Chapter 270: An Unexpected Encounter
() I returned to the familiar and unfamiliar Qinglong Continent, but I didn't seem to be as comfortable as before. "Maybe it's because I'm used to the Heavenly Flame Continent's abundance of Xuan Qi. Xiao Tianhe thought to himself.
From the west side of the Misty Sea to the east coast of the Qinglong Continent, this area is uninhabited, and there should be no problem for the sword to fly. But since the beginning of the inhabited island offshore, Xiao Tianhe didn't dare to resist the sword anymore, maybe there was some powerful immortal cultivator or sword immortal who was cultivating on the island.
After landing, Xiao Tianhe performed the "Dragon Swimming Body Method" and walked like flying on the sea.
"Sister Qingyu, Xiaomin, and Brother Yao's realm is estimated to be about the same as mine, after all, my cultivation speed during this period is not slow. The senior brother and the second senior sister should also be in the Mahayana realm, right? Maybe they have reached the realm of tribulation. By the way, there is also Senior Brother Lu, he was already in the Silent Extinction Realm when I left, and I don't know how far he has advanced now. Recalling the old man, Xiao Tianhe's face rippled with a smile, "Except for Brother Yao who was taken away by the Sword Immortal, everyone else is in the Qinglong Sect, and they will definitely be clamoring to help when the time comes." No, no, I can't bring them all to the Heavenly Flame Continent, firstly, their strength is still difficult to compete with the Demon Lord, and secondly, I can't bring them over if there are too many people, can't I drag four or five people to swim over?" Imagining that funny scene, Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's just ask Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother to help! I hope they are all in the Tribulation Realm, and they haven't left the sect to travel to the clouds, otherwise it will really be difficult to do. Xiao Tianhe made up his mind. It's a pity that he doesn't know the situation of the disciples in the Bamboo Garden after his 'death', let alone the changes that have taken place in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of the Blue Dragon Continent.
The moment he stepped on the shore, Xiao Tianhe's heart was surging. This land that has experienced countless winds, frosts, rains and snows, this continent that has witnessed countless disputes and turmoil, and this fertile soil that has nurtured countless sons and daughters have finally truly stepped under our feet.
Not far from the east coast of the mainland is the majestic Wuling Mountains. The Qinglong Sect is located in the mountains, so there is a great chance of encountering immortal cultivators, and Xiao Tianhe can only walk over the mountains and mountains.
"The merger of the seven sects and the establishment of the Blue Dragon Sect must be very large. However, the scope of the Wuling Mountains is much larger. Blindly looking for it is not the way to go. Xiao Tianhe thought in his heart. In addition, even if the Qinglong Sect was found, how could they meet the children of Zhuyuan? It was obviously impossible to sneak in through the main entrance, not to mention not knowing where they lived. After thinking about it, there was no better way than to ask others to go up the mountain to contact on my behalf. Because of Zhu Xiaomin's relationship, the most suitable person to undertake this task is the shopkeeper of Xueqing Inn. So, Xiao Tianhe decided to cross the Wuling Mountains all the way west to find the Xueqing Inn in the nearest state city.
Xuzhou, which can be regarded as the "hometown", is near the Wuling Mountains. "East Stone Mountain, Cloud Twilight Villa...... If you have time to go on this trip, you must go to worship your father. Xiao Tianhe muttered to himself. When his parents were separated when he was a child, he did not lack father's love and mother's love, because of the kind-hearted He Yunwan and his wife, Xiao Tianhe will never forget this kindness. Thinking, he quickened his pace.
Coincidentally, Xiao Tianhe's route across the Wuling Mountain Range happened to pass through the southernmost part of the Qinglong Sect, the Yeli Mountain Domain. When he saw a group of immortal cultivators dressed in the robes of the Night Leaving Sect walking down the mountain, Xiao Tianhe hurriedly hid in the woods, and then jumped into the canopy.
Those immortal cultivators came from far and near, talking and chatting. Xiao Tianhe listened carefully to their conversation.
"This Qinglong Martial Arts Meeting is the first time after the Great Purge, and it must be very exciting. "One humane.
A person next to him chimed in: "Isn't it? The children left behind by each vein after the Great Purge are the elite of the elite, and their strength is needless to say." ”
"Da Su Qing, what is that?" Xiao Tianhe questioned and continued to listen.
A disciple said: "Since the Great Purge in the early winter of last year, many little-known immortal cultivation geniuses in the Eight Veins of the Green Dragon have been born one after another, and the intensity of this Qinglong Martial Arts Meeting can be imagined. I heard that yesterday there was a contest between the Red Sun Pulse and the Taiqing Pulse for six hours before the winner was decided!
