The sun was shining brightly in the morning, making Xu Zice's white teeth gleam.
Ye Yunlan: "... Borrowed."
Xu Zice reluctantly said, "Senior, your swordsmanship is so superb, even if you don't lack companions, you must still lack a sword attendant who will hold a sword for you, right? Why don't you see me as senior? Tell me to go east and never go west, and I won't eat too much food, just a sip of wine is enough. As long as you can give me a few words on weekdays, you will send me to pick the moon in the sky, and I will find a way. ?Do it for the seniors!"
Ye Yunlan walked over to the street over him.
Xu Zice was still reluctant to give up, he chased after the big sword, opened his mouth and continued chattering, "Senior, this must be your first time here in Cangzhou City, right? To be honest, the boy used to grow up in the Northern Territory. , I am very familiar with this city of Cangzhou. What do you need, senior? Just tell me where you want to find it. I can find it for senior."
"For example, the Duobao Pavilion that auctions the magic weapon of medicinal herbs, the Yingchun Building that is the most suitable for having fun in the whole city, and the Qingyun Inn that has the world famous wine "Dui Liu Xian"..." He said and became excited, "So, if you have You can tell me anything you need."
Ye Yunlan: "I don't need it?"
Xu Zice didn't seem to feel his indifference, and still said with a smile: "I don't know what Xianjun needs?"
Ye Yunlan: "I want to be quiet."
Xu Zice blinked, finally realizing that his behavior seemed a little annoying, and silently shut his mouth, his eyes still staring at Ye Yunlan.
Ye Yunlan felt a little headache.
This person looked at an honest guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could it be a dog skin plaster.
He already has a clingy apprentice, doesn't he need another
So he turned his face to the side, and a hideous ghost faced Xu Zice.
"Stop with me. My sword doesn't reason with strangers."
His voice was cold.
The sword intent of annihilation is wrapped around him, and the chill is thick.
However, Xu Zice said in surprise: "To defend against the sea beasts attacking the ship together, senior and I are considered to be friends of life and death, why are we still strangers?"
Ye Yunlan was silent.
This person's face is very thick among the people he has seen in his life.
The brain circuits also seem to be very different from ordinary people.
"You're not afraid of me?" he asked suddenly.
Xu Zice was even more surprised, "What are you afraid of?"
Ye Yunlan: "When I got off the boat, the captain and the fellow cultivators all avoided it, and you were the only one to catch up. Aren't you afraid that I would kill you with a sword?"
Xu Zice didn't understand, "You saved our boat, why should I? I'm afraid you'll kill me with one sword?"
Ye Yunlan was silent.
In his previous life, he didn't care about saving people or killing people, but whenever someone met the process, he either feared him or avoided him. In this life, he has done much less, but seeing the attitude of the people on the ship before, he can also know the clue.
On the other hand, Xu Zice seemed to be lacking in heart and mind, and only followed up with a hot head. Could it be that he was not afraid that he would be in a bad mood and chop him up like a sea beast
After listening to this person, he said very seriously: "I think the senior is a good person."
Ye Yunlan said coldly: "I am neither a good person nor a righteous person. It is not beneficial for you to follow me, it will only be unpredictable, and there will be no bones left."
He had already warned him to such an extent, but Xu Zice focused his attention elsewhere, and asked suspiciously, "Senior is not the righteous way? Could it be the devil? The middle person?" Then he clapped his hands, "What a coincidence, senior. , I was also a magician."
He didn't seem to realize what a surprising word he had said. Although demon cultivators are rampant in the demon realm, they are chased and beaten by everyone in the human world. They all practice secretly. No demon cultivator will walk outside and will take the initiative to say that he is a demon cultivator.
Seeing Xu Zice scratching his head, he continued: "I came from a place close to the Demon Realm. When I was a child, I had no food, and I was often hungry. Seeing that the Demon Xiu sect was in charge of food, I went in. After that, I didn't know why I was attracted by the head. Accepted as an apprentice. However, the master only taught me some swordsmanship and moves, but did not teach me to practice exercises. It was not until I was thirteen years old that I realized that the master did not regard me as an apprentice, but only My body was injured and I wanted to take my body. I was pulled into the squatting formation by the Sect Master, but I don't know why, in the end of the battle for my body, I won. I inherited the Sect Master's spiritual power and practice experience , but was hunted down by the elders of the sect, and fled all the way from the Northern Territory to the Eastern Continent. And now it is back to the Northern Territory."
