A wisp of twig shoots break through the snow and ice and burrow out of the cold and hard ground.

It then grows rapidly, bringing life to the neighborhood.

In the middle of the night when the cold wind is howling and the snow is falling, it seems that a blessed land has been carved out in the Nine Holy Mountains, and the spring flowers have bloomed inside, which is in stark contrast to the cold slaughter and silence of everything around.

Quietly, the sound of rustling sounded, and the young shoots began to diverge and fork, turning into countless transparent filaments that meandered and swam, and soon covered a wider area.

Immediately after, a figure slowly emerged from the ground.

It's like a plant breaking through the ground and sprouting, slowly stretching its slender body.

And in front of and around her, there were other people repeating the same action, and soon completely occupied this small piece of "blessed land".

"Senior Gui's method of constricting qi and concealing his body is really powerful."

"Not only did he hide from King Qinglian and Elder Hong, but even Wei Daozi, who appeared later, failed to find the clue."

Yunhong moved slightly, and all the foreign objects on her body disappeared without a trace, and her clothes were as neat as new, and there was no snow and dust.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the half of her body that was missing two legs and surging under her waist not far away, with an unchanged flat smile on her face.

"It's just a small trick that can't be put on the table, and it shouldn't be praised by Yunhong Daozi like this."

Gui Shu looked at the direction in which Wei Tao disappeared, and sighed with emotion in his tone, "Compared to the amazing talent and qualifications of Wei Daozi of Qinglin Mountain, the terrifying cultivation realm, the old man's ability is nothing.

】

I think I have worked hard and pursued hard, and the accumulation of decades of planning is still not as good as his perception after the First World War, which makes people involuntarily have disheartened thoughts. ”

Yun Hong was not surprised, still with a calm expression, "The Taixuan Mountain Sect is a big competition, Wei Daozi is recognized as the first Daoist of the Seven Sects, and it is also a matter of deed.

Just like Senior Sister Sun at the beginning, the so-called extraordinary people do extraordinary things, which may be difficult to reach the sky in our eyes, but in their eyes it is just an ordinary afternoon nap. ”

"He is different from Sun Xiyue."

Gui Shuyan shook his head slowly, "Sun Daozi can indeed be called amazingly talented and like a celestial person, which is not an existence that ordinary people can imagine, but from my shallow eyes, her trajectory along the way is quite traceable."

If I were to follow the path she had walked again, although the most likely thing was that I would collapse halfway, and there would be no way to get to the present like her, I would be able to roughly know the main context of it. ”

After a pause, Gui Shuyan's voice suddenly became confused, and he was even a little uncontrollable confused.

However, since he first came into contact with Wei Daozi in the Luoshui Gold Drying Field, the old man has had contact with him several times since then, but he is completely incomprehensible, how he crossed the two thresholds of sympathy between heaven and man and cathode and yang in such a short period of time, and achieved the great master of anode horizontal practice.

I almost forgot that he was now not only the unification of Yin and Yang in the Vajra Secret Method, but also cultivated all the Xuanwu Lingming Wuji to the level of sympathy between heaven and man, which was more than one level more difficult than the simple anode horizontal practice. ”

"And what I can't understand is the Xuanwu True Intent he displayed, as well as the other Martial Dao True Intent that Luo Sect felt when he fought with him.

After all, manpower is poor and heaven and earth are endless, no matter how strong the talent and qualification of a martial artist is, he also has the limit of his physical body, and it is difficult to break the barrier no matter what, but this does not seem to exist in him.

It's like he doesn't have a limit at all, and all the exercises he cultivates can penetrate the barrier and reach the height level of breaking the limit. ”

Yunhong pondered silently, and when she spoke again, her voice suddenly became layered, "So in the opinion of Senior Gui, is there such a possibility that Wei Daozi is actually not a human?" ”

"Not a human ......"

Gui Shuyan frowned, seriously thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly.

"If an animal looks like a tiger and sounds like a tiger, and all its movements and habits are the same as those of other tigers, then it is a tiger.

