Thunder in the spring sky!

It's not often that you see such a spectacle!

Although for the people of the town, it is not uncommon to encounter such unreasonable celestial phenomena as clear sky and rain, tengu eating the sun, but since today, there will naturally be more conversations after tea and dinner.

But ordinary people don't have too many explanations and sayings for such a strange scene, and can only try to understand it in the direction that people want, such as emptying the rain is a good omen, especially on the day of the start of building and building, if you encounter such weather, you will chant a few words "aquatic wealth, fish town house, water and fish are rich and rich" Yunyun, this is the best auspicious omen, and then for example, Tiangu Food Day, every household will take a rice spoon to knock on the rice basin, intended to scare away the tengu, and return a bright future in the world, etc., and so on, Each has its own specialty.

The poor boy Chu Yuanxiao had nothing to do today, squatting under the old locust tree at the east entrance of the town, when there were a few explosions of thunder in his ears, he was looking up and carefully observing the old bronze bell with mottled marks on the top of his head, carefully and thoughtfully, but at this moment when he was drawn by the thunder, before he turned his head to find the source of the thunder, he was suddenly surprised to find that the inscription in the bell mouth had changed suddenly!

The boy had never read a book, so he didn't know what those words were before, and what they had become after the change, but he was still shocked, and although he had found that the inscriptions were different every day, he had never seen such a strange sight happen right under his nose as he did today...

It's just that before the boy could react to such a change, another strange scene came unexpectedly again, and the tall sword mountain called the dragon's back three miles away on the east side of the town showed its full picture without warning! The thick layer of clouds that shrouded the upper half of the mountain on Sword Peak all the year round suddenly began to surge after that thunder, rolling and boiling, and a loud dragon groan resounded through the nine skies! Then a huge and majestic black shadow appeared behind the boiling clouds, from a distance its shape is like a dragon, although the real body has not yet been seen, but from the shadow that covers the sky and the sun, you can see the huge size of its body, looping back and forth on the sword peak, the wind and thunder around the body gathered, like a god descending into the world!

If the clear sky thunder is only a somewhat bizarre celestial phenomenon, then at this moment, hundreds of families and thousands of people in the town are counted as one at this moment, looking at the miracle that suddenly appeared on the east side of the town, without exception, they were shocked and speechless, and they were stunned!

At the same time, in the small town and township school, the green shirt teacher who was sitting in the study and quietly flipped through the book looked at the paperweight on the desk and suddenly glowed with a layer of dark light, although the light was black, but it was not gloomy, but in the halo flow, the entire study room was shrouded in a layer of soft ink, the reader couldn't help but sigh softly, and then stood up, picked up the paperweight again, stepped out, and disappeared.

When the Qingyi Juku master reappeared, he had already arrived at the Xuannu Lake north of the town, and after the paperweight in his hand appeared, that layer of dark light rose with the storm again, directly reflecting the entire lake surface began to glow with a layer of ink, and the lake water in the center of the lake slowly began to boil in the place where the ink color reached, although this scene was not as exciting as the change on the back of the dragon in the east of the town, but all the immortal family members in the town who were responsible for cultivation all felt a huge coercion suddenly appeared in the north of the town, which is exactly the same as the pressure emitted by the huge dragon shadow at the east entrance of the town, is vast and breathtaking!

However, this is still not the end, almost at the same time, two equally domineering coercion spread from the depths of the Golden Pillar Mountain in the west of the town and the red maple forest in the south of the town! It was accompanied by two deafening beast roars, one from the west of the town and the other from the south of the town!

At this time, the four-colored pillars of light of blue and white and red Xuan came together, like a sharp sword in the sky, straight into the sky, and enveloped the entire Yanguan Town in an instant!

At this moment, just like the blue-shirted Confucian who appeared on the shore of Xuannu Lake, there was a thin, tall, white-haired old man with wide robes and big sleeves who appeared on the edge of the red maple forest in the south of the town, holding a bladeless long sword as black as ink in his hand, and a bald stonemason appeared under the golden pillar cliff in the west of the town, with a string of one hundred and eight white jade Buddha beads in his hand!

As for the closed-eyed old Taoist who was still fighting with the king of the clouds, even if he had always been gentle and kind to others, he couldn't help but look a little ugly at this time, the big sleeves of the Taoist robe were windless, he raised his hand angrily, and after shaking his sleeves with one hand and waving them suddenly, the two of them disappeared from the backyard of the Taoist temple together in the spiritual temple in the north and south of the town, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived at the foot of the dragon's back mountain, not far from the two tombs standing at the foot of the mountain.

