The water of Yangtian Pond is thousands of feet deep, and the spring is silent and endless.

Thousands of years have sunk in the water, and the cold light of the sword blade has not been tried.

The night was getting deeper, the four of us fell to the cold ground, and the Great Elder of the Far Mountains turned around from behind the tree, slowly approached us, sighed, looked at the few of us who fell to the ground, and muttered, "Hey! I've also suffered a few of you, but fortunately, I took advantage of the good spirit behind Xiao Hyunzi, otherwise I would have to show up in person, if that happens, I will alarm the old guys of the Evil Sky Alliance, and some things will not be easy to do, I can't openly violate the agreement between the two alliances, and I can't stay here for a long time, and I can only help you get here......" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and four soft light clusters entered the bodies of several of us, and then he disappeared in place.

The silent mountain forest, the mountain wind kept caressing the four of us, and the occasional "whistling" sound of the wind came out in the air, which highlighted the silence of the night.

The first to wake up was Xiao Shi's senior, who had some blood at the corners of his mouth, opened his somewhat dry lips, held his head, rubbed his dizzy head, and sat up with his body bold.

Xiao Shi glanced at the few of us who fell to the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, pinched the fingers with his right hand, chanted words in his mouth, and then pointed at us with the index finger of his left hand, and shot a ball of energy light into the bodies of several of us.

With the submersion of this energy, the three of us also woke up from the coma, I touched my head, now my head has a painful feeling as if it is about to crack, and the seniors next to me also sat up with their heads covered like me, I glanced at my watch, it is only about three o'clock in the morning, and now there are still snowflakes on the top of the mountain, and the mountain wind is howling.

Xiao Shi saw that all of us had woken up, and said to everyone: "Everyone runs their own exercises, hurry up and recover your strength and physical strength, and recuperate your mental strength, time is pressing, we can't delay any longer." ”

Hearing Xiao Shi say this, everyone also stood up and sat cross-legged. Each of them started their own exercises, and the time passed like this, minute by minute.

The snowflakes outside don't know when they will stop, and the soaked clothes on our bodies have already dried under the drying of our own skills.

Xiao Shi watched us regain our former vigor one by one, and there was a relieved look on his face, but then his brows tightened.

At this time, Lang Yu got up and came to Xiao Shi's side and said, "Husband, what happened last night, why did those two people from the Evil Heaven Alliance leave?" Did they just let us go so easily? ”

The question she asked was also the question that several of us had in our hearts, Xiao Shi just shook his head silently, and replied: "Let's speculate on this question when we have time in the future, the most important thing for us at the moment is to seize the time to find the key, and not let the key fall to the side of the Evil Sky Alliance." ”

In the end, Xiao Shi said to us again: "Through yesterday's observation, no problems were found in the east peak, west peak, and north peak, only a faint energy fluctuation at the peak of the south peak, today we must go to the south peak to explore it and find the place where the energy fluctuation is emitted." ”

We nodded yes one by one, and then Xiao Shi turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Dare to ask Brother Dao's surname, thank you for your timely help yesterday, I thank you on behalf of the three of us." As he spoke, Xiao Shi bowed and saluted, and behind him, Lang Yu and I also bent down to salute the man.

The man flashed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I'm just at the right time, you don't have to be like this." As he spoke, he dodged to the side.

A few of us saw that the middle-aged man did not give us a gift, and also saw his honest appearance, and had a good impression of him, and then, I heard him a man and said: "I might as well tell you Daoist friends directly, in Xia Qin Ming, it is a person from the underground city, that is, a person from the underground world." ”

When we heard that he was from the underground world, the three of us were obviously surprised, and it was me, so I opened my mouth wide and said in surprise: "It turns out that the world really exists, why haven't I ever found it, I just heard the master mention the underground world, but I have never been in contact with it, senior, you can say that it is the first person from the underground world I have seen." ”

At this time, Qin Ming nodded and continued, and said: "Our underground world has existed for a very long time, our history can be traced back to the prehistoric period, our history has time, let me give you a detailed introduction, now let's talk about it first, this time our elders will send me up for two purposes, one is to contact your alliance, and the other is to help you get the half of the key." ”

When Qin Ming said half of the key, we were all stunned, and the first to ask was Xiao Shi, he asked, "Brother Dao, what do you mean by this half key?" Isn't the key here in Huashan complete? "Yes, it's not complete, the other half is kept with the Council of Elders of our underworld." Qin Ming nodded.

