When this face appeared in the empty door, not only Shi Xiyuan, but even Zhou An felt a creepy illusion.

This face is exactly the same as Shi Xiyuan, but those eyes are cold and desperate, and even tyrannical and cruel.

The whole face is expressionless, but because of the expressionless face, it looks even more terrifying.

The cold aura continued to emanate from the second master Xi Yuan, and the fake master Xi Yuan held his hand on the only half door, and was staring at them with a bloodthirsty gaze at the moment.

But the strange thing is that he did not step out of it, as if the half door was a dividing line, and after stepping out, he would be struck by thunder.

There was absolute silence, no one spoke, and no one squeaked.

Zhou An turned his head, looked at Shi Xiyuan, and asked, "Master Shi, do you still have a brother who has never met, or a half-brother and half-brother?" ”

When Shi Xiyuan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he almost couldn't hold back, gave Zhou An a fishing rod, and said helplessly: "Lord Zhou, I know you want to liven up the atmosphere, but you can't be active at this time. ”

There was a cold aura echoing around him, and after Shi Xiyuan finished speaking, he looked at the fake thing that was exactly the same as him, and then raised his hand.

"There is only one teacher in this world, and what is extra must be fake."

A rune paper appeared in Shi Xiyuan's hand, and after the rune paper appeared, it quickly burned, and then turned into ashes.

After the rune paper turned into ashes, it gradually condensed in mid-air, and finally condensed into a golden awl.

Zhou An looked at it vigorously next to him and asked, "What kind of talisman is this?" ”

There are so many ways to practice qi, and with the help of rune paper or other props, they can cast many bizarre spells.

Even if Zhou An has read so many books, he still can't recognize them completely.

"This is my original rune paper, called the Cone Heart Talisman, even if the middle one leaves, he will suffer from digging out his heart day and night until he dies." Shi Xiyuan explained.

When Zhou An heard this, he gave a thumbs up: "Master, are you sure that this thing of yours is for the righteous way?" ”

This so-called taper talisman, after being hit, the consequences are too terrifying.

If you think about it carefully, you have been suffering from the pain of digging your heart until you die, just like the evil characters in Zhou An who saw it before.

Shi Xiyuan rolled his eyes: "Master Zhou, there is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil are only divided into people." ”

Zhou An smiled awkwardly, he had heard this before, but he didn't learn these things.

After all, his time is also limited.

When the two were chatting, the fake teacher Xi Yuan had been lying on his stomach at the door, and he glanced at them with that kind of look, and he couldn't step out of it.

Shi Xiyuan did not hesitate, and with a movement of his fingers, the golden awl condensed by the cone talisman turned into a bolt of lightning and stabbed straight towards the fake Shi Xiyuan.

Shi *** Ran had a feeling that he always felt that his actions were as if he was killing himself, in short, it was very weird.

The golden awl that turned into lightning came in an instant, and it was directly pierced into the chest of the fake master Xi Yuan.

But the next scene made Shi Xiyuan's brows furrow.

I saw that the fake teacher Xi Yuan also raised his index finger, and after a piece of rune paper appeared, it turned into a golden awl.

Before another awl arrived, the two collided with each other.

"Boom!"

The roar sounded instantly.

The two awls collided with each other and dissipated as if nothing had happened.

"How could he? This should be my originality, no one but me will! Shi Xiyuan said in shock.

Zhou An touched his chin and said, "Master, do you think there is such a possibility, he is the part of the talent you are missing, what have you learned?" What did he also learn? ”

Shi Xiyuan heard this, thought about it, and seemed to really have such a possibility.

"To be precise, he seems to be more powerful than my awl." Shi Xiyuan said.

When the two awls touched each other, his awls dissipated in an instant.

But the fake awl even stayed for a while, a little bit more powerful than him.

Zhou An carried the long knife and said, "Anyway, let's slaughter it first, I always feel that there is a shocking secret in the nine-story tower." ”

As he spoke, Zhou An waved the long knife in his hand.

On top of the long knife, a layer of dark cyan knife light appeared, and after the knife light appeared, it was wrapped in the flow of water, from top to bottom, and stabbed directly towards the fake master Xi Yuan.

This knife is faster than a golden awl.

