The rain has stopped for the time being, but the black clouds in the sky are still very low, layer upon layer, making people feel breathless.
The north gate of Heyang City was wide open, and countless people poured out of the city, heading north, the sound of crying was heard all the way, and no one knew where the road ahead was.
Xiao Yicai led Qingyun's disciples to maintain order all the way, constantly comforting the panic-stricken people, and telling the people around time and time again that this time is only a temporary departure, as long as the beast monster is defeated in a few days, and the catastrophe is over, everyone can return home again.
After a busy day, he was really dry mouthed and exhausted. Xiao Yicai shook his head silently as he watched the long queue of people moving slowly forward. He was about to take a break when he suddenly saw Lin Jingyu standing Not far away, he also looked tired. He and Lin Jingyu were familiar, so he walked over and patted Lin Jingyu's shoulder lightly.
Lin Jingyu looked back, revealed a slight smile, and spoke, but his voice was hoarse: "Senior brother, you're here too..."
Xiao Yi responded, the two looked at each other, and then looked at the people around them, they shook their heads and smiled wryly for a while.
The direction of the ancient road heading north, from a distance, seems to be the same gloomy sky, with no light to be seen.
Zhou Yixian, Xiaohuan and Yegou Taoist were also mixed in the crowd. Because there were too many Qingyun disciples around him and he had a weird face, he covered most of his face with a cloth cap and followed Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan behind. Zhou Yixian walked in the crowd, looked left and right, frowned, and sighed from time to time.
Xiaohuan said softly: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yixian shook his head and said: "This battle is related to the fate of the common people in the world, but I'm afraid that the righteous way on Qingyun Mountain has little chance of winning."
Xiaohuan was silent, somewhat knowing why Zhou Yixian spoke like this. Since the beast monster appeared in the human world, in a short period of time, it entered the middle land from the southern border, swept the world all the way, invincible, powerful and cruel, and the disasters it caused have surpassed all natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past. Today, most of the last resistance in the world is concentrated on Qingyun Mountain, and most of the hopes of the people in the world are mostly on Qingyunmen's legendary invincible Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Xiaohuan forced a smile and said, "Isn't there still a Jade Immortal Sword Formation? There is still hope."
Zhou Yixian shrugged his shoulders, and said: "This...hehe, that's all, anyway, ordinary people like us, let fate be our fate." At this point, he paused, and suddenly turned his head to look at the majestic towering tower in the distance, hidden at the moment. The strange peak in the black cloud was so abrupt that Qing Yunshan looked hideous, and then said slowly: "But these people in the right way! Don't let the backyard catch fire..."
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's the fire in the backyard?"
Zhou Yixian gave a strange laugh, shook his head without answering, and walked forward, Xiaohuan glared at him, and didn't bother to ask, after all, in this situation, how could he care about those righteous ways. Only Daoist Wild Dog, who was following behind Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan, seemed to tremble, and his eyes, hidden in the shadow under the cloth cap, kept flickering.
Lin Jingyu and other Qingyun disciples had been busy for a whole day in this long queue of common people. Seeing that most of the brigade had already passed by, Lin Jingyu was relieved. , Five ferocious beast monsters are still tired. Just thinking about taking a good rest, suddenly a child walked by and kept looking at Lin Jingyu.
Lin Jingyu was a little strange, looked at the child, and saw that his clothes were shabby, obviously he was not a child of a wealthy family, but his face was pretty and his eyes were bright, he was very cute.
Lin Jingyu smiled, and said softly: "Little brother, what's the matter?"
The child hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and handed over a note, and said timidly: "Just now an uncle asked me to give you a note."
Lin Jingyu was startled, took the note from the child, unfolded it, and saw that there were only four characters written on it.
"The backyard is on fire!"
Lin Jingyu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said to the child: "What does this mean, by the way, where is the person who gave you the note just now?"
The child turned his head and pointed forward, suddenly his face became confused again, and said: "Hey, it's gone, it was an uncle wearing a hat just now, I asked me to give it to you."
