The Lianyun Mountains are vast and boundless, and the Xingluo Sect lives on the southern periphery of them, while the so-called Southern Xinjiang is further south, and goes deep into the Lianyun Mountains. Even if the monk has the ability to fly to the sky, he needs to be cautious of the sudden appearance of powerful demon birds in the air to forage and climb at a low altitude.

Therefore, the Wu Clan hid in the depths of southern Xinjiang, and the Star Luo Sect has not been able to eradicate it.

There are many mountains, and there are many canyons in nature, and the Valley of the Rising Moon is one of the treacherous places.

Today is the thirteenth day of the first month, the weather is extremely clear, the bright moon is in the sky, although it is not as mellow as the fifteenth o'clock, but from a distance, it is like a silver plate hanging high on the mountain, casting a soft silver glow, reflecting the surroundings. Even at night, the view is not affected at all.

Ouyang Nan looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed softly: "It is said that the mountains and rivers in southern Xinjiang are sinister, but I only realized how false the rumors are when I came here in person. The moonrise valley is as bright as a pearl, and the name of the rising moon valley could not be more appropriate. ”

Ouyang Nan was not alone, You Tong was sitting on his right side, and on his left side were two monks of Dayan Temple wearing black robes sitting cross-legged. Around him, there were also several gray-robed monks sitting scattered.

The two monks in black robes looked about forty or fifty years old, their cheeks were slightly sunken, their bodies were thin, but their bodies were extremely athletic, their exposed arms were muscular, and their eyebrows were resolute.

One of them opened his eyes, and his gaze did not turn to the moon in the sky at all, but he said: "What Ouyang Gongzi said is true, although the land of Southern Xinjiang is difficult and dangerous for ordinary people to survive, it is an excellent place for us monks to temper. If it weren't for the alliance with the Five Sects of the Demon Sect in the early years, with Yunmeng Daze Painting Land as the boundary, I would have hoped that the disciples in the temple would all come to Southern Xinjiang to travel and confirm what they have learned. At that time, the predecessors of the Medicine Saint crossed Yunmeng Daze alone, and treated countless Li people who suffered from miasma, and the whole temple was deeply admired. Now Ouyang Gongzi is young and has the wishes of his ancestors, and the little monk is even more ashamed. ”

This monk's Dharma name is "Tuopu", and his voice is like gold and stone, and he is obviously not a good conversation.

You Tong thought to himself: "Only strange people like Dayan Temple will think that Southern Xinjiang is an excellent place to exercise, I really pity the little novice in the temple, and I don't know what kind of life I live on weekdays......"

Ouyang Nan naturally didn't know what You Tong was thinking, and after listening to Tuo Pu's words, he only shook his head again and again: "Master Tuo Pu is ashamed of the juniors, I ...... Although I effectively imitate the heart of my great-ancestors, where can I compare with the masters, and where can I compare with my great-ancestors. I came to Southern Xinjiang all for my own selfishness, not only did I not measure myself, but I also caused the death of my companions in Wanbao Pavilion, and now I am also involved in you running for me, I am very ashamed. ”

"Ouyang Gongzi, you are ...... again Alas, we said it before we came, entering this southern Xinjiang was all voluntary by Lao You himself and his brothers, and he was in danger halfway, so our cultivation was also poor, what do you have to do with Ouyang Gongzi?" You Tong thought of his dead companion, and he was also very uncomfortable, but he comforted him.

Another monk wearing a black robe with the Dharma name "Tuoyin", with a kind appearance, intercepted You Tong's words and said: "Amitabha, there is a cycle of cause and effect in the world, and there is a definite number of life and death, so don't blame yourself too much." Without waiting for Ouyang Nan to speak, he continued: "The word selfishness is really difficult to break. Even if I am a Buddhist, I must introspect myself every day, abstain from greed, hatred, and infatuation, and dare not say that I have no selfishness. Just like this time, my senior brother and I were traveling abroad, but I heard that there was still a holy blood marrow in the Wu clan, and I couldn't help but rush to try one or two, although this thing was asked for by an elder in the temple, but isn't it selfish? Ouyang Gongzi's selfishness is to save Ouyang Zhuang's owner, a piece of filial piety, the Buddha naturally understands, Ouyang Gongzi does not have to be too harsh on himself. ”

"Thank you, Master Toyin, for your explanation. The heaviness in Ouyang Nan's heart did not decrease, but he still said so.

Toyin knew that he was obsessed with the death of his companion before, and he was worried about the safety of everyone after entering the valley a few days later, but this matter needed to be figured out by himself.

