In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on this inconspicuous disciple of the Great Bamboo Peak, and Tian Buyi glanced at Su Ru, who smiled slightly and nodded.

Da Zhufeng, everyone was smiling, and they all came around, Lu Daxin patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, I can't see that you are so lucky!"

Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head and stuck out his tongue, his heart had changed from surprise at the beginning to surprise. Du Bishu on the side suddenly patted his head regretfully and said: "I knew who should have won this lottery just now to make a bet, hehe, it must be a big upset!"

"Go, go, go," Tian Ling'er smacked him, turned his head and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, it's useless for you to enter the second round anyway, it's better to sign this to me!"

Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect his senior sister to say this, and was stunned for a moment: "Oh", and handed over the note with "one" written on it.

Song Daren's face changed slightly, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Little junior sister, don't mess around." ”

Tian Ling'er smiled "poof", her face was as bright as a peach blossom like jade, her cheeks were slightly red, she stretched out her fingers like green onions, and flicked it lightly on Zhang Xiaofan's forehead and said, "Little fool, I'm joking with you." ”

Zhang Xiaofan blinked and laughed.

At this time, the elder's side of Cangsong Daoren frowned, and then said loudly: "Okay, since the lottery has been completed, all the disciples will come to me later, press the signing number, and the registration number will be posted on the red list later, and you will know who your opponent is." Now the head brother speaks. ”

Originally, the disciples who were a little noisy heard that the head of Dao Xuanzhen was going to come out to speak, and they all fell silent.

Dao Xuan Zhenren stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the front of everyone, glanced at the disciples, and then said, "Everyone, you are all the young generation of my Qingyun Sect, and your qualifications and talents are all outstanding. In the future, the position of the head of the Qingyun Sect, the elders, and even me, the head of the sect, is likely to be filled by the best of you. ”

The disciples of Qingyun shook for a while, and many of their faces showed yearning and excitement.

Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled kindly and said, "Of course, if you want to reach this step and sit in the position of these first elders behind me, you still need to work harder. ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren covered his long beard with his hand and nodded, and said: "I, Qingyun Sect, have always been famous and righteous since the Qingyunzi Patriarch established the sect, and now I am the leader of the righteous path of cultivating the true path in the world. Fang went down the right path today, prospered, and the evil demons retreated, and the people of the world enjoyed peace in peace. But the remnants of the Demon Dao are sinister and vicious, and their hearts are not dead, and they seem to have a stupid tendency over the years, and at this time, it is even more necessary for us and other people in the righteous path to hold the Dao, so you must concentrate on cultivating the Tao and strengthen your mind, as long as we are strong and self-reliant, then there will be no gaps in the evil demons and the outer way!"

The disciples shouted, "Follow the instructions of the master!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled and said, "Okay." In addition, I would like to announce to you that in order to encourage the disciples of Qingyunmen to work hard to cultivate the Dao, I discussed it with the first elders, and decided to start with this Seven Veins Martial Arts, and give a small reward to the final winner every time after the Seven Veins Martial Arts Test. ”

"Ah!!" there was a stir among the Qingyun disciples.

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at these young disciples and smiled: "This time, the prize is the '** mirror'. ”

"What is it?" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of this thing, and couldn't help but look around, but saw that Tian Ling'er, Du Bishu and others were also at a loss, but the young disciples of the other veins around him didn't seem to know very well.

However, disciples such as Qi Hao, Song Daren, Min and other disciples who had been in the beginners for a long time changed their faces, showing rare excitement and yearning.

Tian Ling'er and the others also noticed at this time that Senior Brother and the others seemed to know something, leaned over and asked quietly, "What is the Senior Brother ** Mirror?"

Song Daren said in a low voice: "** Mirror is the magic weapon handed down by the tenth generation patriarch of this sect, Wu Fangzi Zhenren, I have never seen the specific appearance, but I have heard the master say before, this is one of the treasures of this sect, the power is extremely powerful, and there is a wonderful place, as long as the caster's spiritual power is strong enough, the ** mirror can be counter-shè qiē attack, so as to be invincible." ”

Everyone opened their mouths wide, and Du Bishu stammered a little: "Then, isn't that invincible in the world?"

Song Daren shrugged his shoulders and said: "Anyway, I don't know exactly what it looks like, but what Master said will not be wrong this time" He glanced at Dao Xuan Zhenren and lowered his voice and said: "It seems that this time the head and the master seem to have made a lot of money!"

