Zhou Yin loves cleanliness very much, but he doesn't pay attention to it.

When conditions permit, he would rather not use cleansing spells, but take a bath. Soaking the body in hot water is completely different from using a spell to keep clean, but when there are no conditions, he will not I don't mind traveling thousands of miles, staying in the wild overnight, or even not taking a bath for several days and nights.

But the current conditions are very good, so naturally we can't waste it.

Behind the screen of the evening painting of fisherman's songs woven by snow-white silk, Zhou Yin's half body is immersed in the huge wooden barrel, his neck is slightly tilted back, leaning against the edge of the barrel, his eyes are lightly closed, and the water column rolls down from his black hair and flows down his forehead. Sliding onto the eyelashes, trembling stopped, about to fall, like dewdrops from snowy plums, making the skin in the steam all the more cold and white.

The body is relaxed, but the mind does not stop.

He is now in the early stage of Jindan, and according to the mainland, he has officially entered the ranks of high-level monks, but in the face of many personnel issues that need to be dealt with in the future, for real masters in the early stage of Jindan, he is just an ant that can be killed easily That's all.

In his previous life, he just wanted to truly control his own destiny, so he would continue to practice, and the meaning of his life, in the end, was only cultivation. Even so, it was still a failure. The world felt that he was a demon cultivator, and he was an uncontrollable variable, so he was easily killed.

In this life, when many people gradually gathered around him, he realized that he had embarked on a completely different path from the previous life.

One is to be born, and the other is to enter the world.

Being in the mortal world, it is impossible to transcend things, not to mention those gods above the nine heavens, they are not truly without desires, so he no longer hibernates in the iceberg outside the Great Wall for decades as in his previous life, and now He acted like an orthodox famous monk.

But no matter what kind of practice method, there is not much time left for him now.

The ravages of monsters, the turbulent undercurrent among the sects of cultivation, and even the conspiracy of the upper realm, all of them indicate that a storm sweeping the world is coming.

If you want to survive in the troubled times, strength is the only one.

He spread his palms and shook them again, feeling the flow of spiritual power between the veins of his body. Needless to say, spells and experience, but the alchemy realm is still somewhat lacking. It will take at least three months before he can be sure to advance. But now in Tianyanzong, it is impossible to have that environment. Once he returns to Shangxuanzong, troubles will follow.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who?" He asked calmly without moving.

"It's us." Yun Zong said outside the door, he was talking about us, not me, naturally there was Qingying.

Zhou Yin frowned slightly, then got up, walked out of the bathtub, put on his clothes again, brushed his half-wet long hair, and then stepped out from behind the screen: "Come in."

Yun Zong pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Zhou Yin's appearance, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

Qingying's face was solemn, she had already learned from Yun Zong that they heard the conversation between the senior brothers and sisters after they went out, so naturally she couldn't relax, let alone teasing Zhou Yin, she just cut to the chase: "The matter of Houshan has a lot to do with it."

Seeing that neither of them spoke, she sighed: "There are two important things now, if Tian Yanzong really raises monsters, investigation is of course necessary, and the evidence must be taken away so that it can be made public in front of the world in the future. Secondly, since Qingqing went back to report the letter, there has been no more news. I am afraid that there is something wrong with our sect, so I have to go back as soon as possible. Or I will go to the back mountain to have a look, and you go back first."

Before she spoke, she set up an enchantment around her, and there were disciples outside to handle her, in case someone approached and eavesdropped, she could discuss secrets as much as possible.

Zhou Yin said: "Not for the time being."

Qingying was startled: "Why?"

Seeing that Zhou Yin didn't intend to speak, Yun Zong continued: "Although there are more than a dozen disciples on this trip, the three of us who can actually defend against the enemy are the three of us. If we disperse now, we are afraid that accidents will happen at both ends. .”

Qingying smiled wryly: "That's true."

Yun Zong glanced at Zhou Yin, seeing that he had no objection, he said: "I will go to the back mountain with A Yin, and my uncle will stay. If they become suspicious, we can also deal with him."

Qingying's cultivation is extremely high, but she is not very proficient in general affairs. Hearing the words, she hesitated and said: "Then if there are monsters in the back mountain, they must be heavily guarded, and the barrier is probably not easy to break. Why don't you let me go."

Yun Zong said: "You have gone, there is no one here, they are even more suspicious, if it is normal, we can come back in three days, if you have not returned in three days, you immediately take people back to Xuanzong."

Now among the three, Yun Zong and Zhou Yin were the ones who made the decisions. Qingying didn't mind this much at all, seeing that the two of them had settled down, she nodded in agreement.

