Chapter 272: Shushan Mutation
Lu Xuanzhi followed his master's orders to go to Qixingyan, not only because he had a silent personality and was steady, but also because he had opposed his master's decision many times.
Dongxu Zhenren didn't like this apprentice, so he took this opportunity to send Lu Xuanzhi to take care of the fairy flowers, and he was also quiet.
After listening to the words of this Sword Immortal Sect disciple, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Oops, how did I forget about this!"
Only then did he remember that his sunset flower had been given to Nangong Yan, but this ugly girl had no effect after using it, and wasted the fairy flower in vain.
Because of this, Yin Tiancheng decided to come to Shushan to participate in the Gathering Immortals Conference, because he heard that there was a sunset flower in the Sword Immortal Sect, so he decided to come to the cave to ask for one.
After he came, a series of unpleasant things happened one after another, and he saw clearly the person who was empty, so he never mentioned this matter.
Now hearing this disciple talk about the Xiyan flower, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly asked the other party to take him to Qixingyan to find Lu Xuanzhi to ask for the fairy flower.
How dare this disciple disobey, and immediately took Yin Tiancheng to Qixingyan.
There are dozens of large and small peaks in Shu Mountain, the peak where the Seven Star Rock is located is located in the southernmost part, Yin Tiancheng followed this young Sword Immortal Sect disciple all the way, only to see the mountains undulating, the high mountains and mountains are like dragons and tigers entrenched in the clouds and mist, the scenery is very spectacular.
He couldn't help but open his mouth and praise: "Shushan is really an outstanding person, no wonder your sword immortals have sent a lot of people, it turns out that they occupy a piece of feng shui treasure land." ”
The young man was also a little proud when he heard this, and nodded in response: "The Taoist has good eyesight, and I won't tell you, our Shu Mountain is the purest mountain in the world, and for thousands of years, I don't know how many monsters want to sneak into the mountains to steal the aura, but we have all driven them away." ”
Yin Tiancheng knew that what this disciple said was true, because along the way, he fully felt the wisps of aura floating in the wind, which was indeed different, and had a refreshing sense of comfort.
It's just that while he appreciates it, he also feels a little regretful in his heart.
The immortal cultivation world has always been strictly hierarchical, and there are many prejudices in the portal, most immortal cultivators regard the method of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth as a crooked way of evil sects, and regard the cultivation of the inner pill as the right way, so that the disciples of the Sword Immortal Sect are not exempt from vulgarity, and they do not absorb and use the precious aura of heaven and earth around them, but practice in retreat with one mind, which makes Yin Tiancheng feel that they are a bit violent and cruel.
He couldn't help but say proudly: "If I still haven't made much progress in my cultivation after repairing the Seven Spirits, it is better to come to Shushan to live for a while, maybe I can use the pure aura here to break through my own shackles." ”
Thinking all the way, before he knew it, Yin Tiancheng had come to the lonely peak where the Seven Star Rock was located, and when he reached the top of the mountain, the scene in front of him suddenly became clearer.
The top of the mountain was as flat as a large platform, surrounded by green grass, and in the middle stood a large boulder several feet high, and the top seemed to have been cut off with an extremely sharp giant sword, and it appeared extremely flat.
Next, Yin Tiancheng was speechless with some surprise, he didn't expect that the legendary Xiyan Flower would grow on this boulder.
Lu Xuanzhi and the others, who were taking care of the fairy flowers, were meditating beside the boulder, and when they saw that the junior brother had brought Yin Tiancheng over, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and quickly got up and asked.
It turned out that the master had been rejecting him, and he was sent here at the beginning of last month to take care of the fairy flowers, so he had never seen Yin Tiancheng, and at this moment, when he saw that the junior brother had brought a stranger to the top, he naturally had to come forward to interrogate him.
When the junior brother finished introducing Yin Tiancheng's origin to him, Lu Xuanzhi's face was suddenly moved, and he hurriedly gave the other party a big salute when the junior met the elder, and his tone of voice was also very humble.
Yin Tiancheng saw Lu Xuanzhi's elegant demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a little more good for him, and after a few words of greeting, he explained his intentions.
Lu Xuanzhi replied: "Since the seniors have asked for help, how dare the disciples refuse." However, the fairy flower is when it is ready to be released, and it is rash to pick it at this time, for fear that it will affect the wonderful use of the fairy flower. ”
Yin Tiancheng stared at it, and the situation was indeed as Lu Xuanzhi said, the sunset flower had not yet fully bloomed.
