Narendra sat in the pavilion, his back as straight as a cypress tree.
In his left hand he holds a book.
It is not a book on martial arts, it is just a story book, describing a story that is absurd and impossible to happen in the eyes of monks in the mysterious world, but is full of legend and enviable in the eyes of ordinary people.
He was watching it so much that the priceless spiritual tea on the stone table next to him was completely cold, and he still didn't know.
Naland was watching this interestingly, and unconsciously made a goose sound.
His head nodded lightly, with a joyful smile on his face.
Then, he reached out and turned another page, and soon there was another squawk of geese.
"You can meet an immortal by falling off a cliff, and then you can live forever by swallowing a red fruit. It's really fantastic." Nalande commented with a smile, "After I came out of the mountain, I killed all my enemies. When I traveled around the world, I met
The object of their love is actually the enemy's youngest daughter who escaped death by some mistake. It's really a turn of events... But there is no such simple story in the mysterious world. Only the ignorant people in the secular world can think of it.
.”
Closing the storybook, Naland nodded: "But the story is indeed interesting."
He gently placed the storybook on the table, and saw the words "Xianyuan (2)" written on the cover of the storybook.
There is another book under it, but the cover is blocked and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly. Only the word "一" can be vaguely seen.
After thinking for a while, Nalande said: "Shu Juan."
"Disciple is here." A handsome young man quickly came to the pavilion and saluted respectfully.
"Go to Zangfeng Town and see if this writer has finished his new work." Naland handed the two books on the stone table to the young man, "If he has finished writing, buy the new work back."
If you haven’t finished writing yet... bring me back. There are too many temptations and worries in this world. Maybe you can write better works if you come to this mountain to meditate."
Perhaps this was not the first time he received such an order. The young man's expression remained unchanged, he nodded in agreement and left.
Naland then reached out to pick up the cup on the side and took a sip of tea, but his brows soon wrinkled: "Oh, another pot of good tea was wasted."
He put the cup down helplessly, intending to pour all the tea, but he was reluctant to do so.
In the end, I could only sigh helplessly and ignore it.
It wasn't until he took out another storybook from his body that a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
The cover of the book reads "The domineering immortal fell in love with me (Qi)".
Not long after, another goose call came from the pavilion.
But this time, the call of the Nalande goose did not last long, and was interrupted by a shaking sensation like the ground was shaking.
His originally cheerful smile disappeared instantly as he closed the books, and was replaced by a solemn look on his face.
Without the slightest hesitation, Naland stood up and left the pavilion.
And the moment he stepped out of the pavilion, the pavilion behind him had disappeared with the wind, and a large piece of beautiful scenery behind him also disappeared.
"What happened?" Naland's deep voice sounded.
Soon, the slightly panicked situation around them was relieved.
A Hidden Sword Pavilion disciple quickly stepped forward: "Elder! Something happened in the sword-washing pool!"
"What's the extent of the damage?" Naland's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but reveal his sharp edge.
He did not ask what happened in the Xijian Pond. He obviously already knew that something would happen in the Xijian Pond, so the meaning of his question at this time was whether the accident in the Xijian Pond was serious.
Before the Hidden Sword Pavilion disciple could reply, the noise sounded again.
Not far away, a large number of sword cultivators began to emerge from the secret area of the Sword Washing Pond.
The strength of these people is not strong. They are basically only in the Aperture Realm and a few Yunling Realm. Obviously, the scope of activities of these sword cultivators is limited to the mortal pond. But it is precisely because of this that these people can become the first batch to evacuate out of Xixi.
Sword cultivator in the secret realm of Sword Pool.
But the noise was not caused by the renunciation of these sword cultivators.
But as this group of sword cultivators rushed out of the secret realm of the Sword Washing Pond, there were still many people with red eyes, and they were attacking other sword cultivators around them indiscriminately like crazy, even in the face of those with far greater strength.
They all dared to attack with their swords without any fear, even those swordsmen who surpassed them, in a state of complete disregard for life or death.
Naland saw with his own eyes that a sword cultivator in the Aperture Realm was stabbed and subdued by several sword cultivators in the same realm. However, when he was pressed to the ground, he was still struggling wildly, without any thought of stopping, until finally
Until someone knocks him out.
During this process, his state became quite frenzied, and his red eyes actually made him, a great master of the Earthly Immortal Realm, feel a little palpitated.
"Is this... possessed by a demon?" Naland frowned, "No, that's not right... If it is possessed by a demon, its strength will explode and increase, and it is impossible to be subdued so easily... Is this because the mind is disturbed?"
