.

The setting sun hangs far away in the sky, behind the tall, steep and rolling mountains, spreading its remaining warmth to the southern land. The dim light falls on the silent land, and the wilderness is desolate and solemn.

After leaving Fenxiang Valley, Gui Li and Jin Ping'er stood on the wasteland in front of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Facing the seemingly endless towering mountains and vast land, they seemed to be just two inconspicuous little creatures.

Looking up at the huge existence between heaven and earth, watching the setting sun on the other side, setting little by little behind the boundless mountains, the sky slowly dimmed.

Between talking and breathing, when the stars are passing by, who else can beat the time?

It was Gui Li's suggestion to leave Fenxiang Valley. However, I accidentally overheard the conversation between Yun Yi Lan and other three people in Fenxiang Valley that day. I already knew that there might be some strange method in Fenxiang Valley that could awaken the "Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array", which was a great opportunity.

Opportunity, given the original purpose of Gui Li and Jin Ping'er, they should continue to hide and observe carefully. However, for some reason, Gui Li still proposed to leave Fenxiang Valley with a look of indifference, and Jin Ping'er, who has always been extremely smart,

He didn't seem to have thought about this aspect, but he readily agreed.

After leaving Fenxiang Valley, Gui Li and Jin Ping'er rarely spoke to each other, and they did not discuss how to pursue the next step. However, the two seemed to have some tacit understanding, and they both came south in unison, until today they came to the legendary place.

In front of the terrifying place "One Hundred Thousand Mountains", under the setting sun and black mountains, in the deserted wilderness, the two of them silently stared at the mountain range.

When the wind blows in the wilderness, there is no fragrance of flowers and plants, only the faint smell and roar of an unknown place in the distance. In this place, even the wind beside me seems to be fierce.

Jin Ping'er's hair was gently blowing in the wind. She raised her head slightly, revealing her smooth and slender chin and a white neck. She looked at the distant mountains. The high black peaks were shrouded in thick gray fog.

It is constantly rolling and rolling. Behind these mountains, I wonder what kind of world is there?

Others may be guessing, but something seems to be shining in Jin Ping'er's hazy and complicated eyes.

Unlike the silent and charming woman beside him, even though Gui Li didn't speak much, what he was thinking about along the way was like a turbulent wave, with huge ups and downs.

The first thing was the blood sacrifice, which touched his heart greatly. Although he had killed a lot of people over the years, and even earned the title of "Blood Master" in the Demon Cult, but for what he had done in Fenxiang Valley a few days ago,

What he heard seemed to be an obsession that had been rooted deep in his heart since he was a child. He subconsciously felt repelled and disgusted. Then, from Jin Ping'er's seemingly casual reminder, he suddenly realized that he had always been

Something that I actually ignored: In the Demon Cult, even the Ghost King may be doing something similar to what Fenxiang Valley is going to do...

Taking the blood of countless living people and sacrificing them alive to the gods. Needless to say, this god is naturally a vicious god and a member of the evil god. And the blood sacrifice itself is simply an inhumane and inhumane thing that greatly harms the peace of heaven. However, these things happened in

Beside yourself.

What kind of world is this?

Is it possible that everyone in this world is crazy?

After all, it was the charming and strange young man whom I once met by chance who said: After all, humans are just a kind of beast, and there is no difference.

Gui Li took a deep breath and looked at the distant mountains silently. After hearing the order given to him by the Ghost King from Mr. Ghost, Gui Li had already guessed from the evil beast "Taotie" in the order that he had a double-faced past.

The strange young man he was destined to meet turned out to be the beast god who caused unprecedented disasters to the people of the world.

However, Gui Li didn't know why the beast god wanted to kill everyone in the world, but why he spared him a favor and just talked and parted with him twice.

There is still a vague warmth on his chest. For many years, this faint warmth has been with Gui Li, as if it has become a part of his body. Even most of the time, Gui Li has ignored this warmth. However, for a few

The trip to Incense Valley a few days ago touched something deep in his heart. The jade secret lying quietly on his chest may be the key to this trip to southern Xinjiang!

From the conversation between Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce, it was clearly explained that it was precisely because Fenxiang Valley had lost this piece of essence of all fires that it could no longer activate the Eighteenth Five-Year Plan after losing the volcanic spiritual energy accumulated for hundreds of years.

