Today is the day of the Taoist Neibi. According to the previous rules, the president who organized the Xuanmen Exchange Conference must attend and announce the rules of this time.
But when all the people who wanted to participate in the competition had gathered, Xiao Yan did not appear.
"Did Mr. Xiao misremember the time? Do you want someone to contact Mr. Xiao?"
"On such an important day, even Mr. Xiao, he can't just say he can't come."
Standing on the departure cruise ship, some capable people and strangers were whispering there, unable to hold back, and they also complained to Xiao Yan in their words.
"I'm sorry everyone, Mr. Xiao temporarily asked me to read the rules of Naibi on his behalf because he was unwell."
A young man appeared in a hurry, everyone recognized him, he was Xiao Yan's direct disciple Fu Xiao.
"Xiao is old, if it is due to physical reasons, we can all understand."
After hearing Fu Xiao's explanation, those who complained in private were the first to stand up and express their understanding.
"I don't know how Mr. Xiao's health is, is there a serious problem?"
"That's right, I have a hundred-year-old wild ginseng here. If Mr. Xiao needs it, I am willing to offer it at any time. Mr. Xiao is an old senior of our Taoism."
These words were recognized by many people, and everyone enthusiastically expressed their respect and concern for Xiao Yan to Fu Xiao, but only a few stood in their original positions. Among these people, except for Yan Chu, they all came from the big clan Or in the sect, Xiao Yan is quite prestigious in the Taoist sect, so they don't need to curry favor like this.
In the final analysis, although Xiao Yan is powerful, he is only a casual cultivator. His sect was created by him. In terms of background, it is not as good as Maoshan sect, Laoshan sect and other sects with orderly inheritance. Speaking of Yan Chu's lineage, it is also slightly inferior.
It is said that once Xiao Yan dies, his sect will decline, but now Xiao Yan is still alive, and as his direct disciples, Fu Xiao and others are still sought after by some casual cultivators of the Taoist sect or some small sects.
Judging by his appearance at this time, he seemed to be enjoying it too.
"Family teacher is fine, it's just that he had no choice but to miss this grand meeting because he felt a little cold before. His old man asked me to apologize on his behalf and everyone else."
Fu Xiao's words attracted many people's gratitude and praise. Xiao Yan's status in the hearts of casual cultivators is very high. His existence proves that even without the support of clan sects, he can break through the world with his talent and hard work. Come on, and at the position of Xiao Yan, he is so respectful and corporal, and treats Taoist rookies like them with such genuine respect, he really deserves to be an old senior of Taoism, a truly respected elder.
Seeing the respect and excitement in the eyes of most people, Fu Xiao felt a little disdain, and then read out the content and rules of the competition according to the process of this competition.
In this competition, there are a total of nineteen contestants, plus two ordinary people brought by each contestant, a total of fifty-seven people, these people will be taken by the cruise ship to a deserted island where the formation has been arranged long ago , they were able to bring enough food and drinking water.
Whoever can get out of the formation first is the final winner.
As for the people who set up the formation on the deserted island, they are the highly respected seniors in Taoism. At the same time, they will also closely observe the game situation, and if there is any danger, they will take action to stop it in time.
Players can also choose to abstain voluntarily. Players who abstain and those who are rescued in danger are also equivalent to losing their qualifications for the competition.
This time the test was more difficult than before, because apart from themselves, they also had to protect two ordinary people, which was not a one-plus-one difficulty.
The island for the competition is owned by the Yu family. At the beginning, the Yu family bought this land to develop a resort, but for some unknown reason, this project was put on hold for the time being. Now the island is deserted except for half of the buildings. .
The contestants are sent to the deserted island by the cruise ship, and when they enter the specified range, the formation will be activated. As for other people who do not participate in the competition, they will guard the shore where the cruise ship is docked.
If you want the formation to stop, you have to wait for seven days to pass, or there will be someone who breaks the formation ahead of time.
All the monks are ready to step into the formation with the ordinary people they need to protect.
