Xu Ziling, dressed as Yue Shan, swaggered onto the mountain road to the temple with his hands behind his back.
The narrow road suddenly opened up, and under the setting sun, a mountain stream meandered and gurgled through dense and tall nan forests. The most moving part was that there were three clever wooden bridges with different shapes between the trees, each leaning against each other.
One corner forms a triangular bridge space covering the only forest path leading to the temple.
Xu Ziling is now at least half an expert in architecture. He appreciates it and knows that this must be the design of a master.
He had long forgotten about the danger he was about to encounter - he was wandering along the forest roads and bridges in a leisurely mood of seeking secluded places.
As soon as the mountain road turns, another pavilion suddenly appears in front of it, built on the edge of the cliff. The vast and endless space outside the mountain and the majestic beauty of the sunset make people's mind expand from the deep to a realm that seems to be parallel to the universe.
Xu Ziling was so shocked by the drastic change that he stood in the pavilion for a while before gathering his mood and continuing to climb the mountain.
The mountain road goes diagonally deep into the mountain, passes through another dense forest, and then leads to nearly a hundred stone steps leading directly to the temple gate.
This ancient temple with no name is located on a hillside on a slope. The stone steps have been damaged and cracked, and the weeds are overgrown. It seems that it has been abandoned for a period of time, giving it an eerie feeling in the darkness of dusk.
Xu Ziling took a deep breath and climbed up the steps.
The appearance of these four evil men made him deeply realize the meaning of these two sentences: "There are people outside the world and there is heaven outside."
It also gave him a refreshing feeling.
In the future, it would be very interesting to travel around the world to expand my knowledge and encounter strange people and strangers, which would make life more colorful.
If he hadn't chosen a remote wilderness for this trip, he wouldn't have had such an exciting and unique encounter.
He was not too worried about Shi Qingxuan. Since she dared to use the sound of the flute to provoke these four murderous men, she was more or less sure that she would be able to deal with them. Otherwise, if she fell into the hands of any one of them, life would be worse than death.
The stone steps ended at the bottom of the temple, and the open temple door was dark and smelled of decay.
Xu Ziling crossed the threshold and entered the temple without any hesitation.
The lights suddenly turned on.
When Xu Ziling concentrated his attention, he saw a long-slung woman with her back to him, lighting an oil lamp on the Buddhist altar dedicated to the Bodhisattva.
The broken and peeling Buddha statues were covered in dust, creating an atmosphere of depression and loneliness.
Xu Ziling glanced around and wondered why You Niaojuan and the others were missing. Shi Qingxuan's clear and sweet voice sounded softly in his ears: "Which senior is this master?"
Xu Ziling saw that she was still looking at him with her jade back facing him and said calmly: "Can you tell who I am when you turn around?"
Shi Qingxuan said softly: Although the senior has excellent martial arts skills, he is not the person I am waiting for. If you just happen to pass by and hear the sound of the flute, I should advise the senior to stay away immediately, otherwise you will be involved in unnecessary grievances.
Xu Ziling smiled strangely and said: I don't believe in evil, so I want to watch from the sidelines. The girl doesn't need to care about my life or death.
Then he went to the corner near the door and sat against the wall.
Shi Qingxuan still had her back to the door, staring at the beating fire on the lamp wick. Her upper body seemed to melt into the light of the oil lamp. It not only emphasized her softness and softness like a cloud, but also made her sharp shoulders more graceful and graceful.
.
Just her slim back makes people feel her mysterious and mysterious beauty.
She never turned around and sighed quietly. It seemed that she was no longer interested in caring about Xu Ziling's behavior.
The afterglow of the setting sun finally disappeared on the distant Buddhist altar on the ground outside the temple. It became the only light in this dark world, making Shi Qingxuan even more aloof and unfathomable.
The sound of cicadas and insects fills the space outside the temple, which is both substantial and ethereal. There is also an indescribable rhythm hidden in the chaos that makes the otherwise dead night of the deserted temple full of life.
A strange sound suddenly sounded outside the temple.
When I first heard it, it seemed like a cry of a baby, but then it turned into a woman's scream and wail. With Xu Ziling's cultivation and knowing that someone was causing trouble, his reaction was horrified, and he couldn't help but think of Zhu Yuyan's evil skill of using sounds to confuse the enemy.
Shi Qingxuan turned a deaf ear and remained so elegant and calm.
Xu Ziling didn't understand why he couldn't see her face and expression but could still clearly feel her emotions. After thinking and introspecting, he finally realized that he had grasped her inner situation from the subtle movements of her back, including
The movements of her muscles and blood vessels under her clothes were invisible to ordinary people.
Xu Ziling was also surprised by his own insight. This was indeed an improvement that he had never dreamed of before.
