Yue Yi and the others walked westward after leaving the Zhulin Villa, but the prosperity was no longer the same as before. The streets used to be lively with people coming and going, but now there are only a few bones lying here and there. The skinny old man, the fields outside the village are barren, the trees are all bare, and even the weeds have only a few roots left, probably they were cut off soon after they grew...
People like Yan Yan and Huang Li who were used to seeing life and death couldn't help but shake their heads and remained silent when they saw this scene. Come to think of it, when they first arrived at the Zhulin Villa, the three of them fished for food in order to avoid people. Later, after getting in touch with the Yue Family Army's old headquarters, the Zhulin Villa was expanded, and supplies were regularly delivered every month, so they wanted to be isolated from the world. It has been nearly eight years, and I never imagined that under the leadership of the wise and powerful Emperor Zhao Zhen, the human race would have fallen to this.
"Uncle Yan, I feel uncomfortable, and I'm so worried!"
Yan Yan patted Yue Yi on the shoulder and said, "Keep walking. We are walking on this road just for change!"
After walking in silence for several days, various cruel realities refreshed the three people's understanding step by step. There were naked people everywhere, and they even encountered a few people who had exchanged their clothes for food. It was really shocking. .
After the three met, they all left letters, money and food, or went south to find the Li family, or east to find the Wang family... However, three feet of ice did not last a day, and how could a drop in the bucket solve the suffering of the human race?
After walking for a few more days, the three of them arrived at Wuyi Mountain.
The entire Wuyi Mountain seemed to be shrouded by a huge formation. The inside of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, full of vitality, but outside the mountain was covered with bones. Seeing this scene, Yue Yi said angrily: "Uncle Yan, can this broken cover be smashed?" Yan Yan Shaking his head, he said, "This is a mountain-protecting formation. If there are ten of me, maybe I can, but one of me can only open the passage for a moment. However, Xiaoyue, you have to remember that you can't just look at the surface, let alone Acting impulsively, otherwise what is the difference between you and those barbarians? Although Wuyi Mountain is the holy land of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, it is still dominated by Wuyi Palace. Let's go in and take a look, and we will know after a quick check!" Huang Li also patted Yue Yi. He pulled his shoulders and took two steps back. Yan Yan held his sword and pointed it in the air, and a few obscure characters instantly flew into the formation. The formation flickered slightly, and then an entrance opened, and then the three of them entered the formation.
After entering, the clouds and smoke that covered the area quickly dissipated, revealing towering ancient trees in the mountains and luxuriant water and grass in the river valleys. The three of them meandered along the mountain road before arriving at a dock. Huang Li walked into the forest and came back carrying a giant tree. With a simple swing, the giant tree fell into the water. Yan Yan said: "Let's go to Wuyi Palace!"
I saw the clear water of the stream, with lush bamboo trees on both sides, sometimes white cranes passing in the clouds, sometimes apes whistling in the mountain forest... It is really a beautiful scene with every step, and a picture with every song. Yue Yi's anger was immediately relieved a lot. When they reached the rock wall full of poems, Huang Li said, "Ask where the canal is so clear, so that there is a source of running water. Stinky old Jiu, why don't you go to Shuangren Academy to see your master?" Yan Yan looked disgusted. He said: "You are a reckless man and you are still dragging me down? If we don't agree with each other, what is there to do in that place?" After saying that, he turned his head. At this time, his eyes were red and two geysers of clear water were about to burst out of his body. .
"What a difference!" As soon as the voice fell, a dozen scholars wearing Confucian shirts and hats walked out of the forest. The leader was a middle-aged man. He saluted Yan Yan and said, "Master Yan, although you have become a teacher, have you forgotten the principle of respecting teachers and respecting morality?"
Yan Yan cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother Cheng Yi, I have not forgotten it. It's just that after many years of training, the path I follow is no longer Confucianism and Legalism, and I think the royal family you support is no longer the emperor who is a saint inside and a king outside." , his jealousy can trap the nation in the heat of water, and you always give the royal family a kingly and domineering teaching, but you have forgotten that the kingly way of Confucianism is benevolent government!"
