Longyuan Valley was shocked, and the Hongmeng Realm suddenly fell quiet.

Forces large and small on all sides are doing one thing together - recruiting troops and preparing for war openly.

As for who and when the war will be waged, no one knows.

In other words, Dugu Hexuan returned to Wolong Valley, received an order from the head of the sect, and did the same thing. However, the matter of preparing for war, in short, is to fight for connections and resources, and there is no skill to speak of. Therefore, Dugu Hexuan assigned this matter, and Ji Ning, Lin Dong, Zhang Fan, and Qin Guan were responsible for internal affairs, and Meng Hao, Liu Ming, Han Li, and Mu Sheng were responsible for foreign affairs.

During the days of confinement, the daily life of cultivation, alchemy, and cultivation of spiritual materials was infinitely looping, simple, boring, and helpless. Whether it is Taoguang or self-cultivation, Dugu Hexuan insists on repeating it day by day, doing his own things in an orderly manner.

Time flies, time flies.

Time passes, and years precipitate.

The hands of the epoch of time point to 129,598 years.

On this day, at the time of Chen, the stone door in Wolong Valley slowly opened, and a young man walked out, eight feet long, with a bright demeanor, a purple crown and bundled hair, thick eyebrows, a nose like a gall, and a heroic and righteous body. He is the eighteen-year-old Dugu Hexuan.

Dugu Hexuan looked up at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds, the green mountains are still the same, only the face of people has changed.

At this moment, the ten sword rays landed, and the mangs disappeared, and it was Wang Lin and the others who came. All of them are young and high-spirited.

"There's news over there?"

"No!" Wang Lin replied, "However, according to reliable sources, the forces of all parties are unwilling to continue to wait. The Tongtian Sword Sect said that it would enter the gate of the earth on the fifth day of May. ”

In three years, a lot has happened. Only half a year ago, Zuzhou Kuafu Mountain suddenly sank into the ground, and the opening of a gate to the ground was the most sensational. However, the Terrans chose to wait and see, and there were no forces even deliberately guarding it, which stemmed from strong self-confidence. A kind of confidence to rule the world.

Ji Ning said: "Senior brother, now our strength is composed, and there are seventy-two senior brothers in our own sect, including ten of us. Senior Brother Meng Hao and others recruited a total of 28 people from outside. ”

Dugu Hexuan smiled faintly and said, "That's so much! This is completely beyond my expectations!"

Wang Lin's face sank, and he said, "Among the twelve veins, the one with the smallest number of people is Dao Xingfeng, and there are nearly six hundred people. What's more, the other team, except for the Jin Dan Elder who is personally in charge, even if they are among their peers, they also have the disciples of the True Yuan Realm as the absolute main force. Of our more than 100 people, only eleven of us are from the True Yuan Realm. ”

Meng Hao pursed his lips, with a look of suffering, and said, "Senior brother, yesterday there were six people who had no foundation in Taoism. They claimed that the 'Xinghe' of the Cihang Peak of the Origin Sword Sect was their eldest brother. ”

Dugu Hexuan let out an "oh", then laughed loudly, and said, "Miracles are always created by the weak!"

As he spoke, he took out nine pill bottles and instructed Wang Lin: "Sect master brothers, each of the nine spirit pills has one piece, and the person who compiled it will only give these three." In addition, Senior Brother Meng, remove the qualification restrictions, and those who are willing to join us will not refuse. ”

Meng Hao was speechless: "What about disability?"

"Treat everyone equally!"

Shen Shi saw that the important matter was finished, and then he spoke: "Senior brother, the talisman you ordered to refine has exceeded three times as expected. You see, whether you want to continue. ”

"It seems that Senior Brother Shen's path has made great progress, congratulations!" Dugu Hexuan said with a smile, "Now, there is no need to talk about the plan, we have to go all out." ”

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "It turns out that Senior Brother's confinement period has arrived. We forgot about it. ”

Dugu Hexuan nodded slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Han, Senior Brother Mu, the four of you will stay for a while." Several other juniors and disciples have worked hard. ”

"Senior brother, have you really decided not to refuse to come?" Meng Hao asked worriedly before leaving.

Dugu Hexuan said loudly: "When the world and the wind and clouds meet, don't stick to one pattern to reduce talents!" After Ji Ning and the others left, as soon as Zhang Fan and the four of them finished assigning tasks, another sword suddenly came.

Dugu Hexuan glanced at the person who came and motioned for the four of them to go first.

It was a beautiful girl, and after seeing Zhang Fan and the others leaving, she went straight to the point and said: "The ancestor has an order, at noon today, all the disciples of Cihang Peak will go to the Cihang Hall to discuss matters." ”

Today is Master's last day of confinement. Dugu Hexuan sighed and said, "Please return to the Zen Extermination Master and Ancestor, the disciple of the Buddhist Academy, Xinghe, is a guilty body and cannot go." ”

"Hmph! Sure enough, Senior Brother Chong expected it!" The girl's clever eyes flickered, her head shook, and she said, "Actually, it's tomorrow noon." However, senior brother, they call you a thief, but how do I look at it, why are you so masculine and handsome?"

"That's because you've been with a sissy for too long!"

"You...... Big and small thieves...... It's annoying!"

The beautiful girl angrily departed, drawing a wonderful light in the air.

"Baa~" The big gray sheep in the distance shook the bright and beautiful wool and walked towards Dugu Hexuan.

"Big Ash, the good days are coming to an end!"

Dugu Hexuan walked towards the spiritual field, followed by a large and fat gray sheep. The grey sheep occasionally stopped and looked up at the sky, his eyes radiating a cold and gray glow. The light of the sun meets the rays of the sun, and a vertical pupil is faintly formed between the foreheads, which seems to be eclipsing.

