figure out. "Juepan's white light flashed, and Yu Wuyan was horrified. Suddenly he saw a vague figure in the lower left corner beside him. He was so anxious that he didn't have time to think too much. He grabbed Juepan and blocked Juepan's blow for him. Xingchen's skill had not yet recovered. , unable to deliver a second blow. The man screamed, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground. "Master—" Wu Gangying heard the voice and recognized the person, and recognized him as Master Kongming. In panic, he rushed to hug him, " How are you? The intelligence master said angrily: "You shameless fox, watch me finish you off!" " Holding the purple golden bowl, just as he was about to strike the second blow, the fog began to slowly dissipate, and Xingchen shouted: "No, the barrier is about to be broken, let's leave quickly! "Master Chanyue hurriedly carried Master Kongming on his back, grabbed Wu Gangying and ran away. The leaders and disciples also panicked and fled under the cover of the mist.
"Tsk!" As if something was torn apart, the mist became lighter and lighter, leaving only a white smoke curling up around Yu Wuyan. The beauty has disappeared, Yu Wuyan is standing there, her face that always looks aloof and mocking the world is full of tears at this moment. "Xingchen, you are responsible for Yanzi's death, and I will never let you go—" A heart-wrenching declaration of hatred echoed in the sky above the drizzle.
In the distance, the stars turned back and stared for a long time in the direction where Yu Wuyan was standing: "If you and I didn't show up, maybe the world wouldn't be so crazy."
"Master, Master, how are you?" Master Zenyue put Master Kongming down after arriving at a safer place. Wu Gangying completely forgot about his declaration of breaking with Luojia Mountain and crawled over on his knees. The intelligence master took a step forward, listened to the pulse for a while, shook his head, sighed, got up and left. Everyone gathered around. They originally hated this scum who betrayed the magic world, but when they saw Wu Gangying's heartbroken look, they couldn't resent him anymore. "Is...is it Gangying?" Master Kongming opened his cloudy eyes and groped in the air with his hands. "It's me... it's me." Wu Gangying grabbed his hand. Apart from crying, he seemed to have no idea what to say or what else to say.
"Huh..." Master Kongming breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled miserably with a pale face, "I was confused... blinded... blinded my mind, I... I am not worthy to be your master." "No, it's because the disciple is unfilial, no. We can stop it in time." Wu Gangying burst into tears, "Master... you stop talking and take good care of your injuries." "My injuries are of no use..." Master Kongming sighed longly, "I will wipe Luojia Mountain Blackened... Blackened you... I..." He suddenly grabbed Wu Gangying's hand tightly and searched eagerly for his face, but blood filled his eyes and he could not see anything, "I just want to You can be more promising... let Luojia Mountain live a better life... I want you to be awarded the title of the first disciple of Buddhism, I just... just purely want you to..." Two huge tears fell from Master Kongming's eyes. It dripped slowly mixed with blood, and the sound was clear and calm, like the sound of wind in the empty valley or the roar of the waves of the sea. "Master—" Wu Gangying hugged Master Kongming's gradually cold body and was in pain, "Yu Wuyan, I will definitely avenge Master!"
"Actually, I think Yu Wuyan is not that bad." Lin Yuanyin said thoughtfully, looking at the light rain falling on Tianshan Mountain. Xingchen glanced at her: "Because he is good to Yanzi, right?" Lin Yuanyin said: "Isn't it? A truly heartless person will not know how to cherish, not to mention that Yanzi has been dead for so long, and Yu Wuyan is still like this I feel sad, which shows how deeply they loved each other." Xingchen said, "It's a pity that their relationship will not have any result." Lin Yuanyin asked, "How do you know that there will be no result? Then will our relationship have any result?" Today's path was chosen by Yu Wuyan himself, not by God for him. People always like to blame all the reasons on God when a tragedy occurs, but little do they know that they have given up all the opportunities given by God. If God really doesn't want them to develop, then they won't even have the chance to meet." Xingchen said thoughtfully: "But Yu Wuyan is a living being after all..." Lin Yuanyin said: "Xingchen, you are here again, Be it creatures or humans and foxes, they are all shackles we put on ourselves and boundaries we draw for ourselves. Thinking back to before the Four Realms, how could there be so many distinctions? There were a bunch of non-human generals under the Yellow Emperor, including Chi You. I am not a human being, but no one dares to look down on him. I only believe..." Just as he was speaking, Lin Yuanyin suddenly felt that the soles of her feet were soft, her eyes began to blur, and her last consciousness only remained in a warm and familiar musky smell. ’s embrace, and Xingchen’s gloomy eyes.
