The mountains in Xishan stretch endlessly, and there is only one place that is regarded as a holy mountain, which is Shenglongtai.
Shenglongtai is the highest peak of the Shenglong Mountains and the highest peak of the Western Mountains. It towers above the clouds and mist, facing the first ray of light in the world and listening to the last wind of the night. Unfortunately, this place has already been destroyed. It is a forbidden area, so although the scenery is beautiful, few people come there.
A climbing stone step leads to the clouds and mist.
In the clouds and mist, Lin Xiu and Lin Luo silently walked up the stone steps.
Their robes had been soaked by the water vapor in the clouds, and they looked a little embarrassed when they stuck to their bodies. However, the two of them had an extremely tacit understanding and did not use any means. They just climbed the stone steps expressionlessly.
It wasn't until they stepped out of the clouds that the expressions on their faces changed.
There is a long section of stone steps above the clouds and mist, but unlike in the fog, when the sunlight falls on the surface of the stone steps, the stone steps carved out of the mountain seem to come alive, with a rich blue light surging all the time. .
Lin Luo looked down at his feet. The blue light reflected his pupils strangely, and sighed: "Every time I walk here, I feel like it is alive."
Lin Xiu, who was walking in front of him, did not respond to his emotion. After the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain, Lin Xiu faced the bright sun in the sky in the distance, held his sword in the wind, and after a moment of silence he said: "For a Is it worth wasting the opportunity to go to Hidden Peak for such a small thing?"
Lin Luo pursed his lips and smiled, walked to the other side of the peak, and looked into the depths of the clouds and mist with the sun behind him.
On this side of Shenglongtai, there are hundreds of peaks quietly hidden in the clouds and mist.
The height of these peaks is not as high as Shenglongtai, but if compared with their respective characteristics, no matter how majestic or beautiful they are, it is difficult to find anything more stunning than them in the entire Western Mountain Territory.
Lin Luo still remembered the feeling when he saw Yin Feng for the first time.
That was the absurdity that came after the shock.
There seems to be a god-like existence, using heaven and earth as its dojo, and specially moved the most distinctive peaks in Xishan here.
And the indescribably rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here vaguely proves this point. This is a great formation of heaven and earth.
Lin Luo collected his thoughts and said slowly: "It's naturally not a trivial matter for us to meet our ancestors."
Lin Xiu frowned and looked at Lin Luo.
He didn't like Lin Luo. To be more precise, he didn't like Lin Luo who was planning something.
Lin Xiu walked to Lin Luo, his eyes wandered in the clouds and mist for a while, and stopped on a majestic mountain peak, and said: "I plan to come here only when I break through."
Lin Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "It turns out that there are times when eldest brother is not confident?"
Lin Xiu looked at him indifferently and said: "I will never ask my ancestors for help, but there are several seniors in Hidden Peak who are sword cultivators. It is also an extremely valuable experience to resist the sword intent emitted by them when they sit and forget. .”
"It's true that I forgot about your cultivation method, brother." Lin Luo apologized and said: "We are the core disciples, but we only have three opportunities to enter the Hidden Peak in a year. This rule..."
Lin Xiu asked: "Why didn't you say anything?"
Lin Luo smiled bitterly, looked at the hidden peak in the clouds, and said, "These old people set these rules. It's good that they can let us enjoy it together."
In the Lin family, if you want to enter Hidden Peak and practice year-round, the minimum requirement is to transform into a mortal.
The more spiritual energy there is, where one can comprehend the way of heaven, the more they will be assigned to the same house according to each other's strength.
Before the two people left the Shenglong Platform, they looked in a certain direction at the same time.
In the mid-air in that direction, the sunlight seems to have met countless mirrors, and the distorted light is intertwined. At this time, it just feels like the sky is like a fluttering gauze that is far away and sometimes near, but if the clouds and mist rise with the wind, it will A more specific outline appears, which is a vortex composed of light.
That is the real forbidden land of the Lin family. Only the head of the Lin family is qualified to open the vortex and lead people into the space inside the vortex.
The two of them looked at each other, remembering the secrets that their ancestors casually mentioned a long time ago, their eyes were deep and their expressions gradually calmed down.
Going up and going down the mountain are different.
After walking into the clouds and mist, the two people's robes fluttered slightly, and when the water vapor on their bodies evaporated, they were flying through the clouds and mist like birds.
During this process, several extremely powerful gazes swept across them, and they all quietly took it back after feeling the aura of the jade plaque in their arms that was exuding green light.
The two quickly stopped in front of a majestic mountain peak and fell to the ground honestly.
They solemnly took out the jade tokens in their arms. After stimulating their true energy, the clouds and mist in front of the mountain surged, revealing a path at the foot of the mountain.
The two of them walked along the trail, passing by tall trees and white mountain mist, but not a single sound could be heard.
The wind seemed to be completely cut off here, and the trees and mountain fog seemed to have been fabricated out of thin air, causing the two people deep inside to hallucinate from time to time, unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion in the silence.
Fortunately, this silent fear did not last long, and the two soon saw the wooden house at the end of the trail.
The wooden house is an ordinary mountain wooden house, surrounded by simple wooden fences. The wood is not treated, and the mottled bark is not beautiful when connected together, but it has a vague sense of immortality that is consistent with the mountains and forests.
With a creak, the window of the wooden house opened a crack.
Lin Xiu and the two had already reached the fence. After hearing the movement, they quickly lowered their heads and knelt down, looked at the ground and said, "Lin Xiu pays homage to the ancestor."
