The snake's skeleton resembles a giant white centipede, and the flesh and blood transformed from the gray mist undead are the scales arming it.
There are rows of nail-like sharp teeth in its upper and lower jaws. On both sides of its conical skull, there are a pair of long horns extending backwards, like inwardly buckled blades.
The old man stands in the center of the snake bones. He wears white clothes with a black collar and a wooden hairpin in his hair. He is dressed in a simple but fairylike style.
He looked at the people in Hidden Peak and said: "Today our sect was robbed. Fortunately, all of you stepped forward and defeated the powerful enemy with swords. From now on, I tell Jian Tianzong that even if I am really not in the peak, I think it will be enough to secure a foothold." It’s Nanzhou.”
The old man's words were simple and gentle, and his long and drooping eyebrows were like the beard and hair of a dragon dancing in the water.
His eyes first fell on Ning Changjiu.
"My little friend, long time no see." Master Hanchi smiled and said, "I asked you if you wanted to learn swordsmanship that day, but you refused and missed an opportunity in vain. Don't you feel sad?"
Ning Jiujiu showed a look of remorse and said: "This junior is heartbroken and regrets it."
Master Hanchi said: "The purpose of erasing your memory that day was not to hurt you, but because the matter was of great importance and could not be leaked at all."
"My lord, the lord, has good intentions, and this junior knows about it." Ning Jiujiu said, "By the way, lord... my uncle Yan Zhou mentioned you before his death."
Master Hanchi was slightly startled. He nodded and sighed with deep nostalgia: "He finally got out of seclusion?"
"Well, my great-uncle died due to the backlash of the blood oath after he came out of seclusion." Ning Jiujiu's words also contained endless sadness, as if the dead old man and he had been friends for many years.
The real person Hanchi stood on the head of the big snake, stroking his sleeves. There was a dark wind blowing in the peak, like jackdaws passing through the cemetery.
The big snake stuck its head out from the Dragon Column and landed on the ground of Hidden Peak. He looked at the man kneeling on the ground with a satisfied look and said: "Yuan Bai, get up, you did a good job."
"Yes, Master." Lu Yuanbai stood up, holding the sword in both hands, and handed it back to Master.
Master Hanchi asked: "You have been cultivating Taoism for many years, and you have endured it for several years, just to guard the peak for one day. Do you regret it?"
Lu Yuanbai smiled and said: "This disciple is able to achieve what he is today, all because of the appreciation and support of the master. What is the personal love between children and the sect compared with the great cause of the sect?"
When Master Hanchi heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his old-fashioned face. He then took the sword, shattered the original scabbard of the sword, and inserted it back into the sheath on his back.
This is his sword.
"Master... Didn't you go to the Middle Earth to travel in the clouds? Why..." Xue Xunxue hesitated and asked everyone's doubts.
Master Hanchi said: "Wandering in the Middle Earth is just a way for me to deceive the Zitian Taoist Sect. They have been competing with us since the beginning of the sect. And my move is to concentrate on practicing and occupy this snake cultivating body. The second is to take this opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole and cut off the fangs and claws of the Zitian Dao Sect. What's more, Nanzhou is so big that it is difficult for the Ziting Peak to truly gain a foothold. Only those above the Five Dao can carry forward our sect."
"The real person deserves to be the master of a sect, and his magnanimity is far beyond what we can match." Xue Lin sighed with sincerity.
Master Hanchi said: "I left the customs late today, thank you for your hard work."
"Fortunately, now that the sect leader is here, everything will be worry-free." Xue Xunxue said with a smile.
Master Hanchi looked at Lu Marion and said, "I watched you grow up. I knew you were extremely talented at that time, but I didn't expect that you could grow to such an extent now."
Lu Jiaojiu said: "The real person is ridiculous."
Master Hanchi said: "It's a pity that you haven't entered the Purple Court yet. If you could enter the Purple Court, how could the mountain-protecting formation be broken today?"
Lu Yuemou lowered her head and placed her cheek in the shadow of flowing black hair. Her breath was restrained and calm, and this calmness seemed to be slightly hostile.
Master Hanchi smiled slightly and did not explain anything.
"I know that you all have many questions in your hearts now." Hanchi Zhenren thought, and the body of the big snake under him twisted, taking him from the Dragon Column to the ground of Hidden Peak, but its body was too big, and there was still a Large sections are wrapped around pillars, stretching across the cliffs like a suspension bridge.