Lin Jingyu looked at the note in his hand and frowned. After a while, he looked up and saw a vast sea of people, but where could he find the mysterious figure in the hat that the child mentioned
※※※
Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.
"Clang!"
The sound was like a dragon's chant, the room was full of light, the Tianya Divine Sword was in her hand, Lu Xueqi looked at each other holding the sword expressionlessly. On the sword blade like autumn water, her unparalleled face was reflected, as if bullying frost was better than snow.
She stared deeply at the sharp blade, and Tianya seemed to feel something, trembling slightly, as if excited.
"What are you thinking?" Wen Min's voice came from the side, Lu Xueqi silently stared at the sword in her hand, and said for a long time: "I don't know how many days will pass, whose blood will flow on this sword blade?"
Wen Min walked slowly to her side, patted Lu Xueqi on the shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, my good junior sister, now that the catastrophe is at hand, Master will not pursue your disobedience to her anymore. As long as we stay here Do your best in the first battle, presumably there is no unparalleled path."
Lu Xueqi nodded, but for some reason, there was always some lingering gloom in her heart, she whispered: "Yes."
Wen Min smiled and said: "That's good, Master is still waiting for us to go to Tongtian Peak together! Let's go!"
Lu Xueqi nodded again, put away Tianya, took a deep breath, then followed Wen Min and walked out.
Winding along the corridor, we came to the front mountain of Xiaozhufeng. Master Shuiyue was already standing there, and several female disciples of Xiaozhufeng were standing beside him. Wen Min and Lu Xueqi stepped forward, Wen Min first said: "Master, I have arrived with Junior Sister Xueqi."
Master Shuiyue stood with his hands behind his back, turned around slowly at this moment, glanced at Wen Min, and then fell on Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi lowered her head, not daring to look into Master's gaze, she only said softly: "Master, I'm here. My disciple's disobedience made you angry."
Master Shuiyue said indifferently: "I have no time to be angry."
Lu Xueqi's face seemed to turn pale again, everyone around her dared not speak, Wen Min shook her head slightly, looked at Master Shuiyue, and called out in a slight pleading tone: "Master..."
Master Shuiyue snorted, then sighed again, and said: "Forget it, forget it, let's put all these aside for now! If we can survive this big battle, let's talk about it later."
All the disciples didn't dare to respond, Master Shuiyue waved his sleeves, turned around and said calmly: "Let's go, the Master Master is still waiting for us on Tongtian Peak!"
As soon as the words fell, a white light wrapped around her figure soared into the sky. Wen Min looked at Lu Xueqi, Lu Xueqi forced a smile, Wen Min whispered: "It's okay, don't think about it."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to everyone: "Let's go too!"
For a moment, the light on the Xiaozhufeng was dazzling, and beautiful and strange lights flew up, flying towards the dark clouds in the sky, adding a bit of color, but the dark clouds all over the sky swallowed up these lights in a blink of an eye.

Qingyun Mountain, Big Bamboo Peak.
Song Daren led five juniors to stand outside the Shoujing hall, waiting for Tian Buyi and Suru to appear, but it seemed that after a long time, Tian Buyi and his wife still did not come out.
Sixth disciple Du Bishu was a little impatient, and said softly to Song Daren: "Eldest senior brother, why haven't master and wife come out, what are they doing inside?"
Song Daren gave Du Bishu a blank look, and said angrily, "How do I know, if you want to know so much, why don't you go in and watch it yourself!"
Du Bishu hit a snag, Na Na flinched back, and complained in his mouth: "I know, I know, you can't get a wife by yourself, so don't take it out on me!"
Song Daren's ear tipped, he actually heard it, and couldn't help becoming furious. He stretched out his hand and slapped Du Bishu on the back of the head, and said angrily, "What did you say?"
Du Bishu was taken aback, he was always timid, apart from being in awe of his master and his wife, he was this elder brother, but Song Daren was usually very easy-going, but it seemed that the twists and turns in the good things with Wen Min had dealt him a big blow , actually became angry.
