There is a mountain in Zhongzhou called Chrysalis Mountain.

This chrysalis mountain has this name, because of the shape of the mountain, all the mountains are like standing up insect chrysalis, the mountain is still maroon-red, as if rusty, and like it is covered with blood.

Holes have been opened in these mountains, and in each of them there are some 'people' living in them.

And at the foot of this chrysalis mountain, there is a market-like existence, where all kinds of things are sold, and of course there is food, and the 'people' here are all like people and non-people.

There is a simple restaurant, there is a girl lying there drinking, this girl is different from the people here, because she looks very clean, unlike the other 'people' here, they all exude a smell, and not like the other 'people' who always have something that is not human.

It's just that no one dares to underestimate her, and no one dares to provoke her, this comes from everyone's intuition.

She seemed to be drunk, lying on the table and spinning the flask.

Suddenly, her whole body trembled violently, her eyes rolled up, revealing the whites of her eyes, and she quickly slipped under the table, and at the same time the flask rolled to the ground and shattered with a snap, the sound alarming the only bartender in the room.

The bartender was an old man, but he had gray hair on his face, like a big horse monkey, he was bent over, and the back of his hand was also sparsely gray, he looked at the girl who slipped on the ground, just watched vigilantly, and did not approach.

There are a lot of strange things in the chrysalis mountain, if others encounter something, don't get close, you have to wait for a while, wait until the other party is dead and then get closer, or the other party comes back to life.

Outside, two monkeys were fighting with a fox, and the fox was surrounded in the middle, and there were 'people' on the side, shouting.

It was extremely lively outside, but it was quiet inside, and the big monkey-like bartender held a water scoop in his hand, and looked at the trembling and twisted girl under the table in a daze.

He was waiting for the moment when the girl died, and then dragged her back to the back room to eat her, he had wanted to eat the girl for a long time.

But he didn't wait for the result he wanted, the trembling on the girl's body stopped, and then she got up, and he felt a strange aura reviving from her.

It was as if something had sprouted in her body.

The girl smiled happily, and the bartender couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Because I'm happy." There was something other than innocence on the girl's face.

"What did you do?" The bartender's eyes were filled with fear, but he still asked.

"It's because I'm free." The girl came to the door and looked up at the sky: "This world, I have come, and everyone will remember my name-He Huanzhen, fortunately!" ”

After saying that, her figure quickly blurred in the sunlight, and then disappeared quietly, the big horse monkey-like man was stunned, he shook his head, wondering if he was dazzled, but the broken wine jug on the ground told him that all this was true.

However, the whole process was only seen by him.

……

The people of the Great Zhou royal family came to Jianling Mountain, and then came to the small courtyard where Zhou Yanxun lived, and at this time the small courtyard was already a piece of ashes.

The person who came was an old man, who looked very old at a glance, with gray hair, and wore a red crown with his hair coiled, but he had a ruddy face, skin like a baby, and was wearing a scarlet robe, a silver belt around his waist, and a pair of red cloud climbing boots under his feet.

He looked at the Chengtian Hall in front of him, which had been burned to ruins, his face was very bad, Shan Xinfang was standing behind him, frowning slightly, he knew who this person was.

He is in the Zhou royal family, a person who specializes in handling various things for the royal family, named Zhu Quan, and he also has a name called Zhu Dajian, his life deeds are very secret, and not many people know about it, even Shan Xinfang doesn't know much.

On the list of human cultivators, he ranked twenty-seventh and had a great reputation, but he lived in seclusion in the palace for many years and rarely walked between mountains and rivers, so there were many people who had heard his name, but few had seen others.

And this time he arrived at Sword Spirit Mountain.

"Who killed the Seventh Princess?" Zhu Quan's voice was cold.

Shan Xinfang's brows furrowed, and he could hear that there was a hint of Xingshi's questioning in this tone.

"What do you mean, Eunuch? Although the Seventh Princess is a member of the royal family, she has been a disciple of my Sword Spirit Mountain since the day she entered my Sword Spirit Mountain, and she was bewitched by the 'Secret Spirit', causing the entire Sword Spirit Mountain to be almost destroyed......

"Let me ask you, who killed the Seventh Princess?"

Shan Xinfang's words hadn't finished yet, and Zhu Quan had already interrupted him.

Shan Xinfang is actually also a person in the Six Realms, but he is in the ninety-eighth place, and he has always believed in that person's cultivation list, but also has a certain suspicion.

It wasn't until Lou Jinchen, who was also ranked twenty-third on the Human Cultivation List, entered Sword Spirit Mountain and killed Zhou Yanxun that he knew how big the gap between the same six realms was.

He himself had been up the mountain, but he was embarrassed and fled, so he invited friends to help.

