The robed Taoist is Yang Xi, the head of the Shangqing faction "Dao Jianzi".

Although Yang Xi is over fifty years old, his gait is like flying, steady and free, he put away the Dao Xuan Sword, stroked his long beard and said: "Demon and evil way, what kind of ability is it to besiege a junior youth? I will do the way for heaven today and eradicate the demon!"

The Divine Spell Sect suddenly saw Yang Xi, the Heavenly Master of the Shangqing Dynasty, descending from the sky, and they were all too frightened to make a sound.

Li Hongzuo smiled and said, "Yang Tianshi, don't come unharmed." ”

Yang Xi has always been dissatisfied with the evil deeds of the Divine Spell Sect in the rivers and lakes, and wants to get rid of it quickly, so he ignored Li Hong's greetings.

Li Hong said again: "Didn't Yang Tianshi look for the Heavenly Stone in Wuling Mountain, why did he come to Wuling City again, could it be that he had already obtained the Heavenly Stone and asked the eldest disciple to answer in the city?"

Great Protector Li Tuo interjected: "Qiqi Tianzun, when we arrived at Wuling Mountain, the Shangqing Sect had already taken the lead, and I am afraid that we had already obtained the Heavenly Stone ......."

Yang Xi said disdainfully: "What's the matter, the Heavenly Stone was originally the thing of my Shangqing Patriarch, and it is natural to take back my Sect Saint Physics Institute." ”

"Is it true, Master?" Zhang Ming said happily, he had heard that the Heavenly Stone was forbidden by the Shangqing Sect since he was a child, and it was extremely sacred, but he had never seen the Heavenly Stone, and more than twenty years ago, the Shangqing Sect was looted in the war, and the Heavenly Stone had disappeared.

This time, the Shangqing faction divided into two ways to find Tianshi, Yang Xi went to Wuling Mountain, where it was rumored to reproduce Tianshi, to check the situation, and instructed the eldest disciple Zhang Ming to go to Wuling City to inquire about Tianshi, but in the end he did not obtain Tianshi, Yang Xi looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, don't mention it, the battle of Wuling Mountain is really miserable, I didn't expect so many people to die." ”

Li Hong snorted and scolded: "You old thing, you don't know shame, who in the world doesn't know that I taught the ancestor Tiangong General Zhang Jiao to pick up the stone left by the ancient Nuwa to mend the sky, because of the colorful color, it is called the Wumadhi Heavenly Stone, and the peerless martial arts 'Pingtian Jue' is engraved on the heavenly stone, this is what I teach, but it was taken away by you." ”

Yang Xi said: "The world's people are constantly fighting for the 'Pingtian Jue' in the Heavenly Stone, I sent the patriarch as the leader of the martial arts alliance at that time, in order to stop the dispute, I cast the Liangyi Yin Yang Sword and the Fierce Spirit King Kong Shield, and sealed the Wumadhi Heavenly Stone in the sword and shield, which is listed as a permanent ban, but I don't want to lose the Heavenly Stone in the war." "Yang Xi swore that in his lifetime, he must find the Heavenly Stone and re-seal it to stop the strife in the world, of course, if the Heavenly Stone can be recovered, the Shangqing faction will definitely be able to gain a great reputation and regain the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and hand over the Heavenly Stone!"

Seeing this, all the believers immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Yin and Yang Five Elements, Talisman Mantra!" Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared, forming a large circle with light around Li Hong, and the falling snowflakes immediately turned into gas.

Yang Xi hurriedly blocked in front of Zhang Ming and shouted: "This demon dao wants to cast a divine curse Dafa, Ming'er, you quickly dodge, for the teacher to break this demon array today!"

The young man who had been hit by the amulet was dying, and the young man Zhang Ming said anxiously: "Master, this little brother has been hit by the old demon Dao's amulet in order to save his apprentice, and he is dying, please save him!"

At this time, the divine curse Dafa was about to be triggered, Yang Xi took care of the young man's life, and it was urgent to save people and no longer face the battle, so he had to stand up with Zhang Ming at the same time, use the Shangqing internal cultivation skills, and easily cross the eaves of the inn.

The Divine Spell Sect is mainly based on charms, and his internal strength is lacking, and Li Hong knows that Yang Xi's internal cultivation skills are far above him, so he does not chase after him.

When he arrived at a safe place, Yang Xi put down the Dao Xuan Sword, hurriedly stepped forward to check Shi Ning's injury, checked the young man's pulse, shook his head and said helplessly: "This life-urging talisman is a kind of zodiac talisman, plus the divine spell Dafa enters the human body with the palm method, the person who is in the talisman will be in pain, and if he does not solve the talisman within three days, he will definitely die!"

Zhang Ming hurriedly said, "Master, what should I do then?"

Yang Xi looked in the direction of the Divine Spell Sect and said, "Ming'er, you wait here, I'll go and ask the Divine Spell Sect for an antidote." ”

When Yang Xi returned to the Taoyuan Inn, where was there still the shadow of the God Spell Sect Li Hong and others.