"It is rumored that on the night of the full moon, the holy lotus blooms, and it is rare to be sunny these days, and the sun and moon are better than tonight. Tuoyin wanted to divert the topic, but Ouyang Nan's face became more and more gloomy.

Although he is more knowledgeable than his senior brother Tuopu, he has been practicing penance for many years, and only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing.

The news of the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus had spread widely in Southern Xinjiang, and many people had gathered around the Rising Moon Valley one after another.

On the night of the full moon, when the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus opens, the sword light and sword shadow, and the blood spills the valley, who will pay attention to the beautiful scenery of the moonlight?

"Master Tuopu, Master Tuoyin. Ouyang Nan raised his head and said, "Although I want to obtain the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus, this is my Ouyang family's business after all, and what the two masters ask for is not here." In the past few days, I have thought a lot, in the southern Xinjiang, there are masters everywhere, if I can get the lotus, it will naturally be better, if I can't do anything, the safety of the two masters and you is the first, there is no need to risk it for me Ouyang Nan. ”

"Amitabha, donor Ouyang and rest assured, we will pay attention. Tuoyin said with a smile: "However, this matter is not necessarily impossible. My senior brother and I traveled abroad, and after receiving the news of the Holy Blood Marrow, I contacted an elder in the temple, who had always been practicing penance, and it happened to be not far away. Count the days, and tomorrow at the latest should meet us. ”

"I don't know which monk it is?"

"The benefactor should have seen it, it is Master Hanming of the Despicable Temple. ”

Ouyang Nan blurted out an "ah" when he heard this, his face was slightly uncomfortable for a moment, and then he regained his naturalness and said, "It turned out to be his old man." ”

This Master Hanming is the senior monk of Dayan Temple who went to Cunwei Mountain to watch the true tradition, and he is also the person who witnessed the public case of the Danding faction and Cunwei Mountain that could not be told to outsiders.

What happened back then, both sides had their own differences. Although the two elders were furious, the family was ugly, and it involved a woman's innocence, so the people present knew the ins and outs.

As one of the sects concerned, Ouyang Nan was naturally a little uncomfortable, especially thinking of the junior sister who had to live in the deep mountains for the life of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.

Master Hanming is a high-ranking monk, so naturally he will not tell the people in the temple about that matter, nor will he publicize it everywhere. Tuoyin only knew that Ouyang Nan had also gone to Cunwei Mountain back then, so he said this.

"Uncle Han Ming's cultivation is profound, even if he can't take the lotus and return, he should be able to keep us safe. Toyin said with a smile.

Ouyang Nan was about to nod, when Tuo Pu suddenly shouted: "What person?!" As soon as the words started, the others had already popped out like electric shoots, chasing them in a certain direction in the night.

The smile on Tuoyin's face suddenly stopped, Ouyang Nan and You Tong immediately jumped up, and the rest of the monks were also on guard.

"Master Tuoyin, just ......" You Tong said with difficulty.

Tuoyin's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "What Senior Brother has learned is the Heavenly Dragon Ananda Heart Sutra of the Despicable Temple, and in addition to facing the enemy, he is also very sensitive to the surrounding environment. If he senses someone, it must be good. ”

"Could it be that the Blood River Sect is the gang again?" Ouyang Nan asked anxiously.

Tuo Yin pondered for a moment before replying: "There is one thing that the poor monk has never asked Master Ouyang, can there be any acquaintances of you in this southern Xinjiang, or have the predecessors of the Medicine Saint informed your acquaintances of your whereabouts?"

"I ...... I came here to look for the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus without permission, my great ancestor didn't know it, and I didn't know anyone in Southern Xinjiang, why did the master ask this?" Ouyang Nanqi said.

"When we met the donor that day, it seemed that someone deliberately led it, and in the days that followed, Senior Brother Tuopu privately said that it seemed that someone was following nearby, and Fang Cai might be the person that Senior Brother said. ”

Ouyang Nan was stunned, half happy and half worried in his heart: "Is it possible...... Is it his people? Yes, possibly. He will appear in Yunmeng Daze, maybe he will hide in southern Xinjiang in the past few years...... Brother Shao, Brother Shao, although I am incompetent, I have always believed in your innocence, why don't you recognize me?"

Ouyang Nan was not a very confident person, and he felt that he was cowardly and incompetent for a while, so he couldn't help Shao Heng. Immediately, he thought again: "If the tail is really Brother Shao's person, if Master Tuopu catches him, what will it be?"

Although he trusted Shao Heng, Tuopu and Tuoyin would not believe a rumored murderer and betrayed the sect.

Between Ouyang Nan's gains and losses, Tuo Pu had returned to the camp alone. Seeing that Tuo Pu didn't catch the tail follower, Ouyang Nan breathed a sigh of relief without showing a trace.

