Standing on the cliff of Wangchuan, looking at the blood-yellow Xiaowangchuan River at the bottom of the valley, Li Chaoyi put away those memories and reveries.
On the way here, he had already roughly told Xiao Qianjun the story of Axiao.
At this time, through the eyes of the sword, Xiao Qianjun also looked down at the blood-yellow river that was rumored to be kept away from the living and the dead would not return. He asked tenderly: "Elder brother, has Uncle Axiao really fallen?"
She didn't want to believe this from the bottom of her heart. After all, Axiao hadn't taught her senior brother the invincible sword yet.
Li Xianyue said, "You'll know just by looking at it."
"What do you think?"
Li Chaoyi held Xiao Qianjun's little hand, and then his whole figure became erratic and illusory, blending into the whole world.
[Induction from Heaven and Man], Li Qianyi once again used this great magical power of Confucianism to connect with heaven and earth.
Xiao Qianjun only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he and his senior brother left the Wangchuan Cliff Grand Canyon and came to a cold and dark world.
"Elder brother, where is this?"
Xiao Qianjun looked around and saw corpses and bones everywhere, and various lonely ghosts could be vaguely seen floating in the distance.
Looking up to the sky, it was shrouded in mist, and the sun, moon, stars, and vast blue sky were not visible. Instead, there were dense clouds of blood and blood, as if a pouring rain of blood would fall at any time.
"How terrible!"
Xiao Qianjun muttered again and tightly tugged on the senior brother's sleeve. If the senior brother hadn't been there, she might have cried directly.
Li Xianyue looked at this strange, cold and dark world, and was a little surprised.
I didn’t expect to come here after using [Heaven Sensation] and watching the scene of A Xiao’s last battle.
Wangchuan, Huangquan and Guiyi River are known as the three major ghost rivers in the world. In order to help Miss Sun Hu Kexin of Qingsui Villa, he had already gone to the depths of Guiyi River.
This River of Forgetfulness connects the human world to the underworld and the underworld. Isn't this the underworld?
Is the Little Wangchuan River under the Wangchuan Cliff really related to the legendary Wangchuan River?
Ah Xiao's last battle was not in the Grand Canyon of Wangchuan Cliff, but in this underworld?
I just don’t know whether this cold and dark world is the small underworld connecting the nine continents, or the big underworld corresponding to the human world in the Yang world.
Between the big world of the Yang World and the Great Underworld, there is a small underworld. The coffin where the half-demon boy Lin Wei placed his grandfather was made of the Nine Nether Resurrection Wood of the small underworld.
The Paper Man Art and Yinming Taoism practiced by fat Taoist Zhang Yiguan are also related to the Little Underworld. As an apology, he also gave Xiao Qianjun a piece of Taiyin mother soil from the Little Underworld.
The underworld is extremely mysterious, but it is closely related to the human world. Many monks have entered it.
The Great Underworld, opposite to the Yang World, is the real netherworld, where living people are forbidden to enter and the souls of the dead are transcendent.
"This should be the Small Underworld, but it doesn't rule out that it's the Great Underworld."
Li Changyi replied to Xiao Qianjun that the Small Underworld and the Great Underworld were connected. Although he had read many ancient books introducing the two underworlds, he could not determine where he was at a glance.
Fortunately, at this moment, he relied on [Heaven Sensation] to connect with this underworld world and would not be rejected. The ghosts of ordinary ghosts and ghosts could not detect him and Xiao Qianjun.
"Elder brother, where will Uncle Axiao be?" Xiao Qianjun asked again.
"Axiao must be here too, it shouldn't be far away." Li Xiangye replied while looking around.
He uses the awe-inspiring Qi to activate the Confucian Qi-watching technique, and his vision is as far as Xiao Qianjun's natural sword pupil.
While he was looking out, a seven-level ghost seemed to notice something strange and floated over here. However, he was unable to really detect the existence of Li Chaoyi and Xiao Qianjun, and floated over ten feet away.
Since it didn't notice it, Li Changyi ignored it, used the [Great Yi Tianji Technique], and began to deduce Axiao's location.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he ended the deduction. There was no definite result, only a vague direction, diagonally to the right.
"Let's go."
Li Chaoyi took Xiao Qianjun and flew diagonally to the right against the wind.
After flying less than thirty miles, Xiao Qianjun suddenly pointed forward and said: "Senior Brother, a purple light flashed there, and there seemed to be a figure!"
"Not a human figure, but an amethyst skeleton."
"Amethyst Skull?"
Xiao Qianjun was a little confused, but he quickly understood. Three hundred feet away, where the purple light shone, in a tall pile of bones, stood a five-foot-tall purple humanoid skeleton.
It is indeed an amethyst skeleton!
The amethyst skeleton has no trace of flesh, flesh or skin on its body, but its head contains a ball of deep purple original spiritual fire.
It "looked" this way, with purple fire jumping in its empty eye sockets, just like a living person.