As soon as Qingying left, there were only two people in the room.

Yun Zong said: "Why are you talking less and less?"

Zhou Yin's wet hair soaked a few watermarks on the fabric, and under the white singlet, the well-proportioned white skin was faintly visible. Yun Zong only took a few glances, then turned his eyes away, and stared at the teacup in front of him.

Zhou Yin looked at Yun Zong, and it took him a while to say a word: "Oh."

Yun Zong: "..."

This modal particle has two meanings. Anyway, Yun Zong is there, and he will definitely help him complete the sentence. Besides, he has talked enough in the past two days. Zhou Yin feels that talking is more tiring than fighting. In the next few days, I will not speak until I can.

Rao is as lonely and arrogant as a cloud, but when facing him, he loses half of his temper.

Yun Zong said: "Then let's go tomorrow, you are too tired today."

Zhou Yin nodded slightly.

Yun Zong looked at Zhou Yin, and suddenly found that the other party's eyes were like fine obsidian, clear and dust-free, empty and remote, pure without any impurities, reflecting the stern and clear face, the darker the blacker, the whiter the whiter White, like the clearest and coldest water in the ancient well, you can scoop up half a spoonful of the bright moon when you stretch out your hand to scoop it up.

This person may not know it, after fighting with Qin Wuji during the day, he stood in the air, and his magnificence had already captivated everyone, but he was cold-hearted and never cared about anyone's thoughts, so he naturally It will not shake your heart.

He still produces gold from mines, like lead produces silver. He is super dedicated to smelting and smelting, and he absolutely loves phosphorus.

Abnormal people take advantage of the truth, holding hibiscus in their hands.In the catastrophe, there is nothing left.

Something seemed to break open in my heart, gurgling out.

He has practiced for more than a hundred years, and he has never been moved by anything. Even if his fiancée marries someone else, it is just a breeze to him, and it is dispensable.

However at this moment...

After a while, Yun Zong finally got up and left without saying anything.

Zhou Yin didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Seeing the door open and close, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

The knock sounded again.

"Bao'er?" This time it was Zhou Zhang.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yin didn't open his eyes.

"I'll come and see you." Zhou Zhang's voice carried a trace of grievance.

"I'm fine, you go back." Zhou Yin said lightly.

"Oh." Although Zhou Zhang wanted to see people very much, but since Zhou Yin refused, he didn't dare to force his way in, so he had to say outside, "I brought some medicines to replenish buffs and put them outside. You Remember to take it out, and I heard that there will be a wind blowing at night, so remember to close your doors and windows. Although you are a monk, if you don’t pay attention, you will get sick. Don’t go to fight tomorrow. Remember to have a good rest..."

Zhou Yin: "..."

You can say that without letting people come in. After you come in, you don't want to be quiet for a night.

Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, Zhou Zhang said a lot, and after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have nothing to say, so he put down the medicine and left sadly.

Although the Tianyan Sect was built on a plain, compared to the many palaces and towers in the front mountain, the back was originally a small hill. Move the boulders, tired here, and plant rough trees to turn it into a small-scale mountain forest.

Such a mountain forest is so thoughtless, even if two people have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, it is impossible to rush into it rashly. If one of them is not good, the whole army will be wiped out.

But Zhou Yin was already prepared.

When he was at the bamboo forest path yesterday, he had already placed a talisman on that male disciple.

It's not so much a talisman as a Gu.

Zhou Yin has traveled all over the country in his previous life, and has also seen the method of making Gu in southern Xinjiang. Now he is thousands of miles away from southern Xinjiang. Although he can't achieve that kind of superb effect, at least he can track it without any problem.

The most important thing is that it is neither a medicine nor a talisman, let alone a spell, so naturally no one will be able to detect it.

Yun Zong was still thinking about how to sneak in to hide it, but after hearing Zhou Yin's words, he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Although cold-hearted, he is as careful as a hair.

Such people...

He didn't think about this kind of characters any more, the thought of last night was already an accident.

Since he entered Shangxuanzong when he was young, he has decided to cultivate with all his heart in order to see the way of heaven. He has never had any distracting thoughts on this matter. Otherwise, with his temperament, it would be impossible to wade into the muddy water.

Zhou Yin's temper is colder and more independent than his, naturally even more so.

Yun Zong quickly pulled back his thoughts, and suppressed the unexplainable feeling in his heart.

The two were walking along the path in the bamboo forest.

This is the only way to the back mountain.

