A thousand years.

In the past thousand years, Cheng Lin has not moved a single step, his body gradually dried up, as if he had become a corpse, dust covered his body, the small courtyard gradually fell into decay, the thatched house collapsed, the fence also rotted, the water in the water tank evaporated, and then the fallen leaves that had accumulated for many years gradually accumulated in the tank.

The Great Dao Sect was so big that no one noticed the changes here, or rather, they had something more noteworthy.

……

There are more and more monsters.

It is rumored that they came from that strange continent in the East China Sea, and at first, they did not attract too much attention from the major sects, after all, at that time, they were not much more powerful than the beasts in the mountains.

I don't know when, the situation gradually changed, those monsters are much more ferocious, for the disaster in all directions, the mortal army is difficult to hunt, even if the cultivator makes a move, it is gradually no longer so easy to eradicate, and later, there is a demon general who can understand human language among the monsters, at this time, people finally feel that something is wrong.

It's a pity that the general trend is irreparable, when countless monsters in the sea rush to the shore, the Hundred Years War will begin, the Great Dao Sect as the leader of the righteous path, it is unshirkable, Yi Jiufeng is indeed a rare genius, the cultivation is amazing, leading the sect monks to fight all over the mainland, for decades, slaughtering countless demons, but there is only one Yi Jiufeng in the world, the battle line is long, and the Great Dao Sect is also difficult to hold, with the landing of the demon king, the human defense line is torn apart, and in an instant, the clouds are shrouded, the beacon smoke is everywhere, and the human dynasty is in danger.

Although Yi Jiufeng is old, his personality is extremely rigid and straight, and under the catastrophe, all sects have retreated, but the Great Dao Sect has bucked the trend, and has suffered heavy casualties as a result, and has become a big trouble for the demons.

216 A.D.

In the Kunhe War, the ten elders of the Great Dao Sect welcomed the demon clan army, and seven out of ten were gone, and Yi Jiufeng was also seriously injured, so he had to retreat to the sect, shaking the continent, and the demon clan was furious.

In August of the same year, the 100,000 allied troops of the demon clan converged into one place and marched to the mountain gate of the Great Daozong.

……

……

August is the height of summer, but this year is rarely very hot, from the beginning of summer, it is rainy and rainy, in January, there are 25 cloudy days.

The Great Dao Sect stood in the territory of Dongning Mansion, in the Canglong Mountain Range, at this moment, in the gloomy sky, a sword light flew from afar, and fled straight into the Cangshan Mountain, crashing into the clouds and mist that would not disperse all year round.

In the gate of the Great Daozong Mountain, on the main peak of the front mountain, a deacon walked out of the hall, looked up, and then slapped his right hand on his waist, and the ancient jade hanging on the belt suddenly emitted a bright light, triggering the mountain protection array, and in the clouds and mist, a golden giant net covering the peaks suddenly appeared, and the grid tore a crack and put the sword light in.

Immediately, I saw that the sword light seemed to be physically exhausted, and as soon as it flew into the sect, it dimmed and fell towards the stream at the foot of the mountain.

"Help!"

The deacon shouted, and as soon as he spoke, he saw a green skirt fluttering down at the foot of the mountain, and Edgeworth fell into the stream, and then more and more sword light flew up, and in a short time surrounded the man by the stream.

"It's Senior Brother Zhou!"

"Quick, take the Heart Nourishing Pill!"

The people exclaimed, and saw a young man of about twenty-six or seventeen who had fallen by the brook, his robe stained with blood, and half of his body fell into the stream, staining the stream red.

At this moment, there were already disciples who sent the pill, and the girl in the green dress who came first squatted by the stream, rubbed the pill with her snow-white hands, and then stuffed the pill into the young man's mouth, and after more than a dozen breaths, the pale and unconscious Senior Brother Zhou finally opened his eyes, looked at the girl in the green dress squatting beside him, and muttered:

"Senior Sister Yi...... Fast...... Quickly report to the teacher, demon ...... The army of the demon clan has entered the Dongning Mansion and is about to arrive at the ...... from time to time."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar by the stream.

