The green woods are still as dense and vibrant as before. A light morning mist is floating in the woods. You can see leaves and branches everywhere, and on the petals of wild flowers in the grass, there are crystal dewdrops in the breeze.
Trembling gently in the distance, there are clear and melodious chirpings of birds coming from the depths of the dense forest. Listening to your ears makes you feel refreshed both physically and mentally, as if you are in a fairyland.
In this worldly resort, a Taoist wonderland, a short and fat figure slowly appeared on the forest path. It was Tian Buyi.
It seemed a bit incongruous with the surrounding beautiful scenery. Tian Buyi's face looked a little solemn, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and his face seemed to be worried. There was no one around him at the moment, which also seemed a bit strange. Although Tian Buyi was a Dazhu
The leader of the peak is one of the most important people in the Qingyun Sect, but it is obviously a bit strange for him to secretly come to the ancestral hall behind the Changmen Tongtian Peak.
There were no Qingyun Sect disciples guarding the mountain road. Along the way, there was no sound. Amidst the breeze and the chirping of birds, Tian Buyi turned around the famous three-way intersection and gradually saw the majestic cornices deep in the dense forest.
"when"
I don’t know where the sound of bells and drums came from, coming from the direction of the front mountain and echoing at the top of Qingyun Mountain
The empty space and the fluttering echo made Tian Buyi stop silently, look back and look out
Heaven, earth, sky, sky is blue and infinite
It seems that nothing has changed in thousands of years
Tian Buyi's expression gradually calmed down, he stood silently for a while, then turned around again and walked towards the ancestor's ancestral hall.
The empty stone steps were displayed in front of him. The ancestor's ancestral hall remained unchanged, like a sleeping giant sleeping gently, lying in the embrace of the forest. The door of the ancestral hall was still open, and it was still dim inside, even the deep darkness.
There are some incense candles everywhere, as if they are also sleeping, everything is so quiet
However, outside the ancestral hall and under the stone steps, there was a young man standing with his back to Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi frowned and walked over.
Hearing the footsteps, the young man seemed to be surprised. He didn't expect that someone would come to this place at this time. Tian Buyi quickly turned around to face the man. Both of them were startled. The young man
The man is Lin Jingyu
Tian Buyi immediately remembered that he had heard from his disciples in the past that Lin Jingyu had been guarding the ancestor's ancestral hall. It was said that he was keeping vigil for someone. However, no one seemed to know who that "someone" was, but Tian Buyi
Naturally, he was not in the mood to think about this at the moment. He and Lin Jingyu did not have a very good relationship. The two looked at each other, but neither spoke immediately, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.
Finally, Lin Jingyu coughed and whispered: "Uncle Tian, why are you here so early?"
Tian Buyi glanced at him, and then moved his eyes to the darkness inside the ancestor's ancestral hall, and said: "Why are you standing outside the ancestral hall early in the morning when I'm looking for someone?"
Lin Jingyu's expression changed slightly, and a bitter smile seemed to flash across his face. He glanced into the ancestor's ancestral hall, but did not answer. Tian Buyi said calmly: "Is there someone inside? Is it the head senior brother?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and said: "Yes, the head master is above the main hall. He ordered me to wait outside. Without his summons, no disciple on Tongtian Peak is allowed to enter."
Tian Buyi snorted and said coldly: "I remember that you are a disciple of Longshou Peak. Why did you come to Changmen Tongtian Peak to guard the gate for Senior Brother Daoxuan?"
Lin Jingyu's face turned pale, he lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Tian Buyi ignored him, raised his legs and stepped onto the stone steps. Lin Jingyu was startled, took a step forward and said, "Uncle Tian, what are you doing?"
Tian Buyi said calmly: "When I came here, I naturally wanted to go in. I want to talk to the head brother about something."
Lin Jingyu frowned and said: "Uncle Tian, the master uncle has said that he doesn't want to see anyone. Without his permission, everyone under the Tongtian Peak sect can be summoned."
"I'm not a disciple of Tongtian Peak." Tian Buyi coldly interrupted Lin Jingyu's words.
Lin Jingyu choked and was so choked by Tian Buyi that he was speechless.
Tian Buyi didn't say anything, and walked up the stone steps towards the ancestral hall. Lin Jingyu moved, as if he wanted to stop him, but then stopped. Looking at Tian Buyi's short and fat body, his eyes sparkled.
