At the foot of the mountain, Old Man Zhang found a stone slab and sat on it, took out a pot of wine and took a sip.
Ask the skeleton on the stone steps: "Where is it up there? Do you want a drink?"
"Have a drink!"
The skeleton hooked his fingers, and then replied: "It leads to three different places, and I haven't tried them. Do you want to come with him?"
Old Man Zhang poured a bowl of wine, stood up and walked forward, handing it to the skeleton sitting on the stone steps.
Watching this guy holding the bowl and drinking it one mouthful at a time, he didn't know where the wine went.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "No, I'll just wait for the little guy here."
The skeleton looked at him and smiled: "Old man, you have lived your whole life in vain, you are not even as good as a child!"
Old Man Zhang sighed and said with a wry smile: "You are a monster who has lived for a thousand years. When have you ever seen a young man who cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism? Are you not even afraid of you?"
The skeleton was stunned, looking at the empty wine bowl in his hand, and became stunned.
After a long while, he chuckled and said, "That's true...Old man, let's have another bowl of wine."
Old Man Zhang shook his head, poured him another bowl of wine, pointed to the cliff and said, "I don't expect to leave here. If he destroys this place, I will feel at ease."
"Oh...it seems you really want to destroy this passage?"
The skeleton picked up the wine and drank it one mouthful at a time, making a comfortable sound.
After a while, he turned to look at Li Xiuyuan, who was gradually disappearing on the stone steps, and sighed quietly.
Said: "I can't even remember how long it has been since I last basked in the sun. If this kid keeps his promise, I will leave here with you."
Old man Zhang trembled when he heard this and couldn't help but ask
Said: "Can you still leave this place?"
The skeleton nodded and said softly: "As long as this guy helps me replenish my life, I can leave here."
Old man Zhang looked at the stone steps in the black mist and couldn't help but ask: "Tell me, is there any evil spirit up there?"
"Try it..."
The skeleton burped and chuckled: "There are nine hundred stone steps up here. The evil energy on each step is different. Even I am not willing to try..."
…
Li Xiuyuan on the stone steps was currently fighting against the evil energy pouring out from under his feet.
At first, he was even shocked, thinking that when he accompanied Sanzang to obtain scriptures, the three thousand stone steps he encountered did not have evil spirits.
Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous place is actually filled with a strong evil spirit.
At the beginning, he had to rely on the talisman paper in his hand to turn into a sword to cut off the evil spirit on the stone steps.
Later, gradually, he concentrated the power of Buddhist nirvana on his feet. Suddenly, the evil spirit on the stone steps dispersed in all directions like ice and snow about to melt in spring.
Seeing this, he was not hesitant at the moment and sped up to go up.
I didn’t know how long I had climbed the 900 stone steps. When I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, I felt out of breath and had to take out a wine bottle and take a few sips.
At a glance, it was dark and foggy ahead, making it impossible to see the road under my feet.
After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, he murmured to himself: "Since I'm here, how can I sit here and do nothing? No matter what, I have to go in and take a look."
The talisman in his hand turned into a sword, and he slashed forward with a flame, instantly lighting up the road three feet in front of him.
I saw a stone tablet standing not far ahead, with a message: "Life and death are determined."
No, stop here! "
Looking at the black stone tablet in front of me, the writing on the side also has a strange color.
At that moment, I couldn't help but send a message to the skeleton at the bottom of the mountain: "I said, what is going on here? There is a stone monument, is it not letting me pass?"
The skeleton at the foot of the mountain replied coldly: "I don't know. I haven't been to the place you went to... If you are afraid, just come back. You don't want to leave here anyway..."
Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and replied: "That won't work. I have to go over and have a look. I want to see three different worlds."
The skeleton chuckled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Just walk over?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't ask what the reason was and didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
He immediately took out an iron sword, held the luminous pearl in one hand, raised his feet, and instantly stepped over the stone monument in front of him.
There was a soft sound of "Buzz...", as if it broke through a boundary wall in an instant, or passed through a heavy mist, Li Xiuyuan felt his eyes light up.
What you see is beautiful mountains and clear waters, peach blossoms are blooming everywhere, and the chirping of birds comes from time to time in the wind.
But there was a bottomless river in front of him, just like the river he had seen in the Demon Realm before, where even feathers could not float.
There was originally a wooden bridge that was cut off from the river. I don't know if it was destroyed when Dongfang Ruyu came over, or if it was a sudden fire.
This wooden bridge, which was dozens of feet long, turned into ruins.
Looking at the white clouds floating leisurely in the sky, I couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Although he clearly saw the Taoyuan of Shura Heaven, he could not and could not leave from here.
Not to mention that there is an old Taoist priest Zhang Laotou behind him, but there is something going on in the Taoist temple.
The east of Nirvana is like jade, and he cannot abandon it.
Looking at the white clouds floating leisurely in the sky, I couldn't help but murmured: "Master, where is my Samsara Sword?"
The face of the old Taoist priest was revealed in the faint river, with a frowning face that was too painful to speak.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, then rushed forward and stood by the river, reaching forward: "Master, what's wrong with you? How come you are trapped in this deep river?"
Just when he was about to jump into the river to save the old Taoist priest...
"Buzz!" There was a sound, but it was the Samsara Sword that had been imprisoned in the jade dish by the old Taoist priest. At that moment, it made a clear sound!
From his divine sea, it turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed out, floating quietly in front of his eyes.
It was this bolt of lightning that stopped Li Xiuyuan and brought him back to his senses instantly.
Taking a deep breath, he stretched out his hand to hold the Samsara Sword, and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard...
