Ma Yuan's death did not attract the attention of the upper echelons, although he was young, he was only blamed for making too many enemies, even if I didn't kill him to take revenge, someone else would do something to him.

A person who was originally arrogant and suddenly lost any power and was seriously injured, how could his enemies allow him to live, this is the rule of the Daomen world.

The survival of the fittest has always been the law of survival in nature.

In the days that followed, in addition to meditating and practicing every day, I played chess against Li Lao, who was guarding the Outer Gate Zangjing Pavilion.

Because I learned to play chess with the old lady when I was a child, the old lady may not be able to play me, so Li Lao often loses in my hands, which makes him suddenly have a little fun all day long, and from time to time he will take the initiative to play chess with me, and sometimes I ask him some things about cultivation, and he knows everything.

During this time, my cultivation has finally slowed down, and it has not grown as fast as before.

I asked about the relationship between Elder Li and Elder Jin, and Elder Li heard my dissatisfaction with Elder Jin from the chat, and he said that the world is in crisis step by step, and sometimes an inconspicuous character will play a role in success or failure, let me be careful, and if I can, I won't be offended. He actually told me that he didn't have a good relationship with Elder Jin.

However, Li Lao told me one day with a serious expression that now my appearance is getting younger and younger, compared to when I first entered the sect, it looks like the gap between father and son, and after I went back, I looked in the mirror and realized that my current appearance is indeed too young, and I look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

A few days later, I applied to enter the inner gate, and there was only one condition for entering the inner gate from the outer gate, which was to enter the foundation building realm, but the cultivator entered the foundation building stage realm from the purple qi eastward realm, and if he didn't take the foundation building pill, it would be difficult to forcibly break through the bottleneck on his own, which was generally difficult.

Originally, because of the matter of the medicine collection conference, the outer gate lost 3,000 disciples, the top ten were all wiped out, and the top 100 died There are not a few left, and the inner and outer doors all think that no one will enter the inner gate in a short time, and my application this time, the person who holds the lift is Li Lao.

If it weren't for Li Lao Baoju, as long as the people in the inner gate investigated my experience, they would find something strange about me, in just a few months, from a laborer who couldn't enter the outer door to become an inner disciple, if it wasn't for the treasures that went against the sky, I wouldn't believe it when I said it.

It was also at noon on the day I applied to enter the inner gate that a group of people broke into the Qingyun faction.

The sky above Qingyun Mountain sounded the earth-shattering sound of the Qingshan Bell, all the people gathered, when I rushed from the outer gate to the inner door, I suddenly heard this urgent bell, I heard that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, a large number of Qingyun disciples rushed to the outer gate under the mountain, and I had to follow everyone to the direction of the outer gate hall square.

But I saw from a distance that the person at the head was Situ Nan, the elder of the Divine Snake Sect, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and he was followed by a large number of people, and some of those people were carrying a red sedan chair.

You can see the scene outside from the steward's room, after the head of the Qingyun sect and many high-level sects arrived, the head of the Qingyun sect looked at Situ Nan and asked, "It turned out to be Elder Situ of the Divine Snake Sect, I haven't seen you for many years, what wind blew you here?" ”

Situ Nan laughed and said: "Master Yun doesn't have to be nervous, the old man came to Qingyun Mountain this time on the order of the sect leader to find someone, it is really an honor for the old man to see such a big battle of your faction to welcome me and others, and it just saves me the fatigue of looking for them one by one." ”

"Oh?" The head of the Qingyun Sect raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know who will have such a big face and let the people of the Divine Snake Sect come out to look for it?" ”

Situ Nan said: "Zhang Scissors." ”

Situ Nan said that he unfolded the portrait of Zhang Jianzi to everyone, Situ Nan said: "We chased Zhang Jianzi for a few months, from the Central Plains to Liangguang, and from Liangguang to Kunlun, and finally from Kunlun to the 100,000 mountains of Qinling. ”

The head of the Qingyun Sect frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of person this Zhang Scissors is, who can make the Divine Snake Sect, one of the five supreme sects, so prosperous?" ”

Situ Nan said: "Don't hide it from the head of the cloud that this Zhang Jianzi is the person who stole the "Wu Tao Te Ching" from the treasure cave at the southern foot of Kunlun ten years after the world's great factions converged in Kunlun Yaochi. ”

Twenty years ago, because of the book of life and death, many sects gathered in Kunlun Yaochi, killed all the disciples of Yaochi, except for the old female supreme and the saint of Yaochi, everyone was killed, they found a treasure map in the forbidden place of Yaochi, according to this treasure map, the sects found a village hidden in the southern foot of Kunlun Mountain.