He frowned and thought, and the Hidden Sword Pavilion disciple beside him did not dare to interrupt the elder's thinking. He could only make hurried gestures to ask other Hidden Sword Pavilion disciples to help subdue these sword cultivators who had become crazy for no reason. But these
The disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion don’t dare to make a fatal move
, after all, they don’t know what kind of sect is standing behind this group of sword cultivators. If the Thirty-sixth Sect sends disciples who gain experience and gain knowledge, then if they attack too harshly and cause the other party to be crippled or die, then
Subsequent processing will become quite troublesome.
When the time comes, if a scapegoat is needed, it won't be these unlucky disciples like them.
Therefore, they would rather work harder or suffer some innocuous injuries, rather than kill these crazy sword cultivator disciples.
"It's pollution from demonic thoughts!" Naland finally reacted, "Don't hold back! If you can't subdue him, kill him! Be careful not to get hurt!"
But Nalande's reminder was obviously too late.
Several disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion who were accidentally bitten or scratched while helping to subdue the crazy sword cultivators suddenly fell to the ground, let out painful wails, and then began to roll around crazily.
"Knock them out!" Naland saw other sword cultivators trying to support and treat these Hidden Sword Pavilion disciples, and couldn't help but roared, "Those who are not strong enough should stay away!"
Because this time the reminder was timely enough and the voice was loud enough, the surrounding disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion also hurriedly took action and knocked out these few disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion who were rolling crazily. However, one of them fell too far away.
The others had no time to knock him unconscious, and the weak sword cultivators around him did not dare to approach at all and had no choice but to stay away. As a result, the Hidden Sword Pavilion disciple who suddenly fell to the ground and rolled around quickly got up again.
However, when this Hidden Sword Pavilion disciple got up, his eyes had turned red, and his whole body was filled with a violent and crazy aura.
"call out--"
A sharp sound broke through the air.
A flying sword penetrated directly between the eyebrows of this Hidden Sword Pavilion disciple, not only tearing apart his divine sea, but also tearing apart his divine soul.
Nalande's face looked particularly solemn: "Notify the sect! The monster sealed in Liangyi Pond may have broken out of the seal."
The sword cultivators present basically knew that the Liangyi Pond in the Sword Washing Pond was dangerous to a certain extent, but they had not previously known that the Liangyi Pond was so dangerous. Of course, this was also their knowledge and experience.
Not relevant enough.
Those sword cultivators who have basically reached the destiny realm and the soul-condensing realm, when they heard "demon pollution", their faces turned pale, and they even attacked those sword cultivators who looked like crazy demons.
A lot.
If before, they would rather suffer minor injuries than resort to deadly attacks and still focus on knocking them unconscious, then now they would rather kill people and get in trouble than let themselves be scratched by the other party.
Bite.
Demonic thought pollution, since it is pollution, will definitely spread.
And the only ones who can create the pollution of demonic thoughts are fallen demons.
Naland is already halfway through the journey, and his knowledge and experience are naturally higher than those of other sword cultivators who know what "demon pollution" represents. Therefore, he knows better than these people how fast demon pollution spreads.
In fact, it is one of the standard ways to judge the strength of a demon-fallen person.
The disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion were scratched and bitten for only ten seconds. They were quickly infected. The speed of the spread and the intensity of the contamination were far beyond his imagination. It was rumored that the people were buried in the sky back then.
It takes several hours for the demonic thoughts created by the man in the Pavilion to spread contamination. This is one of the reasons why when the demonic people in the Burial Sky Pavilion broke out, the surrounding area fell so quickly.
After all, when a large-scale outbreak begins, it will be very difficult to solve the problem.
Naland's mood at this time was quite complicated, with mixed joys and sorrows.
Fortunately, the poison spread by the demonic thoughts is quite violent and will explode completely in ten seconds, so the sword cultivators who escaped from the sword washing pool will not slip through the net.
What's worrying is that the poisonous power spread by the demonic thoughts is so fierce, which means that the strength of the fallen demon who escaped from the Liangyi Pond is probably quite terrifying.
With Nalande's action and the knowledge of the dangers of "demon propagation", the riot was quickly suppressed.
Except for those unlucky ones who were injured due to ignorance at the beginning, no one was injured later.
In contrast, the casualty rate has also been rising.
Of the thousands of sword cultivators who escaped, dozens died, and nearly a hundred were unfortunately seriously injured during the subjugation process, and more than two hundred were slightly injured and unconscious.
When hearing this set of numbers, the faces of the sword cultivators present looked very solemn.
Because they know very well that there are more than 100,000 spiritual energy nodes in Fanchen Pool!
For the Star Pond, there are three hundred and sixty.
Although the number is only a fraction of the mortal pool, the problem is that starting from the star pool, those who dare to intervene in the fight must be the monks in the destiny realm.
