The remnant sun is like blood, and the sun is flying all over the sky.

On top of Tuo Mountain, the rocky hill collapsed. Rocks are littered and dusty are flying.

The thin monkey and Xin Wei, who were stunned by the Qiankun Emperor Zhong, had already woken up after being carried out by everyone, and at this moment they were standing not far away and looking at Hu Yan viciously, eager to skin him and tear him apart, so as to vent the hatred in his heart.

The Evil God Sect blocked the road in front, and there was a cyan python in the back.

Hu Yan looked at everything in front of him, and was in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, Zhuang Bai was completely immersed in the grief of losing Jin Ning'er and couldn't extricate himself, and Ziling had no combat power at all. At this point, there is only no demand left on Hu Yan's side, and there is still the strength to fight. Although Hu Yan has the ancient spirit weapon Qiankun Emperor Zhong to protect the body, but he has not learned any combat skills, and at the same time facing the Evil God Sect and the cyan giant python, what can he do?

Suddenly, Hu Yan felt like a useless waste, a wretched creature who could only drag people back and hurt his friends.

Even if he has a spiritual weapon like the Qiankun Emperor Bell, he can't exert the power he should have. Neither can he protect the people he wants to protect, nor can he have the ability to slay demons like a master like Brother Zhuang or even like Jin Ning'er and Wuqiu. Every time he faced a difficult situation, he could only hide behind everyone like a child, unable to do anything.

Is he really so useless? Is he really not suitable for this path?

Hu Yan kept asking himself, but no one could give him an answer.

The road ahead made him hesitant, helpless and even afraid......

As the sun sets, the darkness strikes like a flood of beasts as the last strands of gold disappear into the sky. The mountain breeze is chilling.

At this moment, Hu Yan finally understood the true meaning of the master's previous sentence that "the path of cultivation is more terrible than death".

It's not that you'll encounter any terrible monsters or terrible things you'll encounter on your cultivation path. Rather, it is the helplessness and despair after encountering a desperate situation, and then the questioning and hesitation of the spiritual path, and even the denial of the self.

Practice, what is the practice?

What is cultivated is the true self, and the true is preserved by removing the false! And the practitioner uses the physical body of the four false combinations to cultivate the true body of my vajra that is not bad. In ancient times, there was no immortal body, only an eternal Dharma body.

If a practitioner doubts and hesitates about the path of cultivation, and no one gives correct guidance from the side, the practitioner will be deeply trapped in it and will be unable to extricate himself, and then he will have a fantasy of great freedom, go mad, or even fall into the demonic path. That would be something more terrible than death.

The reason why Hu Yan is like this at this moment is fundamentally because he has not been in the Tao for a long time and his mind is not strong.

All of a sudden, he was made to go through so many things, and he had no experience or ability to deal with them, so he had feelings of self-denial.

However, it is precisely because Hu Yan has not been able to detect his qi for a short time, so that he will not fall into obsession after denying himself, so that he will have a great illusion of freedom.

Although at the moment he was helpless in his heart, and even felt that he was worthless. But looking at Zhuang Bai's depressed back and his slightly shrugged shoulders, a strong impulse slowly rose in Hu Yan's heart.

He didn't want to be a burden to his brothers anymore, and he didn't want to hide behind everyone and be protected by them every time he encountered difficulties.

"You used to protect me, but this time it's time for me to protect you. Even if you give your life for it, you will not hesitate to ......" Hu Yan glanced at Wuqiu and Ziling beside him, and his heart was unwavering.

With a goal, Hu Yan finally swept away the haze in his heart, no longer hesitant, no longer helpless.

He patted Wuqiu, and said with a solemn face: "Wuqiu, if there is a fight for a while, I will create an opportunity for you, and you will find a way to take Brother Zhuang and Ziling away......"

Wuqiu looked at Hu Yan with some shock and said, "What stupid things to say." To go together, to stay together. I will never leave you behind. ”

Ziling's head shook like a rattle: "No, little brother, I'm not leaving." Even if I have to die, I will die with you. ”

Wuqiu nodded and said, "Ziling is right, even if you die, you have to die together." ”

Hu Yan grabbed Wuqiu's shoulders fiercely, and said with a cautious face: "Wuqiu, you listen to me, although you started earlier than me, you are a senior brother, but I am older than you." Brother Zhuang is depressed at the moment, and he can't fight at all, and now there are only two people who can fight. But with the strength of the two of us, it is impossible to defeat these people from the Evil God Sect. I have the Qiankun Emperor Bell to protect me, and with the power of the Qiankun Emperor Bell, I can still resist for a moment, so you will take the opportunity to take them away. ”

Turning his head and saying to Ziling: "Ziling, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Wuqiu shook his head and said, "No, no, since I am a senior brother, I have to protect you." How can I leave you alone. ”

Hu Yan stared at Wu Qiu's eyes, and said undoubtedly: "Senior brother, this is the first time I have called you senior brother." But by no means the last. Count me begging you......"

Seeing the firmness of the nonsense, he hesitated and said, "But we are leaving, what should you do?"

