The Great Hall of the Heavens.

The heads and elders of the previous deliberations have all left, and only Hengxu Zhenren standing high above is left in the hall, as well as Xie Buchen, who was left behind by his words.

Zhou Tianxingchen's Great Array was spinning quietly behind him, but he couldn't calculate any heavenly chances.

Hengxu Zhenren's gaze fell on Xie Buchen's body below, as if he was looking at him, and seemed to see something else through him.

There was no speech for a while.

The whole hall of the heavens was vast, empty, and quiet.

It wasn't until the wind blowing in the sky suddenly filled the hall and let out a faintly sharp whimpering sound, that his eyes flickered slightly.

"Do you know why I had to send you on this trip to the snowy region?"

Xie Buchen is a very calm person.

Previously, Hengxu Zhenren didn't speak, so he didn't bother, but now when asked about his opinion on this matter, he didn't show much expression on his face as usual, and only replied: "Master's consideration, the disciple can't guess it." But I think it has something to do with the disciples, and it's not a bad thing. ”

Hengxu Zhenren laughed suddenly.

He slowly walked down the steps, step by step, closer to Xie Buchen, and then regained his footsteps.

"You guessed right. It's just that it's not just some relationships. ”

Xie Buchen raised his eyes, stared at Hengxu Zhenren, and did not answer.

"You should know that you are the one who can solve the catastrophe of Kunwu according to the heavenly machine. ”

"Therefore, after the hidden realm of Qingfeng Nunnery, although you almost fell into a situation of annihilation, you can also use the strange treasure left by the carp king to reunite your soul for you. ”

"It's just that after this experience, your cultivation far beyond ordinary people has come to naught. ”

When he said this, the voice of the real person was deep, and it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze that could not be dispersed.

"With your talent and understanding, Jindan is just a snap of a finger. ”

"But if you want to go further and get out of the body, you have to go through the calamity of conscience. How many monks in the world either did not dare to break through, or were wiped out in the Dao Tribulation. ”

"I'm worried, she's not dead, you can't get through this catastrophe. ”

She didn't die, and she couldn't get over this catastrophe.

On Xie Buchen's clear face, the expression finally changed slightly. Between his eyebrows and eyes, in addition to indifference and indifference, he suddenly became a little more unpredictable......

But he still didn't speak.

He knew how he entered the Tao in the first place, and he also knew it in his heart.

After all, it is the first seat of Kunwu, and it is the first person on the face of the Nineteen Continents today, and it doesn't matter when Hengxu Zhenren found out that "Yashan is sorrowful" is the wife he killed in the past. Maybe it was the moment when she set foot on the Nineteen Continents, maybe it was the moment when her name spread......

The important thing is that she didn't die, and what it meant to him.

Those who do not die have become demons.

Inner demons.

It grows and spreads in the bottom of his heart, crawling all over his heart, covering every inch of flesh and blood, every bit of soul......

She is not dead, which means that his love and love have not been cut off after all, and it means that he still has this only weakness.

Xie Buchen closed his eyes slightly, and when he raised his eyes again, the eyes that had flickered and shook a little bit before returned to normal.

It's like the cold rain in the mountains.

"So, did the master send me to the snowy region this time for the sake of the Nine Doubts?"

It's really amazing, and it's a little bit clear.

Even though he had already learned something when he instructed him to practice before, at this moment, Hengxu couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.

It's so smart, even so smart that it's close to a demon.

"Not much, since you can say the words 'Nine Doubts', you must also know about this thing. ”

"In ancient times, the long night of eternity dawned, hundreds of tribes rose together, strange beasts, demon gods and monks fought, and the fairy world had not yet been formed. This tripod was originally a piece of white jade in the snowy region of my nineteen continents, and later it was occasionally seen by the White Crane Emperor, the strongest monk at that time, and then refined into a tripod, called 'Nine Doubts'. ”

"It contains all things, can swallow the breath of heaven and earth, and can also receive the punishment of heaven. ”

In ancient times, the group cultivated brilliantly, each in its own way, and finally gathered the power of ten thousand immortals to create a unique realm among the trillions of stars in the universe. The name is said -

Shangxu Immortal World!

And the White Crane Emperor was the strongest among the ten thousand immortals at that time. Even, the entire glorious ancient era was actually ended by him.

