Yu Hongchen

Master Qingyang directly led Shang Lihang to Kaiyuan Pavilion.

Shang Lixing followed behind, and when he saw Master Qingyang pinching Fajue, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Stretching in front of the two of them was a huge magic circle emitting a little bit of fluorescence.

"Master, this is?" Shang Lixing had a keen sense of smell, and instantly noticed an unusual aura in the air.

Master Qingyang looked at the huge monster in front of him with a faint expression: "Li Xing, do you still remember the battle between the human race and the demon race 300 years ago?"

Shang Lixing nodded: "I remember." He recalled a little bit, "The demons launched a war 350 years ago and attacked the demons. The demons were destroyed and hid in the world; 300 years ago, the demons took the opportunity to cross the sea and expedition to Nanling Fighting all the way from Nanling to Dongdao, the human race resisted tenaciously. Wu Nian and I established Qiushuimen to call on the world's casual cultivators to fight against the demons; The remaining demons were driven to Hokuriku, and restrictions were set up in Hokuriku, and the demons and beasts were besieged in Hokuriku, and the 290-year turmoil in Silu was quelled."

Master Qingyang praised: "You have a very good memory, you still remember these old things."

Shang Lixing said: "What the head wants to say is related to this?"

Master Qingyang said: "Yes, it is indeed related to the demon race." He waved his hand to signal Shang Li to come over, "You know, there is a very terrifying big demon trapped in this magic circle."

Shang Lixing took a few steps forward, looked at the magic circle in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "The devil, could it be—"

Master Qingyang raised his white eyebrows, and sighed in a low voice: "What is locked inside is the source of the evil that caused the turmoil of hundreds of thousands of people on the four lands."

Shang Lixing said in amazement: "Could it be - Mozun Mingtian! Didn't he die 290 years ago?"

"That's right, the demon king Mingtian is indeed imprisoned here." Master Qingyang turned his head to look at Shang Lixing, "It was true that Mingtian was beaten to death by me back then, but he never died."

Shang Lixing was already full of doubts in his heart, and Master Qingyang continued: "In order to appease the entire human race, and also to restrain the demon's eager heart, I had to lie that the demon was dead, and imprisoned him in the murderous place. In the formation. Only me and a few elders know about this matter in the whole world, and now, there is one more you."

Shang Lixing thought about it, and after a few ponderings, he quickly regained his composure, and said, "Then why did the leader choose to tell me this matter at this time? Could it be?"

Qingyang real person said: "If the situation is not urgent, I don't want to let one more person know about it. Judging from the actions of the demons over the years, I suspect that they have already learned about the fact that the demon is not dead, and they plan to kill people. Rescue Yunshan and plan to make a comeback."

As he said this, he opened a small opening on the magic circle and let Shang Lixing take a step forward to see the person trapped in it—half body lying in a water-colored magic circle, surrounded by thick black There is a deep evil atmosphere, and the dark and unclear facial features are hidden in it, and the array of lights can't illuminate it at all.Just looking at it can take your breath away.

Master Qingyang said again: "The demon clan was born in a barren land, and its people are evil spirits and ghosts, practicing all kinds of weird methods. Back then, I was not completely sure that I could kill him, so I chose a more roundabout way to kill them after a lot of consideration. Ji——just seriously injured him and locked him up. Judging from Mingtian's injuries at the time, he was trapped in the phantom killing array for only 150 years, but he has been trapped for a full 290 years, and he is still alive , and there is no sign of life decay at all, during this period of time, there is a steady stream of vitality pouring into it, I am afraid that if you don't stop it, you will live in a few days."

Shang Lixing Zhiyi pondered: "It seems that someone is secretly saving him."

Daoist Qingyang nodded, with a bit of worry in his expression: "That's right. You are proficient in all kinds of magic circles, you should know better than me. There is a large guarding circle on Yunshan Mountain that is isolated from the outside, and there are still people who can send life to Ming without anyone noticing." God, so..."

Shang Lixing continued: "So the head suspects that there are demon spies in the door?" Speaking of this, he thought of the somewhat childish Junior Brother Xie, and subconsciously said: "That's not entirely true. The head also knows that the Mozu There are so many ways to practice, maybe there is a kind of sorcery that can infuse true energy through space without being restricted by any space, if so, it may be hard to find."

Master Qingyang's expression became more dignified when he heard this.If you can't catch people, you won't be able to cut off the vitality of Mingtian, and even make it possible for Mingtian to come back to life. At that time, the entire human race will be involved in endless turmoil.

Shang Lixing thought for a moment, and offered a plan: "I have a way to find out the person hiding in the darkness, but I don't know if the head is willing to take this risk."

Master Qingyang wondered: "What method, you can tell."

Shang Lixing said: "It's better to lure the snake out of its hole than to sit and wait for death."

Master Qingyang asked suspiciously: "You mean—"

Shang Lixing continued to explain: "Now that the demons know that Mingtian is still alive, they have not taken any offensive. It can be seen that only a small number of people know about this. I guess this should be an internal secret of the demons. Instead of letting the demons use this In order to restrain our actions, it is better for us to act first and take the initiative to spread the truth that the Demon Lord is not dead. As long as the Demon Race catches the wind, it will not be difficult for us to catch people."

Master Qingyang shook his head violently: "No, no, you also know that Mingtian has a very high status in the demon race, and demons have always been fierce and tyrannical. If you hear that Mingtian is not dead, what if you attack Yunshan together? ? This move is too risky, Yunshan Sword Sect will not take it."