The demonic sounds outside started to change again, from front to back, rising from left to right, erratic, concentrated in the square outside the temple gate, and became increasingly loud and unpleasant, and turned into ghostly chirping. It would be strange if those with weak concentration did not cover their ears and tremble.
.
It's as if you suddenly arrived in the Shura underworld and thousands of dead ghosts are coming to demand your life. The phantoms are full of murderous intent.
Ziling! The shrill cry resounded in Xu Ziling’s eardrums.
Xu Ziling was confused and thought to himself, wasn't this Su Su's call? He was shocked when he realized that the demonic sound had invaded his mind, and he quickly dismissed all thoughts and kept his mind focused.
Shi Qingxuan sighed quietly again. She took out a bamboo flute from somewhere and put it next to her, but it didn't make any sound.
When Xu Ziling was feeling that something was fishy, a voice seemed to slowly rise in the distance on the horizon and then remain in that unreachable distance, leaping with life. No matter how twisted the ghost chirping became, it was horrifying, harsh and harsh, imitating the sky and the earth.
The stormy waves seem to be able to drown and suffocate anyone. But the notes played by Shi Qingxuan are like a boat that will never sink. Sometimes it is thrown away by huge waves like a wall, but in the end it can always swim safely.
Xu Ziling's heart also stirred up a thousand huge waves because it was the first time that he experienced the extraordinary skill of using sound to break the sound, and it was difficult to describe the benefits he gained from it.
He finally grasped a possibility that could compete with Zhu Yuyan's magical voice.
This played a decisive and important role in the struggle between him and Kou Zhong and the Yingui faction.
He was once again completely enchanted by Shi Qingxuan's moving flute music.
From her pronunciation, he clearly felt that Shi Qingxuan was a real lady. Her pronunciation seemed ordinary, but it was extremely moving. She gently dug and caressed it without any pretense - the pain hidden in everyone's heart is not limited by time, space and emotions.
limit.
Each note is like an accumulation - some strange and touching power that makes it difficult to resist and even more difficult to stand on the sidelines.
Xu Ziling completely forgot about her playing skills and even the musical compositions; instead, she only concentrated on every sound coming from the vibration of the bamboo pipe.
This is an amazing feeling I've never had before.
The sound of the flute becomes more and more agile and fast, as if it can take you a thousand miles away in one breath; the timbre changes in thousands of ways, and the rhythm is constantly increasing and expanding - the indescribable continuous cohesion, tension and appeal.
The chirping ghost sounds kept fading away until they were completely silent, leaving only the dizzying sound of the flute that still filled the heaven and earth softly.
The sound of the flute suddenly stopped.
Shi Qingxuan said lightly: Since the distinguished guest is coming, why not go into the temple and meet Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin's daughter Shi Qingxuan, who are here to wait for the four seniors.
The wind is coming quickly.
The lights suddenly went out.
What followed was a weird, sharp whistling sound and a series of sudden sounds like thunderous bursts of energy.
Then all the sounds of fighting disappeared as abruptly as they had arisen.
The lights came on again.
Shi Qingxuan was still standing facing the Buddha. Her beautiful eyes fell on the only fire in the huge Buddha hall, and the red light seemed to merge with her into an inseparable whole.
On the other side, near the door is the beautiful lady Jin Huanzhen. At this time, her hair is disheveled and her face is pale, which shows that she suffered a secret loss during the fight just now.
Shi Qingxuan said softly: "Just now, Sect Master Jin was injured by my flute, but still trying to show off his strength is overestimating his ability. Let's go! It's too late."
Jin Huanzhen glanced at Xu Ziling, who was sitting quietly in a corner, in surprise and said sharply: Who is he?
Shi Qingxuan said lightly: How should I know?
You Niaojuan's voice that could make anyone unforgettable for the rest of their lives, like a knife scraping a porcelain plate and making people feel uncomfortable, slowly sounded outside the temple: I thought you, this girl, had the true inheritance of Bi Xiuxin and was extremely smart, but it turns out you are just What a stupid girl doesn’t know that there is a saying in this world that will lead to great achievements and will be destroyed forever. This slut is just the vanguard sent to find out your details. Now how much you weigh is all in my calculations.
Xu Ziling was dumbfounded when he heard this, not because he was surprised that there were people like You Niaojuan in the world, but because he couldn't understand why Jin Huan could still accept being manipulated and humiliated like this.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
If anyone else has anything to say, it would be nice.
Shi Qingxuan still had an elegant and calm expression and said: I didn't expect that You Niaojuan, who was one of the eight masters of the evil sect twenty years ago, was so courageous and shallow. He only used his words but had no courage to enter the house. Do you care about this accidental person? Where are the seniors passing by?
Xu Ziling became confused and couldn't figure out whether Shi Qingxuan was excusing him or trying to drag him into the whirlpool.
