==================

It was already daylight.

Xiao Chongyan and Gu Jing went all the way deep into the mountain, and soon realized something was wrong.

"Among the three unknown places, Unfinished Ridge is the most explored and the safest one."

Xiao Chongyan stretched out his hand to brush the dead tree beside him, his index finger slid across the mottled bark, and tapped on the trunk, then a black ghost roared out from under the tree and rushed towards him. After being caught by him, he still did not give up and kept struggling Roaring like crazy, it looked extremely terrifying.

Xiao Chongyan picked up the ghost with two fingers, observed it carefully, and then crushed it casually, saying: "This is a low-level ghost. It has no intelligence, only instinct, and is not very threatening."

"There shouldn't be ghosts in Unfinished Ridge." Gu Jing was also observing the surroundings, and soon came to the same conclusion as Xiao Chongyan, "Now the low-level ghosts are born on their own, floating here, and the ghost projection is really here."

There are three unknown places in Canglan, which are relics left over from the era when the order of the cultivation world was not clear ten thousand years ago. They are Sky City, Wumingyuan, and Unfinished Ridge.

Among them, the Sky City of the Spirit Race in the South Island floats in the sky all day long, and is guarded by the High Priest of the Spirit Race.

The danger and mystery of the first two are self-evident, and few practitioners dare to enter, but Donghuang Unfinished Ridge is very special, almost safe and harmless.

Unfinished Ridge is near the imperial capital of Donghuang, and the snow-capped mountains in it are even one of the water sources of the imperial capital.Weijing Ridge starts from the periphery, and the danger level increases step by step. It is very suitable for practitioners to practice, and it has almost become the official practice place of the Donghuang Dynasty.

But now the two of them are only on the outskirts of Unfinished Ridge, there are already ghosts and shadows, actively attacking, and looking at this world, the atmosphere in early summer is extremely cold, with dead trees and flowers everywhere, extremely depressed and deserted, full of ghosts It was almost foggy.

This must not be what Wei Jingling should be.

"Look for Biquanshui and Youjianhua first." Xiao Chongyan frowned, his face turned pale under the pervasive ghostly aura around him, "According to my little uncle's notes, Biquan is near us."

Gu Jing looked at him with a suspicious expression, and asked, "How are you?"

The concentration of ghost energy here should not be too strong for Xiao Chongyan to bear.

Xiao Chongyan shook his head: "No problem, let's go."

After he said that, he took the first step forward and went in another direction. After turning around, his expression gradually cooled down.

Since stepping into Unfinished Ridge, there has always been a faint call ringing from the lake in his heart, and the sobs have not stopped disturbing his mood.

This situation is very similar to the reflection of the heart lake when a practitioner has a great opportunity. There is a way to manifest in the dark, and if the practitioner feels something, he can follow it.

But Xiao Chongyan knew that was not the case.

Because the whispers he heard were clearly ghost voices, trying to lure him into a trap.

……

……

"Ding dong."

In the early morning, the dewdrops on the tip of the leaves ooze a little crystal, and fall on the stones with a crisp sound, and then there is a gurgling water, and small streams of mountain springs begin to appear.

The two continued to go deeper against the direction of the water flow, and the sound of water falling into their ears became louder and louder. After a while, it suddenly became clear to them that they came to an open green pool.

Xiao Chongyan and Gu Jing looked at each other, knowing that this was the Biquan recorded in the notes.

It's just that what they saw today seemed to be quite different from what was recorded.

"Bitan water in the cloud, dark red flower forest on the road." [1]

Biquan was supposed to be as clear as a cloud, but the reflection of the peach blossoms blooming by the pool is also like a cloud.But right now—

The green spring is still clear, and the peach blossoms beside the pool are tender and tender, but the breeze blows gently, but there is no sparkling water, and the faint fragrance floats. The whole green spring and the peach blossom forest on the shore are dead silent.

It's as if the green spring and the peach blossom are just an empty shell, although they look thick and colorful, the aura and charm in them have long since dissipated, and all vitality has been lost.

The sun set and sprinkled on the water surface, reflecting the dark shadows under it, without waves, almost spreading over half of the green spring, making people feel very strange and palpitating at a glance.