When we learned the news, the three of us were shocked and couldn't speak, even though Xiao Shi and Lang Yu had lived for more than a thousand years, they were also shocked when they heard the news.

I heard Lang Yu ask: "Brother Dao, how can it be half a key, the news we got is that there is no such information, what is going on?" ”

Seeing Qin Ming smile bitterly, he said: "This history is very far away, and now the eldest elder of our Elders Church has only heard the history of this key from the elders of the previous generations, the key was destroyed in a war between the earth and the aliens, and it was divided into two parts, one part was obtained by the people of our underground world, according to legend, the half we got was handed over to one of our elders by a tribal elder on Kunlun Mountain at that time; The other part was obtained by a tribe of human beings on the ground at that time, and our half of the key has been well kept in the underground world, while the other half of the key has changed hands several times and is now missing, this time I heard that Huashan will produce a strange treasure, and a great opportunity is that half of the key, so after the decision of the Elders of the underground world, I was sent to contact you, and this is how things have happened. ”

After hearing this, the three of us all breathed a long sigh of relief, I thought to myself that this key would cause such a big movement, and all forces would want to get it, it seems that this key is indeed too important.

Xiao Shi saw that everyone also understood the importance of Huashan obtaining the key this time, and probably understood the situation of the key, so he ordered everyone to set off and rush to the top of the South Peak.

The three of them looked back at me as they walked, for fear that I would fall behind, because the current Huashan was full of unknown dangers, if it weren't for my drag, maybe they would have acted faster.

In this way, it only took me about half a day to rush to the highest part of the South Peak, at this time Xiao Shi smiled at my tired appearance, and said to me: "Xiao Hyunzi, this South Peak is the highest main peak of Mount Hua, and it is also the highest peak of the Five Mountains, take a good feel for the artistic conception here and the beauty of Mount Hua, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation." After saying that, he ignored me and went to sit quietly with the three of them.

Staying where I was, I took a breath, ate some dry food in my arms, calmed down and recovered my strength, and then stood on a rock and looked around as the predecessors of Xiao Shi said.

I stood at the top of the South Peak, and suddenly felt that the sky was close at hand, and the stars could be picked. Raise your eyes and look around, but see the mountains undulating, the sky is reckless, the Yellow River Weishui is like silk, the desert plain is like silk like cotton, take in the bottom of the eye, make people really appreciate the majestic and majestic atmosphere of Huashan, enjoy the magical taste of walking on the heavens and floating clouds.

The south side of the peak is a thousand zhang cliff, standing upright like cutting, facing a fault deep gully, looking down at the bottomless, giving people a sense of oppression like facing the abyss.

Now I am standing alone on the top of Mount Hua, looking around the surrounding mountains, I really have a feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance, the vast world, can not cover the glitz. Mountains and rivers depend on each other, looking at all beings in the world. The mountains are vast, and there are countless joys and sorrows. Time flies, the years are in a hurry, leaving a few smiles and sighs.

My body stayed here, looking ahead, but my eyes were blurred, I didn't know where I was looking, although the mountain wind was howling, but my mind was calm.

In my mind, all the scenes and stories I saw in my dreams and in meditation appeared, and I slowly read these human accidents carefully, and countless memories of the past quietly emerged...... Even though I'm in the middle of the crowd now, it's so noisy, and I feel like it's so quiet.

Only mountains, only clouds, only green pines and cypresses, appeared in my eyes and in my heart. At this moment, I unconsciously opened my heart and accepted the baptism of the majestic atmosphere of Huashan, and baptized the dirt and filth of my soul. At this moment, I finally realized the beauty of Huashan as mentioned by Xiaoshi's predecessors, it is not in the bustle, not in the hustle and bustle, but in the silence.

I just stood quietly, thinking quietly, the air exuded a faint fragrance, it was the smell of nature, it was the smell of mountains and water. The mountains and peaks, the clouds and mist are intertwined, and between the movement and the quiet, it is very interesting.

