Yunyang Mansion is located in the southeast of the Dachen Empire. The terrain in the mansion is open and fertile. To the south is Mount Taihe, which towers into the clouds and is majestic. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. From a distance, Mount Taihe is half-hidden and half-revealed floating in the sea of clouds and mist. , magnificent.
The mountains are covered with lush trees, ancient vines twine around strange pines on the cliffs, white cranes and elk leap in the mountain streams, and among the misty clouds and pines, there is a hidden waterfall, flowing down like a white horse, with tumbling water. The air is misty and pearls are flying everywhere. The water from the waterfall pours into the small lake at the foot of the mountain. The water is clear and green, and it looks like a mirror when viewed from the mountain.
In this fairyland-like Taihe Mountain, there is hidden a world-famous spiritual sect - Zhenwu Sect. The Zhenwu Sect of Taihe Mountain was a holy place for spiritual practice during the Daliang period of the previous dynasty!
Meng Xinghe, the leader of the Zhenwu Sect, is a rare master in the world and one of the four great masters in the world. His own cultivation is unfathomable. When Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Chen Empire, raised an army to resist Baoliang and competed with all the heroes in the world, Zhenwu Zong helped with a large amount of food and supplies and also sent his disciples to fight bravely to fully support the rebel army of Zhao Zhen and Li Xingzhi. After overthrowing Daliang and the new emperor ascending the throne, Emperor Chen was grateful for Zhenwu Zong's support and exempted the Yunyang Mansion from money and grain taxes for three years. At the end of that year, Emperor Chen summoned Zhenwu Zong's leader to Beijing to celebrate the Wanshou Festival. The leader Meng Xinghe recommended Ying declined. So far, many officials and officials in the Chen Dynasty have entered the Zhenwu Sect, and talented young people among the people are even more honored to be able to enter the Zhenwu Sect.
At the foot of the mountain, beside the lake, is a sea of bamboo. Various kinds of bamboos, such as Xiangfei bamboo, Luohan bamboo, and Nanzhu, are crowded and lively. The wind beside the lake is blowing wetly with mist, and the dense bamboo forest is swaying in the wind, making rustling sounds. There was a crashing sound, and there was the fragrance of bamboo leaves mixed with tea leaves in the air.
In Zhenwuzong's Bamboo Sea Lodge, Huang Zonghai sat among the dancing bamboo shadows, with a low table in front of him, on which were placed a clay stove, tea tripod, tea pot and other utensils.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, squinting his eyes in the dense water vapor and savoring the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth. The tea leaves in the white jade-like porcelain cup were slender, round and straight, with tall and sharp edges, shaped like eyebrows. The color of the tea was emerald green and the aroma was fresh and tender. Long-lasting, but the best Laojun eyebrow tea.
Huang Zonghai looked satisfied and chanted casually: "The tea pot turns into milk and the soup flows, and the fragrant seal hangs in the clouds and floats in the sun. Another year has passed in the mountains. You should know that the sentence is better than the title of a marquis!"
He retreated three years ago and successfully broke through the retreat not long ago. He is the ninth member of the Zhenwu Sect to reach the realm of the true self and be promoted to elder.
When he reaches this state, his thoughts are open-minded, and mundane things no longer linger in his mind. He is among the mountains and rivers, accompanied by the breeze and the bright moon, drinking tea, listening to the snow, looking at the sun, moon and stars, feeling the vitality of heaven and earth, and slowly consolidating his own state.
Huang Zonghai closed his eyes, relaxed his body and mind and took in the world. Sitting in the Bamboo Sea Lodge by the lake, he could clearly see three eagle eggs lying quietly in an eagle's nest on the steep rock wall of Taihe Mountain. , one of them made an inaudible sound of shell pecking, cracks appeared on the surface of the smooth eagle egg, and then a small hole was broken. The little life inside pecked the shell harder, and slowly poked out a sharp black beak from the hole. …
There was an emerald-green screech crawling on the long grass in the mountain stream. Several short wings on its back flapped and rubbed at high speed, making a sweet and clear sound. Suddenly, its two hind legs kicked off and jumped into the grass next to it. The long grass swayed with its long black neck. The white crane with its beak flew by, pecking at the song katydids in the grass, fluttering its wings and flying away...
