Thunder State, Thunder Valley.

In the world of Fang Jin, there are many gate valves, among which the ten gates are used as pillars, firmly occupying the land of Kyushu, and the various Taoist laws compete for the glory, composing a brilliant chapter for the three thousand years of the avenue.

Thunder Valley, one of the ten major sects in Kyushu, is full of incense and has a long history, more than 1,000 years ago. The disciples are even more talented, and they are the great factions of the world, which is enough to see the essence of this sect.

However, the reputation and strength of Thunder Valley are second only to the three leaders of the righteous path, ranking fourth. The head of the sect, Master Qingjun, has worked hard for many years to lead the sect to a higher peak, and after several years, Thunder Valley has not been able to go up or down, and has always maintained the title of fourth place.

For this reason, the Venerable Master Qingjun also felt deeply helpless.

Thunder Valley is located in Leizhou near Youzhou, from a narrow rift valley between two sword-like peaks, only to see a faint light flashing from the mouth of the rift, it looks a little mysterious.

After entering, there is a great rift valley, which is rumored to have been formed after a long time of crustal change that split the mountains here in ancient times. Just look around, surrounded by the peaks that rush straight into the sky, on both sides of the Great Rift Valley, there are thousands of cliffs, and there is no way to go. When I went deeper, I saw that the mountain was gradually slowing down, and there was a green primeval forest, hazy and deep.

In the rift, there are many tall houses or altars made of huge stones, which look ancient and rustic, with clear layouts and orientations, and are roughly built in a five-element pattern.

In the middle of the cliff stands a majestic hall, the tallest building in the entire Great Rift Valley, and the dark gray hue makes the whole temple stand proudly.

At this time, there were many uniformly dressed people in the whole field, they were either standing guards, or walking back and forth, in rows and in an orderly manner.

This Great Rift Valley is the Thunder Valley's Gate Station.

In the sky above the Thunder Valley, there are gloomy clouds, the blue sky is difficult to open, and from time to time I hear a muffled thunder roaring and echoing in the valley, which is very strange.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the Valley of Thunder was originally a desolate valley, and in this valley there were several monks living in seclusion. One day, a demon beast attacked, and several monks rose up to fight the demon beast. In the end, due to the strong demon power of the demon beasts, several cultivators were defeated and retreated, and it was difficult to resist.

At this moment, I saw dark clouds in the sky, a thunderclap sounded, and a strong lightning bolt shot down from the sky, which had the power to destroy the world and destroy the world.

Several monks looked up to the sky, only to see a huge figure appear in the dark clouds, with a strange appearance, covered with lightning, and it was "sizzling" sound.

When the monks saw this, they all bowed and worshipped, thinking that it was the god of thunder. After that, they named this place Thunder Valley, with Thunder God as the patron, and founded a sect here to create a Thunder Valley Gate.

Speaking of this thunder god, according to the ancient book "Gods and Monsters" recorded: in the North Sea, there is a scale insect, for thousands of years, the avenue is cultivated, it turns into a dragon body, people, also has great power, good at thunder and lightning, so it is the god of thunder, is one of the ancient gods.

The temple of the extended sacrifice, the inner hall.

In a large stone room, the layout is simple, giving people a sense of emptiness and a bit of mystery. I saw a cold light scattered from the stone wall, and there was a faint fog drifting. There are several large stone pillars on top of the four sides, which are carved in relief, some vague, roughly in the shape of clouds and mist, tumbling and tumbling.

In the center of the stone chamber is a large disc stone platform, and around the stone platform are placed eight stone lamps, which are not burning fire, but a solid like ice crystals, shining, and slowly turning.

In the center of the stone platform, a sturdy man sits cross-legged, looking rough and thick. He had a red head, and the two white strands on the top of his head were tilted upwards like eyebrows, which was very strange. Under the thick black eyebrows, a pair of eyes were slightly closed, and the area around his eye sockets was jet black, and he looked relatively poor. This person is not anyone, it is the head of Thunder Valley.

I saw several lightning bolts appear around him, and the cold light shot and sizzled, enveloping him whole person

Middle. He pinched his hands and moved, and a red light appeared on his chest, like a burning flame, strange and extraordinary.

Looking at this situation, the Venerable Master Qingjun was cultivating a kind of Qimen Technique, and if he thought that he was in the palm of his faction, he was afraid that his cultivation would already be superb. It turned out that he was practicing the supreme exercise of Thunder Valley, called "Burning Qi Thunder Book".

