At the foot of Wudang Mountain, Xianmen Hall.

It is said to be a 'temple', but in fact there is only an old statue and a shabby brick house.

The tasks he was responsible for were very simple, including cleaning the mountain gate archway and the stone steps going up the mountain, and there were no other tasks besides that.

The people who originally lived here were several Taoist Taoists whose Taoist foundations were almost withered. Because of this blessing, they were able to move to other palaces and enjoy their old age in peace.

Only Zhao Yanlong was left and became the master of the Immortal Gate Hall.

The old casual emotion of the elder of the Demon-Conquering Hall can now be regarded as a prophecy.

There is a newly opened path among the overgrown grass, and two wooden doors with brand-new portraits of the door gods stand in the forest.

Peach charms are hung under the snow-covered eaves, and cooking smoke is planted on them.

In the freezing cold wind, Zhao Yanlong was sweating profusely. His hair that had been neatly combed in the past slipped out of the Taoist crown and hung on both sides of his forehead.

The remote and quiet environment made the footsteps approaching outside the door appear particularly clear.

Zhao Yanlong, who was looking after the fire in the mud stove, turned around and saw that the other party was completely beard and tail, and his hanging heart finally settled.

"I'm home."

"came back."

Chen Qisheng, who had returned from Suzhou Mansion, was standing outside the door wearing a simple Taoist robe.

The sharp flying sword was missing from his back, and the elixir and talisman were missing from his sleeves, but his hands were not empty.

This time when he went down the mountain to perform a mission, Zhao Yanlong asked him to remember to bring some Suzhou specialties back to the mountain.

Suzhou Prefecture is very prosperous, and there are so many good things that you can’t even count them.

But what Chen Qisheng brought back were two bottles of wine that violated the rules of the family.

"Put your things down quickly and get ready to eat."

Zhao Yanlong pointed to the casserole stewing on the stove, raised his chin, and said with a proud smile: "The good stuff I bought from the Zao Temple is not comparable to the shabby stuff prepared by Nong Xu."

The familiar words bring back memories of the past.

Chen Qisheng nodded and smiled: "Okay."

A wooden table and two benches.

The stew in the casserole was steaming hot, but it couldn't stop the falling fine snowflakes.

"Don't dislike it. The environment here can only be like this for the time being. You can eat as much as you want. When there is a chance in the future, my disciple will definitely respect you."

Zhao Yanlong lit three sticks of incense and offered them to the altar, placed a bowl of meat and a bottle of wine, bowed, then turned around and walked into the courtyard and sat on a bench.

"eat!"

The two brothers raised their chopsticks at the same time and quickly ate all the stew in the casserole.

No one spoke during the whole process, only the snowflakes falling overhead became bigger and bigger.

"Why?"

Chen Qisheng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and finally asked.

"During the New Year's Eve ceremony, I sat with a group of fellow disciples who were not doing well and listened to their complaints. Some people said that the situation at the foot of the mountain is becoming more and more tense, and there are more and more bloody conflicts. I don’t know how many people will die in the future.”

Zhao Yanlong buried his head and stared at the empty tea cup in front of him, and said slowly: "I kept an eye out and asked people to inquire around and collect intelligence everywhere. In the end, I found that the truth was far more serious than what that person said."

"In the imperial court, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Law, and the military were all working together, and even the royal family was willing to take sides. Wu Xu had been completely isolated. At the local level, there were constant conflicts. Wu Xu suffered a loss on the stage. He was ruthless in the audience, and the gangs under his command kept looking for excuses to provoke and retaliate. "

"You should have been able to tell when you went to Suzhou this time. Wu Xu's people were very heavy-handed, and the excuses they used were extremely ridiculous. Moreover, what happened at Qiu Yuguan is no longer an accident, but the norm that can be seen everywhere. Wu Xu The order has been rampant for hundreds of years, and both hands are stained with the blood of various families. With the accumulation of old and new hatreds, sooner or later a war will break out across the entire empire. "

"Our Wudang is now being praised as the only 'Taoist ancestral court'. I think the elders should also understand the motives behind it. But what's the use of understanding it? Is it possible for Wudang to ignore the requests for help from those small sects and small temples? ?impossible."

"The Ancestral Court of the Taoist Sect is where the faith of Wudang disciples lies, and where the Taoist heart of the old school of Taoism lies. If Wudang retreats at this time, the mountain gate will collapse. Right now we are already riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off, and the Demon-Conquering Palace is the sharp edge of Wudang's sword, and the war is going on. , the first one is a Taoist elite like you, junior brother, of course, sooner or later it will be my turn."

"so."

Zhao Yanlong paused for a moment, "I tried to get you and me out of the Demon Subduing Hall. Junior brother, I made the decision on my own this time. If you want to scold me,"

"Senior brother, what I'm asking about is not this matter."

