Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

In the past, the emperor made the wheel of destiny, engraved the fate of all things on it, and watched it live with joy and decay and die.

Heaven and earth nurture all things without love, and decay all things without hatred, and they are not biased.

In the long years 3,500 years ago, the three races of the upper realm, the humans, demons, and demons lived in a mixed manner, and although there were conflicts from time to time, they never interfered with each other.

Among the three clans, the existence of the demon clan is the longest, far before the human race appeared, the ancient demon clan already had a strict hierarchy, and there were three standing at the highest point of this clan - the throne, the jade seat, and the killing seat.

At the beginning, the demon race was close to the human race, so the demon race above the eighth order could be completely transformed into a human body, and it was no different from the human race.

When the human race consciously could cover the upper realm, it finally exposed its rejection of the alien race, and the supreme nine saints of the human race first expelled the demon race to the other world, and then created the Nine Palaces Demon Sealing Array, and did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the nine people to kill the demon race in it.

Since then, the three tribes have lived in the upper realm divided into three domains, and the three emperors of the human race succeeded to the throne and rebuilt the calendar.

Between heaven and earth, it is like a void but not yielding, moving and out.

Heaven and earth should have gone their course, and the more agitated, the stronger the wind.

After the Demon Venerable Xi Shaoyin forcibly destroyed the lower realm of the Six Realms, the Jade Throne and his subordinates chased after him to prevent the demon clan from assisting the human race, but he was still reprimanded, with the arrival of filth outside the sky, the contradiction finally intensified, and the nine factions were able to imitate the demon sealing array of the nine saints in the upper realm in the past, sacrificing hundreds of masters, and suppressing a demon clan in Luoyao Valley.

The formation operates with the power of the celestial stars, and monks at and above the knotting stage cannot enter the formation at all, whenever the power of the large array is the weakest, the people guarding the valley will post to invite the elite disciples of the foundation building period of the nine gates to come to Luoyao Valley, and clean up the demon beasts that absorb the pure demonic qi and gather to cultivate.

Therefore, there is this "Nine Gates" meeting.

Just after the two valley keepers announced the start, Xianzhiyu noticed that the originally bustling monks around him were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

There is a big array of black cries here, it is impossible to leave from above, and I haven't seen anyone jumping into the sea, how can it suddenly disappear in place?

Thinking of the "Raiders" jade slip that Fang had just bought at Huang Zitao, Xianzhiyu happily probed his divine sense to check it, but found that there was only one line of small words at the beginning-

[The Nine Palaces Luo Shu engraved on the stone platform, the blank space can be set into the formation to stipulate the number of people]

That's it?

Moving on, the content is already something else entirely.

"You've been deceived......" The voice of the stop came out of the back of the head again.

Xian Zhiyu pulled out his divine sense, and saw Sansi comparing a cross with two fingers in front of his eyes and complained: "Ten medium-grade spirit stones, Brother Hungry! I didn't expect you to have such a day when the boat capsized in the gutter......

"Since the Nine Gates Controversy is held every few years, it means that all the formations in the valley are changing, and it is difficult to learn from the previous experience. Xingzhi continued.

"Did you two make an appointment today to squeeze me out or what......" Xianzhiyu put the rubbing jade slip into the storage bag, "Who hasn't been cheated by acquaintances once or twice." ”

It's really no treacherous business.

"Tell the truth, Brother Hungry, can you quickly pull your friend to our side, I suddenly feel that you are so unreliable. Sansi said with disgust on his face.

"Go cool. Xianzhiyu pointed his finger at her forehead, "Don't turn with me elbows to others." ”

"Nine palaces, the number of the five elements of the cycle, two four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, one on the nine, five in the center. Xingzhi looked at the faint yin and yang inscriptions at his feet, and used the palm pattern of the upper middle and lower ring fingers of the index finger and the middle finger as the nine-palace plate, and used his thumb to calculate quickly at the knuckles, "The flying star entered the middle palace first, and the inscription under our feet should be the nine-palace hexagram." ”

Legend has it that the ancient Luo River out of the turtle, carrying the "Luo Shu" dedicated to Emperor Yu, Emperor Yu then divided the world into Kyushu, and then set out the "Nine Chapters *" to govern the world.

Looking through, you can see that the stone platform is made up of countless nine-palace diagrams, some of which are engraved with repeated patterns that hint at the number, while others are blank.

Xianzhiyu suddenly became happy, didn't this call them to play "Sudoku".

Every nine squares in a group, whether vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, the sum of the three numbers on the three lines is fifteen.

After the three of them got together to discuss, according to the auspicious position of the Nine Purple Right Bi Stars launched by Xingzhi, they separately calculated the number of blank grids in each nine-house chart in the area.

In order not to be forced to scatter at the beginning, they eventually found a blank box with the number three in a corner.

Taking a deep breath, the three of them stood up at the same time.

Xianzhiyu only felt a white light shrouded in front of him, and the surrounding scenery disappeared instantly......

The bodies sank as if they were being pulled, and when they opened their eyes, they had fallen into the sea.

Hurriedly covering his mouth and nose, Xianzhiyu's eyes widened in surprise, the sunlight shone into the water, and the bottom of the sea was full of blue light.

Knowing what kind of spell had been cast on his body, he found that he could breathe freely in the water.

Turning his head to look at the other two, Xingzhi did not forget to bury his head in the thick book of what was being recorded, and Sansi had already begun to play with the strings of silver blisters that came out of his mouth when he breathed.

The light in the sea was not as bright as on land, but they could still see schools of silver fish shuttling around them, their scales shimmering, like the stars in the vast universe.