So it's the same for changing to a human being, no matter how you look at it, Wei Daozi is just a person, even if he manifests a little different trait because of his cultivation of Xuanwu True Solution, he is not another non-human being. ”

"And in order to reproduce the mysterious silk in the world, I used the convenience of the position of Zhongcheng of the Pilgrimage Division and the counselor of the Tianji Mansion to read and query a large number of secret classics, and studied all the ancient legends and myths in depth and detail.

The content in it has a lot of curiosity, but it has never had the same description as Wei Daozi, so Yunhong Daozi's guess is still not accurate. ”

When they said this, they suddenly closed their mouths at the same time.

He turned his head again and looked in the direction where Mianlong Town was located.

Gui Shu said, "It seems that their confrontation has been decided, and we should also leave." ”

Yunhong asked, "In the eyes of Senior Gui, what will be the outcome of the battle in Mianlong Town?" ”

"I don't know, so I don't dare to say anything."

Gui Shu thought about it and said slowly, "If it is the Martial Emperor before his death, as long as he decides to kill him, then one is counted as one, whether it is the cathode or the anode, or even the great master of the Law Realm, there is no reason for the martial artists who come to the Nine Holy Mountains to be spared."

But now it's a bit hard to say.

The Lord of the Golden Horde carries the spiritual intent of Brahma, and is integrated with it, which is not comparable to the Ordinary Law Realm Grandmaster.

The Xuanwu Dao Master incorporated the turtle and snake fragments into his body, and also had the ability to resist the divine will.

Sun Xiyue is invisible and unheard, and even in the face of divine will, she can partially hide her appearance.

If the three of them go all out, they really don't know what the ending will be.

After all, Emperor Wu's true spirit was gone, at most there was only a trace of obsession left, and his imperial envoy's divine will was not comparable to his own cultivation skills in any case. ”

Yunhong said again, "How is Senior Gui going to arrange next, we are going to go to the Nine Saints Gate to take a look at the mountain chronicle written by the Nine Saints Descendants. ”

"I advise Yun Daozi not to go."

"Oh? Although we haven't been there before, we also know that the strongest person in the Nine Holy Gates is just a cathode grandmaster of the sect, but listening to the meaning of Gui's predecessors, there is still a great grandmaster of the cathode and yang in the Nine Holy Gates? ”

Gui Shuyan shook his head, "It's not that there is a great grandmaster above the anode, but there may be unexpected dangerous situations. ”

He glanced at the figures behind Yunhong, "Even if you have the Qinglian Holy Maiden and the Xuanwu Sect Master, you may not be able to retreat with your whole body. ”

"What kind of danger did Senior Gui say?"

"God is manifested, and the world is in chaos."

Gui Shuyan said slowly, "The words that Emperor Wu said before his death were not specifically aimed at the Northern Wasteland, but also had a deeper meaning.

If it was nothing to go to the Nine Holy Gates for a tour before the divine will appeared and Emperor Wu did not rise, but now that the divine will has appeared, it may no longer be safe there. ”

Sighing, his voice suddenly became a little emotional, "Since returning from the Arctic Ice Sea, although Emperor Wu has quickly fallen into madness, he has a deep meaning about the arrangements for the aftermath.

It's like why he didn't bury him in the Great Zhou Emperor's Mausoleum, instead of choosing to be in the Nine Holy Mountains, Daozi can know the reason? ”

Yunhong shook his head, and everyone behind him shook his head at the same time, "None of us are old men in the Martial Emperor period, so naturally we don't know what the meaning of his old man was at that time." ”

"You don't know, and I don't know."

Gui Shuyan's answer was a little unexpected, "Emperor Wu buried himself in the Nine Holy Mountains, even I didn't know about it until I woke up this time, and I was deeply surprised and puzzled.

After all, before this, I always thought that his old man's home was in the tomb of the Great Zhou Emperor, and at most, his body was immortal and hidden in the Great Inner Palace, as the final arrangement to protect the martial royal family. ”

"But tonight I thought about it for a long time, but I suddenly figured out something."

