Cultivate the ruthless way for him

Xue Chengfeng, courtesy name Yuanjing, is the head of the Xue family in central Shu.

The Xue family was originally a big family in the middle of Sichuan, but later the family fell into decline, and it was all supported by the Xue brothers.Although the Xue brothers had the determination to make their families shine, how could they hold up the capsized boat with their strength alone.For a long period of time, the Xue family quickly fell from a first-rate sect to a low-rate sect, and was oppressed by other immortal sects.

By chance, the Xue brothers picked up several volumes of practice secret books left by the immortals in a cold pool in the middle of Sichuan, which recorded many different cultivation methods. He became the head of the Zhou family, the largest immortal sect in central Sichuan at that time, and became famous in the Immortal World Conference.More and more disciples went to seek refuge with the Xue family, and the Xue family gradually became stronger and regained its former glory.

It was 400 years ago that Xue picked up the cheat book.

400 years ago—wasn’t it the time when Master practiced in Hantan Cave?

Zhao Zhao's heart beat wildly, and he looked at Shui Jing again.

The scene in the mirror is five days later.

Wearing a bamboo hat and covering her face with silver, Wu Qiuyu came to wait in the cave early in the morning. In addition to her sword, she also wore many spells and magic weapons to exorcise evil spirits.

At a glance, Zhaozhao recognized the safety talisman woven with red thread on the monk's waist. It was made by himself and learned from Aunt Wang next door.Every time Uncle Wang went hunting in the mountains, Aunt Wang would put such a safety talisman on Uncle Wang.

Peace symbol.

Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that this was the penultimate time Master went to the mountain to practice while he was in Guanyin Village.

That time, it will be half a month.

The opportunity for Master to enter the mountain was after Xue's disciples came to deliver letters.Before entering the mountain, the master was still sitting under the lamp and wrote a three-page letter to Mrs. Xue.

I wrote until late at night.

Presumably it was to discuss how to deal with the dragon.

But that time when Master came back, it was a rainy night and he was injured...

Obviously, Master's painstaking efforts to kill demons were not successful.

Zhao Zhao suddenly thought of something, and pressed down his eyelashes. After a while, he mustered up the courage to look up at the water mirror again.

In the water mirror, the cultivator in Xuanyi waited from morning to noon, and finally came a dozen or so leaders of the immortal clan headed by Xue Chengfeng. Some of them came from central Shu and some from Zhongzhou.

Wu Qiuyu's eyebrows were obviously loose, and she immediately got up to greet everyone.

At this time, a figure in a black cloak walked in from outside the cold pool.

This person exudes a gloomy cold air all over his body, and his sharp eagle eyes are bright and cold, like a curved silver hook that has eaten away most of the sky.

Xue Chengfeng was very respectful to the visitor.

The other heads of the immortal clan also stepped aside one after another and stood with their hands down.

Xue Chengfeng introduced: "Cultivator Wu, this is the elder of the immortal sect in Zhongzhou that I mentioned to you before. Thanks to this senior, we were able to successfully summon so many heroes of the immortal sect to discuss and punish him." The devil's plan."

Wu Qiuyu's whole heart was tied to the matter of exterminating demons. Hearing this, she was moved in her heart, and hurriedly bowed her hands to salute the visitor.

"The people in Qiu Yudai village thanked seniors for their generous help."

The man said concisely: "Let's discuss countermeasures first."

This hit Wu Qiuyu's heart.

Wu Qiuyu asked everyone to sit down in the cold cave.Xue Chengfeng, the mysterious man in black, and another immortal patriarch sat on the stone bench, while the rest sat cross-legged on the spot.

As soon as Xue Chengfeng took his seat, he asked: "Cultivator Wu, where is the magic dragon hiding, maybe tell us first?"

Wu Qiuyu nodded, took out a map made of sheepskin from his sleeve, placed it on the stone table, pointed to several places marked in red, and said: "According to my investigation, the magic dragon is probably hiding in a nearby cold pool." .”

Because of the special landform here, there are more than ten such cold pools distributed among the mountains.

Xue Chengfeng stared at the red dots, and asked: "The terrain of the cold pool is complicated, and it's not easy to find it. Even Brother Wu is not sure where this monster is hiding?"

Wu Qiuyu said: "The monster is cunning. There are at least three hiding places. I really can't tell which one it is. However, I have fought against him many times, and I already know a little about his travel habits. He will go out of the cave to look for food every three days. , The time is mostly after the sky is completely dark at Haishi. According to the usual rules, today is the time for him to go out of the cave to look for food, we just need to set some bait to lure him out."

"Bait?"

"That's right. This monster is hiding in the cold pool mainly because of its damaged cultivation. What is most needed now is a treasure that can improve its cultivation."

Everyone looked at each other.

Still Xue Chengfeng said: "There are treasures, but if you do this, won't you startle the snake?"

