Chapter 48: Back to the Mountain
……
The movement of the Jingshi spread throughout the Great Song Immortal Realm in two or three days.
The news that the Jade Dragon Zhenren forcibly suppressed the three low-level monks of Taiyuan Gate failed, but was seriously injured and dying, and many melon-eating immortals had not yet fully digested it, and then a bigger and more popular news spread in the fairy world.
The elite of the inner gate of the Yuqing Palace, Liang Feng, the real disciple of the Jade Dragon, chased and killed the three people of the Taiyuan Gate, and they were actually cut into two after being broken through the dantian.
And it was not Taiyuan Gate that killed Liang Feng, it was probably the fourth generation of elite disciples of the Longmen Dojo, Guo Ming in the late Kaiyuan Realm.
But Guo Ming was also killed near Liang Feng by the head of the man.
The traces left at the scene of the battle were terrifying, a mountain was destroyed, and hundreds of kilometers of trees and rocks were turned into powder.
In addition, there were traces of the real person of the Danyuan Realm at the scene, but according to the expert who inspected the traces, it was the destruction caused by the use of a third-order True Fire Spirit Rune, not the strong man of the Danyuan Realm who participated in the battle.
However, although two corpses and a large number of signs of destruction were left behind, the magic weapons and storage bags of the two men were all gone.
And the three minor monks of the Taiyuan Sect, who were the core of the incident, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This makes the situation even more confusing.
After three days of fighting, a colorful sparrow suddenly came from the northwest and hung above the mountain.
The traces of the battle below are still clear.
A gray-haired monk about fifty years old sat on the back of a spirit sparrow, and his powerful divine sense swept across a radius of hundreds of miles like a violent wind, as long as it was within the scope of his divine sense, even the breath of a mouse could not escape tracking, but unfortunately, a full stick of incense time passed, and he found nothing, and finally he could only sigh and retract his divine sense:
"In the past three days, many monks have come to investigate, and the breath is completely chaotic, and the old man can't know the truth of that day, let alone track the whereabouts of the three people in Taiyuan Gate."
Behind the old man, there was a beautiful woman wearing a long black skirt and carrying a sword box, her face was cold and cold, and she said: "Senior brother must have been killed by Taiyuan Gate, and the five elders are invited to call the shots." ”
The old man twisted his beard and groaned: "This matter is confusing, and the old man can't make a decision, but Taiyuan Gate Danchenzi has a hot temper, and he is not good at his generation, and before he understands the cause and effect, he is afraid that it will be troublesome to go to someone." ”
The woman hurriedly said: "In the palace that day, the disciple saw Shizun being seriously injured by three people. ”
The old man sighed and said: "Your master's injury has been carefully examined by several of our elders, it is true that the divine soul has suffered a heavy blow, but it is not necessarily related to the Taiyuan Gate, your master in order to block the restlessness of the spirit sparrow, the third-order magic weapon array was destroyed, resulting in the injury of the divine soul, and then according to you, your master used his divine sense to forcibly oppress the three minor cultivators of the Taiyuan Gate, and suddenly he fainted unconscious, not to mention your master, even if you are you, can the three monks of the Kaiyuan Realm severely damage your divine soul." ”
The woman was speechless.
"So, let's put this matter aside for the time being, after we go back, a few of our old guys will discuss and discuss, and we will definitely pass on the book to Taiyuan Gate and ask for an explanation, but it will not necessarily have a result, because judging from the scars, your senior brother died under the Feiyun Gun of Longmen Mountain, not under the magic weapon of Taiyuan Gate, this matter has spread in the fairy world, and we can't use power to suppress people without reason, and provoke a big war between Taiyuan Gate."
The woman instantly wept and said, "Senior brother's death is unknown, and the master is unconscious, and I ask the fifth elder to find a way to save the master." ”
The old man frowned and said: "Your master's soul has been injured too much, we have exhausted the elixir, and we can only save his life now, and it is difficult to cure it, unless ......"