Cheng Yi said: "The rise of the human race will inevitably go through hardships. Since the laws of nature exist, what's the point of some greedy and foolish people?"
Yan Yan was extremely angry after hearing this, "Cheng Yi, you are so careless about human life, you are not worthy of being a human being! Just show your sword, Xia Chong is speechless!"
At this time, Yue Yi could no longer bear such inhumane remarks, so he drew his knife and rushed forward. Cheng Yi said: "Jinglong."
After that, a scholar stepped forward lightly and slashed horizontally with his sword, forcing Yue Yi to stop. Yue Yi's body froze, and Jing Long stabbed straight with his sword again. Yue Yi fell into the water as if he was bearing a heavy hammer, and Jing Long fell into the water. Just as Long was about to pursue the victory, Yan Yan took out his talisman pen, and a protective formation immediately rose up to block Jing Long's slashing sword. Yan Yan said: "Cheng Yi! Do you think you will be my opponent?"
Cheng Yi said with a smile, "Master Yan, I haven't seen you for many years and I didn't expect that your strength has improved so much. However, if we attack him in a group, I'm afraid you won't be able to please us. Forget it, you go ahead. It's not our task to capture you. "After that, he led everyone to retreat. Cheng Yi said to Jinglong on the way, "Send a message to them, saying that Yue Yi has completed the test, which is reflected in that he is impulsive, irritable, and has mediocre martial arts. But Yan Yan's realm is too high and we, the Shuangren Academy, cannot deal with it. But it can help break the formation!"
After Cheng Yi and others left, Yue Yi swam out of the pool. Yan Yan asked: "Xiaoyue, why did you do this today?"
Yue Yi said: "The people in the academy may have come to test me, so I pretended to be a reckless man to show them, hoping to reduce my importance to my uncle."
Yan Yan nodded and said, "Zang Zhuo's approach is quite good. It's a bit like your Uncle Li. His name is Huang Li, but he relies on speed to make a living. He's really scheming!"
Huang Li laughed loudly after hearing this. After simply cleaning up, we went downstream again.
After turning a few twists and turns, a towering mountain peak suddenly appeared in front of us. I saw this mountain towering out, like a sharp sword that seemed to be thrust into the sky.
Yue Yi was stunned for a moment. After a while, Yue Yi said: "Uncle Yan, Uncle Li, I want to go up and have a look!" Huang Li looked up and said, "Okay!" After that, he held Yue Yi's hand. With his belt, a few rabbits rose and falcons fell, and soon they arrived at the top of the mountain. Yan Yan also waved his sleeves and flew up in the wind.
Yue Yi found a flat place and did the five-heart-to-the-sky pose. He saw spots of light from all over the mountains and clouds beginning to converge towards Yue Yi. Seeing this, Huang Li quickly put away his laziness and looked around. After touching it for about an hour, Yue Yi's body gradually glowed, and it gradually became brighter as time went by. After about another hour, the light on Yue Yi's body gradually dimmed. At this time, a beam of light suddenly shot down from the sky, shining directly on Yue Yi. Yue Yi gradually rose up and stopped after about seven feet. After a while, the light in the sky dissipated. Yue Yi jumped and landed safely. He turned around and said to Yan Yan: "Uncle Yan, the human race is difficult. The road we travel is so twists and turns. What are the things we do? It is not so difficult and dangerous, but today I, Yue Yi, swear here that no matter what I encounter on the road ahead, no matter whether my body is healthy or not, and no matter what reputation I will have in the future, my life will be like this. Breaking out of the ground, I opened up the clouds for the human race and found a way to survive. I lit a candle for the human race so that our race would not become the slaves of all races. I will fight for the rise of the human race throughout my life. Fight for the revival of humanity!”
Yan Yan was already in tears at this time, nodded and replied repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
At this time, a loud voice came through the air from the lower reaches of the stream, "Congratulations to Young Master Yue for realizing his destiny after seeing all living beings make great aspirations. Since an old friend of the Yue family is here to visit, why not come to the palace to talk to him?"
After Yan Yan heard this, he took out his talisman pen, and after a few crooked talismans flashed, the three of them flew into the air towards Wuyi Palace...