"Yes, the sudden appearance of a fairy treasure in this deep mountain and old forest will surely arouse the vigilance of the monsters."

"Cultivator Wu, you need to be cautious about this matter."

Wu Qiuyu smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry, I have ready-made bait here."

Everyone immediately looked at him together.

The cultivator in Xuanyi took out a spiritual pouch from his sleeve. The spiritual pouch was originally bright green, but at this moment it was pitch black, wrapped in a cloud of black air.

The originally cool air was suddenly filled with invisible ice scum.

"This is?!"

"It's a part of his tail that was cut off when I fought against the monster before. Using this as bait, it will surely lure the monster out of the hole."

Xue Chengfeng looked happy.

"Cultivator Wu is really a good plan."

After that, discuss the specific arrangements for night operations.

It was very simple, Wu Qiuyu was in charge of using the broken tail to lure the monster out, and the rest of the team divided into three waves to surround the monster from three directions.After all tasks were assigned, only the man in black was left, and no one dared to assign tasks to him.

"The old man will go with Cultivator Wu."

The man in black spoke slowly.

Xue Chengfeng said: "It couldn't be better. That monster is ferocious and brutal. It may be dangerous to rely on Cultivator Wu alone to lure him out."

Attracting demons is indeed the most critical part of the night's success, and the danger he faces is also the greatest. The man in black's cultivation level is obviously higher than that of the others, so it is appropriate to be in charge of this part.

The cultivator in Xuanyi was grateful to everyone for coming here to help regardless of the danger, but he didn't notice the look of fear and excitement in the eyes of everyone when they saw the spiritual pouch in his hand.

Zhao Zhao saw it clearly.

Zhao Zhao had almost anticipated the development of the situation, pursed the corners of his mouth, clenched his fists, and stared at the picture in the water mirror.

It turned out that when he didn't know, the master had experienced this incident.

No wonder that night...

Zhaozhao's fingertips pierced into the palm of his hand.

That night, the sky was lightly raining.

The rest of the people had been scattered to hide, only Wu Qiuyu and the man in black stayed in the cave, waiting for the arrival of Haishi.

Wu Qiuyu sat quietly behind the stone case, staring at the sky outside the cave.

The man in black looked up at the layout of the cave. With his eagle-like eyes, he quickly noticed the bloody scratches on the stone walls on both sides and the cold jade bed.

"Cultivator Wu usually practices here?"

The man in black asked, as if chatting.

Wu Qiuyu nodded.

"It's not about cultivation, it's just to consolidate the foundation."

The man in black nodded and didn't speak any more. He walked to Hanyu's bed, gently closed his sleeves, and put the green grasshopper cage into the sleeves.

The time of Hai is finally here.

Wu Qiuyu and the man in black went out of the cave one after the other, and walked towards the preset location.

That's where another cold pool is located, and the terrain is even steeper.

The magic dragon is very dependent on the water and fairy energy in the cold pool.

According to the plan, they will stand on the highest point of the cliff opposite the cold pool, draw the dragon out, let the monster out of the water, and minimize his magic power.

**

The rain outside the cave was intensifying, and the mountain peaks with a radius of tens of miles were shrouded in rain and fog.

Wu Qiuyu put on the coir raincoat, and the man in black wrapped the hood tighter.

The two arrived at the agreed place on time.

Standing on the cliff and looking around, one can vaguely see one or two immortal glows hiding in the dark, which are people from the immortal sect dormant everywhere.

Everyone is ready, and a magic circle has been arranged around the cold pool in advance, so that the monsters can appear and kill them in one fell swoop.

"Brother Wu, release the bait."

The man in black reminded in a low voice.

Wu Qiuyu nodded, took out the spiritual pouch from her sleeve, flicked her fingers lightly on the seal, and a jet of black air rushed out of the pouch immediately.

It is exactly the shape of a tail.

Wu Qiuyu tied Duanwei in time with a fairy rope to prevent him from escaping.

The "tail" twisted wildly, as if it was eagerly looking for something, and in an instant, its volume expanded several times.The monk needs to infuse the immortal power into the immortal rope, so as to bind the "tail" and not be broken free by it.

At this moment, a muffled roar suddenly came from the depths of the pitch-black cold pool.

Immediately after a bang, a gigantic monster rushed out from the darkness, with furious beard, sharp claws like lightning, and black flames, two big blood-red eyes like lanterns, and the sound of thunder in its belly, went straight to the cliff .

This is the moment!

Wu Qiuyu lifted the Xuanyu sword in his hand, and inserted the severed tail that was still swinging wildly, about to meet its master, into the cliff. With the Xuanyu sword as the center, countless blue sword shadows scattered like ripples, forming a circle. A huge circular magic circle.

Broken Tail immediately lost its vitality, lying on the ground, motionless.

