Compared with the surrounding mountains, Languan Mountain is very beautiful, with majestic peaks and misty clouds. On the high side of the mountain, there is a palace, facing south and leaning to the north. There are dozens of palaces and monasteries in the temple, which shows that it is a beautiful place. The residence of monks.
However, looking from the air, I felt that not only were there no fireworks in Languan Mountain, but the vegetation was a bit tired, and the mountains and forests were completely silent and seemed lifeless.
Xu Zhuang and Chang Chunzi walked around the mountain. Although the temples and temples were all safe, with plenty of daily necessities left in them, and there were no traces of fighting or killing, the buildings were empty of people.
However, it can be seen from only some details that the monks from Languan Mountain did not leave calmly. For example, many of the lamps, treasures, and even tables and chairs were staggered, and they were obviously walking in a hurry.
Changchunzi said: "It seems that Lan Guanshan has taken a step ahead before the Demon Sect monks find him."
"It's also a wise move." Xu Zhuang just nodded and walked slowly in the palace, seemingly thoughtful.
Changchunzi's heart moved and he asked, "Did your venerable master discover something?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang pointed to the ground and said, "I wonder if you have noticed that this place is not only empty of people, but also the earth's atmosphere has been cut off."
Changchunzi thought about it and replied: "What does your venerable person mean, is this the work of a monk from the Demon Sect?"
Xu Zhuang nodded lightly and said: "If the earth energy of the Shenmu Dojo was temporarily cut off, it was to break the Shenmu Dojo's formation, but Languan Mountain has been empty of people, and it is still the same."
He looked at the place where he came from again and said in deep thought: "Not only Languan Mountain, but also everywhere we went along the way. It must be related to the Demon Sect's plan."
Changchunzi nodded with a serious look on his face and asked, "What should we do?"
Xu Zhuang did not respond, but just glanced around the palace. He suddenly picked up the small trace-finding technique and collected all the strange smells left in the mountain. With a flash of his eyes, he walked towards the back mountain. .
Upon seeing this, Changchunzi hurriedly followed. The two of them walked through several halls and stopped in a courtyard.
Changchunzi looked around, but saw that the courtyard was empty. There were no flowers, grass, trees, pavilions, tables and chairs. Even the ground was an ordinary yellow mud ground. However, when Xu Zhuang stopped, he knew There must be some clue that I couldn't see, so I didn't speak out rashly.
Xu Zhuang's eyes seemed to be following some traces on the ground, and landed in the center of the courtyard. He walked closer and took a look, and raised his eyebrows slightly. He waved his sleeves, and a gentle breeze blew by, rolling away several layers of soil. Make a hole as big as the wrist.
The hole didn't look big, but it looked pitch black, and I didn't know where it led. Xu Zhuang looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "I'm going to explore this hole. Fellow Taoist, please wait outside."
Hearing this, Changchunzi hurriedly responded, Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, and without any further delay, he used the earth escape technique and escaped into the hole.
Although the hole was small, it was extremely deep inside. Xu Zhuang fled inward for more than a thousand feet without reaching the bottom. Instead, it opened up and was gradually large enough for one person to pass through. Steps appeared on the ground.
Xu Zhuang did not stop, but escaped inside for another two breaths. Suddenly his eyes widened and he broke into an empty cave.
The cave occupies a small area, about two to three hundred feet. There are several stone pillars around it, and there are demon statues with different postures carved around them. The appearance is not very clear, but it is not a lack of craftsmanship. It seems to be done deliberately, and it is obviously not a great success. Shape, but it seems that from the outline, you can feel the ferocious and boundless power of the sky and the ground.
Xu Zhuang appeared and stepped into the cave. When he saw these demon statues, his eyes became a little darker. As far as he knew, only the Demonic Sect enshrined various demonic statues, which seemed to be similar to the Demonic Sect. It is related to the fundamental Taoism. Now it seems that the origin of the Demon Sect monks here has been revealed.
Xu Zhuang looked carefully and didn't notice any clues on the carved pillars of the demon statue. He walked slowly inside and came to the middle of the cave. Here he built a simple altar made of black earth, only five or six feet tall. It is tall and over a foot wide, with talismans like ant characters painted around it, but a magic sword is inserted in the middle, with a one-foot sword blade exposed on the altar, no more, no less.
