Haotianmen, located in Gangjing Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The buildings here are built on the hill, and the dense houses and pavilions are scattered throughout the foothills. Shaded by trees, it looks like countless roofs are emerging from among the rocks. This extends from the base of the mountain to the mountainside, and as you continue up, the slope of the mountain suddenly becomes steep, and the peaks reach straight into the sky.

A Zhuji disciple wearing a gray and white robe and a diamond-patterned jade pendant on his waist looked panicked and quickly ran into a particularly spacious hall in the middle of the mountainside.

In the middle of the top of the main hall, a flame pattern is impressively engraved.

In the apse, there is a large platform that covers an area of several hundred square meters and is similar in appearance and shape to a pyramid. An old man in a fiery red robe sat on it, his eyes closed, and in front of him was a strangely shaped bronze square tripod, in which a flame was burning.

You Xuyan is the ancestor of the Haotianmen Fire Attribute faction. At the age of more than two thousand seven hundred, he already has the terrifying cultivation of the eighth layer of the Yuan Infant. The fire in front of him is You Xuyan's natal true fire, and this special method of sacrifice and refining is only known to him.

Led by a disciple of the Fire Palace, the Haotian Gate Foundation Cultivator couldn't help but shudder when he walked into the apse.

There were flickering flames everywhere. There were torches on the walls, and there were burning stoves around the hall, but for some reason, the temperature was much cooler than outside. In particular, the color of the walls and floor tiles in the hall was reflected by the flames with a terrifying bright red, like blood that had just been taken out of the human body, thick and bloody.

Along the way, the Tsukiji monks saw many people in the fire hall, and the number was as high as more than three hundred.

Except for a dozen or so Fire Hall monks under the Haotian Gate, the rest were all ordinary people who got them from under the mountain.

These people are men and women, old and young. They were tied to a stake with ropes, with large chunks of sackcloth stuffed in their mouths, and a strong leather rope was tightly tied from the back of their heads. Although he has nostrils to breathe, he is unable to make sound from his mouth. At most, a few meaningless muffled snorts.

The costumes of the disciples of the Haotianmen Fire Hall were all red. In the light of the fire, their expressions were particularly hideous, and they were also full of undisguised cruelty.

A woman was stripped of her clothes, naked, naked, and pressed to the ground. The disciple of the Haotian Gate Fire Hall who was riding on it was reciting the cultivation mantra while violently invading the woman's body. The woman's hands were tied behind her back, and although she struggled desperately, she could not change her situation, nor could she scream, and her face was full of pain.

On a stake next to it, a man about the same age as a woman was tied. The gray-robed monk of Haotianmen knew that the man should be the woman's husband, or a relative who was related to the woman by blood. The position of the wooden stake was very close to the woman, but it was only more than half a meter away, and when she saw the woman's pain, the man who was tied up was also eye-splitting, constantly shaking back and forth, and there was an angry "whining" sound in his nostrils.

Many Haotianmen people know that it is best not to enter the Fire Hall easily. It's a living hell, full of horror and ghosts.

A lot of ordinary people are escorted in here every day. But only people entered, but no one was ever seen going out.

All around, the dim light of the torches flickered patches, pulling out all kinds of strange shadows in the corners of the main hall. It seems that there is a ghost hidden in the dark, making the surroundings look hideous and miserable. Several tall, fat and strong men stood around. They were shirtless, wearing only a pair of red linen shorts underneath, and a child-colored cloth hood on their heads, enclosing their entire heads, leaving only two small holes for observation outside. This attire resembles a secular executioner, but is even more intimidating.

The gray-robed monk gritted his teeth, trying not to scream in fright.

The number of people who can build a foundation is extremely rare. Moreover, both in terms of insight and courage, they are far beyond ordinary people.

But even so, the gray-robed foundation monk was still afraid.

He is a person from the Haotianmen Hall of Fame.

