Snowflakes are falling one after another.

The plain white paper umbrella rotated slowly, and together with the delicate figure under the umbrella, it seemed to be completely integrated into the wind and snow.

"How long has Senior Sister Sun been here?"

Wei Tao asked casually.

"Actually, it didn't take long."

She lifted the paper umbrella little by little, revealing a covered face, "Just when Senior Brother Wei lifted the table, I just came to the small courtyard. ”

"Sun Daozi is standing quietly in the snow, but I haven't been able to find out, which is really a bit rude."

Wei Tao looked at her dreamlike beautiful face, and was inexplicably distracted for a while.

He couldn't figure out what she was supposed to look like now.

In the most primitive memory, the seriously injured woman encountered in the Cangmang Mountains.

In the depths of the sea of flowers, a girl in white sitting on the altar.

It is still the figure that suddenly broke the original memory after the turtle and snake intersection broke the limit of fifty paragraphs.

Or is it a glimpse of Gui Shuyi's Luoshui Manor after knocking down her paper umbrella?

But at this moment, seeing the gentle and moving woman in front of him, like a bright moon, Wei Tao couldn't help but fall into confusion.

In his eyes, there seemed to be a lot of her.

Every one of her is her, but none of them are her.

It's a rather strange feeling.

Compared with the past, I can't remember her body and appearance, which is even more weird and contradictory.

Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

"Senior Sister Sun didn't want me to see me, so even though there was only a wall apart, I didn't feel it and didn't have any feelings.

Even if my senior sister let me see that you are standing in front of me, it still makes me fall into the clouds, and I don't know what year it is.

From this point of view, the senior sister's sight and hearing, not touching or touching, its level is so high and the depth of its realm that it has reached a level that I must be surprised and admired. ”

"I thought that Senior Brother Wei would shoot directly after meeting, but such a peaceful conversation surprised me."

She just smiled when she heard this, "And Senior Brother Wei's praise is a little unexpected, and it doesn't seem to match the impression you have always brought me." ”

"At the beginning of the Cangmang Mountains, Senior Sister Sun overshadowed me once.

Later, in the Gui family manor, I punched you back, and everyone barely leveled it.

Later, Senior Sister Sun went to Qizhou Fucheng, played chess with the old man at home for two days, and gave him dozens of consecutive victories, which I still have to admit to you.

Therefore, it is not interesting to fight and kill after meeting, it is better to sit down and talk about the exchange, which is more in line with the artistic conception of the heavy snow at this time. ”

Wei Tao didn't continue on this topic, and instead asked, "Now that Sun Daozi has appeared here, the battle in Mianlong Town has already come to an end?" ”

Sun Xiyue nodded, "The Lord of the Golden Horde was seriously injured and fled, and Emperor Wu went north with him, maybe in the near future, there will be changes in the Northern Wilderness Brahma." ”

Wei Tao asked again, "How is the Qi Dao Master?" ”

"The state of the Dao Master is not very good, but he can still hold on."

Speaking of this, she sighed lowly, "If he can pass this level, his old man will probably be able to take a step forward."

If there is no past, when the spring flowers bloom and everything recovers, it should be the dying day of the Taoist. ”

Wei Tao was silent, and Qi Taiquan's figure full of death appeared in front of him.

Thinking of the meeting inside the Xuanwu Dao Mountain Gate again, some complicated thoughts came to my heart for a while.

After a few breaths, he gathered his thoughts, "How much does Senior Sister Sun know about the Nine Holy Gates?" ”

"Before I came over, the Daoist told me something, and just now I looked at the situation of that Miss Mu again, and roughly understood what path they were."

Sun Xiyue smiled, "No wonder the national teacher chased and killed thousands of miles back then, and he also killed the heirs of the Nine Saints in the palm of his hand, if he really ignored them and let them develop unscrupulously, I am afraid that it will cause a greater disaster than the Qinglian Sect." ”

Wei Tao listened to her story, and his brows couldn't help frowning, "In that case, why didn't the imperial court not only rush to exterminate everything, but even allowed the Nine Holy Sects to establish a sect later?" ”

"Because the heirs of the Nine Saints died early in the battle with the national teacher, most of the teams they pulled up were invested under the command of Taizu of the Great Zhou, which is also a relatively large mountain, and they contributed a lot in the subsequent battle for the founding of the country, and the credit is not small.

