Low-pitched roars came from all directions. On the plain two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain, more and more strange and ferocious beasts from the southern border appeared and gathered, and some monsters kept howling and roaring towards the sky. Among the beasts, there are six or seven monsters that are particularly huge, far surpassing the ordinary beasts around them. They are standing in the crowd and turning their heads and growling. The surrounding monsters seem to be particularly afraid of them.
It was misty and rainy, and the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. Gradually, some light flashed in the clouds at the edge of the sky. After a while, there was finally rumbling thunder.
In the dark world, there are unspeakable vicissitudes.
Lightning flashed across the sky, and a vigorous shadow was reflected. The huge bird demon who had just returned from Heyang City descended from the sky. With the afterglow of the lightning, all the beast monsters saw the big bird holding two people in its claws. Hundreds of beast monsters near and far roared loudly, the momentum was so powerful that it was creepy.
Huge wings fluttered in the wind and rain, the big bird hovered over the herd of beasts for a while, and suddenly loosened its claws, and the two figures fell down like stones. It was just that although the figures rolled in mid-air, they did not Struggling like dancing, but looking very stiff, I think it was probably halfway, these two poor people could no longer withstand the strength of the giant bird and monster, and they were dying under these two giant claws.
The roar of the beast monsters on the ground rose instantly, and the sound of gnashing teeth kept coming and going. In a moment, at least dozens of ferocious beasts jumped up and rushed. In the desolate rain, only a few spots of blood were faintly seen, and finally disappeared.
The giant bird hovering in the sky screamed twice, flew again for a while, and then seemed to find something, retracted its wings, fell from the sky, and fell deep into the densely packed herd. When its huge body was about to hit the ground, its wide wings suddenly spread out again, and it made a "whoosh", and the strong wind knocked down several ferocious beasts nearby, screaming "woo hoo" .
A gust of strong wind blows, and the giant bird just floats over the herd of beasts. Along the way, countless beast monsters lower their heads in awe and dodge, and occasionally encounter those same powerful giant monster beasts. Do not show weakness. The giant bird flies all the way, its body also goes up and down from time to time, or passes over the head of the beast monster, or leaps over the branches of the trees. Sometimes when it encounters a huge, terrifying and unbelievably colossus-like monster, it also directly jumps from the top of the monster. The giant monster passed under it.
The wind and rain were turbulent, the sky was full of thunder and lightning, and the figure of the giant bird in the wind and rain was floating like duckweed. Finally, it let out another scream and fell from midair.
It was the deepest place among the beasts and monsters. Amongst the dark and strange beasts, under the light of the lightning in the sky, an oilcloth umbrella suddenly appeared. A few peach blossoms were painted on the cyan umbrella, gently blowing in the wind and rain. drift.
The giant bird landed next to this umbrella, and it was only then that it became clear that another wooden stick was tied to the handle of this umbrella, which was lengthened, and then inserted between a rock. Sitting there was a young man in gorgeous silk clothes, holding a wine jug and wine glass, pouring himself a drink. Beside the boy, the monster Taotie, who seemed a little sleepy, was lying on the rock. Seeing the giant bird fall, Taotie just opened his eyes slightly, took a look, and then closed them again.
The surrounding herd let out uneasy roars, the giant bird landed on the ground, croaked twice, and with a wave of its huge wings, it immediately fanned out more than a dozen beast monsters in the original place, and there were screams and screams one after another, but But none of the monster beasts dared to come up to challenge. The giant bird glanced to the left and right, with a haughty look, as if it dismissed these beast monsters, then turned its head to face the boy, and for a moment, it seemed to be very respectful.
"Quack, quack, quack..." Facing the boy under the umbrella, the giant bird croaked for a while, and the boy seemed to understand bird language, and nodded slowly. The giant bird called a few more times, then stood where it was, and after a while stretched out its beak to clean the feathers on its body. The rain had already soaked its whole body. After cleaning a few times like this, it quickly He gave up his efforts, looked up at the night sky, and slowly retracted his head into his wings to avoid the wind and rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the young man had one glass after another, never pausing, only occasionally lost in thought, staring into the distance for a moment, then bowed his head silently, and drank again. It's just that no matter how much spirits he drank, there was never the slightest hint of alcohol on his face.
