Gai Tianjiao chased after her from behind. When she saw Zhang Ruochen standing under the altar, she suddenly showed a curious expression and asked, "Junior Brother Lin Yue, what are you doing?"
The mental power quickly surged back into Zhang Ruochen's body like a tide.
Zhang Ruochen took back his hand that was placed on the altar, turned around, glanced at Gai Tianjiao, and said with a smile: "Nothing, I'm just suddenly curious. Has this jade altar been on the ancient sacred mountain since ancient times, or was it built later?
"
Gai Tianjiao didn't think much about it, and said: "This altar is used for the ceremony of worshiping the heaven in the Sword Discussion Conference. It was built five hundred years ago. At that time, it also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Even now, it is built every year
It will cost millions of spiritual crystals to maintain the formation under the altar."
Zhang Ruochen raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Just maintaining the formation, do you need to consume so many spiritual crystals every year?"
"I'm not sure. Anyway, there are indeed many secrets hidden in the ancient sacred mountain. Some of these forbidden areas, even if I break into them, will be a dead end."
Gai Tianjiao's eyes showed a puzzled look and said: "Junior brother Lin Yue, why are you so concerned about the jade altar?"
Zhang Ruochen knew that Gai Tianjiao had begun to be suspicious, so he gave up the idea of immediately entering the bottom of the altar to explore, and said quickly: "I'm just curious."
"Farewell."
Zhang Ruochen bowed his hand to Gai Tianjiao, and then left the ancient sacred mountain without stopping.
Gai Tianjiao stared at the retreating figure carefully, and then returned to the sword pavilion again.
Moon Burial Sword Master was still sitting cross-legged above him. When he saw Gai Tianjiao, he said, "Have you sent him away?"
Gai Tianjiao nodded, with a serious look on his face, and said: "Master, I think Lin Yue has some problems. He seems to be hiding a lot of things. Is it really a good thing that we trust him so much?"
The Moon Burial Sword Master smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about Lin Yue. He is the person appointed by Grandmaster Taiyi. Even if you can't trust him, you should still trust Grandmaster Taiyi."
Gai Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since he is the person appointed by the ancestor, I am relieved! However, is it too risky for us to place all our hopes on him alone?"
"His understanding and aptitude are indeed extremely high. If he practices in the Sword Pavilion, there is still a chance to reach the second level of Sword II."
"However, if we let him practice outside, I'm worried that by the ninth day of September, he won't even be able to reach the first level of Sword Two."
Not only was Gai Tianjiao worried, but Moon Burial Sword Master also didn't have much confidence in Lin Yue.
Sword Two is much more difficult than Sword One. Just the first level of "Yin and Yang Alternation" is enough to stump many swordsmen. After ten or twenty years of mastery, they may not be able to cross that hurdle.
Gai Tianjiao is like this.
She has already cultivated Sword One to the tenth level of perfection, but she has never crossed the threshold of Sword Two, and she has never been able to realize the realm of "the alternation of yin and yang".
Although it has a lot to do with her own physique, it also shows that for monks in the Fish and Dragon Realm, Sword Two is quite difficult to practice. Even if you are just getting started, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The Moon Burial Sword Master pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, in the next few months, it will be up to you to supervise him and not let him slack off too much. As long as he can reach the second level of Sword II on the ninth day of September,
Realm, we still have a glimmer of a chance."
"Disciple accepts the order." Gai Tianjiao said.
"Wow!"
At this moment, a light symbol flew from the end of the dark blue sky, like a meteor, penetrated the clouds and mist of the ancient sacred mountain, and circled around the sword pavilion.
The Moon Burial Sword Master let out a soft cry from his mouth, and immediately stretched out a hand to grab the void.
Immediately, a jade talisman appeared in his hand.
After reading the contents on the talisman, the Moon Burial Sword Master smiled and said, "This year's Sword Discussion Conference is really getting more and more lively."
Gai Tianjiao asked: "Master, what happened?"
Moon Burial Sword Master said: "Xuanji Sword Master issued a declaration of war to Jiuyou Sword Master. It is said that he wants to seek justice for his disciple. On the ninth day of September, he will fight to the death in the sword pavilion and ask me to be a notary."
"Two sword masters are actually going to fight to the death?" Gai Tianjiao was quite surprised.
All the monks in the Eastern Region knew that Jiuyou Sword Master killed Zhang Ruochen, a disciple of Xuanji Sword Master. That incident caused an uproar a few months ago.
Everyone knows that Xuanji Sword Master is a very defensive person and will never give up.
Now, Xuanji Sword Master has finally taken action. If a Sword Master issues a life-and-death battle, then he must be true to his word.
Either you die or I die.
Will the Nine Nether Sword Saint accept the challenge?
"Wow!"
From outside the sky, another light talisman flew towards me.
The Moon Burial Sword Master collected the light talisman, took a look, frowned slightly, and sighed: "Jiuyou Sword Master accepted the challenge! The life and death battle between the two sword masters will definitely attract the attention of all the forces in the Eastern Region.
