There are two important places in the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain. One is the most important holy place of Qingyun Sect, "Huan Yue Cave". Thousands of years ago, the astonishing and brilliant Qingye Patriarch retreated here to achieve enlightenment. From then on, the Qingyun Sect became the top Unrivaled in the world, leader of all heroes.
After Patriarch Qingye, Huanyue Cave became the most sacred place of Qingyun Sect. For thousands of years, only the master could enter this place.
The other place is the Ancestral Hall. As the name suggests, it is naturally the place where the ancestors of Qingyun Sect are worshipped. From Qingyunzi who founded the Qingyun Sect to the Qingye Patriarch and the ancestors of all generations, they all have their spiritual tablets in this ancestral hall, and there is endless incense every day.
On every important day, the Qingyun Sect, under the leadership of its leader, would come here to solemnly worship their ancestors, which was considered an important place in the Qingyun Sect.
However, except for the days of ancestor worship, the place is extremely deserted.
In a huge open space, stands a majestic palace, with four-cornered eaves, glazed tile roof, and antique house number and red pillars, all seeming to tell the history of the past in this tranquility.
Bursts of light smoke drifted out from the deep and somewhat gloomy hall. Looking from the outside, I could see candles dotted inside, and even the evergreen lamps were slightly swaying and hanging in the air.
In a side room of the palace, between the antique tables and chairs, a plainly dressed old man was making tea. The old man's movements are slow and elegant, complementing the quaint surroundings.
His eyes were calm and profound, as if he could see through all the chaos and understand the vicissitudes of the world.
Daoxuan was sitting aside. His gorgeous and complicated clothes were in sharp contrast to the old man's simple attire.
The headmaster looked a little uneasy, his eyes wandering back and forth between the old man's face and the tea cup in his hand, as if he was waiting or expecting some important news.
The old man pouring the tea seemed to turn a blind eye to all this, and his movements always remained elegant and calm.
The slowly poured tea rippled in the cup, exuding a faint aroma. This fragrance is elegant and long-lasting, as if it carries ancient and profound historical memories.
The surrounding atmosphere was quiet and solemn, with only the sound of the old man pouring tea and the slight sound of the master drinking tea. At this moment, it seemed that time had stopped, leaving only the silhouettes of the two of them and the cup of elegant tea.
The old man looked at Daoxuan, smiled and said: "Life is like tea, you need to taste it slowly. Only by understanding the bitterness can you truly experience the sweetness."
Daoxuan remained silent after hearing this. He just gently picked up the tea cup and savored the cup of tea.
After a long time, his mood gradually calmed down.
"Master, what happened?" the old man asked calmly.
Dao Xuan took a deep look at the old man in front of him and said solemnly: "The ancient sword of Zhu Xian is gone!"
"Pa~" The tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Old man:???
After a moment of silence, the old man frowned and said in confusion.
"How is it possible? According to the records in the sect's classics and the master's own test of the method. The Zhuxian ancient sword carries the evil energy of my Qingyun Seven Veins for millions of years. Now it has been integrated with the Zhuxian formation. It is indestructible and no one can move it.
Including everyone, including me, let alone taking it away, just touching it will cause evil spirits to attack the body, and inner demons will arise. Could it be that something went wrong with the Zhuxian Formation, causing the array carrier to be automatically moved to another place? "
Daoxuan shook his head: "No, someone who is proficient in formations must have taken away the ancient sword.
Because I discovered that except for the fact that there is no Zhuxian Sword in the current Zhuxian Sword Formation, the internal formation flow is perfect. Compared with before, apart from the uncontrollable formation, there is almost no threat of evil energy leaking out and the sky collapsing.
In other words, a powerful person came over, took away the ancient sword, and then transformed the formation for our Qingyun Sect. The point is, during this process, we know nothing.
Moreover, there was a special line of words left on the stone platform: Kou Miao Kou Mi is here for a visit! Is there anyone with this surname in this world? Is it a powerful alien? "
The old man was dumbfounded.
No one knew that he was the most outstanding disciple of Qingyun Sect at that time: Wan Jianyi.
Three hundred years ago, after the black-hearted old man led the elites of the four sects of the Demon Sect to attack the Qingyun Sect, the previous generation of Qingyun leader Tian Chengzi used the Immortal Killing Sword Formation, and with one sword, all the heroes were restrained.
The essence of the Immortal Killing Sword Formation is actually to gather the endless evil energy of the Qingyun Mountains and use the power of heaven and earth to turn it into a sword edge that no one can stop. But everything must have a price, and the minds of those who use the great formation will be impacted by evil spirits.
The evil energy that has accumulated in the Qingyun Mountains for tens of millions of years is so astonishing. Even though every leader in the Qingyun Mountains has been an outstanding figure in the past generations, many of them still fell into the devil's path with their mortal bodies against so much evil energy.
