Ye Mu is a disciple of Shang Xuanzong.His qualifications are not long, he only entered the school ten years ago, but now he has the eighth level of Qi Refining, which shows that he is talented and intelligent.

This is at the foot of Shangxuanzong Mountain. Ye Mu and some other disciples of Shangxuanzong were assigned to patrol here. Shangxuanzong did not intend to use these low-level disciples as cannon fodder to deal with monsters, so Ye Mu and the others' duty was only to be vigilant. , if you encounter a surprise attack by a monster, you need to contact the above immediately.

The seven peaks of Beidou Mountain stand tall, foggy at dawn, rosy clouds at sunset, green forests and green bamboos at the foot of the mountain, ready for all seasons, fairy flowers and grasses, fragrant spring streams, beautiful fruits and luxuriant branches, clear and clean Zhangzhang, making people forget to return.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you see it too much, you will feel that it is normal. Ye Mu has been assigned to this place for security shifts three years ago, and has been patrolling this area every day. Over time, he can point out the direction with his eyes closed.

The mountain was very peaceful, Ye Mubai walked up and down chatting boredly, silently rehearsing a spell he wrote down yesterday, when suddenly someone patted his shoulder.

Turning around subconsciously, seeing the person coming, he couldn't help but let out a long breath: "Senior Brother Huang, you scared me to death!"

Huang Wenjun laughed at him: "You are so timid!"

The two were very familiar, Ye Mubai gave him a look: "I'm practicing spells!"

Huang Wenjun said: "If you don't understand, let me teach you, brother."

Ye Mu asked: "Hey, Senior Brother Huang, I don't understand. Although there are traces of monsters everywhere now, this is Shangxuanzong. The masters have such high cultivation bases, and there is a net of heaven and earth around them. There are really monsters here." How dare you dare to come here?"

When he started, he happened to catch up with the news of the attack of monsters, but at that time, the Taichu Continent was only scattered in threes and twos, and he was not taken seriously by the major sects. , the monsters did not decrease but increased, and many people in the states of various countries suffered because of this. The countries were helpless, and the people were panicked, so they had to ask for help from their own cultivation sects.

At the beginning of last month, Qinghe Zhenren, the head of Shangxuanzong, received a letter written by the suzerain of Tianyanzong, the second sect in the mainland, saying that Tianyanzong found traces of middle-level monsters and reminded Shangxuanzong to be careful.

Not only Shangxuanzong, Qinggumen, Wanshanmen and other major sects also received messages from Tianyanzong one after another. Defensive formations are set up nearby, and once the breath of monsters approaches, the formations will be activated automatically.

Huang Wenjun said: "It's just a precaution, but there is a defensive formation, so there is no need to be too alarmed."

Ye Mu curled her lips: "I'm not panicked, I'm just envious of those brothers who can go out and destroy monsters."

No matter how powerful the imperial court was, those soldiers were ordinary people after all, so when monsters appeared in the territory of Canghe, the emperor naturally thought of following up with Xuanzong to ask for help.Here Shang Xuanzong sent a group of people to help deal with the monsters, and it was only half a month ago.

Ye Mu held a piece of grass in his mouth, leaned against the tree trunk, and was in a panic: "If you want to improve your cultivation, you need to gain more practical experience. It's nothing to be stuck here!"

He sighed loudly: "A child without a master is like a grass! If the master hadn't fallen when he was forming an alchemy, I wouldn't have been kicked here!"

The back of the head was immediately slapped by Huang Wenjun, "Where are there so many complaints!"

Ye Mu sighed: "Isn't it? Before I came in, my lifelong dream was to enter the Xuanzong, even if I became a handyman disciple. How could I know that there are such things in the world's number one cultivation sect? !"

Huang Wenjun sneered: "Your master doesn't seem to love you much, it's just a name. If it's unlucky, I'm a hundred times more unlucky than you!"

Ye Mu also heard about the Merging of the Jinghai School into the Shangxuanzong, and he felt a little guilty when he heard it, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Huang, it brought up your sad past!"

"It doesn't matter," Huang Wenjun put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky leisurely. "Speaking of which, I am also incompetent. Like my friends who grew up with me, except for one who is missing, the other one has also reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

Ye Mu gossips: "The one you mentioned in the late stage of foundation establishment is Senior Sister He Yun. In fact, Senior Sister He is quite beautiful. Why haven't you considered it... Hehe!"

"Hey your head!" Huang Wenjun glared at him, "Don't say such bad girl Qingyu's words in the future!"

Ye Mu was used to messing around with him, so he didn't take it seriously: "But I heard that you had a childhood sweetheart before, was it the one who disappeared?"

Huang Wenjun's face changed slightly, and he regained his composure after a while: "No, the missing one is called Zhou Yin. He is a man. He also grew up with He Yun and me. He doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now."

"What about the childhood sweetheart?" Ye Mu moved his head closer, breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line.

"Married." Huang Wenjun said lightly.

