In the mountains and forests.
The old man guarding the lake stopped in front of a corpse. The corpse's sternum was smashed by the ancient mirror, and the flesh and blood were crushed into mud. It was too miserable to look at.
The old man frowned for a moment, then used the wild smoke and mist to find a bronze mirror on the deceased's body, and then refracted the light to send a message.
Several black shadows emerged from the depths of the mountain forest and greeted the old man with fists in his hands.
The people in Jingxuan Pavilion are also dressed like old men in coir raincoats, with black shirts and black coats, and black scarves covering their faces.
One day, an elderly man dropped a branch and begged: "The Xie family has humiliated Jingxuan Pavilion so much. I hope seniors can help."
The old man had already lost half of his punches, so naturally he did not dare to step forward, and sighed: "Then since the descendant of the Xie family can land on the island and destroy your Jingxuan Pavilion, it means that I have lost to him. A master of the Selfless Realm is not something you and I can compete with."
The man lowered his arms. The person who died on the ground was a member of his own family. They had been fishing and playing together in Taihu Lake since they were young. Now they are married and have their own concerns. They cannot explain to their elders when they go back. Clenching his fists, veins swelled, and the bronze mirror on his waist was affected by the turbid aura around him, refracting countless light.
Suddenly, there was a sudden movement in the mountains and forests at his feet. The old man looked up at Jingxuan Pavilion. Sui Dingfeng had not yet put the ancient mirror back into its proper position. His heart felt cold and his face was as pale as paper. When that person really woke up, the entire fairy island would be gone. Existing again, as the person who guards the lake, he has the responsibility to guard Taihu Lake. He kindly reminded: "The one at the bottom of the lake has woken up. Go back to the island quickly and take your people to escape."
After hearing this, the man looked away from the corpses of his clansmen and turned to look back at the center of the fairy island. There was smoke rising from the kitchen. Listening carefully to the sound of the wind, there were children chasing and playing, and women smashing their clothes with tears in their eyes. The fairy island where their ancestors lived and thrived escaped. Go out and go wherever you want.
When the man was lost, he turned out an ancient book that he had read in Jingxuan Pavilion. He thought suddenly and gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, our ancestors predicted this matter thousands of years ago. I spent my whole life writing this book." It is recorded in the ancient books that if the reflection of the sky cannot appease the person at the bottom of the lake, you can refer to the methods in the ancient books to avoid future troubles, and I hope your seniors can help."
The old man guarding the lake stroked his beard, "If we really want to eliminate future troubles, someone in your Jingxuan Pavilion used this method thousands of years ago. How could it be delayed until now?"
The man looked embarrassed and said, "I am not qualified enough to enter the material realm, so it is difficult for me to perform this method."
The sternum broken by Xie Husheng felt a dull pain, and the old man sighed: "I am now injured by the wind of the fist, and I am no longer as strong as my prime."
The man bowed his body and said with great respect, "Although this method is dangerous, it can also allow seniors to enter the state of selflessness."
"Really!" the old man guarding the lake drawled, his heart agitated. He secluded himself in Taihu Lake just to be nourished by the master's spiritual energy and find a way to break through the realm. How could he not seize this great opportunity now.
Seeing that the old man was wavering, the man said seductively: "The ancient book is in the pavilion. I will send someone to get it and give it to the senior."
The man took off his bronze mirror and wanted to refract the light and send a message.
The old man covered the bronze mirror with thick smoke and mist, flew out of the forest, and walked in the light.
"No need. Since I received your kindness from Jingxuan Pavilion back then, I should return the favor. You go to the lake first. After I go to Jingxuan Pavilion to pick up the ancient books, I will meet you and others to discuss what to do."
The old man guarding the lake flew away. The man folded out several code words with a bronze mirror, leaned over and buried the people of his surname, and led everyone to the lake.
The water of Taihu Lake falls from the sky. When it falls rapidly, it wipes out mist and is surrounded by fairy clouds.
Jun Bubai was no longer able to control the sword, so he let himself fall from the sky, and his body was as thin as paper. The wind filled his mouth, and he coughed up blood. He used the sword wildly, overdrawing his internal strength, and the life-extending elixir from Shennong Valley protected his heart. pulse, allowing him to temporarily maintain his consciousness.
