There are bandits in Zhongshan

A hundred years ago, an earthquake broke out in the Zhenze area. After the earthquake, the ground collapsed, exposing a ground fissure about a thousand feet long.

The fissure in the ground is extremely deep, like a giant snake winding forward, and like a wound that cannot be healed. It is common for earthquakes to change the landscape. At first, the nearby Xianzong didn't take it seriously, until one day the treasure hunt A casual cultivator from the association passed by and felt that there might be treasures hidden in the cracks in the ground, so he bravely entered the bottom of the cracks, but instead of finding the treasure, he found the remains of a monster.

The corpse was ten feet long, the whole body was red, and contained the breath of flames. Although it had been dead for a long time, the skeleton was still burning. The casual cultivator had never seen such a monster before, and felt that the matter was very important, so he went to Yanyi City to report the matter. This incident alarmed other monks, not only Zhenbao Pavilion, but other sects also sent people to find out.

Both ends of the ground fissure are blocked by huge rocks. It seems that it should be a cave deep in the ground, but it surfaced after the earthquake.Not long after, more corpses of monster beasts were found, about a dozen of them, all of them were monsters above Nascent Soul, and the most powerful ones might even have the cultivation level of transforming gods. In addition, several corpses beside Neidan was also scattered.

It is not surprising that there are monsters underground. There is spiritual power flowing in the ground veins, and places with abundant spiritual power will naturally attract monsters. Some creatures already live underground, which is isolated from the world and the environment is dangerous, so there are very few creatures. Those who can cultivate spiritual consciousness will often become monsters in the end.The remains of those monster beasts have residual fire, and they should have been living underground near the lava.

What is strange is that those monsters are all killed by a sword, even the most powerful one is no exception, and the evil spirit at the corpse even overwhelms the evil spirit, and it is difficult for monks who are not deep in knowledge to approach .The monks who have been to the seam all said: There will be a sword cultivator of Huashen sword in the world soon.

After all, only those with extremely high cultivation would disdain those inner alchemy.However, hundreds of monks have searched in the cracks of the ground for several years, but they have never found anyone who slays monsters. The rewards of Zhenbao Pavilion have been hanging in Yanlu City for several years. There are impostors, but no one has such an extraordinary sword. Fa, in the end it can only be left alone.

Until a few months ago, the ice field in the southeast of Shuoyuan cracked for no reason, and a ground fissure similar to that in the Zhenze area appeared. There were also monster corpses in the ground fissure, and they were also killed by a sword, obviously by the same person.This time, when the ground fissure appeared, a monk who was going to the Appreciation Conference happened to pass by. He claimed to see a fire emanating from the ground fissure. Besides, there was a dark red figure jumping out of the ground fissure. , the speed was extremely fast, and it disappeared at the end of the wind and snow in an instant. The passing monks didn't even have time to chase, so they couldn't see that figure.

After receiving the news, Mu Yun hurried to Nanming Villa, sent people to investigate, and searched on the ice field, but found nothing.

"Why do you care about this so much?" She looked at the bamboo green figure and asked curiously, "Other monks pay attention to this matter because they think that there may be some blessed place connected to it, and they want to profit from it. I don't think you Interested in this."

"Oh? How do you know I'm not interested?" The man raised his eyebrows, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, which were slightly shallower than ordinary people, "I like things like heaven and earth treasures very much. When you see me, you It's best to keep an eye on the storage ring, lest all the treasures inside be snatched by me."

"If you're interested, I'm not the one sitting here." Mu Yun looked at the exquisite stove in his hand, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips, "If you can give this huge treasure house to someone else, why would you care about those " She raised her hand and said again: "As for the things in this storage ring, they are not mine, you can take them away as you like."

The man gave a "tsk" and waved his hand as if disgusted: "I don't even want to give you a bunch of junk." Then he looked up at the sky and said, "I'm going first, remember to let me know if you find anything." After that, he planned to leave.

Mu Yun saw that the green color that seemed to come from the southern country was about to disappear in the wind and snow, and suddenly said: "Is the Cangwu Sword really with you?"

The man's back paused, and there seemed to be a gloomy look on his delicate face, but the next moment, he clapped his hands and laughed: "So what if you are, so what if you are not?" The voice was calm and breezy, as if What they were talking about was just a dead branch, and the vast snow field was reflected in those slightly cold eyes, which became more and more cold.

Over the past 300 years, Mu Yun has only seen Zhong Mingzhu a few times.

The first time was when Zhong Mingzhu suddenly appeared in front of her when she was healing in Fufenglin.Mu Yun still remembers the suppressed anger in the man's eyes, just a glance made people shudder, for a moment, she even felt that she was going to die at the hands of the other party, and then she heard a bewitching voice: "You have something you want Is it? Whatever it is."