He looked at the big snake under him and said: "It is not an evil demon, but a god three thousand years ago. It once swallowed an evil elephant and was later hunted and killed by a clan with all its strength. However, although the god died, his divinity remained. Immortal, this snake bone was obtained by me in the Southern Wilderness sixty years ago, and was pieced together with great pains and pains in the Huanpu Mountain. I kept this from you, just because I didn’t want to cause any unnecessary alarm."
Ning Changjiu looked at the ancient lamp held in Xiu She's mouth and asked, "Is this the Heavenly Soul Lamp?"
Master Hanchi nodded and said: "Well, this is originally a thing from the Purple Heaven Dao Sect, but they want to use this thing to resurrect an evil demon that will cause great disasters. For this reason, I took away this lamp so that they will not be possessed by the devil and harm Nannan." state."
Ning Jiujiu said sincerely: "Sir, the sect leader really understands the righteousness... I wonder if Mr. Zhang Chengyu from Liantian Town is your old friend?"
Master Hanchi smiled and said: "It is indeed my intention for Mr. Zhang to trap you in Liantian Town. But this is mainly to protect you. I just never thought that Tianku Peak would have so many talents now. I made you run away, haha. If you are interested in the future, you can come to Huanpu Mountain and become my closed disciple. I told you when we were at the foot of the peak that I am willing to pass on your only true inheritance."
Ning Jiujiu's lips moved slightly, and although his face remained unchanged, his eyes could not hide the anticipation and enthusiasm. He glanced at Lu Marion cautiously, then his Adam's apple twitched, his back bent a little, and he whispered: "Junior... Junior, let’s think about it again.”
Master Hanchi smiled indifferently, and then he looked at the cave somewhere in the Hidden Peak of Tianku Peak.
After a while, a green sword came through the air and came to the cave.
Jing Yangxia immediately saw the huge black snake entrenched in the peak. The black snake's flesh and blood had not yet fully grown, and the densely packed bones buried in it were vaguely visible. He was wary in his heart and almost came out. sword.
"Old Jing, long time no see." The laughter of Master Hanchi on the bone snake easily brushed away Jing Yangxia's murderous intention.
Jing Yangxia's heart trembled, and then he saw the old man. He was stunned for a while and said uncertainly: "Master... Master, is he returning from a trip to the peak?"
Master Hanchi laughed heartily. He did not explain again, but just asked: "How is the situation?"
Shi Wu and others were defeated previously, Jingyang Xia Yujian chased them out, and only returned now.
Jing Yangxia calmed down and said: "I fought with Shiwu to the wilds of Nanzhou, and then got trapped in several long landscape scrolls, allowing them to escape. When I cut off the scrolls, the evil energy from the north surged into the sky. It was a sign that the Nine Infants were just coming into being, so I planned to return to the peak to form the mountain-protecting formation and be prepared to fight against the Nine Infants. I was still worried at first, but now I finally see the sect leader returning to the peak... Well, I think everything is settled. .”
"Jiuying..." Master Hanchi looked at the big snake under him and shouted out the name in a low voice. The big snake under him seemed to understand it. It raised its head slightly, and its dark pupils were filled with deep scarlet.
The big snake carried Master Hanchi, walked away, and flew gently like a bird.
It crossed the Hidden Peak, passed over everyone's heads, and knocked open several originally independent caves. The huge figure passed through the mountain and flew out. The deep voice of Master Hanchi slowly echoed in the Hidden Peak:
"Since a hundred years ago, the Zitian Taoist Sect has been at odds with our peak. Now they have broken into my sect, destroyed our formation, and committed dirty deeds of taking advantage of people's danger. They are even more perverse and want to resurrect the evil god from three thousand years ago to bring disaster to Nanzhou. Today's god If the messenger doesn't come, the Lord of Heaven has not yet arrived, but the right path belongs to me, so I should carry a sword and clear away evils for the people of the world, and eliminate disasters and calamities in my immediate life!"
Every word of Master Hanchi is like rocks rolling down the rock mass, which is deafening and enlightening.
The bone snake flew away on the wind, dominating everything. Master Hanchi sacrificed the sword that had not been used for sixty years. When it flew through the sky, it was even better than the great sunshine plain and the strong wind passing through the wild.
"Congratulations on seeing the real person out of seclusion!"
