In the vast land, in the depths of the vast Hundred Thousand Mountains, there is a mountain peak that stands upright like a barrier, and the surrounding peaks are undulating and overlapping.
The haze is shrouded everywhere, the vigorous trees reflect the bright and picturesque sunshine, the birds singing in the forest are crisp, and the streams meander among the hills and bushes.
Looking from a distance, you can see misty clouds and smoke hovering over the peaks, white clouds like belts, clear mountain springs, and the green mountains are more picturesque.
It is a peaceful and quiet scenery of otherworldly mountains and rivers.
Under that barrier-like mountain peak, among the vines and vines, in a recessed rock, Li Xuan was surrounded by purple energy, and the vitality in his body circulated until it penetrated the twelve-storey building, going round and round, passing like this for a while, until the mist After it was gone, he slowly opened his eyes, and in a split second, two purple glows flashed away.
He let out a long breath, thinking back to the fight just now, he was still a little startled; he thought to himself: "If I didn't have the way to escape from the sky, I'm afraid I can't escape the end of the real fire. The gap between realm and cultivation is indeed not something that can be made up by tricks. Take this Tiandun as an example, it really consumes too much real energy!" Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh. I remember that I just chose a direction before, and escaped from the sky, only to feel that in the darkness, cities, villages, mountains and rivers kept flashing before my eyes.
The speed of Tiandun this day is really appalling. At this time, there was very little true energy left in his body. In desperation, I had no choice but to hold down the light, and searched for this hidden place, looking at my nose and my heart with my eyes, and just calmly recovered, until now.
In fact, with Li Xuan's current cultivation base, he can only use one-twelfth of it on the journey of Tiandun, and it can't last long. Thinking about it, it would not be difficult for him to fly thousands of miles away, but at this moment, he couldn't even think about it, it was too far away!
"As expected, the higher the strength, the better. It would be great if you really understand it... I really yearn for it! But with Jian Xuanzi's heart, I'm afraid that sooner or later you won't be able to get rid of the inner demons and enter the body, and the disaster of the loose baby will disappear." ... Under the dark way of heaven, every step is really like walking on thin ice. Even if you have worked hard for a hundred years, as long as you are careless, you will be the fruit of the soul flying away! Waiting for the time to pass, will I be like these in this dazed and endless way? Just like human beings, how could one take a wrong step in the line between human beings and regret for the rest of his life? Are human beings really so insignificant when they are exploring the way of nature and heaven?" Li Xuan muttered to himself, with a hint of melancholy in his heart, With a wave of his hand, the surrounding restrictions were removed, and the color light faded. He got up slowly, and gently pulled out the covered vines and vines. Suddenly, a soft light appeared in front of his eyes, and he looked around. Hidden deep in his heart.
In the midst of the vines and flowers, Li Xuan shook his head, took a deep breath of the cool air with the faint scent of plants and flowers, let it stay in the chest and abdomen, and then exhaled slowly, only then did he feel much more at ease. At this moment, he listened to the crisp birdsong in his ears, looked at the red sun slanting across the sky in the distance, and looked at the gray veil lingering among the mountains. I only feel that the vast mountains are connected to the sky, and the gray twilight comes from far away, until I can't see anything, and I still don't want to return. At this moment, in his originally clear and detached state of mind, a kind of serenity blended into the natural mountains and rivers can reach the mind's concentration and release, and the subtle feeling of "merging with all kinds of transformations" arises spontaneously. Li Xuan couldn't help being intoxicated by the natural landscape.
