The setting sun and the setting sun hang far away in the sky, behind the tall, steep and rolling mountains, spreading the remaining warmth to the land of southern Xinjiang. The dim light fell on the silent land, the wilderness was desolate, and it was full of chills.
Ghost Li and Jin Ping'er left Fenxiang Valley, stood on the wilderness before the 100,000 mountains, facing the seemingly endless towering mountains and vast land, they seemed to be just two inconspicuous little creatures, Looking up at the huge existence between the sky and the earth, watching the setting sun on the other side of the day, falling little by little behind the boundless mountains, the sky is slowly dimming.
Talking and breathing, and the stars flowing, who else can beat time
It was Ghost Li's suggestion to leave Fenxiang Valley, but that day I happened to hear the conversation between Yun Yilan and the other three in Fenxiang Valley, and I already knew that Fenxiang Valley might have a different method that might awaken the "Eight Ominous Black Fire Formation", which was a great blessing Opportunity, with Ghost Li and Jin Ping'er's original purpose, should also continue to hide and observe carefully. However, Gui Li somehow proposed to leave Fenxiang Valley with an indifferent expression on his face, and Jin Ping'er, who has always been extremely intelligent, didn't seem to think of this, but readily agreed.
After leaving Fenxiang Valley, Gui Li and Jin Ping'er seldom talked, nor did they discuss how to track down the next step, but the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all came south by coincidence, until today they came to the legendary place In front of the terrifying place "One Hundred Thousand Mountains", under the setting sun of the Black Mountain, in the desolate wilderness, the two silently stared at the mountain range.
The wind in the wilderness blows, there is no fragrance of flowers and plants, only the faint stench and roar of unknown places in the distance, in this place, even the wind around you seems fierce.
Jin Ping'er's hair fluttered gently in the wind, and she raised her head slightly, revealing her smooth and slender chin and a fair neck, overlooking the distant mountains. The heights of the black mountain peaks are shrouded in dark gray fog, constantly rolling and rolling. What kind of world is behind these mountains
Others may be guessing, but there seems to be something shining in Jin Ping'er's blurred and complicated eyes.
Unlike the silent and charming woman beside him, even though Gui Li didn't say much, what Gui Li thought in his heart along the way was like a stormy sea, with huge ups and downs.
First of all, the matter of the blood sacrifice touched his heart greatly. Although he has killed a lot himself over the years, and even won the title of the so-called "Master Blood" in the Demon Cult, but for the blood sacrifice a few days ago in Fenxiang Valley What he heard seemed to be an attachment that had been rooted deep in his heart since he was a child, but he subconsciously felt repulsion and disgust. And then, from Jin Ping'er's seemingly inadvertent reminder, he suddenly realized something that he had neglected in the past: in the Demon Cult, even the ghost king may be doing something similar to what Fenxianggu is about to do. things...
Take the blood of countless living people and sacrifice their lives to the gods. Needless to say, these gods are naturally fierce gods and evil gods. As for the blood sacrifice itself, it was a matter of great harm to the peace of heaven and inhumanity, and these things happened beside him.
What kind of world is this
Could it be that everyone in this world is crazy
Or after all, it was said by the coquettish and weird boy I met once: Humans are just a kind of beast after all, and there is no difference.
Gui Li took a deep breath, silently looking at the distant mountains. After hearing the order given to him by the Ghost King from Mr. Ghost, Gui Li had already guessed from the evil beast "Glutton" in the order that the weird boy he had had a double-faced relationship had unexpectedly given the world The beast god who caused unprecedented disasters for the common people.
However, the Beast God wanted to kill all the people in the world, but why he was lenient to him, and the two times were just talking and breaking up, but Gui Li didn't know.
On the chest, there is still a faint warmth, for so many years, this faint warmth has been accompanying Ghost Li, as if it is already a part of his body, even most of the time, Ghost Li has ignored this warmth. However, the trip to Fenxiang Valley a few days ago touched something deep in his heart again. The jade formula lying quietly on his chest may be the key to this trip to southern Xinjiang!