Xie Husheng stopped next to him in the first step of the cave and followed him down, with a relaxed look on his face, "I got to see the sword god Zhang Kuangjian today, and my wish came true."
Seeing Xie Husheng, Jun Bubai took a deep breath, turned over, passed the sword armor to his left hand, and barely squeezed out the intention of the sword. Blood gushed out of his nose, and blood beads flowed upstream.
Xie Husheng secretly sent a wave of inner strength to Jun Bubai, "Save some strength. I, Xie Husheng, am not an easy person to kill. Since you are still alive after I punched you, it means you have not lost and I have not won. I will wait for you to raise me." It hurts. You and I have to fight again on Taihu Lake. But next time, you have to let me see the real invisible sword intention."
Jun Bubai took out a ten-foot-long sword and said stubbornly: "I don't need anyone else's pity to act downstairs. I can fight today."
Xie Husheng punched him away with a light punch, and all the intent of the sword in Jun Bubai's hand was gone.
Jun Bubai fell a foot, and Xie Husheng followed up in Dongting, blocking the cold wind as he fell, "To be honest, the food you have downstairs is really delicious. It's much better than what my A Mo makes. She cooks it." Even the dogs don’t want to eat the food. It’s either burnt or undercooked, and it’s so unpalatable.”
Xie Husheng always raised the corners of his mouth when talking about A Mo.
Since Xie Husheng had made an appointment to fight again next time, it was better to save more energy at this time. When it came to the food in Tianxialou, Jun Bubai still lost a lot of hostility and said with a smile: "The dogs don't even eat it, how do you know that her cooking is unpalatable. "
Xie Husheng smiled bitterly, "My Amo made it. No matter how unpalatable it is, I have to eat it."
Jun Bubai thought of Fairy Ye. After saying goodbye to Yangzhou, she had gone back to Jinling for retreat. I don’t know when we will see each other next time. “You are talking about your A Mo. Is she your wife?”
Xie Husheng raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly: "Not yet, but now I like her, and she likes me. This is what people call love between a man and a concubine."
Jun Bubai fell another foot, and Xie Husheng followed him step by step, blocking the cold wind with a punch.
Jun Bubai chuckled and said, "If you ignore your A Mo, then she must be very beautiful!"
Xie Husheng chuckled, "Her face is very dark. When she is shy, her face turns red, just like the monkey's butt on the mountain."
Jun Bubai was shocked. Is this a word to describe his sweetheart? Then he said: "Then she must be very gentle."
Xie Husheng responded with a smile, "My A Mo must be gentle. Every time he hits me, he uses a bamboo pole."
Jun Bubai was speechless. Suddenly he didn't know how to speak. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what is she like when she is not gentle?"
Xie Husheng replied without hesitation: "He will chase me with a kitchen knife and chop."
Jun Bubai suddenly understood and said, "Then she is indeed gentle when she hits you with a bamboo pole."
Xie Husheng looked into the distance. At this time, in the center of Dongting Lake, the dark-faced girl Amo was tinkering with recipes at the bow of the boat. There was a warehouse of fresh fish and shrimp jumping in the stern of the boat. An old yellow dog was lying on the stern of the boat, sleeping soundly.
While the two were chatting, the frozen water of Taihu Lake was pushed back to the ground by the sword rain. The broken ice melted and Taihu Lake reappeared.
Jun Bubai had adjusted his breath evenly, pointed the sword in his right hand, summoned a long sword, pointed it at the sword body, and stood on the water. At this time, it was only an inch away from the water of Taihu Lake.
Xie Husheng stood on the water, and the bronze mirror on the shore refracted the light. Xie Husheng smiled contemptuously and faced Jun Bubai, "There are still important things today. We will fight again in Taihu Lake in three days."
Jun Bubai turned his back to the shore and did not see the mirror light. He stopped Xie Husheng and chatted with him for a while. He did not think he was a narrow-minded person. "You killed the second son of the Langya Wang family not just because he insulted your Xie family's boxing skills, right?" .”
