Li Dong followed the two men with swords on their backs and walked towards the huge building complex on the hillside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis place is as grand as it looks from the outside, and the entire hillside is full of buildings. In the middle is a stone staircase that leads to the top of the mountain. As soon as the two men with swords on their backs stepped on it, they heard the sound of bells everywhere, and then dozens of men with swords on their backs poured out from the top of the stone steps, all of them with the same nervous expressions, and they all looked around to know what was happening.
At this moment, a few middle-aged Daoists who stepped on flying swords landed in the air, their eyes swept coldly, and the group of people immediately stopped their voices, and then a few gray-shirted men in a hurry ran from several other directions, ran to the middle-aged Taoist, knelt on the ground and said: "Uncle Shi, the forbidden land of the Sword Sect has been broken into and the spirit of the remnant sword has been transferred."
"What?" Hearing this, the Taoist priest's face became extremely gloomy, and his originally light and indisputable eyes instantly became extremely sharp and full of murderous aura. As soon as he waved his hand, the scabbard behind his back let out a dragon groan, and a flying sword emitting cyan sword light fell into his palm.
"Burning Emperor Boy, the old man is about to kill you" Then he personally led dozens of people to rush down the stone steps and kill out of the drawbridge.
The rest of the sword-carrying men did not dare to slack off, and followed closely behind and walked across the suspension bridge. As soon as they left, the complex became empty, and Li Dong immediately dodged out from behind the rocks and stepped up the stone steps to the top of the mountain.
He had just been curious to know what was hidden within this complex, but now that he had set foot here, he had a different idea. He wants to take this opportunity to completely provoke the contradiction between the Burning Emperor Sect and the Five Peerless Sects, since they misunderstand that all this is the work of the Burning Emperor Sect, then he has to make things bigger.
While he observed the spacious and bright hall in front of him, he thought in his heart how to destroy it, and after looking at it for a long time, his eyes fixed on the statue in the middle of the hall, it seemed that his image was very imposing, and it would be interesting to make his face flowery.
Li Dong did as soon as he thought of it, and he found that there were only two gray-shirted sword-backed men guarding outside the main hall, so he used his thief technique, quietly bypassed one of them, and then closed his six senses with an extremely fast technique, so that he could not shout. He turned around again and patted the other person on the shoulder, and as soon as he turned around, he was knocked unconscious by Li Dong's punch.
All this was done in the blink of an eye, with a clean movement, without even making a sound, and at once he dragged them into the main hall, hid them behind a large bookcase, and then he looked towards the statue in the center, took a carving knife from his bosom, and began his painting.
After carving all the carvings, he finally jumped down from the statue with satisfaction, and was just about to turn around and leave the main hall when he heard a large wave of footsteps outside. Li Dong hurriedly returned to the main hall, he didn't know where to hide, he turned around and went behind the bookcase. At this moment, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and a few Taoists just now led people in very angrily.
"The Burning Emperor Sect is simply too deceitful, why don't we order the world's qi practitioners to fight with them in the Five Peerless Sects," the murderous Taoist priest roared angrily. He was holding a flying sword, the tip of which was already stained red with blood, indicating that he had just killed someone.
"Have you forgotten that a hundred years ago, the entire Kamu Dynasty was wiped out in one day? With our Five Peerless Sects, we don't have the strength to compete with the Burning Emperor Sect," another Taoist priest with a calm face sighed slightly.
"Could it be that our Qi Cultivators are going to be oppressed by their Soul Cultivators forever? Why don't we go and ask the people of the Star Alliance for help?" said a young Taoist priest who was also very indignant.
"The people of the Star Alliance, we of the Five Peerless Sects pay tribute to the Star Alliance Envoys every year, but they never care about our life or death," the sword-wielding Taoist said with a disdainful expression.
"Then let's just let the Sword Sect's Supreme Treasure Remnant Sword Spirit be stolen and let it go" Just as several Taoist priests were arguing over this, a man in a green shirt stood up and shouted loudly.