Finally, firstly, in order to prevent outsiders from knowing the shortcomings of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and secondly, because of his reputation as the leader of the most righteous sect in the world, most of the possessed masters will voluntarily abandon their cultivation and live in seclusion, or lead to being slaughtered. The next generation leader kills.
Naturally, only the head of the family knows these things.
People, and people who have power and strength, no matter how virtuous and respected they were, may be afraid of death in the end.
That day, Chengzi was attacked by evil spirits after a battle. When he was possessed, no matter how his two direct disciples, Wan Jianyi and Daoxuan, knelt down, cried, and persuaded, they remained unmoved and unwilling to abandon their cultivation.
At the critical moment, the filial and benevolent Daoxuan hugged Tian Chengzi and shouted to Wan Jianyi: "Brother, don't do it yet!"
Wan Jianyi hesitated for a moment and saw that the eyes of the master he had respected and loved since he was a child were red and his whole body was filled with black energy. He gritted his teeth and pierced the master's heart with the sword of justice, the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
Originally, this matter might have ended like this, but at the critical moment Tian Buyi and others happened to come over and saw this scene with their own eyes.
Things are accomplished with secrets, words are used to reveal failures; those who achieve great things, keep their mouth shut!
In order for the Qingyun Sect to survive forever, the weakness of the Immortal Killing Sword must not be revealed. Otherwise, in the future, if those demonic giants come over to test him again and again, and keep making the Zhuxian Sword Formation appear, then the leader's lineage will definitely become possessed by demons.
The leader who can master the Immortal Killing Sword Formation must be a peerless expert in the Taiqing Realm. If such a strong person is possessed by a demon, and there are foreign enemies to attack, how can the Qingyun Sect still be there?
As a last resort, for the sake of his sect and his master's reputation, Wan Jianyi admitted that he was possessed by the devil and voluntarily died.
Right here in the Patriarch Hall, in front of the Patriarchs of all generations, and witnessed by all the leaders, the most outstanding disciple of the Qingyun Sect was killed by his junior brother with a palm strike.
Since then, the atmosphere in the Qingyun Sect's Seven Meridians has gradually begun to feel strange.
But it’s not a big problem!
No one knew that Daoxuan spared no effort at the critical moment and saved senior brother Wan Jianyi's life. Maybe it's because he wants his senior brother to see how suitable he is to be the leader, maybe it's because of the deep love between his senior brothers, or maybe it's because of guilt.
After so many years, with Wan Jianyi's wisdom, he gradually figured out the truth of what happened back then: he was plotted against.
After carefully thinking about the consequences of telling the truth, Wan Jianyi gave up. The price was too high. And it was obvious that Daoxuan seemed to be far more suitable than him to be the leader.
He even enjoyed being accompanied by Patriarch Qingdeng all these years. It's a pity that the junior brothers and sisters are worried.
However, now the ancient sword of Zhu Xian is gone and has been stolen. Then all his sacrifices, more than a hundred years of abstinence, eating and drinking, and letting down Junior Sister Shuiyue, weren't they all in vain?
How about playing with him?
"Daoxuan, are you sure you are not joking with me?" The old man raised his head, his cloudy eyes gradually clearing up and becoming unstoppable.
The ancient swords of the Zhen Sect have been lost, so what's the use of having this leader?
Daoxuan's heart trembled, and he suddenly thought of his senior brother who could come and go freely in the Demon Sect Temple. Then he remembered that his senior brother's cultivation level was one level worse than his own, and he immediately felt relieved.
The difference between the realms of Shangqing and Taiqing is as different as heaven and earth. Now his strength far exceeds that of his senior brother.
No big deal!
"Do I need to joke with you about this kind of thing?" Daoxuan said calmly.
Without that sword, he can still annihilate the enemy!
Wan Jianyi frowned.
It is true that the junior brother is now an expert in the Taiqing realm. Under normal circumstances, no one can be his enemy. But what about the next generation? Can they break through to the mysterious Taiqing realm on their own?
You know, he can be regarded as a genius, but without the help of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, he is still only at the peak of the Shangqing realm. Then what will the future juniors think when Daoxuan dies?
The Qingyun Sect will be destroyed by his generation!
"Junior brother, according to the records in the classics, the most important thing that the ancient sword of killing immortals is so powerful is that it carries the endless evil energy accumulated by Qingyun's seven veins over the years.
The top priority we should do is two things: first: find a magic weapon with material properties comparable to the Zhuxian Ancient Sword to replace the Zhuxian Sword to activate the Zhuxian Sword Formation; second: find the whereabouts of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword. "
Both of them knew that the most important thing was the first item.
To be honest, since that person can take away the Immortal Killing Sword without anyone noticing, it is difficult for ordinary people to guess whether it is his cultivation strength or formation strength. It is almost impossible to find the ancient sword again.
