Xiao Jinyan is not stupid, nor is he blind. The descent lasted only a short distance before he stepped on the ground. When he looked up again, he found that he was in a hollow valley, with birds singing and flowers, grass and trees, and a few acres of rice fields and vegetable fields.

There is a thatched hut in the center, and a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi sits in the courtyard, holding an ancient book, reading very comfortably. The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi looks to be in his twenties, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are full of vicissitudes, and I don't know how many years have passed.

On the pillar outside the hut, a scalper is tethered, lying on the ground and napping, using its tail to drive away annoying mosquitoes.

In the courtyard, there are two wells. A mouthful of water from the Cen Cen spring flows into a pond that irrigates rice paddies and vegetable fields. Another smoke billowed from above, leading straight to the fire cave, where hot magma flowed slowly at the bottom of the well.

This is not a dungeon, but a space created by Wang Banxian with the power of separation from fire and is independent of heaven and earth.

This is another dungeon, Wang Banxian painted the ground as a dungeon, trapping this Tsing Yi Taoist priest in this space for twenty years.

Xiao Jinyan had entered the space of Wang Banxian, and he had also experienced the space of Sun Wuxian, but their space was formed in their own realm, and it did not last long, like the energy source of this space and the center of the earth, so it only lasted for twenty years.

Xiao Jinyan came to the courtyard and came to the Taoist priest, "Senior, you asked me to come?"

The Taoist priest closed the ancient scroll in his hand and shook his head, "No, it was Wang Banxian who asked you to come." He said before that he would send someone over to accompany me. ”

Xiao Jinyan said: "He didn't ask me to accompany you, he asked me to come over and kill you." ”

The young Taoist priest smiled slightly, "That little guy is talking very interestingly, but he has to listen to his words in reverse." ”

Xiao Jinyanqi said, "Listen to it the other way, what does the senior mean, he asked me to save you?"

"Nope. It's for me to kill you. ”

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "Sorry to disturb, I suddenly remembered that I asked Zhang Cripple to go for a run, so I took a step first!" With that, Xiao Jinyan ran out of the courtyard and ran into the distance.

After running for a long time, he found that he had gone back to this courtyard, Xiao Jinyan was surprised, and ran in a different direction, but returned to the thatched hut.

The young Taoist priest looked at him with interest, "Why don't you run away?"

Xiao Jinyan was disheartened, and sat down on the ground with a big grin, "You know that I can't run away, don't you watch the excitement here?"

The Taoist priest ignored him and lowered his head to read the book.

Xiao Jinyan began to greet Wang Banxian's ancestor, "Your grandmother has a leg, Wang Banxian, Death Stick, didn't you ask me to come over to find the Mountains and Rivers Luck Map, how could I meet this old monster." Didn't you say that killing this Taoist priest can save the world?"

That's right, kill him.

Xiao Jinyan's heart moved, and he quietly came to the Taoist priest, preparing to use the internal force, but found that there was no internal force fluctuation in this space at all. He ignored it, shook his fist, and rushed towards the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest looked up, but did not move.

Xiao Jinyan's whole person passed through the Taoist priest's body, as if passing through a piece of nothingness. He barely believed his eyes, "What's going on? Are you a human or a ghost?"

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, "Of course I am a human, but what you see me is just a phantom of me in the space you are in." ”

Xiao Jinyan said let's not joke, what do you want, just say it, my little heart can't bear it.

The young Taoist priest said lightly, "It's okay, just get used to it." You'll be staying here with me for quite some time to come, and if you have nothing to do, you'll go outside and weed the rice fields. ”

Xiao Jinyan almost jumped up, "Quite long?"

"Ten years, twenty years, won't be too long, because this space has been sold to Shujian Mountain by Sun Qiangu. ”

"I don't have that much time to spend with you, there's a lot going on outside. ”

The Taoist priest said lightly: "I'm afraid I can't help you." ”

Xiao Jinyan was on the verge of collapse, what kind of bullshit place this was, he had tried countless ways to escape from here, and no matter what, he would eventually return to this hut. He jumped like thunder, smashed the thatched hut to pieces, and went outside to make a mess of the rice fields and vegetable fields, and the Taoist priest was not angry, as long as Xiao Jinyan didn't look for him, he just lowered his head and read.