The fake teacher Xi Yuan did not sit still, he raised his hand, and one by one the rune paper was written by him in the air, and in an instant, there were more than a dozen rune papers condensed by Qi.

Fire, Ice Picks, Tempest, Earth Spikes......

All kinds of special effects continue to emerge from the fake teacher Xi Yuan.

There are a lot of attack methods, and it seems to be a bit bells and whistles.

When Shi Xiyuan saw this scene, his eyes widened: "This is all the Taoist talismans I practiced before!" ”

When the dark cyan sword light arrived, it immediately collided with these attacks full of special effects.

In the blink of an eye, the roar continued.

The surrounding mud and water were shaken and trembled.

The dark cyan sword light, like an unstoppable spear, broke through these attacks and stabbed the fake master Xi Yuan's chest fiercely.

Fake teacher Xi Yuan lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest, although his face was expressionless, there was more coldness in his eyes.

"I don't like the look in your eyes."

As Zhou An finished saying this, the dark cyan sword light inserted into the fake teacher Xi Yuan's body exploded instantly.

In this explosion, the fake teacher Xi Yuan instantly turned into fragments all over the sky.

This level of fragmentation was beyond the reach of the previous aunt.

And as the false master Xi Yuan turned into a sky full of fragments, in mid-air, a white ball of light suddenly appeared.

The white light flickered and flickered, shining brightly, illuminating the dim environment around it.

When Shi Xiyuan saw this white light, he swallowed his saliva: "Master Zhou, I feel that he is the talent I am missing. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the white light cluster actually crossed the black half door and headed straight towards Shi Xiyuan.

"Be careful, Master." As soon as Zhou An was about to make a move to stop him, he was rejected by Shi Xiyuan.

When the light group came to Shi Xiyuan's approach, it suddenly stopped, still flickering brightly and dimly.

But there was not the slightest cold breath transmitted.

Shi Xiyuan took a deep breath, and then moved his hand closer to the white light.

He had a feeling that as long as he got closer, he would be able to make up for his shortcomings.

Zhou An watched this scene and did not make a move.

The reason is very simple, Shi Xiyuan is an old man, and there is definitely a reason for making this kind of move at this time.

So he watched patiently.

When Shi Xiyuan's hand came into contact with the white light cluster, the white light finally moved, like a stream of water, spreading out and wrapping Shi Xiyuan's right hand.

Immediately afterwards, along this right arm, he wrapped Shi Xiyuan's whole body.

At this moment, Shi Xiyuan's whole body was full of white light, and he could only see an outline, but there was no abnormality.

Zhou An held the long knife in his hand and looked at it calmly.

About half a pillar of incense had passed, and Shi Xiyuan heard a long sigh.

"It's finally complete."

The white light gradually disappeared, and was absorbed into Shi Xiyuan's body.

Zhou An felt that at this moment, Shi Xiyuan's strength was gradually rising, as if he was on a roller coaster.

The original Shi Xi Yuan was a master at the peak of the psychic realm, and he was only one step away from being able to enter the all-holy realm.

But it is precisely because of the defects of talent that it is difficult to step into it, and when the talent is completed, Shi Xiyuan's strength rises rapidly, and he takes that step in an instant.

On the top of Shi Xiyuan's head, a faint round bead appeared, glowing with white light.

Then, Shi Xiyuan opened his mouth, and the round bead was swallowed by him.

And on Shi Xiyuan's body, the powerful aura gradually stabilized.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Shi, what you swallowed just now, but after the Dao Gate entered the All-Holy Realm, the unique Inner Dan?" ”

Shi Xiyuan nodded: "I have finally stepped into this step, for so many years, I have not been able to enter the All-Holy Realm, I thought it was a talent, and now I have finally become a master of the All-Holy Realm." ”

He was a little emotional.

After all, he is different from Ye Shuang, he is much older than Ye Shuang.

Now, Ye Shuang has reached the psychic realm, if he really reached the All-Holy Mirror one step ahead of him, it is estimated that there is really no place to put his old face.

