Qingyun Mountain.
Tongtian Peak, the ancestral hall of the ancestors.
The old man guarding the ancestral hall, still holding his broken broom in his hand, stood at the entrance of the main hall of the ancestral hall and looked out. There was a faintly strange expression on the wrinkled face, which seemed to have some expectation and a little excitement.
There was no one in the open space outside the main hall, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are many more strange spells around this open space than usual, either stuck on the surrounding tree trunks, or hidden in the grass and stones Down. Each piece of talisman paper is about half a foot apart, seemingly unrelated to each other, but in fact they faintly form a mysterious magic circle, isolating this open space from the surroundings.
The sun is warm, shining from the sky, inside and outside the magic circle, but there is no difference at all, as it is generally illuminated by the sun.
Just the next moment, there was a sharp sound, which suddenly sounded from above the open space. The old man standing at the gate of the ancestor's ancestral hall looked up, and subconsciously tightened his hand holding the broom.
A strange darkness suddenly appeared from above the clearing, covering the clearing in a blink of an eye, imbuing the surroundings with a sense of chilling. But this darkness is only in this open space. To be precise, it is only in the magic circle formed by the surrounding talismans. Obviously, the strange magic circle around this is the master who set up this powerful bound in it.
I saw that the black air in mid-air was getting thicker and thicker, making people feel like they were in the Nine Nether Hell, but at the next moment, a dragon roared and roared, and came out from the black air, but there was a green light shining, coming from the black air. The middle suddenly burst out, and in a blink of an eye, the light was brilliant, driving away the black energy.
Lin Jingyu held the Dragon Slaying Divine Sword and appeared high in the sky. The green light emitted from his body was extremely dazzling, but he saw his eyes were shining brightly, and his sword merged into one, and he rushed straight down from the sky impressively.
The dragon-slaying sword was entrained with thousands of rays of light, and it made a loud roar with great momentum. The sword was still far away in the sky, but the ground was already dusty, and the sand and stones flew away. And as Lin Jingyu's body shot down like lightning, the sides of his body also seemed to ignite flames out of thin air because of the speed and momentum.
He looked like a desperate and war-like god of war, flying down.
The lips of the old man in the ancestral hall suddenly began to tremble slightly.
"boom!"
A huge roar came in a blink of an eye, and the ground hit by this miraculous power of the true law groaned in pain. In an instant, the ground in the magic circle was torn apart, and large and small stones broke away from the ground and shot up into the sky one after another. And the dazzling green light group in the middle of that force has penetrated deeply into the depths of the ground.
All kinds of talisman papers around this open space, including the mysterious spells drawn on them, suddenly lit up together. There was a faint sound of mysterious incantations in the air, which sounded like a whisper, and the invisible power spread out, covering this huge destructive power and preventing it from leaking out.
Outside the magic circle, the sun is warm and the vegetation is leisurely; but inside the magic circle, the sky is turned upside down, like a violent storm.
This is the miraculous scene outside Qingyun Mountain Patriarch's Ancestral Hall at this moment.
In the distance, a dark green figure, looking at this place from a distance, stood with his hands behind his back, motionless.
The storm in the magic circle gradually calmed down, and the sand, stones and dust that were excited by the huge force fell down one after another. The cracks on the ground and the huge deep hole still recorded the earth-shattering blow just now.
The corner of the mouth of the old man standing at the entrance of the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall twitched, and finally a smile appeared. In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a deep trace of relief.
After a whistling sound, Lin Jingyu jumped out of the deep pit with the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, his body was covered with dust, and even his handsome face was somewhat stained. As soon as he fell to the ground, he immediately began to gasp for breath, but on his face, there was still an uncontrollable expression of excitement.
He raised his head and looked at the old man standing at the gate of the ancestral hall.
There was a smile on the old man's mouth, and he slowly raised his hand and waved to him gently.
Lin Jingyu panted for a while, walked quickly to the old man's side, and Zhanyan called out: "Senior, I..."
The old man smiled and nodded, his eyes rested on him, full of relief and love, and whispered: "You are fine, really fine."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, looked at the sky, and said leisurely: "Even if I was able to master this 'Slaying Ghosts and Gods' true sword art back then, it would not be much faster than you."
With a "swipe", Lin Jingyu inserted the Dragon Slaying Sword back into the scabbard, the excitement on his face still remained, and he said: "Senior, if it wasn't for your guidance, I really don't know when I will be able to practice This is the peerless truth!"