At that time, if they were wiped out, I was afraid that it would mess up the morale of the army, so it only eliminated a small number of the first evils, and did not implicate others too much.

When the country was initially decided, there were not a few Jiushengmen people left who originally joined the Zhou army, and then the battles of the Southern Xinjiang and Northern Wilderness broke out one after another, one after another, who could take care of such a trivial matter as the Nine Holy Gate? ”

Wei Tao nodded, "What is Sun Daozi going to do?" ”

"Don't do it, since you're here, let's kill a few people."

She turned her head to look out, and her tone was cold, as if she was talking about the weather.

"It's okay, I'm going to take a look at Hong Shunyu first, I don't know if the old man is still in the world."

Wei Tao followed her gaze, "As for the gentleman who hides and doesn't want to see anyone, let Yunhong Daozi discuss life with him first." ”

There was a soft squeak.

The withered wooden door of the banquet room was pushed open.

Mu Yuan walked out of it slowly, and closed the door with his hand again.

He walked into the corridor in front of the hall, and the smile that had been piled up on his face instantly disappeared, and he became even a little sluggish.

The cold wind outside is howling, and it sounds like a ghost crying.

Sweeping ice crystals and snowflakes flew all over the sky, connecting all the black clouds and green mountains.

"Anode Spirit Realm, half-step Dharma Body, that's just the case."

Mu Yuan tugged at the corners of his lips, as if he wanted to smile again, but he didn't succeed after all.

If you can't laugh, then don't laugh.

The next moment, two lines of bright red wet marks trickled down from the corners of his eyes and quietly dripped down his cheeks.

Smack!

The floor of the corridor was splashed with fine pieces of blood.

It soon disappeared under the cover of wind and snow.

Goo Dong!

The sound of swallowing saliva suddenly sounded.

Mu Yuan turned his head to look and saw the throat of the young disciple serving on the side, as if he had seen incomparably delicious food.

The disciples stared at the drops of blood and tears that slipped down, and even their eyes lit up with bright blood-colored light.

"The Holy Spirit enters the body and reverses life."

He sighed faintly, "You only see this benefit, and the whole person is immersed in the sympathy with the Holy Spirit, but you don't think of a deeper layer. ”

That is, our practice must always be in the state of entry in order to meet the needs of the Holy Spirit after entering the body.

Otherwise, the more Nine Holy Spirits in the body, the more miserable the final outcome will be. ”

The disciple slowly straightened up, and his tone was not as respectful as before, but had a slight sense of doubt and resistance.

"Teacher, why did the disciple hear that as long as we continue to practice step by step, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we will be able to directly point to the sympathy of heaven and man and become the Nine Holy Martial Arts Grandmasters.

It is not too difficult to even move forward, and in the end, it will definitely be the Yin Pole Yang and achieve the height of the Yang Great Grandmaster.

Such an endlessly fascinating good thing, and it can definitely meet the requirements of entering the country all the time, how can there be a miserable end? ”

Mu Yuan's face was expressionless, and his tone was calm, "In this way, in fact, you are all blaming me, you have been suppressing the situation strongly, and you have not been allowed to accept the Nine Holy Spirits into your body as soon as possible?" ”

"The disciple doesn't dare to say that the teacher is not."

Even though the disciples said this, they still couldn't suppress their agitated emotions, and even their voices couldn't help but raise a little.

"But since Mr. came to the mountain gate, the disciples sneered at Mr. from the beginning, and then became suspicious, until they had an in-depth exchange with Mr. once, and then they thought that he was taking the real right path.

