In the Chaoxian Palace, Zhong Liqing waved his hand, and the corpse flute, a palm-sized clock with a green face and fangs, and a small red jade box fell into the hands of Cen Yun, saying: "You won this soul bell and the Jiazi Life-Extension Pill. The reward for the leader of the palace examination."
"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Cen Yun took the small bell and the jade box, looked at them and threw them into the storage bag together with the corpse flute.
Zhong Liqing stood up, walked slowly down the jade steps, came to Cen Yun, put his hand on his shoulder, whether intentionally or unintentionally, squeezed his shoulder, his eyes full of approval, He nodded and said: "Yes, it is true that a hero comes from a young boy. You come with me, Chang Ji, you come with me."
"Yes." Chang Ji responded and followed Zhong Liqing to the back hall.
Cen Yun clearly felt Zhong Liqing's squeeze on his shoulder, as if he had something to say, but what he said could not be said in public, as it would most likely involve the sect's larger secrets.
Thinking of this, Cen Yun glanced at Elder Zhiming and saw that he was calm as usual, but the five people around him, Meng Jiang, Xiang Changqing, Fei Luo, Huangfu Tu, and Shi He, had different expressions, making the atmosphere in the hall become quite strange. .
Cen Yun did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed Zhong Liqing into the back hall. Inside, he saw a stone statue of a phoenix looking up to the sky and singing. There was a hollow in the chest of the stone statue. Zhong Liqing and Chang Ji stood one behind the other. In front of the stone statue, there was nothing around.
Cen Yun came behind Zhong Liqing. Zhong Liqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the stone statue in front of him with complex eyes, and said, "I just had something to say outside that I couldn't say."
Cen Yun bowed and said, "I wonder what the Master Master's instructions are to his disciples?"
"Three hundred years ago, Master Danyan got a kind of elixir for washing tendons and cutting marrow from nowhere, called Yisui Dan. However, this recipe was unable to be used because of the lack of a kind of fairy grass called 'Du Heng'. The refining is because Master Danyan ventured into the Forbidden Valley of Death to seek immortal materials, but accidentally broke the seal and released the ancient ferocious beasts in the valley..."
Zhong Liqing slowly told a story that had been forgotten for many years:
"Although our sect later joined forces with the You clan in the valley to subdue the ferocious beast and temporarily suppress it, Junior Sister Hongling died unexpectedly in the battle. Senior Brother Zhiming went out on business and returned to the sect to learn the news, and immediately went into a rage. Being possessed by the devil not only killed Master Danyan, but also caused the sect to bleed like a river. If Old Witch Zhu hadn’t taken action to wake up the senior brother in time, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
Cen Yun held his breath, the shock in his eyes was indescribable. He had never heard Elder Zhiming mention this kind of thing.
Zhong Liqing said: "The death of Junior Sister Hongling is a knot in Senior Brother Zhiming's heart. Senior Brother has always been resentful that we did not protect Junior Sister Hongling, so he secretly began to refine the elixir recipe left by Master Danyan in order to save him. Recall Junior Sister Hongling who has been dead for many years..."
Cen Yun's face was heavy, and he vaguely felt that Zhong Liqing was making demands on him by telling him this, and said, "I wonder why the master master is telling me this now?"
Zhong Liqing said solemnly: "The cause and effect of life and death in the world is irreversible. This is the way of heaven. It is still a thousand years before the seal of the Forbidden Valley of Death disappears. And if Senior Brother Zhiming wants to do this heaven-defying thing, it may not be as simple as it seems on the surface. "
Cen Yun took a breath of cold air and vaguely guessed something. He swallowed and said, "Could it be that the head master's uncle thought that the so-called elixir for washing the tendons and cutting the marrow and changing one's fate against the will of heaven does not exist. The elixir in the master's hand does not exist." Did someone give it to him intentionally in order to destroy the seal of the Forbidden Valley of Death in advance?"
