As soon as the wooden sword appeared, all the swords in the sword tomb were surrendering, rustling, and sword whistles came from the swords, forming a wave of sound.
"Wanjian Chaozong!"
Xu Zhong thought to himself.
The thought flashed across my mind.
And the wooden sword also drifted towards him, tracing back to its familiar source.
The wooden sword is made of unknown materials. It is a unique magic weapon.
The vast black fog outside the sword tomb was completely disintegrated when the sword light illuminated it.
The ghost mother was illuminated by an extremely hot yang energy, and the surface of her body seemed to be burning, emitting wisps of green smoke.
The ghost mother screamed and retreated behind the sword spirit.
The sword spirit kneaded the technique with two fingers, and in an instant, an endless sword intention bloomed from his body. Then, he stretched out his hand to grab the wooden sword.
However, the wooden sword broke free from his hand and got into Xu Zhong's gourd.
The gourd shook, then submerged the wooden sword.
"It seems that you still have to come with me." The ghost mother glanced at Xu Zhong.
She couldn't grasp the sword, and neither could the sword spirit.
Without the sword, they would not be able to go to Longdu Cave Heaven.
This sword has its own coordinates.
"You can practice this sword for a while, and then we will set off to the Dragon Capital Cave."
At this moment, Xu Zhong finally heard the two words Dongtianqian.
"Longdu, Dongtian!" He tried his best, but could not say the word "Longdu", only Dongtian blurted out.
Under the gaze of the sword spirit and the ghost mother, Xu Zhong did not dare to disobey and hurriedly took out the wooden sword from the gourd.
The so-called sacrificial refining is just to put a brand on it, so that the sword spirit can remember his aura and be controlled by him.
The sword spirit is still sleeping.
"This is not the true form of the sword spirit!" Xu Zhong was shocked, but his expression remained unchanged.
He could feel the incompleteness of the sword spirit, and he could also feel the power of this wooden sword.
It is a sword whittled from peach wood.
The peach tree is originally a pure Yang tree, breathing the essence of the sun and settling in the wood.
Mortals would cut peach wood into swords to ward off evil spirits.
And this wooden sword is even more yang-y.
Xu Zhong seemed to be holding a sun. Outside the sun, the sword energy flowed, which was a rushing river of Yang energy. It was no wonder that the ghost mother could not get close and was forced to hide behind the sword spirit.
"Can you show me the sword?" The ghost mother did not ask for it by force, but asked tentatively.
Xu Zhong held out the wooden sword without doubting his presence.
Because Xu Zhong is controlling it, the yang energy outside the wooden sword is restrained and cannot hurt the ghost mother.
"This is the peach wood sword that I picked and whittled with my own hands back then and gave it as a gift to him who was a beginner in swordsmanship." The ghost mother touched the wooden sword and recalled it with her eyes.
Xu Zhong could only stand there silently.
Suddenly, he saw something.
There is a touch of new greenness on the ground.
"Miss Yun!" The sword spirit walked to the ghost mother: "There is a beacon in this sword. As long as you leave Tianjian Cave, it will guide you all the way to Longdu Cave."
The ghost mother couldn't wait a moment. After returning the sword to Xu Zhong, she lifted up Changyun and set off from the sword tomb and left the Tianjian Cave.
When their figures disappeared in Longdu Cave, the sword spirit returned to his residence.
A huge portal opens, and behind it is a three-layered world.
He goes into this world.
The wounds on my hands are healing bit by bit.
…
Xu Zhong withdrew his gaze.
He just seemed to feel a river of sword intent.
But the sword intent was just like his hallucination, nothingness.
Xu Zhong felt that he must have felt wrong.
After leaving Tianjian Cave, the wooden sword in his hand began to lead the way uncontrollably.
The place where Tianjian Cave is located is Qingzhou in the State of Yu, which is 160,000 miles away from Yangshuo.
Connecting each other is a huge river, Liangshui.
This big river is the second largest river in Yu State after Qushui.
According to legend, the word "Liang" in Liangshui originated from Jianliang.
At this moment, there are incense shrines everywhere along the Liangshui River, and the rich scent of incense has even condensed into floating clouds.
"It's the Shelong Festival!" Xu Zhong remembered the Shelong Festival described in the book and found that it was similar to the scene before him.
Shelong Festival, in spring.
In spring, the grass grows and the orioles fly, and everything revives and is full of vitality.
At this time, people living along the river will go to Liangshui, build shrines, offer sacrifices to the Dragon God, and pray to the Dragon God to eliminate disasters and bring blessings, and for good weather.
People who live far away from the river will also offer sacrifices to the land on this day.
Society means land.
The emperor will also use the gift of Tai Lao to comfort the ancestral temple during this period of time.
It can be said that Shelong Festival is a festival for the whole people of Yu State to worship.
The ghost mother doesn't care what Shelong Festival is.
All she cared about was the cloud of incense in front of her.
In the clouds, there were several real green dragons swallowing the incense. The leader was a rare five-clawed green dragon, which was like a blue cloud, lying across the sky.
"It turns out there really is a dragon in the world!" Xu Zhong had never seen a vacuum before.
The long worms he had seen were all snakes.
This green dragon was obviously waiting for them here.
No, it should be waiting for the ghost mother.
"You want to block my way?" The ghost mother frowned, with a worried look on her face.
"Your evil thoughts are too strong and your murderous intent is too strong. I have to stop you." Qinglong's magic power is extremely powerful, surpassing the ghost mother by an unknown amount.
A river god like him can spread the wind thousands of miles with his breath, and make rain spread thousands of miles with a sneeze.
