Chapter 18: Apprenticeship
Kunwuzi has many disciples in his life, and his Taoism is even the best of the three peaks. However, it ended up like this, which is sad and lamentable. However, even though Kunwuzi had already driven the crane to the west, the movement of the "Jiuxia Calling Spirit Platform" still did not stop. The tyrannical yin wind swept the thick yin qi, overwhelming and constantly surging towards the array.
More than half of the disciples in the battle were killed or wounded, and the rest of them were red with bloody eyes, and they were still tirelessly fighting each other. The bones on the stone platform are full of bones, blood flows like a river, and the stumps fly sideways, a scene of purgatory on earth. Thick blood slowly flowed down the ground, gradually dyeing the entire stone platform blood-red.
The head of the sect and the elder of Xinghua Peak stepped aside, and they were helpless in the face of the tragic situation in front of them. Once it got closer, the yin qi around it surged like maggots on tarsal bones. If it weren't for Kunwu Zhenren's blow before he died, I am afraid that even they would be in the demon pool now.
Suddenly, there was a burst of rampant laughter in the darkness, and I saw that the disciple who opened the formation was covered in blood, and his eyes were scarlet and terrifying, staring at the disciple who was fighting in the formation.
Luoxia Sect originally had a compassionate heart and had no quarrel with the world. However, such a change happened in the sect, and the real person in charge of the sect was heartbroken, and regretted that he did not stop it at the beginning. If you don't do anything at this time, I'm afraid that the ancestor's hard work will be ruined. Now, looking at the stone platform, it is obvious that the person who opened the formation has fallen into the devil, and there is no possibility of recovery.
The real person in charge was covered in blue light, and a trace of purple qi could be faintly seen in the dark. True Qi emitted, like a sword piercing the clouds, and the Yin Qi was broken open, and even the thick dark clouds in the sky were scattered for a few points, seeping out a few rays of moonlight.
Elder Xinghua Feng was shocked, and he was even more excited when he saw that touch of purple, and said in a lost voice: "Senior brother, could it be that you have broken through to the legendary Zixia Realm?"
The head of the sect shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The Zixia Realm contains the power of penetrating the heavens and the earth, and the mysteries are abnormal, and what I can spy on is only one hundred and two, and it is still far away." ”
After speaking, the real person in charge looked resolute, and the blue light on his body slowly turned purple, covering his appearance. From a distance, it looks like a ball of light, and there is no trace of yin qi at a hundred meters around it. Then, under the horrified gaze of the elders of Xinghua Peak and the disciples of the two peaks, the purple ball of light slammed into the "Jiuxia Summoning Spirit Platform".
The disciple who opened the formation was named Kong Feng, and he didn't know what kind of demon he was possessed by, and he smiled strangely at the purple light: "Master Seven Spirits, others may still be afraid of you, but in front of my ghost, they are not afraid of you!"
As he spoke, the person who called the ghost party stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the yin qi around him suddenly surged, and one by one yin spirits kept appearing from the yin qi. The appearance on his face was that he was a disciple of Falling Moon Peak who had just died! Ghosts came out together, and the slightest breath of unwillingness, resentment, and fear made these souls turn into fierce spirits!
Seeing this, the galloping purple light paused and stopped in mid-air dozens of meters away from those murderous spirits. The next moment, the purple light was even more victorious, and the figure of the Venerable Seven Spirits was faintly visible.
The ghost fang and the Seven Spirit Venerable men fought, black gas rolled, purple light splashed, and the nearby mountains and rocks turned into debris. There were only those disciples who were bound by Kunwuzi in the array, and there were no more living people. They still let out angry roars from their mouths, but they couldn't break free of the blue light on their bodies.
This battle lasted for a long time, and as those disciples who turned into murderous spirits were killed one by one, the purple qi on the Seven Spirits Venerable became weaker and weaker. He knew that this matter was difficult today, and he was afraid that he was going to die here, so he was ruthless in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Senior sister, help me!"
Elder Xinghuafeng watched the two of them fight, but he couldn't help anything, and she couldn't bear that kind of yin qi. At this time, I heard that the Venerable Master of the Seven Spirits was shouting, and I knew that it was a critical moment, so I flew up, only to hear the voice of the Venerable Master of the Seven Spirits.
"Heaven kills, heaven punishes, heaven falls, sky yang, heaven retreats, heaven is far away!
Elder Xinghuafeng's complexion changed drastically, but he was ready to send a bolt, and he endured his grief, and all his cyan true qi poured into the dim purple light. Suddenly, the entire Luoxia Mountain Range shook. The purple glow filled the sky, forcing the yin qi to retreat step by step. Six pillars of brilliant light descended from the sky, all of them converging into the purple qi of the Seven Spirit Venerables.
The ghost fang, who didn't know where it came from, also changed his complexion greatly, and a wave of destruction came to his face.
The purple gas was surging, and there was a faint thunder explosion. A moment later, the figure of the Seven Spirits Master in the purple qi had disappeared, and there was only an ancient sword with purple patterns all over its body and surrounded by electric light.
The ancient sword had a spirit, and in an instant, it was mixed with the electric snake dancing wildly, stabbing towards the place where the ghost party was. Everywhere I went, the yin qi dissipated, the electric light wandered away, and the screams were terrible and miserable. The ghost party had no way to retreat, and his body was like being imprisoned, and as soon as he was pierced by the ancient sword, he turned into black mist and drifted away.
And the ancient sword transformed by the Seven Spirits Master also shattered piece by piece after a single blow, as if the soul was scattered.
......
