Chapter 8: The Guards

The rain fell on the tile surface of Shangqingguan, down the river, and dripped on the grass blades on the ground.

Drop by drop, it falls to the ground and seeps into the ground.

The rainwater from the mountains flows into a small stream and flows by the temple.

On a rainy night, it was extremely dark, and a cold wind blew into the Taoist temple, blowing the sparks in the fire.

"Why?" Tu Yuan stopped as he stirred with the fire.

"It is said that they all have a kind of heart spell planted on them, and they are all trapped here by themselves. Dahan said.

"Curse?"

"It's been so long that we can't know why they planted this spell, and there are many rumors, but one of them is that they were deceived. ”

"Who?"

"Shangqing Fan Xuanzi. Dahan said.

"How did she cheat?"

"It is said that she once told all the people in Shangqing that they would not die, and that his master would come across the endless dark sky to help them, and these people were trapped in this lie, and became an oath in their hearts, and fell under the spell of Fan Xuanzi, so they could not be freed even if they died, so they had to wait all the time. Dahan said.

Tu Yuan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "When is this?"

Big Hammer calculated for a moment and said, "It's been more than five hundred years. ”

More than 500 years, more than 500 years?

Tu Yuan's heart echoed with the time of more than 500 years.

"It's just that more than five hundred years later, I came, and my disciple, where are you?"

An electric light flashed down from the sky.

"It's thundering. Dahan stood up, came to the door, and looked at the sky. "In the land, except for a few other places, only here can you see thunder. ”

"Xiaosheng heard that this was once a world of pure and harmonious Taoism, how could it become like this, demons are rampant, and the weather is also changing. The scholar said.

Tu Yuan felt the difference in the weather since he came here, originally he thought that this was the case, but now after listening to them, he realized that this was not the case here, but something happened to become like this, obviously that thing may be the matter of Shangqingguan.

"This piece of heaven is actually dead. Dahan said.

There is no life in the sky, and naturally there is no such thing as life and death, but Tu Yuan can understand what the word 'death' means by this person, this death can also be understood as broken, or it can be said that the law is messed up, making it difficult for people on this land to cast spells here.

In the words that used to be on the earth, this piece of heaven and earth is polluted and cannot be cultivated normally. It's not good for cultivators to practice here, and if they cultivate, they may become demons.

On the mountain in the distance, a strange tree writhed in the light of thunder.

"How did that Peacock Kingdom disappear?" Tu Yuan asked again.

"I don't know, no one knows about the period when the Peacock Kingdom disappeared. Dahan said, he stood in front of the door, like a mountain blocking the wind and rain at the door.

"They seemed to disappear overnight. The scholar said.

Tu Yuan felt a kind of horror and horror, he had seen that the Peacock King was able to fight the three celestials, and caused the three celestials to be seriously injured.

But here, there are people who can make the Peacock Kingdom disappear and cut that period of time from heaven and earth.

However, why did Xuanzi's words spread again, and they were not intercepted together. Tu Yuan thought in his heart: "When and where did that sentence come from?" ”

"I don't know what you call you, why did you come here?" the big man asked suddenly when he turned around.

Tu Yuan looked at the big man with a black beard on his face, and said with a smile: "Walking, naturally I came here." ”

"No one who walks here can come here. Dahan said.

"Oh, it seems that I am very special, I wonder where you come from?" Tu Yuan asked.

"Qingmei Mountain, Autumn Tribulus. Dahan said.

Tu Yuan didn't know where this Qingmei Mountain was, but he knew that these two people were definitely not passing by here, but guarding this Shangqingguan here.

"How many years have you been guarding this Shangqingguan?" Tu Yuan sat by the fire, and when he asked this sentence, the big man and the scholar were stunned for a moment.

Then the eyes of both of them appeared with a strange brilliance, and the scholar asked, "It seems that the Taoist Master really came here." ”

Tu Yuan smiled and did not answer the scholar's words, but looked at the big man named Qiu Yu and asked, "Why did Qingmei Mountain let you come here." ”

Qiu Yu's eyes were like swords, staring at Tu Yuan, and suddenly laughed, "It seems that there is really some origin." ”

The moment Tu Yuan finished his words, the black and white light on his body surged, he sat and didn't move, but the whole person seemed to rush to the front of Qiu Yu, his eyes stared at the big man coldly, and a red light was already hanging in front of him in the sword box on the big man's back, blocking the black and white light that Tu Yuan rushed towards him.

The red sword light shone up, and the phantom-like Tu Yuan only flicked his fingers, and the sword light dispersed, and Qiu Yu retreated in panic as if he had been hit hard.

The scholar on the other side only saw a flash of black and white light on Tu Yuan's body, and a figure rushed out, and then retracted, still sitting on the stone pier, holding a burning dead wood in his hand.

After that, Qiu Yu took a few steps back with his chest and leaned against the door, and there was a strong wind and rain outside the door, and the wind wrapped in the rain instantly wet his clothes.

Tu Yuan looked at the scholar and asked, "Where are you from?"

"I don't know what that means?" the scholar asked, a little alarmed.

The black and white light in Tu Yuan's eyes swirled, and the scholar's originally vigilant eyes quickly relaxed.

"Where are you from?"

"White Valley Academy. ”

"What are you doing here?"

"Guarding the Qingguan. ”

"Why do you want to guard Shangqingguan?"

"The academy has always sent people to guard here, and each mission lasts for three years. ”

"Where did the Mauryan Empire go?"

As soon as Tu Yuancai asked this sentence, the book woke up suddenly.

And Tu Yuan looked at the void in the underworld.

"What did you do to me?" the scholar looked at Tu Yuan in horror.

But Tu Yuan didn't pay attention to him at all, he was still reminiscing about that moment just now, as if there was a force that woke up the scholar.

This power seems to come from the depths of the heavens, and it seems to come from the heart of the scholar.

Even Tu Yuan couldn't tell the difference, but he knew that there was something similar to a 'heart mantra', and even these people themselves didn't know it.

Tu Yuan got up and stepped into the darkness full of wind and rain.

The fire in the Shangqing Temple was still burning, but it was flying in the wind and then dissipated in a short time.

Tu Yuan walked into the darkness step by step, towards the back of Shangqingguan, and came to a strange tree, which was covered with wisteria, and each vine bore fruit, but the fruit was pitch black and ugly like a demon.

Tu Yuan thought of the ginseng fruit, but compared to the legendary white and crystalline ginseng fruit, the fruit on this tree looked filthy and terrifying.

Every fruit is like a demon.

Tu Yuan stretched out his hand and picked a ghost fruit, and the pitch-black ghost-like ghost fruit showed a painful expression, and made a voice: "One day, my master will cross the endless dark sky and shatter this piece of heaven and earth. ”

The devil fruit turned into sludge on his hands and fell to the earth.

But Tu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of heartache in his heart, as if he had been caught, and he listened to the painful and difficult voice of the ghost fruit, which was actually the same as Xuanzi's voice.

That should be Xuanzi's last words left on this land. Tu Yuan thought in his heart, looking up at the sky, a lightning bolt fell, illuminating his wet face.
