The peaks on both sides of the canyon are numerous, if the knife is sharpened, the stone walls are craggy, the grass and trees are sparse, and the valley bottom is mostly bare rocks, which is obviously caused by rainwater.

Bixia frowned and stared at the deep canyon, and said in a low voice: "The seal is in this canyon!"

Wu Ji asked, "How did Yuan Jun know that there was a seal in this canyon?"

Bixia said: " When Emperor Yu governed the Yellow River, he had looked for his father, the whereabouts of Kun, after discovering the seal here, it was speculated that Kun was sealed in it, exhausted various methods, but could not be cracked, when Emperor Yu ascended Mount Tai to pray for the people, he privately told the ancestor of this door, hoping that he could understand the mystery, unseal the seal, find the rest of the soil, and manage the floods of the Yellow River, since the commission of Emperor Yu, the heads of Mount Tai all entered this canyon for scrutiny, which has also become a secret legend of the door, only the head of the door can know, but nearly two thousand years have passed, the successive heads of the door, but no one can break the seal, the poor road has also come here several times, and it is impossible to find a clue。 ”

Wuji asked again: "If it is as Yuanjun said, knowing that there is a seal here, should Yuanjun be alone?"

"Emperor Yu is afraid that the vicious people will know, so he only tells this secret to the ancestor of this sect, except for the previous heads of the sect who have been here, no outsiders should know. ”

Wu Ji pondered: "I'm afraid this matter is not trivial, someone is trying to use the villagers to break the seal." ”

Bixia had more and more doubts in her heart, only to explore with no obstacles, the bamboo row quickly stopped, the two of them landed, walked into the canyon, walked in the valley, only to see a line of sky overhead, which made people breathe dullly, as if the stone walls on both sides would suddenly close and leave them in this stone wall.

After turning more than ten turns, I didn't find the shadow of the villagers, the air was cold and terrifying, Bixia walked faster and faster, and followed closely behind without obstacles, until a half-length and wide cave appeared in front of her, Bixia stopped, and whispered to Wu Barrier: "The seal is in this cave, and the villagers have also entered this cave, the space in this cave is huge, there are holes in the hole, staggered and horizontal, only one way can go to the place where the seal is, and the rest of the cave entrances are dead ends, you follow me." He glanced back at Wuji, nodded when he saw Wuji, leaned down into the cave, and Wuji followed in.

As soon as I entered the cave, I immediately disappeared into the darkness, and walked a hundred zhang away before I came to a wide area, with the slight glow of the spar on the stone wall, I vaguely saw the outline of the cave, and there was a fork in the road in front of me, and Bixia walked lightly to the hole on the right.

This cave is naturally formed, sloping downward, intricate, and the forks are dense, if there is no Bixia to guide, it will inevitably go astray, but after a long time, it is still impossible to find half of the shadow of the villagers, Bixia secretly thought: "Is it really as Wuxian said, someone is trying to break the seal?" But who are they, how do they know that there is a seal here, and what are so many villagers to do, but she can't find the answer.

......

There was a faint 'jingling' ringtone, Bixia stopped to listen carefully, and was sure that this bell had a strange rhythm and confused people's minds, if a person who had no cultivation heard it, he would definitely be confused by it and controlled by it, thinking: "Where did a person with such a strong mind come out, this person's cultivation is unfathomable." ”

Turning his head through the faint light emitted by the spar, he looked at Wuji, who was staggering behind him, and said softly: "You said it, cover your ears quickly, don't listen to this bell." ”

Wuji shook his head, signaling that he didn't have to, confident that the ringing would not disturb his sanity.

With Bixia's cultivation, she was naturally not afraid of this bell, and when she saw Wuji, she shook her head and said in her heart: "This kid still has such ability, it seems that he is not only weak." He turned to the bell.

The bell became clearer and clearer, and Bixia slowed down and walked on guard, finally poking out her gaze and seeing the disappeared villagers.

The cave is more than two zhang wide, and by the light of the fire, you can clearly see the villagers moving slowly behind the team, like zombies walking straight away, no doubt, it must be controlled by the harsh bell in front of the team, followed by two people, holding torches, wearing black clothes, and their feet fall to the ground silently.

After Bixia retreated to the stone wall, she whispered to Wu Ji: "There is a fork in the road not far away, although we can't reach the place where the seal is, we can see the seal at a high place, and when they walk by, we will go there to hide and observe what they want." ”

When the bell is far away, Bixia leads the barrier, walks lightly towards a very narrow fork in the road, and travels a distance of 100 zhang, the cave slopes upward, can only allow one person to climb up, Bixia's arm has not yet recovered, dare not use force, can only rely on true qi to protect the arm, support the body, rely on the strength of the feet, climb up, follow behind without obstacles, it is not very easy.

Finally, the two of them climbed to a flat area, and after resting for a while, they walked through a rough road, and saw the light coming through the cracks in the stone wall, Bixia whispered: "This is it." ”

The crack is only two fingers wide and more than a foot long, and it is in a stone wall with a radius of more than 100 zhang, and it is just through the crack that you can see the center of the space and the location of the seal.