Shang Lixing reassured: "Listen to me, head. Spreading the news that Ming Tian is still alive does not mean telling the demons that Ming Tian is imprisoned in Yunshan." He paused for a moment, showing a faint smile , "The real is false, and the false is real. If we don't clearly inform Mingtian of the place of imprisonment, but spread a lot of messages that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, one can find the person behind it, and two can distract the attention of the demons." Force, break down one by one."

Master Qingyang still said apprehensively: "Are you really sure that you won't involve Yunshan Sword Sect?"

"Of course," Shang Lixing said with a smile, "Master, don't forget that Qiushuimen's disciples are spread all over the world. It's the easiest way to spread some fake news. Before the demons died down, I was still thinking How to lure them out, now just has this opportunity. For the Demon Race, the death of the Demon Venerable was always a great shame in their hearts. The news must be exciting, and this time is also a good time for us to make a move."

Master Qingyang listened, nodded and said: "That's true, the demons must have heard the news, and we just took the opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop." Then he said seriously: "If that's the case, then leave this matter to your disciples. Remember, the more muddled this matter is, the better."

Shang Lixing replied with a smile: "Okay."

Afterwards, the two discussed some countermeasures, one of them explained his thoughts, and the other added from the side. Before he knew it, it was noon, and a disciple greeted him in the front hall, asking the headmaster to handle the affairs.

Master Qingyang solved the serious problem in his heart, and his mood improved accordingly. He went to the main hall to deal with the mundane affairs, and only let Shang Lixing walk around the door by himself.

Shang Lixing has known Yunshan Sword Sect for a long time, in terms of familiarity with Yunshan, he is not much more familiar than ordinary disciples, and he is not overly polite at the moment, walking around leisurely.He had an outstanding figure, with a smile on his face, and soon he was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic young disciples.

"Where does Senior Brother Shang want to go shopping? We'll take you there."

"Senior Brother Shang is more familiar with Yunshan than you, so you still need to lead the way?"

Shang Lixing didn't want to delay the cultivation of Yunshan disciples, so he spoke softly and politely declined the kind invitation of all the juniors and sisters.

Having said that, the disciples stopped entanglement too much, and reluctantly left after saying hello, only sighs of regret were heard in the wind.

……

Shang Li walked to the back mountain, climbed up the huge rock overlooking the sea, a gust of sea breeze blew, closed his eyes deeply, and felt refreshed and refreshed all over his body for a moment.He lowered his head and noticed that there were a few sword marks left on the stone wall at his feet. They were light and white, mottled and messy. Judging from the marks, they should have been left not long ago.

Like a ghost, a strange idea suddenly hit my heart.Looking at the countless sword masters of Yunshan Sword Sect, there are not a few with outstanding talents, but there are very few sword masters who can truly discover the potential of sword practice here.Back then, he also climbed onto this stone by accident, only to find that this place was a good place to hone his sword intent with howling winds.Few people come up to Guancang Sea all the year round, let alone leave sword marks on the boulders.Which monk will it be?

Thinking this way, Shang Lixing unconsciously walked up the mountain path to Leiluo Peak.When he came back to his senses, he remembered that Junior Brother Xie seemed to be living here, should he go up and say hello?

He only stood at the foot of the mountain for a moment and then walked away slowly. After walking four or five steps, he turned around again, bypassed the weeds at the foot of the mountain, and turned to Leiluo Peak. .

At first I thought it would be abrupt to meet at home without notification, but when I thought of Junior Brother Xie's innocent youthful appearance, I found it very interesting, so I went to Leiluo Peak enthusiastically.

What kind of surprised expression will Junior Brother Xie show when he sees himself appearing unexpectedly?

It's just that when he climbed to Leiluo Peak, all the thoughts in his mind suddenly vanished:

The mountain in front of me is still in front of me; the person who should be in front of me is no longer in front of me.

The two originally low wooden houses were burned to ashes, and the ashes of plants and trees drifted to the ground with the wind. At a glance, there was only a bamboo forest behind the houses, and there was no one in sight.

Shang Lixing stood in front of the bamboo forest, dazed for a long time, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and he understood everything in an instant. It turned out that this was what the head said just now that the real murderer had been dealt with. place?Is it dead?

Shang Lixing suddenly felt a sense of loss, he had no time to appreciate the scenery of the bamboo forest and mountain, and went down the mountain in a trance, at the foot of the mountain, he met a disciple of Xuanhe Peak sent by the head of the mountain. Brother Shang discusses.

He had no choice but to let go of his chaotic thoughts for the time being, and followed the disciples who came to step into the main hall of Xuanhe Peak again. When he arrived at the main hall, he realized that it was Master Qingyang who was restless when he was handling the affairs of the sect, and thought of guarding the demon king again. There are many loopholes in the magic circle, and he proposed to ask Shang Lixing to repair the magic circle for him to prevent Mingtian from accidentally escaping.Shang Lihang naturally agreed, and followed Master Qingyang to stay at Xuanhe Peak for three days, repairing and perfecting the magic circle.During this period, he hesitated to speak several times, and wanted to ask Master Xuansi about the whereabouts of his master and apprentice, but seeing Master Qingyang's serious face, he couldn't ask in the end.

On the day of leaving Yunshan, with the exhortations and care of Master Qingyang, he left slowly under the reluctant eyes of all the disciples.

When I came, I was full of anticipation, like random flowers and catkins filled my body and mind. When I went, I was full of disappointment and sadness, and the fallen leaves were withered and yellow.

However, an inexplicably received secret interrogation order on the way came suddenly, like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves, instantly driving away the haze in my heart.
