At the end of summer, the heat has not dissipated, and the sun of Dusu Mountain is hot and scorching over people's heads.

The mountain road of Dusu Mountain is steep, the bone stone is towering, between the two cliffs, a water stream is from top to bottom, and the splashing stream hits the cyan rock, flying into small water droplets.

A group of cars stopped under the shade of trees next to the stream, and passers-by were fetching water by the stream. This is the carriage of the Yuecheng Wang's family, which is on its way to the Taiyan Sect, a great sect of cultivating immortals in Duzhou, to select disciples.

The Taiyan faction is one of the major sects of the Duzhou Immortal Cultivation Sect, and in the ten-year selection competition, the best people from all over the city of the capital will gather here, each showing their magical powers, just to get ahead in the selection competition, and then enter the road of cultivating immortals.

The young city lord of Yuecheng, Wang Shao, is sitting in the carriage at the moment, he is seventeen years old this year, and he is already a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and he is only one step away from building the foundation triple. There are still dozens of days left before Gu Fengshan in the selection competition, and these dozens of days, as long as they are nourished with elixir elixir every day, coupled with continuous cultivation, they may be able to enter the late stage of foundation building before the selection competition begins.

Wang Shao is the hope of the entire Yuecheng.

Yuecheng is a small border city, and in the map of the capital, you can't even see the existence of this city. It has been many years since there have been monks in the city who have successfully entered the golden pill stage. Wang Shao refined qi at the age of ten, and built the foundation at the age of twelve, and it took five years to build the foundation from the first to the second foundation. If he can successfully break through this time, he will be the first genius in Yuecheng to enter the late stage of foundation building before the age of eighteen, and if he can successfully enter the Taiyan faction and become a disciple of the Taiyan faction, the people of the entire Yuecheng will follow suit.

Therefore, the spirit stones, elixirs, and elixirs in the entire Yuecheng were all used as tributes to this genius.

Beside Wang Shao, there is also a good-looking girl in green, this is Wang Shao's fiancée, Yang Haixing, the eldest lady of the Yang family in Yuecheng. This time, I accompanied Wang Shao to the Taiyan faction selection competition. Miss Yang didn't have much interest in cultivating immortals, and she was about the same age as Wang Shao, but she was in the early stage of qi refining. For the women of Yuecheng, instead of cultivating hard, it is better to marry a monk husband, who can not only be honored, but also able to eat and dress without worry, and be respected.

"Ah Shao, let's have some tea." Miss Yang smiled and brought a cup of tea to Wang Shao's mouth.

Wang Shao's gaze fell on the other end, stood up and said, "I'll go out for a while." ”

He threw up his sleeves and got out of the carriage, Miss Yang looked at the direction he was going, her delicate face suddenly showed a little hideous, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That fox spirit!" ”

The maid came up and asked worriedly, "Miss, shouldn't the young city lord want to accept that woman?" ”

"She's dreaming!"

Wang Shao walked for a while, stopped, and looked at the girl in the yellow dress sitting against the tree. This woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was born very beautiful, and her skin was a little pale, and she looked more and more weak and moving. Wang Shao looked at her, suddenly evoked a smile, and asked, "Miss Liu, it's so hot outside, do you want to sit in the city lord's carriage?" ”

Liu Yunxin was a little afraid of him, and replied timidly: "Thank you for the kindness of the young city lord, no need, it's good here." ”

Liu Yunxin also accompanied her brother Mu Jiexiao to participate in the Taiyan faction selection competition. Mu Jiexiao and Liu Yunxin are not biological brothers and sisters, Liu Yunxin's parents took in the orphan Mu Jiexiao, and after the death of the Liu family couple, the brother and sister depended on each other. Wang Shao has long taken a fancy to Liu Yunxin's beauty, but Liu Yunxin's family is poor and unworthy of his identity, so it is impossible to be a wife, but to be a concubine...... It's still more than enough.

It's a pity that Liu Yun didn't know what to do, and turned a blind eye to his overtures repeatedly, not only that, but her brother Mu Jiexiao also guarded him like a thief, so that he couldn't find a chance to start.

No, he had just said a few words to Liu Yunxin, and when Mu Jiexiao, who was fetching water, saw this, he immediately strode over, blocked in front of Wang Shao, and said angrily: "Wang Shao, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Shao looked at the shepherd layer in front of him.

