"Winter peach root, the explanation at the time was because of winter peach root. ”

"Twenty years ago, Wang Yunhai, as the first sixth-generation disciple, entered the Yongmei Secret Realm with the permission of the Xuanneng Immortal Master. You had just been born at that time. At that time, there was no concept of six generations. He has only been in the sect for a few years. I joined the sect as a casual cultivator before. At that time, no one knew that he still had a younger brother, and he was still a child, Wang Yunming, who was only eleven or twelve years old. He has already built a foundation for his own cultivation, and he cultivates the Seven Killing Star Qi very quickly. At that time, we already had plans to build six generations. Seeing that he was young, he planned to establish six generations of disciples with him as the leader. The recruitment of outer disciples began again, and gradually established the six generations into what they are today. Several elders of the fifth generation in the sect all felt that he was extremely talented and could become the pillar of the next six generations of disciples. The Xuan Neng Immortal Master was also out of the kindness of Aicai, allowing him to enter the Yongmei Secret Realm to cultivate.

But two months later, when he came out of the secret realm, his cultivation was inch-free, and he was found to have exhausted the seven killing breaths in his body, and he was extremely weak. The most serious thing is that his consciousness is also slightly damaged, affecting some of his memories. He could no longer use the Seven Killing Star Technique to draw out pure star energy. Due to the lack of memory, he was unable to recall what had caused the situation. The immortal master immediately examined his body. Finally got the truth of the matter. He must have accidentally ingested an elixir that was very rare in the outside world, winter peach root, in the secret realm.

"There are a few spirit grasses in the secret realm that are absolutely not to be taken, and the Xuan Neng Immortal Master has already told him. Cultivators who have already begun to cultivate the Seven Killing Star Qi have many medicines that cannot be used indiscriminately, and they have strict requirements for all aspects of the bloodline qi. Like you, Senior Sister Hou, the Immortal Master also reminded her of a lot of taboos before she entered. But Wang Yunhai somehow still took the winter peach root that he had simply refined. The immortal master said that the Seven Killing Star Qi and the various spiritual elements in the winter peach root were extremely repulsive. If taken without strict treatment, there will be very, very many side effects. Wang Yunhai ended up like this, which is also reasonable. ”

"No one knows why he went to eat winter peach roots. Because of this, no one can say anything about what happened to him. All the fault seems to be on him. Wang Yunhai stayed on the Immortal Master Mountain for a few days, but on the day he came down the mountain, in front of the extremely disappointed elders, he said with a hideous face that he would never do such a stupid thing. Someone must have framed him in the secret realm, and although he can't remember, one day he will find out everything and take revenge.

"All the elders of the five generations, I was also present at the time, and I was very angry after listening to his rebellious remarks. He continued to say that he was going to leave the Tu Feng Sect, and he would be the enemy of my sect in this life. It seemed that he was too stimulated to say these words in front of everyone. Some people want to persuade him, while others want to teach him a good lesson to see if he dares to talk nonsense. But only one person, the second senior brother, that is, the sect master, unexpectedly approved him to leave. At that time, the person who taught him to cultivate the Seven Killing Star Technique was the sect master himself. He didn't say much, but his attitude was very resolute and let Wang Yunhai leave. I don't care if I'm letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Wang Yunhai just left. In the beginning, he continued to do the same casual cultivation he used to do near Yungui. But almost no one in the sect has seen him. But he... He once assassinated a disciple of the five generations, and a mortal who had something to do with his teacher. But none of the sects caught him.

"Later, I don't know what kind of mentality he had, maybe he was scared and left Yungui, as you said, in the Beihai area. No one from the sect had heard of him again. All the traces he left in the Tu Feng Sect were blocked by the sect master. Those in the know never discuss this matter lightly. It's hard to guess what Senior Brother Xinzhao thinks in his heart. ”

"So... Master, you also feel that the reason why he completely lost the opportunity to kill the Seven Kills was not because of the winter peach root?" Xia Fanxing listened very carefully, and immediately asked after a pause.

