After coming out of the ancestral hall, Zhang Shaoyang was a little bored in his heart, and did not return to his room, but walked outside again.

After a conversation with Zhang Qingyuan just now, Zhang Shaoyang faintly felt that the Zhang family still had the capital to respond to all calls, and he couldn't think of what kind of heroic division the Zhang family army was back then, but from the few uncles in the family now, it can be seen that those generals who swore allegiance to the Zhang family were definitely all warriors with one enemy and one hundred.

This may be the reason for the worry in the capital, if it is just a Zhang family, how can the royal family pay so much attention?

According to Zhang Qingyuan's meaning, Gao Chengyuan is very likely to be sent by the imperial court to Jiangling to closely monitor the Zhang family, the purpose is to pay attention to what the Zhang family has overstepped, once it is found, it will be accused and sent to the capital, so Zhang Shaoyang can't help but worry that Ning Menghu from Northern Liao will come to Jiangling, will he be discovered, once Gao Chengyuan knows that this person has come to the Zhang family, once the charge of collaborating with the enemy is pressed, it will really be indefensible, and according to the law, it should be beheaded.

Fortunately, seeing his father's calm and relaxed appearance, he should not have been known, Zhang Shaoyang didn't think about it anymore, and unconsciously he walked to the stable, and saw his old buddy Yingge'er horse with shiny fur, and his heart was quite happy, and he took Yingge'er out of the house and ran all the way to the direction of Lantuo Temple outside the city.

About an hour later, Zhang Shaoyang has arrived at the foot of Lantuo Temple Mountain, this time he went up the mountain from the front of the mountain, after all, he has seen the lion forest of the great monk with his own eyes, it is a character who can fight with Master Yao Sanming, how can he have a little awe.

After traveling all the way to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, this time the monk did not come out to greet him, Zhang Shaoyang thought about it, and then remembered that the monk said that he would go to the Beijing Translation Institute to copy the scriptures, and he had been gone for more than half a year.

He couldn't help but sigh, in a hurry, many things have become different from people in a hurry, and they are no longer the past.

Fortunately, he has been to the back mountain where the old monk is located several times, and he is familiar with the road, so he found a path to the back mountain, and soon came to the river, and saw the old monk sitting cross-legged in the stone wall from a distance, motionless like a wooden stake.

When I walked all the way to the water flow, I found that compared to before, the water flow was much larger, and it was obvious that the old monk had made some breakthroughs in the Death Zen, so that his life would not always hang by a thread.

The old monk's eyes were closed, his expression was natural, and the black qi that had been around his face in the past had faded a lot, so that in Zhang Shaoyang's eyes, he only felt that the old monk was not so old, he didn't dare to disturb him, and he found a stone to sit down.

Relying on the holy land of Lantuo Temple here, the mark on the Honghu Sword has lit up a lot as soon as he arrives here, and even the black long sword in his body has awakened, and the Xuan Qi continues to spread, and it is obvious that the aura here is extremely abundant.

Seeing that the old monk had not moved, Zhang Shaoyang simply closed his eyes and meditated, and with the help of the Honghu Sword, he guided a trace of aura in the big lake, allowing it to swim in the meridians in his body.

On weekdays, Zhang Shaoyang also often uses this method of cultivation to warm up the meridians in the body, every time he cultivates, the whole body will emit a soft light, and the momentum can be much greater than that of ordinary martial arts cultivation, this time he also guides a wisp of aura to swim along the meridians, and then return to the aura lake after swimming all over the big and small weeks, and so on many times, you can sweep away the physical and mental exhaustion.

It's just that this time he just walked Zhou Tian twice, and he found that there was something strange in the big lake, the lake water in the big lake was dark blue, and I don't know when there was a pool of light gray lake water in the center, compared with the whole big lake, this gray lake water is not eye-catching, and it is difficult to find it without paying close attention. Zhang Shaoyang was a little surprised and focused his mind on the gray lake, only to find that a small wisp of gray aura was flowing along the black long sword towards the lake, these aura did not merge with the dark blue aura, and seemed to have reopened a small area on the big lake.

Even if Zhang Shaoyang doesn't know the reason for the appearance of these light gray aura, he can guess that it must be inseparable from the Buddhist holy land, he is very curious, and his mind moves to try to guide this wisp of aura, fortunately, although the color is different, it is still relatively easy to control, and it is easy to be led into the meridians.

It's a pity that this wisp of aura is too little, not enough to make those places clearly revealed, he tried several times, and finally used most of these aura and couldn't go further, Zhang Shaoyang was a little distressed, thinking that it was better to forget it, not in a hurry at this time.

After some pranayama, he gradually woke up from his cultivation state, only to find that the old monk didn't know when he had woken up, and was looking at him curiously.

The old monk smiled: "Awake?"

Zhang Shaoyang touched his head embarrassedly: "Well, I just saw that the master was participating in Zen, so I didn't bother." ”

"Hmm... The old man noticed that there was something strange about the Buddha power of the mountain, so he woke up. ”

"Buddha power?" Zhang Shaoyang was a little stunned, thinking to himself, could the so-called Buddha power be the strange spiritual power just now?

The old monk's face was always compassionate: "Yes, Lantuo Temple can flourish here for hundreds of years without decay, it is supported by this Buddha power, when you just cultivated, you carried that sword on your back... Is it helping you absorb the Buddha power of the mountain?"