She looked at those shallow eyes that were engraved with coldness but seemed to see through everything, and couldn't help saying three words: "City in the Clouds."

——I want Cloudsdale.

This is a wish that she never dared to mention, even she was afraid to admit.

Because she couldn't practice family-inherited exercises, no one had ever seen her in Yunzhong City, and when she put on a mask and stood in the spotlight, others only saw Ye Chenzhou.

She has replaced Ye Chenzhou for hundreds of years, and can handle every detail properly, even better than the former young master, but when Ye Chenzhou comes back, she will become the daughter of that unknown direct line again.

Zhong Mingzhu smiled: "I can't give you Yunzhongcheng, you can only find a way by yourself, but before that, I can lend you some things."

So Mu Yun obtained the Treasure Pavilion.

After Li Langxuan's death, Ye Lianxi intended to gain access to the Treasure Pavilion, but was secretly destroyed by Zhong Mingzhu. Not only did he fail to win Li Langxuan's power, but even the Nan family, which was originally under his control, left him.All the spirit deeds that sealed the ownership of the Treasure Pavilion fell into Zhong Mingzhu's hands, and then she gave them to Mu Yun as if she couldn't wait to get rid of the trouble.

In addition, Mu Yun also obtained the spiritual vein that was deceived by Zhong Mingzhu back then. She exchanged the spiritual vein for Ye Chenzhou's trust, and gradually gained a firm foothold in both good and evil.

Whether it is power or cultivation, Zhong Mingzhu is not interested, and even rarely asks Mu Yun to do something as a "return". When Mu Yun needed to do something, Xuan Yu and Chi Yu always came.

Afterwards, the few times we met was when Zhenze had a rift, but those few times Zhong Mingzhu was also elusive, and Mu Yun never knew where she came from, nor where she was going.

This time, just like before, Zhong Mingzhu disappeared in the blink of an eye after dropping a few words, the windows were closed again, and the ice and snow in the house were also taken away, as if no one had ever been there.

Mu Yun looked at the vast snow field, sighed softly, and said to himself: "Whether there is or not, it's very tricky."

In the east of Yongzhou, at the foot of Yunfu Mountain, spring is in full swing.

On the mountainside, the fog that had been shrouded for many years suddenly dissipated hundreds of years ago, and the winding path leads to a place that has never shown its appearance. At first, there are lush trees on both sides of the mountain path, and gradually, it turns from green to green. In the end, even the mountain trails disappeared, turning into patches of glaciers.

When the fog first opened, many people at the foot of the mountain were curious to see what was hidden behind the fog, but they were all forced back by the cold.

The seven snow-capped peaks at the highest point exude a frightening chill, making people daunting.

More than 300 years ago, Venerable Guhong dispersed his cultivation and died together with the monks who invaded Yunfu Mountain. He also built a solid barrier outside the seven peaks, sealing the entire Tianyi sect under the ice. Only those with secret orders can enter and exit. The secret orders are under the jurisdiction of the three elders. After the mountain gate was closed, only a few people have left Yunfu Mountain.

From the perspective of the outside world, Tianyi Sect seemed to have completely disappeared.But this does not mean that the Tianyi Sect will be isolated from the world forever. The three elders are closely watching the outside world in order to seek opportunities for a comeback.

Fenghai Building stands at the north end of Taiyi Square, quietly looking into the distance.

Every once in a while, he would stand here, reminding himself of what was lost and what must be regained.

In the past, at the same location, there were layers of green forests, but now there is only a blank white.

The same is true of his expression, the warm jade-like gentleness retreated from his face, replaced by coldness and deepness, the jade crown and purple robe inherited from Yunyi showed his identity as suzerain, decades ago, he was finally able to Breaking through, formally inheriting the position of suzerain, 300 years of penance like a carving knife, cut off his roundness, leaving only sharp edges and corners.

At the beginning, some people always described him and Yun Yi as father and son, because they were similar in temperament, although they were in important positions, they had no airs at all, always smiling, which made people feel close.

He never thought that one day, he would look completely different.Sometimes, even he almost didn't recognize himself.

It's like he never imagined that within a month of leaving, the Tianyi sect would be doomed.At that time, he had just arrived in Yanke, and before he had time to apologize to Ding Lingyun's father and brother, he received an urgent report.

The great formation protecting the mountain was broken, Zhong Mingzhu took away the Cangwu sword, and none of the remaining disciples of Yulong Peak survived.When he first saw the letter, he thought he had read it wrong, or it was some kind of joke.

If only it was a joke.

Zhong Mingzhu, who is Lu Li, is also Qian Mianyan, the mortal enemy of Tian Yizong.And he is the chief culprit who lured the wolf into the house.

