Chapter Seventy-One: Zhan Lu Baotu
() Ye Shenrong, who had finished pranayama, let out a long breath and opened his eyes. Peng Xinwei hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother Ye, ...... your injuries?"
Ye Shenrong slammed the low table on the bed and snorted coldly.
Peng Xinwei was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized: "Sect Master Ye, I really don't know what happened to this accident, I hope forgive me!"
Ye Shenrong said: "Isn't this obvious? Your technique was seen through by the woman in the flower vein!"
Peng Xinwei was shocked: "How is it possible!" 'Dream Soul Incense' is a secret medicine that my husband and wife have secretly developed for many years, and she will never know about it. Besides, I have already injected the ingredients of the secret medicine into the body of the dragon maggot, and it can be refined by only slightly heating it through fire, and it is in powder form after refining, which is extremely difficult to detect. There must be other reasons for this. ”
Ye Shenrong glanced at Peng Xinwei obliquely: "Then tell me, what are the other reasons?"
Peng Xinwei was hesitant and couldn't figure it out.
Ye Shenrong sighed: "No matter what the reason, this plan failed. I don't dare to try again, otherwise it will cost me my strength in vain, and I will find another way. ”
Peng Xinwei frowned slightly, thought about it, and leaned closer and said, "Brother Ye, I have a law, why don't we ......?"
......
For a few days, the demon beast seemed to have agreed and would not come again. The immortal cultivators also sent people to visit, and found that the demon beast army headquarters was stationed a hundred miles west of the defensive line. The great sects and the loose cultivators all got the news about the Sunset Flame Wolf and the mysterious young man, and they did not dare to make a big attack. Wolf demon beasts have emperors such as "Sunset Flame Wolf" appearing, God knows if other demon beasts also have such giant demons, and no one wants to repeat the mistakes of Taiqing Sect. Immortal cultivators and demon beasts have temporarily entered a truce.
On this day, the weather finally cleared, and in the Tianlu Tower of Jianzhou City, Xianglong County, several immortal cultivators dressed in various Taoist robes were sitting around a table, drinking and talking casually.
"Brother Zhao, alas, the demon beast doesn't know when it will retreat, and your senior brothers have all sacrificed, right?" asked a lean man in a blue Dao robe at the head of the east.
"Don't mention it, I'm the only one left. We're still okay, with Mr. Yi, Senior Pei and others, as well as the masters of the Fengling Sect, the demon beasts don't want to break through the pass at all. In this way, the death of several senior brothers for the Qinglong Continent is also valuable. A fair young man to the south took a wistful sip of wine.
"Don't be too optimistic, haven't you heard? There was a sunset flame wolf near Huoye Mountain, and a few demon fires extinguished dozens of masters of Kanglong County, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be any terrifying demon beasts on our side...... "Sitting at the west end of the table was a blue-bearded old man.
"Of course I've heard about such a big thing, and it is said that there is also a mysterious young man who has seriously injured the master of the late Mahayana stage of the Taiqing Sect and almost lost his life!" said a woman on the north side of the table.
The voice of a few people was not soft, and it was the news about demon beasts and immortal cultivators, and the people at the surrounding tables were also listening carefully. Dozens of masters of Kanglong County were destroyed, and the masters of the Mahayana period of the Taiqing Sect were defeated, and even ordinary people were very concerned about such important news.
"Ah, the late Mahayana period can't be defeated, or the masters of the Taiqing Sect, it is estimated that they are not much worse than Mr. Yi, if that mysterious young man comes to attack us, won't it be over?"
The green-bearded old man in the west touched his beard: "Don't be too nervous now, after all, the Zhenzong swords of the seven major sects of my cultivation immortal realm have not yet been unsheathed, and Mr. Yi also has the Dingguang Sword, the Mahayana master plus the peerless immortal sword, I don't believe that young man can be defeated." What's more, there's even better news" At this point, he suddenly paused, smiled, and said no more.
A strong man at the adjacent table couldn't help but ask, "This fellow Daoist, you have finished speaking, what is the good news?"
Several people at the same table also urged: "Yes, Lao Li, don't sell Guanzi, what's the news?"
The old man with the green beard looked around, and found that the people on the entire floor had stopped their chopsticks and looked at him with concern, and he said with some pride: "Okay, since everyone wants to hear it, I will tell you." The peerless fairy sword ranked second in the "Immortal Sword Spectrum" is about to reappear in the rivers and lakes!"
There was silence in the restaurant, and no one spoke for a long time, because the news was so shocking.
The old man with the green beard laughed, raised his glass and drank it all.
"Lao Li, is it really fake? Don't fool people!" the young man on the south side of the table was incredulous.