That village has guarded a cave for generations, this cave is the destination shown on the treasure map, the people of the village stopped the cultivators of many sects, all of them are proficient in Dao arts, and they have no knowledge, but when they encounter many sects in the Dao world, it only takes a moment, and the entire village is slaughtered.

Everyone found a powerful ban in the cave, the prohibition can not be forcibly broken by external force, even the Daomen Dazun has no way, they dug through the surrounding mountains, and finally dug out a huge green cow stone statue, and the stone statue, impressively engraved Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".

Most people have heard the story of Lao Tzu riding a bull westward out of the customs, it is rumored that he finally found a secret place, and did not come out again after entering, and people thought of a legend that has been circulated since ancient times, that is, when Lao Tzu Li Er, the ancestor of Taoism, wrote the Tao Te Ching, he created a unique study that shocked the Daomen, called "Wu Tao Te Ching".

However, no matter where they came from, no one was able to dig through the cave, until ten years later, the disciples who had been sent to guard the cave found a villager coming out of the cave one morning.

The disciple called the guards of the cave from all factions and went to the cave together, and found a burrow and some ancient Taoist magic weapons in the cave, and on the wall of the burrow was written a line of ancient characters that were still there, and the martial arts and ethics scriptures were here, and the future generations were destined to get it.

Everyone knew that what was stolen was really the "Wu Tao Te Ching", the treasure map of Kunlun Yao Chi, and the handwriting on the wall that had been left with the existence of Dao Yun for thousands of years all showed that the "Wu Tao Te Ching" was real.

Zhang Jianzi went through hardships, was chased and killed by people from various factions, and finally escaped, and buried his name invisibly for ten years, the leader of the Divine Snake Sect planted a spirit on him on the way to chase and kill him, as long as he used Dao Qi, the spirit on his body moved, he would be discovered by the leader of the Divine Snake Sect for the first time, and used the sect to find the whereabouts of Zhang Jianzi on the Treasure Heaven Machine Wall.

For several months, Zhang Jianzi has been on the run, he is a mountain and wild village man, his qualifications are dull, and he has the mastery of martial arts and morality and cannot understand the mystery, the people of the Divine Snake Sect poured out, and all the masters in the door chased and killed him, and finally caused him to flee to the 100,000 mountains of the Qinling Mountains.

And Situ Nan has the skill of tracing the paper crane, and he can track the whereabouts of Zhang Scissors for thousands of miles.

"It turned out to be the person who stole the Wu Tao Te Ching ten years ago." The head of the Qingyun faction said. "Elder Situ, I really don't know his whereabouts about this Zhang Jianzi, the bell rings in Qingshan, and all the disciples are here, why don't Elder Situ take someone to the mountain to search for it?"

"That's the best." Situ Nan said.

Situ Nan's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in the Qingyun Sect, the words of the head of the Qingyun Sect were obviously just polite words, a huge sect was searched by people from other sects, this was a great insult, the Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect immediately said angrily: "Elder Situ is really polite, and he completely regards my Qingyun Sect as his own home." ”

Situ Nan said: "If the Qingyun Sect intends to become a branch of the Divine Snake Sect, it is not impossible to become a family. ”

"Bold!" The people at the inner gate drew their swords one after another.

Situ Nan's face was slightly angry, and he said: "The Qingyun Sect is really majestic, relying on how many people deceive me, no one in the Divine Snake Sect?" ”

The head of the Qingyun Sect stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, he looked at Situ Nan and said: "Elder Situ, my Qingyun Sect will not be subordinate to any sect, and at the same time, I did not harbor the Zhang Scissors you are looking for, I heard that Elder Situ has the technique of tracing the paper crane, since you can chase him here, why not use the magic and let the paper crane directly find where he is hiding?" ”

Situ Nan said: "The technique of tracing the paper crane can only confirm that he is nearby, Zhang Scissors' skills are no worse than mine, and the specific location cannot be found." ”

"In that case, then I am powerless." The head of the Qingyun faction said.

