The cave was getting wetter and wet, and the torch was about to fade, and water droplets dripped from the top of the head at all times. When we arrived at the corner, we suddenly heard the sound of "slaughter". Xu Xuan was startled and before he could dodge, a large group of bats had already bumped into each other. Several of them were swept by flames and screamed and thrust around.

While waving the torch and driving the bats, he walked sideways. He had just walked a few steps, and tripped down and fell to the ground. He looked up and screamed in a panic, and quickly turned over to avoid it.

A few feet away, a white skeleton was sitting cross-legged, her clothes were torn to pieces, and a delicate green jade Ruyi hung on the neck bone; she held a bronze sword with an ancient shape in her right hand, with green rust, and shining with dazzling green light under the light of the fire.

Xu Xuan looked in the direction opposite the skeleton eye socket, and more than a dozen lines of beautiful big words were carved on the stone wall on the right, and whispered:

Who remembers the grand events of the Southern Dynasty? The mountains surround the homeland and the Qing River, the hair is facing each other, the wrath is lonely, the waves are lonely, and the wind and wind are spreading across the sky.

The cliff trees are still leaning against each other; don’t worry about the boats being tied. The old traces are lush and the fog is half-stacked. The moon passes the woman’s wall late at night, and I look at the Huai River sadly.

The wine flags and drums are so popular in the city? I want to vaguely think that Wang Xie’s neighbors are in the neighborhood. The swallows don’t know where they go, but they often go alleys and strangers’ houses, and they are like the rise and fall of the sun.

He has always liked to be sensual, and is good at music. After reading a few sentences, he remembered that this poem was "Xihe" written by Huizong in response to Zhou Bangyan. He couldn't help but hum it softly. He felt strange in his heart, wondering who this skeleton was? Look at his broken red dress, which seemed to be a firework woman, why did she die in this Emei Cave with an ancient sword? Why did she engrave this poem on the wall when she was dying?

Xu Xuan looked at the skeleton intently and felt even more surprised. The jade hanging on the skeleton Ruyi is round and clear, bright green like spring water. Not to mention the women of the wind and dust, even if they are rich and noble, they may not be able to have it. He couldn't help but be curious and took off Ruyi and played with it. He saw more than a dozen small characters on the bottom:

"Remember last year, facing the east wind, I promised to live up to the wishes of orioles and flowers."

This sentence is quite strange and I can't remember anyone's writing for a moment.

He thought to himself: "God made me accidentally, and encountering this skeleton may have a different meaning." He put away Yu Ruyi, bowed to the skeleton, and said: "I offended! If Xu Xuan found out about the girl's life experience in the future, he would definitely use this Yu Ruyi as a token and let your family come here to bury the fragrant bones." Bypassing the skeleton and continuing to walk upwards.

After walking for two more incense sticks, the torch flame gradually became smaller and narrower, but the entrance was never seen. Xu Xuan felt anxious and suddenly saw the moss on the ground and the puddles were winding. He listened to the sound of gurgling water in the distance.

He was overjoyed. Since water flowed into this place, there must be an outlet. He followed the sound of water and walked quickly.

After walking upwards for more than two hundred steps, a voice suddenly came from above: "Ge, God is not good. After a day and a night of heavy rain, the fragrance of mother and child was washed away. I don't know where the little girl hid with her bastard. It's really hard to find his grandmother... Mount Emei is so big, can we dig three feet into the ground and turn it over?"

Xu Xuan was ruthless: "Are he talking about us?" He hurriedly blew out the torch and listened intently.

Another thick voice said: "That girl was injured by the demon queen's 'Nine-Turn Ice Arrow' and was hit by the 'Fei Ying Sword Shadow' of the head master. She must not run far. We have our eyeliners in and outside the mountains. How long can she hide? I'm not afraid of her escaping, but don't let the Demon Sect and other ungrateful wolves take the lead."

Xu Xuan was shocked. He had heard Cheng Zhongfu say that "Feiying Sword Shadow" is the murderous sword of Liao Ruowu, the "Feiying Sanren" in Qingcheng Mountain. Although Liao Ruowu and Cheng Zhongfu's master Xu Guanchan were called "Qingcheng Nine Sword Immortals", his sword skills were even higher than the latter, ranking fourth among the nine major sword sects in Qingcheng.

These two people call them "the head masters" and they must be disciples of the "Flying Sword Sect" in Qingcheng.

But why did the Qingcheng sects not save themselves and instead sniped the woman in white and put her to death? Is it true that the Taoist sects do not care about the friendship between their fellow disciples and the blessings of the people. They only fight for profit, but also want to rob the "living treasure book" of the Demon Emperor?

The first voice laughed and said, "Second Brother Second is right. The most hateful thing this time is the bald donkey in Mount Emei. His grandmother and the demons from Java have all come here. These grandsons are good. Not only do they not kill the demons, they also close the mountain gate and cry and pretend to be deaf and dumb, which clearly makes us fight against the demons and both sides."

The "Second Brother" sneered: "Sixth Junior Brother, you are very wrong. What we should be careful about is not Emei Bald Donkey, nor the Demon Sect monster, but the turtle son of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. The Demon Sect monster thieves want to save Lin Lingsu, which is understandable; Emei Bald Donkey does not practice the secret method of our Taoist sect, and it is useless to get the Demon Emperor. However, these turtle sons from Longhu Mountain are all alone, for fear that we will be robbed first, so they actually colluded with the Emei Bald Donkey, which will make us one step late. Ge, otherwise, the moon will be the first to get close to the water. Not to mention those two stinky ladies, even if they are Old Taoist Ge, wouldn't they have already been in our hands?"

