Chapter 252: Life is nothing but going up and down the mountain
On the third day of November, the city of Mausoleum.
After An Jing got Zhao Qingmei's secret letter, he went all the way south.
The battle of Bikong Island soon spread throughout the rivers and lakes, and compared to the battle between the Buddha and the Demon in Yujing City, this time it was even more eye-catching, because this time Bikong Island was a life-and-death battle to resolve grievances.
The battle of life and death, that is not a competition, it is to see blood and death.
The veteran people can faintly feel that this trip to the blue sky island is extremely dangerous.
Coupled with the ferocity and brutality of the Demon Cult in the past, not many people went with the idea of watching the battle.
In addition to the True One Sect, only some sects that had a deep blood feud with the Demon Sect went to Bikong Island to fight, including the Five Poison Sect and two small sects.
As for some of the other sect forces, they all chose to remain silent, after all, the Demon Sect also said that the past grievances were not to blame, and there was no need for them to set foot on Blue Sky Island to fight to the death.
However, in terms of solidarity, they are still very positive in responding to the Shinyi Sect.
An Jing traveled all the way and finally arrived at Lingcheng.
And Bikong Island is still in the south, and it is not far from Lingcheng.
If it weren't for the fact that he had exercises such as the "Nameless Heart Sutra", the true qi in his body would be almost endless.
It is also impossible to reach the border of Kyokaido in such a quick time.
But to keep running at all this level is a very heavy load for the spirit.
Need a good rest.
The mausoleum city is not as good as Yuzhou City, but it is also very prosperous.
There is a wharf in the west of the city, where you can see awning boats, merchant ships, and dart flags that come and go.
There are many bandits in Jinghaidao, especially the bandits who are known as one of the five gangs in the world, Wangjinghai, which is called the first of the three evils by the merchants.
An Jing walked to the river, and a Upong boat caught his attention.
Red flags were planted on both sides of the canopy boat, and the old boatman at the bow was rocking the oar, except for an old man in white who was sitting upright and making tea.
This old man in white is Jun Qinglin, who came out of the Demon Sealing Platform.
An Jing beckoned, and the old boatman hurriedly leaned towards the shore when he saw this. "The Great Elder is really good Yaxing, enjoying the tea and the scenery at the same time."
An Jing sat opposite Jun Qinglin and poured himself a cup of tea brewed by Jun Qinglin.
The boatman continued to rock the oar, and walked into the distance.
Jun Qinglin took a sip of tea and said: "As far as the eye can see, it is all in the past, the scenery is not good-looking, the old man is mainly to see this person, what is the difference between this world and the past." ”
An Jing poured a cup for Jun Qinglin and asked with a smile: "As soon as the Great Elder came this time, my heart was also at ease. ”
When Jun Qinglin heard this, there was a hint of playfulness on the corner of his mouth, "Oh? ”
An Jing said slowly: "Blue Sky Island is only a hundred miles away from Zhao Guo, and that Qi technique died in my hands at the beginning, this time the True One Sect is in an uproar, and the master of the Black Ice Platform will definitely make a move." ”
On this trip to Blue Sky Island, An Jing was not afraid of the Yan country rivers and lakes forces, because in addition to the True One Sect, the masters of the Yan country such as the Five Poison Sect would besiege and kill him, and in addition, the Black Ice Platform also had a high probability of being involved.
Ye Ding's location on Blue Sky Island also gave Black Ice Platform a hint.
This shows that in Ye Ding's opinion, he has already created a great threat, even if he does not hesitate to use the hand of the Black Ice Table, he will kill himself.
Black Ice Terrace!
This terrible and mysterious force!
The national strength of Zhao State is not weaker than that of Yan State at all, and Black Ice Platform is the absolute controller of Zhao State.
With pills such as the Anomalytic Pill and the Yuan Ling Pill, I don't know how many masters have been absorbed, and even some half-step grandmasters can reach the First Qi Grandmaster, or even the Second Qi Grandmaster.
Its strength is definitely above the True One Sect, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even the number one sect in the world, which is also one of the biggest crises hidden in the Blue Sky Island.
Jun Qinglin's fingers knocked on the table, "Those who arrive early may not succeed, and those who arrive late may not reach it,
The first thirty years of his life were inconspicuous compared to the top geniuses in the world, but in the last thirty years, he surpassed all his peers, I don't know what his strength has been over the years, this is the most worrying. ”
As the master of the Black Ice Platform, his strength is absolutely undoubted, and not many people know how high it is.
