PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Zhang Yan saw that the scene was interrupted, it was not surprising, although the weevil has a body as solid as a golden stone, but after all, it is only a first-class monster, as long as it has not been transformed, its spiritual intelligence cannot be compared with a person, and it is rare to be able to record a few breaths.

After a little investigation, he found that no outsiders had been here for at least 9,000 years, that is, the weevil's memory should have happened 9,000 years ago, which is very far away.

Thinking back to that figure, he couldn't help but guess its identity.

Although it was only a glimpse of the Returning Light Stone, it could still be judged that this person's Dao Xing was extremely high, and it was likely that he had reached the realm of mortal transformation.

This is not surprising, more than 10,000 years ago, after all, it was different from this time, and the monks of this generation of Ping Demon Demons contributed a lot.

Judging from this person's clothing and various subtle actions, he should have been born in Xizhou.

Those monks outside the heavens seem to be the same as the monks in this realm, but in fact, there are slight differences in some aspects, that is, the Mingcang sect Taoist system originally came from outside the heavens, and there are detailed written records, so they can be distinguished so clearly.

He pondered: "The scenery in the stone seems to be in this mountain, so it is not that the Sun-swallowing Blue Locust is still fighting after it is sealed into this small realm, that is, there are still people who have come to private in the future." ”

However, the latter possibility is less, there is Hanyuan heavy water to close the inside and outside, there is no dragon soul spirit, or he is like the Five Elements Escape Method, it is impossible to get here, but the person who was originally responsible for guarding and suppressing here may be able to enter here, as for why he did this, it is unknown.

He remembered that in the jade book, he was very secretive about the situation in the small realm, and it seemed that this situation was more complicated than he imagined.

After a long time in the belly of the mountain, seeing that there were no more valuable clues here, Zhang Yan no longer stayed here, but urged the sword light. Escaped from the inside.

When he reached the outside, he glanced around and found that the place he was in was made up of several dark red mountains, all of which were stained with blood.

In front of him, there was a parched earth, and there were no trees or weeds in sight. There are no lakes and lakes, and the rest is just undulating, like a wave-like surface desert, only in the far sky, you can see the phantom of a long giant mountain.

In the case that the locust could not absorb the spiritual energy, it is very likely that it is hiding somewhere and sleeping to minimize its own damage.

And in such a vast small world, if you want to find this demon out, it seems that you have to work hard.

He took out the Orb of Manifestation. After feeling for a moment, he found that Huo Xuan and a few others were coming over from his place, and after thinking about it, he sat down cross-legged and waited patiently.

Three days later, in the sky of his left hand, there was a golden light like water that flashed up, and when he reached the front of the mountain, he folded down. The golden light hit the ground, and the sound of clear water was clear. A young man in plain clothes came out, and said, "Master of the True Palace." ”

Zhang Yan stood up, returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Protector Lu arrived first, I don't know where you came, have you seen anything unusual?"

Lu Junyang replied: "Nothing else has been discovered. It's just that when Lu came in, he landed in a dead wood forest, because of the long past, he had already turned into stone jade, only on the trunk of each tree. There are a lot of demon insects left behind to shed their shells. ”

Zhang Yan sighed, and then asked, "Does Protector Lu know what kind of demon insect it is, and how many are there?"

Lu Junyang said: "I happen to know that this is the Miaoyin cicada, that forest is extremely vast, and there are no less than a million insect shells." ”

"Millions...... Zhang Yan thought for a while, and said: "Miaoyin cicadas are also descendants of green locusts, although they are shallow and timid, but there are a lot of them. ”

The two of them waited here for another day, and a golden flame flew in the right direction, but it was Huo Xuan who arrived.

After meeting with the two, Zhang Yan also asked him about his situation, but his expression was calm, and he said: "In my direction, along the way, I saw a lot of pits and caves, cliffs and cracked mountains everywhere, and many damaged magic weapons used by cultivators. ”

Zhang Yan nodded, if Huo Xuan was right, then according to the previous guess, after sealing the demon locust, there were several fierce battles here, perhaps in order to completely exterminate it, since this demon is not dead, it is obvious that the cultivator's side has lost.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly flashed, he turned his head to look straight ahead, and said, "That's not right." ”

Huo Xuan and Lu Junyang also sensed something wrong at the same time at this moment, and in their senses, the qi that originally belonged to Mu Shoushan suddenly disappeared.

