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.
Vibrating gently. In the distance, there is a clear and melodious sound of birdsong coming from the depths of the dense forest. Listening to it makes your body and mind feel refreshed, as if you are in a fairyland.
In this human 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 worried. At this moment, there was no one around him, which also seemed a bit strange. Although Tian Buyi was a
The leader of Dazhu Peak is one of the most important people in Qingyun Sect, but it is obviously a bit strange for him to secretly come to the ancestor's ancestral hall in the back mountain of Changmen Tongtian Peak.
There were no Qingyun Sect disciples guarding the mountain road, and there was no sound along the way. 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……"
The soft sound of bells and drums coming from nowhere came from the direction of the front mountain and echoed at the top of Qingyun Mountain.
The empty space and the fluttering echo made Tian Buyi stop silently, look back and look out.
The sky, the earth, the sky, the sky is infinitely blue!
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 vast stone steps were displayed in front of him. The ancestor's ancestral hall remained unchanged, like a sleeping giant, gently sleeping, lying in the embrace of the forest. The door of the ancestral hall was still open, and it was still dim inside, even
The incense candles in the dark depths seemed to be sleeping, and everything was so quiet.
However, outside the ancestral hall, under the stone steps, there was still a young man standing with his back to Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi frowned and walked over.
Hearing the footsteps, the young man seemed surprised. He didn't expect that someone would come to this place at this time, and turned around quickly.
Tian Buyi faced the man, and both of them were startled. The young man was Lin Jingyu.
Tian Buyi immediately remembered that he had heard from his disciples in the past that Lin Jingyu had been guarding the ancestral hall for someone, but no one seemed to know who that "someone" was. However,
Naturally, Tian Buyi was not in the mood to think about this at the moment. The relationship between him and Lin Jingyu was not very good either. The two looked at each other but neither spoke immediately, making the atmosphere 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, saying: "I'm here to find someone. What are you doing standing outside the ancestral hall so early in the morning?"
Lin Jingyu's expression changed slightly, and a bitter smile seemed to flash across his face. He glanced into the ancestral hall, but did not answer.
Tian Buyi said calmly: "Is there anyone 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 stopped paying attention to him, raised his legs and stepped onto the stone steps.
Lin Jingyu next to him 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..."
"I'm not a disciple of Tongtian Peak!" Tian Buyi interrupted Lin Jingyu coldly.
Lin Jingyu choked and was choked by Tian Buyi until he was speechless.
Tian Buyi said nothing more, walked up the stone steps and walked 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 flickered.
Stepping into the high threshold, a faint scent of sandalwood immediately greeted me, and a huge shadow gently poured out from the depths of the hall, gently blocking the light that was still there just outside the 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 hall, supporting the majestic hall. Yellow curtains hanging from the ceiling dome hang quietly beside the pillars, many of which
It looks a little worn out, and in the eyes, it seems that there is a sense of vicissitudes of life, which is revealed from the aging yellow color.
The past time seems to have frozen here.
It was very quiet in the ancestral hall, with almost no sound heard. Only Tian Buyi's 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, watching the figure that shuttled through the shadows of the hall.
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. And in front of the futon, there was a
There was a huge altar table, 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 in it, and light smoke slowly floated up.
Through the smoke-filled altar table, in the deep darkness behind the table, countless spiritual tablets could be vaguely seen. Each one seemed to have writing on it, and they were 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 back 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 futon where Master Daoxuan was sitting 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 Tian Buyi's figure stood behind him. Standing in front of him.
In the depths of darkness, suddenly, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the depths of the netherworld, there was a "sudden" sound, and two lights flashed instantly. Almost at the same time, like an invisible ghost howl, a sound wave passed through the hall, and all the incense candles and lights, except for Except for the three sticks of incense 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, and 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 and motionless. The yellow curtain in the distance seemed to be fluttering slightly as if there was a breeze blowing through the main hall for some reason. After a few beats, it slowly stopped.
Outside the ancestor's ancestral hall, Lin Jingyu was frowning in deep thought, but suddenly he suddenly 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 peacefully sleeping, opened its eyes coldly like a waking monster.
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 suddenly and went away quickly. As the strange eyes slowly closed, 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, and three tiny points of incense were looming in the darkness. But as the incense trembled, 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 to the spiritual throne three more times, 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 even a hint of pain, and he said slowly, "We meet again!"
Most of Daoxuan's face was shrouded in shadow and he couldn't 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 corner of his mouth slightly, took steps, and walked to the side of Daoxuan Zhenren in the distance. He also sat down on another futon less than three feet away from him.
There was silence above the main hall.
In southern Xinjiang, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains and 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.
The gloomy atmosphere around them became more and more intense, 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 Demon-Suppressing Ancient Cave from a distance, they were not attacked. Any danger or ambush. This place that is full of mountains and plains, almost like a ghostland, is surprisingly quiet. Not to mention that there are no ferocious monsters, even the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that have been seen everywhere since entering Shiwan Mountain are completely missing.
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, looking at the ancient and deep cave from a distance, and could 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 even greater worries.
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 mid-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 not capable 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?"
Jin Ping'er showed slight hesitation, and after being silent for a long time, he finally nodded and said: "That's it, 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 also looked a little pale. Apparently she still had some concerns about the mysterious cave. In fact, it wasn't just her, but also the monkey on Gui Li's shoulder. Xiao Hui seemed to have changed his temper at this moment and seemed particularly quiet.
As if she felt something, Jin Ping'er turned around, looked at Gui Li, suddenly smiled, revealing her beautiful white teeth, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, just go over!"
Gui Li nodded and walked away first. Jin Ping'er followed behind him and walked slowly towards the ancient demon-suppressing cave.
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 had 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.
The 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, have been reduced to ashes in the face of time.
The icy wind blew past 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 one thought after all!
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
While staring at the stone statue of a young woman, I was fascinated.
When he thought of this, Gui Li felt as if he had been pricked by needles on his back, and his heart was slightly shocked. With his current practice and strong will, when facing this exquisite stone statue of a witch, he could still unconsciously
The truth is, the supernatural power contained in this stone statue is truly extraordinary.
Gui Li composed himself, and then turned to look at Jin Ping'er. If Jin Ping'er hadn't reminded him from the side just now, he really doesn't know how long he would have been obsessed with this stone statue. But how could Jin Ping'er not know this god?
Are the unknowing stone statues on guard? Could it be that this woman is unexpected and has some hidden strength?
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, so 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.
He suddenly jumped onto the stone statue, climbed a few times, and 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, "Why are you trying to scare the monkey? It's just for fun..."
Before he finished his sentence, Jin Ping'er showed a slightly surprised look. Seeing Gui Li straightening his expression, adjusting his clothes, he 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 riddle-like words. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Gui Li had already approached the entrance of the cave.
Jin Ping'er hurriedly chased after him, frowning and said: "Hey, I'm talking to you! Why are you walking so fast? I haven't told you yet. The last time I came here, there was a vicious spirit here, although it was more likely to happen later.
It was eliminated by the beast god, but the entrance to this cave 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.
Look.
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.
, even more powerful, like a fierce ghost or a god.
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!" (To be continued)