At this time, he was interrupted by Zhu Quan, who was ranked twenty-seventh on this person's cultivation list, and after asking mercilessly, his face was hot, and a wave of anger swelled up, but there was another voice telling him that he had to endure it.

"Although the Seventh Princess is practicing in Sword Spirit Mountain, everyone in the world knows that she is a member of the royal family, and you dare to kill her like this, which is clearly not to take the Great Zhou royal family in your eyes!"

Zhu Quan turned around and looked at Shan Xinfang with a pair of cold eyes, and Shan Xinfang's body suddenly chilled.

Shan Xinfang is also a person who has experienced wind and rain, although he is frightened, but he has not messed up his mind, and he sticks to his own thoughts with the method of 'absolute god', and communicates with the spirit sword in his sleeve, and he will go out of the sword at any time.

"Although the sword of Sword Spirit Mountain has a unique way, it is a pity that those who are famous for their swordsmanship are dead, and they are still far away." Zhu Quan said coldly.

"I wonder what the eunuch means here?" Shan Xinfang also asked stiffly.

"If you don't say it, I also know that the Seventh Princess was killed by Lou Jinchen, and the Great Zhou royal family will naturally not give up, however, I heard that he left a manuscript for condensing sword pills in Jianling Mountain, you hand it over, and then follow me to the capital, as long as the emperor is happy, maybe you will be able to avoid death!" Zhu Quan said unhurriedly.

However, when these words were heard in Shan Xinfang's ears, it was also like crushing his heart with a cold stone mill.

"Sword Spirit Mountain has been in the Zhongzhou faction for thousands of years, and there was already Sword Spirit Mountain before the Great Zhou, and the eunuch is so persecuted, it is really too deceitful." Shan Xinfang said: "Aren't you afraid of the mouths of the various factions in Zhongzhou? ”

"Hehe, you're really a waste, haven't you ever thought about why there is such a big thing in Sword Spirit Mountain, and no one has come to help you quell the 'Secret Spirit Rebellion' in this mountain? The millennium faction has few real friends, sad and pitiful. ”

Shan Xinfang's heart was in a mess, he didn't think about it, but he didn't want to think about it deeply, just because the world was hot and cold, and others saw that his Sword Spirit Mountain had been defeated, so he was unwilling to stand up for a defeated Sword Spirit Mountain.

Is there really a deeper secret here?

"What do you mean? Could it be that Zhou Yan's search for Sword Spirit Mountain was all a conspiracy? "Shan Xinfang had also listened to some of the conversations of the division commanders, and among them was the matter of whether Zhou Yan could be accepted into the Sword Spirit Mountain.

One of the elders said that as long as everyone was there, what would a Zhou Yan get if he found it in Sword Spirit Mountain.

But the elder who said this died in the turmoil of that night.

"This can only be blamed on your Sword Spirit Mountain for being too arrogant, this is the price of arrogance." Before Zhu Quan's words fell, Shan Xinfang's heart was once again in turmoil, but Zhu Quan's eyes were as white as frost and snow.

The whiteness in his eyes spread out of his eyes, forming a circle of frost flowers, which were like scales, which was extremely strange.

The void began to freeze, and when Shan Xinfang saw his eyes, a cold cold rose in his heart.

Then he seemed to hear the wind from the depths of the bitter cold, as if he saw the vastness of a land of ice and snow, and in the depths of that vast man was shouting: "Winter! ”

When he heard the word 'winter', his whole person was already frozen, and the hand holding the sword in his sleeve had been frozen in ice, inside and outside together, frozen in an instant, like a sculpture.

At this time, a person quickly ran over, knelt on the ground, and said, "Meet the eunuch, Shan Xinfang will take the condensation sword pill technique left by Lou Jinchen with him." ”

This person is none other than Shan Ziyou, a disciple of Shan Xinfang.

"Yes, you will follow me in the future, serve as a good student, and have your own future in cultivation." Zhu Quan said with a gloomy smile.

"Eunuch Xie, the disciple must serve with all his heart." Shan Ziyou worshiped happily.

This scene, some other people on Sword Spirit Mountain saw it, they were dumbfounded one by one, and after being stunned for a moment, they turned around and fled one by one, but Zhu Quan didn't pay attention to it, just took out a treasure bag from Shan Xinfang's body, and said: "You look for his sword, and it will be yours in the future." ”

Shan Ziyou was overjoyed: "Thank you for your love!" ”

Zhu Quan's Dharma thoughts poured on the treasure bag like ice water, and the treasure bag was opened after a while, and he took out a roll of paper, but it was blank.

When he poured the treasure bag outside, he dropped a lot of things, but none of them were books that wrote the technique of 'Condensing Sword Pills'.