Opening her eyes slightly, a strong light suddenly penetrated her eyes. Lin Yuanyin quickly closed her eyes again. After a long while, she slowly opened them. Only Yang Cong sat quietly next to her: "Are you awake?" What's wrong with me?" When Lin Yuanyin spoke, she was shocked. Her voice was as hoarse as a waning old woman, "How did I become... like this?" Yang Cong said: "You have been poisoned by corpse poison again. ." As soon as these words were spoken, the two fell into silence again. Under the leaks in the room, raindrops fell on the tile basin, making a muffled sound. Many small water droplets popped out, making Yang Cong's shoulders wet. "Xingchen must feel guilty again." After a long time, Lin Yuanyin finally sighed, "His mental burden has always been very heavy." Yang Cong stood up, looked at the hazy mist and rain outside the window, and said slowly: "Master of Intelligence He said that you were poisoned twice by Commander Lien and suffered an indirect attack from Juepan. Your vitality has been severely damaged and your body is very weak."
"Really?" After a while, Lin Yuanyin smiled slightly, "Where is this?" Yang Cong glanced at her strangely: "This is a township in Hebin City. Don't worry, this place is very secret, and we don't dare to Looking for houses that are too ostentatious are all abandoned houses, and the Fox tribe's troops have not caught up yet." Lin Yuanyin said: "I think you misunderstood what I meant, I mean why are the stars missing? Yang Cong was silent for a moment and then said: "When Master Intelligence helped you get rid of the corpse poison, Xingchen was waiting for him outside the door, and then the two of them left together, and I don't know where they went." Lin Yuanyin said Gulu turned over and said, "I'll go find him."
"Lin Yuanyin!" Yang Cong suddenly turned around and shouted. Lin Yuanyin's footsteps stopped at the door frame. She did not look back. She just looked at the dilapidated wooden door quietly, as if she had predicted what Yang Cong was going to say next. if. Yang Cong stared at Lin Yuanyin's figure closely for a long time before he said word by word: "If a person's essence is greatly damaged, it cannot recover on its own. The intelligence master said that based on the condition of your body, if you are hit again Two corpse poisons, I'm afraid..." At this point, Yang Cong seemed to find it difficult to speak. She thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't find the words she thought were suitable to express it.
Lin Yuanyin took the initiative to intervene: "I know." Yang Cong said: "Have you made up your mind? Are you really going to pay all the heavy prices you can and cannot bear to maintain this thrilling relationship?" "The price? No -" Lin Yuanyin suddenly laughed, but there was a burst of beauty on her pale and bloodless face, "I have not made up my mind. Because there is a second way to go! Xingchen, he is not Jade has no face." After saying that, she hurriedly opened the door and ran away without even taking an umbrella.
"You're going in the wrong direction, it should be this way!" Yang Cong chased him to the door and shouted. Looking at the jumping figure in the rain, Yang Cong fell silent. All the girls in the world are dreaming of a vigorous love, but when the color of the world changes and the situation changes, how many girls can withstand this seemingly romantic and cruel reality. Love is not just a fantasy. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yang Cong's mouth: "Lin Yuanyin, you are really the only one worthy of being the heroine in this story."
