Chapter 3 Big Brother

Everyone had already given up resistance, looking up and waiting for the moment when the demonic power came. The disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy is too great, if the demonic power is suppressed, with their cultivation, they will only be scattered, and there is no possibility of an afterlife.

The demonic power is approaching inch by inch, and Ye Luwu's heart is also sinking inch by inch. The world in front of her was gradually flooded with purple, and her mind went blank, and a cold came from the soles of her feet, which seemed to freeze her whole body. At the moment when the demonic power was almost on top of her head, a silver-white line appeared on the overwhelming purple, subtle but dazzling, and came with hope. In just a few breaths, the line had already cut the demonic power in two from the middle to the top. The two pieces of demonic power rolled and approached rapidly, and they were about to merge into one from the fracture.

But in the next moment, thousands of threads burst open from the center, cutting the huge demonic power into wisps. The silver light flashed in the sky, and the color of the demonic power gradually faded, and it could no longer set off the wind and waves. As soon as the breeze blew, it dispersed.

The eyes of the crowd turned from fear to ecstasy, and some even folded their hands and chanted, "If you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed." A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Luwu's mouth, and he was about to turn his head to check on everyone's situation, but he caught a glimpse of a white figure speeding past them and flying backwards.

She immediately looked back, only to see the figure holding a man's throat tightly with his right hand, and holding a sword as thin as a cicada's wing in his left hand, the blade of which sank deep into the man's body.

No, that's not people at all. The humanoid's skin was hard, rough like tree bark, its dry hair was covered with branches and leaves, fluttering in the wind, and the right half of its body was missing an arm and a leg, and the broken ones were charred black. Ye Luwu only knew at a glance that this was the transformation of the demon tree, and the missing little half of the body was due to himself.

"This demon tree refining human form is so bad, how can it have such a powerful demon power?" Tan Bo exclaimed.

When Ye Luwu heard this, he suddenly thought of the flame that had been burning at the foot of the mountain for a long time. She thought, there is probably a merman clan behind the help of this demon tree, but the merman clan has disappeared in the past hundred years, and not many people in the world have seen them, what is the purpose of this action?

The white figure flipped its wrist and used the tip of its sword to pick out a dark blue bead from the demon tree's body. "Sharks are born with shark beads condensed in their tails, they absorb the essence of the moon to cultivate, and all the demonic power they get belongs to shark beads. If others get it, they can use the demonic power in it for their own use. As he spoke, the man walked slowly, his voice clear and cold: "If the merman dies, the merman will dissipate quickly." If you want to get shark beads, you have to take them out voluntarily, so they are very precious. ”

Seeing the face of the visitor, Ye Luwu was the first to exclaim: "Senior brother!"

Wen Yu has been in Lanmen for three years, and he has listened to the praise of his disciples for three years, which makes him full of curiosity about this legendary person. Hearing Ye Luwu call this person's senior brother, he forcibly raised his head and looked at it carefully.

The man in front of him was dressed in white, holding a sword in his left hand, his right hand hanging down at will, his long hair was tied behind his head with a ribbon, and the broken hair on his forehead swept across his cheeks, making him look a little fairer than the woman. The stump branches, the dead leaves, and the land that had just experienced the battle, all added a bit of nobility because of his white clothesβ€”the original barren and dilapidated can also have a bearing. His eyes were indifferent, and his eyes seemed to condense endless years, and they seemed to be empty, without half of his emotions. A trace of surprise flashed in Wen Yu's eyes, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, thousands of words disappeared in the Adam's apple, and he didn't say it after all. Looking at the face of the man in front of him, people inexplicably thought of a cold word - mountains and rivers are forever silent.

"This shark bead," Chongguang rubbed his hand and said softly, "This monster is not skilled in using it, it will only force out all the demonic power in it, and now it is useless." But there is a very familiar aura on it, it is ......" He spoke very softly, and before the words could be spoken, they dissipated into the wind.

"Senior brother, what did you just say?" Ye Luwu was closest to him, and she spoke cautiously, her eyes full of reverence.

Chongguang pinched the shark bead hard, took it into his arms, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go back." Then he walked straight to Wen Yu, and the tip of his left finger touched the exposed Lanmen totem on his wrist, and the moon-like spiritual power poured out from his fingertips, and the totem sank into Wen Yu's body. He felt a slight cool power circulating in the meridians around his body, and most of the stinging pain caused by the demon force he had just been hit by the demon force was relieved. He thought that he should have no problem walking, so he staggered and straightened up.

