In the darkness of the night, more than a dozen figures with swords came galloping towards them.
Halfway up the mountainside of Qianji Peak, outside the fence of Baicaotang, Ji Han and Xian Chengyu looked at each other with helpless expressions. Suddenly, several more figures descended from the sky. The two of them stared slightly, and hurriedly raised their hands to salute: "Elder... Sect Master..."
It turned out to be Ying Ling, Fangyuan, Qi Shang, Lang Wei and other four Nascent Soul elders. Then another old man fell down. Although not as imposing as the elders, he was even more unfathomable. It was Tianji Sect. The master of the sect is Tian Juezi.
At the same time, more than a dozen Jindan disciples had flown closer, then spread out and circled with their swords, already surrounding the entire Tianji Peak.
"Ji Han, you are the disciple in charge of the outer sect. Why are you and Xian Cheng here so late at night?"
The person who asked the question was Elder Ying Ling.
Ji Han and Xian Cheng hurriedly saluted again and said respectfully: "The two of us were busy with chores in the kitchen. It was late at night when we returned. Suddenly we saw someone rushing to the back mountain, so we hurriedly chased him to see what happened."
"Oh, did you see the thief?"
"Never."
"hehe!"
When Ying Ling pressed him for questioning, Tian Juezi twirled his beard and said with a smile: "The two disciples are concerned about the safety of the Immortal Sect. Their loyalty is commendable!" He left a word of praise, showing the tolerance and magnanimity of an expert, and then gently He flicked his sleeves and walked into the small fenced courtyard.
Ji Han and Xian Cheng quietly exchanged glances and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Juezi walked slowly across the yard, smelling the rich fragrance of flowers, nodded slightly and said, "Well, Qiu He is quite good at playing with flowers and plants!"
Under the mountain wall with the words Baicaotang engraved on it is the cave where Qiu He lives. At this time, the cave door is wide open, and a faint pearl light can be seen inside the cave.
.
Tian Juezi walked into the cave and called out: "Qiu He, I see you are here..."
There was an old man sitting in the cave. His beard and hair were silver, his eyes were hollow, his face was ashen, and a streak of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He was the owner of this place, Qiu He. There was another young man lying on the ground, his brain had burst and he had been dead for a long time.
Tian Juezi paused at his feet and said unexpectedly: "Oh, how could you kill your own apprentice? He has been here with you for many years, how can you bear it!"
"hehe……"
Qiu He laughed miserably, and a large mouthful of blood spilled from his mouth. He paused for a moment and said, "I accepted Bian Xin as my disciple to help him improve his cultivation. He spent time with me and shared the joys and sorrows with me. I really couldn't bear to part with this disciple, so I took him to be my companion on the journey of reincarnation!"
"Alas, you are blind and ruthless!"
"Humph, although my eyes are blind, my heart is like a clear mirror!"
"oh?"
"My senior brother's whereabouts are unknown, and I am the only person implicated. You, Tian Juezi, have set up a network in Tianji Peak. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, you have sent people to entangle you many times. In the end, I left Bian Xin behind. It was nothing more than an expedient measure. .And even though I killed Bian Xin, how can you, Tian Juezi, not be a murderer!"
"It's rare for your heart to be like a clear mirror, so why did you cut off your heart?"
"You destroyed my eyes and the foundation of my cultivation. Now that my life is about to expire, instead of dying in humiliation, it is better...it is better to take...a step first..."
"Why bother!"
Tian Juezi's words were full of regret and helplessness, and he said: "And tonight you also saw the person you wanted to see, which is enough to rest in peace!"
He shook his head, turned around and walked out of the cave.
Qiu He still stared with empty eyes, but his life was gone.
Absolutely, the dead souls are gone...
The flowers and plants in the courtyard are fragrant and attractive.
Tian Juezi smelled the fragrance of flowers and walked outside the courtyard.
In the open space outside the courtyard, two dead bodies were lying, one was Ji Han and the other was Xian Cheng.
"Tsk, tsk, these two disciples are worthy of death!"