This is the second day of the martial arts fight, and the place is as quiet as yesterday.

Those three magic treasures, not to mention the things of the cultivators in the world, even the disciples of the Tianyan Sect are envious, and the Tianyan Sect did not prohibit the disciples of the sect from playing. On the front square.

The timing is perfect.

In order to deceive others, the two used invisibility, Zhou Yin followed the disciple's aura, and Yun Zong followed.

At the end of the bamboo grove, there is another snow locust tree, but it is not the season for the locust tree to bloom, and it is still emerald green, without any white stars.

Zhou Yin suddenly quickened his pace, and his shoes swept across the ground without leaving any traces.

Clouds follow closely behind.

There was a person standing not far in front of him, it was the male disciple who had been given Tracking Gu by Zhou Yin.

I saw him standing between two pagoda trees, took out a jade tablet from his pocket, and muttered something in his mouth, after a while, he raised his foot and was about to move forward.

Suddenly, he was hit by a strong force, and the disciple fell to the ground before he even had time to hum. The jade tablet fell from his hand and fell into a slender white hand.

Zhou Yin took a step forward with the jade tablet, and saw the scenery in front of him suddenly change.

Yun Zong lifted the disciple's back collar with one hand, and followed him in.

It was originally a scene of lush greenery and beautiful trees, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a gloomy and gloomy room.

Surrounded by iron bars, it was damp and stale, and exuded a disgusting smell.

Obviously a prison cell.

If there is nothing, there are bursts of weeping and mourning. The despair, desolation, and hatred in the voice almost make everyone who hears it want to cover their ears, turn around and leave.

The male disciple once told his lover that he was the only one in charge here, and he was the one who delivered the food, because this place is highly confidential, and I also know that the less people know the secret, the better. It is impossible for Shangguan Han to send an elder here. This guarding is purely to attract attention for no reason, and this kind of low-level disciples are safer.

However, there are fewer people, which does not mean that there is no limit to going in and out. Often in such places, there are more restrictions and barriers.

The scene in front of them did not surprise the two of them. Yun Zong left him aside, while Zhou Yin formed a seal and threw out several talismans to test whether there was an enchantment here.

Unexpectedly, it seems that this place is really just a prison cell.

Things that are contrary to their own will always be demons.

Yun Zong's expression was stern, and the Wuchang Dao was already in his hand. Although Zhou Yin didn't take out the Canghe Sword, he still threw out a talisman every few steps.

After entering the open space, you need to walk along the passage, and the iron fences on both sides separate each small room, which is extremely narrow, airtight, and cramped.

The oil lamp on the wall swayed slightly. Although it was dim, there was no need to light it by myself.

With the faint light, both of them could clearly see the scene behind the fence.

In each cell, a naked woman is locked up.

Those women's hair was disheveled, their eyes were distracted, their bodies were covered with bruises, and even bloodstains. They were not surprised or frightened when they saw them, and they only let out ho-ho-ho laughter or cries, which made people shudder. In the corner, trembling, not even daring to lift his head.

Zhou Yin and the others walked to the end of the passage, only to find that there are three floors below the cell.

On the next floor, there are more than a dozen monsters.

The strange appearance of those monsters can no longer be described by the word horror. Their mouths are full of fangs, their muscles are knotted, and their palms are sharp. They are exactly the monsters that Zhou Yin and the others met in the desert inn before, but they are slightly smaller. Small and looks like it hasn't grown yet.

When those monsters saw them, they all bared their teeth and claws and wanted to pounce on them, but their limbs were imprisoned by spells, unable to move, they could only let out a roar, and their blood-red eyes were full of hatred.

The sound of screams and mourning came from under the feet, from time to time.

The two of them had vaguely guessed something in their hearts at this time, but they didn't make a sound, they just continued to the next floor.

Under the dim light, the scene of man and beast mating is like an endless hell.

The women were forced to lie down on the ground, the monsters were panting in and out behind their backs, the carcass beneath them had been twisted into a strange shape, the women's two arms were unnaturally twisted forward, unable to move, and the waist was twisted. Being firmly fixed by the sharp claws embedded in the flesh, and enduring the impact behind him, it took a long time to let out a moan that was almost a scream, and he was already dying.

No one would have thought that there would be such a place on the main road, and the reason why Tianyanzong dared to take risks, and even became an enemy of the whole world, in the final analysis, was because the other party of the transaction, as the supreme existence, could give them enough. Interests.