It was the place where the roster of disciples of all the disciples of the entire Haotian Sect was managed. In terms of specific functions, it is equivalent to an archive of another world. The difference is that there are thick documents and materials in the archives, while in the Hall of Names, there are pieces of jade slips that record the information of the disciples of this sect.

If it weren't for the last resort, the gray-robed monk wouldn't have come to the Fire Hall at all. But there was no way, everyone in the Hall of Fame had such an idea, and in the end, they could only draw lots to decide who would be sent to the Fire Palace.

It felt like a group of shipwrecked people drawing death lots, deciding which one they wanted to drag out and eat as food.

Walking into the inner sanctum, the corridor was deep darkness, without a single light. The torch does not shine here, it is as if it has been swallowed up by darkness and completely disappeared. In this environment, it is impossible to see what is in the darkness, where is the ground, or the terrible abyss of death.

A cold, damp wind blew from the opposite side, and there was a strong smell of blood in the wind. Following the direction of the source of the airflow, the gray-robed monk Zhuji saw a fire temple monk wearing a red veil with a sharp knife in his hand, plunging deep into the abdomen of a middle-aged man, cutting off the intestines and liver in order. As he did this, the other man on the stake across from him watched. He obviously wanted to close his eyes and couldn't bear to look any further. Next to him, another Fire Hall monk immediately came over, firmly glued the man's eyelids with special glue, and forcibly twisted his neck, so that he could remember every detail.

The gray-robed monk heard the sound of his throat swallowing unconsciously.

Such a cruel march was unbearable even for him. One can imagine how much pain the man who was tied to the stake endured. It was his relatives who were eviscerated from the inside. Normally, this kind of thing is enough to make a nervous breakdown. But here, they couldn't do anything but watch silently with their eyes wide open.

This is the special cultivation secret method of the Fire Temple.

They brought in a lot of ordinary people who were related to each other from outside the mountains. In front of another person, one of them was wantonly humiliated and brutally killed. All kinds of cruel and ferocious methods are frequent, and there are many kinds of tricks. It is also said that the monks of the Temple of Fire have been seen cooking babies alive in the presence of a mother. Or in front of her husband, he ravaged his wife to death.

In the face of such a brutal act, everyone is terrified, and those close to them are angry.

Yes, anger, this is the purpose of the Fire Temple monks to torture ordinary people repeatedly.

Fire, which is divided into many kinds.

Flames such as the Sun True Fire and the Three Flavors True Fire belong to the Dharma Flame. Such flames are scarce in the world, and the only way to get them is by chance or luck.

Mortal fire can be seen everywhere in the world. The fire, which is usually used to boil water and rice, falls into this category. However, there is another kind of mortal fire that is even more special, and the effect is no less than that of the Dharma Flame, that is, the natal fire that everyone has in their body.

When angry, many people will feel the blood surging up and down, and the strength will be much greater than usual. The so-called surging blood is actually the result of the fire of the natal heart burning in the dantian and driving the blood to speed up. This kind of fire is formless and incorporeal, but its effect is not trivial. Especially on the battlefield, an army with a burning heart and a surging blood will inevitably exert a more powerful combat effectiveness than usual and be invincible.

The Fire Temple didn't know where exactly it got a secret method. For more than a decade, secular human traffickers have become frequent visitors to Haotianmen. Groups of ordinary men and women were escorted up the mountain and tortured repeatedly inside the Fire Temple. Because the mouth and tongue are sealed, the anger that erupts from within the body becomes more and more vigorous. As everyone knows, the anger generated in his body has been quickly absorbed by the violent Fire Hall monk next to him, and transformed into a foundation for improving his cultivation and strengthening himself.

There is another benefit to using this plundered heart fire. That is, when the anger of the heart is taken away, it will also carry a trace of natal soul. The intense anger of revenge remains in the consciousness of the soul forever. Over time, it will translate into hatred of anything. This hatred is so strong that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as skinning and devouring bones. Especially in battle, once the Fire Temple Monk releases his inner fire, the angry soul contained in it will immediately regard the opponent as an enemy, and will rush to bite it desperately, even if the opponent becomes a corpse, it will tear its flesh and blood fiercely.

