The endless ancient mountains and forests seem to spread to the edge of heaven and earth. Countless mountains reach into the sky, and the snow that does not melt all year round covers the top of the mountain in silver. Between the smoke, I don't know how many secrets are hidden.

In the depths of the falling smoke, the peak of extinction.

The ancient buildings built on the mountain loom in the layers of clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

A long staircase, winding up from the foot of the mountain, like a dormant dragon, reaches the sky.

At the bottom of the stairs stands a huge gatehouse. Above the gatehouse, there is a stone plaque horizontally. The word "falling smoke" is vigorous and powerful, like a knife cutting an axe and chisel.

On the pillars on both sides, there is a couplet.

"Cultivating the truth, seeking the truth, cultivating the truth is not true, and the way of heaven asks the way of heaven is also the way of heaven. ”

Lin looked up at this couplet again, read it again, pouted and asked Lu Ye, "Husband, what do you think of this couplet?"

"It's a mystery. Lu Ye said, "Speaking of which, I didn't say anything about right and wrong." ”

Caiyi covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Husband, you should be cautious, this couplet is inscribed by the Venerable Master Ziyan, the founder of the Luoyan Sect. ”

Lu Ye coughed dryly and said, "Well, this couplet is really meaningful, and it has exhausted all kinds of cultivation and heavenly dao in one sentence." ”

Jin Shaotang couldn't help but be happy and wanted to joke with Lu Ye, but he couldn't help it. Ever since Zhou Yuansheng told Jin Shaotang about Lu Ye's "true" identity, Jin Shaotang felt uncomfortable. The guy who used to call himself a brother and brother suddenly became his own ancestor, and Jin Shaotang always felt a little awkward.

The sense of gap is too big, so Jin Shaotang will inevitably feel a little inferior, and in the face of Lu Ye, there will always be a feeling of not being able to stretch out.

"Let's go, let's visit the station of the first major sect in the Falling Smoky Mountain. Lu Ye said, smiled and took the lead and walked up the stairs.

The ugly child screamed, grabbed Lu Ye's hand, and looked happy. Although the little guy was tired enough to choke after many days of traveling, he was immediately interested when it came to playing. After running a few steps, he disliked Lu Ye's slow walking, and directly let go of his hand and climbed up.

Lu Lao said "Aba" twice, afraid that the ugly child would be lost, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Looking at the ugly child's happy appearance, a smile also appeared on Zhou Yuansheng's old face. In recent days, I have been accompanied by ugly children every day. Even though Chou'er always calls him "senior brother and senior brother", he always dotes on Chou'er as a junior. It's like you're having fun. Seeing that the ugly child was happy, Zhou Yuansheng couldn't help but be happy.

Zhou Yuansheng, who has been lonely all his life, seems to have discovered the joy of life until this time. Sometimes, he even felt that even if his cultivation did not grow any longer, it was worth it to live happily like this for a few years. Looking at the little master beside him who taught him alchemy skills, Zhou Yuansheng sighed with emotion.

Thanks to the little master, his cultivation does not seem to have come to an end. At least for now, there was a feeling that I was about to break through to the second layer of the condensation vein.

Lu Ye laughed, and climbed the stairs unhurriedly while enjoying the scenery along the way. "By the way, Shaotang, don't buy such fancy clothes for ugly children in the future, it's not good. Although the ugly child is delicate, she can't be raised as a girl. "Lu Ye doesn't want to be ugly and become a sissy in the future. Boys, they should be like boys, they have been raised as girls since they were children, and it's strange if they don't grow up.

Jin Shaotang was stunned for a moment, a little crying and laughing.

Shouldn't a girl be raised as a girl? Can she still be raised as a child? Besides, the little aunt likes flowers and clothes very much.

Zhou Yuansheng comprehended, nodded and said, "What the master said is that those who cultivate the truth should have a trace of heroism. ”

Lu Ye rarely interacted with people in the village, and he didn't know much about children. He always thought that the ugly child was a boy, and he was always a dirty little mud baby on weekdays, whether it was a boy or a girl, and he had long hair, so it was really difficult to distinguish between men and women. Even if it was cleaned up, Lu Ye still just thought that the ugly child was just a little delicate. Hearing Zhou Yuansheng's words, Lu Ye smiled, "It doesn't matter if you are heroic or not, just don't be embarrassed." ”

Jin Shaotang felt that he understood what Lu Ye meant, and nodded yes. In the end, it was his own ancestor, and the child's clothes were, and Jin Shaotang didn't bother to raise the bar with Lu Ye.