Maybe even the masters in the Black Ice Platform don't know, because Qi Xuandao hasn't made a move for a long time. "At this time, the master of the Black Ice Platform is here, so what?"
An Jingyu said with a smile: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, but I don't know that the slingshot under the tree is hungry and thirsty, and now the great elder is the hunter hidden under the tree, and whoever comes will kill it all." ”
Jun Qinglin chuckled, "You can expect that the Black Ice Platform will make a move, so the old boy Ye Ding won't be able to guess it?" ”
An Jing frowned, and he also had some doubts in his heart.
"Ye Ding, what you did this time is not as simple as you imagined, maybe you have a backhand."
Jun Qinglin looked at the river and said, "You haven't seen this person, and most of the deeds you have heard are hearsay, and most of the things that are hearsay are difficult to distinguish between true and false, so you will no longer use this as a basis." ”
"You killed the master of the True One Sect, and the True One Sect killed the master of my Outer Heaven Sect, these are all facts, how can grievances and grievances be resolved in one or two sentences?"
"Especially if you kill two real people, a great peak master, whether it is right or wrong, this is a fact, if they are silent, what will the disciples in the sect think, and what will the people in the world think of this huge state religion?"
An Jing's brows twisted into a pimple, "This matter, it is indeed a good thing for me to solve the grievances that have been deposited for many years, but I am afraid that this grievance will not be settled." ”
Not to mention whether the people from the Black Ice Platform of Blue Sky Island in front of him will come this time, if Ye Ding dies on Blue Sky Island, will the True One Sect really give up?
Jun Qinglin said lightly: "Then it depends on whether the True One Sect wants to kill a few people, or a group of people." ”
Five Poison Mountain, Five Poison Gate.
Not far from the Thunder Pond, there is a pavilion.
This pavilion is exactly where Feng Lingyue cultivates.
When Feng Lingyue was young, he liked beautiful women, food, and gorgeous clothes, and when he got older, he still liked luxury.
It's his unique logo.
Feng Lingyue sat at the top of the seat, tasting the precious tea with an indifferent expression.
"Ancestor."
Three figures appeared outside the door.
The person who came was Dai Danshu, the head of the Five Poisons Sect, and the Great Elder Chengquan and Dai Ling. Feng Lingyue stretched out her hand and said, "You are all here, sit down." ”
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
The three of them didn't know why Feng Lingyue had summoned them over, so they sat down cautiously.
Feng Lingyue didn't talk nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "The ghost swordsman has been invited to go to Blue Sky Island, I don't know if others will go or not, but I, Feng Lingyue, must go." ”
The grievances between the Demon Sect and the Five Poison Sects are not ordinary grievances in the rivers and lakes.
Dai Danshu took a deep breath and said, "This time, the True One Sect Great Tianyang Ye senior made a move, and it was still on Blue Sky Island, and the ghost swordsman was afraid that it would not be so simple if he wanted to get out." ”
The crisis of the Blue Sky Island, Dai Danshu could naturally smell it, even if An Jing defeated the Extraordinary King Kong, he didn't believe that the ghost swordsman could cross the Blue Sky Island unharmed.
"This battle for Blue Sky Island is not so simple."
Feng Lingyue waved her hand, her face was also rare and a little solemn, "The ghost swordsman dares to agree, I think there may be something strange about this matter." ”
Vaguely, his instincts told him that the battle for Blue Sky Island would be dangerous.
Dai Danshu and Chengquan were also silent, and among the seven major factions, only the True One Sect and the Five Poison Sect went to see it.
Dai Ling hesitated a little and said, "I also think that the ancestor would be otherwise..."
"I have to go to Blue Sky Island."
Feng Lingyue interrupted her when she knew what Dai Ling wanted to say, and said, "Even if it may be very dangerous, there is a fear for your life. ”
"Ancestor!"
"Ancestor!"
Dai Danshu and Cheng Quan both turned pale when they heard this.
Feng Lingyue is the pillar of the Five Poison Sect, if something really happens to him, the Five Poison Sect will immediately become the bottom existence of the Seven Great Sects like the Blue River Sect, how to fight against the attack of the Demon Sect?
"This battle of Blue Sky Island is nothing more than two results, the first is that I am not dead, which is naturally the best result, and the other is that I die..."
Feng Lingyue paused when she said this, and then said, "When the time comes, you will return to the Demon Sect." ”
"Ancestor."
Dai Danshu hurriedly said: "These five poison gates are your hard work, and if it really doesn't work, the ancestor can wait with me..."
