In the early morning of the next day, when the sun was shining in all directions, I saw Zhou Heng on the side slowly pushing open the gate of the county government and heading towards the farmland outside the county.

On the fifth watch, the fields outside the county were still a little damp, and the dew wet Zhou Heng's clothes, and the people who were working saw him and surrounded him, arguing to say that it was hard to save the dam from the old man, and there was no need to worry about the winter this year, at least it was no problem to eat enough!

Zhou Heng on the side said with a smile: "Hehe, next year should be better, the sea pond we worked so hard to build will be useful!"

Hearing this, everyone said: "Haha, it's really thanks to the master, otherwise, we would still be hiding in the mountains!"

And when they were in the midst of the commotion, some people said worriedly: "But, sir, the Japanese have not come for several months, maybe there will be a lot of people! In the past, more than 1,000 people came at one time, killing people everywhere and setting fires, that miserable! There was blood everywhere......

Zhou Heng on the side comforted everyone: "Hmph, don't be afraid, this time it will be much better, when you see the beacon tower on fire, everyone will hide in the city, the current county town is very strong, and the Japanese can't break it!"

I saw an old man on the side and said: "Some places are too far away from the county seat, and the people can't run over, so the old man can help, and ask everyone to work together, if only a few more small cities could be built." ”

Zhou Heng nodded vigorously: "This is a good idea! When the autumn harvest is over, we will build a few more small cities, so that everyone can find a place to hide!"

Everyone on one side said that it was really wonderful! Suddenly, some people knelt on the ground gratefully, saying that they had met a good official who was once in a lifetime.

Zhou Heng asked everyone to get up and said in a loud voice: "Haha, it is the responsibility of the county to protect the people, as long as everyone works together, any difficulties can be overcome!

And three days later, Zhao Min's six yin terminal disease was finally cured!

On the side, she was so happy that she burst into tears, came over and kissed Zhou Heng on the cheek on the side, and then ran away.

After a while, she came back with a red face and asked, "Gongzi Zhou, can I unite the spirit and body now?"

Zhou Heng on the side thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's not good, once the spirit body is united, it will touch the Nine Yin Lock Soul of the Xuanyin Sect, even if you are not harmed, it will attract the demons to chase after you, then not only will we be in trouble, but the people of this county will not be happy." ”

I saw Zhou Heng on the side who was silent for a while, and said to Zhou Heng faintly: "I really hope that the ban can be lifted as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Heng on the side comforted her and said: "In a few days, we will find a deserted mountain forest, and I will go to lay out the most complex formation, where you can unite the spirit body, even if the demon path comes, you can also maneuver around." ”

Zhao Min on the side was fascinated for a while, then shook his head and said, "Zhou Gongzi, don't want it! Instead of taking risks, it is better to wait until the Nine Yin Lock Soul is removed." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Heng didn't insist, he wanted to surprise her after the big array was arranged, he thought to himself: "Hehe, this time we must prepare carefully, and we can't bring disaster to the people of this county." If my skill increases a little more, with careful preparation, I may be able to get unexpected results, and it would be even better if I could take the opportunity to kill a few demons of the Nine Yin Sect!"

And after a while, Zhao Min on the side suddenly proposed: "I heard that the scenery of Qihe Mountain is very beautiful, why don't we go and have a look?"

Suddenly, Zhou Heng on the side applauded repeatedly: "Haha, while the people are busy harvesting, there is nothing to do in the county, let's go out to have fun." It's been a year, and I haven't visited Qihe Mountain carefully, so I really disappointed the beautiful scenery. ”

Zhao Min on the side said worriedly: "Alas, Fanghua is easy to pass by, and the years are like flowing water! If I can't remove the Nine Ghost Lock Soul in ten years, I will be old!"

Zhou Heng smiled: "Hehe, how can it be? Immortal cultivators will still be as beautiful in another hundred years." ”

Zhou Heng, who saw him on the side, paused for a moment, and said: "But what you said is also reasonable, we have to untie this damn Nine Yin Lock Soul no matter what, otherwise, if you are not in a hurry, I will go crazy!"