Everyone's faces were a little strange, and most of them seemed to be secretly swallowing their saliva, it seemed that the treasures were in front of them, even the cultivators would inevitably be greatly moved.

Dao Xuan Zhenren paused for a while, smiled and watched the young disciples discuss, and after a while, he said: "Okay, that's basically the case, you go back and take a rest, and the Seven Veins Martial Arts will start the competition early in the morning." ”

The Qingyun disciples saluted in unison and said in unison: "It's the real person in charge." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

All the disciples gradually retreated, and only the head of the seven veins of Qingyunmen and a dozen elders were left in the main hall.

Dao Xuan Zhenren turned around and smiled at those elders and said, "Senior brothers, you should also go back and rest earlier!

Some of those elders were full of white hair and wrinkles, and some of them looked so young that they were very young, and they didn't say much at this moment, so they walked out one by one, and in the end, only the first seat of the seven veins of Qingyunmen was left in the Yuqing Palace.

Dao Xuan Zhenren slowly put away the kind smile he had been hanging on his face, his gaze swept over the other six people sitting in the chair, and said lightly: "Okay, now there are only seven of us." ”

Shang Zhengliang, the first seat of "Chaoyang Peak" sitting on the right, frowned and said, "Senior Brother Boss, do you have anything to say to us?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded, and said slowly with an expressionless face: "I went to see Lingzun just now. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

Walking down the steps, the disciples were still trembling when they passed by the edge of the blue water pool, but this time, the water qilin fell asleep peacefully, and there was no movement anymore.

After crossing the Hongqiao Bridge and returning to the huge square of the "Sea of Clouds", which was like a fairyland, Lin Jingyu said a few words to Zhang Xiaofan, and then went with the disciples of Longshoufeng.

Zhang Xiaofan watched him walk away before walking back to Dazhufeng, and listening to Song Daren say some precautions to everyone and the accommodation situation to be stayed, Zhang Xiaofan listened and listened, and suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Oops!

Everyone was taken aback, Tian Ling'er stood beside him and said, "What's wrong with Xiaofan?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked around and said hurriedly: "I just forgot about Xiao Ash when I was talking to Jing Yu just now, and now I don't know where he ran to?"

Only then did everyone remember that they had not noticed the trace of the gray-haired monkey, and then they all looked around, only to see the white clouds and the disciples of each vein gradually dispersed, but there was no shadow of the monkey and the little gray.

Zhang Xiaofan was in a hurry, since he brought Xiao Ash back from the valley two years ago, in the past two years, one person and one monkey (later added a big dog and rhubarb) lived in the same house, and the feelings were very deep.

Zhang Xiaofan was in a hurry, and suddenly heard Tian Ling'er on the other side, "Huh", turned his head to look, and saw Tian Ling'er smiling, pointing to the front and laughing: "Look." ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh dumbly, only to see Xiao Ash sitting quietly on the back of the big yellow dog that Tian was not easy to raise, "squeaking" in his mouth, waving his monkey paws to Zhang Xiaofan, and the big yellow dog running here closed his mouth tightly, and actually bit a meat bone that he got out of nowhere.

Not long after, Rhubarb ran to him with Xiao Ash on his back, and Xiao Ash jumped on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder three times and two times, Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly touched his monkey head, pretended to be angry, and said, "Where did you go?"

Xiao Ash was not afraid, and grinned and pointed to the rhubarb that was lying on the ground gnawing meat and bones, and the "squeak" sound was more than squeaking.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at it for a long time and suddenly said, "Where did this meat and bone come from?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ash was again a comparison, and at the same time pointed to the end of the square, Zhang Xiaofan looked at Song Daren, only to see Song Daren quickly looked around, his face was quite embarrassed and funny, and he lowered his voice and whispered: "There is the kitchen where the disciples of the Nagato eat." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed and shook their heads, Song Daren took the lead and walked to the other side, and said: "Let's also go to the dormitory where we rest!" By the way, junior sister, you are a woman, and you have arranged for you to live with Xiaozhufeng's junior sisters, do you have no opinion?"

Tian Ling'er shook her head and smiled: "I originally wanted to chat with Sister Min a few more words, and at the same time, I can help Senior Brother you say a few more good words!"

Everyone laughed, Song Daren's face turned red, pretending not to hear, and strode out, and everyone behind him laughed and talked.

Zhang Xiaofan, who walked at the end, didn't participate in it, but glared at the gray monkey on his shoulder and said, "After the dead monkey, you will run to be a thief and see how I treat you." ”

Xiao Ash squeaked a few times, grinned, and didn't know if he didn't understand it!