In front of the Sanqing Hall of Wuyi Palace, the three of them had just landed when they saw an old man with childish face and heavy hair coming up to him. The three of them quickly saluted and said, "Peng Zu is polite."
The old man returned the greeting and said: "You three are polite. Come into the palace and have a rest. A rough coffee table and pot have been prepared. Young Master Yue has just broken through. It may be helpful to have some tea."
"Thank you Peng Zu." After saying that, the three of them walked towards the palace under the guidance of the old man.
After walking through several corridors, they came to a pavilion. After the old man motioned for the three of them to sit down, he first poured a cup of fragrant tea for each of them, and then motioned for them to drink. Yue Yi picked it up, took a small taste, and felt the fragrance lingering on his teeth, and then a wisp of spiritual energy entered from his mouth and extended to his limbs and bones, and he felt extremely refreshed. Yue Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Good tea!"
The old man said: "Young Master Yue is so ridiculous. I wonder what the three of you are here to ask for."
Just as Yue Yi was about to speak, Yan Yan quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Peng Zu is polite, the three of us traveled all the way and died of hunger all over the place. The land was barren, but Wuyi Mountain, as the holy land of the three religions, has closed its doors. Why is this?"
Peng Zu stroked his beard and said helplessly, "It's a long story. Let's start with the death of your Yue family's army ten years ago, and the entire Yue Commander's family was destroyed. Not long after this incident, the military personnel were killed by Zhao His true Majesty changed a group of military commanders. After these military commanders took office, they began to crowd out the old members of the Yue Family Army. The Li Jiaqiang Archers were sent to the south to guard the borders of Nanzhou, and the Wang Family Iron Shield Army was sent to the east to guard the Monster Tribe. The Yang family's cavalry was thrown to the west to guard against the demons, while the Niu family and the Han family guarded the north to prevent the barbarians and demons from going south... Now the human army has basically fallen into Zhao Zhen's hands, and the demons have also completely occupied it. After Shanhaiguan was stabilized, there was basically no hope of regaining a large territory in Liaodong. Under this situation, the military began to forcibly recruit civilians to join the army, regardless of whether they knew martial arts or whether they knew the law. They used their lives to forcibly fill a line of defense. Otherwise, the North The earth has also been lost... That’s why you see this scene of ten rooms and nine empty spaces!”
Yan Yan said angrily: "Wuyi is the ancestral court of Taoism, why don't you go down the mountain to save the people? Have you forgotten the teachings of Taoist ancestors back then! Taoists, go back to seclusion and burn sandalwood in peace, and go down the mountain to calm the troubled times in times of chaos! This is the Taoist, Taoist priests are cultivating immortals, do you still remember what an immortal is? You must know that a person is an immortal only when he is on the side of a mountain! There are no people left, so you have nothing to do with cultivating!" When he said his anger, a humble gentleman like Yan Yan began to swear. It was not because of etiquette. Stay, but not to the point of sadness.
Peng Zu shook his head and nodded again. An old Taoist like Peng Zu had tears streaming down his face. He said to Yan Yan, "Master Yan, how could I not know what you are talking about? Haven't you noticed that along the way, all those years ago?" Are all those brothers and sisters who were fooling around and drinking with you gone? Now in the Wuyi Holy Land, Buddhism is closed, and Shuangren Academy is not paying attention, but I, the Wuyi Taoist sect, have tried our best!"
Yan Yan released his senses and fell silent after a while. It turned out that there were only a few old, weak and young children left in Wuyi Palace, the ancestral home of Taoism.
"These children were brought back by us old bones from the bottom of the mountain. Our manpower is exhausted, and a glass of water can't save the salary! If we don't kill the monsters at the foot of the mountain, where will our human race go!" After saying this, he pinched his fingers and made a secret. He said softly, "Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Yan Yan stood up and saluted, "Grandmaster, please forgive me. I'm rude to you."
Yue Yi stood up and saluted at this time: "Ancestor, I wonder what the current situation is like for the demon clan and the human clan?"
Peng Zu said: "Now due to too many casualties on both sides, a ceasefire has been agreed between the two sides, but how can we trust the words of the demon clan? The agreement is always just a blank piece of paper. Zhongzhou will be cannibalized sooner or later. Unexpectedly, Marshal Yue died generously. The passion of the human race was aroused, but it only saved the North!" After saying that, he looked up to the sky and roared.
