On a winter afternoon, the warm sun hangs in the sky.

Qinglin Mountain is bathed in a pale gold.

A few birds jumped up and down the main hall, chirping and chirping.

Two fat cats bare their bellies, basking in the sun on a wall not far away.

The two sides live in harmony and do not invade each other, and neither of them looks at the other.

The two female disciples walked along the root of the wall, quietly sprinkled a handful of rice, opened the oiled paper bag in their hands, and threw a few pieces of leftover meat from noon on the side.

Birds and finches fell one after another, happily pecking rice.

even dared to fly around the female gold owner, without the slightest fear of life.

In contrast, the flower cat is much colder.

After a while, he jumped off the wall with his steps, slowly approached the minced meat, and first dug through the masonry with his paws for a while, and then bowed his head and reluctantly began to eat.

"Some of them are good to eat, and they dare to pick and choose!"

"That's it, I won't secretly feed you in the future."

Although the female disciple muttered and reached out to stroke the back of the oily and shiny flower cat, she looked satisfied and enjoyable.

Suddenly, one of them seemed to feel that something was wrong.

Hurriedly pulled the corner of his companion's coat and motioned for her to look in a certain direction.

The two of them slowly turned their heads, and they were stunned on the spot as if they had been immobilized.

"Dao, Dao Lord is good."

"I've seen Wei Daozi."

They stammered and babbled.

His face turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

"It's okay, you're busy with yours, don't worry about us."

Wei Tao retracted his gaze looking up at the northern sky, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "I have nothing to do with the Dao Master, so I will take a look at the sky here." ”

"Skyscape?"

The female disciple subconsciously turned her head, followed their gaze, and immediately searched her stomach and said good words, "The blue sky is like a wash, the sky is clear, the wind is harmonious, the sky is bright, and the Taoist master and the Taoist vassal are elegant, which is really admired and worshiped by the disciples." ”

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "This little girl is very interesting to talk about, and she will be a big weapon in the future." ”

Speaking of this, he asked again, "Do you see the sky in the north as it did before?" ”

She stared at the sky and said categorically, "Of course there are changes, but there are big changes." ”

"Oh?"

Ning Xuanzhen, who had been silent, suddenly retracted his gaze and slowly asked, "Can even you notice the change, it seems that this time the matter is indeed very big." ”

Wei Tao's brows furrowed, "Tell me, what is the change?" ”

Being stared at by the two, she suddenly became even more nervous.

His fingers kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, and he said cautiously, "If you go back to Daozi, a few days ago it was still covered with dark clouds, and the wind was howling and the snow was flying. ”

"What you say makes a lot of sense, it's a big change."

Wei Tao slowly exhaled a turbid breath and looked up at the northern sky again.

In his eyes, it was very different from what she saw.

At the end of the northern skyline, the golden light is magnificent, like a colorful glow reflecting the void, revealing a beautiful scenery that ordinary people cannot see.

But in this extreme splendor, there is a turbulent image.

It is like a precursor to prosperity and decline, and it will be divided for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a soft click.

appeared at the same time in the hearts of Ning Xuanzhen and Wei Tao.

The faces of the two suddenly changed again.

Ning Xuanzhen immediately closed his eyes, his hands were mixed with the Yuan Wuji Seal, and he was in a state of concentration facing the north.

Wei Tao's figure flashed, and in an instant, he had already reached the top of the Qinglin Palace.

He formed the Flame Lotus Seal, and the Red Lotus Karma Fire quietly emerged to know the sea, and at the same time, he used all his strength to control the Divine Gaze Qi Technique, and the divine light in his eyes looked at the golden light.

Click!

There was another soft thud.

It also seems to appear directly in Wei Tao's heart.

He looked far away, and there was a faint inexplicable feeling, and there was turbulence in the depths of his consciousness, and he didn't know when he would break through the barrier and form a monstrous wave.

Click!

Just then, a third crisp sound was heard.

Wei Tao's eyes suddenly froze, and he could already vaguely see that in the depths of the golden glow, a looming crack appeared, no longer the same appearance as before.

Although the crack is extremely small and almost invisible, as long as it really exists, then for the Northern Wilderness Golden Horde, it is a major event that the sky will collapse.

Boom!

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The inexplicable feeling of excitement quietly rose from the deepest part of consciousness again.

