Before dawn, Yin Shuang came to the square outside the Zidian Sword Sect's mountain gate hall, stared at the sky, and waited quietly.
Wu Jie had already told her his itinerary and asked King Cang Lei to roughly estimate the time of arrival in the Zidian World. So when the day of Wu Jie's arrival came, she came here to wait.
On the lavender sky, the sun slowly rises, slowly reaches the zenith, and then slowly sets towards the west.
More than one person asked her what she was doing, and when they learned that her husband had crossed all the worlds and traveled from the wilderness to the world of purple lightning to find her, they were all amazed. Many people were even sitting beside her.
We waited together, wanting to witness with our own eyes the moment when the long-lost couple reunited.
Time passed very quickly, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye; but time passed very slowly, so slowly that everyone was a little anxious.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, an old man with slightly white temples couldn't help but come over and asked: "Senior Sister Yin, is the time wrong?"
All sects in the world mostly use the time they entered to determine their seniority. Among the disciples of the Zidian Sword Sect, Yin Shuang was the first to accumulate enough merit to become a disciple, so she is the senior sister of this generation. Although she
He is only over 800 years old, and the old man is already over 8,000 years old, but the order of age is reversed.
Yin Shuang found this situation quite strange at first, but she soon got used to it. Over the past few decades, she has become accustomed to the status of senior sister.
When she heard the question from this junior brother who was almost ten times her age, she shook her head and said calmly: "Since he promised to come today, he will come today."
"Perhaps there is something delayed?" another junior sister advised.
"There are not many things that can delay him." The corners of Yin Shuang's lips raised slightly, showing her confidence in Wu Jie, "Unless he is involved in the melee of the Immortal Lord, I can't think of anything that can delay him.
Speaking of this, all the junior brothers and sisters could not persuade her any more, so they had no choice but to continue waiting with her.
But in the main hall of the mountain gate not far behind, the faces of Donghua Sword Lord and Zihua Fairy Lady were not good-looking.
"Elder brother, what are you going to do?" Fairy Zihua asked with a sullen face, "The man is almost here, so you just let him take Yin Shuang away?"
Donghua Sword Lord was silent for a moment and sighed: "The key now is that Yin Shuang is willing to go with him. If he is willing... what can you and I do?"
"At least we have to delay him for a hundred years," Fairy Zihua said, "It's best to delay him for a lifetime."
When she mentioned "a lifetime", a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she obviously had murderous intentions.
For Fairy Zihua, Yin Shuang is the most talented apprentice she has encountered in hundreds of thousands of years, and the only one who has the hope of achieving immortality and inheriting her own legacy. She asks herself that she is not very sure of attacking the cave.
If she failed, she would die. If she didn't pass on her lifelong experience, she would really die with her eyes open. So even if her apprentice would hold a grudge for the rest of his life, she wouldn't care so much.
The worst case scenario is that I will be lost by my apprentice in the future. Anyway, as long as my apprentice is stronger than me and my lineage can continue to advance, then that’s fine. We can’t have both worlds, so if we have to choose one, the inheritance of the Taoist tradition will naturally be the most important thing.
So when she learned that Yin Shuang's husband had traveled through all the worlds and trekked from the wilderness to this place, she was moved and admired, but also more murderous.
Donghua Sword Lord frowned. Although he had a fierce and ruthless personality, he did not have the urgency of his junior sister's immediate interests. To him, Wu Jie was just an unrelated person who came from afar, and he inexplicably took advantage of a billionaire.
Killing an affectionate man who traveled a long way to find his wife was not in line with his habits.
When Fairy Zihua saw him like this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart - her senior brother's cultivation and combat prowess were nothing to say, but he was really not that good at dealing with people. If Senior Brother Taihua were here, he would probably have nodded immediately.
.
Do we still need to consider whether outsiders or fellow disciples are more important?
But Donghua Sword Master is not like that. He is a purer person. For him, his own likes and dislikes are the most important, and the rest is just a cloud - he is almost carved from the same mold as Zidian Sword Master.
Like, exactly the same.