Xie Husheng raised his head and said, "I killed him because he colluded with the water bandits and secretly abducted and trafficked girls from good families."
The few water villages that Xie Husheng removed all contained women who had been abducted. They were rationed with one salted fish every day and locked in a broken boat with no clothes on, so that the water bandits could enjoy themselves. If she got sick, her throat would be cut and thrown into the river to feed the fish. Then a new woman would board the boat to take over.
Kidnapping and selling a good girl is not something a gentleman would do. Everyone in the world would kill her. Jun Bubai clenched his fist and said, "That really deserves to be killed."
"Let's go." Xie Husheng stepped into the cave and dodged to the shore.
Jun Bubai looked back and saw a group of black shadows surrounding him. Judging from his clothes, he was from Jingxuan Pavilion.
Xie Husheng stepped into the cave, stood on the water bank, swept away everyone, and said disdainfully: "How come, do you plan to go up one by one, or together."
The man who had been talking to the old man guarding the lake earlier in the forest pulled off his turban with a ferocious look on his face, "Xie Husheng, you hurt my people and destroyed my Jingxuan Pavilion. Even if you are in the state of selflessness, you will not be able to leave Taihu Lake today."
Xie Husheng said disdainfully, "You Jingxuan Pavilion colluded with the water bandits and did all the bad things. So what if I kill you? And this Taihu Lake, I can come and leave whenever I want. You guys, a bunch of ethereal realm ants, can't stop me." I am."
The bronze mirror in the man's hand reflected a section of light, "Although we can't wait, the one at the bottom of the lake has woken up. If you want to leave, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven."
The mirror light fell into the lake, the fairy island shook for a moment, and a pressure came from the bottom of the lake.
Xie Husheng's hair stood up. He looked across the water to the bottom of the lake. There was a spiritual creature awakening at the bottom of the lake. He exclaimed: "The realm of immortality!"
While Xie Husheng was distracted, everyone in Jingxuan Pavilion jumped into the lake one after another. The bronze mirrors refracted light and shot into the pupils of the spiritual creatures at the bottom of the lake.
On the lake surface, Jun Bubai's sword suddenly broke under his feet, and he stumbled into the water. At the bottom of the lake, there was a pair of bright pupils, which were huge and deep. You couldn't help but take a sip of lake water, it was so cool and biting. He hurriedly imagined a long sword, pulled it out of the lake, and was separated by more than ten feet in the air. The feeling brought by those eyes was terrifying.
Xie Husheng stepped into the cave, turned back to Jun Bubai, and said solemnly: "That thing at the bottom of the lake must have entered the realm of immortality."
Jun Bubai used his inner strength to dry the clothes, and used several long swords to protect himself. "The origin of Taihu Lake is said to be caused by the sky fire falling to the ground two thousand years ago. The spiritual creature swallowed the ashes of the sky fire and mutated, becoming gigantic. Sleeping here, the Taihu Fairy Island grows from its back."
Xie Husheng squeezed his fist bones and cursed: "This Jingxuan Pavilion is going to be destroyed together."
Taihu Fairy Island Center.
In the ancestral hall built on the mountain, an old man walked quickly out of the ancestral hall, with his beard and hair hanging on the ground. He walked to the sacrificial hall with a cane and stopped in front of the railing. It was not the end of the year when the tribesmen worship their ancestors. Looking around, it was undoubtedly empty. , you can see the waves on the surface of Taihu Lake.
The old man put his head forward, stared at the water for a long time, stamped his feet and beat his chest. Since the ancestors moved here, generations of people have cultivated and accumulated land, and now the clan is prosperous. Is it going to be destroyed in his hands now?
There is an open space for worship under the railing.
The old man withdrew his gaze and threw a ball of dried turtle shell at the bronze square tripod with firewood burning in the center of the open space to divine good or bad luck.
The turtle shell was cracked by the firewood, and the lines were reflected in the old man's eyes.
Seeing the auspicious sign, the old man let go of his worries, faced the ancestral hall, knelt on the ground, and shouted for the blessings of his ancestors.
