Zhao Ning and Shi Yueze didn't have to go to Kunxu so much trouble, but they still had to take care of these people from Ji Jian Peak. They followed Shi Yueze out, and Shi Yueze couldn't ignore them.
The carriage drove by, but Zhao Ning did not get off. She was invisible in the clouds high in the sky, looking at the rolling mountains to the east.
Shi Yueze was curious about what she was doing and appeared next to him. He smiled when he saw it, "It is said that the Qianren Mountains are the relics left by the previous great destruction. I heard that it was the war between heaven and man at that time that overturned the ground. You The mountains you see are not on the surface, but underground. You see, these rocks can only be found thousands of miles underground."
Zhao Ning nodded. She knew that although the Qianteng Mountains could not be crossed by spells or crossed, some areas on the periphery could still be walked up. There were often cultivators who went to the Qianteng Mountains like mortals. From the mountains Find some strange ores.
"The battle between heaven and man, such a fight, will shake the entire Kyushu."
"Otherwise, how can we call it a great destruction?" Shi Yueze said calmly.
"However, there is only the Dao of Heaven in Kyushu. Just the war between heaven and man will not cut off the entire Taoism of Kyushu. As a result, in the past tens of thousands of years, cultivators have lacked the Taoism of their predecessors, and their own Taoism has become increasingly far away from the Tao, making cultivation more difficult. Finally, We can still only pursue things from ancient times and ancient times, but these leftovers are closer to the great road."
Zhao Ning knew that this was the reason why cultivators nowadays are obsessed with visiting ancient caves and ancient exercises. How could it be possible to subvert or break the Taoism that has been passed down by predecessors for millions of years or even longer in a thousand or ten thousand years? .
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the clouds in the sky are gradually disappearing with the strong wind. If they stay any longer, the unique clouds will appear more abrupt.
Zhao Ning and Shi Yueze returned to the carriage.
They walked all the way along the border, and did not step into Dayue Kingdom's area, but just in the blank areas on both sides.
After walking for a long time, he saw a tea soup not far away. Shi Yueze's third disciple, Ding Yongyuan, immediately became excited.
"Master, this tea shop is the place where I told you that the immortal showed me the way."
Taking this path was because Ding Yongyuan specifically mentioned this matter and wanted to take the opportunity to come and look back at the common people. It would be better if he could use this to kill the common people.
Shi Yueze raised his eyebrows, still feeling strange.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes and looked at the tea shop. The tea shop was very simple, with a straw shed set up in one place. The "tea" canvas hanging on the straw shed had completely faded and was fluttering in the wind. It was already quite old. At the back is a small earthen stove made of yellow mud. Something is still burning in the earthen stove. There is no thick smoke, and only the fragrance of old tea can be smelled.
Because Zhao Ning was here, Ding Yongyuan also explained, "When I came out of Dayue Kingdom, I only held a book of legends of immortals in my hand. I just felt that there must be immortals in the east, so I kept walking eastward for several days. Years ago, I was exhausted, but I still didn’t meet the gods. But I was lucky enough to come across this tea shop. The old man in the shop gave me a cup of tea and asked me where I was going. At that time, I replied impatiently, "Looking for Go away."
Ding Yongyuan thought about what happened at that time, and still resented his disrespectful attitude, "But as soon as I got up, the old man said to me, don't go east. The east is a dead end. Only by going up can there be hope."
To ordinary people, Lingwu Forest is indeed a dead land, and walking up is the path Zhao Ning and the others took when they came. As long as they persevere, they can reach the Bianzhou Cultivation World one day.
Shi Yueze touched his chin, "It sounds like he has some skills, but this old man seems to be just an ordinary person with no cultivation. Could he be a stranger or Master Nascent Soul who has transformed into a god?"
He became interested and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go and meet you."
"Hey, Master, don't play tricks on him. He is really just a mortal." Ding Yongyuan was a little worried and chased him out.
The old man was already very old and was a little unsteady on crutches, but he still diligently cleaned the tea shop that few people visited.
He was probably deaf. Even though Shi Yueze and Ding Yongyuan didn't cover up their footsteps at all, he didn't hear them until they reached the old man's side.
His yellow eyes struggled to open.
Ding Yongyuan took the lead in bowing his hands and said, "Old man, I wonder if you remember me. Thirty years ago, you gave me the direction, which enabled me to meet Master by chance and step into the path of immortality. It was really the 'immortal guiding the way'. This special Come and say thank you.”
After saying this, he bowed to greet him. The old man hurriedly helped him up, his hoarse voice filled with fear.
"Don't bow down to the immortals, otherwise you will disappoint the old man. The old man is just a casual pointing finger, and he cannot be regarded as an immortal to guide the way."
"Indeed." Suddenly a voice interrupted.
Ding Yongyuan frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with why Shi Yueze was so straightforward.
But Shi Yueze did it on purpose. He squinted his eyes and looked at the old man up and down, making him look a little afraid. But he probably saw too many people in so many years and took it lightly.