Zhao Min on the side pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head and didn't look at him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, in August, the autumn is high and cool, Zhou Heng and Zhao Min on one side came to the foot of Qihe Mountain, the tourists are scarce, Zhou Heng and Zhao Min step on the stone path full of moss marks all the way, on both sides are dangerous rock Xiufeng, the valley is desperate, the trees are towering, a few birds are singing softly gently, a scene of paradise, follow the stream gradually, and soon arrive at Lingyan Temple.

I saw that in front of the Lingyan Temple on one side, there is a banner peak that is shaped like a fluttering flag, and there is a screen that is shaped like a screen and is like a colorful glow in five colors.

And in the west, there are steep Tianzhu Peak and the lonely and handsome Duxiu Peak in the wind, look up, only to see the peaks and rocks stand steeply, the dangerous peaks are stacked randomly, move and change shape, or Lingxiu or Xiongqi, or like a shepherd boy, or like a sunset love scene, or like an eagle flapping its wings, magical and beautiful!

Zhou Heng and Zhao Min on the side continued to move forward, sometimes there was a quiet stream in the empty valley mixed with the murmuring of the stream, the cool breeze was cool, and even the air seemed to be filtered, exuding the fragrance of pine trees and flowers on the cliff rock.

Zhao Min sighed lightly and said, "Alas, the mountains here are so beautiful. I don't know which god carved it. ”

Zhou Heng on the side didn't speak, he was already immersed in the wonderful scenery and waited for Scissors Peak.

Continue walking towards the Great Dragon. About thousands of years ago, there was a volcanic eruption here, the volcano erupted from the magma covered the wild path of barren grass and rocks, or blue gray, or yellow and white spots and the road side is a deep stream, the side of the stream is oblique with some reeds, the water reflects the bamboo shadow, along the stream deep, set foot on this trail gorge, look at it from a distance, you can see a bamboo bridge in the col on one side, several grass houses, and at this time the cool breeze is endless, you can hear the whistling of the mountain wind sweeping the tips of the pine trees.

The murmuring sound of the stream flowing through the stubborn rocks under the cliff, all the way to the mountain col, the fog rises, and the boulder next to the road can no longer cover the sound of the big dragon singing happily, Zhou Heng on the side raised his head to look, the drop of sixty zhang of the big dragon waterfall is like a silver curtain hanging down from the nine heavens.

But when it reached midair, it swayed in the air, and finally only gently swept the surface of the pool.

Zhao Min on the side of the rock wall, closed his eyes, let the wind send mist light beads on his face, listening to the sound of the big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate along the wall, the pool water of the big dragon is turquoise, and the green trees and green grass all over the mountain are soaked in it, like a piece of rare jade, in the mountain by the Tiangong God axe cut a gap, enjoy the essence of heaven and earth.

Zhou Heng on the side had never seen such a turquoise pool of water, so deep that people couldn't help but want to jump into the pool for a swim, he thought that the elixir of Yao Pond was like this, even if it was just a mouthful, it would be able to sleep for thousands of years.

Zhou Heng on the side was intoxicated for a long time, he looked up and saw the top of the mountain above the waterfall, where the green trees were covered and the fog was filled, which was fascinating, and he couldn't help but say to Zhao Min on the side: "Let's go up and have a look, okay?"

Zhou Heng on the side waited for a moment without replying, and when he looked back, Zhao Min was already intoxicated, his eyes were hazy, and there seemed to be a layer of mist on his face, I don't know if it was the splash scattered by the waterfall, or the tears that flowed out unconsciously in shock of the beautiful scenery, he raised his voice slightly before approaching and asked again.

I heard Zhao Min on the side say "um", looked at him before he came back to his senses, and said softly: "Okay, let's go up and have a look." ”

Zhou Heng on the side lightly lifted his mana, floated up, and soon stood on the top of the mountain, looking up, it was very open in front of him, and the top of the mountain was very flat.

