A dark and deep secret space.
There is no light here, only bursts of squeaking sounds can be heard, as if wild animals are gnawing some food.
Following the sound, all he could see was a pair of purple eyes, filled with elements of blood, cruelty, and madness.
Suddenly, there was a sound of slight footsteps.
As soon as these eyes heard the footsteps, their pupils suddenly stagnated, and the sound of nibbling stopped.
After a while, an old figure slowly walked over holding a torch.
"Oh? Why did you come here? Well... there is still a smell of blood. It seems that I have to mend this hole, and things still fall out!" The old figure said slowly in a slow voice.
The firelight moved slowly and soon moved towards the purple eyes.
I saw that the owner of these purple eyes actually had smooth purple scales, and had a human body shape.
Purple scales covered his body, but his face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
The old man slowly approached the humanoid monster. Under the light of the fire, a disemboweled corpse appeared under the monster.
It can be seen from the torn clothes of the corpse that this is a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain.
But at this time, he had become a dead body.
Looking at the corpse, an intriguing smile appeared on the old man's face.
"Haha, you guys are really going to cause trouble for me! You actually died here... Haha, if that old guy finds out, I don't know how much trouble there will be!"
The old man turned around and walked towards the darkness, "Okay, just hide for a few days and avoid the limelight!"
However, the monster did not move, as if it did not hear the old man's words.
"Oh, are you disobedient again?" The old man's tone was extremely gentle, but his eyes were extremely cold.
There was a rustling sound of chains, and the monster's purple eyes disappeared into the darkness along with the old man's footsteps.
That night, Qingcheng Mountain suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion, and a roar spread throughout Qingcheng Mountain.
Soon, a bronze bell on the top of Qingcheng Mountain was rung.
This bronze bell will only be rung when some members of the sect have made great contributions to the sect, or when some elders and their descendants have died.
The mournful sound of the bell lasts for a long time, which makes people feel heartbroken when they hear it.
One sound, two sounds...
It seemed that even the bright moon couldn't bear to look directly at it and was hidden behind the dark clouds.
Three sounds, four sounds...
A flying bird screamed and fell straight into the forest as if it had broken wings.
…………
The bell never stopped ringing that night, and an old figure stood beside the bell all night.
Countless disciples from Qingcheng Mountain gathered around the old man. Perhaps some of them were awakened by the sound of the bell, or perhaps some were practicing their skills but were interrupted by the sound of the bell.
But no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Qingcheng Mountain is not big, and after some inquiries, people who were interested quickly found out about Wu Yun.
The dead are the greatest.
There was nothing they could do but stand by and express their condolences.
I don’t know how long he kept knocking, but Wu Fan finally stopped.
After all the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain enter the school, they will separate a drop of blood essence from their bodies and leave it in the main hall on the top of Qingcheng Mountain.
In the main hall, each disciple will have an essence and blood token engraved with his name hanging on the top of the hall.
Once the disciple is outside
If you encounter any danger or lose your life, this essence and blood token will be broken into pieces to tell everyone about the disciple's death.
There are two elders guarding the main hall, and they rarely go out on weekdays.
But today, these two elders came to the giant bell in person.
After the two of them saluted Wu Fan, they handed him something in their hands.
"This is what we found when we were cleaning the hall this morning. I guess Wu Yun..."
"Why? Why didn't any of you check last night? Isn't it your duty to stay in the hall and guard it?" Wu Fan said viciously.
Everyone knows that the great elder has completely fallen into a state of irritability. At this time, just a little spark may blow him up!
At this time, these two elders obviously attacked the great elder!
The two elders, who were usually very dignified, were being scolded by Wu Fan. They hesitated for a long time but could not say anything.
This really can't be blamed on them. The hall where the disciples' essence and blood tokens are stored has always been safe and sound. After all, it is rare for people to die in these peaceful and prosperous times.
In addition, most of their Qingcheng Mountain disciples stay in Qingcheng Mountain, and a small number of disciples stay in some major Taoist temples in Kyushu. Sometimes if monsters appear in certain places, they will rush to eliminate them immediately.
However, most of the demon clans that appeared were of low strength. After all, the masters of Kyushu are now the human race!
It was with this mentality that the two elders went out to drink again last night...
However, they thought that leaving without permission this time would be peaceful, but who would have thought that this time they would run into the hands of the great elder!
The great elder’s adopted son Wu Yun is dead!
This was a huge event, and the time of death was probably when they were drinking last night.
