After listening to the narration of the two elders, Yue Chen solved a lot of doubts. As for the rest of the questions, listening to the meaning of the two elders, they can only resign themselves to fate. At least since the eighth generation, the disciples of the Taiqing lineage have given up on this matter and will never delve into it.

With a heavy heart, Yue Chen returned to Tianzhentai. After standing in the room for a long time, I came to the desk, took out the pen, ink and paper, and wrote seriously. Write everything you know one by one.

Looking at all kinds of inexplicable words and sentences, without careful investigation, it can be very clear that the real key point is, which is the mysterious and weird "Qinggang Peak" that only exists in the fantasy world. Yue Chen has long been familiar with the "Jiuzhou Chronicles", and it is true that there is no place to indicate that there is such a place, and there is no relevant record in the bizarre theory. Of course, if there were, the predecessors would have found it a long time ago, so why is it still a mystery to this day. In addition, for Yue Chen himself, perhaps the most urgent thing is to find out the origin of the five pieces of dark iron tablets.

How did Yue Chen get the five pieces of dark iron? In order to assess and select new disciples, the Chengming Sect has set up 36 difficulties that are famous in Jiuzhou, which are used to eliminate the weak and leave the most elite talents. When Yue Chen's team climbed the 27th difficult Qingxi Cliff, they reached the middle section when they suddenly blew violently, and the cliff shook violently. In a hurry, Yue Chen grabbed the life-saving straw that he didn't know what it was, leaned over and squeezed into a rock crevice, and escaped the catastrophe without danger, becoming one of the five people in the team who escaped. When the wind receded and everything was normal, the frightened Yue Chen realized that he had caught five pieces of flexible and energetic black iron sheets at some point. I always felt that I felt as if I had grabbed this thing to survive. But what was captured from there, I can no longer remember. At the same time, these thirty-six difficulties, the disciples of Chengming Sect can only go once in their lives, and they can no longer be searched for.

In Yue Chen's heart, he always felt that the wind was very strange. Not for anything else, but because the people in their small group were all children from peasant families. Seeing the Xuantie Piece and recalling the past events, it was difficult to calm down in his heart, but this also strengthened his determination to trace the origin of the Xuantie Piece. At present, for himself, it is the most important thing to follow the instructions of Hao Xian Zhenren and maximize his cultivation.

Thinking of this, he first opened the low-level Ruyi bag given by Hao Xian Zhenren, took out all the things inside, and put them on the table. The contents of the Ruyi bag are clear at a glance: 1,000 pieces of green rune paper, seven stacks of purple, blue, and yellow talismans, and three bottles of three-grade elixir. On the seven talismans, they are preserved with a dust-repelling talisman, and they still appear to be intact. Yue Chen naturally understood that this was the two real people Hao Jing and Hao Xian secretly taking care of him. With this kind of secret help, Yue Chen may only have this time in his life. Because the life and death calamity that the two great real people talked about is obvious, it is something that no one can do. Yue Chen also looked at this matter very openly.

Yue Chen first unsealed the seven talismans and reclassified them according to color and spell system, and then resealed the purple talismans and put them in the jade drawer. The blue and yellow ones are left behind, and the rest are also put away. According to Yue Chen's intuition, these numerous talismans were at least unused by the six seniors and kept to this day. There are seven kinds of techniques of the five elements plus wind and thunder two systems. Yue Chen only left the four talismans of wind, thunder, gold, and water, and Yue Chen usually comprehended the spells and spells of these talismans. Therefore, Yue Chen was convinced that before his cultivation was promoted to the fourth level of the Guanqing Realm, he would definitely be able to comprehend six new second-order spells and four third-order spells.

Someone asked, "Isn't it true that anyone can use the talisman after it has been refined?" The answer is: Not exactly.

Why? Because the talisman is made of runes, cloud seals, rune diagrams, and urn arrays as the body, spells and spells as the soul, and the spiritual power of the monks as the spirit, and the body, soul, and spirit are refined in one. Therefore, if a monk who uses a talisman does not have to understand the magic and spells of the talisman, he will not be able to drive the power of the talisman.

There are exceptions to everything in the world, and the talisman is no exception. The only kind of talisman that anyone can use is the dust talisman. This kind of talisman, strictly speaking, is completely different from the talisman technique practiced by the monk, and cannot be compared.