In other words, the Nine Doubts Ding is really an immortal Ding!

Although Hengxu Zhenren has been practicing for a long time, he has only touched the tail of the ancients.

He had only heard of the glory of that era.

Only the Eight Extremes Dao Zun, Green Leaf Ancestor and others who became famous at the turn of ancient and modern times can be regarded as truly appreciating the style of that vertical and horizontal era.

But there is something about the Nine Doubts, but he is very clear: "After the opening of the Shangxu Immortal Realm, all the immortals moved to the Immortal Realm, and since then they have hidden their traces in the mortal and lower realm. However, the peak of the nine doubts was released by the White Crane Emperor into the snowy region, and it merged with its mountains, rivers and snowfields. ”

Xie Buchen's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly.

Generally speaking, if you have a little bit of cultivation, you can drive a few points of magic weapons. Since the Nine Doubts Ding is an immortal tripod, it should not be used by monks who have not yet attained the Dao.

And Hengxu Zhenren also said that this tripod has been integrated with the snowy region, how can it be obtained?

As if he could see his concerns and questions, Hengxu Zhenren only said: "Yashan has the heritage of Yashan, and Kunwu also has Kunwu's secrets." Nine doubts, I have my own way of enlightenment. ”

With a flip of his hand, a rusty iron easily appeared between his fingers.

There are dense golden marks floating on it, like ants, and after staring at it for a long time, it feels like it is shaking all the time, and it is getting faster and faster, which actually gives people a feeling of dizziness.

Hengxu handed it to Xie Buchen: "After you go to the snowy region, be careful about everything." The fall of my Kunwu Elder disciples, the strange conspiracy of the Snowy Tantra, you can investigate it, if the situation is too evil, it doesn't hurt if you can't investigate it. The most important thing is this tripod. If you get this tripod, you don't have to worry about it. ”

“…… The disciples obeyed. ”

Xie Buchen took the iron slip, and when his fingertips touched the rusty surface, a line of floating golden words slowly flowed into his mind like a gurgling stream.

It's just that it's not fast, and it's not like the jade slips that monks usually use to record, and all the information recorded on it can be conveyed in an instant.

It's more like a circular river.

When a person stands in the middle of it, he can only see the words flowing at a time, and he cannot immediately see the whole picture, but he must stand in the middle of the river and wait for the round river to turn around before he can know.

The subtleties in this have not been touched by Xie Buchen before, but the real people have already been clear.

He smiled slightly, and said, "The sooner you go to the snowy region, the better, otherwise it will inevitably change." If you have nothing important, hurry there today and tomorrow. ”

"Yes. ”

Xie Buchen agreed, then bowed down to say goodbye to Hengxu Zhenren, and left the Heavenly Hall first.

On the steps, only the real people standing in the void remained.

Looking at the Yunhai Square outside the main hall, Xie Buchen's figure was getting farther and farther away, and the slight smile on his face gradually disappeared.

An expressionless face became obscure in the shadows of the Great Hall of the Heavens.

*

Xie Buchen left Kunwu that night.

He has a cold temperament, and since he killed his wife and begged to worship Kunwu, he has rarely talked to people, and he has no intention of meeting too many people.

After all, the nineteen continents are different from the islands in the world.

On an isolated island in the world, water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat. The power of one person, after all, is like a drop in the ocean, and it is easy to be swallowed up by the sea.

But in the nineteen continents, there are outstanding people all over the place, and the strong are respected. The power of one person, whipping the mountains and chasing the sea, swallowing the sun and the moon, can be truly "above 10,000 people".

So, meeting too many people is not of great use to him. And his strategy and ability are enough for him to have someone available at critical moments.

That's enough.

Therefore, when he left, he did not let people know, and no one was needed to see him off.

The night is cold and dewy.

On the cliff of the back mountain directly opposite the wooden house, the waterfall rushing down has become much smaller, and the pool below has also become shallower, revealing a few black stones at the bottom of the pool that have been washed away for an unknown number of years.

At this moment, Xie Buchen was standing under the wall in the house, with the faint sound of a falling waterfall coming from outside, but in front of him was the mortal sword that was hung high.

With its sheath, in such a cold and silent night, it can't see half a minute of cold light.