"A stranger? Why did you break into my little underworld?" The amethyst skeleton sent out a consciousness.
This is indeed a small underworld.
This amethyst skeleton can directly see through the cover of [celestial induction], so its realm during life is certainly not low.
Li Chaoyi took Xiao Qianjun ten feet away, cupped his hands and said, "Li Chaoyi from Hanshan Academy has met you."
The eyes of the amethyst skeleton jumped with spiritual fire, and continued to send out spiritual consciousness: "Northern Gezhou Hanshan Academy? Confucian disciples, didn't you, the Holy Immortal Master, say 'respect ghosts and gods and stay away'? How about you, who are in the ninth realm?" Dare you break into the underworld?"
From its words, Li Changyi could tell that he was definitely not a disciple of Confucianism during his lifetime, had no great hostility, and was probably not a descendant of the Mohist or Yang Zhu schools.
The time when he fell into the underworld and turned into a skeleton should not be earlier than a hundred years.
After all, Hanshan College has only been established for a hundred years.
He replied neither humble nor arrogantly: "I'm looking for an old friend. May I ask my senior's name?"
The amethyst skeleton said: "There are no old friends here, only dead people. As for my name, it is not worth mentioning. I am just a rotten ghost that does not want to be reincarnated and lives in the underworld."
At this point, the deep purple spiritual fire in its eyes flashed again, and it seemed a little surprised, saying: "It's not an ordinary ninth-level scholar. No wonder he dared to be born into the underworld, and he also brought a sword grass with him."
"Boy, I'll give you a piece of advice. For the sake of this little sword grass next to you, it's better to leave as soon as possible. Although this small underworld is not a big underworld, it is also a real place of underworld. There is no benefit in staying here for a long time. "
Li Chaoyi bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I would like to ask, senior, have you seen a swordsman with an unshaven beard and a thin figure?"
The spiritual fire in the eyes of the amethyst skeleton suddenly became strong, and he said faintly: "Are you talking about the wind laughing?"
At the moment when the spiritual fire was strong, Li Qianyi's body felt slightly cold and he felt a great crisis. Only then did he confirm that the amethyst skeleton was a half-step saint.
However, he still calmly replied: "Yes, he also has a nickname, Axiao. May I ask senior if you know where he is?"
"Haha... I actually came here to find Feng Smiling." Amethyst Skull said in a neutral tone.
Just when Li Chaoyi thought it would take action and was secretly on guard, it said: "Since you are a Confucian disciple, I will pretend that I have never seen you."
"move."
"Don't go looking for Feng Zaixiao, otherwise with your current state, you and the little sword grass around you won't be able to be protected."
What does it mean?
Ah Xiao offended many "people" in this little underworld, and had many enemies?
Before Li could ask, the amethyst skeleton crashed and fell apart, falling to the ground and melting into the tall pile of bones.
"Elder brother, what's this?" Xiao Qianjun was startled.
Li Xiangyi was also a little surprised. He actually dismantled himself?
But seeing that the purple spiritual fire in its intact head was very peaceful and not weak at all, Li Xianyue understood instantly.
It dismantled itself and scattered it among the bones, which is equivalent to a human sleeping on a bed.
I really don’t know whether to call it lazy or weird.
Li Xianyue cupped his hand again and left with Xiao Qianjun.
But soon, he returned and asked in a clear voice: "Senior, do you have any unfinished business in the world? I might be able to help you with it."
There was no movement.
Amethyst skeletons were still scattered all over the place.
Just when Li Xianyi was about to leave, the two amethyst claws started to move, and after a while, they formed themselves again.
"Boy, are you really willing to help me?"
"If a scholar does not tell lies, of course it must be within my ability. If it is beyond my ability, please forgive me, senior."
The Amethyst Skull seemed to hesitate: "Every time a dog is slaughtered for justice, it is a scholar who betrays his heart. You scholars, especially some Confucian disciples who claim to be noble, are the ones who are most used to telling lies."
Li Changyi didn't care and said with a smile: "There are so many scholars in the world. Naturally there will be some genteel scum, but there are also many pure gentlemen. Why should my predecessors kill everyone with one blow?"
"I don't care about others, but I can guarantee that as long as I promise my senior, I will definitely do it. I won't agree if I can't do it."
The amethyst skeleton was silent, and after a long time asked: "Do you know Tai'ashan?"
Li Changyi replied without thinking: "I know, Tai'a Mountain is the top of the first-class Immortal Family Mountain in Dong Penglai Continent, and it is expected to become the new Immortal Sword Sect in Dong Penglai Continent."
"Eighty years ago, Lin Ah Shui, the gatekeeper of Mount Tai'a, was a half-step sword immortal. On a stormy night, he opened the sky with a sword and wanted to become a sword immortal. As a result, he was intervened by the heavenly calamity and a black hand. He was killed and only half of the sword was left. Jian, fly back to the top of the mountain to protect the Tai Amen people."
