Xuantiansha.
At the top of Xizhou's cliffs, smoke and clouds are steaming, ancient vines are embedded in the walls, and hawks with wings stretched more than ten feet fly by from time to time, like a prehistoric land that has not been visited by humans for thousands of years.
Occasionally, a ray of golden light will fly over. At this point, the seals will be moved and the formation will be activated. The ancient vines all over the cliff will swim away like spiritual snakes, revealing a secret gap hidden in the cliff. If you go deep into this gap, you will find a secret realm.
Yes, Xuantian Temple is an ancient temple hidden in a secret realm.
Usually, large immortal gates will not build their gates in secret realms. This is equivalent to being isolated from the world of immortality, making it difficult to have any contact with the outside world. The spiritual energy in the secret realm is often unable to carry a huge force and is only suitable for some small sects.
But the advantage is safety.
Xuantian Temple relied on this isolation from the world to maintain its inheritance for nearly a thousand years. But ever since they decided to participate in the Ten Lands War, they were destined to never be peaceful again.
call out--
A bright sword light streaked across the blue sky and stayed on the top of the mountain, hanging motionless.
Boo hoo hoo——
Immediately after, nearly a hundred sword rays shot through the air one after another, forming a brilliant curtain of light. Finally, they all hovered on the cliff, and the invisible sword energy scattered the clouds.
Standing above these sword lights are women dressed in blue and white clothes. The leader of the group has a high comb in a high bun and lightly raised crescent eyebrows. She has a cold face and frosty brows, staring at the cliff in front of her.
After all the sword lights behind were stopped, the leading woman raised her halberd finger, shot out a white light, and shouted: "Come here!"
laugh--
The white light on her fingertips broke through the air and formed sword energy, instantly cutting off the ancient vines clinging to the cliff. Many of the ancient vines seemed to be in pain, trembling and twitching for a while, and then retracted in the blink of an eye.
Revealing the dark gap behind.
Rumble——
Not long after, the cliff began to tremble, and as the mountain collapsed, golden light bloomed, and a shining bald head poked out from the gap with the light.
Then came the second, third...
The first one was a middle-aged monk wearing cassocks, with peaceful eyebrows and nine scars on his head that contained spiritual light. Behind him were several young monks lined up.
"Why is Headmaster Han so aggressive in fighting?" The monk asked aloud: "Have I, Xuantian Temple, provoked the Ice Soul Sword Sect?"
He looked at the woman in the sky with her hair in a high bun. She was Han Qinglin, the contemporary headmaster of the Ice Soul Sword Sect.
"Why are you here, don't you know?" Han Qinglin's eyes were full of anger, "Your good disciple of Xuantian Sha has kidnapped my eldest disciple, and you don't know?"
As she spoke, she took out a letter and threw it at the monk. With a whoosh, even the paper was filled with sword energy.
Thanks to the high level of cultivation of the monk who received the letter, he held the envelope firmly in his hand with a bang of luck, and then opened it to take a look.
The content of the letter was probably that Liu Xingzhu, the top disciple of Ice Soul Sword Sect, and Tong Tong, a disciple of Xuantian Sha, heard that they were in love with each other. They knew that neither sect would agree, so the two decided to elope.
The Ice Soul Sword Sect is located in the North. It was founded only two hundred years ago. The founder was from the Taiyin Sect. Later, he created his own swordsmanship inheritance and has always only accepted female disciples. But because he practiced swordsmanship, he also had a close relationship with the Endless Sword Sect.
In the Northland, with these two Nine Heavens Immortal Sects as backstage, you can basically walk sideways. But the disciples of the Ice Soul Sword Sect rarely cause trouble, because the rules of the mountain sect are very strict, and they must strictly report even when they go out of the mountain.
Regarding matters of love, they have always been strictly prohibited.
In contrast, the Taiyin Sect does not have such strict control. The older disciples in the sect who have not cultivated the Supreme Heart are quite free in this regard. The rules set by the founder of the Ice Soul Sword Sect are far more stringent than this. If you want to get involved in love, you must withdraw from the sect and never use the sect's magical power for the rest of your life.