A spotted spider fell from a thick bamboo in the bamboo forest. The spider dragged a long thread as thin as a hair and fluttered in the wind. Above it, the half-repaired spider web was torn open by the wind, and the spider squirmed in the air. A spotted-headed kingfisher flew past, pecked the spider and flew deep into the bamboo forest...
The green lake water was rippling, and a grass carp emerged from the water with its tail shaking, stretched out its head and spit out a string of bubbles, and then plunged into the water. Deep in the water, a turtle had been dormant for a long time. It stretched out its neck like lightning, and bit the grass carp's abdomen with the sharp teeth in its mouth. A streak of blood appeared in the splashing water, and the water slowly calmed down...
Two red dragonflies chased and danced, and the slender tail of one dragonfly hurried a little on the smooth mirror-like lake, causing a circle of ripples on the lake surface...
Huang Zonghai opened his eyes as if feeling something, and stared at the ripples on the lake, with a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Xiaojing Lake at the foot of Mount Taihe is not only the most beautiful of the many scenery in Mount Taihe, but also one of the important barriers for the Zhenwu Sect's protective sect formation, the Crane Wings and Skip Formation.
He just caught a faint breath, and this vague breath also gave him a familiar feeling...
Huang Zonghai twisted his beard and frowned, his face became solemn, he lightly relaxed his sleeves, spread his palms, and stretched out two fingers towards the calm lake.
The fingertips suddenly glow with white brilliance, the brilliance flashes, the bamboo forest rustles, and there is no wind. The lake surface was no longer calm, like a mirror that had been suddenly shattered. The green lake water began to surge. The center of the lake was like boiling water, and the lake surface instantly turned dark green...
Huang Zonghai's heart was shocked - there was a mysterious master breaking into the mountain and breaking the formation. At the same time, he felt the aura again. This time he could clearly feel that it was an existence with terrifying strength. His cultivation level was even far above his own. It seemed that Or come for yourself...
He couldn't help but stand up, and the turbulent lake slowly returned to calm. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but in the end he smiled slightly and calmed down.
For hundreds of years, the Zhenwu Sect has been able to stand firm. In addition to the emergence of strong men in the sect, the Zhenwu Sect's protective sect formation, the Crane Wing Skip Formation, is exquisite and extremely powerful in offense and defense. Even the top masters in the world have difficulty breaking it, let alone , ever since the sect leader Meng Xinghe stepped into the master realm, it has been difficult for him to find an opponent in this world.
Huang Zonghai really couldn't think of anyone else in this world, except for those few people, who would have the courage to break into the Zhenwu Sect's crane-winged dustpan-shaped mountain-protecting formation?
He Kui was standing in Taihe Mountain. He was in a narrow mountain stream at the moment. The Zhenwu Sect's mountain-protecting formation in front of him was indeed exquisite. It was a little more troublesome than he expected. More importantly, Huang Zonghai by Xiaojing Lake should have sensed it. Knowing his own existence, if he breaks the formation with all his strength, it will alert the eyes of the formation. Once other strong men of the Zhenwu Sect are attracted, it will inevitably cost a lot of trouble.
While he was thinking, he secretly observed the crane-wing basket-shaped formation. This formation used Taihe Mountain and Xiaojing Lake as a barrier to firmly protect the Zhenwuzong Mountain Gate Hall at its core. Surrounded by undulating mountains, it formed crane wings, covering Xiaojing Lake's water bamboos. The sea is in the shape of a skip, which is a mystery that conquers the heaven and earth, and invades the sun and moon.
However, the formations in the world are all divided into eight gates: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai according to Dunjia. They can be varied in many ways. They are also divided into Bagua directions such as Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, and Gen. layout.
He Kui is already a peerless strong man in the world. He has devoted himself to practice for more than ten years and has dabbled in the martial arts, practices, and techniques of all major sects in the world, including Taoism and Buddhism.
One method can be used to master all methods. He already has a lot of research on the way of fighting. After spending about half a stick of incense, he has already understood the key points of the Zhenwu Sect's crane-winged dustpan-shaped mountain-protecting formation.
He immediately restrained his breath and entered the formation along the "Sheng" Gate. Stepping on the threshold and leaving the direction, he slowly escaped to the "Jing" Gate, and then turned to the Zhen and Xun directions. Unexpectedly, the formation's eyes were not alarmed at all. Accurately pointing to the direction of Xiaojing Lake, he walked quietly towards Huang Zonghai.