At this time, I gradually have a trace of enlightenment, this feeling of enlightenment will only appear when my level is raised, all the sweat pores of my body are all open at this time, exuding the filthy qi in the body to the outside of the body, at this time, the exercises in my body start to run on their own, and run quickly according to the practice route.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, there were no mountains, no clouds, no people, no everything. I was the only one standing between the heavens and the earth, feeling the huge energy between the heavens and the earth filling my body little by little, and this supplement slowly turned into a whirlpool, driving all the energy between the surrounding heaven and earth to rush into my body.

The speed at which my body absorbed energy attracted the attention of Xiao Shi's predecessors who were not far away, and the three of them were also surprised when they saw the energy between heaven and earth converging in this incredible vortex state, because, in their cognition, they had never encountered such a situation, and the energy between heaven and earth poured down on my body.

The first to react was Xiao Shi's senior, he alertly transmitted the voice to Lang Yu and Qin Ming beside him, and said: "Xiao Hyunzi is going to be promoted, the three of us are around him, and immediately protect him on the side, so as not to disturb his promotion, so that he will be disgusted." So, the three seniors of Xiao Shi came to my side silently and acted as protectors for me.

I was still immersed in the feeling of this huge energy impact, and I didn't know anything about the actions of Xiao Shi's predecessors, or I still stood still on the spot, my eyes were scattered and confused.

Senior Xiao Shi looked at me, nodded incessantly, and said in his heart: "Jueming, that old guy has accepted a good disciple, and his understanding is extremely high, I just reminded him casually, I didn't expect this kid to rise to a big level, it's really not easy!" ”

In this way, I stood still in the same place, and some tourists also looked at me out of curiosity, and found that I was standing there motionless like a wooden man, and did not think much about it, thinking that I was just there in a daze, and the time passed like this.

I don't know how long I stood there, but when I came to my senses, there weren't many people on the top of the mountain, and this enlightenment made me feel like a long time, and it seemed like it was just a moment, which gave me a very unreal feeling, and then I found that the energy in my body was full of energy that I couldn't imagine, and there was an inexhaustible strength all over my body.

I looked at Xiao Shi's seniors and them, they were all nodding and smiling at me, and the three of them almost said to me in unison, "Congratulations! ”

When I heard the congratulatory voices of the three seniors, I was also a little embarrassed, scratched my head and said: "Seniors, I didn't expect it to become like this, to improve such a big piece, I have to thank you for being a senior!" "Haha, it's your kid who has a good understanding, what does it have to do with me?" Senior Xiao Shi laughed.

The laughter of Xiao Shi's predecessors attracted the attention of several people who had not yet descended the mountain, and Lang Yu gently pinched Xiao Shi's arm with her small hand, and then he noticed that there were ordinary people around, and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing the expressions of Xiao Shi's predecessors, several of us also chuckled, and we were in a good mood, as if we had laughed at the depression in our hearts in the past two days.

Xiao Shi looked at the sky and found that it was still early, so he beckoned a few of us to find an open space, took out the dry food and water that had been prepared a long time ago, and we sat on the ground, resting while eating dry food.

Night slowly fell on the top of the South Peak Huashan, and there were no tourists at the top of the mountain, only the occasional birdsong was heard from time to time. The surroundings were a little dim, but that didn't stop us from seeing normally.

After resting for a while, Xiao Shi stood up and said to everyone: "It's almost time now, let's go separately to investigate, be careful in everything, and remind everyone as soon as you find it!" We all nodded and went into meditation again to survey our surroundings.

The position we are now in is on the Luoyan Peak of the south peak of Huashan, which is the highest place of Huashan, surrounded by pines and cypresses, several miles, dense shade. There is a building on the peak called Jintian Palace, also known as the White Emperor Temple, which is dedicated to the god of Huashan Shaohao.

There is also Laojun Cave on the top of the south peak, there are two big characters of "true source" on the rock at the highest point, in addition, there are Laozi Peak, alchemy furnace, gossip pond on the south peak, these attractions are related to the legend of Laozi.

There is Taishang Spring in the north of Laojun Cave, the east stream is down, now called "Yangtian Pool", the spring water is green all the year round. Under the cliff to the east, there is the "South Heavenly Gate" stone workshop.

