Chapter 70: The Only Fight to the Death
The north wind is cool, and the rain and snow are cold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Hui and good me, hand in hand. It is both false and evil......
In the middle of summer, there is no trace of the durian moon. As described in the poem "The North Wind", I don't know how many mortals fled with their relatives and friends in the cold wind. And this catastrophe is not caused by the destruction of the country, but from the will of heaven, but it is the embodiment of the ruthlessness of heaven.
However, in the face of the impending catastrophe, there are always people who will fight desperately and are unwilling to stand still. In the Langkun Mountains, which stretches for more than 3,000 miles, the highest Lanxia Peak is still in order, as if it is a paradise in the last days.
It is only because the monks who cultivate immortals in order to seek immortality all understand that heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Since in the eyes of heaven and earth, man is the same as other living beings. Then, as a person born with spiritual intelligence, you must have the effort to fight against fate, otherwise you will really be indistinguishable from the unintelligent livestock.
Since the opening of the Heavenly Road on May 15 and its retreat, all the monks of the Shenxiao Dao Sect have been making unremitting efforts to avoid robbery all the time. And at this moment, Xiao Yun is also shouldering a heavy responsibility, leading the three hundred carefully selected in the sect, all of whom are elite Qi cultivation disciples under the age of sixteen, and stick to the last mountain protection array day and night.
At this time, Lanxia Peak has already laid out thirty-six mountain protection arrays, what Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, Liangyi Micro Dust Great Array, Reverse Five Elements Great Array, etc., it is simply a tight set of rings. However, the tens of thousands of monks of the Shenxiao Dao Sect were all uplifted and ready for battle, just waiting for the arrival of the six great tribulations in early June predicted by the ancestors.
But the great tribulation in the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao will naturally not be too hesitant to come because of the monks' resistance. As day after day passed, the heavens and the earth became more and more depressed, and in the cold and even more violent winds, the mortal earth was full of fear of all spirits, grass and trees.
As a result, countless spiritual creatures that could not be found with any effort were completely the same as those ordinary beasts that could not be found all day long. It turned out to be a purposeless wolf, but he didn't know where he had to run to find a way out.
And the mortals in the dozens of villages near Lanxia Peak have now gathered hundreds of people kneeling outside the mountain gate of the Shenxiao Dao Sect. I only hope that the living gods can let them go up to Lanxia Peak, a fairy mountain that can save their lives, and swear that their children and grandchildren will be slaves and servants, and they only want to be sheltered.
With this gradually revealing apocalyptic anomaly, more mortals are driven to madness. As a result, some people began to commit suicide in despair, and even more wantonly slaughtered the weak and weak of their own kind after madness, and finally had to be exterminated by the more powerful kind. The despicability of human nature before the end of the world is also vividly revealed.
Xiao Yun, who was standing in the center of the thirty-six mountain protection arrays and in front of the gate of the Shenxiao Great Palace, looked at the shocking and silent world outside Lanxia Peak. Such a world killing game that only wants to make people crazy can't help but make the young man's heart cold. Xiao Yun couldn't figure out what was going on in this world, and why there was this catastrophe that wiped out all living beings.
Xiao Yun was placed in the innermost mountain protection array by his master to lead three hundred Qi cultivation disciples, so he naturally understood that this nominal task was actually a protective move. But Xiao Yun is grateful but also unwilling, isn't the doomsday chaos between heaven and earth the best time for him to experience?
Xiao Yun, who only wants to gain more power, is actually not very afraid of death. Although I am grateful to the master for this deliberate act that is similar to protection, I also want to be able to do my part in this crisis when everyone needs to help the most. But he did not know that no matter where he, the person who should be doomed, he would definitely be in calamity......
And Li Xin'er, the little girl beside Xiao Yun, is different from the senior brother who only wants to go to the outermost part of the sect's formation to fight bloodily. At this moment, the little girl has lost her innocent and smiling appearance in the past, and the little person's big phoenix eyes are full of tears. The soft sobs that appear from time to time undoubtedly illustrate the sadness in Li Xin'er's heart at the moment.
Li Xin'er, who is only nine and a half years old, is not a hard-working baby like Xiao Yun and Wu Huan. Since she was a child, she has been the eldest lady of the four major Xiuzhen families of Shunguo and the Li family. After coming to Shenxiao Dao Sect, he also directly became a high-ranking disciple because of his grandfather, and he was even more favored by his master, and he undoubtedly grew up in a honeypot.
The little girl who was surprised to see the end of the world at this moment was inevitably worried and anxious for the relatives who were still in Qingling Castle. But now that Lanxia Peak, which is as sealed as an iron bucket and has to add dozens of steel hoops, even if he can be released, it is obviously impossible to return to his hometown after trekking tens of thousands of miles safely in this chaotic mortal realm.
"Senior brother, Xiao Xin'er is so scared, my father and mother will be fine at home, right?" The helpless little girl snuggled up to Xiao Yun tightly, holding her brother's arm and repeatedly asking what she was most worried about, as if only Xiao Yun beside him could give him a sense of security.