This formation was mainly set up by Xiao Yan, with the help of other Xuanmen seniors. The method of opening the formation and the position of the formation eyes are according to the previous rules. Only Xiao Yan, the president of the exchange meeting, knows. He is not at the scene today. It was Fu Xiao who activated the formation on his behalf.
In the eyes of everyone, Fu Xiao took out seven pieces of jade and placed them in seven corresponding positions. Soon, all the participants in the competition realized that their environment had changed. In the distance, Fu Xiao and others seemed to be separated into two worlds from them, while on the other side, the already barren unfinished buildings became even more eerie and gloomy.
*****
"Ahem, cough, have you dealt with it?"
Fu Xiao entered a claustrophobic room. There was a bed surrounded by curtains in the spacious bedroom. He could only hear the sound of someone in the bed, but he couldn't see the situation of the person on the bed.
"It's all taken care of, master, don't you really need to find a doctor for you?"
Fu Xiao glanced at the bed with some doubts, as if he wanted to see the situation inside clearly through the curtain.
"No need, I naturally know my body, you go down."
The person in the curtain coughed a few times, Fu Xiao boldly wanted to step forward to have a look, but felt an inexplicable pressure, immediately turned pale, bowed his head and said yes, and retreated respectfully.
After walking out of the door, Fu Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. Everyone praised their master for his kindness and kindness. Only the brothers and sisters knew how unkind and moody his master was.
But who made their brothers have no talent for cultivation? People think they are lucky to be able to worship a master of Taoism as their teacher. Now these rich and good lives are given by their masters. No matter how dissatisfied they are, I can only bear it in my heart and pray that he can live longer.
After the door was closed, the originally tightly closed curtain was lifted, revealing the skinny face covered with black spots, his eyeballs were cloudy and yellowish blue, not like a living person, but like a ghost.
Xiao Yan like this is completely different from him who appeared in the banquet hall three days ago.
"Hehe, it's been fourteen years. Fourteen years ago your parents spoiled my good deeds, and fourteen years later, you spoiled my good deeds again. This time, I will definitely crush you to ashes."
His voice is rough, just like the sound of sandpaper rubbing, every word is as difficult as being squeezed out from the gap between the teeth.
Xiao Yan pressed the switch at the head of the bed, and there was a faint sound of gears turning in the room. After tens of seconds, the bed he was lying on suddenly began to sink. When everything returned to calm, he had already changed a room.
The talisman papers around, the altar in the middle of the room and the big black urn.
This master of the Taoist sect, who was praised by everyone, unexpectedly sent a ghost and a red girl to kill Yan Chu's people that day.
*****
As soon as they entered the resort, several monks separated, and they were also competitors in the subsequent competition.
I don't know what benefits the Cheng family gave to that female monk. The other party actually had the confidence to entrust Cheng Yuanyuan to Yan Chu, and she separated from Yan Chu with another ordinary person who needed her protection. That is to say, now Yan Chu There are three people who need protection.
Most of the formations on the island are relatively basic phasing formations or phantom formations, but because they are combined formations, sometimes people are in a hurry, especially when they are accompanied by ordinary people. After entering the formation, Yan Chu and the others reunited with other teams on the way, and many of them were disheartened. Obviously, these days in the formation were not particularly easy.
In addition, a few skilled ghosts were placed in the formation, distributed in the resort.
The headless female corpse who has been looking for her own head, the female ghost who was disfigured and committed suicide, the female ghost who hates all men, and the pervert who has a lustful nature and never changes her nature even when she dies...
Yan Chu has many ways to save his life, plus Lin Yuan, a cheating tool that can communicate with other ghosts, a group of four people and one ghost, it is still safe.
Six days passed in a blink of an eye, and one day later, it would be the seventh day, but the formation has not been broken yet, presumably no player has found the position of the eye of the formation.
"Little master, are we really not going to find out the formation eye?"
Cheng Yuanyuan saw that Yan Chu has been in a calm state since he entered the formation until now. Except for taking action when he encounters danger, he has never seen him actively looking for the eyes of the formation. The game is more like a gesture of coming to Du's house.
"This formation has no formation eyes."
