Twenty years have passed since the confrontation between the two venerables in the Sea of Ghost Souls.
Twenty years.
Xingluo has undergone tremendous changes.
The two biggest things were the death of Master Fuyao.
Venerable Chuiyun unified the two sects of Tianpeng and Kunyun.
The sect's flag was changed and the sect's name was changed to "Kunpeng Sect". After integrating the two sects with great magic power, Master Chuiyun announced his retreat, vowing to refine the inheritance and attack the late stage of divine transformation.
The Kunpeng Sect suddenly became a transcendent force in the Xingluo Sea, and no Xingluo monk dared to compete with it. Even if there was no big move yet, it was just a slow expansion, which was already squeezing the surrounding sects into something unbearable.
The East China Sea Dragon Clan huddled in the East China Sea and did not care about the loss of their territory.
The Beast Controlling Sect has been gradually declining since its defeat a hundred years ago, and it has even lost its vigor in recent years. Even if it can maintain its current foundation in the end, it is probably because the Kunpeng Sect looks at the Eastern Wilds Beast Controlling Sect, otherwise it will be annexed by the Kunpeng Sect sooner or later.
.
As for the internal problems within the Kunpeng Sect, there are many.
After all, the two sides have a matter of spiritual practice, which must be resolved by the ancient Kunpeng inheritance.
Fortunately, from the same sect, even if there was a bloody storm, under the control of His Holiness, he did not go out of his way. In the past twenty years, if it is said to be a seclusion attack, how can it be said that it has not eliminated the sect's stagnation.
Taiyi Sect remained quiet.
This was a good opportunity.
Taking advantage of the chaos between the two sects, it took more than a hundred years for the Five Domains to be digested and the sect's structure had just been stabilized. If you rush to expand the territory, it will drag down the thriving sect because the front is too long.
.
This day.
A barefoot monk wearing a milky white robe and a three-beaded flower crown walked into the Patriarch Hall.
The bronze wick in the Patriarch's Hall was burning beautifully, and the swaying light of the fire illuminated the Patriarch's Hall exceptionally brightly. It also illuminated the face of the man who was holding the incense, bowing down, and slowly getting up.
The man threw away the fragrant open flame.
All he could see was that the light was extinguished, and the birds and clouds were misty in front of him.
Wave your hands to clear away the clouds.
Taiyi placed three pillars of incense into the incense burner in front of the jade statue.
Look up.
The jade statue has no specific appearance.
Even the clothes on his body seemed to have undergone unknown changes under the smoke and clouds.
After Taiyi added incense to the jade statue, he took off his storage ring.
Holding the storage ring, Taiyi pointed at the copper lamp in the distance. The white jade was crystal clear. He gently shook the ring in his hand and took out the Liuhe Prism, the precious mirror, the bell, the armor, the refining tripod, the broad sword, and the magic weapon.
robe,……
At a glance, the Lingbao was divided into nine parts by him.
"Junior brother, please offer a stick of incense."
Taiyi sighed softly.
"good!"
The voice echoed from Taiyi's side, and along with the rolling black and red steam, a figure in black and red Taoist robes walked out of the fog.
He was tall, with red hair at the top, and his robe was made of dark gold threads, with black and red as the main color. His face became increasingly pale against the background, but it was not sick at all, and instead seemed to be made of jade.
Tu Shanjun stepped forward, held incense and paid homage, offering the incense respectfully.
Look up.
The jade statue seemed to move at this moment.
This is something he has long been accustomed to.
This jade statue is quite miraculous. Not only can it call for the inheritance to appear, but the inheritor will also take the initiative to explain it to monks who seek Taoism.
It is not clear what grade of treasure the jade statue is, but it is definitely not simple, otherwise it would not be one of the Zhongzhou Sect's most important treasures.
"I have divided the relics into nine parts and passed them to my nine disciples. Please take care of one or two of them." Taiyi looked at these spiritual treasures that accompanied him in his battles, with infinite sadness in his eyes. He pointed.
Liuhe Lingfang said: "The secret of puppet manipulation is in it, and I plan to pass it on to Qian Fei."
"Qian Fei has contributed to the sect, but his talent is a bit weak. Fortunately, he works hard and has a chance to become a Nascent Soul monk."
"The armor should be left to Xu Zhao, the head of the general affairs, because his cultivation is weak..."
"..."
Taiyi counted them one by one.
"Ahem."
There was a coughing sound, and Taiyi knew that he had vomited a lot of blood without opening his handkerchief.
After talking in this circle, he finally looked at Tushan Jun and smiled: "You and I have been fighting for many years, and today we can be considered successful. When you and I first met, in order to discuss important matters and create a sect together, we introduced our junior brother."
"Of course I know that brother is for Yi Nuo back then."
"I also have the idea of tying my brother to the chariot." Taiyi said with a smile.
Tu Shanjun said: "It's mutual success. Without your life, senior brother, my path cannot continue."
He had known for a long time that without the banner master to continue the path, his path would be impassable. It is true to say that it was for the promise made back then, but it was also based on many considerations, and he did not just join the sect on a whim.
Taiyi waved his hand: "I won't say any more polite words. Now that I don't have much life left, I will no longer accompany my junior brother in the battle. Junior brother needs to walk the next road by himself."