Among the three true disciples of Zidian Sword Master, Tianhua Sword Master is a martial arts idiot. He really has nothing but his sword. If you dare to disturb him with these "mundane things", he will probably draw his sword and chop him.
You; Donghua Sword Lord is willing to spend time on mundane things, but he obviously lacks the talent in this area - of course, for a monk, the talent of practicing and teaching disciples is the most important, other talents include
Of course it's good, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it.
In fact, it would be best if the long-sleeved Taihua Sword Master, who is good at dancing, becomes the leader. However, the relationship between Taihua Sword Master and the direct line of Zidian is not good. His ideal is to make the Zidian Sword Sect bigger and stronger, so for this reason,
We must try our best to maintain fairness between the direct lineage and the guests - this will of course harm the interests of the direct lineage, even if those "interests" are purely excessive privileges in the eyes of people like Wu Jie.
Fairy Zihua is a direct descendant of Zidian. The reason why she was able to reach the peak of Yangshen with not very outstanding qualifications and is only one step away from the realm of Dongxu is due to the various privileges she obtained as a direct descendant. Taihua Sword Lord
The reforms would shake her privileges, so she supported Donghua Sword Lord without hesitation.
If Wu Jie were to know this, he might sigh, or he might feel dumbfounded - it is precisely because Zihua Fairy's backer is Donghua Sword Lord that he has hope of taking Yin Shuang away peacefully; if at this moment the Zidian Sword Sect
If the leader is Taihua Sword Lord, he really has no other option except asking Senior Cang Lei King for help.
Donghua Sword Lord was deep in thought when suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked into the distance through the palace door.
I saw the Purple Lightning Sword Sect's mountain-protecting formation flickering with light, and two figures slowly descended, landing just outside the mountain-protecting formation.
Then, a gentle and clear voice came slowly: "Wu Zhifei, I would like to pay my respects to the seniors of the Zidian Sword Sect and fellow Taoists. I wonder if Jing Yinshuang is here?"
Yin Shuang had already stood up when she saw the familiar figure. When she heard his voice, she couldn't help but smile like a flower, and ran straight towards the outside of the mountain protection formation.
Hearing Wu Jie's words and seeing Yin Shuang's reaction, everyone in the Zidian Sword Sect still didn't understand what was going on or who was responsible. Suddenly, people started cheering, applauding, whistling, and stamping their feet...
After a while, the square became a commotion.
"Eldest Brother" Fairy Zihua was a little anxious and her tone became serious.
Donghua Sword Lord looked at his junior sister, then at Yin Shuang who was running towards the outside of the mountain guard formation, and sighed.
"Then let's stop him first."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and the mountain-protecting formation flashed with purple light. Yin Shuang's figure suddenly disappeared, but a long stone staircase appeared in front of Wu Jie.
"What does this mean?" Wu Jie was stunned and looked at Hande.
Han De shrugged irresponsibly: "Let's show off. If you don't want to suffer this loss, the only thing you can do is..." He laughed twice but did not finish his words.
Wu Jie frowned, looked at the long stone steps that reached into the clouds, and then walked up.
He knew that he would encounter a lot of trouble if he wanted to take Yin Shuang away, but he didn't expect that he would be troubled before he could even get in.
Hande did not follow him, but stood outside the mountain protection formation and shouted to him: "I just found a place to rest. If you want me to lead the way, send me a message Feijian."
Wu Jie waved his hand to show that he understood. He kept running one step at a time along the stone steps.
His figure simply turned into a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye he walked from the foot of the mountain to the clouds.
In the Zidian Sword Sect's mountain gate square, all the disciples who were cheering just now looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent. Many people turned back to look at the main hall, showing expressions of contemplation.
"Second senior brother, could it be that the acting head means..."
"Hush, don't say it, don't say it."
"My little brother understands, but what does this mean? This is inconsistent with the tradition of our Shenmen. Shouldn't we..."
"Don't tell me how many times you want me to repeat it."
"...I understand, brother. Thank you for reminding me, senior brother."