The old Taoist said in a cold tone, and said in a deep voice: "One hand of yin and yang technique to attract the salt official array, so that the four spirits appear at the same time, the sky is shocking, Yun Zhongjun is really a good means!" ”

The old man standing not far from the old Taoist heard this, his face did not have much joy, but looked a little dignified, and there was a little helplessness, he turned his head and looked around at the four huge beast-shaped phantoms that surrounded the town, and said in a deep voice: "If I say that this matter has nothing to do with me, do you believe it?" ”

Hearing this, the old Taoist elder frowned slightly, but he didn't speak, waiting for the old man's next words.

The old man glanced at the old Taoist priest, and continued to explain a little helplessly: "Not to mention that between you and me, has it really reached the point where you can't even notice what I want to do, just talking about your identity as a saint, you know better than me what this big array is about, do you think that my hands just now can create such a big array?" Do you look down on me, or do you look down on your three sects? ”

The two of them had stopped at this time, and the old Taoist couldn't help but be silent after listening to the old man's explanation, and after pondering for a moment, although he still closed his eyes tightly, he still made a gesture of looking up, sweeping from the four phantoms that gradually had a tendency to materialize, and then suddenly found one thing, these four big array spirits who had not really appeared for thousands of years, did not seem to be paying attention to the fighting methods of the two of them at this moment, as far as the eye could see, at the east entrance of the town!

This discovery made the old Taoist priest's majestic qi flow uncontrollably stagnant slightly, and then his face became much more ugly, and he said in a cold and hard tone: "It seems that I am afraid that all of us have been calculated!" ”

……

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the town.

The down-and-out boy was away from the hustle and bustle for a moment, and after a period of dizziness, when he opened his eyes again, there was an aimless white as far as he could see, not dazzling, not dazzling, and no other color, it seemed that even he couldn't see the white, the real day was like night!

The young man was flustered for a moment, looking around and at a loss, he was confused, and he didn't know the west and the east.

At this moment, a slightly dry voice that sounded like it hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the pale one, with no entity and no one on the other side, the young man only felt that he was blind at this moment, so he could only listen to the voice with his ears pricked up and said slowly: "Don't panic, you are safe here for the time being." ”

The young man opened his mouth to speak, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, the feeling at this moment was even more terrifying than when he found his soul out of his body and looked back at his body with empty eyes when he was in Zhenbei Xuannu Middle School that night, the physical body was not there, and it seemed that he couldn't even see the soul!

The voice seemed to be able to sense what he was thinking, the voice was still dry, but it seemed to be slowly adapting to this state, and the tone was slowly becoming smoother, "Regarding the question of who I am, I think you probably have some guesses, and what I can tell you clearly is that what you expected is good, in the words of you ordinary people, I am the bronze bell hanging on the old locust tree, and in the words of those who are in their cultivation, I am one of the four heavenly books." ”

The voice paused slightly, as if sensing what the boy was thinking, and then spoke again: "Logically, I shouldn't have spoken to you so early, or I could also say that I shouldn't have let you appear here to meet me face to face without necessity, but unfortunately, as you can see, there are some things that cannot be described by the words 'logically speaking' or 'should have been'. ”

"Your Yanguan Town, when it was first built many years ago, I had a private agreement with an old friend, that is, if you are not necessary, you will not show up, and you will not interfere in what is happening here, but today is an exception, some people have been staring at this place for many years, the layout is precise, step by step, from the moment when the young man surnamed Xu climbed on the back of the dragon despite the dissuasion, or earlier, from the moment you were brought back to Yanguan Town, this bureau has already begun, and then step by step to today, skillfully used a fairy hand to trigger the entire salt official array, and the ultimate purpose was to force me to show up. ”

When the young man heard this, most of the content still made him a little dizzy, Hou Junchen had inadvertently said before, since the establishment of Yanguan Town, the age is bigger than the world's ninety percent of the rivers and lakes immortal gates, it can be close to 10,000 years, so many years ago, who is the so-called old friend mentioned on the other side, he naturally does not know, this bronze bell that has been hanging on the old locust tree in the town since he can remember, in his eyes has always been a bronze bell that looks just a little special, and the lettering will change, that's all.

It was the young man surnamed Xu who climbed the mountain on the other side, he had a memory, when he went to jump to Xuannu Lake because of the incident of Shuixiu Lake, he had remembered this incident, it was precisely because the young man surnamed Xu did not return from the mountain many years ago, leaving the disaster in vain, the people of the town determined that the rumored dragon had a miracle on his back was true, so he later decided to give it a go on the night of Xuannu Lake, and then saw the huge vertical pupil with a range of more than 100 zhang at the bottom of the lake. And later, inexplicably, because of this, he got a water rhyme, and was taken away by Yunlin Sect and given to that Han Yuan Fu and so on.

