Low roars came from all directions. On the plains two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain, more and more strange beasts from southern Xinjiang appeared and gathered. Some monsters kept roaring towards the sky. Mixed in among the beasts. There are also six or seven monster beasts that are particularly huge in stature, far exceeding the ordinary beasts around them. They are standing in the group of beasts and turning their heads and roaring. The beast monsters around them seem to be particularly afraid of them.
It was misty and rainy, and the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. Gradually, some bright lights began to flash through the clouds at the edge of the sky. After a while, there was finally a rumble of thunder.
The dark world, the unspeakable vicissitudes of life.
Lightning flashed across the sky, reflecting a strong shadow. The huge bird demon that had just returned from the city of Heyang fell from the sky. With the peripheral vision of the lightning, the beast demons all saw two people grasping the big bird's claws. For a moment, Hundreds of beast monsters from far and near roared loudly, with a powerful and terrifying force.
Huge wings fluttered in the wind and rain. The big bird hovered over the herd for a while. Suddenly, its claws loosened and the two figures fell down like stones. Although the figures were tumbling in mid-air, they did not move. They struggled like dancing, but looked very stiff. It must be that halfway through, these two poor people could no longer withstand the strength of the giant bird and monster, and died under these two giant claws.
The roars of the beasts on the ground suddenly rose to a high pitch, and the sounds of gnashing teeth came one after another. In a moment, at least dozens of beasts jumped up and pounced. In the desolate rain, only a few spots of blood were faintly visible, and finally disappeared.
The giant bird hovering in the sky screamed twice and flew again for a moment. Then, as if it had discovered something, it folded its wings and fell from the sky, deep into the dense herd of beasts. Just when its huge body was about to land, Suddenly, the broad wings spread out again, making a "hoo" sound, and the strong wind blew several beasts nearby below him to the ground, screaming "woo woo".
A strong wind blew, and the giant bird just flew over the herd of beasts. Along the way, countless beast monsters lowered their heads and dodged in awe. Occasionally they encountered a few equally powerful monster beasts, and they seemed to glare at each other. Don't show weakness. The giant bird is flying all the way, its body is rising and falling, sometimes passing over the head of the beast monster, or flying over the branches of trees. Sometimes when it encounters a huge and unbelievably terrifying monster beast like a colossus, it will It also passed directly under the giant monster.
The wind and rain were swaying, and there were thunder and lightning in the sky. The figure of the giant bird in the wind and rain seemed like duckweed floating. Finally, it screamed again and fell from the mid-air.
It was the deepest part of the group of beast monsters, amidst the darkness of strange beasts. Under the light of lightning in the sky, an oilcloth umbrella suddenly appeared. A few peach blossoms were painted on the green umbrella, gently floating in the wind and rain. drift.
The giant bird landed next to the umbrella, and then he could see clearly. It turned out that another wooden stick was tied to the handle of the umbrella, lengthened, and then inserted between a rock. At this moment, under the umbrella A young man wearing gorgeous silk clothes was sitting, holding a wine pot and a glass in his hand, and was pouring himself a drink. Next to the young man, the evil beast Taotie, who looked a little sleepy, was lying on the rock. At this moment, he saw a giant bird After falling, Taotie just opened his eyes slightly, took a look, and closed them again.
The surrounding beasts roared uneasily, and the giant bird fell to the ground, croaked twice, waved its huge wings, and immediately fanned out more than a dozen beast monsters in the original place. For a while, there were screams and screams, but
But no beast monster dared to come up to challenge. The giant bird glanced around, looking arrogantly, as if it disdained these beast monsters, then turned its head to face the young man, and in a moment, it
He seemed to be particularly respectful.
"Quack, quack, quack..." Facing the young man under the umbrella, the giant bird croaked for a while. The young man seemed to understand the bird's language and nodded slowly. The giant bird chirped a few more times, then stood there. After a moment
It stretched out its beak to clean the feathers on its body. The rain all over the sky had already soaked its whole body. After cleaning it for a few times, it quickly gave up and looked up at the night sky, slowly
The head shrank into the wings to avoid the wind and rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The young man drank one glass after another without stopping. He only occasionally lost his mind and stared into the distance for a moment. Then he lowered his head silently and drank again. But no matter how many strong drinks he drank, there was never a look on his face.