Three men and one woman walked in the distance, and the three men bowed to Yang Xi and said, "Master, it's too late, what's going on here?"

The woman happily threw herself into Yang Xi's arms and said coquettishly: "Daddy, why did you leave without saying a word, and you didn't wait for us, causing me and the three senior brothers to rush desperately!"

It turned out that these three men were the three brothers who were called the "Four Heroes of Jiangdong" along with Zhang Ming, namely Jian Yang, the second-ranked "Light Filmmaker", Cao Long, the third-ranked "Little Mengde", and the fourth-ranked "Ghost Valley Kid" Yuan Cen.

Among the four heroes of Jiangdong, the oldest Zhang Ming is only twenty-six years old, and the youngest Yuan Cen is only nineteen years old, which can be described as a young talent!

The woman was Yang Xi's twelve-year-old youngest daughter Yang Ruo, who was unwilling to stay in the Shangqing faction, and followed her father and senior brothers to Wuling County.

Zhang Ming did this and told the three junior disciples and Yang Ruo what had just happened.

Yang Ruo looked curiously at the young man beside Zhang Ming, the young man looked about fifteen years old, dressed differently from ordinary people, I saw that he was wearing trousers woven from animal hair and animal skin, rough cotton and linen, pheasant feathers and palm bark, his clothes were ragged, and the things on the young man's body were also peculiar: there were all kinds of animal bones and various colors of bird feathers, Yang Ruo couldn't help but giggle: "This child looks exactly like the wild man I saw in Wuling Mountain!"

Zhang Ming said solemnly: "Little junior sister can't talk nonsense, he is a great benefactor who saved me!"

Yang Ruo had no choice but to let out an "oh" and continued to fiddle with the beast bone necklace on Shi Ning's body.

Jian Yang said: "Since this is the case, why don't we bring this child back to the Shangqing faction in Maoshan and let the master take care of him?"

Yang Xi said: "No! Even if you take a boat from Wuling back to Danyang Maoshan Mountain, it will take more than three days to go down the river, and this young man is a talisman of the Divine Spell Sect, and if you don't understand it, you will die within three days!"

Zhang Ming said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

Yang Xi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to Yuzhang Pavilion Soap Mountain first." ”

"To the Lingbao Sect?"

"The Lingbao faction and my Shangqing faction are originally the same sect, and the patriarch of my faction, Wei Huacun, and the patriarch of Lingbao, Ge Hong, have a deep relationship, and they are both decent in Taoism, and the Lingbao faction will not die without help. ”

The river is surging, and thousands of sails go east with the water. Yang Xi and his entourage moved from the land to the river, down the Yangtze River, and arrived in Jiangzhou in less than two days.

Yang Xi and his entourage hurried to Yuzhang County at dusk, the strange peaks of Gesoap Mountain are steep, and there is a Taoist temple standing on the top of the mountain, which is the location of the Lingbao faction.

Yang Xi and others begged to see Ge Chaofu, the head of the Lingbao faction, at the foot of the mountain.

The doorman under the mountain said: "Dao Chief, please wait for a while, I will wait for the report on the mountain." ”

After a while, the doorman followed a blue-robed Taoist down the mountain.

The blue-robed Taoist greeted Yang Xi and the others with a salute: "It turned out to be Yang Tianshi of the Shangqing Dynasty, the doorman doesn't know the Heavenly Master, and he neglects the Heavenly Master, so please Haihan!

Yang Xi also saluted: "It is the basic rule of all factions to report the comers, and it is supposed that Dao Tong should fulfill his duties!"

The group went up the mountain ladder, and Yang Xi said again: "Dare to ask if Ge Tianshi is in the sect now?"

The blue-robed Taoist said: "It's really unfortunate that the head of the Heavenly Master rushed to Jingzhou three days ago to do business. ”

Yang Xi was slightly disappointed, stroked his long beard, and said: "I can't hide it, I came this time to ask Ge Tianshi to save the life of the child in front of me, since Ge Tianshi is not here, then Yang and the others will leave!"

"Could it be that this young man has been hit by a life talisman?" the blue-robed Taoist looked at the dying young man.

"Exactly! It seems that the Taoist is knowledgeable about the world's martial arts!"

The blue-robed Taoist arched his hand and said modestly: "Yang Tianshi loves the younger generation, since this is the case, why don't Yang Tianshi stay in the Lingbao Sect, the head of the Heavenly Master should be able to come back in the next few days." ”

"But today is the third day of the talisman among the young man, and after tonight, if he does not untie the talisman, he will die. ”

"What can I do about this? Couldn't Yang Tianshi even solve the charm?"

Yang Xi shook his head and said: "Yang is incompetent, he went out in a hurry and couldn't carry Jiuqing Dan with him, maybe ......"

Yang Xi stopped and didn't say what he might say, Jiuqing Dan is the golden pill refined by the Shangqing faction, it is the detoxification treasure of the Shangqing faction, and the Lingbao faction also has the detoxification golden pill, that is, the Eight Treasure Pill.

"Yang Tianshi doesn't say it directly, if the younger generation can do it, it will definitely work!"