From the conversation between Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce, it clearly explained that Fenxiang Valley lost the essence of all fires, so after losing the volcanic aura accumulated for hundreds of years, it could no longer activate the eight fires. Fierce mysterious fire circle. And with this Xuanhuojian, can we find the secret of the mysterious magic circle
Gui Li remained silent, looking at the setting sun in the distance, the last glimmer of light finally disappeared quietly.
At the height of the black mountain, as the last ray of sunlight dissipated, the once dense black mist seemed to suddenly dissipate and become thinner as if it had been stimulated by something.
Jin Ping'er, who was standing by the side, smiled slightly, turned her head, and said, "Okay, let's go!"
Gui Li glanced at her and said: "The change of the poisonous mist here in Shiwan Dashan has never been reported by anyone in the past, how did you find out?"
Jin Ping'er smiled sweetly, her eyes were infinitely charming, provocative, sly, and said: "This... I just won't tell you, what can you do?"
Gui Li was startled, and saw that under the darkening sky, deep in the mountains, the woman in front of him suddenly seemed to be emitting a bewitching and beautiful light in the dark world, dazzling and dazzling, with her here, it was a surprise Yes, with another strange warmth.
At least, in the darkness in the distance, you don't have to go alone.
The corner of Gui Li's mouth twitched, but he turned his head and said calmly: "Let's go!"
After finishing speaking, Dang went first, Jin Ping'er behind him looked at his figure, smiled slightly, his eyes flickered, and followed him gently.
The two figures one in front and one behind, as well as the monkey lying on the shoulder, and the "squeak" sound from time to time, slowly melted into the darkness and disappeared.

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Palace.
Thousands of miles away from southern Xinjiang, this holy land of immortals has just saved the common people in the world. The chaos brought about by the catastrophe of beasts and monsters was quickly and properly dealt with like after the great war between good and evil ten years ago. Tongtian Peak Most of the places in the world have restored their original quiet and misty scenery, except for a few huge damaged buildings, which still need to be slowly renovated, but no one doubts that they will quickly return to their original appearance.
Among all the huge buildings on Tongtian Peak, the most important and huge one is naturally the main hall "Yuqing Palace". Compared to other buildings and palaces, the damage suffered by Yuqing Palace in that catastrophe is almost negligible. It seems that the ancestors of Qingyunmen have spirits and protected them well.
But at this very moment, when Ghost Li and Jin Ping'er were about to enter the mysterious and strange Hundred Thousand Mountains to track down the fleeing Beast God, an explosion erupted in the sacred Yuqing Palace on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain. A small quarrel.
Qing Yun Sect's first seat of the six branches except Changmen Tongtian Peak, after the catastrophe of the beast monster, it is rare to gather again in the Yuqing Palace, but the most important thing is that they came this time, and they were not summoned by the head teacher Daoxuan Those who come, but the people come by themselves. Above the main hall, the person who entertained the first seats was not Reverend Daoxuan, but Xiao Yicai with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Among the six masters, Qi Hao, the chief of Longshou Peak, and Chu Yuhong, the chief of Chaoyang Peak, are both second-generation disciples in terms of seniority. They are of the same generation as Xiao Yicai, so naturally they are not as straightforward as the other four uncles. For a while, both of them were silent. But the other four veins - Big Bamboo Peak, Small Bamboo Peak, Fenghui Peak, and Luoxia Peak are the first ones, their words are not so polite.
The voice of Tian Buyi, the head of the Big Bamboo Peak, was the loudest among the four heads. He was sitting on the red sandalwood chair, and said to Xiao Yicai coldly: "Mr. Xiao, the six of us came here today. It's been two hours, why doesn't the head brother come out to meet us? Could it be that in his eyes, we old fellows are already unbearable to such an extent?"
Xiao Yicai's expression was extremely embarrassing, with a bitter smile all over his face, he said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Master Tian, you have always been highly respected in our Qingyun sect, and the master has always valued you, this is why everyone knew… "
Tian Buyi didn't wait for him to finish, snorted, and said with a sneer: "It turns out that the sect master valued me so much that he didn't care if I was left here for two hours?"
Xiao Yicai suffocated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Tian, the disciple has already said that Master, the old man did enter the Huanyue Cave Mansion for retreat ten days ago, and did not come out behind closed doors. For the time being, the affairs of the Tongtian Peak will be left to the disciples for the time being." take charge."
