The night was dark, and the moon was bright in the sky. Silver flying swords cut through the sky like meteors. Following closely behind was a tall and four-winged snake, with scales like cast iron reflecting the cold moonlight. The man in front of him was flying.
The sword flew and led the Snake carrying the three people into the green mountains. Among the lingering clouds and mist, there were faintly visible buildings and high pavilions, with double eaves and roofs covered with silver frost and cold snow - it was the buildings that were frozen by the magic.
Tianxuanmen.
Mu Zizhen's sword fell down and stopped in front of the mountain gate. Ming Snake also landed, and after putting down Xiao Zhu and others, he transformed into a man's body. When the gatekeeper disciple saw them, his eyes lit up and he quickly came up to greet them.
He called out quickly: "Elder brother, you are back!"
Hearing his shout, the other disciples in the square also rushed over. They were all survivors of the Tianxuan Sect disaster that day. The scene where Mu Zizhen took the corpse away from the dust and went down the mountain to find a way to relieve the evil spirit.
They were all witnesses. Now that they saw Mu Zizhen, they were all overjoyed and rushed to tell each other: "Elder brother is back! Brothers and sisters are saved!"
Not long after, Tianyin, a burly, unshaven man in his prime, was the first to rush to the mountain gate. He slapped his palm and landed heavily on Mu Zizhen's shoulder. He just said with a smile, "Okay."
"" suddenly stopped him talking. He looked behind Mu Zizhen, and then glanced at the half iron chain on the young man's left wrist. Tianyin's hearty smile suddenly solidified on his face. It lasted for a long time.
, he sighed, patted Mu Zizhen hard on the back, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go have a drink with our uncle! We won't come back until we get drunk!"
Getting drunk can relieve a thousand worries. This is the trick used by that old drunkard Tianyin. He took a wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and drank a sip of strong wine, and then handed it to Mu Zizhen. Mu Zizhen
He took it with one hand and followed the same instructions. The strong liquor entered his throat, like hot lava, burning his chest, but it did not make him drunk at all. It only made him extra sober.
"Uncle Master," Mu Zizhen returned the wine gourd and said in a deep voice, "Zizhen is back today because he has important matters to discuss."
After hearing what he said, Bi Fei and Lu Ling, who were behind, both stepped forward to salute Tianyin and respectfully called "Uncle Tianyin", while Xiaozhu also smiled and called "Zhenren", which was regarded as
After greetings, Tianyin waved his hand and said to Mu Zizhen, "Okay! Let's have a drink some other time!", and then led everyone across the square and into the main hall of Tianxuan Gate - Yunxiao Tower.
After the last battle, Tianxuanmen no longer looks like the ancient palace with its many buildings, golden roofs and glazed glass, hidden in the green mountains and flowing clouds, reflected in the green water and clear pools. At this time, Tianxuanmen is surrounded by Han Xue.
It is long and full of vastness. The frost technique used by Master Xuanqi has blocked the entire sect. There is white snow everywhere, the green pines are covered with snow, the glazed tiles are covered with frost, and the water in the pool is stagnant and has long been frozen into thick ice.
On the outside, solid ice walls can be seen everywhere, blocking them into transparent cages, imprisoning those Corpse Man disciples who are emitting black smoke and are obviously infected by demonic energy.
Everyone stepped into the Yunxiao Tower and saw seven stone seats carved from bluestone arranged in a fan shape in the main hall. This bluestone was extraordinary. It was collected from the bitter cold places in the far north and is currently placed indoors.
, there is still a chilly air, like smoke and mist. The stone seat in the center, which should have been the seat of Master Xuanqi, the leader of Tianxuan Sect, is vacant at this time.
The first position on the left hand side of the central stone pedestal belongs to an old man who is past his octogenarian age. Not only does he have white hair and a white beard, he also has two long white eyebrows. He is energetic and has a kind face, just like in the scroll.
He is like an old immortal. He is the second-ranked Master Yuanxu among the seven elders, and he is also Mu Zizhen’s mentor. Seeing Ai walking into the temple, the old man stood up immediately, walked to his disciple’s side, and looked up and down.
It seems to be confirming that the disciple is safe and sound.
"Master," Mu Zizhen raised his fists, bowed and said hoarsely, "Junior Brother Juchen...has gone."
Master Yuanxu was immediately stunned. This old man who was nearly a hundred years old, this wise and resourceful man who was known as the top think tank of Tianxuan Sect, now seemed like an ordinary old man. He collapsed unyieldingly.
His shoulders were swayed, his eyes had lost their former brightness, and he could not speak for a long time.
In his life, he only had two direct disciples, both of whom became friends during his travels and regarded them as his own. He never expected that at his age, he would end up with a white-haired man giving a black-haired man.
Seeing Master Yuanxu hanging his head with a sad look on his face, the other elders were also silent. Bi Fei couldn't bear to see this, he dragged his lame leg forward, saluted the elders, and said slowly: "
Dear masters and uncles, please express your condolences and accept the change... I have received advice from an expert and already know the method to resolve the demonic energy, and I hope I can help Tianxuan Sect."
"What's the method?" Master Tianyin asked anxiously when he heard that his disciples were saved.
"It is rumored that there is a blessed place in the Kunlun Mountains, where the aura of heaven and earth gathers together, bathes in the brilliance of the sun and the moon, and gives birth to a pure and spiritual magic weapon - Xuanbing Gourd, which can absorb and purify the turbid air in the world," Bi Fei recounted that day in Bingpo
Hantan, God General Cangming said, "If we can find this mysterious ice gourd, and use it with the method of pure heart to exorcise evil spirits, we will definitely be able to dissolve the evil spirits of the brothers and sisters of Tianxuan Sect and restore them to their original state."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the elders not only did not look happy, but looked at each other in confusion. The third among the seven elders, Master Zishu, who had always been serious and rigorous, frowned and said: "Brother Bi, that place you mentioned
We have also heard of the Kunlun Blessed Land, but when Yinglong Xiangliu fought against the East China Sea, in order to seal the ancient gods and demons, our Tianxuan Sect collected demon spirit inner elixirs from everywhere, and also searched for the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. At that time, there were people living in the cave.