Finally, the pot of wine was finished, and it slipped gently from the hand in the wind and rain, and landed on the muddy ground. The young man stood up slowly, and the beast monsters around him trembled, showing extremely fearful expressions. It's just that in the eyes of the young man, these countless beasts seemed to be nothing, and he didn't care at all. In his eyes, at this moment, he only silently looked at the sky, where the dark clouds were heavy and the wind and rain were rustling.
Taotie let out a low cry, and stood up beside him.
The boy was silent, turned around and patted Taotie's head lightly, and said for a long time: "Do you feel lonely too, Taotie?..."
Taotie growled lowly, but no one knew what it meant after all, the young man looked up at the sky, for a long, long time, he didn't say a word.

On the top of Qingyun Mountain and Tongtian Peak, it has been raining heavily all night and it is still falling non-stop. Members of the Righteous Way, headed by the three major sects of the Righteous Way, are gathering at the Yuqing Hall to discuss, and the voices of arguments resound from time to time. Meanwhile, the three masters who are at the head of the throne are Daoxuan Daoxuan of Qingyunmen, Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple, and Yunyilan of Fenxianggu, who are also discussing something in a low voice, and all three of them are frowning, obviously worried, He was worried about the catastrophe of the monster in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the Yuqing Hall, and everyone was startled, only to see Xiao Yicai, a long-door disciple of the Qingyun Sect, walking quickly into the Yuqing Hall, paused for a moment, nodded to the righteous people around him, and then walked quickly Walked straight to Master Daoxuan, and whispered in his ear.
Everyone looked at the two of them one after another, and they all saw that Xiao Yicai had a serious and unusual expression on his face, and following his words, there was no trace of a smile on Daoxuan's originally serious face, and the rest was solemn, Gradually, everyone's hearts were raised, and they vaguely felt that inexplicable pressure seemed to be gradually descending on this place.
After listening to Xiao Yicai's words, Master Daoxuan glanced at him, and asked another question in a low voice, Xiao Yicai nodded silently, with an affirmative expression. Reverend Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, Xiao Yicai turned around silently and stood behind Reverend Daoxuan.
Master Puhong and Yun Yilan who were beside him also looked over at this moment, Master Puhong recited the Buddha and said: "Amitabha, head of Daoxuan, could it be that there is news of beast monsters?"
Reverend Daoxuan nodded, stood up, and there was a commotion in the crowd of righteous people off the field.
Reverend Daoxuan settled down, his face gradually revealed a resolute look, and he said loudly: "Fellow daoists, I just received the news that a large group of beast monsters has appeared in the wilderness two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain. It will come, and outside Heyang City under the mountain, traces of beast monsters have begun to be found sporadically."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the crowd, all expressions of panic, fear, anger, sigh, etc. all appeared on the faces of the crowd, and the catastrophe that had weighed on the hearts of the crowd for many days finally came to the front.
Reverend Daoxuan looked at the expressions of the crowd, pressed his hands together, and the noise of the crowd slowly subsided, and when the surroundings quieted down, Reverend Daoxuan said loudly: "Everyone, the catastrophe is just around the corner, and the number of lives in the world depends on me." Waiting for the battle with these monsters, all of you present here are righteous masters with a righteous heart, for the sake of the common people in the world, you and I will do our best in the future battle, as the saying goes, the heart of heaven is at ease, presumably there is no unparalleled road in the sky, Although these monsters are temporarily rampant, they must not last long."
Among the crowd, there was silence for a while, and some people said one after another: "What the real person said is true."
"Don't worry, Daoist. With so many experts here, if we work together, it will not be difficult for us to defeat that monster!"
"Exactly, exactly..."
