Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.
After crossing the black mountains and entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Gui Li felt that he had entered a truly wild and primitive world. In fact, in the Demon Cult, wildness originally refers to an uninhabited place in the extreme northwest of the vast land of China.
A vast area, most of which is the Gobi Desert, barren of any vegetation. Even if there is life, it is an extremely tenacious relic of the wilderness, hence the name. And the legendary temple of the Demon Cult is somewhere there.
, but Gui Li has never been there.
But the world in front of us is obviously completely different from the legendary wild land. In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, not only is there no grass growing, it is simply overgrown with weeds. Along the way, there are vast tracts of virgin forest, and there is simply no place to stay.
, any piece of land seems to be crowded with plants competing for living space. And behind the endless forest thorns, there seems to be endless poisonous and evil beasts. In the darkness around you, there always seems to be malicious and ferocious creatures.
His eyes are spying on you, waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on you, wanting to kill you and turn you into a delicious meal.
For people like Gui Li and Jin Ping'er, these ordinary poisons are naturally not a special threat, but when they come endlessly, they are really a headache. Although they can fly in the air, once they come to this primeval forest,
In the sky, miasma and poisonous mist will rise at some point; secondly, although their Taoism is profound, they still need some rest after all, but they are harassed by these outsiders, but there is almost no sign of stopping.
After a few days, it seemed that even the monkey Xiao Hui started to become restless.
In addition, in addition to the harassment of these poisonous mist beasts, the weird weather in Shiwanda Mountain is also quite uncomfortable. It is completely different from the Middle Earth zone. There is no process of cloud gathering, sky change, etc.
The rain here almost always comes. It starts out with a clear sky, but in the blink of an eye it rains heavily. When it wants to stop, it stops right away. One moment there is lightning and thunder, and the next moment it is cloudless.
Stunned and speechless.
And the timing of the rain seems to be completely unpredictable. It can be as short as a moment and a half, or as long as it lasts for several days. It is impossible to predict at all.
At this moment, the two of them were walking in a black forest shrouded in continuous rain.
The reason why the two of them did not use magic to fly in the air was because when they planned to do so, they discovered that in this strange place, even when it rained, there was still a strange black air rising above the black forest. On the contrary
, on the contrary, the air on the land under the forest is relatively normal.
Gui Li and Jin Ping'er were both figures who had been immersed in the Demon Cult for a long time, and their eyesight was also very important. They naturally knew the importance of it. After discussing it, they were willing to be more cautious and walked through the black forest.
This forest is like many primeval forests in the Shiwandashan Mountains. Fenxiang Valley, a monastic community with long-lasting trees, has naturally become the best place for many righteous disciples who are not familiar with the local geography to visit and ask for advice. Therefore, Fenxiang Valley has been changed
It was peaceful in the past, with an endless flow of people, and I saw people coming in and out every day.
It was under such circumstances that on this day, three people came to the gate of Fenxiang Valley, one man and two women. They were Zeng from Fenghuifeng, Wenmin from Xiaozhufeng, and Lu Xueqi from Qingyun Sect.
Naturally, the three of them were not the only disciples of the Qingyun Sect who came to Southern Xinjiang. In fact, the Qingyun Sect was known as the number one righteous sect in the world at this time. It sent countless disciples of the younger generation, but several of the best among them failed to come.
, in addition to a few people such as Qi Hao who have already assumed important responsibilities in the sect, Xiao Yicai is also unable to escape because there are fewer Daoxuan masters than directors recently, and the affairs on Tongtian Peak are complicated, and most of them are taken care of by him; as for Lin Jingyu, this
However, he insisted on staying in the ancestor's ancestral hall. It was said that he was keeping vigil for a certain senior Qingyun who had a deep affection for him, and he could not come.
Among the remaining people, Zeng and Lu Xueqi were the leaders. Zeng was nothing. His father, Zeng Shuchang, came to Southern Xinjiang after a few words of explanation. However, Lu Xueqi's coming this time was more tortuous. It is said that Master Shuiyue did not have the original intention.
