Liu Jing: "Good question! Why?"
The group looked at Meng Xueli.
Ji Xiao felt very embarrassed. The emotion of embarrassment was relatively unfamiliar to him, so he just pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes drifted into the distance.
Unlike Meng Xueli who wrote the word "embarrassment" on his face, he put away "Bai Yin Dai" with a red face, like a child who made a mistake: "I don't know, it's all an accident."
He slashed down with one sword, which seemed to be unrestrained, but in fact he had no confidence in his heart. When the blade came into contact with the Absolute Spirit Array, it suddenly gave birth to a majestic power. It seemed that someone was standing behind him, holding his wrist and helping him cut off the sword.
Meng Xueli glanced at everyone, recalling the scene just now, he said he wanted to try, everyone made room for him and retreated. Now that you say that you didn't hack it yourself, is it haunted
Ji Xiao coughed lightly and didn't look at him: "Cough, maybe because you are Ji Xiao Dao Companion."
Meng Xueli thought to himself, what is this all-purpose rotten reason, can the status of a "daoist" destroy everything
Unexpectedly, Song Qianyi nodded: "Yes, Jianzun sets up the formation, and Elder Meng is the swordsman's Taoist companion, and the two have the same breath. Perhaps breaking the formation with the same root and the same source of sword energy can achieve twice the result with half the effort..."
She said "breath connection", and her teammates showed a clear look. There is a double cultivation method between Taoist companions, and the two people's breaths blend together, regardless of each other.
"Is that so?" Meng Xueli didn't quite believe it, and muttered, "It's better to say that Ji Xiao is in the spirit of heaven and protects me."
Ji Xiao sighed in his heart, touched the storage bag, grabbed a handful of fragrant pine nuts, and stuffed it into Meng Xueli's hands: "Don't think too much, worry."
He knew that Meng Xueli liked to protect the team and faced difficulties alone. He also liked to be praised by others, just like escorting the mining team before.
He wanted to do what he liked, to be nice to one person, to make one person happy, but the first time he helped someone "cheating", he was clumsy because of inexperience, and finally messed up things: both the Soul Absolute and the Teleportation Array were destroyed. Xiaodaolu didn't say that I convince people with virtue, but his face was dazed and overwhelmed.
Liu Jing asked, "The formation is also ruined, so what should we do now?"
Meng Xueli ate the pine nuts silently and did not speak. Ji Xiao replied: "Central City."
Jing Di looked at Xiao Tingyun, and a hint of alertness rose in her heart. Although Changchunfeng did not have any ambiguous behavior, the pair of master and apprentice inexplicably made him feel that the atmosphere between them was close and tacit, and they could not tolerate others. He comforted himself not to think too much, Meng Xueli and Xiao Tingyun, one teacher and one apprentice, were the two most unlikely to be together in terms of status and morality.
He retorted: "Destroyed one teleportation formation, there are still three, we should rush to the next one. According to the original speculation, Ning Wei and the others locked the three formations, maybe they will stay on the edge of the last formation, check and leave the secret realm. people, just wait for the rabbits."
Song Qianyi: "And then? Send it to someone to fight, if you can beat it, fight it, but if you can't beat it and run away? You can't be led by the nose!" She wanted to shake his head to hear if it was filled with Mingyue Lake's water, "The competition has reached the late stage, and the remaining contestants are either on their way to the various teleportation formations. Either in Central City, preparing for the final battle, they all have the right to know about it, I agree with fellow Daoist Xiao."
Jing Di felt that her thoughts were naive: "Other contestants? Aunt Song, we can't protect ourselves now, what do you care about the other contestants?!"
Meng Xueli had already regained his senses: "Don't worry. I have a way to go to Central City."
Thank you Jingdi Team for including the disciples of the five sects, so that he will not be blocked from news. If you don't care, maybe the worst result will be that among the six major sects, the most elite disciples of the five sects have received instructions from their respective masters before entering the secret realm, so they mentioned to leave the secret realm for three days. Only Hanshan disciples, small sect disciples, and loose cultivators from all walks of life knew nothing, and they became the burial objects of the conspiracy. Of course these are just his guesses.
