The time came to 198 A.D., and Shi Xin was eighteen years old. This is the eighth year that he has traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, the ninth rank of the six-fold pulse master. He commanded an army of 700,000 troops, strong soldiers and strong horses, strategists like clouds, military generals like rain, and sat on half of the Han Dynasty.

In order to cope with the next challenge, he led Zhuge Liang and other five people to climb Lishan again.

And just as they were out day and night, looking at the target, in the depths of the Daba Mountain Range, there were also two people shuttling through the dense forest, and their bodies were as fast as ghosts.

One was gray-haired and thin, and the other had gloomy eyes and an extra-long neck.

It is Yu Ji and Sima Yi who are two masters and apprentices.

In order to relieve their worries, they left everything behind and came to the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains to find the whereabouts of Zhang Daoling and Liu Xie.

As long as these two people are found and taken down, Shi Xin, who has a peaceful heart in his body, has nothing to do, no matter how he jumps, he finally has to give up the country he has won and become an ordinary general under Sima Yi.

The only one who can lift the control of the Taiping Mind is Zhang Daoling, who understands the "Taixuan Sutra...... Maybe now we have to add one more Liu Xie.

Yu Ji became more and more anxious, so he took Sima Yi and decided to solve these two troubles first.

They first infiltrated Qingcheng Mountain, where Zhang Daoling founded the Zhengyi Sect.

The Zhengyi Sect has been completely hollowed out since Zhang Lu raised his army, and only a few old Taoist priests with gloomy expressions are guarding a huge Taoist temple, and the talents are withering.

The two searched and returned disappointed.

Then the two went to Longhu Mountain and Heming Mountain, both of which are well-known immortal mountains, which are extremely conducive to Zhang Daoling's cultivation of immortal arts. Even if it's not in the mountains, it may be nearby.

It's a pity that the two searched the vicinity of the two famous mountains, but still found nothing.

It took another two months, that is, when Shi Xin happened to subdue the four southern states and sit in Xiangyang to transfer troops, the two of them tried their luck everywhere in the lofty mountains of the two mountain ranges like headless flies, but the result was still nothing.

As a last resort, Sima Yi suddenly remembered a person, that is, Zhang Song, who was familiar with the terrain of Shuzhong.

Zhang Song has remained in Chengdu since he surrendered to Sima Yi. His greatest hobby in life was to draw the terrain carefully. This is similar to history, when Liu Bei entered Shu, it was the topographic map he provided and noted all the dangers of mountains and rivers on it, as well as military secrets such as weapons treasury and troop deployment, which provided great convenience for Liu Bei to enter Shu.

Sima Yi didn't want to work hard to mobilize the crowd, so he sneaked into Zhang Song's mansion alone and asked him if there were any quiet places in the two mountain ranges that ordinary people didn't know.

In view of Sima Yi's methods, Zhang Song has always been afraid of this lord, and when he saw him sneaking in to ask this question, he thought it was a matter of national affairs, so he naturally tried his best to curry favor.

How do you know that even mentioning a few places, Sima Yi said that he has already been there. When he was disappointed, Zhang Song, who was thinking hard, suddenly seemed to remember something, and said hurriedly:

"My lord, there is a little-known place, and I have occasionally heard the local natives mention it, and my subordinates have pursued it several times, but they have not found it. It is rumored that this place is located near Mt. Sendai (i.e., Mt. Yonekura), in the middle of a dense forest and high mountains, and the fog is so deep that people often lose their way if they enter it. I heard that there are a total of eighteen pools of water in it, which are suspicious and real, like a fairyland. Or maybe it's the place the lord needs to find. ”

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, "I've been to Sendai Mountain, but I didn't see the place you mentioned, could it be that I missed it? This place is so hidden and beautiful, but I can't miss it." ”

Ask for a rough idea

direction, Sima Yi raised his feet and wanted to go.

Zhang Song hurriedly stopped, pursed his lips, and stopped talking.

Sima Yi frowned and said, "Zhang Ziqiao might as well say it directly, I have something important to do, and I can't delay." ”

"Yes...... It's about the recent trends in the world. Cao Cao died, and Shi Xin had already won the four southern states, with 700,000 armor, and was eyeing my territory. Lord, you ......"

Sima Yi had to stop, his cold eyes swept Zhang Song, and the latter trembled and lowered his head in panic.

"What else?"

Zhang Song bowed and said: "Xun Yu and Xun Yu led 50,000 deserters to join our army, and Deng Shizai and Zhong Shiji accepted them into Chang'an; Cao Pi led a group of civil and military forces, and also led 50,000 troops, which were accepted into Chengdu by Pang Shiyuan. ”

"Hehe, such a big thing happens in the world, everyone has a lot of complaints about me, right? Zhang Ziqiao, do you also think that I don't do my business, and I don't know where to go at a critical time?"

There was a mountain pressure on the opposite side, Zhang Song's face was like earth, and his waist was bent lower.

"Subordinate...... Don't dare!"

"Hmph, Cao Cao and Shi Xin are comparable on the surface, but how can they be at the same level in strength? As for the remaining 100,000 defeated troops, whether they are sincere or false, we will all scatter them and join our army, and then order the generals to cultivate the Taiping Mind Method, and everything will be solved. Deng Shizai and a few others have been with me for a long time, so I guess they did the same, right?"

