When the fog hit, the old man, Yuwen Tuo and Dugu Gongzi came together. The old man and the two have no grudges, and they have no stakes, so naturally they will not plan to kill each other, everyone has only one purpose, that is, to get out of this fog barrier as soon as possible.

There was nothing to say all the way, just because both sides didn't know each other, and the atmosphere was naturally very awkward.

In this case, the old man thought of Lu Qingyu. He and Lu Qingyu have been fighting secretly for more than seven years, and they know each other's habits and styles quite well, although every time they meet, they have a bit of a red eye when they meet, but in the scene, the two are more like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and every time they greet each other, they are endless. In fact, the feeling of having such a confidant rival is very subtle, everyone wants to put each other to death, but if there is really no such person, the other party will definitely fall into infinite loneliness.

The three of them walked with their heads buried, and none of them noticed that the fog had lifted.

"How can there be maple leaves in spring?" Yuwen Tuo picked up a leaf that fell to his feet, and he was very puzzled, and the three of them found that they were no longer in the original world. They were in a strange wood, where the trunks of locust trees were sticking out of the leaves of maple trees. Yuwen Tuo looked into the distance and found that there was a village at the end of the forest, but there was smoke billowing up and fires were blazing.

The three of them were about to go to find out, but they heard a low sob, and Yuwen Tuo searched for the sound and found a little boy in a tree hole. The little boy was dirty, there were blood stains on his body, and his purple eyes were particularly demonic, which was not what such a child should have.

"Child, why are you sitting here alone, your family?" The old man stepped forward and grabbed the child's thin shoulder and asked him, and the little boy raised his head and looked at him and said in a hoarse voice: "Father and mother are in the village, and there is a demon in the village who kills people when he sees them, and I ran out." The little boy said three separate sentences, but he made things clear. The old man was surprised to find that the little boy did not have a pupil, but when you looked at him, you could feel that he was also looking at you.

"Child, don't be afraid, grandpa entered the village and killed that demon, and you can go home!" The old man touched the child's head and strode towards the village.

"Old man, please stay, all this is a trap and obstacles, and you haven't thought about it carefully, why are you in a hurry to get into danger?" Yuwen Tuo called the old man.

"The old man knows that everything is an illusion, but if he doesn't go in, how can he get out?" The old man walked away without looking back, and it became a small black dot after a while.

Yuwen Tuo thought about it carefully, what the old man said was not unreasonable-instead of waiting, it was better to ask for it. It seems that he is really qualified to be Lu Qingyu's sworn enemy, and both of them have a desperate adventurous spirit. Thinking like this, he found that the little boy kept staring at him, or looking at his eyes, and he naturally did not hesitate to meet him. This child is so bold, almost no one has dared to look at him so boldly in twenty-eight years, and this child, who is obviously still a child who has just been frightened, dares to look at him like this, which is really suspicious. Yuwen Tuo also found that the little boy's eyes had no pupils, like a pair of purple glass beads embedded in the eye sockets, clearly showing that he was blind. But why is he looking at you when he looks at him? Could it be......

Yuwen Tuo seemed to have an understanding, but the situation didn't have time for him to think about it, so Dugu Gongzi pulled his arm and said, "Look! ”

I saw two old men standing in front of them, both of them holding a golden wire ring knife in their hands, and even the posture was the same. One of the old men pointed at the other old man and panted and said, "This guy killed all the people in the village, hum!" I didn't know that I, Zhao Mingxiu, could kill people so much,...... No, this guy isn't me at all. The other old man didn't make much excuses, his purpose was not to pretend to be an old man, but to kill the real old man as soon as possible.