"How many days does she have?" She looked up and looked at the wanton raindrops hitting her face. Xingchen's hair and face were covered with water drops flowing freely. Master Intelligence hesitated for a moment: "If she is hit by corpse poison twice more, it is probably about the same." "Master," Xingchen turned around, "What I want is the truth. Even if she is not poisoned by corpse poison, she still has a few days left." ?" The intelligence master frowned and said, "You must know the situation better than I. Donor Lin's injury is not only on the skin, but also on the knot in the heart. The essence is greatly damaged, coupled with overthinking, the physical strength is already overdrawn. If It will take a year and a half to get better if you can settle down and recuperate, calm down, and take medicine. It's just that these are extraordinary times, running around, she will never waste any less attention on your affairs, and neither will Yu Wuyan If you let us go easily, the situation is indeed not optimistic." Xingchen said: "Master, please give me an approximate date." Master Intelligence gritted his teeth and said: "Fifteen days, at most fifteen days. The situation has not improved in fifteen days, only We can prepare for the funeral."
"So fast?" Xingchen turned away and continued to look up at the falling raindrops. Silence slowly spread between the two. I don’t know how long it took, but finally the smart master couldn’t help but break the stiff atmosphere: "In fact, according to me, this matter is not desperate." Xingchen said lightly: "Oh? I would like to hear the details." The smart master said: " In fact, the troublesome thing is not external injuries, but internal injuries. Overthinking is nothing more than two knots, one of which is the demon fox. According to the old man, this matter is not a big deal. Although Yu Wuyan is brave, he escaped from death twice, which is clear. , the winner or loser has been decided, we never believe that the Fox Clan will win, and I believe Lin Yuanyin has the same idea. Although the Yu Wuyan matter is urgent and dangerous, it does not cost too much attention. The most serious matter is between the two of you, Although all things are equal, this corpse poison is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. After all, there are differences between living things and non-living things due to race differences. Not only is she worried about this matter, which affects her injury, but you also think about it. The battle with Yu Wuyan cannot concentrate. To solve this problem, the threshold between races must be eliminated. Donor Lin is already a living being. Even if he is a spiritual medium, he is only a mortal and cannot make any more changes. I wonder how much you are willing to sacrifice for her?”
Xingchen turned around: "Master, please speak clearly." Master Intelligence said: "The method is actually very simple, that is, if you try to become a human being and be of the same race as her, then there will be no trouble." "Become a human?" Xingchen was surprised. Said: "Can I become a human?" The wisdom master said: "All things have always been able to transform freely. Immortals can be demoted to humans, humans can be promoted to immortals, demons can cultivate into humans, and humans can also be transformed into demons. As for other stones, , As long as the clay person has spirituality, the three paths of immortals, humans, and demons can also be traversed." Xingchen said: "Stones and soil are made of nature, and I am a man-made fabrication, so I'm afraid they can't be compared." Master Zhi said: "Think about the same path. , Emperor Tian will live up to the people who are willing to do it. What matters most is the sincerity and price of your refining." Xingchen said: "If I can become a living being, it is naturally my wish. Sacrificing anything is a trivial matter, but I don't know how to do it? "
The smart master said: "Your situation is special. No one has tried it before. But there must be the first person to eat the crab. I once saw in a book "Anecdotes" in the Wutai Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that Ming Ming A monster that was born due to the invasion of Yin Qi sought help from Guanyin for help. Guanshiyin said that if you want to become a living being, you must first know the difference between living beings and non-living beings. Living beings have joy, anger, sorrow, and non-living beings do not. And even if there is joy and anger, Those who are sad and happy are not heard by heaven, and they are ineffective. Those who are happy, angry, and happy can be easily pretended, but God is not sure. Only the sad one comes from the heart, and other things cannot imitate it. Because the sad person will definitely shed tears, and the tears come from the heart. Only when you come out and return to the earth can you move the heavens. This is true for people like Meng Jiangnu, Tiying and others. It has never been seen before that anyone can move the heavens with laughter." Xingchen murmured: "Crying? I can't even laugh now." Master of Intelligence Frankly said: "With sincerity, gold and stone can be opened. Since you have never doubted the relationship between you and Benefactor Lin, it is not impossible for feelings to come from the heart, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. I secretly believe that sentimentality and ruthlessness are also the harmony between living beings. One of the differences between non-creatures. Heartless creatures are no different from stubborn stones. People who are as cold as jade and faceless cannot escape a word of love. However, if you become a human, you must choose to give up all your current magic power. This It’s a huge loss, it depends on how you choose.”