Lu Yuanbai straightened his back and shouted loudly. The emotions that had been squeezed in his heart for many years finally relaxed at this moment. From now on, he no longer needs to cover up anything.
"Congratulations on seeing the real person out of seclusion!"
The rest of them shouted loudly together and saluted respectfully as the sect leader left.
The old man left the sect alone and headed north with his sword in hand.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Four Peaks, this scene is an unforgettable picture of an immortal riding a dragon and flying away.
When Ning Jiujiu raised his head, Xiu Snake had already left the Hidden Peak and disappeared into the clouds. From his previous glance, he vaguely saw that the big snake seemed to have its tail cut off.
…
…
The four peaks settled down.
The clouds and mist that had previously been swept up and shattered by the strong wind and sword energy also closed up again and turned into a white sea with slight waves.
The mountainside is full of blown snow cherry blossoms, and no one has cleaned up the remaining red stains everywhere.
The outer disciples under the four peaks only knew that something big happened in the peak today. When they looked up earlier, they saw a scary scene of sword energy and dark clouds on the top of the peak. However, now those dark clouds have receded before turning into heavy rain. , everything seemed to have calmed down like this.
In Ning Changjiu's room, the window was wide open, and Lu Jiaojian came from the window with a sword.
Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling were sitting in the room, waiting for her to come.
When Lu Marion landed, he set up a sword field to prevent the sound from spreading out.
"Senior brother, what happened in Hidden Peak earlier?" Ning Xiaoling asked curiously.
"Do you still remember the old man in the previous scene?" Ning Jiujiu said: "That is our sect master, Master Hanchi. He has left seclusion."
Ning Xiaoling said in surprise: "Such a scary place... is actually the sect leader, the old man. The Zitian Dao Sect is now completely destroyed."
Ning Jiujiu nodded: "Zi Tian Dao Sect is indeed a party that was jointly calculated, and now it deserves its punishment."
Ning Xiaoling nodded and said, "Then everything has come to light now. I just remembered this today. Telling my senior brother doesn't seem to have any effect."
"No. It's useful." Ning looked into her eyes for a long time and said, "Junior sister, thanks to you."
"What did you lose to me?" Ning Xiaoling was confused, thinking that she would only cause trouble.
Ning Jiujiu sighed: "Thanks to you for reminding me of this, I know that Hanchi is not trustworthy."
"Ah?" Ning Xiaoling was stunned.
Lu Marian sat down and said, "You don't believe him either?"
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said: "The bottom of the peak is a very scary place. There are many ancient artifacts hidden there. Those artifacts have evil nature, and anyone who comes close may be contaminated by them."
Lu Jiejiao said: "The old things in the Southern Wilderness are indeed like this."
Ning Changjiu said: "The fairy swords on the four peaks and the many magic weapons in the peaks should be old things in the Southern Wasteland. Why were their contamination wiped out so easily?"
Lu Marry never thought about this, she just speculated as a matter of course: "It should be because the depth of pollution is different."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Do you know why those things are placed at the bottom of the peak?"
Lu Marry said: "Because the spiritual energy will sink when it accumulates too much. If you put it at the bottom of the hidden peak, it is easiest for the sinking spiritual energy to wash away their evil nature."
"Such a strong aura, it would take hundreds of years to wash away the evil wolves and turn them into white sheep, but their pollution still cannot be washed away..." Ning Jiujiu closed his sleeves with his hands and tapped each other's fingers between the sleeves.
Lu Marion couldn't help but tighten her slender fingers and clenched them into fists. She asked, "What do you mean?"
Ning closed his eyes for a long time and sighed: "Is it possible that something else is contaminating them?"
Lu Marian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her already straight back straightened even more. Ning Xiaoling on the side also understood. She ground her lower lip with her teeth and said in surprise: "Senior brother, you mean … Our sect leader is a great devil?”
Ning Jiujiu did not directly answer this question. Today, the sect leader came to the peak and behaved too righteously. There was almost no flaw in what he did.
Of course, the rest of the people were sincerely convinced. Even if Ning Jiujiu gave some hints and warnings before the sect leader came out of seclusion, after the sect leader actually came out, people's hearts turned towards him.
But Ning JiuJiu and Lu JiaoJian knew more.
"Jiuying is a fierce god, isn't Xiu Shen the same? He told me all his lies at the bottom of the peak before, and finally sent me out of the peak. If I hadn't been delayed by the assessment on the outer peak, I should have been able to go up the mountain to find you soon. Yes, you won't fall into that killing situation because you are worried about me going down the peak." Ning Jiujiu said slowly.