The demon dragon was furious, swung its sharp claws, and rushed towards the black-clothed cultivator. As the dragon passed by, the surrounding walls shattered.

According to the plan, the people of the immortal sect who are dormant on all sides should swarm up at this time, and work together to kill the magic dragon and completely trap the magic dragon in the cold pool.Demon-slaying magic circles have been set up around the cold pool, and it is impossible for the magic dragon to escape.

Wu Qiuyu was not in a hurry to draw his sword, but was still patient, under tremendous pressure, trying to draw the magic dragon closer, preferably within the magic circle.

His black robe fluttered in the night rain, the evil spirit charm hanging around his waist was broken into pieces, and the silver surface was also cracked by the strong wind brought by the dragon, and he could hardly hold the sword in his hand.

In the next instant, two balls of black fire shot towards each other like bullets, and the magic dragon rushed towards him roaring and howling.The huge dragon body is like a shady curtain, tightly wrapping the entire mountain.

Wu Qiuyu intuited that countless ice slags were stuffed into the lungs and limbs, and wanted to pull out the sword, but found that the arm was too stiff to move, and it was actually entangled by the devilish energy spit out by the dragon.

The surrounding temperature is still dropping rapidly, dripping water into ice.

The sound of wind and rain and even the sound of running water in the cold pond disappeared.

"senior!"

Wu Qiuyu called out, hoping that the man in black standing behind could help her.

However, the back was empty and there was no response.

The demon dragon slammed its claws down, tearing a long gash on the monk's arm.

Followed by the back, legs, abdomen.

Like playing with prey.

The monk's robe was soon stained with blood. Holding his sword, he half-kneeled on the ground, refusing to fall. Taking advantage of the gap between breathing, he raised his eyes and looked around. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Only boundless blood, boundless rain.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, the magic dragon's claws fell again.

Zhao Zhao clenched his fists tightly, with warm blood slowly flowing from his palm.

The monk was trapped in the huge body of the dragon, unable to see the outside scene, but Zhao Zhao could see clearly.

Those so-called immortal cultivators who were dormant in the dark and were supposed to swarm up to kill the dragon, did not show up to support the dragon after it was drawn out, but rushed in the opposite direction immediately.

That's where the Dragon Cave is located.

With a greedy light in their eyes, they rummaged and searched in the cave, leaving the master alone as bait to be tortured and killed by monsters.

Some of them found cheat books, and some found long-lost magic spells.

Some even took out their spiritual sacs and carefully collected all the devilish energy left in the cave as if they had found a treasure.

On the cliff, the monk's silver face was blown off by the wind, revealing a face covered with magic lines.The Xuanyu sword in his hand burst into countless black flames.

The demon dragon stared at the sword silently, and then slowly lowered the sharp claws it swung again. Its scarlet eyes suddenly shot out two beams of excitement.

The magic pattern spread rapidly on the monk's skin, and soon covered his palms, arms, and even his eyes.

The cultivator got up from the pool of blood, stood against the wind, and slowly raised the sword. The power emanating from the sword actually suppressed the aura of the dragon.

The dragon lowered its head.

The monk raised his sword, his robe sleeves fluttered, and flew down against the wind, toward the cold pool.

The people who were still rummaging and searching saw the black-clothed monk who was covered in magic patterns and entered with a sword like a ghost, all of them were terrified.

"Wu, Yishi Wu, what are you—" the monk swung his sword mercilessly, cutting the speaker's throat.

Where the sword edge passed, blood splashed into the cold pool.

Those people from the immortal sect fell forever in a pool of blood in various postures.

The monk's eyes were full of magic lines, and he raised his sword to push towards the last person.

Holding two thick volumes of secret books in his arms, Xue Chengfeng retreated step by step until he reached the stone wall, and there was no way to retreat.

"Cultivator Wu!"

Xue Chengfeng roared and drew out the spirit sword.

"We are all practitioners, why bother to face each other with swords. If you come closer, don't blame Xue for being rude."

Xue Chengfeng's arms and voice were shaking.

The monk gave him a gloomy look, with violent sword intent, and suppressed fiercely.

The spirit sword in Xue Chengfeng's hand immediately shattered into two pieces.

Xue Chengfeng opened his eyes wide in horror, a burst of despair hit him, and he was about to close his eyes and wait for death.

At this time, a delicate blue grasshopper cage suddenly appeared in front of the monk with misty water vapor.

The monk's eyes stained with magic patterns froze for a moment.

In this instant, a sharp sword pierced through the monk's chest.

Xue Chengfeng opened his eyes, looking at the man in black who descended from the sky in surprise and joy.

"Walk."

Humanity in black.

Xue Chengfeng staggered up, hid the cheat book in his arms, and left with the man in black.

