Turned a corner while ascending

The Qiongming Realm is a complete continent, with two protruding sharp corners at the southernmost point, the southernmost part of Daze to the west, and the Wuzheng Mountains among the Eight Great Divine Mountains to the east.

The two sharp corners are adjacent to the endless sea. As for what is beyond the sea, no one knows.

Compared with Yunliu Mountain and Quting Mountain, the Wuzheng Mountain Range is smaller, and there are no first-rank sects stationed there. In addition to three second-rank sects, there are many fourth-rank sects and third-rank sects mixed in.

The Jiangling Sect of the third-rank sect is one of them.

Zongmen's order is directly related to high-ranking monks. Third-rank Zongmen requires at least three high-ranking monks to sit in the town, which may be one head and two elders.

The head of the Jiangling Sect is surnamed Yuan, and the head of this generation is Jifu Daozong, the peak of the fifth rank, and gave birth to a son named Yuan Hongyi.

This son is used to going smoothly, making small mistakes but not big ones, plus he has good aptitude, so he is very much loved by Jifu Daozong.

So this time the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm survived and came back, and after learning that his son had accidentally offended Tianxuanzong, Jifu Daozong took an elder and went to Tianxuanzong to make amends in person, leaving another elder in the sect As for Yuan Hongyi, Jifu Daozong did not dare to take him with him, so he was detained at home on the grounds of being seriously injured.

Yuan Hongyi stayed at home for nearly a year, and his hair had grown. All kinds of things in the secret land of the Northern Wilderness gradually faded away, and his courage returned one after another, and he especially wanted to go out for a stroll.

Especially when I heard that Fei Yuzong Gao Yuanyu returned from the Qianlong Society and took in a few disciples with good aptitude, especially one named Tan Xiaoshu, with high aptitude, he is considered a genius that everyone is vying for in the third-rank sect figure.

But the elders in the door strictly followed the orders left by the head of the door, and they really treated him strictly. They couldn't go out even a single step. Yuan Hongyi couldn't help it. Recently, he was really free, so he could only pass the time with spirit wine.

After drinking too much spirit wine, there is a sense of trance that is smoky and happy.

Yuan Hongyi's eyes were blindfolded, and there was a beautiful woman in his eyes, well, it seemed a bit unfamiliar, but forget it, don't care.

He stretched out his arms and took the woman into his arms, and saw the woman's lips open and close, and her big sparkling eyes were full of admiration.

"Young Sect Master, Bizi has heard the story of your great power in the northern wilderness, but I don't know if it is true or not. Can you tell me about it?"

"Northern Wilderness Secret Realm, hahaha what is there to talk about." Yuan Hongyi drank another full cup and boasted, "Let me tell you, those ancient beast races are really difficult to deal with..."

"That's right, I heard that there is also a Sunburnt Spirit Tree, what does that look like?"

"It's gold, gold and red, nothing unusual."

"Then I heard that there is another magic weapon in the trunk?"

"A magic weapon? What a magic weapon, it's just a dead egg, that Bai Zhizhuo looks like he's holding a treasure." Yuan Hongyi narrowed his eyes, and took another sip of his wine.

"Bai Zhizhuo? Is the egg in Bai Zhizhuo's hands?" the maid asked anxiously.

"Well, isn't it?" Yuan Hongyi tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's just a dead egg. I am concerned about what to do with that." After he finished speaking, he drank the spirit wine in his hand, waved his arm, Pushing away the beautiful woman in the middle, she muttered, "Tell me what the young master doesn't like to hear. Come on, let's change to serve you."

The beautiful woman was pushed to the ground unexpectedly, got up in fear, lowered her head to hide the strange look in her eyes, and hurried out the door.

It wasn't until the woman's figure disappeared that Yuan Hongyi's squinted eyes widened, and cold sweat flowed down from the corners of his forehead. He reached into his arms with trembling hands, and took out a hot The magic talisman murmured: "Bai Zhizhuo, don't blame me, what I'm telling is the truth."

Bai Zhizhuo had no idea that the behavior of the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm had been truly exposed.

From Liufeng Town in Tianye Mountain to Daze, the shortest distance is across Youji Mountain and Yunliu Mountain, all the way to the west.

Ye Nian took them to Xizhou, made a big circle, and entered Daze from Dongzhou.

"A major event happened in Yunliu Mountain recently, and Zhao Xinzong banned it for thousands of miles. In order to avoid misunderstanding, we should avoid it."

At this time, Ye Nian, Jin Que, and Bai Zhizhuo shared one flying sword, and the other seven third-rank disciples of Kunyuan Sword Sect crowded on the other.