The direction and angle of this hanging are exactly the same as when it was hung in the thatched hut of Gurong Village in the past.

The difference is......

After he stepped on the Immortal Dao, this sword had an additional name - he called it, Seven Points.

In the past, when he went out, whether it was cultivation or traveling, he never took it out.

This sword has always hung here.

Even if a fellow disciple came, or even an elder came, when he saw it, he only thought it was an unsurprising mortal sword, and thought it was a thought he left behind related to the island in the world.

But in fact......

And that's not all.

In the daytime, the words spoken by Hengxu Zhenren standing on the steps of the Great Hall of the Heavens echoed in his ears again......

Nine doubts.

No matter how you look at it, it's all for his good, even if Hengxu doesn't know that he doesn't really need it. But everything he saw with his eyes was telling him that it was not that simple.

A big faction like Kungo has a wide distribution of power, and its internal affairs are also complicated.

A monk who can steadily control Kunwu for more than 600 years like a real person is a simple person?

Xie Buchen's eyes darkened a little.

Eventually, he reached out and took the long-standing sword off the wall for the first time, gently brushing the dust off its scabbard.

But he didn't draw his sword to look at it, but the golden light flashed between his palms, and the sword disappeared.

If there was a powerful monk here, it would be easy to see that this sword was not put into his bag, but went somewhere else.

For example, the Aomine-an Hidden Realm.

In the whole house, there is only a dim light.

Not long ago, the human emperor's sword, which was returned to its original owner, quietly leaned against the lamp.

Xie Buchen walked over, gently blew out the lamp, and then took the human emperor sword in the dark, walked out of the door with smooth steps, and turned back to close the door.

The small copper lock hanging on the door looks a little old.

At that moment, it coincided with the locks that suddenly appeared in his mind and were covered with patina.

The five fingers, slender as jade, stiffened for a moment.

The moonlight like water fell behind him, obliquely shining on the copper lock in his palm, so that a faint reflection of light entered his eyes.

But Xie Buchen finally let it go.

He has never regretted the choices he has made in the past.

I didn't regret it at the beginning.

I won't regret it in the future.

He let go slowly, letting the lock crash against the wooden door with a slight thud, and didn't look at it again.

The cold autumn wind brought the dead leaves from the mountains and spread a layer in front of the wooden house.

Xie Buchen walked down the steps, and then followed the path that opened up in the back mountain forest, gradually walked away, and disappeared into the dark shadows of the trees.

*

Snowy Tantra, in the easternmost part of the Northern Regions.

Originally, it was a bitterly cold and inaccessible place, and according to legend, only some ascetics who lived in seclusion lived there.

Therefore, no one would want to build a teleportation array in such a place.

Before the eleventh Jiazi, shortly after the war in the Yin and Yang world, Buddhism moved north and split, and the snowy region was occupied by the Tantra of the two Zen and Tantric sects, and since then it has become a place of isolation.

The teleportation array in the outside world is enough for ordinary monks to travel all over the Nineteen Continents.

However, it does not include snowy areas.

For the monks in the rest of the Nineteen Continents, this is still a virgin land.

At this time, there is no known teleportation array leading to the snowy region.

Even the elders and disciples sent by various factions to the snowy region to secretly inquire about the news a few years ago all relied on their own strength to resist weapons or control the sky.

Not to mention, there is still a strange barrier shrouded in the sky above the snowy region now, and I am afraid that even if there is a teleportation array, it will not be used.

But Xie Buchen did not go directly from Kunwu to the snowy region.

He first passed through the teleportation array, from Kunwu to the easternmost Xinghai of Tomorrow in the Central Region, and then transferred from the teleportation array of Shattered Immortal City to Hanhai City, the northernmost part of the Xinghai.

Then he left the city and headed north.

Such a choice of distance will undoubtedly save most of the time.

After all, Kunwu is three thousand left in the middle region, and it is really a long way to go directly to the snowy region. Starting from the northernmost city of the Tomorrow Star Sea can make the trip the shortest.

Because of the huge sea of stars of tomorrow, it is connected to the mysterious snowy region to the north.

Within half a day, all the basins had disappeared.

In front of Xie Buchen's eyes, there were only higher and higher and more treacherous lofty mountains, and occasionally his spiritual sense swept by, and he could also detect some spirits and monsters living in the reckless jungle.