Tan Bo and another disciple immediately stepped forward to hug him, and complained in their mouths: "Wen Yu, don't be reckless, let's just help you go back honestly." Wen Yu didn't have the strength, so he only quipped: "Then I can ask Tan Bodao to help me all the way back to Lanshan, and I will be grateful in the future." Tan Bo didn't say anything more from him, and half-helped and half-pulled Wen Yu to walk forward.

"Do you want to make up a few more knives for that dryad just now? We blew it up and didn't die even a little bit. Wen Yu whispered to Tan Bo, "Senior brother just goes down with a sword, will it come out again after a while to cause trouble in the world." ”

Tan Bo turned his head to look at him, his face full of surprise: "Didn't you see the frost condensed on the monster's wound? Senior Brother's sword is not an ordinary magic weapon, it is an entity transformed by his spiritual power, and supplemented by the cold night heart method passed down by the head of the family, if an ordinary monster is hit by a sword, the three souls and seven spirits will be frozen and cracked." ”

"Why haven't I ever heard of it? Wen Yu wondered, "Also, why is Senior Brother's strength different from ours? I always feel that his soul power carries a sense of intimacy, the feeling that I have experienced the aura of heaven and earth for the first time." ”

"Well, I'll tell you-" Tan Bo looked around at no one, then leaned close to Wen Yu's ear and said softly: "After the Hanxiao Mental Method was lost, there was not even a master, and now there is a senior brotherhood in the world." As for his strength......" Wen Yu saw that he hesitated and refused to speak, so he urged: "What's the matter, you said it." Don't you think of me as a brother?"

Tan Bo immediately became anxious when he heard this, and his face flushed slightly with anger: "Don't you know if I don't treat you as a brother? It's justβ€”" He groaned slightly, and said in a low voice, "This matter is actually our private speculation, and Senior Brother doesn't seem to be a human race. ”

"The head of the Lanmen does not accept apprentices, only the first head of the sect makes an exception to accept the senior brother as an apprentice. At that time, the elders strongly objected, but the first head of the family still insisted on accepting the senior brother. Many years later, the elders noticed that something was wrong with him, and they unanimously agreed that Elder Shangguan would probe his body. Elder Shangguan's wind soul power was the strongest in the Lanmen Sect, but his soul power couldn't enter the senior brother's body at all. ”

"Then Senior Brother didn't say anything himself?" Wen Yu wondered. "The reason for being probed is to see if you are a Terran, so that the senior brother will agree?"

"I heard that it was agreed, and the senior brother himself lost all his memories before coming to Lanmen. After all attempts to probe to no avail, the matter was abandoned. After all, everything has a spirit, and Lanmen is not without the cultivation of other creatures. Moreover, there was a silent shadow falling array that shrouded Arashiyama, and no creature with an unclean soul was allowed to enter. Tan Bo smiled slyly: "Moreover, the elders all said that Senior Brother used to be the gentleest. He will never shirk what others do, and he will rush to do any work. ”

Wen Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Tan Haike said that every time he saw Senior Brother, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, you shouldn't have coaxed me." ”

Tan Bo coughed dryly twice, and pretended to be serious: "What are you lying about, I still listen to the seniors who said these words, and the senior brother should have become what he is now ten years ago." Also, you can just listen to these words, if the senior brother hears them, with his current temperament-"

"Stop, stop, I'm not stupid, do you still need to tell me?" Wen Yu said depressedly.

Due to the lack of soul power of the people and the damage to the meridians, those who stopped and walked along the way did not return to the stronghold at the foot of the mountain until evening.

"Rest for the night and go back to Lanshan early tomorrow morning. Chongguang saw the people left behind, dropped a word and went straight to the bedroom.

Tan Hai hesitated and said, "They have injuries and need to rest, why don't we go first, and we will leave in three days?"

The sunset hit Chongguang's face, adding a bit of warmth to his face and a bit of the taste of entering the WTO, "Set off early tomorrow morning, don't go down the mountain easily recently." ”

Tan Hai's heart tightened, and he wanted to catch up and ask, but saw that the corners of Chongguang's clothes had disappeared behind the door. He froze in place, and when Ye Luwu stepped forward, he only heard him muttering, "That's my room......"