"Tsk, my God, six hours...... If I can't do it, I will be knocked off the stage in a moment!" One person's exaggerated admiration caused a burst of laughter.
"Now the time for the martial arts competition in the sect has been extended for so long?" Xiao Tianhe thought to himself. He recalled that he participated in the Taiqing Martial Arts Conference, which stipulated that a competition would be held for a maximum of one hour, and if the result was undecided, the overseer elder would decide, and the superior side would win. But most of the battles were over in half an hour, and there was rarely an hour when there was still no victory.
In fact, Xiao Tianhe didn't know that due to the large number of children of the Qinglong Sect before, immortal cultivation items had become a scarce resource, and the competition in the Hehe Realm had been canceled, and a competition in the Cave Void Realm group had been added. Since Chu Yuanhui's drastic rectification, many people who possess immortal cultivation items have been cleared out of the sect, resulting in a vacancy of immortal cultivation resources. In addition, there are many talented immortal cultivators who no longer close themselves off to avoid dust, and have asked the sect to redistribute immortal cultivation items. Therefore, the new elders of the Blue Dragon Sect decided to immediately hold a Blue Dragon Martial Arts Meeting in order to rationally allocate immortal cultivation resources. Considering that the immortal cultivation resources are not rich now due to the long-term unreasonable distribution and the irresponsible loss of many people, the old system of the Qinglong Martial Arts Association has been inherited, and the children of the Cave Void Realm still have to obtain immortal cultivation items through the Martial Society.
The stronger the competitor, the longer the competition. This six-hour battle can be regarded as a new record for the Blue Dragon Martial Arts Association.
"Even if we are masters in the clouds, we have to work hard to fight for the night to leave the pulse!" one of the disciples' words caused a chorus of applause. It can be seen that after the great rectification, the wind of cultivating immortals in the Qinglong Sect has returned to the right path
The evil spirit of the former is gone.
Seeing a cadre of people walking farther and farther away, Xiao Tianhe quietly followed the tree. That group of children were all people who were going to participate in the martial arts meeting, and their realm was naturally not comparable to Xiao Tianhe, so they couldn't find him.
"Chu Jianxian disappeared after the Great Purge, I don't know if he will come back to watch this martial arts meeting, if he is lucky enough to meet him, even if he loses the first game, it is worth it!"
"Chu Jianxian, Chu Yuanhui, it turns out that he hasn't ascended yet!" Xiao Tianhe remembered the person who stabbed him.
The other person sarcastically said: "Come on, just our little fight, can the other sword immortals see it?"
Another humane: "However, the elders decided to let the Red Sun Vein host this session of the Blue Dragon Martial Arts, and their intention is to give Chu Jianxian an explanation." After all, the people who made the most trouble in the past were those in the Red Sun Vein. ”
"The other lineages are similar. At that time, I thought that the Blue Dragon Sect was going to be completely finished! Now it's good, the sect we love has been reborn!"
"Yes, like a phoenix nirvana, completely reborn!" the cheerful words made everyone rejoice.
"It's just that the Red Sun Vein is a bit far away, and you have to go around the mountains to be able to resist the sword. Yesterday, the master gave us the final guidance before the game, and as a result, we missed several wonderful battles, which is really a pity! Today, there are immortal cultivators from the Tianyun Vein and the Canghai Vein participating in the battle, I don't want to miss it again, everyone hurry up and rush over!"
Xiao Tianhe basically understood, and inferred from the titles of "Red Sun Vein", "Taiqing Vein", "Night Separation Vein" and so on, that the Qinglong Sect was still divided into several parts according to the original pattern of the seven major sects, and it was not in one place. Now is the time to show up and ask carefully.
"Fellow Daoists in front, please stay!" Xiao Tianhe chased after him from behind.
A cadre of disciples turned around one after another and bowed for the first person: "May I ask what is the matter with this fellow Daoist?"
"I've seen fellow Daoists. Xiao Tianhe also said, "I am a loose cultivator of the Changyin Island, and I recently heard that the Blue Dragon Sect has restored order, so I came to visit my old friend. I don't know where Taiqing's pulse is? ”
The man kindly replied, "Oh, fellow Daoist, you're in the wrong place. This place belongs to the Yeli vein, which is the southernmost area of the Qinglong Sect, while the Taiqing vein is at the northernmost point, and the distance is not close. ”
"Thank you for your advice, I'm really sorry for delaying your journey. Farewell. Xiao Tianhe bowed.
