The black clouds are thick and low, looking up like mountains across the sky.

Under the squeezing friction, there was an occasional rumbling thunder rolling.

"Thunder and thunder, all things come to life."

Qi Taiquan sighed lowly, sat up straight from a broken mountain stone, and slowly turned his head to look to the side.

"I'm afraid I don't have much time to live."

"I thought that after taking that step, I already had the ability to devour and absorb the divine will, which could help me embark on a higher-level path, but I didn't expect it to fall short, and I was almost scattered by Emperor Wu's Emperor Seal of the Emperor."

He said slowly, looking at the clearing next to him.

Although it was empty and nowhere to be seen, it still attracted all his attention.

Quietly, a slender figure appeared in the wind and snow.

Sun Xiyue bowed slightly, "If it's just a separate divine will, the Dao Master's body is tortoise and snake crossing, naturally there won't be much of a problem, even if it can't be devoured and absorbed, at least it won't be seriously injured."

However, this is the divine will of Emperor Wu's imperial envoy, and it is given a special meaning by nature.

Therefore, it is not the divine will that is really powerful, but Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou. ”

Qi Taiquan laughed, "The corpse of the emperor with only a trace of obsession left is standing at such a high level, so you can imagine how strong the Martial Emperor himself was a hundred years ago." ”

"A hundred years ago, he was the first in the world, invincible, and naturally he was not just talking."

Sun Xiyue looked towards the north, "If it weren't for the obsession left in the emperor's corpse or the heart of the Northern Wilderness, and took the living corpses under his command all the way to pursue the Golden Horde who desperately escaped, the disciples and Dao masters might not have been able to get out so easily." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly asked, "In the Dao Lord's opinion, can the Golden Horde Lord get rid of the shadow of death hanging over his head and successfully return to the Northern Wilderness?" ”

"He will definitely be able to return to the Northern Wilderness alive."

Qi Taiquan didn't think too much about it, and said directly.

"Oh? Why did the Taoist Lord say this? ”

"It's very simple, because Emperor Wu won't let the Golden Horde Lord die halfway."

Qi Taiquan lowered his head, like an old farmer who had just returned home from working in the field, and little by little pulled out sharp stone chips from his body that were embedded in the flesh.

"After all, Emperor Wu made such an arrangement, he must have wanted to solve the problem of the entire Northern Wilderness, not just kill a Golden Horde lord, so he had to let him go and let him go north to return to the Golden Horde.

If my speculation is correct, Emperor Wu will even give the Golden Horde Lord enough time to gather his strength to open Brahma Dajiao again, and this is the arrival of the final duel. ”

Sun Xiyue nodded, "In the end, Emperor Wu obviously had the opportunity to kill the Golden Horde Lord, but he only seriously injured him and let him leave, which shows that what the Dao Lord said is not unreasonable.

So, if the Golden Horde Lord is really allowed to return to the Northern Wilderness to start the Brahma Jiao, is Emperor Wu sure that he will break it again? ”

Qi Taiquan was silent for a long time, but he slowly shook his head, "According to the arrangement made before Emperor Wu's death, no matter how much you break the Brahma Dajiao, you should be sure that you are nine out of ten."

However, after the battle of the Nine Holy Mountains, especially after the disintegration of the corpse of the Esoteric Sect's left and right Vajra Protectors, it is really difficult to say what the final result will be. ”

Sun Xiyue's eyes sparkled, and her expression was thoughtful, "I understand, what the Taoist master means is that the Esoteric Protector carries the spiritual intent of Brahma Heiyuan to achieve the anode horizontal training master, which is one of the means used by Emperor Wu to deal with Brahma Dajiao."

Now that they have been broken by Qinglin Mountain Wei Daozi, it is indeed a big loss for Emperor Wu. ”

After a pause, she suddenly sighed, "Wei Daozi is also a ruthless person, not only can he defeat the golden bodies of the two great masters of horizontal training head-on, but he can even hard-catch the two imperial seals of Emperor Wu without dying.

But what is even more surprising is his method of extinguishing his divine will with a light breeze, and I can't figure out what method he has practiced to achieve this level. ”

"Not only do you not understand, but I also don't understand, maybe even Emperor Wu himself is a little confused."