"Poof. Ye Luwu chuckled, "Who told you to occupy the largest room? Senior brother has always been the best to live in." ”

Tan Hai shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Alas, I don't know who spoiled him, he is also out of the house for a long time, and the senior brother with average seniority is not black and rough, this is what it looks like to sleep in the open air." Look at him again, even the female disciples are ashamed of his fine porcelain-like skin, how can he not look like he is suffering outside. ”

"Okay, okay, it's okay if others think so, why do you think so too," Ye Luwu patted him on the shoulder, "The first head is a very strict person, how can he spoil the senior brother, he must suffer more than others." Besides, you know his temper, don't you still tremble your legs when you see him now? Go get some rest, you'll have to go tomorrow. ”

Tan Hai sighed and said, "Alas, I'm going to live with Tan Bo again tonight."

After tossing for a long time, after everyone rested, it was already a bright moon hanging over the night sky. The cold moonlight sprinkled on the window lattice, reflecting the figure of a man sitting against the lamp. Chongguang held the shark bead in his hand, and the flickering candlelight shone on it, shining with a colorful and misty light. He looked at it fixedly, his eyes were dim, his spiritual power was hesitantly floating nearby, if it was covered by the shark beads, he could know who such a familiar breath came from, but he didn't act after all.

After a long time, he withdrew his spiritual power, turned around and walked to the bed and slept in his clothes, and the moonlight was clear outside the window.

It is only a dozen days to go to Arashiyama here, and I am just in time to participate in the Listening Maple Conference at the usual speed.

To say that this is the Feng Conference, but it is the first grand meeting of the people in the rivers and lakes.

It is rumored that the fairy Yinhua lifted the shackles of cultivation on living beings and descended on the top of Lanshan Mountain, so that everything in the world can cultivate.

This is a competition held every year in Lanmen to select rookies, but anyone with a heart of cultivation can participate. Since the fall of Liuxia Zhenren in Jingzhou fifty years ago, her magic weapon has become an ownerless thing, and the color head of this listening to the maple conference is this thing - Su Nuqin.

To say that this plain female piano is a piano, it is reluctant. Because it has no body, only seven strings fluttering in the air. The big demon Zhang Zhen recorded on the "Zhiwei Spectrum" died under the Su Nuqin, which can be regarded as a strong soldier.

Along the way, they used the Gathering Qi Array to stabilize the soul power in their bodies while hurrying, and there was Chongguang to help them, and after more than ten days of hard work, everyone had basically recovered, and it was no longer a hindrance to participate in the Tingfeng Conference.

On the morning of the twelfth day, they finally arrived at the foot of Arashiyama.

Ascending a trail, the higher you go, the cooler the temperature becomes. The trees below the mountain are already a little decayed, but there are still spring flowers blooming on the mountain, and some trees have just begun to sprout buds halfway up the mountain. Wen Yu had seen this kind of scenery more than once, and his eyes were still full of amazement when he said goodbye.

As we approached the top of the mountain, a perennial mist entwined up, qualitative but invisible. The milky white mist swam around him, and Wen Yu reached out to touch it, only to feel a slight coolness in his palm. Surrounded by mist, the surrounding scenery is shrouded in a fog, looking down the mountain, the clouds and mist are shrouded, adding a lot of momentum, and there is an illusion of an immortal dwelling.

Ye Luwu suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Yu: "Do you know where Lanmen's name comes from?"

Wen Yu shook his head, he had never thought of this, and no one had told him. Ye Luwu then said: "The reason why Lanmen takes the word 'Lan' as its name is because of the scenery in the mountains. The fog fills the mountains all year round, and although the fog cannot be felt, it surrounds you all the time. Master Zu hopes that the people in Lanmen will be like the mist in the mountains, not fighting for fame and fortune, abiding by the way of chivalry, and being able to save the world from danger at any time. ”

Wen Yu nodded, and admired the ancestor of Lanmen even more in his heart, only a person with such ideological ambitions can be called a model.

"Further up is where you live, and those who have nothing to do will go back first. Chongguang looked at everyone, then turned to Ye Luwu and said, "On the first day of the new year today, you go to Fengtianju to report this matter." After saying that, he left.