When you look carefully, you can find that the dark shadows are clearly countless low-level ghosts, hovering under the green spring, overlapping and dyeing the bottom of the pool in black.

The ghostly aura soared into the sky.

Xiao Chongyan looked at Biquan quietly, his eyes fell on the place where the ghosts were most concentrated at the bottom of the pool, he didn't speak, but his eyes were cold.

The faint whimper in his heart lake was now like a roar that shook the sky, half a pair of sword bone mountains trembled, and the sword energy was vertical and horizontal, like a thousand swords screaming together.

After seeing this green spring and the ghost at the bottom of the pool, Xiao Chongyan has already figured everything out.

This is someone following Qin Keran's plan, quietly and aboveboard, trying to break his way of asking his heart to reach the sky, and make him never repeat it again.

because--

"Biquan is polluted."

Gu Jing's voice came from next to his ear, the young doctor squatted down, scooped up a handful of spring water with his spiritual power, and then the sound of the zither was clanging, and the Luo Xing Li technique sprinkled crimson radiance, submerged in the spring water, sparkling waves.

"The source of polluting the green spring is at the bottom of the pool. After removing the green spring water, I can purify the ghost energy." Gu Jing's voice was a little heavy, "But this green spring, I can't help it."

In order to purify the ghost energy in this entire green spring, there must be Nine Turns of Chengshuiyuan Buddhist cultivators who come here to clean up the grass, chant scriptures every day, and suppress the unknown source of pollution at the bottom of the pool without stopping for a hundred years. , to have a glimmer of hope for recovery.

If the source of the ghostly aura is not eliminated, this green spring will continuously spawn ghosts. After a thousand years, the entire Unfinished Mountain... may be occupied by ghosts and become a ghost land on earth.

"Ah."

Xiao Chongyan looked at the boy reflected in the water, and looked at him peacefully, almost swallowed by the ghost behind him in white clothes.

He said affirmatively: "Biquan has indeed been polluted."

Because what polluted Biquan was the half of the sword bone that was stripped off him thousands of years ago on the top of Liuyun.



"It's getting late, let's leave here first." Gu Jing put the green spring water into a square inch and said, "After nightfall, the ghost aura here is even stronger, you can't stay here for long."

Xiao Chongyan didn't speak, just looked at the dark shadows at the bottom of the pool in silence, the reflections falling on the water moved slightly, and a little golden light overflowed from his fingertips.

For a sword cultivator, losing half of a sword bone is tantamount to breaking the path of the sword.Even though Xiao Chongyan's way of cultivation is different from ordinary people's, he is also restricted a lot because of this, and he is still unable to truly grasp the Jiuxiao Sword.

And if he couldn't hold the Jiuxiao Sword, he couldn't draw the sword freely.

For Xiao Chongyan, this is naturally a great restriction, and he is not used to it.

——What is before him now is a very tempting choice.

His half sword bone is right in front of him, within easy reach.

As long as he takes back half of the sword bones, he can break through the Baoyi Realm in an instant, and then he doesn't need to wait for the gate of Liuyun Peak to open, he can just climb the mountain to get the sword.

As for the ghost energy attached to the sword bone——

Xiao Chongyan looked at the heart lake and looked at the chubby ghost larva with a serious expression, as if thinking.

He had entered the ghost domain after breaking through the sacred realm, and had a ten-day discussion with the master of the ghost domain, and he had a tacit understanding with the other party at that time.

If the Dao fails, he may switch to the ghost way.

Only then did the ghost idea come from the wind and snow, and was sent into his hands by the shadow guest.

Originally, he really wanted to take this avenue that no one had ever walked before.

——Until Gu Jing appeared.

The Dao between the two of them agrees, the natal object and the natal sword accompany each other, and there is an invisible contract as a companion... If Xiao Chongyan enters the ghost realm again at this time, Gu Jing will definitely be implicated.

Unless the two of them cut off all the fetters, there will be no cause and effect.

……

……

"Xiao Chongyan?"

Seeing Gu Jing being puzzled again, Xiao Chongyan finally turned his eyes away from Biquan and turned to the young medical practitioner behind him after he couldn't help asking.

Gu Jing was looking at him quietly, his dark pupils reflected his appearance - the young man in white had a calm expression, his eyes were very pale, as if a shallow ice had condensed, gradually closing the lake of heart.