The senior brothers next to them were suppressing their smiles, squinting at Du Bishu, Du Bishu looked embarrassed, and was about to ask the other senior brothers for help, but unexpectedly, He Dazhi, Wu Dayi and others all looked up at the sky, Or look at the distant mountains, a leisurely scene of ecstasy, just like a fairy who doesn't care about world affairs.
Du Bishu glared at these disloyal senior brothers, and finally had to laugh dryly at Song Daren, and said, "Da, senior brother, you don't have to worry, after this catastrophe is over, I will go down the mountain immediately to invite the best matchmaker." Say hello to you... "
Before he finished speaking, the purple-faced Song Daren kicked Du Bishu away, and with a "plop", He Dazhi and others snickered and shook their heads. Only Du Bishu looked depressed and sat down. on the ground.
The faint laughter came in from outside the hall, Tian Buyi and Suru heard it, Suru showed a rare smile on her dignified face, then sighed again, and said softly: "Not easy, all the disciples are here Waiting!"
Tian Buyi was dressed in long clothes, with a solemn face, standing in front of the statue of Sanqing in Shoujing Hall, he nodded silently. Then he stared at the three statues, took a step forward, picked up three sticks of incense from the altar, lit them on the candles, solemnly held the incense in salute, and bowed three times.
After inserting the incense into the censer, Tian Buyi stood silently, Suru also bowed three times with a respectful expression. Just when they were about to turn around, Tian Buyi suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks, Suru was a little astonished, turned around and said: "What's wrong, Buyi?"
Tian Buyi frowned, suddenly turned around and strode away, but walked around behind the statue of Sanqing. Suru's face changed, she seemed to understand something, but looking at her expression, she seemed to hesitate, but she still followed Tian Buyi and walked over.
Behind the statue, there is also an altar for altar, but the scale is much smaller than the front, and there is a yellow curtain hanging down beside it, covering most of it. Tian Buyi stood in front of the small altar, looked at it for a while, but didn't make any sacrifices. After a while, he stretched out his hand into the curtain, groped a few times, and found that he came from the edge of the altar. At the place, he took out a wooden tablet with a spiritual position, and it was engraved on it: Brother Wan Jian, a spiritual position!
Suru watched from the side, watching Tian Buyi gently wipe off the dust on the spiritual tablet with his sleeve, the dust is not thick, obviously someone wipes it often, after cleaning, Tian Buyi respectfully put the tablet on the altar, He took three fine incense sticks from the side and lit them, but he bowed three more times to this tablet.
Suru's face was indifferent, and she said in a low voice: "It's not easy, what are you doing, do you still hope that Senior Brother Wan will protect Qingyun at this pass?"
Tian Buyi said coldly: "Senior Brother Wan was born in Qingyun after all, he is full of arrogance, but he values his sect the most. If he knows what happened today, if he has a spirit in heaven, he will definitely protect Qingyun's lineage."
Suru was silent, after a long time she shook her head lightly and sighed.
Tian Buyi looked at the tablet for a long time before slowly saying: "Let's go."
When the two of them came out of the Shoujing Hall, Song Daren and other disciples were already waiting outside the door. Tian Buyi looked from Song Daren to Du Bishu and nodded. He glanced at the quiet disciple's house in the distance again, and there seemed to be a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
Maybe it's because of the imminent catastrophe and the imminent war! Tian Buyi looked in a bad mood and didn't say much. Looking at the disciples who had been waiting for a long time, he finally just nodded and said, "Let's go! Go to Tongtian Peak."
Where the strange light flashed, Tian Buyi took the lead, followed by Suru, and the disciples of the Great Bamboo Peak hurriedly followed. In the dark cloudy sky, several brilliant rays of light flashed across the sky, and then disappeared into the clouds.

Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu and other disciples of Qingyun were so exhausted that they finally sent all the people in Heyang City to the ancient road to the north when it was getting dark on this day. Occasionally, sporadic people gathered and headed north.