On the contrary, the teacher has been sticking to the old ways, resting on his laurels, trying to resist the general trend on his own, until he was forced to accept the Holy Spirit into his body, and finally changed his mind, and everyone stood on the same side. ”

"The disciple has never understood why Mr. has such a high level of strength, and he did not use strong means to force the teacher to comply at the beginning, but allowed the teacher to hesitate again and again, and almost ruined the good situation of the vigorous development of the sect."

Mu Yuan said, "Because my surname is Mu, there is blood inherited from my ancestors in my body, which is such a simple truth.

So even my husband didn't dare to push me too much, and in general, he still had to take care of my mood and wait for me to figure it out. ”

After a pause, he continued, "In your eyes, I always thought that I was hindering your cultivation. ”

"Isn't it?"

The disciple took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, "And not only the disciple, but even Miss Peng has not been allowed by the teacher to accept the Holy Spirit. ”

"You are my most valued disciple, but you are as poisoned as Xiao Peng, and you can't pay attention to the old man's good intentions."

Mu Yuan looked up at the vast snowfall, "Since that's the case, I'll let you really experience the true use of the Nine Holy Spirits." ”

Swish!

The figure flickered, silent.

The disciple froze without warning.

He watched as Mu Yuan slowly raised his other arm, and then pointed it into a knife, stabbing into his shoulder well and sandalwood.

The next moment, his Tong hole suddenly shrank, and he sensed an influx of the Holy Spirit.

Unconsciously, looking at the person in front of me who was a little disgusted, I couldn't help but feel extremely close in my heart.

As time passed, the disciples felt that their strength had improved visibly.

And the creatures were still pouring in, and he quickly went from agitation to unspeakable pain.

But this is not the end, but only the beginning.

The face of the disciple was distorted, and his belly was bulging.

Even torn clothes, directly exposed to the wind and snow of the call sign.

There is still a great influx of the Holy Spirit.

His belly also swelled more and more, as if it was endless, endless.

It looks rather eerie in the end, like a balloon that has been blown to the limit.

Through the thin layer of flesh skin that is almost transparent, you can even clearly see the countless tiny insects inside gathering and surging, making a crackling sound from time to time, bursting out a disgusting slurry.

"Gross!"

The disciple glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He really couldn't help but spit it out, a large ball of blood overflowed from his mouth, and the breath of the whole person after experiencing a surge, but it quickly declined and fell, and finally stabilized at a level that was not up or down.

"See, that's why I don't want you and Xiao Lan to receive the Holy Spirit."

Mu Yuan silently stared at the disciple who was no longer human, "You are still young and have more possibilities, you should not be bound like this, but it turned out to make the old man feel a little chilled. ”

"Big brother, the surname Hong has completely fallen, and now he only needs to wait quietly for a while to make him a descendant of the Nine Saints."

Quietly, Mu He came to the front and looked at the disciple who was lying on his back in the cold snow.

Observing silently for a moment, Mu He showed a disdainful expression, "Big brother used to protect him so much, and he thought he had a good talent and qualifications, but now I find out that it's just that." ”

"It's okay to have poor ability, what I'm afraid of is that I can't see the situation clearly, I can't recognize the position, I make a wrong choice, but I think I'm right about everything."

Mu Yuan sighed and flicked his fingers lightly.

There was a crisp snap.

The belly of the disciple burst open.

Scarlet color covered the ground in front of the porch.

Mu Yuan took a deep breath at this time, sucking all the gray air currents in his body.

After doing all this, he slowly turned to look at the banquet hall, and his eyes fell on Hong Shunyu, who was sitting still and his eyes were closed.

"It's a pity that Hong Lao is a half-body great master who has entered the Fa, and his strength level is much higher than mine, otherwise he would have tried to take him down directly.

Then I will be seamlessly connected to him by using a secret method and infusing him with the Nine Holy Spirits that have been cultivated in my body, so that the pain I am suffering from now will be greatly alleviated. ”

"Big brother doesn't need to worry, since the emperor corpse has left, Mr. also said that he wants to ......"

Mu He was halfway through his words, but he suddenly fell silent.