Qi Taiquan smiled again, "There are talented people in the country, and a generation of new people replaces the old, if Wei Daozi can continue to advance by leaps and bounds, maybe he will become another Great Zhou Wu Emperor, and it is not impossible to even stand in a higher position." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Qi Taiquan stood up, "Where are you going next?" ”

Sun Xiyue thought for a while, "The disciple is going to go to the East China Sea next, it is said that there are sacred trees in the three overseas islands, just go over and see what is special." ”

Qi Taiquan bowed slightly, "The old man originally planned to go to the southern frontier, but since Emperor Wu has already gone north, he can follow him into the Northern Wilderness."

If he can really break the golden tent again and kill Brahma, maybe Brahma's spiritual will be torn apart because of this, and when such a big change occurs, it is both dangerous and can be called an opportunity, it depends on how to grasp it. ”

After a pause, he continued, "If you are not in a hurry, you can also go to Lingyungang for a while, I don't know if there will be other discoveries."

I always feel that Emperor Wu's choice of the Nine Saints Mountain as the emperor's tomb may have something to do with the Nine Saints heirs he met during the Great Zhou Dynasty's founding battle.

There is also the time when the natural disaster occurred in the Nine Holy Mountains a hundred years ago, which happened to coincide with Emperor Wu breaking the golden tent and destroying Brahma, and I don't know if there is any connection between this. ”

…………

……………………

The Nine Holy Gates are not in the Nine Holy Mountains.

Instead, it is located in Lingyungang, which is three hundred miles away.

It is connected to Jiusheng Mountain and Chishan City, and is located in the center of both.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Nine Holy Gates have continued to form a sect and have continued for more than 200 years.

After the glory of the past, although it gradually declined, because of the method that directly pointed to the martial arts master, it has always been able to rank among the ranks of the martial arts sects, and has not disappeared without a trace like many other sects.

Wei Tao had already arrived in front of Lingyungang at this time.

Looking at the low snow-covered stone hill in front of him, he couldn't help but think of many things from the past.

Seriously counted, he also had two contacts with the Nine Holy Gates.

The first time was when it was in Qingfeng Temple, and behind the Lingyun Pavilion Master was the relationship between the Nine Holy Gates.

However, with the arrival of the Inspector of the Martial Arts Division, after the battle between the Mingshui River and the Moxianglou, the elite of Lingyun Pavilion from the pavilion master Xiao Jinyun to the elite was lost, and since then it has become the last force in Luoshui City, and it was quickly divided by other gangs, leaving almost no traces.

The second intersection with the Nine Holy Gates was before the Great Competition of the Sect.

Wei Tao still remembered that he and Senior Sister Ni passed by by boat, and happened to meet Master Zhou and the senior brothers of the Red Line Gate, and then beat the deputy master of the Nine Holy Gate and the Daozi of Lingming Mountain to death, and the next day he took away Concubine Shang Ning by the way, and accidentally cut off the road to Dabi in Lingming Mountain.

A series of events that happened at the beginning seem to be a long time ago.

After thinking silently for a while, Wei Tao couldn't remember the name of the deputy master of the Nine Holy Gates and the Lingming Daozi after all, so he had to give up.

He turned to look at Hong Shunyu, who was standing solemnly with his hands down, and asked casually, "Has Senior Hong been to the Nine Holy Gate before?" ”

Hong Shun said, "Forty years ago, the old slave returned to the capital from the north, and he had a very happy conversation with the master of the Nine Holy Gates for a few days. ”

Wei Tao sighed, "It's been such a long relationship, is the Mumen Master still alive now?" ”

"Back to Gongzi's words, at that time, in the battle with the Northern Wilderness, the herdsman was seriously injured, and then died within a few years."

Speaking of this, Hong Shunyun hurriedly added, "But later it was his son Mu Yuan who succeeded him as the head of the door, and he went to the capital several times to visit the old slave, and he continued to maintain this relationship." ”

"So, Senior Hong's face is still good in the Nine Holy Gates?"

"It's good to make it, don't worry, don't say that we just went to find out the news, but we just stayed at their house and didn't leave, and no one dared to say a word."

Wei Tao nodded, "Our visit this time is secondary to inquire about the news, mainly to let Senior Hong and his friends who haven't seen him for a long time catch up, and by the way, have a light meal here to rest."

Therefore, after entering the Nine Holy Gate, all negotiations are dominated by Mr. Hong, what does Senior Hong think about this arrangement? ”

Hong Shunyu carefully observed Wei Tao's expression, "Please rest assured that the old slave will definitely handle things properly and smoothly." ”

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and his words suddenly changed, "After leaving the Nine Saints Mountain, Senior Hong's cultivation seems to have entered the realm again, and it seems that this trip has benefited a lot, which is really gratifying." ”

Hong Shunyu bowed, "Thanks to the blessing of the son, the old slave can break the knot in his heart and improve a little." ”

"Thanks to me?"