"Huan Jun's pearls are crying, wishing to meet when she was not married... Oh no, it should be, long-term hatred is not as good as water... babbling..." Ye Mu sang in a nonsensical tone there, winking.

Huang Wenjun was disturbed by him, and the idea of ​​hurting the spring and the autumn has already flown to the sky.

"You kid..."

Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed.

Ye Mu didn't realize the weirdness yet, squinting his eyes and humming, with a relaxed expression.

But the front of his clothes was suddenly pulled up by a strong force, Huang Wenjun grabbed him firmly, and pushed him away fiercely.

"What the hell..."

With a bang, there was a big hole where they were sitting.

"Run!" Huang Wenjun's tone changed.

Ye Mu stepped back and looked up subconsciously.

A big snake standing more than one foot high spit snake letters at them.

The snake's head is half human face and half snake scales, and the eyes are red, almost bleeding.

The pit just now was made by the strange snake with its tail whip. If Ye Mu had been slower to react, he would have been beaten into scum at this time.

Without further ado, the two of them boarded the flying magic weapon and escaped for their lives.

"What the hell is this!" Ye Mu roared, throwing a rune back.

The rune hit the big snake and ignited a flame. The big snake flicked its tail, and the flame was extinguished immediately.

"Nuyue!" Huang Wenjun roared back.

He recognized it right away. This thing was the monster he, Zhou Yin and others encountered in the Jinghai Mountains. After many years, the feeling of being on the verge of death and having nowhere to escape returned. It was a little bigger than what they saw at the beginning, Huang Wenjun knew that it was impossible to defeat it with his and Ye Mu's cultivation base.

"Brother, hurry up!" Ye Mu said urgently.

"What a fart, you still haven't reported it!" Huang Wenjun was also sweating profusely.

Isn't there a defensive circle here?

The thought flashed by, and Ye Mu heard Ye Mu crying and saying: "I, I can't find the messenger fireworks!"

He was frantically digging out things, and his body almost fell off the flying magic weapon because he lost his balance.

Huang Wenjun almost vomited blood when he heard this, "You bastard, look for it!"

But I forgot to bring my communication fireworks today.

He turned around and slashed at the snake's scales with the light of the sword, and disappeared into nothingness again.

Both felt that the time of death was imminent.

When the big snake opened its mouth, Huang Wenjun and the others could smell a strong stench.

"Oh, I can't take it anymore, if I am not bitten to death, I will be smoked to death!" Ye Mu shouted.

"Go over there, there are fellow sects there who are also on guard, so many people are easy to deal with!" Huang Wenjun said, flying to the southeast.

It was just a snap of the fingers, they almost concentrated their whole life skills on the magic weapon of flying, the potential of human beings in a critical moment is unlimited, so the flying speed increased a little, and they were a little farther away from the big snake.

The two held their breaths and flew for a long time. Along the way, they saw four or five corpses down there, and their hearts turned cold.

"They're all dead, they're all dead..." Ye Mu murmured as if he couldn't believe it.

These people are the same as them, disciples of Shangxuanzong who were on patrol today, but they didn't expect to die here quietly.

Why didn't they notice such a big movement, and no one came down to check? !

When Ye Mu was distracted, his body tilted, and he was about to fall off the flying magic weapon.

The big snake quickly chased it up, leaped forward, opened its mouth, its teeth were thick, and its mouth was dripping, just enough to reach Ye Mu.

Huang Wenjun was anxious, he gritted his teeth, raised his sword and stabbed at the big snake, while reaching out to pull Ye Mu.

Unexpectedly, the snake's head turned nimbly, and suddenly bit his sword, only a muffled sound was heard, and the sword broke into two pieces.

Huang Wenjun was dumbfounded, thinking that he was done.

The big snake spat out a half-cut sword, and the tail of the snake swept towards them with a thunderous momentum.

A ray of mysterious light came from the sky.

Before Huang Wenjun and the others could react, the big snake's tail had already snapped off, and the rain of blood splashed the two of them on their heads and faces.

The big snake made a sound similar to a scream, and was about to back away in a hurry.

The mysterious light refused to let it retreat, turned around and stabbed at the snake's head.

Only then did Huang Wenjun and the others see clearly that Xuan Guang turned out to be a sword, the blade was jet-black, and even the sword energy was black.

The big snake lost its tail, and its balance was greatly reduced. It tried to escape but stumbled.

It was too late, but soon, the Xuanjian had already pierced through the snake's neck.

Once the Xuanjian was in hand, it immediately flew back to its owner.

The big snake was stabbed so cold that it fell heavily on the ground, breaking countless flowers and plants.

Huang Wenjun and Huang Wenjun only thought that someone in the door noticed something strange and rushed over to support them. After a sigh of relief, they wanted to greet the visitor, and only then did they see each other's face clearly.

"A Yin?!" Huang Wenjun was taken aback, surprised.

Zhou Yin withdrew the Canghe sword.

"There was another one over there just now, and I killed it."