So, he bowed in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I'm just an ordinary little old man. He also went to the world of cultivation when he was young. But he didn't have spiritual roots, couldn't become an immortal, and couldn't survive in the world of cultivation. After escaping, he looked away and stopped here. , guarding a tea shop and thatched hut, you can spend the rest of your life."
Shi Yueze was stunned, then his expression gradually changed, seeming to be filled with strange satisfaction and a hint of appreciation.
"Senior sister, do you think our master's eyes are a little strange?"
The junior brother in the carriage held his own tea and asked beside Kang Shan. Kang Shan just wanted to roll her eyes, seeing through Shi Yueze's thoughts, there was nothing she could do about such a master.
"You just joined the master, so you may not know it." Kang Shao tried to keep her tone tactful, "Master has a hobby, a weird kind of thing."
"Huh?" The junior brother was confused.
Then Shi Yueze chuckled and said, "I see that your bones are amazing and you are blessed with immortality. Why don't you join my family and be me..."
Shi Yueze paused, pinched his fingers, and then retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, "How about being my seventh apprentice?"
"Pfft..." The junior brother immediately spit out a mouthful of tea.
Zhao Ning didn't even move, a spiritual curtain passed in front of him to block out the splashing tea.
The younger junior brother was extremely panicked, "I'm sorry, Master Lin, I didn't mean it, I just couldn't help it."
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Ning was also helpless, "We can never guess your master's thoughts."
Not to mention them, even the old man was stunned. He even subconsciously looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Shi Yueze in disbelief.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he is handsome and handsome, and he is always on the periphery of the world of cultivation. The old man also knows that gods are immortal. The immortal in front of him may be hundreds of years old, but... But he still can't help it. The scene in front of him looks like a young man. The younger generation is playing a big joke on Grandpa.
The old man couldn't accept it for a while, so he bowed and said, "Don't scare me, immortal. This old man is eighty-three this year. People who are about to be buried, even if they have immortality, are not qualified to enjoy it. What's more, I really didn't have the spirit back then." There is no way to cultivate your roots.”
Shi Yueze said, "It doesn't matter that you are only eighty-three. I am already nearly two hundred years old. I see that you are determined and have persisted here for seventy years. Even ordinary cultivators cannot compare to your character. Besides, what are you cultivating? Spiritual Root Avenue, the ancient path is the orthodox way of cultivation. The ancient path does not require any spiritual roots. The ancient path only requires the bones. With your seventy years of persistence and mental training, as soon as you enter the path, you will have an epiphany and practice a thousand miles."
The old man opened his eyes wide, and for a moment he couldn't believe everything he heard.
Shi Yueze waited patiently with a smile.
After a long while, the old man raised his hand tremblingly, "You, what you said is true."
"I am a half-step Nascent Soul, and every word I say is a testimony of heaven. Why should I lie to you?"
The old man knelt down at this moment. For seventy years, he only thought that he would become a handful of loess, but he didn't expect that he would get such a great opportunity with his feet half in the soil.
He kowtowed heavily, "Master, please bow to me from the old man Zhou Qing."
"You see." In the carriage, Kang Shao said calmly, "Our master is not only addicted to alcohol but also likes to accept apprentices. The sixth junior sister has not been born yet, and the seventh junior brother has already entered the family tree."
Zhao Ning lowered his eyes. Although his face was expressionless, the book in his hand had not turned a page for a long time. He was completely shocked by Shi Yueze's operation.
Shi Yueze led Zhou Qing into the carriage, followed by Ding Yongyuan, who looked confused. Why did this matter develop like this? It was obviously him who wanted to thank him, but why did the person thanking him turn out to be his junior brother?
The old man got on the carriage and bowed his hands to everyone politely.
Zhao Ning slowly turned the page, but she didn't want Shi Yueze to stare at Zhao Ning, "Master Lin, Junior Sister Lin, this new nephew, you want it no matter what..." He rubbed his two fingers together, Instructing Zhao Ning to show his expression no matter what.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes and saw Shi Yueze hinting, "You got a lot of good pills in Jihan Palace."
Zhao Ning was helpless, "He can't eat it."
He turned his hand and handed over a spiritual peach, "Let's use it as a greeting gift."
The other disciples didn't recognize it, they only felt that the spiritual peach was plump and round, with a fragrant fragrance that made people salivate.
Shi Yueze's eyes lit up, "I knew you had a lot of good things."
He handed it to the old man, who held it in confusion and at a loss.
"This is the Lingshou Peach. It can increase your life span by ten to fifty years. You no longer have to worry about your longevity."
The old man was shocked and knelt down again.
But a ray of breeze lifted the old man up, and she said calmly, "This is an ordinary courtesy, no need to thank him profusely." Besides, Zhao Ning was not as old as him, so kowtowing like this always gave the illusion that his life would be shortened.
Driving until night, the carriage was replaced by the Wind Spirit Boat. After traveling like this for only half a month, they arrived at the boundary of Kunxu.
When crossing the Lingwu Forest, Zhao Ning took a special look. The scope of the Lingwu Forest seemed to be more spread than before, and the cracks in the forest seemed to be more dense.