Yan Chu glanced at the sky, deduced the time, and it was coming soon.
"No eyes?"
Yu Yu was a little puzzled. Those masters were all highly respected, so they wouldn't play tricks on them. How could they win a game without a team
He wondered if Yan Chu's ability was not up to the mark, but he was too embarrassed to admit it, so he said that.
"Actually, we've gained quite a lot from this trip. It's the first time I've seen a female ghost when I grow up so big."
Yu Yu's temperament is narcissistic and smug, and it's rare to hear him comforting someone: "Anyway, it's been six days, and in one more day, we can leave this place."
In the resort, apart from poor food and poor accommodation, there are no other shortcomings. On the contrary, they have gained a lot of insight during this trip. something that really exists.
Cheng Yuanyuan also comforted Yan Chu, anyway, now that the others have not broken the line, he is not ashamed at all.
Yan Chu smiled, but didn't tell them that what he said was that there was no formation point, not because he hadn't found the formation point, what he said just now meant that the formation point hadn't appeared in the formation yet. .
"call-"
A gust of wind made Yu Yu feel the chill on his neck. He wiped the back of his neck subconsciously, but it was sticky to the touch.
Looking down, it was dark red.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The sound of dripping water sounded from behind him, as if something was dripping from the ceiling.
Yu Yu slowly raised his head, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he stretched out his hand stiffly to tug at Yan Chu who was beside him, unable to speak, his other hand pointed high towards the ceiling.
Looking at him like this, he was so frightened that he didn't even have the reaction to scream.
"what-"
In terms of screaming fighting power, no one is as strong as a girl. Cheng Yuanyuan and Lin Yang looked up and saw the female ghost clinging to the ceiling like a lizard, whose bones seemed to be broken and reassembled. He opened his voice and yelled.
Yan Chu felt that it was not his own illusion. When Cheng Yuanyuan screamed, the female ghost was subconsciously stunned for a second, which showed the penetrating power of this voice.
But Cheng Yuanyuan was scared, and Yu Yu was not so nervous. The man who was scared to death just now still had the courage to protect Cheng Yuanyuan behind him.
While doing this action, don't forget to push Yan Chu to push him to the front.
"Okay, a lot."
Lin Yang looked around, there was originally a monster on the ceiling, and since then, more and more ghosts like this have appeared in the room, with the same ferocious faces and distorted shapes, looking at their eyes is like watching What food without temperature.
"Go into that circle and don't come out."
Yan Chu calculated the time and it was time for the people behind the scenes to do something, as expected, so he didn't panic at all, according to the previous setting, let the three of Lin Yang stand in the formation he set.
"Wow—"
The female ghost who appeared first jumped down from the ceiling, her sharp ghost claws flashed a cold light, and turned to Yan Chu. After her, other ghosts started to move, some attacked Yan Chu, and some attacked Yan Chu. Lin Yang and others in the movie.
"What, what's going on?"
Yu Yu's teeth were shivering. Even though those ghosts couldn't touch them, seeing those terrifying ghosts attacking them fiercely, every grimace was close at hand, as if they would be killed by them in the next second. Taking apart and eating into the belly, this kind of picture still makes several people accept it as incompetent.
"Didn't you agree that it was just a test? Judging by the posture of these ghosts, they seem to be here to kill people."
It was said at the beginning of the competition that this is just a discussion within the Taoist sect, but there is no way to find so many ghosts at once.
Before that, they had only experienced a few little ghosts alone, and they waved those ghosts away with almost no effort.
The spells produced by the system are too precious, and Yan Chu will not use them until heavyweight ghosts appear. Thanks to the previous inventory and the financial support provided by the Yu family and the Cheng family, within a few days, Yan Chu drew a lot by himself. Amulets have also been made into a lot of magic tools, and they are more than enough to deal with now.
"Little master, why don't we admit defeat."
Yu Yu looked at Cheng Yuanyuan, whose face was already pale with fright, couldn't help but said, the current situation is obviously not good for them. Looking at the continuous stream of ghosts, kill one to a pair, kill a pair to a group, some The trend of killing more and more.