Hu Yan looked up at the dark night sky, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." After all, I have the Qiankun Emperor Bell Protector. I can't run if I can't beat me, don't forget that I'm a person who lives in the mountains all year round, and I'm better than them when I walk the mountain road. ”

Ziling bit her lip, tears falling down her face. She knew that Hu Yan had already made up her mind, and even if it was herself, she couldn't change it.

Seeing Ziling crying again, Hu Yan smiled and patted Ziling's little head: "Silly girl, what are you crying about, I'm not going to die." Don't worry, I'll be looking for you when I'm out of danger. ”

Ziling nodded, choked up and said, "Little brother, you must live well, we will wait for you." ”

Hu Yan smiled, a little bitter, although he swore by it, he was not sure what would happen next, let alone whether he would be able to go out to find them alive.

"Don't let anyone want to go, brothers will take them all down for me!" After a short period of breathing, the thin monkey was fine, and when he saw that Hu Yan and the others wanted to leave, he gave an order, and more than a dozen big men behind him rushed up.

Seeing this, Hu Yan's brows sank, his hand pinched the knot sharply, the Tibetan spell rose sharply, and the Qiankun Emperor Bell rotated and appeared in front of him.

The people of the Evil God Sect who rushed up saw Hu Yan sacrifice the Qiankun Emperor Bell, their hearts sank, and their pace slowed down. They naturally knew how powerful the Qiankun Emperor Zhong was, and Senior Brother Ten and Xin Wei were examples. Ancient spirit weapons that even the Ten Senior Brothers couldn't resist, let alone those who were even inferior in their skills.

Seeing that everyone hesitated, the thin monkey couldn't help but be furious: "Those who fear war will not be killed." ”

The tenth senior brother was furious, and everyone was suddenly panicked, they knew the methods of the tenth senior brother, and they couldn't care about much, gritted their teeth, and rushed towards Hu Yan and the others with a roar.

"Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang......" Seeing the people from the Evil God Sect rushing over, he shook Zhuang Bai, who was immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself, but found that he was not moved at all, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"No need, I'll block them, you find a chance to take Ziling and Brother Zhuang away. With a wave of his hand, the Qiankun Emperor Bell suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, buzzing and rushing towards the crowd.

The Qiankun Emperor Bell runes flowed, and the golden light shot out, hitting a person, and the person was knocked away with a wail. For a while, no one could come close.

The thin monkey watched his men being knocked away one by one, and his brows tightened more and more: "Damn, this Qiankun Emperor Bell is worthy of being an ancient spirit treasure, it is so powerful." I'm afraid that if you want to submit it, you have to go out of the big brother. ”

Xin Wei glanced back at the collapsed stone hill, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what happened to Senior Brother, he hasn't come out yet." Isn't something wrong?"

The thin monkey waved his hand and said, "With the strength of the senior brother, how can something happen." It's just that I didn't expect to be taken by these stinky boys and take this Qiankun Emperor Bell. We can't let them go if we say anything today, otherwise the senior brother will blame us, and we won't be able to eat and walk away. ”

Xin Wei nodded, stood up from the ground, and said with a somewhat sore neck that was smashed by the Qiankun Emperor Zhong: "Senior Brother Ten, it seems that we have to make a move." ”

The thin monkey looked at the people who were constantly being knocked away, and snorted coldly: "I really don't know what to eat with these wine bags and rice bags." As he spoke, he pinched his knuckles and walked slowly towards the battle circle.

"Senior brother, I want the big one, and I'll leave the rest to you. Xin Wei looked at Zhuang Bai who was kneeling on the ground, and his cold eyes became fanatical. The previous battle with Zhuang Bai had already ignited his flames of war. He only wants to compete with Zhuang Bai now, and as for the others, he doesn't pay attention to them at all.

The thin monkey grinned and said, "You guy is still so belligerent, okay, the big ones will be yours, and the three small ones will be mine." I am worried that there is no good Ding Furnace to honor the senior brother, and these three little guys are not bad. ”

"That little Taoist priest has good skills, don't be careless, and pay attention to the Qiankun Emperor Bell, don't be covered by his golden light. Otherwise, it's troublesome. Xin Wei reminded.

"Don't worry, if you have been fooled once, you can plant it in a pit a second time. "The thin monkey didn't think so, it was because of carelessness that he was covered by the Qiankun Emperor Bell before, but now that he is on guard, he will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the past.

The two of them walked faster and faster, and with a roar from the thin monkey, the two of them shook their bodies and rushed towards Hu Yan and the others. A big war is on the verge of breaking out.

Hu Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw these two people joining the battle circle, although their skills Hu Yan didn't feel it personally, but judging from the previous battles between them and Brother Zhuang, their skills were obviously much stronger than others. And the white-faced scholar who wields the sword is even more powerful. This person's swordsmanship is exquisite, and his body is weird, not to mention that he is himself and Wuqiu, I am afraid that Brother Zhuang will not be able to take advantage of him if he fights.

Now Brother Zhuang is depressed and has no intention of fighting. You can't fight it on your own and without asking for anything. The only way to subdue them is to rely on the Qiankun Emperor Bell. It's just that the two of them have taken precautions at the moment, and it is not easy to use the Qiankun Emperor Bell to restrain them.