"I care about all the disciples." Lu Jiaojian added.
Ning Jiujiu smiled lightly, didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The realm of those elders is not low. If you want to convince them, it is really only the sect leader himself who takes action. If you fell to the bottom of the peak and were killed by Hanchi, Well, we can also attribute this matter to the internal strife in Hidden Peak, but Master Hanchi is not a God-giver after all, and he cannot prevent all accidents after all."
Now they are almost certain that the word "cold" that one of the elders said unwillingly before his death was Hanchi.
"That Bingrong assassination..." Lu Jiayou hesitated to speak.
Ning Jiujiu said: "What happened in Riyin Peak that day should have exceeded his estimate. He secretly left the peak and lurked in the cold prison, trying to use Bingrong to kill us directly. Later, Bingrong died, and he had no choice but to He gave up killing people and secretly arranged for me to go to Liantian Town and let Zhang Chengyu trap me."
Lu married her first kiss. She had experienced two assassinations, so of course she couldn't trust Hanchi. However, now that the sect leader had successfully emerged from the peak, there seemed to be no trace of contamination at all. And at this moment, he was riding a snake away. The sword kills the nine infants.
It seems that past grudges can be over in this way.
In the past, Master Hanchi also made countless contributions to the righteous path of Nanzhou.
Lu Marry thought happily.
Ning Jiujiu saw through the weakness in her heart and said firmly: "Be prepared for the worst and assassinate the sect master."
"Assassinate Master Hanchi?" The shock in Lu Jianjian's eyes could not be concealed. She never thought that she could kill him, not to mention that now she is almost one with Xiu She, and half of her feet have already stepped into the five paths.
Ning Jiujiu also thought it was impossible, but he still said: "You should try your best to enter the Purple Court as soon as possible."
Lu Marian's sword was unbelievably strong, but even so, it was absolutely impossible to deal with the current Master Hanchi when he first stepped into Ziting.
Ning Xiaoling listened nervously to their conversation and asked, "Senior brother, what about me?"
Ning was silent for a long time and said, "Xiao Ling, you go out first."
"Ah?" Ning Xiaoling's eyes widened and she said aggrievedly: "Senior brother, you like to drive me away whenever you are with Master!"
Ning Jiujiu said: "I need to strengthen your master's body again and help her consolidate her realm. It's inconvenient for you to be by my side."
Ning Xiaoling became even more innocent and said: "Senior brother, it's convenient for you, why shouldn't it be convenient for me? You... you just want to drive me away!"
Hearing the word "body training", Lu Marian's body became hot unconsciously. She frowned as if recalling something bad. Those nights in the Peak Lord's Palace were imprinted in her heart. Every time Thinking of it made her feel strange.
"I don't need to train anymore." Lu Marian said calmly.
Ning Jiujiu said: "We don't have enough time, so don't be willful."
Lu Yuanwen lowered her head a little, and the sunlight coming in from the window fell on her beautiful cheeks, and the snowy light emitted seemed so bright.
Ning Xiaoling was still angry and said: "I want to protect Master!"
"..." Ning Changjiu said: "Senior brother is here, don't worry."
Ning Xiaoling thought that such a big thing had happened today. She seemed to have held an urn in her arms from beginning to end, which was of some use. Now she was driven out by her senior brother. The grievance in her heart turned into a little bit of anger. She said: " I just don’t trust you, senior brother! At that time, Master Marry was injured and fell at the gate of our hospital, and you sent me out to find medicine. I don’t know what to do alone in the room?"
"?" Even though Ning had always had outstanding concentration, when Ning Xiaoling suddenly exposed this matter, he choked out. He immediately turned his head, looked at Lu Jianwei, and said: "Miss Lu, at that time... um … That’s actually true.”
When Lu Marian heard this, she remained calm.
She was sitting on the chair as usual, with a jade-like complexion and a beautiful nape. The black belt around her slender waist made her even more slim. The tranquility at this moment was even more ethereal and a little abnormal.
She blinked her long, half-lidded eyelashes, and then whispered, "I knew it a long time ago."
Ning Xiaoling was surprised and said: "Master... when did Master know about it?"
Lu Marian said: "You made me a pot of tea after I woke up. At that time, some water spilled outside the cup. I knew it was not you who used such exquisite techniques."