Xiao Jinyan was exhausted and lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

When I woke up, everything was back to normal, the huts were still there, the rice paddies were still there, and even the vegetable patches were the same as when they first arrived.

He was trapped in this space.

There is no sun and moon in the valley, but there are days and nights, Xiao Jinyan is tired and finds a random place to sleep, hungry There is endless rice in the thatched hut, and I don't know how long it took, the whole person is described as haggard, and his beard has grown more than half a foot long.

Rice flowers bloom, rice flowers are grateful, and rice is yellow.

The Taoist priest sat there reading every day, and no matter how Xiao Jinyan scolded him, he was indifferent.

Xiao Jinyan thought of suicide, he hit the wall, cut his wrists, and jumped into the fire well, but to no avail, as long as he woke up, everything was as usual.

Xiao Jinyan suddenly thought that since Shujian Mountain knew this place, he should feel it quickly, his string power could be detected by the pair of eyes on Shujian Mountain, so he would lure the sword cultivation of Shujian Mountain over and let him break this space.

As he said and did, he used the string force, which, according to past experience, can transcend space and resonate with heaven and earth. To his disappointment, his strings could sense outside of space, but they could only sense them, and they couldn't cause them to move.

Xiao Jinyan was finally exhausted, he knelt in front of the Taoist priest, "Please do well, let me out." ”

The Taoist priest smiled, "All the past is a floating cloud." This is just to give you a taste of the sun and moon in the mountains, and you can't help it?"

Xiao Jinyan said that I am riddled with mundane things, I still have friends, I still have senior brothers, and I have the world in my heart, and this kind of day fades out of the bird.

The Taoist priest said, "Anyway, it's okay to be idle, you can practice?"

Xiao Jinyanxin is also right, there is no internal force, no string force, and he is familiar with a set of unrivaled fist techniques and nameless knife techniques every day, and even creates a lot of moves by himself.

Rice flower fragrance, rice flower Xie, rice yellow.

On this day, after Xiao Jinyan finished practicing, he suddenly felt that in this bullshit place, even if I practiced to be the first in the world, I couldn't get out, and there was a fart?

"Stinky old man, I don't want to live anymore. ”

The Taoist priest nodded, "You can die." ”

"I tried, but I couldn't die. Why don't you kill me? Or......" Xiao Jinyan said tentatively, "Hengzhi is fine, why don't you tell me how you have survived all these years?"

"Read a book. ”

"Then lend me your book. ”

"You really want to see it?"

Xiao Jinyan said that I hate reading the most, but I really can't find a way to play time.

The Taoist priest laughed and threw the ancient scroll in his hand, Xiao Jinyan took the ancient book, only felt that the book had no weight, opened it and looked, there was no text in the scroll, only some dense dots.

The color of each point is different, there are red, yellow, and green, of which green is the majority, yellow is secondary, and red is very rare, only dozens. These little dots, like the stars in the night sky, flickered slightly, changing little.

"What is this?" asked Xiao Jinyan.

The Taoist priest replied: "Mountains and rivers luck map." ”

Xiao Jinyan suddenly said, "This is the mountain and river luck map that is claimed to be able to draw the world's martial artists? Wang Banxian said that every person who practices martial arts, when his martial arts reach a certain level, can sense the heaven and earth qi, and can also be sensed by the heaven and earth qi, that is to say, every martial artist in the world will project this ancient scroll?"

The Taoist priest smiled, "Not everyone, in today's parlance, martial arts practitioners can be displayed in the scrolls when they reach the realm of knowing the mysteries." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jinyan found that there was an inexplicable green dot on the scroll, and he was surprised, "Has someone broken through the Zhixuan Realm?"

"Not bad. The Taoist priest explained, "There is always a certain number of luck in the world, everyone from birth to death, will be contaminated with a fortune of the world, more or less, all these years I have stayed here, it is to protect this mountain and river luck map." ”

Xiao Jinyan was like discovering a new continent, and a hope was ignited in his heart, if he could understand this ancient book, maybe he would be able to go out.

"The green dot is the realm of knowledge, the yellow dot is the realm of the general image, what about the red dot, is it out of the three realms?

The Taoist priest was quite patient and said, "Yes, yes, but not much." These people are hiding in heaven and earth, just to avoid the pursuit of the supreme heavenly dao on Shujian Mountain. ”

"Why did the Supreme Heavenly Dao hunt them down?"