"A huge loss?" Xingchen shook his head and said, "I have never felt that this ability that everyone envied has brought me much happiness. I think of myself in a high place, but I would rather be a mortal." Master Intelligence said: "You Since there is no objection, I will go back and make it clear to Donor Lin. Since ancient times, those who achieve great things are often prone to wavering. We have not given up. We only hope that you will persist and not give up." Xingchen said: "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment."
The meeting hall of the Fox Clan.
An old man came forward, knelt on the ground tremblingly, held a pile of long scrolls and read tremblingly: "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers in my clan, and all the blessings in the world belong to my master. A generation of demon fox..." Jade Wuyan interrupted impatiently: "Let's get to the point." "Yes," the old man's three souls scared away two of them, "the statistics have come out, there are twenty-three corpses left in the magic world, all of them are mine. The power of the Master Hongtian is unparalleled. Four of the twenty-three corpses were mutilated, and five had their hands and feet torn..." "Come here! Pull them out and hit twenty big boards!" Yu Wuyan couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that the situation was not good, the newly appointed elder quickly stepped forward and said: "The Fox clan suffered heavy casualties, nearly a thousand people, half of whom were killed by the poisonous gas of the thick fog. There are only a few hundred strong people now, and there is not enough manpower to go out. Search for the whereabouts of the stars and ask my lord for instructions on what to do.”
Yu Wuyan, who was sitting on the big fur cushion, no longer had that confident look. Now he looked gloomy and listless, and he was almost asleep most of the time. He opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at his subordinates who were holding their breath, and said feebly: "They escaped two fatal pursuits. Is there really such a thing as destiny in the world?" "My Lord, please do not lose heart. !" A large number of people immediately fell to their knees. Yu Wuyan said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter if you have destiny or not. I still have to go on the path of going against heaven. I am a being who goes against heaven. If I don't go on, even I will have no way to survive." Everyone, go down and investigate carefully. If you know the news, let me know." After saying that, he closed his eyes tiredly. "Yes." Everyone did not dare to challenge each other and retreated.
Yu Wuyan was curled up alone on the large empty leather chair. Her majestic and upright body in the past now looked like a baby that had just been born one full month ago. He slowly let go of his right hand, and saw a round red agate lying in the palm of his hand, faintly revealing the colorful brilliance, shining dazzlingly. Yu Wuyan stared at the agate and sighed softly: "Swallow, I'm tired. I want to see the stars and the moon. Please go with me." After saying that, he put the agate on his face and closed his eyes. Rub gently. The agate reflected a soft circle of light, and the cold breath tightly covered the hot face.
"Curving the corners of your mouth like this means smiling. Human beings will smile when they are happy. Curl your mouth like this, that's right, that's it, you are unhappy and distressed." Looking at Lin Yuanyin seriously Di corrected the facial expressions on Xingchen's face sternly. Yang Cong, who was standing far away, wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "Is this useful?" A voice suddenly came from behind. Yang Cong turned around and it turned out to be Wu Gangying. Yang Cong looked at his pale cheeks and exhausted expression with concern and said, "Has your master been buried? You'd better rest for a while." Wu Gangying shook his head tiredly and said, "No, there's no way over there either. It was very noisy. I took the master's ashes with me, and when the demon fox thing is over, I will go back to Luojia Mountain for burial. I didn't have any other ideas. I chanted sutras for him for thirty days, hoping that the Buddha could forgive him for his temporary confusion. Now our The injuries were also very serious. One disciple had a broken leg and was wailing all the time. There was no medicine to treat him. There were also disciples from Mount Putuo who were offering sacrifices to their fellow students in the dead area. It was also miserable. I couldn't bear to see it, so I had to go out and look for him. It’s quiet now.”