In the dark, cause and effect follow each other, just like the immortals guiding the way.

This series of lines just flashed in the young man's mind, and the voice on the other side smiled softly at this time, and said: "Actually, it's not just the problem of the dragon's back and the Xuannu Lake, when you were young, you helped the Liu clan pick up the whetstone from under the golden pillar cliff in the west of the town, and later the Liu clan transported it to Liangzhou City with the other stones they recovered to sell it, including the trading transaction between the Shuixiu Lake and the Zhu clan in the town, these things are some of the many reasons that led to today's situation. It is precisely that there is a large part of this, which has something to do with you to some extent. ”

At this moment, the young man finally made sure that the voice on the other side could hear his heart, so he tried to open his mouth in the heart lake and asked, "Can I see the change in the inscription on the clock, does it have anything to do with these things?" ”

The voice on the other side seemed to hesitate for a moment in the face of this question, and after a pause for a moment, he slowly explained: "It doesn't count, there are many things that seem to me to have a precursor, and the reason why I let go of some changes for you to notice is that I have created a cause and effect between you and you, and the purpose is for today's scene." ”

This is another mysterious and mysterious statement, the young man for these immortal people, including the thing in front of him who doesn't know whether it is a person or something, many things cannot be explained by what he has seen and heard in the past, ignorant and specious.

"So, what the hell happened today?" This question is probably the most useful explanation for the scene at this moment, and Chu Yuanxiao has not yet understood why there is such a scene all of a sudden.

The voice sighed slightly, and said, "I told you before, some people have been staring at this place for a long time, and today's scene triggers the entire seal and leads to the appearance of the four spirits, as well as some abnormal movements on the side of the Wufang Pavilion, which are actually all path-finding moves, just like the first temptation before the two armies start the war, the purpose is to find out the number of roads here, so as to open the way for their next real actions." ”

"Seal, bureau, temptation, open the way..."Chu Yuanxiao pondered a few words in this conversation, so what he was going to talk about next was the real purpose of this salt official array, right? At the beginning, Hou Junchen had vaguely mentioned a sentence when explaining the covenant of Yanguan Town Jiazi, but it was only a brushstroke, saying that in addition to the role of cultivating cultivation seeds on the surface, this place actually has a real purpose, but what is it, the sloppy man did not say it explicitly...

The voice on the other side was silent for several breaths, and the boy guessed that he was hesitating to decide whether to tell the final mystery or not, until a few more moments later, the voice probably finished thinking, and then began to deconstruct the whole event.

The Great Formation of Salt Officials fell very early, as Hou Junchen inadvertently said at that time, close to 10,000 years.

Ten thousand years ago, the reason why those great sages chose to set up a formation here was not for the simple purpose of cultivating cultivation seeds, because to put up this kind of formation to do this, it was almost better than slaughtering chickens with knives, and it was actually not cost-effective at all in terms of profit and loss.

The real mystery of this secret is related to the war of the five ancient clans, and this matter is also on the day of Xuannu Lake, the storyteller Lu Chunjue once mentioned some peripheral matters when he was telling the story of the shocking wood, but the real inside story has always been between the few immortal sects, including the three sects, and the secret is not passed on, how many years has Yanguan Town existed, and this secret has been kept for many years.

When the final curtain of the war between the five clans of people, gods, demons and demons came to war, the last emperor who belonged to the human race was not missing at that time, and the army was in battle, and he chose to spare no effort at the beginning, and went all out, the first sword first killed the demon venerable, and the second sword seriously injured the ghost king, and then isolated the entire eighteen tribes of the demon clan in a small world called "Yunmengze" connected by dozens of square caves and blessed land, and finally sealed the gate of heaven with a sword, cutting off the access to heaven and earth where the gods came into the world, which later continued to this day. It was a battle that really involved 10,000 years, and the final battlefield of that battle was the territory of the Chengyun Empire that belonged to the Northwest Liguan Continent under his feet!

After that battle, the last human emperor may have been too seriously injured in the war, or maybe for other unknown reasons, in short, he disappeared shortly after the war, and has never appeared in the world again, but this incident happened too suddenly, so he didn't seem to have time to deal with the demon sword that was deeply tainted with demons left by the lord of the demon clan who had been disarmed, and this is precisely the real origin of the Yanguan Great Array, which settled in Yanguan Town in Liangzhou, called a small town, is actually a big array, and what really needs to be sealed is the hand tail of the war.