One step ahead of him, Mu Yuan had already turned his head and looked in the direction of somewhere shrouded in wind and snow.

"This feeling, could it be that another martial arts master has come to Lingyun Gang?"

Mu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, but after a moment, a smile appeared again.

This time, he succeeded.

Although the smile on the corner of his lips looked extremely stiff, and it looked like he was crying, it was a little more vivid and vivid than before.

"Emperor Wu's main goal is the Northern Wilderness Brahma, as long as we don't jump too high, we shouldn't be taken in his eyes.

As for the other Grandmaster Martial Artists who rushed to the Nine Saints Mountain, as long as they were not the big people who had really stepped into the Law Realm, they could only join my command and become the new Nine Saints Descendants. ”

Mu He asked, "What are you going to do, big brother, if there are really other grandmasters coming, but it is a great opportunity for us to expand our power and improve our strength."

It's a pity that Mr. has always been in Lingyungang, if he is a seedling of his eye, I am afraid we will have to give up. ”

Mu Yuan closed his eyes, "Mr. is here, so naturally listen to Mr., but since Emperor Wu has gone north, Mr. is afraid that he will have to hurry up to complete the last step of the plan, and we will have more time and more free space for activities." ”

"Senior Sister Sun is right, even if they are both descendants of the Nine Saints and people who carry the Nine Saints' spiritual will, they are not monolithic, but have their own different minds."

Suddenly, a gentle and peaceful man's voice sounded, and it turned out to be coming from the banquet hall.

The next moment, a quiet and indifferent woman's voice said, "Even if it is a person, different ideas will appear at different times. What's more, it's a group of people with their own ghosts.

So it's normal for them to have undercurrent disagreements, and it's all the more alarming to have no disagreements. ”

Wei Tao nodded, and while observing Hong Shunyu, who seemed to be asleep, he continued, "I talked with Senior Sister Sun just now, and then carefully compared the situation of the two sect masters, but it reminded me of an organization that is somewhat ancient and distant. ”

"What organization?"

"The Spirit of the Nine Saints, the heirs of the Nine Saints, gives people the feeling that it is the kind of thing that constantly goes offline and pulls people's heads.

And looking at their style of acting, they will plot if they don't agree with each other, and they should take the more violent northern route. ”

"So, what is the route of the Southern Faction?"

"The southern faction mainly plays a deceptive word, the so-called honey-bellied sword, nothing more than that."

The two talked casually, walked out of the banquet hall slowly, and only then did they set their eyes on the two masters of the Nine Holy Gates.

Mu Yuan's body tensed, and he was nailed there motionless.

It's snowy and overcast, but it's definitely in the afternoon, not after dark.

So, what the hell is he seeing in broad daylight?

That young man in red clothes and red robes is a disciple of Hong Shunyun, yes.

However, there was nothing around him.

Even the Nine Holy Spirits didn't react at all.

So, who is this person talking to?

What made Mu Yuan even more puzzled was that if there was really no one else, what was the situation with the woman's voice that had just come out of the banquet hall?

A few steps away, Mu He finally couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere and suddenly burst out.

In an instant, he crossed a distance of several zhang and fell down with a fist.

In an instant, gray fog rose in front of the banquet room, and ghosts cried wolf, enveloping most of the corridors.

"This is the sound of the Nine Saints, and it has the effect of disturbing people's hearts."

"But compared to the erosion of Brahma's spiritual consciousness that I have just experienced, this little interference is like a breeze blowing on my face, and I don't need to worry about it."

"And the gray mist that gushes out of its body is actually a collection of countless insignificant insects.

The so-called Nine Holy Sounds are the chirps that these insects make together. ”

Wei Tao neither made a move, nor did he dodge.

He just quietly watched Mu He rise forward, and then watched the other party turn around without warning, fleeing into the distance like lightning, standing motionless by the door from beginning to end.

Katsa let out a soft sound.