Yang Cong nodded and sighed: "Jue Pan has really brought us too many disasters. After this thing is over, I don't know how many people will survive in the end. Anyway, now that my sister's revenge has been avenged, I will not be able to survive." It's so cute." Wu Gangying said: "Me too." The two were silent for a long time, and then Yang Cong managed to cheer up and said: "Look at the two of them, they have been struggling all afternoon, and I don't know if Xingchen can finally understand the sadness. The meaning of it, shed real tears." Wu Gangying said: "I believe that he has already understood the meaning of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Otherwise, how could a monster made of corpse mud have feelings for Lin Yuanyin? Moreover, if there is no sadness in his heart, He wouldn't miraculously wake up and help us escape. It's just that he couldn't cross the threshold to reach heaven. Whether he sheds tears or not, there are so many monsters in this world who can shed tears. I used to just I feel like Xingchen likes to pretend to be cool and always has an expressionless face there, but now I think I blamed him wrongly. He is not a living being and does not understand the meaning of these expressions at all, so how can he show these expressions freely? "
"What about you?" Yang Cong listened to Wu Gangying talking endlessly about other people's words, and couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do? If you die like this, you will not only let down your master, but also let down Luojiashan." ." Wu Gangying was silent for a moment and replied: "Actually, I thought about it for a long time in front of Master's grave. I am dull by nature, but too many things have happened to me, and I have figured it out. Why does Master insist on doing things his own way and making mistakes again and again? Wrong? He is not a person who is easily tempted by interests. The reason why he is seduced by Juepan is probably because of me and Luojiashan. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of sect. If there are no boundaries of sects, if there are no disputes of comparison, then this Nothing will happen. Look at the Master of Intelligence, although he is the abbot of Wutai, his heart is not Wutai, but the entire magic world. Even if he enters this door, there is no limit. My cultivation level cannot reach his level. Like that, if I continue to stay in Luojia Mountain, I'm afraid that I will do the same thing as Master in the future. What the magic world needs is not how many years of foundation, not how many sects, but whether it protects the common people and maintains The essence of tranquility, without this, even tens of thousands of sects will be useless."
Yang Cong finally heard the meaning behind Wu Gangying's words: "You want to give up Luojia Mountain? Then why don't you, the number one disciple of the Buddhist family, do it? This is the thing that Master wants you to do most before he dies. You won't continue Does he want to give up his last wish?" Wu Gangying said: "You don't have to persuade me. Whether Luojia Mountain exists in this world, whether it exists or not, will not have any impact at all. The important thing is people. The first disciple of Buddhism It's a false name. Since I have decided to withdraw from the magic world and live an ordinary life, how can I care about these names? If there is one less sect, there will be less disputes, and let Luojia Mountain be peacefully buried in the memory of the world. That way I can also save the last bit of dignity for it. I am tired of this vigorous life. I want to experience life calmly and peacefully. In the end, no one knows that I am Wu Gangying." Yang Cong felt miserable in his heart, but he had nothing to say. , had no choice but to turn around and continue watching Lin Yuanyin and Xingchen's teaching.
"I still feel like there's no progress at all." Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. "Don't give up, Xingchen." Lin Yuanyin said, "What I fear most is not death, but your depression. Do you know, Xingchen? In our darkest and most desperate times, we can still support each other and come out. , they all say it’s thanks to me, but they don’t know that I’m thanks to you. Every time I feel desperate, I think of you. When I checked the ninth classroom, I flinched many times, but every time You move forward without distinction, resolutely and without leaving a way out, so we can find out the secret and help Yang Cong realize his wish. Why do you no longer have the same confidence and calmness today when we know each other? "Xingchen said: "That's different. The ninth classroom is something within my control, and it is just a dead thing, but today, caring about it will lead to chaos..."