The so-called Dao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and people are also big. There are four great things in the universe, and human beings are one of them. Man imitates the earth, the earth imitates the sky, the sky imitates the Tao, and the Tao is pure and natural. The Taoist rule also, the law comes from nature. All things in the world, those who follow the laws of nature, all things will succeed; those who violate the laws of nature, all things will fail. But there are always some people who, once encountering setbacks, complain about the sky and the earth, and fight the so-called battle between man and sky all day long. Who told you to fight against the sky? Has heaven ever punished you for kissing, or has it ever taken away your love? How sparse is the sky? God what a crime? What does personal affairs have to do with heaven? Feel sad for these people. Such slogans may be to find an excuse for some special purpose of oneself, or to impose a reason for failure. I always feel that the sky is so far away, even if I impose a crime, it is like swearing to the moon. But the person doesn't know that between the heaven and the earth, within the darkness, there is a god three feet above his head.
After a long time, Li Xuancai said to himself with some relief: "Indulge in the mountains and rivers to reach nature, and wander in the world of mortals to understand the Tao. Contentment is the joy of life, and inaction is the way to get the world and nature. Perhaps this is the inaction that a Taoist should have. Take it easy!" After saying that, he smiled casually, crossed the gravel and weeds, and walked down the mountain. After walking not far, he suddenly stopped, with a look of doubt in his eyes, "Hey! Monster spirit..."
Li Xuan was waiting to go down the mountain, when his keen spiritual sense suddenly felt a few wisps of evil spirit. Out of curiosity, he searched for the direction of the evil spirit and searched all the way.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the fiery red sun in the sky was slowly sinking to the west, and the golden light shone on the ancient peaks and cold forest in front of me, which was empty. From time to time, there are a few birdsong, and the scenery is extremely quiet.
Because the speed was too fast because of the earlier escape from the sky, I only felt the foreground objects flying by, and when I pressed the escape light, I didn't know where I was. Li Xuan walked forward slowly, looking for the vaguely demonic aura. Since there are many streams and streams in this mountain, forest, Li Xuan used the method of shrinking the ground to cross over. After a short time like this, when I came to a place, I saw that the mountain in front was steep and very dangerous, and there was a small valley in the middle, filled with mist, and the faint evil spirit emanated from this valley.
To be on the safe side, Li Xuan found a small mountain to hide his figure, and then he looked around, only to see ferocious rocks in the valley, surrounded by dark dense forests, a field the size of a football field in the middle, with no grass growing, and a faint mist. It is desolate and confusing; outside the valley are clear water and heavy mountains, which are as high as before.
There is a big hole at the end of the valley near the rock wall, the surrounding rocks are dark brown, and the hole is dark and the bottom is invisible.
Staring at the dark cave entrance, Li Xuan asked secretly: "Is there any monster in this cave?" Just as he was wondering, he saw a sudden strong wind in the valley. The trees on both sides of the valley suddenly rustled, and a gust of wind blew up sand and stone particles rolling around in the center of the valley. In the middle of the forest, there are two huge red lights, which are shining brightly. In a short while, there was another sound of brushing, and a big snake rushed out. Li Xuan was slightly startled, and looked intently, only to see that the snake's head was as big as Badu, it had golden scales and red eyes, it was more than ten feet long, and its waist was like a bucket. , with a single-horned head, a bloody mouth and steel teeth, and two red eyes like lightning. As soon as he ran to the open space in the valley, he coiled up a huge body, with the snake's head raised high, and the red letter spit out, hissing and screaming towards the dense forest beside him, looking at the posture, it seemed to be attacking something provocative.
"Looking at this posture, I'm afraid that the inner alchemy has been condensed, and it's just a matter of transforming." Seeing the strange appearance of the giant snake, Li Xuan wondered if it was going to be a good show. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but have fun. increase. Immediately, he quickly placed the Taoist restraint around him, and at the same time twisted his body, transformed the five elements, turned into a leaf, fluttered and attached to a small tree about ten feet high, and waited so leisurely for the upcoming Here comes the good show.
Speaking of which, just as Li Xuan hid his body, he saw a cloud of black mist suddenly rising in a dense forest opposite the giant snake. Shaking, even with Li Xuan's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly what was hidden there.
As the black mist rises, bursts of pungent stench drift away with the wind. Wherever the black mist goes, the trees are dead and the grass is withered, and even some small rocks are cracked; just look at this black mist. From the poisonous nature of the mist, one can guess that the things hidden inside must not be under the giant snake.