When I explored a position with water at the top of the mountain, I felt a slight fluctuation, this fluctuation was very weak, and I couldn't find it at all without careful observation, and then I opened my eyes, and was just about to remind them, they all opened their eyes from the state of meditation, and almost at the same time said, "Taishang Spring!" We glanced at each other, nodded and got up and walked briskly in the direction of Taishang Spring.

When a few of us came here, I found that the area of this Taishang Spring is not large, only one meter square, but it gives me the feeling that the water of this pond is bottomless, Xiao Shi said on the side: "Don't underestimate this Taishang Spring, no matter how long the drought here is not raining, no matter how long the rain is flooded, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, the water in the pool has never changed, and it is all hard granite, where does the water come from?" So that's the magic of it, too. ”

After listening to Xiao Shi's introduction to the magic of this spring, a few of us began to open the Tianshen Eye and explore the situation inside this spring.

When I looked at this spring with the eyes of heaven, this spring water gave me a sense of vicissitudes of life, and when I went deeper along this spring, I found that the inside of this spring was not such a small surface area as it seemed on the surface, but the deeper it went, the larger the space, and the depth of this spring made me feel shocked, because this spring water runs through the entire mountain range of the south peak!

When I looked at Xiao Shi and them in amazement, the expressions on their faces were similar to mine, and they were all sighing at the magic of this spring.

We began to carefully explore every corner of the mountain range where the spring water was located, and while we were observing, we only heard Xiao Shi's mouth utter "Huh? Is this what it is? We heard him point to us: "You can observe with the eye of heaven that this depth is almost 1,500 meters away, and there seems to be a spring there, and there is an extremely faint energy emanating from that small spring. ”

The other three of us followed Xiao Shi's instructions, and it took a long time to find that position, just as Xiao Shi said, although the energy was absent, but the feeling was very strong. "I guess this is it." Lang Yu said.

Several of us nodded in agreement, and then Xiao Shi asked everyone a very sharp question, he said, "Now that we know the location, how do we take it out?" Do you guys have any good ideas? When this question was spoken, we were all stunned, and we all lowered our heads and began to think about it.

This spring water does not change throughout the year, but it is also cold and abnormal to the touch, and then down to that depth, not to mention cold, even the pressure of the water is unbearable for ordinary people.

Just when a few of us were thinking about it, Lang Yu next to us suddenly seemed to have an idea, and said to a few of us: "I have an idea, I don't know if it can be done?" As soon as everyone heard that she had an idea, they all gathered around, and Xiao Shi urged: "Yu'er, you have a good idea, come and hear it!" ”

I only heard Lang Yu say: "The energy of several of us should be able to materialize outside the body, but the distance is limited, if we join forces to connect each other's energy, it may be possible to reach that position, and then we can work together to take out that thing, right?" "Haha, yes, that's a good idea! Give it a try! Xiao Shi slapped his thigh and smiled.

While talking, a few of us began to try, because after all, each other's energy is not the same, and the skills are not the same, so we have to adjust the frequency of each other's energy fluctuations to a consistent state, so that it is possible to connect each other's energy, among the four of us, my skill is the weakest, so the three of them take the frequency of my energy fluctuations as the basic frequency, and gradually try, when everyone is basically similar to my energy fluctuations, Xiao Shi suggests that you test the effect first, and we aim for a stone not far away, When the energies of several of us were connected, we slowly approached the stone and easily guided the stone over, which greatly increased our confidence.

The next thing is the real attempt, Xiao Shi gave us a few divisions of labor, because the first person's energy output is the largest, so of course Xiao Shi is ranked first, followed by Qin Ming, the next is Langyu, and the last one is me, although I am the weakest one, I am also the most critical link, because in the end, I have to control the energy to find the half of the key, and the key to success is my link.

When we were all ready, Xiao Shi took a deep breath and mobilized all the energy in his body, forming a column of energy as thick as a fist stretched out to the spring, and we all observed it together with the Heavenly Eye, when it reached a position of almost six hundred meters, the energy pillar stopped stretching, we knew that Xiao Shi's predecessors must have reached the limit, and the next was Qin Ming, he also followed Xiao Shi's example, his energy column stopped at almost five hundred meters, and then it was Lang Yu, she also reached a position of more than four hundred meters, I just got to the location of the little spring, and then I came to the most critical part of me.