"How?" asked Toyin.

"That person is very alert, his cultivation is not high, but his body is fast. I was afraid of alarming the people in the demon gate, so I didn't dare to shoot with all my strength, and he found an opportunity to run away. However, judging by his body, he is not a member of the Blood River Sect. Tuo Pu said with a straight face.

"This person is probably just a spy, if he is not a member of the Blood River Sect, who is it?" Tuoyin said and recited the Buddha's chant in a low voice.

Whoever was present was silent in the moonlight.

In addition to Dayan Temple and Ouyang Nan, many people had gathered outside the Rising Moon Valley at this time, just waiting for the fifteenth day to enter the valley.

The Colorful Holy Soul Lotus is hard to find for thousands of years, and its branches, leaves, flowers, and petals all have their own wonderful uses, and it is no wonder that the people in the Demon Sect who came for the Holy Blood Marrow of the Wu Clan couldn't help but turn around halfway and wanted to try to get a piece of the pie.

Star Luo Sect is no exception.

Qu Shaoying's gaze swept over Shao Heng's body suspiciously, and when he looked at Dugu Xing, he was respectful: "Young Sect Master, although the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus will mature and bloom on the night of the full moon, this place is the territory of my Star Luo Sect after all, even if the rest of the sects secretly send people to sneak in, how can they compare with us in terms of numbers, why don't we enter the valley in advance and control the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus in our hands? In this way, what else can others do?"

"Stupid. Dugu Xing looked in the direction of the Rising Moon Valley in front of him and spat out a word coldly.

Although Qu Shaoying was a pawn he arranged in the Phantom Sect to disgust Luo Yukun, Duguxing didn't look down on the other party in his heart, and he didn't bother to explain to him at this time.

Behind the two of them were the seven Earth Demon Lords, including Shao Heng, and the rest of the disciples such as Gou You and Guo Ming.

Previously, a total of nine Earth Demon Lords dispatched the Battle of Southern Xinjiang, but they all went their own way and did not have much intersection. Although Shao Heng was named by the sect master and hung the title of half of the principal, it was naturally impossible to order the rest of the people, so he could only rely on intelligence to facilitate the layout.

Where he was really at war with the Wu Clan, Shao Heng was inconvenient to intervene deeply, and it was also contrary to what Dugu Ji ordered.

But Duguxing brought more than half of the Earth Demons to this time.

Thinking of this, Shao Heng sneered in his heart.

"Qin Xiu, you say. Suddenly, Duguxing spoke.

Qu Shaoying's face was ugly, and he stared at Shao Heng viciously, as if he was going to strip him of the pith if he said one more word.

Shao Heng was not afraid of him, and immediately said unhurriedly: "Everyone wants the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus, if our sect enters the valley, it will inevitably be discovered by others, and if there is no time to control the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus, it will become the target of everyone. I think that others think the same way, and they don't want to be the first. ”

"That's a good point. Duguxing praised lightly, ignoring the various meanings in the eyes of the others.

Shao Heng did not die in the secluded illusion, and Duguxing was naturally dissatisfied in his heart. But he also knew that Qian Feng's old man had a strange temperament and was often silent, and now that the other party was around, he would naturally find another way.

At the same time, he also wanted to explore further, this registered disciple that Senior Sister Luo valued.

"But you still missed a point, speaking of which, you just returned to southern Xinjiang, and it's normal to not know. Lian Bin, you tell them. Duguxing ordered another person.

Lian Bin didn't squint, his expression was as cold as Dugu Xing, and he said like a puppet: "According to the report, the Wu Clan is looking for the Colorful Holy Soul Lotus, and this time the Wu Clan's Holy Maiden left the Holy Land for no reason, and it was for this thing that came for this thing. ”

Qu Shaoying swept away the previous embarrassment and anger at this time, first confused, and then suddenly realized, with a little joy on his face, he wanted to speak, but he only got the word "shut up" from Duguxing.

Shao Heng bowed his head slightly as always, and his eyes were obscure: he tried his best to lure the snake out of the hole, but the other party also had the intention of capturing.

Shao Heng went back and forth in his heart, deducing over and over again every possibility that was about to happen,

Who wins and who loses, who lives and who dies, may be the difference between Shao Heng and Duguxing's plans at this time.

On Shao Heng's chest, the Heavenly Illusion Bead was slightly hot, whether it was Gong Ling or Hai Mozang, the gaze that looked at Dugu Xing was like a hot soldering iron.

The strange thing is that the mysterious Qian Feng Lao'er is missing from the beads.