"He is here for you two, do you think it will be useful to admit defeat?"
Yan Chu swung the mahogany sword and beheaded several ghosts who had completely lost their sanity and said.
Combined with the original body's memory, he has fully understood the ins and outs of this matter.
The four people who died in the previous life all had special fates, and the two most special among them were Yuan Chen and Cheng Yuanyuan.
The original body was born with celestial eyes, and Cheng Yuanyuan also accidentally opened the spiritual aperture in that car accident, that is to say, among the four, two men and women with six yang attributes have celestial eyes.
Six yin men and six yang men and women, as long as they form a random pair, it will be a twelve-character blood demon. If the soul of one of these four people is refined into a life bead, the owner of the life bead is very likely to have these. The fates of men and women who are blessed by nature, especially the natural eyes of men and women of Liuyang, are also likely to be inherited.
This approach is extremely insidious and vicious, because those born with heavenly eyes are often the darlings of the heavens. To refine such a child of luck is to make an enemy of the sky, so even if you know the existence of such a vicious formation like the twelve-character blood People who don't dare to try it easily.
However, there are exceptions to everything. What if the deadline is approaching
Looking at the body that is declining day by day, there is an opportunity that may make you regain your youth and have the eye of heaven that everyone is looking forward to. Wouldn't you be moved
In her previous life, Cheng Yuanyuan opened her eyes, and because she had to deal with Yuan Shen, she contacted many Taoists. After all, she was still young and couldn't hide things. It was normal for the person behind the scenes to notice.
As for the Tianyan of the original body, the people behind the scenes should know about it, but they are not sure whether the other party is the body of six yangs, killing him is just a double insurance for the unsuccessful pair of Yu Yu and Cheng Yuanyuan.
As for this time, the soul body of the little ghost Lin Yuan and Li Gui Hongnv have been separated for so long, and no one knows if there will be any sequelae after re-merging. Opening the eyes of the sky, and simply using her six-yang girl and Yu Yu, a six-yin man, to refine life beads, that person felt it was a pity.
I'm afraid it's still the same as in the previous life. These two couples are the targets of the people behind the scenes.
This year is quite special. The four consecutive lunar eclipses that may only happen once in hundreds of years will happen this year, that is, within two years, there will be four total lunar eclipses. This year and next year will also be seen in hundreds of years. The darkest day.
The total eclipse of the last month was the day of Yu Yu's car accident, and the second total eclipse of this year is today.
If Yan Chu's calculations are correct, there will be a vision of the Seven Stars connecting beads tonight. The people behind the scenes want to refine the life beads. Today is the best time. If you miss today, you will have to wait for another year. I don't know if the people behind the scenes have so much time.
"Little master, what do you mean by that?"
Cheng Yuanyuan's eyes widened. What do you mean they came for them
"Hehehehe, cough cough."
A hunched, skinny and ugly old man came in, his head was bald and only a few white hairs adorned it.
His eyes were gloomy, and there was a dark air behind him. He looked at the person in front of him with hatred, and the red girl who was injured by Yan Chu last time followed behind him. In just three days, the red girl not only There is no weakness, the ghost aura is getting stronger, it is black into a ball of ink, and ordinary people like Lin Yang already feel difficult to breathe before they get close.
"You are… "
Yu Yu and Cheng Yuanyuan looked at the old man who suddenly appeared for a long time, and finally recognized his identity.
"You are Master Xiao Yan Xiao?"
How is it possible, Master Xiao is much younger than the old man in front of him, and he is much more upright. Could it be that his previous appearance was all staged by him.
"It's too late. After today, you will all die, but don't worry, I will refine you into my life beads. At that time, you will bear every karma for me. When I break the void, that is, you Day of liberation."
Xiao Yan laughed loudly, because his body was dilapidated, his laughter was like a bellows with a broken pipe, air began to leak from the throat.
"Xiaoyuan, that's Xiaoyuan too. What did you do to my sister? You killed him."
Even though the red girl had completely lost her previous appearance, as a twin brother and sister from her compatriots, Lin Yang still felt the spiritual bondage. When he saw the ghost behind Xiao Yan who had completely lost his mind, his heart throbbed. .