The monks were almost gone.

Except for a special tea house.

Xie Buchen saw it at noon the next day, just as he flew past the mountains.

It was built on the top of the highest peak in that mountain range, covered with simple thatch, a few rolls of bamboo curtains hung down, and a dark blue flag raised a "tea" word, which was blown by the cold mountain wind.

He couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart, and as soon as the spiritual energy running in his body was collected, he landed in front of this peak tea house.

Looking inside, there are still a lot of people.

They are all monks, some of them are old and some of them are young, and there are all kinds of costumes, most of them are from the sea of stars tomorrow. But there are also a few conspicuous ones, with shaved green skin and a different red monk's robe, who are actually monks.

This place can be said to be at the junction of the Central and Northern Regions, and this tea house is between the Tomorrow Star Sea and the Snow Domain.

The monks who appeared here, and they were still dressed like this, would not have come from Zen Buddhism.

Everyone says that tomorrow, the three sects and nine streams of the Xinghai will converge, and it will be chaotic and disorderly.

Since these monks came from the snowy region, they must have gone to the sea of stars tomorrow. Looking at the different temperaments and all kinds of tea customers here, you will know that this is true.

"The guest officer is going to the snowy region?"

A young man dressed as a shopkeeper in the tea house, carrying a large teapot in his hand, had just added tea to a monk inside, turned his head and saw Xie Buchen, and immediately greeted him warmly.

"It's not normal these days, so you might as well come in and have a cup of tea and think about it. ”

This kind of tea house is like a border town on the other side of Great Xia, and there are many people coming and going, so it is often also a place for message transmission and exchange.

Something happened in the snowy region, of course Xie Buchen knew.

But when he saw the few tantric monks sitting together in the tea house, he didn't refuse, and after saying "I'm tired," he walked in.

At that moment, everyone sitting in the tea room turned their heads to look at him.

But after discovering that he only had the cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, many people turned their heads and obviously didn't take it to heart. Some people also felt that his appearance was too good and his bearing was extraordinary, so they looked at him for a while.

One of them, a fat man with a face full of flesh and a big gold ring on his ear, looked at it for a long time. It wasn't until Xie Buchen entered the tea house and picked a table outside to sit down with his back to them that he withdrew his gaze.

"Your tea. ”

As soon as he sat down, he ran over with a teapot, and a stoneware bowl was placed on the table, and a bowl full of tea was poured.

The tea house was built on the top of the hill, and it was very simple, and the tables and stools inside were old and simple, even crumbling, and as for the tea bowls......

Xie Buchen easily put the Human Emperor Sword held in his right hand on the table.

The tea bowl in front of you, you don't have to touch it, you can see the uneven surface in the light.

As for the tea in it, the tea color is indifferent, the water color is turbid, and there is no tea fragrance.

Where does it look like you can drink?

This thought had just turned in his mind, and before he could think about the question of whether to drink or not, another voice came from outside the tea house.

"Little Er, come to a bowl of tea!"

It turned out to be a woman's voice, which was not crisp when it was said to be crisp, and it was not hoarse when it was said to be hoarse, but it sounded like a peaceful taste, as if the spring breeze was blowing in the face.

When the people in the tea house heard this, they couldn't help but raise their heads.

When Xie Buchen heard this voice, his eyelids jumped even more, and a familiar feeling rose from the depths of his limbs and souls, making him follow everyone and look up together.

A slender, beautiful and upright figure has stepped into the tea house.

The delicate facial features are embedded in her fair face, which is originally inclined to a gentle and gentle appearance, but because of the indifferent frost and snow dotted in those bright eyes, it is dyed with a cold and bright color that cannot be touched.

When she saw Xie Buchen, she raised her eyebrows as if surprised, and then walked towards him.

"Smack. ”

A bang.

The lamp-burning sword with a faint sense of ancient Zen rested on the side of the cold and majestic human emperor sword.

Seeing that the hem of the robe was lifted neatly, the moon-white robe fluttered out of a beautiful arc, as if he had seen an old friend who had a good relationship, and sat down directly on Xie Buchen's right side, with a kind and bright smile on his lips.

"Where do you not meet in life. Thank you Daoyou, it's really fate!"