Li Dong naturally knew that he met a tiger rider a few days ago, and when he saw him speak in a full tone, it seemed that his injuries had healed that day, and Li Dong was still a little sorry for this person, after all, he accidentally let him be injured.
"Of course not!" was provoked by the tone of the man in the green shirt, and the expressions on the faces of the four Taoist priests suddenly changed color, especially which Taoist priest with a sword, he first rushed to the main gate, waved the green sword in his hand and said: "The disciple of the Sword Sect will go down the mountain with me, and rob and kill which kid along the way back to the Burning Emperor Sect."
Then dozens of men with swords on their backs were led by him and flew down the mountain. As soon as he left, the young Taoist priest lightly hugged his fists and said, "The medicine sect is willing to wish the Sword Sect a helping hand" and then he also led dozens of people down the hillside.
At this time, there were still one hundred and ten people standing in the main hall, and almost all of them were staring at the remaining two Taoist priests with full attention. Hopefully, the order to intercept and kill can be heard from their mouths.
"Second brother, don't be reckless in this matter, let's wait for the eldest brother to come out of the customs before making plans" One of the Taoist priests holding the dust whisk was about to rush out, but was grabbed by another Taoist priest by the wrist.
"Second brother, that Burning Emperor kid is really too deceitful, not only injured our beast sect disciples, but also stole the holy relics of the Sword Gate, such evil obstacles, how can you face our five ancestors without killing the world's prestige" The dusty Taoist priest is naturally the uncle of the green-shirted man who fought with Li Dong just now, and was so angry with him that he smoked.
Before he finished speaking, suddenly the whole person was stunned, he stared at the statue above his head with a pair of eyes, and only shouted angrily for a long time: "Immediately block the palace door, don't let the Burning Emperor Boy escape."
Then the entire hall entered a tense and murderous atmosphere, and countless people stared at the surroundings with extremely vigilant eyes, at this time Li Dong also felt that the situation was serious, if he was discovered at this moment, it would undoubtedly be dead.
Just when everyone was wondering why Uncle Shi knew that the Burning Emperor Boy was hiding in this hall, they also noticed the statue's cheeks together, and then their expressions changed. That was the image of the extremely sacred ancestor in their hearts, and at this time, it was made into a flying face. Not only was the face ruined, but there was also a payment, and the Emperor was burned to visit here.
This incident has hurt the self-esteem of the Five Peerless Sects, and even the old Taoist priest, who has always behaved steadily, was trembling with anger, and the teacup he held in one hand turned into chicken powder in an instant.
Soon! They rummaged through the whole hall, and they would let go of almost every corner. Li Dong hid behind the bookcase, and he didn't even dare to make a sound, but even so, he couldn't hide from being discovered in a moment, he thought about it, and definitely took the risk of rushing out.
Just as Li Dong was about to step forward, he was pulled a hand from behind, and then he saw that there was a gap in the wall behind him, and that hand was stretched out from it. That hand was very tender and slippery, and at first glance he knew that it was the girl's arm, looking at this arm, Li Dong was stunned, he didn't know whether to follow her into the crack, but the sound of hurried footsteps behind him didn't allow him to think about it.
Without hesitation, he drilled into the crack, and the whole person rolled down a narrow passage, until his feet hit the ground, and he realized that he was in a secret room, and the secret room was lit with gems, the light was bright, but it was not dazzling at all. Under the luster of that jewel, a melon seed face, a pointed jaw, and a pair of large dark and bright eyes appeared, staring at him.
Seeing this face, Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and then took a long breath and said: "I didn't expect to meet a girl here again", he remembered that she was the woman who rode a tiger yesterday.
She was wearing a red dress today, which was even more charming and moving, her clever eyes stared at Li Dong, with an expression on her face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Seeing her like this, Li Dong really couldn't believe what her purpose was when she got herself here. Especially thinking of her posture when she rode a tiger and played rattan ball yesterday, I felt that this girl would definitely not be as simple as an ordinary girl.