He didn't want to let him go out, but later he changed his mind for some reason, but specifically asked Lu Xueqi's senior sister Wen Min to come with her. However, there was an advantage to Wen Min coming, that is, there was one more person to talk to along the way. Otherwise, Wen Min came with him.
Zeng was originally a monkey-like and active person, but if he only got along with the frost-like Lu Xueqi, at the end of the day, nine out of ten sentences Zeng would say would be to himself, and the remaining one would probably be Lu Xueqi impatiently telling him to go away.
of.
Along the way to southern Xinjiang, Zeng got along quite harmoniously with Wenmin. The three of them discussed together, and Zeng suggested that no matter what, as fellow disciples of the Righteous Way, when they came to southern Xinjiang, they should go to Fenxiang Valley to visit. However, Lu Xueqi seemed not to
I didn't want to, so I expressed my opinion lightly, saying that it's not like I've never been here before in southern Xinjiang, and I probably know how to get there, so there's no need to trouble others.
Zeng and Wenmin knew it well, and they expected that Lu Xueqi still had knots in her heart. On that day, at the Yuqing Hall of Tongtian Peak in Qingyun Gate, she publicly refused the proposal of Yun Yilan, the owner of Fenxiang Valley, to his favorite disciple Li Xun, which greatly hurt Yun Yilan and his wife.
Daoxuan's face was so important that he naturally did not want to interact with the people of Fenxiang Valley anymore.
However, after several discussions with Wenmin, Wenmin still persuaded Lu Xueqi to come over and show off, otherwise she would not look good in front of the teacher in the future. Lu Xueqi hesitated again and again, and finally agreed.
The three of them came to the entrance of Fenxiang Valley. The three of them were already famous, especially Lu Xueqi, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world. Since the rise of the younger generation of Qingyun Sect, her fame and appearance have become even more famous all over the world.
.For Fenxiang Valley, Lu Xueqi probably had more meaning, so when the three of them appeared at the entrance of Fenxiang Valley, they were almost immediately recognized by the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.
After the initial shock, there seemed to be some excitement, but then someone quickly stepped in to report back, and several people immediately came up to greet them. The first person smiled and said, "Ah, it's really rare for Senior Sister Lu to come to Fenxiang Valley. These two
You are also a senior brother and sister of Qingyun Sect, please come in."
Zeng glanced at Wenmin from behind, secretly stuck out his tongue and made a face, thinking that this Lu Xueqi was indeed so famous that even an ordinary Fenxiang Valley disciple recognized him at a glance, and he and Wenmin obviously
She is the kind of passerby who follows behind a beautiful woman.
Neither of them were angry, and Zeng was even smiling. He was laughing and joking with the Fenxiang Valley disciples along the way, and heard them laughing from time to time. Wen Min, who was walking behind, smiled softly to Lu Xueqi beside him:
"Junior sister, look at Junior Brother Zeng, we just met him, but he can become so familiar with him. It's really amazing."
Lu Xueqi looked ahead and put her hand on the Fenxiang Valley disciple's shoulder. She smiled lightly but said nothing.
Soon, they were led by the Fenxiang Valley disciples to the Fenxiang Valley Mountain and River Hall. Above the hall, Yun Yilan was sitting on the main seat with a smile, waiting for them. Obviously in the eyes of the Fenxiang Valley Master,
The weight of these three master disciples of Qingyun Sect is completely different from other sects.
Even so, Zeng, Wenmin and the other three people are not ignorant people after all. They know Yun Yilan's identity and status. It is quite condescending to receive them in person. At that moment, the three people hurriedly stepped forward. After seeing Zeng, they said:
"Senior Yun, why did you meet me in person? It was supposed to be a visit from the juniors. It's really a shame to kill all the juniors."
