In the soaphorn ridge in the depths of the white clouds, the mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, and there is a naturally formed sinkhole on the mountainside behind the ridge, which is deep and mysterious. On the edge of the sinkhole, there was an old man.

The old man had white hair and wrinkled face, but his eyes were bright. He was dressed in an old robe, and he looked leisurely. He has been sitting here for a long time, whether it is spring flowers and autumn moon, or winter snow and summer thunder, he sits there quietly, as if isolated from the world.

On this day, the sun shines through the white clouds and sprinkles on the sinkhole, and the old man is sitting there quietly reading a book, the old man's name is Faquan, and he is the abbot of the Saponaria Temple.

The book he was reading in his hand was not a Buddhist scripture, but an idle book "The Legend of the White Snake". He frowns and smiles, as if savoring every word in the book.

On this day, a wizard also came, and he heard that there was a mysterious martial arts master here, so he came here. After he saw Faquan presiding, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This old man is really a master of the world!

Abbot Faquan has successfully completed his ascetic life since childhood, and began a three-year retreat. At the end of the three years, his master personally went to the gate and called him "Dharma Spring". The Zen master came out in response to the call in the gate, and the doors and windows of the closed room were not damaged, which was a sign of complete enlightenment. After that, he was ordered by his teacher to travel all over the mainland, and finally went to a barren forest in the Saojiaoling Mountain to meditate in Xi.

Not long after, the local believers explained that they knew that their own station in the Soaphorn Ridge had built a dojo called the Soaphorn Temple in ancient times. In the dense forest, among the barren smoke and vines, the Zen master actually found the ruined Buddha, so the Zen master Fahai burned a finger and vowed to rebuild the dojo.

The wizard asked Faquan for advice on martial arts, and the old man smiled and nodded, and began to teach him some martial arts tips. The wizard was fascinated by what he heard, and he felt that his martial arts level had improved greatly.

The wizard suddenly stopped talking, and Faquan said suspiciously: "What do you have to say, though?" The wizard hesitated, "In a few days, four people will come to the Sapocatronia Temple to seize the Black Soul Rejuvenation Grass." ”

Faquan said angrily: "Do they dare to break into my soaphorn temple? The wizard said cautiously: "You don't know how powerful that demon girl Lin Weiyin is. ”

Abbot Faquan looked puzzled: "Lin Weiyin? What's so great about her? The wizard lowered his voice: "The most powerful thing about her is that she can control people's minds. The last time I fought her, I was just a little negligent, and she took advantage of the opportunity to escape. ”

Abbot Faquan frowned: "So, we have to find a way to fight her?" ”

The wizard nodded, "Exactly. One way I came up with was to make an enchantment out of a spiritual artifact. This barrier can resist her mental control, and we can defeat her under this barrier. ”

Abbot Faquan's eyes lit up: "This method is not bad. It's just that spiritual treasures are not easy to find. ”

The wizard smiled, "Actually, I've found it." On the top of Nanshan, there is an ancient well, and there is a spiritual treasure in the ancient well-the demon sword. ”

Abbot Faquan was overjoyed: "Demon slaying sword? That's great. We hurriedly sent someone to fetch it. ”

The wizard shook his head again: "Although the Demon Slaying Sword is good, it is not easy to get it. The aura around that ancient well was extremely strong, and ordinary mortals couldn't get close to it. It requires a cultivator to obtain it at an extremely fast speed, and it cannot be injured by the aura of the ancient well. ”

Abbot Faquan couldn't help but hesitate. This may seem like a simple task, but in reality it is extremely dangerous. He looked around and his gaze fell on Huo Gongtoutuo, who had just arrived.

Huo Gongtoutuo felt the gaze of the Faquan host, and stepped forward: "Lord Host, let me go." I am still a shallow cultivator, and I don't have enough strength to resist the aura of that ancient well, but I am willing to take the Demon Slaying Sword for you at the cost of my life. ”

Abbot Faquan looked at Huo Gongtoutuo gratefully: "With your words, I am relieved." It's just that this time it's too dangerous, and I can't bear to let you take this risk. ”

Huo Gongtoutuo smiled indifferently: "Lord Host, born as a human being, who is willing to easily lose his life?" It's just that if I can share the worries of the presiding lord, it will be worth dying. ”

The wizard listened to it on the side, and said in his heart that this Huo Gongtoutuo was very loyal. So he took out a talisman from his bosom and handed it to Huo Gongtoutuo: "This is a talisman specially prepared by me, if you stick it on your chest, you can temporarily resist the aura of that ancient well." Just remember that you must remove the charm within thirty-six hours, otherwise the aura will invade the mind, and it will be difficult to expel it. ”

Huo Gongtoutuo took the spell, saluted the wizard and the abbot of the Faquan, and immediately set off. Looking at his departing back, both of them sweated in their hearts. Only the wizard and the Faquan presided over it clearly, and the black soul regeneration grass was all about whether the demon slashing sword could be obtained.

The wizard sighed, "I don't know if the Demon Slaying Sword can stop that demon girl from seizing the Black Soul Rejuvenation Grass." ”

Abbot Faquan laughed and said, "You don't have to worry, they won't be able to capture the Black Soul Rejuvenation Grass no matter what." ”

The wizard was a little surprised: "Why did the host say it?" ”

"My ancestors once crushed a white snake under a tower." Fa Quan's voice was low and powerful, and his words were filled with the heaviness of history.

The wizard frowned, he had heard of the legend, but he didn't understand why Faquan would bring it up at this time.

"I just don't want to use the magic weapon inherited from my ancestors." Faquan's words were full of helplessness and determination. His words confused the wizard even more, he didn't know what the magic spring meant.

"Why are you doing that?" The wizard asked, "Don't you want to use your magic weapon to protect your soaphorn temple?" ”

Faquan was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Although the power of the magic weapon is powerful, there is a price to pay for using it. My ancestors' magic weapon once suppressed a white snake. ”

The wizard was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that the white snake would really suppress it. He looked at Faquan, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

"What are you going to do?" The wizard asked.

Fa Quan's eyes were full of determination, "I must catch that demon girl named Lin Weiyin." ”

The wizard looked at Faquan and couldn't help but think of his own youthful youth, when he had such lofty ambitions, but as time passed, his dreams and enthusiasm were smoothed out by the cruelty of reality. And now, this old man still retains that perseverance and courage, which makes him both surprised and admired.

"Well, since you've decided, then I'll support you." The wizard said, "But you have to be careful, that Lin Weiyin is not a simple character. ”

Abbot Faquan nodded, "I know, I'll be careful." ”