Looking at the ever-spreading black mist, Li Xuan was also secretly startled. Although he is not afraid of such a highly poisonous thing, if ordinary people come across it, there is no reason for him to escape, so he has some plans in his mind right now, but at this time the good show has not yet been staged, and he does not want to show up yet.

Just as Li Xuan was sighing for the poisonous mist, he saw bursts of sizzling noises suddenly coming from within the black mist, during which the two green lights suddenly paused, and in an instant, a black light flashed and burst out Something came and landed on the opposite side of the giant snake, baring its teeth and claws and neighing towards the giant snake.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Xuan was able to see the true face of this highly poisonous thing. But on the opposite side of the giant snake, there is a giant centipede with two wings on its back, more than two feet long from head to tail, and two feet wide, with a head like a wheel, eyes the size of a sea bowl, green light shining brightly, and the whole body is dazzling red, which makes the valley red. The ferocious and gigantic pliers and the winding centipede's body are horrifying to see.
It is said that as soon as the flying centipede reached the opposite side of the giant snake, it stood up half of its sturdy body, dozens of pairs of iron claws kept swinging, its eyes were green, and it made a sound like teeth grinding. The two huge steel tongs kept opening and closing, and the "click, click" sounded non-stop, as if they were demonstrating to the giant snake. When the giant snake saw the centipede approaching, it also tightened the hill-like snake formation, its giant eyes shone with red light, and its two three-foot-long huge fangs flashed green edges, showing that it was not to be outdone.
Looking at the two ominous creatures in the valley, Li Xuan couldn't help but look forward to it, but after waiting half the time, the snake and the centipede were still just staring at each other, and there was no sign that either party wanted to attack.
Li Xuanzheng wondered to himself, when he heard another cry of "嘬嘬咕咕咕" suddenly coming from the dark and deep cave. As soon as the cry came out, the snake and the centipede shook at the same time, screamed at each other, and the red shadow flashed, the centipede jumped up suddenly, its wings spread, and a pair of steel tongs shone coldly, heading straight towards the giant snake Come on.
When the giant snake saw the ferocious approach of the centipede, it didn't hesitate, it opened its mouth, and a cloud of pale black mist spewed out, mixed with some bright spots, moving towards the flying centipede like lightning.
Seeing the giant snake spit out poisonous mist, the flying centipede seemed a little apprehensive. Its wings vibrated, its huge body swayed, and it managed to avoid the oncoming black mist. .
Seeing that the centipede avoided the black mist, the snake knew that it had met a formidable enemy, so it didn't neglect, and stretched its huge body violently, and then fought with the centipede. All of a sudden, in the empty valley, sand and stones were flying, and poisonous juice was splashing everywhere. The sound echoed endlessly, and the battle was extremely fierce. After fighting like this for a while, the two were evenly matched, but they both seemed to be fighting fiercely. While tumbling back and forth, the centipede stopped suddenly, struggling to get entangled, and bit the giant snake's seven inches in one bite. Under the severe pain, the snake also turned around. The ten-foot-long snake body tightly wrapped the centipede from head to tail, twisted the snake's head, and also bit the centipede's steel tail, and refused to let go. No one can help anyone. The centipede's body was strangled by the giant snake, and the green eyes were filled with mist; Like hailstones, flying in all directions, it is truly a spectacle.
The two sides stood end to end like this for a while, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound. The snake and the centipede seemed to be in tacit understanding.
"Hehe! Interesting, such a good show, I'm afraid it's rare in a hundred years!" On a small mountain peak on the right side of the valley, a branch and leaf protruded from a small tree outside the cliff, and a tender green leaf trembled slightly.