"Five hundred years ago, the aura of heaven and earth was revived, the princes of the world were numerous, the seventy-two countries were in turmoil, and there were many great masters outside the three realms like carp crossing the river, maintaining the world in a wonderful balance. Among them, the most sensational in the world is the battle of the top ten grandmasters, the top ten grandmasters absorb the luck of heaven and earth, each create space, that battle is related to the life and death of the world, just when the victory or defeat will be divided, the vision of heaven and earth, attracting the way of heaven to the world. ”

Xiao Jinyan remembered the story of the frog at the bottom of the well that the golden knife Li Qiuyi told him when he was in Suzhou City, and relayed this story to the Taoist priest, and said, "Then the Heavenly Dao is not allowed to destroy the existence of the Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly Dao, so in that battle, the Great Grandmaster is extinct in the world?"

This statement is not entirely true, but it is almost true. The Taoist priest said lightly, "Actually, the Heavenly Dao on Shujian Mountain is gradually dying. He hunted down the Great Grandmaster because he found that after the world's martial arts jumped out of the Three Realms, his cultivation was the spiritual power of heaven and earth that was gathered, which was a panacea for restoring his cultivation. After the Great War, some great masters hid in the world, evading the pursuit of Shujian Mountain, and became the legendary mysterious sect on the rivers and lakes, and this map of the mountains and rivers is a record of their hiding place. ”

Two pavilions, three sects, four gates, these mysterious and unknowable places on the rivers and lakes are the hiding places of those great masters, and there are these legends on the rivers and lakes, but no one has ever encountered them.

"At first, the one on Shujian Mountain was very secretive, but when more and more great masters disappeared on the rivers and lakes, it aroused everyone's vigilance, until the sword keeper Lu Xuanji revealed the truth, defected to Shujian Mountain, and stole the red essence Xuantie, cast into three divine weapons, and hid seventy percent of the world's luck, so as to avoid a catastrophe in the world. ”

Xiao Jinyan wondered, "Since it is where the Heavenly Dao is, how can he pull the entire world into a realm of no return in order to restore his cultivation?"

The Taoist priest said coldly, "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless, and all things are regarded as dogs, and the cultivators in the human world are just ants in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, as you just said, you are a hunter, and you still care about the life and death of the frogs in the well?"

"So what should I do?"

"Either endure or hide, you can't let the conspiracy of Shujian Mountain succeed, otherwise the world will be in danger. Fortunately, there are still people in the world who care about the common people such as Wang Banxian and Dean Li, otherwise, the world would have ceased to exist. Now, Sun Qiangu, the traitor, sold this place to Shujian Mountain in exchange for a body of cultivation, and there will inevitably be a big war between the world and Shujian Mountain. ”

Xiao Jinyan fell into contemplation, he looked at this map of mountains and rivers, this map recorded the information of every martial artist in the world, if it really fell into the hands of Shujian Mountain, when they followed the map, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Curiosity arose, he looked at the mountains and rivers luck map, everyone who knew the Xuan Realm was on Shujian Mountain, and Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang were also on it, he flipped through the ancient scrolls to find a clue from them.

The Taoist priest seemed to guess his thoughts, and said, "Your two friends are destined to be extraordinary people. He pointed to two green dots, these two green dots were faintly glowing yellow, obviously a sign that he was about to break through the Realm of Knowing Mystery and enter the Vision.

"What about me?" Xiao Jinyan asked.

The Taoist priest smiled, "It is precisely because you can't be found in this ancient book that Wang Banxian believes that if the world fights with Shujian Mountain, you will be a variable in this war." Like, Dan Qingsheng didn't draw your fortune back then. ”

"But I can't see anything but the dense dots. ”

"That's because you don't have enough realm, but you have read through this map of mountains and rivers. This is not a human script, the human script, it is all linear, and this kind of writing is a kind of ideogram. I'm only three or four times out of ten. ”

Xiao Jinyan only felt that he had entered a novel world, "Ideograms, what are they?"