There is a lake of tens of zhang size in the middle, the lake water is as crystal as jade, the sun shines with mist, the water is shining, the mountains are empty, the lake is surrounded by green trees, the grass is desolate, the big dragon waterfall is flowing down from a low depression by the lake, he took a few steps forward.

I found that there was a huge stone by the lake, on which were written the words "Crane Lake Wonderland", the handwriting was one inch deep, and it seemed to be carved out by a person with a knife. Carefully tasted, he felt that these words were very aptly described.

And there is a path in the forest, zigzag seems to be able to circle the lake, he walked along the path, walked for a long time, felt at least two or three laps around the lake, but the scene he saw in his eyes did not repeat the slightest bit, the path still extended forward, and the road under his feet seemed to have no end.

Zhou Heng on the side stopped, carefully inspected for a long time, and found that the arrangement of the trees turned out to be a very complex formation, and suddenly it could not be cracked, Zhou Heng stopped there and did not dare to move, after all, in the last world, he was crushing the world like a formation open, he immediately took out the jade slip engraved with seventy pieces of Guiguzi Qimen formation, and browsed it again from beginning to end, except for the last one, he knew all the formations well, and the name of the incomprehensible formation was "Xuanqing Tianlie Nine Arrays" , I've seen it many times before, I don't understand it very well, such a complex big array is not understandable alone, you must try the formation, the problem is that the improper trial formation will be extremely dangerous, but if you don't know the formation, the path in front of you will be the only safe passage, but it is also a passage that can't go to the end.

Zhou Heng on the side decided to take the risk to test the formation, and saw him take a solid old vine from the rock next to him, buckle one end to the tree on the side of the path, hold the other end in his hand, and take a step forward carefully, while Zhou Heng on the side just took a step, and suddenly there was darkness around him, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

There was only a little fluorescence on the way back, Zhou Heng carefully moved his steps back and forth, left and right, and finally found a direction, standing in the past, it was bright, and then took a step forward, and suddenly the wind blew in his face, which made people feel cold.

Zhou Heng groped for a long time to find the correct direction again, and continued to move forward suddenly turned into thunder and lightning again, and the electric light kept flashing in front of him, this time, it took Zhou Heng a longer time, about an hour to find the right place to settle again, and it was only a short three steps, it had already taken Zhou Heng two hours, as for whether these three steps were right or not, it was still unknown whether they could go to the end in the end.

Because, some formations may have been safe at the beginning, but when they were wrong, they were already deeply trapped in it, Zhou Heng on the side didn't dare to go too far, and followed the old vine and fell back, but it was easy to go back, because there was fluorescence pointing to the direction under his feet, he compared these three steps with the Guiguzi Seventy Formation, and found that the formation in front of him was a bit similar to the "Xuanqing Tianlie Nine Arrays", but the direction was reversed.

So he changed a tree and walked three steps in the reverse direction of the "Xuanqing Heavenly Column Nine Arrays", and at this time, these three steps became very easy!

"Haha, it seems that I really guessed correctly!" Zhou Heng on the side said with some relief.

So he put aside the old vine and walked forward, carefully calculated the direction of each step, and then took another step, and walked ninety-nine steps all the way calmly, and suddenly found that something was wrong when he took the hundredth step, and it seemed that the formation had changed again! When he looked back, the fluorescence that could still be seen out, it seemed that the people who set up the formation were kind-hearted, and they didn't want to trap the people who entered the formation inside.

And now he groped carefully, and found that it was originally a Tianheng Gangtai array, and he was more familiar with this array, so he walked very fast, walked another seventy-two steps, and suddenly walked out of the woods, and suddenly opened up in front of him, with blue sky and white clouds overhead, and a small lake like a crystal sapphire.

The small lake is embedded in the peaks, the lake is deep and secluded, the white clouds reflect each other, like a fairyland, and there is a hut in the shade of the green trees by the lake, and in front of the hut there is an old man standing with his hands tied, dressed in Taoist clothes, his face is as white as jade, and he is looking at him with a smile at this time.