After dealing with these talismans, Yue Chen began to tidy up his Ruyi bottle again, and placed all the teacups and other things neatly in the room. At this time, he began to seriously observe the Seven Evil Trees. After observation, it was found that on the distorted and deformed Seven Evil Xuanmu that night, its carvings were like four flying dragons, and they were on the Xuanmu.

Yue Chen tried hard to recall the events of that night, and said in his heart: "This seemingly ordinary Seven Evil Xuanmu must be related to which Red Shadow Man. I've got to be very careful!"

For Yue Chen, everything finally returned to normal, and he suddenly felt unbearably thirsty and purring in his stomach. He put down the Seven Evil Xuanmu, lifted his bamboo tube and bamboo basket, and ran towards the Cave Spirit Source of the Heavenly Killing Peak.

The cave spirit source is full of nearly 10,000 kinds of immortal fruits and peaches, which is not only the only food source of the Taiqing lineage, but also one of the most important immortal fruit places in the Chengming Sect. There is a clear stream in the source, which is called Tianyi Divine Water, the water is full of spiritual power, and if you drink it regularly, it will be of infinite help to the monks.

When Yue Chen once lived in Yunqiao Stream, Wei Yuan and Zhang Huan were responsible for transporting these things, and Yue Chen would occasionally go to Eagle Valley to pick some fruits to eat. Now, like them, I can come and go freely. No, it didn't take long for me to come back with a basket full of peaches. All of Yue Chen's life has returned to the situation when he was in the bamboo house. The kind of slow, leisurely eating fruit and tasting tea is still the main rhythm of his life.

After eating and drinking, Yue Chen went out to check on the other six houses, and everything was as he expected, and the rooms were empty. It's clean and not even dusty. Xin said: "Master Zu is really greedy enough, and the move is too clean." No wonder, his descendants are always difficult to prosper, and they must have fallen under his spell. ”

After returning to the main house in the middle, Yue Chen was worried about this Seven Evil Dark Wood, he didn't have the kind of weapon to raise swords. After thinking about it, he put it in a groove in the back of the ancient jade bed, and said, "This ancient jade bed is full of spiritual power, and there are probably few treasures in the world that can beat it." If there is really something wrong with this Seven Evil Mysterious Wood, let it absorb spiritual power by itself. ”

Since then, Yue Chen has been immersed in endless cultivation secrets, cultivation talismans, and comprehension techniques, completely isolated from the world.

The sun and the moon are bright, and the treasures are beautiful. Bright Jiuzhou, outstanding people. For thousands of years, the magic is prospering, the universe is prosperous, and everything is happy. However, in the past three years, the people in the Demon Sect have been ready to move and peep into the world. So far, it has been completely put into action, and the elites of the sect have frequently appeared in the territory of Yuanzhou, and their behavior is even more mysterious and unpredictable.

The decent elite disciples led by Maha Dian, went to the state where the Demon Sect had frequent activities to investigate, but they were unexpectedly ambushed, and they lost their personnel and returned with a feather. Finally, this incident completely angered the righteous path factions led by the Maha Temple, Taiyi Mansion, and Chengming Sect, and the three factions were personally presided over by the elders of each sect, and began to dispatch troops to deal with the Demon Sect.

However, it's not that simple!

First of all, the two giant factions of Dragon Phoenix City and Ten Peerless Mountain Villas, which seem to be good and evil, maintain a neutral wait-and-see attitude. Although the strength of these two parties is slightly inferior to that of Maha Hall and Taiyi Mansion, it is enough to compete with Chengming Sect. It's just that since the founding of the Chengming Sect, it has lived in the right way and taken it as its responsibility to maintain the peace of Jiuzhou. Unlike these two factions, the style of acting in both good and evil makes both good and evil annoying.

Secondly, the three major demon cults are all involved in a mysterious matter. The two factions of good and evil have fought each other for more than 10,000 years, and they have won and lost each other, but the decisive battle between the Demon Sect Alliance and the Righteous Path Alliance has only happened once. 10,000 years ago, in a battle on Mount Meru where the Maha Temple is located, the two righteous path optimus primes of the Maha Hall and Taiyi Mansion were killed, and their vitality was greatly damaged. Only then did the three rising stars of Chengming Sect, Dragon Phoenix City, and Ten Peerless Villas gradually go hand in hand with the two factions. At the same time, that earth-shattering, weeping ghost and god Armageddon made the Demon Sect, which originally had seven branches, only three branches remained, namely the Shadow Moon Tower in Ganzhou, the Poison Immortal Sect in Juzhou, and the Great Sun Immortal Sect in Liuzhou.