Not the slightest bit drunk.
Finally, the pot of wine was finished, and it slipped gently from the hand in the wind and rain, and fell on the muddy ground. The young man slowly stood up, and the beast monsters around him stirred, showing extremely fearful expressions. But that
In the eyes of the young man, these countless ferocious beasts seemed to be nothing, and he did not take them to heart at all. In his eyes, he only stared at the sky silently, with dark clouds and heavy wind and rain.
Taotie let out a low cry and stood up beside him.
The young man was silent, turned around and patted Taotie's head gently, and then said for a long time: "Do you feel lonely too, Taotie?..."
Taotie roared, but no one knew what it meant. The young man looked up at the sky, and for a long time did not say a word.
At the top of Qingyun Mountain, on Tongtian Peak, the heavy rain that had been falling all night was still falling continuously. The people of the Righteous Path, headed by the three major sects of the Righteous Path, were gathering in the Yuqing Palace to discuss, and the voices of arguments sounded from time to time. And the people at the top were at the top.
The three masters on the throne, Qingyun Sect Daoxuan Zhenren, Tianyin Temple Puhong, and Fenxiangguyun Yilan, were also discussing something in a low voice.
Worried about the demon catastrophe.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside the Yuqing Hall, and everyone was startled. They saw Xiao Yicai, the eldest disciple of the Qingyun Sect, walking quickly into the Yuqing Hall. He paused briefly, nodded to the righteous people around him, and then walked quickly.
He walked straight towards Master Daoxuan and whispered in his ear.
Everyone looked at these two people and saw that the expression on Xiao Yicai's face was serious and unusual. As he spoke, Daoxuan's originally serious face lost even a trace of smile, and the rest was solemn.
Gradually, everyone's hearts began to rise, and they vaguely felt that the inexplicable pressure was gradually coming to this place.
After listening to Xiao Yicai's words, Master Daoxuan glanced at him and asked in a low voice. Xiao Yicai nodded silently with an affirmative expression. Master Daoxuan took a deep breath and nodded. Xiao Yicai turned around silently and stood in front of Daoxuan.
Behind the real person.
Master Puhong and Yun Yilan next to them also looked over at this moment. Master Puhong recited Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, the head of Daoxuan, is there news about beast monsters?"
Master Daoxuan nodded and stood up, causing a stir among the people in the audience.
Master Daoxuan calmed down, and a look of determination gradually appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Fellow Taoists, we have just received news that a large group of beast monsters has appeared in the wilderness two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain. They will be there soon.
will come, and traces of beast monsters have begun to be found sporadically outside Heyang City at the foot of the mountain."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately caused a commotion. Suddenly, panic, fear, anger, sighs and other expressions appeared on everyone's faces. The catastrophe that had been weighing on everyone's hearts for many days finally came to a close.
Master Daoxuan looked at the expressions of everyone, pressed his hands, and the noise of the crowd slowly subsided. When the surroundings calmed down, Master Daoxuan said loudly: "Everyone, the catastrophe is right in front of you, and the number of lives in the world depends on me.
When we have a battle with these monsters, all of you here are all righteous and enlightened people who want to make a living for the world. In the future battle, you and I should do our best. As the saying goes, if the mind of heaven is at ease, there must be no unstoppable path for mankind.
Although these monsters are rampant for the time being, they will not last long."
Among the crowd, there was silence for a while, and then some people said: "That's what the real person said."
"Don't worry, real man. There are so many masters here. If we work together, it won't be difficult to defeat that beast!"
"Exactly, exactly..."
For a moment, they seemed to be inspired, and everyone's expressions slowly began to become relaxed and happy. After all, there are still three sects here, as well as these masters. Going further away, on Qingyun Mountain, there are also
The legendary invincible and invincible Zhuxian Sword Formation, looking at the confident expression of Master Daoxuan, what is there to worry about?