One breath, one world.

Looking at the various forms of small things swimming in front of him, Xianzhiyu was playful, and after gesturing to Sansi, as if in the air, he stepped lightly on the sea with his toes, ready to speed up and catch the fish.

Helplessly, the resistance in the water is worse than in the air, even if the operation of the body is necessary, the island of leisure is still as slow as a turtle, and others look at him, he is so stupid in the same place.

Sansi couldn't help laughing, but she couldn't make a sound, only to see more silver bubbles spit out of her mouth, almost covering her entire round face.

This unknown force still pulled them to continue to sink, until the light was as dark as dusk, and Xianzhiyu finally saw a bottomless trench.

Since the trench is not flat, but two huge mountains on both sides, the picture from the top down is exactly what the valley looks like.

A valley deep in the East China Sea - Nakyo.

And when they were about to sink into the trench, from the depths of darkness there was light.

The huge, pure white lotus flowers were slowly blooming there, and with each petal, their surroundings would become brighter, and finally the flowers would bloom with nine petals, as bright as day.

In the lotus core stands a nine-story crystal pavilion.

It is from this attic that the unknown force that pulls them away.

"The lotus has nine petals, one petal and one layer, one layer and one realm. The old voice of the valley keeper came to his ears.

As the three approached, a white light shot up into the sky, ingesting them and disappearing in the blink of an eye......

Xianzhiyu didn't expect that when he opened his eyes again, he was outside a wine shop.

There was still a heavy feeling of suddenly leaving the sea on his body, and looking at such an ordinary scene, he felt a little unreal.

Obviously, the three thoughts and actions were also a little dazed, and he didn't move or speak for a long time.

The breeze blows, carrying the aroma of wine.

After the relaxation, the three of them raised their hands at the same time to push open the creaking wooden door of the wine shop—

There were a lot of people sitting in the restaurant, but it was unusually quiet. As soon as the three of them pushed the door in, they gained the vision and divine consciousness swept from all directions.

Xianzhiyu saw the three people of Huachaimen at a glance, the pale woman with long hair reaching the ground closed her eyes in front of the table, and the tall and strong man who looked particularly wooden had no expression on his face, only the young man sitting in the middle with dozens of long weapons on his back sent a kind smile to Xianzhiyu.

I really don't want to meet anyone, so I just get separated, and I'm helpless.

Except for the three of them sitting opposite each other, the rest is a casual practice of one person and one table.

Sitting not far from the door was a delicate girl in pink, holding a rabbit in her arms, just glanced at Xianzhiyu and turned her head with a crimson face.

On the other hand, the mysterious young monk on the corner table, wrapped in a black robe from head to toe, stared at Xianzhiyu for a long time, and there seemed to be surprise in his eyes.

So far, there are eight people in total.

There was also one who hadn't glanced at them from beginning to end, and when he saw that person, Xianzhiyu could hardly help but laugh out loud.

Motioning for a stop and thinking about moving freely, someone slipped up to the man's table with a brisk step, humming a little tune, and sat down face to face with shame.

What is this called, people are not as good as the sky, Xianzhiyu cocked Erlang's legs, thinking proudly.

The other party seemed to be completely as if he didn't have zài, and just silently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water.

Okay, Qin Yanxiu, you continue to pretend with me!

I can't pretend for a while, but I don't believe you can pretend for a lifetime.

Xianzhiyu sneered in his heart.

When the other party picked up the teacup for the second time, Xianzhiyu stood up, reached out and snatched the cup of tea from the other party's hand, put it to his mouth and poured it up, and then smashed the teacup on the table with a "bang!" and laughed:

"Qin Yanxiu, do you know what this is called?

The sound of tea spraying came from the quiet wine shop, and it was the next table with its ears pricked up to listen to the movement.

Huachaimen's kind young man and the pink-clothed girl are lively people, and when they heard such a good show, they also turned their heads to look at Xianzhiyu.

Qin Yanxiu slowly put down his hand that maintained the cup-holding movement, frowned and whispered, "Do you have to be like this?" ”

Ten years later, he stared at the person in front of him again at such a close distance, and his eyes swept over the cold arc from his forehead to his nose when he lowered his eyes, and Xianzhiyu suddenly felt like a world away.

Because he knew too much, when Qin Yanxiu said this, Xianzhiyu was not surprised at all.

If there was a hundred steps between them now, Qin Yanxiu would definitely take another ten steps back-

So I had to run forward a hundred and twenty steps quickly to catch him, and then never let go.

"Qin Yanxiu, if I don't take the initiative to disturb you, you will definitely never take care of me again for the rest of your life," Xian Zhiyu looked down at the person sitting in front of him, his expression unexpectedly serious, "Because I don't want to lose you...... This friend. ”

This time, there was the sound of tea spraying in the quiet wine shop, and this time there were at least four people.

"The last four words are too redundant. Sansi squeezed this sentence out from between his teeth.

"The ...... of failures," Xingzhi shook his head.

Smelling a noise in his ears, Xian Zhiyu couldn't help but look over, and at a glance saw Sansi and Xingzhi repeatedly comparing suicidal actions to him.

One person wiped his neck and poked his heart, and the other stuck out his tongue and pulled the rope and hanged himself.

Xianzhiyu glared at them fiercely, and waved his fist to express the simple and clear meaning of "I'll clean you two up later......

Because of this, he accidentally missed the moment when Qin Yanxiu looked up at him, and he didn't see that there seemed to be fluorescent light flashing in the originally boundless dark eyes.