Stepping into the tall gate, a faint scent of sandalwood immediately hit the face, and a huge shadow gently poured out from the depths of the hall, gently blocking the light that was still there just outside the ancestor's ancestral hall.
Tian Buyi stood there for a moment, and then slowly walked deeper inside. As the footsteps slowly rose and fell, the expression on his face seemed to be slowly changing.
Huge, red-painted pillars stand in an orderly manner in the main hall, supporting the majestic hall. Yellow curtains hanging from the ceiling dome hang quietly beside the pillars, among which
Many of them look a little shabby, and in the eyes, it seems that there is a sense of vicissitudes, revealed from the aging yellow color.
The past time seems to be frozen here
It was very quiet in the ancestral hall, and almost no sound could be heard. Only his footsteps echoed in the silent shadows around him. Behind the huge altar table in the distance, countless incense sticks were bright and burning quietly, just like mysterious and weird eyes.
eyes, staring at the figure shuttled in the shadow of the palace
After turning around the thickest pillar in the hall and walking behind the low hanging yellow curtain, Tian Buyi finally stopped.
There was an open space in front of him. There were three rows of futons on the ground, seven in each row. On the futon in the middle of the first row, there was a familiar figure sitting there, motionless. In front of the futon, there was a
The huge altar table was filled with fruit offerings. In the middle was a large incense burner, but it was very strange. There were only three sticks of fine incense sticks inserted there, and light smoke slowly floated up.
Through the smoke-filled altar table, in the deep darkness behind the table, countless spiritual tablets can be vaguely seen. Each one seems to have writing on it, and they are placed neatly on the spiritual tablet in the shadow.
Tian Buyi's face slowly became heavy with a hint of respect. Facing the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of Qingyun Sect, his eyes first stayed on the once familiar figure for a moment, and then he walked up silently.
Master Daoxuan's body moved slightly, but he did not look back.
Tian Buyi walked slowly to the altar table, looked at the countless spiritual tablets shrouded in shadow, took a deep breath, then took out three sticks of fine incense from the incense bag next to the incense burner, and carefully lit a candle next to it.
After ordering, take a step back, stand three feet in front of the altar, respectfully hold the incense and bow three times.
The place where Master Daoxuan made the futon was only six feet away from the altar table, but the dim light in front seemed to be unable to reach him. In the dim shadow, he slowly raised his head, and saw Tian Buyi's figure with his back facing him.
standing in front of him
In the depths of darkness, suddenly, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the depths of the netherworld, a "sudden" sound rose up. Two rays of light flashed instantly, almost at the same time. Like an invisible ghost howl, the sound wave passed through the hall. All the incense candles and lights, except for
Except for the three incense sticks in Tian Buyi's hand, all of them lit up.
Tian Buyi had finished paying homage. He took a step forward and was about to put the incense into the incense burner, but his body suddenly stopped. Even the hand holding the incense stopped in mid-air.
In the main hall, there was a dead silence for an instant. The two figures, standing and sitting, seemed to be frozen, motionless. The yellow curtain in the distance seemed to be slightly fluttering a few times as if a breeze was blowing through the main hall.
down, and slowly stopped again
Outside the ancestor's ancestral hall, Lin Jingyu was frowning in deep thought, but suddenly he felt something. He raised his head and looked into the depths of the quiet and dim ancestral hall, with a faint look of surprise on his face.
In a trance, this palace, which was once a peaceful sleep, was like a waking monster, coldly opening its eyes.
※※※
I don’t know how long it took, but the mysterious will-o’-the-wisp in Master Daoxuan’s eyes suddenly disappeared again. It came and went as fast as the strange eyes slowly closed, and the originally solemn hall suddenly relaxed.
The surrounding candlelight gradually lost its brightness and returned to its original glimmer.
The fine incense in Tian Buyi's hand was still burning thinly. Three tiny points of incense were looming in the darkness. Just as the fine incense trembled, a white catkin-like incense ash fell gently and landed on Tian Buyi's face.
on hand
Tian Buyi's face was indifferent. He glanced coldly at the incense ashes on the back of his hand. He stood silently for a moment, shook his hand slightly to shake off the incense ashes, then took a step forward and respectfully inserted three fine incense sticks into the incense burner.
Six fine incense sticks were lit in the incense burner at the same time, and the light smoke floated and curled up.