It was just a short day and night, Xiao Yicai, Lin Jingyu and other Qingyun disciples seemed to have lost weight and were very tired, and when everyone spoke, their voices were almost hoarse.
Standing at the top of Qingyun City, looking at the figures of the people's long dragons gradually disappearing in the distance, Xiao Yicai finally felt relieved, smiled wryly, and said hoarsely to Lin Jingyu who was standing beside him: "Finally, we are sent away."
Lin Jingyu also heaved a sigh of relief, his tense expression temporarily relaxed, but his brows were always furrowed, not completely relaxed like Xiao Yicai, as if he still had something in his heart.
Xiao Yicai is a smart person, he soon noticed that Lin Jingyu's brows were still serious, and asked in a daze, "Why, Junior Brother Lin, do you think there is anything wrong?"
Lin Jingyu was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Senior brother misunderstood, I don't feel wrong, it's just that I'm worried about the catastrophic battle in front of me."
Xiao Yicai nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I know, in fact, I am not like this. But the so-called evil does not suppress the righteous, and there is no unparalleled road, you and I are both followers of the righteous way, for the sake of the world, come here In the war against Japan, you and I will do our best, don’t think too much about it.”
Lin Jingyu smiled, nodded and said: "Senior brother is right."
Xiao Yicai smiled slightly, and said: "Then I'll go over there and have a look." He left Lin Jingyu and walked to the side, originally he wanted to go to Heyang City to take a closer look, so as not to miss any common people, otherwise Once the beast monster comes to kill, most likely it will be unavoidable.
Unexpectedly, he only took a few steps when Lin Jingyu's low voice suddenly came from behind him:
"After... fire... after..."
Xiao Yicai was startled, turned his head to look, and saw Lin Jingyu frowned tightly, with a look of bewilderment on his face, standing on the spot and whispering something, when he listened carefully, he seemed to be a bit vague about what was behind sound.
Xiao Yicai raised his eyebrows and said, "Junior brother Lin, what happened to Houshan?"
Lin Jingyu was startled, raised his head and said, "Houshan, what Houshan?"
On the contrary, Xiao Yicai was taken aback by what he said, and said: "I heard you keep talking about the back mountain and the back mountain. I think you have often gone to the ancestral hall of the ancestors of the back mountain of our Tongtian Peak to help you. What's the matter!"
Lin Jingyu looked a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "No, no, I was talking to myself indiscriminately, and I made my senior brother worry."
Xiao Yicai smiled, and said: "It's fine as long as you're fine, Junior Brother Lin, a big battle is coming, you have to keep your spirits up!"
Lin Jingyu nodded with a smile, and was about to speak, suddenly at this moment, disciple Qingyun screamed in surprise, Xiao Yicai and Lin Jingyu were shocked, almost at the same time they jumped into the air, and flew towards the place where the scream occurred.
The place where the sound came from was the south gate of Heyang City, where several Qingyun disciples were making their final inspections, but at this moment, each of them seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and they raised their magic weapons with nervous expressions. On the city wall, a ferocious monster with the head of a lion and the body of a wolf, with piercing and fierce eyes and a low growl, was staring at these Qingyun disciples, but it also seemed to know that these people were not ordinary people, so it did not act rashly for a while.
Xiao Yicai and Lin Jingyu fell down, at this time other Qingyun disciples also rushed over, everyone gasped after seeing it clearly, Xiao Yicai breathed out, and said in a low voice: "It's a beast. "
Suddenly, a Qingyun disciple beside Lin Jingyu yelled loudly, "Outside, outside..."
The voice was terrified, everyone heard it, and suddenly their hearts seemed to lift up, almost at the same time they looked towards the direction that disciple Qingyun was pointing in the distance outside Heyang City.
Under the dark cloudy sky, on the horizon, rumbling thunder came, and lightning pierced the sky silently. The earth was trembling slightly, and the low-pitched roar seemed to seep slowly from the depths of Nine Nethernesses, but it rushed straight into the depths of the human soul, reverberating endlessly.
