Luo Xixian threw down the book in his hand, feeling irritable and unable to stand it anymore. He casually walked outside the courtyard and looked up as if he was sensing something. Countless birds were flying from the southern sky, and they were as dark as dark clouds, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
At the same time, the city of Yanze was in a state of turmoil, livestock agitation, and commotion.
Luo Xixian sensed that a huge danger was approaching. Xin Shunying rushed into the courtyard and hurriedly said: "Oh no! I just noticed that there is something strange in the weather in the direction of Dongshengdu. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."
At this time, the earth suddenly shook violently, and the originally solid ground was like the waves of the sea, making it impossible for people to stand and feeling extremely scared.
"Be careful!" After all, Luo Xixian has achieved success in cultivation. His foundation as a swordsman makes him unusually sensitive to dangerous murderous intentions. He hugged Xin Shunying and flew up with a lunge. The ground beneath their feet cracked instantly.
The cracks in the ground expanded at an incredible speed, swallowing up the entire county governor's office in a matter of seconds.
Luo Xin and the two watched in horror as the crack extended crazily. Yanze City was almost cut open from the middle, leaving a dark crack that was bottomless. Many people could not escape and fell into it screaming.
Seeing such earthquakes and catastrophic disasters, even those who are cultivators of immortality feel deeply that they are insignificant and powerless.
The shaking of the earth stopped in an instant, and the Yanze City in front of us collapsed with houses and walls crumbling, smoke and dust billowing, fires everywhere, and the sound of wailing and screaming could be heard everywhere.
"Oh my god..." Xin Shunying couldn't bear to see this situation.
Luo Xixian's face was extremely gloomy. He looked at the fissure extending into the distance and asked, "Is this related to what you said about the weather in Dongsheng City?"
"That should be the case." Xin Shunying was in a state of confusion: "Not long ago, there was Qi rising into the sky at Panlong Mountain in the north, echoing the Dongsheng Capital. I never thought that such a catastrophe would happen in the blink of an eye..."
Xin Shunying was so good at controlling the weather that even Yanze City in the far northern border county experienced such a violent disaster. What kind of shocking situation would it be in the Dongsheng capital area? It is unimaginable.
"What should we do?" Xin Shunying suddenly ran out of ideas. The weather was in chaos. She was somewhat implicated, and she felt that the energy in her body was restless.
"Annoy the people, provide relief, quell chaos, and protect the environment." Luo Xixian's panic disappeared in an instant, revealing a bit of a general's demeanor: "If there is chaos in Dongsheng Capital, there will be no peace in Huaxu Kingdom."
…
The grass pavilion swayed, and the ripples in the cup moved slightly. Lu Wangji pressed the strings and looked toward the south.
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster!" The otter demon named Xiaojin ran over in a panic: "I don't know why, but for some reason, there was a turmoil outside, and several mountains collapsed."
At this time, Hengbi Gong's body flashed and appeared out of thin air outside the grass pavilion. His true form, which was not flesh and blood, had a dim light and was no longer as tall and straight as before. It was like a wisp of smoke that could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"There was an accident on Liang Tao's side." Hengbi Gong said with difficulty: "The rules and regulations collapsed, and majestic energy poured into the earth's veins, causing countless disasters, and many landslides and ground cracks in Xingluo County."
"Then, what should we do?" Xiao Jin cowered up in fear.
"I can't sustain my true form, and I'm afraid I have to retreat into the earth to warm up and stabilize the mountains and rivers." Hengbi Gong said to Lu Wangji: "This blessed land is entrusted to Taoist friends. The world is about to be in chaos, so it is best to keep quiet.
The best thing to do..."
After saying these words, Hengbi Gong turned into a plume of smoke and disappeared.
…
The calamity clouds filled the sky, and tornadoes descended from the sky with strong winds, destroying forests and uprooting trees, and destroying houses wherever they passed.
Thousands of thunderbolts flashed wildly, and people and animals on the ground could not escape. They were struck by thunder from the sky and turned into ashes.