The old man with the green beard was slightly dissatisfied: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, I, Li Chongwen, have never believed it." ”
"Senior Brother Li, what did you just say about Zhan Lu?" asked the woman from the north of the table.
Li Chongwen nodded: "It is the peerless immortal sword Zhan Lu Sword of Biyou Sword Immortal." ”
"Wow", the restaurant was suddenly full of people, people were talking to each other, some were extremely excited, some were half-convinced, and some denied it in their mouths: "Impossible, impossible!"
The big man at the next table stood up, clasped his fists and saluted the people around him, and said loudly: "Everyone, please don't be impatient, it's not clear whether this news is true or not, I'm just curious, how did this Li Daoyou know about this news?"
Someone around immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes, Zhan Lu Immortal Sword has disappeared without a trace since Biyou Sword Immortal ascended to immortal, how could it suddenly appear in the world?"
Li Chongwen hurriedly said: "I didn't say that the Zhanlu Immortal Sword has appeared, I just said that it is about to reappear in the rivers and lakes." ”
"What's the difference? You said that you are about to appear, where is the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword now? The key is how do you know? You are not Biyou Sword Immortal!" the big man continued to ask, and his voice was like a bell.
"Before Biyou Sword Immortal ascended to immortal, he secretly hid the Zhanlu Immortal Sword somewhere, and left a map, just follow the drawings on the map to find it, and you can naturally find it. As to where I got my information, I have no comment. ”
"Tell me, then, where is the map?" asked the strong man again.
"The map has already been obtained by the Sect Master of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, so I say that this is great news for immortal cultivators like us. When I found the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword, why worry
Demon beasts are immortal?" Li Chongwen looked proud, as if he had obtained the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword.
Everyone was silent, looking at Li Chongwen's appearance, it didn't look like nonsense, even if it was nonsense, he didn't dare to talk about Ye Shenrong.
"What's the matter, you also want to go to Zhan Lu Immortal Sword? Youben grabbed the map in advance and then said!Haha, let's go!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Chongwen couldn't stop laughing, got up and left the restaurant with the other three.
"It seems that Tianyun Sect has made a lot of money this time, if you find the Zhanlu Immortal Sword, that day Yunzong will have two peerless immortal swords, and one of them will rank as high as second in the "Immortal Sword Spectrum", it is too powerful, too powerful!" The strong man shook his head and sat down and continued to drink.
"Biyou Sword Immortal left a map, why hasn't anyone known about it for so many years?" said a drinker.
"Nonsense, it's normal that no one knows about this precious thing. If you got it, what would you tell someone?" replied the strong man without raising his head.
"Anyway, it's a good thing that there is news of Zhan Lu Immortal Sword now. If the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword appears, then we will be more sure of fighting the demon beasts. Another guest said.
"Not only that, if this matter is true, the Cloud Sect may make even more money that day. The strong man said.
"What do you mean by that?" several people asked him in unison.
The strong man put down his wine glass: "Fellow Daoists, do you know about the 'Biyou Sword Immortal'?" The name of the 'Biyou Sword Immortal' is Mu Donghua, who has a profound cultivation and a kind temperament. During the Great War of Immortals and Demons, the 'Biyou Sword Immortal' and his two cultivators were outnumbered in the northeast of the Wuling Mountain Range, killing several sword demons, which was extraordinary. Do you know who the twin cultivators of the 'Biyou Sword Immortal' are?"
Everyone shook their heads, most of them had just heard the name of "Biyou Sword Immortal" Mu Donghua, and they didn't know his life in detail.
The strong man took a deep breath: "The double cultivator of 'Biyou Sword Immortal' Mu Donghua is none other than 'Phoenix Sword Immortal' Zhu Xuanrong!"
Now the restaurant has become more lively, "Phoenix Sword Immortal" Zhu Xuanrong, her fame is no weaker than Mu Donghua, because she is the owner of the fourth-ranked fairy sword Tai'a Sword in "Fairy Sword Spectrum".
"It just so happens that the Tai'a Immortal Sword has not been heard from all the time, you say, just by virtue of the relationship between their husband and wife, will they put the two immortal swords of Zhan Lu and Tai'a together?" the strong man said.
People couldn't sit still anymore and got up and left the restaurant. With such important news, no one can hold back.
After everyone left, only a strong man and a man wearing a gray cloak and a hat were left in the restaurant. The man drank all the wine in the pot, got up and came to the strong man's side, stretched out his hand and gently put it on the strong man's shoulder, and said, "Your play is good!"
Listening to this person's hoarse voice, it should be an old man, but it doesn't look like his figure. The big man shouted angrily: "Who are you?" He just wanted to get up, and suddenly, a terrifying force came from the hand on his shoulder, which directly pressed him back into the chair.
"You don't care who I am. What is the purpose of you cooperating with those people to spread rumors?" the man asked.