Zhou An arched his hand and said, "Congratulations, Master." ”

Shi Xiyuan also arched his hand: "At the speed of Lord Zhou, it will be only a matter of time before I step into the All-Holy Realm, and I will have to congratulate Lord Zhou at that time." ”

After stepping into the All-Holy Realm, he was indeed overjoyed, especially when he felt that he could catch a fish with just a flick of the fishing rod, which was unprecedented.

He was so excited, and now he wants to throw a rod.

Unfortunately, this is not the case now, and it is not his time to fish.

After the two of them blew each other for a while, they stayed in the dark half of the door, and the cold aura still emanated from the darkness, making people dare not take a step forward.

Fortunately, these two people are not ordinary people, and they have not been affected much.

Zhou An touched his chin and said, "How does Master Shi plan to do it?" ”

This thing appeared in this place, and Zhou An always felt that there was a big secret hidden inside.

He had already speculated just now.

To put it simply, if this nine-story tower is full of those flawed talents, then this nine-story tower will have a big problem.

The scene just now told him that these talents can all be turned into that kind of strange thing, and they are one point stronger than the main one.

If in the future, those people with flawed talents accidentally come here, get attracted, and then encounter the missing part of themselves, only to be killed instead, what will be the consequences?

That's what Zhou An thought.

Shi Xiyuan is not a stupid person, he also thought about it, and after pondering for a while, he said, "What do you think about Lord Zhou?" ”

Since it's a discussion, let's listen to each other's ideas.

Zhou An touched his chin, and the Qi in his body was activated, and a golden gossip appeared in front of him, slowly turning.

Again, that's the same sentence.

If you don't realize something, you can calculate it first, and there is nothing wrong with it.

When the golden gossip emerged, Zhou An immediately calculated the good luck of this incident.

After a moment, there was a golden color in front of him, proving that if he entered this nine-story tower, there was no danger, and it was still good for him.

With the foundation of gossip and arithmetic, Zhou An of course put his mind at ease.

He pointed to the dark door in front of him: "Why don't we go in and see?" ”

Shi Xiyuan was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Then I'll follow Master Zhou in and have a look." ”

To tell the truth, he was also very curious about the contents of the nine-story tower, so he also wanted to see what secrets were in it.

After the two made up their minds, they didn't stay any longer.

Then, Zhou An took the lead and stepped into the half door without hesitation.

And Shi Xiyuan also followed, following Zhou An.

On his body, there were dozens of rune papers composed of Qi, which was very spectacular.

After the two stepped into it, there was immediately a cold wind blowing in their faces, which made people get goosebumps.

Zhou An narrowed his eyes, and his clairvoyant eyes continued to spread, taking in everything around him.

Although it is very dark, the effect of the Thousand Miles is not hindered by the darkness.

Just now, because it was blocked by the material of the nine-story tower outside, I couldn't see it, but now after I came in, there was naturally no obstruction.

When Zhou An saw everything around him, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shi Xi is far behind Zhou An, although he does not have clairvoyance, but as a person in the middle of the line, and now that he has entered the all-holy realm, he will naturally not be hindered by the darkness, and he can see the things around him clearly.

This floor is the lowest floor of the nine-story tower, and the space is very spacious.

But what is placed on the ground makes people feel chills.

Rectangular boxes after boxes, lined up in columns.

On this floor alone, there are hundreds of them.

The rectangular box is made of wood with a seal attached to it.

On the seal, there are words written in ancient times.

Although Zhou An couldn't understand it, under the perspective of the Qianli Eye, he saw what was contained in the rectangular wooden box.

- Ashes!

In each rectangular wooden box, there is a handful of ashes.

Even if time is like flowing water and years are like carving knives, this ash still exists.

The rectangular boxes in front of me are all urns containing ashes.

Zhou An turned his head and said what he had seen.

Shi Xiyuan was also greatly surprised, and then he seemed to see something, pointed in one direction, and said, "Lord Zhou, the box has been opened." ”

Zhou An looked in the direction that Shi Xiyuan was pointing and found that in the corner of this pile of urns, the lid of a wooden box was opened.

And the ashes inside have long been empty.

Zhou An fell silent, then seemed to think of something, turned his head and said, "Master, is there a possibility, it is your ashes." ”

The corners of Shi Xiyuan's mouth twitched slightly: "Master Zhou, when you speak, you have to say it all, it should be the ashes of my defective talent, no, to be precise, it is likely to be the ashes of the person who once held my talent." ”

Neither of them is stupid, one is better than the other, if it is stained with hair, it is estimated that the monkey will not be able to play with them.

