Chapter 23: The Patriarch

"Quack"

Hu Chedan stood in front of the Huangquan Palace, raised his eyes to look at the crows flying in the sky, and couldn't help muttering: "I saw the crows early in the morning. ”

Haifei stood next to him and yawned: "What is the matter with the sect master summoning us so early?" ”

"How did I know, it is said that he rested in the Naihe Courtyard yesterday, and he would not come so early" Hu Chedan was also puzzled.

Haifei suddenly glared in shock: "What? Is the Sect Master sleeping there?! ”

"Be quiet!" Hu Chedan looked left and right, and scolded in a low voice, "Are you stupid?" ”

Haifei rolled his eyes: "Cut, I'm much smarter than Gao Zun." ”

"You kid just take advantage of his absence to dare to fart like this, if you want me to say that you both belong to the elm head, you should go to the Demon Dao Elite Training Class to open the light."

"If your sister-in-law wants to dance on stage, I'll go."

"Fuck off, uncle."

The crow man coughed coldly beside him: "The sect master is here." ”

In the distance, a man and a woman walked out of the morning light, and the black and white figures reflected each other in the mist.

Chi Yue was dragged out by someone in a panic early in the morning, saying that the enemy situation was critical and should not be delayed. As a result, his clothes were disheveled, his appearance was poor, and even his hair was hastily tied with a silver belt.

Along the way, he was stared at by the strange eyes of various disciples and had mixed feelings.

Hu Chedan stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Zongpu cough cough"

He wasn't the only one, all the disciples coughed the moment they saw Chi Yue.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing, it may be that the weather has been cold recently, and the collective has been infected with a cold."

Chi Yue sniffed and nodded, "It's quite cold at night." ”

Hu Chedan settled down and said, "Sect Master, the three patriarchs have already arrived and have been waiting in the hall. ”

"Oh? Then come in with the Honzong. ”

Speaking of these three patriarchs, we have to mention the older generation of the Ghost Sect.

Originally, the thirteenth generation was also a generation with many disciples and a thriving population. It's just that things are changing, and things are changing. Those who are as good as bamboo are dyed by the exercises. Those whose qualifications are as poor as those of outer disciples have become more or less cannon fodder. If you sift through the health medicine and eat too much brain-dead, those who go crazy after practicing the exercises, and those who are still normal people have survived, there are only three people in total.

Li Muhua, Zhang Zixian, Wang Yi. These three rare old-timers have been practicing one word all their lives: mediocrity.

From the beginning, their strength has been in the middle all year round, and the exercises of no life and no death are still at the level of half-hangers. When performing tasks, neither the top nor the bottom, there is neither special merit nor great fault, the only thing that can be done is to mix for a long time, have deep qualifications, and endure loneliness.

In the words of the three elders themselves: mediocrity is not the royal way, but the way of immortality is also. Those who do not accept this reason will all die.

If Chi Yue is regarded as a hands-off shopkeeper, then these three are foot-shaking immortals. On weekdays, the gate does not go out of the two doors, and one house in their respective caves is decades.

It is said that the locks on Zhang Zixian's door have bred all kinds of mushrooms, and people give them the honorific name: Zhang fungus. ==

Overall, they are not as good as the nest of crows outside the Huangquan Palace. After all, in this year, even birds know that they have to drop a little surprise on people's heads from time to time.

But these three people are not exactly the same as the air. With the secret keys of the Ghost Sect Sect and the Secret Path in their hands, and with the array held by the Sect Master, they were able to open the Eighteen Mountain Protection Arrays of Biluo Valley, the Ten Thousand Ghost Array.

This ancient Ten Thousand Ghost Array was created by Ji An, the patriarch of the Ghost Sect Sect.

In the era when thousands of years ago were still swept by cultivators, this Ji Lao Ancestor could also be regarded as a wonderful flower in the Demon Dao.

He has a strange personality and absurd behavior, but no one dares to mess with him, just because he is an extremely talented formation master.