The "Sixth Junior Brother" spat hatefully, "These turtle sons who killed thousands of swords know how to fight in the nest! However, second senior brother, how can the master be sure that Lin Lingsu's turtle son is on the white-clothed women? What if the little girl in green is running away? Let's wait for the white-clothed women, wouldn't it be a waste of Zhulan to get the water?"

"Second Brother" said: "Since Old Man Ge has possessed the stinky brat, he must have taken the 'Qiankun Yuanqi Pot'. Besides, the white-clothed ladies are better than the green-clothed ladies. As the saying goes, "Beauties think they are fat, and the bodyguards are strong," is absolutely impossible to be wrong."

Xu Xuan's heart was shocked and happy: "Did Miss Xiaoqing and Miss Li escape?" He was energetic and continued to listen. After a while, he finally understood the whole story of the matter.

It turns out that although the nine sword sects in Qingcheng Mountain are known as the four Taoist sects in the world, they have been fighting openly and secretly.

Over the past few decades, the Maoshan and Gezao sects have gradually declined, and the Taoist sect has gradually formed a situation where the Tianshi Dao of Longhu Mountain and the nine major sects in Qingcheng compete for hegemony.

The Dragon and Tiger Sect originally evolved from the Five Dogs of Rice Road in Zhangling, the Eastern Han Dynasty. It swept the world from Heming Mountain in Sichuan. Although it has been a thousand years apart, it still has its remaining power in Bashu and other places.

In order to suppress the Qingcheng Sect, the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master Zhang Shouzhen and Emei Seventy-Two Temples were repaired, and they also sent their eldest disciple Zhang Yuanting to establish a Taoist temple in Chengdu, and only recruit disciples, and directly inserted their forces into Shu.

Master Mingkong in Mount Emei was old. That night, after joining forces with Ge Changgeng to suppress the Demon Emperor, his true energy was greatly damaged and he passed away soon.

One of the seventy-two temples in Emei took off his anger Ge Changgeng, and the other was coveting the secret techniques of the sects stolen by Lin Lingsu, but he did not dare to disobey Mingkong's last wishes. He openly faced Ge Changgeng and robbed Qiankun Yuanqi Pot. So Mingxin trapped Ge Changgen and used chess as a bet. On the other hand, he deliberately leaked the news and attracted fire from the Taoist demon sects.

Zhang Yuanting got the tips from the Emei sects early and led the Dragon and Tiger Sect to arrive as soon as possible. The Qingcheng sects not far from Emei were a day later before they heard the news. When Qingcheng, Maoshan and Gezao sects arrived, the Dragon and Tiger Sect had already taken the lead and took advantage of the favorable terrain.

Last night, when the demons in the Demon Sect besieged Ge Changgeng, the Dragon and Tiger Sect set up ambush around the main peak early, and waited for the people in the Demon Sect to steal the Demon Emperor, and then a mantis stalked the cicada.

Since the Qingcheng and Maoshan sects lost the opportunity, they simply disrupted the overall situation and took advantage of the chaos of waters. While the Dragon and Tiger Sect and the Demon Sect were competing to chase Ge Changgeng's body, they suddenly entered the sword and fought in a melee.

At the same time, Ge Changgeng and others broke through blood escape, and were attacked by the demon queen in the Demon Sect, and their souls were severely injured. In order to cover Xu Xuan and others to escape, Ge Changgeng did not hesitate to fight the demon queen with the Li Qiao Yuan Shen, and finally fought to death, killing the demon queen and seriously injured it.

After the demons of the Taoist sect and the demons discovered that they had fallen into the trap, they immediately turned back to pursue Ge Changgeng and his ranks.

The woman in white took Xu Xuan to the east to break through, while Xiaoqing led Li Qiuqing to the west. After several hard battles, the woman in white was seriously injured and finally protected Xu Xuan, avoided the Demon Sect and the Taoist Sect's pursuit and escaped into the secret cave.

The Demon Sect and the Taoist Sect were eager to find people. They stopped fighting and divided the lands and searched carefully. The cave where the woman in white and Xu Xuan was hiding was just on the top of the mountain where various factions in Qingcheng were robbed.

Xu Xuan thought to himself: "It turns out that she was injured to protect me. If she escaped alone, I'm afraid she's already out of Emei at this moment!" Surprise, gratitude, shame, joy, pity... all came to my heart, stood beside me, and I was filled with mixed feelings.

The two people above said less and less, and their steps were getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared inaudible.

Xu Xuan calmed down, carried herbs on his back, and walked up to the wall carefully. After a while, he finally arrived at the entrance of the cave. It turned out that the other end of the cave was hidden between the stone walls of mountain springs, with rocks piled up and bushes growing, which was extremely secret.

He walked out of the cave entrance, looked around, and soon found the location. The wind and rain had gradually become smaller, and through the lingering clouds, he could clearly see the mountain where the woman in white was hiding. At this time, he knew that the various sects of the sect were lurking around and regarded them as enemies, and he did not dare to be careless at all. While exploring the surroundings, he ran carefully.

He had a strong sense of direction, strong true energy, clear night vision, and mastered the key to lifting energy and running around. The return journey was much faster than when he came. In just a quarter of an hour, he had returned to the cave where White Snake was hiding. The complacent joy in his heart was difficult to describe.

It was still more than ten feet away from the cave, and I saw a faint fire reflected by the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, which was light and dark.

Xu Xuan was very clever and felt a stern: Before he left the cave, he had already turned out the fire slit, so how could there be a fire in the cave?" So he took his breath and walked around the left side of the cave entrance.
