At the beginning of summer, the vast grassland holy lake Qianyuancuo has water as clear as a mirror. The rows of yak tents beside the lake have disappeared. Winter herders have already caught up with their cattle and sheep to graze, scattered across the vast dry plains. In every corner, the bells from the tower of Hongzhao Temple on the isolated island in the middle of the lake rang, and the desolate and melodious bells spread far and wide.
Under the water of the isolated island is the "Hidden Dragon Cave", a forbidden area of Tianluo Esoteric Sect. Inside the cave stands a huge Panlong Stone. The surface of this stone is engraved with mysterious seal characters and is surrounded by a black-yellow aura. If you look carefully, the top and bottom of this huge stone are convex. Some of the stones were lifted up, and the vague human shape was faintly visible. Bursts of earth-colored clouds filled the outside of the stones, lingering around the entire cave.
At this time, with the Panlong Stone as the center, there are nine lotus terraces surrounding them. The lotus terraces are suspended in the air. On four of the lotus terraces, there is a monk wearing a La Kui and a crimson robe sitting cross-legged. There is also a lotus terrace sitting on the lotus terrace. A skinny old monk with long eyebrows was none other than the great protector of the Tianluo Tantric Sect, "Dharma King Panlong".
"Panlong Cave" uses the Panlong Stone as the center of the array and sets up the "Xuankun Panlong Yin Yuan Array" to absorb the "Xutu Essence" and the pure earth spirit energy from the underground abyss to help the monks in the cave practice. , Zen Master Jindan of Tianluo Tantric Sect, if he has nothing else to do, he will retreat here for meditation.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air in the cave. It was a woman, sitting on the golden moon wheel. She was none other than Fairy Jianyue. As Jianyue appeared, time in the cave seemed to have stopped.
The nine lotus pedestals hovering in mid-air also stood still in mid-air, and even "King Panlong" seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, motionless.
Jian Yuexuan sat on the golden moon wheel, looking at the "Yin Yang Nirvana Curse" written all over the Panlong Stone, her brows furrowed and her face very ugly. She first came to this world about a hundred thousand years ago, driving and killing everyone. After all the monster clans, they soon discovered this innate spiritual stone.
The stone itself is a Panlong stone. It is only a seventh-grade rare stone, so it cannot be said to be rare. However, this stone has been nourished by the earth's veins for hundreds of thousands of years, and the innate spiritual veins are formed in the body.
If there is enough time, it can be transformed into a "spirit monster" and then guided to help it become an "innate stone man". It can also be regarded as a big help when it is brought to Kunlun in the future.
Moreover, when the innate spirit is born, it is dull and unaware, and if it is taught, enlightened, and wise, and helps it to practice and conform to the way of heaven, it seems to be an act of enlightenment, and it will definitely gain a lot of merit and form a good relationship.
It's just that the stone's innate spiritual veins were not complete at that time, and it was far from time. Every time he came to Dongyuan, Jian Yue would come to check the condition of this stone. He didn't want to come back after being trapped in the "foreign secret realm" for tens of thousands of years. This is the scene in front of me.
The innate strange stone body is given by heaven, guided by the magic circle, and external forces help it give birth to stone veins. This may seem to speed up the birth of the stone man, but in fact it goes against the way of heaven and is tantamount to destroying the fate of human beings.
Obviously this formation must have been created by these Tibetan monks. They used stones as a formation to absorb the essence of the earth for their own cultivation. Nine times out of ten, all the breath sucked in by the underground was taken away by these Tibetan monks, leaving only one or two. It is really abominable to nourish a heart of stone and benefit oneself at the expense of others.
This move not only goes against the body's instructions from heaven, but also forces external intervention to damage the innate spirituality of the stone, greatly reducing the spiritual potential of the stone.
In addition, most of the essence supplied by the earth's veins has been taken away, and it is like a fetus in the belly, which is undernourished. Even if the birth time of the stone man is greatly accelerated, it is still a "premature birth". The innate stone body will definitely be weak, and its luck can be said to be Destroyed.
What's even more disgusting is that these Tibetan monks also carved the "Heart-Capturing and Soul-Seizing Curse" on the stone. Before the stone was born, they first inscribed the Soul-Seizing Curse on the stone's heart, slowly eroding its innate soul. Since he was born, he can use the art of seizing the body to completely occupy this innate stone body, and he can make good calculations.
