After this change, the scene in Fanghu Mountain was completely different from before. The altar was completely destroyed, the bronze tripod was torn to pieces, and even the corridor completely disappeared.
Lin Mo looked solemn and said: "The corridor is a bridge connecting two spaces. If those disciples can get to Gui Wu Village, they may be fine. If they are still stranded in the corridor, they may be in bad luck."
Chu Shan Gu's heart suddenly jumped, and he said in a panic: "Du Hongwei set up an ambush in the corridor. Even though the blue luan bird accompanied him, the time was too short."
Qing Ming comforted him: "Don't worry, Qingluan is proficient in the space avenue, and there is no danger even if the corridor collapses." The cultivators were slightly relieved after hearing this.
Mei Ying suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "It's us who are in danger. There are no flaws in the space barrier here. How can we get out?"
The words woke up the people in the dream, and several people looked at each other, and then laughed bitterly.
Qing Ming suddenly looked at Chu Shangu and asked, "Junior brother, do you still remember what Master Xuanyin said that day in Star Picking City?"
Chu Shangu said casually: "I still have a theory about the space avenue that is still fresh in my memory..." Yan Bi seemed to have remembered something that was bothering him, and suddenly looked listless.
Although Qing Ming knew that he had made a mistake, he no longer concealed it and said, "Ying'er girl still refuses to recognize her junior brother?"
Chu Shangu sighed and said: "You blame me for what happened back then. It's understandable that Ying'er can't let go."
Seeing Lin Mo and Mei Ying scratching their heads, Chu Shangu suddenly started talking and explained: "When my foolish brother and his wife Wei Shuang were ordered to station in Star Picking City, they met Yang Qingcang by chance. This thief bullies the weak and has a deep understanding of the family. Fellow Taoists have always drawn their swords without warning.
The Yu couple fought fiercely with the thieves and were wounded one after another. Knowing that they were outnumbered, they had no choice but to disperse and break out of the encirclement. At that time, my wife was about to give birth, and Yudi was always worried about her safety, but he had no choice but to stay in the mountains to recuperate for several days.
After further inquiring, I learned that my wife had returned to Star Reaching City to avoid the enemy. However, due to the long journey, her fetal energy was disturbed and she gave birth to a daughter. Fortunately, she was taken care of by several casual cultivators and she managed to escape.
Yang Qingcang was furious and angry at the casual cultivators who provided assistance, and then went on a killing spree, with no one involved spared. Fighting is prohibited in the Star-Zhaing City, but no one can stop him from doing evil. Fortunately, Master Xuanyin of Jialan Temple received an urgent message, and Xingye arrived to scare him away.
The foolish brother didn't know the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, and was worried. After that, he tried hard to find them, but they were nowhere to be found. I just thought that they had been poisoned. I was completely devastated and almost wanted to die.
Master Xuanyin had a kind heart and persuaded me many times with the most profound principles of Buddhism until he sent me back to Tongchenyuan. At that time, Yudi received a message from Weishuang, saying that he was rescued by Mrs. Yuehua and would return after he recovered slightly. The little girl Ying'er was fostered by the Ye family in Star Picking City. "Speaking of this, Chushan Gu had mixed feelings.
Qing Ming continued on his behalf: "When Master Xuanyin and Little Sister accompanied Junior Brother Chu to Star Picking City, there was no news from the Ye family. It turns out that the head of the Ye family is a man of great integrity and a man who will always practice what he preaches. In order to protect Yinger Zhouquan, his family was destroyed. Fortunately, he anticipated Yang Qingcang's ruthless temper and sent Ying'er and her great-grandson to Jialan Temple to be raised before his death.
After that, Ye Chan, a descendant of the Ye family, stayed in Jialan Temple to practice, while Ying'er returned to Tongchenyuan and was accepted as a closed disciple by Senior Brother Xie. Before the disaster, the head of the Ye family had injected two inherited jade pendants into the bodies of Ying'er and Ye Chan respectively, and described the details of the incident in detail. A few years ago, Ying'er accidentally activated the inheritance artifact. She must have had a rift with Senior Brother Chu and his wife because she was grateful for the Ye family's kindness. "
Chu Shangu sighed and said, "Senior Sister said this is about it. For the Ye family's kindness, the Yu couple were filled with gratitude. They originally intended to bring Ye Chan and Ying'er together to become a couple, but it's a pity..."