Mu Yuan Tong Kong shrank suddenly, watching his younger brother's head disappear without warning, leaving only a headless corpse to continue to run forward frantically, and even jumped high over the stone wall, quickly disappearing into the depths of the vast wind and snow.

The whole process is done in a flash of light.

He didn't even get to see who actually made the move.

I couldn't find where Muhe's head went.

It's all like a dream.

No, not even dreams are so weird.

At this moment, Mu Yuan subconsciously lowered his head, unable to suppress a shiver from the Spirit Spirit.

Muhe's head was at his feet.

Mado's eyes were wide open, and they happened to meet his gaze from below.

"Does Senior Brother Wei need to stay alive?"

Immediately after, a cold female voice quietly sounded, echoing in Mu Yuan's ears.

However, he still could not find out where the speaker was hiding.

"No, I'm not interested in them."

Wei Tao did not hesitate and replied concisely.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Yuan suddenly felt a great horror surging into his heart.

Even though he was a martial arts master with sympathy between heaven and man, even if he had the Nine Saints Spirit Protector, he couldn't provide him with any sense of security at all.

It's like falling into a sea of ice without clothes, cold from the inside out, from head to toe.

Katsa!

Another crunch.

Coming directly from his body.

Mu Yuan looked down with difficulty, and saw a big hole in his chest, and the heart inside was gone.

Disappearing with it, as well as his spirit and divine consciousness, seemed to be pouring out along this big hole.

Wei Tao carefully observed the standing corpse, "He is dead, but he is not dead, and his body still maintains a considerable degree of activity. ”

Sun Xiyue said, "What keeps the corpse alive is these insects that can barely be seen by the eyes. ”

Wei Tao fell into thought, and said slowly, "I suddenly had some doubts, whether it was the Nine Saints Descendants who were cultivating these insects, or should it be the other way around, it was these insects who used them as containers for survival, raising them, using them, and driving them. ”

"No matter who uses whom, send them all to Yellow Springs, and the problem will no longer exist."

Sun Xiyue said slowly, her figure gradually changed, and she slowly walked forward.

Wei Tao followed a few steps apart.

Before the two of them walked out of the small courtyard where the banquet hall was located, a sudden thunder suddenly came from the distance of Shigang.

A four-colored lotus platform is rising, and there is a turtle and snake intersecting phantom on it, forcing a large area of wind and snow outward.

Then a gray mist surged in, enveloping everything in it.

The Nine Holy Gates became dead silent at this moment.

Wei Tao was silent at this time.

Sun Xiyue was no longer around.

There was only a gray mist that stretched out, taking over all sight.

Beneath your feet is a looming path, and you don't know where to go.

"Even my perception was disturbed, and it was a bit unexpected to be able to do it to this extent."

Wei Tao was silent for a moment and walked forward along the path.

The whole environment is quiet.

There was no whistling wind, no snow rustling.

Even his own breathing and footsteps were nowhere to be seen.

And the further you go, the hazy gray mist becomes more and more intense, and then it becomes more like substance, as if entering layers of light veil.

There are no gaps, no dead ends, it's like there are countless pairs of little hands, caressing his body.

This feeling is very wonderful, and the benefits to the body are also quite obvious, and even make Wei Tao a little lingering, if there are no other changes, he will be happy to walk for a few days and nights.

However, change always comes quietly and inadvertently.

I don't know where to start, but the fog gradually cleared, and the surroundings seemed to become a little different.

In the endless gray color, a touch of other color is added.

Wei Tao stopped at this moment and looked up at a stone house that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The stone house is boxy, only two meters long and wide, and no more than a few feet high, like a closed coffin.

If you look closely, it looks like a sarcophagus.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes, a faint light flashed in the depths of his eyes, sensing the faint aura of power swimming, as if the sarcophagus and the mist were fused into one, meandering and circulating, endlessly.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound.

An arm that looked like dead wood pushed open the stone cover.

A stiff and twisted old figure sat up.

In an instant, all the gray mist converged and submerged into the person's body.

It also made Wei Tao stunned, and a slight regretful expression appeared on his face.