The Fierce Mysterious Fire Array. And with this Mysterious Fire Mirror, can we find the secret of the mysterious Array?

Gui Li was silent, looking at the setting sun in the distance. The last bit of light finally disappeared quietly.

High on the black mountain peaks, as the last ray of sunlight dissipated, the once dense black fog suddenly began to dissipate and thin, as if it had been stimulated by something.

Jin Ping'er, who was standing aside, smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Okay, let's go."

Gui Li glanced at her and said, "No one has ever heard of the changes in the poisonous mist here in Shiwanda Mountain. How did you discover it?"

Jin Ping'er smiled sweetly, her eyes were charming, teasing, and cunning, and said: "This... I just won't tell you, what can you do?"

Gui Li was startled. Under the darkening sky, deep in the mountains, the woman in front of him suddenly seemed to be emitting a coquettish and beautiful light in the dim world. She was dazzling. With her here, it was unexpected.

, with a different kind of warmth.

At least, you don't have to walk alone in the darkness in the distance.

The corner of Gui Li's mouth moved, but he turned his head and said calmly: "Let's go."

After saying that, Dang went ahead. Jin Ping'er behind him looked at his figure, smiled slightly, his eyes flickered, and followed him gently.

The two figures one behind the other, as well as the monkey lying on the shoulder, and the "squeaking" sounds that came from time to time, slowly melted into the darkness and disappeared.

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Hall.

Thousands of miles away from southern Xinjiang, this holy land of the Immortal Family has just saved the world. The chaos caused by the beast-monster catastrophe was just like the war between good and evil ten years ago. It was quickly and properly dealt with. Tongtian Peak

Most places on the island have restored their original quiet and ethereal scenery, except for a few huge damaged buildings that still need to be slowly renovated, but no one doubts that they will quickly return to their original appearance.

Among all the huge buildings on Tongtian Peak, the most important and gigantic one is naturally the main hall "Yuqing Hall". Compared with other building halls, the damage suffered by Yuqing Hall in that catastrophe was almost

They can all be ignored. It seems that the ancestors of Qingyun Sect are really spiritual and have protected them well.

And at this moment, just when Gui Li and Jin Ping'er were about to enter the mysterious and strange Shiwan Mountain to track down the defeated and fleeing beast god, an explosion broke out in the sacred Yuqing Temple on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain.

A minor quarrel.

The leaders of the Six Meridians of Qingyun Sect, except Changmen Tongtian Peak, rarely gathered in Yuqing Hall again after the catastrophe of beast monsters. But the most important thing is that they came this time and were not summoned by the headmaster Zhenren Daoxuan.

The ones who came were people who came on their own. The person who greeted everyone at the head of the hall was not Master Daoxuan, but Xiao Yicai, who looked slightly embarrassed.

Among the leaders of the Six Meridians, Qi Hao, the leader of Longshou Peak, and Chu Yuhong, the leader of Chaoyang Peak, are both second-generation disciples in terms of seniority. They are the same generation as Xiao Yicai. Naturally, they are not as direct as the other four uncles. Most of them are

During that time, both of them were silent. But the words spoken by the other four branches: Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak, Fenghui Peak, and Luoxia Peak were not so polite.

Tian Buyi, the leader of Dazhu Peak, had the loudest voice among the four leaders. He was seen sitting on a rosewood chair and said coldly to Xiao Yicai: "Master Nephew Xiao, the six of us are here today. Until now,

It's been two hours, why hasn't the head brother come out to see us? In his eyes, are we old guys already so unbearable?"

Xiao Yicai looked extremely embarrassed, with a wry smile all over his face, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Master Tian, ​​you have always been highly respected in our Qingyun Sect, and Master has always valued you. This is why we all

Everyone knows..."

Tian Buyi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, snorted and sneered: "So the head brother values ​​me so much that he doesn't care if I stay here for two hours?"

Xiao Yicai choked for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Tian, ​​the disciple has just said that the master indeed entered the Huanyue Cave for retreat ten days ago and stayed behind closed doors. At present, the matters on Tongtian Peak are left to the disciple.

Take charge on your behalf."

The four elders sitting at the bottom snorted coldly at the same time, obviously not believing Xiao Yicai's words. Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhufeng, who was sitting next to him, said coldly: "Martial nephew Xiao, even though I have been in Xiaozhufeng during these ten days,

However, I have heard many times that the head brother was behaving strangely on Tongtian Peak. What’s more, late at night a few days ago, someone actually heard that the head brother looked crazy and screamed at the sky from the top of the Yuqing Palace.