"Needless to say, you can all return to the Demon Sect, but the old man can't."
Feng Lingyue waved her hand and said calmly: "The old man swore an oath since he left the Demon Sect,
I will never return to the Demon Sect in this life, and besides, I have been fighting with the Demon Sect for so many years, and they can tolerate me, and I may not be able to tolerate myself. ”
After hearing this, several people were a little sad and dazed in their hearts.
Especially Dai Ling, the thought of joining the Demon Sect made it seem that life had lost all its meaning all at once.
Before, she had always thought that Zhang Zhixing's purpose was revenge, if she joined the Demon Sect, how would she take revenge?
Seeing this, Feng Lingyue laughed and said, "I'm just analyzing one result, how the battle of Blue Sky Island is still very knowable, why be so sad?" ”
After about three or four breaths of silence, Dai Danshu stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Then I will wish the ancestor a victory." ”
"Then I wish the ancestor a victory."
The other two also got up.
Feng Lingyue walked out of the pavilion and looked at the towering Five Poison Mountain, the Five Poison Gate she founded, and couldn't help laughing.
True One Religion, Partial Temple.
The sea of clouds in the mountains is vast, the green pines are upright, the Qiong Towers are numerous, and the mist is curling up.
Xiao Qianqiu was playing against Ye Ding.
Ye Ding held the sunspot in his hand, looked at the chessboard in front of him like a galaxy, and then smiled and said, "I lost." ”
"Concession."
Even the person opposite who was his master and father, Xiao Qianqiu did not back down in the slightest.
Xiao Qianqiu asked, "Master, after going down the mountain this time, will you go to Xuanqing Mountain?" ”
Ye Ding smiled faintly and said, "I already saw him half a month ago. ”
Xiao Qianqiu said calmly: "Uncle Xiao returned to Zhenyi Mountain? ”
Since Luo Chongyang killed the master of Zhenyi's cultivation, he has never returned to Zhenyi Mountain.
Even if the ancestor sat down, he didn't come back to take a look. "It was because of him that I made up my mind to go down the mountain."
Ye Ding bowed slightly, and then sighed: "Master was right back then, he was the only one of the three of us who had the opportunity to touch that realm. ”
Xiao Qianqiu said: "Uncle Xiao is a pure cultivator. ”
Ye Ding picked up a chess piece and put it back in the chess basket, "What makes people feel ridiculous is that the original True One Sect could not accommodate a true cultivator, but now it can accommodate 100,000 disciples. ”
"Everything in the world is changing, if it weren't for Uncle Yu Ying and Master, the True One Sect might not be what it is now."
"But now the real one doesn't need us anymore."
The movements in Xiao Qianqiu's hands paused, and a trace of waves appeared in his calm heart for many years.
This kind of wave is different from the sword that faced Lou Xiangzhen at the beginning.
Ye Ding saw it very thoroughly, the True One Sect was pushed to the top because of its power, and now it is also because the root system of power has begun to fester, just exposing the outer skin, it makes people feel terrible and terrifying when they look at it.
The tide of the times is changing, and a generation of grandmasters has become an outcast of the times.
"There are some things that I don't say you understand, so I'll pick out some important things and talk about them."
Ye Ding picked up the chess pieces one by one into the chess basket, "Zhenyi Sect is the state religion of Yan State, fate has been tied to the fate of Yan State, if Yan Country is prosperous, the State Religion will have a chance to prosper, and if Yan Kingdom is destroyed, Zhenyi will also decline." ”
"Now the Yan Kingdom is in crisis, and the court is also infighting, the situation is more difficult than imagined, Houjin has developed into today's tiger in 20 years, which must have strange and clues, the Houjin Holy Lord is also a rare male lord, and the Taiping Emperor is a martial arts emperor, but compared to the Taiping Emperor is a lot younger, it will definitely become a big disaster in the future, in addition to the Houjin, Zhao and Nanban are also eyeing each other, it can be said that the situation is very dangerous."
Xiao Qianqiu listened quietly and did not say a word.
If this were not the case, how could Buddhism and the Demon Sect be able to enter?
Ye Ding continued: "Regarding the temple battle, don't meddle, the most taboo thing for the emperor is this, as for His Majesty the Emperor today, I don't know if he broke through the shackles or not, but he must have his own plan, you have obtained the creation of heaven and earth, and the future is unlimited,
All it takes is a while. ”
"After the battle of the Blue Sky Island, no matter who lives or dies, the True One Sect and the Outer Heaven will not mention any previous grievances, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the tens of thousands of disciples of the True One Sect and the rivers and lakes, but the ghost swordsman, you and he still have a dispute over Taoism, the True One Sect comes from the Xuanmen, and the unification of the Xuanmen is the long-cherished wish of countless True One Sect ancestors, and the teacher failed to complete it back then, I hope you can complete it."