With the supernatural ability of shepherd and guard the mountain, if there is an accident in the ground, it is impossible to move at all. Then either something happened unexpectedly, or the manifestation bead was destroyed.

Huo Xuan asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that Mu Zhenren did it himself?"

Zhang Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no such possibility, but it is possible that we have strayed into a certain place, and the qi is covered, so that we can't sense it." ”

If there is a problem with Mu Shoushan, it can only be the distraction obsession, but not to mention that there is a law seal planted in his body in advance, that is, the obsession really comes out, destroys the orb, that is, cuts off the way out, and it is not good for him, although the distraction is proud, but he is not a crazy person, and he will never do this.

Huo Xuan said: "What the Lord of the Duzhen Hall said is true, whether it is Mu Zhenren who took the initiative to cover it up, or what the rest of the reasons are, you can only know by going over and seeing." ”

The three of them all got up and flew in the direction where the Mushou Mountain Qi Machine disappeared, but in order to prevent accidents, they all converged their own spiritual opportunities and did not shock the land and mountains.

After a few hours, they came to a halt at a place where the mountains were broken and the ravines were criss-crossed, and they looked so straight that it seemed as if someone had forcibly cut them out of the mountains by brute force.

Lu Junyang grabbed a breath and said, "Mu Zhenren must have been here. ”

Huo Xuan said in a deep voice: "If he deliberately avoided us and didn't leave this wisp of qi, it would indeed be an accident." ”

Zhang Yan looked at it for a while, and suddenly found that there was something strange in the ravine on the ground, his eyes flashed, and he calculated for a moment, and said: "If I am not wrong, this place has been divided into a forbidden formation, and I think that Mu Zhenren has entered it." ”

Huo Xuan was taken aback, looked ahead, and asked, "The spirit here is weak, so it is to set up a formation." How have you maintained it over the past many years?"

Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The treasure of the outer world can collect spiritual intelligence from here, so if someone controls it, it is not incapable of pouring back here." ”

Huo Xuan looked down, and his expression gradually became solemn. Said: "If this is the case, the only one who deserves to be guarded is so great, and there is only the sun-swallowing locust." ”

Zhang Yan said with a negative hand: "Yes or no, you will know when you go inside, I will go through the formation slightly, go inside first to check, and wait here first." ”

Huo Xuan knew that he had the Northern Immortal Sword in his body, even if he encountered a demon insect alone, he could also match it. Then he said: "The master of the Duzhen Hall must be careful. ”

Zhang Yan bowed his head slightly, he took a step in, his body shook, and he disappeared from the two of them inexplicably.

At the same moment, Huo Xuan noticed that his qi was also gone, and frowned: "It seems that the strange thing is really from this forbidden formation." ”

Lu Junyang didn't speak, just stood quietly.

After Zhang Yan entered the formation, he also found that the Manifestation Bead could not sense the location of other people immediately. When it was affected by the force of the formation, it was good to observe it. It was found that this was just a maze, and because there was no one to preside over the operation, there was no threat to him. So he went inside along the direction of the formation, and after about an hour, he had already circled the great array, because there was no trace of Mu Shou Mountain. Then he ran straight to the place where the center was.

Not long after, he came to a half-collapsed mountain cliff, which was full of insect remains, corpses and valleys, and traces of fierce fighting could be seen everywhere.

And after the altar. But there is a big earth pit, this hole pit is bottomless, there is a dead silence inside, a qi machine, Mu Shoushan should have been here, and only entered it not long ago.

Out of caution, he did not immediately chase down, but flicked his fingers and sent a sword light into it, but when he was young, he smiled slightly, turned into light and fled down, and after going more than ten miles, he came to a cave that was obviously opened up by mana. Mu Shoushan was standing in front of him, and he said, "The Lord of the Duzhen Hall is here." ”

Zhang Yan saw that he was leisurely and lazy, and said with a smile: "Mu Zhenren asked me to wait to find it." ”

Mu Shoushan said: "This is not my intention, I just saw the strangeness here, I suspect that this place may be the hiding place of the demon worm, I wanted to inform the three, but I just wanted to avoid it, I didn't want to fall in, Mu Mou is only half-incomprehensible, after a few turns, I got here, but since I came, I was safe, I wanted to see what secrets were here,"

Zhang Yan said: "Did the real person see anything?"

Mu Shoushan stepped aside and said, "The master of the Duzhen Hall might as well come and take a look in person." ”

Zhang Yan looked forward and saw that at the end of this place, there was a Dharma altar, and there were many shrines placed above, each of which was a zhang high, and a jade curtain was hung in front of it, and in front of the altar seat was a tall stone tablet, which was engraved with dense words.