The old man snorted, with a look of disdain on his face, and said lightly: "In today's Qingyun Sect, apart from Daoxuan, Tian Buyi and your former master Cangsong are not bad, the other elders are the first ones. They're all worthless guys."
Lin Jingyu was taken aback. He had been learning from this mysterious ancestral hall elder for more than ten years. Over the years, every time he cultivated, his admiration and admiration for this old man grew. I have opened up a world that I never knew before. It turns out that Taoism can still be practiced in this way.
And on weekdays, Lin Jingyu gets along with this old man for a long time, the old man loves and likes him more and more, and talks with him gradually, which naturally involves some people who comment on the world. His tone was unexpectedly arrogant, as if looking around the world, few people could fall into his eyes.
Although Lin Jingyu didn't dare to refute at first, he still felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but as his practice deepened, he felt more and more that this old man was really unfathomable, and even more that he was so arrogant, so naturally there was a reason for him. With such a way, how many people in the world can be admired by him
It's just that he has always disliked Tian Buyi, the obese teacher in Dazhu Peak, and there may be some reasons why he scolded Zhang Xiaofan when he saw Tian Buyi, so he couldn't help but said: "Senior, I think that Tian Buyi is so ordinary. Come on, what's the big deal?"
The old man glanced at him, shook his head and said, "What do you young people know? Tian Buyi doesn't look amazing, but he has other talents in cultivating Taoism, and he has a firm and persistent personality, which is far beyond what other people can match. One point is especially important after the cultivation has deepened. He has been mediocre since he started, but once he got the guidance and enlightened, his Taoism practice has made great progress, but his achievements are still higher than those of the usual senior brothers and sisters who look down on him. "
He snorted again coldly, and said: "Nine out of ten people in this world are mediocre, just like Tian Yun, Shang Zhengliang and a bunch of trash before, what do they know?"
Lin Jingyu was silent, but seeing the arrogant face of the old man, he even regarded Taoist Tianyun and the few Qingyun chieftains who were famous all over the world as waste in his words. If this spread to the outside world, it would be a shocking joke, but somehow , Lin Jingyu heard it now, but he didn't even have any doubts.
The old man turned his head to look at Lin Jingyu, and said: "Although you can already use this style of 'slaying ghosts and gods', but this style of true sword art is fierce and fierce, although it is powerful, it also consumes a lot of your own vitality. You You are very talented, you can already practice this method at a young age, but you still need to practice constantly to be able to use it freely, and it is better not to use this true sword art until a critical moment."
Lin Jingyu knelt down in front of him, respectfully said: "Yes, this disciple understands."
The old man lifted him up, looked at him a few times, and said with a hint of arrogance on his face, "Fang today, everyone inside and outside the Qingyun Sect only said that the 'Sword of the Excalibur' is the supreme truth of my Qingyun Sect. Fa, in fact, what kind of person was the Patriarch Qingye that I sent back then, he sorted out the Taoism handed down by the ancestors of the predecessors, and also used his own comprehension from the unnamed ancient scrolls to pass down a total of four types of true sword formulas, which one is not The supremely powerful true law?"
"What?" Lin Jingyu was startled, and said, "There are other things like this! My master... he never told me before."
The old man shook his head slightly and said, "Your master doesn't know either."
Lin Jingyu's surprise was even more serious. Taoist Cangsong's status in Qingyun Sect was simply below one person and above ten thousand people, but this old man actually said that even he didn't know, but in fact Taoist Cangsong did. Nothing was said to him.
Lin Jingyu couldn't help being more curious about the origin of this old man's identity.
The old man's eyes full of vicissitudes of life only turned around his face, and he knew what the young man was thinking, but he didn't say anything, but suddenly frowned, as if he had noticed something, his eyes suddenly turned to Glanced from a distance.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, with a strange expression on his face, and then said lightly: "It's getting late, you go back first!"
Lin Jingyu was really reluctant to part with it, but he had always respected this old man like a god, and dared not disobey his words, so he knelt down and kowtowed three more times before turning around and leaving.
Soon there was only the old man left in the arena. He was silent for a long time, and his body returned to his stooped appearance. He staggered to the side, the broom danced, and the dust was raised. It was swept up by him like nothing, and floated into the dust.
After tidying up the open space, he randomly filled the hole made by Lin Jingyu with those stones. After barely filling it up, the old man seemed to be a little tired. He stood and rested for a while, and then slowly turned around. , Go back to the main hall of the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall.
※※※
In the main hall of the ancestral hall, it was still as quiet and dark as in the past. Before the countless spiritual tablets enshrined in the depths of the hall, flickering candles burned silently.