A hand with clear joints reached into Zhao Yanlong's lowered gaze, and the slanted mouth of the bottle filled the empty teacup with wine.

"What I want to ask is, why are those people willing to help us? What price did you pay?"

His swaying eyes looked at the ripples in the cup.

Zhao Yanlong suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Qisheng: "Junior brother, are you really not angry with me?"

"To have a senior brother like you who cares about me and remembers me is as good as a dream to me. I'm not angry, I'm just afraid that I'll wake up from the dream."

Chen Qisheng stood up, picked up the teacup with both hands and held it in front of Zhao Yanlong, with a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Senior brother, I toast you this glass of wine."

From when Xuanyue visited Wudang Mountain today, in Zhao Yanlong's eyes, his junior brother has always been cold and indifferent to everything. He only likes to practice and practice non-stop.

The posture of forgetting all sleep and food was like someone chasing him with a knife behind him.

In his memory since childhood, Zhao Yanlong has only seen a smile like today twice.

One time is now, and the other time is in the confinement room of Xuanyue Temple.

Time has passed, and the only thing that remains the same is this pot of meat stewed by myself.

"It seems that you really like eating meat. He only smiles so happily every time when he sees meat. What kind of Taoist priest are you?"

Originally, Zhao Yanlong was prepared to be scolded, and even thought that the two brothers might become strangers from now on.

Even if Chen Qisheng wanted to kill him, Zhao Yanlong thought it was reasonable.

After all, what he did was equivalent to personally cutting off Chen Qisheng's bright future.

But the glass of wine in front of him was clearly not drunk yet, but it already made Zhao Yanlong feel hot in his heart and full of drunkenness.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I have nothing but nothing left in my sleeves. I don't have anything worthy of others' plots."

Zhao Yanlong took the wine glass and held it in his hands, and said with a smile: "At most, I will get a bad reputation. But people like me don't have a good reputation in the mountains, so this time not only did I not lose money, but I made a lot of money!"

Chen Qisheng went to answer the question and looked at Zhao Yanlong with calm eyes.

"What's your expression like? Okay, I just helped others with some elixir business, it's not a big deal."

Chen Qisheng frowned: "Is it in your name?"

"Yeah." Zhao Yanlong took a sip of wine and said with a loud voice.

"Selling pills is a taboo in the family, it will kill people!"

Zhao Yanlong said in a relaxed tone: "There are many people on this mountain who do this, and no one will care about it."

"That was before. If the major orders really started to fight, the direction of the wind would change immediately, and the sect would definitely start to liquidate it by then!"

"We'll wait until that day comes. There's no end to our destiny. The worst we can do is to be expelled from Wudang."

Zhao Yanlong raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "The matter has been done, you don't have to worry anymore. Even in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult than before. We senior brothers will have to endure it."

"Senior brother, do you want to betray Wudang?"

Chen Qisheng was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked a shocking question.

Zhao Yanlong's hand that went to pick up the wine bottle suddenly shook, and he shouted angrily at the top of his voice: "Master Dao, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

The reason why Chen Qisheng asked this suddenly was because the Zhao Yanlong in front of him was completely different from the Zhao Yanlong he would get to know in the future.

In the dream, Zhao Yanlong could disregard his reputation and even end his own path to Taoism in order to save his life.

But in this world, after the fall of Wudang, he was willing to become a "living grave" that could be dug up at any time, keeping the heroic souls of many brothers in his cave.

Such a move is tantamount to carrying a heavy mountain on your back all day long.

In order to maintain the operation of the cave, Zhao Yanlong had to take huge risks to join Longhu Mountain, racking his brains to fight for all available resources.

Chen Qisheng couldn't figure out what happened to cause Zhao Yanlong's personality to change so much.

or.

In this dream, Zhao Yanlong was not playing himself at all?

Chen Qisheng was silent for a moment, then asked: "Senior brother, why were you determined to join Wudang in the first place?"

"What's wrong with you? Why do you keep asking these strange questions?"

Zhao Yanlong frowned, but still answered truthfully: "Because I was born in the basic base of Wudang, and our Xuanyue Temple is one of the branches of Wudang. If I don't join Wudang, then where can I go?"

Before Chen Qisheng could continue to speak, the tokens around their waists trembled at the same time.

The light projected out, interweaving a decree descending from the top of Tianzhu Peak.

The content written in cinnabar contains a sense of solemnity and chilling.

[The Chuwumen of Shu were destroyed]

Chen Qisheng's eyes suddenly froze when he saw the first line.

The division of power in the world has begun.

"Roar!"

Amidst the shrill roar, a huge wing crashed into the sea.