Seeing that Xiao Tianhe wanted to leave, another disciple said: "Wait, fellow Daoist, the Tiancheng Mountain Domain surrounded by the Eight Great Mountains is the forbidden place of the Qinglong Sect, and if you can't pass through it directly, you have to take a detour from both sides." ”
The previous disciple added, "Not bad. Anyway, whether the Taoist friends go around to the left or to the right, the distance is about the same. We are about to go to the Red Sun Vein to participate in the Blue Dragon Martial Arts Meeting, why don't we go together? Besides, Daoist friends are casual cultivators, and if you go around to the left, you can not only take a look at the wonderful martial arts meeting on the way, but also pass through the Canghai Vein founded by the scattered cultivators before reaching the Taiqing Vein, which is also a very powerful vein in the Qinglong Sect, and Daoist friends can consider joining in. ”
In the face of the warm invitation, Xiao Tianhe was very hesitant: "This ...... I'm afraid of causing trouble to all fellow Daoists. ”
"Hey, all the immortal cultivators in the world are the same way, what's the trouble? Maybe you don't know, now even the disciples of the Cave Void Realm have to participate in the Blue Dragon Martial Arts, and your old friends may also rush to the Red Sun Vein!" These disciples who left the night were all enthusiastic.
"No, it won't. Xiao Tianhe waved his hand, "My friend was already in the realm of annihilation at the time of the Immortal Demon War. My fairy sword was damaged not long ago and I can't fly, so I won't delay you. "In fact, when he set foot on the east coast of the Qinglong Continent, he had the foresight to hide the Heavenly Vengeance Sword under the beach. It is inconvenient to carry a demon cultivation weapon on your back in the Immortal Cultivation Continent after all, anyway, there is still a Splitting Void Knife in the body when it is critical, so you will not be able to use your bare hands.
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Tianhe said this, he couldn't get out of his body, and the disciple was surprised: "Oh, then your friend should have been an elder of the Taiqing Sect in the first place?"
"It's indeed ......," Xiao Tianhe recalled from the past. In fact, he had been with Ye Congyun at first and didn't know that Lu Baifeng was the elder of the Taiqing Sect, but later, when Chu Yuanhui wanted to dispose of him, Lu Baifeng said in order to protect him, "I am no longer an elder of the Taiqing Sect", and he learned that Lu Baifeng had broken through to the realm of annihilation.
The disciple at the head said, "The elders of the various sects during the Immortal Demon War are all great heroes!
"My surname is Xiao. ”
"Xiao Daoyou, when the Seven Great Sects had not yet been merged into the Blue Dragon Sect, there were not many elders who survived the Immortal Demon War, and now they should all have reached the Mahayana realm and entered the Tiancheng Mountain Domain. Please give the name of the elder, and perhaps we may know his message. The disciple said.
Xiao Tianhe thought to himself: "That's fine, ask them, if you can report on your behalf, it will also save you the trouble of going to the shopkeeper of Xueqing Inn." "My old friend's name is Lu Baifeng. DO YOU KNOW?"
"Lu Baifeng?" everyone repeated in unison, looking at each other. Judging from their expressions, they must know.
"Where is he now?" Xiao Tianhe asked happily.
The disciple at the head sighed and arched his hand: "Fellow Daoist, I have to regret to tell you that it is impossible for you to meet him. Elder Lu became the vein master of the Taiqing vein shortly after the establishment of the Blue Dragon Sect. He is humble, righteous and thin, and the lord of the first line is well-deserved, but it is a pity that later the Qinglong Sect is in a declining world, and the people's hearts are not ancient, and his power is gradually elevated by the elders who are consumed by the desire for profit, and the lonely Elder Lu is disheartened and is cultivating to the Mahayana realm
It didn't take long for it to disappear from sight. It is rumored in the sect that he went out to travel, but in fact, he was captured by a few wicked people in the Red Sun Vein and mutilated his life. His grievances were only cleared in the late autumn of last year, and it was precisely because of this incident that Chu Jianxian later carried out a purge of the chaotic Qinglong Sect. After rectification, the Qinglong Sect has posthumously crowned Elder Lu as Elder Zhaolie of the Taiqing Dynasty, and his spiritual position has been placed in the Heroic Ancestral Hall. ”
"What, Senior Brother Lu is dead?" Xiao Tianhe blurted out in shock.
"It turns out that Daoyou is Elder Lu's junior brother. Please mourn. I'll take my leave. Everyone said goodbye to Xiao Tianhe together.
"Fellow Daoists, do you know Han Mingfei, Tang Junhe, and Zhu Xiaomin of the Taiqing Vein, and Hua Qingyu of the Hua Jun Vein, who are in the Taiqing Mountain Domain?" Xiao Tianhe hurriedly asked.