These gray mist were actually composed of those tiny insects, which had been pouring into his body just now, and then were absorbed by the blood network points that broke the limit of one hundred and nineteen stages, and turned into nutrients to nourish his body.

Even the empty and dead Xuanwu True Meaning showed a hint of active aura.

As a result, all of them suddenly dispersed now, which made him a little reluctant.

The figure slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Wei Tao, and he was also stunned for a moment.

"The cathode yang is born, the body of horizontal training, it is actually such a young great master of anode horizontal training."

After a while, the thin old man opened his mouth in surprise, his voice was hoarse and dry, and it sounded like a knife cut, "It seems that the later Nine Holy Sect people did a good job, not only really awakening us, but also leading a talented martial artist like you to the old man." ”

"You're also a descendant of the Nine Saints?"

Wei Tao showed a gentle smile, "The Shepherd Master brought me here, and said that he wanted me to accept the Nine Holy Spirits into my body, so this old gentleman, when can we really start?" ”

"The Pastoral Master ......"

The thin old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and said, "Old Mu, the one who is now in charge of the Nine Holy Sects should be your descendants. ”

Katsa!

As the old man's voice fell, a crack suddenly opened in the ground not far away.

Another sarcophagus emerges from it.

"Since the surname is Mu, then it should be, I don't know."

The second sarcophagus opened, and a stiff and twisted figure also sat up, "Ling Quan, for this little friend's request to accept the Holy Spirit, are you coming or am I coming?" ”

Hearing the name Ling Quan, Wei Tao couldn't help but move in his heart, and then looked at the eyes of the two old men, and he looked at it a little more.

In the conversation with Sun Xiyue just now, he also had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the founding sect of the Nine Holy Sects.

During the reign of Taizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led by a few surviving descendants of the Nine Saints, they selected children from their families and established the Nine Saints Gate in Lingyungang, on the southern border of Qizhou.

At that time, a few old guys still had a lot of influence, so the opening of the Nine Holy Gate was also a green light, whether it was in the court or in the place, no one raised objections, and even gave a lot of convenience.

And after one of them retired from the army, he served in an idle position in the Pilgrimage Division, which was called Ling Quan.

So, the two old guys in front of them have lived from before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the present?

"You have a descendant to serve as the master of the door, so let me come."

The thin old man named Ling Quan slowly raised his hand, his five fingers open, and his palm was aimed at Wei Tao.

The next moment, his body as if he was a corpse suddenly erupted with a majestic aura.

Facing wave after wave of momentum oppression, Wei Tao still stood motionless, his brows furrowed slightly and still thinking, "Haven't the two predecessors lived from before the founding of this dynasty to the present?" ”

Ling Quan sighed, "Young man, do you know how many years have it been since the Great Zhou was founded?" ”

Wei Tao roughly calculated, "This dynasty has been established for nearly four years. ”

"Four Jiazi ......"

Ling Quan repeated in a low voice, his voice suddenly full of surprise, "You're talking about four Jiazi, nearly two hundred and forty years!?" ”

"Yes, doesn't the old gentleman count, of course four Jiazi is two hundred and forty years."

"No, it shouldn't be like that."

Ling Quan and the old man surnamed Mu glanced at each other, "We should have been awakened a hundred years ago, how could we delay a hundred years backwards for no reason?" ”

"No wonder the old man feels that the vitality in his body has dissipated, even if there is a Nine Holy Spirit to protect him, it has reached a situation where it is difficult to maintain and is about to disintegrate, this is the reason!"

Wei Tao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "A hundred years ago, you did have the possibility of awakening, but you were directly killed by a person who killed the poor worm who was ready to wake you up, so you missed the best opportunity. ”

"In this way, it really should be hated for a thousand years, and then look back at the old saying that it has been a hundred years."

Speaking of this, his tone suddenly turned cold, "I've been waiting for so long, but you have been grinding here, not letting me accept the Nine Holy Spirits, it seems that you think you have lived too long, and you want to welcome the arrival of death as soon as possible." ”