"Huh?" Xu Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly and walked around the altar, but he was a little surprised.
Could it be that the Demon Sect monks worked so hard to sweep away the mountains, even destroying the mountains and cutting down the temples, and committed many crimes, just to set up an altar to isolate the earth?
He had never thought that the Demon Sect could commit such a thing as sacrificing the blood of the surrounding mountains to refine the spell. It is true that even if there are hundreds of millions of creatures, it is only a small number in the Xuanhuang Realm, let alone tens of millions, but this is still a small number in the Xuanhuang Realm. Something the door will never tolerate.
Maybe there are not a few Taoists in the Demon Sect that are as cruel as Thousands of Darkness and Ghost Clouds, but even in this chaotic time when the Demon Sect is about to break out, no one dares to commit such murderous crimes in the Xuanhuang Realm. Perhaps this is also the reason why there has not been a large-scale conflict between the mysterious demons.
It's just that the Demon Sect has painstakingly arranged it, but what is its plan?
Xu Zhuang thought about how he and Chang Chunzi had been looking for them all the way, and the places they passed were all isolated by the earth's energy, as if they were drawn in a line, and he nodded.
If you could know the route arranged by the Demon Sect monks to block the earth energy, you might be able to get a glimpse of it. However, Xu Zhuang was not interested in playing any mystery-probing and suspenseful games with the Demon Sect monks, otherwise he would not have allowed Venerable Lingshan to see him. With his appearance, he was still allowed to go back and report the news.
What the enemy wants is what I don't want. Xu Zhuang did not hesitate. Suddenly, the clouds above his head were released. The aura shimmered and shone majestically. An innate Taisu Yiqi sword rose from within and he took it out. He was about to grab it. With one palm strike, the altar was destroyed. His spiritual consciousness moved and he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Although the purpose of this altar is to block the earth's energy, it is actually connected to lock the direction of the earth's veins. With his palm, not only the altar will be destroyed, but the earth's veins in Languan Mountain and the surrounding mountains will also be destroyed. I am afraid that they will turn into Xizhou. place of death.
Although Xu Zhuang was a courageous man, he still did not want to do such a thing that would harm the harmony of heaven and earth until it was absolutely necessary.
In this case, Xu Zhuangdun changed his magical power and used his innate Tai Su Yiqi to grab it. He gently gathered it on the magic sword and pulled it out gently!
Boom!
Changchunzi was waiting alone on Nalanguan Mountain. He was already a little nervous. The mountain suddenly shook and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was able to react in time and stood still. Only then did he realize that the entire Languan Mountain, and even the nearby The mountains shook.
Changchunzi's expression changed, and he thought, "Could it be that the Venerable encountered a demon sect traitor underground?"
When he was worried, he suddenly realized that the shaking force of the mountains had not escalated. It only maintained a stable force and shook gently. It did not seem like there were really powerful people fighting underground. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and maintained On guard, he continued to watch the hole in the ground.
In the heart of the mountain, facing the shaking of the mountains, Xu Zhuang's expression remained unchanged and he maintained his magical power. The magic sword had been grabbed by the innate Taisu Yiqi and pulled out half a foot, and it was slowly pulled out from the altar with a steady momentum. .
Even though he looked so relaxed, actually trying to pull out the magical sword would undoubtedly require continuous struggle with the surrounding earth, which would be much more difficult than pulling up mountains and moving mountains.
No wonder there is no one guarding the altar. It may be because the Demon Sect is short of manpower, but if ordinary people come, they may not be able to damage the Demon Sect's layout.
After half a moment like this, Xu Zhuang pulled out the magic sword from the altar. It was clear that he used his own magic power to wear away the earth energy accumulated in the surrounding earth veins. This also caused great damage to the surrounding mountains' spiritual energy, but after all, the earth veins Still surviving, it can still be revived as time goes by, but it avoids the disaster of turning into a dead place.
When the magic sword was pulled out, the vibrations of the mountains stopped at the same time, and then there was spiritual energy coming out. Although it was extremely weak, it had obviously broken through the earth vein blockage. Only then did Xu Zhuang capture the innate Tai Su Yi Qi Da. He put it away and calmly glanced at the surrounding demon statues and carved pillars.
