In the Faxiang Sect of Immortal City, deep in the Yuntai Cave of Dukong Mountain, there is an evil-refining cauldron enshrined on the bluestone altar. It is stained with rust and the sacred object has been obscured. On this day, a dull echo suddenly sounded in the belly of the tripod, like a cow crowing, a frog croaking, and a few croaks and croaks. The evil spirit slowly rose from the tripod, gathered in one place, and turned into a sluggish and silent Styx. . There was a sound of water, and Tian Sizhong fell out of the Styx River. He staggered, his face was pale, and he was breathing heavily.
Although he escaped from the hands of the enemy, the Styx Dharma has fallen from the seventh level to the third level. Without the four magical powers of "rushing waves to decisively attack", "thousands of miles away", "heaven's heavy water", and "tracing back to the source", Tian Sizhong sat down If the position of the eldest son is not stable, he will be kicked out by his brothers sooner or later. It was bitingly cold in the Yuntai Cave. He shivered, and his mind gradually calmed down. He put away the Styx, picked up a wooden mallet from the altar, hesitated for a moment, knocked three times on the evil refining cauldron, stepped back and knelt down. Fall to the ground.
After a while, Master Tai Yu, the leader of the Faxiang Sect, hurriedly came to Yuntai Cave. Seeing Tian Sizhong in such a mess, his heart sank and he said, "But when you encounter a powerful enemy, you need to use the technique of 'tracing back the source of evil'?"
Tian Sizhong smiled bitterly and said: "Master has a good eye for Dharma. If a disciple does something wrong, not only will he harm Junior Brother Pu, but he will also bring trouble to our sect..."
Master Tai Yu stretched out his hand between his eyebrows, injecting a mass of evil energy into it, and after examining it for a long time, he sighed: "Please tell me carefully, don't hide anything!"
Tian Sizhong knelt in front of the evil-refining cauldron and told him all the ins and outs of his trip. Even his selfish admiration for Huashan Sect Li Xiyi was revealed in no uncertain terms. Master Tai Yu frowned and asked for a few details, then shook his head and said: "This woman is cold-blooded and not your perfect match. She wants to make you stupid, but you are confused and careless!"
Tian Sizhong remained silent, knowing in his heart that what his master said was true, but he still couldn't let go of his thoughts. Looking back on the past, Li Xiyi fulfilled all his promises with red lips and white teeth. However, this time when they went to Youzhou City, they only said that they would adapt to changes and act cheaply, and never promised him to fight the enemy side by side, but he took it for granted. Li Xiyi may not be a temperamental person, and she doesn't look at him differently, but he is not a malicious and irresponsible person.
In Master Tai Yu's mind, Tian Si Zhong is much more important than Pu Taoist. Li Xiyi abandoned him because of his disapproval. He was able to escape from a powerful enemy and was also a lucky person. Fa Xiang Sect flourished. It has to fall on Tian Sizhong. But the Styx Dharma has fallen to the third level. After all, it is too shocking. The eldest son can enter Yuntai Cave to practice, which is the target of public criticism. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be people who covet it, so he must be helped to avoid missing important events. Master Tai Yu made up his mind, took out a square pot with four cranes and lotus from his sleeve, handed it to Tian Sizhong, and said: "There are two evil souls in this pot, although they are somewhat damaged, put them into the evil refining cauldron." After some refinement, the Dharma can be upgraded to the fifth level. You can practice in Yuntai Cave with peace of mind. If Teng Chuxiu is not safe, I will send someone else to help."
Master Tai Yu said this and walked away. Tian Sizhong thanked his master for protecting him and stopped thinking for a moment. He drew out the evil spirit from the square pot with four cranes stepping on the lotus, put it into the evil refining cauldron, and activated it with the secret method passed down by his master. The treasure tripod cleanses evil souls and ignores foreign affairs.
Suddenly, a few months passed, and Tian Sizhong's work was completed. He upgraded the Styx Dharma to the fifth level, and regained the two magical powers of "Chongbo Judang" and "So close to the end of the world". He came out of Yuntai Cave and wanted to go to the outside world to seek opportunities. Master Tai Yu gave a few words of warning and gave the disciple a square pot with four cranes and lotus. This pot was a treasure he had obtained from an ancient tomb thousands of years ago. It was very useful in capturing evil spirits, and Tian Sizhong came in handy.