Wei Tao inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly.

Caught in a state of extreme contradiction.

On the one hand, he is still very strong, and he feels full all over his body.

But at this moment, in the face of the change of the golden glow, he suddenly felt extremely hungry.

It was as if it was a fire of hunger from the depths of his soul, constantly burning his spirit, even if he ate it again, he would not be able to resist it.

"I have to speed up the progress of other exercises, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll become a madman who only knows how to eat.

If that's the case, what's the difference between it and those zombies who don't have sanity. ”

"What Xuanwu Dao Feng Xun Taishang said is not right, I don't know if there is a great disaster in the mysterious and mysterious silk now, but he can't even see such an obvious problem as the turtle and snake crossing?"

"It's still not right, but you can't blame Feng Xun for being short-sighted, after all, he didn't push the turtle and snake intersection all the way to more than ninety stages like me, so it's normal to not see what is hidden in the depths."

Wei Tao's thoughts kept flashing in his heart, and at the same time, he was carefully observing the golden glow of the northern sky.

After three crisp sounds like glass cracking, there was no other change there, and it was still fading and fading, and it seemed that it would return to normal celestial phenomena.

"After the New Year, after meeting my parents, I want to find an opportunity to enter the Northern Wilderness again to see what happened to them, and whether it is related to the so-called Xuanbing Sea cultivators."

Wei Tao thought of the blessed land of Bingquan Mountain not long ago.

If those mysterious and strange Xuanbing Sea warriors really crossed the Northern Wilderness and came to the territory of the Great Zhou in groups, even if he encountered it, it would be quite tricky, so he had to think about being in front and doing it in front of him, so that he could take precautions and take the lead when the situation changed.

However, the strength of the Golden Horde in the Northern Wilderness is strong, the number of masters in each department is also quite large, and coupled with the existence of Esoteric Buddhism, a single sea of Xuan Ice can cause such a big turmoil in Brahma's spiritual will, which is indeed a bit beyond imagination.

Wei Tao thought silently, waiting for the golden glow to disappear.

However, at this moment, an extremely pale black color quietly appeared, appearing in the golden light.

It casts a faint haze over the golden glow at the end of the sky.

It's like a drop of ink thrown into the water, rippling around it.

While disturbing the golden glow, it also injected dark and chaotic colors.

And with the appearance of the ink, the golden light that was gradually fading and fading suddenly surged, and fell heavily towards the darkness again and again.

"This strange feeling."

"As if by that black traction, the entire mountain gate is breathing rhythmically."

"Could it be that what the things under Qinglin Mountain have to do with the black that appeared in Brahma's spiritual will?"

"This black mass like ink, could it be the dark abyss opposite to the Great Brahma?"

Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look at the canyon under the cliff of Guanyuntai.

He saw that the earth's qi was surging, as if it was accompanied by a tsunami, and in an instant, it had enveloped the entire Yuanyi Inner Gate.

"Xiao Tao, there is a problem with the mountain gate, I must go to the town immediately to suppress it."

At this moment, Ning Xuanzhen's voice sounded slowly, and he seemed to be still forcibly suppressing some pain, "Let Senior Sister Yu handle the matter between you and Xiao Yan as appropriate, you can rest assured." ”

"What does the Dao Master need his disciples to do?" Wei Tao only asked this sentence.

After all, in the face of the major event of the change of the dense land and the surging of the earth's qi, the first thing that Lord Ning Dao thought of was the private matter of the Daozi under the door, which really made people not know what to say.

"You don't have to do anything, just remember to toast the old man with Xiao Yan when you look back."

Ning Xuanzhen just smiled, and then his tone was serious, "Remember, if there is really any situation that is difficult to deal with, you can escape with someone from the path."

The mountain gate is just a broken house piled up with stones and trees, and if you lose it, you will lose it, it's not a big deal, but if you die, you can't be resurrected, do you remember? ”

"The disciple remembered."

Wei Tao nodded, and just wanted to ask how to guard and suppress the secret land, but the whole person suddenly froze on the Qinglin Palace.

The next moment, he sensed hostility again.

It's even more intense and clear than when you go deep into the underground tunnels, as if it were substance.

What's more, in addition to his hostility, he also has the strange feeling of being watched by someone in the dark.

It was as if someone was really hiding in the shadows, casting a hostile gaze over him.