I urged all the energy in my body, and I followed their techniques to connect the energy pillars, and I probed my divine sense into the eye of the small spring.

In this small spring, I feel that the space is not very large, but there is also a depth of more than 100 meters, but the shape here is the shape of a gourd, there is a wave of energy emitted from here, but I can't find his specific location, which increases the difficulty of my exploration, when I finally finished groping the upper part of the gourd, I feel a sense of dizziness in my head, and my heart is a little hot, but I am still holding on, because I know that the opportunity may only be this onceand must not be given up easily.

I gritted my teeth and persevered, I continued to grope and now I felt the energy deeply, "Poof! I spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the three Xiao Shi on the side were also shocked when they saw me spurting blood, and they all cast inquiring eyes, and I had blood flowing from my mouth, and nodded to them to continue.

They saw that I was still persevering, so they didn't give up, and at this time, they all oozed fine beads of sweat, and I knew that several of them were also at the limit, and I had to speed up!

Thinking of this, I bit the tip of my tongue and raised my spiritual power to the maximum, and at this time, the speed of the exercises in my body was running at an unprecedented speed, replenishing the dried energy in my body.

A wave of dizziness came again, I knew that I had reached the maximum limit, but this key was around me, it was a pity to give up like this, but at this time I had more than enough strength in my heart, and my sense of loss was in my heart, ready to take back the energy.

Just when I slowly put away the energy column, at the intersection of the upper part and the lower half of the gourd shape, I accidentally saw a flash of metal, fleeting, I couldn't help but light up in front of me, and immediately urged the energy pillar to probe the past, when I urged the energy column to the flash position, I found that it was the first half of a sword, did I find it!

At this time, I was extremely excited, and when I urged the energy pillar to touch this sword blade, a simple and ancient aura was transmitted from this sword blade, and the thickness of this breath seemed to carry countless long years.

I slowly tried to use the energy to lift the half of the blade, and when it was lifted out of the crack in the stone, the light on the blade was swirling, and the cold air was overwhelming, and a huge energy instantly gushed out from the blade. The three Xiao Shi who were meditating also clearly felt this huge energy fluctuation, and they all lifted their spirits and increased the output of energy.

I controlled the pillar of energy, and guided the blade to the surface of the spring little by little, closer and closer, closer and closer, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters, when we could faintly see the shadow of the sword blade with the naked eye by the pool, and when we were almost close to the water, behind a pine tree beside us, a figure appeared.

When this figure appeared, he shot quickly towards the surface of the spring, and in just a moment, he grabbed the blade of the sword that had not yet fully appeared in the pool water, and then this person kicked the water, and the figure slowly fell to our side.

We saw that we were killed halfway out and bit gold, and we were also angry, this sword blade was obtained by our hard work, and we couldn't just fall into the hands of others casually, several of us got up one after another and looked at the comer.

When this person turned around with the blade in his hand, we saw clearly that it was Ji Tian, who had been in contact with us yesterday!

He looked at us one by one with angry faces, and he was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "You have worked hard just now, it really took a lot of effort to take this sword blade out of such a deep pool of water, and now that this sword blade is in my hands, we can calm down and talk to each other." ”

Xiao Shi frowned and said: "Brother Ji Tian, your purpose is nothing more than to be able to be chosen one day in the future, this I, as a member of the alliance, can clearly answer you, our alliance is for the future of the entire earth, and your tribe is also included, so please rest assured, Brother Ji Tian, besides, it is useless for you to get this sword blade, because it is incomplete, how about returning it to us?" It's better for your tribe, isn't it? "Can you really call the shots?" Ji Tianyou asked with certainty. "I can call the shots, as long as you give it back to us, I swear to God!" Xiao Shi said loudly, and at the same time, he raised the three fingers of his right hand and pointed to the sky.

We practice the heaviest oath, when Xiao Shi made an oath, Ji Tian did not hesitate, and gently pushed the sword blade towards us, and the sword blade slowly approached us in the air.