He paused, looked at Ye Yunlan, and added sincerely: "However, I now have a golden core in my cultivation. When I come back this time, if I meet my classmates, I am not afraid of them. I will definitely not cause any trouble to Daoist friends. "
He was chattering endlessly, and it could be said that he explained his life experience to the bottom.
Ye Yunlan was originally impatient to listen, but the more he listened to his experience, the more familiar it became. He glanced at the great sword on Xu Zice's back, and suddenly said: "You are the spirit root of Thunder and Fire, with a sword behind you, named Cang. flame?"
Xu Zice was surprised, "How did the senior know?"
Ye Yunlan was silent again.
The reason why he knew it was because Xu Zice was very famous in the future. It has a nickname called "Cangyan Sage", and his deeds are spread in the streets.
However, it has been two hundred years since Xu Zice became famous.
At that time, Ye Yunlan was the only cultivator in the Void Stepping Realm, but he was not recognized by the Right Path. At that time, Ye Xuanguang had already died as a martyr, Chen Weiyuan died for his family, and Lord Qi Yun disappeared. Cangyan Sage, who was the leader of the righteous path, was elected to fight against the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
According to legend, Cangyan Sage was born at a very young age. He once wandered into the Demon Sect of the Northern Territory, and was maliciously seized by the Sect Master of the Demon Sect, but he killed him instead. After two hundred years, he wandered all over the world, and gradually became a mortal. It is said that he was instructed by Jun Qiyun, who has disappeared, and later obtained the treasure house of the Ye clan.
Legend has it that Sage Cangyan is a warm-hearted man with a hearty temperament. Ye Yunlan had never met him in the previous life. He was held in the junction of good and evil by the world. They expected him to be able to stop disasters, and they were afraid that he would sacrifice human life like other demon cultivators. There are even people who say that there can only be one cultivator certificate in each age. Dao stepped on Xu, and he blocked the way of the savior of the human race.
Ye Yunlan only repaired his own sword, and ignored the outside world's discussions. And? Until his death, Xu Zice never came to trouble him.
And now, he looked at the future Cangyan Holy Monarch, his eyes were shining brightly at him, only to feel that the headache was even worse.
Those who can break through the mortal world in the future must bear great cause and effect on their bodies.
Ye Yunlan went here to solve the cause and effect of the previous life, but did not want to be contaminated by the cause and effect.
"Don't follow me anymore."
The Queying Sword was half unsheathed, and Xu Zice's face was reflected on the sword's edge.
Xu Zice was not afraid, but said: "If senior is annoying, I can stay away from senior and just want to watch and learn senior's swordsmanship. I used to learn swordsmanship, but I was not proficient, but now the sword realm is the most condensed, before. Seeing the swords of the seniors on the seaboard, it is really burning like a meteor, it is the most amazing swordsmanship I have ever seen in this world, and the feeling I feel can even match Ye Xianjun I saw on Tianchi Mountain back then. Compare. If one day I can learn such a swordsmanship? Ye Xianjun may be willing to look back at me..."
No, he won't.
Ye Yunlan walked over Xu Zice with an expressionless face.
As he said, Xu Zice didn't post it again, but just followed sneakily at a distance.
Cangzhou City is the largest ferry crossing in the northern region, and the voices of people are bustling.
It was just that Ye Yunlan, who was wearing a mask, had a cold temperament, and when the crowd saw him, they all gave way.
There are street vendors selling on the side of the street.
"Selling cakes! Selling cakes! Freshly baked red bean cake, mung bean cake, pea cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, apricot flower cake, plum blossom cake, everything!"
Ye Yunlan stopped for a moment.
Then he just walked through the hustle and bustle alone, submerged into the crowd, and didn't look back.
…
To the west of Cangzhou City, twenty miles out of the city, you can see that the sea and land are divided into two parts, and the ice forms a lake. There are mortal sleds gliding on it, and monks flying shuttles across the air.
This is the Frost Sea Realm.
Above the ice lake, in a flying boat, several acquaintances were gathering to discuss.