Purple lightning was seen entangled, and the Samsara Sword, which had been silent for a thousand years, let out a cheer. The shining purple lightning instantly illuminated Youhe, and the old Taoist priest disappeared before his eyes.
"Zai!" The sword slashed out, and the sword passed through the broken stream, even the Youhe River in front of him was no exception.
The River of Death was instantly cut off by a sharp sword energy, and the faint river water parted to both sides, revealing the mud at the bottom of the river and countless bones.
"The demons and demons also want to mess with my mind!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at Youhe in front of him and said quietly, then turned around instantly and stabbed forward with his sword.
The Samsara Sword carried purple lightning and instantly pierced the water-like boundary wall in front of him. Li Xiuyuan stepped out and walked behind him.
Just in the blink of an eye, he had the feeling of breaking through the barrier again
Sleep.
As soon as I raised my head, the scenery in front of me changed again.
From the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, a cliff appeared in front of him. There was a mountain vine hanging on the cliff, which must have been used as a ladder to support the way down.
I can't go up, you still want to come down?
Li Xiuyuan was so angry that he folded a piece of talisman paper and turned it into a sword. With a "whoosh!", he slashed at the vines on the stone wall.
"Boom!" With a sound, a flame on the cliff dozens of feet in length suddenly burst into flames. A frightened eagle flew past and flapped its wings. "Quack!" and flew up the cliff.
Looking at a white cloud floating in the sky, he sighed leisurely and said with a wry smile: "I will go find you."
After saying that, he turned around and stabbed again, then stepped forward.
The sword passed silently, but Li Xiuyuan came to an abyss where the sun could not be seen. The sky was blood red, and the soil under his feet was also blood red.
He looked forward blankly and murmured to himself: "Is this the world of the Demon Realm?"
Whether it was Jun Wuyou or Jun Buyu, he had dealt with each other before, and even fought with the elders of the Demon Realm, but there had never been a scene that shocked him so much!
A blood-red moon hung in the sky.
Li Xiuyuan said in a daze: "Why does the blood moon, which has never been seen in thousands of years, appear here? Do you want to seduce me?"
He couldn't tell whether it was the real moon or an illusion in the sky. There was deathly silence all around here, not a single person could be seen, and half of the blood-red waning moon hung above the abyss.
It looks extremely scary.
There is only the most mysterious demon realm in Shura Heaven. He had never been there back then. He just went to two different places. One must be Taoyuan and the other
It's the demon realm.
So the place in front of us, which is full of terror, is naturally the demonic domain controlled by the Jun family.
He didn't even look for a way leading to the abyss, but stared blankly at the waning moon hanging in the mountains.
The waning moon is like blood. Could it be that a shocking battle just happened here and the earth under the abyss was stained with blood?
Or is there a shocking battle about to happen here? Could it be that this battle was triggered by his arrival?
Quietly, he transmitted a few words to the skeleton under the stone steps behind him, but there was a boundary wall between them, so the skeleton behind him couldn't hear what Li Xiuyuan was saying at all.
So, he had no choice but to sigh and take a step forward.
What would happen if he wanted to cause a war? He wanted to know, so he took another step forward.
Suddenly, a sad song floated from above the half-waning moon, a sad and mournful sound. It was like a wife missing her husband who had traveled far away, and it was like a mother missing a wanderer far away.
The tune was somewhat like the tunes in the small village at the foot of Luoxia Mountain, and also somewhat like the children's songs Fengyun Cheng himself had hummed when he was a child.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but hum along a few times, and then sighed deeply.
Listening to the vague and uncertain singing like the blood moon, I felt a little lonely, which was diluted a lot by the chilling scene.
Looking at the graceful woman above the moon, her face covered by light sand, singing like a ghost, wearing a red dress.
Li Xiuyuan sighed, and the Samsara Sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if he wanted to slash away.
After a moment of silence, he said in a concentrated voice: "You don't have to waste your efforts.
Yes, I have already encountered this kind of inexplicable mess in Taoyuan. You can't confuse me. "
The beautiful eyes of the woman above the moon are like a lake, trying to swallow the young man under the abyss.
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan said dullly: "Since this is a place of demonic territory, how can you seduce Buddhist disciples?"
As he chanted Buddhist sutras softly while speaking, a faint Buddha's light shone behind him, immediately protecting the area three feet in front of and behind him.
In an instant, the woman under the Buddha's eyes was filled with evil energy, her waving hands were like a demon under the abyss, and her face that confused people's hearts and captivated the country also became terrifying and ferocious.
If he had been replaced by Old Man Zhang from Peach Blossom Spring, he would have fallen into the trap of this witch.
Just like the old Taoist priest in the secluded river of Taoyuan, the woman in the demon realm is just an illusion... The moment Li Xiuyuan's reincarnation sword trembled slightly, he had already seen through the woman's true face.
So he scolded: "Now that you are here, let's take action!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiuyuan took a step back. The woman in the red dress above the moon suddenly gave a soft drink and turned into a blood-red sword in an instant!
Li Xiuyuan flew towards Li Xiuyuan who was under the abyss!
At this time, Li Xiuyuan had the illusion that the woman in front of him was like Jin Wuming in front of Weiyang Palace, striking out with a sword in front of everyone.
The woman's speed was getting faster and faster, her sword aura was about to cut Li Xiuyuan into two pieces, her red dress was like the blood-red waning moon in the sky, and she instantly transformed into a demon in the abyss!
Looking at the motionless Li Xiuyuan, the woman giggled and said, "After waiting for a hundred years, a living person has arrived."