For a while, the world trembled. refers to his famous (infamous) Ten Thousand Ghost Array.

Time flies. The comers are bustling, and the past is gone. The legend of the year, today's loess.

The ascension of the monks, the fall of the fall. Thousands of years have passed in a flash, the aura of heaven and earth has long been exhausted, and the mountain gates of various factions have gradually declined. Only the Ghost Sect still retains the Great Array of Mountain Protection, and more importantly, only his family's formation can still be activated, which can be called the conscience of the formation world.

According to the file in the door, the last time this formation was opened, it was the Four Demons Rebellion more than a hundred years ago.

Back then, the four major demon sects gathered 5,000 people to encircle and suppress the ghost gate, and the sect leader of the ghost sect opened the Ten Thousand Ghost Array when he was desperate.

According to the grandchildren of the witnesses, the moment the formation was opened, it was as if the ghost gate in hell had really exploded. For a time, the sky changed drastically and the ground shook. Thousands of ghosts poured out of the cracks in the ground, killing the intruders in an instant. However, in half a day, except for the disciples who were in the eye of the array, all the living beings in Biluo Valley were dead and there were no bones

After this battle, the Ghost Sect became famous and won the first sect of the Demon Sect in one fell swoop. For more than 100 years, no one dared to try its edge.

In fact, only the people in the ghost sect themselves know that the retreat from the enemy a hundred years ago went wrong.

At that time, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation was opened, but soon after, a formation suddenly collapsed. The huge underground cave was like a demon with a bloody mouth open, devouring nearly a thousand disciples of the Ghost Sect in the blink of an eye.

So Chi Yue was a little skeptical about whether this thing could still be used, after all, it was crazy and even its own people were pitted.

"The sect master doesn't have to worry, as far as the old man knows, the accident was caused by a landslide, as long as you avoid dangerous places, you will be fine."

Zhang, Li, and Wang, the three elders of the immortal wind bones, sat on the top, and each of them had a cup of fragrant tea on the jade table. The green smoke curls, the tea mist is misty, and the swirling clouds reflect the three old men like the ancestors of the Sanqing Dao.

Chi Yue furrowed her brows, and the word "morality" on the door of her head suddenly became distorted. The children at the bottom were suffocated from internal injuries all their lives, and they all lowered their heads and stared at their feet, shaking their shoulders like cramps.

Yan Buli stood on the side, smiling like a flower. Silently be a quiet and beautiful woman.

"But the uncles should also have heard of the ancestor's teachings, and the mountain protection array should not be activated more than three times. If it exceeds three times, it means that the number of qi of the ghost sect has been exhausted, and forcibly guarding it will violate the way of heaven, and the punishment of heaven will fall. ”

"Yes, there are rumors of that." The old man in Tsing Yi pinched his gray beard and said.

"I heard that Uncle Mu Hua has a wide range of old things in the door, I wonder if Uncle Mu knows how many times this formation has been activated?"

Li Muhua lowered his eyelids and stroked his beard one by one: "Well, this" and then there was no sound.

"Uncle Shi?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Chi Yue asked, "Why didn't Uncle Shi say anything?" ”

"The old man is counting"

“”

"The sect master doesn't know that in the Immortal Cultivation Sect thousands of years ago, there were frequent conflicts between the two realms of righteousness and demons, and there were constant scuffles, and the Ghost Sect's mountain protection array was also opened extremely frequently. Today, there have been no less than sixteen times. ”

Chi Yue blinked: "So many times? Then why did the patriarch leave a testament that could not be opened more than three times? ”

The old man speculated in vain, perhaps because the aura of heaven and earth in the later generations was exhausted, and he could not support the formation to be used many times. Or," Li Muhua paused, "Judging from the temperament of that ancestor master, this death may just be a joke made by his old man and my juniors." ”

Yan Buli couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhang Zhen furrowed two long-hanging white eyebrows: "Why is Jiang Shouzun laughing?" ”

Yan Buli shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think this ancestor is quite good at fooling people." ”

"Why?"