Xinheng sighed, then nodded heavily. "What happened to you and Hou Ying makes me wonder what happened back then. What are the secrets of Yongmei's secret realm? There are also immortal masters. ”

Xin Heng casually mentioned again, "Wang Yunhai completely missed the Seven Killings Dao, and it seems that he later transferred to the Xingzhu Sea Sect." This person's talent is indeed too good, and he directly cultivated from the branch of the Purple Micro Star Technique, which is difficult to cultivate in the Sea of Stars. ”

Moreover, in the North Sea, it has been revered as a few violets. Xia Fanxing added. Immediately, another doubt came to my mind, "Master, you just mentioned that there is a mortal who has a good relationship with you and died at his hands?"

Xin Heng nodded heavily, his face a little gloomy, "That person has been dead for more than ten years. He didn't deserve to die at all, he didn't have the slightest connection with our sect. Moreover, Wang Yunhai left Yungui soon after taking his life. ”

"This matter has always been a pimple in the teacher's heart. Recently, such an abnormal thing happened in the Yongmei Secret Realm. As a teacher, you have to figure out why. For the sake of my old man who was angry because of my sect. ”

Xia Fanxing nodded. He took a deep breath and understood what the problem was. After being silent for a while, he said firmly, "The apprentice will definitely help the master pay attention." If I could, I'd be a little curious about the identity of the old man. ”

"Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with your parents. Xin Heng shook his head with a wry smile and said as if talking to himself, "However, you should find out soon." After talking so much, it takes up a lot of your time, go down to guard the mountain, and you have to go back to watch Meifeng as a teacher. Yesterday, I returned to Zhixuan Peak and your Senior Sister Jin to guard the mountain, and it felt the same as some time ago, right?"

Xia Fanxing, who was still a little curious, saw the master asking, and said with a smile, "Everything is fine." It's just a little strange, how did I watch it all day yesterday, and I almost didn't see a single one who came to make trouble. ”

"Well, you'll understand it soon. The good deeds are just saving their energy and preparing to make a big fuss next. Xinheng sold another pass and waved him away. Xia Fanxing got up and opened the door, but heard him say again, "Oh, by the way, there is another important matter, related to the school of the Inner Sect, I have already told Zheng Hong, he will tell you if you have the opportunity to meet today." ”

Xia Fanxing was stunned for a second, remembering who the person "Zheng Hong" was - this was Xin Hengshou's second apprentice. Generally speaking, one of the twenty-four disciples studied under one of the five generations of disciples, and it can be said that they are all mantle disciples. But there are a small number of people who will accept two or even more. Xinheng has two apprentices, and this Zheng Hong is the fifteenth disciple of the seat. A few years ago, he stood out among the outer disciples and became an inner disciple, and with his ability, he won the seat of twenty-four disciples, and was finally favored by Xinheng and became Xia Fanxing's junior disciple.

But although the two studied under the same school, Zheng Hong rarely intersected with him. Mainly because this human nature is too cold. It's a dead face to anyone, and it's really only interested in cultivation. Of course, he is also pure.

Xia Fanxing found himself standing at the door for a while, so he hurriedly said goodbye to his master and walked out of the house. Halfway up the mountain, it was noon, and the sunlight was still a little scorching. But all around, not far from each other, there are many disciples of five generations, all performing the duty of guarding the mountain. He politely greeted the two uncles in front of him and walked quickly to the foot of the mountain.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, the first thing I saw was Senior Sister Jin Ru who was seriously patrolling around the circle.

It was not easy, within two months of his departure, Jin Ru finally broke through the shackles of a year and successfully improved a small realm. Her master's heart is like a Taoist, but she is very happy, and at the six-generation meeting of the sect in a few months, maybe Jin Ru will be able to raise her seat to a higher level. After all, Han Ningxue, the junior sister who was originally ranked last, had already left the sect, and Jin Ru's current position among the twenty-four disciples was indeed a little embarrassing.

Yesterday, on the first day when Xia Fanxing returned to the foot of Zhixuanfeng Mountain to guard the mountain, Jin Ru was very excited to tell him how he had broken through. In fact, there is nothing special, unlike the epiphany before Xia Fanxing's first attempt to cross the tribulation, there is no coincidence in her breakthrough process. It's just that in this year, Jin Ru insisted on breathing and refining qi every day, learning sword refining and refining body, and it was time to reap the results. However, Xia Fanxing listened to her and found a little bit that Jin Ru was different from others. In the past few months, for the sake of An Lushan's affairs, most of the disciples in the sect have fought with people from the outside world, and their hands are stained with blood. Although it is rare to cause a major incident, for most of the disciples who have not chosen to practice the Seven Killing Star Qi, it is definitely not a good thing to fight and kill at every turn.

