The road to Shu is difficult, but it is harder than climbing to the blue sky.

After the Great Sui Dynasty conquered Shu Kingdom, it was convenient for this natural dangerous place to have a border, making it the strongest advantage to resist the northern border.

If the Tang Dynasty went south to attack the Sui Dynasty, it would have to pass through Shu.

There are many roads and mountains in Shu, and even spiritual objects such as monkeys and yellow cranes in the forest are also afraid of those dangerous valleys.

The mountains in Shu are mostly connected by small paths of sheep intestines. According to legend, even if birds enter the vast mountains, they may get lost.

Here, there is also the famous general Lu Qi, who destroyed the country in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Zhenbei Army, one of the two great soldiers on the land of Yanbu, is garrisoned in this era. It is the most difficult line of defense in the world.

On top of two peaks in Shushan.

There are several courtyards of Taoist temples on two hills of different sizes here.

The big one is Qinglian Peak, and the small one is Bailian Peak.

The two peaks are only a few dozen miles apart, with waterfalls hanging down and yellow cranes flying around. Sometimes when the clouds and mists in the mountains are simmering, they also have a bit of a fairyland charm.

But if we tell some ordinary people that this is the "Tianxia Sword Sect" that was famous in the world of Taoism, I am afraid that not many people would be willing to believe it.

Compared with the three grand temples of Buddhism, the two temples of Vajra and Bodhi are examples.

It is reported that there are 480 temple branches in the Southern Sui Dynasty, all of which are the branches of these two temples. The main temples of these two Buddhas have the allusion that "A moment the Buddha bell rings, the Pure Land is thousands of miles away."

What we are talking about is the Vajra Temple, the Pure Land of the Temple, various merit forests and treasure halls, covering an area of ​​1,000 miles.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this can be regarded as the "authentic three religions", with profound roots and magnificent atmosphere.

Even if it is not as magnificent as Buddhism, there are still many incense and good tourists among the many blessings of Taoist sects. It encloses famous mountains and rivers, which is a real fairyland on earth.

And the "Sword Immortal" disciples who are of great importance in the entire world of martial arts cultivation will not be as shabby as they only have two foundations, but that's the case.

In fact, strictly speaking, this place can no longer be called the "Tianxia Sword Sect".

In the past, after the Tianxia Sword Sect split up due to the Tao and the sword dispute, only the lineage that believed in "Swords to Heavenly Dao" was left here. In order to distinguish it from the original "Tianxia Sword Sect", the word "tian" was divided here, known as Tianzong.

And the other lineage is known as the Sword Sect!

Over the past five hundred years, the Sword Sect has been famous in the world of Taoism in the martial arts world, and from time to time several young sword cultivators have emerged, making them famous in the martial arts world.

On the contrary, Tianzong is becoming increasingly lonely.

This day.

On the Qinglian Peak of Tianzong.

An old man and a middle-aged man stood.

The old man in white robe changed his expression and pinched the sword technique in his hand. There was a faint sword energy around him, which touched the truth.

The old man closed his eyes and murmured: "The sword energy moved south. It seems that they have lived up to their high expectations and finally brought the person back."

"Senior brother, let me take it." A common man said happily in a tone.

However, his words fell.

The old man's voice became a little vague.

"No, I have to take these 30% of the fortunes of the Jiandao lineage to be insured."

Saying the words.

There is a sword energy roaring.

The old man has disappeared from Qinglian Peak.

The middle-aged man looked up at the sky: "More than ten years ago, you said that you would bring 70% of the luck of the future Jiandao line back to Qinglian Peak, but that child...ah..."

"Now, you said again. We have brought back another 30%. According to your old man's view of swords and divination, this is equivalent to the tenth percentile of the swords and fortunes in the world in the future, and all of them will return to my Tianzong."

"Can't it..."

The middle-aged man's tone revealed that he could not calm down: "After five hundred years, can my Tianzong finally be expected to appear a land sword immortal?"

…………

Southern Sui Dynasty.

Extremely western.

The waves are waving and the ocean is undulating.

An ancient city standing by the sea.

Baidi City.

Somewhere in the city.

A black beard was stretched out on one of his lips. A middle-aged man in white, about thirty years old was cutting a wooden sword.

Suddenly, his clean and tidy fingers stopped.

I feel something in my heart.

People looked at the junction of Sui and Tang dynasties.

"Good sword!"

The man's eyes flashed, he stood up and said softly to himself:

"Baimei Zhenren, I was not born fifty years ago. You bullied me, the Ye family, and took away the Baidi Sword from my city. Now, fifty years have passed, this case may be the time..."

The man in white walked out of the yard.

"By the way, go and see that sword, can you expect?"

The man had the freshly cut wooden sword in his hand.

Take it and go to the north.

…………

A small hill on the north-south border.

A fifteen-year-old girl was standing here, waiting anxiously.

"I agreed to make peace here, what, what, the hateful little bottle, I have been waiting for you for a day and a night."

Zhao Qingyang lightly bit his white lips, kept saying angry words on his mouth, but his face was full of worry.

Then cheer myself up.

"He is no longer the small bottle that needed my protection before. He is now even better than me. He can kill the master of the third level of foundation building with one knife. How could something happen to him?"

But if nothing happened, why did Xiao Pingzi not come after making an appointment for a day and one night?

The girl couldn't help but turn back to search for it half a day ago.

But there was a thought in my heart. If Lu Qingping just slowed down and took a few steps, she would be able to find her once she left.

Under the dark night.

A black moon hangs high.

The cold wind blows the world.

A heart full of sorrow and anxiety.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly.

There was something strange in Zhao Qingyang's heart, and she suddenly felt a trace of extremely sharp things appearing in the air.

Strong alertness and calmness made the girl immediately hold the sword in her hand and shout coldly: "Who is it!!"

After drinking, the sharp energy around him became even stronger.

However, responding to the girl's voice was gentle.

"I'm Ren Shou."

When Zhao Qingyang heard this, he was very alert at first, but immediately, she was shocked and blurted out: "The Master of Tianzong!"

When the old master said that when he arrived at the border, a master from Tianzong's magical powers and Dharma realm would come to pick them up and take them back to the Southern Sui Dynasty smoothly.

However, unexpectedly, the person who came here was the fourth level of magical powers and Dharmas, but the true soul of the fifth level of heaven and earth furnace realm. He was only one step away from reaching one of the strongest sword cultivators in the world who were immortals on land.

Bai Mei Zhenren, the leader of Tianzong, is known as Ren Shou, a layman.

An old man in white robe with kind eyes looked kind and said warmly: "Yes, it's me who came to pick you up."

Zhao Qingyang subconsciously asked: "Where to go?"

The old man smiled gently and said, "Do you want to go back to the Luoyang Palace? Or do you want to go with me and become a land sword immortal in this world in the future?"

However, although the girl let down her vigilance.

The next moment, she didn't answer the question at all. She bit her lip and whispered: "Old sir, can you help me find Xiao Ping'er? He made an appointment to have a date with me here, but there has been no news for a day."

This hall is like an ancient ancestral hall. There are four doors outside, but there is a gray world outside, with wisps of gas that seem like chaos, flowing, like a scene before the creation of the world.

On one wall inside the hall, there is an ancient turntable thing, and the traces of the vicissitudes of time are revealed.
