There are bandits in Zhongshan

The lake-green dress trailed her, and her figure was light and agile, just like a goddess recorded in ancient books, but the expression on her face was not elegant and generous, but rather annoyed.

It was Ruoye who followed the tit all the way to this point. She found signs of someone setting up an enchantment here, so she came to find out. Unexpectedly, she ran into an old acquaintance, the kind she didn't really want to see.

After Zhong Mingzhu recognized the person, he let out a sigh of relief, and wiped his forehead. He put down his hand when he found that he was not breaking out in a cold sweat. He hooked the corner of his mouth and showed a lukewarm smile: "I just want to ask, you Are you following me?"

These words were said by Ruoye when they reunited on the outskirts of Yanyue, and Zhong Mingzhu learned every single word, which is very consistent with the scene at this time.If you want to add the word "tracking", it is natural that the follower comes first.

"Bah!" Ruoye poked her neck and wanted to refute, but her eloquence was not as good as Zhong Mingzhu's after all, and she couldn't think of any murderous words. After holding it in for a long time, the flame went out without knowing it, and finally said dejectedly, "I didn't follow you." .”

"Well, I think so." Zhong Mingzhu nodded seriously, looking very sincere, but quickly said, "With your ability, it is still a bit difficult to follow me."

"Hey you, do you still have a conscience?" After not seeing each other for several months, Ruoye was still blushing and jumping in anger after a few words from Zhong Mingzhu.

Seeing that she was so angry that her teeth were itching and that she couldn't take action to teach others because of her upbringing, Zhong Mingzhu suddenly felt in a good mood, and the previous nervousness and anxiety were reduced by most.

On the one hand, she had endured Cheng Xun's reprimand for so long and had already suppressed her anger. After teasing Ruoye, the anger in her stomach dissipated. On the other hand, the arrival of Ruoye meant that she had an extra powerful helper. , There is no reason not to send it to your door.

But she was still a little puzzled and asked, "Why did you come here?"

"I'm here to find someone." Ruoye frowned and said distressedly, "Have you seen a red tit with the same body, it's about this big."

She made gestures as she spoke.

Zhong Mingzhu raised his eyebrows, and slowly said in a mocking tone that Ruoye was very familiar with: "What are you looking for for a tit? Do you want to give your Ayun a gift?"

When Ayun was mentioned, Ruoye's expression darkened immediately. She glanced at Zhong Mingzhu and thought: Although this person is not a good person, but she has a lot of bad ideas. If she hadn't been there to mediate before, Ayun would have There is no escape, and maybe she will have some way to help me this time.

After making up her mind, she told Zhong Mingzhu everything that happened after leaving Heishuiling, but omitted Ayun's real identity. She tried to keep the story short, so she didn't notice the change in Zhong Mingzhu's eyes. Fleeting cunning.

"I couldn't get across Suo Xingyuan, so I had to come and chase them, but when I got near this tower, I was slipped away by that guy again." Ruoye said angrily, and finally waved his fist, chanting like a poisonous curse , "If I catch him, I will definitely rip off his hair!"

"Pull your hair off?" Zhong Mingzhu smiled slightly, "It seems that you have indeed suffered a lot."

That's what she said, but there was no worry in her tone, on the contrary, she was gloating.

"So is there any way you can find that tit?"

"Yes, yes." Zhong Mingzhu nodded, seeing that Ruoye was about to rush over with a light cheer, she quickly pushed him away, and said seriously, "But I have conditions."

Ruoye's expression immediately collapsed, he muttered "I knew it", and then reluctantly asked: "What conditions? Magical artifacts and the like are all in Ayun's storage ring. I don't have anything here. Liuhe Qingfeng didn't take it back either."

"I don't want your magic weapon." Zhong Mingzhu interrupted her rambling, but Ruoye showed a more guarded look. It seemed that she had decided that not using the magic weapon meant that the conditions would be more stringent, so she snorted coldly , resisting the urge to say a few more harsh words, and said patiently, "My master is trapped nearby, and I want you to help me find her."

"Your master is here too?" Ruoye's first reaction was to look around, but it was only later that she realized that Changli was trapped, and she shouldn't be able to find it, so she turned her gaze away and accidentally caught a glimpse of the spirit pattern on the wall , then involuntarily looked up along the direction of the spirit pattern.

Suddenly, an exclamation came out, her expression changed, confusion and shock were mixed together, people could tell what she saw at a glance.

Zhong Mingzhu naturally noticed it, and she asked calmly, "What's wrong with you?"

"That mirror..." Ruoye murmured, as if lost in thought, "Why is it here..."