Zhang Song bowed to the end, "The lord is like a god, and his subordinates are obedient!"

"I'll return to Chang'an as soon as I'm done with the important business at hand. You take my token and repair a book, and order all the generals under your command to restrain their soldiers and horses, and don't compete with Shi Xin for a while. I'll decide when I get back. ”

Zhang Song took the token with both hands, "Subordinates receive orders." ”

"Okay, let's do it first!"

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yi's figure had disappeared into the darkness, and he couldn't even see a shadow.

Out of Zhang Song's Mansion, Sima Yi joined Yu Ji outside the city.

"Master, the world has changed, if you can't find Zhang Daoling this time, the disciple will rush back to Chang'an immediately. ”

Yu Ji rarely asks about political matters, and since Sima Yi said that the military situation is urgent, it will naturally not be a trivial matter.

"Can Zhong Da ask something from Zhang Song's mouth?"

Yu Ji is more concerned about the whereabouts of the senior brother.

"Zhang Song has a villain face, but he does have some ability in geography. The places he mentioned at the beginning were all unknown strange mountains and strange forests, but unfortunately we have all been there. Eventually, he finally named a location that I thought was more reliable, and it was near Mt. Sendai. ”

"Without further ado, let's go as soon as possible!"

Yu Ji was also a little anxious, if he was asked to face Zhang Daoling alone, the two knew the roots, and the victory or defeat was only five or five. If Sima Yi had joined, the situation would have been very different.

This disciple is really very human, he has already risen to the tenth rank and triple level at a young age, showing an amazing cultivation talent.

Shi Xin?

It's still a few notches off.

The two of them quickly approached Sendai Mountain, and it only took half a day to set off from Chengdu.

"Is this it?"

It took another two hours for the two men to follow a hidden spring and finally come to a deep pool.

I saw the smoke in front of me, the flowers and leaves, the red and green are suitable, the birds and beasts are singing, like a fairyland.

Yu Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "Zhongda, it seems that we have found the right place." There is plenty of aura here, especially suitable for cultivating immortal qi, if I were a senior brother, I would definitely choose this place. ”

Immortal art and ghost dao are inherently compatible, and in order to defeat Zhang Daoling, the first fierce opponent in his life, Yu Ji usually studies the cultivation method of immortal arts, so he quickly made a judgment.

"That being the case, we should be all the more cautious! The more dangerous the situation, the more we must not be alarmed. Let's take a look at the situation first. ”

Yu Ji was very jealous of Zhang Daoling and deeply sympathized with Sima Yi's words. The two of them hid their whereabouts, slowed down the speed of the search, and slowly moved forward.

Five days later......

This is the depths of the eighteen pools, a tall and thin figure sits in the middle of the two pools, and the layers of mist shrouds his figure, occasionally fluttering with the mountain breeze, looming.

He was not young, with gray hair and a white-washed robe. At this time, he was crossing his legs and knees, pinching the Dharma with his left and right hands, exhaling slowly, and cultivating with a special method of breathing.

Not far from him, a young, thin figure floated in the water in the air, the same posture, the same method of breathing.

The difference is that the mist around the young man's body is moving, but it is controlled by him, absorbed into his body at a special frequency, and then expelled after a while.

An hour later, they both opened their eyes at the same time.

The old man looked at the figure of the young man, nodded secretly, and said, "Your Majesty, your Taixuan True Qi is close to Dacheng, which is really gratifying." ”

The young man's heart moved slightly, his figure floated towards the old man, stood next to him, and said respectfully: "Liu Xie can regain his life and cultivate to the supreme divine skill, all thanks to the Dao Master's teachings. ”

"The Taixuan Sutra is wonderful, but without a certain talent and understanding, coupled with your extraordinary perseverance, it is difficult for me to have such a speed of progress no matter how much I teach. ”

Liu Xie was silent, no matter how powerful he was, he only had ten years to live, and this was the third year that he had escaped from Chang'an.

Even if he completed the cultivation of the Zhengyi Sutra and the Taixuan Sutra handed down by Zhang Daoling, as well as the Sword Technique of the Son of Heaven and the Heart Method of the Son of Heaven obtained from the Queen Mother's bedroom, he would not be able to change this fact.

He has seven years to live!

Zhang Daoling once said that he is a person with an "innate body", and he can get twice the result with half the effort by practicing any exercises, and he can also practice immortal arts, but the root of the disease that fell in his youth cannot be repaired, and the more full the true qi in his body, the more his body can bear it.

The most helpless thing in life is nothing more than that!

"Congratulations...... Is it?"

Liu Xie repeated it in his heart, but his face remained silent. Speaking of cultivation, he knew that there was still a big gap between him and Zhang Daoling.

The white mist around them is not as simple as ordinary mist water, Liu Xie is ingesting immortal qi from nature and refining himself, while Zhang Daoling's mist is really fog, he is already strong enough, he has reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and now all that needs to be done is to further condense the immortal qi in his body.

Zhang Daoling recreated Liu Xie's kindness, and Liu Xie didn't want to show too much sadness in front of him. With his scheming, when he wants to deceive, no one can see it.

The two discussed their experience in practicing, and Liu Xie retired.

About half a mile from the waterhole, in the dense forest, there is a simple grass hut, which is their habitat.

At noon on this day, Liu Xie went back to prepare lunch.
