"...The Heavenly Master personally went down to the abyss and fought against the underground demons. He gained a slight upper hand, but was also infected by the evil spirit. He had to withdraw from the abyss and returned to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to recuperate from his injuries. Now there are two factions in Lihuo and Juling Mansion.
Several elders from the sect have been sent to guard the place."
Chen Yuan frowned: "The abyss demon was transformed by evil energy?"
"The Heavenly Master did not mention what the abyss looks like. He only said that the bottom is deep into the center of the earth and is unbearably hot. There is another world filled with evil spirits."
The sun poured into the forest, and under the shade of trees, everyone listened quietly to Taoist Yuchen's talk about Hezhou. In fact, they had heard it on the way here, and now they are just accompanying them, and they should pay more attention to it.
In the surrounding area, after all, this is also a place to enter the mountains.
Yu Feihong sat fearfully next to an elder in the sect, looking at Chen Yuan who was deep in thought with his eyebrows downcast. The junior sister next to him had already woken up, holding the corner of his robe, and carefully looked at the man coming out of the pool over there.
The old cow and the bullock cart parked in the distance, in the open door, vaguely seemed to have a long oval face inside, looking towards her, grinning, smiling 'kindly', showing a full face
Sharp teeth.
In an instant, the woman's pupils shrank, she tugged at the corner of her senior brother's robe, rolled her eyes, fainted again, and leaned on Yu Feihong's shoulder.
Yun He walked in the forest, observing the rock wall; Yun Long looked at the crazy old man over there playing with the reptiles on the tree. He wanted to go up and ask several times, but the old man avoided him and ignored Yun Long at all.
The crazy old man held up a black-shelled insect with pincers and clamped his fingers. He hung his fingers like "Ouch!" and jumped up and down to Chen Yuan: "Disciple, it's caught in my master. Please help me take a look."
!”
"Master, I am talking to some Taoist priests. I will show you later."
Chen Yuan looked at the long beetle hanging on the old man's finger with a smile, and helped the master to take it off with a smile. She held the beetle's two long tentacles and taught the old man to hold it like this.
"I know my disciples are the best!"
The crazy old man showed off the black worm to others with a smile on his face, which made him look even more honest. He walked in this world in a muddle-headed way, and was driven away, scolded, and even threw shit at him. It wasn't until he met his apprentice Chen Yuan that his life changed.
Gradually settled down.
The confusion of the past finally left him, and he lived carefree all day long. Occasionally when his thoughts were calm, he asked his apprentice why he was so nice to him.
Chen Yuan would always say: "Meeting you is the greatest blessing for me as a disciple. Of course, I have to give the best thing to my master."
The crazy old man is heartless, but he also likes this sentence the most.
…
"Taoist Priest Yuchen, and everyone from Juling, before you came here, Master Zhenhai from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and I had already entered this cave..."
Chen Yuan pointed to the monk who was meditating under a tree in the distance. Only then did everyone realize that there was someone else there. When they heard that they had inexplicably transformed into a little person and entered the country of Lilliput by mistake, they then accidentally entered the cave.
Even though I have been practicing Taoism for many years, this interesting adventure is somewhat surprising.
Amidst the continuous conversation, Duan Jiqing walked through a place with his hands behind his hands and asked casually as he walked: "Did fellow Taoist find anything in that cave?"
"It's no different from the cave in Yongxiang. They are all clay pots with children's bones inside. Some of them are still fresh." Chen Yuan turned his face sideways and talked about what was going on inside. From the corner of his eye, he was also paying attention to the man from the north of Canglan Jianmen. He had only come into contact with the head of the courtyard, named Xu Qingfeng, and was dubious about the people in the mountain gate. He didn't know who this person was at the moment, and what his temperament was, so he felt a little wary.
Then Chen Yuan asked: "Chief Duan, I wonder how Senior Xu is doing. That time when Luo Du said goodbye, he left in a hurry and didn't say more words to him. I feel it is a pity."
"Junior Brother Xu stayed at the door. I heard that he came out a few times and gained a little, so he went to practice behind closed doors."
"I see. If I had known earlier, I should have asked Senior Xu for more advice on cultivation."
Chen Yuan said with a smile. Taoist Priest Yuchen opposite him watched the conversation between the two with quite satisfaction. When he received the people from Canglan Sword Sect, he was still worried when he came here, and he kept warning him along the way. , focusing on the overall situation, now it seems that even if the words on both sides are dull, at least they can still communicate, and I feel a little more relaxed.