At this moment, these three demon sects have once again joined forces, and the righteous path giant sect has to be cautious. After the agreement of the three factions, each faction was separately deployed in the key states of the continent, and moved at the opportune moment, and then struck preemptively. Therefore, starting from the three central points of Yuanzhou Sumeru Mountain, Pangu City and Xuanzhou Jinting Mountain, a huge net of the sky is slowly spreading, approaching the area where the demon sect has frequent activities. Soon, the good and evil sides entered the stage of stalemate, and neither of them took the initiative to attack, and it seemed that they both chose the strategy of static braking.

Just talk about Chengmingzong. Xuanzhou in the southwest has a vast area, abundant products, many families, countless shops, and a population of hundreds of millions. Its territory is mountainous, and over time, it is bounded by the size and trend of the mountain range, and Xuanzhou is naturally divided into Kyushu. In Kyushu, the Kintei Mountains run through the three states, and there are six states due east in front of it, which are lined up from north to south, forming the gateway to Kintei Mountain. Zilun Zhenren led the disciples of the Chengming Sect and stationed them in the three states at the gateway of Jinting Mountain. Specifically, the Taiqing dynasty lives in Jiangzhou, the Yuqing dynasty lives in Kuizhou, and the Shangqing dynasty lives in Zaizhou. Because of the importance of the matter, and because the disciples of the Taiqing lineage were alone, they had to be led by Haoyi Zhenren to go to Jiangzhou.

At the same time, the actions of the people in the Demon Sect began to slow down or even stagnate, which made the people in the righteous path even more confused, and for a while, they couldn't find a name for a teacher. As a result, the two sides had to enter a strange state of truce, and Jiuzhou was silent.

In the stalemate between the two sides, six months passed like a white horse. White clouds and dogs, floating beings, all things will always be. Finally, it was the Demon Sect that took action first, and the sect's disciples began to gather in Mozhou in the territory of Yuanzhou.

It is said that in the past six months, Wei Yuan, Zhang Huan, and Huo Xuan have reached the ninth level of the Hundred Cultivation Realm, and Yue Chen, with the help of the ancient jade bed, as expected by Hao Xian Zhenren, has successfully reached the fourth level of the Guanqing Realm. For the disciples of the Chengming Sect, who is the ninth in the Hundred Cultivation Realm, it is enough to go down the mountain alone to practice, increase knowledge, and expand their horizons. In the face of the current special situation, Haoyi Zhenren wants to bring his three beloved disciples to his side, so that they can temper themselves under his personal guidance. Seeing this, Haoxian Zhenren asked Yue Chen to go to Jiangzhou with the three of them. After the four of them came to Jiangzhou, Wei Yuan and the other three lived in the main room of the east wing arranged by Haoyi Zhenren, while Yue Chen lived in a small room across the courtyard after entering the west.

The three of them served by Haoyi's side every day, and when Han Yu and the others came back to report the news of the Demon Sect, the three of them could also know the inside story. Yue Chen was different, he had nothing to do, and he was warned not to run around, so in desperation, he had to hide in the house and cultivate with peace of mind.

On the third night when the four of them came to Jiangzhou, as soon as the sky turned dark, someone knocked on Yue Chen's door. Yue Chen knew that this compound was the courtyard of Chengming Sect, and it was extremely heavily guarded, so there would be no bad people coming to him. After thinking for a while, he got up and opened the door, and the person standing outside the door was none other than Ouyang Xiu, who was full of alcohol.

Ouyang Xiu covered his mouth and snickered for a while, and said softly: "You are really a strange person, are you really not afraid of holding back the problem?" Come on, I will help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and take you out for a walk to increase your knowledge!"

Yue Chen smiled softly and replied, "Senior Brother Liu said, don't walk around! I'll stay in the house honestly!"