But they didn't expect that this stone was conceived by heaven. With their current meager cultivation and the rudimentary secrets of the formation, how could they possibly succeed? Trying to be smart is just asking for death.
There is no need for her to take action, cause and effect will have its own retribution. When this stone is born, these people will die. It is a pity that the luck of this stone is destroyed. Even if it is successfully born, it can only be regarded as a slightly special innate "spirit". ", I'm afraid it will be just as difficult to reach the Immortal Sect.
"What a pity!" Jian Yue couldn't help but shake her head. This is all God's will. The journey of cultivating Taoism is like this. There are many disasters. This stone is destined to have such disasters. Now she is helpless. If she helps, she will be affected by karma. She can only hope that she can Turn misfortune into good fortune and bring peace of mind!
"Hey! This immortal can only help you so much!" Jian Yue sighed, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. She softly chanted the immortal mantra and shot out a "soul protection decree". The decree flashed in and was hidden in the stone heart. In fact, the law can only protect the spiritual nature of this stone from being eroded by the soul-stealing curse, but it will still need to resist the catastrophe of body-stealing by itself.
After casting the fairy spell, Jian Yue took one last look at the Panlong Stone, which had already lost its human form, and then disappeared into the cave. Her fate with the stone was over.
At this time, the entire Panlong Stone trembled slightly like a living thing, as if it was grateful to the fairy for taking action. After Jian Yue left, the nine floating lotus terraces resumed circling, and the long-browed old monk on them opened his eyes with a puzzled face. Eye.
"Master! Do you have any instructions?" The current leader of the Tianluo Tantric Sect preached the Dharma. He felt something strange about his master, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and asked carefully.
"Nothing!" The long-browed old monk looked around the entire cave attentively. He didn't see anything unusual. He frowned, shook his head, and closed his eyes again.
But just now, an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, but he didn't know why. The old monk couldn't help but whispered in his heart: Amitabha, my Buddha protects me and protects my family from disasters!
…
The secret tunnel where the "Evil Wind Ghost Vine" was originally cultivated in the Ghost Forest Underground Mine has collapsed in several places, with large and small stones scattered around. It is a mess.
At this moment, four people were welcomed into the collapsed cave. The two majestic Taoists walking in front were "Zhenyi Zhenren", the leader of Huangsheng Sect, and "Zhenren Yinkui", the new leader of Wanyao Valley.
"What do you think, Taoist brother, of this matter?" Master Yinkui took a look at the mess in the cave and couldn't help but frowned and asked. After the last sect leader of Wanyao Valley, "Zhenren Ziwu", fell through the tribulation, "Yinkui" who had just opened his eight orifices had just opened his eyes. "Zhenren", but became the new sect master of Wanyao Valley.
"Hao Yi, did you feel anything unusual in the ghost forest that day?" Master Sheng Yi looked at the empty stone wall that was once covered with ghost vines and asked solemnly.
"Hao Yi didn't notice any movement that day. Even after a ghost cultivator disciple discovered that the "Evil Wind Ghost Vine" had not been reported, Hao Yi set out to carefully search the entire ghost forest and surrounding areas, but could not find any abnormalities or anything unusual. Traces of enemy invasion!!”
Bai Yucheng, who was following him, couldn't help but shook his head, and then continued: "That day, Senior Nephew Xuanyu led the mining team to mine underground, and he and the many miner disciples did not hear any sound!"
"Disciple Xuan Yu, I want to pay my respects to the sect master and meet the real person Yin Kui!" Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and paid his respects.
"Are you sure you didn't hear any sound?" Master Sheng Yi looked at Liu Yu and asked.
"Disciple is not sure! When the mining team mines minerals, they will make various noises such as knocking and collision. It is also possible that there was indeed movement here at that time, but the sound was just covered by the mining of minerals!" Liu Yu said truthfully, that day He really didn't hear any movement. Afterwards, when he learned that his junior sister had disappeared together with the guarding "Evil Wind Ghost Vine", he rushed here as soon as possible, but this was the scene before him.
Liu Yu has been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days. He doesn't know whether his junior sister is alive or dead, nor what happened that day. Fortunately, the trouble is serious, and the two sect leaders personally came to the ghost forest to investigate. The two are highly cultivated, hoping to find some clues. , find out the whereabouts of the missing junior sister.