Zhang Xiaofan scolded him a few more words, walked forward a few steps, remembered something, turned his head and said loudly: "Let's go, the dead dog knows how to eat 1."

Rhubarb, who was lying on the ground and gnawing on the meat bones, finally raised his eyes and saw that everyone had walked away, so he stood up, picked up the meat bones that had eaten half of them, and chased lazily.

The first seat of the seven veins of the Qingyun Gate of the Jade Qing Hall gathered here, and at this time, their attention was attracted by the Dao Xuan Zhenren.

The first Tianyun Dao person of "Luoxia Peak" stood up first and said, "Senior Brother in charge, can you see what happened to Lingzun just now?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed and said slowly, "I have carefully inspected the Spirit Venerable, and there is nothing unusual. ”

"What?" said each of the first seats, their faces fluttering with surprise.

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at these fellow disciples and said, "That's true, I've watched Lingzun a few times over and over again, and I really can't figure out why he suddenly had such a big anger, but it disappeared so quickly.1

Tian Buyi pondered for a moment and said, "I see that the target of Lingzun's attack seems to be a group of young disciples, could it be that someone is angry with him?"

"Little Bamboo Peak" The first Water Moon Master said: "It's impossible, if it's really a disciple who is angry with Lingzun, how can Lingzun give up under a blow?"

Shui Yue is quite beautiful, but as soon as she spoke, her voice was cold, as if she had a hint of coldness, and Tian Bu glanced at her and stopped talking.

Dao Xuan Zhenren shook his head and said, "Lingzun is an ancient spirit beast, and it has never been so sudden abnormal for thousands of years, and there must be a reason for this. ”

Sitting on the left side of the "Fenghui Peak", the first two temples were frosty white, and among the seven people present, Uncle Zeng, who looked the most old, often said: "Could it be that the senior brother in charge has a conclusion in his heart?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed lightly and said, "I don't know if I don't hide it from you. But the Spirit Venerable is my Qingyunmen Zhenshan Spirit Beast, which is not trivial, but I originally wanted to use the 'Spiritism' of this sect to find out, but unexpectedly, ......."

Speaking of this, Dao Xuan Zhenren suddenly stopped, and the people next to him listened to half of it, and suddenly heard him stop talking, Tian Buyi first asked: "What's wrong with the senior brother in charge?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren said with embarrassment: "This spiritism is a side skill, but I can communicate with Lingzun a little, but when I was about to use it, Lingzun was already asleep, and I couldn't do it." ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Dao Xuan Zhenren coughed dryly twice and said: "Don't worry about this matter, we will discuss it in the long run after Lingzun wakes up." And there is one more thing I want to discuss with you at the moment. ”

When everyone saw Dao Xuan's real face, it seemed that it was not a trivial matter, and they all put away their smiles and sat down.

Dao Xuan Zhenren also sat back in his seat and muttered for a while before saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know that there is a 'Empty Mulberry Mountain' three thousand miles away in the east?" (Note 1)

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the Cangsong Daoist first came back to his senses and said: "What the senior brother in charge said is the empty mulberry mountain with the 'Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves'?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Uncle Zeng often frowned and said: "I heard that the 'Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave' is a natural giant cave that goes straight into the ground, which is unfathomable, cold and wet, only countless bats are born in it, and it is said that there are millions of them. How could Senior Brother of this barren land bring it up?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren said slowly: "You don't know, although this Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave seems to be not close to humans and animals, it was an important stronghold of the Demon Sect eight hundred years ago. The cold and dampness in that ancient cave is just right for those evil demons to cultivate demon methods. Later, under the siege and suppression of my righteous people, the Demon Sect was defeated and retreated, and this place was deserted. ”

Master Shuiyue said coldly: "What does it mean that Senior Brother in charge of the sect is mentioning it again at this moment?"

Shui Yue's attitude towards Dao Xuan can be said to be quite unfriendly, but everyone here knows that Master Shui Yue has always spoken like this to people.

Dao Xuan Zhenren didn't care either, only sighed and said: "Senior Sister Shuiyue didn't know, just half a year ago, I got a copy of the Incense Valley, saying that there seemed to be signs of demon sect remnant activities near the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave recently, and asked for my opinion. ”

Chaoyang Fengshang Zhengliang smiled when he heard this: "Isn't this good, Xiao Yicai's master and nephew are talented, and he is a leader in the Qingyun Sect, and he is even more successful in the first session of the Seven Veins Martial Arts Examination." What else can't be done with him?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled slightly and said: "Senior Brother Shang has a good reputation, but Yi only went to Kongsang Mountain, and a few months later, he came back with a message, saying that he did find that there were people in the Demon Sect who were operating near the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves, and their purpose was even more amazing. ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Uncle Zeng often said, "What?"