That Liu Xingzhu was the eldest disciple carefully cultivated by the contemporary sect master, and now she suddenly eloped with someone, it was no wonder that she was furious.
After reading the letter, the middle-aged monk raised his eyes and said, "Master Han, please don't get angry. I'm going to make inquiries right away."
After saying that, he turned back and said to the disciple behind him: "Go and see where Tongwen is?"
The two disciples took the order and quickly retreated into the secret realm.
Not long after, an old monk in cloth robes arrived with several middle-aged monks with high levels of cultivation. When the previous great monk saw the old monk, he immediately took a step back and saluted respectfully: "Master."
This old monk is none other than the abbot of Xuantian Temple, Zen Master Chiyue.
"What?" Han Qinglin stared at the old abbot, also showing no face to him, "Isn't it you who kidnapped my apprentice? I'm looking for that little bald donkey, what are you doing here?"
"Master Han, please be patient." Zen Master Chiyue clasped his hands together and said slowly: "I have searched all over the temple and found that Tongwen has not been found. It must be that he has not returned from his previous trip. He is also the best disciple of my Xuantian Temple, and we will definitely His whereabouts will not be left unknown.”
"Can't find it?" Han Qinglin snorted coldly, "I had expected this. My disciple has always followed the sect's rules and never dared to go beyond them. How could he suddenly commit such an outrageous thing? It must have been premeditated by you and others. Become my disciple!"
"Where do you start talking about this..." Zen Master Chiyue replied: "Please wait a moment, Master Han. When I open my third eye and use the method of searching the sky and the earth to find these two people, I will definitely give you an explanation. .”
"I'll wait here! If you delay for too long, my disciple's innocence will be ruined, and his years of practice as a Supreme Being will be nullified. How will you explain it?" Han Qinglin's jade face was sinister and full of power.
"Absolutely impossible." Chiyue said flatly: "He is born with a predestined relationship to understand the Buddha. For him, this is tantamount to self-destruction of his practice. Please don't worry, Headmaster Han."
Before he finished speaking, the seals in the old monk's palms changed, and a golden light curtain was already formed. He opened his eyes, and the divine light fell on the light curtain, and he instantly traveled across the mountains and seas.
However, the scene above the light curtain changed as Zen Master Chiyue looked farther and farther away, and the shadow of the two disciples never appeared. Just when Han Qinglin's face became increasingly ugly, a woman in plain clothes suddenly appeared in the picture.
"Xingzhu." Han Qinglin shouted: "This is it!"
The woman in the picture is her beloved disciple, but Liu Xingzhu's current situation is not good. In that picture, there were many blood stains all over her body. It looked like she had been seriously injured and was unconscious. His body was bound by many long golden ropes engraved with runes, and he was trapped in a dungeon.
As Zen Master Chiyue gradually looked outward, he saw clearly that the place where the dungeon was was a solemn temple with glittering gold. Looking further outward, the place where the temple was located was in a top secret realm.
Looking outside again, there is an old monk at the entrance of the secret realm. The old monk is holding up a golden light curtain for a group of people. The images on the light screen change. The content is exactly... Open the golden light curtain, the content above is...
Zen Master Chiyue's expression changed.
Do I see myself?
Before the Xuantian Sha disciples here could see clearly what was going on, Han Qinglin's eyebrows were raised.
"Okay, you are a bunch of bald donkeys who talk about compassion, but you do such dirty things in private!" Her sword energy soared into the sky, "My subordinates of the Ice Soul Sword Sect, form a formation! Follow me into this temple to rescue Liu Xingzhu! "
"Master Han..." Zen Master Chiyue seemed to want to say something else, but what he received in response was a burst of cold sword energy.
laugh--
The sword array is awesome!
…
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
A long-haired giant beast about thirty stories tall, shaped like a liger and with hooves like an ox and a horse. It’s hard to see clearly because it’s covered in heavy armor. To build such an armor for this giant thing, it’s just a matter of time. I don’t know how much gold and iron materials were consumed.