Tian Juezi complained to Ying Ling and others, and stood up in the air. When he left, he said with pity: "It was Qiu He's hard work to transplant the elixir from Baicaotang to Zixiao Pavilion. Don't waste it..."
…
Moon Lake is a large lake on the north side of the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain.
On the hillsides on both sides of the lake, there are caves of various sizes, which are the caves of the disciples.
At this time, two figures quietly sneaked into a cave on the west bank.
"Junior Brother Yu..."
"Wait a minute, I remember that Senior Brother Cheng was in danger in Luo Lei Valley..."
"Although I was in danger at the time, my physical body was still alive. I went back to the mountain to retreat for three years, and I was lucky enough to save my life!"
"oh……"
"The mountain gate has been closed, and the security inside and outside is tight. It is difficult for you to escape for the time being, and you should take shelter in my cave for a while."
"But I'm afraid that my senior brother will be implicated!"
"It's okay, you can stay here peacefully while I go out to check. I hope Ji Han and Xian Cheng are safe and sound!"
"Thank you for your hard work, senior brother!"
Cheng Shi gave a brief explanation, hurriedly walked out of the cave, and sealed the door, apparently fearing that the news would leak out.
Yu Ye stayed alone in the cave, reaching out and scratching his chin. He was upset for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.
What happened tonight?
Sneaking into Tianzhu Mountain this time went smoothly, but while wandering around and bumping around, he unexpectedly met Qiu He himself, and uncovered a truth that he had been looking for so long. Before he could sort out that old past, he suddenly... His whereabouts were revealed, and then he met
The three friends arrived and hurriedly hid in the cave.
Tian Juezi did not let Qiu He go. From the day he was banned from Qianji Peak, his every move was under surveillance.
As expected, he is an expert in transforming spirits, and he acts meticulously without leaving any flaws.
Qiu He and Qiu Bo were brothers. If Qiu Bo knew that Qiu He had lost his eyesight and suffered imprisonment because of him, he would definitely try to find his junior brother once he returned to Yanzhou. There is no doubt that this method works. In the wild, he got into a trap due to a combination of circumstances and fell into a trap that had been set up for more than two hundred years.
Fortunately, three friends stepped forward to help, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
Ji Han and Xian Cheng were once saved by him and had a life-long friendship with him.
Cheng Shi, guarding Puze together, and travel around together. They get along well with each other and are also trustworthy friends. And after so many years, I almost forgot that he was in danger in Luo Lei Valley. Maybe he didn't see it clearly in the rush, but he was lucky!
But now that the matter has come to an end, let's hide for two days, wait until the limelight is over, and then leave.
Yu Ye walked around the cave and sat down on the spot.
Cheng Shi's cave is almost the same as his former residence. The place is small, the furnishings are simple, and it is fresh and clean.
Yu Ye formed a seal with his hands and wanted to rest for a while.
Before he could enter meditation, a line of writing appeared before his eyes again: Those who open the Netherworld will die.
If opening the Netherworld was a dead end, why did Shenjizi go to other areas of the world several times without any harm? According to Qing Luo, there are countless opportunities outside the territory, and her master has made many gains. If this is the case, why does Shen Jizi insist on closing the Nether Gate at the expense of offending the five immortal gates?
Well, what exactly is the case? Maybe only Shen Jizi himself
Know.
If he had twelve artifacts in his hands, would he dare to risk his life and death to open the Netherworld?
have no idea!
And it's not easy to gather the artifacts. It's useless to think about it now!
Yu Ye gathered his thoughts and looked to the left and right again.
Although Cheng Shi's cave is sealed with restrictions, there is nothing unusual about it. He can break out of the restrictions at any time...
Two hours passed.
The cave door restrictions opened, and a figure flashed in.
Yu Ye opened his eyes from sitting quietly.
It was Cheng Shi. I had been in such a hurry that I had not noticed it before, but now I saw that his appearance had not changed, but he had gained an inexplicable aura. And his cultivation level has also been improved to the perfection of Jindan, which is only half a step away from the Nascent Soul realm.