The snake and the centipede continued to confront each other, and the red and green light kept surging on both sides. They seemed to be afraid of each other but for some reason they did not dare to let go. After another half of the time, the cry of "嘬嘬咚咚咕" could be heard again in the dark and deep cave, and it became a little more urgent, and rushed out of the cave entrance mixed with billowing white mist. The hasty cry echoed in the valley, and this time even the dissatisfaction inside could be heard.
At the same time, almost at the same time, the giant snake and the centipede let out a tragic neigh. There was a look of sadness in his eyes.
The next moment, the giant snake's body shook violently, its mouth opened wide, and a crystal clear fireball sprayed out as big as a bowl, billowing smoke from all sides, and hit the centipede on the opposite side. Under the shining light, it added a bit of tragic and bright red to the valley in the dusk.
The giant snake here is spitting inner alchemy, and the red light is excited, and the centipede over there is also slamming its arched body straight, and a black mist like thick ink suddenly rises from the huge mouth with interlaced teeth, and a black mist appears inside it. A fist-sized black bead, accompanied by the tumbling black mist, greeted the bright red snake pill in the sky.
In just a moment, I heard a loud noise of "Boom...", in the valley, red and black, coming and going, thick and colorful, smoke and dust rolled, and fierce and unparalleled air waves radiated toward the sky one by one. Sweeping away in all directions, the mountains and rocks cracked and the trees withered where they passed. It was a tragic scene, which could not be described in words. And after the loud noise, the giant snake and the centipede were also bounced high at the same time, but they didn't retreat, and still urged their inner alchemy with all their strength to hold each other, as if they were immortal.
At the moment when the two sides were at each other's throats, white thick mist suddenly gushed out from the deep cave under the cliff, and gathered at the entrance of the cave, congealed and did not disperse, looking from a distance, it looked like gelatin [*** ] Generally, it is very beautiful against the afterglow of the setting sun.
At the moment when a white mist gushed out of the cave, the snake and the centipede in the death struggle let out another stern neigh, and the red and green eyes were both terrified, and they urged themselves desperately. It seems that as long as you defeat the opponent, you can be freed.
As the two sides pushed with all their strength, the two red and black pills in the air slowly moved closer together, and their respective mist also violently repelled and rolled, and crackling sounds burst out from time to time in the turbulent air; so it was about a cup of tea. , there was only a loud noise like thunder, and the distinct fog seemed to have broken through some barrier, mixing together intimately, and the two originally irrelevant red and black beads miraculously merged into one , blending red and black, twirling non-stop in the air three feet above the ground, looking at it at this moment, there is a faint kind of splendor in it.
After a great battle between the snake and the centipede, at the end, they unexpectedly merged the inner alchemy that they had cultivated through hard work, which is really a rare thing in the world. As we all know, snakes belong to yin, centipedes belong to yang, yin and yang have the same surname, and the two sides in the battle forcefully squeezed each other with their pure demon power, and they merged the two into one at that almost impossible time. What a wonderful coincidence!
Just at the moment when the two inner pills were fused, there were bursts of sharp screams from the deep cave not far away. It seemed extremely excited, and the white mist condensed at the entrance of the cave also began to surge, slowly moving towards the center of the valley. The dark red beads hovering in the air surged. But at this time, the giant snake and the centipede relaxed one after another, lying on the ground weakly, looking at the dazzling bead still in the sky, and there seemed to be a trace of relief and reluctance in the dimly lit giant eyes.
As the milky white mist approached, the giant snake and the centipede simultaneously moved their bodies back, but did not dare to go far, their giant eyes were full of fear.
Just as the giant snake and the centipede were moving their bodies, the milky white mist suddenly rolled, and then suddenly retracted inward, revealing a gray thing, and Li Xuan in the distance was able to take a closer look. The mysterious master messenger behind this scene.
Looking at the creature that appeared in the white mist, Li Xuan recognized it at a glance. It turned out to be a gray scorpion more than three meters long. A pair of long and short pliers raised above the head, the gray body is inconspicuous, except for a slender scorpion tail that exudes a dazzling golden light; it is raised high, like a big flag, showing off to others all the time its unique side.