Huang Zonghai felt the strong aura suddenly disappear, and was secretly surprised when he suddenly saw a person appearing on the other side of Xiaojing Lake, slowly walking towards him.
The man walked very strangely. He first leaned forward and took a step forward with his right leg, then dragged his left leg to stand up straight. Then he repeated this action, step by step, moving slowly... Every time he took a step, he dragged his left leg to stand up straight. He rubbed his residual leg on the ground, like a plow, drawing a long drag mark on the grass by the lake...
The man walked slowly with his head lowered, his long hair hanging down to cover half of his face. When he walked to the lake, he stepped onto the lake without any hesitation.
One of his feet stepped on the lake, very gently, and the gentle lake water did not even create a ripple...
He still repeated the weird walking posture just now, leaning forward, taking a step forward with his right leg, and then dragging his left leg to stand upright. Walking on the lake felt like walking on a huge mirror. When he dragged his remaining leg across the lake, it was like a crack had been cut into the mirror. As he stood up straight, the mirror slowly restored its shape. .
The sky is blue, with a few white clouds. The clear lake surface reflects the sky and his figure. He walks on it, as if he is walking in the sky, stepping on the clouds. The vast lake surface makes his figure smaller and smaller. Time cannot distinguish between heaven and earth, and it seems that he is the only one left between heaven and earth, walking alone...
Huang Zonghai looked at the figure of the visitor and felt that it was extremely familiar. This man was able to ignore the barrier of the crane-winged basket-shaped formation and appeared here quietly. He was obviously here for himself.
Although his aura was restrained, he was walking on Xiaojing Lake as if he were flying across the sky, walking on the ground in a way that subverted worldly knowledge and violated the principles of the world. Although the picture looked indescribably weird, this man's His cultivation is really shocking in the past and today.
Huang Zonghai believed that with his True Self Realm strength, he could even climb across the water and walk across Xiaojing Lake, but it was a shame to see someone who could restrain his breath and walk so freely and freely with his broken body. .
The visitor slowly approached, lifted his long hair out of his eyes, revealing a pair of melancholy eyes and a long and narrow scar on his cheek. Huang Zonghai was shocked when he saw his face clearly.
"Bai Xiangshou?! The person coming turned out to be Bai Xiangshou who has disappeared for many years!"
"Brother Zong Hai, after so many years of separation, how are you here?" He Kui slowly walked ashore, his boots were not wet, and he held his hands to Huang Zonghai.
Huang Zonghai said with emotion: "Brother Bai! I didn't expect it was really you! You have disappeared for more than ten years. Over the years, the master has sent people to our Zhenwu Sect many times to inquire about you. Some people have rumored that you have gone to a remote place in the far west. I competed with Buddhist masters in martial arts. Some people said that when Qinzhou fell into the city, you fought and died to protect the eldest prince. My brother was very sad when he heard the bad news... I didn’t expect that you are still alive! Where have you been all these years? "
He Kui, whose real name is Bai Xiangshou, is the second disciple of Li Xingzhi, the Grand Master of the Chen Empire. He is extremely talented and arrogant, and everyone in the world considers him to be the first person under the Grand Master.
Bai Xiangshou was silent, and he clasped his fists at Huang Zonghai and said, "The past is over. Thank you, Brother Zonghai, for caring about me! These past ten years... it's really hard to describe in words!"
Huang Zonghai looked at Bai Xiangshou and asked with concern: "Brother Bai, your legs... and the stab wounds on your face? I really can't think of anyone else in this world who can hurt you? Come to me , it must be something big, just tell me, as long as Huang can do it, he is bound to do it!"
Bai Xiangshou gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Happy!" Then he stared at Huang Zonghai's face with burning eyes and said: "I remember when I saved your life, you once said that as long as you ask for it, you will live or die. Repay each other!"
Huang Zonghai said solemnly: "That's right! If Brother Bai wants to take my life, go ahead and take it. Huang is willing to tie his hands and hold his neck!"
Bai Xiangshou said in a deep voice: "I don't want your life either, I only want one thing from you!"
Huang Zonghai asked curiously: "What do you need? Brother Bai, it's okay to just say it!"
Bai Xiangshou said: "I want to borrow the Zhenwu Heart Sutra to have a look!"
Huang Zonghai was stunned and shocked...
