Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa went to Lingzhou. Zhang Tufu and others stayed in the Viscount Mansion for a few days, then said goodbye to Yuan Taiping and Qin Rulan and returned to the imperial capital.
Yuan Taiping did not return to the imperial capital with everyone, but he also did not stay in the Viscount Mansion for a long time. Instead, he took Qin Rulan to travel around and live a comfortable life like I had when a beauty was pregnant with the world.
On this day, the two came to the snow mountains in northern Xinjiang to enjoy the snow.
It's a pity that it's not the season for snow yet.
But Qin Rulan has lived in Baiyun City since she was a child and has never seen real heavy snow. Therefore, even if there is no snow falling in the sky, there is only thick snow on the top of the mountain, which makes her as excited as a child and has a lot of fun. , and had a snowball fight with Yuan Taiping.
Qin Rulan's figure running happily on the snow and her laughter as clear as a silver bell made Yuan Taiping very satisfied.
Tired of playing, the two of them wiped the snow off their bodies, spread a felt on the snow, cuddled together, and quietly watched the sunset.
Kurosawa, Brown Bear and Qicai Xianli went somewhere to have fun.
Suddenly, Yuan Taiping felt something in his heart and turned his head to look north.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Rulan followed Yuan Taiping's gaze and saw nothing, so she asked casually.
Yuan Taiping took out the demon knife from the mustard seeds.
The demon sword actually flew away from his hand and flew into the air, trembling and clanging while dancing around Yuan Taiping, as if it was saying something.
Qin Rulan was surprised and looked at Yuan Taiping curiously with her big eyes, waiting for him to answer his questions.
Yuan Taiping stood up and looked to the north, saying: "My demon sword is not complete. It needs to be fused with the last fragment to be complete. It senses the breath of this last fragment."
When he was in the ruins, Lord Kurosawa told him that the demon sword had transformed into nine blades in total, and there were still three blades left to swallow and fuse.
After coming out of the ruins, Zhang Xiaozu gave him a sword. It was Zhang Butcher who felt the aura of the demon sword when he was saving Canghai City and took it from Canghai City.
Then, when the Forty-Two Saint Ancestors attacked the Imperial City and Su Hanlin poured out the loot, Yuan Taiping found a blade from the mountain-like pile of treasures.
So now we still have the final edge.
Just now, Yuan Taiping sensed the aura of the last blade.
The demon sword stopped clanging and fell back into Yuan Taiping's hand, because the aura from the north suddenly disappeared.
Yuan Taiping looked at the north and couldn't help but frown.
He wanted to find the last edge of the demon sword, but he didn't want to take Qin Rulan on the adventure.
"Husband, let's go find it. It's like a treasure hunt. It's fun to think about." Qin Rulan looked at Yuan Taiping expectantly. She was very smart. When she saw Yuan Taiping frowning, she guessed what he was thinking after a moment's thought. She was afraid that Yuan Taiping would send her back to Baiyun City, so she spoke first.
Seeing Yuan Taiping frowning and saying nothing, Qin Rulan immediately grabbed his arm and shook it twice, begging coquettishly.
"Okay." Yuan Taiping couldn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
…
"Senior brother, in a few days there will be a competition between Dao Fa Sect and Li Fa Sect."
"Hey - miscalculation."
In the Daofa Sect Tianlao, Yu Chengyang and Tianwu Taoist looked at each other and lamented.
They thought that after getting the token to open the cell door, they could do whatever they wanted and go out whenever they wanted.
But they didn't know that Fa Zong's Tianlao formation would change every three days, which meant that the tokens they received could only be used for three days, and would automatically become invalid after three days.
So the two were trapped in the cell.
Yu Chengyang had a look of defeat on his face, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "We can only wait for the pawn to bring money to ransom us out. Oh, it's so embarrassing."
When he first came here, he was highly motivated and confident, thinking that he could crack the Wentian Sect's Heavenly Prison Formation. Even if he couldn't crack it, he could at least see through seven or eight points of it. However, the reality was cruel.