"Hehe, I also wanted to sneak into the hall just now, only to happen to bump into you actually painting on the face of the ancestor and grandfather" She said this, as if she remembered something happy, and couldn't help but hide her mouth and laugh.
"Now that you've seen it, then what are you going to do with me" Li Dong guessed from the girl's clothes and the important place where she could enter the Five Peerless Gates, and she must also be a member of the Five Peerless Gates, and her identity is not ordinary.
"Why should I deal with you, in fact, I wanted to paint the face of the grandfather in the ancestor, but I never had the courage" She said this, and those eyes actually cast a trace of envy at Li Dong.
Li Dong never dreamed that he would hear such an answer from the girl's mouth, and he really doubted that her identity was not a five-peer one. It was a statue of the patriarch, and she even wanted to draw on his face??
Regarding the girl's deviance, Li Dong didn't know whether to be happy or painful. He knew that although he was safe for the time being, he didn't know what would happen if he fell into the hands of such a girl.
"Do you want to go out?" the girl winked at him again, and a very sweet smile appeared on his innocent and lovely cheeks.
"Do you really have a way?" Although Li Dong knew that the girl's identity was not ordinary, he still didn't believe that she could let herself get out of such a tightly guarded Five Peerless Gate.
"Of course, what are I going to do if I bring you in?" said the girl in a confident tone.
"Okay, what conditions do you want me to exchange?" Li Dong naturally knew that this girl was definitely not just for fun to save herself.
"Give me your skill in weaving rattan balls, and I'll get you out," the girl's bright eyes flashed, and a smug smile appeared on her little face.
"Okay, I promise you" Li Dong did not hesitate at all, as for whether the girl could comprehend the rules of wood, it was no longer in his consideration.
After hearing this answer, the girl smiled sweetly at Li Dong with satisfaction, and led him out towards the flashing door. It turned out that there was a secret passage connected to the outside of this secret room, and they walked around the secret passage for a cup of tea before they walked out of the secret passage and came to the inconspicuous mountain rock outside the suspension bridge.
Outside the rocks, next to a large tree, a white tiger is tethered to a branch. The girl glanced around a few times, waved her hand to untie the rope, and climbed onto the tiger's back with Li Dong, running towards the opposite peak at an unparalleled speed. This tiger was almost flying in the air, it crossed the domain hundreds of zhang in one step, and in the blink of an eye, it flew out of this mountainous area that belonged to the Five Peerless Gates with Li Dong.
After traveling for dozens of miles, the girl pulled the reins, and the white tiger fell from the sky, and Li Dong landed on the ground with her. The girl raised her head, stared at Li Dong and said, "Now can you teach me how to weave rattan balls?"
Li Dong also nodded at her slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, a wooden rule as thin as a hair fell into the air on top of a vine, and then those vines began to grow arbitrarily, and finally entwined with each other into a vine ball.
Seeing such a magical scene, the girl clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Great, if I can knit a rattan ball for the tiger to play with every day, it must be very happy."
"This spell of weaving rattan balls, called the rules of the spirit, is a spell that is very difficult to comprehend, if you want to learn, I can teach it to you now" Li Dong pointed a little, and the rule of wood entered the girl's body.
She was also a cultivator, so she naturally knew that this was the way to pass on the exercises, so she immediately sat down cross-legged and comprehended the thread of the rules with her state of mind.
The girl meditated for a while, her brows furrowed tightly, she suddenly opened her eyes, and pointed at Li Dong angrily: "You lie to people, this is not a spell at all."
Facing the little girl's accusation, Li Dong smiled slightly and said: "Of course this is not a spell, this is a spiritual technique that is several realms higher than the spell, what you want to learn, I have taught you without reservation, can I go now?"
"No, you are not allowed to go anywhere until I have comprehended the spiritual magic you said" The girl jumped up from the ground nervously, and reached out and grabbed his shirt.