"Have you heard that there is a ghost in the Frost Sea Realm recently."
"I heard. I heard that the ghost slaughtered the snow melting cave overnight, and all the 109 monks in it were buried in their hands. It's really cruel."
"However, the people who gathered in the snow melting cave were originally evil cultivators who killed innocent people and robbed them. In fact, they didn't die unjustly. From this, it seems that the ghost did a good thing."
"Fellow Daoist, if you've seen their death, you wouldn't say it's doing good deeds."
"How is the death?"
"It's miserable. Regardless of the separation of the bodies, some have bulging eyes and mouths wide open, looking like they were scared to death."
"What is the strange appearance of that ghost, and it can scare people to death?"
"I don't know. But doing this is similar to a magic cultivator. This time, looking for opportunities in the Frost Sea Realm, it seems that you need to avoid this monster."
"Dao?, Taoist friend..."
"how?"
"Blood, blood! There's a lot of... a lot of blood ahead!"
…
Ye Yunlan stood in a pool of blood.
He reached out his hand and slowly wiped the blood from the sword.
Snowflakes swayed over his shoulders.
The scattered corpses lay in the snowdrifts, red like thick ink splattered on white paper.
A strong murderous aura condensed on him, and the mask on his face was cold and hideous.
For the past three days, he has been killing people.
In the Frost Sea Realm, the world is icy and snowy, and there is a lack of spiritual energy. There are no rules here, and monks loot and kill often. Many more evil cultivators gathered in the Frost Sea Realm, taking advantage of the moment when cultivators from all over the world went to this place to look for opportunities, and specially picked the single person to rob and kill.
Ye Yunlan encountered several times.
So draw the sword and kill.
Later, no evil cultivator dared to come forward to provoke him. He followed the trail of evil cultivators, found their lair, continued to draw his sword, and killed people.
Silent Sword Intent flows around him.
The Shadowless Sword hummed low every day.
The injuries in his body, because of his unrestrained shot, got worse. And now, even if he is breathing, there is a burning pain in his throat, with the smell of rust.
He felt himself alive.
Together with his sword, he gradually came to life.
He is "grinding the sword".
The spirit, energy, and spirit gradually reached the peak in the continuous sharpening of the sword.
Only in this way, when the burning spirit uses the forbidden method, can it exert 100% of the strength of the previous life and use the sword that smashes everything.
He only had a chance with a sword.
Without sheathing his sword, he held on to the missing shadow in his hand and moved forward step by step on the snow-covered glacial lake.
The wind was swift and the snow was cold, and he walked a little staggered and staggered a little.
Not far away, a flying boat passed by, but suddenly turned its head and fled as if seeing a flood and a beast.
Ye Yunlan took a few steps and started panting.
The cold wind poured into his lungs, he lowered his head and coughed, and he slowly tasted the blood in his mouth.
Xu Zice, who was sneaking behind, had come up at some point, with a worried expression on his face.
"Senior, are you alright?"
After a long while, Ye Yunlan's coughing stopped.
He looked up at the flying boat that was gradually invisible in the air, and said hoarsely: "You have already escaped, why didn't you escape?"
Xu Zice said: "I learned swordsmanship from my predecessors, why should I run away?"
Ye Yunlan: "I killed a lot of people."
Xu Zice said: "If you say murder, they deserve to die. What's wrong with the senior sending them on the road with kindness?"
Ye Yunlan was silent for a while looking at the Cangyan Holy Monarch who was praised by later generations as "gut-friendly", "righteous and kind", and "happy to support justice".
Xu Zice said again: "I see that there seems to be an injury on the senior's body. Is it really okay? I have been in the cultivation world for all these years, and I can also use a few healing techniques. Maybe I can show it to the senior."
Ye Yunlan: "No need."
Xu Zice wanted to say more, but suddenly heard a loud noise, a golden light suddenly bloomed from a distance, and then saw a huge golden lotus rising from the ground. And the flying snow in the entire Frost Sea Realm suddenly disappeared, and only countless light spots fell from the sky.
The sound of a bell came from afar, and the sound of the road roared, shaking the heart and spleen.
Xu Zice was a little stunned, "What are these...?"
Ye Yunlan looked into the distance.