"Everyone in Tongchenyuan admires the righteous knights and knights. This is not just a matter for virtuous couples." Qing Ming interrupted, "It's good to just let things happen. Don't mislead others or yourself when the time comes."
Chu Shangu fell into deep thought, and everyone in Lin Mo was also silent. They all thought that Yang Qingcang was full of evil, and he really deserved punishment. However, this old incident had never been publicized, and only a few people in Qifeng Peak knew about it.
Lin Mo cleared his throat and said: "Brother, I have something unclear. Yang Laomo acts so carelessly, how can he be a true hero?"
Chu Shangu looked a little depressed. Why was he being hunted endlessly? He knew some inside information, but it was a pity that he couldn't go into details.
Qing Ming said bitterly: "This matter has something to do with the traitor back then. His lie was that Luo Yinzhu was hidden in Luojia Mountain, thus causing this trouble for our garden." Regarding the fairy beads and old events from back then, the cultivators did not dare to ask in detail. They all fell silent.
After a long while, Mei Ying changed the subject and said, "How did Master Xuanyin talk about the Great Space Avenue?"
Qing Ming gathered his mind and said eloquently: "Master Xuanyin has painstakingly understood the avenue of space. He once said, 'There is an interface around any particle point in space, the horizon! No space is completely independent. The function of the boundary-breaking stone is to compete with the interface. Force, reshape the space channel'"
Lin Mo touched his chin and thought hard, and said: "The drastic changes in Fanghu Mountain will inevitably lead to instability in the space. Maybe we can forget about finding the corridor and look for the weak points of the interface again."
Qing Ming nodded and said: "Yes, as long as there is a slight abnormality, the Boundary Breaking Stone can be used."
For Huaying-level monks, finding flaws in space is just a small test. However, the wall here is too perfect. Everyone urged their spiritual thoughts to see through the wall as much as possible. It took a long time for Chen to suddenly notice an anomaly.
The Boundary Breaking Stone is floating in the sky. It is made of meteorites from outside the sky, and the stars and universe are engraved on the surface.
Qing Ming pinched the anti-heaven seal and shouted urgent spells. The boundary-breaking stone collapsed into dots of spiritual light and surged towards the slightly undulating barrier.
Not long after, the spiritual light was blazing, and a deafening roar followed. The barrier suddenly made a few crisp sounds, and instantly collapsed into a circle of bright holes.
The five figures suddenly flashed and disappeared without a trace. The tunnel was then closed as before, and Fanghu Mountain became silent again.
For a long time, a snake-like head emerged from the ferocious water, its red eyes flashing with the flames of hatred. It stared blankly for a long time, and finally let out a mournful cry and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.
※
The disciples of Tongchenyuan followed Qing Ming's wishes and did not dare to stay. After leaving the city, they headed eastward with their swords.
Crossing the Lanlin Plain in the afternoon, we encountered a broad stream of water again. The microwaves are rippling, as clear and smooth as glistening glass, the blue river is full of water, rolling like a ribbon across the sky, the cobblestones all over the river are exquisite and delicate, and the green mountains and green trees are reflected in it, adding beauty and color.
Panpu City lies on the bank of this water, where the climate is pleasant and the air is fresh. Its landmark building is a seven-hole stone arch bridge spanning the water. The Hong Bridge lies on the waves, which is extremely vigorous and majestic. The bridge railings are round and fantastic, and the bridge deck is ingenious.
There is a constant flow of people passing by in the city, and there are flourishing wine shops and misty terraces everywhere.
The sun was shining brightly, and Yu Lu led everyone into a strange alley with ease and familiarity. The alley was straight and clean, with moss marks on the walls and unknown climbing vines happily blooming with small flowers.
After walking a few dozen feet, we arrived at a simple courtyard. The courtyard is called Mugui Inn. A sundial is placed in the center of the clean courtyard to count the time. Several crabapples are planted along the walls, and the trees are full of crabapples. The flowers are as bright as clouds.