"You are very smart!" Zhong Liqing smiled happily and nodded, "Yes, Master Danyan refined this elixir in order to live forever, and Brother Zhiming did the same in order to save Junior Sister Hongling. It is really difficult for people not to feel that this Things are strange, so after you enter the land of the ancestors, in addition to finding the complete inheritance, you also need to investigate where the elixir in your senior brother's hand comes from, and find a way to prevent your senior brother from refining this elixir. Otherwise, the sect will be in catastrophe, and the world of immortality will also suffer. catastrophe!"
Of course Cen Yun knew the seriousness of this matter, but with such a big thing on his shoulders, there was nothing he could do except to feel tremendous pressure.
Because Zhong Liqing still doesn't know that Elder Zhiming has already used his blood to replace the fairy materials in the elixir recipe, and the elixir to be refined has been refined countless times.
But he knows very well that there is still a chance now. Even if the chance is slim, he can give it a try. He must give it a try, otherwise he will become the eternal sinner who caused the destruction of Fengqi Mountain and the ruin of hundreds of millions of lives!
Zhong Liqing made a secret with both hands, opened his mouth and spat out a colorful jade bead, exuding dazzling light. As he used the secret, it gradually blended into the hollow in the chest of the phoenix bird stone statue in front of him, and a strong light bloomed from the phoenix bird stone statue. The reflection in his eyes turned into a colorful round mirror.
There are mountains and water in the round mirror, which is quite similar to the Fengqi Mountains and the white cave outside.
Beads of sweat broke out on Zhongli Qing's forehead, he cast a spell to maintain the round mirror, and took out an hourglass from the storage bag and gave it to Cen Yun, saying: "It is the place of the ancestors inside. You only have six hours. After six hours, no matter what, , you have to come out, otherwise you will be swallowed up by the torrent of space!"
Cen Yun took the hourglass, and the sand inside slowly dripped downward. After putting it away, he bowed to Zhong Liqing and entered the round mirror space.
"Chang Ji, protect me!" Zhong Liqing said to Chang Ji behind him.
"yes."
"Well!?"
Before he finished speaking, a bloody hand poked out from his chest, and a living heart as big as a palm was held in his hand connected with blood vessels, creating a strange blood-colored seal.
"You—" Zhong Liqing spat out a mouthful of blood, turned his head to look at Chang Ji with incredible difficulty, his face full of confusion and anger, and said, "Why!?"
A strange red light flashed in Chang Ji's eyes, and he sneered: "Hey, hey, junior brother, you are confused, do you think that letting Junior Brother Huangfu, Junior Brother Shi and Junior Sister Fei Luo look at me can prevent the Divine Bird Jade Soul from being taken away? "
Zhong Liqing's pupils dilated and said: "You are not Chang Ji, you are senior brother Zhi Ming... No, this is obviously Chang Ji's body. When did you take his body and make him your puppet?"
"From the first day you met him." Chang Ji said with a sneer on his face.
Zhong Liqing endured the severe pain and spat out another mouthful of blood, saying: "I can't believe, I can't believe that you have such far-reaching plans. How many disciples are there under your control in the sect?"
"Anyone who has taken the elixir I refined." Chang Ji said, "Junior brother, you were wrong from the beginning. The person who left Dan Yan the Yi Marrow elixir recipe was not someone else, but Ancestor, this place has been the property of the sect from the beginning. You let my disciple enter the place of the ancestor, which saved me a lot of things."
"This... this is impossible. This will cause endless harm. How can it be the sect's property, left by the ancestor!" Zhong Liqing said in unimaginable way.
Chang Ji said: "Junior brother, you should know that we are not the same as the You clan. The Yi Marrow Pill is just an auxiliary medicine. Its function is to make the person who takes it change his body and become closer to the You clan. What Dan Yan, the elder, and even the ancestors really want to refine. It’s the elixir of immortality!”
"Elixir of immortality?" Zhong Liqing's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
"Yes, there are gods above immortals. If we want to live forever, even if we devote all our efforts to become immortals, it is not enough. We can only accomplish this with the help of that 'adult'!"