Inside the Cold Pool Cave, the cultivator propped up his sword, half-kneeling on the ground, with his fingers sticking to the wet and cold ground, carefully picked up the grasshopper cage that had been thrown on the ground, and put it into his arms...

Zhao Zhao's eyes were filled with mist.

Lowering his head, he set his eyes on the grasshopper cage on the stone case.

A tear fell silently.

He already knew what happened after that, the master went back to Guanyin Village in the rain just to have a look at him again, and then entrusted him to Uncle Wang's family, entered the mountain again, and died with the dragon.

Except for the villagers of Guanyin Village, no one knows how an ordinary monk sacrificed his life to protect the lives of a whole village.

However, those wolf-hearted people who seek fame and fame still live in the world glamorously, enjoying the respect and admiration of the world, and even become great heroes who exorcise demons and defend Taoism.

How unfair.

Liu Wenkang put away the Shui Lingzhu, indicating that Zhaozhao could leave.

Zhao Zhao didn't move, and asked, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

Liu Wenkang smiled.

"Young master is so smart, can't you guess it?"

Zhao Zhao was silent, stretched out his fingers, dipped a little bit of pool water, and slowly carved a rune on the stone case.

Golden runes.

It used to take more than half a day to carve a single rune, but Zhao Zhao can already carve it with ease.

Liu Wenkang said: "Little master, long time no see."

Although Zhao Zhao had already guessed the answer, he was still excited.

"Little Willow, is it really you?"

Liu Wenkang nodded.

"Thanks to the runes of my lord and my little master, I was able to cultivate my true form."

"I'm about to ascend to heaven in a few days. I brought the little master here today, not for anything else, but to repay the little master's kindness."

"This kind of favor has been repaid, and I should leave."

After saying that, his primordial spirit gradually disappeared, disappearing into the vast night.

Zhao Zhao actually had other confusions in his heart.

For example, when did Liu Wenkang recognize him?When he was in Liujiazhuang in Xizhou, Liu Wenkang led him into the path of ruthlessness. Was it intentional or unintentional?

But after thinking about it, these are not important anymore.

The most important thing right now is Master.

Zhao Zhao puts the grasshopper cage away, leaves the cave, and rushes directly to the village with Yu Jian.

**

On the other side, Zhang Yuan was already going crazy.

He just communicated with Sanskrit, and when he returned to the house, he found that Zhaozhao had disappeared.

Zhang Yuan's heart felt like falling into an ice cave.

He first went to the Immortal Temple in front of him to search around, then knocked on the door of the Wang family next door in the middle of the night, and asked about it, but there was no obvious whereabouts.

In the middle of the night, where can Zhao Zhao go?

Zhang Yuan's heart sank, and various speculations emerged uncontrollably in his mind.

All speculations point to a conclusion that Zhao Zhao really doesn't want him as a master anymore.

Otherwise, how could he leave without saying goodbye in the middle of the night.

The Wang couple also helped Chang Yuan to find them together, and comforted Zhang Yuan: "Don't worry Wu Immortal, I heard from my ancestors that the little Immortal likes to cling to you the most. Holding a lamp, I waited at the entrance of the village all night, waiting for you to come back. Every time the villagers joked that they wanted to kidnap the little fairy and take him to their own homes, the little fairy would lose his temper at the villagers, saying that he would never leave Master .The little fairy will definitely not leave you alone."

Zhang Yuan didn't get much comfort in his heart.

Because he clearly knew that no matter how good Wu Qiuyu was before, how unqualified his master was.

It was burning in the middle of the day, and there was a creak, and the fence door slammed.

Zhao Zhao put away his sword and walked in from the outside.

The boy's eyes were still red.

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, strode over and hugged the boy tightly in his arms.

The Wangs also laughed, took their leave and went back to sleep.

Zhao Zhao was still angry and sad about what he saw in the water spirit bead, and suddenly fell into a firm and warm embrace, still somewhat unable to recover, raised his head, blinked his eyelashes, and asked, "Why are you hugging me?"

It was obviously him who was sad.

How come Master Qi's eyes look redder than his.

And—Zhaozhao turned his head to look at the small courtyard, and found that the courtyard was in a mess, as if it had been robbed by bandits, the water tank was down, the sheepfold was broken, and the fence gate was broken.

These were all built by him and his master back then, how did they become like this.

Zhao Zhao soon had someone to suspect, raised his black eyes, and stared at Chang Yuan.

"How is this going?"

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and he said, "Do you know?"

"what do you know?"

"Just now, Master is really going crazy."

Zhaozhao was taken aback for a moment, then overflowed with joy, and asked, "Really? Why are you crazy?"

Chang Yuan sighed.

"You ask knowingly."

"Who asked knowingly, I'm just curious. I heard that when your black feather blocked the robbery for you, you also went crazy. Compared with today, which time is more crazy?"