But that's not the most amazing thing.
It is walking towards the front with heavy steps, where there is a huge mountain made entirely of diamond. There are swords and halberds on the mountain without trees; there are fortresses everywhere without stones; alien beasts wearing armors shuttle back and forth, even flying in the sky All the spiritual birds wear a pair of chainmail.
Zhanling Mountain.
This unique inheritance, which mainly focuses on tempering battle formations, has always had a very important position in the land of Kyushu, but its reputation is not obvious. When they stood in front of the stage, people discovered that extremely terrifying power had accumulated inside the King Kong Mountain.
boom--
But I saw a green light in the distance falling like a meteor, followed by an explosion and roar.
"What's going on?", "Enemy attack!", "No...it's a few junior brothers from the beast riding camp..."
It turned out that the green light just now was actually a hissing wind beast with a mysterious appearance. There were several Zhanlingshan disciples riding on its back. It was obvious that both the man and the beast were seriously injured.
"Who did it?" A villain in armor immediately roared: "Who dares to offend our brothers from Zhan Lingshan?!"
"Yes..." A young disciple on the ground who was slightly injured raised his head with difficulty and said weakly: "He is a Confucianism cultivator. When he saw our Zhan Lingshan armor, he came up and beat him... and also said that we Zhan Lingshan What kind of immortal sect is it worthy of competing with their Confucian sect’s Yushan Academy for ten places? I really don’t know how high the world is. He also said... He also said that in the future, he would see us once and beat us once."
"Wow yeah-"
Hearing this, many of the Zhanlingshan men present roared with fury.
If this was on Silver Sword Peak, I am afraid that any living creature except the Emperor's daughter Feng would ask... Are you sure that the person is a Confucian cultivator? Why do people in the academy do this kind of thing? Could it be a matter of sowing dissension... something like that.
After all, this technique seems too simple and direct. If you are fishing, then this is undoubtedly a straight hook...the bait placed on the hook is still onion, ginger and garlic.
But Zhanlingshan and Tiangangmen are both martial arts sects, so this method is more suitable for them.
"Kill to take revenge!", "Tomb down Yushan Academy!", "Not only, but also smash up Shenglong Academy!"
In this angry crusade, only an older, seemingly wise man raised his hand and said, "Brothers, please be patient. I think there is something fishy about this."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at him, "What's wrong with Senior Brother?"
"I suspect..." The wise man said word by word: "That person is not from Yushan Academy at all!"
"Oh?" Everyone was surprised and asked in unison: "How can you see it?"
"I have fought against Confucian cultivators at the Immortal Sect Conference, and I know their methods. The injuries suffered by several junior disciples are cruel and sinister, and they don't seem to have magical powers from the Confucian sect, so I make a bold guess..." The wise man said word by word. : "That man was hired by Yushan Academy!"
"Ah!" Everyone said in unison: "Elder brother is really wise. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have thought of it!"
"This Yushan Academy is really hateful. Even if they hire people, they will plot against us."
"Tamp down the academy!"
The raging flames of war ignited from Zhanling Mountain, and the hunting flag fluttered in the wind, as if the turbulent undercurrent was finally coming to the surface.
…
At the same time, on top of Shu Mountain.
"Mr. Chu, are you calling me here about our election for the ten places?" Huan Leisheng asked earnestly.
Seeing the resurgence of the Jiuzhou, the election of the ten regions has become a major event of common concern across the world, but Chu Liang is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and only takes him to celebration banquets, welcome banquets, guest banquets... in short, some business Cooperation has gradually put the Fu Lu Sect's business on the right track.
But he didn't mention a word about the general election.
Although Huan Lei Sheng has no obsession with the Ten Earth Sects, he has signed up anyway, so he can't just show off when the time comes, right? At least recruit two disciples to make up the numbers.
But Chu Liang not only refused to give in, he even rejected his request to bring back the disciples he had dismissed.
Chu Liang said: "Our Fu Lu Sect is different from the past. Now that you are under my banner, you are a sect under Shushan. The welfare benefits of your disciples are based on those of Shushan disciples. This is equivalent to a... ...Um, establishment. This thing cannot be given away easily. Do you understand how it relates to the interests of the sect?"