Dao Xuanzhen's face was calm, and he couldn't see any joy or sorrow, and said: "According to Yi Cai's letter, he captured a demon sect disciple, and forced the people to ask from his mouth, it turned out that the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave was the headquarters of the 'Blood Refining Hall' of a tribe in the Demon Sect eight hundred years ago, and at that time, the Blood Refining Hall was strong and was one of the five major forces of the Demon Sect, but after being defeated by my righteous path ancestors, it collapsed, and the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave was also abandoned. ”

"But I don't know why, in recent years, the Blood Refining Hall, which has been in decline for a long time, seems to have signs of raising its head, and in the Blood Refining Hall, it is said that in the battle of the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves, although the main characters of the Blood Refining Hall were all ambushed under the sword of my righteous people, but in the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves, there is a very hidden treasure cave, which contains many rare treasures, demon books, and evil scrolls, and has never been discovered. ”

Speaking of which, everyone has already understood, and Cangsong Daoren sneered and said, "The evil demon is crooked, and he is delusional!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, as far as I know, after the battle eight hundred years ago, the righteous people did not find any secret cave treasure troves in the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves. The rest is fine, but if there is really this treasure cave, I am afraid that there will be a big evil thing in it, but we must guard against it. ”

Everyone looked at Dao Xuan, and Tianyun Dao said, "Senior brother, what kind of fierce thing are you referring to, so important?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at the people around him and said in a deep voice: "Blood Devouring Bead!"

Everyone was shocked, and Cangsong Dao was surprised: "Didn't this murderous thing disappear with the death of the black-hearted old man a long time ago?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren shook his head and said, "Otherwise, although the black-hearted old man is dead, the blood devouring bead may not be lost in the world." It seems that such a great evil thing and other idle people can't master the Demon Sect, and if the demon is not cultivated enough, it is not known to collect it. Moreover, the black-hearted old man was born in the Blood Refining Hall of the Demon Sect, so I speculate that it is likely that the Blood Devouring Bead is in this secret cave. ”

Everyone was silent for a while when they heard Dao Xuan Zhenren's words, but it was the cold Shuiyue Master who spoke: "What does the head senior brother mean?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren: "After I received Yicai's message, I immediately informed the Incense Valley and Tianyin Temple, and soon the two major sects also replied that they would also send proud disciples to Kongsang Mountain to stop the demon sect evildoers from holding the Dao hoe. ”

Tian Buyi frowned and said, "What does the senior brother in charge mean......"

Dao Xuan Zhenren said with a smile on his face: "Speaking of which, this is also a rare opportunity to practice, although there are many young talents in my Qingyun Sect, most of them have not gone out to practice, and the world has been stable over the years, and they have never confronted the demon sect and demons. Taking advantage of this opportunity of the Seven Veins Martial Arts, I plan to send the top four young disciples to Kongsang Mountain together, on the one hand, to stop the Demon Sect and demons from going perverse, and on the other hand, to experience and gain a long insight. And ......"

He put away his smile and turned to stern sù and said, "Moreover, I heard that in the past hundred years, Tianyin Temple and Incense Valley have produced several outstanding disciples with outstanding talents, and we can sit idly by and ignore them, I am afraid that in the future, the status of this righteous path leader will be difficult to protect." If that's the case, I Dao Xuan, I don't have the shame to go to see the patriarch of the next generation!"

Cangsong Daoren, the head of the www.biquge.info of the Pavilion, said first: "Senior brother in charge is far-sighted, and he is very right. ”

Dao Xuan looked at the first seat and said, "In this case, you all have no opinions. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Dao Xuan Zhenren: "Okay, then it's decided." The Yuqing Hall has arranged a residence for all of you, senior brothers, go and rest!" he said, he slapped his palm three times in a row, and several Dao children immediately turned into the door. "You lead you to your rooms to rest. ”

The Dao Tong responded, and all the leaders stood up, saluted Dao Xuan Zhenren, and followed.

Note 1: From the fourth volume of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Classic of the East Mountains": The first of the two classics in the east is said to be the mountain of empty mulberry, which is bordered by water in the north, looking at the frustration in the east, looking at Shaling in the south, and looking at the Shaling in the west.