There was a sword cry from the Queying Sword in his hand, like the rushing sword intent on his body.
He didn't speak, just walked towards the place where the golden lotus bloomed.
There are many monks gathered there.
When they saw the ghostly face on Ye Yunlan's face, they all retreated.
Some people were talking about it, and some people looked at him with fear. Some are disgust. But in fact, there is no difference.
Ye Yunlan glanced at it, but did not see the disciples of Tianji Pavilion.
Naturally, he would not have thought that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would not intervene.
Chen Weiyuan is good at calculating, and he is even better at taking advantage of the situation.
And? He only has one person and one sword.
One person and one sword is enough.
In the previous life, he was able to make Chen Weiyuan have to hide in the Chen Clan's great formation all his life, and he could only commit suicide. In this life, he can naturally cut through all the conspiracies and tricks, and let the damned people return to Huangquan, and no longer harm the world.
The golden lotus bloom is just a huge phantom.
There is a real golden vortex in the phantom.
In the vortex, you can vaguely see the scene in the Shenxu, and you can vaguely see the green mountains and green waters. There are many creatures that are no longer visible running in the mountains. It looks very peaceful and peaceful, and it seems that there is no danger.
Several monks have already jumped into the vortex, but most are still watching.
Ye Yunlan stepped forward.
Suddenly a monk stopped him.
"Now even demons, ghosts, and monsters? Are you trying to snatch the chance to become an immortal?"
"It is said on the Heavenly Secret List that this chance is not only about whether you can become an immortal, but also about the fate of life in this world. If it is taken away by something I don't know if it is a human or a ghost, I will wait in the future. How should a cultivator deal with it?"
"Everyone, we have to make some rules first. It's clear who can enter and who can't."
Ye Yunlan didn't speak, but Xu Zice shouted first.
"What do you mean, take this place as your family's? This is going to be a rule? The face is too big."
Is there a monk?: "You are with this ghost, are you also with it?"
Xu Zice drew his sword directly.
The sword, which was bigger than his body, slammed into the ground and burst into flames.
He folded his arms and said loudly: "I'm with the seniors, how? Do you want to fight? Come on."
Perhaps it was because his sword was too large and deterrent, the monk who spoke fell silent.
But there were still monks who wanted to stop Ye Yunlan.
Relying on the number of people, they seem to be able to be unscrupulous.
If you talk about the fate of life again, you will feel that you are on the side of righteousness.
But Ye Yunlan didn't care about the righteousness.
He only used the sword.
Sen Ran's sword light slashed in front of the monk at the front, and the sword in the monk's hand snapped.
Ye Yunlan turned his face to the side, the sword intent of silence lingered around the pale sword tip, and the mask on his face was hideous, like a ghost and a god.
The cultivator shouted and suddenly retreated wildly.
Back, back, back.
What a righteousness.
Is life important
Ye Yunlan stopped looking at them and stepped into the vortex with a sword.
…
The wind in the four wilds is shrill.
On the side of Demon Abyss, the young man sitting on the ground suddenly opened a pair of blood-red eyes.
"This deity... how long have you been in seclusion?"
He whispered to himself, and countless shadows swarmed around him, like the arthropods of animals. Occasionally, gray withered leaves drifted to his side, torn to shreds by the surging limbs.
"No..."
He frowned tightly, looking at his palm, his eyes red as if they were about to bleed.
"No... This deity... I am Shen Shu... Master is still... still waiting for me... "
He held his head, the veins protruding from his temples and the backs of his hands, bulging and throbbing. He was gasping for breath, and the shadows danced wildly around him. After half a day, he barely recovered.
The blood-red eyes finally slowly became awake.
Shen Shu stood up.
The black clothes were hunting in the wind, and the tied ponytail was swaying.
He stood alone on the side of the abyss, looking down at the pitch-darkness below.
The abyss seemed to be alive, and at this moment it seemed to be staring at him, like a beast that chose people to devour. To tear all those who dare to enter into pieces.
"Nine-turned-celestial demon body, transcending the calamity... Since I can succeed once, I can succeed the second time. No one in the world can stop me." He whispered to himself, looking at the drowsy sky, "Master... Wait for me. come back."
He leaped.
The dark shadows condensed into fluttering wings behind him, and his figure sank into the endless black abyss.