The delusion, which had not appeared for a long time, came without warning.

Quietly, Yuanyi was gone, Qinglin Mountain was gone, and even the cloudless and blue sky became completely different at this moment.

"The things under Qinglin Mountain, is it still alive?"

Wei Tao squinted his eyes sharply, and saw a pair of golden vertical pupils that occupied a large part of the sky, looking down on him condescendingly.

Boom!

He swallowed a large amount of saliva, neither dodging nor retreating, but straightened his body and stared at the huge golden pupils without flinching.

Time passed quietly.

I don't know how long it will be.

Maybe it's just a moment.

Suddenly, everything was back to normal.

The pair of golden pupils disappeared, and Qinglin Shan Yuan returned to Wei Tao's eyes again.

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, sat down on the roof of the Qinglin Hall at random, and looked at the rows of buildings in the mountain gate, and was a little stunned for a while.

"Those golden eyes may have something to do with the things under Qinglin Mountain."

"But, I want to eat it."

Wei Tao raised his hand to wipe away the saliva that didn't exist, and fell into thought again.

"I used to remember that Senior Sister Ni once said that the Taoist master Heaven and Man sympathetic rebirth and achievement of martial arts master have an inseparable relationship with the Great Brahma, and the pain suffered later is also caused by Brahma's spiritual will.

However, judging from the changes in the Northern Wilderness Brahma and the appearance of the Dark Abyss today, what really has an impact on the Dao Lord is actually more likely to be the Dark Abyss. ”

"No, I didn't get to the point, I didn't get to the root of the problem.

Thinking about it at a deeper level, it may not be that the Dao Lord has been affected by the Dark Abyss, but the source of the earthly qi of Qinglin Mountain, which seems to be implicated in the Dark Abyss.

It's no wonder that in Senior Sister Ni's cultivation, Dao Master and Granny Yu have always been quite cautious, and instead of urging her to be diligent, they have dragged it back again and again, and they have spent a lot of time just practicing dirty and perfect. ”

Thinking of this, Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved.

Just now, the earth qi was surging, and both he and Ning Dao Master had a clear perception, so Senior Sister Ni, who was in the realm of Xuan Sense, was she affected by the erosion of delusions?

He stood up suddenly, and came to His Royal Highness Qinglin in one step, his figure flashed out of the Dao Afterimage, and in an instant, he had already arrived in front of the courtyard where Ni Yan lived.

Wei Tao was about to reach out and knock on the door, but stopped at the last moment.

He gathered all his qi and watched with bated breath.

This small courtyard seems to have a life of its own, following a certain rhythm and rhythm to breathe.

At that moment, there was a soft creak.

The courtyard door was gently opened from the inside.

A slender and tall figure stood behind the door and looked over with a smile on his face.

The two looked at each other in the void, intersecting in one place, as if they were not separated from each other.

Wei Tao stared at those quiet and deep eyes, and seemed to see a fleeting light golden light from them.

Boom!

Almost irrepressible, he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Looking at the senior sister standing there quietly, for the first time in her life, she wanted to figure out what she meant by beautiful food.

After a few breaths, Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, swept away the inexplicable thoughts that rose in his heart, and a happy smile appeared on his face, "Congratulations to Senior Sister, Senior Sister Hexi, natural sympathetic rebirth, and achievement of martial arts grandmaster." ”

"Senior Brother Wei comes with me."

Ni Yan stepped forward, grabbed his sleeve and entered the door, and sat down on either side of the stone table in the center of the courtyard.

She took the teacup from the house and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Wei Tao took a sip of the cup, "Senior sister just entered the Xuangan when she entered the winter, and she stepped into the level of the grandmaster of the sympathy of heaven and man before the New Year's Festival. ”

"Compared to my junior brother's achievements, I'm nothing."

Ni Yan smiled, his expression was still calm, and even a little calm.

She held the porcelain cup in both hands and said slowly in thought, "Ever since I entered the mountain gate, I have always had a fairly accurate perception of my own cultivation progress.

For example, when the qi and blood are transformed, when the practice is perfect, even the last time I went down the mountain to enter the Xuan sense, it is all in my prediction and control. ”

Ni Yan raised his head and suddenly sighed, "However, this time to capture and perceive the true meaning of Xuan Nian, the sympathy between heaven and man to achieve the Grandmaster, is completely beyond my expectations.