A little fire-type demon panicked when he saw us. He actually released a raging fire and burned the cave completely, and the little demon was nowhere to be found. At that time, we investigated, let alone the magic weapon Xuan Bing.
The gourd and even the rocks in the cave were turned into ashes."
Unexpectedly, the method he finally found was in vain. After hearing what Master Zishu said, Bifei couldn't help but frown. When Gui Haiming beside him heard this, he said two words coldly:
"retribution."
"Bold, what did you say?" Master Yuyi, the last among the seven elders, scolded him angrily.
Facing Yuyi's angry rebuke, Gui Haiming was indifferent and contemptuous, ignoring him and not even bothering to reply. However, Xiaozhu stood up and said softly:
"Master, don't be too quick to get angry. Although Brother Xiao She has put down his grudge against the noble sect, his cave was also destroyed because of the noble sect. It's a bit hard for you to make him lose his temper at all, isn't it?
?Besides, although Brother Xiaoshe just said 'retribution', it doesn't sound right, but it is also true. You get what you sow because of the cause. The cycle of cause and effect means retribution is not good. The life-saving magic weapon that saved the disciples of your sect today is actually cause.
Your sect's effort to collect demon spirits' inner elixirs was ruined. Isn't this a cause and effect?"
Xiaozhu's words made Master Yuyi choke, unable to refute. Not to mention him, even Yuanxu, Zishu and others shook their heads helplessly and sighed sadly.
But when Xiaozhu opened her mouth, she didn't do it to attack others or expose their wounds. She continued: "But as the saying goes, there is no perfect road for everyone. This road will not work. Let's just think of another way. Besides,
Cang...cough, besides, that expert never said anything false. Since he pointed out the path of Xuanbing Gourd, he must have his reason. I believe that Xuanbing Gourd must still be in the world. This real old man
Didn't we talk about the little demon who set fire? What kind of demon is he and where will he escape? Let's follow this clue and search carefully."
Master Zishu stroked his beard and said nothing, his eyebrows were twitching, obviously he was deep in thought and reminiscing. Master Yuyi was the most angry. He was already angry after hearing Gui Haiming's words, but now he was choked by Xiaozhu's words.
, became even more displeased at the moment, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you talking about as an expert? Why should we believe him?"
"Whether you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?" Gui Haiming glanced at Yuyi coldly with a pair of black jade-like eyes. His face was like frost and his voice was like a cold spring.
Not to mention Gui Haiming's temper, even Lu Ling was a little annoyed. She hurriedly stepped forward and said to the real person Yuyi: "Uncle Yuyi, why don't you trust people? I, Lu Ling, still
With Senior Brother Bi, wouldn't it harm the Tianxuan Sect, which we are all in the same spirit with?"
"Bi will guarantee with his life that he will never lie." Bi Fei raised his fists and said seriously.
Without waiting for Master Yuyi's reply, Master Tianyin's throat was heard, like a thunder, interrupting their argument: "That's enough! I tell you, stop arguing! You will know the true and false dharma once you try it. Then
What Xuanbing Gourd, take a look, does it look like this?"
As he spoke, Master Tianyin took off his wine gourd from his waist and threw it into Xiaozhu's hand. Xiaozhu took a closer look and saw that the skin of the gourd was green and white, like jade, with a faint stream of light flashing through it.
The refreshing and refreshing air is indeed unlike anything else.
"Tianyin, where did this come from?" Master Zishu frowned.
Master Tianyin, this unshaven uncle who seemed to be in his forties, now looked like an ignorant young man, scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, I mean, senior brother, when you went to Kunlun,
Didn’t I follow along? I saw a pretty good-looking gourd lying in the hole, so I picked it up and pretended to drink it."
Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and no way out, and there are dark willows and bright flowers in another village. Unexpectedly, Master Tianyin actually threw out such a magic weapon, and everyone was overjoyed. Xiaozhu spread his left palm flat, held up the Xuanbing gourd, then stepped out of the Yunxiao Tower and stood
Standing on the square outside the door, she gently closed her eyes, raised two fingers of her right hand, pinched a magic formula, and recited the refreshing formula to ward off evil spirits:
"I pray to heaven and earth to be sincere in my wishes,
The wind becomes calm, the water becomes calm,
All evil spirits are driven away, and the dirty soul is purified."
Following her soft voice, the gourd's fluorescent light was seen flowing, the green color became deeper, and faint blue light gradually emerged. At the same time, a breeze suddenly rose in the void, and the breeze slowly lifted the corners of Xiaozhu's skirt.
Brushing the broken hair on her temples. The corpse disciples who were imprisoned by the ice wall in the square gradually stopped roaring angrily. A wisp of black smoke floated out from their bodies, and was gradually filled with
The breeze picked up and floated towards the mysterious ice gourd...
"It's working!" Master Tianyin was elated and immediately cheered loudly.
Suddenly, the black mist spurted out, as if it had broken free from the invisible shackles of the breeze, and in a blink of an eye, it rushed back to the corpse man's head with a "whoosh" sound. Seeing that the success was in vain, Master Yin's smile instantly stiffened that day, and the rest of the people present, or
Sighing or shaking his head, there was a look of regret on his face. Only Master Yuyi showed anger. He flicked his fly whisk, pointed at Xiaozhu and said: "Your spell is unheard of. Witch, are you deliberately deceiving me?"