Lin Yuanyin interrupted: "No, you are confident because you have always firmly believed that the answer to the mystery of the ninth classroom will surely emerge, but you are still avoiding the feelings between us, and you still cannot make up your mind enough to go." This is the road of growing old together hand in hand. I don’t blame you. On the surface, you seem to be the calmest and calmest person among us, but I know that you have endured countless times more pressure than us. You just insist on not falling down. , because once you fall, this last resistance team will lose all chances of winning. Therefore, I cannot force you to devote all your energy to this relationship. But, Xingchen, there is one thing you will not deny. , that means you like me, right?" Without waiting for Xingchen's answer, Lin Yuanyin stood on tiptoe and kissed his soft lips gently, "I always feel that love is higher than knowing the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. How many times the emotion, since you have love, then the rest is not a mirage or a castle in the air. We have been together all the way, life and death. I am not willing to give up like this at the last moment. Are you willing? So, Xingchen, let’s make an agreement. , I have to keep trying. If I die, I will come back to you after reincarnation and try again. In thousands of years, there will always be a day when I am moved by God." After saying that, he raised his little finger, looked at the doubtful eyes of the stars, and smiled. : "Human beings like agreements, just like a promise made by both parties. When two people's little fingers hook tightly together, it means that the agreement is established. In the future, both people must abide by this agreement and cannot betray it casually. Otherwise you will be punished. Come on, stick out your little finger."
The two thumbs were hooked tightly together. "Tick tock", a cold object fell on their fingers, and then penetrated into the gaps between their fingers, and slowly flowed down the fingertips, bringing a cold shiver. "It's raining." Xingchen said, looking up at the sky.
"Bang", a shocking explosion sound suddenly came from the distance, and then circles of golden light were seen spreading out like ripples. Lin Yuanyin said in surprise: "What's going on? Could it be that the Fox Clan is catching up?" Xingchen said: "No, this is the golden light of Zijinbo. Something seems to have happened to Zijinbo, let's go back quickly." The two replied. When they arrived at the camp, they saw the intelligent masters looking for them both. As soon as Master Zhi saw Xingchen, he said: "Amitabha, you are back. Zijinbo is angry." Xingchen said in surprise: "Why are you angry? There is no evil spirit around." Master Zhi said: "I don't know what happened over there in Juepan. What happened? Several people have been injured here. I didn't dare to go there. I just asked people to look for you and alienated everyone else far away." Xingchen hurriedly walked away to his own room. Lin Yuanyin wanted to follow, but was held back by Master Intelligence, "You can't go, it's full of the underworld."
After a long while, the light of the purple golden bowl gradually faded away and stopped buzzing. Master Intelligence said: "Jue Pan finally calmed down." Just as he said that, Xingchen also walked out, but the look on his face was quite solemn and worried. The two people hurriedly gathered around him: "What's wrong with Juepan?" , the mirror body itself seems to be a little unable to tolerate such a huge energy. The energy is ready to move, always trying to break through the shackles of the mirror body. I just managed to control it. If I use it to kill a few more times, I am afraid it will be destroyed. It’s about to burst.”
