After the stone box was slowly pushed open, the gray-white translucent figure wrapped in long hair stretched out its slender fingers and brushed away its own hair like a curtain.

Jian Jing opened his eyes.

The eyes like a rainy day stared at the comer, and there was hatred that thunder and lightning were coming, and the rain was about to pour out.

"Do you still want to trick me?" Jian Jing gritted his teeth, not having any sense of trust in the young man in front of him.

Ning Chang sighed and said, "You look at my eyes, do you think I lied to you this time?"

Jian Jing looked at his calm eyes, and couldn't wait to directly reach out and pull out a pair of eyes that seemed to be clear but were actually dirty and dirty, "If you are sincere, immediately learn the remaining six tricks and let me enter your body, if you don't want to, then don't say anything else." ”

Ning Changjiu ignored him, but asked, "If I take the Sword Sutra with me, will it be the same?"

Jian Jing said angrily: "The same? You carry your head on your hands and put it on your neck?"

This subtle metaphor persuaded Ning Changjiu, who thought for a while and continued: "Then after you enter my body, how should I restrict you?"

Jian Jing was stunned again, could it be that he still had to teach this shameless villain how to oppress himself?

"Are you a fool to me?" the Sword Sutra was furious.

Ning Changjiu said truthfully: "Earlier, you occupied Yan Zhou's consciousness all of a sudden, which made me a little worried. ”

Jian Jing said indignantly: "I'm living in your house, and you still don't let me use your brain?

Ning Chang got up and said, "Since you want to talk about it like this, there's nothing to talk about." ”

As he spoke, he reached out to close the box.

"Wait!wait!" "Sword Sutra shouted, "Let's talk...... Can't I talk about it? Or ...... You've learned the remaining six tricks first?"

Ning stared at it calmly for a long time.

Jian Jing finally sighed and said, "Alas, it's still easy for the old people to get along with." ”

"Answer my previous question. Ning Chang said.

Jian Jing said: "Yan Zhou is a dying person, he has an empty body, his spiritual will is very weak, I have been in his body for so many years, of course it is easy to occupy him, but he made a blood oath, even if I occupy him, I can't get out of the library, so I have been standing still all these years." But you're different, you're strong-blooded, even if I occupy your body, I can only occupy a moment of consciousness, and it will take at least decades of effort. ”

"Decades?" Ning thought for a long time and said, "How many years?"

Without waiting for the Sword Sutra to answer, Ning Changjiu first summoned his own golden crow, and after the Sword Sutra saw this golden crow, he was startled.

He didn't know the golden crow, but he could feel the godhead emanating from it, which made it want to burrow back into its urn when it longed for freedom, and it felt that if it looked at the bird a few more times, its body would be burned transparent and then dissipated.

Ning Chang said: "This golden crow can verify whether what you say is a lie or the truth, if you lie to me, you may become its food." ”

"Are you a ghost?" Jian Jing reluctantly raised his head and said, "I am a true spirit born in the Book of Divine Scrolls, just because you are a little bird, and you still want to eat me?"

Ning looked at it for a long time, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Although the Sword Sutra was tough on the lips, it was also stunned in its heart, and it cautiously glanced at the terrible golden crow of unknown origin, and its heart trembled.

"Answer my question. Ning Chang said.

Jian Jing buried himself back in his hair, thought for a long time, and then said, "Two years at most." ”

Ning Chang said: "Two years...... Yours decades are so short. ”

Manager Jian said bluntly: "It's not to lie to you!"

Ning Chang nodded and took back the golden crow.

Only then did the Sword Sutra breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Is it ...... Does it really know if I'm lying or not?"

Ning Changjiu said truthfully: "No." ”

"......" Jian Jing rubbed his hands, as if he was sharpening his sword, full of anger in his heart.

At the same time, it was also disappointed, and it knew in its heart that if it only had a two-year period, this young man would definitely not agree to it, even if he liked wealth and danger.

Is it going to be a soup again? Jian Jing wailed in his heart.

But after thinking for a while, Ning stretched out his hand and said calmly: "Teach me the next few tricks." ”

Jian Jing's eyes widened, "Are you serious?"

Ning Chang nodded calmly.

These six moves are also weird, like shadows dancing in the depths of the night.

Ning Chang has had his own unique comprehension of this sword move in many killings, so he can reproduce the last six moves exactly the same after just watching them once.

Jian Jing sighed with emotion: "You are the most talented person I have ever met. ”

Ning Changjiu looked a little unappreciative: "That's because you haven't been out of the Heavenly Cave Peak since you were born." ”

"......" Sword Jing also felt a little embarrassed, it thought about freedom every day, but in the end for decades, it was always trapped in this square inch of land, going around and around and couldn't get out.