The woman hurriedly said: "Unless there is any treasure, please ask the five elders to show it, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, the disciple is willing to get it." ”
The old man shook his head slightly and said, "Unless it's a soul rejuvenation fruit." ”
The woman cried and said, "It's rare to return the soul fruit in a hundred years, and the disciple can't help it." ”
The old man twisted his beard and groaned: "It's not nothing, I heard that the soul rejuvenation wood of Taiyuan Gate has bloomed, if nothing else, it will mature after three years, but because your master himself has a conflict with Taiyuan Gate, and it has come to this point, I am afraid that even if Taiyuan Gate has it, Danchenzi may not give it, alas, just search around, there is the breath left by the real fire talisman, if I guess correctly, it should be the one left in the Treasure Pavilion, but I don't know how it was used here." ”
After the old man finished speaking, his divine consciousness was drawn, and the colorful spirit sparrow chirped, spreading its wings and turning into a streamer and flying into the distance.
And not long after the two of them left, another spirit crane broke through the sky, and on the back of the spirit crane, there was a white-haired old man wearing a sackcloth fairy wind bone, and after letting go of the rolling divine sense and searching around, he quickly frowned and left, and went straight to the southwest
Although the Great Song Dynasty Jingshi was prosperous, the mountains and wilderness were vast and sparsely populated.
Xu Chen and the three of them had already escaped two hundred miles away from the battle scene, according to the radius of two hundred miles, if they wanted to find them, they would need to search for an area of more than ten thousand miles, even if the cultivators of the Spirit Transformation Realm came, they would consume a lot of brain cells, not to mention that it was only the Dan Yuan Realm, and the maximum divine sense was only a few hundred miles away.
Moreover, Xu Chen fled to the southeast that night, not to continue to the southwest, so whether it was the people from the Yuqing Palace, the people from Longmen Mountain, or other immortal sects and scattered cultivators, most of them put the main search direction in the southwest, so Xu Chen and the three of them hid two hundred miles away to concentrate on cultivation and recovery, but they were not affected.
Of course, during this period, there may have been a few divine senses that swept through their hidden caves, but because the three of them had already restrained their breath, there was not the slightest fluctuation of divine souls, and naturally no one found out.
Seven or eight days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The three of them had enough elixirs, and there were many rare elixirs, so Xu Chen and Senior Brother Jiu had recovered most of them, almost the same as usual, and Zhao Xuan had also recovered his senses, except for the difficulty of mobility, there was no major problem.
However, the three of them are only in the Kaiyuan Realm, and this series of battles has caused damage to the meridian dantian and even the divine soul, if they can't be properly recuperated, it may have an impact on their future cultivation, especially Zhao Xuan, whose body has suffered heavy damage, and the meridians have been destroyed a lot, even if they are well raised, I am afraid that they will not be able to go too far in the future, and it is a huge problem whether they can even build a foundation.
Therefore, although Xu Chen and Senior Brother Jiu recovered well, their interest was not high.
Zhao Xuan didn't care, and kept comforting the two: "Xiu Xian asked, it was against the sky, how could it be smooth sailing, I was just an orphan back then, I was lucky to survive, and I never thought that I would become an immortal one day, even if I couldn't build a foundation, I was already satisfied, but the ninth senior brother and the little junior brother, you must have a good life and recuperation after you go back, and don't fight with others in the future, and strive for the success of building the foundation, maybe you can also marry the Dan and turn into a spirit." ”
Senior Brother Jiu smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's okay, it's destined by chance, it's useless to think about this matter, now the fairy world is only afraid that it has been fried, let's hurry up and find a way to go back to the mountain, the sooner the better!" ”
So the three of them cleaned up briefly, and then left the hidden cave, and the sword continued to fly hundreds of miles southeast against the wilderness mountain range, and then changed to the direction of Taiyuan Gate.
A few days later, the three of them entered Nanyang County, but they did not go to Nanyang City, which was the closest to the mountain gate, but directly passed through the Black Wind Ridge, and after bypassing a large circle in the reckless mountains, they finally returned to the mountain gate after a long absence.
When they saw the outstanding Chaoyang Peak and the familiar mountain gate, the three of them couldn't help but relax at the same time, and there was a sense of excitement and joy that they would not die.
At this time, Taiyuan Gate was already in chaos.
All the disciples who had descended the mountain had already rushed back to the mountain gate after hearing the news, and even the Great Elder Dan Chenzi, who had gone out to look for the Purple Cloud Transformation Spirit Pill, and the Second Elder, who had been wandering all the year round, hurried back thousands of miles away.
At the highest place of Chaoyang Peak, there is an old temple, a plaque is hung on the lintel, and two ancient and clumsy big characters are written on the Taiyuan, but the handwriting is mottled, after wind and rain, it looks a little bleak.
In the main hall, the three elders sat on the upper seats, and a group of male and female disciples sat on the futons on both sides, and the atmosphere was very serious.
