In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on this inconspicuous Dazhu Peak disciple Shen Tian Buyi and Suru looked at each other, Suru smiled slightly and nodded.
Everyone in Dazhu Peak gathered around with smiles on their faces. Lu Daxin patted Zhang Xiaofan heavily on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You brat can't see how lucky you are!"
Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head and stuck out his tongue. His initial surprise turned into surprise. Du Bishu on the side suddenly patted his head regretfully and said: "If I had known earlier, I should have made a decision on who won this lottery."
I bet hehe, it must be a big upset!"
"Go, go," Tian Linger spat at him and turned to Zhang Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, it's useless for you to get into the second round anyway, so why not give this to me!"
Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect the senior sister to say this and was stunned for a moment: "Oh" and then handed over the note with "one" written on it.
Song Daren's expression changed slightly, he looked around and whispered, "Junior sister, don't mess around."
Tian Linger smiled as brightly as peach blossoms and jade, and her cheeks turned slightly red. She stretched out her green onion-like fingers and flicked Zhang Xiaofan's forehead lightly and said, "You little fool, I was joking with you."
Zhang Xiaofan blinked and laughed.
At this time, Taoist Cangsong on the elder's side frowned and then said loudly: "Well, since the drawing has been completed, all disciples, come to me in a moment and press the lottery number to register. It will be posted on the red list later. You will know who your opponent is."
. Now the leader, senior brother, speaks."
The originally noisy disciples became quiet when they heard that Master Daoxuan, the master, was going to come out to speak.
Master Daoxuan stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the crowd. He glanced at the disciples and then said: "Everyone, you are all the elites of the younger generation of our Qingyun Sect. Your qualifications and talents are all outstanding. In the future, all Qingyun Sect members will
The positions of chief, elder, and even me, the head of the clan, are likely to be filled by the best among you."
The disciples of Qingyun were in a state of excitement, with many faces showing expressions of yearning and excitement.
Master Daoxuan showed a kind smile and said: "Of course, if you want to reach this point and sit in the positions of the first elders behind me, you will have to work harder."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes."
Master Daoxuan covered his long beard with his hands and nodded his head and said sternly: "Our Qingyun sect has been a famous righteous sect since the founding of the sect by Patriarch Qingyunzi, and now we have become the righteous leader of the true path in the world. Now the righteous path is flourishing in the world and the evil spirits have retreated from the world.
Enjoy peace and tranquility. However, the remnants of the demonic path are dangerous and vicious, and their hearts are not dead. Over the years, there seems to be a tendency to stir up troubles. At this time, it is even more necessary for us, those on the righteous path, to uphold the path and be motivated. Therefore, you must concentrate on cultivating the path and be firm-minded. As long as we are strong and self-reliant.
Then there will be no gap for evil spirits and heretics to take advantage of!"
The disciples shouted loudly: "I will obey the master's teachings!"
Master Daoxuan smiled and said: "Okay. There is one more thing I want to announce to everyone. In order to encourage the disciples of Qingyun Sect to work hard to practice towards the Tao, I discussed it with all the chief elders and decided to start from this Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition.
After the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, a small reward will be given to the final winner."
"Ah!!" There was a burst of excitement among Qingyun disciples.
Master Daoxuan looked at these young disciples and smiled and said: "The prize this time is the '** Mirror'."
"What is it?" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this thing before and couldn't help but look to his side, only to see Tian Linger, Du Bishu and others also looking confused. The other young disciples from all walks of life around him didn't seem to understand either.
However, disciples such as Qi Hao, Song Daren, and Min who have been in the industry for a long time changed their expressions and showed rare excitement and yearning.
At this time, Tian Linger and others also noticed that the eldest brother and others seemed to know something and leaned over and asked quietly: "What is the mirror, eldest brother?"
Song Daren whispered: "The ** mirror is a magic weapon passed down by the tenth generation founder of our sect, Wu Fangzi. I have never seen its specific appearance, but I have heard the master say before that it is one of our sect's rare treasures and is extremely powerful."
What’s more, as long as the user’s spiritual power is strong enough, the mirror can reflect all attacks and become invincible.”
Everyone opened their mouths and Du Bishu stuttered a little: "Then, wouldn't that mean he is invincible in the world?"
Song Daren shrugged his shoulders and said: "Anyway, I don't know exactly what it looks like, but Master said it will be right this time." He glanced at Master Daoxuan and lowered his voice: "It seems that this time the leader and Master
They seem to have spent a lot of money!"
Everyone looked a little weird, and most of them seemed to be secretly swallowing their saliva. It seemed that the rare treasure in front of them, even those who were cultivators, would inevitably be moved.