And the strength and background of the monks in the natal realm...
When Naland thought of this, he suddenly felt a headache.
He began to have some doubts. The sect's agreement to let Su Anran enter the sword-washing pool was probably the biggest wrong decision in the sect's history.
Not long after the suppression ended, dozens of sword lights flew past.
In the middle, an old man in a purple shirt with white hair scanned the scene with thunderous eyes, then looked at Naland and asked in a deep voice: "What happened in the sword-washing pool?"
Feeling the heavy pressure coming towards him, Naland was horrified. However, as the elder guarding the sword washing pool, he was the person with the greatest responsibility and power in the room, so he could only bite the bullet and step forward to answer: "According to the
According to other survivors, four days ago
The sword washing pool was shrouded by dark clouds that suddenly appeared. At first, this dark cloud just dropped drizzle full of sharp sword energy, but then it suddenly started to have a strange aura for some reason. I guess it was raining at that time.
Then he started to have evil thoughts."
"What do you think?"
"Yes." Naland nodded, "These sword cultivators are just practicing in the Mortal Pond. Their vision is shallow and they cannot understand many things, so I can only speculate from their words and try to restore it.
The truth of the matter."
The old man in purple shirt nodded and said: "Continue."
"After that, they soon found that the air became turbid, and many people began to feel uncomfortable. Then all the spiritual energy nodes began to emit black mist. At this time, the spiritual energy in the earth veins and the sword-washing pool should
They have been completely infected." Naland sighed, "Those sword cultivators should have started to be infected by the demonic thoughts at this time."
"According to what they said, the entire Sword Washing Pond was in complete chaos three days ago. There was a large-scale fighting inside, and the casualties were quite heavy. Many sword cultivators have completely lost their minds and have become people who only know how to kill...
"
Naland swallowed his saliva and spit out two words with some difficulty: "Demon."
Having said this, the weakest person present is also a powerful person in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the leader, the old man in purple shirt, is the Lord of the Sea of Bitterness. How could they not understand the meaning of Nalande's words.
If demons begin to appear on a large scale in a place, it means that a demon realm has been born in this place.
And the Demon Realm was born in the secret area of Xijianchi Pond. In other words, Xijianchi Pond is gone.
"Why did the sword washing pool become like this!" The old man in purple shirt was really angry and couldn't help roaring.
"The seal of Liangyi Pond must have been destroyed by someone." Naland said in a low voice.
Many sword cultivators know that Liangyi Pond, located at the deepest part of the Sword Washing Pond, has inner demons and is a very dangerous place.
But at least the people in the Hidden Sword Pavilion know that there is a seal in Liangyi Pond.
It's just that they themselves don't know what is sealed in this seal, because when they found the Sword Washing Pool, this seal already existed. It was obvious that this was the seal set by the Sword Sect himself in the past. And the Hidden Sword Pavilion has been there for so many years.
Now, I haven't found any relevant records about the seal of Xijianchi. Naturally, I don't dare to open the seal at will and see what's going on.
Because the sword washing pool can only withstand the entry of monks at the Soul Condensing Realm at most, and monks above the Soul Condensing Realm Transformation Phase cannot use the spiritual energy nodes to refine flying swords, so there are almost no monks above the Soul Condensation Realm Transformation Phase.
Entering. Naturally, it was impossible for those sword cultivators who had just entered the Soul Condensing Realm to break the seal in Liangyi Pond, so the Hidden Sword Pavilion stopped paying attention to this matter over time.
After all, for so many years, there has never been any problem in the sword-washing pool.
"The seal of Liangyi Pond has never been loosened, why was it destroyed?" The old man in purple shirt looked puzzled.
Every time they open the sword-washing pool in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, in addition to being a reward for the winner of the sect competition, they will also arrange for personnel to go in and check whether the seal of the sword-washing pool is stable. And there have been countless inspections over thousands of years.
, this seal has never been loosened, so much so that the Hidden Sword Pavilion even subconsciously believes that even if the Xuanjie is destroyed, the seal of the Sword Washing Pool cannot be destroyed.
Naland sighed helplessly: "This time, Su Anran entered the sword washing pool."
The old man in purple shirt looked stiff.
The faces of other elders around him also became ugly.
The vast majority of them did not believe in the theory of natural disasters before, so they naturally had no objection to the elder Zishan agreeing to Su Anran from Taiyi Valley enter the sword-washing pool. But now that they heard about this, these people
Even if you don't believe in evil, there has never been a loose seal, but after Su Anran entered it for the first time, it was completely destroyed, so that all the sealed objects escaped?
Is there such a coincidence in this world?
As for the old man in purple, his eyes became extremely gloomy.