"You are a pure monk, and your talent in cultivation is ten times that of mine. Even Venerable Chuiyun is not as good as my junior brother."
A low table was set up, Taiyi sat down cross-legged, and motioned for Tushan Jun to take a seat as well.
Then he poured wine for Tu Shanjun.
"After I leave, junior brother, don't limit yourself..."
Just about to continue saying something.
Just listen to a click.
The blood fell on the wine bottle along the lips and bloomed into blood flowers, dyeing the originally amber spirit wine with a layer of brilliant red. Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and drank it indifferently.
"After I leave, there will definitely be a crisis for my junior brother. If necessary, we can abandon the car to save the commander."
After saying this, a crack appeared on Taiyi's face, but his eyes did not waver. He gritted his teeth and said: "The sect is important, but if you don't even have your life, what's the use of having the sect."
"After I leave..."
Bang.
Originally there was only one crack, but now it is cracked into countless pieces like porcelain.
Just as Tu Shanjun was about to deploy his body-protecting energy, Taiyi refused.
"Is this all I can do after all?"
Taiyi raised his hand and turned to look at Tu Shanjun: "Maybe I have all his memories and complete personality, and I try my best to do my best, but I am not him after all."
Taiyi grinned, not at all regretful or gloomy, but as if his shackles had been removed.
"At least, I've been here!"
"I'm done."
Taiyi let out a long breath.
He raised his arms and looked at the tiny khaki-colored hairs. His skin was about to collapse like porcelain, and all the original suppression was naturally fully revealed.
The secret backlash came again.
His mind seemed to be in a mess.
However, his expression didn't change much.
Taiyi took off the three-beaded flower crown on his head and placed it on the table eucalyptus.
"treasure."
Wow!
The moment the voice fell, Taiyi's skin completely turned into smoke and disappeared in front of Tu Shanjun.
What replaced it was a long-snouted monster with khaki hair all over its body. The monster looked like a human and a dog. It was dressed in a white robe and barely maintained the shape of a human.
Tushanjun said nothing as if he had expected it.
"Master, is he gone?"
The humanoid monk who looked like a man and a dog asked softly.
"Um."
Tushanjun nodded.
The humanoid monster's eyes burst out with blazing light, and it stared at Tu Shan: "Am I like him?"
"picture."
"It's so similar!"
Ah Fu then smiled and looked around, as if looking for the figure that just existed.
However, he will always be disappointed. There are only two people here, from beginning to end. There were two just now, and there are two now. How could he find someone who does not exist at all.
Ah Fu was stunned on the spot.
Its body can no longer be maintained.
Tushanjun stood up.
He walked to it and sat down cross-legged.
The khaki-colored puppy curled up in a ball nestled against Tushang Jun's lap.
Tu Shanjun quietly picked up the melon seeds on the low table, peeled them open with his hands, took out the nuts in the melon seeds and handed them to the native dog leaning on his legs. The native dog raised his eyelids with difficulty, and gently stuck out his tongue to pick up the nuts.
Sweep away.
One person and one dog.
Be quiet.
Ah Fu seems to have returned to his carefree days.
At that time, as long as it snuggles next to its owner, the owner will peel the melon seeds for it.
Its owner is a monk with extraordinary splendor.
Ah Fu closed his eyes, and the figure of his master appeared in his mind again.
There was the Netherworld. The barefoot monks in white robes were gentle and looked at the chessboard in front of them with a smile. The breeze blew by, blowing the white robes of the monks and their flying long hair.
But he died.
It didn't want him to die, so it took his place and fulfilled his last wish.
"Is it similar?"
Ah Fu didn't ask again.
It has already received its answer from Tushanjun.
For it, it is enough to be able to imitate the image.
Tushanjun peeled open the melon seeds.
Pass the nuts over again.
But it didn't come for a long time.
Raise your hand.
Change pinching to grasping.
Bah!
The kernel passed through his palm and fell to the ground.
Tushanjun tried to catch it, but he couldn't catch it.
I can only stare blankly.
His face didn't change at all.
As usual.
Expressionless.
As the black and red steam swept across, Tu Shanjun's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a soul flag about 10 feet long standing next to the low table, and leaning on the side of the soul flag was a khaki-colored puppy.
The native dog seemed to be asleep. The hair on its body gradually melted away, and its body continued to shrink, until it finally turned into a jade doll no bigger than a palm.
…
The elders guarding the Jade Palace suddenly stood up.
Their expressions changed drastically.
Even though I had anticipated it, I was still shocked when it happened.
Sadly:
"Ancestor,"
"The immortal has passed away!"
Bell and Drum Tower.
Long cry.
Inside the Jade Palace.
Yu Long suddenly stood up.
I have to rush to the Patriarch Hall in a hurry.
At this time, Wu Rong also stood up and walked to the Patriarch Hall.
Everyone followed.
Only the three-inch devil's eyes were wandering wildly, and he slowed down his pace. How long would it take if he didn't run now?
While Taiyi is dead, the old devil can't control him, so he must escape. Otherwise, when a new flag bearer appears, he will become the old devil's prisoner again.
"The ancestor has gone away."
"The sect must be stable."
Arriving at the door of the Patriarch Hall, Yu Long turned to look at everyone: "I am the next sect leader appointed by Master. No one is allowed to enter the Patriarch Hall without my order!"