However, even if Liu Yu tried hard to convince himself that the junior sister had just disappeared and did not necessarily encounter an accident, Liu Yu also knew in her heart that the messy scene in the cave had been completely burned, with only a few remaining in some corners. Judging from the "Evil Wind Ghost Vine" in the dust, the junior sister is probably in danger.
"The person who came here easily avoided Hao Yi, and then quietly destroyed this place in a very short period of time without leaving a trace. His cultivation level is obviously much higher than Hao Yi's, and I'm afraid he is not inferior to you and me!" Master Sheng Yi! Shen Sheng said to Master Yinkui beside him.
"Indeed! Even a poor Taoist would find it difficult to do all this. Who could have done it? The Reincarnation Palace? Or someone from the Jian Yue Immortal Sect? I heard that the ghost cultivator disciples guarding this place by your sect also disappeared mysteriously!" Yin Kui's real face showed a look on his face. Said solemnly.
"It shouldn't be the work of the Jian Yue Immortal Sect! If this move is against our two sects hiding ghost cultivator disciples in the forest, there is no need to go to so much trouble and just send supervisors to seal the ghost forest. If the Jian Yue Immortal Sect wants to kill chickens to scare the monkeys , it’s never Yunzhou’s turn!”
Master Sheng Yi immediately shook his head, and then asked his disciple Bai Yucheng: "Have there been any changes in the traces of the guarding ghost cultivator disciple these days?"
"It's still the same as that day. The ghost cultivator's remnant soul imprisoned in the Dharma plate is still there, but the Dharma plate cannot show the direction and distance of the ghost cultivator disciple. If there is something wrong with the Dharma plate, you can monitor other The ghost cultivators are all normal and can display the correct position and distance!" Bai Yucheng took out the "Guardian Disk" and said in confusion.
"Sixth Elder! Could it be that Junior Sister Xuanzhi was taken away under the coercion of the perpetrator and was too far away, so the "guard plate" cannot show the distance?" Liu Yu was impatient and couldn't help but add a sentence.
"No! Even if they are too far apart, the location should still be displayed, and Pindao had already inspected it that day. It is the same as now. Unless the other party has reached the level of spiritual infant, the inspection of the "Supervisory Pan" can be blocked!" Bai Yucheng shook his head and said.
"There is no need to dwell on this matter. In all likelihood, this ghost cultivator disciple has been killed. The remaining soul in the magic plate is only protected by the magic weapon and has not dispersed yet!" Master Sheng Yi said in a deep voice.
"Is it really possible that the Reincarnation Hall did it?" Master Yinkui asked doubtfully. He came to destroy the "Evil Wind Ghost Vine" and take revenge on Huang Shengzong in order to avenge the loss of his subordinates more than 20 years ago? If this is really the case, it is really the path of a villain and it is really shameless!
"Maybe!" Master Sheng Yi sighed and replied. "Evil wind ghost vine" likes to grow in ghost places where evil spirits condense, and it is extremely difficult to transplant. He just deliberately destroyed this vine. This move can be said to be harmful to others, and it is consistent with the Palace of Reincarnation. It's not like the uninterested behavior.
Although he felt that there was something fishy about this matter in his heart, Master Sheng Yi could not think of any other possibility. The Jindan elders of the Tianluo and Spirit Beast sects had been secretly paying attention to his movements and had not sneaked into the ghost forest. The possibility of destruction, after thinking about it, is that the Reincarnation Hall is the most suspect.
"Hao Yi, although the "Evil Wind Ghost Vine" has been destroyed, there is something fishy about it. You'd better stay here for the past few years to avoid anything else happening! Secondly, pay attention on weekdays to see if you can find out anything. Clues!" Master Sheng Yi thought for a moment and said cautiously.
"Disciple, take the order!" Bai Yucheng responded hurriedly.
"What Brother Taoist said is true. Ghost Forest is an important place for two sects. Things have happened one after another. We should be cautious. If I return to my sect, I will let "Purple Light" come to station for a while!" Master Yinkui nodded in agreement and said, "Ziguang" is, like Bai Yucheng, a Jindan elder from Wanyao Valley.