"Explode?" This was the first time Lin Yuanyin had heard such a concept of treasure. "Jue Pan is a treasure of the underworld, how could it explode so easily?" Xingchen said: "Just because Jue Pan is a treasure of the underworld, its physical It is designed to accommodate the power of the underworld. After Juepan swallowed Chi Douhe, its power nearly doubled, and the mirror body began to be overwhelmed. In addition, after several battles and killings in the three realms, it absorbed the wronged souls. The power continues to grow. The current Juepan is not only very wild, but also violent and irritable, which is not easy to control. If it falls into the hands of Yu Wuyan, the consequences will be disastrous." The intelligence master changed his color and said: "Don't say that it fell into the hands of Yu Wuyan. Even if Yu Wuyan explodes in our hands, if this terrifying energy rushes out, it can destroy the entire world! By then, corpses will be everywhere, and no one will be alive. I'm afraid it will be a trivial matter. Destroying mountains and reclaiming seas will not You know, we really want to completely destroy the real continent!" Hearing how serious it was, Lin Yuanyin also became anxious: "What should we do? We can still rely on the stars now, but in the future if..." At this point, she suddenly stopped. I won’t say it anymore, but the other two people understand what the second half of the sentence means. If Xingchen really transforms into a human and loses all his magic power, then no one can control Juepan anymore.
Master Intelligence pondered for a moment and said: "No, we must destroy it! We cannot let Juepan stay in the human world. The barrier on the land here is originally irritating to Juepan. Since it is originally something from the underworld, then return it to the underworld." ." Xingchen said: "Return to the underworld? How to return it?" Master Intelligent said: "It depends on you. We are all mortal bodies. Even though I can barely go to the underworld with the purple golden bowl, I can only do it. If you can stay for a short while, only you can freely travel between the two worlds. After the decisive battle with the demon fox, you can go down to see the messenger from the underworld and return it to him in person." Xingchen said: "What if I die too? ?" Lin Yuanyin turned pale and said: "Impossible! Don't talk nonsense. After you recover from your injuries, you will have Juepan to help you. Yu Wuyan is no match for you at all." The intelligence master nodded and said: "Yes, as long as this paragraph As long as we evade it properly and are not discovered by the demon fox, we will win this tough battle after you recover from your injuries."
Xingchen said: "There is another question, how do I go to the underworld? I can't forcefully break through the boundary between the two realms and go down." Lin Yuanyin said strangely: "Huh? Didn't you go to the underworld to visit the old elder before? At that time, you How did you go down?" Xingchen said: "That's because there is an exit directly to the underworld in the territory of the Fox Clan, but that place was cultivated by the Fox Clan. Only demon foxes wearing crescent moon gems can go down. Now on my forehead I don’t know if the gem was destroyed by them or not.” Master Smart smiled and said, “That’s not a problem. In fact, that place was not cultivated by the Fox Clan. It’s just that they blessed the place with a barrier that restricted only demon foxes to enter. That’s it. Dating back to the War of the Four Realms, the underworld and the land realm did not completely seal off the two realms at that time. Although a place was left for fighting, our ancestors also considered that there might be peaceful exchanges between the two realms in the future. So I specially left a few channels for everyone to communicate and come in and out. To ensure a fair period, I left one channel for the demon world and another channel for us humans. If I remember correctly, no matter how this channel circulates, it is always controlled by one of them. It’s in the hands of the sect so that others won’t abuse it. The heads of each sect happen to be there, we just need to go over and ask.”
The three of them then came to the place where everyone was evacuated. Everyone didn't know what happened and were still talking about it. The intelligence master came in and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter. Knowing that Jue Pan would have such a big impact on the world, everyone began to get scared. Master Yuqing was the first to say: "There is no passage here." Taoist Master Tianji also said no, the head of Longhu Mountain also said no, and Jiuhua Mountain also said no. For a while, everyone said it over and over again, and no one said it. Yes. Lin Yuanyin said: "The only ones that are not here are Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain, and they must be in these two places." Master Zhi said: "Don't worry, everyone, this passage is extremely secret, and I'm afraid the leaders don't know it all. . Let me read a poem here to see if everyone has any impression." As he said this, he read: There is no justice in life and death, and there is reason in life and death.