The disciple at the head turned around: "Fellow Daoist...... I don't even know how to speak to you. Elder Han was also persecuted by those few villain elders of the Red Sun Vein, and was later forced to commit suicide, and he has passed away for many years. His Taoist companion Tang Daoyou was also cornered and had to abandon his cultivation. After the deaths of those wicked people last year, she also committed suicide and followed Elder Han. As for the other two, sorry I haven't heard of them. I would like to advise fellow Daoists, the deceased has passed away, so don't be too sad. Taoist friends cherish. ”
The disciple's words sounded like a thunderbolt in Xiao Tianhe's ears, and he only felt a buzzing in his head and dizzy. "Dead, all dead......" he slumped on the ground, muttering to himself. The heart is like a knife, and the liver and intestines are broken. In a trance, he even wondered if what had just happened was real, maybe it was just an uncomfortable dream.
Lying on the ground with his back to the sky, looking at the blue clear sky. How Xiao Tianhe wants to go back to the past, back to the happy time in Zhuyuan.
"If possible, I really hope that all this is a dream, a long and bitter dream......" Xiao Tianhe slowly closed his eyes, and two streams of heat slid across the side of his face, dripping down, pouring out his grief to the vast earth.
The past is like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding in my mind. The long life is full of joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows. Even if he is an immortal cultivator who is beyond the world, he cannot escape from the word 'love'. Why is there a separation between life and death in the world? No one knows the answer. When a loved one disappears from his side, this painful torture is no less than Ling Chi's knife.
"Brother Yao, Xiaomin, Sister Qingyu, you must not have any trouble. If you are gone, how can I continue to live?" Xiao Tianhe just lay like this, reminiscing, sad, until nightfall.
The evening breeze is coming, and the rustling leaves are ringing. It's like a sad lament, and it's like the farewell of an old friend.
Far away from the country,
Remembering the dust of his hometown.
Thinking of friends and returning to the heart,
Fang knows to enter the return wheel.
Trees on the vast mountains,
The soul of the moon.
Two lines of sad tears,
A gut-breaker.
A word of consolation sounded in his ears: "A man cannot be resurrected after death." Now that the great revenge has been avenged and the grievances have been avenged, let the grief go with the wind. ”
"For more than 30 years, things are people, yin and yang are separated, how can you not be sad? Brother Tai's words are too easy. Xiao Tianhe wiped his tears and sat up, but found that there was a man in white standing next to him at some point.
"He Tianxiao, long time no see. "That's human.
"It turned out to be you!" Xiao Tianhe stood up, "You didn't kill me immediately." ”
"Since I let you go in the first place, why do you want to do it again at this time?"
"Chu Yuanhui, you shouldn't have forgotten it, right? Your original sword stabbed deep into here. Xiao Tianhe pointed to the dantian.
"Then have you ever died? If I really want your life, I can cut off your head with a sword, how can you stand in front of me alive at this time?" Chu Yuanhui said, "That sword is just to abolish your cultivation." I have made a great mistake and caused that girl to die, leaving you alive to at least give her some comfort under the Nine Springs. ”
"Then what do you think at this time? I have cultivated to the Mahayana realm on the path of cultivating demons, and I am an out-and-out 'great devil'. You don't want to kill me?"
Chu Yuanhui replied sincerely: "I feel the vastness of the world and the impermanence of the world. I know that you haven't been in the Blue Dragon Continent all these years, but now that you can achieve this, you must have gone to the territory of the Sword Demon. The hairy boy who first set foot in the Demon Dao back then has now reached a point where he is comparable to the strongest master in the Blue Dragon Sect, and I am still on this continent as a sword immortal. First, it shows that I was really short-sighted at that time, and I didn't know that there was a realm of transformation, and second, it also proved that I was indeed too extreme at that time and misunderstood the way of cultivating demons. ”
"Cultivating demons and cultivating immortals are all feats of human beings fighting against the sky, and they can be said to be the same way, and there is no superiority or inferiority at all. It's a pity that because of the various things that have been handed down through ancient times, people talk about 'magic' and change color. If you only had to be a little more lenient at the beginning, maybe nothing would have happened...... So don't expect me to thank you for not killing. Since you're not here to take my life, let's just say it, what do you want to do? You won't be here to apologize, right?" Xiao Tianhe asked coldly.
Chu Yuanhui smiled faintly: "This is also what I want to ask you." What did you come back for? Fortunately, you did not go deep into the heart of the continent, but fortunately I was in retreat nearby. Let me remind you, I am not the only sword immortal in the Qinglong Continent at the moment, they ...... I wouldn't necessarily be as kind to a demon cultivator as I am now. ”
"Hmph, what's the use of telling you? Could it be that you'll help me?"
This was originally a sarcastic remark, but he didn't expect Chu Yuanhui to nod seriously: "No matter what it is, I'll help you." ”