So based on the scene in front of them, they already speculated that the ashes here should be the people who died one after another in the early years.

Their talents, the flawed part, are integrated into the ashes and are placed here.

"But what is the purpose?" Zhou An frowned and thought.

When he thought this, Shi Xiyuan had already come to one of the urns and looked at it carefully.

"Lord Zhou, do you think something strange will happen if we open this urn."

When Zhou An heard this, he came to the urn, raised his long knife, and inserted it with a knife.

The speed was so fast that Shi Xiyuan didn't even react.

The wooden box was torn apart due to Zhou An's knife, and the ashes inside fell to the ground.

Shi Xiyuan was shocked, and when he was about to be vigilant, he found that there was nothing.

What's the situation?

He couldn't figure out what was going on.

Zhou An said slowly: "If those defective people in the line didn't come, they shouldn't be inspired." ”

Shi Xiyuan suddenly realized, but he glanced at Zhou An strangely: "Why is Lord Zhou so determined and so decisive to destroy the urn?" ”

Zhou An thought for a while and said, "I guess." ”

The simple three words made Shi Xiyuan unable to react, and he was a little stunned.

What the hell, you just guess it, you just guess, just by guessing, you will go straight to the knife, it's outrageous.

If you guess wrong, isn't that a source of guilt?

Shi Xiyuan felt that Zhou An's methods were too direct.

Of course Zhou An didn't say it, it was because he did it and there was no danger, after all, there was no need to explain so much.

"All in all, there is no danger at the moment, even if all these urns are dismantled, it is estimated that nothing will appear."

Zhou An watched the dismantled ashes sprinkled on the ground, and he waved his sleeves casually.

A gust of wind blew up, and the ashes were then blown away.

But then, a magical scene appeared.

The ashes that were blown away re-condensed, and the rectangular urn was quickly restored, and soon changed back to its original appearance.

Seeing this situation, Zhou An smiled: "Can't it be destroyed?" It's really funny. ”

He swung his long knife again, and this knife brought out countless dark cyan sword lights.

The dark blue knife light swept through, shattering all the hundreds of urns in front of him.

The ashes scattered all over the sky, and as Zhou An waved his sleeves, they were all blown to the corner and mixed together.

Shi Xiyuan secretly said, this week's adult is so skillful, could it be that he was a disciple of the empty door before?

Of course, he just complained in his heart, and he didn't take it seriously.

When the ashes in the sky were waved aside by Zhou An, there was another gust of wind.

Immediately afterwards, these ashes were separated in an orderly manner, and each returned to everyone.

And those wooden boxes, which had long been reduced to debris, were instantly restored to their original state.

In front of him, this scene was so weird that even Zhou An couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He thought about it, and then ran the gossip arithmetic.

In front of his eyes, a golden gossip appeared.

When the gossip appeared, Zhou An immediately began to measure the clues of these urns, but the result was not satisfactory.

Bagua arithmetic can't be deduced at all, that is to say, these things have a very large origin.

Zhou An thought about it, and then didn't pay much attention to this matter, but turned his eyes and looked at a corner of this floor.

There, there is a wooden ladder that leads directly to the second floor.

The tower has a total of nine floors, and this is the lowest floor, and there are more to the top.

"Let's go, go ahead and see." Zhou An said.

The two of them did not hesitate and followed the staircase directly to the second floor.

When I came to the second floor, it was still the same as the first floor, filled with dense urns.

But on the innermost wall of this floor, there is one more thing than the one below.

A skeleton was hanging on the wall, its hands bound in chains, kneeling in the corner.

Although it was only a skeleton, it exuded an ancient and desolate aura, as if it had been an extremely powerful figure in his lifetime.

"Why is this man being locked up here?" Shi Xiyuan saw this scene and pondered.

"I guess there was a conflict with the people who built this nine-story tower, so I was kept here until I died." Zhou An looked at the bones.

With that, he slashed out a jet-blue sword light and landed on the bone's chains.

A roar rang out.

