The terrain is high in the north and low in the south.
The Tongtian River comes from Beiming, passes through Taoyuan, and separates the Central Plains. It flows all the way to Yunmeng Daze. It is one of the main water veins that merge into Yunmeng.
Downstream of this river, some distance away from Yunmeng Daze, there is a swampland. The two banks suddenly open up, separated by more than several miles, and the terrain is gentle.
The river flows here and suddenly spreads out. The water flows slowly. The shallowest point is less than half a foot deep. On the surface of the river, many small islands of talc are exposed.
But at the end, both sides suddenly narrowed, and the river rushed. At a sharp turn, a cliff suddenly appeared on the river, and the Taotao River suddenly fell. The water was surging, the sound was like thunder, and countless jade dragons descended from the sky. Falling into a whirlpool that is more than a hundred feet deep, it finally turns over like a dragon and flows downstream again until it reaches Yunmeng Daze.
It is a pity that such a wonderful scene occurs in a place that is rarely seen among people. There is no great inspiration, and few monks come and go. Only those who love the scenery can enjoy a little bit of "Tianshui Relaxation Gorge, Yulong Waterfall" reputation.
A page of cloud paper slowly passed through the low sky, flying down along the flow of the river.
There was a young man and woman sitting on it, leaning against each other and admiring the scenery. The man was telling the story of the Tianshui Gorge Waterfall, and the woman was looking towards the waterfall with expectation in her eyes.
Seeing this, the man smiled slightly, urged the raft on, and flew downwards at a faster speed, when he suddenly heard a distant cry from the sky.
Immediately after the cloud raft swayed slightly, it was wrapped by an invisible force and stopped in its path.
The faces of the man and woman changed slightly, and they tried their best to activate their magic power, but they could not resist at all until they were photographed in the sky.
But he saw an old beggar in ragged clothes, sitting on top of the clouds with his cloth shoes exposed to the toes, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and spitting out a puff of mist from where his front teeth were exposed.
The man's face was shocked and he shouted: "Immoral Taoist!"
As soon as these words came out, the wicked Taoist was attracted, looked over, pinched a few times in his hands, and murmured: "It turns out that I have some affinity with the Taoist Master."
"Hey, boy, don't go any further, or you may be in trouble."
The man was born in a small sect nearby. Although he is not big, the inheritance in the sect still has some background. The ancestor has some fate with Taoist Wu De. He knows that this master can judge the yin and yang to break the five elements. He can see the sun and moon in the palm of his hand and know everything in the world. The character will immediately respond.
But at this moment, another rainbow light flew from the sky and landed on the clouds, revealing an old-fashioned Taoist. The wicked Taoist had no time to talk to the two of them anymore and shouted: "Brother, you came a little later. , I won’t be able to keep up with the fun!”
The old-fashioned Taoist Old God said: "Of course I have made up my mind, now is the time to arrive."
The two of them stopped talking and looked into the Tianshui Gorge together.
The man's face changed. If the unscrupulous Taoist just goes forward, he will be unlucky. But he didn't say that he can't stay here. What danger can there be in being next to Master Yuanshen?
Thinking of this, he peeked at the two people, Taoist Wicked, and saw that they ignored him as brother and sister. He felt relieved immediately. Instead, he became curious about the good show that Taoist Wicked said, and looked in the direction the two were looking. Go, but there are heavy clouds and mist in front of you.
The man thought for a moment and whispered to the woman: "Junior sister, take out the Thousand Miles Mirror."
The woman obediently took out a precious mirror from her bag, and the man held the mirror in his hand. Seeing that the two wicked Taoists ignored them, he was secretly happy. He shook the precious mirror, and saw ripples on the mirror surface like water, revealing the Tianshui Gorge. in the picture.
But I saw the jade dragon hanging down, stirring up mist all over the sky, like a fairyland on earth.
There is a white jade floating platform floating in the Tianshui Gorge. On it, two Taoists sit opposite each other. One is wearing a star crown and crane cloak, and the other is wearing a sword and hairpin and a wide robe.