Situ Nan snorted and said: "Since the Qingyun Sect is unwilling to hand over people, then my Divine Snake Sect will remember this account first, and there is another thing I have to mention, my Divine Snake Sect Master's youngest son Nangong Xie was killed a few days ago, and the soul card was broken, he is practicing in your Qingyun Sect, I don't know if the Cloud Sect can have an explanation?" ”

"Nangong Evil?" The head of the Qingyun Sect looked at Elder Jin who was standing on the side with a surprised expression.

Elder Jin replied respectfully: "Back to the master, Nangong Xie is a young man ranked ninth in the outer gate, and the inner gate that he entered two years ago was killed by someone at the medicine collection conference last month. ”

The head of the Qingyun Sect said: "Elder Situ, you also heard, the disciples of the outer gate, you don't say hello, as the head of the sect, I can't look at everyone, at the end of last month, my Qingyun sect disciples of the outer sect went out of the mountains to collect medicine, and in the hinterland of the medicine valley, three thousand disciples were lost, of which the top ten people in the outer gate were all wiped out, and I heard that they were killed by a dragon locked in the volcano, and the controller behind the dragon was the murderer who killed the young sect leader of the Divine Snake Sect!" ”

When Situ Nan heard the head of the Qingyun Sect say this, the sweat on his face suddenly fell, and he said: "Actually, Nangong Evil is just a child born to the sect leader and the previous concubine, it is insignificant, I just asked." ”

The head of the Qingyun Sect nodded and said, "That's fine, otherwise I will kill the young sect leader of the Divine Snake Sect, and I can't afford this crime." However, the leader of your sect is nearly ninety years old, and he still has such a young son, even if he was seventy years old twenty years ago, he is really not old. ”

Situ Nan's face was embarrassed, and he said, "Since the words are open, then I'll be fine, say goodbye." ”

Situ Nan said that he was about to take his men out of the mountain, but at this time, a woman's voice came from all directions.

"Come as you say, leave as you say, you really think the Qingyun Sect is your home!"

Situ Nan frowned, he didn't hear where the voice came from, he looked at the head of the Qingyun faction and asked, "Dare to ask the head of the Yun, who is the person who spoke?" ”

"It's me." An indifferent voice came, Situ Nan turned around, and saw a woman with a beautiful face but extremely cold standing behind him.

"Yunxi!" The head of the Qingyun faction shouted.

Yun Xi ignored it, looked at Situ Nan coldly and said, "You are the elder of the Divine Snake Sect?" ”

"Yes, the old man is the ...... of the snake"

Situ Nan's words were only halfway through his words, and he was slapped away by Yun Xi, Yun Xi's palm swayed, and it seemed to be a light palm, but it made a muffled sound, and Situ Nan's chest immediately sunken down, but fortunately, he protected his heart in time, and there was no power of life.

The disciples of the Divine Snake Sect drew their swords one after another, Yun Xi snorted, and a round pendant on the earring suddenly slipped down, and the head of the Qingyun Sect saw this, and hurriedly said, "Yun Xi stop!" ”

In an instant, dozens of disciples of the Divine Snake Sect all fell to the ground, and an extremely sharp circular ring shuttled back and forth, reaping the lives of all the disciples of the Divine Snake Sect.

Such a means to shock the audience!

"Respectfully ask the Sect Master Dao Body to come down and punish the Qingyun Sect!"

Situ Nan roared, he had a seal on his hand, and he recited a spell in his mouth, the upper echelons of the Qingyun Sect showed a look of horror, the leader of the Divine Snake Sect was a notoriously ruthless person, and no one in the entire Qingyun Mountain was his opponent.

Yun Xi looked at Situ Nan expressionlessly, she casually dropped a crumpled ball of white paper and said, "Your sect leader." ”

Situ Nan was stunned, looking at the crumpled ball of white paper at his feet, this white paper was made by a special Taoist technique, specially used to respectfully ask the master to descend to deal with special situations, out of respect, so he used a sedan chair to carry the paper man, but he didn't expect the paper man to be crumpled into a ball of waste paper by Yun Xi.

Yun Xi stretched out his hand and grabbed the red sedan chair behind him, the sedan chair flew towards Yun Xi out of thin air, Yun Xi held the lifting rod of the sedan chair, and slammed it on the top of Situ Nan's head, completely covering Situ Nan in the sedan chair.