Ning Changchang learned all the eighteen-style sword moves and asked, "Does this sword have a name?"

Jian Jing's eyes were blazing, and he screamed: "What do you like to call." After that, for fear that he would regret it, his body jumped up like a spring, hooked Ning Changjiu, and then turned into a gray-white light, dragging the sword scripture and drilling into Ning Changjiu's body together.

Ning Chang watched this bloodsucker-like body burrow into his skin without doing anything to stop it.

......

......

"Xiaoling, have you seen your senior brother?" Lu Marry knocked on Ning Xiaoling's door.

Ning Xiaoling, who was chatting with Han Xiaosu, was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately sensed her own mood, and then she found that her senior brother's mood seemed to be very calm, and she shook her head and said, "No, is the senior brother gone again?"

Lu Marrying snorted and said, "It's okay, I'll go find him." ”

"I'll go with Master. Senior brother must still be in the peak. Ning Xiaoling said firmly.

Lu married and said: "No need, you stay in the room and don't go out, there may be something big happening today, but don't be afraid, the master will protect you." ”

Ning Xiaoling was not reluctant, and nodded obediently.

After Lu got married, he walked towards the main hall of the peak.

The main hall of the peak is located at the top of the Heavenly Cave Peak.

The peak is the coldest, during which the snow has not yet melted, and there are occasional ice lotuses blooming in the snow, blooming in a corner of the temple wall.

Lu married and stepped on the snow at the top of the peak, and came to the hall in an instant, leaving no footprints on the flat snow.

She pushed open the temple door and entered.

The hall was not lit, it was dim, she squatted down and looked at the smooth floor, and there was no trace of anyone coming, but she was still relieved, opened her sword and looked at it carefully, and then, she finally found a trace of the movement of objects under the portrait of the ancestor in the main hall.

That's where the Sword Sutra is hidden.

But the stone box of the Sword Sutra was still intact.

"Where the hell have the people gone?" Lu married and muttered to himself in vain.

......

Hidden peak, cold prison.

Ning Chang held a sword and sat on the ground.

It's a dark corner, and there isn't a ray of light to shine onto, and the sound of water droplets dropping seems distant.

He used the Occult Technique to drain almost all of his breath.

He's waiting here for someone, someone he's going to kill.

He wasn't even sure if this person existed, but his instincts had rarely deceived him over the years.

He always felt that there was danger hidden in the Heavenly Cave Peak.

As for the source of this danger, he originally thought it would be Hanchi Zhenren.

But at this moment, Han Chi Zhenren has obviously left, but his sense of uneasiness has increased instead of decreasing.

He knew that the root of this feeling was related to Bing Rong's assassination that day.

Ning Changjiu originally thought that Bingrong's assassination was planned by Han Chi Zhenren, but he couldn't figure out the reason why Han Chi Zhenren wanted to kill Lu to marry.

He felt that there was still something hidden in the cold prison

Others.

He hid in a dark corner, his hand on the hilt of his sword, like a stone growing here, without a trace of superfluous breath fluctuations.

Time ticked by, and the world around us was silent.

This process was silent and long, and even made Ning Chang have a thought that his intuition was wrong.

Finally, I don't know how many water droplets on the stalactites dripped down, and in the darkness ahead, there was a trace of spatial fluctuations.

Ning Chang's closed eyes opened a line.

He hooked his fingers and put away the strings that stood between the corridors to detect pedestrians.

The breath was getting closer and closer, like a slow wind, like an old cow pulling a heavy wagon.

Ning Chang's heart is like stopping water.

It's a pity that there is nothing to reflect his shadow here, otherwise he would have been able to use the method of water and moon in the mirror and completely remove all his breath.

But even so, he was sure that the man would not find him.

"Come out. ”

The sound of the voice was abrupt and heavy in this not spacious corridor.

It was an older man who spoke.

This abrupt sentence made Dening's heart tremble, and he almost couldn't control the concealment technique, directly exposing his body and fleeing backwards.

Just when he couldn't make up his mind for a short time, another fluctuation of the breath of life flooded.

Ning Changchang realized that there were still people hiding in this narrow corridor.

Footsteps sounded in the darkness.

Ning Chang took advantage of the gap where the footsteps sounded, and quickly covered up a trace of his exposed flaws, and returned to extreme quiet.

"Master. A man's voice rang out in the darkness.

The voice was humble and sincere, with a faint sense of anticipation.

Ning Changjiu recognized that voice, Lu Yuanbai.