"Zhong Shenxiu...?" The man murmured, and suddenly the rumors that had spread wildly about Shenzhou not long ago emerged from the bottom of his heart.
The two Taoists in Tianshui Gorge were undoubtedly Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Zhuang.
The two of them had arranged to meet in the Tianshui Gorge. It was actually seven days ago, but it was not like the rumors in Shenzhou. The meeting was a battle of skills, and they had to compete for superiority. Instead, they sat down quietly, talked about the mysteries, and talked about the nature of heaven and earth. , talking about the wonders of the universe, it is almost over at this time.
Zhong Shenxiu smiled lightly and said, "Fellow Taoist, I have one last question."
Xu Zhuang said: "Brother Taoist, please speak."
Zhong Shenxiu said: "What do fellow Taoists think is existence and what is non-being?"
Xu Zhuang said: "The nameless beginning of heaven and earth is the name of the mother of heaven and earth. All things in heaven and earth are born from being, and being is born from nothing."
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and said: "The beginning of the nameless world, the name of the mother of all things, the same name but the same name, the same name of mystery, the mystery is more mysterious."
Xu Zhuang was thoughtful and noncommittal.
This is each person's view on Tao, and it is not a matter of right and wrong. Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and only said: "Good."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled and said, "It's really fun to discuss Taoism with fellow Taoists."
Xu Zhuang responded: "I have gained a lot."
Zhong Shenxiu said: "Although the discussion is coming, I think there is still one small thing that has not been done between us."
Xu Zhuang stood up, with a bright light in his eyes, and responded: "I am about to confirm what I have learned from this discussion with my Taoist brother."
Zhong Shenxiu said: "How to compare the methods? Do fellow Taoists want to make a charter?"
Xu Zhuang said: "Even if you get what you get from the recruitment, why bother to make any regulations? Taoism, magical powers, and magic weapons are all indispensable. Brother Taoist has his own estimate in his heart."
Zhong Shenxiu laughed and said, "Okay! Then let me learn some of my Taoist friends' magical powers."
He suddenly kicked his foot and pushed the white jade floating platform out, flying to the shore. He made a Taoist secret with his left hand and bowed his head slightly.
Xu Zhuang formed the seal and returned a faint salute. The two looked at each other. Xu Zhuang suddenly moved, and a rainbow light burst out from his body. Under the sun and in the mist, a dreamy color appeared for a moment, and then there was a roar. As soon as it rang, the general passed through the sky of water vapor.
"Magic Flying Sword?" Zhong Shenxiu showed a slightly surprised look in his eyes, and the magic weapon in his hand changed. He picked up the Taoist skill and released a bunch of clear light, turning into a cloud of blue, and went forward to greet him.
Xu Zhuang's expression did not change at all. He unsheathed the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword for the first time since refining it. There was no intention of turning around. Lightning flashed through the air. When it touched the clear light, there seemed to be a splitting sound out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, , the clear light was split into two. Before it could change, the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword continued its power unabated, and in a flash it was in front of Zhong Shenxiu.
Zhong Shenxiu raised his eyebrows. Although this clear and wonderful magical energy was not a Taoist skill that he was very ceremonial about, he had practiced it to the sixth level. In the past, when he fought against Yuejun Lan, he had made great achievements. Unexpectedly, he could not even resist Xu Zhuang's sword. Not even for a moment.
It seems that Xu Zhuang's swordsmanship is not much worse than that of Yue Junlan in the past. And with the magical flying sword in his hand, the speed and killing power of the sword may be even better.
However, the failure of the test did not cause Zhong Shenxiu to panic. Seeing that Xu Zhuang's sword light was already in front of him, he calmly waved his sleeves and a golden light came up to meet Xu Zhuang's sword light and hit it.
Xu Zhuang looked calm, but in his mind, he felt a faint sense of threat coming from the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword. So to Zhong Shenxiu's expectation, the sword light turned and avoided the golden light.