Gui Shuyan lowered his head and said slowly after thinking, "Emperor Wu buried himself in the Nine Holy Mountains and did not want to rest in the Great Zhou Emperor's Mausoleum, not because he felt ashamed of his ancestors, but because there may be two reasons. ”

"The first reason is that Jiusheng Mountain is located in the south of Qizhou, relatively close to the Northern Wilderness, but it is not too far north, which is suitable as a place to welcome the divine will and monitor Brahma.

There is a second reason, when Emperor Wu broke through the Golden Tent of the Northern Wilderness and destroyed the divine will of Brahma, a natural disaster suddenly appeared in the Nine Holy Mountains, and he sent his most trusted shadow attendant and others to investigate, but in the end, there was no explanation and conclusion recorded in the eucalyptus.

Looking at the two things together, at least before the war in the Northern Wilderness a hundred years ago was completely over, Emperor Wu had already made detailed arrangements for the aftermath of the incident, and then he lay in this desolate place for a hundred years, and only now has he returned to the world with the manifestation of divine will. ”

Yunhong listened carefully and thought silently, "The Nine Holy Gates are inherited from the descendants of the Nine Saints, and the legendary Nine Saints live in seclusion in this mountain, so Senior Gui thinks that the Nine Holy Gates are not good places, and it is better to stay away." ”

Gui Shuyan smiled slightly, "For the old man, Master Luo was beaten violently by Qinglin Mountain Wei Daozi, resulting in both legs being broken and his strength falling by more than half, so we must avoid all possible dangers, so as not to fall into it and not be able to save ourselves."

Of course, this is just a guess on my part, and it doesn't mean it should be.

Yunhong Daozi can also go further to investigate, maybe nothing happens, and there may be a great opportunity, not the danger I think I am. ”

…………

……………………

The clouds are low and accumulating.

After leaving the Nine Sacred Mountains, the weather seemed to get worse.

Although it was already dawn, it was still dark and gloomy, and there was no light in sight.

An even bigger blizzard is brewing, and at some point it will sweep through the whole world, enveloping everything in the depths of white snow and ice.

Two figures walked briskly through the wilderness.

The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, but it couldn't affect them in the slightest.

No matter how the ghost cried wolf in the distance, he could never enter the front of the two of them, and the place around him was completely calm.

"Senior Hong's method of returning to the void is really clever, it doesn't suit your heart, and even the wind and snow can't enter."

Wei Tao exhaled lightly and praised sincerely, "It reminds me of an old lie from a long time ago, which says that the wind can enter, the snow can enter, and the emperor cannot enter." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hong Shun Yu instantly turned a lot of thoughts in his heart, and all kinds of thoughts were born.

He immediately replied respectfully, "The old slave's loyalty to the son is evident from God, and there is absolutely no deception. ”

Wei Tao glanced at him with a smile, "Senior Hong doesn't need to be so nervous, even if you really cheat, it doesn't matter, at most, it just makes me a little disappointed, and I feel that I don't know people and have no eyes, and then I just beat you to death." ”

Hong Shun shuddered, as if he wanted to say something more, but his lips moved but he couldn't say it after all.

Wei Tao didn't care about this, and casually changed the topic, "Senior Hong is familiar with the old master of the Nine Holy Gates, and said that he wanted to take me there to temporarily avoid the power of Emperor Wu, and by the way, ask them if they know about the Nine Holy Mountain Emperor's Mausoleum, and how far away is it now?" ”

Despite the bitter cold, he was constantly radiating a wave of heat from all over his body, like a burning human-shaped stove.

This is all the effect of the elixir Great Returning Pill, which greatly alleviates his hunger when he arrives as scheduled.

But because of the guarantee of safety, each pill was crushed by Wei Tao in half, which caused Hong Shunqiao to overdose on the big medicine, but he was still a little dissatisfied.

In this way, at the suggestion of Hong Shunyu, he prepared to go to the Nine Holy Gate.

However, his main purpose is nothing else, but just to have a light meal.

First fill the huge deficit brought by the turtle and snake crossing the limit of 100 paragraphs, and then continue to improve the exercises.

There are also more than 30 gold coins in the status bar.

Whenever he thought that he could not use such a huge sum of money, Wei Tao's heart was furious, as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch, and he couldn't wait to enter the Nine Holy Gates in the next second, and borrow a little of their medicinal pills to nourish himself.