The two looked at each other for a moment, silent, and there was no waves in the heart lake, and there was silence.

"Nothing, let's go."

Finally, Xiao Chongyan took the lead to look away, got up and left Biquan.

He walked slowly, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking, and there was a gradual determination in his eyes.

Once because of Gu Jing, Xiao Chongyan gave up the way of ghosts.

Now this choice was placed in front of him again.

But this time, he only needs to take back his sword bone, and he can kill two birds with one stone.

First solve the ghost of Biquan——

Another step to the sky.



The night sinks like water.

The green spring in the middle of the night is even more treacherous. The dark and deep shadows no longer curl up at the bottom of the pool, but disperse outward along the water flow, turning into ghosts and floating in the forest. Wherever they pass along the way, life gradually disappears, and the moonlight is silent.

Next to the green spring, outside the peach forest, the last part of the moonlight was also covered by the black mist, leaving only darkness.

In the darkness, a light suddenly appeared.

Xiao Chongyan came from the depths of the night with a lamp in his hand.

He stopped by the green spring and looked at it silently for a long time, until the ghosts suddenly scattered and fled away, avoiding the spring far away, and in the darkness beside Xiao Chongyan, a handsome monk happened to take a step and stood side by side with him.

"Are you really going to do this?"

In the silent night, the monk asked in a low voice with some hesitation.

"The ghosting here is deep, if you don't solve the source of the ghosting, it may be hard to get back, but you don't have to..."

Naturally, the monk was Ruokong, who also looked at the depths of Biquan at this time, showing disapproval, and softly persuaded.

"If you don't get back the sword bone, the Chengshui Academy will send monks here to practice, chanting scriptures day and night, and there will be a day when ghosts will be completely eliminated."

But if Xiao Chongyan wants to enter the way of ghosts, the world of Canglan will be in chaos.

Just because he is Xiao Chongyan.

"I asked you to come, not to make you talk nonsense." Xiao Chongyan said impatiently, and stretched out his hand, "Give me that Buddha bone."

Ruokong was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and obeyed like a conditioned reflex, and took out the Buddha bone without a moment's hesitation.

But this Buddhist disciple from Chengshuiyuan reacted very quickly, almost thinking about it the moment he handed out the Buddha bone, and then involuntarily took a light breath and blurted it out.

"Your Majesty can't do it!"

This sentence is already too late.

As soon as the Buddha bone fell into Xiao Chongyan's hands, the seal he carved on it was lifted, the Buddha's light flourished, the ghost shadows wailed and dissipated, and the shadows around the green spring receded for a moment, and the moonlight washed away.

At the same time, the green spring was shaking continuously, and the black shadow at the bottom of the pool shook violently, floating towards the surface of the water as if being pulled, and rising into the air, suddenly forming an endless mountain range——

Head straight to Xiao Chongyan!

Under the Buddha's light, the young man's already beautiful appearance suddenly became more awe-inspiring, and even revealed a bit of sacred aura for no reason.Facing the heavy and heavy mountain range, which weighed more than a thousand jun, he just glanced at it indifferently, raised his hand and pointed.

"Buzz!"

A terrifying sword intent rose out of nowhere from his fingertips, and landed right in front of the mountain range. It was just a tiny light like a dust particle, but it stopped the seemingly irresistible castration, making the whole body The dark mountain range stopped there.

The sword intent soared into the sky, and the sky and the earth were extremely quiet for a moment.

Xiao Chongyan still maintained the posture of raising his hands, and said coldly: "Come back."

The next moment, the mountain range really jumped up suddenly, and suddenly shrunk tens of thousands of times in mid-air, and finally turned into a black and purple pocket mountain range, which fell into Xiao Chongyan's palm and disappeared.

At the same time, waves suddenly rose in Xiao Chongyan's heart lake, and a black and purple sword bone mountain range fell heavily from the nine heavens, standing opposite the remaining half of the sword bone mountain range.

After landing, those ghosts scrambled to overflow the Sword Bone Mountain Range, wanting to rush into the Heart Lake, but they were tightly trapped in a cage formed by the dense sword energy between heaven and earth, whining unceasingly, faintly.

