The death of Yuan Chengjun, the hall master of the Seven Branches, was not clear to everyone in the Seven Points, and even the two hall masters, Lu Shaoting and Xu Qingyang, never thought that their hall master had already died at the foot of the mountain.

Yuan Chengjun's retreat is a common thing, and in the past, Yuan Chengjun often retreated, and even traveled far away.

Therefore, the two did not suspect anything, but brought people to officially settle in Dingzhou Mansion, and at the same time announced the edict to the people of Dingzhou.

When the people of Qianguo came, the entire Dingzhou Mansion had already been completely occupied by the Qifentang.

On the city wall, there are all disciples of the Seven Branches.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the cadre army who led the troops were suddenly confused.

"What's going on?"

Looking at those people, he did not rush closer, but sent his men to inquire.

Soon, the man who sent him came to talk back, but the result was a surprise to him.

"Let's go!"

"Go back and deliver the message!"

Without the slightest hesitation, decisively evacuated.

This is also the old tradition of the cadre army, in case of indecision, withdraw first!

This matter was beyond his control.

As for seizing the city, he didn't think about it at all, he only had 2,000 people under his command this time, and this Dingzhou City also had 10,000 disciples of the Seven Divisions, and if it really fought, he couldn't get half of the benefits.

Why bother to do such a thankless task, these things naturally have people above to worry about.

……

Bianjing,

With the completion of the peace talks between the two countries, Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although the national teacher had promised that he would be responsible for resolving the matter, he still had no bottom in his heart, afraid that the Yan army would suddenly go south.

After all, now that he has lost his way out, the Southern Realm Fu King is eyeing him.

He knew very well that King Fu was waiting, waiting for Bianjing City to be breached, and when he lost the hearts of the people, he could ascend the throne and become emperor in the south.

But before he could celebrate, the people sent to reclaim the territory came with new news.

The state capitals were occupied by the local Jianghu faction, and the people they sent were all blocked.

In the past, even if the Qianguo was abolished, it would still have hundreds of thousands of troops, and the major factions would not openly oppose it.

But now it is not what it used to be, Qianguo has recruited troops twice in succession, hundreds of thousands of troops have died, surrendered, and scattered, and the remaining forbidden troops need to guard Bianjing City, and they have to guard against King Fu in the south, and there are not many people at all.

In the Imperial Garden, the person who reported the news knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Official, those people said that those Fucheng Yan Guo had already given them a reward, and unless Yan Guo removed them, they would never agree to hand over the city to Qianguo." ”

After receiving this news, Zhao Yan, a Qianguo official, suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and his eyes turned white.

In order to make this happen, he spent a lot of money.

Now the treasury has long been empty, and even some of the imperial houses have been sold.

"Poof!"

Under the rush of fire, Zhao Yan suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and scolded angrily: "Yan people are shameless! ”

"Yan people are shameless!"

"Wolf ambition!"

Zhao Yan scolded angrily, trembling slightly.

No matter how stupid he was, he could see what this plan meant.

……

At this time, a mountain villa outside Bianjing City,

Jiang Xihong, the national teacher of Qianguo, warmly received Xuan Nan and his party.

These days, he has been planning to deal with Yan Guo, but he didn't expect Xuan Yan to come to the door.

He thought that this group of monks had already crossed to sea.

Jiang Xihong poured a cup of tea, stretched out his hand and gently pushed it in front of Xuan Nan, and said slowly: "I don't know what is the important matter for Master Xuan Jian to come to the door today?" ”

"Amitabha!"

Xuan Nan showed a sad face, shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Shaolin has been destroyed, how can a person without roots afford to be called a master." ”

"The national teacher is serious."

A smile flashed in Jiang Xihong's eyes.

He knew how proud this group of monks were.

I think that at the beginning, he, the national teacher of the Qianguo country, visited Shaolin, but he couldn't even see the face of the abbot of Shaolin.

But thinking about his current situation, he suddenly lost interest.

They are much better than Shaolin, if the two sides could be united, maybe there would not be today's scene.

Xuan Nan clasped his hands together and said slowly: "The Yan people are good at raising swords, slaughtering the people, and creating heinous killings, which is really against the way of heaven. ”

"What the Yan people do is unrighteous, and it will eventually bring harm to themselves."

"The sword demon Shen Du even slaughtered my fellow martial arts fellows, killed my Shaolin disciples, and the poor monks came to ask the national teacher to help him and eliminate the demon with me!"

A trace of murderous intent burst out from Xuan Nan's eyes, which made Jiang Xihong's heart startled.