This feeling is like the mystical idea corresponding to the secret method of this sect is right in front of me, as long as I touch it lightly, I can get it in my hand, which is easier than effortless. ”

"Senior Brother Wei, do you know that I was actually retreating at the last moment."

She put down the teacup in her hand and helped Wei Tao refill it again, "Facing the realm of grandmasters at my fingertips, my first feeling is not joy, but doubt.

Although I have always had a very high opinion of myself, I think that with my natural talents, qualifications, and mental perseverance, it is absolutely undoubted that I will become a Grandmaster of Yuanyi.

But it shouldn't be like now, it's not that I have to make efforts to climb up, but I haven't yet reached the mountain, but the mountain has come to me, and the plum blossoms have bloomed without the bitter cold. ”

Ni Yan watched Wei Tao drink tea slowly, while he kept holding the tea cup that was gradually getting colder.

"I still remember that before the first time I went down the mountain to practice, my mother-in-law once said to me that if you have nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief."

"So I don't want such a martial arts master."

However, just because the goal of my heart was in front of me, and it was easy to get it, I hesitated for a moment.

Then, when I thought about closing the door and leaving like the Lord of Qingfeng Guanli, the true meaning of the Mixed Yuan Chapter, which was so rich that it was like a substance, actually took the initiative to submerge into the depths of my consciousness, and I didn't even have time to dodge. ”

"Senior brother, in this situation, what do you think I should do next?"

She lowered her eyes, her voice sounding a little confused for the first time, and she lost her previous firm and clear appearance.

"Don't do it, what goes into the hands of the senior sister is the senior sister's own things."

Wei Tao turned his head to the north, and after a while, he looked in the direction where Qinglin's back mountain was located, and finally his gaze fell on Ni Yan, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is indeed a problem with this martial arts true intent, Senior Sister doesn't need to have any worries and anxieties."

Whoever dares to come and stab him, the junior brother will stand up and beat whoever is killed, and the senior sister only needs to watch from behind me. ”

After a pause, he took a deep breath, "Even if it's something underground, if it's interesting, forget it, if you don't know what's wrong, as long as you give me some time to grow and develop, my junior brother can smash it and eat it cleanly." ”

"Where did Senior Brother Wei go?"

"If you come here, you will be safe, what I am thinking about is not whether there will be any changes in the future, but that this breakthrough improvement is completely beyond my control, and I am a little confused for a while.

After all, the teacher used to say that the worst is just to boil, if you can't survive, then you will die, I am neither afraid of boiling, nor afraid of death, then there will be no problem. ”

As she spoke, she looked directly into Wei Tao's eyes, "Senior Brother Wei has already told me that I want to participate in a Fa together, I have fought with the Northern Wilderness Martial Artists repeatedly, and then I broke through the realm and stepped into the Xuan Sense, neither physically nor mentally have reached perfection, so I have been dragging it down."

However, today, Senior Sister has already broken through the Realm Grandmaster, but all the above concerns have been eliminated at once. ”

Ni Yan said and smiled, suddenly like a hundred flowers blooming, extremely beautiful, "Senior Brother Wei is already in a hurry." ”

…………

……………………

The Northland Wasteland, the top of the snow-capped mountains.

There are majestic halls.

This is the Esoteric Mountain Gate, and it is also one of the several holy places in the Northern Wilderness.

Near the edge of the cliff, there is a tall and majestic building.

The gilded windows, the carved lattices, seem to have a spiritual light flowing slowly.

The dome is inlaid with two rows of pearls that are extremely rare in the Northern Wilderness, and the faint golden light reflects down, turning the entire hall into daylight.

Under each pearl, there is an incense burner Baoding.

Smoke rises from it, filling the entire hall with an intoxicating fragrance.

Illuminated by the golden light, the carvings on the four walls of the hall and the huge columns come to life.

The glow is shining, the sky is falling, and the ground is surging with golden lotus.

It is as if the historical picture scrolls full of vicissitudes of life slowly unfold as they go deeper into the hall.

There was a crunch and a creak.

The door to the main hall was slowly pushed open.

A young man in a white monk's robe walked in from outside.

He made his way through the carpet on the floor to the deepest wall.

Facing dozens of Buddha statues of different shapes, the young man slowly sat cross-legged, silently chanting.

Joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, and depression, the statues have different expressions and expressions.

What's more, they are as vivid as living people, and even the pupils and hairs are vivid, not like they are carved from stone, wood and metal.

Little by little, time passed.

Syllable!

Without warning, a pearl was full of cracks and quickly dimmed.

Immediately after that, a crackling sound sounded at the same time, forming a string.

The entire hall suddenly went dark, and it fell into darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.

An inexplicable sense of depression fills all the space.

There seems to be an inexplicable aura flowing quietly, like the water of a dark river surging endlessly.

Although the hall was empty, there seemed to be countless eyes focused little by little, all falling on the young monk in white clothes and white robes.

The young man opened his eyes and looked up.

In the deepest part of the darkness, dozens of pairs of eyes lit up, matching the gaze he had just bet on.

"Many years have passed, and finally this day has come."

He straightened up a little, a warm and flat smile on his face.

Click!

Click, click!

As the young man moved, all the statues slowly turned their heads, and their eyes were still focused on him.

This feeling of being watched by a silent face with vivid and different expressions will definitely make people feel extremely uncomfortable, and in an instant, they will feel cold all over the body, and a layer of fine goosebumps will rise.

But the young man didn't realize it, and the smile on his face even became more and more intense, and even gave birth to a hideous and distorted feeling.

Even the snow-white clothes he was wearing became pitch black at this moment, as if he was completely integrated with the surging darkness in the main hall, and they were no longer separated from each other.

Bang!

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded from outside.

Immediately afterwards, the closed door of the temple was pushed open.

Two red-robed and thin-faced monks stepped in.

"Who is causing chaos in the temple where the past masters sit and transform!?"

"You're actually zen!?"

The old monk's gaze on the left fell on the young man, and his expression, which was originally like a dry well, suddenly changed.

The other old monk's eyes were equally condensed, staring at the darkness surging in the deepest part of the hall, as if something in his heart suddenly cracked, making a crisp click.

"This feeling turned out to be the black abyss of Brahma suppressing opposition?"

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, raised his hand and pointed forward, "Zen Heart, as a Buddha of Esoteric Buddhism, you must not be eroded by evil spirits and mess up the Lingtai Qingming!" ”

"The bitter sea is boundless, turning back is the shore, you have not been deeply affected by the dark abyss, and it is still too late to turn back!"

"The two Elders of the Guardians are not at the same time."

Zen Xin smiled slightly, like a flower, "The disciple knows that the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore, but what is the sea of suffering and where is the shore, if you can't figure out these two questions, the so-called proverbs and scriptures are just deceptive nonsense." ”

"It's just a big rebellion, nonsense!"

The old monk sneered, "Then please ask the Zen Heart Buddha to tell us, what is the sea of suffering, and how to turn back?" ”

"Uncle Mengjie may not know that our Esoteric Sect was originally born from the abyss of darkness, and the so-called Brahma Spiritual Consciousness is the outsider behind it.

If you can't see the vanity clearly, you can only be deceived by the vanity, and you will be in the sea of suffering without knowing it, and then you will be considered to be violating the teachings of the Holy Religion, and even after death, you will not be able to attain bliss and enjoy yourself. ”

"Now that the Lord of the Golden Horde has activated the Brahma Dajiao several times at any cost, even if he can suppress and seal the rebellion of the Xuanbing Sea, it has also greatly consumed the existence of Brahma's spiritual will, so this is the best opportunity for us to break through the void and return to the world!"

Zen walked forward step by step, the darkness behind him surging wildly, and he disappeared into the many lifelike statues.

Click!

Click, click!

Dense cracks spread across the surface of the statue, revealing a golden body inside.

The next moment, as the dark aura continued to be injected, their movements stiffened, and they stood up little by little.

Zen smiled distorted, slowly raised his hand, and gently touched the door.

Swish!

A sudden flower in front of his eyes,

It was as if he had a dream.

It's like walking in endless darkness, with the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling.

Darkness continued to erode his physical body, and even his steadfastness in his mind after decades of meditation.

When he felt exhausted and could barely hold on, he finally came to the front of a twisted figure sitting cross-legged on an ink-colored lotus platform.

Meng Jie, standing there in a daze, suddenly rose in his heart.

That ink-colored lotus platform may be the end of his trip.

It may also be the end of his life.