Zheng Mu: "Then I will listen to Elder Meng."
Xu Sanshan: "Me too."
After all, he was the one who smashed the double formation with one sword just now and used facts to prove his strength many times. After Meng Xueli spoke, Jing Di and his teammates never refuted.
Que Xianming was sitting on a hillside not far away to look at the scenery. Seeing that they had negotiated and were ready to go, he swept his robes and jumped down. When he passed by Meng Xueli, Chuanyin complained to him: "Humans are so troublesome to do things? Can't you fight? You have been in the world for a long time, and you have learned the habits of the human race!"
Meng Xueli comforted him: "There will be a fight soon, don't worry."
The team set off again, and Ji Xiao and Meng Xueli were at the end again. After walking for a while, Meng Xueli was still brooding about the broken formation, and suddenly said, "Ting Yun."
"Huh?" Ji Xiao turned his head and met the bright, expectant eyes of the little Taoist companion, his heart suddenly softened.
"Believe it or not, Ji Xiao is still alive?" Meng Xueli said, and immediately added, "I'm not crazy."
…
In the cold mountain in spring, although the mountainside is still covered with snow and ice, it is more green and more dynamic.
The streams and waterfalls flowed again, the hibernation of the beasts ended, and they burrowed out of the caves to hunt for food. These liveliness came to an abrupt end in the "Jingsi Valley".
The elder Taishang lived in a quiet valley in the back of Hanshan Mountain. The terrain was slightly lower, and the snow had melted. Unlike Jixiao's original cave dwelling, "Jietian Cliff", where the wind and snow are raging all year round, dripping water into ice, but it is quieter than Jietian Cliff.
The head followed Zhou Yi and walked into the "One Line of Heaven". The boulders on both sides of the mountain collapsed, leaving only a thin line of sky light above his head. On the day of Ji Xiao's sanctification, the elder Taishang began to avoid the world for a long time. Since then, there is only this narrow and dark path left in and out of Jingsi Valley. The Tao is covered with the ethereal and silent sword intent of the Supreme Elder, and walking through it often makes people feel depressing. The Sect Master has been here several times before, and gradually he got used to it.
Walking out of the first line of the sky, the eyes are suddenly bright, and the sky is bright. But along the way, the quietness of the valley is terrifying, the pavilions and pavilions between the mountains and rivers are empty, and there is not a single person.
The sect master had a suspicious look on his face, and his pace was a little slow. Zhou Yi seemed to see that he was confused: "The Dao Zun mark is just around the corner, and the disciples and nephews are all in the apse, praying for the Dao Zun to copy the scriptures."
The chief nodded. Elder Taishang has never lacked disciples to serve. Most of their descendants are proud of their loyalty and filial piety, and seek guidance from Dao Zun. As for how this kind of filial piety is manifested, it is nothing more than copying scriptures, burning incense and fasting, sitting in meditation and praying for blessings, etc.
Deep in the valley, the two walked through the long corridor, and Zhou Yi pushed open the hall door: "Please."
The hall was silent, the two rows of long-bright lights dimmed, and the curtain fell at the end of the hall. The sect head walked to the hall, bowed and saluted: "Dao Zun."
An old voice came from behind the curtain: "Come forward."
The head agreed, Yu Guang saw Zhou Yi's expression, and found that the other party raised his head and breathed rapidly. In the past, the other party always lowered his eyebrows in front of the Supreme Elder. Is Zhou Yi nervous, why is he nervous? The head stared at the curtain, and when he took three steps, the change in the secret realm, Meng Xueli's reminder, the timing of Tai Heng's retreat, and the empty valley flashed quickly, all of which were linked together in his mind.
A warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he suddenly turned around and drew his sword: "You!"
"laugh!"
Zhou Yi moved faster than he turned around, the Sect Master's long sword was half unsheathed, the sword qi dissipated, and he slowly knelt down with his stomach covered.
A short dagger pierced the body-protecting real essence, submerged in the abdomen, and blood gurgled.