Ning Changjiu also quickly remembered that when Hanchi Zhenren was out of the customs, Lu Yuanbai had said that Hanchi Zhenren was half of his master.

It is almost self-evident who the other half of the master is.

He was the master of Lu Marriage and Bingrong, and the previous peak master of Tianguo Peak.

Ning Changjiu had seen his portrait in the Peak Lord Hall, and the name written on it was Jin Feibai.

"You're here?" the old man's voice didn't hear any emotion.

Lu Yuanbai said: "Master, Hanchi Zhenren has left Tianzong, you have endured for many years, and you can finally get out of the customs, I am here to pick you up." ”

The old man said, "Really, why didn't you come out earlier?"

Lu Yuanbai said: "Be cautious, this is the truth that Master taught me. ”

The old man nodded and said, "What realm was Han Chi Zhenren before leaving?"

Lu Yuanbai shook his head and said, "I can't see it, but it shouldn't have reached the fifth realm yet." ”

"What about the snake at the bottom of the peak?" asked the old man again.

The Sect Master rode away with it. Now the position of the sect master of Huanpu Mountain is vacant, just waiting for the master to come out. Lu Yuanbai replied.

The old man was silent for a while, as if he was still uneasy, and said, "What realm are the rest of the peak masters in now?"

Lu Yuanbai said seriously: "The pair of sisters and brothers of Hanging Sun Peak and Huiyang Peak are not in the same climate, and Jing Yang Xia's injuries have not healed after today's battle. ”

"And what about my female apprentice?" asked the old man again.

"Senior sister has not yet entered the Purple Court Realm, so there is no need to worry. Lu Yuanbai replied.

The old man hummed very softly, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away.

"Master, what are you hesitating about?" Lu Yuanbai asked.

The old man retracted his thoughts, stared at Lu Yuanbai's eyes in the dark, and said slowly, "Then what realm are you in now?"

Lu Yuanbai seemed to lower his head a little, his voice was obviously lowered, and he became more and more humble: "Han Chi Zhenren helped me open my mind, and the apprentice has only luckily broken into the first realm of the Purple Court now, and he has some attainments in swordsmanship, and the others are not worth mentioning." ”

The old man said, "Let me see your sword." ”

Lu Yuanbai refused: "Where do I dare to get an axe?"

The old man sighed, "When I brought you and Bingrong back to the peak, she was still a hairy girl, and you were just a teenager. ”

Lu Yuanbai smiled, he habitually touched his waist, and found that he didn't bring wine, but said, "That was twenty years ago." ”

The old man said: "You, like Bing Rong, are people who embark on the path of cultivation with hatred, so I have always believed that you can go far, far away, but Bing Rong disappointed me, but fortunately you didn't." ”

Lu Yuanbai seemed to remember the past time, first smiled softly, and then the smile turned into a sad sigh: "Senior Sister Bingrong...... It's a pity, is she still in the cold prison? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not here, there was civil strife in the Hidden Peak that day, and Bing Rong escaped from the Hidden Peak, and then never came back." ”

Lu Yuanbai said: "On the day of the civil strife in Yinfeng, the people who escaped were all dead......

The old man asked, "What happened to the Hidden Peak Rebellion that day?"

Lu Yuanbai explained: "It was a little trick of Han Chi Zhenren, when an elder was about to betray him, let his blood curse attack and die directly, and before he died, he said the first half of the real person's name, and the real person took advantage of the situation, and ordered someone to secretly break the cold prison from the inside and attract attention." ”

"Why did Lu marry Yin Feng and come back?" the old man asked.

Lu Yuanbai was a little strange about this question, and said, "Senior sister has gone down...... Of course you have to come up. ”

The old man asked, "Then does she know about the bottom of the peak?"

Lu Yuanbai recalled the words of the sect master when he came out of the peak, shook his head and said, "I shouldn't know." ”

This conversation was very ordinary, like a simple small talk between master and apprentice, but when it fell on Ning Changchang's ears, it had a completely different meaning.

He figured out a lot more in a very short time.

The old peak master should have gone down to the bottom of the peak and spied on the secrets of Hanchi Zhenren. And when Hanchi Zhenren found out, he wanted to get rid of him. The old peak master was not the opponent of Hanchi Zhenren, he was afraid, so he pretended to be polluted by the evil at the bottom of the peak, and began to pretend to be crazy, and then was seriously injured under the joint efforts of the three peaks, and soon took the opportunity to "die".

He didn't know how to deceive Hanchi Zhenren, and after faking his death, he hid in a cold prison, hid the breath of the exercises, and hid incognito for many years.

