At dusk in summer, five monks patrolling along the river bend suddenly stopped and listened.
They heard a strange sound that seemed vaguely like the surging tide. It was fast and slow, very rhythmic. However, the water surface of the Willow River in front of them was gentle, with mist curling up, and there was nothing unusual about it. They didn't know where the strange sound came from?
Several figures flew out from the river island and the hill beside the village.
Lezi stared at the seemingly calm water, feeling a little nervous.
He could see that below the surface of the water, there was already a raging scene. Ten miles downstream from the river island, the river was slowly forming a huge whirlpool. Strange sounds were coming from the whirlpool. Shuilan had been in seclusion for several years, and the outcome was about to be revealed today. .
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is drawn, and flows into the vortex of the river, causing wind and clouds to surge.
"Su Rong, let them go back to the village. If nothing happens, don't leave the village at night. Just stay there."
Lezi gave instructions to a woman in a green skirt who was flying close.
"Yes, Su Rong understands."
The woman in the green skirt agreed and sent a message to several of the patrolling monks who were saluting, asking them to quickly return to the village to deliver the order and activate the protective formation. Tonight was the critical moment for the empress to break through, and they had to guard against anyone coming to disturb her.
Over the past few decades, thanks to the profit sharing from the excavation of two small mines and Yang Shuilan's careful guidance, the Willow Branch River force has added two new local fourth-level monks.
A variety of strange scenes are evolving above the river, with strange colors and sparkling water.
Lezi and the two fourth-level women did not dare to look directly, let alone get too close. They paid attention to the movements in the wild mountains and swamps.
As daybreak approached, the dark whirlpool of unknown depth gradually disappeared, and the strange sounds suddenly stopped.
Yang Shuilan walked out of the river with an indifferent expression, her long dress shimmering in the water. She said hello to the joyful Lezi, and stretched out her hand to help two disciples who were saluting and congratulating.
Take a look at the faint light of dawn on the horizon.
With the top-quality water-condensing mysterious bead given by the Earth Protector, she finally returned to the fifth level.
At Lingbao Temple, ever since Zhang Wenfeng and Zhou Fushi, Su Xianyuan and Wan Boqi, the three Taoist priests, had a closed-door meeting, a wave of searches for and copying of orphaned classics started in various peaks, and countless secrets and fragments of books were excavated and rescued. come out.
Zhang Wenfeng had to look through countless books that were of no use to him every day, and screen out some ambiguous words. Even if Wan Boqi and Ge Xiaoxing helped him search together, he still had to go through the books that they had read personally.
It's not that I don't believe them, but I don't want to miss the opportunity.
Time passes slowly, and the golden autumn of another year comes.
Zhang Wenfeng received two Feijian messages almost at the same time in the morning. He first checked the Feijian sent from Xuanyun Temple, which was full of tenderness and sweetness. Yun Qiuhe described to him the red leaves all over the mountains and fields in Qiulinju. The autumn wind blew and the fallen leaves Piao Ling was so beautiful that at the end of the summons, Yun Qiuhe said that at Yue Anyan's invitation, she would go to Xianling Temple to give lessons to the apprentices for free, and by the way she complained that Yue Anyan was stingy.
A smile appeared on Zhang Wenfeng's lips. Yun Qiuhe was the most popular lecturer at Qingzheng Villa.
She just plays with the little ones and doesn't do any real work. It's weird if she can earn money.
The second flying sword was sent by Rong Shuzhi from the vast continent, and his hard work paid off. Rong Shuzhi found the secret method of blessing the dragon chain left by the powerful Confucian master from the collection of Haoran Academy. A year later, he Will return to the Eastern Continent.
Send flying swords back to the two of them respectively.
Yang Shuilan has advanced to the fifth level and is currently in seclusion to stabilize her cultivation.
By then, the four fifth-level masters will gather in Zhenlong Cave, and with the help of You Lao secretly, they will not be able to deal with the troublesome old dragon soul.
Arriving at Kaiyuanfeng Library, Zhang Wenfeng sat down in front of a desk piled with a thick stack of books.
A disciple brought a pot of freshly brewed spiritual tea and poured a cup of tea. Zhang Wenfeng tapped the table with his fingers to express his gratitude. His eyes glanced at an ancient jade slip placed on the table, with a note underneath.
, it was written that the jade slips came from the main peak library, and some of the contents involved the true Lord Merlin back then. He picked up the jade slips to investigate.
After a moment, his eyes became solemn, and then he looked back
There was a hint of joy on his face.
He found this jade slip at the bottom of the box, which vaguely described the deeds of True Lord Merlin when he was ordered to suppress the monsters from outside the world. Outsiders were confused after seeing it, but Zhang Wenfeng, who knew some of the inside story, felt like he had found a treasure.
By repeatedly pondering and eliminating useless information, he found the key points he needed in the jade slip.
"It's the Reciprocating Mantra, I understand."
Zhang Wenfeng put away the jade slips and disappeared in front of the desk in a flash. He couldn't wait to reach the main peak, walked into the library, and asked the guarding monk who came forward to salute to help him find the secret of the mantra's reciprocating spell.
There are thousands of Taoist teachings, so vast that it is impossible for him to learn them all, and there is no need for them.
Monks often specialize in one discipline and dabble in other activities.
He had heard of blessing and auxiliary spells such as the "Mantra Reciprocating Spell", but he didn't practice it because he didn't need it.
After receiving the transcript of the secret method, Zhang Wenfeng sat down and read it carefully. He was proficient in various techniques of the Nine-Character Mantra, and learned the Mantra Reciprocating Mantra very quickly. By noon, he could already draw the lines of the Mantra Reciprocating Mantra with his mind.
In the following days, he continued to stay at Lingbao Temple, practicing daily, doing homework, chanting sutras and nourishing Lihuo, comprehending the rules of the sword. He spent two hours reading the books copied by his disciples, and found more secret methods to deal with the old dragon.
better.
You Lao has handed over the completed Dragon Claw Blood Blade to him, and he needs to spend time warming and nourishing the Blood Blade.
The more powerful means you can prepare, the better. We must not take it lightly this time when dealing with the old dragon soul.
There is still one year left, so there is no rush.
On the sea area.
Two women wearing ancient white skirts, tasseled sword sleeves, and veiled hats to hide their faces, with graceful figures, flew between the blue sky and the sea, coming from west to east.
Occasionally encounter monks who explore deep into the sea.
Seeing the costumes of the two women, the adventuring monk quickly stepped aside and bowed respectfully.
Zhao Zhuer and Fang Bailan ignored it and did not stop. After receiving the summons from the Earth Protector, the two women, who had just completed the initial fusion, rushed back tens of thousands of miles to assist in the boxing.
Zhao Zhuer had heard a little bit about the restless old dragon who was suppressed in the lower realm in his previous life. It was said that the Wu clan had lost many masters. One of them, a master of the sixth level of Yuloumen's physical training, mysteriously fell, which led to the decline of the Wu clan's power. Later, he and the Taoists
The war was defeated not without reason.
After staying in the Western Continent for decades and fulfilling her wish, Zhao Zhuer will spend most of her time in the Fairy Spirit Temple in the future. The Western Continent already has a newly promoted fifth level, so there is no need for her to sit in charge anymore.
"I heard that the shopkeeper and his sweetheart are getting married. What gift should I prepare for the shopkeeper?"
Zhao Zhuer said to herself that her friendship with the shopkeeper started at a young age, and the shopkeeper was kind to her. If anything happened to the shopkeeper, she would definitely take note of it.
I wonder what happened to Lu Zijin who was cultivating in Nanyuan Continent?