As he spoke, Chang Ji squeezed his right hand violently, and the heart in his hand instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist, as cold as an evil ghost, and said, "So please forgive me, Junior Brother, and hand over the Divine Bird Jade Soul!"
Zhong Liqing's vision went dark, his body fell limply, and the round mirror in front of the Fengniao stone statue was closed immediately.
Chang Ji walked to the stone statue of Fengniao. Just as he was about to reach out and pick the colorful jade beads in the hollow, a roar suddenly burst out from behind him: "Don't even think about it!"
As the words fell, a purple electric light suddenly rushed out of Zhong Liqing's body that had not yet cooled down, and chopped off Chang Ji's right hand. It turned out to be a small man with a big palm and a very blurred outline of his facial features, with purple electricity wrapped around his body.
Immediately afterwards, five rainbow lights shot into the sky from the front hall, lifting the dome of the main hall, Chaoxian Hall was also torn into pieces, and the entire Fengqi Mountain was shrouded in a blood mist and killing sounds...
At the same time, Cen Yun's eyes suddenly lit up after entering the round mirror, and he appeared on a green hillside.
Cen Yun glanced around. There were mountains in the distance, and a huge peak rising straight into the sky stood in front of him. If it wasn't Fengqi Mountain, then where could it be?
Cen Yun looked back and saw a white cave behind him, which should be the exit. On the left was a cozy and warm secret forest. Strange beasts were passing through it from time to time, including a strange cow with the eyes of a fish, and a monster with the body of a cow and a horse tail. Deer, in short, were all types of spiritual beasts that he had never seen before.
"Please let me go, please let me go!" Suddenly, a strange voice begging for mercy came from the distance.
Cen Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed into the forest and found a big tree to hide behind. However, he soon discovered that his body could penetrate the big tree, and the strange beasts around him did not notice his presence. It seemed that He was just a spirit body and had nothing to do with this world, so he looked towards where the sound came from.
They were six barbarians wearing animal skins, waving animal bone stone tools, chasing a down-and-out man in a blue shirt.
The man in green shirt was extremely thin. He was holding a rag flag in his hand. The words on it were no longer clear. He was rolling and crawling in front of him. He was soon chased into the forest by six barbarians. He was no longer tired. He could not run away and was captured by the barbarians.
The man in green shirt knelt down and begged: "You warriors, I am just a physiognomist. I happened to pass by this mountain and saw the beauty of this mountain and strayed into your realm. I am really offended. Please don't eat me. I am thin-skinned and have little flesh. I haven’t had a full meal in five days, and it’s really not worth your efforts to steam me away. If you let me go, I will definitely erect a monument and a memorial for all the brave men, to express my gratitude for your great kindness!”
"Ababa Baba, huh huh!" The six barbarians looked at the man in blue shirt angrily, said something they couldn't understand, then tied up the man in blue shirt, and ignored him no matter how much he begged for mercy. He lifted it up and walked happily into the forest.
After a while, the barbarian leading the way suddenly had a calm expression on his face. He stopped the five barbarians behind him and looked warily at a strange yellow bird lying on the ground in the forest, which was as big as a calf.
This strange bird looks like a pheasant with bright feathers, but there is a sharp thorn stuck under its wings. The sharp thorn is surrounded by blood, and it looks very weak.
When the barbarian leading the way saw this, his face suddenly became happy. He made some gestures to the barbarian behind him, then stepped forward alone, raised the animal bone in his hand, and smashed it down.
"Be careful!" At this moment, the man in green shirt who was tied up by the five-flowered cowboy shouted worriedly.
The yellow strange bird opened its eyes weakly, and saw that the club-like animal bone was about to fall on its head, and a ray of fire suddenly lit up in its eyes and shone on the leading barbarian.
The barbarian screamed, and instantly turned into a flaming man, baring his teeth and claws, rolling all over the ground. In a moment, the man turned into ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth.