The flying sword is the standard equipment for the core disciples of Kunyuan Sword Sect. It is made of innate fine iron, and it is not a magic weapon of fate. If Jin is lucky enough to enter the inner sect, then he will also get one.

Tangtang, a second-generation Dharma cultivator, unexpectedly ran to join the Sword Cultivation Base Camp for some reason.

However, Jin seriously doubted whether he had lost his mind at the time. He had a talent for learning swords. At the beginning, he did a cheat because he knew the way of swords practiced by Ye Nian himself. If he was really asked to learn swordsmanship Isn't it embarrassing.

However, Bai Zhizhuo is a sword wielder, a swordsman, but he taught him the supreme Taoism of Faxiu... This is another bad debt.

The flying sword shuttled through the clouds very fast, Bai Zhizhuo sat alone at the end of the sword, and because Ye Nian liked Jin Que so much, the two sat face to face, and Ye Nian taught him the basics of sword cultivation.

He is the first disciple of Kunyuan Jianmen's generation. In the eyes of others, this is exercising the responsibility of a senior brother. In Jin Que's view, this behavior is a waste of time...

He couldn't say it clearly, so he had to close his eyes and pretend to be educated, and made up his mind to find a small place to huddle honestly after entering the Kunyuan Sword Gate, and resolutely refused to enter the inner gate!

However, Jin and Bai Zhizhuo returned to their original appearance, but Jin was okay to say that he still looks like a teenager, and his voice has not changed. That small appearance really makes people feel itchy and want to pinch it.

Bai Zhizhuo originally had a very outstanding face, but with the white clothes, white boots and white hairband, together with the golden light shining through the clouds, he looked like a statue of heaven and earth, which was unforgettable to see.

While Ye Nian was teaching the method, he looked at the other juniors on the other flying sword, peeking at Bai Zhizhuo at the end of the sword from time to time, with a corner of his mouth, he made a secret pinch, and the flying sword under his feet flew out with a whoosh. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Their destination was heading south from Shanqian Town, Dongzhou, and they had just entered a mountain village not far from Daze.

There is a branch of Yunliu Mountain here, and it is also a towering mountain surrounded by mountains.

There is a huge waterfall near the Badashen Mountain in the far west. The waterfall falls straight down without any twists and turns. It is about ten feet high and three feet wide. There is a large pool at the bottom, which is the source of the nearby river. The water flows from the bottom, along the crevices of the rocks all the way to the south, and then emerges as delicious and sweet spring water.

The spring water was fed by countless hollow moso bamboos one after another, and led directly to a mountain village, where it was taken by the villagers' skillful hands and made into various tea drinks and delicacies to receive guests from afar.

This guest is very honorable, he is the Master Cultivator from the Eight Great God Mountains.

"Prince Ye, it's great that you are back. Last night, another wind beast came to cause trouble and captured a slave in my village to the mountain." The village head came out to greet him, called Kui. Sheng, about 40 years old, is really tall and powerful, very strong, and his energy and blood are exuberant, I am afraid that he has cultivated eight acupoints during the stage of building a platform.

"Don't panic, I will invite a fellow Taoist to help me this time, and this time I will be able to wipe out the wind beast in one fell swoop." Ye Nian comforted.

"Ah? That's great. Mr. Ye is really a good man, with great virtue! Please come with me quickly, the slave women in the village have prepared meals and wait for the elders." Kuisheng greeted quickly.

Jin followed Ye Nian and walked along the mountain road to the village.

Unlike Ye Nian who was only thinking about how to get rid of the wind beasts, Jin observed the mountain village very carefully.

From the perspective of the flying sword, the mountain village is really a mountain village, surrounded by mountains on all sides, only one trail connects to the outside world, and the houses are arranged in clusters. The overall size is similar to Shanqian Town, with 200 square meters. The look of a multi-family home.

There are also mountains and waters in the village, and the mountain walls are as flat as a mirror, like a huge shadow wall, with a tall human image painted on it.

The image of this human race is a little strange. Although it looks like a human, it has two heads and eight arms. The whole body is only surrounded by a circle of animal skin. It is still painted, which vividly expresses the faces of the two heads. One is ugly, a mercy.

Each of the eight arms holds a weapon, and there are four beasts around the feet, a bird with nine heads; a snake with three legs and horns; One is similar to an ape, but has wings on its back.

These four beasts are different from the colored paintings of the characters, they are all as black as ink, no matter what shape they are, each of them must have two eyes staring closely at everyone who comes to the village, looking a little fierce.