After recovering, Peng Zu quickly stood up, took Yue Yi's hand, stuffed a package into Yue Yi's hand and said, "Young Master Yue, you have stayed in Wuyi for too long. The imperial court has long issued a wanted order for you and the other three, and Shuangren Academy is biased towards the imperial court, so I’m afraid Master Yan’s talisman formation won’t be of much use, so you should set off as soon as possible. I hope Young Master Yue will realize the great truth soon and lead our human race to regain its glory!”
The three people stood up immediately and bowed to say goodbye. Watching the three people leave, Peng Zu smiled happily, called a Taoist boy to him and said: "Qingchuan, my mission has been completed. I have lived for thousands of years. I, an old turtle, have lived enough. I want to go Now that you have followed my path, Wuyi Palace will be left to you. Practice well and remember, the Taoist is where the Tao is, but only by walking unruly can you be free in the world! Remember, remember!" After saying that, he went to purify himself first, and then After burning incense to Sanqing, he finally bowed to the ancestor of Sanqing, then used the technique of Xiaoyaoyou and walked away.
It is said that the figure of Peng Zu later appeared on Ryukyu Island in the East China Sea. He had boundless Taoism. He could attract divine thunder with one hand of talismans and kill evil monsters with two Taoist swords. The monsters on Ryukyu Island that were killed retreated one after another, and the eastern gate of Zhongzhou and Yingzhou was recovered - Ryukyu Island. Of course, this is all a story for later.
Just when the three of them left Wuyi Palace and walked out of the mountain-protecting formation, Yan Yan and Huang Li frowned and glanced at each other. Huang Li smiled slightly and said, "Smelly Old Jiu, don't argue with me this time. Xiaoyue still needs to be taught by you, I have already taught you this little skill, I will stay here, you take Xiaoyue away, hurry up!"
Seeing this, Yan Yan pulled Yue Yi over, his hands flew, and the runes were formed instantly. Then a gust of wind slowly blew the two of them up. Yue Yi gritted his teeth and quickly saluted Huang Li. Huang Li waved his hand and carried it after seeing this. Now, if Yue Yi could see it, he would have discovered that Huang Li was already in tears, the wind was rustling and the water was cold, and the warrior was gone and never came back... The wind blew faster and faster, and the two of them flew faster and faster. In an instant, It has disappeared.
Just as Huang Li was wiping his tears, three men in black appeared around him, one was a swordsman, one was a spear master, and the other was a swordsman.
The swordsman looked to the sky. Just as he was about to take off into the air, Huang Li flashed in front of the person. Suddenly, a huge fist went straight to the swordsman's chest. The swordsman ducked down and barely managed to avoid it. Huang Li said: "You want to chase? You look down on me!" After that, the four of them fought together. Although Huang Li was able to fight back and forth with his pair of iron fists and extremely ghostly movement skills at the beginning, and even had a slight upper hand, but Suddenly, the three of them adjusted their positions in an instant. They were the three talents of heaven, earth, and man. The three of them were attacking and defending each other. Their footwork transitions all contained the principles of heaven and earth. Huang Li was unable to crack it for a while, but he suddenly changed his position between offense and defense. With the sound of swords, fists and feet, Huang Li and the three of them fought for a long time and finally separated, but Huang Li was already covered in blood and his body was full of blood holes.
The swordsman said in a deep voice: "Huang Li, I didn't expect that you are called a strongman, but you are an agility attacker. Your movement speed is so good, why don't you escape?"
Huang Li said: "People like you won't understand what a man does and what he doesn't do!"
After saying that, he roared, broke through the shackles of his body, absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and then rushed straight towards the three people in black. Huang Li's speed was several times faster than his peak, and there was only an afterimage left in the sky and earth. After a few breaths, the three men in black fell to the ground and expired, their eyes full of disbelief. Huang Li glanced at the corpses of the three people, roared a roar that resounded throughout the world, and then stood upright between heaven and earth. Although he could not fall down for a long time, he was also lifeless.