It seemed to be inspired for a while, and everyone's expressions gradually became relaxed and happy. After all, there are still three sects here, as well as these masters. Going further, on this Qingyun Mountain, there is also the legendary Zhuxian Sword Formation that is invincible and invincible. Looking at Daoxuan Daoxuan's confident expression, what is there to worry about
Reverend Daoxuan smiled slowly under the watchful eyes of countless righteous people, said a few words to everyone, and then walked back to the inner hall of Yuqing Palace with Master Puhong, Yun Yilan and Xiao Yicai.
Once avoiding everyone's sight, Reverend Daoxuan's expression suddenly became heavy, while Master Puhong and Yun Yilan's expressions were not relaxed. They walked into the secluded room in the inner hall, Xiao Yicai followed behind, and closed the door .
Master Daoxuan turned to Xiao Yicai and said, "Yicai, tell me the details."
Xiao Yicai nodded and said: "Yes. This disciple inspected Heyang City at the foot of the mountain, and he got rewards again and again in a day, especially at the top of Heyang City, I saw a huge bird demon appearing with his own eyes. Judging by its appearance, it is different from the rumors these days. Among the beast monsters, one of the thirteen monsters, 'Sura Bird', is very similar."
Reverend Daoxuan and the other two masters looked at each other with serious expressions, Xiao Yicai said solemnly: "Besides, the rest of the fellow disciples who secretly investigated the surrounding lands reported back one after another, and found sporadic traces of beast monsters, especially in the southwest. The densest place is two hundred miles away, but I have been waiting for a long time for the few juniors who have been investigating two hundred miles away, but there has been no news of them."
When Xiao Yicai said this, his face gradually became gloomy, Reverend Daoxuan was sullen, while Yun Yilan next to him sighed, and Master Puhong chanted Buddha in a low voice.
Reverend Daoxuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said to Xiao Yicai: "It seems that there is no mistake, the beast monster has indeed come, Yicai." He looked at his most beloved disciple, and said, "Go down the mountain again. Once there, inform the disciples who are scattered everywhere to shrink back. The range is probably within a hundred miles around Qingyun Mountain. Remember to tell them not to cross the boundary to investigate without authorization, and not to do anything with beast monsters to avoid accidents. Accident."
Xiao Yicai nodded, seemed to think of something again, and said: "Master, what about the people in Heyang City?"
Reverend Daoxuan was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Master Puhong and Yun Yilan, Master Puhong folded his hands and bowed his head, Yun Yilan said indifferently: "Up to now, the Master Master is the leader of everything, please Master Master Puhong The decision is."
Reverend Daoxuan nodded his head slightly, expressing his gratitude, then pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Yicai: "This matter is indeed tricky, but Heyang City is too dangerous, and we really can't go down the mountain to guard the people now. You go down the mountain to the river right now." Go to Yangcheng, lead all Qingyun disciples in Heyang City, and tell the people in Heyang City to go north as soon as possible, at least to cross the Qingyun Mountains. The biggest goal of those monsters at this moment is our righteous way on Qingyun Mountain, not those People, this may ensure temporary safety."
Xiao Yicai was taken aback for a moment, but looking at Daoxuan's expressionless face, he finally nodded silently and said in a low voice: "Yes, that disciple is going now."
Reverend Daoxuan said: "There is one more thing, you should inform Qingyun's other six meridians as soon as possible, and come to Tongtian Peak immediately, I want to see them immediately, and discuss something."
Xiao Yicai nodded and said: "It's a matter, disciple will go right away."
Reverend Daoxuan sighed, and said: "Be careful all the way, go!"
Xiao Yicai nodded and backed out.

"Huanyue Cave Mansion?" Zhou Yixian was taken aback, his brows frowned, his face showed a rare dignified expression, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why are you asking this?"
Gui Li said indifferently: "Aren't you always well-informed, I suddenly became very interested in this cave, so I asked you, how much do you know about this Huanyue cave?"
Zhou Yixian took a look at Gui Li, only to see that his face was calm and expressionless, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he looked inscrutable. At this time, the group of them was still in Heyang City, but the atmosphere in Heyang City at this moment was completely different due to the arrival of the huge monster bird and monster last night. The original worries finally became reality, and people panicked. Many people are under the pressure of panic, and more people have reached the brink of collapse. From time to time, people on the street are seen talking nonsense and shouting loudly, acting almost like lunatics.