The original spiritual fire in the eyes of the amethyst skeleton trembled, and he looked at Li Xiangyue with surprise: "You actually know so clearly?"
Li Chaoyi replied: "Without anything else, I just read a few more volumes of idle books and a few more Xianjiadi newspapers."
"Then...how is Tai Ashan doing now?"
"It's not good. The Sword Immortal Lin Ah Shui failed to achieve enlightenment, and the flying sword of his destiny was broken. Although a piece of the sword tip returned to the top of the mountain, and the unwritten rules of Dong Penglai Continent remained, the remaining Tai'amen people still lived an extremely difficult life. "
As the No. 1 Sword Immortal Continent, Dong Penglai Continent has had an unwritten rule since a long time ago that all Sword Immortals above the Ten Realms must abide by -
When a great master of swordsmanship has the opportunity to become a swordsman, enemies from all sides can block, destroy, or even directly kill him.
If this person still succeeds in breaking through the realm and becomes a swordsman, he will take care of his own grudges.
And if it fails, it must leave a glimmer of hope for the sect and family where the great master of swordsmanship belongs, and cannot kill them all.
This is to maintain the luck of the sword and the swordsmanship of East Penglaizhou.
If you dare to violate this law, the Penglai Sword Sect, Yingzhou Sword Sect, Fangzhang Sword Sect and other supreme sword sects will join forces to attack. No matter whether you are a peerless swordsman or a saint from hundreds of schools, you will be killed and no one will be spared.
But this rule only preserves a glimmer of hope.
Failure to achieve enlightenment would have depleted one's sect's luck in swordsmanship. Whether the remaining sect members can maintain or even grow depends on their own efforts.
Like that of Tai Ah Shan, after the late-blooming Half-Step Sword Immortal Lin Ah Shui died, the leader was injured by an intervening black hand in order to protect him, and he died soon after.
Although there are still some talented people among the remaining disciples and disciples, they cannot hold up a mountain with the prospect of being promoted to the Sword Sect, and they also fell into decline within a few decades.
Now, eighty years later, there are only a few disciples left, clinging to the top of the mountain, wondering where the hope is.
After listening to Li Xianyue's introduction, Amethyst Skeleton was speechless for a long time.
Although it did not announce its name, either Li Changyue or Xiao Qianjun could probably guess his identity at this time.
"senior?"
Li Chaoyi called softly.
The amethyst skeleton raised its head, looked at Li Xiangye and Xiao Qianjun and said, "I am Lin Ashui."
"guessed."
"I have an object here. If Brother Li doesn't mind the trouble, I would like to ask you to help me send it to Tai'a Mountain."
"Can."
Li Chaoyi agreed without hesitation. If it was just a gift, it shouldn't be a problem.
After all, the amethyst skeleton in front of him was a sword fairy during his lifetime.
Moreover, he was full of kindness towards them.
If you can survive in the underworld and retain your noble character, you must not have been a bad person during your lifetime.
Especially when Li Changyi saw everything happening in Tai'a Mountain, he felt very sorry for Lin Ashui, the strange man who opened the sky with his sword.
Seeing Li Changyue's agreement, Amethyst Skeleton Lin Ah Shui immediately took out an original spiritual fire from his head and handed it over.
Li Changyi actually guessed what he wanted him to give, and sent this ball of original spiritual fire into his Wen Palace with his spiritual thoughts.
There is no need to guess, this ball of original spiritual fire must be the pure sword power cultivated by Lin Ashui - something that can make Tai Ah Mountain rise again.
"Brother Li, thank you very much. What do you want in return?" Lin Asui asked directly after seeing Li Changye carefully accepting the source spirit fire.
Li Chaoyi said calmly: "I would like to ask senior to give Xiao Qianjun another source of spiritual fire so that she can be more harmonious with this little underworld and not be rejected."
Xiao Qianjun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his senior brother would come back because of himself.
Lin Asui was not surprised at all. He immediately picked out an original spirit fire from his head and gave it to the girl in the green skirt. He said: "Little girl, please refine it now, so that you will have it in your body." The original aura of this small underworld, whether you are in it or after returning to the upper world, can prevent many evil spirits from getting close to you."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sword Immortal!"
Xiao Qianjun obeyed, and after thanking him, he took the original spiritual fire into his body and mobilized thousands of sword intentions to refine it.
When the sword intent circulated in her body, Lin Ashui stared with "big eyes" and was very surprised: "It turns out that the little girl is not only born with sword grass, but also has thousands of sword intent in her body. She is so favored by the swordsman, if nothing else, , he will definitely be the number one swordsman in the world in the future."
Li Changyi felt very proud when he heard others praise Xiao Qianjun so much more than once.
Xiao Qianjun was a little confused and didn't expect that he would be so powerful.
At this moment, a sword light suddenly flew from three thousand miles away.