Wei Tao couldn't help but be stunned, "Is Hong Lao joking with me?" ”

"No, how dare the old slave make a joke about his son."

Hong Shunyu said seriously, "On this trip to the Nine Holy Mountains, the old slave was defeated by the Qi Dao Lord and the Gongzi successively, and he was indeed a little disheartened at the beginning, and there was even the possibility of a realm fall.

But then I figured it out, if you want to achieve the method of transforming gods and devouring spirits and returning foreign objects to nothingness, you don't necessarily have to stare at the spiritual will that belongs to me and is strong.

After all, the strong is humiliating, extremely rigid and easy to break, although the method of returning to the void is to exclude everything else, but as long as the things that cannot be excluded are regarded as their own, the big problem that is still in the heart will be solved at once. ”

Wei Tao was silent for a long time before he was a little puzzled, "Is this okay?" ”

"The old slave thinks it's okay, since he figured it out, his mind is suddenly smooth, his thoughts are clear, and even the barrier in front of him seems to have become thinner."

Wei Tao stopped at the foot of Lingyun Gang, his brows furrowed and he fell into thought, "Senior Hong has realized the Spiritual Victory Method, and he can find his position at the first time and make the most suitable choice at the right time. ”

While the two were talking, they had already come to the Nine Holy Gate.

Wei Tao took a step back at this time, let Hong Shun Yu in front of him, and admired and observed the snow scene on Lingyun Gang.

Soon after the disciples on duty passed through, an old man in a green shirt came quickly with a few people.

"The younger generation Muhe, I have seen the senior Hong."

The old man in the green shirt clasped his fists with both hands and gave a deep salute.

"It's Muhe, where is my brother Muyuan?"

Hong Shunyun put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, showing the magnanimity of the Yang Great Grandmaster.

Mu He replied respectfully, "If you go back to the seniors, my brother is in retreat at this time, and the juniors have already been called. ”

After getting up, he looked behind Hong Shunyi, and his eyes fell on the young figure standing in his sleeves.

At a glance, his heart couldn't help jumping, and his body couldn't help but tense.

I didn't even hear what Hong Shunyu said again.

At this moment, Mu He's heart was filled with extremely contradictory strange feelings.

The young man in red standing behind Hong Shunyi, judging by his attire, should be a small servant, or he may just be a little eunuch in the palace, and he is not worth much attention at all.

But the inexplicable feeling in the depths of his consciousness kept reminding him that the other party was dangerous, very dangerous, very dangerous.

It is even more dangerous than Hong Shunyu, who is the great grandmaster of Yang.

Mu He tried his best to concentrate and calm down, trying his best to suppress the surprise and shock in his heart, at least keeping his expression steady and waveless.

And as Wei Tao focused his attention, Mu He's uneasiness became more and more intense, until it occupied all his heart.

In the next moment, fine cold sweat had oozed from his back, quickly joining together.

Although he was just stared at, Mu He even felt that the temperature around him had dropped a little, and the whole person was like an ice cellar, cold from head to toe.

It was as if he were a lamb to the slaughter, exposed to a tiger that was hunting.

If it weren't for the mountain gate behind him, he might have avoided as far as he could.

Mu He secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity, tried to gather his mind, and led the two of them to the door with a smile on his face.

Wei Tao looked at the pastor and deputy sect master of the Nine Holy Gates, and a look of doubt flashed between his eyebrows.

However, he didn't say much, just followed in silence, and soon came to the courtyard specially prepared for them to rest and change clothes.

A quarter of an hour later.

Mu He took Hong Shunyu to the banquet room.

Wei Tao got his wish and was led to the inner treasury by an elder of the Nine Holy Sects.

There were a lot of things inside, and they were indeed precious to a martial arts sect, but they were obviously not what he wanted.

He continued to walk inside, until he reached the end, but there was still no trace of the Tonifying Vitality Pill Pill.

The elders of the Nine Holy Sect followed him in, and when he saw that Wei Tao had turned a blind eye to the precious elixir, his expression was also quite puzzled.

Wei Tao stopped and turned his head to look, "Maybe Hong Xian didn't make it clear, what I need is just the most ordinary Qi Replenishing and Yiyuan Medicinal Pill instead of these things." ”

It's just a pill that replenishes qi and nourishes the element?