Jin Huanzhen smiled like a silver bell and said: Don't worry, Boss You! This old man is definitely not the "Heavenly Sword" Song Que, but don't think I will test it for you.
You Niao Juan's voice reached the temple and screamed: Why don't you want to?
Jin Huanzhen shrugged and said, "I'm afraid of him! If two people attack me and you don't save me, then I'm asking for death. I'm the one who did this for you."
At this time, Xu Ziling knew that Song Que, the "Heavenly Sword", was involved in this matter. It was no wonder that You Niaojuan was still so afraid of such a powerful and terrifying magic power.
Boom!
A big hole was opened in the temple, and pieces of wood and tiles fell from the sky. Youniao Juan landed between Jin Huanzhen and Shi Qingxuan, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's falcon directed at Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling secretly thought that it was time. At the same moment when his opponent's feet touched the ground, he stood up suddenly and met You Guijian's eyes, making a dumb smile and said: Is Yu Guijian finally willing to show his face?
You Niaojuan obviously didn't recognize Yue Shan. He looked at him attentively for a long time and then frowned and said: "The old man's tone is really loud. Sign up for me and see if you are qualified to call me a ghost."
Xu Ziling couldn't laugh or cry about him. It is indeed rare in the world for a master-level master to be as shameless as You Niao Juan; but it also shows his despicable and shameless character. Once the details of him are found out, his bullying methods will be unprecedented. Vicious and cruel.
At the same time, another question that had nothing to do with everything in front of me came to mind.
Who is the daughter born to Zhu Yuyan and Yue Shan?
Forty years ago, Yue Shan was defeated by Song Que and lost all his reputation and disappeared. That's why the younger generations like You Niaojuan don't know Yue Shan.
And if Zhu Yuyan conceives Yue Shan's daughter, she should have been born forty years ago. If this is the case, then she must not be the daughter of Zhu Yue and Yue because their ages are not consistent.
The reason why the two of them look so similar may be because they are fellow practitioners and have similar temperaments, which caused him to misunderstand.
Based on intuition, □□'s age should be between ten and ten.
So who is their daughter?
While thinking about it, he replied casually: When I became famous, you were still eating your mother's a**. Stop talking nonsense. I am so greedy today that I will kill you and eat it!
You Niaojuan may have never heard of anyone in the world who dared to speak to him like this, and he was stunned for a moment. Of course, if he hadn't had a sharp vision and sensed Xu Ziling's strong confidence and overwhelming aura, he would have been hesitant and would have done it sooner.
Killer.
A sinister laughter came from far outside the door and said: It's funny! It's funny! Why don't You Niaoer change your name to "The Frightened Bird" because your courage was frightened by Song Que twenty years ago. Otherwise, how could you be so shameless?
You still have to hide your head inside a turtle shell even when you are yelling at people to be beaten and killed?
It was Ding Jiuzhong's mocking voice.
Jin Huan's real color changed: Boss You, how did you mess up today so much that even a mere Emperor Ding couldn't deal with it?
Xu Ziling didn't wait for You Niaojuan to react and sneered: Sister, aren't you also making no progress?
Then he shouted: Zhou Laotan! Get out of here and let your sister see it.
Jin Huanzhen's delicate body was shocked and Youniao's tired face looked at each other, the more they felt that Xu Ziling was unfathomable.
Alas! Who are you, old man? Now even I, Zhou Laotan, want to know.
The sound came from far away, and Zhou Lao sighed - striding into the temple with both hands, he reached Jin Huanzhen's side without any scruples, reaching out his hands to hug her waist tightly, looking at Youniao as if nothing existed, and looking up at the night sky through the hole in the temple.
He said spontaneously: Look! The sky this evening is as bright with stars as the sky that night twenty years ago.
Jin Huanzhen pressed into his arms and cooed, "It's even more beautiful than the starry sky that night!"
Now it's Xu Ziling's turn to be in a fog and bewildered.
Youniao laughed suddenly and said: What a whore! She actually conspired to deceive me! I admire her!
Xu Ziling suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Jin Huan really couldn't kill Zhou Laotan because the two were acting for You Niaojuan and Ding Jiuzhong to see. The purpose was to hope that both You Niaojuan and Ding Jiuzhong would lose in a fight. The intrigues of these evil people are indeed beyond human control.
imagine.
Shi Qingxuan still kept her back - no one made any movement, as if what happened behind her had nothing to do with her.
Ding Jiuchong, who was crowned the emperor, appeared at the gate and stared expressionlessly - Xu Ziling said calmly: At present, should we deal with the foreign enemies first and then settle the grievances of our own family?
slow-!
Shi Qingxuan shouted and immediately drew everyone's attention to her.
This mysterious beauty finally slowly turned around and faced everyone.
