After that beast-monster catastrophe, from north to south, everything you see is miserable and desolate scenery. Thousands of miles of uninhabited people and hundreds of villages without a sound are all common things.
The north is somewhat better because of the short duration of the poisoning. The further south you go, the more tragic the scene becomes.
Ruined buildings and ruined towns are everywhere.
Even in the open fields beside fields in the wild, bones can be found from time to time, which is even more shocking.
The wind and smoke are desolate, and the scenery is desolate. In this world, people are like ants, and they can't control their own destiny.
Many people who fled to the north began to slowly return home after confirming that the catastrophe had indeed receded.
On the infinitely desolate land, it slowly began to gain popularity.
Countless people who survived were grateful to the gods of Qingyun Mountain for taking action, defeating the beasts and monsters, and restoring peace to China.
That day, during the Qingyun battle, the beast god was defeated by Zhu Xian's ancient sword and died on the spot, in the hands of Song Xing.
Although Song Xing became famous in the first battle, Zhengdao was also seriously injured in the previous battle. In order to prevent the Demon Sect from taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack, each faction stayed at their base camp and slowly recovered their strength.
As for Song Xing, after killing the Beast God, he returned the Immortal Killing Sword to Master Daoxuan and returned to Dazhu Peak for seclusion and has not left since.
Although everyone in the Qingyun Sect was surprised that Song Xing had reached the Taiqing Realm and became the second member of the Qingyun Sect under Daoxuan, they saw him in seclusion and mistakenly thought that he was injured in a battle with the Beast God, so no one bothered him. .
There was silence in Dazhu Peak, but a small quarrel broke out in the sacred Yuqing Hall on Tongtian Peak.
The leaders of the Six Meridians of the Qingyun Sect, except for the Changmen Tongtian Peak, rarely gathered in the Yuqing Hall again after the beast monster catastrophe. But the most important thing is that they came this time and were not summoned by the headmaster Zhenren Daoxuan. Instead, everyone came on their own.
Above the main hall, the first person to entertain everyone was not Master Daoxuan, but Chang Jian, a disciple of the Tongtian Peak lineage.
Speaking of which, the disciples of Qingyun Sect's Seven Meridians all suffered heavy casualties in this battle, but Tongtian Peak suffered particularly heavy casualties.
It is only because Xiao Yicai, the great disciple of Tongtian Peak Daoxuan, was besieged by several powerful monsters in this battle and unfortunately died, so that the one who came to entertain the leader of the Six Meridians now is only a little-known member of Tongtian Peak. Often arrows.
Among the leaders of the Six Meridians, Qi Hao, the leader of Longshou Peak, and Chu Yuhong, the leader of Chaoyang Peak, are both second-generation disciples in terms of seniority. They are the same generation as Chang Jian. Naturally, they are not as direct as the other four master uncles. Both of them were silent for part of the time.
But the words spoken at the top of the other four peaks: Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak, Fenghui Peak, and Luoxia Peak were not so polite.
Tian Buyi, the leader of Dazhu Peak, has the loudest voice among the four leaders. He was seen sitting on the rosewood chair and coldly said to Chang Jian: "Six of us are here today, and there are already two of us here." It's almost time, why hasn't the head brother come out to see us? In his eyes, are we old guys already so unbearable?"
Chang Jian looked extremely embarrassed, with a wry smile all over his face, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Uncle Tian, you have always been highly respected in our Qingyun Sect, and the master has always valued you. This is We all know."
Tian Buyi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, snorted and sneered: "So the head brother values me so much that he doesn't care about leaving me here for two hours?"
Chang Jian choked for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Tian, my disciple has just said that the master did enter the Huanyue Cave for retreat ten days ago and has not come out."
The four elders sitting at the bottom snorted coldly at the same time, obviously not believing what Chang Jian said.
Sitting aside, Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhufeng said coldly: "Senior Nephew Chang, although I have been at Xiaozhufeng in the past ten days, I have heard several times that the master brother is behaving strangely on Tongtian Peak, and even worse. , a few days ago, late at night, there was a rumor that the master brother looked crazy and screamed at the sky from the top of the Yuqing Palace, is this possible?"
Chang Jian immediately shook his head and said: "There is absolutely no such thing, there is no such thing. Master Shuiyue must have heard wrong. Master, he is a master of Taoism, the leader of the righteous Tao in the world, and the spirit of immortality. How could this happen?" Doing such a crazy thing?"
Although Chang Jian denied it, he was not as good as his senior brother Xiao Yicai when it came to the conspiracy. Although he denied it, the change in the expression on his face still made Tian Buyi and others see that something was wrong.
The four chief elders looked at each other, and they all saw that the others were very suspicious of Xiao Yicai's words.
Sitting next to the leader of Fenghui Peak, Taoist Priest Tianri, who succeeded Taoist Tianyun as the leader of Luoxia Peak, looked mediocre and thin, wearing a Taoist robe and frowning.
Tian Buyi snorted angrily and said: "Stop talking nonsense. In the past few days, the news has spread throughout the Qingyun Sect. The dignified leader's behavior is extremely weird. He is sometimes crazy and confused all day long on Tongtian Peak. If the leader is Senior brother, he is in ill health, and we, as junior brothers, must find ways to treat him no matter what, or at least visit him; if he is fine, why would he refuse to come out to see us?"
At this point, he suddenly raised his voice and said angrily: "Tell me the truth, what happened to the head brother?"
Chang Jian trembled, as if he was startled by Tian Buyi's loud voice, but he still had a slight wry smile on his face and remained silent.
Uncle Zeng, the leader of Fenghui Peak who had been sitting next to him without saying much, glanced at Chang Jian, frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Well, we old men also know that you don't dare to disobey the leader's order, we I won’t embarrass you. Now as long as you take us to the place where the head brother is retreating, we can pay our respects to the head brother on our own. What do you think?"
After all, Chang Jian was not Xiao Yicai, and in the end he did not have the courage to fight against the six leaders, so he took Tian Buyi and others to the ancestor's ancestral hall in the back mountain.
According to his words, since the battle at Qingyun Mountain that day, Daoxuan often appeared in this ancestral hall and stayed there for a long time.
The ancestor's ancestral hall in the back hill of Qingyun Mountain is still hidden in the deep woods, with only a little bit of cornice visible between the green leafy treetops. Perhaps it is really the protection of the ancestors of Qingyun Sect. The two thrilling disasters that Qingyun Sect has experienced in the past ten years have not damaged this place.
As in the past, looking from a distance, there are faint incense lights flickering in the dark ancestral hall, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
Tian Buyi came to the door of the ancestral hall, but did not go up the steps. He said loudly at the foot of the stone steps: "Brother Daoxuan, I am Tian Buyi. Others include Shuiyue, Tianri, Zeng Shuchang and the first nephews of the other two lineages. We came to see you together. Are you there?"
His voice was loud and powerful, and it immediately spread in the forest. Looking vaguely, it seemed that in the dark place deep in the ancestral hall, even the little incense suddenly lit up, and then slowly returned to normal.
After a moment, a voice came from the darkness and said coldly: "What's the matter?"
Tian Buyi and the other elders were all shocked. The voice contained a very cold air, and there was also a hint of violence. There was no trace of Daoxuan Zhenren's pure and upright spirit at the time.
But several of them had known Daoxuan for more than hundreds of years. As soon as they heard the voice, they recognized that it was indeed Daoxuan's voice.