And Jin Ru is gentle like a lamb, and nearly three months have passed, guarding Zhixuanfeng every day, but there is no trace of anger in her. It can be seen that Jin Ru's temperament is very consistent with the characteristics of the Stars and the Sea Method, not slow or sick, conforming to the way of heaven, and the heart is like stopping water. Xia Fanxing asked himself, this is a realm that he is temporarily discouraged.

"Senior sister, you go and rest under the tree, it's good to have me to guard it. Xia Fanxing knew that Jin Ru must have been standing guard until now early in the morning, and after making a call to Uncle Luo Ji at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but whisper to her.

Jin Ru smiled and shook her head, and Xia Fanxing no longer persuaded her. After thinking about it for a while, his mind moved, and an object flashed out of the storage bag in the acupoint in his body and appeared in his hand. It was the Yuqing Spirit Sword that Xin Heng gave him. He walked up to Jin Ru and asked in a low voice, "Hey, how about this sword?"

Jin Ru looked down and whispered, "Senior brother, this seems to be made of Yuqing stone." What a baby. ”

Xia Fanxing smiled, "Master gave it to me." It's easy to use. You see, I have such a good sword, even if someone comes to attack it, I will definitely be able to stop it. You just go and take a break. Listen to me, senior sister, you have just broken through, and it is best to spend more time consolidating the tendons and veins in your body. ”

He said earnestly. Jin Ru thought for a while, nodded with a smile, thanked him, and said, "I'll just sit down here and meditate for a while, and I'll help you watch the dots." Later, if Uncle Luo comes, you will have to call me quickly. ”

Xia Fanxing smiled and nodded. Sure enough, as he expected, nearly half an hour passed, and between the broad mountains, not only Zhixuan Peak, but all the other spiritual mountains within his sight were all calm, not at all like the original chaos. At that time, Xia Fanxing once felt that he was in the middle of a big war, and from time to time there would be people who would come to intrude on Lingshan, which was the eye of the big array.

But now that he has matured a lot, the calm in front of him makes him feel more dangerous.

"Senior brother, do you have something to do?" Jin Ru, who had been sitting down for a long time before, suddenly said, and the rich aura gathered around Xia Fanxing also dissipated as the voice sounded. He looked back, and Jin Ru said slowly, "I see the way you keep frowning..."

Xia Fanxing hesitated for a moment and expressed his doubts.

Jin Ru nodded, "That's true. And almost no one has been making trouble since about a week ago. I think I've heard ......"

"How?"

"Those sects are recuperating... Moreover, in a few days, it seems that we will no longer have to guard the mountain, and the next time we will return to the inner sect and cultivate by ourselves. ”

Xia Fanxing couldn't help frowning, and said puzzledly, "This... How can this be? Without our words, will there be enough manpower? And just now, Master seems to have said that they are waiting for an opportunity to save their energy......

Jin Ru shook her head, was silent for a moment, and then said, "And... In the past month or so, some strange people have come to the sect. The identity is unknown, but the cultivation is good, and most of the people who come are now on the top of each mountain. But they don't seem to be enemies, but allies....."

Xia Fanxing nodded slowly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Senior sister, it seems that An Lushan's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is only half a month, right?"

"I seem to get it. Do you think, why do those sects that oppose An Lushan come to our Twelve Spirit Mountains to make trouble? Because his Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony requires our Sect Protector Great Array to be opposed to its Heavenly Sacrifice Great Array, that is to say, our Great Array is an important part of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Now that the Fan Yang Heaven Sacrifice Array has already been completed, maybe... Before the ceremony, they will conduct a preliminary test, which will use our Sect Protector Array..."

"If the Protector Array is used for other purposes, then it will not be able to continue to protect us. I see, that's why almost no one has come to make trouble in recent days. They've definitely gotten the news. I don't know where it leaked. That's why I plan to save effort and wait until the big array closes, and then make a big fuss after preparing for the pre-test... When the time comes, those sects that have long looked at us unpleasantly will definitely take this opportunity to make a deadly move, and they must want to destroy our sect's thousand-year-old Dao vein....." Xia Fanxing said incredulously.