The ground cracked thousands of feet, poisonous fire rose into the sky, swallowing up countless living beings in an instant, and the evil and turbid energy deep underground also spurted out.
Looking at the three disasters of wind, fire, thunder and lightning across the sky, countless ghosts and monsters rushed out from the ground. As far as the eye could see, the surrounding area of Dongsheng Capital felt like it was the end of the world.
At this moment, Difei Mountain, although it has experienced a series of fierce battles, has long lost the beautiful scenery of the fairyland in the past, but it has been lucky enough not to be affected by the three disasters, and it can temporarily enjoy a moment of peace.
"No, it shouldn't be like this..." Zhao Shu's face was filled with confusion and astonishment. Standing on the top of Difei Mountain, he could vaguely see a corner of Dongsheng Capital in the distance falling directly into the ground. The poisonous fire that reached thousands of feet in the sky was mercilessly raging, accompanied by
The strong wind and tornado turned Dongshengdu into a sea of fire.
"How could this be so?!" Mr. Huaiming almost broke his teeth and asked Liang Tao with a fierce face: "Is this also your plan?!"
Liang Tao looked at the scene of the three disasters coming to the world and said with a smile: "Do you think I can predict everything? When I ascended to the altar, I was implicated in countless people. People from all over the world were involved, and the deduction was chaotic. But from today's perspective,
The clear and the turbid between the heaven and the earth are mixed together, and disasters are spreading, just like chaos, and I am not wrong in my calculation."
"Can you still laugh?" Mr. Huai Ming's head was furious.
Liang Tao's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "You are also a cultivator of immortals, so you should know how to bear the disaster! How can there be no consequences for killing the immortal family? Zhang Duanjing is so smart that he wants to use the energy of disaster to sacrifice.
With the Divine Sword, he certainly killed Canghua Tianjun, but the calamity in the sword dissipated and the person who caused the catastrophe was Zhang Duanjing!"
Mr. Huaiming retorted: "If you hadn't insisted on your own way and tried to build a Taoist country in the world, who would have fought with you desperately? Zhang Duanjing was not just for you when he forged the divine sword!"
"He is a lunatic, I am too lazy to argue with him." Liang Tao closed his eyes and gasped.
"No, it's not the teacher's fault." Zhao Miao murmured about this: "It's me, I'm the one who penetrated the land of Huaxu Kingdom. The heaven and earth of the mandala ritual are facing each other. Once the cave heaven is out of order, the pure energy will flow back into the earth.
If such a huge energy system is not channeled, the earth's veins will be temporarily unable to contain it, and the pure and turbid will mix, and it will immediately turn into a disaster... I should have thought of it, but how could I forget even this most superficial thing."
"It has nothing to do with you." Liang Tao sighed softly: "This result is the result of the joint efforts of all parties. I just didn't expect Canghua Tianjun to have such deep calculations."
"That's not right!" Zhao Shu shook his head frantically: "When you gave me the real map of Fang Yuji, I vaguely guessed that Yingzhou Island might be the location of the earth's Qi mechanism, but I just didn't say it out!"
Liang Tao was startled at first, but then he was relieved: "That's all, even if I knew that there was something wrong with Yingzhou Island, I couldn't take it away directly, otherwise I would have to confront Canghua Tianjun immediately. Some things even have to be chosen all over again.
, and it may not lead to good results.”
However, these words were far from being able to relieve Zhao Shu's inner depression. He thought of his teacher Zhang Duanjing who was wiped out in ashes in order to kill the immortal family in the lower world. Looking at his mother lying on the ground, he couldn't help but think of the god-killing nail that killed his mother. It happened to be their Xuanwu Zhao family.
Created by his ancestors. His great ambition to conquer the immortals in the past was now being retaliated against himself, making Zhao Shu feel confused.
One after another, the past events came to mind. The rituals and rituals that he had studied so hard in the past not only failed to help people and material things, but also caused three disasters to come to the world, and countless creatures died as a result. Zhao Shu felt that his life was like a giant.