"Hehe, that's right."
Xiao Yan glanced at Lin Yuan, and he recognized it. It was the boy who ran away with that little girl when he wanted to adopt Lin Yuan. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have abandoned more With time, there was enough time to take Lin Yang to other more secluded places, so that the little girl would not be dealt with on the spot just because he was about to catch up with the evil sun.
"hateful."
Without even thinking about it, Lin Yang rushed up, wanting to smash the vicious old man into pieces, but before he could get close, the red girl was faster, hitting Lin Yang against the wall like a flash.
With a "bang", Lin Yang hit the wall and fell heavily to the ground.
"You have to know that I have spent a lot of effort in refining this evil girl."
"Refining life beads requires the use of the most yin and evil ghosts. At that time, she was only ten years old, and her flesh was still tender. I cut off her flesh piece by piece, and the screams were so beautiful."
At some point, the sky was suddenly covered by shadows, Xiao Yan turned his back to the light, his body was full of shadows, he looked even more ghostly and sinister, he smiled ferociously, and at the same time talked about how he made Lin Yuan Become a ghost.
"How many tablets did I take at that time? One thousand, two thousand, it's been too long, I forgot, but I still remember, she kept shouting, brother, I'm in pain, come and save me Me, brother, brother, how desperate, what I want is her despair, I told her that her brother didn't want her anymore, her brother thought she was burdensome, so he sold her to me, I hanged her life, put her Slice it into a skeleton, put her under the moonlight with the best medicinal materials, and put her under the moonlight for a full ten days, and she took her last breath on a gloomy day."
The more Xiao Yan talked, the happier he became, and even began to dance and dance: "This is my most satisfying work. It is worthy of being a six-yin girl. Yin evil is born every day, and Yin evil dies every day. When all sorrows and grievances are gathered, hatred increases, and the yin is evil. , to the darkest to the evil, hahaha."
He looked at the red girl on the side, his eyes were full of love, and then his face gradually darkened, and he looked at Yan Chu: "It's all your fault, I made a mistake in refining the ghost at that time, and let her separate one soul and two souls. When I figure out how to put them back together, you will let your parents who got in the way rescue her, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have waited until today."
The world is so big, men and women with six yin and six yang are easy to find, but those who were born on the Yin evil day and still have a child body are rare. Yan Chu ruined his great opportunity, otherwise fourteen years have passed, and he may have already formed a group. The twelve-character blood demon has successfully proved the truth.
"Ah-ah-ah-I'm going to kill you."
Lin Yang was going crazy, he couldn't imagine how desperate his sister was before she died, he couldn't care less about the pain in his body, he rushed towards Xiao Yan again and again, but was waved away by the red girl again and again.
"Xiao Yuan, I'm my elder brother. Do you still remember that when your parents passed away, your elder brother said that he would protect you well? My elder brother has remembered this sentence for a lifetime. It is my elder brother's fault, and my elder brother shouldn't lose you. Yes, look at me, look at me."
Lin Yang's teeth were knocked out, and he spat out mouthfuls of blood. Yan Chu was too tired to deal with the endless stream of ghosts, so he couldn't take care of him for the time being.
And the red girl who was called Xiao Yuan by him was not moved at all by his words.
For more than ten years, she has long become a ghost without any emotional thoughts, devouring so many people and ghosts, and even lost her sanity due to the erosion of those resentments.
Yu Yu and Cheng Yuanyuan were almost dumbfounded, they never thought that Xiao Yan would be such a pervert.
How old is Lin Yuan in his mouth, just listening to his description, one can feel the pain and despair of that little girl at that time.
"A devil like you also wants to prove the Tao. I'm afraid that when you do it, God will chop you to death first."
Yu Yu asked Cheng Yuanyuan to stand still, and rushed out of the protective circle by himself. On his neck was the talisman given to him by Yan Chu, as well as the talisman and magic weapon that Yan Chu had given him before. Although he was afraid, he could not Knowing that Yan Chu's strength alone may not be enough now, he still has to save himself.