Xiao Qianqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Master..."
Ye Ding said lightly: "Have you written it down?" ”
Xiao Qianqiu nodded and said, "I've written it down." ”
Ye Ding put down the last chess piece and said, "Senior brother has been waiting for me for a long time, you go and take my luggage, he and I should go down the mountain." ”
With that, Ye Ding got up and walked towards the outside of the hall.
At this time, Yu Ying, who was dressed in a black robe, stood at the door and saw Ye Dinggong arching his hand.
"Senior brother!"
Ye Ding asked, "Has the Tianzun of the Tianzun Hall worshipped?" ”
As long as he cultivates on Zhenyi Mountain, Yu Ying will go to the Tianzun Hall in the morning to worship and insert three incense sticks.
"Bye-on."
"That's good."
Ye Ding looked at Yu Ying, who had gray hair in front of him, and sighed with emotion, "Senior brother, do you think this real mountain is different from when we went up the mountain before?" ”
Yu Ying glanced at it, "Isn't it different?" I didn't pay much attention to it. ”
"yes."
Ye Ding pointed to a stout green pine in the distance and said, "The old pine tree next to the real hall died seventeen years ago, and you still have a small explanation on it, it was Chongyang who secretly told me." ”
Yu Ying shook his head and smiled: "You don't say that I forgot, how many years have passed, that kid threatened me to complain to the master, and then I exchanged ten sugar people for him to keep this secret, and he actually told you." ”
Ye Ding also laughed, "I used three sugar men to exchange." ”
Yu Ying asked, "By the way, how did Qingsong die?" I poured my boy urine and it should thrive. ”
Ye Ding said: "There are too many insects, and there are a lot of holes in Qingsong's body. ”
Yu Ying looked at the Qiong Tower standing in front of him, as well as the fairyland-like green mountains in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, you really don't need me anymore?" Ye Ding looked at the faint distance and said, "We are not needed." ”
Yu Ying fell silent and did not speak again.
"Master."
At this time, Xiao Qianqiu walked out with his luggage.
"Let's go."
Then the three of them walked down the mountain, and along the way, they also saw many disciples of the True One Sect, and saw that the three of them hurriedly bent down and shouted at the ancestor, with extremely respectful expressions.
Ye Ding said in a low voice: "How many years have you not gone down the mountain?" ”
It's like asking yourself, and it's like asking Yu Ying.
Yu Ying looked at the grass and trees on both sides, and thought for a long time before saying, "I just went down the mountain some time ago. ”
For so many years, going down the mountain has been killing people for the sake of the True One Sect, the last time it was a ghost swordsman, the last time it was Yan Shaoshan, and this time it was to kill people.
Then the three of them did not speak, and walked quietly down the mountain.
Xiao Qianqiu remembered many years ago, when Ye Ding accepted him as an apprentice, took him step by step up to this real mountain, and explained to him every grass, tree, mountain and stone.
And now, he is sending Ye Ding down the mountain step by step.
No matter how things change in the world, vitality will always be reincarnated, a new beginning, and a new picture will slowly unfold.
Life is like this, it is nothing more than going up and down the mountain.
The three of them eventually came to the bottom of the mountain.
Ye Ding was the first to speak: "Qianqiu, go back." ”
Yu Ying was looking at the long staircase, looking at the quiet mountains, and looking at the vast sky, as if he wanted to imprint all this in his eyes and in his heart.
He has done a lot of things, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing, maybe it's an unsightly deed, but he has put in the most effort among the three.
His whole life was sprinkled on this mountain.
When Xiao Qianqiu heard this, he turned around and walked towards the mountain, but took two steps and said, "Just let me see the master and the second uncle." ”
Ye Ding didn't speak, just looked at Yu Ying from the side.
I don't know how long it took before Yu Ying came back to his senses and said, "Senior brother, let's go." Ye Ding asked, "Don't look at it anymore?" ”
Yu Ying laughed and said, "I remember it in my heart, I'm afraid I won't forget it again." ”
"Let's go, then."
Ye Ding laughed loudly and walked into the distance.
Xiao Qianqiu looked at the backs of the two old Taoists, one black and one white, bowed to the distance, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Master, Uncle!" ”
PS: There is another shift in the evening.