"Oh, husband, Daddy, they're gone. Lin Zai suddenly shouted, "There are so many people, don't run away, I'll look for it." After that, Lu Ye couldn't help but speak, and ran forward quickly,

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, and shouted at Lin Zai's back, "Where are we meeting?!"

Lin Zai didn't seem to hear it, and continued to run forward without looking back.

Caiyi smiled and said, "Don't panic, husband, I'll chase her, huh...... Anyway, we don't have to go to the secret realm, in case we get separated, we will be waiting for you outside the secret realm. ”

Lu Ye frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's okay." Watching Caiyi rush forward, Lu Ye unconsciously reached out and pinched his chin.

It can be seen that Lin Zai and Caiyi are deliberately looking for a reason to separate from themselves.

What do they want to do?

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ye was about to catch up, but suddenly heard someone shouting behind him.

"Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Yuansheng followed the sound and saw the person coming, and couldn't help laughing, "It turned out to be Brother Chen, why are you here too?"

The person who came was not an outsider, it was the shopkeeper Chen of Chen Ji Pharmacy. The shopkeeper Chen did not answer Zhou Yuansheng's question, but instead hugged his fist at Lu Ye, "Brother Lu, I am fortunate to have a good time, Chen Mou had no eyes last time, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Lu Ye was a little embarrassed, the titles of "Brother Zhou" and "Brother Lu" were really ......

Even if a cultivator doesn't stick to small sections, he can call both the master and the disciple "brother", isn't it a big deal?

Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile, "I learned from the Shaodong family that Brother Zhou worshipped Brother Lu as a teacher, and I am really happy for Brother Zhou." Brother Lu followed Master Ling Jue to learn the cultivation of the true alchemy, and his knowledge of the ability is definitely extraordinary, and Brother Zhou's future future is beyond his reach. ”

What does this mean......

All right.

In this way, Shopkeeper Chen and Zhou Yuan are the same generation, and they have become elders.

But the problem is that his cultivation is not high, and of course it is impossible for the shopkeeper Chen to call his predecessors and shout "brother", which is already very polite.

Lu Ye smiled bitterly and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Chen is too modest. ”

Shopkeeper Chen then hugged Jin Shaotang and said, "Young owner." ”

Jin Shaotang grinned and said, "Uncle Chen, are you also here to join in the fun?" Seeing Lu Ye look over, Jin Shaotang's face turned red, and he said in a low voice, "Drink too much......" After hearing Zhou Yuansheng say Lu Ye's "true" identity, Jin Shaotang drank hard. If you drink too much, you will pour out what you should say and what you shouldn't say......

The wine is really bad.

Lu Ye could only smile bitterly and didn't say anything more.

Shopkeeper Chen observed his words, snorted, and said, "The secret realm, it's rare to see, even if you are not qualified to enter, it's good to open your eyes." Shopkeeper Chen laughed loudly, and said to Lu Ye again, "Why don't you see Mrs. Zun?"

It's coming, but now it's gone.

Lu Ye glanced at the countless heads on the steps, and did not see the trace of Lin Zai and Caiyi, and sighed regretfully, saying in his heart that it was really time for the shopkeeper Chen to come.

......

Of course, Lin Zai was not interested in finding Lu Lao and Chou'er, she dodged the crowd neatly, and kept running up. After running for a long distance, it was as if I had passed through the clouds, and finally I finally climbed to the top of the mountain. Lin looked at the left and right sides again, and then looked at the long main hall avenue in front of him, and thought for a moment before turning around and walking to the left.

The scenery from the top of the extinct peak is absolutely beautiful. However, Lin Zai had no intention of appreciating it. She thought to herself as she walked.

That thing, it should be in a very cold place.

It shouldn't be hard to find.

It's just that the station of the Luoyan Sect is too big, and Lin Zai turned left and right, and he lost the path. In the midst of distress, Lin Zai suddenly heard the conversation between two tourists passing by.