"Xiao Xin'er is not afraid, Senior Brother will always protect you. After the sixth day of the sixth month of June, if there is no major disaster, Senior Brother will escort you home to pick up your relatives, okay?"
Xiao Yun looked at the little junior sister's pitiful fragile appearance, but he didn't pity it in his heart. How could a young man who had a tragic change in his family not understand the grief of losing his loved ones? So Xiao Yun, who thought of his own tragic fate, hated this thief who had always treated him harshly, and he became even more and more mad.
"Xiao Xin'er is not afraid, when the time comes, the senior sister will also accompany you, it is useless to be anxious now. As a cultivator, we will always encounter all kinds of calamities, but as long as we persist in getting through them, we will be able to open up the sea and the sky. ”
Wu Huan, who led the three hundred Qi cultivation disciples with Xiao Yun, also hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the little girl. It can be seen that this girl who has just learned to be jealous, even if she doesn't like Li Xin'er pestering her brother Yun, she also has a heart of compassion, which this kind person must have.
Perhaps the words and deeds of these three teenagers who cared for and comforted each other before the end of the world were also one of the inevitable reactions of human nature. It's just that such a kind and beautiful side is really too cherished and rare in this red dust, and more of it is actually the madness that is happening outside Lanxia Peak, and it is killing each other for no reason.
With the gradual passage of time, the three brothers and sisters of Xiao Yun were in the safest place on this Lanxia Peak, but they were tired, nervous, sad, angry and other chaotic emotions, and they also ushered in the last day before the catastrophe, the fifth day of the first month of June.
The mortal realm on the day before the end of the day was already like a ghost realm, and in the hottest season of the year, there were three feet of ice everywhere outside the Lanxia Peak protected by the Great Array, and the source of light that should have been high in the sky did not know where it went, only the endless cold wind, roaring in the dark sky.
The three of Xiao Yun, who had been here for a full twenty days, ushered in the old ancestor and Lei Yuanzi who had not seen each other in these days in the dark. Obviously, for the impending catastrophe of heaven and earth, the heads of the three sects have a new arrangement.
Sure enough, after the three of them respectfully saw it, Lei Yuanzi immediately explained: "Yun'er, tomorrow this catastrophe will be known, and all the blessings and disasters are unpredictable. At that time, the teacher and the ancestor will not be able to take care of you, Yun'er, you will definitely try your best to protect the two junior sisters, can you do it?"
"Master, even if Yun'er is shattered, she will not let the junior sisters have the slightest surprise!"
"This is very good! You must know that the three of you are the future of the sect, so the teacher has always placed you here. Today, the teacher and the ancestors are here, but there are still important things to entrust to you, and they will go into the hall with the teacher to tell. ”
Xiao Yun hurriedly agreed when he heard the master's order, and immediately followed closely behind the two elders into the Shenxiao Palace. After the two Supreme Elders set up a silent barrier, they saw Chongxiao Zhenjun nodding slightly at Lei Yuanzi, and then the strong and powerful words of the purple-robed old man sounded.
"Yun'er, I have been discussing carefully with your two elders for a few days. In order not to cause our sect to suddenly encounter force majeure and cause the inheritance to be broken, I decided to entrust you with a heavy task related to the continuation of my sect. Yun'er, you must first swear that you will never reveal this matter and everything related to outsiders in this life. ”
Xiao Yun saw that the master said so seriously, and the ancestor who liked to laugh with him the most on weekdays also had a straight face, only to feel that his heart was suddenly heavy. But Xiao Yun didn't dare to speculate, and immediately made an oath with his true soul that he would never leak it.
"I, Xiao Yun, hereby swear that no matter when and where I am, I will never mention today's events without the permission of my master! If I violate this oath, I will not enter reincarnation even if I die, and my true soul will dissipate between heaven and earth!"
Seeing that his lover was so resolute, Lei Yuanzi regretted asking Xiao Yun to make such a poisonous oath. At this time, Lao Dao actually groaned, as if he was afraid that the young beloved disciple would be unbearable after accepting this overburdened task.
Chongxiao Zhenjun, who clearly saw the respective expressions of the master and apprentice in his eyes, how could he not understand the scruples in Lei Yuanzi's heart. After a little silence, he had a language to Lei Yuan.
"Xiao Kun, although you have to plan for the worst in everything, entrusting this matter to Xiao Yunzi is not necessarily completely bad. What's more, do you have a more trustworthy and trustworthy Qi cultivation disciple than Xiao Yunzi?"
Lei Yuanzi heard Uncle Shi's words, and after thinking silently for a moment, he immediately sighed and said, "Uncle Shi is right, this matter is not a bad thing, and only Yun'er can take on this important responsibility." Yun'er, come to the teacher's side. ”
Xiao Yun looked at the expressions on the faces of the old ancestor and the master, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart. Now the two elders in front of him can be regarded as Xiao Yun's dearest relatives, and the young man's entrustment of the old ancestor and master to such a solemn matter will inevitably not be cranky and a little afraid in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Yun, who was a little panicked for no reason, heard the words of the master, and hurriedly walked to Lei Yuanzi. I saw that the old Taoist detective took out a purple shining spirit treasure from the Qiankun bag, but it was a large compass made of purple yang spirit chalcedony, and then Lei Yuanzi handed this treasure to Xiao Yun.