Daoxuan suddenly fell into deep thought.
…
"Tian Shouzuo! Okay!"
"Uncle Tian!"
"Hahaha, okay, hello to you all!"
Tian Buyi, who was short and fat, could not close his mouth with a smile on his face as he was greeted by his disciples.
In recent days, Suru often joked that he might as well go to Baiyun Temple at the foot of the mountain to sit there. It is said that there is a Maitreya Buddha missing there.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Dazhu Peak had been suppressed for six generations and a thousand years, and now it was finally flourishing under his leadership.
I can't help but laugh!
At first, he just thought that Xiaofan was lucky and had unparalleled skills, but when he actually taught him swordsmanship and techniques, Tian Buyi was greatly surprised.
This kid is not bad at all in his understanding, he is diligent, not lazy, and he is obedient. He would do whatever he was asked to do without any compromise.
If this progress continues, won't Dazhufeng teach his first chief disciple two years later? Is it even possible to become the leader one day in the future?
Phew!
Standing in front of the Yuqing Palace, Tian Buyi's lips were so raised that he could hang a lantern, and then he happily opened the door.
"What do you want from me, senior brother? I'm busy right now.
Hey, you don’t know, my Xiaofan learns things really fast. Isn’t it going to be a big competition soon? I need to spend more time teaching him.
Otherwise, what if you can't hold back your strength and break the other little guys? Even if it is not damaged, it is not good to injure the flowers and plants. "
Daoxuan:.
Teaching disciples? These days, I don’t know who is wandering around in front of the leader of the Seven Meridians when he has nothing to do. He shows off his surprises before they even say anything.
"Hey, you also know that my Xiaofan learns things quickly?"
"Hey, I can't help it. Famous teachers make great disciples, right? There should be no suspense in this Qingyun Competition."
"Junior Sister Shuiyue, I heard that your disciple Lu Xueqi's stunning appearance just happened to have a good exchange with my apprentice. When the time comes, I will ask him to be merciful."
"Haha, Cangsong, what, are you scared? It's okay, I will ask Xiaofan to give Qi Hao three hundred moves when the time comes!"
…
This human heart is really complicated.
Junior Brother Tian Buyi, who was once honest and kind-hearted, has now become like this. What's so great about a mere apprentice with a peak cultivation level?
"Master? If nothing happens, I will go have tea with Senior Brother Cangsong?" Tian Buyi said with a smile.
Daoxuan's face was serious and he said in a deep voice: "I want to talk to you about something next. I hope you can stay calm. Absolutely, absolutely don't be afraid, and don't tell anyone about it."
Tian Buyi was startled and clasped his fists: "Don't worry, Master, Buyi has experienced life and death. He has received the most professional training, so he will never be afraid."
Daoxuan nodded.
"Brother, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white hair and beard came out from the back of the palace. He was stooped and walked with a stoop.
"Junior Brother Tian, long time no see."
Tian Buyi was startled at first, then in a daze, and finally with tears in his eyes, he burst into tears and rushed forward to hug the old man.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Senior Brother Wan, you are not dead. Why are you like this?"
At this moment, the dignified and upright leader, one of the Seven Meridians of Qingyun, was crying with tears and snot flowing from his nose. He spent many nights regretting whether the decision he made back then was the right one.
Although it was his senior brother's decision to voluntarily lead himself to death, his senior brother was very kind to me. If it weren't for his care, guidance, and favor, how could he, the most ordinary disciple of Dazhu Peak, have achieved what he has now?
So, how could I just watch him die.
After a long time, seeing that the old man seemed to have difficulty breathing, Tian Buyi seemed to feel something. He loosened his arms and looked up and down, his eyes full of disbelief.
He studied under the Qingyun Sect, one of the three major sects of the Righteous Way and the current leader of the Righteous Way.
He is the first among the eighteen generations of disciples of the Qingyun Sect.
He was dressed in white, unparalleled in his handsomeness, and extremely heroic.
He is a genius with amazing talents and extremely high moral conduct.
He is a legendary figure of the Qingyun Sect, and together with the leader Daoxuan, they were both known as the "Two Prides of Qingyun" when they were young.
A hundred years ago, when he was walking in the wild and full of high spirits, his left arm was cut off by Suzaku, one of the four holy envoys of the Demon Cult, during a melee. Blood surged like crazy, but his expression remained unchanged. He reached out and took off Suzaku's veil and praised her: Stunning beauty.
How did senior brother live these years and how did he become like this?
As if thinking of something, Tian Buyi raised his head and glared at Daoxuan.
"Is it you? Daoxuan, are you the one who abused my senior brother Wan like this?"
Daoxuan:? ? ?
People are sitting at home, and pots come from heaven.