After returning to Yunfu Mountain, he once wanted to abolish his cultivation as an apology, but none of his seniors scolded him. Instead, he repeatedly enlightened him, asking him to focus on the overall situation and the ten thousand-year foundation of the Tianyi School.So he gave up his decadent heart and practiced harder and harder, just to break through the solid ice of Yunfu Mountain one day.

But I don't know what year and month I will have to wait——

He sighed softly, looking back, he caught a glimpse of the three characters "Zhenwu Palace" on the top of the main hall, showing pain as if being stabbed.

For tens of thousands of years, so many suzerains have tried their best to comprehend the mystery of the mountain protection formation, but they have found nothing. However, that wolf-minded and ambitious person was able to discover the basalt bone at the foot of Yunfu mountain by chance, thus defeating the Tianyi sect in one fell swoop.

At the beginning, like Yun Yi, he always liked to talk about chance, but now he hates those two words very much.

What a chance, it's just that the Dao of Heaven is blind!

He withdrew his gaze and was about to leave when suddenly a ray of light fell beside him. In the white light, a jade tablet appeared out of thin air, but it was information from outside the mountain.

He held the jade tablet, flicked his fingertips lightly, and the message sealed in the jade tablet was sent to his spiritual sea. Soon, he frowned and said thoughtfully: "Senior Guanyan has also gone. ?”

At this moment, two black figures appeared behind him, one was an old man with white beard and hair, the other was a girl with white hair, they were Mu Danxin and Longtian Li.

Seeing the jade card in Fenghailou's hand and his expression, Longtian Li immediately asked, "What happened?"

Feng Hailou handed over the jade tablet to them, a light flashed in his eyes, and said: "I think, maybe it's time for Tian Yizong to come out of the mountain gate again."

"Oh?" Mu Danxin took the jade tablet first, and after seeing the message in it, a strange expression suddenly appeared, "It's actually in Shuoyuan..."

"Why did Grand Master say that?" Feng Hailou doubted, "Is there anything else in Shuo Yuan?"

Before Mu Danxin had time to answer, there was a sudden violent vibration from the back mountain, as if something had collapsed, and then, a light blue spiritual power gushed out from there, like a flood that broke a bank, covering it in an instant. The entire mountain is unstoppable, almost breaking through the ice and snow barrier.

"What's going on here?" Feng Hailou blurted out, the spiritual power was coming so violently that he was swayed by the bump and almost couldn't stand still.

Mu Danxin and Longtian Li also showed shocking expressions, and then rushed to the back mountain in a blink of an eye. Fenghailou drew out a magic talisman to add a defensive barrier for themselves, and followed closely.

There is a cliff at the back of Tianyi Peak. There is a stone room built there, but it is an ancestral hall. It looks inconspicuous from the outside, but inside it enshrines the jade certificates of all the deceased disciples. Biography, name, birthday, experience, etc., and even portraits.

The jade documents of Yun Yi and Cheng Xun are stored in that stone room, and the same is true of Wu Hui’s disciples who died early. , and then enshrined in the stone chamber, so that their souls will live without worry.

That spiritual power comes from here.

The stone door that had been closed all year round had collapsed and scattered all over the ground like gravel.The stone gate was several feet thick and was polished from the cold stone in the depths of Nanming. Even the red gold magic weapon could only slightly damage the surface, but now it was easily destroyed like a rotten wood that had been hollowed out long ago.

Blasts of cold air radiated from the stone room, and the countless jade documents exuded a gloomy luster, as if there was the other side of the River of Forgetfulness.

In the faint mist, the woman in white knelt in front of a jade tablet, her hair and robe were flying in the surging spiritual power, but she remained motionless, not even the tip of her eyebrows or fingertips trembling, as if she was a statue.

The spiritual power continuously spread out from her body, rolled up the ice and snow on the ground, crushed the solid stones in the way, as if to destroy everything, Mu Danxin and Longtian carp looked at each other and recited the mantra at the same time, the same light blue enchantment Unfolding slowly, it surrounded the stone room and locked the spirit power that had surged wantonly before.

I saw the aura in the enchantment layered on top of each other, becoming more and more intense. After a while, the bright light swallowed the entire ancestral hall, and then condensed into a stream of light in an instant, sinking into the woman's body.

Then, amid the sound of the barrier shattering, the woman in white opened her eyes. Her pitch-black eyes looked like a starless night, even darker than an ancestral hall that never sees the sun all year round.

There are still a few rays of light from the outside world in the stone room, but there is almost no light in her eyes, purer than the thick ink drained of water, no joy, no anger, no sorrow, no joy, nothing, only to be with you. The emptiness and tranquility after everything is isolated.

She stood up slowly, the shackles on her hands and feet made a few muffled sounds, but soon there was no more sound.

Dark powder slowly sprinkled from the shackles, and when she turned to look outside, the thick red gold shackles had all been turned into powder.