He overcame his fear and swung the copper coin sword at those ghosts. Because of the protection of the talisman, the ghosts really had no choice but to kill several of them.
Seeing this, Cheng Yuanyuan also ruthlessly rushed out of the protection circle, she couldn't let the little master deal with that old pervert alone.
"Overreaching."
Xiao Yan's eyes are as cold as poisonous snakes. This is the formation he set up, and it is also his territory. These people want to fight him here, it is like a mantis' arm.
"I don't understand. Since you chose to refine life ghosts at that time, it means that your time limit is approaching at that time. Why, you extended your life span by more than ten years."
Yan Chu split the ghosts that were entangled him, and asked Xiao Yan before the ghosts approached.
"Hehe, since you are about to die, I will let you be a fool."
Xiao Yan coughed a few times, hunched over and said with a smile: "It's thanks to my dozens of good apprentices, they have given me a steady stream of adoptive luck, and most of the karma created by defying the heavens has made me feel better." I passed it on to this semi-finished life ghost, and the reason why they have made no achievements in metaphysics these years is all because of this."
"Despicable, aren't they your apprentices?"
Cheng Yuanyuan couldn't help spitting at him. She heard her father say that although this master Xiao is very famous in Taoism, his apprentice's aptitude is only average.
But even so, he still taught them patiently. This is also a good talk of Taoism. Everyone envied his disciples with poor qualifications but had a good teacher like him, and wished to replace them with their own bodies.
If those disciples who respected him and those who pursued him knew what he did, I don't know what it would be like.
"After I prove the Dao, will they ask for anything as my disciples? This is just an advance payment for Huihuang Rong, which is their honor."
Xiao Yan didn't take it seriously, anyway, after today, they all had to die, and he was still the senior that everyone admired, and his disciples would respect him day by day.
On that day, he will be the only one in the entire Taoist sect.
"Xiao Yan."
An old and deep voice sounded from behind him, Xiao Yan's pupils shrank, and he turned his head away. At some point, all the masters of the Xuan Dynasty who participated or not participated in the Taoist Exchange Conference this time all appeared behind him , and the leader is the old Taoist.
"Uncle."
Yan Chu saluted the old Taoist respectfully, his eyes were slightly red.
"It's been fourteen years. I've been looking for the murderer for fourteen years, but I didn't expect it to be you."
The old Taoist looked up to the sky and screamed, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes. Today, he can finally avenge his brothers and sisters.
"It turns out that this kid is your nephew. If I had known this, I wouldn't have missed so many years."
Xiao Yan really didn't expect that the two young monks he asked Hong Nu to kill were actually old fellows. If he knew, he wouldn't have to search for Yan Chu for so long.
It turned out that Lao Dao was hit hard before because of Xiao Yan.
At the beginning, the experienced master said that he had two knots in his life, but they were all verified by Xiao Yan. Even if he lost his life today, he would keep Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, don't be stubborn, use ordinary people's souls as life beads, and raise evil spirits, you have committed a Taoist taboo."
The veterans of Taoism were all recruited by old Taoists. Thanks to Yan Chu notifying him in advance, he also penetrated the life and death barrier and saw the letter in time, so he was able to use the connections he had accumulated over decades, Get these people to be witnesses.
Those people didn't believe it at first, but they saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, and then they realized that Xiao Yan had become possessed in order to prove the Tao.
This was Yan Chu's second-hand preparation, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
"You want to keep me, just right, I don't think my fate is not resentful enough, so let you feed my baby."
Xiao Yan's shock was only for a moment. Looking at those so-called upright masters who put on airs, he smiled loudly and formed a formation with his hands.
Of course, he had his purpose in choosing this place as the venue for the assessment.
It turned out that the reason why the Yu family stopped the development of this resort area was because a mass grave was discovered under this deserted island, that is to say, there are countless wronged souls here.
As the formation was officially activated, countless ghosts flew towards the red girl floating behind Xiao Yan. Her ghostly aura was so strong that even the masters of the Xuanmen couldn't help but tremble with fear.