Zhou Yixian withdrew his gaze, turned his thoughts in his mind, and said slowly: "You, don't you want to do something inexplicable?"
The eyes of Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Taoist all fell on Ghost Li, and Xiao Hui on Ghost Li's shoulder seemed to sense something, grinned at them and made a grimace. Gui Li said indifferently: "What do you think I can do?"
Zhou Yixian laughed dryly, and said: "Actually, I don't know much about Huanyue Cave. This cave is not well-known at first. It's only because the Patriarch Qingye retreated and enlightened in it thousands of years ago, and at the same time, the ancient sword of Zhu Xian appeared in it. It is famous all over the world, but these years it has only been used as a collection place for the ancient sword Zhuxian, and only the head of Qingyun can enter it, so this reputation has gradually faded."
Gui Li said: "Oh, is there anything else?"
Zhou Yixian hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't care what you want to do, but you'd better not go to that place."
Gui Li frowned, and said, "Why?"
Zhou Yixian sighed, and said: "It's not that you don't know your current identity. The Huanyue Cave is a land of Qingyun. If you go to Qingyun Mountain and someone finds out... don't forget that at this moment on Qingyun Mountain, There are more than thousands of people in the righteous way, if your identity is exposed, even if you turn into a bird, it will be difficult to escape."
Gui Li said coldly: "That's my business, you just need to tell me about the Huanyue Cave Mansion."
Zhou Yixian shook his head, and muttered in a low voice: "Young people nowadays are really impatient... Okay! That cave is named Huanyue, because it is rumored that on the night of the bright moon, there are colorful and gorgeous rocks in front of the cave, like a dream. But more importantly, in fact, there is a natural strange place in the cave, after people walk into it, it is like falling into a dream, and those who are not determined will be deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves, and their whole body of practice will be destroyed in one day."
Gui Li was stunned for a moment, then said: "What, there is such a thing?"
Zhou Yixian snorted, looked Gui Li up and down, said: "I advise you not to wishful thinking, you will only die if you enter that Huanyue cave."
Gui Li sneered and said, "How can you see that?"
Zhou Yixian said: "I know that you are dissatisfied in your heart, and I know that you are tenacious, but let me tell you the truth." His face gradually became solemn, and unexpectedly there was an aura of power without anger, and he said in a deep voice: "The so-called determination Being firm does not depend on your temperament, from my point of view, your life has been turbulent, full of ups and downs like mountains, and there are countless sorrows and worries in your heart, if you fall into an illusion, you may inevitably stir up your thoughts and be unable to extricate yourself."
He paused, seemingly hesitant, but after pondering for a moment, he finally said: "Also, the magic weapon in your body is a very vicious thing, and the blood spirit in your body has already merged with the blood-devouring orb and other monster powers." , this kind of monster in that kind of illusion will do you more harm than good, so I advise you, just let go of this idea."
Ghost Li looked at Zhou Xian, as if he had discovered this person for the first time, watching him silently, but Zhou Xian also faced him calmly, after a long time, Ghost Li turned around slowly without looking at him.
At this moment, there was another commotion in Heyang City, and a large number of Qingyun disciples appeared on the street at the top of the city, saying something loudly to the people on the street. Zhou Yixian and the others were astonished, and squeezed over to listen carefully, but it was Qingyun disciple who announced to everyone that the beast monster was coming, Heyang City was already extremely unsafe, and the people were told to go north, at least they had to pass the Qingyun Mountains.
Zhou Yixian only listened with a bitter expression on his face, shook his head and sighed, turned his head to Xiaohuan and the others and said, "Oh, it's going to be bad now, I don't know... Eh, where's Gui Li?"
Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist were startled, they turned around quickly, but saw nothing behind them, the crowd was crowded, but there was nowhere to see Gui Li's figure.
The crowd was vast and the voices were noisy. Zhou Yixian, who was standing in the crowd, frowned and shook his head. Xiaohuan beside him was silent, just looking into the distance silently. After a long time, he sighed softly. A bit sad.