"Senior brother, why are there so many people? ”

"The junior disciple's cultivation days are short, and I don't know anything. This is the residence of the first major sect of the Luoyan Sect, with this opportunity, who doesn't want to come in and have a look? On weekdays, not everyone can come in. The senior brother laughed, and said, "The Feiyun Sect has intervened in the forces of my Luoyan Mountain Sect, and the Luoyan Sect has opened a ban at this time, so that I can wait to come in and take a turn, which probably also means to show strength and express kindness." However, it is impossible for us to enter an important place such as the Classics Room. However, there are some places where opportunities are rare and must be visited. ”

"What is it?"

"The first one, of course, is the Sword Forest. It is said to have been built in imitation of the rumored Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. Among them, the sword qi is swept and the formation is surprising, this is a must-visit place. The other is the sword field, for thousands of years, countless masters have competed in the sword field of the Luoyan Sect, and the sword qi left during the period is very strong, and it will not pass away after the years, and it will be a pity not to understand it. There is also an ice pool. ”

"Bingtan?"

"Yes, it's the coldest place on Extinction Peak. The senior brother said, "Don't look at the extremely cold place there, but there are flowers that will not be thanked for four seasons, a fire that will not be extinguished for ten thousand years, and the bones of an ancient giant beast, although the giant beast died for an unknown time, but just the violent atmosphere on the bones is extremely terrifying." ”

"Really, let's go to the ice pool first!"

"Okay, go here. ”

Lin looked at the backs of the two again, and his mind moved, and he followed closely.

After following the two of them for a long distance, the temperature around them suddenly plummeted. It was already cold on the Extinct Peak, but the further forward it went, the more cold it became.

Lin heaved again and walked forward quickly.

Although he had the cultivation of the seventh layer of qi refining, Lin Zai was still shivering from the cold of this extremely cold place.

The Flower of the Four Seasons, the Fire of Ten Thousand Years, the Bones of the Ancient Behemoth?

Lin doesn't care about these anymore.

Where the wind and snow are howling, a pool of clear water, rippling blue waves.

There is no ice in the ice pool, and the fairy spirit freezes to death.

Where the air turned into ice, this pool of clear water did not freeze.

According to legend, this pool of seemingly gentle water, even if it is a high-level cultivator, does not dare to touch it easily.

Lin Zai is more interested here.

It's just that before he had time to get close to the ice pool, Lin Zai saw the colorful clothes standing by the ice pool at a glance.

Frowning slightly, Lin walked over again, stood beside Caiyi, and looked at the pool of blue waves in front of him.

"Huh...... My sister is so slow. Caiyi said without looking back.

Lin snorted again and said, "It seems that you already knew that thing was here." ”

"yes. Caiyi said, "I knew it a thousand years ago. It's just a pity that the ice pool water doesn't matter, but that thing ...... Without a husband, I can't handle it. Few people know that the Heavenly Coffin is at the bottom of this ice pool, and even if anyone knows, what can they do? Without a husband, no one can take the Heavenly Coffin away. Otherwise, why do you think this place is unguarded?"

"How could I not know about such a thing? Lin Zai was a little cold, hugged his arms, looked at the clear water in front of him, and sighed, "The coffin of the burial sky...... What does it look like?"

"It's just a coffin. Caiyi said, "It's ugly." ”

Lin Zai smiled and said, "According to legend, in the heavenly coffin, a realm was buried, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"If you ask me, it's a vain question. Caiyi said, "If the husband doesn't have amnesia, he can probably tell you." After all, he was the only cultivator in the past who had ever practiced the Heavenly Coffin. ”

Lin Zai sighed, "It's really a good thing...... Tanhualang ...... Oh, fool! Such a good thing was used by him to treat a dying man, and he just threw it away. ”

Caiyi glanced at Lin Zai and said, "Maybe, it's just that you and I can't understand his pain." Killed his parents and beloved woman with his own hands...... Oh, I almost forgot, you should understand, at least, you killed your biological father and your own brother. Speaking of which, what does it feel like to kill your own father and brother with your own hands, and also completely destroy their primordial gods?"

"Heh......" Lin Zai's brows jumped, and he took a deep look at the ice pool, and turned to leave.

Caiyi smiled slightly and followed.

Catching up with Lin Zai, Caiyi asked, "My sister is really curious, why did my sister kill her biological father and brother back then?"