After ruining the Demon Sect's deliberate arrangement, he expected that he would no longer be able to tolerate it. Xu Zhuang smiled, lifted up his clothes, used his escape technique again, and walked back the way he came.
——
Not long after Venerable Lingshan escaped from Xu Zhuang's hands, although he was still in shock, there was still a glimmer of ecstasy in his heart. Although he didn't know Xu Zhuang's origin, he had memorized Xu Zhuang's appearance, and he expected it to be enough to make a deal.
Although it was a pity that the Taoist disciple could not save him, he still had a bright future after all, he had not lived more than half his life. At this time, he was only happy in his heart, and he quickly escaped, flew over the mountains, and came to a green mountain. The two saintly sons of the Demon Sect with distinct styles are still in their original places.
Venerable Lingshan flew down and saw Chiming and Shaoqiang coming to pay attention. He knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "I have seen these two holy sons in Xiaodao."
Hearing this, Chi Ming was expressionless, but Shao Qian smiled slightly and asked, "You act neatly. Have you found out about that person's origin?"
Venerable Lingshan said hurriedly: "The specific origin of that person is unknown, but his appearance has been recorded."
Shaoqian frowned slightly, suppressed his smile, and said, "In that case, please show me that person's appearance."
Venerable Lingshan stood up hurriedly and raised his finger in the air. After all, he was also a monk who had become a Nascent Soul, so it was easy for him to use magic power to create images. He easily presented the image of Xu Zhuang, from his appearance to his appearance. Dress without any mistakes.
Seeing this image, Chi Ming also cast his gaze over and raised his eyebrows slightly. Shao Qian even narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "It turns out to be him."
Seeing that Shaoqian seemed to know the origin of Xu Zhuang, Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hands and said: "Holy Son, the news has been brought to you, can you remove the forbidden law for me?"
"Oh?" Shaoqian laughed softly and said, "But the mission I gave you was to find out the origin of this person, but you seem to have failed to do it."
"What?" Lingshan's expression changed, his thoughts changed rapidly, he did not dare to argue, and said hurriedly: "Holy Son, spare your life, Xiaodao is willing to serve as a good example for the Holy Son..."
Shao Qiang calmed down his expression and shook his head. Suddenly he pointed a finger, and Lingshan suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood and Qi mixed mist. With Shao Qian's gentle inhalation, it turned into a line and poured into his nose. In the orifice.
Then a trace of rosiness appeared on Shaoqian's face, he closed his eyes as if enjoying it, clicked his tongue twice, and then said: "The foundation is not bad."
Chi Ming looked on, sneered, and said: "It's really sanctimonious, insidious and despicable."
"Could it be that our Demonic Intention Sect is an upright Xuanmen sect?" Shao Qian pretended to be confused and asked, then smiled: "Besides, this person is so naughty that he failed to complete the task I gave him, but he can't be I broke my promise.”
Chi Ming did not respond, changed the subject and asked, "Do you know that person? How did he come from?"
Shaoqian was really surprised at this meeting, and said with a smile: "Chengxuan came into the world with a pure appearance, and has been a wonderful fairy for thousands of years. You don't know such a person, are you afraid that you will die in their hands at any time? "
"Oh, he is Xu Zhuang." Chi Ming said expressionlessly: "The Thousand Years Immortal Wind is just something the three sects put out to support the scene. After him, Lingbao Sect also came up with something. 'Zai Daozi'?" Even so, Chi Ming's eyes actually showed a hint of excitement.
"Perhaps." Shao Qian said noncommittally: "After all, this Thousand Years Immortal Feng has truly surpassed Zhong Shenxiu, so he should not be underestimated."
When Zhong Shenxiu was mentioned, Chi Ming's face became slightly more solemn. In fact, it seems that they, the holy sons of the Demon Sect, have been practicing for hundreds of years longer than Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Zhuang, so why do they have such a big name? It may not be possible to suppress them, but Zhong Shenxiu is an exception.
After all, not long ago, this born Daozhen made a big splash in the Demon Sect.
While the two were talking, a question suddenly came from the question: "Xu Zhuang?"
Chi Ming and Shao Qian looked to the side and saw a graceful figure walking out of the cave on the side. A clear and gentle voice came from under the white gauze and asked: "He is here?"