Zhang Shaoyang nodded: "It seems that the master has seen it, but please don't blame the master, this sword... The juniors can't control it. ”

"Hehehe, Lao Wei won't blame you, the Buddha power is originally Pudu sentient beings, Lao Wei is just curious about this sword, can you take a look at it from Lao Gao?"

Zhang Shaoyang did not hesitate, took off the Honghu sword on his back and handed it to the old monk, the old monk looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything, but felt that the sword was lifeless and featureless.

After returning the sword to Zhang Shaoyang, the old monk spoke: "The old man has heard about Lord Yao's affairs. ”

Zhang Shaoyang said in a low voice: "I am here to tell the master about this matter." ”

The old monk sighed and said: "On that day, the Buddha power of the empty mountain was lost, and the old man knew that the catastrophe in the world was about to rise, but he didn't know who started this disaster?"

"Master, have you ever heard of the Kunlun Immortal Sect?"

The old monk Gu Jing Wubo's face was instantly moved: "Demon Sect?"

"That's right!" Then Zhang Shaoyang told the old monk everything Zhou Jingxian did in Hongzhou, and also mentioned the downhill faction on Kunlun Mountain, and the old monk couldn't help but look a lot more serious after listening to it.

"This Demon Sect really left a lot of hands back then. ”

"Well, the terrible thing is that the Xiashan faction, as the remnant of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, has grown stronger unknowingly, and the whole world doesn't know the relationship between this sect and the Demon Sect, if they also plan to become immortals like Zhou Jingxian, I am afraid that the world will suffer another catastrophe. ”

The old monk shook his head: "This is not the most terrible thing!"

"What does the master mean?"

"Back then, the Demon Sect was besieged by the world, and finally the sect was destroyed, and the Demon Sect's Supreme Treasure Dao Treasure Vase disappeared, so many have never been found, and now most of the sects and factions have forgotten, thinking that this thing has been destroyed along with the Demon Sect in that war. ”

Zhang Shaoyang was puzzled: "Isn't it?"

"Lantuo Temple did not participate in that war back then, but I have heard of this treasure bottle, the bottle contains the elixir refined by the Demon Sect for many years, these elixirs contain huge energy, ordinary people will gain great strength after taking it, but they will also lose their minds because they can't bear the power of the medicine, and become like a beast, if the master of more than five stages takes it, it will be even more terrifying, and the strength will surge suddenly, although it will not lose its mind, but it will also become murderous. ”

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned and said, "Hearing what the master said, I thought of a person. ”

"Your master also told Lao Wei that Xiahou Gongling's original strength was not bad, but it was also because he took a certain pill that his strength jumped to the top of the Eight Gates, and at the same time he became murderous, and it was very likely that he took the pill in the Dao treasure bottle. ”

"Could it be that the Dao Treasure Vase has reappeared in the world?"

The old monk said solemnly: "It is very likely that it is in the hands of the descending mountain faction, if it is true, it will be an extremely terrible thing." ”

As soon as Zhang Shaoyang thought of the consequences of this being true, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, and he said uneasily: "Master, you might as well tell the rivers and lakes about this matter and kill Kunlun again?"

The old monk shook his head: "Don't say that no one believes it, even if someone believes it and is willing to do it again, the Demon Sect must have taken precautions after suffering losses two hundred years ago, otherwise this downhill sect would not be so mysterious, very little news comes out, once they rashly attack the mountain, it will inevitably alarm them, and it will be troublesome at that time." ”

"I'm afraid that they have created a group of puppets who have lost their minds, I have seen Xiahou Gongling lose his mind, his strength is extremely strong, even the master needs to use the strength of the nine doors to kill it. ”

"It's a pity that Lao Qu has not yet understood this Zen, and he can't leave here, otherwise he can go to Kunlun Mountain for a trip. The old monk sighed.

"As soon as the year passes, the juniors will go to Kunlun Mountain to explore the situation first, and if you are lucky, you can find out some news!"

The old monk was stunned: "You want to go to Kunlun Mountain?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Shaoyang replied resolutely.

"Your strength is still weak, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to go to Kunlun Mountain. ”

Zhang Shaoyang smiled and said: "I am still self-aware of my strength, but who called me an apprentice of the Sword Immortal, if I don't go, the old man will look down on me." ”

The old monk wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhang Shaoyang's fearless look, he recalled that when he met Yao Sanming when he was young, he was also like this, and the two masters and apprentices were really a little similar.

Zhang Shaoyang stood up from the stone, patted the dust on his body, and said respectfully: "The juniors won't bother the master, the monk is not here, and the next time the juniors leave, they won't come to say goodbye to the master." ”

The old monk nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Zhang Shaoyang turned to leave, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, stopped again, turned around with a smile and said: "By the way, the jade Buddha that the master gave me, I gave it to a friend, and I ask the master not to blame." ”

The old monk waved his hand disapprerovingly, and Zhang Shaoyang raised his steps again, went down the mountain leisurely, and whispered to himself: "I don't know how Xi Yatou is doing, I miss her!"

(When the morning horn sounded, my heart followed for three minutes, and I deeply felt the greatness of our country and the powerful power of all Chinese people united.