Countless beast monsters gather to form a boundless black terrifying tide, galloping from afar, rumbling like rushing thunder but already suppressing the thunder in the sky, the heaven and earth are chilling, and the lightning glow is like a strange snake scurrying around. Even though the evil spirit that persecuted people's hearts was far away, it was already blowing towards their faces.
All Qingyun disciples were pale, Xiao Yicai gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Go, go, go back to Qingyun Mountain immediately."
While he was yelling, all the disciples of Qingyun did not dare to be negligent, and they all sacrificed their immortal swords and flew into the sky. The monster with the head of a lion and the body of a wolf on the wall roared loudly, looking fierce.
Lin Jingyu followed at the end of the crowd, looked back in mid-air, and saw endless beast monsters rushing madly, the entire land seemed to be a sea of evil beasts, and there was no trace of popularity.
This catastrophe has finally arrived at the most critical moment!
※※※
After hearing the urgent report that Xiao Yicai and others had rushed back, the audience in the Yuqing Hall of Tongtian Peak in Qingyun Mountain was full, and no one spoke for a while.
Silence shrouded this grand hall, what was supposed to come, finally came.
Reverend Daoxuan stood up slowly, with a serious face, and said slowly: "Everyone, the lives of the people in the world are all here. Right now, the beasts occupy Heyang City, and they will attack Qingyun in a few days. I don't have anything more to say here. , everyone, please go back and rest well, and in the future, you will have a life-and-death battle with the beast monster."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while they all slowly stood up, and gradually there were more whispers in Yuqing Hall, that is, amidst the low noise, everyone walked out one after another.
Reverend Daoxuan turned to Master Puhong and Yun Yilan who were sitting beside him and said: "Please rest, both of you, I have something to discuss with the other leaders of Qingyun Sect."
Both Master Puhong and Yun Yilan stood up, and said in return: "Your Majesty, please go ahead."
Reverend Daoxuan returned a salute, and greeted Xiao Yicai, Xiao Yicai hurriedly followed, followed Reverend Daoxuan into the back hall, somewhere there, other chief elders of Qingyun Sect were already waiting for them.
Lin Jingyu watched them leave, then walked out of the Yuqing Hall alone, walked to the railing outside the hall, leaned on the railing, and saw the sky like ink, dark clouds, not a single ray of light. The mountain wind is like a knife, whining and blowing, and it hurts when the face is scraped.
He stood silently, but in his mind, he suddenly remembered that mysterious note and the inexplicable four characters on it.
backyard fire...
Backyard fire, backyard fire? What backyard fire? Lin Jingyu turned countless thoughts in his mind, and finally, his thoughts slowly converged on one point, which was Xiao Yicai's slightly startled words echoing in his ears: "What's wrong with Houshan, Junior Brother Lin..."
back mountain
Lin Jingyu frowned again, although his eyes were bright, but he shook his head slowly and became confused again. He didn't know how long he stayed in this contemplation, but when he came back to his senses, he found that there was no one around. Lin Jingyu sighed, and slowly walked down the steps.
※※※
Since the appearance of the beast monsters, Qingyunmen has strengthened the guards of Qingyun Mountain with all its strength, especially in the front mountain. No one knows when those countless extremely ferocious beasts will suddenly charge up. However, Qingyun Mountain has always been steep, especially Tongtian Peak, which towers into the sky and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, these are not too big obstacles for successful monks, but for many beast monsters who cannot fly But it is an excellent barrier.
It's just that the beast monsters have always been invincible wherever they go, and there are countless shocking and terrifying news rumors. No one is sure that these beast monsters will not have any unexpected ways to attack, let alone that the legendary beast Even today, no one knows the details of God, which adds to the suspicion and fear of everyone.