Behind her, there was also a Taoist priest in linen who seemed to be in his thirties with gray beard and hair. Seeing this person, both of them had a hint of fear deep in their eyes.
Hearing her words, Chi Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and responded, "Yes, Junior Sister Shi also knows this person?"
Shi Shi frowned slightly and said, "My little sister not only recognizes him, but she also has a grudge against this person."
Chi Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Isn't this just right? Xu Zhuang has blocked the way for the elders under my command to decorate the altar. Why don't we go and kill him together? It will kill three birds with one stone. .”
The first one sweeps away the obstruction of the earth's energy, the second one helps Shi Shi to resolve the cause and effect, and the third one, being able to kill the powerful Taoist disciple of the Xuan Sect is undoubtedly an act of helping the demon to rise and disappear.
Unexpectedly, before Shi Shi said anything, Shaoqian smiled and said: "If he wants to protect the Shenmu Dojo, it's up to him. Now that thing has been trapped in this category by us and is heading towards the Shenmu Dojo." Maybe it’s not that big, it’s just a little extra effort.”
Chi Ming said expressionlessly: "What if he comes for us?"
Shaoqian responded: "Then we'll talk about it later."
Before Chi Ming could speak, he suddenly frowned deeply and sneered: "The forbidden altar set up by my subordinates has been broken into pieces. Do you still have any luck?"
Hearing the sound, Shaoqian also began to ponder, but after a while he suddenly said: "What do you think, Junior Sister Shi?"
Shi Shi looked into the distance, as if looking through thousands of miles of mountains, towards the Shenmu Dojo, and responded: "This is a matter of your sect. The two senior brothers can make their own decisions. The younger sister is just helping out under the order of the sect."
This statement seemed to let the two of them decide, but Chi Ming's eyebrows furrowed deeper and he said nothing. Shaoqian asked: "It seems that even if the two of us are determined to fight with that Xu Zhuang, the junior sister will not help?"
Shi Shi smiled slightly and said: "My little sister has not yet accomplished her mysterious skills. If she sees that man's face, she will be killed by him, but she is not willing to take the risk."
Chi Ming said coldly: "Junior sister's implication is that with our combined strength, we are no match for Xu Zhuang?"
Shi Shi just smiled in response, but Shao Qian fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said: "If he is really as talented as Zhong Shenxiu, or even better, we may not be able to win him."
"You two may not be overly inflating the prestige of others. How long has Xu Zhuang been practicing Taoism, with a similar name, and he has almost perfected the mystical skills of Zhong Shenxiu?"
Chi Ming said expressionlessly: "What's more, we have dozens of elders under our command, all of whom are at the second level of Nascent Soul. With the combined strength, why can't we just do him alone?"
Shaoqian said: "The number of people is completely meaningless to the words of such people, but the lesson of manifold is still vivid in my mind."
Chi Ming sneered and said: "That guy from Jumanixing only knows how to show off his subtle tricks. Can it be possible to gather the power of the crowd? It is reasonable for him to be defeated by Zhong Shenxiu."
Shao Qian knew that Chi Ming didn't like the manifold, and he didn't care about his attitude. He just said lightly: "The manifold is not only about gathering the strength of the crowd, but also knowing and doing with one heart. It doesn't work. We The people under my command are even less comparable."
It is extremely strange to know that this person, Jie Liuxing, is actually born with the ability to occupy the human body and spirit of others and refine his body into other people's bodies. Moreover, his actions are just like his own body.
I don’t know when Jumanixing unknowingly infiltrated into the demon sect. All the four major demon sects have his other incarnations, and even the true disciples of the Manifestation Sect have been transformed by him.
If he hadn't met with the real disciple of Xianling Sect as a true disciple, and the real person saw through it, and had to be exposed as a last resort, the four major demon sects might not even know about this person's existence. However, Xianling Sect did not punish this person. Instead, he was officially listed as a true successor, and it was because of this that the name Jumanixing was truly known.
If this incident can be said to have caused an uproar among the four major demon sects, then the fact that Jumanixing gathered a dozen of his incarnations to ambush Zhong Shenxiu shocked the four major demon sects even more.