It's just that at this moment, there is an extra figure standing in front of those spiritual seats, standing tall.
That person was dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, with a fairy-like appearance, and he was the real Daoxuan, the head of the current Qingyun Sect.
Master Daoxuan heard the sound of footsteps, turned his head to look at the old man, but didn't say anything, turned his head to look at the ancestor spirit tablets, then took a step, picked up three sticks of fine incense on the sacrificial table in front of the spirit tablets, A nearby candle was lit, holding the incense and bowing three times respectfully, and inserting the incense into the incense burner.
"I haven't come here for a while," Daoxuan's voice was calm and slow, as if he was talking to a very old friend, "I don't know if the patriarchs will blame me?"
The old man standing behind him walked up tremblingly, leaned the broom aside, picked up a rag, gently wiped off the incense ash on the sacrificial table, and said in a low voice: "You made my Qingyunmen so impressive, It's too late for the patriarchs to be happy, so how can they blame you?"
Reverend Daoxuan smiled lightly, turned his head to look at him, and suddenly said: "You seem to be getting older."
The old man paused for a moment, then continued to wipe the table without turning his head and said: "People who have died of heart will naturally age faster."
Reverend Daoxuan looked at the old man silently, and didn't speak any more. The old man wiped the sacrificial table slowly and carefully, put the rag aside, turned to face Reverend Daoxuan, looked at him for a while, and suddenly said: "Did you see it just now?"
Reverend Daoxuan nodded silently, sighed and said: "That kid's aptitude is indeed very high, but," his voice seemed to be a little louder: "I didn't expect that you would pass on 'Slaying Ghosts and Gods' to him."
The old man snorted and said: "This child's temperament and aptitude are all good. If that's the case, why didn't he pass it on? Could it be that he hides secrets in his body like you and takes them to the coffin when he dies?"
Reverend Daoxuan's complexion changed, he seemed to be angry, but for some reason, facing this old man, he, the respected leader of the righteous way in the world, was extraordinarily patient, even such sarcastic words, he just changed his complexion, and then held back up.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Master Daoxuan said calmly.
The old man raised his head and said, "I'm just an old man at the end of his life, what's the matter?"
Reverend Daoxuan said: "Just today, at a later date, Yun Yilan, the master of Fenxiang Valley, will lead his disciples to come to Qingyun Mountain to worship the mountain."
The old man frowned suddenly, and said, "Yun Yilan?"
Master Daoxuan smiled and said: "You also remember him, right?"
The old man sneered, turned his head away, his voice suddenly became meaningful, and said, "That man is such a cunning..."
※※※
Southern Xinjiang, Qilidong Mountains.
Here is a rolling mountain range, with the Qilidong Valley as the center, extending to all sides. For a long time, these mountains have been covered with lush forests and green mountains and green waters, but at this moment they have completely lost their original appearance.
The icy cold wind fell from the sky, howling and blowing through the mountains, like a ghost crying. The sky was covered with black dark clouds, and the pressure was very low. It was a bit like the appearance when the Li people invaded Qilidong, but the power was far from comparable to that day.
And the forest that used to be filled with all kinds of birds and beasts has completely turned into a hell on earth at this moment. There are all kinds of weird monsters and alien races everywhere, and the corpses of slaughtered birds and beasts are everywhere, making it a bloody storm.
With a long howl, a figure flew over from a distance, and after a few ups and downs, it came to him, it was Qinglong.
I saw that his face was stern, and his clothes were already stained with blood. The strong wind passed by, and he stopped on a branch that protruded horizontally, looked around anxiously, and then looked behind him.
There was a piercing howl suddenly between the trees in the originally flat forest, and at the place where the wings fluttered loudly, the huge white-bone monster snake soared into the sky, and the figure of the green dragon in front was reflected in the two giant eyes, and it was even bigger. With a roar, he rushed forward. Immediately behind it, black smoke billowed and roared like a tide, and countless monsters swarmed towards the green dragon.
Not long ago, the place where the Miao people lived in Qilidong was suddenly surrounded by countless monsters, and the leader was this terrifying monster with white bones. This white-bone monster snake has a huge body, and the bones waved wherever it passed, and people and animals were beaten out, and it can even emit poisonous gas, killing people instantly. As for other ordinary monsters, it is also extremely powerful and cruel.
Although the Miao people are brave, they are no match for these monsters. In the blink of an eye, Qilidong has become a hell on earth, a slaughterhouse.