"If this Ten Thousand Ghost Array is really so against the sky, how can the people in the righteous path dare to attack again? Isn't the lesson of a hundred years old enough? I think that the formation has long since failed, and it was just a landslide caused by the activities of the underground organs. Over time, it has become alarmist to exaggerate and exaggerate falsehoods. ”

"Humph!" The gray-robed old man sitting on the far left snorted coldly. Wang Qian had a rosacea, his face was purple like ripe grapes, and he spoke as if he was drunk, "Master Zu's formation is mysterious and incomparable, and the power is amazing, what do you know about a yellow-haired girl?" ”

Li Muhua sneered and said: "Lao Wang, don't say a few words, our Jiang Shouzun has a lot of merit, and he is honored, so naturally he won't take the ancestor in his eyes." ”

"The war is imminent, and the opening of the formation will naturally require the help of three people to preside over the formation. It's just that the arming also needs to arrange manpower, so this sect called these juniors. They are all ignorant children, and the uncles don't have to worry about her. Chi Yue coughed twice unhappily and glanced at someone with her eyes, "Mo Chou, why don't you apologize to Uncle Li soon?" ”

If Yan Dashao will apologize, it will definitely be the sun coming out of the west and returning home from the north.

The beauty in white craned her neck and looked at the top of the hall, with an expression that I couldn't hear when the wind was so strong.

"Look at her like this! The sect master doesn't blame the old man for talking too much, since ancient times, women and villains have been difficult to raise, you have spoiled her to the sky, and it will become a disaster in the long run. ”

As soon as Chi Yue heard this, she knew that something was wrong, and sure enough, someone immediately blew up.

Yan Buli glared at him: "Old man, who do you say is the scourge?!" I am standing here today in exchange for blood and sweat, you have been in the cave for decades, how much have you contributed to the sect? Just eating and not practicing also sow discord, really old and toothless! ”

"You" Li Muhua covered his toothless mouth and pointed at her with a trembling finger, "Listen to what bastard this demon girl said!" He turned to Chi Yue and arched his hand: "Sect Master, it's okay for her to insult the old man." But the door style must not be clear, and the outline must not be wrong! This woman is bold and disrespectful, contemptuous of the ancestor in front, bullying the sect master in the back, is it tolerable or unbearable! ”

Chi Yue nodded and listened, suddenly a little inexplicable, and wondered, "When did she bully the sect?" "Is it already known that I slept without a bed last night?

The three old men looked at him with great sympathy, and all of them stretched out their hands and pointed at the door of their heads.

The sect master hesitated to touch it, and his palm rubbed a hand of ink, and there was only one word "Dao" left on his forehead, this time it was really a lack of morality.

No wonder this woman didn't let him wash his face and look in the mirror in the morning, and dragged him to the Huangquan Hall to discuss matters before he finished eating

Chi Yue glanced at the subordinates who were counting ants from beginning to end, and then thought about the frightened eyes of the disciples along the way, and his heart suddenly became clear. Shen Yan said coldly: "Hu Chedan, take the mirror." ”

Yan Buli's neck was cold and swishing, and he suddenly felt that he was playing a little big this time. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he silently shrunk his neck and retreated into the corner.

Hu Chedan quickly chose a carved round mirror. Clear and bright, ten free shipping, broken and not distressed. As a result, it turned into powder in Chi Yue's hands in less than a second, and there was not even a piece of slag left.

"-Jiang, Mo, Sorrow!" The sect master roared, and Biluo Valley trembled.

The roar mixed with the majestic internal force shook the sky and resounded through the sky, almost overturning the roof of the Huangquan Palace. The dust on the beams shook down, and the crows on the eaves were also dizzy, lying on the ground at the entrance of the Huangquan Palace.

Everyone in the hall knelt down with their ears covered, and glanced around tremblingly, only to find that a certain culprit had long since disappeared