At the same moment, the light of all the ever-bright lanterns skyrocketed, and the entire hall was lit up. The glazed bricks under the sect master were bone-chillingly cold, flashing a strange purple light from the formation, shrouding his figure.
The figure behind the curtain stood up, and the majestic coercion of the God Transformation Realm followed, covering the hall like a sea tide. His shadow was cast on the curtain, making him look unusually tall.
The leader knelt on the ground. That short dagger was indeed a divine weapon, covered with several layers of patterns and blessings of divine powers, and the cold aura instantly immersed in it, smashing the true essence in his body.
He quickly figured out the front and rear joints, and his anger swelled in his heart: "The Absolute Spirit Formation of Wuyinguan? The sword energy of Mingyue Lake? Is Dao Zun confused? Collusion with foreign enemies is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger!"
Zhou Yiju looked down at him with an indifferent expression: "You're still so stupid." In order to be fast and accurate, he didn't even use his long sword. , must not give the other party time to send a signal to warn, or use the Hanshan Great Array.
Zhou Yi: "The Daoist has an order to hand over the array pivot and spare your life. You are in the Absolute Spirit Array, and keeping the array pivot is also a waste."
To his surprise, complex emotions of surprise, anger, and regret flashed in the eyes of the other party, but they quickly calmed down:
"Forgive it is difficult to obey. The Great Array of Protecting the Mountain in Cold Mountain is the foundation of the sect's foundation and the secret to defending against the enemy.
If the mountain protection formation is the countless connected locks that form a barrier to protect Hanshan, the formation pivot is the key to unlocking the lock. With the array pivot in hand, within the range of Hanshan, you can control the array to protect yourself and attack foreign enemies. In other words, if the Supreme Elder gets the array pivot and the Five Peaks Peak Master refuses to accept it, he can order the formation to attack all the Peak Masters, and then Hanshan will be in civil turmoil.
Zhou Yi showed a look of ridicule, and said proudly: "The head of the past dynasties kept it? See Wei, why do you think Ji Xiao helped you to be the head? Our generation of disciples was full of geniuses. In terms of intelligence and agility, you are not as good as Yuan Ziye; in terms of knowing people Shanren, you are not as good as Qian Yuzhi; you are not even as good as me in terms of swordsmanship... How can you be in charge of Hanshan?"
Yuan Ziye is the lay name of the master of Ziyan Peak. After the war between the human world and the demon world ended, Hanshan suffered heavy losses.
The head thought, Yuan Ziye is obsessed with playing cards, and Qian Yuzhi is addicted to doing business, Hanshan can't have a gambler or a profiteer head, as for you, let's not talk about it.
He asked back: "You say that I am inferior in every possible way, I admit it, but you think I am not worthy to be the head? When Jian Zun was alive, he once said that the head of Hanshan should focus on the overall situation, follow the rules of the school first, and do things like personal desires and dislikes. After all, you can feel your conscience and say, for so many years, have I ever used power for personal gain and committed an evil thing, I'm sorry Taiheng Daoist, I'm sorry for your Huaishui Zhou family?"
Zhou Yi seemed to have heard a joke: "Don't deceive yourself. What are the rules of the Hanshan gate? They are all the family rules set by Ji Xiao. But Ji Xiao sees you as the most stupid and easy to manipulate. You believe everything he says, so that's why you are in the palm of your hand. The door is convenient for him to control Hanshan from behind. Ji Xiao doesn't love power? He's just hypocritical."
The Sect Master sighed lowly, did not continue to argue, shook his head and said, "That's not the case."
However, Ji Xiao has passed away, and the reason for Fuli Jian Weiren to be the headmaster back then is dead and unproven.
Zhou Yi has been stagnant for many years, and was about to continue his sarcasm when he suddenly kept silent. Because at the end of the hall, the tall figure behind the curtain took two steps forward, and a thin hand brushed away the curtain.
The old man walked out of the curtain, and the head stared at his face.
Tai Heng Dao Zun sighed: "Jianwei, I watched you grow up, and I really couldn't bear to kill you. 'Jianwei Zhishu', your Dao name was taken by me back then, don't force me."