The four elders sitting at the bottom snorted coldly at the same time, obviously they didn't believe Xiao Yicai's words. Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak who was sitting on the side said coldly: "Nephew Xiao, although I have been in Xiaozhu Peak for the past ten days, I have heard several times that the brother in charge is acting strangely on Tongtian Peak, what's more, A few days ago, in the middle of the night a few days ago, it was rumored that the senior brother who was in charge of the sect looked crazy and shouted at the sky at the top of the Yuqing Palace, is there such a thing?"
Xiao Yicai immediately shook his head and said: "There is absolutely no such thing, there is absolutely no such thing, Uncle Shuiyue must have misheard, Master, he is a master of Taoism, the leader of the righteous way in the world, how can he do it This crazy and unbearable thing?"
The four elders looked at each other for the first time, and they all saw that the others were very suspicious of Xiao Yicai's words. Sitting next to the head seat of Fenghui Peak, the Tianri Taoist priest who succeeded Tianyun Taoist as the head seat of Luoxia Peak, looked thin and thin, wearing a Taoist robe, and frowned: "Mr. A senior uncle is embarrassing you, a senior nephew, because the head senior is the core of my Qingyun sect. If something happens to him, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of my Qingyun. That's why we have to come up and ask you. Don't take it to heart."
At this moment, the first seats of the Six Meridians sat down, the middle seat originally belonged to Master Daoxuan, naturally there was no one sitting there, Xiao Yicai's status and seniority were lower than those of the senior uncles, so he could only stand aside, with a wry smile at this moment, he said: " Master uncles, my disciples dare not hold grudges in my heart no matter what, but, but Master, the old man has indeed gone to seclusion, and he has a strict order not to disturb, it is not Yicai deliberately preventing the master uncles from meeting the master."
Tian Buyi snorted angrily, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, these days, the whole Qingyun sect has spread the rumors that the dignified sect's behavior is extremely weird, sometimes crazy, sometimes dazed on Tongtian Peak all day long, if the sect master Senior brother, the old man is in poor health, we as juniors should think of ways to treat him anyway, at least visit him; if he is safe and sound, why would he not come out to see us."
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice, and said angrily: "Xiao Yicai, tell me the truth, what happened to the head brother?"
Xiao Yicai was shocked, as if he was startled by Tian Buyi's loud voice, but he still had a wry smile on his face and remained silent.
Uncle Zeng, the head of Fenghui Peak who had been sitting by the side and didn't say much, glanced at Xiao Yicai, frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's do this! Nephew Xiao, we old men also know that you have always respected Master and dare not disobey him." Ni, we don't make it difficult for you. Now as long as you take us to the place where the head brother is retreating, we will greet the head brother on our own, what do you think?"
Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment, did not speak, but thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Uncle Zeng turned his head and glanced at the people behind him, Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and others nodded slowly.
Uncle Zeng coughed, stood up slowly, and said in a calm voice, "Nephew Xiao, in fact, we only care about the senior brother who is the head of the sect. We have always respected the senior brother and the old man very much. Everyone in the sect knows it. As long as we see the senior brother in charge and know that he is in good health, we will be relieved, right? By the way, I heard that the senior brother in charge has recently retreated. Three places with Huanyue Cave, but I don't know him..."
Uncle Zeng often spoke to the end, his voice gradually slowed down, but his eyes were looking at Xiao Yicai.
Xiao Yicai's complexion changed several times, and after a while, he bowed his head slightly to Zeng Shuchang's people, and said: "Master, the old man has often blamed himself because of the many changes in Qingyun in recent years, and he often worships the ancestors of the past generations at the ancestor's ancestral hall."
Uncle Zeng frowned, nodded, let alone said anything, and walked towards the back hall of Yuqing Hall first. Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and Taoist Tianri also followed, Qi Hao and Chu Yuhong stood up slowly, and when they walked past Xiao Yicai, Qihao also had a wry smile on his face, and reached out and patted Xiao Yicai's shoulder lightly , Xiao Yicai sighed, shook his head and remained silent.