Zhou Heng on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a deep salute, and said, "The kid doesn't know that the immortal is here, there is a lot of disturbance, please forgive me." ”

I saw the old man looking him up and down, as if he had seen through his inside and out, and laughed loudly: "Haha, I have been here for a thousand years, and the white horse has passed through the gap, and finally waited for the arrival of the distinguished guests, and please go into the thatched hut for a while." ”

After Zhou Heng entered the hut, he asked, "Dare to ask the name of Immortal Changgao?"

The old man on the side said with a long hair: "Hehe, the old man is the seventh generation of Heavenly Master Dao Heavenly Master Zhang Shengsheng is also." ”

When Zhou Heng on the side heard this, he suddenly got up, bowed heavily, and said: "The younger disciple Zhou Heng will see his uncle and ancestor." ”

Zhang Shengsheng is the great-great-grandson of the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and Zhang Daoling is also the founding patriarch of the Qingcheng faction, so in terms of generation, Zhang Shengsheng is dozens of generations higher than him.

I saw the old man on the side and said with a smile: "Haha, 1,200 years ago, the old man flew up in vain, passed through this Qihe Mountain, and was instructed to break through the ancient strange array outside, and found that the scenery here is beautiful, the law of heaven and earth, and the strong Qingzheng, so he refused to leave in his heart, and for thousands of years, the little brother was the only one who broke the big array and entered this place." ”

Zhou Heng on the side was puzzled and asked, "But the disciple broke in in a daze, but he didn't know where the big array outside was difficult?"

I saw the old man on the side and said: "Hehe, you know, this formation is not difficult to start, the first step can be solved in a moment, but the difficulty of each step doubles, and the time required is also doubled, for example, it takes three days to solve the tenth step, six days to eleven steps, and more than 10,000 years to the hundredth step, so no one has ever broken in for thousands of years, you are the first!

Zhou Heng said: "Unexpectedly, the disciple traveled all the way, and did not see a single corpse and bones, it seems that this formation is only to block, and there is no killing power." ”

The old man on the side nodded with satisfaction: "Hehe, God is merciful, he can't bear to cruel living beings, how can he have a murderous intention at such a beautiful moment?"

Zhou Heng suddenly asked: "Uncle Shi, you are always the only immortal left in the world in this sect, and now the disciple has a question, and he can't figure it out, I don't know where the countless people who have cultivated and become immortals have gone over the years?" ”

The old man looked up at the sky and said proudly: "Ten continents and three islands outside the sky, heaven and earth Huayu, where the gods live, and the five emperors are responsible, not where the world goes." ”

Zhou Heng, who saw him on the side, then asked, "What are the ten continents and three islands?"

The old man on the side opened his mouth, stopped talking, and looked at Zhou Heng on the side and said, "Ahem, this is an immortal machine, but seeing that you will soon reach the immortal realm, I will briefly describe one or two." The ten continents are: Zuzhou, in the East China Sea, 500 miles away, 70,000 miles from the west coast, there is immortal grass, Changzhou, in the land of Tatsumi in the South China Sea, many immortal herbs, sweet liquid jade, Yingzhou, in the East China Sea, 700,000 miles from the west coast, Yuanzhou, in the North Sea, there are five Zhi, Xuanjian, water is like honey syrup, Xuanzhou, in the middle of the North Sea, the land of Xuhai, many hills, Rao Sheng Jinzhi Yucao, Yanzhou, in the South China Sea, two thousand miles away, 90,000 miles from the north shore, Liuzhou, in the West Sea, three thousand miles, Shengzhou, between the East China Sea, the weather is not cold and hot, the sesame grass is perennial, Fenglinzhou, in the West Sea, the place is 1,500 li, there are many phoenixes on the continent, tens of thousands of each is a group, the cave continent, in the West Sea is not declared, the place is 3,000 li, among which there are many real fairy officials, the palace is more than the door, innumerable. ”