The true body of the Manifestation Sect that Jumanyu used openly and openly was the result of hundreds of years of cultivation. He was the same generation as Chiming Shaoqian and the others. The incarnations he gathered actually included two Nascent Souls refined from top-grade golden elixirs. Cultivation level, and more than ten middle and low-grade infant body cultivators, the strength he exposed for this reason is comparable to that of some medium-sized sects.
However, such a powerful force was defeated by Zhong Shenxiu, and was almost killed by him. Therefore, Zhong Shenxiu's name, which had been dormant for a long time, was spread among the demon sect again, causing many people to be jealous. fear.
Chi Ming actually knew that what he said was reasonable, so he closed his eyes and felt unhappy, and asked: "In that case, how are you going to deal with it?"
Shaoqian smiled and said: "Chiming, I am not afraid of Xu Zhuang, but I have to be fully prepared if I have to fight with him."
Chi Ming was speechless, but Shao Qian knew that he had heard it, so he said: "If you want to break the altar, let him break it. We have already accomplished most of the work, and we don't want to pay the price."
Chi Ming's brows moved slightly, and then he heard Shao Qian say confidently: "When I release Yin Shanzun to cover the place, it will also be able to trap the thing. If Xu Zhuang has the courage to attack, you and I can borrow Yinshan Zun's help." If you want help, you can keep him here."
Chi Ming's eyes narrowed and he asked: "You really dare to release Lord Yinshan, and are you not afraid of being eaten by Lord Yinshan?"
Shaoqian chuckled lightly and said: "Yinshan Lord has been surrendering to me for a hundred years, how can he escape from my control?"
"Okay." Chi Ming pondered for a while and then replied: "Then it will be as you said, but since you want to release Lord Yin Shan, there is no reason to overdo it with talents. You need to think of a way to attract Xu Zhuang here."
Shao Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Whatever you want, I'll prepare it first." After saying this, he waved his sleeves and fled away with a twist of his heels.
At this time, Chi Ming turned his gaze and fell on Shi Shi. He seemed to have guessed the expression in her only exposed eyes, and said calmly: "Even so, junior sister still doesn't want to help me? "
Shi Shi lowered his eyes and said, "It's not that I don't want to do it, but it's because I don't have enough merit. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to participate."
Chi Ming turned his eyes between her and the gray-bearded Taoist for a few times before speaking: "That's fine, but if Shaoqian and I can kill that man with the help of Lord Yinshan, we will also settle our grudges for you, junior sister. Can you help me attract that Xu Zhuang?"
Shi Shi frowned and said, "What do you want me to do, senior brother?"
Seeing that she was willing to agree, Chi Ming nodded and said: "This matter is easy to hear. Since junior sister has a grudge against that person, she only needs to show her face a little bit. I will write to him again and invite him to come. I believe he will not refuse." It means rejection."
Speaking of this, Chi Ming sneered and said: "If he doesn't dare to come, let's forget it. Then it must be in vain."
Shi Shi seemed to laugh when he heard this, and said after a while: "Okay, let's just follow what senior brother said."
Chi Ming nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "In that case, I also need to prepare some means, so I will leave first."
"Senior brother, just go on your own." Chi Ming no longer stayed, and turned into a black light and fled away.
Until this time, Shi Shi sighed softly and said to himself: "How could Xu Zhuang's cultivation level increase so much? If this continues, if I can't refine the Nascent Soul Dacheng before him, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this disaster. .”
She seemed to have a question as she spoke, but she received no answer. She didn't care, and was about to go back into the cave. After taking two steps, she suddenly asked: "Uncle, can you help me kill this person?" ?”
Only then did the gray-bearded Taoist's face show any change, and he responded calmly: "My merits can no longer be regarded as belonging to Yuanying. If I kill him, I'm afraid it will cause a formal dispute between our sect and the Taisu Zongzong." conflict."
Shi Shi sighed: "In that case, Master Shishu should just treat his disciples as nonsense."
The gray-bearded Taoist was silent for a while, and said: "There are not all those who can act innocent, so why should my nephew care so much? As long as my nephew can cultivate himself, there will be no calamity."
After a pause, the gray-bearded Taoist said again: "That Dao Miao may be extremely powerful for a while, and it is unknown whether it can achieve Yuan Shen. Master nephew, don't be too discouraged."
Shi Shi just responded: "Disciple knows."
The gray-bearded Taoist nodded, said nothing, and silently followed Shi Shi into the cave.