…
The surrounding scenery changes.
Ye Yunlan has already set foot on the land of the Primordial Divine Ruins.
The first thing in his ear? Hearing a long cry, Ye Yunlan suddenly saw a golden bird passing by. Its feathers were golden and gorgeous, and its eyes had double beads.
And? Chongming bird extinction before Taikoo.
Are there creatures from ancient times here? Why hadn't he heard of it in his previous life.
Soon, he knew why.
The cultivator who entered with him first had Yujian who wanted to go forward to capture the Chongming bird. As if facing the enemy, he had prepared a magic weapon and a formation. However, when the trapped beast was roped on the Chongming bird, But it went straight through. The Chongming bird turned out to be just a phantom.
"How could this be." The cultivator threw the trapped beast rope to the ground and left angrily.
Xu Zice had also followed, and was looking around curiously.
"Senior, this place is so magical, the sun actually rises from the west." Xu Zice always noticed something that others would not notice.
Ye Yunlan looked at the sky.
The crimson sun hung in the west, exuding orange-red brilliance, as if a handful of lingering fears were burning in the fire. The breath passed, the sun did not move, and the whole world seemed to stand still at this moment.
"Why do you think it has just risen, instead of falling from the west." Ye Yunlan said.
Xu Zice grinned.
"intuition."
Suddenly a bell came from afar.
The bells outside the Shenxu pointed to the entrance of the Shenxu, and where did the bells in the Shenxu point
Ye Yunlan couldn't see far away.
However, he felt that there was something here that was attracting him. That feels strong. It seems to be connected with his blood, inseparable.
Is it Chen Weiyuan's trap
he does not know.
The Primordial Divine Ruins are very large, and there are continuous high mountains when looking up. There is no time for him to find them one by one.
He decided to follow his heart.
Going to the bell is the road up the mountain. Climbing over the top of the mountain, the eyes suddenly opened up.
The orange-red sun shines, and there is a vast and vast ruin at the foot of the mountain. The continuous ancient buildings are enough to extend to the end of the field of vision, and the desolate and mighty atmosphere of the ancient times blows. In the midst of the ruins, he saw figures in ancient clothes kneeling down, their heads lowered deeply, as if they were offering sacrifices.
Are those ghosts
Ye Yunlan couldn't tell clearly, he just took the missing shadow that had not been sheathed since he entered the Frost Sea Realm, and slowly descended the mountain and walked into the ruins.
Next to him, Xu Zice kept twitching in amazement and chattering, but he didn't have the heart to hear what the other party was saying.
He crossed the tens of thousands of phantoms who were worshiping and walked to the center of the ruins.
This is a very old temple.
But it is also the best preserved temple among the ruins.
The gray and black rocks are stacked high, and in the center are two bronze gates with unusually simple patterns on them.
Xu Zice stepped forward and tried to push the door open, but he couldn't.
Ye Yunlan didn't have much strength, and just tried to press it up, but pushed it away.
There is a long passage in it
The ever-bright light is on, the deep passage leads to the underground, and the end is unknown.
Ye Yunlan stepped in.
The unknown attraction in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Despite this, Ye Yunlan was still not distracted for a moment by this attraction. His hand holding the Queying Sword is pale and stable, and he can use the sword at any time.
The sound of footsteps echoed.
Xu Zice behind him never got a response from him, and he slowly lost his voice.
At the end of the passage, there is light.
Ye Yunlan walked into a vast underground palace, with countless luminous pearls inlaid on the dome, like stars, the ancient buildings were still intact, and in the center of the buildings, there was a huge black dead tree.
Before the dead wood, there is a coffin.
The dazzling light came from the coffin.
Ye Yunlan walked in and found that it was a pair of bones.
A pair of golden bones with blood red in them. Thousands of years have passed, and it is still very bright and radiant.
"I said before, I want to give you a present."
It was not Xu Zice's voice.
Ye Yunlan turned around suddenly.
The person who followed him had suddenly become Chen Weiyuan.
Chen Weiyuan didn't give out a shawl today, but tied his hair with a crown and wore a star robe, as if he had carefully groomed his appearance. Facing Ye Yunlan, he smiled happily.
"The bones of the ancient Divine Phoenix, I wonder if you are still satisfied?"