"Senior Brother Cheng?"
Yu Ye stood up to greet him.
"Junior Brother Yu!"
Cheng Shi seemed to be relieved and said: "It's already dawn and the mountain protection formation has been activated. You can't escape for a moment and wait patiently here. And I am responsible for patrolling the mountain and I dare not leave the guard without authorization. But there is a chance of improvement. I will take you out of the mountain immediately!"
"Well, Senior Brother Cheng..."
"Excuse me!"
Yu Ye was about to ask about the whereabouts of Heshan and others, as well as the safety of Qiu He, Ji Han, and Xian Cheng, but Cheng Shi turned around and left with a solemn expression.
Well, it seems that the entire Tianzhu Mountain is on high alert. Senior Brother Cheng is taking huge risks by hiding himself here. Don't put him in trouble, just wait patiently!
Yu Ye stretched his sleeves, sat down in a circle, and wanted to breathe in and out, but he still felt uneasy. Various events were intertwined and complicated, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply started studying the magic cultivation inheritance of Shenjizi.
The so-called inheritance is that Shen Jizi sealed his demonic cultivation, realm perception, and magical powers in the underworld bead with underworld energy, so that the younger disciples can absorb it into the body.
For your own use. It sounds simple, but absorbing the Ming Pearl took him more than sixty years of hard work.
Yu Ye didn't care about the dual cultivation of demons. He was more concerned about the Seven Kills Sword Technique and the Heavenly Demonic Forbidden Technique!
His Seven Kills Sword Technique was taught by Qing Luo. Although their foundations are completely different, they are also of the same origin.
The cultivation methods of Tianmojin and Tianjin are similar. They may be related to each other, but they are different. The Heavenly Forbidden Technique is divided into seven methods of trapping, forbidden, confusing, divine, ghost, refining, and killing, and thousands of forbidden variations; the Heavenly Demonic Forbidden Technique has only one type, which is the Heavenly Demonic Forbidden Technique, which is divided into nine realms and has different levels of power. Multiply.
According to what Qing Luo recounted from her master, those with advanced realms of heavenly demon confinement are like being possessed by heavenly demons, which can trap all things and kill ghosts and gods. And what the real power is is unknown.
While waiting, the hours pass by...
At about midnight, the ban on the cave door was finally opened again. Cheng Shi hurriedly walked in and urged: "I will guard the mountain gate tonight. Don't miss this opportunity. Let's go -"
The nights are long and the dreams are many, so walking is the best option!
Yu Ye did not dare to neglect, stood up and responded, reaching out to touch the fox face on his face, and took a token from Cheng Shi and tied it around his waist.
Walking out of the cave, the surroundings were pitch black, the lake was calm, and the thick night seemed unusually quiet.
Yu Ye and Cheng Shi stepped on the sword light and swept across the lake one after another.
In a short time, we arrived at the gate of Qianshan.
A group of disciples appeared to stop him. After recognizing Cheng Shi, they all raised their hands to salute and opened the mountain gate. One of the Jindan disciples reminded: "Several elders are patrolling the mountain tonight. Senior Brother Cheng must not stay away, otherwise we will have trouble explaining!"
Cheng Shi took Yu Ye through the mountain gate, and then
He stepped on the sword and stood up. Along the way, he kept encountering disciples patrolling the mountain, and he was responsible for dealing with them.
Flying dozens of miles in an instant.
A mountain forest appeared ahead.
Cheng Shi looked around and took Yu Ye into hiding in the forest.
More than a hundred feet away, there is a hidden cave entrance.
Cheng Shi walked into the cave and sent a message: "Junior brother Yu, please wait here for a while and wait for an opportunity to leave before dawn. It is not convenient for me to send you far, so I say goodbye..."
He escaped from Tianzhu Mountain easily, which was somewhat unexpected.
Yu Ye walked into the cave and looked around for a while, then said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Cheng, stay here. I have something to ask..."
When he turned around, his expression changed.