The dark sea water is dyed with a layer of dark red, making people inside it feel more depressed and heavy.

Zou Sijiu turned over and fell back onto his ship. Traces of corrosion could be seen everywhere on the red armor on his body. The wound on his chest from his shoulder to his waist was even more horrifying. The armor at the crack appeared to be melted and could not be healed. .

The surging waves rocked the boat left and right, and Zou Sijiu's feet were like deep pits. His figure remained motionless, looking coldly ahead.

A huge snake stood in the sea. The part of its body that poked out of the sea was dozens of feet long. Zou Sijiu chopped off one of the two pairs of wings on its back. It was dripping with blood, but its aura became more and more ferocious.

One side has more "backdoors" in its hands, and the other side has Mo Jia assisting them.

This fight between Yin Yang and Xu Si seems to be evenly matched for the time being.

But Zou Sijiu and Gongsun Yao both knew that it was impossible for both parties to give up today.

Because the fluctuations emitted by the dream sea beast were getting stronger and stronger, the crackling sound like the cracking of stone flakes kept ringing in their ears.

This shows that the dream cycle in Zhao Yanlong's cave has reached its final climax.

By the time the dream ends, the entire sea beast will collapse completely.

By then, Zhao Yanlong and everything about Wudang in his memory will disappear and cease to exist.

"Zou Sijiu, if you pull out Chen Qisheng's consciousness now and hand over the cave to me, the East Palace can still give you a way to survive. Otherwise, from now on, there will be no place for you in the Yin and Yang sequence!"

Gongsun Yao's impatient roar resounded throughout the sea area, and his twisting body set off an even more violent wave, sweeping towards all directions.

But such a shocking scene was suddenly interrupted by an extremely rude yell.

"Fuck you, old bastard, and give me a way to survive. There's no way you can survive today!"

Zou Sijiu lowered his head and stroked the armor on his body, his eyes twitching with distress.

"How dare you hit my wife?"

Zheng!

Zou Sijiu held the spear with both hands, frowned angrily, and his aura became more and more powerful. He soared into the sky and broke the rain clouds above his head into a huge hole.

"Yin Yang Alchemist, Master of Huangliang"

The majestic chanting sound was like rolling thunder, Gongsun Yao's snake body danced, and he looked up to the sky and roared furiously.

"If you are stubborn, I will swallow your life today and destroy your luck!"

"Yin Yang Alchemist, Master of Huangliang"

With the same opening words, invisible power fills the sea. Amidst the violent wind and waves, all kinds of breathtaking spectacles came one after another.

"My name is Gongsun Yao, and in the name of Zhoudie in the Yin and Yang order, I build the four seas and eight wastelands, attracting the mountains and seas and dreaming beasts!"

A bright moon rose in the deep sea, and the wild mountains rising from the sky appeared behind Gongsun Yao. The ferocious snake body became larger and larger, with thick scales and a single horn sticking out of its head.

"My name is Zou Sijiu, and in the name of Zhoudie of the Fourth Village in the Yin and Yang sequence, I will burn the back door and destroy all directions!"

On the deck, the spear in Zou Sijiu's hand emitted lava red light, and slowly turned into red molten iron, condensing on his fists.

"Wuxu Su Ce, come!"

With a deafening roar, Zou Sijiu's mouth and nose immediately overflowed with scarlet blood, his eyes tightened and his pupils spread instantly, and a dazzling light appeared in his eyes!

Boom!

The ship's draft suddenly sank, and Zou Sijiu's figure burst out of the air, exploding with a series of piercing explosions!

"die!"

Gongsun Yao roared loudly, and the sea water rolled back like a sky rising. The single horn on his forehead was wrapped with blue electric light, which shot out in an instant.

boom!

The wall of water that stretched between the sky and the earth suddenly exploded, and heavy rain poured down, pounding the sea surface as if it were boiling.

The thick lightning hit the fist covered with lava's red light, unable to stop it at all, and was shattered and scattered.

"Master Zou, I will chop you up today!"

Zou Sijiu's whole body was wrapped with tiny arcs of electricity, and the cold light illuminated the intense ferocity in his eyes.

Gongsun Yao, who was horrified, couldn't understand at all when he had beaten his wife, so that he could let her fight with him so fiercely and without fear of death.

Roar!

The snake's mouth opened angrily, and its pale fangs were as sharp as knives, intent on piercing the enemy's body.

Zou Sijiu swung his body and smashed the fang in half with one punch. He picked up half of the broken fang with his backhand and stabbed it into the snake's body.

The armor on his body spread out, and amidst the strong wind, Zou Sijiu's body suddenly fell, dragging the fang and cutting open the skin and flesh.

I said I would chop you up, Gongsun Yao.

Master Zou, I must do it!