This kind of transaction is naturally very cost-effective, and the reward may be quite large, so Tian Yanzong is ambitious and willing to risk the disgrace of the world.On the other hand, if Zhou Yin hadn't experienced a series of events such as the Lianyin Immortal Mansion, and Zhou Chen was a variable, no matter how smart Zhou Yin was, it would be impossible for him to discover the big story behind it.

If the conspiracy of Tianyanzong is to be destroyed, the best way is to make it public.

But the problem is, there are barriers everywhere here, and the two of them alone will never be able to break the barriers and lure the monsters out. Most importantly, once the monsters are out of confinement, they will definitely kill these women first , then the effect you want to achieve will be gone.

Yun Zong obviously thought of this joint, and said, "Let's go out first, don't startle the snake."

Zhou Yin hummed, and the two of them kept walking, returned to the first floor, and walked out with the unconscious disciple.

With the jade card on their bodies, they followed the procedures when the other party came in, but the moment they stepped out of the cell, their hearts sank.

The formation has changed!

The barrier was like an invisible wall, instantly blocking the two of them inside.

The surroundings are no longer dark prison cells, but trapped in the locust forest where they came in just now.

Sophora japonica, also a ghost tree, has a very negative nature, and there is nothing better than this for arranging formations to kill people.

In the square, Shangguan Han was originally sitting on a chair, and his expression of smiling and watching the battle changed slightly.

"Elder Li, follow me, Elder Xiao will stay to host!" He said in a deep voice, got up suddenly and left.

Li Jiuzhang and Xiao Chengjun looked at each other, knowing something must have happened.

What effect can two Golden Core cultivators work together to produce?

I'm afraid even a Nascent Soul cultivator won't be able to follow through.

But for the enchantment in front of him, Shangguan Han has put a lot of thought into it.

He is well aware of the importance of this place, so he combined the power of three Nascent Soul cultivators to build this ingenious barrier, which is easy to enter and difficult to exit, with the intention of trapping trespassers to death.What's more, apart from Li Jiuzhang and Xiao Chengjun, none of the other elders or pavilion masters of Tianyan Sect knew of the existence of this place.

So even if Zhou Yin's Canghe Sword and Yun Zong's Impermanence Saber were combined together, this enchantment would not be able to do anything for a while.

"Hehe, a friend came from afar, but it turned out to be a bad guest."

The pagoda tree in front suddenly twisted, and Shangguan Han's figure suddenly appeared.

The face is warm and the eyes are dark.

"I don't know why the two fellow daoists didn't watch the fight, but ran here to hang out." His eyes fell on Zhou Yin, and he smiled slightly, "Could it be that the fight with Wuji yesterday caused fellow daoists to blame us... "

His words came to an abrupt end.

Because Zhou Yin and Yun Zong jumped up almost at the same time, and Canghe Sword and Wuchang Dao slashed at him with lightning speed.

Undoubtedly, Shangguan Han came to silence, and if Zhou Yin and the others wanted to get out alive today, there would be an endless situation in front of them.

The black mist and red light swept across the sky like a surging tide.

Shangguan Han didn't move.

Li Jiuzhang suddenly appeared behind him, but seeing his sleeves vibrate slightly, and a blank bamboo slip hanging between the two sides, he blocked the red light and black mist, and then turned back!

"The light of the fireflies, dare to compete with the sun and the moon?" Shangguan Han sneered: "Today we all save our lives!"

A pair of hands showing a pair of white as mutton fat Qiongyu, as beautiful as the hooks of the moon Minghua House, following the backlash of the Canghe Sword and Wuchang Dao, the figure is like a ghost, like a wisp of smoke, invisible to the naked eye. The speed floated over, and went straight to the two of them!

Li Jiuzhang on the other end took the bamboo slips and jumped up, but he rushed to Zhou Yin first.

Zhou Yin reacted very quickly, retreating dozens of steps, decisively threw the Canghe Sword to Shangguanhan, and then dodged sideways to avoid the backlash of the sword light, but in this way, he could not deal with Li Jiuzhang separately.

The palm wind has arrived, piercing through his protective barrier.

One is only at the early stage of Jindan, and the other is at the early stage of Yuanying. The gap between the two is undoubtedly evident at this time.

The viscera seemed to be shifted instantly, and the whole body seemed to be torn apart, and it seemed to be ignited with raging flames, trying to swallow the whole person, Zhou Yin spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to hold on to stabilize his figure, and his body fell directly from mid-air.

He was still conscious, but found that he did not fall on the tree or the ground as he expected, but fell into a warm embrace.

There was also a familiar and anxious voice.

"Ayin!"
