In a small house deep in the hall, Zhou Tianshen and Yu Xiao both stood in front of a wall depicted with a huge mural in the middle of which was a huge Buddha statue with an old man kneeling on either side of the statue.

The murals run along the walls of the room, each with a Buddha statue, but the people who kneel are different, and the other three walls are a child who learns, a doctor who heals the sick and saves people, and a woman dressed in red and willow green.

Zhou Tianshen looked at the four walls along the root of the wall, and when he returned to Yu Xiaodu's side, the whole person was already stunned.

Yu Xiaodu patted him on the back and said, "This place is not reserved for you, you don't eat too much of the spirit in it, you will die." ”

After the squinting young man woke up like this, Zhou Tianshen's senses could be regarded as returning to the real world, and at this time, he only felt the swelling pain in the dantian, as if it was stuffed with something.

The squinting young man took out a burgundy flask from his sleeve, this was the first time he had taken out a flask of this color, and he had explained that the flask in his house was divided into four colors, cyan, purple, gold, and burgundy.

Each color represents a different person to drink.

Xiaodu asked, "Which wall do you think is better?"

Zhou Tianshen didn't understand what he meant, so he pointed to the wall in front of him.

I saw that Yu Xiaodu pulled the cork of the flask and poured the sake inside on the ground in front of him, the wine was seeped into the wall, and the wall where the kneeling old man began to glow red, and when the red light dissipated, the wall disappeared, leaving only a black hole.

Yu Xiaodu explained, "This is called buying road wine, and it is specially for the dead to drink. ”

Zhou Tianshen noticed the sight coming from all around, turned his head to look, it turned out that the Buddha statues on the wall had already opened their eyes, and one by one they turned their heads to look at the two people standing in front of the entrance of the cave, he pulled the cuffs of Yu Xiaodu and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Yu Xiaodu smiled and said nothing, took a step, and the whole person entered the hole, Zhou Tianshen didn't dare to stay here alone, and when the two of them walked into the hole, the wall appeared again, and the Buddha statue on it showed a hint of drunkenness, and the old people who knelt down in front of him actually stood up.

Suddenly the two appeared in another room, where there were no murals on the walls, only a large tripod in the center, which had four mouths, each guarded by a pair of dry bones.

Dry bones were dressed in clean clothes, and in his hand he held a wooden stick with a purple-gold flame burning at the end of the stick, and the light of the fire illuminated the room.

Yu Xiaodu walked in front of Da Ding, this time he didn't ask Zhou Tianshen, but circled around Da Ding by himself, and finally said behind one of the dry bones, "I think only the two of us have a fate." ”

Then, he poured the wine on the dry bones, and the dry bones were full of purple-gold flames, and the flames were all sucked away by the big ding, leaving a handful of ashes on the dry bones, and the young and the young put away the ashes and sprinkled them on the big ding, and the big ding began to tremble, and finally fell down the stairs, leaving a downward hole.

The two of them walked into the cave again.

Dading and the dry bones were restored to their original state, and the dry bones actually grew some hair.

The third room is an armory, the walls are full of weapons, and they are all strangely shaped, among which there is a long sword that attracts Zhou Tianshen's attention, the sword is nearly two meters long, the sword body is engraved with ancient ciphertext, the entire sword body emits a cold breath, close to it, it seems that the sound of the cold wind can be heard.

Zhou Tianshen seemed to be attracted to him, and his eyes were dumbfounded and wanted to walk in front of it, but he was grabbed by Yu Xiaodu, laughter came from the sword, and an illusory shadow walked out of the sword body, holding the sword in his hand.

Shadow smiled, "Why, you can trust the two of them, but you can't trust me." ”

Yu Xiaodu sat cross-legged on the ground, took out dozens of burgundy wine jugs from his sleeves, and said, "I'll stay, let him go." ”

The shadow sat opposite Yu Xiaodu, put the long sword beside him, the sword body emitted a white cold air, rubbed his chin with his fingers, squinted and said, "That's it, there won't be too much time." ”

Yu Xiaodu had already taken the lead in opening the wine jug, took a sip lightly, and said, "I believe him." ”

The shadow snorted lightly and said to Zhou Tianshen, "Little guy, don't go quickly, when these drinks are finished, come out of the room." ”

As soon as the shadow spoke, one of the walls of the arsenal turned upside down, leaving a gap, Zhou Tianshen looked at Yu Xiaodu, and Yu Xiaodu nodded lightly, and he dared to go on the road.