The two were shocked, no wonder no one survived here.

"Why didn't anyone find out?" Zhou Yin asked, with Xuanzong's strength, it shouldn't be like this.

Huang Wenjun smiled bitterly: "We don't know, there was a defensive magic circle here, but it didn't work. We have to go back and report the situation. You can come with us."

Zhou Yin didn't speak, but he didn't object.

Huang Wenjun has long been accustomed to his style, and turned around to ride on the flying magic weapon.

"Let's go."

Ye Mu was looking at Zhou Yin secretly. This name was no stranger to him. He had heard Huang Wenjun mention it before he met Big Snake, but he never thought that this person had such a high level of cultivation. He was already a high-level monk. .

Looking at it a few more times, I found that this person is cold and cold, but his appearance is very good-looking, eyebrows are eyebrows, eyes are eyes, he is a bit more beautiful than Senior Sister He Yunhe.

Zhou Yin said suddenly: "Have you seen enough?"

Ye Mu almost choked on the saliva, and quickly looked away with a dry smile: "Enough is enough!"

The two went to Tianshu Peak, where the previous headmasters of Shang Xuanzong lived. There were many barriers along the way. Due to the attack of monsters, the guard was a little tighter. Found something strange under the mountain.

"How could no one find out?" Ye Mu said to himself.

"There is a problem with your formation." Zhou Yin said lightly.

ha?Ye Mu looked at him inexplicably.

Zhou Yin stopped talking.

... Brother Huang, you have a strange temperament.The corner of Ye Mu's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Huang Wenjun and Huang Wenjun were far from being able to go straight to the teacher's residence, and Zhou Yin's face was unfamiliar, so naturally they had to question him again and again.

All the way to the outside of Lingshou Palace, after a brief explanation of the situation, the disciple guarding the gate did not dare to neglect, and immediately went in to report. After a while, the man walked out quickly, clasped his hands and said: "The master invites you to go in."

After many years, the Jingyuan Hall of Lingshou Palace is still the same as Zhou Yinshang's back, almost unchanged. Qinghe Daoist sat inside and waited for them, but the first person to sit was another person.

Zhou Yin's forehead jumped.

Yun Zong looked at him: "You have formed a golden core? Congratulations."

Daoist Qinghe said with a smile: "Friend Zhou, don't come here unharmed, Yun Zong has already told me that you have a very good relationship when you go out to practice." The tone was amiable and familiar.

It has been 23 years since Zhou Yin, representing the Jinghai faction, fought with the Qinggumen here.

It's just that the relationship is very good, so where do we start?

He looked at Yun Zong, but saw him smiling slightly at him.

Master Qinghe seemed to see his doubts, and said with a smile: "Yun Zong is also a member of Shangxuanzong, worshiped under my sect, but he lives in seclusion all year round, even many disciples of our sect don't know him."

Judging from his tone, it can be seen that Yun Zong's status in Shangxuanzong is not low.

Zhou Yin nodded lightly, and said to Yun Zong, "Long time admiration, long admiration."

The corner of Yun Zong's mouth twitched, is this paying back to him for concealing his identity?

But he heard Qinghe Zhenren change the subject and said: "What's going on?"

It was Huang Wenjun and the others who asked.

Huang Wenjun had already calmed down when he was interrupted just now, and quickly described the situation. Even Qinghe Zhenren was calm and calm, and could not help but change slightly.

"Yun Zong, take someone down the mountain to have a look."

Yun Zong nodded, got up and strode out.

Master Qinghe said a few more words to Huang Wenjun and the others, which were nothing more than encouragement and praise, Huang Wenjun was fine, Ye Mu hadn't been a beginner for a long time, it was the first time he had close contact with the head teacher, and he was so excited that he stuttered a bit.

"You go back and rest first, I have a few words to say to Fellow Daoist Zhou." Qinghe Daoist said.

The two got up, Huang Wenjun mouthed "I'll wait for you outside" to Zhou Yin, and left with Ye Mu.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I still remember that when you were only building a foundation, you dared to use the water in the Zhegu Lake to beat the people from the Qinggumen to nothing. This kind of wit is really rare. .”

"Don't dare to take this ridiculous praise." Zhou Yin had a good impression of Qinghe Zhenren.

Master Qinghe smiled: "Now that the Jinghai Sect has already merged into Shangxuanzong, you can be regarded as a member of Shangxuanzong. If you are willing to stay, you can worship under my sect. Together with Yun Zong, there is also mutual support."

Zhou Yin was a little surprised. He thought that even if the old man would keep him, he would at most go to the sect of other peak masters.

"Let me think about it."

"Fellow daoist, feel free to do whatever you want." Master Qinghe stroked his beard and nodded, showing no displeasure.

Zhou Yin came out of the Jingyuan Hall, and saw Huang Wenjun walking around outside, as if waiting a little restlessly, if the disciples guarding the hall hadn't glared at him several times, I'm afraid the few flowers in the flower garden would be killed by him. Devastated.