This Burning Qi Thunder Book, since the early days of the Thunder Valley faction, after the specialized research and enlightenment of several ancestors, with the combination of the cultivation methods of various families, it is huge, unfathomable, and has the power to shake the mountains and rivers.

There are a total of four levels of this exercise, each of which is from shallow to deep, layered on top of each other, and its power is different. They are: the Earth Burning Section, the Huangqi Section, the Thunder Section, and the Tianshu Section.

It is said that this exercise, the highest Heavenly Book Section, only one of the Founding Patriarchs of the Thunder Valley has successfully cultivated, and among the disciples of later generations, the cultivation is all between the Huangqi Section, and the highest cultivation of the head of the sect can reach the Thunder Stage.

It is not difficult to guess that Master Qingjun, who was cultivating at this time, had already reached the Thunder Stage, and now he was about to break through to the Heavenly Book Stage.

At this moment, after some cultivation, Master Qing Jun only felt that the air flow inside was chaotic and turbulent, impacting the major acupoints of his body, and it was difficult to control it. Just look at the top of his head, green smoke and white fog came out, and his whole body trembled.

Suddenly, on the disc stone platform, a circle of aura exploded, and a deafening loud bang sounded in the stone chamber, as if the stone chamber was about to collapse.

With a "wow" sound, a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, and his body fell to the side, he quickly stretched out his hand against the stone platform, barely supporting it, seeing that his body was weak, it seemed that he had suffered a lot of damage this time.

"Senior Brother ...... Head"

Behind him, the voices of two people suddenly came, both worried about the Venerable Master's injury.

The Venerable Master Qing Jun turned his back to the two of them, only to see his right hand rising upward, swinging slightly, and said, "The old man is fine, don't worry, just breathe......

After a while, the two men behind him walked up the stone steps, came to the stone platform, and stood in front of the Venerable Master, and only then did they see their faces clearly.

I saw that the two of them, of medium stature, were wearing the unique costumes of Thunder Valley, and their bodies were thin, and there was not much difference. But somehow, both of them had a cold look in their eyes, and they were not well-intentioned.

These two people are not anyone, it is Lu Ying, the master of the Red Feather Altar in Thunder Valley, and Hong Kui, the master of the Purple Electric Altar, their cultivation is second only to Master Qingjun, and both of them are important figures in the sect.

That Lu Ying opened his mouth and said: "Today, I see that the senior brother in charge, his cultivation is a little rushed, if he is too eager, I am afraid that it will backfire, and I hope that the senior brother will take care of his body!"

"Yes! Senior Brother Lu is right, Senior Brother in charge should pay attention to rest. Hong Kui smiled and said as well.

Master Qingjun nodded slightly, and he smiled: "The kindness of the two junior brothers, the old man understands it, and my body can still eat." ”

After a while, Master Qingjun stood up and walked down the stone platform with Lu Ying and Hong Kui, and came to another side room.

After Master Qingjun sat down, he rested for a while, his face gradually regained his blood, and then he spoke: "I want to cultivate the 'Burning Qi Thunder Book', and the first three paragraphs can be said to be the essence of it. ”

He sighed slightly, and said: "It's a pity that this fourth section of the Heavenly Book has not yet been cultivated, and it is difficult to break through, and the old man is very depressed in his heart!"

Lu Ying, who was standing beside Master Qingjun, had a sinking face, and he said, "Senior Brother Don't be discouraged, thinking that this 'Burning Qi Thunder Book' is the supreme exercise I have sent to it, and it is naturally difficult to cultivate. With the qualifications of the senior brother, I believe that as long as you persevere, you will be able to achieve great success!"

After hearing this, Master Qingjun smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lu, don't comfort the old man. It's not that you don't know that I have lived in seclusion for many years and devoted myself to cultivation in order to break through the Heavenly Book Section. But now...... But there is no progress, how can the old man not be anxious!"

After Master Qingjun finished speaking, Hong Kui, one of the three, continued: "This 'Heavenly Book Duan' is unfathomable, with the power of moving mountains and seas, and it was only cultivated by one ancestor before. For thousands of years, among the disciples of later generations,

There is no one who can break through, and it is conceivable that it is indeed difficult to reach the heavens if you want to cultivate into the Heavenly Book Section. ”

"Senior Brother Hong, you're right!" Venerable Qingjun showed a look of approval, and felt the same in his heart.