The long sword gradually shrank to the size of the palm of his hand, and the shadow placed it in the jug, and said, "The person you chose is him, I don't think it's good." ”

Xiao Xiaodu propped his hands on the ground, looked at the wall above, and said, "I didn't choose him, I'm just responsible for protecting him for a while." ”

In the fourth room that Zhou Tianshen entered, there was nothing but a table, a bench, and an oil lamp lit on the table.

Zhou Tianshen walked to the table, the oil lamp suddenly flashed, and a book appeared on the table, he sat on the bench, gently opened the book, and the word 'Nanzhi' was written on the title page.

There were no words in the book, only a few simple pictures, and after reading them a few times, Zhou Tianshen learned the actions on the pictures and made them himself.

After I knew the action by heart, another book appeared on the table.

The book is called 'Looking North'.

In the same way, there are only pictures and no words in the book.

After Zhou Tianshen had studied, a third book appeared, called 'Dongzang'.

The fourth book is called 'The Western Harvest' and the fifth is called 'The Mean'.

It's just that time is limited, and he only learned the first four books, and then he was thrown out by a strange force.

When he came out of the room, he fell to the ground drunk, his shadow had disappeared, and a short dirt road appeared where they came, and he carried him along the dirt road, and after walking for a long time, he returned to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

The mountain keeper didn't look at him more.

On the fourth floor of the library pavilion, an old man sat on a bench, spreading out the five books that Zhou Tianshen had obtained in front of him, one of which was not opened, and behind him stood a Buddha statue, three people with dry bones and shadows.

The old man put away the four books that had been opened, put the one that had never been opened under his eyelids, and played with his fingers, but the books did not move at all, and after a long time, he exhaled a breath, and the whole person turned into a puff of green smoke and left the room.

When the old man appeared beside the mountain guard, Zhou Tianshen had already left Kunlun Mountain with Yu Xiaodu on his back.

He has known the mountain guards for many years, one guards the bronze tripod on Kunlun Mountain, and the other guards the library inside Kunlun Mountain, and there has never been a disagreement, but this time...

After Zhou Tianshen walked down the mountain with Yu Xiaodu on his back, he returned to the city, a brand-new carriage was parked at the gate of the city, and an old man was sitting on the carriage, the old man hurriedly called him to his side after seeing Zhou Tianshen, Zhou Tianshen looked at it, it turned out to be the national teacher, and asked, "National teacher, why are you here?"

The Black and White Immortal Master smiled and said, "I am ordered by the Lord of the Kingdom to wait for you here, and then send you home." ”

Zhou Tianshen and Yu Xiaodu got into the carriage together, and the black and white immortal master drove the carriage to the outside of the city, and the carriage went very fast, and it was out of Shuixiang County in less than half a day.

The rest of the road was much easier than when he came, and the black and white immortal master retreated first.

Zhou Tianshen drove the carriage alone, and when he walked to the teahouse in the Shuijin Market, he specially bought two cups of sobering tea for Yu Xiaodu to pour down, the girl surrounded by small insects stood under the carriage, holding the teapot in her arms, standing on tiptoe and looking into the carriage, Zhou Tianshen came out of it and returned the tea bowl, the girl asked, "How is he?"

Zhou Tianshen didn't know the relationship between Yu Xiaodu and the girl, so he said casually, "It's okay, I'm just drunk." ”

The girl put the teapot and tea bowl in her arms beside Zhou Tianshen and said, "I like this little stinky fart and hat he gave me, even if I invite you, goodbye." ”

The girl ran back to the teahouse and never came out.

Zhou Tianshen smiled and poured himself a bowl of tea, and after drinking too much wine, he wanted to taste something else.

The carriage walked along the route it came, passing through the three horse squares of Walking Dragon, crossing the river, and Wangwu, but because there were too many residents in the horse square, Zhou Tianshen did not bother the big steward.

When he arrived in Daoxiang County, Zhou Tianshen came to the inn again, asked for two first-class guest rooms, and after a night's rest, he went on the road early in the morning, and he hadn't woken up yet.

——————

A year later, the carriage slowly returned to Tianxiang County from Shuixiang County, and an accident occurred on the way.

Ever since he read those four books in the library of the National Palace, Zhou Tianshen felt that some indescribable changes had occurred in his body.