……

……

The demon army is coming.

This news was like a whirlwind sweeping through the sect, blowing the stream and touching people's hearts.

Although this day had been expected for a long time, when it finally came, the entire sect was inevitably suppressed.

In the Hundred Years War, the human monks had already known the strength of the enemy, the Kunhe War, the Great Dao Sect shook the enemy army with its own strength, and it had already suffered a great injury, and it was no longer at its peak.

……

The main peak of the sect is on the long mountain road.

Yi Xiaohe walked slowly alone.

Today, the wind in the mountains is strong, blowing her green skirt fluttering, like a real lotus leaf, she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance is exquisite, like fine porcelain, but at this moment her beautiful face is full of solemnity.

Cultivators have a long life, so they often marry wives and have children when they are old, Yi Jiufeng married a wife twenty years ago, and then gave birth to Yi Xiaohe, as the only daughter of the head of the family, she seems to have inherited Yi Jiufeng's cultivation talent, and before she can reach Taoli, she is already a Jindan monk.

At this moment, Yi Xiaohe braved the mountain wind and walked to the outside of the main peak hall, and as soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she raised her eyebrows and vaguely heard the quarrel in the hall.

After a while, the door of the main hall opened, and the few remaining elders of the sect sank like water, and slowly walked out, seeing the green-skirted girl standing quietly at the door, the elders were stunned, and then sighed and left, leaving only the last big elder who came out did not go away, but came straight to Xiaohe.

"I've seen the master."

Yi Xiaohe bowed her hand, although she was the only daughter of the head of the family, she did not learn from her father.

The Great Elder is a female cultivator with a profound realm, with a graceful demeanor and a wonderful bearing, who looks more than thirty years old, but Yi Xiaohe knows that the master is nearly four hundred years old.

"No need to be polite," the Great Elder sighed softly and said, "Hear it all?" ”

Yi Xiaohe thought about it, shook his head, and nodded again.

The Great Elder sighed again, even the wrinkles on her face were dozens more, she raised her gaze, looking at the peaks, the sky was dark, there was faint moisture, and the clouds and mist appeared to be even bigger, but in the clouds, there was a thick slaughter.

"The 100,000 army of the demon clan is approaching from time to time, and when the time comes, thousands of disciples of our sect will face life and death disasters, a hundred years of war, huge losses in the sect, the battle of Kunhe, most of the masters in the sect have withered, and now they ...... I can't resist it. ”

The Great Elder seemed to be saying to Yi Xiaohe, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

"The peak masters and elders have different opinions, some advocate fighting to the death, and some want to keep the sect's fire," the Great Elder paused in his tone, "It's not wrong, it's just that there must be a countermeasure after all." ”

Yi Xiaohe listened quietly, and then raised her head, the mountain wind blew her black hair scattered, and crossed her black and white eyes: "Does my father know?" ”

The Great Elder was silent and said, "After being injured in the Battle of Kunhe, the head of the sect has been in retreat to recuperate, and this matter has not bothered him, but if you think about it, with the cultivation of the head of the sect, you must also know about it. ”

Yi Xiaohe tilted his head: "Did your father say anything?" ”

The Great Elder thought for a moment, shook his head, and nodded again: "If you don't speak, why don't you show your attitude?" ”

Yi Xiaohe was stunned, and then her eyes lit up.

"Go and rest, I'm afraid the days after that will be difficult." The Great Elder glanced at Yi Xiaohe lovingly, and then left in a hurry.

……

……

If the head of the house does not speak, no one dares to move.

Since you can't move, it means that you can't retreat or escape, so the only choice left is to stick to the death.