He didn't force it, so he said, "In that case, then the poor Dao will wait for a few days, and then come to you when the fairy flowers bloom." ”
"Senior He Lao will go up the mountain again, and when the fairy flowers are in full bloom, I will personally pick a few and send them to you. ”
Before Yin Tiancheng could say thank you, he felt the entire mountain tremble slightly, and he couldn't help frowning.
Lu Xuanzhi's face also changed, and he vaguely felt that the situation was a little abnormal.
At this time, a loud noise came from under the mountain peak, like a muffled thunder sounding underground.
Next, everyone on the summit saw a shocking scene.
Suddenly, a bloody light rose to the sky in the northeast, illuminating the entire sky, dyeing the white clouds in the sky as red as blood.
"How could something happen?"
Seeing this blood light rising into the sky, Yin Tiancheng and several disciples were moved, and everyone realized that some kind of unknown change had taken place under the ground of Shushan!
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Xuanzhi said with a worried face: "Could it be that the demon lurking in the depths of Shu Mountain is about to be born?"
"Second Senior Brother is right!" The disciple who accompanied Yin Tiancheng up the mountain said in a lost voice: "I don't know how many monsters in the world covet the aura of my Shu Mountain, if it is an old demon that has been hidden for thousands of years, it will be bad!"
Before going up the mountain, the young man had mentioned this kind of thing to Yin Tiancheng, and now an ominous blood light rose in the northeast, which seemed to verify his statement.
"I don't think it's like a demon was born. ”
Yin Tiancheng shook his head, not quite believing this disciple's statement, but this kind of abnormal change now is indeed a bit unusual, and it looks like a bad omen.
Another disciple asked, "What does the senior think is the reason?"
"Poor Dao doesn't know what's wrong, let's go over and take a look. Yin Tiancheng proposed.
But just as everyone was about to leave, Lu Xuanzhi's eyes were shocked, and he pointed to the sunset flower on the boulder and shouted, "Oh no, the fairy flower is going to wither!"
Yin Tiancheng was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, as Lu Xuanzhi said, the color of the sunset flowers that were like gold was gradually fading, and even the tall branches were hanging down, and it didn't take much effort, and a few fairy flowers became lifeless.
At this moment, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they all realized that this kind of abnormal change was likely to pose a huge threat to Shushan.
"It seems that Shushan is really in trouble. Yin Tiancheng stared at the blood light and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be afraid, there is a poor way here, and you will definitely be able to resolve this catastrophe." ”
As if confirming Yin Tiancheng's words, as soon as his words fell, a continuous roar sounded from the ground, and then the entire Shushan shook with it.
All of a sudden, Shushan, which was originally a beautiful mountain, suddenly came out of unsettling black gas everywhere, and where the black gas had eroded, all the vegetation began to wither like the sunset flowers, and the heaven and earth were lifeless, making people seem to have turned the entire Shushan into a hell on earth in a short period of time.
The strange blood light became more and more dazzling, and after a while, the hurricane whistled in the sky, blowing the sound of hunting and hunting, and everyone almost couldn't stand on their feet.
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's over, this time our Shushan is going to suffer a catastrophe!"
Lu Xuanzhi and the others were extremely panicked, and there was fear in their eyes.
"You are all immortal cultivators, are you still afraid of demons?" Yin Tiancheng shouted, calmly observing the movements around him.
Suddenly, he found a clue from it, that is, the direction of the demon wind blowing was all southwest, and this happened to be the opposite of the place where the blood light appeared, as if all the demon wind was blowing out of the blood light.
Yin Tiancheng suddenly woke up and realized that the bleeding light was a trick, and the guy who caused the chaos was hiding somewhere in the southwest corner of Shu Mountain.
He is deliberately trying to confuse everyone, which shows that the vision before him is only the beginning, and that the hateful fellow will surely create even more chaos in order to achieve his ulterior purpose!
Yin Tiancheng hurriedly told everyone the truth, the disciples were panicked when they heard it, how dare they delay time, Lu Xuanzhi immediately led the way in front, and everyone rushed towards the peaks in the southwest.
Along the way, the panicked disciples who kept encountering them ran out to check the source of the chaos, and after listening to Yin Tiancheng's explanation, they all followed him to the southwest.
In the end, Liang Jiuchuan also came with the immortal cultivators from Cangzhou, and everyone gathered together, vowing to find out this bastard and correct him on the spot.
While running, Yin Tiancheng suddenly found an unusual problem, and he hurriedly asked Lu Xuanzhi in front of him: "There are three peaks in the southwest, what method should we use to find out where that guy is hiding?"
