The far north is covered with ice and snow all year round and is completely deserted. In the extremely cold land in the northernmost part of the vast ice field, a huge mountain range lies across it. Among the mountains is a snow peak ten thousand feet high, and on the top of the peak is a huge rock isolated on the top.

This huge stone has been exposed to wind and frost every day, but it has become as smooth as jade. I don’t know when, but there seems to be a faint halo of multicolored light coming out of the stone.

On this day, thunderclouds rolled over the mountains, and the wind roared, seeming to destroy the sky and the earth.

Rolling thunderclouds cover the sky and the earth, and fierce winds destroy the mountains and rivers.

The deafening thunder frightened the birds and beasts in the mountain to stop coming out of their burrows, and the wild wind blew the pines and cypresses uprooted on the mountain.

Electric snakes writhed in the thunderclouds, gathering thicker and thicker, pressing lower and lower.

Suddenly, an electric light as thick as the mouth of a bowl emerged from the thundercloud and hit the boulder standing on the top of the mountain, making an earth-shattering noise. This loud noise seemed to startle the thunder in the sky. In an instant, all the thunder blasted towards the boulder. The boulder shattered in an instant, and the power of heaven and earth was undoubtedly revealed.

After the boulder was shattered, the thunder in the sky did not stop and still hit the place where the boulder originally stood.

For a time, only rumbles of thunder could be heard within thousands of miles of the snow peak. Looking from a distance, only a white light could be seen on the top of the peak, even lighting up the originally dark sky, making even the night as bright as day.

This power lasted for three days and three nights, and it was unknown how many thunder clouds were struck. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that the thunder clouds gradually dispersed.

Soon, the place returned to its usual scene. The snowfield was still covered in heavy snow, and the biting cold wind was still sweeping across the snowfield. However, the huge boulder on the top of the nameless mountain peak disappeared. A stone platform with a radius of three feet was left where the boulder originally stood. On the stone platform was a long sword that was neither gold nor stone.

An unknown number of years passed like this.

On this day, an old Taoist priest with a celestial spirit walked over the clouds from the distant horizon holding a similarly snow-white whisk.

This Taoist was dressed in a snow-white Taoist robe. His figure was lean but not frail. His beard and hair were all white but full of luster. His complexion looked a little old but his face was red. His eyes were clear and bright as if they were shining with divine light. He held his hands on his chest and had long hair. Mustache, there seems to be a faint smile on his face.

This man came on the clouds and landed in front of the stone platform within a moment. He carefully examined the long sword on the stone platform and exclaimed: "What a sword! The spiritual stone of heaven and earth is the embryo, and thousands of divine thunders are the hammer." The world is in a great calamity, but this sword is just the thing to cope with it."

After saying that, the old Taoist priest swept the whisk, and the sword rose out of the air. Following the direction of the whisk, it flew towards the south. The Taoist also followed the sword and stepped on the clouds.

At this point, this vast ice field is no longer deserted, and everything is as before.

...

It is said that there are immortals living in the nine heavens, who are immortal and live as long as the heavens. Wind, rain, lightning, landslides, and even birth, old age, illness, and death are all controlled by gods.

It is also said that under the Nine Nethers is the underworld. The life and death of all mortals are governed by the underworld. After death, the soul returns to the underworld, and the underworld determines the way of reincarnation.

Mortals are afraid of death and pursue the path of transcendence in order to understand life and death, live forever, and avoid the judgment of Yama, the underworld.

Some say it is the result of the unremitting efforts of countless sages, while others say it is God who sent blessings in gratitude for the perseverance of the world.

So there was practice, and all kinds of strange and strange techniques emerged one after another. Although no one really achieved immortality, they could extend their life by relying on these techniques, and their life span could be extended by dozens or even hundreds of years.

Although no one really becomes an immortal or a saint, those who practice do master some otherworldly powers. With the help of various magic weapons, they can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, can control water and fire, and even control the wind and rain. They have become gods in the eyes of mortals.

Although cultivation makes people different from ordinary people, people are still human after all. People have human nature, and with human nature there are good and evil. Those who do good benefit the world, which is the right path and are praised by the world; those who do evil bring disaster to the world. , is a demon, feared and hated by the world.

The righteous path and the demonic path are in tit-for-tat confrontation, and they have been fighting endlessly. For thousands of years, countless heroes have been killed in the struggle between the righteous path and the demonic path.

Sometimes the righteous path has the upper hand and kills all the evil people, leaving them to survive in a dark corner; sometimes the evil path has the upper hand and almost cuts off the righteous path.

But no matter whether it is the righteous path or the demonic path, no matter how powerful it is, it can never completely kill each other. After all, good and evil come from the human heart. Unless all life in the world is wiped out, otherwise there will be good and evil.