Logically speaking, as soon as they discovered that Wu Yun's essence and blood token was broken, they should immediately report it to the sect's elders council, who would review and make a decision.
However, they left their posts without authorization. They have worked hard for so many years and have always been respected by everyone. However, this time, they are finally at risk!
The two elders blushed at the strange looks from the disciples around them, feeling extremely ashamed in their hearts.
"Please punish me, Great Elder!"
The two of them knelt down together, and their old and thin bodies seemed to have used up all their strength at once.
Wu Fan was silent for a long time, and the disciples around him looked at him nervously, wanting to see how he would deal with these two respected elders.
He sighed slowly, and the anger on his face dissipated a bit, and finally said calmly, "Go to the Discipline Hall to receive the punishment yourself!"
"Thank you, Great Elder!"
After the two of them kowtowed a song, they immediately ran away.
The surrounding disciples also looked at the great elder with some respect.
They thought that after experiencing the pain of losing their son, the great elder would be angry with these two elders who had neglected their duties and even do some irrational things.
After all, these two elders are both seniors in the sect. It can be said that they have devoted most of their lives to Qingcheng Mountain, and they are also very popular in the sect.
If the great elder really wants to stick to this matter, he will probably offend a lot of people, and it will also make it impossible for the two elders to step down.
Even if this matter is indeed the dereliction of duty of the two elders, it is not a big mistake.
After all, if the token is broken, it means that the owner of the token is dead, and there is nothing they can do to save it.
It can also be seen from this incident that these two elders really
He only thinks about the sect wholeheartedly.
Faced with Wu Fan's severe accusation against them, they immediately knelt down and chose to give up their own face to appease his anger.
Because they clearly know that if they choose to fight Wu Fan, they may save their own face, but the sect may also choose to make this matter a big deal and make it a trivial matter, letting them resolve it privately. .
But with so many disciples paying attention, if they do this, it will inevitably affect Wu Fan's prestige in front of everyone.
This is something they don't want to see. After all, they are already old people who have retreated to the background, and Wu Fan is now the mainstay of the sect and will hold up half of the sky for Qingcheng Mountain in the future.
So after some exchanges, they chose to help Wu Fan.
And Wu Fan, who calmed down, did not disappoint them.
Letting them go to the Discipline Hall is actually giving them a step down. After all, can the Discipline Hall do anything to these two elders?
Even some of the officials of the Discipline Hall were their former disciples!
However, Wu Fan's figure also disappeared into the sky after the two elders left.
This also made the elders who had been carefully observing him secretly start to hesitate.
Hesitant, do you want to follow me and continue to observe?
Because the direction Wu Fan is going is to the Head Palace!
In the head palace.
Sima Nan was guiding Meng Cultivation.
"Calm down first, and then activate your internal energy. You must first think about the order of activating the talismans!" Sima Nan shouted.
Liao Meng was now cross-legged in the air, with a green lotus sitting under him, and two fierce black snakes wrapped around his arms. His whole body was wrapped in countless talismans of different colors, each one The talismans and seals were actually filled with brilliance.
He was actually trying to run so many talismans at once!
However, running so many talismans at once was obviously a bit too much for him now. His face was pale and big beads of sweat were dripping down.
However, he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Groups of internal energy continued to condense from the palm of his hand, walking on the talisman according to a specific trajectory, trying to find the rules and the sequence of activation.
Finally, he seemed to have figured out something. The seal in his hand changed, his brows furrowed, and the two black snake shadows wrapped around his arm suddenly flew out of his arm and swam into a large ball of talisman seals wrapped around him. superior.
"go!"
With a loud shout from the dream, two black snakes wrapped around the big ball of talisman and seal, and rushed into the sky like two dragons playing with a pearl!
Sima Nan laughed loudly and said, "Well done!"
Then he flipped his palm, and a ray of white light hit the large group of talisman seals.
boom
Suddenly, white light, red light, green light, blue light...
Countless rays of light of different colors intertwined together, making it impossible to open your eyes and look directly at that mass of things.
The ear-piercing roar lasted for more than twenty breaths before it finally stopped. Mengya was so tired that he lay directly on the ground, panting heavily.
Sima Nan said calmly, "Yes, there has been progress!"
Liao Meng sighed, "I'm still a little unskilled. I'll go back and practice more."
Sima Nan nodded and asked again, "Don't wait until you, the Great Elder Wu Fan, come to give you some advice?"
Liao Meng shook his head and said, "It seems that he is here to find you, so I'd better not disturb him."
After saying that, Yu Meng stood up and left.
Silence fell in the hall.