On this day, as soon as he evolved the movements in the four books, a long arrow shot from behind, the iron arrow passed through the carriage, straight to the back of Zhou Tianshen's head, and Zhou Tianshen did not have any extra movements, the iron arrow suddenly disappeared behind him, and when it appeared again, the iron arrow had been inserted in the chest of a red-clothed killer.

Look north, use spiritual power survey, resonate with other people's spiritual power fluctuations, and thus form a landscape map in your mind to find out the location of the enemy.

South solstice, after using the north view to find out the enemy's location, can teleport the attack in front of the enemy, and no other living creatures can be teleported except for the user.

Dongzang, using spiritual power to form an energy vortex around the body, with the north and south, can play the role of long-range sneak attack.

Xishui, before the enemy's attack arrives, condenses the spiritual power into layers of enchantments, and constantly exploits the strength of the attack.

The sudden death of the killer caused a commotion, iron arrows and darts were constantly shot from the trees, and even two large snakes twisted their bodies crawled on the ground, trying to sneak up on the enemy.

But all these things disappeared out of thin air behind Zhou Tianshen, and after they reappeared, they were deprived of their lives.

After a wave of ruthless fighting, there was no movement in the bushes, and Zhou Tianshen did not rush away, but sat on the roof of the car with a golden wine jug, drunk alone.

On the inexhaustible mountain, Meng Fan sat on the red horse, looking at the carriage and the drinking boy under the mountain, his eyes were vague, this action was his unauthorized move, the above had already explained, after the escort mission, he could not make another move, but he couldn't swallow this breath, not only him, but the rest of the people couldn't forgive themselves for being planted in the hands of a teenager.

Meng Fan said, "I repeat, they will not agree to this operation, so whether it succeeds or not, we will be punished by them, are you sure to kill him with me?"

You You's back was dripping with blood, and the failure of this operation directly led to the twin snake spirit root in her body being taken away and turned into two ordinary little snakes, and the twin snakes were born and raised with her, and they had already become one.

One is prosperous, one is lost, and the fall of the twin snakes directly caused her cultivation realm to be reduced from the Jizo realm to the human realm, and then she was removed from the four households, and the snake family was handed over to Fang Liu.

She bit her lip and said, "I have to kill him." ”

The old man is the husband and entourage of Zixia's old sister, and has been by her side since she was a child, since the last time she was cured of the stubborn disease in her body, she returned to Huaxiang County to live in seclusion, and she didn't know anything about this action.

The old man didn't know what he thought, he just wanted to witness the fate of the young man, and if he unfortunately died, he was willing to help him collect his body.

Chen Shun's reason is simpler, he can't let the gifted person survive in front of his eyes, and live better than him.

The three did not have any objections.

Meng Fan roared, took the lead in pulling out the short knife behind him, jumped down from the mountain, black gas lingered all over his body, a black spider netted Zhou Tianshen in place, unable to move, the short knife violently grazed the neck of the drinking boy, and rushed to the side.

Looking at Zhou Tianshen again, he had already put away the wine jug, and with a low roar, the axe blade and the sword cut off the spider's limbs, the spider web was self-defeating, the blue and yellow colors were blended, and a huge crescent blade condensed in the sky and rushed towards everyone on the mountain.

The old man threw out a calligraphy slip from his sleeve, on which was painted with cyan calligraphy and paintings, and in the air, the calligraphy turned into a cyan brick wall, blocking the impact of the crescent blade.

You You got up a small emerald green snake under his feet, the little snake was named Zhu Yeqing, You You commanded Zhu Yeqing to rush down the mountain, shouting, "It's too much to deceive people." ”

Chen Shun's figure flashed from the side and said softly, "I'll meet him." ”

At the foot of the mountain, Meng Fan has already fought with Zhou Tianshen, although there are four kinds of mastery, east, west, north and south, but Meng Fan is in the Tibetan realm, and his realm cultivation is much higher than Zhou Tianshen, so Zhou Tianshen is only barely tied with him.

The arrival of Chen Shun broke the deadlock.

The sword qi chased after Zhou Tianshen, constantly bombarding his side, and the shock waves of the explosion were all collected from the west and filtered one by one.

Zhou Tianshen leaned forward and stretched out his hand to grab it, a small snake was pinched to death by him in the palm of his hand, on the mountain, You You spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with a blurred eye, the cultivation of the human realm continued to decline, and finally stayed in the talent realm, and two lines of tears slid down her eyes.