Seeing the old man on the side say this, he paused, and then said: "And the three islands are Kunlun, Abbot, Pengqiu, plus Canghai and Fusang,...... It is actually five islands, Kunlun, in the West China Sea and the North Sea,......... It was ruled by the Queen Mother of Nassi. 'The sky does not ask how many miles it is high, but to look up at it, it is only ten zhang to the sky, and there are pearl and jade trees, and there are magnificent trees........ Every time the wind rises, the tree of pearls and jade, the branches and flowers and leaves, clasp each other, forming five tones by themselves, clear and mourning..... On Kunlun Mountain, there are four hundred and forty gates on one side....... The door is forty miles wide, and there are five cities and twelve floors in it, and the fast immortal mansion of Zhenji is also ........"

Zhou Heng on the side was fascinated by what he heard, and he had already kept the words in his heart, after all, these things are very important, and he will become an immortal in the future, Zhou Heng on the other side doesn't want to be a stunned young man, and he will cause trouble everywhere if he is not careful, and he does not understand the local and various rules and methods.

And the old man is not finished, and then said: "You know, Taoism 36 heavens, more than 25 can be called immortals, more than 29 can be called gods, immortals, gods live in the ten states and three islands, the reason is that there are a lot of Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, unicorn monsters, eating it can increase power very quickly, and the climate is suitable, the scenery is boundless, it is easy to collect the mind, not invaded by evil demons, so all the immortals have gone." If you reach the Sanqing Heaven above the thirty-third level, you can enter the Heavenly Realm, and you can live everywhere in the morning of thousands of stars!"

Hearing this, Zhou Heng on the side interjected: "Then Uncle Ancestor, why don't you go to the three islands of the Ten Continents?"

I saw the old man on the side and said with a smile: "Qi He is so beautiful, and there is a large array to protect each other, it is no less than the three islands of the ten continents, the old man's thousand-year cultivation has reached the realm of thirty-one gods and men, even if it is in the three islands of the ten continents, it will not be much better!"

The old man paused slightly, and said with a little regret: "Hehe, but I should also go, everything here is left to you." ”

One day, Zhou Heng on the side couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and said: "Uncle Shi, it's not good to be a disciple and grandson, so you shouldn't disturb your Qing cultivation." ”

The old man on the side smiled: "Haha, otherwise, I have to go to Kunlun Divine Mountain, find an elixir, and refine it into a spiritual elixir, so that I can hope to cultivate to the Sanqing Realm." ”

Then, the old man glanced back at the hut, and said: "There are some things in the house that I have used, and they have been left to you, so I will say goodbye for a while. ”

After the old man on one side finished speaking, he turned into a breeze and left, and his own singing voice came for a long time: "Qi He has gone with the wind and rain, and the dragon is flowing in the eternal sky." ”

Zhou Heng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly used his divine skills and said, "Then Uncle Ancestor, how to solve the Nine Yin Lock Soul?"

And almost after a cup of tea, a quiet sentence came from the air: "The law seal is free to pass through the moon, and Qi He is so worried." ”

Zhou Heng on the side stood by the lake, thinking about the last two sentences left by the old man, he was not sure whether it was related to the solution of the Nine Yin Soul Lock, he was worried that his skills were insufficient, and what he said just now could not spread so far, and the old man might not be able to hear it.

Now he regrets that he asked a little late.

Zhao Min on the side didn't think so much, looked at the emerald lake, and said happily: "Gongzi Zhou, I like it here, although it is the top of the mountain, it is not cold at all, and even the wind blowing over is very gentle." ”

Zhou Heng said with great emotion: "Haha, yes, due to the protection of the two layers of large arrays inside and outside, it is difficult for fairies and ghosts to enter here, the four seasons are like spring, the wind, frost, rain and snow are blocked outside, it is really a veritable fairyland, you don't have to worry about demons and ghosts, you can play the piano freely, take a walk as you like, and you can go down to the lake to play in the water." ”

I saw Zhao Min on the side standing by the lake with his skirt lightly, his feet falling into the water, and suddenly exclaimed: "Zhou Gongzi, this water is still warm!"