By that time, there will definitely be more monks coming to the Aye Yi Sect, I hope there won't be any accidents."
Not only did the Moon Burial Sword Master receive the light talisman, but on that night, the news of the life-and-death battle between the two sword masters spread throughout the major sects and saint sects in the Eastern Region, causing the entire land to shake.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had just returned to Zixia Lingshan, so naturally he didn't know about the news that Xuanji Sword Master had issued a challenge to Jiuyou Sword Master.
A swish sound.
Xiao Hei flew out of the night and landed on the top of the fence. His round eyes glowed brightly in the darkness.
It asked: "How is it? Have you found the heaven and earth altar on the third level of the ancient sacred mountain?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "I didn't find the Heaven and Earth Altar, but I found some interesting things. However, there are so many masters in the Jiange Pavilion that I am a little too busy to explore it myself. Next time, you will go to the Jiange Pavilion with me.
Find out the power of the altar of heaven and earth."
In the sky, a dark cloud surged in mightily, covering the bright moon and making the whole world quite dull.
In that cloud, there was a muffled sound of thunder, causing subtle vibrations in the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth.
It can be predicted that a heavy downpour is coming.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "During the few days I was at the Ancient God Mountain, did Qi Feiyu behave in any unusual way?"
"During the past few days when you were at the Ancient God Mountain, that girl has been staying at the foot of the Ancient God Mountain. I even doubted whether she really fell in love with you?" Xiao Hei yawned and said lazily.
Immediately, Xiao Hei said again: "However, she left immediately after you came down the mountain. What makes me strange is that she did not return to Yuqing Palace, but left Liangyi Sect."
"Left the Aye-gi Sect."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes kept changing. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said, "There's a problem... Xiaohei, if you want to keep up with her, there should be no problem, right?"
Xiao Hei chuckled and said: "I have long used a secret method to collect an aura on her body. As long as she is within ten thousand miles, I can find her by smelling it."
"Come on, let's catch up and take a look."
Zhang Ruochen immediately took out a metal mask, put it on his face, and then used his movement technique to rush out of the mountain gate of Liangyi Sect.
…
…………
Qi Feiyu walked out of the mountain gate of Liangyi Sect, and her graceful body turned into a ball of blood mist, rushed into the jungle, and disappeared into the night.
After a while, the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and it rained heavily.
In the Falling God Mountain Range, the peaks are like pillars supporting the sky, exuding majestic momentum. Especially during thunderstorms, powerful beasts living in the wilderness come out of their lairs one after another to absorb the power of thunder and lightning.
.
Under one of the peaks, there is a bottomless valley of miasma and poison. A giant beast with a body length of more than 200 meters rushed out of the valley. It was a centipede. Its whole body was pitch black, except for its two eyeballs, which emitted golden light.
.
The giant centipede circled around the mountain peak and rushed to the top of the mountain. Then it opened its mouth and sucked in all the dozens of lightning bolts in the cloud into its body.
"call out!"
Suddenly, the giant centipede shrank and turned into a man with eight arms and eight legs, falling to the ground at the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there is an ancient blue-gray Taoist temple. Outside the gate of the Taoist temple, there is a broken monument with three words engraved on it, "The Temple of No Life".
In addition to the eight-armed and eight-legged man from the Taoist temple, there was also a young woman with a pair of blue wings on her back, and between her eyebrows, there was a mark like a flame.
She was covered with a blue feather coat, and each feather seemed to be made of metal and was extremely sharp.
"coming!"
A man with eight hands and eight legs and a woman with blue wings stood in the rain, on the left and right sides of the Taoist temple, looking into the rain curtain.
A cloud of blood mist flew out of the forest, exuding an unusually fragrant fragrance.
As the blood mist flew, it gradually condensed into a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, wearing a Taoist robe, and landed lightly on the ground.
"Meet the Saint."
A man and a woman outside the Taoist temple bowed to Qi Feiyu at the same time.
"Squeak!"
The wooden door of the Taoist temple opened, and a man in his twenties walked out of the door. He had thick black eyebrows and strong features. He was wearing a simple blue shirt, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and walked towards Qi Feiyu in the rain.
past.
"I have already brewed a pot of your favorite Qinlong tea. I will wait for you."
The man in Tsing Yi held the oil-paper umbrella above Qi Feiyu's head, covering her from the rain, and using his own body to block the wind.
He raised his head, looked at the thunder and lightning in the sky, and said: "Tonight the wind and rain are coming too fast. Let's go into the Taoist temple and talk slowly. Centipede eight, Quejiu, you will stay outside and be careful."
"
The man in green and Qi Feiyu walked into Wu Sheng Dao and sat cross-legged opposite each other. There was a pot of tea boiling on the stove between them.
The tea made a gurgling sound, and the fragrance emitted permeated the entire Taoist temple.