Tian Sizhong said goodbye to his master and hesitated for a moment. Instead of going to Huashan Sect to look for Li Xiyi, he went straight to the Xianwu Palace and went from the teleportation array to the Nine-fold Valley of the Outer Territory. He first went to visit Teng Chuxiu, the leader of the Chongyun Sect, and then returned to the headquarters of the Faxiang Sect. He found a few junior brothers and asked about the recent battle situation. He learned that there were more and more big demons practicing the secret art of blood and energy, and it was becoming more and more difficult. , the human race was at a disadvantage, suffering heavy casualties and often not even being able to retrieve the bones, and being eaten alive by the opponent.
Tian Sizhong felt vaguely uneasy, but the stronger the blood energy of the monster, the greater the possibility of giving birth to evil souls, which was a good thing for the Faxiang Sect. He urgently needed to upgrade the Styx Dharma to the seventh level and practice the ability of "tracing back to the source and returning evil spirits" Magical power, the battle between humans and monsters is extremely fierce, and a little carelessness can lead to death without a burial place. It is crucial to have an extra means to save life.
The defense line of the human monks gradually retreated, and the closest point was only a thousand miles away from the Jiuzhe Valley. Tian Sizhong carefully avoided the ten demon generals of the Vajra Sect and headed southwest, searching for the whereabouts of the big demon along the way. He would spy on the prey before taking action. He would rather miss it. , don’t take risks. This hunting trip lasted for more than a hundred days, and I killed several big demons one after another. I only gained some evil spirits, but not the evil souls.
Tian Sizhong returned to Jiuzhe Valley, handed over the body of the great demon to Junior Brother Hou Yihou, and returned it in exchange for some elixirs and spiritual beads. Faxiang Sect's skills are unique, and there is not much demand for elixirs and spirit beads, and few people would put their minds on refining elixirs and refining weapons. The elixirs and spirit beads obtained in exchange are similar to the money circulating in the mortal market, and most of them are similar to other coins. Monks make deals. There are three kinds of elixirs used for trading: Hunyuan Dan, Zhongyu Dan, and Xiantian Dan. There are five kinds of spiritual beads: Ganjin Pearl, Qingxun Pearl, Lishuizhu, Bingling Pearl, and Kuntu Pearl. The elixir Peiyuangu is Originally, the spirit beads strengthened the spiritual energy, and they would not suffer any loss if they were kept in their hands. They could also be given to juniors.
Naturally, the junior disciple did not dare to neglect the eldest son's instructions. Without any delay, Hou Yi handed over a bag of elixirs and spiritual beads to Tian Sizhong. Seeing that they were inseparable, Tian Sizhong casually threw a bottle of Hunyuan Pill into his hand, taking it as the income from running errands. Hou Yi left happily, secretly glad that he became familiar with his senior brother, and he could ask for advice if he had the opportunity in the future.
Tian Sizhong returned to his residence, closed the door, took out the "Play in a Pot" from his bag, tilted the mother tin pot, poured out a mirage, and transformed into a three-foot-tall female musician. While drinking, he enjoyed singing and dancing, killing The violence gradually receded, and the mood returned to peace. It's just that without Junior Brother Pu's wine gourd to cheer him up, something is missing after all. Tian Sizhong feels guilty for him, but death is like a lamp going out, even if he feels guilty, it will not help.
At this moment, Tian Sizhong felt extremely lonely.
Glass after glass of strong liquor flowed down his throat and into his belly. He did not deliberately dispel his drunkenness and allowed the alcohol to surge up. He was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. His eyes suddenly sobered up and swayed slightly. The evil spirit and drunkenness are gone. Junior Brother Hou knocked on the door gently and called, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister Li of the Huashan Sect is here to visit and wants to see you."
"Which Senior Sister Li? Li Xiyi?"
"yes."
Tian Sizhong pondered for a moment, put away the "play in the pot", and opened the wooden door. Seeing that Hou Yi couldn't contain his excitement, he obviously regarded Li Xiyi's visit as a matter of honor. Looking from a distance, he saw Li Xiyi standing pretty at the foot of the cliff, with a cold face, repelling people thousands of miles away. Tian Sizhong gave her a slight nod, and stepped forward to meet her for a while to see what she had to say.