Qinglong saw that the situation was not good, so he made a quick decision and asked Tu Magu, the patriarch of the Miao nationality, to evacuate the remaining Miao people into the altar. The wizards in those altars still knew some southern Xinjiang witchcraft and could resist for a while. Unexpectedly, he attacked the white-bone monster snake unexpectedly, and at the same time, he used swift movements to kill the monsters with heavy hands. Sure enough, he attracted most of the monsters' attention to him.
It's just that other monsters are fine, but the white-bone demon snake is no small feat. With Qinglong's skills and the rare treasure "Qiankun Qingguang Ring", it can't win. Moreover, there are more and more monsters around, and the pressure on Qinglong is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to being shocked in his heart, he also intends to lure these monsters away, so he fled to the mountain, and indeed attracted many monsters, including the white bone demon snake .
It's just that since he wants to lure away the monsters, he doesn't want to fly into the sky, and only flies over the forest floor, but to his surprise, it seems that the beasts and birds all over the mountains and plains have undergone strange changes, either being killed or killed. It turned into a particularly aggressive monster, it would appear wherever it went, and it would be attacked, it was really hard to deal with.
At this moment, the green dragon flew up again, dodging the huge tail blow from the furious white-bone monster snake, but saw three or four giant trees under its feet, who did not know how many years they had lived, were swept away by this monster together When it moved to the side, there was a clattering noise, during which it directly hit many smaller monsters, and the howls sounded everywhere.
The white-bone demon snake watched the green dragon fly up, raised its head to the sky, roared angrily, and suddenly three pairs of wings vibrated, its huge body flew up, and rushed towards the green dragon in the air.
Qinglong was taken aback, although he saw that the monster had three pairs of wings at the beginning, but such a huge figure really flew up, and the power was really astonishing. For a while, he saw that huge body rushing down.
But Qinglong is not a mortal after all, he is ranked first among the four holy envoys of the Ghost King Sect, so he is naturally superior, I saw his body twisting, he passed through the gap between the twisting body of the bone monster snake, and walked towards Fly in the opposite direction to Qilidong.
The bone demon snake roared again and again, flapping its wings and chasing after it.
Qinglong flew for a while. After all, his Taoism was profound, and he gradually threw away the bone demon snake and other monsters. He saw that the distance was relatively far away. He was thinking whether he should get rid of these monsters, and then turned back to Qilidong to see those monsters. How is the Hmong situation
At this moment, he suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw a purple light flashing across the woods below him, and then blood splashed out, and monster beasts screamed one after another, and all the monster beasts from all directions rushed towards the place under him .
Seen from the sky, countless ferocious monsters are rushing forward with their teeth and claws open, like the surging waves of an endless evil sea, it is really thrilling.
Among them, there was a woman's angry shout.
Qinglong's heart moved, several thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and finally he folded down and went to check it out.
As soon as he entered the woods, he could only smell the stench, and he wanted to vomit. There were corpses of monsters everywhere, lying on the ground in pieces, with blood splattered everywhere. Sure enough, not far away, there was a woman who looked like a woman fighting with countless monsters. In her hand was a magic weapon gleaming with purple light.
Qinglong's eyes shrank, and he lost his voice: "Purple Mans Blade... Are you Jin Ping'er?"
The woman also seemed to be taken aback, looked back, her body floated over, but her hands didn't stop at all, the purple awns shone on the retractable part, and killed three monsters.
"Who are you?" Jin Ping'er landed next to Qinglong and said coldly.
Qinglong wondered, with Jin Ping'er's current practice, why didn't she rise up against the sky? Once in the sky, only a few of these monsters can go to the sky, isn't it so simple
Even though he was thinking like this in his heart, Qinglong was still ready to answer, but before he could speak, he and Jin Ping'er both shook their bodies at the same time, and if they felt something, they raised their heads and looked forward together.
Just now, the countless monsters that had fallen into a state of madness suddenly receded like a tide, but in the depths of the forest in front of them, a cold killing intent surged over. These two people with such high morals couldn't help fighting a cold war.
Qinglong was horrified, there was such a horrible thing in the southern border!
Just at the place where they were terrified, the next moment, behind the giant tree in front, a figure flickered suddenly, and a person walked out slowly.
The man was wearing bright silk clothes, with black hair scattered on his shoulders, slender and white hands, and extremely handsome appearance, he was actually a pretty, almost coquettish young man.
Qinglong just looked a little stunned, but almost at the same time, he suddenly felt that the body of Jin Ping'er next to him was trembling slightly after the young man appeared for some reason.