Dugu Gongzi exclaimed: "It's simply a copy of the old man, even the old man himself thinks this guy is him." ”

Yuwen Tuo said: "This is troublesome, if this fake old man insists on killing the real old man." ”

Dugu Gongzi said: "Of course the fake one wants to kill the real one so that he can become real, but don't worry, he can't kill it, how can he beat himself?" ”

Yuwen Tuo said: "But there will be a stalemate until both sides are exhausted." ”

I only heard the real old man say to the fake old man: "You crazy man, the old man doesn't want to entangle with you, but you must chase me here, do you have to kill you to be willing?" The fake old man didn't pay attention to it at all, and rushed over with a big knife, but the real old man had no choice but to wave the knife and meet it again. These two people are using the dragon slash, a total of twenty-six moves, and there is not too strong flexibility and skill, purely relying on a brute force to use it, and in the past, the old man used it to bully the juniors who had no internal strength or used light weapons, but I didn't expect to use it against themselves today. Just because it is the same move and the same strength, the old man's arm has been shaken by the power of this thousand catties, he decided to change to the self-created ghost shadow knife to deal with himself, who knew that the fake old man actually changed his moves, and used the ghost shadow knife, for the infinitely changing knife style, he was even more familiar, and the two people's minds were the same. The old man said in his heart: "It's over, it's over, if you don't be slaughtered by him now, you will die of exhaustion." ”

Yuwen Tuo naturally doesn't want this battle to continue, the longer it lasts, the more unfavorable it will be for him, and maybe another Yuwen Tuo will appear later. He looked at the boy again, only to find that he was watching the fight between the two sweaty old men with great interest, and a sinister smile appeared in his eyes from time to time. Is this a kid after all? There is no fear, no sorrow, only the pleasure of killing.

"Is that so?" Yuwen Tuo seemed to be talking to himself, but he found a flaw, that is, the little boy's eye sockets were not eyeballs at all, but two mirrors, which were the channels for the array people to observe all the movements of the entire Qingyue Mountain, and it felt that the little boy was looking at you was actually the array people looking at you through the mirror, if I didn't guess wrong, if I destroyed these two mirrors, all the obstacles on the mountain would be lifted. "I had to try." Yuwen Tuo walked up to the little boy and squatted down in front of him: "Look into my eyes." Naturally, the little boy did not hesitate to look at him.

"What do you see in my eyes?" Yuwen Tuo asked.

"Strength, an endless amount of power from ancient artifacts." The boy's eyes were full of obsession and excitement.

"That's right." Yuwen Tuo closed his eyes suddenly, and the boy screamed in pain, but when he heard two crisp cracks, the glass beads in the boy's eyes actually cracked, shattered, and scattered. The person who confronted the old man naturally disappeared in an instant, leaving only a wisp of beard on the ground.

Two streaks of blood also overflowed from the little boy's eyes, although the shattering of the mirror brought heart-wrenching pain, but this strong and stubborn child did not say a word, maybe he has been being used at this moment is really ushering in relief. Finally, the little boy knelt down to Yuwen Tuo in a childish voice: "Thank you, uncle. ”

Looking at the back of the little boy who was groping and fading away with this illusion, Yuwen Tuo's compassionate eyes appeared again: "People! It's really ruthless, even such a young, miserable child does not hesitate to take advantage of it, if he was blind from the beginning, it would be fine, but it would be unforgivable to gouge out his eyes just to take advantage of him. ”

"Isn't this my beard?" The old man had just breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the strand of beard left by the fake old man.

Yuwen Tuo said: "There is a secret technique in Tibet, which is to use that person's beard and hair to copy a person who is not different. ”

Dugu Gongzi said: "Yes! Although the beard was originally a discarded thing, it was once a part of the body. ”

"Well, it must have been the old man's beard that was picked up by those lamas, so that a dummy was made to deal with me." The old man bowed to Yuwen Tuo and said, "National teacher, thanks to you this time!" I, Zhao Mingxiu, owe you a favor. ”

"It's a trivial matter, the old man doesn't have to worry about it, I just don't want to see someone suffer too much that he shouldn't have suffered." Yuwen Tuo waved his hand, and he didn't care about the excuse - compared to the old man, he admired Lu Qingyu's personality more.

Hearing what the other party said, the old man couldn't help but think: "Who is this Yuwen Tuo, in the battle of Cattle Mountain ten years ago, he was obviously a big devil who killed people without blinking, but why did he have such compassion, is it a god in the sky, or a demon in hell?" ”

The four butterflies fought for six or seven hours, and did not stop until the fog had completely cleared and they could see each other clearly. Everyone knew it: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstand! ”

At this time, Yu Dongqiu caught up with Xiaoxue, who was still a little soulless, and the six of them gathered together to reach the top of the moon.