Hong Shunyun roughly estimated the distance, "If you go back to Gongzi, at our current speed, we will be able to reach the Nine Holy Gate in more than an hour at most." ”

"It's going to take more than an hour."

Wei Tao calmed down and slowly exhaled a turbid breath, "Then it's better to be faster, because I don't have much patience anymore." ”

Suddenly, without warning, he stopped and looked to the side.

Hong Shunyun's brows furrowed, and he turned his head almost indiscriminately, and his gaze fell on the same place.

It was empty, and there was not a single figure in sight.

Rumble!

The wind and snow surged, and the fists surged.

Without any hesitation or hesitation, Wei Tao forced away the wind and snow with one punch, and in an instant, a large area of wilderness ground was emptied.

However, the punches were empty and unfocused.

He followed the hint of induction in his heart, and the blow obviously covered a large area, but in the end it was still in vain.

After a punch, Wei Tao suddenly changed from extreme movement to extreme quietness.

His gaze pierced through the vast snow that had fallen again, and slowly looked around at the front and back, left and right.

Don't see it, don't hear it, don't touch it?

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and he was immediately denied by himself.

Sun Xiyue's absence is not this feeling.

So, who is it exactly?

The next moment, the red-robed old eunuch in Mianlong Town, who had only appeared for a moment and disappeared immediately, came to his heart.

Thinking of this, Wei Tao sighed, "I haven't found it all along, and Senior Hong hasn't found it either?" ”

Hong Shunyu bowed slightly, "The tracker should be the shadow father-in-law who has been serving by Emperor Wu's side, and the old slave also suddenly became alert after Gongzi reacted.

As his name suggests, the name of the exercises he practices is like shadows, and once he performs it, it is like walking in the shadows, and even the sympathy between heaven and man of the anode master will be deceived. ”

Wei Tao nodded, and shot again without warning.

In an instant, he crossed a distance of more than ten zhang and leveled a large area of bushes.

However, the attack still yielded nothing.

did not catch a piece of the old eunuch's clothes.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly froze.

Seeing the snowflakes flying in front of me, they silently separated from them and turned into two completely symmetrical pieces on the left and right.

Katsa!

It was as if there was a soft sound, and it shook directly in his heart.

But when he looked closely, he didn't hear anything.

Only the whirring wind passed through the wilderness.

Wei Tao held his breath and raised his hand to touch his neck.

There was an inexplicable itch, as if it had been gently brushed by a strand of hair.

A very shallow trail was left behind.

He suddenly became a little irritable.

Enemies that are always in the shadows, but difficult to see.

There was no breath fluctuation, and the god had already landed on the attack without realizing it.

It's not that Sun Xiyue doesn't see or hear, but it's as difficult and annoying as not seeing or hearing.

If it weren't for the horizontal training body of yin and yang, coupled with the turtle and snake intersection that broke the limit of 100 sections, just this time, I am afraid that he would be able to cut off his head.

And not as it is now, not even a bleeding wound can be cut.

Not far away, Hong Shunyu's heart jumped, and a fine cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.

He was not a great master of horizontal cultivation where yin and yang were one, and he could directly turn a blind eye to attacks of this magnitude.

If Grandpa Ying had chosen him as the target of attack just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and even if he didn't die, he would have to be injured in blood.

Without any hesitation, Hong Shunyu immediately condensed his spirit in one place, fused his strength into one, and rejected all other foreign objects around him regardless of the consumption and virtual performance.

Katsa!

Another soft sound that may or may not exist.

Wei Tao scratched his left cheek, his gaze swept over Hong Feng, who was like a great enemy, and continued to look for the shadow father-in-law.

After a few breaths, there was a crackling sound.

Suddenly broke the silence except for the wind.

Wei Tao slowly lowered his head, looking at the crack in the black robe he was wearing, and anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Rumble!

Without warning, darkness came at this time.

With his body at the center, the wind suddenly stopped and the snow stopped, and there was a dull silence like death.

Countless more scarlet filaments came out of the body, growing wildly in all directions.

Then, a thick fog rose and obscured everything.