Bixia walked gently to the crack, against the light, looked down, and stared wide-eyed, only to see those expressionless men, women, and children, nearly three hundred, standing in front of the seal, motionless, silent, indescribably cold, facing the villagers stood more than a dozen people in black, all wearing white masks, like ghosts.

The first three people, all wearing masks, covering their mouths and noses, only showing their eyes and eyebrows, the middle one, hair like snow, wearing a white robe, fairy wind bones, carrying a long sword behind him, the person on the left has fiery red hair, wearing a red robe, and the golden bell that makes a piercing sound is shaking in his hand, and the person on the right is wearing a blue robe, and his hair is gray, but he is full of energy, except for the red-haired man's unpredictable cultivation, the other two old men are all in the realm of scattered immortals.

The seal is a circular copper plate with a diameter of ten zhang, embedded in the underground rock, the thickness is unknown, although after thousands of years, the surface is still smooth, reflecting the scene of the entire space.

Wu Jian didn't know when he had already looked down through the crack, and said in a low voice: "They are the group of Taoist priests of the imperial court. Because he saw Qingyang wearing a mask, the old camel of Qianshan with a prosthetic leg on his left arm, why bother with his hair half-bundled and half-scattered, and Jiang Yuan wearing a blue robe.

Although Bixia had never seen the people that Wuji recognized, she recognized Dao Xuan in a white robe, because Dao Xuan had climbed Mount Tai with the First Emperor, and when she saw her, Wu Jian said that it was him.

Bixia turned her head to look at Wu Jian who was close at hand, and saw that he was looking out through the crack, his eyes radiating a fierce light that she had never seen before, and asked, "You are with them, do you know what they are going to do?"

Wuji didn't answer, and continued to stare outside, Bixia stared at Wuji for a long time by the light, and couldn't see what kind of person Wuji was, what was going on in her heart, and after a while, she suddenly felt that she was as innocent as a child in front of him, and her heart trembled, and she said: "What's wrong with me, why do I have such distracting thoughts at this time." He hurriedly turned his head away and watched.

I only heard Jiang Yuan say in a deep voice: "Huo Zhenren, let's start!"

The red-haired Taoist nodded slightly, sat down on the copper plate, and said in a low voice at this time: "He is going to break the seal." ”

Bixia has been practicing for sixty years, and her thoughts have never been so chaotic as they are today, how did these people from the imperial court find this place, what do they want to confuse the innocent villagers, who is this red-haired Taoist, why did they break the seal, and muttered: "They want to get the rest of the soil and control the flood?"

Wu Barrier said: "If they have a trace of kindness from Yuanjun, it is inevitable, let's continue to watch." ”

At this time, the red-haired man's hands were sealed, his clothes were encouraging, and the true qi around his body was surging, and his whole body seemed to be ignited, bursting into flames, and he didn't know what incantation was silently reciting in his mouth, and his body slowly rose out of thin air, illuminating the entire space like day.

People in mid-air, palms like fire wheels, began to dance, 'poof', a single palm slapped out a white flame, hit the dry position of the copper plate, after falling, the time on the copper plate burned, and then, flew out of a black flame, fell to the Kun position, Kun Wei also burned up, the red-haired man's hands were sealed again, the two flames under the body burned more and more, the flames jumped, pierced out more than ten zhang high, blazing.

Bixia asked in a low voice, "Can he break this seal?"

"Yes!" replied, looking at the flames.

The red-haired man's body began to spin, driving the two flames under him to rotate, the black and white flames, like two tadpoles, dragging their long tails, swimming in a loop in the huge copper disk, the speed gradually accelerated, the copper disk began to melt in the scorching flames, and the surface became bright, like a golden pool, rippling from time to time.

Bixia said in her heart: "If you think about it for another thousand years, you won't think of this method of unsealing, let alone control such two flames, who is this person, why have you never heard of such a master in this world!"

The golden liquid in the copper disc also began to rotate with the flames, gradually covering the flames, and a whirlpool appeared in the center of the disc, the whirlpool was like a funnel, spinning deeper and deeper, and the speed was accelerating, it had sunk more than three zhang deep, and the surrounding temperature was unbearable, Jiang Yuan and the others avoided it from afar.

Bixia was anxious at the moment, although he didn't know who this person was, but this person had confused so many people to come here, and he didn't dare to show his face in the cave, he would definitely do something that was unreasonable, and he wouldn't use the soil to deal with the flood, but at the moment, even if she wasn't seriously injured, she couldn't stop them from doing evil, "How is this good, is it hiding here, watching these innocent villagers being killed?"

Wuji turned his head to look at Bixia and said in a low voice: "Yuanjun, don't worry, they unlocked the seal for us, isn't it good?"

Bixia almost didn't chuckle out loud when she heard Wuji's words, and said in a low voice: "You are not only cold-blooded and bold, but also speak wildly!" This is Bixia's rare smile, although the light is very dim and fleeting, but she smiled.

......

The huge, hot, swirling golden funnel sank into a depth of more than ten feet, and when black gaps began to appear at the bottom, there was an angry cry like a bell, "Huo Biao, take your life!" The voice resounded throughout the space.