Jiang Xihong sighed, shook his head and said, "That devil is strong, and even your temple is not an opponent, what can we do?" ”

It's one thing to cooperate, but it also depends on how you work together.

Xuan Yan had already guessed that Jiang Xihong would not agree to this matter so easily, and he was not surprised in his heart.

Xuan Nan stretched out his hand and took out the golden page from his bosom, and said in a deep voice: "This is left by the abbot, it is my Shaolin inheritance, which records the method of attracting the gate of heaven. ”

"With this technique, we can summon the gate of heaven and lead the heavens to the lower realm!"

Jiang Xihong's expression moved slightly, and his gaze immediately fell to the golden page on the table.

Although the Heavenly Gate Exercise can also summon the Heavenly Gate, it is a long process.

If you want to summon the Heavenly Gate, martial arts must reach a certain realm, otherwise the strength of the Law Elephant Realm alone will never be able to attract the Heavenly Gate.

And listening to the meaning of the mystery, this technique does not seem to require a breakthrough in the realm.

As if he had guessed what Jiang Xihong was thinking, Xuan Nan said slowly: "This technique does not need to reach the realm of martial immortals, just carve a magic circle, and the eight magic elephant powerhouses will work together to attract the heavenly gate and lead out the heavenly people." ”

"This technique should be a sacrificial method!"

This secret method is not very rare, and some ancient tribes have used it.

Sacrifice all kinds of living beings, and use secret methods in exchange for great power.

In their lineage, it is a power given by the gods.

Jiang Xihong, as a national teacher of Qianguo, has naturally seen it, and he has also studied it.

The power of that secret technique is not the power of the real gods, it is more like a kind of demonic technique, but it is not so magical.

The witch Gu path is better than surprise, but in the face of the real strong, it is difficult to have a big effect.

Xuan Nan's face was sad.

At that time, Shaolin had long been without eight strong elephants, so this technique was difficult to complete, and the abbot could only borrow the relics of Shaolin monks and sacrifices to complete this technique.

And with the strength of Shaolin now, it is even more impossible to complete this matter, he can only find the Qianguo royal family.

He knew that the Qianguo royal family still had a foundation, and even their strength had not lost much.

The royal family is the royal family, and the Qianguo is the Qianguo, and there is still a certain difference between the two.

Jiang Xihong's eyes flickered, his eyes were firmly fixed on the golden pages on the table, and his mind fluctuated.

He didn't expect Xuan Nan to take out this thing, it seems that he really has the determination to kill Shen Du.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xihong smiled and said: "Now that the devil is raging in the world, I should do my part!" ”

"This kind of devil, everyone will be punished!"

At this moment, any strength is precious.

Since Shaolin wants to cooperate, he naturally will not refuse.

If there is Shaolin, maybe you can win over one or two warriors.

In these years, Shaolin has been domineering and domineering, but the contacts left behind are also very extensive.

Shaolin is gone, but the power of Buddhism is still there, and this is still a force to be reckoned with.

He doesn't believe in Destiny!

He believes that man will conquer heaven!

"Amitabha!"

Xuan Nan silently recited a Buddha name in his heart, and said secretly: "Abbot, senior brothers and sisters, your revenge will be avenged soon." ”

Even if he gambled everything, he would let the demon go to hell and repent.

Xuan Nan said softly: "In order to prevent being destroyed by that demon, you should still find a secret place. ”

The movement of the Heavenly Gate in the present world is too great.

Once Shen Du is noticed, even if they really succeed, then Shen Du will inevitably be vigilant.

The world is so big, if he really has the heart to hide, how can they find it.

Even he had to admit that the devil's talent was terrifying.

Maybe in a few years, he will really break through the magic image, and then it will be even more difficult to get rid of it.

Jiang Xihong said with a smile: "This matter is simple, just find a blessed place." ”

Qianguo has a lot of blessed lands in his hands, and there is always a suitable one.

"Good!"

Xuan Nan recited the Buddha's name and said softly: "For the sake of safety, you should still choose a secret cave blessed land with sufficient vitality of heaven and earth." ”

The activation of the formation requires the power of heaven and earth, and it is difficult for ordinary cave heaven blessed land to support the current world of heaven.

Jiang Xihong frowned, thinking in his heart, and suddenly smiled: "I think of a good place!" ”

"The ancestor once said that he once found an extraordinary blessed land in one place, which would be opened every ten years."

"Count the time, and it's time to begin!"

……

The Cave Heaven Blessed Land that Xiang Nantian told him had a very special geographical location and was not in the territory of Yan Kingdom.