Wen Yu's face was full of doubts: "Why is he ......?"

Ye Luwu smiled helplessly: "Senior brother has always been like this, as soon as he returned to Lanmen, he went to practice." On the first day of the new year today, the head and the elders are all discussing in Fengtianju, so let's go and report first. The crowd nodded and followed.

"Fengtianju is not a place where the previous heads lived," Ye Luwu led Wen Yu to walk on the bluestone slab, "The previous head of the house walked too fast, and the current head couldn't find anyone to replace him as the new second elder for a while, so he still lived in Fengtian." Now it is not easy for him to be in charge of both the Lifeng Hall and the Lanmen. Wen Yu was a little puzzled by this: "Then why don't you let Senior Brother take over the Lifeng Hall?" He should be the most suitable person, and there will be no grievances when he becomes the new elder." As if he had thought of something, he lowered his voice and said, "You can tell me this, there won't be any trouble." ”

Ye Luwu shook his head, "No, it's just that you have been in the Lanmen for three years, and you can already participate in the Tingfeng Conference, with your qualifications, you should be able to become a disciple of the personal lineage, and there is no harm in knowing these things." It's not that the matter of the elder has not been mentioned, but the senior brother lives in a simple place and is not interested in these things, so he refuses on the spot. ”

Wen Yu thought about it for a while, and immediately understood in his heart. People like Chongguang don't know what can get into his eyes.

After walking for about half an hour, Fengtianju arrived.

Ye Luwu stepped forward and said to the disciple guarding the door: "Please go and report to Senior Brother, Huanqing is back." ”

Each elder has a quota of three personal disciples, and in order to highlight their status, only personal disciples have a name. This generation of personal disciples is called "Huan", and the suffix is enough. Ye Luwu's Taoist name Huanqing was taken by herself, not seeking to be noble, but only innocent in the world.

Soon the disciple returned, nodding for them to enter.

The atmosphere in Fengtian was very serious, the head of the house, Yu Qiu, sat on the main seat, his face was grim, and the four elders sat on both sides, as if they were discussing something important.

Ye Luwu stepped forward and saluted: "Huanqing was ordered to thoroughly investigate the evil in Xuzhou a month ago, and now I am here to report to the head and the elders. So they came one by one.

After returning to the matter, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and in order to get a good ranking at the Tingfeng Conference the day after tomorrow, everyone dispersed after saying goodbye to Ye Luwu. Only Wen Yu and her walked side by side on the bluestone road, starry, night breeze, slightly cool.

"Xiao Wu, if I don't get the status of a personal disciple, I ......" Wen Yu pressed the rolling tide in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Don't talk nonsense," Ye Luwu interrupted him, with the usual seriousness in his eyes, "I even have your Dao name thought of it, so I'll call it Huanrong." Since your parents want you to be more than you can do, I wish you to be tolerant. ”

With that, the two walked to the door of the Burning Hall. Ye Luwu didn't wait for him to reply, and hurriedly walked inside, "I'll just say yes to you, see you tomorrow." He watched Ye Luwu's back fade away in the night, as if he had made up his mind, he clenched his fists and walked to the small courtyard.

The head of the house was inside, Chongguang sat cross-legged on the roof after dinner to breathe spiritual power, Yu Qiu turned over on the roof, and said slowly: "Why do you bother, you have to know your body ......" Chongguang opened his eyes, and his indifferent gaze hit Yu Qiu: "If the head is fine, please go back." Seeing his attitude, Yu Qiu didn't react for a while, "I came to you for the cold night method, how can the Lanmen secret book not be understood." ”

"The cold night heart method is no longer in Lanmen, how can the head of the sect not know?"

"I naturally know," Yu Qiu's expression was a little sneering, "You know this mental method, and now only you have learned it, I hope you can rewrite it for the benefit of my Lanmen people." ”

Chongguang got up, picked up the Shattered Star Sword and said: "If the master is better than me, then he is qualified to learn the Cold Night Heart Method, if he can't defeat me, he can't learn it if he doesn't have enough soul power." His eyes were full of stars, his expression was indifferent, and the night wind filled his white robe, and his robe flew up.

Yu Qiu knew that he was invincible, so he dropped the sentence "You remember to take care of your body" and flew away. Chongguang glanced up at him, then rolled over and got off the roof, and went into the room to sleep in his clothes.