The big man pretended to be stupid: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"Hmph, don't say yes. This person was secretly lucky, and Dahan suddenly felt as if a big stone was pressed on his shoulder, and it became heavier and heavier.
"You really misunderstood, I didn't act with those people, I didn't know them at all!"
The man didn't answer, he didn't let go, and the big man felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, but he still refused to admit it.
"Click", the big man's shoulder bone was shattered, and he yelled in pain, but no matter how hard he resisted, he just couldn't stand up. Gradually, even the floor on the second floor made a "crunch" sound. Xiao Er saw this situation, and he was already so frightened that he hid.
"Spare your life, I say, I say!" the big man couldn't hold back any longer, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that the bones in his body would be crushed.
"It was Sect Master Ye of the Tianyun Sect who asked us to cooperate with each other to spread the news, and I just did what he told me to do. I really don't know if it's true or not, and for what purpose, so please let me go!" begged the man.
"Let me ask you, did Ye Shenrong mention a piece of silk?"
"What silk? He didn't say it, I really don't know......" The big man panicked, for fear that the man would be troubled by it.
"He won't tell you either. The man finally let go of his hand, and the big man collapsed on the table. The man dropped a few taels of silver and left the restaurant like a gust of wind.
The shopkeeper found that the big man was lying on the table for a long time and didn't move, so he walked over and shouted twice, and gently pushed again, and found that the big man was already out of breath. "The person wearing the hat is really cruel...... Xiao Er shuddered.
At this time, the people wearing the hat had already walked out of Jianzhou City. He took off his cloak and revealed a pale red shirt, and he, it should be said that she was, a woman with a graceful figure. She took off her hat, and her waist-length hair fell and fluttered in the wind. But the strange thing is that her face seems to be shrouded in a faint mist, and she can't see her face clearly. Like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, although it is gorgeous, it cannot leave an impression. She looked back at the vague Jianzhou City and smiled: "Tianyun Sect...... Ye Shenrong...... Oh, interesting. Then, with a few flickering moments, her figure vanished into the distance.
The news of Zhan Lu Jian spread quickly, and immortal cultivators, martial arts people, the military, and ordinary people were all talking about it. The influence of the Immortal and Demon War is too great, and the eighteen peerless immortal swords have a great power on the handle. The current growth of the Seven Great Sects is inextricably linked to the deterrent power of the peerless immortal sword. But the map of the hidden sword was obtained by Ye Shenrong, and the strength of the Tianyun Sect was there, so most people believed that the Zhanlu Immortal Sword was already in the bag of the Tianyun Sect.
Of course, there are also people who are uncomfortable, and that is the other six major sects. Red Sun Sect Master Zhu Honglie was worried, he was worried that the status of the Red Sun Sect would not be guaranteed; Yeli Sect Master Guo Yunchao was curious, he wanted to see the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword with his own eyes; Cold Moon Sect Master Yan Sushuang was calm, she was not a competitive person, and the same was true of the Cold Moon Sect; Fengling Sect Master Taiqian was Xin
Xi, she felt that there was hope for subduing the lost territory; Taiqing Sect Master Li Yuanxiao was surprised, he wondered how the recent series of events were related to the Tianyun Sect; the most disturbing was the Ethereal Sect Master Zuo Aolien, the Ethereal Sect's Liujing Sword was only two places worse than the Tianyun Sect's Gongbu Sword in the "Immortal Sword Spectrum", if Ye Shenrong was allowed to get the Zhan Lu Sword, that Tianyun Sect would be famous, and it would be just around the corner to develop into the first sect in the Qinglong Continent, Zuo Aolian definitely didn't want to see this. In short, the state of mind of the six sect masters was very delicate, and after the news spread, they all withdrew and came to Shizhou City. In addition to them, Yi Liuchen, Pei Xuefeng, and Yu Feipeng, as representatives of the scattered cultivators, also came to Shizhou for the news of Zhan Lu Immortal Sword.
Ye Shenrong seemed to have expected this, he warmly received the visitors, and agreed to announce the news of the hidden sword map the next day.
Early the next morning, the heavyweights of the immortal cultivation world gathered in the council mansion. Ye Shenrong cleared his throat: "I know that you are here for the matter of Zhan Lu's hidden sword map. Indeed, the Hidden Sword Diagram has been obtained by my Tianyun Sect. ”
"Heh, Sect Master Ye originally planned to secretly search for the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword by himself, right? It's a pity that you miscalculated, I didn't expect that someone in your sect would leak such an important secret without a mouthful, and now everyone knows it, it's really a pity!" Zuo Aolian said with a smile.