But the results were unexpected.

The jet-blue light of the sword spread, but the chains showed no trace.

"It's a very hard material, it seems that the person who forged this chain should be stronger than me." Zhou An said calmly.

With his current strength, killing the psychic realm is like entering a no-man's realm, even the white king who had just entered the all-holy realm was slaughtered by him.

Therefore, the power of this knife is not something that ordinary people in the industry can compete with.

But even the black chain could not be split, in addition to proving that the material of this chain was extremely rare, and more importantly, the person who cast the chain was definitely stronger than he was now.

From this, it is speculated that this skeleton should be of the same level, otherwise it would not be locked by this chain.

"Keep looking." Zhou An's eyes narrowed slightly.

There is still no clue, and he speculated again just now, but he also can't push back any news, so he has to continue to go up.

The two did not hesitate, and once again went down the stairs to the third floor.

There are even more anomalies on the third floor, where hundreds of skeletons are imprisoned like sinners, nailed to the walls like sinners.

"It's strange, so many powerful characters, why haven't they turned into weird?" Shi Xiyuan said suspiciously.

Zhou An pointed to the black chain: "This thing can resolve their grievances, so with this thing, it can't be weird, but once it gets rid of these bones, I'm afraid that it will turn weird in an instant." ”

Zhou An has a seventh-level casting body, in the casting of this vein, of course, he has his own unique opinions, and he also has the right to speak, and he can see at a glance that this black chain is not an extraordinary thing, but also has a special function.

"Looks like we're going to have to keep going." Zhou An looked at the staircase.

The two continued to walk upward, and next, there were imprisoned bones on each floor, and there were more and more of them, and the aura emitted became stronger and stronger.

When they came to the ninth floor, they finally saw something special.

Here, there are still many bones, bound to the wall in chains, showing a kneeling posture.

But in the end, there was an old man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The old man was wearing an ordinary green cloth coat, his eyes were closed, and his chest was slightly undulating, exuding a faint aura.

This breath is the breath of a living person.

"Living?" Zhou An frowned and looked at the old man sitting cross-legged.

Next to him, Shi Xiyuan had more and more rune paper on his body, and he became more and more vigilant.

In this weird nine-story tower, but meet a living old man, this kind of stimulation is even more outrageous than encountering a weird.

The sense of time here is very strong, and Shi Xi has long guessed that it definitely comes from the ancient era.

And if a living person meditates here, it means that this living person has lived from ancient times to the present day.

What kind of terrible person should that be?

Shi Xiyuan's caution and Zhou An's calmness form a strong contrast.

Seeing Zhou An's state, Shi Xiyuan said strangely.

"Lord Zhou, it's better to be careful."

He knew that Zhou An was strong, and adversity was like drinking water, but at this time, he still had to be reminded.

After all, the situation is different now.

Zhou An heard Shi Xiyuan's instructions, nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be mysterious, you are not from that era." ”

This sentence was said to the old man sitting cross-legged.

After hearing this, the old man sitting cross-legged slowly opened his closed eyes, revealing an endless sense of vicissitudes, and sighed slightly: "It's you, Zhou An, how did you guess it?" ”

Zhou An smiled: "It's very easy to guess, because you didn't bring me a life and death crisis, let alone that sense of oppression." ”

He had seen people from the early years.

When I was in the psychic space, under the black palace, I could feel it through the illusion, whether it was the old man or the one-armed old man or the middle-aged carver, the breath on their bodies was simply suffocating.

What's more, the green clothes and Yang Lao who appeared behind were even more terrifying.

So Zhou An concluded that the old man in front of him was not from that era.

Otherwise, after living for so many years, even if it is a pig, it will not be unable to bring that sense of oppression.

"My doppelganger, I worked hard and tried a lot to escape from various countries, and finally found this place, but before I could unravel this place, I met you, Zhou An, I don't know if this is fate, but you really make me very angry."

Although the old man was angry, there was no expression on his face, as if he was telling an insignificant trifle.

Zhou An touched his chin: "You know me, and you have murderous intent towards me, let me guess, are you longitudinal, or are you from the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect?" ”

"Is it important?" The old man stood up: "It's just a clone, I can't help you." ”

"Then I'll guess it." Zhou An nodded.