A wisp of wind flew out of the wooden fence, and the two people's robes danced in the wind. Lin Luo said in a deep voice: "Ancestor, the young lady has confirmed her return."
A clear voice slowly sounded, "What do you want to do?"
Lin Luo didn't dare to delay and quickly told his plan.
…
"Mu Qing? An outsider doesn't have the ability to stir up trouble in the Lin family."
The window was mostly open, revealing the side face of a middle-aged man with a moist complexion and only one white hair among the black hair. For some reason, the white hair was not covered by the black hair, making it look extremely eye-catching.
This person is one of the three supreme elders of the Lin family, Lin Mingda.
Lin Luo tried ten times harder than persuading Lin Xiu to explain Mu Qing's influence on Liu Weirui. At the end of his words, he paused and said as if to sum up: "If the eldest brother wants to be the head of the family, this person must be excepted." No."
Lin Mingda sat in front of the window, looked at the wood grain on the table in front of him, and said, "Who is going?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Luo's eyes, and he said: "Chief Xiao Gaofeng has the strength to become a mortal in the early stage, but he has not truly broken through to the peak of mortal transformation due to his early illness. This person is the most suitable. I came here today because I want to Ask the ancestor for a chance to transform into a mortal..."
Lin Mingda didn't look out the window until now and said: "If the opportunity to transform into a mortal is given by others, how is it different from a waste? If this person puts his hope in this way, his character will be riddled with holes and cannot be used for much purpose. It is not right and wise. man of."
Lin Luo was a little embarrassed and explained: "This person was born as a wild killer, and he also practiced swordsmanship. Although he is a little short-sighted, he is the best murder sword to use. Even if the incident happens, he will abandon it."
Lin Xiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Lin Luo, with a flash of sharpness in his eyes.
At the beginning, he had questioned that this could not be hidden from Lin Langtian. Lin Luo's answer was very perfunctory, but it turned out that he had already made such a plan in his heart.
Then did he have a more long-term plan and include him in the calculation?
A wisp of wind swirled around the two of them, seeming to read their minds at that moment.
When Lin Xiu came to his senses, Lin Mingda had already appeared in front of the two of them.
"Ancestor."
The two shouted more and more respectfully.
"Get up." Lin Mingda put his hands behind his back and looked at the mountain forest not far away. The white fog in the mountain forest had dispersed at some point. He didn't know how far he could see at this glance.
"Lin Xiu, your talent is good, but if you are the head of a family, you are far behind."
Lin Xiu stood behind Lin Mingda and said with a calm expression: "There is a big difference between me and the head of the family."
Lin Mingda smiled and shook his head, turned around, glanced at Lin Luo, and said: "You two brothers are the best young people in my lineage. When you first planned the plot, did you think about how many people you would kill in the future?" ?”
Lin Luo lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Lin Xiu said honestly: "I didn't think so much. As long as I have the sword in my hand, I should be the one to kill others."
Lin Mingda smiled, with a hint of regret, "It would be great if you two brothers were alone, then Lin Langtian would willingly let you be the next head of the family."
Lin Xiu glanced at Lin Luo and said, "Ancestor, have you agreed to Lin Luo's plan?"
Lin Mingda didn't answer, and she didn't see how he acted. A leaf shrouded in white mist fell in front of Lin Luo, "Use the detention method in the Emperor's Sutra."
Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Lin Luo.
His expression was controlled extremely well, but his mood was turned upside down.
Lin Luo is already practicing the Emperor Sutra!
From the beginning of their practice, the Lin family members have practiced the method of exhaling and taking in the Qi in the "Qingdi Sutra".
And Lin Xiu also knew that there was an Emperor's Sutra above the "Qingdi Sutra", which was a supreme and magical method of immortality that only family heads and supreme elders could practice.
Lin Luo seemed to have lost his former intelligence when he was around Lin Mingda. He only knew how to act as he was told. The changes in the seal in his hand had already gathered a mysterious aura in front of him.
Lin Xiu watched helplessly as Lin Luo held the leaf containing the chance of transformation into his sleeve, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.
Lin Luo was his biological brother, but he had always kept the matter of practice a secret from him. In addition to being angry and wary, Lin Xiu was also slightly afraid.
An idea that he had never had before arose in his mind - maybe the ancestor always favored Lin Luo more?
"You have a body of innate wood origin, so you should be more suitable for practicing the Emperor's Sutra, but you have already embarked on the path of swordsmanship, and practicing the Emperor's Sutra will not be beneficial to your practice."
Hearing Lin Mingda's gentle explanation, Lin Xiu quickly gathered his thoughts, lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to think too much.
Lin Mingda shook his head slightly and said: "There is only one position as the head of the family, but there are more than one avenue to immortality. If the position of the head of the family hinders your sword heart, then it is better to find someone else from now on."
Lin Xiu's face was stiff, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lin Mingda sighed softly, looked at the mountain forest, but didn't know where his eyes fell, and said: "Hidden Peak is part of the Lin family's forbidden area. The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth is as abundant as water. It is normal for you young people to regard it as an excellent place for cultivation. But do you know that this is the grave for those old guys?"
"The fact that I want you to fight for the position of the head of the family does not mean that the position of the head of the family is the end."
Lin Luo asked: "Then what is the end point?"
Lin Mingda smiled calmly: "For practitioners, the end of the road should be the end. Unfortunately, death has become the end for many people."
"If you die because of the position of a family head, I will only call you stupid and won't help you."