"The demon clan is powerful, although there are many disciples in the sect, most of them are outer gates, and most of the inner sects are still shallow in cultivation and are not usable, so they can't take the initiative to attack, they can only defend."

On the riverside, Deacon Dian Zang Peak said slowly to a group of confused disciples.

The disciples were confused when they heard this, and then they became nervous: "The army of 100,000 is said to be led by the demon king, and the strength of the demon king is not inferior to the head of the sect, can we hold it?" ”

The middle-aged deacon stroked his beard, pointed out the mountain, and said in a firm tone:

"Nature can hold on. My Great Avenue Sect Mountain Protection Array was created by the ancestor, and then strengthened by the two ancestors, after 10,000 years, the head of the family repaired from generation to generation, absorbing the spirit of the Canglong Mountain Range as the foundation, the source is endless, the two ancestors have said before the ascension, this array is opened, even if it is a robbery immortal, it is difficult to break through, and the hidden killing array, although the demon king is strong, but if he dares to attack, he will inevitably be killed by the counterattack of the big array! And if the demon king doesn't dare to attack, just relying on the little demon to consume, I'm afraid it will last at least more than ten years! ”

After a pause, the deacon continued: "There are hundreds of peaks under the jurisdiction of the mountain gate, which can be cultivated, and the water source of the lake does not depend on the outside world, we just need to rest and recuperate, and when the vitality recovers, open the door and fight back!" ”

The disciples smiled when they heard this, and their tense expressions eased for the most part.

Yi Xiaohe walked slowly past the crowd, stopped for a few seconds, and then continued to patrol, the huge mountain gate, similar scenes abound.

The tense atmosphere of the slaughter has also been diluted considerably.

Yi Xiaohe walked forward silently, his brows furrowed, knowing that this was the countermeasure that the sect came up with.

The sect's mountain protection array is indeed extremely strong, and it may not be impossible to resist the demon clan for more than ten years, but it is just ...... Yi Xiaohe always felt that this was not a long-term plan, for more than ten years, the Great Dao Sect was recuperating and recuperating, but what about the demon clan?

In the end, when the strength of the large array is exhausted, can you really fight? Again...... The sect is closed, so it can naturally survive for a while, but it also ignores the mortals in the outside world for more than ten years...... I'm afraid that the entire continent will be completely ruled by the demon clan.

She couldn't help but look at the main peak, as if she wanted to see her father through the heavy rock walls, but she only saw the clouds drifting.

It suddenly occurred to her that there was another possibility, if ...... My father was able to break through in these ten years and step into the realm of catastrophe...... Perhaps, it can really avoid the fate of the destruction of the sect.

The only problem is...... Do they really have enough time?

……

……

Under the mobilization and propaganda of the sect, the atmosphere of despair finally dissipated a lot.

A day later, the army of the demon clan arrived as scheduled, surrounding the mountain gate of the Great Dao Sect, and a few disciples who had never stepped out of the sect for half a step saw the demon for the first time.

Those monsters are pitch black, some have wings, some don't, their bodies are shrouded in black mist, only one eye, blood red and blood-red, with hands and feet, but there are more arms, and the feet are closer to beasts.

The appearance is ugly, the breath is very evil, and the screams are unpleasant and harsh.

No wonder it's called a monster!

After an attempted attack, the enemy seemed to have finally confirmed the strength of this mountain protection array, and a huge demon king like a small mountain flew around the large array, but after all, he did not attempt to attack, and seemed to faintly sense the danger inside.

This made the Great Elder and the others regret it.

Then, the two sides confronted each other, the demon king drove the little demon to constantly attack and consume the power of the large array, and the Great Dao Sect was also ready to fight a defensive battle that could last for more than ten years.

"In the future, the outer disciples will be responsible for cultivating the mountain fields and producing their own grain, and the inner disciples will take turns to take care of the operation of the big array, if there is any abnormality, report it immediately, if there is any omission, it will be severely punished!"