Without saying a word, Tian Buyi bowed three times to the spiritual throne, then slowly turned around and faced the figure sitting on the futon on the ground.
"Senior Brother Daoxuan," he looked deeply at the man, his eyes somehow filled with surprise, grief and anger, and a hint of pain, and he said slowly, "We meet again."
Most of Daoxuan's face was trembling and shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see clearly. He seemed to turn a deaf ear to Tian Buyi's words and didn't react at all. He just sat there quietly.
Tian Buyi stood and looked at him for a moment, without saying anything, but the expression on his face became more and more serious. He moved the corners of his mouth slightly, took steps, and walked to the side of Master Daoxuan. He was far away from him.
He also sat down on another futon less than three feet away.
Above the main hall, there was silence
※※※
Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains, scorched black peaks
Along the way, the gloomy ghostly howls became louder and louder, and the sinister wind blowing from nowhere also whined non-stop, blowing on people like knives. If Gui Li and Jin Ping'er weren't both profound, they would have been alone.
The howling of ghosts and the cold wind are enough to drive people crazy.
It was just that the gloomy atmosphere around them was getting stronger and stronger, and the two of them became more and more cautious. However, until they reached the bottom of the valley and reached a place where they could see the deep and dark entrance of the Ancient Demon Suppressing Cave from a distance, there was no one there.
Faced with any danger or ambush, this place full of mountains and plains, almost like a ghostland, is surprisingly quiet. Not to mention the absence of ferocious beasts and monsters, even the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that have been seen everywhere since entering Shiwan Mountain are nowhere to be seen.
This gloomy place actually seems to be the safest place among the barren mountains and rivers of Shiwandashan.
Gui Li and Jin Ping'er stood on a hill and looked at the ancient and deep cave from a distance. They could still vaguely see the stone statue standing at the entrance of the cave.
Both of them frowned slightly. At this moment, the unexpected calmness brought them great worry.
Jin Ping'er pointed to the entrance of the cave and said: "That's the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave. When I followed the man in black and came here, I saw the Beast God resurrected from this cave with my own eyes.
"
Gui Li nodded slightly, and then looked around the cave. He saw that except for the bottomless dark cave entrance, the cave was surrounded by vertical cliffs. The strange rocks were hideous, and the top of the cave was ten feet high.
, there is a thick layer of black clouds close to the stone wall, slowly flowing in the air, like water clouds. Looking at the thick black color, it goes without saying that it must be a highly poisonous thing. At a glance, ordinary people are definitely incapable of it.
Everywhere you can go is a place of death
Withdrawing his gaze, Gui Li pondered for a moment and said, "Shall we go in?"
However, Jin Ping'er showed slight hesitation. After being silent for a while, he finally nodded and said: "Well, we are all here, how can we hold back? Let's go."
Gui Li glanced at her and saw that Jin Ping'er had a strange expression on her face and her face was a little pale. Apparently she still had some scruples about the mysterious cave. In fact, it wasn't just her, but even the little monkey on Gui Li's shoulder.
Hui, seems to have changed his temper at this moment and seems particularly quiet.
As if she felt something, Jin Ping'er turned around, looked at Gui Li, suddenly smiled, showing her beautiful white teeth, and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about anything, just go over."
Gui Li nodded and walked first. Jin Ping'er followed behind him and walked slowly towards the ancient cave of suppressing demons.
The sound of footsteps stepping on the hard black rock was quickly drowned in the howling wind. The closer we got to the entrance of the ancient cave, the stronger the biting wind became, and the colder air contained in the wind became stronger.
It's cold
At this moment, both of them had discovered that the source of the cold wind all over the mountains and plains was blowing from that ancient cave.
As we got closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, the surrounding light seemed to gradually dim. More and more of the light was blocked by the black clouds approaching the entrance of the ancient Zhenmo Cave. It seemed that such a place was not
Allowing light to enter
And the stone statue standing at the entrance of the deep cave, facing the depths of the cave, finally gradually appeared clearly before their eyes.
This section of the road was not very long, but to the two of them, it seemed like they had walked for a long, long time. When they finally stood at the entrance of the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave, the sky had completely dimmed. It had been warm not long ago.
The sunlight shining on them has completely disappeared above the dark clouds.
Gui Li slowly turned to the entrance of the cave and stood in front of the female stone statue.
Dim light shines on her body
Thousands of years of wind and frost have slowly carved the initially soft and beautiful smoothness into roughness. In the ever-changing years, how many eyes have stared at your face so lightly and quietly?