"Yun'er, this is the most important spiritual treasure of my Shenxiao Dao Sect, called Ziyang Tianyanpan. This treasure has neither offensive ability nor defensive power, it is a Sumeru treasure that can travel through the chaos of the void, and it has only one of the most critical uses. That is, with this treasure, you can freely enter and exit the Shenxiao Cave Heaven that has been inherited by my Shenxiao Dao Sect for tens of thousands of years. And this inheritance space opened up by the great power of the ancestors of the sect in the void outside the mortal realm is enough to accommodate the three hundred of you to live and practice in it. And there is the Taoist inheritance of our sect in the cave, as well as various treasures over the years, which is the most important inheritance place of our sect. ”
Xiao Yun was shocked when he heard this, and immediately held up the Ziyang Tianyan Plate with both hands and put it in front of Lei Yuanzi, and said even more eagerly: "Master, why did you hand over such an important treasure to me? Isn't it safer for you to keep it personally?"
"Xiao Yunzi, don't worry, your master hasn't finished speaking, it's not too late for you to listen to it before making a decision. Chong Xiao Zhenjun was shocked when he saw Xiao Yun, and hurriedly spoke out to comfort the frightened young man.
And Lei Yuanzi saw the panicked look of his beloved disciple, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and continued: "As a teacher, I also know that it is too heavy for you to keep such a inheritance treasure now, but this is also a matter of no choice. Yun'er, don't panic first, wait for the teacher to tell you the details. ”
Speaking of this, Lei Yuanzi groaned slightly, and then continued to speak: "Because tomorrow's catastrophe will come, the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, if it is unfortunate to suffer a catastrophe, the three of them can only fight with all their might, and they are no longer able to take into account the safety of their disciples. And the three hundred young elite Qi cultivation disciples under your command are the hope that my sect will be able to recover after the catastrophe. Therefore, if the sect is broken when the catastrophe arrives tomorrow, you must lead the three hundred elite qi cultivation disciples under your command to avoid the Shenxiao Cave Heaven, leaving some hope for my sect to continue. ”
Hearing Shizun say this, Xiao Yun was even more panicked, and immediately asked in a trembling voice: "Master, I'm just practicing Qi realm, why don't you choose an elder with advanced virtue to be in charge of this matter?"
But Xiao Yun's words made Chong Xiao Zhenjun sigh, and he seemed to be very worried about Xiao Yun's simple thinking. Immediately, in a serious tone, he explained the reason for such a choice to the young man.
"Xiao Yunzi, not to mention that the elders who are too old cannot grow together with your three hundred elite disciples, and those who surpass too many of you in the realm are not the best choice to undertake this matter. You must know that people's hearts are the most fickle, if we old guys have been killed when the catastrophe comes, then the elders who have no constraints have a peerless opportunity ahead, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not give birth to different aspirations. In this way, you three hundred children who carry the hope of the continuation of my sect and Dao system, I am afraid that there will be more and less luck!"
"Yun'er, what the old ancestor said is the old opinion, you must remember that this person's heart is the most unpredictable truth. If you really want to carry out this last step of avoiding the Divine Cave Heaven, then you are the new head of our sect. In the future, Yun'er should also observe the character of the three hundred disciples more, and choose pure and good people to teach the inheritance of the sect, so that my sect can really have hope of recovery, remember!"
Xiao Yun listened to the words of the two closest elders, as if they were about to say goodbye, and his emotions suddenly fluctuated sharply. At this moment, the young man's purple-red eyes not only showed tears, but also had a strong reluctance and sadness to the extreme.
Seeing Xiao Yun's true feelings revealed, the two veteran powerhouses at the peak of the Yuan Infant were also secretly sad. But this is the most important thing about the continuation of the Dao system, and the two of them only trust the affectionate young man in front of them, and they have to entrust the burden on Xiao Yunna's still immature shoulders.
After ten breaths, Xiao Yun, who was still silently crying, seemed to think of something, and then asked very unwillingly: "Old Ancestor, Master, why don't you lead us into the Shenxiao Cave Heaven to avoid the calamity?
At this time, I heard Lei Yuanzi shouting loudly: "Yes! Only fight to the death! If we flee without a fight, then who of the tens of thousands of monks in the sect will fight to the death? I am afraid that the way of life that can be obtained through the struggle will also be lost." ”
And Chong Xiao Zhenjun, who is usually the most unorthodox old naughty boy, immediately stood up and shouted: "My generation of monks cultivates the Dao Heart, so there is a choice to flee without a fight? No matter how big the killing and robbery is, you can't destroy the Dao Heart, you can only ......fight to the death."