Naturally, Huan Leisheng didn't know anything about benefits, treatment, and establishment. He only knew that wars had broken out outside because of this incident, and even the headmaster had died. Shushan was still here at Makabaka.
When the time comes, what will he do as a bare-bones teacher to compete with others?
But Chu Liang was the chief sect after all, and as a sect he had to be controlled by others. Even if he did not have this position, he still had blind trust in Chu Liang's wisdom. For various reasons, he still did not refute.
Huan Leisheng asked helplessly: "Then Mr. Chu, why did you ask me to come?"
"I just want to ask, Mr. Huan, do you have any talismans that can prevent theft?" Chu Liang said.
It turned out that something happened to him in the Yinjian Peak orchard. Previously, he had helped many evil and powerful people to "bury themselves in peace", "sow seeds to pay homage", and "sweep them every day" under the orchard. It was originally a prosperous scene.
But a few days ago, a very bad incident of spiritual plant loss occurred in the orchard. A "Shangqing Sanxuan Spirit Grass" that was about to mature was lost, and Chu Liang was suddenly heartbroken.
This is what he worked so hard to "pay homage to".
Since the development of Hongmian Peak, the first level of the formation on Shushan Mountain has been opened at all times, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. So if there is a theft, there is a high probability that it is a thief.
There were only a few living creatures on Silver Sword Peak, so the first thing he suspected was his master, but he rejected it as soon as he thought about it. If the master wants a spiritual plant, she can just steal it openly, so why should she steal it cautiously?
Next, of course, is the Golden Retriever. This guy recently retired from Hongmian Peak and has nothing serious to do after that. He just spends the whole day playing around with the Baize cubs. If bad water suddenly pops up in the big head, it is very possible to steal a spiritual plant.
Then there is the Fierce Dragon Colt. This wild horse may not have the concept of stealing in its head, but it is not impossible for it to trample a plant when it goes wild and swallow it directly in order to eliminate the evidence of crime.
As for the sisters Liu Xiaoyu and Liu Xiaoyu, they have always been well-behaved and don't seem to be capable of stealing.
Moreover, he originally set up a formation outside the spirit plant, but was brutally knocked away. This method seemed to be done by the beasts above, and was not like the behavior of the two sisters.
After some thought, Chu Liang decided to add some security measures, and then came to ask Huan Leisheng.
"Oh, this is simple." When it came to professionalism, Huan Leisheng became more confident, and he said: "Just slightly modify the walking talisman and bind it with a powerful killing talisman. I can arrange one The talisman array... once the thief touches the spiritual plant, he will be attacked by talismans from all directions..."
Chu Liang nodded repeatedly while listening to his talk.
As soon as Huan Leisheng left, Chu Liang re-maintained the formation, arranged the talisman formation, and then waited for the thief to arrive.
As a result, that night, the talisman array was harvested.
At that time, Chu Liang was holding his breath to practice and comprehend the yin and yang seed. Suddenly I felt something in my heart, it was the Xing Sui Fu that was sensing it, and then I heard an explosion from the orchard.
Bang——
"There's a thief?!" He shouted and immediately burst out of the air.
The one who was faster than him was the Emperor's Daughter Feng. He saw the Master baring his teeth and claws, and a ball of fire swept away. At the same time, he shouted: "Which thief dares to come to my Silver Sword Peak to steal something!"
The master and apprentice arrived one after another and saw a hole in the orchard where the spiritual plants were planted. It was naturally caused by the explosion of the talisman array just now.
The thief had disappeared, leaving only a few strands of black and white hair in place.
The two of them scanned their consciousness and discovered a shadow hidden in the night on the edge of the hillside.
This figure is about half a person tall, short and fat, and carries a small medicine basket on its back. It looks fleshy and round, with black and white hair.
Or a little fat thief?
Chu Liang looked at the back and felt that it looked familiar.
Emperor Daughter Feng was also surprised: "Iron-eating beast?"
good evening.