Three thousand years ago, the righteous path flourished, and several major sects of the righteous path stood in the world, occupying the blessed land of the Immortal Mountain and opening up mountain gates. The remaining forces of the demonic path could only hide their heads and tail, and did not dare to show up easily.

Perhaps it was due to its rise and decline, or perhaps it was the lack of a powerful opponent. On the surface, the major mountain gates seemed to be in harmony, but secretly they were secretly fighting each other for the false reputation of being number one, refusing to give in to each other.

No one is paying attention to the already weak demonic path anymore, but they are actually given a chance to recuperate!

A long-term prosperity must lead to decline, and a long-term decline must lead to prosperity. The two paths of good and evil have been fighting for thousands of years, one is declining and the other is increasing. For many years, the Demonic Dao has been in decline on the surface, but secretly it has kept a low profile and accumulated strength.

Finally, at some unknown time, a man named Qiu Tianren from the Demonic Path appeared out of nowhere, and he used iron-blooded means to unify the scattered Demonic Path and establish it as a holy religion!

Qiu Tianren naturally took the position of leader without any hesitation and was called the Holy Lord by those in the sect!

"Holy Cult" and "Holy Lord" are their self-proclaimed names, while the righteous people in the world prefer to call them "Devil Cult" and "Demon Lord".

The emergence of the Demon Sect naturally shocked the entire world of the Righteous Path. However, before they could react, the Demon Sect, led by Qiu Tianren, attacked the major mountain gates of the Righteous Path.

The forces of the Righteous Way had already fallen apart after years of internal fighting. When suddenly attacked, they had to fight on their own. In the end, the Righteous Way Mountain Gate, which seemed to be extremely powerful, was defeated by the Demon Sect in less than ten years, and the sect was destroyed and everyone was killed.

Seeing that the world is about to fall into the hands of the devil's sect, all life in the world is about to be destroyed, but no one can save it.

After the Demonic Cult wiped out all the major sects of the Righteous Path in one fell swoop, it ruled the world for hundreds of years. During this period, it was cruel and violent. If anyone dared to resist in a certain place, everyone there would be brutally massacred.

However, although such a cruel act frightened most people, there were always some who could not bear it and rose up to resist, and were eventually suppressed bloodyly. Rivers of blood could be seen everywhere.

One day, a young swordsman was hunted by the Demon Cult and hid in the depths of the Xuyun Mountains. When he saw that he was cornered, a golden light fell from the sky. All the people who were chasing the Demon Cult died violently, and there were no other scars on his body except a sword wound. .

At the same time, a Buddha statue in a ruined temple in Tianling Mountain in the west also emitted golden light all over the sky, as if golden lotuses were falling from the sky. A young novice monk who was evading pursuit was hiding under the altar table in front of the Buddha statue and fell into a deep sleep. Wherever the golden light went, auspiciousness appeared everywhere, and the people of the Demon Sect were all confused. When the golden light dissipated, they all burst into tears. From then on, they lived in the mountains, carried water and chopped firewood, chanted sutras and meditated, and all converted to Buddhism.

There is a cave in an unnamed valley in the south. A boy collecting herbs is resting in the cave. Suddenly, a crack opens in the bottom of the cave, and a large bronze cauldron rises from it. There are thousands of auspicious auras. The vegetation in the valley grows wildly, and elixirs are everywhere. .

These three visions of heaven and earth shocked the world. Everyone said that a saint was born and the demon sect was about to die. The people of the Demon Sect were so frightened that they sent countless minions to the place where the incident occurred to find out the truth, but all returned without success. This made the people of the Demon Sect even more panic-stricken, making it difficult for them to settle down, and they also restrained their actions a lot.

However, the few months after the vision were peaceful and calm, as if nothing had happened. The demon sect became more arrogant and even more arrogant, killing those who dared to come forward one by one in the past few months. The bloody methods were chilling.

Another twenty years have passed, and the demon sect is still rampant and people are still in dire straits. As for the vision back then, not many people remember it.

On this day, the entire land was filled with dark clouds and thunderous thunder. The world was filled with gloom and depression, making people breathless.

Suddenly, a huge sword light flew out from the depths of the Xuyun Mountains, directly cutting through the layers of dark clouds, revealing a piece of blue sky, from which the sun shone down, illuminating the Xuyun Mountains.

At the same time, the majestic Buddha's chant rang out on Tianling Mountain, and countless eminent monks seemed to be reciting scriptures in unison. The sound was so loud that the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the bright universe.

As if to echo this, the wind was raging in the unknown valley in the south. A huge bronze square tripod rose from the valley, sucking all the dark clouds into the tripod. Suddenly the sky was clear and the sun was shining. After a while, the wind gradually subsided, and the birds in the valley sang in harmony, and the animals danced in joy, creating a paradise-like scene.