No one knows how many ordinary people are imprisoned in the Fire Temple.

No one knows how many ordinary people died in the fire temple.

In short, many corpses are transported out of the Fire Temple every day. Those who were tortured to death were all buried in the back mountain. Over time, the trees and flowers grew particularly luxuriantly, and the number of wild wolves, hungry tigers and other animals also increased dramatically. They are accustomed to eating human flesh, and it is said that even their eyes emit a terrible green glow, and their teeth are particularly sharp.

When he saw You Xuyan, the ancestor of the Fire Palace, the gray-robed monk could no longer support it, and his whole person was drenched in cold sweat, almost paralyzed on the ground.

He was wearing a thick blood-colored robe, and his hands were constantly making various magic seals, but the flame in front of him was light blue, but the shape was strange, like a monster with an independent soul.

You Xuyan raised his eyelids, glanced at the gray-robed monk casually, and his voice was dry and hoarse: "Say, ask to see me, what's the matter?"

The gray-robed monk did not feel the slightest fear when he met his ancestors, only the intense fear of facing a poisonous snake. He took several deep breaths, his face turned pale, he trembled and bowed, it was very difficult, and he stammered: "Qi, Qi Ancestor, there is a piece of jade slip in the Hall of Names...... Cracked, cracked. ”

When all the disciples were first made, they had to drip their own essence and blood. This is also an important basis for all cultivation sects to judge whether the disciples are safe or not. If the jade slip is cracked, it means that this person has suffered an unexpected death, and he will definitely die.

You Xuyan raised his head, revealing a thin, terrifying face like a skeleton. He made a magic seal to collect the flames, and his expression was quite surprised: "Whose jade slip is cracked?"

The gray-robed monk struggled to bring his voice back to normal: "It's Senior Brother Shen Changyou, who traveled down the mountain fifteen years ago. At that time, his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of foundation building. But I don't know why, the jade slip cracked, and his body was definitely dead. ”

"Hmph! It's just a piece of waste that builds the sixth layer of the foundation. ”

You Xuyan, who was over 1,000 years old, grinned and laughed like a crow, revealing a few mutilated black teeth.

Most cultivators pay great attention to their appearance. In particular, the Yuanying Monk with profound mana is either a young and handsome man or a beautiful girl. At the beginning, You Xuyan also worked his appearance. However, the anger and fire that has been plundered from the worldly people are wandering with remnants, and cultivating this kind of cruel practice is bound to cause heaven and earth to be intolerant. Over time, the remnant soul of the deceased will also devour the flesh and blood essence in You Xuyan's body. The price paid is that the appearance is ugly, and the appearance is so terrifying in this life and this life.

"Qi refining and foundation building are just the introductory stages of cultivation. Without condensing qi into a pill, there is no avenue at all. In the eyes of this ancestor, there is no difference between the first layer of foundation building and the great perfection of foundation building. It's just six layers of waste, and if it's dead, it's dead. ”

After a slight pause, You Xuyan put away his creepy sneering face, his expression became calm, and said, "The old man remembers that a few years ago, there was an incident in the Hall of Names, and many jade slips were shattered. ”

The gray-robed Zhuji monk lowered his body, his forehead was against the ground, and he didn't dare to come out, and he replied in a loud voice: "Yes, the jade slip was cracked in a total of hundreds of pieces that time. It's just that none of the Grandmaster Hall Masters in the door asked. ”

You Xuyan smiled hoarsely: "Of course they won't ask." There are some things that they don't even want to touch, let alone take the initiative to take responsibility. A bunch of bastards who just want to sit back and enjoy their work. ”

After a moment, he turned his cold gaze to the gray-robed monk kneeling on the ground: "Present the broken jade slip and Shen Changyou's information, and let the old man take a closer look." As for you...... I see that you are also greedy for life and afraid of death, and you can't enjoy the edification of my Fire Palace's secret method. In this life and this life, you are destined to stay in the Hall of Fame for a long time, and it is difficult to improve your cultivation. ”

Hearing this, the gray-robed monk hurriedly handed the jade slip information that had been prepared to a fire temple monk next to him, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and crawled with a roll, and fled as fast as possible to leave this gloomy and terrible place.