To be precise, that area was located near a large lake in the southern border of the Qianguo.

According to Xiang Nantian, when they were young, they once entered by chance.

Falling Dragon Lake,

This is where the cave is located, and the lake is said to have been named after a true dragon that fell into it.

This lake encompasses the land of the three prefectures and stretches for thousands of miles.

It is also this lake that divides the Qianguo into two.

After running alone for three days, he came to the vicinity of Falling Dragon Lake.

This entrance is not outside, but below the surface of the lake, at the deepest point of the lake's bottom.

However, after Shen Du came to Shenlong Lake, he accidentally found a person by the lake.

The Buddha of Maha Temple, dust-free!

Seeing Shen Du here, Wuchen also had an unexpected expression.

Although Shen Du made a disguise, this disguise could not be concealed.

Shen Du knew that Wuchen had already seen through him, so he no longer concealed it, but stepped forward and said with a light smile: "Master Wuchen is here, shouldn't he come here for a walk?" ”

This place is a relatively remote place, inaccessible, few people come, why do you come here without dust?

Obviously, Wuchen is probably also here for this blessed land.

The history of the Maha Temple is older than that of Shaolin, and since Xiang Nantian can discover this place, others can naturally find it too.

After all, once the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land appears, it will often create some movements.

And this person is far more knowledgeable about some things than they are.

"Amitabha!"

Wuchen clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha name softly, and did not answer Shen Du's question, but looked at Shen Du in disbelief.

After a long time, he slowly shook his head again, suppressing the doubts in his heart.

This goodbye, he always felt that something seemed to have changed in this person, but he felt that it was unlikely.

After all, it's ridiculous.

"I'm here for the heavens and the earth!"

He doesn't bother to lie and won't lie, so he's outspoken.

"That's a coincidence, so do I."

Shen Du smiled, turned around and walked towards the lake.

Big waves!

The churning water of the lake squeezed in either side, splitting a path.

The lake water dozens of zhang high rises into the sky, like two magnificent giant pillars.

Shen Du's figure gradually disappeared below the wave.

Dark!

Boundless darkness swept in, and the bottomless bottom of the lake was pitch black.

A blazing flame erupts in the palm of your hand, instantly illuminating the bottom of the lake.

At the bottom of the lake, there are ruined stone buildings, buried deep in the lake.

It can be seen that these buildings have been around for a long time, at least for thousands of years.

These are just buildings on the periphery of the blessed land, Xiang Nantian has already said it, but Shen Du still feels a trace of shock at this moment.

Shen Du took out a strangely shaped token and injected the power of the Yuan Shen into it.

That's the key to entry!

The token burst into a flash of light and fell to the bottom of the lake, reflecting on an ancient stone monument.

Thundered!

Suddenly, the mountains around the lake trembled.

The violent sound spread in all directions, and the lake set off monstrous waves, rolling waves, and the power was terrifying.

The stone monument at the bottom of the lake is lit up with lines.

As the lines lit up, a huge crack slowly opened in the depths of the lake, and light penetrated through it and rose into the sky.

In the cracks, there is a strong aura rising into the sky, sweeping up the turbulent waves, this is not a peaceful breath, but a feeling full of depression and dullness, like hell descending on the world.

A strong sense of oppression emanated from it, with a hint of death, which made people palpitate.

Outside the lake, the dust-free people who stopped to watch changed slightly.

Sure enough, it's here!

He no longer hesitated, the Buddha light bloomed around him, and he stepped into the bottom of the lake.

At this moment, the bottom of the lake cracked, and a huge stone-cast beast slowly rose.

Although it is carved from stone, it is lifelike and exquisite, just like a real beast.

This strange beast dragon head, turtle body, four legs like a pillar supporting the sky, is a strange beast Xuanwu.

The entrance to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is in the monstrous mouth opened by this strange beast, and the dark and secluded mouth is like a portal to hell, devouring everything.

The water of the lake poured into the monstrous maw.

The dustless voice came slowly from the side.

"Master Shen, although I don't know where you learned about this place, this place is by no means a good place, so you must be careful."

"Remember, once you're here, don't trust anyone!"

"Remember!"

Wuchen left a word, and without waiting for Shen Du to ask, he had already stepped into the mouth of the dark hole, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"People?"

Shen Du frowned slightly, keenly aware of the abnormality of Wuchen's words.

He has also been to many caves and blessed places, but the creature he has really seen in them is the original celestial.

But since he came, he had no intention of leaving.

As soon as you step inside, the figure disappears completely, and the churning lake returns to calm.