And on that day, Lu married to the bottom of the peak, but came back unharmed, and then the cold prison was broken, and Lu married and killed many, many people.

The old peak lord knew that Han Chi Zhenren was powerful, so he thought that Lu Marrying could come back safely at the bottom of the peak after marrying, and he must have reached some kind of deal with Han Chi Zhenren, and the massacre after Lu Marrying made him a little flustered, he thought that the fact that he was hiding in the cold prison had aroused the suspicion of Han Chi Zhenren, and everything Lu Marrying did was instructed by the real person.

Many people died in the cold prison that day, and he even had the urge to escape directly, but in the end he held back.

Lu Marry didn't find him in the end, he was glad that he had a panic, he knew that Lu Married, who was born as his own apprentice, had now become the sword of Han Chi Zhenren.

So he wanted to get rid of Lu Marriage.

This was the source of Bingrong's assassination that night.

It didn't take long for Ning Chang to figure out this, because he had long felt that there was a person missing from this series of things, and now that the final person was filled, everything finally came to light.

It's just that for some reason, the old peak master is so sure that Han Chi Zhenren will not come back after leaving, so that even if Bing Rong's assassination fails, he didn't leave, but waited desperately for everything to settle.

"Master, I still don't understand, why did you let your junior sister sit in the position of the peak master in the first place?" Lu Yuanbai said: "Senior sister is not afraid of power, but she is soft-hearted but refuses to admit defeat. You should know that the character of the junior sister is not suitable for being the peak master. Over the years...... She's hard. ”

The old peak master said: "If Bing Rong didn't create a big sin, the peak master has such a heavy responsibility, of course, he doesn't need to marry to carry it, but it's a pity...... Everything is fateful. But now it's all over, and when I enter the Circumvention Mountain, you will be the successor of the next sect master. ”

Lu Yuanbai replied simply: "Thank you, Master." ”

The old peak master sighed

, said: "You seem to be a little absent-minded." ”

Lu Yuanbai came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, Master, I'll take you back to the peak." ”

The old peak master nodded: "Okay." ”

The footsteps sounded softly, and I didn't take two steps, but stopped again.

"By the way, Master, there is a big incident happening in Fengli today. Lu Yuanbai said suddenly.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" the old peak lord didn't care.

"The second half of the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra ......" Lu Yuanbai paused and said, "It's out." ”

"What?!" The old peak master almost didn't hide his emotions: "That half of the sword scripture, found it?"

Lu Yuanbai hummed, and then roughly explained what happened today.

The old peak lord sighed: "I never thought it would be like this...... Uncle Yan Zhou, it's a pity. By the way, doesn't the Sect Master know about this?"

Lu Yuanbai said: "That young man deceived the sect master and didn't mention the Sword Sutra. ”

The old peak lord couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you think that Han Chi Zhenren Wise I could actually let a little child deceive him?"

Lu Yuanbai said: "That young man is quite remarkable. ”

The old peak master was noncommittal, but said: "The achievements in the future should not be small, but now that I am young after all, I can't afford to make any big waves." ”

Lu Yuanbai also didn't answer anything, the footsteps sounded again, and the two of them seemed to be talking about the same, but they walked silently towards the outside of the corridor together.

They are getting closer and closer to Ning Changchang.

Ning Changjiu was originally seventy percent sure of assassinating the old peak master, but now that Lu Yuanbai was by his side, his chances were greatly reduced.

But he didn't have much of a choice.

Ning Chang's hand on the hilt of the sword slowly tightened.

In the dark, even the sound of a falling pin is infinitely amplified.

The sound of footsteps, the sound of water dripping, the sound of slight conversation from time to time, the whole corridor was like a flute, playing a low wandering tune, and in that tune there was a hidden murmur of death from far and near.

The sound of the blade breaking through the air rang out.

There was not a glimmer of light on the blade that cut through the air, like darkness itself.

The darkness was indescribably sharp, and the hand that didn't know where was invisibly pushing the sword to cut away at a faster speed.

The darkness melted into another darkness.

It's like water dripping into a cup.

Beads of blood were splashed.

The sound of blood beads falling on the ground disrupted the sound of water droplets on the stalactites.

Ning Chang gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

He didn't draw his sword!

There are other people who really make the sword.

"Why?" asked the old peak master.

Lu Yuanbai held his sword in the dark, his back against the cold wall, blood dripping down his wrist.

Lu Yuanbai laughed: "Teenage children can't make any waves, they should not understand anything and be kept in the dark for the rest of their lives...... Isn't that right, Master?"