Zhou Heng also took off his shoes and socks, and soaked his feet in the lake water, sure enough, the water temperature was suitable, neither cold nor hot, the huge Crane Lake was like a hot spring, probably this was once a volcanic crater, although the volcano stopped, the water temperature was still very high.

Looking around, the pine and cypress around the lake are new green, the strange flowers and plants are vibrant, there are even a few coconut trees by the hut, and there are huge coconuts hanging on the top, Zhou Heng on the side can not help but be a little happy when he sees such a beautiful scenery, and looks at Zhao Min's white jade-like toes and says: "Hehe, if you want, you can try to unite the spirit and body now." ”

Zhao Min shook his head and said softly: "The Nine Yin Lock Soul has not been lifted yet, if the spirit body is united, even if the body can bear it, it will expose your whereabouts and mine, although the demon Dao can't come in, but if you stay outside every day, it will be unbearable, Zhou Gongzi's blood feud is not over, if you hide here for a long time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to calm down, and it will be difficult to make progress in Dao Gong, besides, if they kill the local people, can Gongzi hold back?"

Zhou Heng on the side heard what he said reasonably, so he could only sigh and say: "It's rare Min'er, you can understand me, it seems that you still have to wait for a while, we have no way to escape, we can only stand up and fight the demons to the end!"

Zhou Heng on the side paused for a moment, and then said: "The scenery here is very beautiful, and it is very close to the county seat, we might as well treat this place as our home, and we can come back to live at night." ”

I saw Zhao Min on the side clapping his hands and said, "Hehe, okay, we finally have a home!"

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Min on the side couldn't help but be a little shy, and then secretly glanced at Zhou Heng on the side with his beautiful big eyes.

Zhou Heng looked at the hut behind him and said with a smile: "Haha, come, let's take a look at the family first, what Uncle Shi left us behind." ”

The two-person room on one side looked inside and outside the house, and there was a small wooden house in front of him, although it was not big, but it was divided into several parts of the tea room, the Dan room and the bedroom, and there were some tables and chairs, but unfortunately there were only a few futons in the bedroom, and there was no bed.

Zhao Min on the side said "oops": "How can there be no kitchen and stove?"

Zhou Heng knew that the old man had already cultivated to the point where he didn't need to eat and sleep, so there were no such settings in the hut, if he was in terms of skill, he could also get rid of eating and sleeping, just because the cultivation time was not long, and there was a strong sense of psychological dependence, and not eating also reduced a lot of fun, so he decided to change the Dan room into a stove room, all that was missing was the pots and bowls stove, when cleaning up the Dan room, he found a wooden carved box, and the lid of the box was engraved with a few words: "Lingbao Heavenly Master Law Seal" When you open it, you can see that there are some copper discs connected to the handles, and there are eighteen large and small. First look at the largest seal, only to see that there is a portrait of a tiger head on it, and some cloud seals, and then look at the small seals, but also some runes and cloud seals, he will look at the seals one by one, but none of them are immediately understood, it seems that a moment or three can not be completely figured out.

He had to spend some energy researching, but even so, he was still very happy, because he vaguely guessed the meaning of the old man's last two words, and these magic seals probably had a lot to do with lifting the Nine Yin Locked Soul on Zhao Min's body.

And then, Zhou Heng on the side made a stove with the soil by the lake, and then worked with both palms, and dried the wet soil with the real fire of Samadhi, just after a while, the stove was completed, and he turned back and asked Zhao Min on the side: "Do we want to make another bed?"

I saw Zhao Min on the side pursing his lips and didn't speak, and said for a long time: "Hmph, if you want to get it, you need two, one in the bedroom and the other in the tea room." ”

Zhou Heng on the side said with a smile: "Hehe, okay, two is two! ”