It's a joke, if you live, you will be ashamed of all the people in the world.
Thinking of this, the Zichen Xuanwei sword thrust into the ground came into view. Zhao Shu stepped forward in a daze, drew the sword and killed himself.
"No!" Several people shouted in unison.
The sword pointed across his neck, and the fire flashed at the same time. Before Zhao Shu could slit his throat, he was knocked unconscious by Mr. Huai Ming's palm.
"Confused!" Mr. Huaiming grabbed the sword and threw it away. He knocked Zhao Shu down and cursed helplessly.
Mr. Zhan Ming sighed: "My close relatives have died one after another, and the three disasters have caused endless disasters. Zhao Shu blames himself deeply. This is a difficult situation."
Mr. Huaiming was planning how to take Zhao Shu away when he suddenly shouted to the side: "Who is it? Get out!"
The sound of shouting was filled with scorching heat. In the collapsed building in the distance, a white-haired old man's cover was broken. He was dragging an iron coffin behind him with a solemn expression.
"Duan Zhao? Why did you come just now?" Mr. Huai Ming asked.
Liang Tao asked: "Who is this person?"
"Zhang Duanjing's junior brother is also the descendant of Yunyan Peak." Mr. Huaiming replied angrily: "In the past, he came forward to communicate with us Chiyundu on Zhang Duanjing's behalf."
"He asked me to take care of his affairs." Duan Zhao first looked in the direction of Yingzhou Island, and then glanced at Xu Ningzhen on the ground, extremely disappointed: "They didn't even survive."
"What does Zhang Duanjing want you to do?" Mr. Huaiming was confused. Duanzhao saw Liang Tao who was seriously injured and paralyzed not far away. Mr. Huaiming waved his hand: "You can say whatever you want, he is about to die."
Duan Zhao could only say: "Originally, Zhang Duanjing had no intention of walking down Difei Mountain alive, but he hoped to save Xu Ningzhen so that she could get to know Zhao Mi and her son... Unfortunately, he could not say that he had a perfect plan. Unexpected variables
Too much."
"This coffin..."
"This coffin can hide the soul and isolate it from all prying eyes from the outside world. If you stay in it, you can keep your vitality intact." Duan Zhao said: "Both Zhang Duanjing and Xu Ningzhen's souls were controlled by Canghua Tianjun. At first, they considered that they could not deal with Canghua.
Lord Tian, use this coffin to keep Xu Ningzhen alive until things turn around in the future."
Mr. Huaiming nodded slightly. Unfortunately, both Zhang Duanjing and Xu Ningzhen are now dead.
"Can this coffin be kept alive for a long time?" The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Jiang Ru was the first to react and immediately said to Liang Tao: "Sir, you are seriously injured now, why not..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone had different thoughts, and some Chongxuan Hall disciples were already eyeing Duan Zhao and the iron coffin behind him.
"What are you going to do?" Duan Zhao snorted coldly: "Planning to seize the coffin to save Liang Tao? What a wishful thinking!"
Duan Zhao raised his palm and pressed it softly, and his true energy condensed into hundreds of sword rays surrounding his body, ready to go.
Seeing that the Chongxuan Hall disciples were about to swarm forward, Liang Tao stopped him and said, "Get back!"
The disciples wanted to persuade him, but Liang Tao waved his hand: "Don't say any more, I have my own arrangements. Please step back."
The disciples had no choice but to leave, and Jiang Ru could only say: "Sir, please take the elixir and adjust your breath as soon as possible. The current situation still requires you to take charge of the overall situation."
"What's the overall situation?" Liang Tao knew that his life was over. He looked at the unconscious Zhao Shu, and then said to Duan Zhao, "Did Zhang Duanjing tell you that he wanted to take Zhao Shu away?"
Duan Zhao removed his magic power and reluctantly replied: "That's true."
"Put him in the coffin." After Liang Tao said this, Duan Zhao glanced at Mr. Chiyun, who also nodded, so he quickly followed suit.