Don’t be like the vast sea that has dispersed,
Stay for fragrant tea and play the piano at night.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Gangying was already shocked and said: "How does the master know the verses on the stone tablet in our back mountain?" Master Zhi, Xingchen and Lin Yuanyin shouted in unison: "It turned out to be at Luojia Mountain." Wu Gangying said: " Isn't it possible? It's definitely not a passage, it's just a small platform where we usually practice. There's not even a hole around it. Master has never mentioned it." Master Zhi said: "It's unmistakable. This poem was our original poem. It was written by the ancestors to indicate the location of the passage. I guess your stone tablet must be very old, and your sect has a death rule. You can't touch the back mountain, right?" Wu Gangying could only nod. Master Zhi said: "That's it. To be cautious at that time, the book recording the poem was placed in another place, and it was moved to Wutai. I saw it before, but I didn't have time to pay attention to where it was. I didn't expect it to be in Luojia Mountain. Now that the location has been determined, we can set off for Luojia Mountain." Wu Gangying said anxiously: "We have to leave Juepan to fight the demon fox, right? Return it to the underworld so soon?" Master Intelligent said: "We are waiting at Luojia Mountain The demon fox is here. This way, if the Juepan bursts, the stars will still have time to go to the underworld."
After everyone gradually dispersed, Yang Cong asked Wu Gangying: "Why are you so depressed? Go back to Luojia Mountain to see what's wrong. You haven't been back for a long time." Wu Gangying said listlessly: "What can you do when you go back? In this world The Luojia Mountain sect will no longer exist. Moreover, the current Luojia Mountain is in such a dilapidated state, it’s so sad.” Thinking of the tragic death of his master, Master Kongming, he couldn’t help but feel sad. He leaned against the wall tiredly, with a faint look in his eyes. Tears welled up. Yang Cong was not comforted either. He sighed and looked outside the door: "It's raining."
In order to prevent the target from being too big and being discovered by the Fox Clan, Master Smart thought about it and decided to let the heads and disciples of Putuo Mountain and other sects return to the mountain gate respectively. Firstly, he can confuse the Fox Clan, and secondly, he can reorganize the sect as soon as possible, and provide To prepare for the future catastrophe, after Sanlaixingchen recovered from his injuries, it was no longer difficult to defeat Yu Wuyan with Juepan. This left only the original five-person team to go west to Luojia Mountain - leaving Master Zenyue to return to Wutai. He originally wanted Yang Cong to follow him to Mount Wutai, but she refused. Thinking that she had been following Lin Yuanyin and Xingchen, the demon fox hated her so much that Master Smart had no choice but to allow it. The plan has been decided, and Master Zhi said to the heads of the group: "Please go back quickly and prepare early, especially to impose the training of lay disciples, so as to welcome the competition of the number one disciple of Buddhism and Taoism."
The head of Longhu Mountain said in despair: "Why bother? After the battle at Juepan, everyone's vitality was severely damaged. Putuo was almost wiped out, and Zhongnan was almost dead. We won't be any better off. If you go, why are you still competing? Why don’t you wait for a few years before we talk about it." His suggestion received a response from everyone. Master Zhi saw that he was anxious and said hurriedly: "There is no time to wait! The great calamity will come in a few years. If the first disciple of Taoism and Buddhism is not produced in time, it will not be able to cope with the calamity. Don't be careless about this matter! Time is tight in the first place. , it is even more important to do it in full swing, otherwise in a few years, under the catastrophe, the magic world will be gone."
This was not the first time that all the sect leaders heard Master Zhi talk about this catastrophe. Master Yuqing was too curious: "What will be the catastrophe in a few years? Will it be greater than the catastrophe of the demon fox?" Master Zhi said. : "This catastrophe is a catastrophe for the common people, not a catastrophe for the magic world. The catastrophe in a few years is a debt that the magic world should repay, and it cannot be escaped." At this point, he couldn't help but feel hurt, and said in a low voice, "Everyone You know, the magic world has done a lot of wrong things..." Everyone was speechless, indeed, for example, this time they followed together to grab Jue Pan. Master Tianji asked: "Master, can you tell me clearly what the fate is?" Master Zhi said: "The time has not come yet. If the secret is revealed, I'm afraid we won't even get the last point."