Lin glanced at Caiyi again, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I just think it's more fun." ”

"Heh......" Caiyi laughed, "It seems really fun to think about." It's a pity that my parents died early, and my only sister Caiyun also died in your hands, otherwise, you can kill and have fun. ”

"Don't be afraid, you still have Mu Ling to kill. A teacher for one day, a father for life, and it's the same when you kill. ”

"That's right. Caiyi said.

Lin Zai didn't seem interested in chatting with Caiyi. She walked a long way until she stepped out of the cold range of the ice pool, and then sat down on a railing on the side of the mountain, her legs hanging on the perimeter of the railing, and she looked at the abyss below her in a daze.

The clouds obscured the world below, and only the gray and yellow land in the distance could be seen.

There, is the land of the Eight Desolations.

It is rumored that there is no grass and no aura.

Caiyi didn't follow, just looked at Lin Zai's back from a distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned to leave.

......

The top of extinction.

Next to a cliff.

Caiyi bowed slightly to the visitor, and said softly, "Brother, don't come unharmed." ”

The corners of the visitor's mouth twitched, and his face showed anger. "Caiyi! You are so daring, are you here to die!"

"Hehe, what did my brother say, my sister is very afraid of death. ”

"Hmph, you haven't left here for thousands of years?"

"yes. Caiyi said, "I heard that my brother sealed Nanshan for my sister's sword, and my sister was very sad." Knowing this, my sister would never plant a puppet for my brother. ”

The person who came was none other than Chang Luo, the former head of the Fengjian Sect, the current elder, one of the masters of Luoyan Mountain, and a peerless master who was once as famous as the Ziyan Master of the Luoyan Sect.

As a Yuanying master, a peerless master who can walk sideways in the Falling Smoky Mountain and even the entire Desolate Domain, Chang Luo has a sense of powerlessness in the face of Caiyi, the demon of the seventh layer of qi refining.

Puppet ......

If it weren't for the puppet, if it weren't for Caiyi, the demon with the heart of a snake and scorpion, Chang Luo would not have sealed Nanshan with a sword and retired to the rivers and lakes.

Thinking of all the things thousands of years ago, Chang Luo's fists clenched tightly, eager to punch the delicate cheeks of the demon in front of him. It's just that Chang Luo finally gave up.

Like a deflated ball, Chang Luo exhaled and asked weakly, "What do you want to do!"

"It's nothing, I told my brother before, as long as my brother does me a small favor at a critical moment, it's enough. Caiyi said, "Brother himself should also understand that your cultivation is extremely high, once I use the puppet once, you can break the puppet by yourself." So...... It's just a small favor, and after that, my brother doesn't have the restraint of a puppet, and it's easy to kill me. Rest assured, it's coming soon. ”

"Wouldn't it be better to kill you now?!" Chang Luo Sen said.

"Is my brother willing?"

Willing?

Scold......

What is there that is not reluctant.

I am no longer the ignorant person who couldn't walk when I saw this devil.

It's just, it's a pity.

Chang Luo believes that once she really wants to do something to Caiyi, she will definitely use the puppet immediately, and when the time comes, she will probably make irreparable mistakes while she is controlled. What's more, the characteristics of the puppet are very weird, once Caiyi dies, he will also die......

Sighing, Chang Luo said, "Since it's not the right time, then what are you bringing me here for?"

"Alas......" Caiyi said with some resentment, "When the time comes, if you want to chat with my brother so calmly, I'm afraid I won't have a chance." I haven't seen you for a thousand years, and I really miss it. It just so happened that my brother was also in the Falling Smoke Sect, so I brought my brother over. Speaking of which, I really miss the days when I sat in my brother's arms and watched the sunrise and sunset carefree. ”

Chang Luo glanced at Caiyi, and his eyes did not hide his disgust. He snorted coldly and said, "Your demonic nature seems to be much weaker." ”

"There's no way, I was injured by the Falling Smoke Sword before, and I had to self-destruct the Yuan Shen again, and I lost a lot of demonic nature. Caiyi said, "It is said that this Falling Smoke Divine Sword is a move of the Purple Smoke Master to realize the memories of Hualang, and it is really good for the Yuan Shen." Even if it was just a foundation building cultivator's Falling Smoke Divine Sword, it almost killed me. ”

"Almost? That's a pity. Chang Luo said viciously.