From this day on, three peerless masters suddenly appeared in the world. They were a Taoist priest in green from the Xuyun Mountains in the north, a monk in plain clothes from Tianling Mountain in the west, and an unknown valley in the south. The man in yellow clothes walked out.

The green-robed Taoist priest carried an ancient sword that was neither gold nor stone. He picked up all the masters of the Demon Sect along the way, and all the evil sect figures died under his sword. He saved countless suffering people. When someone asked him what his name was, he only said that he came from Xuyun Mountain and his Taoist name was Yunxu, so the world respected him as Master Yunxu.

The monk with plain clothes and plain shoes calls himself Monk Kuci. He didn't use weapons, everywhere he went there were auspicious clouds and Buddha's light, but no one from the demon sect he encountered was his opponent.

Besides, the man in yellow always holds a small bronze cauldron in his hand. When fending off the enemy, the cauldron sometimes looks like a mountain, and sometimes is less than the size of a palm. When the bronze cauldron is turned, the opponent's magic weapon falls into the cauldron. Along the way, he refined medicines and cured diseases for people. Wherever he went, diseases did not occur and all demons were eliminated. No one knows this person's name, but because of his superb medical skills, good use of medicinal herbs, and ability to cure all kinds of diseases, he is respected by the world as the King of Medicine, and the nameless valley is called the Valley of the King of Medicine.

As agreed in advance, the three of them headed towards the Holy Mountain of the Central Demon Sect's main altar from the north, west and south respectively. They killed countless demons of the Demon Sect, and finally met at the foot of the holy mountain, and then headed up the mountain together.

After all, this mountain is where the main altar of the Demon Cult is located. There are thousands of masters of the Demon Cult on it, but the three of them are not afraid. With the power of just three people, they almost kill all the masters of the Demon Cult on the mountain, and finally become enemies with the leader of the Demon Cult. The Heavenly Blade battles on the top of the Demonic Mountain.

Qiu Tianren was a man of great talent and skill, and his cultivation was astonishing in the past and present. He was actually one against three, and for a time he was not at a disadvantage at all. Of course, there is a reason why the three of them consume a lot of power, but it is also enough to show how terrifying Qiu Tianren’s cultivation is!

The battle between the four almost shattered the earth, and even shattered the Demon Sect's holy mountain from the mountainside. In the end, Qiu Tianren was unable to defeat the four with his fists, and was killed by the three of them on the ruins of the holy mountain. It is known in history. "Battle of Demon Slayers".

The three of them were also seriously injured in this battle and returned home victorious.

All the masters of the Demon Cult were lost, leaving only three or two big cats and kittens. From then on, they failed to recover and were suppressed and hunted by countless lofty ideals.

The Holy Mountain of the Demon Sect is only half of its original size. For decades, not a single blade of grass has grown, and no one has left a trace.

Taoist Yunxu returned to Xuyun Mountain, accepted eleven or two disciples, and founded the Yuxu Sect. He only passed down the next book, the "Dao Xuan Jing". A few years later, he died on the main peak of the Yuxu Sect due to injuries sustained in the battle on the Holy Mountain. On the top of Wuji Peak, life span is sixty-eight. After Yunxu passed away, his disciples and descendants built a sword platform on the mountain behind Wuji Peak and enshrined the sword used by Yunxu on the sword platform. Therefore, the sword had killed countless masters of the Demon Sect and was called "The Executioner" by later generations. Magic Sword".

Master Kuci returned to Tianling Mountain to repair the dilapidated temple and built the Jade Buddha Temple. He recruited dozens of disciples and followers of the demon sect and passed down the Prajna Compassion Mantra. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is full of incense, and there are countless believers at Tianling Mountain. Almost everyone is doing good. A hundred years later, Kuci suddenly felt something in his heart when he was giving a sermon in the temple. He passed away in the main hall of the Emerald Buddha Temple with a smile on his face. At this time, the sun was setting, and the golden light in front of the Emerald Buddha Temple was like the appearance of the Buddha.

After the King of Medicine returned to the Valley of the King of Medicine, he accepted seven disciples and passed down the "Book of All Medicines". He led his disciples to run around the world all year round, saving lives and healing countless wounded. He died more than two hundred years later. At that time, the world and the earth were sad. There are countless people wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety, all of whom were saved by Medicine King and his disciples.

Because Yunxu, Kuci, and Yaowang once saved the world from dire straits, since then, Yuxumen, Jade Buddha Temple, and Yaowang Valley have been respected by the world as the leaders of the righteous path in the world. They have led various sects to fight against the remnants of the demon sect and help the world. right way.
