The warm sun could never shine into this dead city, and the hot and humid breeze that echoed under the gray and gloomy sky brought a palpitating coolness, and joy was short-lived, cut off from the world by the tall walls.

Here, it is Kaiyang Pass.

The purple, golden, and white flags that make up for the surroundings of the city wall, stretched in the wind, cannot always be haunted by a faint sad atmosphere to bring a trace of vitality, every time the new sword cultivator on duty goes down to Heze for the first time, as the sword cultivation disciples fall in pieces, as the injuries with missing arms and legs are sent back, there is never a lack of wails and curses here.

But when a scarlet pennant used to praise the victory of the battle was hung down from the main city tower at the west gate, the wails and curses finally rang out with sparse applause and praise.

"The envoy of the Divine Sect personally identified: Di Yunchen, a disciple of Yuncheng Xuanzong, led the Yuncheng Sect, the Tianqi Sect and the Nanli Sect to conquer Moyang Village, and punished more than 3,000 barbarian witches in Moyang Village.

This pennant is hung in the center of the west gate of Heze, all the sword cultivators who have returned from Heze can be seen at a glance, there are approving and envious, but there are few jealousy and ridicule, because this is the Kaiyang Pass between life and death, destroying the sword witch's stockade, killing the sword witch to obtain contribution points, is the best proof of the success of a sword cultivation.

Because of Ni Shang, the beautiful woman who sings a sad and indulgent song every day and feels free, and when she sees someone coming back from injury, she smiles kindly and is busy giving people medicine....and the man commended on the pennant, he is the 'bad guy' of Ni Shang, a very special man, and their minds invariably echo with the tsunami-like shout of "Cloud City Yunchen" when the new sword cultivators on duty first came out of the customs.

Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, and a man like Di Yunchen is worthy of ridicule if he is unknown for the first time.

For many years, the sword cultivators who have been fighting between Kaiyang Pass and Heze all the year round have not seen this pennant hanging, and only by destroying Heze's top ten stockades can they be qualified to let this pennant hang.

When Yunchen and his entourage finally returned to Kaiyang Pass after seven days, they saw nearly a thousand people welcoming them and chanting "Yuncheng Yunchen" sword cultivation.

"Stained with your light!" Yunchen said to Ni Shang, he knew that in fact, this was the popularity that Ni Sheng had accumulated in the two months of Kaiyang Pass, and the sword cultivators loved Wu and Wu, and now they passed on the popularity to him.

"It's your ability!" said Ni Shang with a sweet smile, while waving his hand to every sword cultivator who came to greet him.

Lin Qiandong, the elder of the Cloud City Sect, stood in front of the gate with an excited face to greet the returning Yuncheng disciples, seeing that most of the disciples came back intact, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he threw a grateful look at Yun Chen.

After entering Kaiyang Pass, he came to the counter on the first floor of Zongfang to exchange contribution points, and watched the sword cultivators who went down to Heze with Yunchen take down the seized elixirs, sword weapons, badges and other items and pile them up into a small mountain.

Convert each item into contribution points, and then assign the contribution points to the nameplate of each comrade-in-arms according to the pre-allocated points, these must be done by the leader of Yunchen's team, and after doing all this, half a day has passed.

Hongxing glanced at the more than 12,000 contribution points recorded on the nameplate, and was immediately overjoyed, took out the silver ticket that originally belonged to Yun Jing and handed it to Hongye Hongsheng, "I won't give you the excess contribution value, you take the silver ticket and share it on the way back." ”

These words were like thunder, and the sword in the sect was so shocked that the jaw of the sword cultivator in the sect fell to the ground, is this still a monk? But more than 200 disciples of Fuze Temple all danced with their eyebrows, and they cheered and went out of the sect to divide the silver tickets... This time it is the turn of the Six Dao Emperor Pujin to envy, their fellow disciples are different from the group of monks who have never seen a silver ticket in their lives in Fuze Temple, so easy to fool, the contribution value on this nameplate, at least half of it, to those closed disciples to give some ha.