In the pitch-black mirror surface, there is no luster at all, as if it can swallow everything.

In the deathly silence, the mist curled up, like a dream but not a dream, the hazy light and shadow flickered, and the loud noise made the fog gradually dissipate.

On the plain, the two armies confronted each other, and the sound of drums, blades, and screams mixed together, painting a whole volume of blood.

One of the chaotic troops charged forward and unknowingly broke into the depths of the enemy's formation. With a knife in his hand, the enemy fell to the ground one after another. He fought a bloody road by himself. Seeing the enemy's commander in front of him, he wanted to ride his horse Suddenly, an arrow pierced through the air from behind and hit the rider's chest.

The rider looked down at the arrow protruding from his chest, swayed and fell off the horse, his eyes lost all expression when he fell to the ground.

One hit kill.

The blood-stained scroll was torn apart in an instant, turning into butterflies flying all over the sky, kneading hundreds of colors in one place, the noise receded, and it returned to a deathly tranquility.

Chang Li opened her eyes suddenly, and a slightly hasty voice rang in her ears. She looked around blankly, and it took her a long time to realize that it was her own heartbeat.

Touching her chest, she remembered the place where she was last pierced by the sharp arrow, which was intact, but she clearly remembered the coldness and stinging pain of the sharp weapon piercing her heart.

I am dead?

She clenched the fabric on her chest, recalled the last scene she saw, and then slowly shook her head—she didn't die, she just witnessed death.

Just like when she was first trapped here, she saw the phantom of a baby being born. This time she saw the rider who died in the rebellion. Before that, she also saw the scholar who was studying hard in the cold window, dying The elderly, even porters and peddlers, all kinds of people are performing the world in front of her eyes. She can't escape this illusion and can only watch again and again.

wrong.

Just now she seemed to be the rider, the bumpy horseback, the rushing blood, all these perceptions were so real, as if she had experienced it herself, she fought bloody in the enemy's line, and finally died of the cold arrow that struck from the dark.

What exactly happened here?

who am I?

This idea suddenly entered her mind, and the doubts in her eyes became more and more intense, but she didn't have the time to think at all.

Soon, water ripples appeared under her feet again, pulling her into a new illusion.

The shadow of the sword is vivid, and the shallow blue aura lingers, like moonlight, like water light, it is just a blurry shadow from a distance, but Fang Jue's unstoppable biting aura when approaching.

Yu Yuan looked at the sword shadow intently, and the phantom shadow transformed into a long sword in her palm. In an instant, the whole mountain seemed to be brought into the realm of selflessness, and it was about to be separated from the world, but this feeling only lasted After a short moment, Yu Yuan let go of her hand, and the sword-like green light in her hand turned back into a blurred shadow.

She looked at the sword shadow that seemed to dissipate at any moment, and sighed softly.

Except for Ji Qiancheng, the dozen or so people who formed a contract with her at the beginning all stood respectfully behind her. When the sword shadow turned into a sword in the palm of Fairy Yuyuan, they could hardly contain the ecstasy in their hearts. After the glow dissipated, the look in their eyes darkened suddenly, and several of them even shook their heads in annoyance.

"As you can see, it's not that I'm fooling you, but that I really can't do it." Fairy Yuyuan glanced at them and said calmly, "If anyone is unwilling, you can come and try it yourself."

Not long ago, these few people heard about Ji Qiancheng's movements, so they met to ask about the reason. Yu Yuan didn't hide it, but told them that the one who would inherit the power of the sword of heaven would be the elder who was born with the body of a sword spirit. After hearing this, they unanimously questioned why such a big task was entrusted to a monk who was only in the Nascent Soul stage.

——It doesn't matter how talented she is, anyone present can knock her out of her wits at the flick of a finger.

In order to convince them, Yu Yuan tamed the sword shadow himself. Sure enough, with a cultivation level as deep as hers, it could only last for a while.

And this is just the shadow of the sword, not the real sword of heaven.

"There are millions of monks in the cultivation world, and there are many masters. Is it true that only Chang Li can take on this great task?" Some people still don't give up.

Yu Yuan said: "The world is so big, she may not be the only one who can reach the power of the sword. In ancient times, the sword fairy also opened the way to ascend, but now I know that she is the only one." She glanced around With hesitation and embarrassment on everyone's face, he said again: "If you have a better candidate, you can tell me."

Naturally, there would be no candidates. Looking at the millions of monks at that time, how could anyone be more talented than Chang Li?Even if there is, it is hidden in an unknown place, where can they find it.