"No, I should say it's a blessing. Caiyi said, "I'm dead, and the puppet will explode." I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want my brother to die with me. ”

Chang Luo's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Sometimes, I really want to end up with you." ”

"Is it an outlaw mandarin duck? Brother is really romantic. Caiyi laughed.

......

Lin didn't know how long he had been sitting on the railing, until he was awakened by the sound of a long twilight drum and noticed that his cheeks were wet.

Rub a handful and put it to your lips, salty.

Scold......

I actually cried......

Lin Zai's heart trembled and he snorted angrily.

What a colorful dress!

I even have to have my own demonic heart turmoil!

Wrong!

How can he be resolute in his own demonic heart......

Could it be ......

Because of the ice pool?

Or is it because of the heavenly coffin?

Lin Zai couldn't figure it out, so he wiped his face with some annoyance, and then turned over beautifully and got down from the railing.

At this time, a voice echoed in the mountains: "The Venerable Purple Smoke has an order, and all the sects please accompany Yongyan Zhenren to the secret realm at the foot of the mountain." The secret land is a blessed land. All of you who are qualified to enter the secret realm are all the talents of my rookie in the Smoky Mountain, and he will work together to create brilliance, which can be expected. I hope that you will live in harmony, and if there is any dispute, it will be stopped......"

With this voice, the mighty team gradually gathered. In a few moments, it was like a long dragon, winding north.

In the crowd, Lu Ye, Zhou Yuansheng and Jin Shaotang did not wait for Lu Laojian and Lin Zai and others, so they could only go first.

Shopkeeper Chen has been chatting with Lu Ye and Zhou Yuansheng on the side, and it seems that there is always something to say. In and out of the words, he also unabashedly talked to Lu Ye about the Ling Jue Master.

Jin Shaotang discovered for the first time that this shopkeeper Chen turned out to be a chatterbox. Even a young man like him who liked to chat was tired of listening to it.

Lu Ye didn't care about chatting with people, but this shopkeeper Chen really talked too much. I always heard him say that he had been silent, and it seemed a little rude. Lu Ye asked speechlessly, "How big is that secret realm, can it accommodate so many people?"

Shopkeeper Chen smiled, "Brother Lu thinks too much. Looking at so many people, in fact, most of them went to see the excitement. I asked Zhao Yun about the one hundred and fourteen sects of all sizes in Luoyan Mountain, each of which sent two representatives, but there were only more than 200 people. And this newly discovered secret realm seems to be very vast. It's just that there's no way to know what's going on inside. In order to show its sincerity, the Luoyan Sect did not take the lead in sending people to investigate. ”

Lu Ye nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I want to come to my cousin Lu Yuanfeng, this time I will also enter the secret realm, right?"

"That's natural. Shopkeeper Chen said, "There is not only Lu Yuanfeng, but also Zhao Yun's daughter Zhao Yan." Both of them are condensing vein cultivators, and Lu Yuanfeng has already reached the third layer of condensation. It's all a relationship of kinship, and in the secret realm, we should support each other. ”

Saying that they support each other is naturally polite words.

Regarding the cultivation of the fourth layer of qi refining displayed by Lu Ye, Shopkeeper Chen was not optimistic.

This kind of cultivation, even if there is a peerless master, it is in vain. Entered the secret realm and met the treasure, who cares whose apprentice you are, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely kill people and seize the treasure.

The meaning of Shopkeeper Chen's words, Lu Ye also understood. is nothing more than wanting to tell himself that if there is any difficulty, Zhao Yan and Lu Yuanfeng will help him.

Moreover, maybe it was not just these two people, the disciples of the Yanxia Sect and the Luoyan Sect who were with them would naturally take care of Lu Ye.

Zhou Yuansheng's face could not hide his joy.

Regardless of Zhao Yan and Lu Yuanfeng's cultivation, just because of the background of these two people, no one dares to provoke them. If there are these two big backers, then there will be no man-made disasters on this trip to the secret realm - as long as he and the little master are not greedy.

Obviously, he is much more optimistic than Shopkeeper Chen.

Originally, Zhou Yuansheng was still worried that Lu Ye, a little master of the fourth layer of qi refining, would become a burden to himself, but now it's okay, if it weren't for the master, Zhao Yan and Lu Yuanfeng, they would definitely not take themselves too seriously.

Seeing the foggy place in front of him, Zhou Yuansheng was in a good mood.

The secret realm is close at hand.
