Qingyun Back Mountain Huanyue Cave Mansion
Behind the bushes of the ancient trees in the cave, a line of black light landed on the ground, and after the light dissipated, Zhang Xiaofan's figure was revealed. He stood in front of the Qingyun Forbidden Land, but walked over without any hesitation. Not far away, an ordinary-looking stone cave appeared in front of him. The familiar Tai Chi diagram was clearly outlined on it. Zhang Xiaofan walked over and put his hand on it. Suddenly the pattern shone brightly and gave off a faint brilliance. The mountain wall next to it was like a Just like in the memory, it slowly moved away to reveal a stone door.
The deep mist swirled and floated behind the door, full of unknown mysterious power. Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath. Although he had experienced all kinds of hardships in the mist before, he was still a little repelled or afraid of it in his heart. Even so, he walked in firmly without hesitation and never looked back. Waves of mist rolling like water rushed to swallow his figure. The thick fog obscured Zhang Xiaofan's eyes. Behind him, the stone door slowly closed.
Boundless darkness and death-like silence enveloped him, but he didn't pause at all. He looked at the unknown place ahead, his eyes calm and calm, and still walked forward. Fragments of burning sensation splashed onto his face, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he slowly closed his eyes. The fiery energy burst out at a certain moment.
In the sea of fire, he could clearly feel the tongues of fire licking his body, and every part of his skin was burning, as if the flames on all sides were laughing wildly, waiting for his destruction. Severe pain traveled through every part of his body, so painful that he felt like he would turn into a pile of ashes the next moment!
The flames are burning like crazy! Is it almost over? He thought so, and the flames rushed towards him, biting desperately and burning crazily. It hurt, it hurt to the extreme. He closed his eyes and felt darkness in front of him, but there seemed to be a warm and bright thread in his heart pulling him, illuminating the darkness of nothingness. Feeling this way, a calm smile appeared on his lips.
The sound of the flames burning became louder and louder, and even the air around the body seemed to be filled with a terrifying smell of anxiety. The pain in the body continued to increase, and it seemed that every step he took would have to endure tens of millions of times more pain. However, his footsteps still did not stop, walking forward slowly but firmly. At some point, the violent sea of flames that he felt slowly receded. Around him, there was once again a vast and empty silence, and the pain in his body also disappeared.
Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and slowly continued walking forward, closing his eyes tightly! One step after another, never stopping, just like life, moving forward slowly, after all, you can't look back. He slowly opened his eyes. Not far ahead, there was an altar with a dark gray boulder as its seat. There were steps on all sides, seven levels up and down. There were seven huge pillars on top of the altar, divided into seven colors, and each pillar was several times tall. It is ten feet long, and it takes three people to encircle it. On top of this altar, ordinary people look as small as ants. In the center of the altar, there is also an ancient tripod with a crude form.
He walked forward and came to the cauldron, stroking the ancient lines on it. He turned around and saw where he came from just now. There was a stone door standing tall. Different from the surrounding scenery, the stone door was one foot high and six feet wide. , it was dark. Looking from a distance, it seemed that one could still vaguely see the swirling mist of water waves. It seemed that the passage was not long.
He sighed softly, mobilized the true energy in his body, crossed his hands, and then spread them out. An ancient sword that looked like stone but not stone, like jade but not jade, with a clumsy form appeared in his hand. "Zhu Xian", the magic weapon of Qingyun Sect, can only be controlled by himself. The magic weapon with the power to destroy heaven and earth is suspended in front of him at this moment.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at "Zhu Xian" and remembered that Baguio and Tian Buyi both died under this sword, and suddenly felt a sigh of relief in his heart. "Why did you come here?" "I thought I should come, so I came." His mind recalled the conversation he had with Master Daoxuan here.
"Don't you want to avenge your master?" "Still. Are you afraid?" Of course he wants to do this, but even if he can kill Daoxuan, his master will not be resurrected, and his life is coming to an end soon. Zhang Xiaofan felt pain in his heart, "Zhu Xian" sensed Zhang Xiaofan's reaction, and the sword glowed slightly with seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.
Zhang Xiaofan noticed the changes in "Zhu Xian" and raised his hand to stroke the sword. The crack made by the Soul Devourer was long gone. He said: "Okay, it's time to return to where you belong." The next moment, " "Zhu Xian" reluctantly circled around Zhang Xiaofan a few times, then flew to the top of the ancient cauldron and slowly inserted the sword into the cauldron with the hilt up and the sword body down.
After Zhang Xiaofan sent "Zhu Xian" back, he turned around and walked towards the exit with a faint smile on his face.
Ancestral Hall
Although it is still daytime, in the secluded Patriarch's Ancestral Hall on the back mountain of Tongtian Peak, the ever-burning lamp is still burning, like a ghostly fire. Lin Jingyu, who is guarding the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall, is currently standing in front of the altar table dedicated to the ancestors of Qingyun Sect. , staring at the names on the tablet.
There was a low hum of insects outside the house. In the silence, there seems to be some heartbeat sound! The breeze blew, and the flame of the ever-burning lamp swayed, shaking as if gasping for breath. He walked to the lamp and gently blocked the direction of the wind with his hand. Soon, the lamp became quiet and began to burn steadily again. Lin Jingyu stared deeply at this light. The light reflected in his eyes seemed to be burning something.
Suddenly there were footsteps, and he turned around slowly and said slowly: "Why are you here?" Zhang Xiaofan walked into the ancestral hall and said with a smile: "I just wanted to see how you are doing." He came He picked up three sticks of fine incense on the altar table, walked to the candlelight and lit it. He held it solemnly with both hands, bowed respectfully three times to the ancestor's tablet, then took a step forward and inserted the fine incense stick in the incense burner. middle.
The faint smoke curled up from the incense burner and dispersed in the air, making the spiritual figures in front of them even more hazy, vaguely like a pair of eyes looking coldly at the world.
"It seems that there will be another bloody battle waiting for us soon." Zhang Xiaofan stared at the majestic spiritual figures behind the light smoke and said lightly. Lin Jingyu snorted and said: "I hope I can come earlier, so You can completely eliminate these evil evil ways at once!"
"Have you put it back?" Lin Jingyu asked Zhang Xiaofan. He nodded. Lin Jingyu continued: "Actually, you don't have to put it back. No one can use it except you anyway." Zhang Xiaofan said: " I won’t use it easily unless it’s absolutely necessary, and besides…” He joked: “The burden on me becomes even heavier when I carry this sword.”
Lin Jingyu didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiaofan's joke. He just smiled lightly. Then, he made a request to Zhang Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, can you compete with me?" "Why?" Lin Jingyu said: "In the Qingyun Sect, you have the highest skill. I originally thought I could compete with you in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, but you didn't participate. I've been waiting. Although I can't beat you, but I also want to have a fair fight with you!"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said: "You are still the same as before, always refusing to admit defeat. You have been like this since you were a child. Since you said so, I will have a good fight with you." After saying this, the two of them walked out of the house together.