Master Daoxuan paused for a while, smiled and looked at the young disciples talking about each other. After a while, he said: "Okay, that's basically it. You go back and have a rest. Tomorrow morning, the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition will begin."
Qingyun's disciples saluted together and said in unison: "This is the real master."
Master Daoxuan nodded and said: "You go!"
All the disciples gradually withdrew from the main hall, leaving only the leader of Qingyun Sect's Seven Meridians and a dozen elders.
Master Daoxuan turned around and smiled at the elders: "Brothers, you should go back and rest early! You will need to worry more about the many competitions starting tomorrow!"
Some of those elders had white hair and wrinkles, but some looked very young. Yan Youshu listened to Master Daoxuan's words and walked out one by one without saying anything. In the end, only Qingyun was left in Yuqing Hall.
The first seat of the seven meridians of the gate.
Master Daoxuan slowly put away the kind smile that had always been on his face and glanced at the other six people sitting on the chairs and said calmly: "Okay, now there are only seven of us."
Shang Zhengliang, the leader of "Chaoyang Peak" sitting on the right, frowned and said, "Brother, headmaster, do you have anything to say to us?"
Master Daoxuan nodded and said slowly and expressionlessly: "I just went to see the Spirit Master."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expression changed.
When they walked down the steps and passed by the clear water pool, the disciples were still trembling with fear. However, this time, the water unicorn fell asleep peacefully and there was no movement at all.
After crossing Hongqiao and returning to the huge fairyland-like square of "Sea of Clouds", Lin Jingyu said a few words to Zhang Xiaofan and then went with the disciples of Longshou Peak.
Zhang Xiaofan watched him go away before walking back to Dazhu Peak. Among the people, Song Daren told everyone some precautions and accommodation conditions. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "Oh! Oh no!"
!”
Everyone was surprised. Tian Linger stood beside him and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Xiaofan?"
Zhang Xiaofan looked around and said anxiously: "I was just talking to Jingyu and forgot about Xiaohui. Now I don't know where he went?"
Only then did everyone remember that they had never noticed the trace of the gray-haired monkey. At this time, they all looked around and saw the white clouds. The disciples of all branches gradually dispersed, but there was no trace of the monkey Xiao Hui.
Zhang Xiaofan was very worried. Ever since he brought Xiao Hui back from the deep valley two years ago, in the past two years, one person and one monkey (and later the big dog Dahuang) were living in the same house, and they had a deep relationship. Seeing that the Tongtian Peak towered into the clouds, the place was so big. It's incredible that if Xiao Hui went somewhere to look for wild fruit, how could he find it?
While he was in a hurry, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly heard Tian Linger on the other side say "Huh" and turned around to look, only to see Tian Linger smiling and pointing his finger in front of his face and said with a smile: "Look."
Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but burst into laughter. They saw Xiao Hui sitting peacefully on the back of the big yellow dog Tian Buyi had raised. The big yellow dog ran towards Zhang Xiaofan, waving its monkey paw and screaming "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak." The dog's mouth was tightly closed and he was actually biting a meat bone that he got from nowhere.
Not long after, Big Yellow carried Xiao Hui on his back and ran up to him. Xiao Hui jumped onto Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder. Zhang Xiaofan quickly touched its monkey head and pretended to be angry: "Where did you go?"
Xiao Hui was not afraid to smile and pointed at the rhubarb that was lying on the ground chewing meat and bones while gesticulating and gesticulating with a "squeak" sound.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at it for a long time and suddenly said: "Where do these meat and bones come from?"
Hearing this, Xiao Hui gestured again and pointed in a direction at the end of the square. Zhang Xiaofan looked towards Song Daren and saw Song Daren quickly looking around, his expression quite embarrassed and funny. He lowered his voice and whispered: "That's where the Nagato disciples eat." 's kitchen.”
Everyone was stunned and then laughed and shook their heads. Song Daren took the lead and walked to the other side and said: "Let's go to the dormitory where we rest! By the way, little junior sister, you are a woman and I have arranged for you to live with the other junior sisters in Xiaozhufeng, haven't you? Opinion?"
Tian Linger shook her head and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to chat more with Sister Min and at the same time help Senior Brother to say some nice things to you!"
Everyone laughed, Song Daren blushed, pretended not to hear, and strode out, with everyone laughing and talking behind him.
Zhang Xiaofan, who was walking at the end, did not join in but glared at the gray monkey over his shoulder and said: "After you die the monkey, you can become a thief again and see how I will punish you."