It turns out that this golden light is also the reason why Zhong Shenxiu got into the Fayuan Cave, and it happened to be the reason why he fought with Yue Junlan. A magic weapon called Kanli Luobaoqian, which is a special weapon for others. If the magic weapon is Xu Zhuangzhan, His swordsmanship was sharp, and he wanted to forcefully cut this thing open, so he fell into Zhong Shenxiu's little trap.
"Sure enough, it's not that easy." Zhong Shenxiu smiled. Although Luobaoqian didn't make any achievements, he slightly pushed back the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword for a moment.
When Zhong Shenxiu found an opening, he immediately moved his body and turned into light to escape dozens of feet away. He turned around and pointed out his sword skills, only to see a ripple of sword light flying out. In a flash, it turned into thirty-two swords, killing the general. Come.
"Are you going to compete with yourself in swordsmanship?"
As soon as Xu Zhuang's eyes moved, he saw Zhong Shenxiu's sword light moving one after another. He actually used dozens of sword techniques without knowing how to use them.
The traces of swordsmanship seen in Fayuan Cave that day were indeed left by Zhong Shenxiu, and now they have obviously gone a step further. The flying swords cooperated seamlessly, faintly connected together, and turned into a sword formation, approaching.
However, after all, he was still not at the state of returning to the sect of all methods. Although the sword formation he realized by himself was not crude, it was not without flaws. Xu Zhuang's eyes flashed and he saw a weak air attack, and his sword finger moved.
Taiyi Hongguang Sword suddenly stretched, and turned into a hairspring. It drilled into Zhong Shenxiu's sword formation and swirled, bursting out boundless sword energy, and immediately broke through Zhong Shenxiu's formation. Immediately Taiyi Hongguang The sword swayed slightly, one branching into thirty-two rays of sword light, and another swaying, and another branching into thirty-two rays, for a total of sixty-four rays of sword rays.
"Sixty-four sword rays can be divided into one breath?" Zhong Shenxiu's brows were slightly surprised. After a few rounds of fighting, he realized that there seemed to be some fiction and reality in it. However, Xu Zhuang's swordsmanship was already superior to him, and he had thirty-two more sword rays. , and the virtual reality changes and operates freely, making it suddenly more difficult to resist.
After a few rounds, Xu Zhuang had already killed Zhong Shenxiu with sword light, and had established a suppressive momentum. In an instant, the sword light split, and sixteen rays of sword light arced through the air, and then went towards Zhong Shenxiu.
It seemed that he had fallen behind in the swordsmanship competition. Zhong Shenxiu showed a slight look of pity, but in an instant, the whole person disappeared from the place without any warning. As if out of thin air, he actually jumped over the flying swords. The battlefield appeared dozens of feet in front of Xu Zhuang. He pointed his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Determine!"
At the same time, Zhong Shenxiu formed the Hunyuan Dharma Seal with one hand, and a blur of light suddenly rose from behind his shoulder, turning into a Hunyuan Qi refining hand. In a moment, it expanded to a hundred feet, and he went to Xuzhuang to bring it.
As soon as Zhong Shenxiu made a move, it was a thunderous move. Xu Zhuang didn't have a moment to react. The Hunyuan Qi refining hand had already reached the top of his head, but Xu Zhuang was trapped in the immobilization technique.
Seeing that Hunyuan Lianqi's great grappler had already gathered his five fingers and wrapped Xu Zhuang's whole body in his palms, he was about to capture Xu Zhuang. At this critical moment, Xu Zhuang calmed down.
He carried the boundless elixir power, and between his mouth and nose, there was a faint mist of flying smoke, and a mountain-shaking power suddenly came out from all over his body, causing violent waves to surge in the Tianshui Gorge, and waterfalls to fall back. Finally, at the critical moment, , the figure moved slightly.