Just as Duan Zhao was about to close the coffin lid, Liang Tao said again: "Wait...Jiang Ru, help me make a clay figurine."
Jiang Ru didn't know why, so she had no choice but to do as she was told. Anyway, the area was full of broken earth and rocks.
Liang Tao got up with difficulty and came to the iron coffin. Looking at Zhao Shu who was sleeping peacefully inside, he smiled a little. He first carefully wrapped the Zichen Xuanwei Sword and the Ming Dynasty Mirror and put them into the coffin, then raised his hand and
Point, recite the sutra rhymes silently, try your best to condense a talisman, and then press it with your fingers.
"I will help you take care of Zhao Shu in the future." Liang Tao pressed his fingertips between Zhao Shu's eyebrows and spoke sincerely.
Duan Zhao thought that Liang Tao was talking to him, but he didn't expect that a living immortal family would also have such sincere words. Maybe this is because people speak kindly when they are about to die?
"I will take good care of him. Zhang Duanjing has made arrangements." Duan Zhaoyan said.
Liang Tao took back his hand, his eagle-browed falcon eyes showed his dignity and power again: "What is the arrangement?"
"I can't tell, and don't ask." Duan Zhao was wary.
"Okay, that's how it should be." Liang Tao nodded, opened the jade box in his arms, took out one of the Jiuding Divine Pills, and put the other one and the jade box behind Zhao Shu's head.
Liang Tao raised his sleeves again, letting the immortal wind stir. He brushed off the blood all over Zhao Mi's body. He saw that there was still a slight scar on his throat from when he committed suicide, with a drop of blood seeping out, so he reached out and wiped it off gently.
"Cover the coffin." Liang Tao stepped aside and watched the iron coffin gradually close.
On the side, Mr. Huaiming covered Xu Ningzhen's body with a robe and carefully handed it to Duan Zhao: "Please give Zhao Mi's mother a good burial, so that at least he won't be too sad when he wakes up."
"I understand." Duan Zhao added: "If nothing happens in the future, we will not see each other again."
Mr. Huai Ming nodded slightly, and Duan Zhao dragged the iron coffin and used the masking illusion again, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"First seat, the clay figurine is ready." Jiang Ru handed over a crude clay figurine with only a head, body and limbs.
Liang Tao took the clay figurine, smeared the drop of blood from his fingertips on the clay figurine, and wrote it into a spell. Then he blew a breath of Qi, and the clay figurine he threw out suddenly turned into the appearance of Zhao Shui, but his expression was dull.
After doing this, Liang Tao collapsed and couldn't stand. Jiang Ru quickly helped him aside.
"Put him in the corner and stab him in the chest with the sword." Liang Tao was breathless, with a haggard look on his face.
Jiang Ru knew that Liang Tao had no way to save him, so she had no choice but to do as she was told with tears in her eyes. She took care of the dummy that turned into Zhao Shu properly, like a corpse, and stabbed it with a long sword, and blood flowed out.
"Let them come over." Liang Tao raised his hand gently, and Jiang Ru called the remaining Chongxuan Hall disciples to come forward.
"From now on, you will listen to Jiang Ru's orders, Chongxuan Hall..." Liang Tao smiled softly and bitterly: "There will be no Chongxuan Hall in the future. If you want to save your life, you must not think of yourself as a Chongxuan sect member in the future."
All the disciples were crying, and even though it was as cold as a thorn tree, they could not conceal their sadness.
"Zhan Ming, how have I treated you these years?" Liang Tao suddenly looked at Mr. Zhan Ming.
"Extremely trying to win over you," Mr. Zhan Ming replied in a nonchalant manner.
Liang Tao also ignored the sarcasm and said to Jiang Ru beside him: "There is a secret passage under the Wind and Fire Cave, and you can escape from Difei Mountain. You can leave as soon as possible while the chaos is spreading. I built a tunnel in the East China Sea."