"Pig's head!" Ouyang Xiu opened his mouth and scolded: "You don't look at it, the three of them never leave their teacher's side, and everything is familiar to them." When I get to you, it's okay, and I don't care about it. My master asked you to go down the mountain, not to let you be bored in this ghost place! At this moment, the old man Hao Yi is teaching his apprentices, and my senior brother and they have gone out to inspect, so it is the best time for me to take you to practice. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have a chance to go!"

Yue Chen thought to himself: "If you just go out and don't cause trouble, it doesn't matter!" Then he replied: "Okay! I have Senior Brother Lao to help me!"

Ouyang Xiu suddenly smiled again, "smack" a few times in his mouth, and nodded: "That's right!" With a gesture of his hand, he said softly: "Let's go!"

Yue Chen followed Ouyang Xiu all the way out of the city and walked towards a mountain forest. Listening to Ouyang Xiu, at night, on the Bo Hong Ridge outside the small lonely city, there are strange mirages appearing, and there are fairy dances from time to time, and the beauty is like being in a fairyland. But all the way down, Yue Chen found that there was no mirage, and the yin aura was getting heavier and heavier. began to feel uneasy in his heart, intentionally or unintentionally, he buckled a talisman in the palm of his right hand, and asked softly, "Senior brother, what do you want me to help with?"

Ouyang Xiu did not answer the question, and asked rhetorically: "Senior Brother Yue, listen to the master, you are from Cangzhou, right? However, that is, the people of Cangzhou have the opportunity to enter the Chengming Sect. If you are a person from outside the state, it will be difficult!" As he spoke, he mysteriously glanced at Yue Chen, who was walking side by side, shook his head and said, "Don't worry! I'm not a thief in the Shangqing lineage, and I won't even let go of my own classmates! I called you here tonight to let you see for a long time!"

Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Xiu let out a "hmm", hurriedly gestured with the mouth shape of "shh", pointed to the big tree next to him with his right hand, and motioned for Yue Chen to climb up. Yue Chen comprehended, turned around and "swished" a few times before climbing the big tree, hiding in the tree, and when he looked down, Ouyang Xiu was nowhere to be seen.

Just as he was looking, a person walked out of the shadows of the woods, with a faint black mist on his face, looked around cautiously, shook his head alone, and wanted to turn around and return the way he came. Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, a sword light pierced through the dark night and slashed at the vital part of his body. This person is also quite obsessed, he was on guard, and under unfavorable circumstances, he sacrificed the magic sword, and the sword body was covered with billowing black mist, and he rose into the sky violently, and forcibly put aside this deadly sneak attack.

The person who sneaked up on the attack seemed to know that the opponent's cultivation was far above him, and when he saw someone who was on guard, he didn't hit it hard, and he turned into an attack from another direction in an arc. The man took a breath, and saw that the person who attacked was not as good as himself, so he relaxed a little, and struck at the person who attacked him. At this time, he was facing away from Yue Chen.

Yue Chen suddenly saw that the person directly opposite this person was Ouyang Xiu, and Ouyang Xiu's left hand had a strange posture, posing one after another, and the shape of his mouth was constantly changing. Yue Chen said in his heart: "Senior Brother Hugh means to let me sneak attack this person. But is this person a good person or a bad person?" After thinking about it, he pondered: "Haoxian Zhenren has a very high cultivation, and he will not teach a disciple who is too unpresentable, which means that Senior Brother Xiu is definitely not a bad person!"

Just when Yue Chen was undecided, the two fought for two more rounds, and Ouyang Xiu had already shown signs of defeat. Yue Chen's heart was shocked, he recited a mantra in his mouth, his mind was smart, and with the raising of his right hand, a talisman struck at someone's back. This is the third-order water system spell Frost Blade Technique, once it is cast, a powerful Ice Crystal Blade is hidden in the chaotic flying frost flowers.

Whoever noticed someone sneaking up and shouted: "Shameless!" But no matter how he scolded, it was too late, and an ice crystal hit his back, and he staggered, spurting a stream of thick blood from his mouth, and his body slowed down a little. In the moment of his stupor, a sharp spirit sword pierced his throat and ended his life.

Yue Chen suddenly felt that Ouyang Xiu's face was covered with a layer of frost, and this layer of cold qi passed through the sword body, as if it was about to erupt from the tip of the sword. In an instant, the tip of the sword, which was stained with blood, was more like a cold heart, roaring into the boundless night. Even, its beating sound has become the only sound in this mountain forest!