After less than two hours of continuous walking, we have reached the forbidden area of the top of the moon, the Mirror Lake.

The blue sky here is as clear and moving as if it has been washed by the fairy's Tianqihuan, and the depths of the silver tree are like a new cover of snow, surrounded by white jade, and there is a light smoke, shrouded in brilliance, like a dream. At the extreme of the eye, there is a pool of flickering clear water, sparkling waves, condensed and colorful, as if there is a clear exquisite treasure mirror immersed in it.

The mirror lake can be seen at a glance, and there are shrines in all directions, which are carved with the four sacred beasts of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, representing the four directions of east, west, north and south. Next to the shrine sat the yellow-clothed Venerable with a solemn expression and closed eyes, all wearing red Hundred Flowers Divine Silk. Venerable Qinglong holds a rosary in his hand, Venerable White Tiger holds a Zen whisk, Venerable Suzaku holds a bowl in his hand, and Venerable Xuanwu knots Dafa in his hand.

Yuwen Tuo, the old man, and Dugu Gongzi are already waiting there. It turned out that the years in the mountains were easy to pass, and it felt like I was only in the illusion for a while, but a whole day passed. Now all we are waiting for is the rising sun of the dawn.

"You four old guys, you dare to set up a maze and almost play to death, do we know? …… Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, give Ben Gongzi a reasonable explanation! Yu Dongqiu put down Xiaoxue and pointed at the four Venerables and scolded.

"Why should Yu Gongzi be angry? The most important thing for me is the word fairness, the maze is a test that everyone who comes to teach me, and it must not be removed because they are all wise and skilled people who are good at martial arts, so it is too unfair to the people who die in the maze, and it will be passed on to the rivers and lakes, how will I stand on the top of the moon? Besides, what about you? Didn't they all come here safe and sound? Venerable Qinglong explained unhurriedly.

"So even if you want to test us in the maze, you can't harm a child?" Yuwen Tuo is still worried about the little boy.

"Could it be that Master Yuwen is merciful to my four senior brothers?" Venerable Suzaku seemed to be a little excited, causing his voice to tremble. They opened their eyelids at the same time, and inside they were all unfocused eyes, and all four of them were blind. It turned out that their eyes were connected to the magic mirror, and the mirror was shattered.

"It's the result of your ill-intentioned and ruthless intentions." Yuwen Tuo also has no remorse at all.

"Are we ruthless? Hum! Could it be that Yuwen Guoshi is soft-hearted? I'm afraid that in the battle of Niushan ten years ago, Yuwen Guoshi, you killed more people than Lao Qu killed in his life. White Tiger Venerable said.

Yuwen Tuo kept silent, not to say it, but to be too lazy to say more.

Everyone was as silent as the earth, and I don't know how long it took, when the first rays of dawn fell on the horizon, people began to be restless, after all, everyone wanted to see this Mirror Lake Divine Light, which was even rare in a hundred years.

The four Venerables had already sealed their own knots in their hands, and they saw that the purple, white, gold, and blue four light mist shrouded the entire mirror lake, and the world was instantly full of brilliance, and it was suspected that the divine light of the fairy world was sprinkled. "Why don't you see the Venerable Lord of Luoshen Palace?" Xuanwu Venerable asked, "What is the status of my family's Venerable Lord, how can he succumb to such a remote place as Qingyue Peak, and our ability to come is enough to give your Excellency face." Yu Dongqiu replied with a full mouth, thinking that I can't say that my lord ran away with a woman on the way!

"What a young maniac!" There was some anger in Venerable Xuanwu's tone, and Yu Dongqiu didn't know whether he was referring to him or the Venerable Lord by the frivolous young man he said.

"So let's get started!" Venerable Qinglong stood up and led the fourfold light mist to gather towards the lake, and after a while, the mirror lake was like it was frozen, no longer flowing, but really worthy of its name, becoming a huge treasure mirror.

"Please choose your own location and look into the mirror lake, and we can know who is destined." White Tiger Venerable said.

Naturally, everyone stretched out their heads to look into the mirror lake.

"Old Man Zhao, you can ask what you want to know." Venerable Suzaku looked at the scene of Mirror Lake and asked the old man.