It's a secret cave, Fu Yao should have told you in detail, right?"
Jiang Ru couldn't stop crying and couldn't say anything. She could only nod her head repeatedly. Liang Tao gave Jiang Ru the remaining Jiuding Divine Pill in his hand: "This one is reserved for you... You can wait until you get to Donghai Cave Mansion."
, remember not to cause trouble, remember today's disaster, and future generations will not do anything wrong."
When all the disciples heard this, they cried loudly, and some tried their best to persuade Liang Tao to escape together.
It was difficult for Mr. Huaiming to interrupt at first, but he suddenly looked at Nanshan and said: "No, the troops are entering the mountain outside! You should prepare to leave quickly!"
"Go and rest, go and rest, what you have experienced today is exactly the obstacle you are waiting to break." There was no regret on Liang Tao's face.
"Quick! I sense that there are experts inside. If they find that the formation is broken, they can rush up in the blink of an eye!" Mr. Huaiming stopped being polite and dragged a group of Chongxuan Hall disciples away from Liang Tao's surroundings.
.
All the disciples gritted their teeth and held resentment, and had no choice but to follow Mr. Zhan Ming to the Wind and Fire Cave. Before leaving, Jiang Ru bowed her head to Liang Tao, stood up, wiped away her tears, and turned around with a determined expression.
Mr. Huaiming, who had been adjourned, looked back and saw Liang Tao sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head bowed. He had a complicated expression and had to leave in a hurry.
A moment later, more than a dozen monks jumped up, followed by a large number of soldiers and horses. They saw the top of Difei Mountain in a state of chaos. It was obvious that this place had experienced a fierce battle.
"Difei Mountain is really extraordinary. It's thundering and windy outside, and the ground is cracking and spewing fire, but it's very peaceful here. It's really good to escape here!" The leading general breathed a sigh of relief.
"Be careful! There is someone!" the monk in front exclaimed, immediately frightening all the soldiers to be on guard.
When everyone saw Liang Tao sitting cross-legged among the ruins with his head bowed, and Zhao Miao's sword stuck in his chest next to him, he clearly looked like he was dead, and their hearts pounded.
"Is that man Liang, Liang, Liang..." When the general saw Liang Tao, he didn't dare to call him by his name, he was extremely afraid.
The monk next to him said: "I didn't sense the breath of life, maybe he has..."
"Dead?!" The general was overjoyed. He was about to rush forward and cut off his head, but was held back by the monk: "General, are you not afraid of fraud?"
The general stopped immediately, took a breath of cold air, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes...who dares to capture the national traitor? The court has an order. Anyone who beheads his head will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and be granted the title of five thousand nobles!"
While all the soldiers looked at each other, a big man carrying a heavy ax stepped forward and said, "I'm coming!"
Seeing that the big man looked stupid, he probably didn't have much concern for his own interests, so he grabbed Liang Tao's hair and planned to cut off his head to receive the reward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he grabbed it, Liang Tao's whole body turned into smoke and dust, and he couldn't hold it at all, and it drifted between heaven and earth.
"What the hell?" The stupid man was stunned for a moment, but when he saw a dead body next to him, he chopped off the head with an ax without hesitation, and then asked: "Boss, does this count?"
"This...could it be Zhao Shu?" The general was also surprised: "This is worth five thousand gold and two thousand households!"
As soon as this statement came out, many soldiers present were quite unhappy. If they had known that there were no weird and unpredictable magic methods, they would have gone up and chopped Zhao Miao into pulp.
Someone looked at the stupid big man and became more and more displeased, and an arrow flew from nowhere and shot him down. Zhao Shu's head fell to the ground, as if a spark was thrown into a hot oil pan, which immediately caused all the soldiers to fight crazily.
Grab Zhao Mi's head.
In an instant, the top of Difei Mountain once again turned into a bloody fighting ground. In order to fight for Zhao Shu's head, thousands of soldiers killed each other in a frenzy, leaving corpses scattered on the pillow and blood flowing into rivers.