You Xuyan, who was sitting on the platform, didn't care. His eyes were fixed on the fragment of the jade slip in front of him, as well as another complete jade slip that recorded Shen Changyou's personal information.

A wisp of divine consciousness penetrated into it, and all the information appeared in You Xuyan's mind.

The Fire Temple exercises are special, and they are top secrets that must not be known to outsiders. You Xuyan didn't want to worry about the affairs of the door, but a few years ago, after the large-scale jade slip shattering incident in the Hall of Records, he was angry and demanded that he must know the news of the life and death of all the people in the door as soon as possible.

Tang Qiyuan's cultivation of the demon clan is similar to the method of heart fire plundering cultivated by You Xuyan.

That demon classic was originally obtained by Tang Qiyuan by chance when he was traveling. After returning to the mountain gate, several elders in the gate were angry at this and asked Tang Qiyuan to hand it over. Although Tang Qiyuan was a junior at that time, his temper in his bones was very tough, he was no longer as good as Jin Dan at that time, and he barely had the capital to confront the elders. claimed: He would rather die than hand over the classics, and if the persecution was tight, he would destroy the classics, and even betrayed Haotianmen.

At that time, this incident made the high-level of Haotianmen angry. However, You Xuyan admired Tang Qiyuan's practice of breaking the net. At the moment, with him in the middle, Haotianmen has one more "secret door", and Tang Qiyuan is in charge.

You Xuyan knew that Tang Qiyuan was very ambitious. However, his own ambitions are not small.

Everyone has their own plans, the generals and ministers want to replace the emperor, and the monks also want to replace their suzerain. You Xuyan and Tang Qiyuan secretly talked about it, and what they were plotting was far more than these.

What's so great about mastering a denomination?

What is it to control a country?

The world is so big, why can't you order the cultivation sects, why can't you control the life and death of all people in the world?

Of course, it's good to have ideas.

The key is, do you have the strength to do so?

As an elder, You Xuyan spared no effort to provide Tang Qiyuan with a large amount of personnel and assets. In just two years, the development of the secret gate has been extremely rapid, not only Tang Qiyuan himself has entered the Yuan infant stage, but there are also a large number of Jindan monks who have cultivated the Demon Gong classics. If you compare it purely by strength, it even surpasses some third-rate cultivation sects.

You Xuyan lived for more than 8,700 years and had seen far more things than Tang Qiyuan. On the question of when exactly it broke out, he had a conflict with Tang Qiyuan for the first time.

Young people are very impulsive. Tang Qiyuan is no exception. He had always had great ambitions, and he wanted to command the entire cultivation world as soon as possible. In order not to tear his face, You Xuyan could only promise to let go of his hand and let Tang Qiyuan choose the target of attack freely. In this way, after Tang Qiyuan planned many times, he aimed the first attack target at Guiyuan Sect.

You Xuyan has seen Tang Qiyuan's plan. Very thorough and thoughtful in the details. From the initial temptation of the steel armor storm to the full-scale attack in the later stage, the advance and retreat were orderly, and it can be said that there was no omission.

However, it was such a well-thought-out plan that wiped out the entire Haotianmen Secret Palace.

From Tang Qiyuan to the secret hall monks who participated in the plan, all of them shattered at the same time.

Except for You Xuyan and the Sect Master of Haotian Sect, no third person knew about this plan.

You Xuyan felt frightened. He couldn't think of what kind of power would cause a master as strong as Yuan Ying to collapse in an instant?

Could it be that the Guiyuan Sect sent spies inside Haotianmen?

Or, the news leaked, and the other party was prepared in advance?

Neither scenario seems likely. In this way, there is only one last kind left: that is, the Guiyuan Sect has hidden an incomparably strong strength, and their strength is far greater than what is placed on the surface.