"Are you mistaken? I have been accompanying you to comprehend the spiritual silk? That is the highest comprehension of the spiritual realm, and it will take more than ten years to touch the door with your realm," in fact, Li Dong said this, he was already afraid of angering the girl, and deliberately left her a glimmer of hope.
The reason why he was able to comprehend the spirit silk at that time was because his immortal soul could be killed millions of times, and every time he was killed, there would be a trace of the spirit rule accepted by his immortal soul, which made him comprehend the spirit rule in the mortal immortal realm.
But all this girl didn't know, she stared at Li Dong with extremely disbelieving eyes, as if Li Dong was a complete liar in her eyes at this time.
Li Dong shook his head helplessly, and had to patiently explain to her the rules of spirit, as well as everything about spiritual arts, these things are naturally impossible to obtain information on such a third-class planet. The girl also listened very patiently, she seemed to be very interested in what Li Dong said about the charm, the thumb woman.
At this moment, the hidden mark on Li Dong's forehead lit up inexplicably, and then Li Dong felt depressed, as if he knew that something bad was going to happen.
"Now do you understand? It's not that I'm deceiving you, but this kind of spiritual art is indeed not something that can be comprehended for a while, but I have implanted that trace of the rule of wood into your body, as long as you have enough understanding, you will definitely be able to comprehend the rules of the spirit silk at that time."
At this time, the girl was not so resistant to Li Dong's explanation, she thought about it, and said: "As long as you help my tiger weave enough vine balls, I will let you go."
Li Dong had no choice but to agree, maybe this was her last bottom line. He walked to the woods, and began to weave the rattan balls. Hesitating, his comprehension of the rules of the spirit is still in the infancy, and every time he uses the rules of the spirit, there must be an interval of time before he can continue.
In order to weave enough rattan balls for the girl, Li Dong had no choice but to stay with her in the forest. In order to hide from the mosquitoes outside, he also weaved two wooden huts with spiritual silk for them to stay at night.
At night, Li Dong discovered the peculiarity of this planet, it turned out that there were only a few very bright stars, they were as big as eyeballs, and they looked like night pearls inlaid in the night sky.
The girl couldn't sleep either, and took a freshly roasted sweet potato in her hand and ate it next to Li Dong. While eating the sweet potato, she pointed to the sky and said, "Do you know the name of that one?"
Li Dong shook his head, but his gaze involuntarily looked towards the shining bead in the sky.
"That one is called Canglong, he is the brightest of the ten stars, and he is also the strongest Qi cultivator in the entire Earth Xuan Star," the girl said with a look of adoration on her face.
"Canglong, is he a human name?" Li Dong asked as he stared at the girl in surprise.
"Of course, as long as the Qi Practitioner cultivates to the Nine Xuan Realm, he will refine a natal star bead, which will become the brightest star in the night sky, for hundreds of millions of people to admire, and that one is the natal star bead of the dragon."
Li Dong was stunned again when he heard this, he didn't expect that bright star to be transformed by a Qi Refiner's natal orb.
"Then the other nine are also Qi Cultivator's natal orbs?" Li Dong asked in a very suspicious tone.
"There are only eight yes, and one is not, it turned out to be the inner dan of an alien alchemist" Listening to the girl's explanation, Li Dong suddenly felt that his cognition had been completely subverted, before he thought that there was only the existence of a soul refiner, but then he fused his memory and knew about the qi practitioner, and now there is another alien alchemist.
It seems that in the vast universe, there are still many mysteries that he can't see, and he doesn't pay special attention to the bead formed by the alien alchemist in the sky.
After careful observation, he found that it was different from other beads, although its color was also that kind of silvery white, but it was slightly variegated. There also seemed to be a glow around it, which felt like a layer of mist was always shrouded in its surface.
On closer inspection, Li Dong found more differences between it and several other beads, and it seemed that what the girl said was true. They were really refined by someone, condensing the celestial phenomena with the power of one person, this kind of cultivation method, Li Dong had never thought of before, and he didn't know what kind of mystery was hidden in it.