However, the perception was still empty, and no trace of the divine will was found.

Wei Tao's brows furrowed, and there was a bit more solemn expression on his face.

If you can find the traces of the other party, it may only take less than a breath to end the fight.

But now there are problems in front of us that cannot be seen or touched.

What's more, there is a high probability that Shadow Gonggong is the eyeliner of Emperor Wu.

If it is delayed, it is possible that he will wait for Emperor Wu to appear.

Wei Tao closed his eyes, recalling the whole process of Sun Xiyue and Ying Gong's bus, looking for possible flaws in the other party.

Sting!

The black robe was cut out again.

Then there is the third and fourth way.

Soon it turned into wisps of cloth.

Wei Tao inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly.

A little realization suddenly flashed in my heart.

"I roughly get it."

"What Hong Shunyun said just now is right, even the anode grandmaster's sympathy between heaven and man will be deceived.

That's why my shadow is like a shadow, affecting my perception from beginning to end, so I can't see, hear, or touch. ”

"Then, if you want to break through his shadow method, there is a way to try."

Wei Tao suddenly sighed secretly.

If he is just facing a shadow father-in-law, he would rather spend it like this with the other party all the time, and see who is more durable.

Instead of taking the initiative with the method that just came to mind.

However, Shadow Gonggong was Emperor Wu's chamberlain, and if they could exchange news with each other, then he would already be in an extremely dangerous situation.

It must be dealt with as quickly as possible, and then immediately get away from the place.

Thinking of this, Wei Tao closed his eyes instead.

The whole person suddenly became a little different at this moment.

Not far away, Hong Shun was suddenly excited.

Subconsciously looked in the direction where Wei Tao was.

In his perception, the darkness not far away suddenly stopped surging.

In its place, there is a heart-warming death.

There is also the great terror that devours and absorbs all life, overflowing from the deepest depths of darkness.

Goo Dong!

Hong Shunyu's throat surged, and he looked at the figure that was submerged in darkness in a daze, and the face of the Xuanwu Dao Lord suddenly flashed in his heart.

He recalled the fear of being dominated by the Xuanwu Dao Lord before going to Sleeping Dragon Town.

But in the next moment, even the figure of the Xuanwu Dao Lord disappeared without a trace.

An even greater fear crept up from the bottom of my heart.

Hong Shunyun knew that after he was defeated twice in a row, there had been a crack in his mood, which was why he was so greatly affected.

However, he could not control himself, let alone get rid of this influence, and could only let it completely envelop his mind.

"He's not human, and if not, what would he be?"

"Xuan, Xuanwu ......"

"The old man actually saw Xuanwu with his own eyes!"

"He is Xuanwu, Xuanwu is him!"

Rumble!

Suddenly, the darkness began to surge again.

Among them, there was also a looming red-robed figure, staggering backwards.

Immediately after, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up and were firmly nailed to the withered and twisted body.

Bang!

！

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded.

The two figures collided in the depths of the wind and snow.

In Hong Shunyu's eyes, he only saw the red-clothed and red-robed Shadow Gonggong being stuck in the neck, pressing on the ground and rushing backwards.

Along the way, the mud and snow exploded violently, smashing many boulders, until a straight trench of 100 feet long was left in the wilderness, and the storm finally dissipated and finally stopped.

Not long after, a figure in red clothes and red robes slowly approached.

Hong Shunyun only saw those scarlet eyes, and suddenly felt a great fear welling up in his heart.

In his perception, it was not a person who was coming, but a turtle and snake full of dead intent and devouring the corpse of the living turtle and snake, occupying all sight, and even about to cover him.

Unconsciously, he knelt down again, touching his head to the ground and not daring to speak.

"Although I put on the red robe of Grandpa Ying, it's not him, why is Senior Hong so afraid?"

Wei Tao stopped a few feet away, and after a moment of silence, he sighed again, "I see, but Mr. Hong still doesn't have to be afraid, after all, I can still tell that I am not a Xuanwu corpse of a turtle and a snake."

Even if you can't tell the difference in the future, you have to be the Zhenwu Emperor who steps on the turtle and snake. ”