The patriarch's ancestral hall at the back of Qingyun Mountain is still hidden in the deep forest, with only a little cornice revealed between the green leaves and treetops. Maybe it is really the protection of the ancestors of Qingyunmen! The two soul-stirring catastrophes that Qingyunmen experienced in the past ten years did not damage this place.
As in the past, from a distance, there are faint lights of incense flashing in the dark ancestral hall, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
A group of people quickly walked from Yuqing Hall to the back mountain, and arrived at the three-way intersection in front of the ancestor's ancestral hall. Suddenly, Qi Hao, who was walking behind, let out a "Huh", with a bit of surprise in his tone, and took a few steps forward. Everyone followed his gaze, only to see a young man standing quietly in front of the ancestral hall of the ancestor that gradually appeared, motionless, but his eyes were looking into the depths of the ancestral hall, with his back to Qihao and the others.
Qi Hao frowned and called out, "Is it Junior Brother Lin?"
The young man was startled, and when he turned around, it was Lin Jingyu.
Lin Jingyu suddenly saw Qi Hao, and his face flashed with joy, but then saw Qi Hao followed by many people, and among them were all the leaders of Qingyun sect, he couldn't help being startled, his face showed surprise look.
"Senior brother Qi, why are you here... and all the senior uncles and senior brothers, why are you all here?"
Qi Hao approached Lin Jingyu, smiled and said: "I came all the way just now, I was wondering if I could see you here, we two brothers haven't seen each other for many days!"
Lin Jingyu was obviously very happy to see Qi Hao, and smiled and said: "Yes! I miss senior brother too. By the way," he looked at the others, and asked Qi Hao in a low voice: "Senior brother, you and these few Why did the first senior uncle and senior brother come here together?"
Qi Hao glanced at the ancestral hall behind Lin Jingyu, frowned, and said, "Junior brother Lin, that... well, Master Master, is he in the ancestral hall?" At that time, he did not deliberately lower his voice, but seemed to let the people behind him hear him.
The smile on Lin Jingyu's face also slowly disappeared, apparently he also found something strange, but facing the respected senior uncles and senior brothers, he still said honestly: "The Master Master is in the ancestral hall."
There was a slight commotion behind Qi Hao, and it soon calmed down again. Afterwards, Uncle Zeng said in a flat and slightly old voice: "Senior brother, what is he doing inside? Is it closed?"
Lin Jingyu seemed to be taken aback, and said: "Retreat, what kind of retreat?"
Qi Hao's complexion changed, and Tian Buyi took a step forward under the changed complexion, but was stopped by Zeng Shuchang immediately. Uncle Zeng played tricks on Tian Buyi, shook his head, and then glanced at Qi Hao.
Qi Hao understood, frowned and asked Lin Jingyu: "Junior brother Lin, um, have you been on Tongtian Peak all this time?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and said, "Not bad."
Qi Hao pondered for a while, as if he was considering his words, and then slowly said: "Did you see... um, or heard of something strange on this Tongtian Peak?"
Lin Jingyu thought for a while, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, his eyes gradually brightened, but his complexion did not change much, and he replied honestly: "Brother, although I have been on Tongtian Peak all the time, the For the past few days, I have almost been mourning for my seniors in this ancestral hall of the ancestors, so I have not heard of anything outside." He paused, looked at Qi Hao, and said: "Brother, did something happen? ?"
Qihao choked for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "No, nothing happened. By the way, why are you standing here in broad daylight? Aren't you going to keep watch in the ancestral hall?"
Lin Jingyu glanced into the dark depths of the ancestor's ancestral hall, and said: "It was the head teacher who asked me to stand here! Every time he came, he let me stand outside alone, and then he entered the ancestral hall alone .”
As soon as these words came out, Zeng Shuchang and the others changed their expressions slightly, Qi Hao also frowned, and said: "The master teacher is still inside now?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and said: "Yes, he is inside the ancestral hall."
Qi Hao nodded, took a few steps back, and stopped talking.
Zeng Shuchang, Tian Buyi and others looked at each other, but no one took any action for a while.
After a while, Tian Buyi snorted, walked out with big strides, and came to the gate of the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall, but did not go up the steps, and said loudly under the stone steps: "Brother Daoxuan, I am Tian Buyi, and there are Shuiyue, Tianri, Zeng Shuchang and the other two chief nephews came to see you together. Are you there?"