Yun Xi snorted, ignored anyone's gaze, and walked in the direction of the inner door.

"Dare to spread wild under the nose of this seat, you really don't know whether you live or die, if you think that the Qingyun faction is so easy to bully as the cloud master in your mouth, you are wrong, and then let this seat see you in the Qingyun faction, it will definitely take your dog's life."

"There is also the head of Yunda, the three thousand outer disciples are lost in the hands of the Divine Snake Sect, you don't even dare to ask, if you are afraid to do things, you should not be the head of this sect, so as not to embarrass the master."

Yun Xi's words made the face of the head of the Qingyun Sect extremely ugly, the master of the sect was scolded by a woman like this, but he did not refute it, let alone blame Yun Xi.

Who is this young woman?

The most important thing is that she is so young and her skills are so high, even Situ Nan, who has been famous for many years in the Divine Snake Sect, is vulnerable in front of her and has no power to fight back.

The Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect sighed and said, "This girl is really getting more and more unreasonable!" ”

The head of the Qingyun faction didn't say anything, but lifted the sedan chair covering Situ Nan, and Situ Nan sat on the ground with his head scattered, completely stunned.

The head of the Qingyun faction looked at Elder Jin, Elder Jin understood, stepped forward to help Situ Nan, and said: "Elder Situ is frightened, in fact, the Qingyun faction has no intention of going against the Divine Snake Sect, just now that temper is a little rushed, don't go to your heart, my Qingyun Sect's outer gate lost three thousand disciples, and some people saw that it was the leader of your sect who did it, and the one named Nangong Xie was probably killed by his own father, do you say this is a coincidence?" ”

Situ Nan didn't speak, and walked out of everyone's sight with the support of Elder Jin, and walked towards the bottom of Qingyun Mountain.

In front of the main hall, an old female Taoist said: "Senior brother in charge, Yun Xi has already started, whether this Situ Nan should be killed, lest the tiger return to the mountain." ”

The head of the Qingyun Sect said: "Now my Qingyun Sect is not suitable to declare war with the Divine Snake Sect, Situ Nan's position in the Divine Snake Sect is very important, if he kills rashly, it is likely to cause a war between the two sects, my Qingyun Sect can't afford it for the time being, I will personally visit a few ally sects in the next few days to prepare for the war." ”

The Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect said, "The head of the sect thinks that Situ Nan really came here this time to find the person named Zhang Jianzi?" ”

The head of the Qingyun faction said: "Zhang Jianzi is carrying the "Wu Tao Te Ching", no matter where he goes, he will be hunted down, he is a dangerous person, if he finds it, don't have a conflict, let alone leak the news, otherwise the Qingyun faction is also in danger, Wu Dao Dao Jing is something that the five major respects all want to get, comparable to the book of life and death back then." ”

"Yes, sir." The elders answered.

The Great Elder said: "Master, if the old man personally goes to the Central Plains and unites many sects to discuss the issue of the comeback of the Divine Snake Sect, the revenge of the three thousand disciples cannot be avenged." ”

"No, I'll go over in person, the sect's affairs will be with you, Senior Brother Lao, I will go to the Central Plains this time to find someone, if he is willing to help, the Qingyun faction will not be safe."

"The head is saying, the god Yang Sanqian?" The Great Elder asked.

The head of the Qingyun Sect nodded and said: "Back then, many sects crusaded against the Yaochi Holy Land, although my Qingyun Sect also went, but the master was forced by the general trend of helplessness, and ordered everyone not to do it, I had a relationship with the couple when I was young, and he also hated the people of the Divine Snake Sect, and he always suspected that the person who poisoned and killed his son was the person of the Divine Snake Sect. ”

"Then I'll also go to Xishu Emei Mountain." The old female Taoist priest said.

The head of the Qingyun Sect nodded, and after that, I didn't listen to what they said, and retreated from the elder's steward's room and returned to his residence.

In the next few days, nothing major happened to the Qingyun faction, and after the tense atmosphere of combat readiness passed, I went to the inner gate again to apply for the entry qualification.

The outer gate entered the inner gate to pass through Elder Jin, but Elder Li knew my attitude towards Elder Jin, so he gave me his token and wrote a letter of recommendation for me.

After checking my cultivation and confirming that I was a disciple of the Foundation Building Realm, the inner gate steward registered me and arranged a place to live.