Ye Shenrong smiled indifferently: "What Sect Master Zuo said is not true, I originally didn't plan to go to find the sword alone. ”
Guo Yunchao said: "No, Lao Ye, that's the dignified Zhan Lu Immortal Sword! ”
Ye Shenrong did not refute: "After you look at the hidden sword diagram, you will naturally know what the reason is. He took out a white cloth from his bosom, placed it on the table, and slowly unfolded it.
This is a hidden sword diagram! Everyone immediately gathered around, and everyone stared at the white cloth with wide eyes. If you look closely, you can see that this is a piece of white silk, and the material is very bright, but the silk is empty, and there is nothing.
Yi Liuchen frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Sect Master Ye, is this ......?"
"Don't worry. Ye Shenrong pressed his palms on the white silk, gathering spiritual power in his palms, and after a while, beads of sweat appeared on his head. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.
Suddenly, Ye Shenrong suddenly exhaled a long breath, withdrew his palm, and staggered back to sit on the chair.
"Ahh
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the white silk, and what was surprising was that the white silk, which had just been clearly empty, actually appeared with lines glowing red, outlining a series of complex figures. When everyone wanted to take a closer look, the red lines gradually disappeared.
"Sect Master Ye, what's going on?" Zhu Honglie asked eagerly.
"Alas, this hidden sword diagram can only be revealed by infusing spiritual power. A few days ago, I was healing the Miao seniors of the Taiqing Sect, and my spiritual power and skill were greatly damaged, and it was really not enough to support it. Please also use the spiritual power as I did just now, the more spiritual power consumed, the longer the time to display the map, the longest is an hour, and people in the middle stage of extinction need to consume one-third of their spiritual power. Ye Shenrong explained breathlessly.
"Then it's up to me, after all, Sect Master Ye was injured in order to save my sect master. Li Yuan said. He came to the table, like Ye Shenrong just now, pressed the white silk with both palms, concentrated spiritual power in the palms of his hands, and fell into the white silk. He was already in the late stage of annihilation, and he had consumed about a quarter of his spiritual power, and he felt that the spiritual power in the white silk was full, so he withdrew his hands.
Sure enough, the mysterious red lines of light reappeared, and they were brighter and clearer than the previous one. At this time, everyone saw the appearance of the hidden sword diagram clearly.
At the top of the white silk, there are six dots, forming the pattern of the six stars of the Southern Dipper, and there is a large character "fire" below. The word "fire" is vigorous and powerful, and there seems to be infinite sword intent between the strokes. At the bottom left of the word "fire" is a map composed of some curved lines, and in the center of the map is a hole, next to which are three small characters "Huoyun Cave". On the right side of the map, there are a few words:
"Nandou Six Star Palace,
Dragon Fire Cloud Cave.
If you are not a Mahayana,
If you enter, you will be sent. ”
In the lower right corner of the white silk, there are a few words: "Biyou Mu Donghua". Seeing this, everyone was excited, these five words showed that this picture was indeed the handwriting of Biyou Sword Immortal Mu Donghua. What's more, the treasure map of the spirit Fang Xian, Ye Shenrong doesn't have that level if he wants to fake.
Taiqian asked, "Sect Master Ye, looking at the meaning of these poems, the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword should be in the Huoyun Cave in Xianglong County. Where's the Fire Cloud Cave?"
Ye Shenrong shook his head and said, "As far as I know, there is no place called 'Huoyun Cave' in Xianglong County. ”
Zuo Aolian said coldly: "Then Sect Master Ye means that Biyou Sword Immortal is playing tricks on us? Besides, there is a map on the white silk, and we don't know much about Xianglong County, don't you know much?"
Ye Shenrong was very dissatisfied: "What does Sect Master Zuo mean by this? Although there is a map, I have carefully checked every place in Xianglong County, and there is no match. If you don't believe me, you can compare it yourself!" As he spoke, he grabbed a large picture scroll beside him and threw it on the table, and the scroll "Gollum" unfolded, which was the topography map of Xianglong County.
Yi Liuchen suddenly said: "Since Sect Master Ye said so, then we have the right to believe it." It's just that I have a doubt, I don't know where Sect Master Ye got this wonderful white silk?"
For Yi Liuchen, Ye Shenrong didn't dare to be disrespectful: "Mr. Yi, this piece of white silk was handed over to me by the Shentu seniors of the Sect. As for where he got the white silk, I really don't know. ”
Yi Liuchen smiled slightly: "It turned out to be Shen Tuxu." Did he also tell you the trick of this spiritual manifestation?"
"Not really. Senior Shentu was busy cultivating, so he handed me the white silk. At the time, he said that there was a big secret hidden on the silk, but he had not found a way to crack it. So I researched day and night and finally found the trick. Ye Shenrong replied.
Yi Liuchen nodded thoughtfully and said no more. And the others have begun to compare the white silk with the map, inch by inch.