Is this happening?"

Xiao Yicai immediately shook his head and said: "There is absolutely no such thing, there is no such thing. Uncle Shuiyue must have heard wrong. Master, he is a master of Taoism, the leader of the righteous Tao in the world, and the spirit of immortality. How could he do this?"

Is this such a crazy thing?"

The four chief elders looked at each other, and they all saw that the others were very suspicious of Xiao Yicai's words. Sitting next to the leader of Fenghui Peak, Taoist Priest Tianri, who took over as Taoist priest Tianyun and was the leader of Luoxia Peak, looked innocent.

He was thin, wearing a Taoist robe, and frowned as he said: "Senior nephew Xiao, it's not that we uncles are making things difficult for you, this nephew, it's actually the head brother who is the focus of our Qingyun sect. If he

If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will shake my Qingyun foundation. That's why we must come up and ask you, but don't take it seriously."

At this moment, the heads of the six meridians sat down separately. The main seat in the middle, which originally belonged to Master Daoxuan, was naturally unoccupied. Xiao Yicai was lower than several senior uncles, so he had to stand aside. At this moment, he also smiled bitterly and said: "

Masters and uncles, disciples do not dare to hold grudges in their hearts no matter what. However, the master has indeed gone into seclusion, and he has been given strict orders not to disturb him. It is not Yicai who deliberately obstructed the masters from meeting the master."

Tian Buyi snorted angrily and said: "Stop talking nonsense. In the past few days, the news has spread throughout the Qingyun Sect. The dignified leader's behavior is extremely weird. He is sometimes crazy and confused all day long on Tongtian Peak. If the leader is

Senior brother, he is ill, and we, as junior brothers, must find ways to treat him no matter what, or at least visit him; if he is safe and well, why would he not come out to see us?" At this point, he suddenly raised his voice.

, said angrily: "Xiao Yicai, tell me the truth, what happened to the head senior brother?"

Xiao Yicai trembled, as if he was startled by Tian Buyi's loud voice, but he still had a slight wry smile on his face and remained silent.

Zeng Shuchang, the leader of Fenghui Peak who had been sitting next to him without saying much, glanced at Xiao Yicai, frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Well, nephew Xiao, we old men also know that you have always respected the master and dare not violate it.

Ni, we won’t embarrass you. Now as long as you take us to the place where the head brother is retreating, we can pay our respects to the head brother on our own, what do you think?"

Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment and said nothing, but there was a thoughtful look on his face. Zeng Shuchang turned around and glanced at the people behind him. Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and others all nodded slowly. Zeng Shuchang coughed and slowly

He stood up and said in a calm voice: "Senior nephew Xiao, in fact, we are just caring about the senior brother. We have always respected him very much. Everyone in the Qingyun sect knows about this. Just look at it.

When we arrived at the head brother, we were relieved to know that he was in good health. By the way, we heard that the head brother had been in seclusion recently. According to the old system of Qingyun Sect, there were no more than three places: Yuqing Hall, Ancestral Hall and Huanyue Cave.

, but don’t know that he..."

At the end of Zeng Shuchang's words, his voice slowly slowed down, but he looked at Xiao Yicai. Xiao Yicai's face changed several times. After a while, he bowed his head slightly to Zeng Shuchang and the others and said: "Master, he has been through many changes in recent years because of the changes in his career, so

I often blame myself, and I often go to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of all generations."

Zeng Shuchang frowned and nodded. Without saying anything more, he walked towards the back hall of Yuqing Hall first. Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and Taoist Tianri also followed him. Qi Hao and Chu Yuhong stood up slowly.

When he walked past Xiao Yicai, Qi Hao also had a wry smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Yicai's shoulder. Xiao Yicai sighed and shook his head silently.

※※※

The ancestor's ancestral hall in the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain is still hidden in the deep woods, with only a little bit of cornices revealed among the green leaves of the treetops. Perhaps it is really the protection of the ancestors of Qingyun Sect. In the past ten years, Qingyun Sect has experienced many changes.

Two thrilling disasters did not damage this place.

Just like in the past, looking from a distance, there are faint incense lights flickering in the dark ancestral hall, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