Ning Xiaoling was speechless and lowered her head in shame.
Ning Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, wondering why he was making tea again.
Ning sighed for a long time and saw that no one was talking anymore. In order to relieve the embarrassment, he said: "Miss Lu is really smart."
Lu Marry said coldly: "Call me Master."
Ning Jiujiu thought to himself, why didn't he say that we can be friends as equals today... But Lu Marian didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he didn't hit the wall. He shouted honestly, and then he turned his attention to the culprit.
The girl who was the culprit came to her senses and immediately said: "Xiao Ling, leave now."
"Wait." Ning Jiujiu stopped her.
"What's wrong, senior brother?" Ning Xiaoling asked.
Ning Changjiu took down a porcelain vase from the ancient shelf, handed it to Ning Xiaoling, and said, "There is a ghost sister in here. She is the little Meng Po who was singing beside the bridge in Linhe City at that time. You should take good care of her."
Ning Xiaoling carefully took the small porcelain bottle and said with emotion: "Senior brother is really amazing, this golden house hides..."
Ning Jiujiu didn't give his junior sister a chance to continue talking nonsense, so he walked over to her, covered her mouth, and sent her out the door.
Lu Marry walked to the side, closed the window, lowered the bamboo curtain, then sat down on the edge of the bed, her quiet face turned aside.
Her hands went to her waist, her jade fingers hooked up, and she gently untied the waistband. The collar that was pressed against her body at the back of her neck was loosened and dropped slightly, revealing her beautiful and round shoulders. She completely carried her back. Turning around, her outer clothes fell down like a waterfall, and piled up between her waist like snow. She grabbed the brocade quilt and covered it in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "Let's get started."
The sun shines through the bamboo curtains, leaving clear lines of light and shadow on her lonely jade back.
…
…
In Liantian Town, Twelve Autumn has died.
His body fell into the lotus boat. The boat followed the wind through the green lotus pond and sailed slowly towards the other side.
When Shiwu and others arrived at Liantian Town, Lianzhou happened to dock.
Shi Wu looked at Twelve Qiu's corpse and remained silent.
Thirteen Yuchen grabbed the clothes of the boy in black and almost dragged him here.
The boy in black kept holding his head, and painful screams came out from his throat one after another, which was heartbreaking, as if he was being tortured.
The townspeople in the street walked curiously to the distance and looked at these unkind-looking visitors.
"Where did you come from? What are you doing here?" A huge gecko asked on the roof.
"Ah, dead people, dead people, they must be here to collect the bodies." Across the way, a big spotted frog croaked.
Shiwu was upset when he heard this. He stretched out his hand, and two sharp rays came out from under his palm. They shot out from the left and right, piercing through and beating the gecko and the big frog into pieces.
But not long after, the identical gecko and giant frog crawled out from nowhere. They returned to their original positions and said angrily: "Foreigners are so rude, they should be fined."
"Yeah, fine."
They were noisy.
Thirteen Yuchen looked at this scene in surprise. She specializes in the art of breaking the Tao, and is extremely good at breaking obstacles, breaking formations, breaking swords, etc. She is sure that this place must be shrouded in some formation. She sacrifices the Tao Sword He came out and took off into the sky, looking for the location of the formation eye.
"Don't bother." A slow voice sounded. In the lotus pond in front of him, the water surface began to rotate and collapse, forming a huge vortex.
In the vortex, a huge black shadow slowly rose, and then, a strange creature that no one had ever seen before appeared in front of them.
It was a terrifying creature that looked like a snake but not a snake. Its body was extremely long, and half of it was buried in the water. Only the winding shadow of an ancient dragon could be seen, and its raised upper body was very strange. The green head in the middle was huge. Like a boat, there are red patterns painted on the sides of the vertical pupils, and on both sides of it, the huge body seems to be stretched open by something. It looks like webs growing on both sides of the lower abdomen and like a dragon. Flapping fins.
When you look carefully, you can see that there are four large bumps on each fin-like position. The shape of the bumps is like the skull of a giant snake, and further down its body, there are also dragon claw-like things that are about to burst through the body. out.
"Nine...Nine babies?" Shiwu looked at the extremely strange creature and counted its heads.
When he looked into those cold vertical eyes, he could only associate them with the devil.
"No!" The boy in black stared at him and yelled, huge fear swallowing him up.