Xiao Hui yelled "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi" several times and grinned. He didn't know whether he didn't understand! Or he didn't take Zhang Xiaofan's words to heart at all.
Zhang Xiaofan scolded it a few more times, walked forward a few steps, then thought of something, turned his head and said loudly: "Hurry up, dead dogs know how to eat"
Dahuang, who was lying on the ground gnawing on the bones, finally raised his eyes and saw that everyone was gone. Then he stood up, picked up the half-eaten meat bones and chased after them lazily.
The first of the seven branches of Qingyun Gate in Yuqing Palace gathered here. At this time, their attention was attracted by Daoxuan Zhenren.
Taoist Tianyun, the leader of "Luoxia Peak", stood up first and said, "Brother, can you tell what happened to the Spirit Master just now?"
Master Daoxuan sighed and said slowly: "I have carefully inspected the Spirit Master and there is nothing unusual about it."
"What?" All the leaders had a look of surprise on their faces.
Master Daoxuan looked at these fellow disciples and said: "That's true. I've seen it several times and everything is normal. I really can't figure out why it suddenly became so angry and then disappeared so quickly. 1
Tian Buyi pondered for a moment and said: "I see that the target of the Spirit Master's attack seems to be a group of young disciples. Could it be that someone has offended it?"
Master Shuiyue, the first master of "Xiaozhu Peak", said through the interface: "It is impossible that if the disciple is really angry with the spiritual master, how can he give up in one blow?"
Shuiyue was quite beautiful, but when she spoke, her voice was cold and seemed to have a hint of chill. Tian Yi glanced at her and stopped talking.
Master Daoxuan shook his head and said: "The spirit master is an ancient spirit beast whose nature has been channeled for thousands of years. There has never been such a sudden abnormality. There must be a reason."
Sitting on the left side of the "Fenghui Peak" leader, Zeng Shuchang, who had frost-white temples and looked the oldest among the seven people present, said, "Is it possible that the master brother has already made a conclusion in his mind?"
Master Daoxuan sighed softly and said: "To tell you the truth, I am also confused about this. But the spiritual beast is my Qingyun Sect Zhenshan Spirit Beast, which is not trivial. I originally wanted to use the secret 'spiritual technique' taught by our sect to find out. unexpectedly……"
At this point, Master Daoxuan suddenly stopped. The person next to him suddenly stopped listening to what he was saying. Tian Buyi first asked: "What's wrong with the head brother?"
Master Daoxuan looked embarrassed and said: "This psychic technique is just a side skill, but it can be used to communicate with the spirit master. Unexpectedly, when I was about to use it, the spirit master actually fell asleep and I couldn't do it. ."
Everyone was speechless.
Master Daoxuan coughed twice and said sternly: "Don't worry about this matter. We will discuss it in the long term after the spiritual master wakes up. But there is one more thing I want to discuss with all the senior brothers."
When everyone saw that Daoxuan's face was serious, as if it was not a small matter, they put away their smiles and sat down formally.
Master Daoxuan also sat back in his seat and pondered for a moment before saying: "Everyone, do you know that there is an 'Kongmulg Mountain' three thousand miles away in the east?" (Note 1)
Everyone was stunned, Cangsong Taoist first came to his senses and said: "Could it be that the head brother is talking about the Kongsang Mountain with the 'Ancient Ten Thousand Bats Cave'?"
Master Daoxuan nodded and said: "Exactly."
Uncle Zeng frowned and said: "I heard that the 'Ancient Ten Thousand Bats Cave' is a huge natural cave that goes straight into the ground and is unfathomable. It is cold and wet and only countless bats live in it. It is said that there are millions of them. Such a barren cave Why did Senior Brother Di bring it up?"
Master Daoxuan said slowly: "You don't know that although the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave seems to be inaccessible to humans and animals, it was an important stronghold of the Demon Sect eight hundred years ago. The cold and dampness in the ancient cave is just suitable for the cultivation of those evil demons. Demonic methods. Later, under the encirclement and suppression by our righteous people, the demonic sect's evil obstacles retreated and left this place, and it became deserted."
Master Shuiyue said coldly: "Then what does the head brother mean by mentioning it again now?"
It can be said that Shuiyue's attitude towards Daoxuan was quite unfriendly, but everyone here knew that Master Shuiyue always spoke like this to others.
Master Daoxuan didn't care and just sighed and said: "Junior Sister Shuiyue doesn't know. Just half a year ago, I received a letter from Fenxiang Valley saying that recently there seemed to be remnants of the Demon Cult activities near the Wanbat Ancient Cave. After seeing the signs and asking for my opinion, after thinking about it, I ordered my two disciples to quickly go to Kongsang Mountain to check it out."