Danchenzi held a jade slip in his hand, his face full of anger.
The second elder and the third elder's eyelids lowered and seemed to be settled, but in fact, their breath was restless.
A group of disciples were even more emotional, angry, dazed, panicked and uneasy.
"The people of Longmen Mountain have just left, and the Yuqing Palace has passed a book to ask for the crime, but what is the truth of this matter, we don't know, the whereabouts of the three people are unknown, life and death are uncertain, and the old man does not dare to make a judgment, but the matter has come out, and there must be a result in the end, but the most important thing at the moment is to get the person back first, to see the person in life, and to see the corpse in death, so that we can negotiate with the Yuqing Palace, so as not to provoke the Xianmen war."
Although Danchenzi was angry, she knew that this matter was not trivial.
Originally, after seeing the Soul Rejuvenation Tree blooming, he felt that this was an opportunity given to him by God to transform into a spirit, so he was very surprised, and went straight to the Yuqing Hall to find his former friend Bai Yun Zhenjun to ask for the refining elixir, and after getting Bai Yun Zhenjun's promise, he was ready to spend three years traveling all over Shenzhou, looking for the remaining elixir.
He received the flying sword transmission from the three elders and rushed back, and it was only half a day earlier than Xu Chen and the others.
And returning to the mountain is two bad news in succession, both of which are like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
The first is that the Soul Restoration Wood actually died.
The second is that Xu Chen and the three of them seriously injured the Yuqing Hall Yulong Zhenren.
And now all kinds of news have been flying all over the sky, the three disciples under the sect have no news and do not say anything, and the people from Yuqing Hall and Longmen Mountain have also come to inquire one after another, and their tone is aggressive, naturally they want to ask for an explanation.
The second elder was tall and thin, his beard was gray, and he looked like half a hundred, but in fact he was over a hundred years old, and the aura of the peak of the True Yuan Realm could not hide it, and he lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice:
"This matter is complicated, my apprentice Xu Chen is only fifteen years old, and his cultivation is not in the early Kaiyuan realm, and Lu Yuan and Zhao Xuan's two teachers and nephews are only in the middle and late stages of the Kaiyuan realm, even if the three of them join forces, how can they beat the Yulong real people in the Danyuan realm unconscious, and the people of the Yuqing Palace want to use this to press us, so they are not afraid of the jokes of the world."
The third elder, who described him as emaciated and emaciated, also nodded and said: "Senior brother is reasonable, besides, it is rumored that Liang Feng, a disciple of Yulong Zhenren, and Guo Ming, a disciple of Longmen Mountain, both of them did not die at the hands of our faction, so why do you need to explain to them!" ”
Danchenzi's cheeks twitched slightly, and he sighed: "The immortal realm was once a place to be reasonable. ”
The two elders were silent together, and the disciples were even more depressed.
When I first went up the mountain to cultivate, I always felt that cultivating immortals was to live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness without fighting with the world, and to be pure and unwilling to take the pill and practice qi, and one day become an immortal and live forever.
However, it was only after going down the mountain that he realized that the cultivation path was even more cruel, and the elixir magic weapon had to be found by oneself, and the advancement also depended on great chance, and it was not a meditation mind that could lead to immortality.
To put it bluntly, immortality is to take your life with the sky, collect the treasures of the world, and seize the power of heaven and earth to strengthen yourself.
And once you set foot on this road, unless you really see through life and death, you will not hesitate to step on dangerous mountains and rivers for an elixir and a strange treasure, and you will have to face the threats of demon beasts, poisonous snakes and other monks.
Therefore, the road to immortality seems to be easy in the eyes of mortals, but the hard work is only self-knowledge.
Now that the soul tree is dead, Danchenzi knows that this life may be hopeless, and he is a little disheartened, but as the highest cultivator, he can't ignore this crisis, otherwise the disciples will face the overall situation of life and death, and if he is not careful, the Taiyuan Gate will be doomed.
If the matter is not clarified, Yuqing Hall and Longmen Mountain will definitely not give up.
But just when everyone was depressed, suddenly Dan Chenzi's face changed and he stood up, stepped out, and turned into a streamer of light and went out of the mountain gate.
The two elders also looked surprised, and flew out of the main hall together.
The disciples didn't know why, and they all got up and ran out of the main hall, either with the sword or in the air to look in the direction where the three elders went.