The sword eyebrows and starry eyes of the young man's life, the facial features are handsome, although he is wearing patched clothes, there is a clear and resolute spirit between his eyebrows and eyes. I heard that he was also refining qi at the age of eight, and he was also favored by the people of Yuecheng back then, thinking that he was another genius seedling. But to this day, he has not been able to build a foundation.

"Miss Liu, I heard that you are not in good health," Wang Shao was not angry, but smiled at Liu Yunxin gracefully: "Brother Ling wants to enter the Taiyan Sect, I am afraid that it is for the elixir in the sect to cure your illness." Although you brothers and sisters have a deep affection, I can understand it, but ......" He glanced at Mu Jiexiao contemptuously: "Don't you feel a little naïve to pin your hopes on the waste that hasn't even broken through the foundation?" It's better to be my woman, and when the city lord enters the Taiyan faction in the future, you can use the elixir and elixir there......"

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Mu Jiexiao interrupted him and said angrily: "Shameless! ”

"What qualifications does a waste have to say to others?"

The two of them were tense, and when they were about to draw their swords against each other, suddenly, an exclamation came from the side of the water stream: "Young city lord, it's not good...... You, come and see! ”

The two of them, who were arguing, looked together towards the stream.

The weather was fine and there was not a hint of wind. The water stream goes down, the stream is like flying up Bailian, and there seems to be a black shadow passing by the water surface faintly. The next moment, several black shadows flew up from the surface of the water, burrowing into the shadows of people. Immediately afterward, a series of screams rang out.

"It hurts—"

"Ahh

"My eyes, my eyes!"

The horses and chariots were suddenly frightened and tried to run forward, but the reins were tied to the trees, and the people in the carriage fell out. Miss Yang ran out of the ground with a roll, hid behind Wang Shao, and asked in panic, "Oh my God, what is this?" ”

"This is the Demon Beast 'Domain'." Mu Jiexiao muttered.

"What is a 'domain'?" Wang Shao frowned.

"It's a kind of monster in the legend.,Will hide in the water and secretly harm people.,'Domain' has sand grains in its mouth.,Can shoot people.。 Those who are shot will have sores, and those who are shot in the shadow will die! Mu Layer Xiao ran to the water stream without looking back: "I'll save those people, Wang Shao, you protect Yunxin, don't let it touch your shadow!" ”

Wang Shao looked at Mu Jiexiao's back, pulled Liu Yunxin back, and didn't forget to laugh: "I've never seen a fool who rushed to his death!" ”

At this moment, the gap between the two cliffs suddenly swelled, and the water suddenly reached their feet, as if to submerge the land where they were. At the same time, the dark shadow under the stream became more and more obvious. Only a few sounds of "puff puff" were heard, and the surrounding maids and followers screamed miserably, dyeing a large area of stream water.

Wang Shao was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran, where could he take care of his fiancée and Liu Yunxin. Liu Yunxin was already sick and weak, and she was out of breath after escaping a few steps, and when Miss Yang saw this, her eyes darkened, and she pulled Liu Yunxin's shoulder with one hand, and was about to push Liu Yunxin into the water.

A small drop of water fell out of the splashing stream and shattered on the mossy rock, but in an instant, it was reduced to the appearance of a dewdrop.

Liu Yunxin screamed in surprise and his eyes widened.

A hand grabbed her arm.

Liu Yunxin turned around and saw that Miss Yang was firmly holding her arm, with undisguised concern in her eyes: "Are you okay?" ”

She was stunned and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard someone behind her shouting: "Yunxin, run!" It's behind you! ”

The water surface rose suddenly, obviously flat, but it was like in the turbulent sea, splashing stream, Liu Yunxin turned around and saw the true face of "it", like a blurred black shadow, like a huge beetle, shrouded in a smoky water smell.

"Be careful!" A woman's exclamation was heard.

Liu Yunxin felt a push to push himself away, and the green shadow on his side was instantly swallowed by the black shadow.

The water gradually calmed down, and the damp land that overflowed the stream was basked by the sun, and the faint rainbow color was steaming, and everything seemed to be a phantom.

Liu Yunxin muttered, "Miss Yang...... Fell. ”