He also said: "In this world, the Taoism of each family is like a hundred flowers blooming, and it is actually compared with each other, if my Thunder Valley has been stagnant, I am afraid that my sect will eventually be destroyed, and when the old man falls, what face will he have to face as the ancestor!"

When Lu Ying heard this, he also deeply felt the painstaking efforts of Master Qingjun, and he said: "Yes, if you break through the Heavenly Book Section, Senior Brother in Charge, then my Thunder Valley Gate will really raise my eyebrows, and my prestige will spread even farther." ”

As soon as Lu Ying's words fell, Hong Kui continued: "Well, by then, my faction will definitely not be ranked at the bottom of the three major factions. ”

Master Qingjun sighed with emotion, his face was a little helpless, he said: "Two junior brothers, the old man knows your intentions, and thinks that my Thunder Valley has been established for thousands of years, and until now I have always been subservient to the three major factions, God really bless my family." ”

He continued: "Many years ago, Master Ancestor had a wish, he wanted to lead the Thunder Valley to a higher peak, carry forward the exercises of our sect, and thus be admired by the people of the world. However, in the past few years, our faction has been declining day by day, and it is not as good as the three major leaders of the Yunhua Sword Sect, Haoqing Palace, and Shenli Hall today, so that the master and grandfather died depressed. ”

Lu Ying and Hong Kui, how could they not know that when the master and grandfather sat down, they also told them thousands of times that they must make the Thunder Valley great, and not shame the ancestors.

At this time, Lu Ying in the field had a look of resentment on his face, he was dissatisfied, and said: "If you want me to send exercises, if it is compared with the true method of Yunhua Sword Sect, it will be on par. Over the past few years, the Yunhua Sword Sect has always been a leader in the righteous path, and as far as I know, the Yunhua Sword Sect has been working hard in recent years to recruit disciples, so that it can achieve today's prestige!"

When Master Qingjun heard this, he also said: "Senior Brother Lu's statement is extremely correct, a few years ago, the old man went to the Yunhua Sword Sect to participate in the sect conference, and their strength is already very strong, and they deserve to be called the leader of the faction."

After Master Qingjun finished speaking, there was a slight envy on his face. Thinking that he has always been strong by nature, and he has shouldered the rise and fall of the Thunder Valley Sect, adhering to the last wish of the previous generation of ancestors, he has devoted himself to cultivation in the hope of breaking through the Heavenly Book Section and promoting the sect. Now that things have backfired, who can understand the bitterness and unbearable in his heart!

In the stone room, the three of them were silent for a while, and finally only Hong Kui spoke alone: "Senior brother in charge, in my opinion, in the past few years, our sect has only known how to cultivate behind closed doors, and rarely recruited disciples. ”

After Lu Ying heard this, he said: "Senior Brother Hong's analysis is also reasonable, but I don't know how we can improve it next?"

After Hong Kui heard this, he smiled heartily and arched his hand: "Senior Brother in charge, Senior Brother Lu, at the moment, it is imperative that we recruit more disciples to expand the power of our faction, and then urge the disciples of various altars to cultivate diligently, so as to consolidate the strength of Thunder Valley." ”

When Master Qingjun heard this, he expressed his approval, thinking that over the years, he had only cared about his own cultivation, but he had neglected to discipline his disciples, and in the long run, it would inevitably have an impact on Thunder Valley.

"Well, leave this matter to the two junior brothers!" said Master Qingjun to Lu Ying and Hong Kui.

The two of them immediately bowed their hands and said, "Yes, senior brother in charge." ”

Just after the three of them discussed. At this time, Master Qingjun's expression was slightly tired, and he slowly said, "Just now, because of cultivation, I was a little anxious, and the old man wants to rest for a while, so you two junior brothers should retreat first!"

"Then don't bother the senior brother in charge, I'll leave later. Lu Ying and Hong Kui replied together, and then the two walked out of the stone room.

After the two of them left, only Master Qingjun stayed alone in the stone chamber, and as he stood up, he stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes flashing with a gleam, and he looked up at the top of the stone chamber, not knowing what to think about anymore.

After that, I only heard a long sigh from the stone room, and the tall back stood quietly, looking a little lonely and melancholy......