"Okay, once this matter is over, fellow Taoists can come to Canglan Sword Gate at any time, and Duan is also welcome."
Duan Jiqing also laughed, stroking his beard and walking past the trees. Occasionally, his fingers lightly scratched the tree trunks, leaving deep marks without leaving any trace.
As he walked around, he stared closely at the backs of Yuchen, Yunlong, and Yunhe who were talking to each other. He slowly raised his hand and took the hilt of the sword.
"Brother!"
At this time, a figure rushed over from the side, which startled Duan Jiqing. He saw the crazy old man in ragged clothes holding a beetle. He curiously looked at what he had scratched on the tree, and suddenly grinned, "Yeah~" Voice.
"What are you doing? Can you teach me what you are doing? I will give you this insect. Please teach me how to scratch the tree."
"Okay, look at the marks on the tree first."
Duan Jiqing said with a gentle smile that he didn't care about this crazy old man, he just said something casually, his eyes still lingering on the back of the talking figure.
When the crazy old man looked at the scratches on the tree with his hands folded, he suddenly felt something. He looked back and saw Duan Jiqing holding his hand on the hilt of the sword. He followed his line of sight and saw his apprentice. He turned around, a little confused. He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"what are you up to?!"
Suddenly, a chill surged from the bottom of the other party's eyes. The crazy old man immediately reached out to hold down Duan Jiqing's hand, shook his messy hair, and shook his head: "You can't... hurt my apprentice!"
"Get out of here!" Duan Jiqing shouted.
In the forest with dappled sunlight, birds spread their fins and flew away from the branches. The moment the branches and leaves fell on Chen Yuan's shoulders, overwhelming murderous intent swept over him.
Two figures were confronting each other in the distance. The old man in ragged clothes was pushed to the ground. Astonishing sword intent surged out. There was a "clang" sound and the resounding echo of the sword being unsheathed.
A sword flies into the sky, and the heavenly sword reaches the sky!
Duan Jiqing raised his sleeves and brushed them away, swiping his fingertips violently, the sword light was strong, the air around him surged and rolled back, and the green sword in his hand tore like a strong wind, turning into an afterimage.
A shocking moment.
"Disciple!" the crazy old man got up from the ground and shouted, running out.
Yunlong, Yunhe, and Yuchen turned their faces. Yu Feihong and the elders of Juling Mansion also looked over. Lao Niu looked over. Zhenhai under the tree opened his eyes slightly. Chen Yuan took off the fallen leaves from his shoulders and raised his head.
His eyes arose.
The sword roar tore through the wind and turned into a roar.
From the oxcart in the distance, four green lights shot up into the sky. The moment they fell, a ragged figure was already blocking the front. He pressed the sword with both hands and forcibly closed it in his palms.
"Don't hurt my apprentice..."
The green sword kept shaking, advancing inch by inch, and the flesh of both palms burst. The magic sword penetrated the old man's chest without any hindrance. Poof! Blood flowed out from the body, and specks of blood fell to the ground, staining the fallen leaves red.
"Master!!" Chen Yuan's eyes were wide open, he stood up and rushed over.
"...Don't hurt my apprentice!!!"
The crazy old man's lips trembled slightly. He looked at the astonished Duan Jiqing opposite him, opened his lips, opened and closed his teeth stained with blood, and roared: "Don't hurt my apprentice!"
The old man's eyes were red, and he closed half of the sword, resisting the impact of the magic sword, and pushed forward step by step, "Hit my apprentice, I will kill you -"
As soon as his hands went wrong, the green sword made a twisting sound and broke into two pieces. One piece was inserted into the old man's chest, and the other piece collapsed and flew out.
"Ahhhh!!"
The crazy old man almost went crazy, black smoke burst out from his body and exploded in all directions. Duan Jiqing was directly knocked several feet away by the smoke, hit the mountain wall hard, bounced back, sat down on the ground, and sprayed
Spit out a mouthful of blood.
The fierce smoke gradually dissipated, and the old man leaned back with half of the broken sword.
Chen Yuan rushed over, his eyes bloodshot, and he rushed over.
"Master!"
Yunlong and Yunhe all stood up and ran towards the mountain wall: "Duan Jiqing, how dare you!!!"
"Canglan Sword Sect doesn't keep its word!" Yu Chen also shouted.
Zhenhai stood up slowly under the tree, looked at the fallen old man, and bowed his head: "My Buddha is compassionate!"
When he raised his face again, he looked like a King Kong with angry eyes.
This afternoon, a stab in the back struck everyone's heart.