Lu Xuanyi heard that it was difficult, if the mountain peaks were searched one by one, it was likely to delay time, and even if the chaotic maker was caught at that time, he was afraid that his plot had succeeded.
Liang Jiuchuan said beside him: "Why don't we divide the team into three, search for a mountain peak each, and once we find the trace of the thief, we will shoot signal arrows to notify the other two teams." ”
The signal arrow is a feather arrow with fireworks tied to the shaft, and after it is ignited and shot, a dazzling fireworks will bloom in the sky, which can be seen by the entire Shushan people, and it is perfect to use it to transmit messages.
But Yin Tiancheng unexpectedly shook his head and refused, and then explained to everyone: "The guy who can make this big move, his cultivation is extremely profound, if he is touched by me, it is not a big problem to capture him on the spot, but if he is discovered by others, I am afraid that by the time we arrive at the scene, that guy has already killed people and fled." ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt that Yin Tiancheng's words were not unreasonable, and Liang Jiuchuan couldn't help but say in frustration: "Senior, then what do you say?"
"I can't think of anything good to do for the time being......"
Before he finished speaking, Yin Tiancheng's eyes lit up, as if he had sensed something, he quickly stopped, and his eyes closed slightly.
Everyone was a little surprised, and they all stopped moving forward and gathered towards Yin Tiancheng.
At this time, Yin Tiancheng opened his eyes, and in the face of everyone's confused eyes, he smiled and said, "Hehe, no matter how cunning this thief is, he can't hide it from my eyes!"
"So, the seniors found out where the thieves were hiding?"
"Yes. Yin Tiancheng stretched out his hand and said to everyone: "Don't just run, look at the surrounding trees, what are the abnormalities?"
After such a reminder, everyone hurriedly looked around, and suddenly their mouths were about to close in surprise.
At some point, the branches of all the trees turned in a southwesterly direction, and a large amount of gas rose between the branches and leaves, which were mixed with the strong wind and condensed into wisps of mist-like gas, which looked very strange.
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Xuanzhi was taken aback, and his face was cloudy.
Yin Tiancheng said in a deep voice: "You don't know, this is all the precious aura contained in Shu Mountain, if the poor Dao is not mistaken, this guy wants to absorb the essence of the entire Shu Mountain, in order to increase his cultivation!"
Others couldn't detect the mystery in this, but Yin Tiancheng had long been proficient in the cultivation method of absorbing the essence of all things, so he could peek through these strange phenomena to see the truth behind the chaos.
By the time Yin Tiancheng told the truth, everyone couldn't keep their composure.
"I really didn't expect that we had such a powerful monster hidden in Shushan, and we must not let him escape, otherwise there will be endless trouble. One of the disciples said as he wiped the cold sweat from his face.
Another disciple said, "How can he absorb this amount of energy aura, isn't he afraid of dying?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid you're talking too little, this demon won't give up if he doesn't suck up the aura of the entire Shu Mountain!" Yin Tiancheng replied coldly.
Everyone was frightened when they heard it, but they also knew that Yin Tiancheng was not alarmist, but no one wanted to believe that this was the truth.
If what Yin Tiancheng said is true, it means that Shushan will not see any flowers and trees, birds and beasts in the future, and it will become a lifeless world.
But something even more terrifying will happen, that is, Shushan, which has lost the support of aura, is likely to completely collapse and never exist again.
Everyone was immediately indignant and vowed to break this demon into pieces.
Now that Yin Tiancheng has explained the truth of the matter, it has become much easier to search for the hiding place of that old demon next, all the aura has drifted to a certain point in the southwest, and everyone can find his hiding place accurately as long as they follow the trail.
Running all the way, everyone went up a mountain peak, and suddenly saw the aura converging into a clump somewhere below the top of the mountain, forming something like a whirlpool and tumbling endlessly.
Lu Xuanzhi's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "I know where the demon is hiding!"
Everyone turned their eyes on him, only to hear Lu Xuanzhi say in a trembling voice: "There is a bottomless hole under the top of the mountain, I heard the master say that it is a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter it without permission, and those who violate it will be severely punished." ”
Sun Quan immediately scolded when he heard this: "Damn, this monster is really good at picking places, no wonder no one has found it." ”
"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for!"
Yin Tiancheng's eyes were cold, and he took the lead in rushing up, and the others also followed, for fear that this monster would quietly flee after noticing that everyone was chasing him.