"This is the beast king of the ancient beast clan."

Seeing that Jin had been looking at the mural, Ye Nian explained: "The entire Daze is the second great reincarnation of the ancient beast clan. Although there are very few ancient beast clans left, this place still retains people who believe in beast gods." According to tradition, the human race living here also worships beast gods, and it is said that they can be protected by them."

"Yes, our entire village believes in the Beast God, and the Beast God will bless the people in our village with good health and a long life." Kuisheng also answered the conversation.

"Kuisheng, there's no need to entertain, we should deal with the wind beast as soon as possible." Ye Nian said again.

"No, no, no, a few immortal elders took the trouble to help us get rid of the big enemy. If it's not good for us to entertain, the villagers will blame me for not doing things well, and the beast god will be unhappy." Kuisheng said anxiously.

Jin was innocent and innocent: "Is that so, but this time the Beast God seems to have missed the appointment, even the little Feng Sheng Beast can't resist, I'm afraid it won't jump out and blame you."

Kuisheng had nothing to say, so he could only smile awkwardly. He was also smart, knowing that Ye Nian was in the leading position among the group of people, so he looked at Ye Nian pitifully.

"Then go and rest first, so that everyone can recover their spiritual power." Ye Nian finally said.

Bai Zhizhuo also looked at the huge painted painting, always feeling a little evil, not like the righteous way.

His five senses are much sharper than Jin's, especially his soul being blessed by the Nascent Soul is a bit more terrifying than Ye Nian. At this time, when he gradually walked into the village, he always felt that there was something strange in the seemingly peaceful and peaceful village.

And there seemed to be many pairs of eyes around them, staring at them tightly.

This look is greedy, evil, and there are many obvious malice.

Bai Zhizhuo turned his head to look at the side of the road, where the most obvious gaze was staring at them.

It was a ragged, almost naked old man.

Gray-haired and thin, he seemed to be resting on the side of the road, with a large bundle of firewood at his feet.

Seeing Bai Zhizhuo looking over, the old man suddenly stretched out a hand, pointed at him with dry and thin fingers, then pointed at himself, then grinned, showing a smug smile.

What does this mean, proud?What is he proud of?

Bai Zhizhuo watched as the old man quickly put the firewood on his back, turned into a small path and disappeared, and no one seemed to notice the brief exchange between the two just now.

The village head, Kuisheng, led them into the village, and saw that the village was quiet, with white lanterns hung on the doors of many houses, and white cloths covering the doors.

They rushed all the way to the largest and best ancestral hall in the village. Kuisheng declared that the elders could live in the ancestral hall temporarily, and he would deliver the meals immediately.

Kuisheng left, but Jin asked curiously: "Brother, what about the villagers here, why don't they see young and strong, but only old people in scanty clothes?"

"Oh, the villagers are said to be in awe of us and dare not come out." Ye Nian has been here once and is already familiar with it. "And those old people are not villagers, but slaves."

"What is a slave?"

"I don't know the details." Ye Nian frowned, as if thinking about this question for the first time, "When Kuisheng comes, you can ask him."

Ye Nian wanted to destroy the Fengsheng Beast wholeheartedly.In his opinion, this is just an ordinary village. There are no cultivators in the village. It has been harassed by wind beasts for so many years. It is said that countless villagers have died. It is a kind of fate that he can pass by this place and bump into this matter, which deserves to be taken seriously. .

Everything else is not very important.

However, Jin and Bai Zhizhuo looked at each other, and they both saw the unfinished words: this village is not simple.

However, Ye Nian is such a fool that he doesn't care about anything else. Of course, the other Jianmen disciples chose to listen to their senior brother. They are really more innocent than the other.

They were in the main room of the ancestral hall, facing the gate, and what they enshrined were not ancestral tablets, but four weird-looking beasts, which were the four beast gods they had seen outside, but they paid more attention to details.

What is used is not white porcelain that symbolizes auspiciousness, let alone gold and silver materials that symbolize wealth, but pitch-black black soil.

There were burning incense tables under each of the four gods, and on the table were offering fruits, all vegetarian, but Jin covered his nose, always feeling a faint smell of blood.

The main room is very big, there is a futon under the incense table, there are two rows of tables and chairs under the futon, there is a round table on the east side, which seems to be for them to eat, and there is a small room on the west side, which is locked, I don’t know what’s inside .

As far as an ordinary village is concerned, the decoration of this ancestral hall is a bit gorgeous, but it is not out of the ordinary. What Jin cares about is why until now, only the village chief, Kuisheng, has come out to entertain. Slave", not even a child can see.
