Shui Yue and the others returned to Tianjian Mountain, met Shaoyangzi, and told the matter of Wanshou Mountain, Shaoyangzi listened, and said: "The catastrophe is coming, and the demons are ready to move, it is not surprising, it is common sense. I intend to ask you to wait for three years of retreat, and as long as you concentrate on cultivation during these three years, you will naturally not be afraid of the evil path as a disaster. With that, he took out two swords.

The first sword was white and clear, and the qi was like frost, Shaoyangzi handed it into the hands of Shui Yue, and said: "This sword is called 'Frost and Snow Ming', and it is practiced to the extreme. Shui Yue listened and thanked him.

The second sword is green and sensen, shaped like glass, Shaoyangzi handed it into Liu Yun's hands, and said: "This sword is called 'Biyue Shame', practiced to the extreme, the qi is like a gossamer, it can break ten thousand laws, and divide yin and yang." Liu Yun took the sword, was very pleased, and hurriedly thanked him.

Shaoyangzi said to Yang Su again: "This cultivation pill is refined by Li Wusheng's Daoist brother, and now it is a great opportunity to give it to you, but your cultivation is still shallow, and it is difficult to refine it completely." Now that you have taken this elixir, I will give you a true element, and you will immediately retreat and cultivate for three years before you can succeed. After Yang Su listened, he ate the cultivation pill, only to feel the breath in his body surging, dizzy and difficult to control himself, Shaoyangzi entered a true yuan from his Baihui acupoint, as a guide, Yang Su suddenly felt the gods, thanked the master, and went to retreat.

Bai Jiao saw that everyone else had obtained treasures, but he was empty-handed, and he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "You old man is really partial, although I am not your apprentice, but I am also a guest on Tianjian Mountain, and now I am following your apprentices to birth and death, there is no merit and hard work, why don't you give me a magic weapon or something as a reward." ”

Shaoyangzi smiled: "You are not my kind, you have your own fate, it's just that the time has not yet come." Bai Jiao said angrily: "You can't explain it plainly, I have lived for nearly a thousand years, although my cultivation is not high, but I have a lot of knowledge, don't try to prevaricate me." ”

Shaoyangzi smiled and said nothing, Liu Yun hurriedly pulled Bai Jiao away, told him to go to cultivation by himself, and found a cave with abundant spiritual energy and began to retreat.

Shui Yue never saw Pei Yuan on the mountain, and was a little puzzled, so he asked: "Why didn't you see the senior brother on the mountain?" Shaoyangzi said: "Soon after he returned to the mountain, he came to bid me farewell, saying that he was going down the mountain to practice, and he asked for the truth, and I couldn't keep him, so he went." After hearing this, Shui Yue felt a little uneasy in her heart, but it was difficult to explain, so she went into retreat.

The sun and the moon are like shuttles, the stars are moving, on this day, the fire and water wind in the Qingling Mountains in the southeast direction have changed, and a wisp of Yuan Shen has gotten rid of the shackles and fled away. This primordial god went all the way to the northwest, fluttering, climbing up the mountain of ten thousand people, between the clouds and water, came to the Tianjian Mountain, entered the Shaoyang Cave, saw the Shaoyangzi, and quickly dissipated. Shaoyangzi pinched his fingers, his heart was not good, and something big happened.

Yang Su retreated for three years, absorbing all the aura of cultivating as a pill, he held the way of heaven in his hand, and the colorful light spot containing the power of Yaoguang Immortal on the heavy sword was even more brilliant and profound, pinching the sword trick, and using the Tiangang Zhengyang Sword, the sword qi carried the power of thunder, as if it was going to split the mountains and rivers.

He breathed and collected his sword, and there was a little more heroism between his eyebrows, and he went out of the cave to meet Shaoyangzi, who commanded: "The day before yesterday, Wuxuan Zhenren turned into a wisp of Yuan Shen to see me, and I expected that something big would happen to Qingling Mountain." Shui Yue and Liu Yun are also out of the customs recently, and the three of you will go to see it together. Yang Su bowed his head and said, "Disciple understands." ”

A few days later, Shui Yue and Liu Yun came out of the customs one after another, and Yang Su told the two of them the master's instructions, and Shui Yue said: "Since the master let us go down the mountain, I just asked those demons to try the sword edge." Liu Yun said with a smile: "After three years of retreat, we have all made great progress, I don't know how Bai Jiao is, I will go to him and go down the mountain together." ”

Liu Yun came to the waterhole where Bai Jiao cultivated, shouted three times, but did not respond, but saw a line of words engraved on the stone wall, which was "The dragon is hidden in the abyss, its ambition is difficult to open, or it jumps in the wild, the heaven and the earth are yellow", Liu Yun looked at these words, and said with a dark smile: "Obviously it's just Jiao, but I think I'm a dragon, I don't know what stimulated me." ”

Yang Su saw that Bai Jiao did not come, so he asked about the situation, Liu Yun said the inscription on the stone wall, the three of them were speechless, the sword over the mountains and mountains, I don't know how many big rivers have been crossed, how many cities, only to see the front of Qingling Mountain within a radius of five hundred miles of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, stars fall into the abyss, mountains and rivers are translocated, everything is not long, life is difficult to rest, a lonely scene.

Seeing this vision, Shui Yue's expression changed greatly, and said: "Someone has used great mana to re-establish the earth, fire, water and wind here, which is very dangerous, let's not act rashly, let's find a safe place to find out the news first, and then plan later." Liu Yun agreed, and the three of them got off the flying sword.

