old friend in the Yujian Tianzong. I originally thought that Zhang Chengyu and the Zitian Dao Sect were jointly responsible for the sword-fighting between the four sides today, but now it seems that I was wrong again. The person who really cooperated with Zhang Chengyu should be the one at the bottom of the peak... They teamed up to trick Zitian Dao Sect. "
"What a big game of chess."
Ning Changjiu's words were like a clumsy and blunt story, which aroused different waves of emotions in the ears of different people.
Lu Marian suddenly remembered the last moment, the scene where the young man in black covered his head and screamed in pain.
Xue Xunxue frowned and said: "You have said so much, what are you going to say? Who is that person at the bottom of the peak? If it is an evil spirit, the three of us will go down to the peak and kill him together. Every delay will reduce our hope. .”
Ning sighed for a long time. The reason why he said this was just because after he knew the identity of that person, he understood that even if they combined, they would never be his opponent.
Instead of going to the peak to seek death, it is better to wait here quietly.
Xue Xunxue did not wait for Ning Jiujiu's answer, but instead waited for a small earthquake in the hidden peak.
After a moment of panic, everyone looked in the direction of Dragon Dragon Pillar.
The dragon-wrapped pillar that penetrated the Tianku Peak was also constantly trembling. It had withstood the power of the entire mountain and never swayed, but it finally made an uneasy creaking sound at this moment.
Everyone understood - something was climbing up the dragon-wrapped pillar at high speed.
No one knows whether the one climbing up is a god or a devil.
Lu Yuanbai had turned around, placed the sword in front of him, and knelt down.
Ning Jiujiu sighed feebly. He bowed in the direction of Mao Longzhu and said, "Welcome the sect leader to leave seclusion."
“Zong…”
"Lord Sect Master? Han... Hanchi!"
"Didn't Master Hanchi go to the Middle Earth to find opportunities? Why..."
All the surprised exclamations and doubts were annihilated by the loud noise that was getting closer and closer.
On the Dragon Winding Pillar, a big white-bone snake climbed up around the pillar. It was like a dragon without four claws, clinging ferociously to the pillar, passing through the endless fog of the undead, and then the fog was absorbed by its body. It was absorbed and became its blood and flesh, and in its huge mouth lined with sharp teeth, there was an ancient lamp, just like the real dragon holding a candle in myths and legends.
The ancient lamp burned silently, without any trembling in the flame.
The white-bone snake crossed the abyss and came to the hidden peak.
This big snake was terrifying, but what shocked them the most was the old man standing on the back of the big snake.
The old man's face was as stiff as a stone statue, but the white linen clothes he wore were fluttering, like the fluttering clothes of an immortal.
"Meet the sect leader."
After a moment of silence, everyone in Hidden Peak saluted in unison.
He is the sect leader of Yujian Tianzong, Zhenren Hanchi.