He swept his eyes, and his expression moved slightly, and said, "It turns out that this is the place where the ancestors of our predecessors buried their bones. ”

Mu Shoushan sighed: "According to the description on the stele, although the battle with the Swallowing Sun Blue Locust was a heavy blow, there were also many cultivators who died in the battle, and their bones were all here. ”

Zhang Yan stared at the stone tablet for a moment, but found that this tablet was actually made by the Huiguang stone. He thought about it for a moment, stepped forward, pressed his hand on it, and in an instant, countless figures flashed in front of him.

After a long time, he let go, took a few steps back, and said with emotion: "I was puzzled, since the sages have time to bury their fellow Daoists, why don't they take away the bones of their corpses, it turns out that the truth is like this, although I didn't think of it before, but after thinking about it, all kinds of weirdness here makes sense." ”

Mu Shoushan never thought that this was a stone of reflection, hearing what he said, he was also curious, stepped forward and pressed his hand, after a slight trance, he also stood silent for a long time, let out a long sigh, and said: "I see." ”

It turned out that the boundary they saw was not opened up, but someone had a great mana and directly moved in the place where the two sides were fighting.

The boundary here is called Hexizhou Continent, which is the largest island continent on the West Sea, but the mountains and rocks are all solid, so that not an inch of grass grows, only there are some strange trees without branches, and the sound of crying all the year round is made, it is the place where a certain faction in Xizhou is imprisoned and waiting for criminals, so it is called a 'evil' word.

More than 10,000 years ago, in that battle, the cultivators planned to bring the Sun-Swallowing Locust here, and after a battle, although it was a heavy blow, it still underestimated the ability of this demon.

Seeing that it was about to fail, a powerful monk called Huaqin Continent was advised by Yao Zhenrenhan, the patriarch of the Yuxiao Kai Sect, to send a magic weapon in the middle of the sect and move the entire island continent into it with great mana.

At the same time, he ruthlessly sealed the way out, cut off the spiritual opportunity, and according to the prior agreement, suppressed it into the sea eye with the heavy water of Hanyuan.

But in this way, although the Sun-swallowing locust was trapped, many of the monks who were still fighting on the continent did not escape, and a few of them were friends of Huaqin Continent.

He also felt guilty about this matter, so he never left, after sitting here for more than a thousand years, he felt that his life was short, and he was able to enter here, only to realize that his former colleagues were dead, not only did the bones be devoured by insects, but even the soul could not be saved.

He packed up the relics of the cultivators, and built a magic altar here to comfort the ancestors, after worshipping, he arranged a maze in addition, and then turned around to slaughter the children and grandchildren of the Sun-Swallowing Locust, and then fought with a sword to invite the Sun-Swallowing Locust that had been slightly restored, and finally nailed it to the highest cliff in the sky here with seven "Ronghua Baoyang nails".

It's just that he himself is also running out of oil and the lamp is dry, and he can't help the demon insect anymore, so he uses a sword light as a sustenance, and imprints this matter into the tablet in front of the altar, hoping that the later people can completely eradicate this demon.

Mu Shoushan sighed: "Huaqinzhou Huazhen was one of the three major cultivators in Xizhou back then, and Xuanhui Palace was in charge, if he hadn't disappeared, it would be difficult to say the situation in Donghua later, it turned out that he died here." ”

Zhang Yan nodded, after pacifying the four continents, the factions came down to divide the territory, this Huazhen person has been here for more than a thousand years, obviously missed such a time, although Xuanhui Palace has occupied a place in the East Huazhou by virtue of the previous foundation and the achievements of the sages in the door, but in the end it still declined.

He thought to himself: "This can also explain why the monk's words are unknown, although the demon insect was suppressed in the end, but he also sealed a group of fellow Taoists here, this is a disgraceful thing after all, I am afraid that he is ashamed to put pen to paper." ”

Mu Shoushan said: "I don't want to have thirteen people who have managed to keep their own magical powers, since I have arrived here, after the matter, I might as well find a successor for them." ”

Zhang Yan agreed: "The ancestors overcame all obstacles to get the future generations to enjoy peace, these sages should not have ended up like this, and they had the opportunity to fulfill this wish for them." ”

As for the two of them, they are disciples of the Mingcang faction, and they have their own Taoist heritage, so they don't have to covet these.