"These mortals below lit incense to sacrifice to me. They threw the sacrifices into the Liangshui, hoping that I could protect them." The green dragon's whiskers are like two lightning bolts, dancing and making a sound of thunder.
"I absorbed their incense to refine my true body, so naturally I have to protect them."
"The three hundred thousand miles of land around Liangshui is my fiefdom. If you set foot in it, I will kill you."
Qinglong seemed to be suppressing his anger.
His anger can already affect the heavens.
The ghost mother remained silent and turned around.
The Dragon God still stood where he was, staring closely at the Ghost Mother.
Not long after the ghost mother left Liangshui, she met the mountain god.
The mountain god is also extremely powerful, frightening the ghost mother and driving her away.
Along the way, if you encounter a river, there will be a river god blocking the way, and if you encounter a mountain, there will be a mountain god blocking the way.
They were almost wandering in a circle.
"It turns out that there is more than just Taoist alliance in the world!" Xu Zhong said silently in his heart.
The gods of mountains, rivers, and the land are also the guardians of the human world.
They enjoy human sacrifices and also protect humans.
Some mountain gods, river gods, and earth temples are withered and their powers are weakened, and they dare to block the way forward.
The ghost mother did not dare to take action. She knew that once she took action, she would trigger a siege from these gods.
The ghost mother went round and round, and finally returned to Liangshui.
"I don't kill mortals!" The Ghost Mother seemed to be negotiating with the Dragon God: "Your duty seems to be to protect mortals from being killed by Qi Refiners. I don't kill mortals, so why should you block my way."
From the ghost mother's mouth, Xu Zhong finally understood the functions of these gods.
Qi Refiners are too powerful compared to mortals.
Once there are Qi practitioners or monsters who try to kill people, they will take action to suppress them, and their duty only goes so far.
"You have killed countless people." In Dragon God's eyes, the evil spirit of the Ghost Mother had condensed into a red cloud. The thick red cloud seemed to be dripping with blood.
The ghost mother doesn’t know what to say,
As a result, one dragon and one demon consumed each other in the air.
"Grandpa, I'm full!" A green dragon transformed into a delicate and beautiful little dragon girl. She grabbed the green dragon's whiskers and dangled them.
"Xuan'er, when you're full, take your brothers and sisters back to Liangshui. Grandpa still has something to do!"
Ying Xuan'er nodded and raised her arms, and those green dragons followed behind her. They hid their figures and returned to Liangshui.
The banging on the river bank has also ended. They gathered the shrines and threw the sacrificial sachets into the river.
Where they didn't notice, a group of big herrings swam. These big herrings opened their mouths and swallowed the sachets, and then sent them into the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace was splendid and magnificent. At this time, many sacrifices were piled up, and there were special clam girls and turtle demons to classify and count them.
These are things Xu Zhong and the others cannot possibly see.
And just as they were confronting each other, two figures suddenly walked from the distance.
A middle-aged man and a young man.
The middle-aged man was wearing a yellow shirt, with a square seal hanging on his waist.
The young man behind him was dressed in white and extremely beautiful.
Both are acquaintances.
One is the senior who guides the way out of the abyss, while the other is the fallen snake demon.
"I've seen the Liangshui River God!" The middle-aged man saluted the Dragon God first.
After his eyes stayed on Xu Zhong for a moment, he focused on the ghost mother.
"This man has such a strong evil spirit, he must have killed many people!" There was murderous intent in his eyes.
"I have never killed a mortal!" The ghost mother felt her scalp numb.
The sense of oppression this middle-aged man gave her was even stronger than Qinglong's.
"I know!" The middle-aged man's eyes were full of light.
Time flows in his eyes, allowing him to peek into the short future: "If you don't kill mortals now, it doesn't mean you won't kill mortals in the future."
But he had no intention of taking action.
"My country, Yu, governs the country by law. If you have not violated the law at this moment, I will naturally not kill you."
After listening to his words, the ghost mother breathed a sigh of relief.
If the middle-aged man chooses to take action, she may not be able to get out of Liangshui.
"Senior River God, I want to ask you for something I left here before." The middle-aged man changed his smile and said to Qinglong.
"Have you found the dragon vein of the Ancient Yue Kingdom?" Qinglong seemed a little surprised.
"Only the last one is left, but I was in a mysterious place that day." The middle-aged man said.
After listening to his words, Qinglong spit out a mountain range from his mouth.
This mountain range was very small at first, and then grew in size when the wind blew, spanning thousands of miles, but it was soon included in the pockets of middle-aged people.
Only a shadow was left in the sky.
Perhaps, it will be regarded as a mirage.
Then there is another mountain range.
The green dragon finally spit out three mountain ranges, all of which were accepted by the middle-aged man.
From his conversation with Qinglong, it is not difficult to guess what these mountains are.
He looked at the young man behind the middle-aged man.
There was no longer a spear in his hand.
"Then I would like to thank you, senior." The middle-aged man said hello to Qinglong and was about to leave.
Before leaving, he came to Xu Zhong and asked: "But you are being coerced. If you are being coerced, I can rescue you."
"Yes, I was coerced!" Xu Zhong said without hesitation.
Then the middle-aged man smiled and pulled him to his side. The ghost mother dared not speak in anger.
"You have not triggered the laws of Yu State, and Yu State will not restrict your freedom. Lord River God, can you give me a favor and let her leave." The middle-aged man asked.
"Since you're the one to speak, I can't help but give you the honor." The River God glanced at her and said, "Inform you of your whereabouts, and I will send a message to the 360 gods around Liang Shui to let you go. "
"Longdu Cave!" The ghost mother said coldly.
"Longdu Cave!" The middle-aged man chewed these words and seemed to be interested: "That's just right, we are on the same journey."