The old man became interested: "You guessed it, then tell me who I am?" ”

Zhou appeased the long knife: "Either it is the leader of the verticality, or the head of the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect, other than that, I can't think of anything else, do you think I guessed right?" ”

"On what basis did you guess that?" The old man asked.

Zhou An snapped his fingers: "You said just now that you avoided the eyes and ears of various countries and came in with a clone, so your status is not low, otherwise you would not be so closely targeted by various countries, and you can still run out." ”

"With just one doppelganger, your body should be extremely powerful."

When the old man heard this, he laughed, and the laughter made the surrounding space tremble.

After a while, the old man's laughter slowly stopped.

A sentence slowly came out of the old man's mouth.

"I'm a contemporary longitudinal leader, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Zhou An raised his eyebrows, not feeling too surprised.

He had already guessed eight or nine just now.

Shi Xiyuan next to him shouted: "It's you, what is the purpose of your coming here?" ”

The old man glanced at Shi Xiyuan lightly: "I'm talking to Zhou An, you don't have the qualifications to interject, even if you are a national teacher behind you, so what?" ”

Shi Xi Yuan was speechless for a while.

Only then did the leader turn his head, look at Zhou An, and said, "Let's talk about a deal, you leave here, as if you haven't seen it, and then in the future, how about I leave you with a life?" ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Zhou An shook his head.

The leader sighed and said, "I don't think it's possible, but you have to work hard." ”

The words fell, and he was just about to say something, but at this moment, he was greeted by a dark blue sword light.

Zhou An didn't plan to let him continue.

The sword light came in an instant.

The longitudinal leader's brow jumped, and then, with his right hand, waved.

The next moment, above his right hand, a variety of lights appeared, a total of eight different colors.

The roar sounded immediately.

Under the fierce wind, Zhou An's dark blue sword light was shattered.

But in the right hand of the longitudinal leader, there are dense cracks.

"Eight stunts, it seems that you have all of them, but you don't seem to be able to fuse them yet." Zhou Andao.

"After the efforts of successive generations of longitudinal leaders, it has indeed been obtained." The longitudinal leader shook his hand, and the crack deepened, but he didn't care.

Zhou An didn't talk nonsense, and swung out a cyan sword light again.

And this time, the dark cyan knife light was dense, covering all this space.

"Zhou An, is there really no room for talk?" The longitudinal leader frowned.

Zhou An's tone was calm, and he stepped out, and the long knife followed him like a shadow: "Talk, what to talk about, if you obediently put your head in front of me, maybe I will talk to you who died." ”

When he contradicts his longitudinal nature, he is destined to have no room for discussion.

He didn't believe that indulgence would let him go, so meeting was life and death.

When the longitudinal leaders heard this, they no longer resisted.

In fact, he only has such a clone, and he has no problem dealing with some psychic realms, but he can't deal with Zhou An.

There's no way he's going to send a powerful doppelganger over, because that's going to be discovered.

When the dark blue sword light attacked, the vertical leader turned into nothingness, leaving a word.

"If I have the chance, I'll take your head off with my own hands."

Zhou An withdrew the long knife and replied lightly: "Perhaps, the person who used your head to hold wine should be me." ”

"Master."

Shi Xiyuan, who had been observing from the side, didn't expect to point to himself, and subconsciously agreed.

"Let's go." Zhou An turned the long knife into a ring, put it on his hand, turned around and walked outside.

"Don't continue to check?" Shi Xiyuan asked.

Zhou An left Shi Xiyuan with a back: "If you don't check it, you won't check it, just leave this matter to the person above." ”

The secrets here are almost there, and there are no extra clues, so it's better to leave it to the top to take care of, and you may be able to get some news from the people above.

Shi Xiyuan thought about it for a while and felt that this was right.

So he followed behind Zhou An and prepared to leave the nine-story tower.

Before leaving, Zhou An looked at the place where the heavy leader disappeared and thought thoughtfully.

"Something is wrong, I obviously have benefits, but now I haven't reaped any benefits, is there something wrong with the gossip arithmetic?"

(Asking for a monthly pass, my aunt hasn't appeared for a long time.) ）

(End of chapter)