Under the gaze of countless righteous people, Master Daoxuan smiled slowly, said a few words to everyone, and then walked back to the inner hall of Yuqing Hall with Master Puhong, Yun Yilan, Xiao Yicai and others.
Once out of the sight of everyone, Master Daoxuan's face suddenly became heavy, and the expressions of Master Puhong and Yun Yilan were also not relaxed. The group of people walked to the secluded room in the inner hall, and Xiao Yicai followed at the end and closed the door.
.
Master Daoxuan turned to Xiao Yicai and said, "Yicai, please tell me the details."
Xiao Yicai nodded and said: "Yes. The disciple inspected Heyang City at the foot of the mountain and received rewards one after another in one day. Especially at the head of Heyang City, the disciple saw a huge bird demon appear with his own eyes. His appearance was consistent with the rumors these days.
Among the middle beast monsters, one of the thirteen monster beasts, 'Shura Bird', is very similar."
Master Daoxuan and the other two masters looked at each other with heavy expressions on their faces. Xiao Yicai said solemnly: "In addition, other junior fellow students who secretly explored the surrounding areas have reported back and found sporadic traces of beasts and monsters, especially in the southwest.
The area two hundred miles away is the most densely populated, but the disciples who investigated the few junior disciples two hundred miles away have been waiting for a long time, but there has been no news about them."
When Xiao Yicai said this, his face gradually turned gloomy, Master Daoxuan had a sullen face, while Yun Yilan next to him sighed, and Master Puhong chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.
Master Daoxuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said to Xiao Yicai: "It seems that it is not wrong. The beast monster is indeed here, Yicai." He looked at his most beloved disciple and said: "You go down the mountain again.
On one trip, he informed all the disciples who were scattered around for investigation to shrink back and stay within a hundred miles around Qingyun Mountain. Remember to remind them not to cross the border without authorization, let alone take action against beasts and monsters, to avoid the risk of happening.
Accident."
Xiao Yicai nodded, as if he was remembering something again, and said: "Master, what about the people in Heyang City?"
Master Daoxuan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Master Puhong and Yun Yilan. Master Puhong folded his hands and lowered his head. Yun Yilan said calmly: "As of now, Master Master is taking the lead in everything. Please ask Master Master
That’s the decision.”
Master Daoxuan nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then he pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Yicai: "This matter is indeed difficult, but Heyang City is too dangerous, and we really can't go down the mountain to guard the people now. You can go down to the river immediately
Go to Yang City, lead all the Qingyun disciples in Heyang City, and tell the people in Heyang City to go north as soon as possible, at least to cross the Qingyun Mountains. The biggest target of those beast monsters at the moment is the righteous way on our Qingyun Mountains, not those
People, this may ensure temporary safety."
Xiao Yicai was startled for a moment, but looking at the expressionless face of Master Daoxuan, he finally nodded silently and said in a low voice: "Yes, the disciple will go now."
Master Daoxuan said: "One more thing, please inform the other leaders of Qingyun's six meridians as soon as possible and come to Tongtian Peak immediately. I want to see them immediately to discuss something."
Xiao Yicai nodded and said: "It's a matter of course. Disciple will go immediately."
Master Daoxuan sighed and said: "Be careful along the way, go ahead!"
Xiao Yicai nodded and retreated.
"Huanyue Cave Mansion?" Zhou Xian was startled, his brows furrowed, and a rare serious look appeared on his face. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Why do you ask this?"
Gui Li said calmly: "You have always been well-informed. Suddenly I was very interested in this cave, so I asked you, how much do you know about the Huanyue Cave?"
Zhou Yixian glanced at Gui Li and saw that he had a calm expression on his face. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking in his mind. He looked unfathomable. At this time, their group was still in Heyang City, but at this moment
However, the atmosphere in Heyang City has been completely different due to the arrival of the huge strange bird monster last night. The original worries finally turned into facts. The panic-stricken people were under the weight of panic. More people have already
On the verge of collapse, I often see people talking nonsense and shouting loudly on the street, acting like lunatics.