Upon hearing this, Chaoyang Peak Shang Zhengliang laughed and said: "Isn't that great? Xiao Yicai's nephew is extremely talented and profound in cultivation. In fact, he is the best in the Qingyun Sect. He even won the first prize in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. Is there anything that can’t be accomplished without him?”
Master Daoxuan smiled slightly and said: "Senior Brother Shang is overly praised. However, after Yicai went to Kongsang Mountain for a few months, a letter came back saying that he had indeed found people from the Demon Sect operating near the Wanbat Ancient Cave, and their purpose was even more... amazing."
Everyone was surprised and Zeng Shuchang said: "What?"
Daoxuan Zhen's face was calm and showed no emotion: "According to Yicai's letter, he captured a demon cultist and forced him to interrogate him. It turned out that Wanbat Ancient Cave was a branch of the demon cult eight hundred years ago.
The main hall of the 'Blood Refining Hall' was located at that time. The Blood Refining Hall was very powerful and was one of the five major forces of the Demon Sect. However, after being defeated by my righteous ancestors, it fell into ruins and the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave was abandoned."
"But for some reason, the Blood Refining Hall, which has been in decline for a long time in recent years, seems to be showing signs of rising again. It is said in the Blood Refining Hall that during the Battle of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave, although all the main figures of the Blood Refining Hall were killed by the sword of my righteous people, but in the Wanbat Ancient Cave,
There is a very secret treasure cave in the Bat Ancient Cave. There are many rare treasures, demonic books and evil scrolls that have never been discovered by anyone."
At this point, everyone understood. Cangsong Taoist sneered and said, "The devil is just wishful thinking!"
Master Daoxuan shook his head and said: "Regardless of whether this rumor is true, as far as I know, after the battle eight hundred years ago, the righteous people did not find any secret cave treasure trove in the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave. Others are just that.
But if there really is a secret treasure cave, I'm afraid there will be a very dangerous thing in it, but we must guard against it."
Everyone looked at Daoxuan and Taoist Tianyun said: "Brother, what kind of dangerous thing are you referring to that is so important?"
Master Daoxuan glanced at everyone around him and said solemnly: "Blood-devouring beads!"
Everyone was shocked and Taoist Cangsong asked in surprise: "Didn't this evil thing disappear long ago when the black-hearted old man died?"
Master Daoxuan shook his head and said: "Otherwise, even though the old man with a black heart is dead, the blood-devouring beads may not be lost in the world. It seems that ordinary people cannot grasp such a powerful and evil thing. If the demon cultivator is not practicing enough, it is impossible to collect it. Moreover, back then,
The black-hearted old man was born in the Blood Refining Hall of the Demon Sect, so I speculate that the blood-devouring beads are probably in this secret cave."
Everyone was silent for a while after listening to Master Daoxuan's words, but the cold Master Shuiyue said: "What do you think, senior brother, head?"
Daoxuanzhen said: "I immediately informed Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple after receiving the letter from Yi Cai. Soon these two sects also responded and said that they would also send their proud disciples to Kongsang Mountain to stop the evil sect.
Uphold the Tao and hoe to stimulate."
Tian Buyi frowned and said: "What does the head brother mean..."
Master Daoxuan showed a smile on his face and said: "Speaking of which, this is also a rare and great opportunity for training. Although there are many young talents in my Qingyun Sect, most of them have not gone out to practice. In these years, the world has been stable and has never had a confrontation with the demon cult.
Taking advantage of this opportunity of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, I plan to send the top four young disciples to Kongsang Mountain together. On the one hand, they can stop the Demon Sect from going against the trend, and on the other hand, they can also gain experience and experience. And..."
He put away his smile and turned his face serious: "And I heard that in the past hundred years, Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley have produced several outstanding disciples with outstanding talents. If we continue to sit idly by and ignore them, we will only be afraid of the status of this righteous leader in the future."
There is no guarantee. If this is the case, I, Daoxuan, will not be able to face the ancestors of all generations!"
Among the crowd, Taoist Cangsong was the first to say: "Senior brother, the leader, is very far-sighted."
Daoxuan looked at the leaders and said, "In this case, everyone has no objections."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Master Daoxuan said: "Okay, then it's decided. The Yuqing Palace has arranged residences for all the senior brothers, please go and have a rest!" As he said that, he clapped his palm three times in succession outside the door and immediately turned to several Taoist boys. "
You lead all of you to your room to rest."
The Taoist boys responded, and each leader stood up, bowed to Master Daoxuan, and then followed.