The old man shook his head and sighed, no longer wasting the green bricks, this assassination, they lost again.

Sensing the situation on the mountain, Meng Fan stood up and said unwillingly, "Especially if you are useless, the old man is afraid that he will also leave." ”

Chen Shun put away his double knives, jumped a few times, and disappeared.

Meng Fan rushed towards Zhou Tianshen like crazy, yelling in his mouth, as if he had lost his mind, his eyes and mouth kept coming out of black gas, fusing with the black gas on the short knife, and a black gas spider emerged from his back and gradually merged with him.

Zhou Tianshen threw away the little snake in his hand, formed a hand seal, threw out the axe blade and sword, and wanted to cut off the spider legs behind Meng Fan, but they were all absorbed by the black qi.

He used the western retreat, condensed layers of spiritual power barriers in front of him, and then used the east and south to constantly use the wine in the wine pot to consume the black qi.

The two chased after each other, and soon returned to the outside of Daoxiang County, where a woman stood at the gate of the city, and next to the woman stood a dozing old gentleman.

After seeing Zhou Tianshen's embarrassed figure, the woman smiled and woke up the old gentleman, the old gentleman looked at the two people not far away, and said with a smile, "Who I was at that time, it turned out to be Meng Fan, the boss of Hongshan, it was not easy to force him to such a point." ”

The woman said, "Sir, it's better for you to go and help first." ”

The old gentleman rolled up his beard and smiled, "I feel deeply guilty for not helping them last time." Think of it as drink money this time. ”

The old gentleman took a step and appeared in front of Zhou Tianshen, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, Meng Fan was stunned, the black gas turned into a horse and crushed forward, the old gentleman snorted coldly, slapped out a palm, and a lion's head rushed towards Meng Fan with a hideous face, and slapped him directly on the mountain, Meng Fan spit blood from his mouth, and died blindly.

Zhou Tianshen gasped and stood in place and thanked him, "Thank you, old man." ”

Shi smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he could leave, Zhou Tianshen was worried about the small capital in the carriage, so he took his leave first.

Gui Ling and Shi Mou walked together on the way back to the city.

In the carriage, Yu Xiaodu had already woken up, and there was a man lying at his feet, a killer who used two knives.

Yu Xiaodu said, "I didn't expect you to learn four kinds of exercises, those exercises are extraordinary, don't hold on." ”

Zhou Tianshen smiled, "No, it's always good to learn more." ”

—————

After two years, Zhou Tianshen finally returned home.

No one in the village came to visit him, and probably many people had forgotten about the boy who had left home.

When he came home, his parents were there, Sun Tiancian made chicken stew for him, and Zhou Qian was also drunk because of his advancement, and he thought that these were enough.

Kou Huai sat at the door of the house, smoking a dry cigarette, and there was an old man of the same age standing beside him, and there was a black dog lying on his feet, Zhou had just looked for him before, saying that Zhou Tianshen had come back, and had advanced to the Renkui realm, and wanted to come to the three-year advanced to the Renkui realm, and then go to Huangzhao Academy to study, which could be realized soon.

Kou Huai didn't say anything, but the old man who came to Laohuai Village from Tianxiang County to live in seclusion kept saying congratulatory words, and after leaving Zhou Qian, the old man sat next to Kou Huai, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and the bottle was filled with some black medicine, he pinched one out of it, blew lightly, and then put it back into the bottle.

The old man said, "I didn't expect that they would be able to advance to the Renkui realm in two years, and it seems that the day when they are not far from home." ”

Kou Huai spat out a smoke ring, watched it dissipate in the air, and said, "The others don't progress as quickly as he does. ”

The old man put away the bottle and said softly, "Then let him go alone first." ”

Kou Huai sneered, "I can't be the master. ”

——————

The news of Zhou Tianshen's arrival soon spread in the martial arts hall, and the next day, Meng Cheng took Wang Duozhan and others to visit Zhou Tianshen.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Duozhan ran directly to Zhou Tianshen's body and shouted, "You are so powerful, Zhou Tianshen." ”

Zhou Tianshen and the others greeted them one by one.

Meng Cheng and Zhou Qian were talking together, Zhou Tianshen was surrounded by Wang Duozhan and others, Tie Zishan asked, "Zhou Tianshen, how did you cultivate and progress so fast?"