The elder of the Nine Holy Sect was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he say, "If Gongzi is talking about the Ning Yuan Dan of this sect, there is indeed no one in these two secret vaults, and they are generally stored in ordinary warehouses. ”

His face was pale, and he spoke in a peculiar tone, like a peculiar peculiar feeling in his mouth that he couldn't spit out no matter what.

"Then I'm tired of my seniors."

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and walked out of the secret vault gate without any hesitation.

It seems that in addition to the deputy sect master Mu He, this Nine Holy Gate elder also seems to be a little strange.

Whether it is his expression and movements, or the tone of his speech, it gives him an inexplicable and weird feeling.

But it doesn't matter.

The main purpose of his coming to the Nine Holy Gates was to make up for the shortfall before he could start his subsequent cultivation.

Other than that, everything else is out of the picture.

No matter how strange the martial artists in the Nine Holy Gates are, they have nothing to do with him.

As if frightened by Wei Tao's eyes, the Nine Holy Gate Elders led him to the ordinary treasury as quickly as possible.

Boom!

The gate was tightly closed by Wei Tao from the inside, blocking the Nine Holy Gate Elders from the outside with a dull and dazed expression.

The Ning Yuan Pill on the shelf decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the hunger gradually subsided, replaced by great satisfaction and happiness.

Silently, the status bar came to mind.

Name: Turtle and snake crossing

Progress: One thousand one hundred.

Status: 100 paragraphs broken.

Description: Xuanwu gradually grows, and the turtle and snake are bright.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of the turtle and snake trading practice."

Wei Tao stuffed a handful of Ning Yuan Dan into his mouth and directly chose yes.

The mysterious aura was quickly injected into the body, and the blood net points began to expand and contract, absorbing it along with the medicinal power of the ingredient consumed.

He was so immersed in this indescribable wonder that he forgot the passage of time.

One by one, the coins disappeared.

Unconsciously, the turtle and snake exchange has reached the progress of breaking the limit of one hundred and nine sections.

Wei Tao came back to his senses at this time, and his gaze fell on the newly appeared golden handwriting.

"Whether to consume the gold coins of the status column to improve the progress of the turtle and snake trading practice."

"Yes."

Swish!

The status bar suddenly blurred, and the twelve gold coins disappeared in an instant.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes violently and poured a whole box of Ning Yuan Dan into his mouth.

The long-brewing snowstorm has finally fallen.

A white expanse between heaven and earth.

The Nine Holy Gates became more and more lifeless.

A secluded courtyard on the edge of Lingyungang.

"Sir, Hong Shunyu of the Four Elephant Hall suddenly came to visit, and there was a person with an unknown level of strength beside him, but it gave me an extremely dangerous feeling."

Mu He closed the door, and the whole room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"I see, leave them alone."

Quietly, a green light lit up.

A man in white raised his head and looked at Muhe, who was kneeling on one knee.

The man was long, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and not only could he clearly see the fine blood vessels, but there seemed to be dense insects surging and crawling inside.

Mu He glanced up, his gaze away from the man, and landed on another wooden chair.

His elder brother, Mu Yuan, the master of the Nine Holy Gates, sat upright with his hands on his knees.

The two eyes kept staring at the void in front of them, and they didn't blink for a long time.

"Emperor Wu finally left with the pile of corpses."

"More than two hundred years ago, the ancestor carried the spirit of the Nine Saints out of the mountain, but was defeated by the Great Zhou National Teacher, and then chased and killed for thousands of miles until it was destroyed.

A hundred years ago, Master Tai felt in the place of escape, thinking that the time had come, but he didn't expect to be knocked into the dust by the dying Emperor Wu.

After that, the Honmen endured for a long time, and finally waited for the day when the seeds of the Nine Holy Spirits could be planted and wait for them to take root and sprout. ”

The man let out a low sigh and continued, "As long as we can succeed, it doesn't matter whether there will be any deaths in the process, how many people will die, and who will die. ”

"Sir, the medicine has been boiled."

A bright girl pushed the door open from the outside, holding a steaming medicine jar in her hand.

"Put it there."

The man pointed to the table in front of Mu Yuan, "I turned your father and uncle into what they are now, will you hate me?" ”

The girl lowered her eyes, "Mr. Hui's words, to be able to dedicate our lives to the Nine Sages, this is the highest glory we can't ask for." ”

The man nodded and opened the lid of the medicine jar.

Inside the viscous soup, countless tumbling and surging tiny insects can be faintly seen.

"Drink it, the Spirit of the Nine Saints is with you and me."

Since last Friday, I have been working overtime for several days, and tomorrow I will finally be able to return to normal.