At that time, it was only a rudimentary form of the four founding ancestors of the Three Sects, as well as several great sages who were about the same level as the three sect patriarchs, as well as the four great sword sects, the four major royal mansions, the two surnames of Jiang and Chen in Nanxi Continent, and the first ancestor of the Chengyun Empire in Liguan Continent.

However, the name of the artifact is by no means easy, the sealing act of the world's heroic means, the final result is that all the top saints in the first row are the only ones who are now the three patriarchs of the three sects, and the second-class ones, such as the Mo family patriarch, of course, there are a few others, all of whom have been seriously injured for thousands of years, and have not yet recovered, and there are still four major palaces that have broken away from the nine-grade system of the Linyuan Academy Palace and are outside the world of Jiuzhou, and the relatively intact Four Great Sword Sects had to be responsible for guarding the four surnames of the town as sword cultivators with outstanding combat power, and cooperating with the four sages to guard the Great Array of Salt Officials... In this context, there is today's town pattern and the general trend of the world.

Explaining this, the voice was silent again for a long time, then sighed, and smiled at the young man: "As I said before, some people have been staring at this place for many years, and what they are talking about is the wolf ambition of some people, who have been staring at the Demon Venerable Sword sealed under this big array, hoping that it will one day see the light of day, and they can take this step to the sky!" ”

The poor young man who has been listening silently is a little thrilled and thrilling just by hearing about such a magnificent past, but at the same time, there is also a faint sense of powerlessness that accompanies it lingering in the young man's heart, such a big pattern battle, the characters involved are all standing in the highest place in the world among the top in the world, and then looking at him Chu Yuanxiao, now he is just a short-lived person who has embarked on the road of broken head and does not know if he can live past the age of thirty, what can he do?

As soon as the down-and-out young man thought of this, he was a little curious and a little helpless, and after hesitating for a moment, he carefully asked, "So... Did my seniors choose me for what they wanted me to do? Can juniors help? ”

The voice seemed to smile after hearing this, with some inexplicable interest in his tone, and said with a smile: "Actually, I said a little earlier, although today's move has a long history, but in fact it is not you I chosen, this statement should be the opposite, it is you who chose me." ”

"You I chose?" Chu Yuanxiao only felt that he was being beaten by that... Senior Zhong's words shocked me, and I didn't know anything, how can I still do a multiple-choice question unconsciously, but I don't even know what the answer is?

The one on the other side seemed to be quite interesting about the swaying place of the young man's mind, so when he spoke again, his tone was full of smiles, and said: "The founding patriarch of the Daomen once said a sentence, in my opinion, what he said is very reasonable, called 'The Great Dao is full of sorrow, it can be left and right', the way of heaven is constant and impermanent, everywhere, since you appear where you should appear, there must be a fate, as for when and where it will be useful, I can only say that it is not known for the time being." ”

When the boy heard this, he was a little... Speechless, didn't you say that you were one of the four heavenly books? The word "Book from Heaven" was given for nothing? Still don't know where the avenue is?

The one on the other side couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile: "If you have the time and conditions, you can borrow a classic "Three Thousand Words" that they regard as the guideline in the future to read it, and if you understand the first sentence, you will know that the so-called 'Book of Heaven' is not omniscient, everything in the world is just relative." ”

The poor boy didn't seem to understand, and after thinking about it, he asked in his heart, "Does the junior need to do something next?" ”

He was just sitting under the tree basking in the sun and watching the clock by the way, and then he was suddenly mentioned here, the gods and gods are weird, mysterious and wonderful, it can't just come and listen to the story, right?

Since the business was mentioned, the old man on the other side, who didn't know how old he was, regained his seriousness, and said slowly after a slight silence: "In terms of the current situation, since the other side is taking the opportunity to come over to explore the way, then let them explore, for the time being, you don't have to worry too much, and you can't help much now, but you have to remember one thing, that is, after going out here, you have to find the two scholars in the township school, as for whether to recognize them as half masters, this has to be chosen by yourself, For now, all you have to do is tell them that I let you go, and they'll try to save your life! As for whether you can solve the matter of the dead-end road, in the destiny of heaven and man-made, don't worry too much, just be sincere, do this one thing first, and when I need to use you, I will come to you. ”

When the young man heard this, he knew it in his heart, and he accepted it with his heart in the lake.

Before leaving, the voice on the other side, who had not seen the real voice from beginning to end, suddenly said: "Everything you have learned here, don't talk about it to others after you go out, if you only mention it slightly, I will feel it here, and it will also block you, but if you are obsessed..."

The voice paused slightly, and the last three words spoken were murderous.

"You're going to die."