This is a bit tricky to explain. ”

The Taoist priest pointed to the old ox at the door and said, "Let me give you an analogy, our text to describe this cow will describe its appearance, form, habits, what it eats, what it does, how it used to be, and how it is now." But if you use ideograms, these don't need to be described, just a symbol, and you can represent all the information of the cow, remember, all the information, including the past life, this life, the next life, and even everything! ”

"But at this point, you can't record so much information. ”

"That's in our world, and it can only present so much information. To decipher this information, a higher dimension is needed. The Taoist priest patiently explained to Xiao Jinyan, "Let's put it this way, a point is a zero dimension, a line is a one-dimensional, a surface is a two-dimensional, and our world is three-dimensional. The dots on this ancient book are records of higher dimensions, and we can't see through them, just because no one can't see through them. ”

Xiao Jinyan was extremely shocked in his heart, "You mean to say that the Supreme Heavenly Dao on Shujian Mountain is a higher-dimensional existence?"

The Taoist priest said worriedly, "It used to be, and now it is 'dying', otherwise it would not have come to the world and become that supreme mountain." If he had been before, he would have destroyed the world as easily as an elephant trampling an ant to death. It's a doomed war, but we ants aren't going to sit still, are we?"

Xiao Jinyan thought for a long time and said, "No, he should have weaknesses. It's just that we haven't found out yet. ”

Hearing this, the Taoist priest smiled, "If you can think like this, it is a correct choice for Wang Banxian to send you over." I thought that when you heard this, you would be scared to the bottom of the ball. ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "If you tell me this on the day I first came, I would definitely go crazy, I have seen so many things these days, and I am not surprised, I am not surprised if you say that you are the Supreme Heavenly Dao." ”

Today's conversation with the Taoist priest subverted Xiao Jinyan's perception of the world. Over the years, Dean Li has taken good care of him, accepted apprentices on behalf of his teachers, and taught art on behalf of teachers, although his road to the rivers and lakes has not been smooth, but he has not encountered too many disasters. As for the matter of Shujian Mountain, Li Chuntie never mentioned it to him, and he didn't even have too many requirements for him, the only thing he told him was that when his realm cultivation was insufficient, he must not expose the fact that he could sense the string power of heaven and earth.

Since he was fifteen years old, he has traveled all over the world, traveled the rivers and lakes, met many people, made many friends, and even met Wang Banxian, a strange man in the rivers and lakes. Over the years, in addition to Li Chuntie, Wang Banxian is the elder who has helped him the most, but this guy has no shape all day long, and today from the mouth of the young Taoist, he knew that Wang Banxian was not as he imagined, but like Li Chuntie, he had the world in mind. This incident touched him a lot, and made him unconsciously look up to these two people in his heart.

Xiao Jinyan looked down at the scroll in his hand, and didn't see any clues, turned to the last page, and in the blank, a small black dot was very eye-catching.

He raised his head, pointed to this small dot, and asked, "The other dots are all flickering slightly, they are all dynamic cultivators, but this black dot is in the middle of the scroll, not moving, not flashing, is it the Supreme Heavenly Dao?"

The Taoist priest said embarrassedly, "That, actually, is my boogers." ”

Xiao Jinyan was speechless, "Senior, can we be a little serious?" In this way, I have been with you here for these days, I'm afraid my friends are also in a hurry, and it won't help for me to stay here, let's discuss, why don't you let me out, maybe I can find a way to fight against Shujian Mountain?"

The Taoist priest sighed, "I've been trapped here for twenty years, and if I had a way, would I still die here and refuse to go out......?" If you want to get out, you can think of a way from here. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "How long will it take?"

"Well, ten or twenty years at most. ”

Xiao Jinyan said that I couldn't afford to wait for 20 days.

Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered that when he attacked the Taoist priest that day, he passed directly through the Taoist priest's body, and his eyes suddenly lit up, that is, he was not in this space at all, and this space did not trap him at all, but trapped himself.

What is out of the fire hole, what thatched hut, what Taoist priest, is just a trick, not space at all, because his string force can penetrate space, and the reason why he does not sense the outside world is that there is only one possibility.

Time stopped.

Thinking of this, he suddenly brightened up and said to the Taoist priest: "I understand, Zhang Daochang, Zhang Zhang Benchu, Mr. Zhang!"

The Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, and laughed.

"Can you guess that?"

At this moment, the figure flashed, and another person came in the space.

A swordsman.

Mai is a thin swordsman.

The Taoist priest looked at the visitor, "You're finally here." ”