His voice was loud and full of energy, and he immediately spread it in the forest. Looking vaguely, it seemed that even the little incense in the dark place deep in the ancestral hall suddenly lit up, and then slowly returned to normal.
After a while, a voice came from the darkness, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
Tian Buyi and the other elders were startled for the first time. The voice was extremely cold, and there was a bit of hostility. It didn't have the slightest trace of righteousness from Taoist Daoxuan back then, but they were all in harmony with Daoxuan. Reverend Xuan has known people for hundreds of years, once they hear the voice, they can tell that it is indeed Reverend Daoxuan's voice.
This Taoist immortal who once ruled the righteous way in the world, did something really happen to him
Thinking of this, the expressions of Tian Buyi and others changed.
Tian Buyi coughed, took a deep breath, and said loudly again: "Brother, we heard that you have been ill recently, so we came to visit you specially, and please allow us to come in and see you."
Reverend Daoxuan's voice was silent for a moment, and when he reappeared, he sneered, chilling to the bone: "See me? Seeing me, do you need the head of the Six Meridians to come over together? I think you are trying to force the palace and spy on me, the master teacher position!"
As soon as these words came out, it was almost like a thunderbolt out of thin air, everyone changed color, even Tian Buyi couldn't help but took a few steps back, with a look of astonishment and surprise. Turning his head to look, he saw that even Shuiyue and the others, who had always been calm and indifferent in the past, had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Zeng Shuchang's eyes were filled with worry, he took a step forward, and said in a loud voice: "Senior brother, where did you start with your words? Those of us who have been brothers and sisters have never thought of this for hundreds of years, never before. , not now, and there will be none in the future. When I came here recently, I only cared about whether my brother is in good health.
Reverend Daoxuan suddenly raised his voice, and said with a sneer, "Uncle Zeng, you have always been the most scheming of the six masters. You had already been aware of Longshoufeng Cangsong's scheme that day, but you kept silent. Could it be that you thought I was Do not you know?"
Zeng Shuchang's face changed drastically, Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue, Taoist Tianri and others also turned around in astonishment, and looked at Zeng Shuchang.
Master Shuiyue stared at Zeng Shuchang, and said for a while, "Is this really true?"
Uncle Zeng smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Where did this start?"
Master Shuiyue was still waiting to ask, when suddenly the countless dim incense lights in the ancestor's ancestral hall lit up without wind, and he couldn't see clearly in the dark, but for some reason, it made people feel that there was something strange roaring in the depths of the darkness.
Almost at the same time, Master Daoxuan's voice came again, but the object he was referring to had shifted from Zeng Shuchang to Master Shuiyue: "Shuiyue, what are you pretending again, do you think you are aloof? Do you really look awe-inspiring?" His voice was weird, a little shrill, mixed with a little hoarseness, and he said impressively: "When Wan Jian fell into the ancestral hall of the ancestral ancestors, he was swept away and died, and finally died of evil spirits and heretics. The hand, it is all started by you, and it is all thanks to you! Hahahahaha... "
At the end, Daoxuan Daoxuan's voice seemed to be uncontrollable, and he laughed wildly, not to mention the slightest trace of immortality. However, at this moment, no one paid attention to him anymore, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang When everyone turned pale, they looked at Shuiyue with a pale face in astonishment, and were speechless for a long while.
These few short words were really too shocking, Qi Hao and other junior disciples were dumbfounded, while Master Shuiyue was trembling all over at this moment, but for some reason, there was an expression in her eyes that had never been seen before. Seeing the almost fanatical scorching eyes, he took a few steps forward, as if he didn't care about anything else, and shouted loudly into the ancestral hall: "You, what are you talking about? Could it be, could it be that Senior Brother Wan, he, he is still alive..."
The words awakened everyone, Tian Buyi waited to react almost at the same time, all of them looked excited, and then asked deep in the ancestral hall.
But Master Daoxuan's conceited laughter became more and more insane, reverberating in the sky above the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall in Qingyun Mountain, and did not dissipate for a long time.