Jin Ru looked a little flustered, waited for a while, and said cautiously, "Senior brother, it's not as serious as you think, right? Master, they will definitely be able to protect the sect's ......."

"Senior sister, you don't understand. Once the Protector Array fails, the things we rely on the most during this time will be gone. They can invade the sect and use Dao techniques to kill people, and they are not restricted at all! The elders let us return to the inner sect for the sake of not being harmed. But in this case...... Do you really think they can stop the siege of so many people with intentions? They won't give up this opportunity, we, one of the eight great ancient sects, have the longest history, and there are still few enemies? With this opportunity, if it were me, I would also do it absolutely!" Xia Fanxing gasped excitedly, feeling a fever in his brain.

Jin Ru also became serious and said, "Senior brother, do you think they won't understand what we can all see? I don't think the sect master has any intention of changing his mind. It's impossible for them to watch the sect fall into a state of no return, right? I think they must have a backhand. ”

A person suddenly appeared in Xia Fanxing's mind, the Golden Period Method of the Nine Lotus Sect. That day, when he was in the palace of King Rong, he said a lot about Tu Feng Sect. There were some things that he still finds incomprehensible. But there is one sentence that he has a strong feeling now! It's over, it is very likely that the upper echelons of the sect are confused by the sect outside!

"And it's not just my Nine Lotus Sect. Don't look at your Tu Feng Sect now like that rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats. How many sects that claim to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty poke at your backbone and scold, secretly, they all have more or less connections with Fanyang An Lushan. ”

Xia Fanxing didn't know why he suddenly became so "smart". In an instant, he cleared all his thoughts.

The strange visitors that Jin Ru said were not bad. Hehe, in fact, they are those people in the mouth of the Golden Period. In order to maximize the benefits of this mundane turmoil, the sects of these people sided with the Tang Dynasty on the one hand, and secretly sent these people to negotiate with Tu Feng Sect and Fan Yang on the other hand.

In fact, everyone understands this truth, and smart people will not hang themselves from a tree again. Almost all the sects with the highest rank in the row will make preparations with both hands at this time. Over the past thousands of years, Tu Fengzong has gone through many dynastic changes, and he has done this many times. Therefore, the elders felt that the practices of those sects were reasonable and in line with this unspoken rule that everyone knew. So he received these people and even took them to the top of the mountain.

They may have promised that they would not be heavy-handed against the Tu Feng Sect, and all the actions that their sect did against the Tu Feng Sect were superficial. The sect master may also think that if he took them to the top of the mountain, he would have so many hostages from various sects and sects in his hands, all of whom were good at cultivation, and many of them were elders in important positions. How could he be betrayed? Therefore, he did not pay attention to the issue of the closing time of the Great Sect Protector Array. Maybe everyone thinks that even if the various sects come to the door at that time, they are just for show. So, they thought that there was no problem with the leak of the news that the pre-test was going to be conducted.

Tu Feng Sect understands the rules too well, and understands too well what these sects think in their hearts when they make choices. As a matter of course, they acted on the basis of experience, and let the news leak of the imminent closure of the Great Sect Protector Array... However, Xia Fanxing absolutely didn't believe that with such an excellent opportunity, those sects would not be heavy-handed, and they would not even be able to let the Tu Feng Sect go!

The gentle and elegant Dao Chang Jin Period Law was like a huge haze enveloping his heart. For some reason, as soon as he thought of the golden period, he became even more determined in his thoughts. The major sects will not be reluctant to give up some hostages, and they will force the Tu Feng Sect to a dead end this time! If it continues like this, the day they will attack on a large scale, the inheritance of the Eight Great Ancient Sects will definitely be overturned! However, the elders of the sect are still superstitious about their own experience!

"Senior brother?" Jin Ru saw him standing there in a daze, stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but say.

"Ahh It's okay, senior sister, what you said makes sense..."Xia Fanxing turned around in a trance, and suddenly saw a flash of spiritual light in the distance. At a very fast speed, the person who came ran towards Zhixuan Peak from the direction of the Inner Sect. The strange thing is that although this person is fast, he jumps from the left and jumps from the right to Lingshan. Xia Fanxing didn't dare to slack off, but he ignored that the other party was from the Inner Sect, but in fact, he was a disciple of the sect. He shouted, "Senior sister, be careful!"

Then he jumped up, grasped the Yuqing sword, and ran towards the erratic and fast figure.