In the Zongmen Square, thousands of disciples gathered, and the Great Elder announced with a cold expression, At this point, the Great Dao Sect was completely closed and isolated from the outside world.

……

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the disciples of the sect have gradually become accustomed to those monsters that surround them from the initial nervousness and panic.

The days seem to have calmed down again, but everyone has become more diligent in their cultivation.

When the time comes to September, the vegetation of the mountains is slightly yellow, heralding the arrival of another autumn.

Today it is Yi Xiaohe's turn to take a turn, according to the requirements of the sect, there must be five inner disciples guarding each rotation at the same time, and at least one monk above Jindan is in charge.

Originally, according to the Great Elder's idea, it should be to send a peak master-level powerhouse to sit in charge, but considering that the time left for them is only more than ten years, all the peak masters must seize the time to cultivate and strive to break through the realm, so that they can exert greater power when the great array dissipates in the future.

Therefore, the task of taking care of them can only be entrusted to the disciples.

However, many disciples feel that this is really of little significance, the mountain protection array has been running for 10,000 years, and the chance of problems is extremely small, but in the current situation, no trace of problems can be allowed.

When the evening glow penetrated the gaps in the demon clan army and shone on the peak of the formation hub, Yi Xiaohe opened his eyes from meditation and knew that it was time for his shift.

The other four disciples beside her also opened their eyes one after another, and when they got up, they saw that the other five disciples who had taken over were walking slowly on the mountain road.

"Senior Sister Yi, thank you for your hard work."

The only Jindan monk among the five laughed.

Yi Xiaohe also smiled: "Senior Brother Zhou is polite, is Senior Brother better?" ”

Senior Brother Zhou on the opposite side was the core disciple who desperately harnessed the sword light to report back a month ago, and he had recovered his complexion after recuperating from his injuries for a month, and he smiled: "It's no big deal, I'm worried about my sister." ”

Yi Xiaohe's heart was slightly confused when he heard this, his hands clenched tightly, and he didn't dare to face Senior Brother Zhou's burning gaze, so he hurriedly looked away and said, "Then we'll go first." ”

As she spoke, she thought to herself: I didn't miss you......

Senior Brother Zhou smiled and didn't speak.

It was just that looking at Yi Xiaohe leading the rest of the disciples away, and when the girl in the green dress disappeared, Senior Brother Zhou slowly restrained his smile, turned to look at the other four disciples, and said, "Everyone must be serious." ”

The four disciples hurriedly saluted: "What Senior Brother said is true. ”

……

I don't know why, today's sunset is extraordinarily brilliant, and the monsters have been besieged for many days, blocking a lot of daylight.

Yi Xiaohe walked on the mountain road, letting the autumn wind in the mountains blow her hot cheeks, until she walked for a long time, and only she was left, Yi Xiaohe calmed down.

At this time, she suddenly found that she had come to the stream at the bottom of the mountain at some point.

It was the place where Senior Brother Zhou was rescued that day.

"How did you get here?" Yi Xiaohe muttered and was about to leave, but just after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and stared at the weeds by the stream in a daze.

Those grasses have withered and withered, and there is no vitality, which makes her a little puzzled, the time is only September, early autumn, why does this grass die so quickly?

In the next second, the expression on Yi Xiaohe's face suddenly froze, and an unbearable fear instantly captured her heart!

Her juniors were instantly soaked in cold sweat!

Yi Xiaohe suddenly turned around and looked behind him, the peak where the mountain protection array was located, only to see that under the brilliant glow, a wisp of black gas suddenly filled the hub of the large array, the building was shattered, the blood light appeared, and a terrifying force erupted, penetrating the mountain peak and destroying the "switch" of the large array.

In the next second, the huge golden net that enveloped the peaks flickered twice and quietly dissipated.

Countless monsters seem to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, screaming and swarming up, covering the sky and the sun!

Yi Xiaohe's face instantly turned pale as paper!!