Time rolls forward like water in a long river, never stopping for even a moment. The first touches, the first memories, and the countless strands that have been deeply engraved in the heart, it turns out that they will still be forgotten after all.
Only a trace of the legend was left, and after a long time, it was mentioned inadvertently by future generations.
The beauty you once had, the heroism you once had, turn into ashes in the face of time.
The cold wind passed over the skirt of my clothes and blew on my body. Maybe the gazes I have stared at for thousands of years cannot compare to the regret in a single thought.
A soft hand gently patted the shoulder, and the monkey Xiao Hui's squeaking sound rang in his ears. Gui Li's body shook slightly, and he suddenly took a step back, and then he woke up. He was unconsciously
Among them, while staring at this stone statue of a young woman, I was fascinated by the past.
When he thought of this, Gui Li felt as if he had been pricked by needles on his back, and was slightly shocked. With his current practice and determination, he could still be unconscious when facing this exquisite stone statue of a witch.
He said, the supernatural power contained in this stone statue is really extraordinary.
Gui Li calmed down and then turned to look at Jin Ping'er. If Jin Ping'er hadn't reminded him from the side just now, I don't know how long he would have been obsessed with this stone statue. But how could Jin Ping'er not know this god?
The unconscious stone statue was on its guard. Could it be that this woman had unexpected hidden powers?
Gui Li turned his head to look, but couldn't help but be startled. Although Jin Ping'er was standing beside him and reached out to pat his shoulder, his whole body was in the opposite direction to where Gui Li was standing, facing Zhen.
At the entrance of the Mogu Cave, you have your back to the stone statue, and you don’t want to look at the face of the stone statue at all.
Gui Li frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Jin Ping'er smiled slightly and said: "This stone statue is very powerful, haven't I told you?"
Gui Li frowned again, snorted, and took a deep breath. At this time, Xiao Hui, who had been lying on his shoulder, seemed a little impatient. The monkey's tail shook, and suddenly jumped out from Gui Li's shoulder.
Zi jumped onto the stone statue. After climbing a few times, he finally sat on the top of the stone statue.
Gui Li's expression changed, and he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Xiao Hui, come here."
The monkey looked at Gui Li, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and squeaked twice, but in the end he jumped back from the stone statue to Gui Li's shoulder. Jin Ping'er chuckled beside him and said: "What are you trying to scare the monkey? It can't do anything."
It’s fun”
Before he finished his sentence, Jin Ping'er showed a slightly surprised expression. Seeing Gui Li straighten his expression, adjust his clothes, he actually bowed to the stone statue respectfully.
Jin Ping'er asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Gui Li looked indifferent, but did not answer. He just stared deeply at the stone statue, cupped his hands, then turned around and said lightly: "Nothing, let's go in."
The ancient cave is deep and dark, and the wind is blowing, right in front of them
Jin Ping'er followed Gui Li and looked at the monkey Xiao Hui who was looking a little bored. Then his eyes fell on Gui Li and said, "Why did you salute the stone statue just now?"
Gui Li paused for a moment, then continued to move forward, saying calmly: "Even though the demeanor of the predecessors has long been lost, there is always something worthy of respect in people's hearts."
Jin Ping'er frowned, obviously puzzled by Gui Li's charade-like words. Just as he was about to ask, Gui Li had already approached the entrance of the cave. Jin Ping'er hurriedly chased after him, frowning and said: "Hey, I'm following
What are you talking about, why are you walking so fast? I haven't told you yet, the last time I came here, there was an evil spirit here. Although it was probably eliminated by the beast god later, this cave entrance is probably "
At this point, Jin Ping'er's voice suddenly became quieter, and almost at the same time, Gui Li's footsteps also stopped.
The two people stood a few feet away from the entrance of the ancient demon-suppressing cave, looking at the gloomy and dark cave. A white cold air slowly rose up, but it did not dissipate at all when blown by the biting wind.
appearance
Seeing that the white air gathered more and more, the volume became larger and larger, and finally it gradually condensed and took shape. A huge figure vaguely appeared in the white air, roaring deeply and roaring, mixed with the howling wind,
Increase power and power, just like fierce ghosts and gods
Jin Ping'er looked at the white air, sighed, shook his head, and said: "Okay, now you see, there is a powerful and bad-tempered evil spirit here."