She thought in her mind that this space crack would eventually lead to the Netherworld of Cultivation. She wondered whether the changes in the Spirit Mist Forest were related to the Netherworld of Cultivation.
Returning to Yuancheng after more than twenty years, it seems that nothing has touched me.
Shi Yueze has always been high-profile and not repressive. He settled a group of people from Ji Jian Peak in Guiyuan City and took five people with foundation building cultivation and Zhao Ning to Danling Valley.
Zhao Ning has never been to the Danling Valley. He only knows that the Danling Valley is among the canyons of many mountains. The canyon is extremely long, stretching for dozens of kilometers, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is deposited. It is a natural holy land for cultivation. In addition, the mountains are high and the valleys are high. Deep, it has formed the Five Elements Divine Evil by itself, and under the formation of the ancestors, the Five Elements Divine Evil has floated above the head, creating a natural barrier.
But before Zhao Ning and others got close to the canyon, they felt the strong filthy air ten miles away.
Get closer, and you will see that everything within ten miles outside the canyon is shrouded in a thin black mist. The black mist is filled with death, evil, and evil spirits. If you are lacking in cultivation, you will feel dizzy and stunned as soon as you enter. After a long time, there are even signs of going crazy.
"It seems that Kunxu really has no one. With so many evil cultivators gathered here, Kunxu doesn't have a large sect to deal with it." Shi Yueze frowned.
There are evil cultivators hiding in all walks of life in Kyushu. Back then, there were evil cultivators gathered in Guigu Gang in Guiyuan City. These evil cultivators did not follow the path and took pleasure in killing and killing. They liked to use the remaining blood and death energy on corpses to practice. They also knew how to practice. Using all kinds of cruel and inhumane killing methods to improve one's cultivation is something that everyone in Kyushu can punish. However, as long as the human race still exists, evil cultivators will be everywhere. After all, human nature hides evil and cannot be avoided.
Shi Yueze was too lazy to take action. He raised his chin and commanded his disciples and attendants, "I have carried it with Wanjian Sect. The sword is probably rusty. I will leave it to you to practice and fight quickly."
"Yes!" Several people responded in unison, and then scattered into the evil cultivator's territory.
Zhao Ning and Shi Yueze rode the clouds high in the sky and walked slowly towards Danling Valley.
"This place in Danling Valley is still too dark. If everything goes well, I will expand to the surrounding area and raise my Extreme Sword Peak again."
"There seem to be several cultivation families nearby. They should have been affiliated with Danling Valley."
"Just in time, we need to rebuild the sect and we are short of manpower."
Shi Yueze was still thinking about the future plans of the sect, when he heard a scream and lowered his eyes.
But below, he saw Ji Zong facing an ugly evil cultivator.
The skin of the evil cultivator was all ulcerated, and the white bones of his fingers were exposed. The white bones of his fingers seemed to have been polished, forming the shape of a bone flute.
He blew it against his mouth, and the scream came again. In response to the scream, countless ghost figures emerged from the black mist. There were no human figures in these ghost figures, and they were twisted as if something had been pulled out of the body | ripped out. The ghosts gathered more and more, surrounding Ji Zong on three levels inside and three outside. At this moment, the evil cultivator merged into the ghosts, and completely disappeared into the black mist through the layers of ghosts.
"It's really useless." Shi Yueze shook his head.
Zhao Ning's fingertips flickered a little light, the light was like a sword, and he escaped into the black mist for a moment, only to hear a miserable cry coming from somewhere half a mile away.
The evil cultivator's soul dissipated, and Zhao Ning scanned the overflowing soul light at will, but noticed an anomaly in his memory.
Two cultivators in strange red robes appeared in his sight.
This line of sight was peeping from a hole in the ground. The cultivator seemed to have noticed it. He secretly cursed "Damn rat" and slapped the evil cultivator almost to death.
It would be fine if they were just dressed strangely, but the time and location when these two cultivators appeared were even more wrong. They happened to appear outside the Sealing Spirit Cave when the Lingwu Demon Chaos was being resolved.
Looking at the posture, it seems that he is going to hide himself in it.
"Master Shi." Zhao Ning called out, and Shi Yueze was distracted from judging the disciples' Taoism. He saw a spiritual light pop up from Zhao Ning, and the spiritual light transformed into two cultivators in red robes, "Do you know the identities of these two people? "
After all, Shi Yueze has lived for nearly two hundred years and has more experience than Zhao Ning. As soon as he saw the robe, he guessed, "It seems to be someone from the Zhuzhou cultivation world."
The Zhuzhou Cultivation World is in the southwest corner, and the area is the smallest piece of land in the Kyushu Cultivation World. There are no well-known cultivation sects or families there, and they are low-key and have weird beliefs that are incompatible with most of the Kyushu Cultivation World. They like to wear red. robe, so no matter which cultivation world has close contact with them.
"But there's something different?"
Zhao Ning shook his head and dispersed his spiritual light, "This matter is unknown. I only know that in the memory of the evil cultivator, they appeared in Kunxu, after the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Extremely Evil Dafa incident in Danling Valley, and before the Kunxu Demon Rebellion."