The old peak master didn't answer directly, he was silent for a long time before asking, "You know everything?"

Lu Yuanbai laughed miserably: "Bing Rong...... You did it, right?"

The question is the disaster of the Bingrong family's destruction back then.

The old peak master said calmly: "It's just a matter of pushing the boat." ”

"Why?" asked Lu Yuanbai.

Lao Feng said: "Because she, like you, is a one-in-100,000-thousand-mile cultivator." But the embryo is not enough, it takes a real fire to burn perfectly, and hatred is the best fire. ”

"So you killed so many people?" Lu Yuanbai's voice trembled, the uncle who was smug and loved to drink on weekdays seemed to have been swallowed up by the darkness, and all that was left was a man trembling his body and soul in the dark.

The old peak master didn't answer his words, he knew that he was morally wrong, but he never thought that he was wrong, and the only thing he did wrong was to expose his flaws, which made Lu Yuanbai aware of the truth.

"Back then, I felt that you could go farther than Bing Rong, because you hid your hatred better. The old peak lord looked at his face and said, "It's just a pity that you still couldn't hide it today." ”

Lu Yuanbai leaned against the wall, covering his arms. Although his previous assassination had injured the old peak master, his own injuries were even more serious.

Lu Yuanbai laughed, with a slight choked up in his laughter: "Because if I don't kill you today, I will never have a chance again!"

His voice was like a roar.

Lu Yuanbai handed the sword to his left hand and slashed into the darkness like crazy.

The old peak lord's sigh sounded.

He didn't lie to Lu Yuanbai, he really wanted to cultivate him as the next sect master.

And the most exciting thing is that the second half of the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra has been found, which is simply the favor of God for him.

This is the highest point in my thoughts.

He no longer had pity for the life of this beloved disciple, and he drew a false sword, intending to behead him to death.

But suddenly his neck was cold.

Just as his head left his body, he realized that another sword had stabbed behind him.

His consciousness had penetrated, but his hands and feet could not react.

He didn't know who it was.

The blade of the sword slashed through the throat, and the sword qi slashed the neck.

His head rolled to the ground like a watermelon, shattering.

Ning Chang withdrew his sword.

After fusing the Sword Sutra, his mortal sword was so strong that it was unimaginable for ordinary cultivators.

Lu Yuanbai felt the death of his master, he guessed the sword maker, and tentatively shouted, "Ning Changchang?"

Ning Changjiu hummed softly, and then slashed his corpse with his sword, piercing his heart.

Lu Yuanbai was originally relieved, but suddenly, a thought lit up his mind like lightning, "Be careful! Be careful that my master will be reincarnated! That's how he deceived ......back then."

Lu Yuanbai was only halfway through his words, and the breath of frost filled the entire space.

His words froze in his throat.

Ning Changchang knew that something was wrong, and he felt something stand abruptly behind him.

The golden crow in his body hissed, wanting to break through the purple mansion and feed on it.

But it seems to be too late.

The sound of the sword breaking through the scabbard was light and fast.

After a sword, Ning Changchang was unharmed.

The chill in the corridor gradually dissipated.

In the dark, Lu Married took back the sword, she opened her sword eyes, and looked at the body of the old man on the ground who had been separated.

She stared for a moment, then lowered her eyelids and withdrew her gaze.

"Who is he?" Lu asked softly.

Ning Changjiu felt her familiar aura, and didn't know how to answer, so he just said softly, "Why are you here?"

"I'm coming for you. Lu married.

"How did you know I was here?" asked Ning Changjiu.

"Do you really think I'm a fool?" Lu said coldly, she squatted down, untied her coat, and draped it over him.

Ning Changjiu suddenly whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Lu Marrying said expressionlessly: "This person wants to leave the cold prison without permission, and he is innocent of death......

"You...... Did you hear it?" Ning Chang asked.

Lu did not answer.

"Master?" Ning Changjiu called out to her softly.

Lu married and still did not respond.

Ning Chang found that flexible silk threads began to appear on her body, and those silk threads wrapped her like a huge cocoon, and she had closed her eyes, like a fairy in a crystal coffin.

The last sword that Lu married was actually the sword of the killer.

After this sword, she was about to truly step into the Purple Court Realm.

Before the Thunder Tribulation arrived, the Heart Demon Tribulation came first.

Ning Changjiu is not worried about her going through the Demon Tribulation, with her heart at the moment, it is not difficult to get out of the Tribulation.

It's just a coincidence that the Heavenly Sword Sect suddenly shook like an earthquake.

Soon, the news of the sect master's return to the peak would spread throughout the peak.