"I want to know where is Fu Xiqin, one of the five ancient artifacts that have fallen into the world?" The old man naturally asked him without any scruples.

“…… In the Ice Flame Cave at the foot of Qingyue Mountain, one mile east of the mountain, but ......" The faces of the four Venerables suddenly changed drastically, "The artifact has been taken away, and even the gluttonous divine beast has been injured. ”

"It's not because they're afraid that I'll snatch your town sect artifact, so they deliberately fabricated such facts."

Venerable Xuanwu was the most vigorous, and said: "Old man Zhao, your words are too hurtful, when the four of my senior brothers performed the spell, they were ordered by heaven, how could they lie to the destined person chosen by heaven?" ”

Old Man Zhao stopped talking, retreated silently, and scolded in his heart: "Damn, didn't Lao Tzu run away in vain this time?" ”

"Yuwen Guoshi, what do you want to know?"

"Huh? It turns out that I still have my share. Yuwen Tuo thought that he had blinded the eyes of the four venerables, but they also gave themselves the right to ask questions, the old man asked them where the artifacts of their sect were hidden, and they also answered truthfully, which shows that they really acted according to the mandate of heaven, so the theft of the artifact is true.

"I'm asking about the future." Yuwen Tuo thought about it.

"Good! What we do best is prophecy. ”

"So I want to know, in the end, who will win the world?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was boiling. This question is too sensitive, especially when the three major forces in the rivers and lakes are all present. Now that the divination of the Four Venerables has been recognized by everyone, their current answer must carry much more weight than the answer to the previous question. There are many people who care about artifacts, but there are even more people who care about the world.

There is no definite answer to this question, because whether the one who deserves the world will win the world in the end depends on whether he does what he wants. If he is desperate and only seeks the royal way, then the world is his; If he has some hesitation and stumbling in his heart, then the world may slip out of his hands. …… It all depends on how that person chooses. ”

"Did he say that?" Lu Qingyu asked.

At this moment, everyone had returned to the passenger ship. Lu Qingyu was about to go up the mountain again after getting Fu Xiqin, but he just saw the Wuluo smoke lit by the butterfly, which indicated that everything was fine and they had successfully reached the top of the mountain. After the battle between Lu Qingyu and Gluttony, he also felt physically exhausted, so he simply returned to the ship to recuperate and wait. At this time, I just listened to Yu Dongqiu's wonderful exposition of this experience, and I asked questions about the last question that won the world.

"That's what I said. …… I don't know what the old guy is talking about, if you have it, if you have it, if you can't get it, where are there so many 'ifs'? Yu Dongqiu complained for a while, he was actually still worried about the four Venerables framing him.

Lu Qingyu seemed to understand those words.

"Xiaoxue still refuses to see people?" Lu Qingyu asked suddenly.

"Yes, as soon as she got on the boat, she shut herself in her room, and arranged a strong spell outside the door, and we couldn't get close to it, and she said she didn't want to see anyone." Yu Dongqiu knew that he didn't protect Xiaoxue well, so he didn't seem confident enough to speak.

"Including me?"

"Yes. When everyone was dispersed by the thick fog, and then each walked into the illusion arranged by the four great venerables, it was really a terrible illusion, when I found Xiaoxue, she was already in a trance, and asked her what she had encountered, and she refused to say. ”

"You're tired too! Go back to your room and rest! Lu Qingyu blamed himself very much, he had been thinking about whether it was the right decision to bring Xiaoxue from such a pure world to the rivers and lakes, but what he was afraid of was that when he got the world and then returned to the domain, he would not see Xiaoxue, he never thought about what kind of mood he would have to face if he knew that Xiaoxue was not in this world or when he couldn't find a place, but he knew that it must be a complete loneliness in his heart. Just because he was afraid, he could only rest assured when he took Xiaoxue with him, no matter how dangerous his actions were or how urgent the situation was. It is precisely because of "concern is chaos" that Xiaoxue has fallen into crisis several times. He also had to say a few ifs, if he didn't bring Xiaoxue out this time, if he stopped her from saving Xiao Er, if he rushed over when Zihua was still in the casino,...... It turns out that "if" is so important.