Liu Zifeng listened to what Li Tiancheng said about the past of the sect, and his heart was shocked inexplicably, especially the "Six-Star Evil Punishment Array", which was unimaginable. However, since then, the disciples of Falling Moon Peak must have been completely damaged, and there is no longer the scenery of the past. Thinking of this, Liu Zifeng asked, "Senior brother, who is this ghost?"
Li Tiancheng said: "No one knows the origin of the ghost party until now, and since that battle, Luoyue Peak seems to have been cursed. But whoever breaks through the Qingxia Realm will suffer from the demons in their hearts nine times out of ten, and they will end up going mad. ”
Liu Zifeng was shocked, and suddenly regretted that he had listened to the old words of the liar. The weirdness and horror of this Falling Moon Peak was far beyond his imagination. But at this moment, it was too late to say anything, I was afraid that Elder Ji would be able to throw him down the Falling Moon Peak in a fit of anger.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Tiancheng knew that he might have retreated in his heart at this time, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Little junior brother, are you scared?"
"Scared?"
Liu Zifeng shook his head, remembering the scene of dead bodies everywhere and the flames soaring to the sky, he clenched his fists, and said to himself in his heart: How can I be afraid if the revenge is not avenged.
As they spoke, the two climbed to the top of the mountain one after the other. The sky is full of stars, flickering bright and dark, a bright moon rises from afar, the white moonlight is sprinkled, and the willow wind looks ahead.
The top of the mountain is overgrown with trees, and it is not known whether they were naturally formed or planted by later generations. In the cold winter now, the dead leaves and branches are scattered all over the ground, and they make a creaking sound when stepped on. There was a little light not far away, Li Tiancheng pointed over there, and smiled at Liu Zifeng: "Little junior brother, it seems that the master is still waiting for you." Let's get over there. ”
With that, the two of them walked towards the woods. When the lights became clearer and clearer in his vision, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
After a while, Liu Zifeng saw that there was a large hall not far ahead, almost ten meters high, surrounded by several stout ancient trees hugged by five or six people, I don't know how many years. The night is high, and the color of this hall can not be seen clearly, only the surrounding eaves are winding and edgeless, like a strange snake. In the middle is a straight path, neatly paved with gravel. The doors of the temple were open, and a figure turned its back to them.
Li Tiancheng walked into the hall with Liu Zifeng, and the figure turned, and sure enough, it was Elder Ji. He smiled, glanced at Li Tiancheng, turned his gaze to Liu Zifeng, and nodded.
The two saluted and said in unison, "The disciple has seen the master!"
"Okay, okay, no need to be polite!"
Elder Ji waved his hand, signaling that the two of them did not need to be polite. Then he looked at Liu Zifeng with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zifeng, are you really willing to worship your disciple and become my disciple?"
In the words, Liu Zifeng heard a trace of solemnity. He asked himself, although it was not his intention to worship the Falling Moon Peak, he was resolute, and he would definitely not regret making a choice, so he was sincere. With a clear thought, he looked into Elder Ji's eyes and said word by word, "I do!"
Elder Ji looked at the young and resolute face in front of him, and the stubborn eyes, he was relieved in his heart, and said loudly: "Okay! The old man will accept you as a disciple!"
On the side, Li Tiancheng also urged with a smile: "Little junior brother, why don't you hurry up and bow to the master and meet the master." ”
Liu Zifeng was stunned for a moment, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and looked around, looking for the incense burner.
Li Tiancheng couldn't help laughing, laughed, and said to Liu Zifeng: "Little junior brother, you only need to kowtow three times to apprentice." Your three prostrations and nine prostrations are only necessary when you worship the gods. ”
When Liu Zifeng heard the joke, he couldn't help but blush. Li Tiancheng was happy on the sidelines, and Elder Ji said, "Okay, it's getting late today, let's talk about these things tomorrow." Tiancheng, let's go back to the house and rest. ”
Li Tiancheng had a straight face and went out with Liu Zifeng.
As soon as the two of them left, there was a sound of soft footsteps in the hall. Then, a figure walked out, also young, tall and thin, with an angular face, a robe stained with a little dust, and a tired face. Elder Ji was still in the main hall, and a faint voice came.
"Fourth, what do you think of Zifeng?"
The tall and thin young man who was called the "fourth old" stroked his hair that was about to cover his eyes, and said softly: "You have already accepted the little junior brother, why do you ask like this?"
Elder Ji sighed, and it took a long time before he said, "I'm not afraid that he is some kind of evil and crooked, but I'm afraid that Luoyue Peak will harm him!"
The young man's movements were sluggish, and he listened to Elder Ji continue: "Zifeng is a person with great perseverance and great heart, but he chose Luoyue Peak. This kind of character is naturally like a fish in water when cultivating, but it is just a hurdle for demons in the heart, and I am afraid that it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”
The "fourth" couldn't imagine that the master had a high opinion of Liu Zifeng, so he was silent for a while and said, "Then let the little junior brother come with us!"
Elder Ji nodded, changed his words, and asked again, "The trial of the three halls is about to start again, how are you preparing?"
"Uh...... Almost...... Same as last time......"
When Elder Ji heard this, he snorted angrily and scolded: "A few of you who are not angry, you don't dare to cultivate every day under the pretense of not being serious, you really want to anger me to death." Tomorrow I will call Zhongyang out of the customs and try your growth. ”
The young man's face turned bitter when he heard this, and he said again and again: "Master, senior brother's cultivation is important, so you don't have to make a special trip to call senior brother out of the customs......
Elder Ji ignored him, waved his sleeves, and turned around to leave the main hall. Leaving the young man alone in the temple, he muttered in a sad voice: "What can I do...... The money earned in the past few days has been wasted again......"