"Maybe your sect's Eight Treasure Pills can save this young man's life, but the Taoist Golden Pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the quantity is very small, and the existing Golden Pill is collected by the Heavenly Masters of each faction. ”

As soon as he heard the "Eight Treasure Pills", the blue-robed Taoist hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Dare to ask the Heavenly Master, who are you this young man?"

Yang Xi said: "I don't know this young man, but after all, he saved the life of my eldest disciple Zhang Ming." ”

Not a relative, and not a disciple of the Shangqing faction, the blue-robed Taoist carefully looked at the young man in front of him, ragged, unkempt, full of filth, and the young man's breath was weak, like a dead man.

The blue-robed Taoist said: "The Eight Treasure Pill is a detoxification golden pill, which is rare in the world, but this young man's breath is weak, and there is no need for detoxification for the dying person, even if he is fortunate to be detoxified, he is also a waste person, not worth it!"

Zhang Ming said: "The young man is my life-saving benefactor, I can't watch my benefactor die!" He was eager to save people, and his tone was extremely serious.

Yang Xi said: "Ming'er, don't be rude!" and said to the blue-robed Taoist: "Don't blame the Taoist, I'm in a hurry." Patronizing and saving people, haven't you asked for the name of the Taoist chief?"

The blue-robed Taoist said, "Under Gao Xuan." ”

Yang Xi hurriedly returned the salute and said: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Ge Tian, Gao Daochang, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

In the Lingbao faction, Gao Xuan has a high status, and he is the deputy head of the Lingbao faction.

Now that his name has been announced, Gao Xuan had no choice but to say: "If I can save this young man's life, I can go to the Senior Brother Alchemy Hall to get an Eight Treasure Pill......"

Yang Xi interrupted him and said, "Absolutely not! It will not work without Ge Tianshi's consent! Yang can try other methods to see if he can cure the young man." ”

Gao Xuan said: "Senior brother in charge often teaches us to be benevolent and righteous, and now that the young man in front of him has won the life talisman, how can my Lingbao faction not save him when he sees death, I will save him with the Eight Treasure Pill, and the senior brother will definitely not scold me when he comes back!"

"Then there is Lao Gaodao!" Yang Xi also said politely.

It stands to reason that Gao Xuan, as the acting head, is not difficult to take an eight-treasure pill, Gao Xuan asked Yang Xi and others to sit down in the inner hall, let Dao Tong see the tea, and go to the alchemy hall alone to get the eight-treasure pill.

An hour later, Gao Xuan returned to the inner hall and did not take the Eight Treasure Pills, saying that the Eight Treasure Pills were scarce, and the one that was being refined still needed to wait for an hour before it could be baked, so he had to settle down for the time being.

After the sunset sank into the mountain, the peaks of Gesoap Mountain were hazy, and when it was over, Gao Xuan still did not take the Eight Treasure Pills, and the young man had been unconscious for the past two days, not dripping water, and his body was extremely weak, and he occasionally woke up and vomited blood.

"Master, it's not good, this young man can't get through it. ”

Yang Xi sighed: "If someone from my Shangqing faction needs the Eight Treasure Pills, the Lingbao Sect will definitely help them, but this young man is not related to my Shangqing Sect, and he is a dying person, Gao Xuan will not waste the Eight Treasure Pills!"

"But he saved the apprentice after all!"

"Alas, I can only blame him for his bad life. ”

"Master, if you accept him as an apprentice, then he will be a member of the Shangqing faction, and the Lingbao faction will not fail to save the disciples of the Shangqing faction!"

"No, my Shangqing disciples must all be physically strong and of good character. ”

Zhang Ming's head was hot, and he actually came up with the ridiculous idea of letting the master accept the young man as an apprentice, Zhang Ming had no choice but to bring a small bowl of hot tea to see if the young man could drink some of it.

Tired from running all the way, as soon as the time came, Yang Xi and the others went back to their rooms to rest. Zhang Ming was worried about the safety of the young man, so he was always by his side, and he wandered in the room, never able to sleep.

There was a knock on the door.

"Senior brother, it's me!" Zhang Ming opened the door, and it was Yuan Cen who came in.

"Fourth Senior Brother, why are you here. ”

"Shhhh Yuan Cen tiptoed, like a thief. He also said: "Senior brother, I have a plan, I can take the Eight Treasure Pills!"

Zhang Ming was overjoyed and said, "What is the strategy of the fourth junior brother?"

"Second Senior Brother Jian Yang Jianghu is known as the 'Light Movieer', and he can enter the Alchemy Hall to obtain the Eight Treasure Pills! ”

Zhang Ming refused: "This is clearly theft, it is not feasible or not feasible!"

"Senior brother, don't worry, I only have a good way to deal with it when the time comes!"

"You...... Do you really have a plan?"

Yuan Cen smiled: "Senior brother, have you forgotten my nickname Yuan Cen on the rivers and lakes?" The two clasped their hands tightly together and smiled at each other.

"The benefactor is saved!" Zhang Ming looked at the young man who had passed out.