They wandered all the way, and saw that although this place was far away from Qingling Mountain, it was also a little dilapidated, and it was obviously affected, and after walking for a while, they saw a newly built thatched hut in front of them, and an old farmer was sitting at the door. Shui Yue went up and asked: "Why is the scene of Qingling Mountain so terrifying?" The old farmer sighed and said: "You came from afar, I don't know the situation, ten days ago, there was a sudden earthquake in Qingling Mountain, I have lived all my life, I have never seen such a scary earthquake, all the earthquakes within a radius of 500 miles were broken, not to mention people, animals did not run out alive, we were also affected here, and many people died." The old farmer pointed to a pile of ruins in front of him, wiped away his tears, and said, "My old house was destroyed by the earthquake, and the disaster came so suddenly that it took my only son away, and I survived." ”

Yang Su asked, "It's so dangerous here, why don't you move away?" The old peasant sighed: "Where can you go in this world?" Since six years ago, the barbarians from the north broke through Yunzhong City and went all the way south, burning, killing and looting, and it is difficult to have a place to live in this world. The old peasant's tone was frustrated, and he whimpered and said: "Half a year ago, the barbarians captured Lizhou City and kidnapped my wife and daughter. ”

Yang Su was also a little uncomfortable suddenly, he remembered the past six years ago, what happened to the old blacksmith who said that he would wait for him in Canghai City?

Shui Yue asked, "Why are those people gone again?"

The old farmer wiped away his tears, was a little happy, and said: "Zhang Tianwang is here, he has great powers, has three heads and six arms, can call the wind and rain, with the remnants of Lizhou City, defeated the barbarians, recaptured the city, it is said that there was a fight at that time, but unfortunately I didn't see it with my own eyes at the time." I have nothing to worry about now, and in a few days I will also go to Zhang Tianwang's banner to do an errand. ”

After listening to this, the three of them thanked the old farmer, and traveled more than ten miles to the east, and sure enough, they saw a city, with a deep ditch and a high base, and the wall was full of banners, which was Lizhou City. The city of Lizhou is orderly, and the people are rich in Wuwubu, although it is not as good as Yunzhong in its heyday, but it can still be so prosperous after the war, which also amazes Yang Su.

They walked through the streets and alleys, and inquired when they saw people, and the statements of the people in the city were basically the same as those of the old farmers in the suburbs, but since the earthquake in Qingling Mountain, there have been more strange things. The three of them walked around the city for a while, and a lively-looking child jumped up in front of them and said loudly, "The Heavenly King of my family invited the Taoist friends of Tianjian Mountain to come to the mansion to speak. ”

They followed the child, came to the palace of the king, said that it was the mansion, in fact, it was just a larger house, very simple, there was a courtyard in the house, there was a pond in the courtyard, the pond was covered with green lotus leaves, purple lotus dotted among them, a deep middle-aged man, was leaning on the railing, watching the scenery of the lotus pond.

The middle-aged man saw the three of them, smiled heartily, and bowed: "The younger brother Zhang Ziyi is a disciple of the White Crane Zhenren of Wangwu Mountain, because the immortal path is difficult to achieve, he was sent down the mountain by the master to do some red dust things, and he has seen the senior brother and sister. Liu Yun smiled and said: "You are Zhang Tianwang, why don't you have three heads and six arms?" Zhang Ziyi said: "It's just a lie, why should senior sister take it seriously." ”

A few people chatted for a while, and then asked about the matter of Qingling Mountain, Zhang Ziyi's face was worried, and he sighed: "Master Shaoyangzi sent the three of you down the mountain, presumably they are all advanced cultivators, this matter is very important, and it is a dispute between good and demon, my Taoism is low, it is difficult to help, and I have to discuss with Senior Brother Qin Yao." ”

Shui Yue said: "Senior Brother Qin Yao is the best here, why don't you call him to see him?" Zhang Ziyi said: "He goes out of the city every day to investigate the situation, and he is estimated to be back soon." While speaking, a person came with the sword and landed in the courtyard, it was Qin Yao.

Qin Yao saw Shui Yue and the others, and cried: "My master has no choice to be martyred. Shui Yue said: "Senior brother, don't be sad, and speak slowly." Qin Yao told everyone what happened.

It turned out that ten days ago, the demon Leng Qi led the demons to break the barrier of Qingling Mountain and go up the mountain to compete for the fairy sword Kaiyang. Wu Zhi Zhenren was seriously injured by Leng Qi's magic knife slashing god, and in desperation, he activated the fairy sword, how can this fairy sword be a mortal thing? Once it lifted the seal, the sky collapsed, and the demons were killed and injured countless times, and the demon Leng Qi was also severely injured and escaped from Qingling Mountain, but my master never came out again.

After Qin Yao finished speaking, he burst into tears again.

Shui Yue comforted: "Why should Senior Brother Qin be so pessimistic, Uncle Wuxuan is a master who has ascended to the Dao, and he can control the immortal sword, but he may not have been martyred. Yang Su thought for a while, and also said: "Back then, Uncle Wuweizi also ascended under the fairy sword, it can be seen that the fairy sword is unsealed, although the earth, fire, water and wind are reconstructed, it may not kill all living beings, and Uncle Wuwei stayed on Qingling Mountain, maybe there are other considerations." ”

Qin Yao felt a little relieved after hearing this, and said: "If this is the case, it's fine, but there are more important things in front of me, these days, I go to find out the whereabouts of the demons every day, and I want to wait for the opportunity to kill the demons, but I don't have the opportunity, but I accidentally learned that the demons agreed to occupy Lizhou City as a stronghold." ”