Compared with the mountain in front of Qingyunmen, the mountain behind Qingyunmen is almost entirely of cliffs, making it difficult for apes to cross. Even so, Qingyunmen still arranged many disciples to patrol the sky with swords, just in case. The only thing that is very strange is that there are very few Qingyun disciples guarding the Huanyue Cave Mansion, the forbidden area of Qingyunmen, and the ancestor's ancestral hall on the edge of the forbidden area. It seems that Qingyunmen doesn't worry about these two places at all.
At this moment, the dark night had just passed away, and it was just dawn. On Tongtian Peak, which towered into the clouds, between the trails leading to the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall and the forbidden area of Huanyue Cave Mansion, there was a faint mist floating gently with the mountain wind. , Lingering between the pines and cypresses on both sides of the road.
At this moment, even the sound of birdsong could not be heard, and the moist water vapor condensed into crystal dewdrops, which slowly flowed down the edge of the emerald green leaves and dripped quietly.
There is no trace of anyone!
Impressively, a figure appeared on this path, it was Gui Li.
His face was indifferent, he couldn't see any fear and worry in the enemy's situation, and he didn't feel nervous about approaching the forbidden area. He just walked forward slowly with no expression on his face.
He has walked this path before, ten years ago...
Ten years later, it seems that the scenery remains the same, nothing has changed, the pines and cypresses are evergreen, the vegetation is flourishing, and even the underground soil he stepped on seems to be as moist and soft as before.
It's just that it's him who has changed.
The mountain wind passed through the branches of the forest and blew through his clothes, brushing his hair, Xiao Hui lying on his shoulders seemed to be sleepy, his eyes were drooping, and his tail was wrapped around Ghost Li's arm. But Gui Li's eyes were strangely bright.
This path twists and turns, heading towards the deep mountain. The mist gently spreads in front of him and then closes quietly behind him. He walks in this confusion, keeps moving forward, and never looks back.
This goes all the way.
Then we arrived at the three-fork intersection, slightly to the left, there is still a deep path, and the path to the right, behind the woods, faintly reveals the eaves of several palaces.
That's the ancestor's ancestral hall, Gui Li said in his heart. Ten years ago, it was here that he and Lin Jingyu fought against the powerful enemy of the Demon Sect, and it was here that Lu Xueqi confronted him.
But now, he has become a stranger to these years and these old people.
"Shusha, Rusha..."
A thin voice came from the depths of the woods, as if someone had woken up early to clean something, it was soft and melodious, Gui Li stood and listened silently, and suddenly became a little dazed, as if years and years had been spent on this thin "rustling" sound In the middle, quietly echoing ripples, quietly passing away.
He suddenly woke up as if awakened from a dream, and suddenly turned around. The silent atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly, and even the slight rustling sound in the distance seemed to stop and remain silent.
Behind him, at an unknown time, stood a man in black with a black veil covering his face—Mr. Ghost.
Gui Li's pupils contracted slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You're here too."
Mr. Ghost said quietly: "Yes."
Gui Li said: "Why did you come here?"
Mr. Ghost shook his head and said, "I'm here to help you."
Gui Li sneered and said, "What did you say?"
Mr. Gui said lightly: "Don't be suspicious, there are some things you don't know, I came here to tell you. There is no mechanism outside the Huanyue Cave, but there is a superior magic circle inside, which is guarding the spirit of the ancient sword Zhuxian. The source is no different from the Zhuxian Sword Formation. If outsiders want to rush in and touch the magic circle, it is like disturbing the Zhuxian Sword Formation. There is something to say."
Ghost Li's pupils contracted, and in the distant mist, the faint mist seemed to vibrate slightly.
Mr. Ghost took a look at Gui Li, and said: "Originally, it is very difficult for people from our Demon Sect to enter this Huanyue Cave, but you are an exception. Looking at the world, apart from the elders who are the head of the Qingyun Sect, only you can do it." I can go in."
Gui Li was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "What do you mean?"
Mr. Gui said: "This magic circle must use the Taiji Xuanqing Dao Shangqing realm passed down from generation to generation by Qingyunmen as the key, and you can only enter if you grasp the mechanism of the magic circle. Your own."