He racked his brains and failed to get a glimpse of the core of the Tianlao Formation. He only felt that there was an insurmountable gap between what he had learned and the knowledge contained in the profound and complicated Tianlao Formation.
This hit him hard.
The previous leader of Sanqing Temple was trapped and died in the Daofazong Heavenly Prison, leaving a scar in his heart and an ambition to refuse to admit defeat.
Thinking that one day he would try Daofazong's Tianlao Formation, so he spent most of the rest of his life studying the formation.
However, reality slapped him hard, completely shattering his self-confidence and making him realize that his knowledge of formations was so shallow. In the end, he fell into despair.
"Senior Brother, this Tianlao Formation was handed down from ancient times. Even the Dao Fa Sect itself can't fully understand it. It can only control it with the incomplete techniques passed down. It's normal that it can't be broken. You don't need to be downcast about it. ." Tianwu Taoist said comforting words.
"Hey..." Yu Chengyang sighed and said, "Maybe... Ziyang is right."
"What?"
"He said that if we want to break open the Dao Fa Sect's Heavenly Lao Formation, it is far from enough to just rely on our superficial inheritance of Sanqing Guan and self-study and self-enlightenment..."
"That's why he chose to join the Dao Fa Sect?"
"Maybe. Hey..." Yu Chengyang nodded, and then sighed again. The great formation of Tianlao cannot be broken, and the will cannot be leveled.
The proud disciple switched to the Tao Fa Sect. Although his reason told him that everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced to do so, it was still difficult to reconcile them.
"Hey——!" Taoist Tianwu was upset by Yu Chengyang's sighs, and he also sighed heavily.
He felt that he was really useless as a master, not to mention not helping his apprentice much, and now he had to wait for his apprentice to save his life. It was really a shame that he had been thrown into his grandma's house.
A disciple of Daofa Sect had long ago discovered that the two of them were trapped in the sky prison, and then reported it to the sect leader Xiang Gaohan.
After Xiang Gaohan learned the news, he came to Tianlao to visit them in person, but he did not release them.
He got a drop of Wutong Tears from Yu Chengyang and tasted the sweetness, so he made another idea.
Hearing that Zhang Xiaozu was selling soul-nourishing treasures in the Imperial Capital of Dasu, he couldn't help but be greedy and wanted a few pieces, so he had already sent his disciples to Dasu to invite Zhang Xiaozu to visit Daofazong.
In order to show friendship, he specially exempted Yu Chengyang and Tianwu Taoist from being whipped three times a day.
August twenty-seven.
Zhang Xiaozu, Niu Dawa and Heiyuan traveled day and night and finally arrived at Lingzhou Daofazong.
Under the attack of Zhang Xiaozu's Xingchen Dan, Taoist Qingpao tried his best to sneak into the Dao Fa Sect with two people and one ape in the dead of night.
This person's name is Huo Tai, and he is not the person sent by the Tao Fa Sect leader to Gao Han to invite Zhang Xiaopou.
He was just an ordinary disciple guarding the Tianlao. He accidentally discovered that Yu Chengyang and Tianwu Taoist were trapped in the Tianlao, so he made a crooked idea.
He only seeks money and nothing else.
Along the way, he witnessed the magical powers of the two people and the ape, and he did not dare to cause trouble and make grudges with the two people and the ape.
So when he arrived at Daofazong, he arranged the two people and the ape in a remote residence, and after telling them not to leave the room, he immediately went to inquire about Yu Chengyang and Tianwu Taoist.
According to his expectations, things should go very smoothly, just steal the token and release Yu Chengyang and Taoist Tianwu from prison.
Stealing tokens is not difficult for him, a prison guard disciple.
However, after some inquiring, I learned that Yu Chengyang and Taoist Tianwu were being specially taken care of by their lord, and they were ordered not to be let out.
Moreover, the token key to the cell where the two are located is guarded by a dedicated person and cannot be stolen at all.
This news made him panic.
"Junior Brother Zhang, something serious has happened. It may be difficult to save the two seniors."
Huo Tai could not steal the token key, so he could only return to his remote residence and inform Zhang Xiaozu of the situation.