In Xiao Chongyan's heart lake world, there are two sword-bone mountain ranges facing each other, the contrast is extremely sharp, as if the difference between heaven and earth.

A green and lush grass, there are insects, birds and apes echoing endlessly, and thousands of sword intents linger endlessly.

A place full of shadows, with ghosts crying intermittently, dilapidated and gloomy, dead silent.

But under the peaceful or decaying surface, there are sword qi and ghost shadows entangled with each other, clinging to each other and entering another sword bone mountain range, killing each other without mercy!

Xiao Chongyan took back the sword bone, but he didn't want to use it to cultivate the way of ghosts, but to suppress the ghost energy in it with his own sword intent, and wanted to completely destroy this half of the ghostly sword bone with his own power!

Now in the lake of his heart, the two mountain ranges face each other. They are originally one, but they are two opposing sides, checking and balancing each other, fighting constantly.

This means that Xiao Chongyan's physical burden is also increasing a lot at the same time, and from now on he will become even weaker and weaker.

"Pfft—cough cough, cough cough cough!"

Xiao Chongyan suddenly coughed violently, almost couldn't stand upright, and his face turned pale as far as the naked eye could see.

But in just a short moment, his body, which had gradually recovered a little after conditioning, was severely injured again, and the world of the heart lake was almost broken and crumbling.

"Why are you so..." Ruokong looked worried, helped Xiao Chongyan to sit down on the rock by the pool, carefully fastened his cloak, and sighed, "The invasion of the ghost domain is a foregone conclusion, and this unknown place will be destroyed. It's okay to go, but you are like this now..."

He paused, still a little puzzled: "This half of the sword bone has been transformed into a ghost. If you refine it, you can use it to enter the ghost way and go straight to the nine heavens. But now you only use sword energy to seal that sword." Half a pair of ghostly sword bones will cause the two sets of sword bones to wear away from each other, and if things go on like this, I'm afraid..."

I am afraid that one day, Xiao Chongyan will lose his remaining half of the sword bones.

And how should a sword repairer who lost his sword bone pick up his sword?

At that time, the former Northern Demon Lord, Canglan Sword Master, will truly be reduced to a cripple who can't even hold a sword.

Ruokong couldn't imagine such a tragic consequence, let alone believe it.

The Xiao Chongyan in his mind should stand above the nine heavens, be admired and loved by all people, and not be stained by the darkness of the world.

But now that person is alone, covered in pain, with half of his body dripping with blood.

……

……

"Ahem...you don't have to think too much."

Ever since he retrieved the sword bone, Xiao Chongyan's low cough has not stopped. The scarlet blood continuously flowed through the hem of his sleeves, and dripped on the moss under his feet, showing a shocking blush.

"I took back the sword bone because it belongs to me. And I don't enter the ghost realm because I don't want to enter the ghost realm."

His face was pale, but his voice was very gentle when he spoke.

"Three thousand ways, all things are accessible." Xiao Chongyan said softly, although his expression was calm, his eyes were very bright, "Without the sword bone, you can still get the way."

He turned half sideways, turned around and looked into the depths of the night, suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"The other thing is... Who told you that I'm only one person?"

Ruokong was taken aback for a moment, then looked behind him together.

Behind them, in the peach blossom forest, a figure in purple clothes carrying a qin gradually walked out. There were many fallen flowers on that person's shoulders, and it was obvious that he had stayed in the forest for a long time.

The figure gradually approached.

With fluttering sleeves and fluttering big sleeves, he came slowly with his whole body in the silence of the night.

The ghost by the side of the green spring dissipated, and the starlight flourished for a while, and the glow of thousands of falling stars fell on the ground, as if paving a winding path for visitors.

He walked all the way, but in just a few steps, it seemed to be from the other side of the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away. After countless days and nights of wind and rain, he finally walked across two continents, all the way to the end of the world——

Come to Xiao Chongyan's side.

Under the sky full of stars, the two sat and stood, looking at each other silently for a while.

Xiao Chongyan spoke softly and asked, "Gu Jing?"

The young man in purple clothes took a step forward and hugged his slender shoulders, just the right amount of warmth came steadily from the touch of his skin.

"Yeah." Gu Jing said, "I'm here."

I am always here.