Gui Li looked deeply at the black figure of this person, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Why did you tell me so much?"
Mr. Ghost smiled slightly, and his black figure appeared to be rootless in the mist, almost like a ghost, and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about it so much, anyway, that's all I said, believe it or not."
※※※
In front of Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, a Daoist Qingyun who was cleaning swept the fallen leaves aside, and when he was about to take a rest, he saw a figure walking slowly on the steps down the mountain, dressed in Qingyun clothes, although a disciple of Qingyun sect There are many, but this person has traveled here countless times in the past ten years, and they have long been familiar with it.
"Senior Brother Lin." Daotong smiled and said to Lin Jingyu who came up with a childish voice, "You came so early! Are you going to the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall in Houshan again?"
Lin Jingyu smiled, nodded and said: "Yes! I didn't sleep well last night, and I always felt bored in my heart, as if there was something wrong, so I came up early."
The Taoist boys who were also cleaning up at the side also came over at this time and gathered together. Another one of them asked: "Senior brother Lin, I heard that the beast monsters have arrived in Heyang City at the foot of the mountain. Will they fight?"
The other Taoist boys next to him immediately started chatting, but they were young after all, and they were not as worried as those famous people. Although they were also a little worried about the beast monsters, they were much more optimistic.
Infected by them, Lin Jingyu's mood improved a lot, and he smiled and said: "Well, the beast monsters are vicious, and they will definitely attack Qingyun."
"What?" It was as if a pot had exploded, and the Daoist boys started making noises one after another.
Lin Jingyu comforted them with a smile, motioned them to be quiet, and then said: "However, there are seniors here on our Qingyun Mountain now. They have strong magic power and profound morals, and they are definitely not afraid of beast monsters. Besides," Lin Jingyu A mysterious expression appeared on Yu's face, and he said, "We still have the invincible Zhuxian Sword Formation! Have you forgotten?"
The Taoist boys were all excited, laughed and said, "Yes! Yes! We have the Zhuxian Sword Formation, so we will definitely win!"
"That is, when the beast monsters come up, let them all die under the sword formation of the ancestor, and avenge the people of the world!"
Listening to these words, Lin Jingyu smiled and nodded frequently. At the end, he told the Taoist boys a few words, and then continued to walk towards the back mountain. After leaving these carefree teenagers, his expression suddenly turned solemn, and he walked silently. After a long while, he suddenly sighed, shook his head, and whispered to himself: "It's better to go to the back mountain quickly. , ask seniors for advice!"
While speaking, he quickened his pace and walked towards the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall on the back mountain of Tongtian Peak. And at the moment when he lowered his head and walked, the misty mist on the back mountain was also layer upon layer, floating gently, like a dream that he never woke up from last night.
※※※
At the three-forked intersection, Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost looked at each other for a long time, a strange light flickered in their eyes, but Mr. Ghost did not back away and looked directly at him.
After a while, Gui Li didn't say a word, turned around suddenly, and walked towards the deep path, Mr. Ghost was behind him, watching him.
But at this moment, suddenly, an old voice came from the small road in the direction of the ancestor's ancestral hall, and from the white mist floating gently in that direction, with indescribable vicissitudes and weariness, an old voice said: "Both, where are you going?"
Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost both trembled, turned around and saw the mist drifting away on the path, and a hunched figure slowly came out. He bent his waist slightly, as if the years had weighed him down and he couldn't breathe, and lines of wrinkles like knife-cuts lay across his face, as if telling the passing of time. Even the broom in his hand looked as dilapidated as its owner.
However, the old man walked slowly, and came to the six feet in front of Gui Li and Mr. Gui, facing these two such figures, when this slightly tired old man raised his head slowly, there was a striking pair of eyes. Clear and sharp eyes focused on the front.
"It's chilly in the morning, and the tired birds haven't woken up yet. Would you two like to drink a bowl of hot tea with this old man?"