His face changed and he said, "No." ”

In addition, Shan Ziyou, who was snatching the sword from Shan Xinfang's hand, saw this scene, his face changed, he was also a little panicked, and said: "How could it not be, eunuch, I saw him put the manuscript into the treasure bag with my own eyes!" ”

Zhu Quan's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "It's a fact that you're not here, where do you say if you're not here?" ”

"If it's not here, it's only at Bai Yejian." Shan Ziyou said.

"Where is the Hakuya Sword?" Zhu Quan asked.

"Bai Yejian went down the mountain the night before yesterday, and I don't know where he went, and it is very likely that he returned to his secluded home." Shan Ziyou said eagerly.

"Yes, say the address, I hope you can make up for it." A cold light flashed in Zhu Quan's eyes.

"The little ones will never dare to have half a lie......"

……

Bai Yejian also went down the mountain the day after Lou Jinchen went down the mountain.

It's just that when he went down the mountain, he went to talk to Shan Xinfang, thinking that he was going to use his lips and tongue to persuade his uncle, but his uncle Shan Xinfang agreed after muttering for a while.

And also asked him to go down the mountain with the manuscript of the 'Condensing Sword Pill' written by Lou Jinchen.

He asked why in surprise, but Shan Xinfang said that he didn't know why, and there was a feeling of panic in his heart.

The uneasiness in his heart came from his spirit sword.

The reason why the sword of Sword Spirit Mountain is called Spirit Sword is that those swords will bring some abilities to the sword master to a greater or lesser extent.

For example, his sword can bring him some warning signs, and it is this kind of warning that allows him to avoid many deadly dangers.

So he asked, "Since Uncle Shi is uneasy, why don't you go down the mountain with me?" Why bother rebuilding the mountain gate? ”

"There are only a few of us left in the entire Sword Spirit Mountain, I am the longest, who will stand up if I don't stand up? For a long time, I have deeper doubts about the civil strife in our Sword Spirit Mountain, and I always feel that there is a pair of invisible hands provoking our Sword Spirit Mountain, not only the role of the 'Sword Spirit'. ”

"If I stay, I may be able to get in touch with some insider secrets, but it may also be that I think too much and think too much, and it is inevitable that I will have delusions, which will affect the spirit sword." Shan Xinfang said.

That night, Bai Yejian went down the mountain with the manuscript of 'Condensing Sword Pill'.

He went all the way towards Qingyuan Mansion.

Qingyuan Mansion is a big house, with a large population, under the jurisdiction of six counties, the terrain of the entire Qingyuan Mansion is a basin, there is a river passing here, the rain is abundant, the weather is humid and hot, it is a large grain producing house.

The capital city of Qingyuan Mansion, No. 17 Yangmeilong Road.

Someone suddenly came that day, and quickly took control of a young couple in the room.

After some interrogation, it was determined that the couple was the residence of the newly purchased one, and they were asked where their original owners had gone, and they did not know.

These people had to leave, and not long after, someone came to the south of Qingyuan Mansion, outside a secluded small courtyard near the city wall, and in the dark, you could see that there were lights in this small courtyard.

And there is a plaque hanging on the gate of this small courtyard, on which are written a few words with a bit of grass - Autumn Cicada Academy.

"Autumn Cicada Academy? Have you heard of it? Someone in the darkness asked.

"Haven't you heard of Autumn Cicada Academy? A big faction with a long heritage in Dongzhou. Someone scoffed.

"The sect of Dongzhou, the remote place in Dongzhou, where will I know." The person who spoke at the beginning said angrily: "Did the people from Dongzhou also come to our Zhongzhou to stir things up?" It's a long time. ”

"Maybe I have some skills."

"Are you sure that Bai Yejian's wife is here?"

"You don't believe it or what? You can go to the yamen and ask Master Turtle again. ”

"Don't, who dares, Master Turtle's divination skills are still very accurate, it can be said that Master Turtle is not good in bed, but you must not say that he is not accurate in divination."

At this moment, several cat meows were heard in the darkness.

"It's closed, let's get moving." After the man finished speaking, he let out a few vivid dog barks.

It's like there's a dog or cat in the area ready to fight.

"Up!"

In the darkness, there were people in the south, south, and northwest who climbed over the courtyard walls, and of course there were people who did not climb over, and they guarded the outside, not only for support, but also to prevent the people inside from rushing out, so as to ambush and block them.

In the hospital.

Chen Jin sat there reading a book, but there seemed to be a sudden string plucking in his heart, the lights around him jumped, he immediately put the book in his hand, reached out to grab the lamp, and then threw it outside, the fire scattered into a little flame, and it was going in all directions, like a goddess scattering flowers.

The firelight dispersed into the darkness, illuminating the courtyard clearly in an instant.