The inn is clean, but the decoration is extremely mediocre. Because it is far away from the bustling place, few guests come here.
The waiter lay down on a lounge chair to warm up to the sun and take a nap. The shopkeeper was a dry old man who was sitting upright, pouring and drinking from a plate of dried tofu. Although his muddy old eyes were wide open, his chopsticks were not obeying him and kept clamping. Can't afford food.
Yan Ci coughed lightly. The father-in-law's eyes were so intense that he might not be able to see clearly even if a cow passed by.
The waiter was still lying on his stomach, slightly squinting his eyes and said: "Is it objectively better to eat or stay in a hotel?"
Yu Lu threw out a piece of yellow gold and ordered: "First prepare two plain banquet tables, and then arrange twelve guest rooms."
The waiter in the shop rolled up and grasped the gold ingot in his hand with great accuracy. He was so happy that he said incoherently: "Yes, yes... please, please, sir, please."
The old man caught a glimpse of the golden light, and his hands holding the chopsticks couldn't help but tremble. He didn't even notice that the wine bottle had been knocked over.
The plain banquet was well cooked, but few people used chopsticks.
The waiter came forward and nodded and said, "Sir, is the food not to your taste?"
Yu Lu said: "It's still good, it just lacks one ingredient."
The waiter fawned: "What kind of condiments?"
Yu Lu smiled and said, "Tongchenzi."
The waiter praised: "Although the name is good, I have never heard of it!"
A bowl of fresh mushroom and tofu soup with a strong aroma was placed on the table. Yu Lu took out a melon seed-sized grass seed and put it into the bowl. Suddenly, the soup bowl was filled with aura, and a logo shaped like a flying kite appeared, which seemed to be made by the same person. It is a combination of the two characters "dust".
The waiter turned around to look at his father-in-law, then trotted to close the courtyard door and put up a sign saying "Closed today, come back tomorrow".
The trembling old man straightened his waist, straightened his chest, and his old eyes were no longer cloudy. He stood up and said calmly: "Let's talk inside."
Many disciples suddenly realized that this was the secret contact point of Tongchenyuan.
A little hidden in the wild, a big hidden in the city, hiding in a corner of this bustling city, opening an inconspicuous little inn is a clever idea to hide.
The father-in-law's name is Gu Yin, and he is a well-known incarnation-stage elder on Taichu Peak. According to legend, he has traveled far and wide, but unexpectedly he is on duty in Panpu City.
The waiter's name is Zhen Xiaoer, and he is Gu Yin's direct disciple.
Everyone secretly laughed when they heard his name. This guy was really born to be a waiter! It fully interprets a philistine face.
Gu Yin patiently listened to Yu Lu's detailed report on the events in Shiyan City, and sighed: "It turns out that Jiu Ying is not dead, but has been sealed, and is actually related to the demon clan."
Yu Lu said: "This matter is serious. Uncle Qingming asked us to report to Senior Dai Xieyang of Piaoxuewu."
Gu Yin said: "It's only half a day's journey from Shiyan City. Since Qing Ming gave such an order, he must be able to delay it for a while. You can stay there first and go to Dai Lao'er to inform him of the matter in the evening." Then he smiled and said: "Yes. These nephews have extraordinary Taoist skills, but they are quite impressive. Who do they study under?"
Yu Lu then invited everyone to visit them one by one, and Gu Yin also greeted them one by one with a smile.
Despite the way Gu Yin pretended to be desperate and indifferent to everything, he actually had an easy-going personality. Zhen Xiaoer seemed to be no lazy person. He cleaned the guest room spotlessly on his own and put fresh flowers in the vase.
Yan Ci lay undressed on the bed and thought about it. Since Tongchenyuan has set up a contact point in Panpu City, Yingge City and Zhaixing City should be no exception. Everything in the world cannot escape the eyes and ears, but how to send the news back to Yuan The mid-range handicap is very puzzling.
He also thought that if even Qing Ming could not prevent the birth of Jiu Ying, even if Piaoxuewu had been prepared in advance, it might not be able to avoid being poisoned by Jiu Ying. This Pucheng might be in danger. Gu Yin leaving everyone in the city is worth considering. Is it possible? Is there any foolproof strategy?