The most arrogant is Yunchen, although he spent five thousand contribution points to buy a demon punishment sword technique that can never be practiced in Hongxing's opinion, but his nameplate still has more than sixteen thousand contribution points, he threw the nameplate to Yun Jing in front of more than ten disciples of the Yuncheng Sect who closed the door, "Take it and spend it, you can exchange it for whatever you want, you only have one day's chance, and you will roll it up and go home early tomorrow morning." ”

"You keep saying this, don't you bother!" Yun Jing muttered, and immediately held up the nameplate "yes" cheers, pulled Yun Xiu Nishang and the others, and ran towards the corner of the south of Zongfang with bright eyes, looking at Yun Chen's face ached, and he prayed in his heart that this group of aunts and grandmothers would not really run out.

Yunchen didn't care what they were going to exchange, he went up to the third floor of Zongfang alone, and happened to bump into Hongxing who was downstairs at the door, holding a box wrapped in green cloth, and he looked so excited that he didn't even bother to say hello to him, and ran downstairs directly.

Yunchen stood in front of the bounty bar on the third floor, and after looking at them carefully, he found that the bounty order of the "method of picking yin and yang sunflowers" that he had offered no longer existed, and it did not exist, which meant that this bounty order had been solved. According to the charter, he only needs to find the deacon on the third floor and show his nameplate, and he can get the answer, but now the nameplate is not on his body!

Yunchen quietly went into the third floor and took a turn, and when he saw that the counter where the Juyuan Pagoda was placed was empty, he immediately knew what the box Hongxing was holding was in, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Dead bald donkey, it's so fast, and you lied to me that you want to exchange for the Soul Cleansing Pill." ”

Out of the third floor, Yunchen didn't know where to go for a while, in fact, he now had a lot of things to solve, such as going to the fang market where the sword cultivators outside the sect traded freely to exchange for a sword weapon with the surname of the water family, and for example, going to see Changfengzi... As soon as he thought of Changfengzi, he was distraught, joining the Divine Sect, that was a good thing that many sword cultivators dreamed of, he Di Yunchen said that it was false not to be moved, but could he go? Entering the door of the Cidu Divine Sect meant that he would never have the opportunity to get his hands on the position of the head of the Cloud City Sect again, even if he found the Yin Yang Kui, it was difficult to find a reason to unknowingly get the stone statue aunt out of the ancestral hall of the Grandmaster of the Cloud City Sect. There is also his master and master who are his own, in order to protect him, the master and the master even once moved the idea of betraying the Yuncheng Sect and switching to the Northeast Snow Mountain Sect, can he Di Yunchen turn his back on the master and the master and the people who have high hopes for him in the Yuncheng Sect?

But he didn't agree to Chang Fengzi's fate....Chang Fengzi's righteousness Ling Ran said that he would not coerce him, and Chang Fengzi had already used the Xuanyin Sect to thoroughly investigate the cause of Chang Tai Yongjun's death to hint at him. Attaching equal importance to grace and power is exactly the usual trick used by big people like Chang Fengzi.

Unconsciously, Yun Chen had already walked back to the Yuncheng Sect's station in Kaiyang Pass, except for some registered disciples who had returned here, Yun Rong, Yun Jing, Yun Liang, and their group of closed disciples did not see any of them, and Yun Chen didn't need to think that Yun Chen also knew that they were still squandering their contribution points in the sect at the moment with his nameplate.

Yunchen didn't push open the door that hadn't been pushed open for almost a month, but came directly to the residence of the disciples of Fuze Temple, and after asking Hongxing's room, he went and pushed and found that the door was plugged in from the inside, and he flew up and kicked it open, and sure enough, he found that Hongxing was sitting on the ground, and he was hiding the one-foot-long Juyuan Pagoda in his arms.

Yunchen walked to Hongxing's side and sat down, and after swallowing an intermediate Peiyuan Pill, he threw another one to Hongxing, and put his mind into operation before saying, "Let's practice together." After speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated.