The two monks who were standing next to Yin Shuang whispered to each other in a low voice using the sound transmission method, then shook their heads and left.
Another rough man frowned and stood on the edge of the square, staring at a white cloud in the mountain-protecting formation.
That was Wu Jie. At this moment, he had stepped into the mountain-protecting formation. He was trapped by the formation and running wildly on an endless stone staircase.
No matter how fast he ran, it was actually meaningless. Because the road was basically a circle. No matter how fast he ran, he would just circle around the entire Zidian Sword Sect's mountain gate.
The rough man frowned, staring at the cloud that was getting faster and faster, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
He is a casual cultivator who has been wandering around the world for thousands of years. He has fought thousands of miles with the sword in his hand. He has always followed the principle of crispness and quickness, doing things happily and hates those sneaky tricks. At this moment, the Purple Lightning Sword Sect is using this method to
Stopping Wu Jie made him very angry.
A man has traveled through all the worlds and gone through countless hardships to find his wife, why should he be stopped?
Even if you want to stop him, just draw your sword and chop him to death. Why do you need to play such boring tricks?
Of course, if Wu Jie heard the complaint in his heart, he would probably say: "Today is not the right day to draw a sword and kill people. This boring trick is better than drawing a sword to kill people."
However, Wu Jie didn't hear the complaints in the big man's heart now. He was running fast while thinking about what was going on.
Obviously, the Zidian Sword Sect did not intend to let them pick up Yin Shuang easily, so they tried to stop them. But for some reason, they did not seem to be very determined, so they used
used this method.
Wu Jie has extraordinary attainments in magic, and has two powerful advisers, Jasmine and Ye Hong. Naturally, he has already figured out what is going on with the endless stone steps under his feet. He is currently deducing carefully in the world of the Book of Heaven.
, looking for ways to break through.
To be honest, he could definitely use violent methods to defeat the barrier. The power of the purple electric sword sect's mountain-protecting formation must be very strong, but if Wu Jie uses the fighting method, he wants to fight in the formation.
The hole is not that difficult.
However, the consequences of doing so are more troublesome. Wu Jie is not the kind of person who is single-minded. When he has a choice, he still hopes to use milder methods.
Both Han De and King Cang Lei once said that when dealing with Shenmen, you have to be more ruthless and being unreasonable is not a problem. Although Wu Jie took their words to heart, he did not want to use those ruthless methods so quickly.
At the very least, you should be polite before fighting.
His figure became faster and faster, gradually turning into a stream of light, quickly spinning around the mountain gate of the Purple Lightning Sword Sect. But no matter how fast he flew, he was always within the mountain-protecting formation and could not move forward even one step.
Fairy Zihua looked at this scene and finally showed a smile.
"That's fine. As long as we let this kid understand that we don't welcome him, maybe he will give up.
"The idea is good." Donghua Sword Lord shook his head, "But it's not practical."
"Could it be that Senior Brother saw something?" Immortal Lady Zihua was startled and asked hurriedly.
Donghua Sword Lord sighed: "He will rush out soon."
Before he finished speaking, a loud roar rang out from the mountain-protecting formation. The cloud that had been rotating around the mountain-protecting formation suddenly stopped, and then swam gently like a fish, and actually penetrated the circle like this.
The defensive line that could not be broken through the loop was penetrated into the second layer of the mountain protection formation.
Donghua Sword Lord showed approval, but he still waved his hand. The mountain guarding formation flashed with light, and two closed doors appeared in front of Wu Jie.
The door on the right is red, and you can feel the terrible heat contained in it from a distance, making it impossible for people to get close; the door on the left is dark, as deep as the sea, but it makes people feel fearful.
"What kind of method is this?" Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, and instead of rushing forward, he asked in a low voice to everyone in the World of the Book of Heaven.
"It should be another level of restriction, but I don't know what type it is." Jasmine said, "But it should be a choice between two, the two paths are different - with your ability, master, the door on the right is completely different for you.
It’s not difficult.”
"Yes, it's just playing with fire. Fourth, are you still afraid of playing with fire?"