Yun Yilan smiled slightly, with a very kind expression on his face, and said with a smile: "What kind of words are you talking about, nephew? I have been friends with your uncle Daoxuan Zhenren, and your father Zengshu Changzeng for more than a hundred years.
How could you be so polite? How are you two?"
Zeng said respectfully: "Everything is going well with my uncle, the master, and my father. Both elders wish me well. I will definitely come to see Uncle Yun when I get to southern Xinjiang."
Yun Yilan laughed and nodded: "It's been a few days since we said goodbye to Qingyun. I really miss some of my old friends." As he said that, he smiled and looked behind Zeng, his eyes on Wenmin.
Turning around, he immediately landed on the face of Lu Xueqi, who looked indifferent.
As if feeling Yun Yilan's gaze, Lu Xueqi looked up and saw Yun Yilan looking at her with a smile, and there was another person standing next to him, but his face was full of complicated expressions, and there seemed to be a trace of a bitter smile.
, and it also seemed to me that it was Li Xun.
Lu Xueqi was silent and lowered her head slightly.
Yun Yilan smiled slightly, looked away, and said with a smile: "Why are you guys still standing? You and I have an extraordinary relationship. We are a family. Come and sit down."
Zeng and others confessed their sins and sat down in the lower room.
Yun Yilan talked to the three of them again. After learning that Wenmin, like Lu Xueqi, was a disciple of Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhufeng, he asked a few more questions about Master Shuiyue. Wenmin answered them one by one, and then
, Yun Yilan started talking to Zeng again. From the beginning to the end, he seemed to know that Lu Xueqi was unwilling to speak, and did not ask Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi was also happy and relaxed, sitting beside her without saying a word.
However, the other Fenxiang Valley disciples in the Shanhe Palace, including Li Xun who stood next to Yun Yilan, spent most of the time lingering on Lu Xueqi intentionally or unintentionally. The woman in white as snow, with her cold temperament, seemed to
There was a strange magic power that made the bright spots in the entire palace quietly gather on her body.
Over there, Yun Yilan asked Zeng with a smile: "After the battle that day, Brother Daoxuan defeated the Beast God for the people of the world and turned the tide. His merits are immeasurable. But when I left Qingyun, his injuries seemed to be still there.
I’m not well yet, but I wonder how Senior Brother Daoxuan’s health has been lately? He is now the leader of the righteous path, and he is well-received by everyone!”
Zeng smiled and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Yun. Everything is going well for the Master, Uncle Master. As long as the people in the world can escape the disaster, it doesn't matter if the Qingyun Sect suffers a little."
Yun Yilan's smile became more and more kind. He picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and took a sip. Then his eyes flickered slightly, as if he suddenly thought of it unintentionally. He smiled and said: "By the way, I heard a rumor recently that it happened that Xian Xian
My nephew came here recently and just wanted to ask you."
Zeng smiled and said: "Uncle Yun, please tell me, this disciple must tell you everything he knows and tell you everything he wants to say."
Yun Yilan nodded, another light flashed deep in his eyes, and said slowly: "I heard by chance recently that during the Qingyun War that day, after Brother Daoxuan defeated the beast god and monster, there was actually a fight on Qingyun Mountain, and the final result
, there was news that the Qingyun Sect’s supreme treasure, the ‘Ancient Sword of Zhuxian’, was broken and damaged, is this possible?”
As soon as these words came out, the entire Shanhe Palace was filled with solemnity, and there was no sound at all. However, Zeng, Wenmin, and Lu Xueqi stood up at the same time, their faces changed color, and they looked at Yun Yilan. The other Fenxiang Valley disciples,
Including Li Xun, they also looked at Yun Yilan with stunned expressions.
Only Yun Yilan seemed to be fine. It seemed that what he was asking just now was not a major event that affected the world, but a very ordinary trivial matter. He gently picked up the tea cup and took another sip of tea.
Then, he kindly and gently smiled at the three people of Qingyun Sect and asked: "Is that true?"