Hongxing saw that it was Pei Yuan Dan, and after swallowing it without hesitation, he explained: "It's not a monk, I sincerely lied to you, you know that this Juyuan Pagoda is hard to find, don't start first, God knows if there is any stock in Zongfang after being replaced." ”

Yunchen understands that the most practical item in Zongfang is undoubtedly the Juyuan Pagoda that doubles the condensation speed of Yuan Force, and it can also be superimposed with the effect of Pei Yuan Dan, in fact, if it wasn't for Hongxing to take the lead, he would be ready to quietly exchange it at night, provided that Yun Jing and the others didn't spend the contribution value on his nameplate.

"When are you going to leave to go back?" Hongxing saw that Yunchen didn't answer, and Hongxing, who was gradually familiar with his indifferent surname, didn't care, after activating the switch at the bottom of the Juyuan Tower, Yunchen could even clearly feel that a large amount of Yuan Li was attracted by the Juyuan Tower, floating in from the windows around the room, as if the essence lingered around the Juyuan Pagoda for the two of them, according to this situation, one Juyuan Pagoda was enough for four people to cultivate at the same time.

"I don't want to go back just yet, I want you to stay and help me too. Yunchen looked at Hongxing and invited sincerely, putting aside Hongxing's shrewdness and cultivation, just talking about the tacit understanding between him and Yunchen that can be understood without words, Yunchen has enough reasons to keep him, "You stay here with me for two years, and I will give you another 10,000 contribution points." Yunchen was afraid that Hongxing would not agree, so he hurriedly threw out a heavy bait.

"Deal. ”

Yunchen was still afraid that Hongxing would not agree, but he didn't expect Hongxing, who was waiting for Yunchen to put forward the conditions, and the bargaining was waived, so he agreed directly.

The two of them stopped talking, and seized the time to cultivate, no matter how deviant Hongxing was in the past, at least Yunchen knew that Hongxing could have cultivation today, and diligence was inseparable, and there was no shortcut on the road to cultivation.

When Yunchen returned to the station again, it was already midnight, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the closing of Zongfang, Yun Jing, Yunrong, Yunxiu, and Yunxue were waiting for him in Yunchen's room, looking at the peels on the ground, and the various berries that were piled up in the room and divided into nets, which were wild specialties, Yunchen already knew roughly where the women spent the contribution value on his nameplate.

"Brother Xinchen, you went there. Yun Jing pouted dissatisfiedly with a black face covered with fruit paste and said, she didn't know how to wash it.

"Hongxing blackmailed me for five thousand contribution points to exchange for Juyuan Tower, and I was wiped out in the past. Yun Chen habitually took out a handkerchief and pulled Yun Jing's head and wiped it for her, just like many years ago in Ruzhou, he wiped Yun Jing's face full of twist paste and syrup.

"Ah, Brother Xinchen, you don't really want to be a monk, do you?" Yun Jing was worried about whether Yunchen would become a monk, and at the same time, she squeezed her eyes towards Yun Xiu, which showed that it was not Yun Xiu that they didn't help Yun Jing wipe her face, but Yun Jing knew that Yun Chen would personally help her wipe it as soon as she came back, and she wouldn't scold her.

"What nonsense!" Yunchen took the nameplate handed by Yunxiu, and when he saw that there were still more than fifteen thousand contribution points, he immediately looked at Yunrong Yunxiu suspiciously, "Don't tell me that you just bought some useless berries." ”

"How could it be useless!" Yun Jing stopped, pointed to the berries on the ground and said, "This is a gift that we brought with us, you see, this is for your master and mother, this is for my master, and this is for my parents." Speaking of this, Yun Jing pleaded with an immortal heart: "Can I not go back?"

Yunchen pretended not to hear, pointed to the berries in the other large nets and asked, "Who are these for?"

"Of course, I brought it back to the little junior sister on the peak. Yun Jing was rarely justified.

"It's been a long road, and with her gluttonous cat, are you sure you can bring all these berries back?" Yunchen asked Yunrong Yunxiu.

Yun Rong Yunxiu glanced at Yun Jing with a little doubt, obviously they didn't have much confidence in Yun Jing. "Take it and buy more. Yun Chen handed the nameplate to Yun Jing, Yun Jing was embarrassed, lowered her head and bent her legs on the ground and rubbed it, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "We have bought it out..."

Terrible woman.

"Are you sure you don't have anything else to buy?" Yunchen felt that it was too dark for him to steal fifteen thousand contribution points.