"But Changli is a disciple of Tianyi Sect." The one who spoke was Guanyan of Qingwei Sect. Qingwei Sect had a good relationship with Tianyi Sect at one time, but now he said it as if he was mentioning an unrelated and unfamiliar sect, " Yun Yi is unwilling to form a contract with the fairy, how can his disciples be willing to work for the fairy?"

"You don't know about that." Fairy Yuyuan smiled slightly, looking confident, "The rules and regulations of the family are all mortal patterns. When she reaches a higher level, she will naturally jump out of this situation, and what she looks at will be The entire Three Realms."

Guan Yan thought for a while, then asked uncertainly: "Does it mean that she will cut off the relationship with Tian Yizong?" After finishing speaking, he felt something was wrong, and murmured: "Isn't this a way to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors?" mortal sin?"

"Because you are still in the game, you think so." Fairy Yu Yuan shook her head, with a trace of disappointment and pity in her eyes, "What is the way of heaven? Life, death, blessings, disasters, everything you and I have seen, It's all under heaven."

The way of heaven is neither good nor evil, ruthless and desireless, and has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth.

"But why was there the disaster of heaven? Now we are not allowed to disturb the mortal world, isn't it because of the restriction of heaven?" It was Long Jiu who spoke.

"There are only legends about the ancient things, so who can say that it is the responsibility of heaven and not man-made?" Yu Yuan paused, and waited for those people to think for a while before continuing, "Don't disturb The mortal world is not so much controlled by the way of heaven, but rather controlled by the contract between the cultivator who crossed the catastrophe and the way of heaven. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of personnel."

Everyone seemed to be persuaded by her, and the originally anxious atmosphere gradually calmed down, but after a while, someone said worriedly: "It will be more than 300 years before the appearance of the Sumeru Sea, and Fairy Changli is only 600 years old at that time, so it is really too late." ?"

The dozen or so people present have stayed in the late stage of transformation for hundreds of years. The next appearance of the Sumeru Sea is their last chance to break through. If they still get nothing at that time, they don't have enough lifespan to last another 500 years.

With Changli's aptitude, it is not impossible to break through to the realm of transforming gods after 300 years, but they still have some doubts about inheriting the sword power of heaven.

What can one do with less than 700 years of cultivation?It took thousands of years for the sword fairy to comprehend some fur.

"Your worries are exactly what I was worried about." Yu Yuan flicked his sleeves, and his spiritual power condensed into a blue-black tower, floating beside her hand, "That's why there is that tower."

Some people wondered: "What kind of tower is this?" Several people frowned and began to recall whether they had seen it before.

"This is a tower built near a mortal town." As soon as Yu Yuan said this, everyone else looked puzzled, but she ignored it and continued, "In order to prevent the body of the sword spirit from becoming a mortal The disturbance made her keep away from foreign things and have no distracting thoughts since she was a child. In this way, she was able to form a Nascent Soul in just 200 years. But this is not a long-term solution. If you want to get something, you must first I have seen and heard. Even with excellent painting skills, people who have not seen thousands of miles of mountains and rivers cannot draw a picture of mountains and rivers on a roll of white paper out of thin air. And how can I get out of it. Changli went down the mountain this time to seek a breakthrough. With her aptitude, she must achieve great success, but it may take a thousand years. It is too long. You can't wait, and I can't wait, so I specially prepared a trial place for her."

The reason she said is not difficult to understand. The cultivation methods of all sects actually follow this principle. After a period of time, the disciples will be sent down the mountain to travel, so that they can learn more.

"I don't know what is the mystery in this tower?" Guan Yan asked cautiously.

Yu Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "There is a secret treasure in Tazhong Town, and she will go through countless reincarnations there."

One hundred years in the world may experience more rich things than a monk's thousand years of experience.

"Now her heart is blank. In that tower, she will experience life, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, and all the blessings and sufferings in the world. She will taste one by one. Get it, and then give it up. When she breaks through the shackles of the pattern, everything will return to nothing, and that is when she breaks out of the tower." Yu Yuan said meaningfully, "The reincarnation in the tower is only a moment away from the outside world, and at most a hundred years, she will be able to comprehend the highest level. reason."

In the end, she no longer restrained the excitement in her tone, her spiritual energy was shaking, and gusts of wind were blown up, making everyone present almost unsteady: "At that time, the revival of this world will be just around the corner!"

Everyone was infected by her, their worries were swept away, and joy appeared on their faces. Among them, Long Jiu asked eagerly: "I don't know what this secret treasure is? It can be so powerful?"

Yu Yuan replied loudly: "This is an ancient relic."