Unlike Jasmine Du Ruo, Ye Hong looked at the two doors carefully and suddenly said thoughtfully: "I can't believe that this Purple Lightning Sword Sect actually still has the methods of the former Zhengyi School."
"The right one?" Wu Jie was stunned and hurriedly asked what happened.
"There were three generations before and after the Taoist sect, the Taiping Tao, the Zhengyi Tao, and the Taishang Tao. You know this, right?"
"Of course, every inner disciple of the Yujing Sect must memorize the history of the Taoist sect. If you are not familiar with it, you will be punished with solitary confinement."
"Taipingdao is too old, so we won't talk about it; Zhengdao was created by the ancestor of Zhengdao before he joined the Tao in the past. It combines talisman, sacrifice and practice into one, which can be said to be a grand sect. And the two gates on the left and right let
I remembered the legendary method used by Zhengyi to test his disciples." Ye Hong smiled and said, "Left Heart Pass, right Fire Pass."
Wu Jie frowned slightly and asked, "Excuse me, what is going on with the Left Heart Pass and the Right Fire Pass?"
Ye Hong nodded with a smile and explained in detail.
It turns out that in the past, Zhengyiyi had very strict control over his disciples. Whenever a disciple wanted to go out to the mountains to practice Taoism, he must walk through the two passes on the left and right to verify his cultivation. The two passes on the left and right are the Left Heart Pass and the Right Fire Pass.
There are dense illusions in Zuoxinguan, and there are also secret methods referenced from the demons outside the territory, which can stir up the disciples' thoughts. However, any disciple whose thoughts are not pure enough, his will is not strong enough, and his mind is not clear enough, will definitely be distracted by it.
Trapped by the devil, he lost his clarity in a daze, and finally fell into a drowsy sleep. The test of the right fire pass is the magic power. If the magic power is not strong enough, he will be burned by the infinite flames and fainted by the terrifying high fever. The same is true
Unqualified.
Precisely because of the tests on the left and right, every disciple of Zhengyiyi has extraordinary strength. He rarely suffers any losses when traveling in the world, and Zhengyiyi has gained a huge reputation.
"But I really didn't expect that the Purple Lightning Sword Sect, as a divine sect, would actually refer to the methods of Zhengdao." Ye Hong shook his head and smiled, "If the founder of the divine sect, Weiwei Daozu, knew about it, I'm afraid he would shake his head and sigh.
"
Wu Jie was silent for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.
"In that case, let me pass through the right fire pass."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, ignoring the scorching heat, and walked straight to the red door, raising his hand to push it open.
As soon as the door opened, blazing flames spurted out, trying to engulf him whole.
But once the fierce flames touched Wu Jie, they suddenly disappeared, and he walked straight forward along the red passage behind the door without hesitating.
As they moved forward, the fire became more and more intense, but wherever Wu Jie walked, the fire intensity became much smaller.
In the world of the Book of Heaven, Jasmine couldn't help laughing as she watched the endless flames flow into the volcano.
"This is simply a dish delivered to your door. If you don't have a good meal, I'll be sorry for myself."
Wu Jie also kept walking forward with a smile on his face.
This time, it only took him less than a quarter of an hour to walk out of the entire fire barrier - in fact, the fire barrier was at least ten times as long, but in the main hall of the Purple Lightning Sword Sect, Donghua Sword Lord was already shaking his head.
This test ended early.
He is also a person who knows the goods. Seeing that Wu Jie has the means to collect flames, how can he give Wu Jie the infinite flames accumulated by his sect in vain?
"You have passed the second level," he whispered. "If you can even pass the third level, then I will allow you to come in."
"Just allow him to come in," Fairy Zihua hurriedly advised, "We must not let him take Yin Shuang away easily."
"Of course," Donghua Sword Lord smiled, "If you want to take away the talented disciples of our Shenmen, just passing three levels is not enough."
Wu Jie did not hear their conversation. At this moment, he was standing at the door of the third level, looking at the huge stone wall, silent.
This third level was an extremely huge and solid wall, blocking his way in the simplest and most unpretentious way.