Yiyi Xian withdrew his gaze, changed his thoughts in his mind, and said slowly: "You, are you trying to do something inexplicable?"
The eyes of Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist fell on Gui Li. Xiao Hui on Gui Li's shoulder seemed to have sensed something. He grinned at them and made a face. Gui Li said calmly: "What do you think I can do?
?”
Yiyi Xian gave a dry laugh and said: "Actually, I don't know much about Huanyue Cave. This cave was not famous to begin with. It was only because the Qingye Patriarch was in seclusion and enlightenment in it thousands of years ago, and at the same time the Ancient Sword of Killing Immortals appeared in it.
It is famous all over the world, but over the years it has only been used as a collection place for the ancient sword Zhuxian, and only the head Qingyun can enter it, so the reputation has gradually faded."
Guili said: "Oh, is there anything else?"
Zhou Yixian hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't care what you want to do, but you'd better not go to that place."
Gui Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
Immortal Zhou Yi sighed and said: "It's not like you don't know your current identity. The Huanyue Cave is an important place in Qingyun Mountain. If you go to Qingyun Mountain and are discovered by someone... don't forget that Qingyun Mountain is at this moment."
, there are tens of thousands of people on the right path, if your identity is exposed, you will not be able to escape even if you turn into a bird."
Gui Li said coldly: "That's my business, just tell me about the Huanyue Cave."
Zhou Yixian shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Young people today are really impatient...Okay! The cave is named Huanyue because it is said that on a bright moon night, there are colorful and colorful rocks in front of the cave, like a dream.
, but more importantly, there are actually inherent differences in the cave. After entering, it will be like falling into a dream. Those who are not determined will be deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves. Their whole practice of Taoism will be ruined in one day.
"
Gui Li was startled for a moment and said: "What, there is such a thing?"
Zhou Yixian snorted, looked Gui Li up and down, and said, "I advise you not to have any wishful thinking. If you enter the Huanyue Cave, you will only die."
Gui Li sneered and said, "How can you see it?"
Zhou Yixiandao: "I know you are dissatisfied, and I know you have a tough temper, but let me tell you the truth." His face slowly became solemn, and unexpectedly he had a calm but powerful aura. He said in a deep voice: "The so-called ambition
Determinedness has nothing to do with your temperament. From my point of view, your life has been full of ups and downs, with countless sorrows and worries in your heart. If you fall into an illusion, I'm afraid it will inevitably arouse your worries and make you unable to extricate yourself."
He paused and seemed a little hesitant, but after pondering for a moment, he finally said: "Also, the magic weapon you carry is a very dangerous and evil thing, and the blood essence in your body has long been integrated with the blood-devouring beads and other demonic powers.
, these monsters in that illusion are even more harmful than helpful to you, so I advise you to give up on this idea."
Gui Li looked at Zhou Xian as if he was seeing this person for the first time. He stared at him silently, but Zhou Xian also looked at him calmly. After a long time, Gui Li didn't even look at him and slowly turned around.
At this moment, there was another commotion in Heyang City. A large number of Qingyun disciples appeared on the streets of the city and shouted something to the people on the street. Zhou Xian and others were shocked and squeezed over to listen carefully. It was Qingyun disciples who announced
Everyone, the beast monster is about to arrive, and Heyang City is already extremely unsafe. Let the people go north, at least until they pass through the Qingyun Mountains.
Zhou Yixian had a bitter look on his face after hearing this, shook his head and sighed, turned to Xiaohuan and the others: "Oh, it's going to be bad now, I don't know... Hey, where is that guy Gui Li?"
Xiao Huan and Taoist Wild Dog were both startled, and turned around quickly, only to see nothing behind them, and countless crowds of people, but Gui Li could not be seen anywhere.
The sea of people was vast and the voices were noisy. Standing in the crowd, Zhou Yixian frowned and shook his head. Xiao Huan beside him was silent and just looked into the distance. After a long time, he sighed softly. There seemed to be something in that voice.