Zhou Tianshen scratched his head and smiled, "It's just luck, what about you?"

Wang Duozhen shouted anxiously, "I have also reached the human mountain realm, and I will soon advance to the human kui realm." ”

Bai Xiaosheng said disdainfully on the side, "Cut, do you think you can compare with Zhou Tianshen, and you will be able to reach the Renkui realm soon, Uncle Meng has already said that in less than a year, you don't want to rush to the Renkui realm." ”

Wang Duo was unconvinced and said, "Then I will advance faster than you, even if I have to wait another year, I will be the second person to advance to the realm of human kui." ”

Ma Xiandi stood aside and said with a smile, "This is true, I didn't expect that there would be such a dwarf winter melon among us at the top level." ”

Wang Duozhan was not convinced again, and shouted, "You are the dwarf winter melon." ”

Tie Zishan pulled Ma Xiandi behind her and said in disgust, "Everyone hurry up and get out of the way, so as not to be bitten by him." By the way, Zhou Tianshen, there is something I need to tell you first, I can't go to Zhongzhou, in another year, our family will go to Xiancaizhou to live, I will study there, you are blamed on me, Xiandi too, he will go with us. ”

Zhou Tianshen smiled, "It's okay, what about you?"

Bai Xiaosheng bared his teeth and said, "Actually, we are all going to Xiancai Prefecture, my mother said, Zhongzhou is too far away, and it is very big... , Or, you go to Xiancai Prefecture with us. ”

Zhou Tianshen couldn't help but smile, "I'll forget it, I still want to go to Zhongzhou, by the way, it was your parents who asked you to go to Xiancaizhou." ”

Wang Cunyuan saw that the others didn't speak, and said softly, "No, it was Uncle Meng who proposed it, and he also wants you to go to Xiancai Prefecture." ”

Zhou Tianshen suddenly realized, "So that's the case." ”

I haven't seen him for more than a year, Bai Xiaosheng proposed to go to the seventh floor of the inn at night to hold a banquet, Wang Duozhan ran home excitedly, and asked Bai Fat to prepare early.

At night, everyone was very drunk, including Zhou Tianshen, who had already drunk a lot.

After that, Zhou Tianshen tried to fight with Meng Cheng, Meng Cheng would also call others to watch and explain some combat essentials to them.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The realm of the others has advanced by leaps and bounds to the human realm in this year, as for Zhou Tianshen, he is still in the human realm, and the golden seeds in his dantian have not had the slightest trace of breaking the shell.

It was time to leave home again, this time Zhou Tianshen chose to leave alone, he didn't go with anyone, and he didn't tell anyone.

In the morning light, the young man carried a bamboo basket on his back, a golden wine jug on his waist, and a jade pendant with a hole in his arms, and set off to Zhongzhou.

——————

Wang Duozhan and others also rode in a carriage with Tie Zishan's family in the early morning and left Laohuai Village amid the farewell of the villagers.

Don't leave it at that.

——————

On the fourth floor of the inn, Ju Baishui stood outside the window, looking at the old locust tree, holding a wordless book in his hand. Fan Fang had already left here, leaving a letter with a road map on it and it was written that he would be waiting for him at the last place.

Two years ago, Tang Deacon of the Tang Gate came to him and wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the thief who stole the plaque outside their Tang Gate, but Ju Baishui didn't tell him, of course he knew who that person was, and he knew where that person was, but now the time has not yet come.

Ten years, three years have passed now, he likes it very much, if Lao Huai Village can avoid this crisis, he doesn't mind staying here for another ten years.

——————

Nameless Mountain, Nameless Cave

Today the cave is full of people, because a big man is coming here as a guest.

Hu Kui was in a high position, and below stood a mysterious man covered in a black cloak, holding a long box with a jasmine flower carved on it.

Hu Kui looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Fortunately, the Lord lifted me and let the Messenger run away, which really made my little hole shine." ”

The mysterious man snorted coldly, threw the long box into Hu Kui's hand, and said unhurriedly, "Your Excellency already knows that the people from Renfeng have come to you for help, Hu Dangjia, you have done a good job, this jasmine can increase your realm cultivation, it should be regarded as a reward for you, and the adult also said that as long as this operation is successful, there will be other rewards." ”

Hu Kui put the long box in his hand and thanked him, "Then thank you, and thank you, the messenger." ”

The mysterious man turned away.