I saw the Hunyuan Qi Refining Great Grasping hand that was almost clenched into a fist shook slightly, and then I heard a loud shout from it: "Open!"
The Hunyuan Qi Refining Great Grasp suddenly exploded, turning into a mess of vitality. A white Qi shot up into the sky, and when it swung in the air, it scattered the chaotic vitality. Instead, it fell down and rolled towards Zhong Shenxiu.
Zhong Shenxiu frowned, and in the Tianshui Gorge, an extremely powerful wave of elixir power arose again, causing the river surface that had just calmed down to shake again, creating countless eddies, but Zhong Shenxiu pinched his fingers and shouted: "Return Wind turns against fire!”
I saw that when Xiantian Taisu Yi Qi was about to take shape, he suddenly shrank back and turned back into white Qi, showing the trend of flowing backward.
Xu Zhuang's eyes moved. This was not the first time he had seen this strange Taoist technique. He still felt it was extremely miraculous. It could actually suppress him with his now innate Tai Su Yi Qi Da Jing. He thought about it for a moment, but gave up adding the power of the elixir and broke through it. Get rid of this idea.
Although it is not difficult for him to use the power of the elixir to break this technique and recreate the innate Taisu Yiqi Great Capture, the opportunity has been wasted, and there is no way to defeat Zhong Shenxiu, so it is better to save it.
Now that he has refined gold and mercury, he naturally does not pity the power of the pill. However, during the battle, a slight difference in the power of the pill may lead to the final result. Zhong Shenxiu must have spent a lot of money to use this technique to suppress it. His magical power, in this way, gave him a slight upper hand this round.
Xu Zhuang took advantage of the situation and took back his magical power. Zhong Shenxiu was not far away in front of him, but he suddenly flicked his sleeves and robe, pulled up the rainbow light and shot straight into the sky.
Zhong Shenxiu frowned, not knowing what he meant. After a few moments of thought, he set up his escape light and wanted to chase it into the sky, but suddenly stopped.
I saw Xu Zhuang flying under the sky, suddenly turning around, standing in the air, moving his sleeves, his big sleeves fluttering in the wind, drawing an arc, pointing to the sky with one hand, and forming a seal with the other hand. In an instant, his whole body was full of momentum. With a sudden change, the elixir power above the zenith turned into mist, rushing into the clouds like wolf smoke.
Boom! The power of the elixir seemed to turn into a blazing fire in the clouds, instantly burning the sky red. As the clouds rumbled and rolled, countless thunder and fires emerged from them.
For several years, Xu Zhuang did not give up his practice of thunder, and finally perfected Xuanhuo True Thunder, a profound thunder technique derived from the red fire gang thunder. Now that he practiced it with all his strength, he suddenly revealed the power to destroy the heaven and the earth. Power.
Zhong Shenxiu looked solemn, stopped the light escape, and picked up the method. A purple light came out from the sky gate, and there was a roar and a thunderous sound. It flashed and shrank. Every time he reincarnated, there was a purple sky divine thunder. Come out, accumulate, and repeat.
After a moment passed like this, I could only hear the faint voice of Xu Zhuang from above the sky, saying: "In the past, in the Dharma Source Cave, I saw the power of Taoist brother's thunder method. Today I finally have the opportunity to experience it."
Zhong Shenxiu shouted loudly: "Fellow Taoist, just let go and do whatever you want."
"Okay!" As Xu Zhuang shouted in a deep voice, there was a sudden explosion in the sky! Just like thunder and rain pouring down from their hands, the boundless thunder and fire pour down like a violent storm, and the red light shines like a crimson between the sky and the earth!
But in the midst of the crimson, a little purple light flickered, and then, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder flashed one after another, and suddenly headed towards the sky full of Mysterious Fire True Thunder!
Boom, boom! In the mid-air, a world of red and purple thunder suddenly transformed. Every time they struck, there was an earth-shaking explosion! It's like gods beating drums and gods and demons dancing to music, a scene like returning to the ancient times.