Yun Xiu replied: "Originally, we wanted to buy a pill for each person to fuse low-level sword souls, but you said that you would get us a better sword soul, I was afraid that we wouldn't need to waste it at that time, so we didn't buy it, plus the Peiyuan Pill from the Nanli Gate was enough for us to eat for three years, so there are no pills to buy, sword weapons... After we go back, we will have enough strength to kill Bai Ze, so..."

Yunchen understands that if you want to buy a sword weapon with the surname of the water family of the ground level, who wants more than a dozen people and who doesn't? As for those who bought the Xuan Rank, it is better to go back and kill Bai Ze by themselves.

"Yunchen, this time we have earned enough contribution points to leave early, and the remaining contribution points on the nameplate are enough for you to exchange for the items you need, why don't you go back with us." Yun Rong asked, this is probably the reason why they didn't spend too much of Yunchen's contribution value, they didn't want Yunchen to stay here alone for the sake of the contribution value.

"I had a reason to stay. Yunchen said, in the past, in order to find Yin Yang Kui, he decided to stay for a while at the beginning, but now because of Changfengzi, I am afraid that I can't leave if I want to.

When Yunchen returned to the third floor of Zongfang again, it was already close to closing, he directly handed his nameplate to the deacon on the third floor, and after the deacon glanced at the amount of contribution value on the nameplate, he glanced at Yunchen in surprise, and then took out a small red token the size of a palm and handed it to Yunchen, "Gate 15, the third alley in the southeast district, someone will tell you what you want to know." ”

Kaiyang Pass is divided into four major areas, the northeast area is the area where all the sword cultivators who suppress witches here provide free food and clothing, the northwest area is the accommodation area for the sword cultivators who take turns to suppress witches or those who voluntarily come to suppress witches, the southwest area is the area where Zongfang Minfang trades, and the southeast area is the area where the people of the three major gods and sects live, and the people of the non-three major gods and sects cannot enter this area if they do not have a token, and this kind of pass token is also particular, such as this red token, at a glance, you know that it should belong to the token of the Xiaoyang Divine Sect, that is to say, the person who knows how to pick the Yin Yang Aoi is the Xiaoyang Divine Sect。

Yunchen was stunned after walking out of the sect with the token, he didn't expect that there would be such a twist and turn to get the answer, so he would openly expose his identity, not to mention, and he might be detained by the other party, forcing him to ask about the whereabouts of Yin Yang Kui, who he didn't know at all.

But in the end, Yunchen still went, afraid of a bird, he is not what he used to be now, and he can be regarded as half a disciple of Cidu Divine Sect, if there is any situation, Changfengzi will not stand idly by.

The pine resin burning in the braziers erected in the attic of the city wall and on the tall buildings, the light shining down, made the opening sun pass in the darkness clear, but the light was a little erratic with the flames swaying at each other.

Different from the scattered stone buildings of different heights in the other three districts, the entire layout of the entire southeast district appears to be in order, with one-color red stone three-story buildings, each street planted with exquisite bonsai flowers and plants, and surrounded by a five-meter-high courtyard wall, like a city within a city. At the gate of the southeast district, the twenty or so people of the Divine Sect who were guarding here looked at the sword cultivators of other sects who occasionally passed by here with a look of envy at the spacious gate.

Yunchen walked here, handed over the red token in his hand, and immediately a disciple of the Xiaoyang Divine Sect in a purple sword robe took it, and after a careful inspection, he glanced at Di Yunchen with a little puzzlement, and then waved his hand and took Di Yunchen personally, along the third alley on the left, to the innermost building, and then put away the token and motioned for Yunchen to go in alone.

Yunchen pushed the door in, the yard was a little messy, the withered yellow branches and leaves fell down from both sides of Longyang Valley and fell to the ground, it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time, Yunchen stepped on it, and the fine withered branches made a "squeak" breaking sound, but after that, Yunchen walked to the gate of this three-story building, and there was no sound.

As soon as he stood up the steps, the door wrapped in thin iron sheets opened silently, and an old voice came from inside, wrapped in a strong smell of decay..."Do you know the whereabouts of Yin Yang Aoi?"