Cihang Peak.

The temple is always so calm and silent. It's just a forgotten corner of the red dust.

Dugu Hexuan respectfully offered the fragrance and worshiped sincerely. In the dark, it seems that he can feel the eyes of the master and the ancestor looking at him.

Walking out of the Buddhist temple, concentrating on the green bamboo forest, the five flavors are mixed. Is it emotion, melancholy, or helplessness?

The iron cable in front of you, connecting the Buddhist temple and the Taoist temple, its meaning is still better than the "Nai He Bridge". Looking back on the past, did Patriarch Cihang also encounter some difficult knots before he put down this far-reaching iron cable?

The abyss is secluded, and the wind is quiet.

Walk slowly on the ferrata, trace the footsteps of your predecessors, and find your own spiritual home. Life in the world should not be just for fame and fortune. But in the final destination, how many people can surpass themselves?

"Sitting is also Zen, walking is also Zen. A flower is a world, a leaf is the same. The flowers come from green in spring, and the leaves drift away from autumn to autumn. Infinite like the heart is at ease, silent and still, natural body. ”

"Life is made by oneself, and each other is born from the heart. Everything in the world is an incarnation. If the heart does not move, everything does not move, and if the heart does not change, everything does not change. ”

The Sanskrit sound shook my heart, like a person talking to myself, like talking to myself. At that moment, Dugu Hexuan's heart shook violently, and gradually formed a heart-shaped aperture. He pressed his mouth gently, as if hearing the whispers of flowers and trees.

Suddenly looking up, it was the end of the iron rope.

In the fence door directly opposite the iron cable, only a long bald broom remained, which was slowly being dragged into the door.

After hesitating, I saw the fence door slowly close. It was surprisingly calm here

。 It is a kind of artistic conception of "full of empty flowers and an illusory".

Dugu Hexuan stood three steps away from the fence door, wild grass, thatched huts, this is all in the door. After a long time, he just shook his head slightly and left silently. When he looked at the place on the side of the temple, he suddenly felt that the mountains were overgrown with wild grasses, and the road under his feet was full of dead branches and leaves. Like a walking corpse, he staggered along.

"It's coming!"

Dugu Hexuan was suddenly frightened, waking up from a big dream, and following the prestige, he saw Yutai Chong standing three feet away, looking at himself. The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent. After the transformation from youth to youth, everyone has experienced changes from the inside out, and the original hostility no longer exists, but the barrier has become thicker and thicker.

So far, the identity and status of the two are actually getting more and more different. One is a four-star talent at the sevenfold peak of the True Yuan Realm, and the other is a heavenless talent at the threefold peak of the True Yuan Realm. Perhaps, what was once possible has become completely impossible.

Yutai Chong said: "What the ancestor means, I hope you don't deliberately split the Cihang line. In any case, there is always a place on Cihang Peak that is yours. ”

Dugu Hexuan said: "I have that ability? Uncle Shi is really too careful." ”

"Let's go!" said calmly, "Today, except for Master Zijing, all the people in the lineage are here. The five ancestors wanted to meet their grandchildren. ”

"Oh!"

The two walked side by side, through the corridor, into the solemn and sacred Cihang Hall. The main hall is enshrined on the jade statue of Cihang Shizu, but it is a ** image holding a fairy sword, and a sword is placed on the platform under his feet, which is simple and unpretentious. On both sides of the offering table sat five uncles and ancestors with faces like immortals, standing in different generations.

Dugu Hexuan respectfully bowed to the jade statue, and then met the five uncles.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn, and a clear heartbeat could be heard in the main hall. Dugu Hexuan could probably guess that there should be something important to announce in public. But what did all these things have to do with him? He was preoccupied with the fence gate!

The Great True Soul of Zen Annihilation was the first to speak: "At present, the galaxy is indeed not suitable. Four junior sisters, what do you think?"

Zen Jue, Zen Li, and Zen Fool were silent.

Chan Yao Dazhen is humane: "Today's Cihang Peak only has two veins: the senior sister and the second senior sister. With the contribution of the senior sister to the sect, she has to give an explanation to her under Jiuquan. Taking a step back, in terms of contribution to the sect, there are a few elders who can stabilize the galaxy. ”

"Uncle Shi's words are wrong!" Elder Zixuan said in a deep voice, "Dugu Hexuan is insidious and vicious, and he has cultivated foreign Dao methods, how can he take on the responsibility of his own lineage?"

Elder Aster echoed, "What the second senior sister said is very true. At the behest of his brother, it is already a great tolerance not to investigate his collusion with the Demon Sect. If he is allowed to take on the heavy responsibility, will Cihang be self-isolated. ”

The Great True Scholar of Zen Annihilation was serious, glanced at the two beloved disciples, and with a sense of reproach, he said: "Third Senior Sister, you are the most calm among the six of us, tell me your opinions and ideas." ”

Zen Jue Dazhen said euphemistically: "Second Senior Sister, your opinion is my opinion. In short, everyone is for the long-term plan of the lineage. ”

Zen Li Dazhen said directly: "If you talk about talent, Xinghe is a well-deserved first. When others accuse Xinghe of being insidious and vicious, what are they doing behind their backs? Accusing Xinghe of colluding with the Demon Sect, who can stand up and testify? I have no opinion on denying Xinghe, but don't rely on nothing. ”

Zen Fool Dazhen chose to remain silent.

Zen annihilation of the great humanity: "Xinghe, tell me what you think." ”

"Like, the sword that stabbed out of the darkness?"
