Chao Xiaoyu looked at the surging river in front of him, flowing into the steep canyon.

The peaks are very high and high into the clouds.

The water is deep enough for the dragon to sink into the abyss.

In just an instant, she and Shen Lian had crossed an extremely long distance, and when they arrived near the Xuantian Sect, she had never been to the Xuantian Sect, and she also recognized the geography of this vicinity, and crossed the front called 'Tianmen Gorge', which was the boundary of the Xuantian Sect.

A lone sail sailed out of the 'Tianmen Gorge'.

In the turbulent smoke of the water, this lone sail looks so steady.

When the boat docked in front of Shen Lian and Chao Xiaoyu, they found that the boat had no bottom, and the surging river could be seen underneath, and the person holding the boat was an old boatman who was as thin as skin and bones.

He lifted his voice, which had been sharpened by the river wind, and said, "Come up, young man. ”

Shen Lian grabbed Chao Xiaoyu's hand, and the faint power of the Five Elements Origin crossed into her body, so that her injuries did not deteriorate rapidly because she left the Divine Domain.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then got on the boat.

Falling on the boat, the soles of the feet are very steady, and the ship is not an empty bottom, but a layer of invisible air hood made the bottom of the boat.

The old boatman is already very old, and when people see him, they think that he may end his life at any time.

Chao Xiaoyu said softly to the boatman, "How old is the old man?"

The old boatman cracked his mouth and laughed: "I have lived too long to remember." “

His appearance was indeed very old, but not a single tooth had fallen out of his mouth, and it was neat, eighteen on top and bottom, and the teeth were like round jade compared to his shriveled skin.

Chao Xiaoyu said to Yanran: "You must have sent a lot of people to the Xuantian Sect?"

The old boatman said, "Yes, this boat has carried many people, but they rarely come back. ”

Rarely come back, it can be understood as not wanting to come back, and even more so not being able to come back.

If you can't come back, you're probably dead.

"But since five hundred years ago, this ship has only carried ten people, including the two of you, and you can rest assured that the first eight have returned well. The old boatman's hoarse voice said in a low voice.

Shen Lian seemed to think of something and asked, "Did the eight people before all see the real people of Xiangshan?" ”

The old boatman smiled mysteriously and said, "It is precisely because they haven't seen the real people of Xiangshan that they can return well, and the identities of the eight of them will never be worse than the two of you." ”

Shen Lian said indifferently: "It seems that you already know who we are." ”

The oars in the old boatman's hand paddled in the water without a splash, and the boat sailed like a sharp arrow, accurately and quickly in one direction, without deviating. He said angrily: "It is precisely because I know your identity that I will take you on the ship, because not everyone can get on this boat." ”

Shen Lian stared at the old boatman tightly, sighed and said, "I heard that the real person of Xiangshan once went to the Senluo Hall of the Huangquan Demon Sect once, intending to take away a scripture book, and for this reason, he had a big battle with the Infernal Daoist, the master of the Hell Path, can the old man know about this." ”

The old boatman said, "What if you know, what if you don't know?"

Shen Lian said: "I know that Xiangshan Zhenren did not take the scripture as he wished, but he took away a person, and that person is the junior disciple of the Taoist of the Universe, the ferryman of the Netherworld. ”

The old boatman was finally moved, and said, "You can know that this matter is indeed not easy, but it is still wrong. ”

Shen Lian immediately confirmed his guess, the old man was indeed the nether ferryman, no wonder he had a smell similar to the water of the Netherworld. When the Sect Master of the Huangquan Demon Sect was still there, he looked at the Netherworld Ferryman differently, and passed on a little bit of the Netherworld Crossing Sutra, and the Netherworld Crossing Sutra was the supreme technique of the Huangquan Demon Sect, and only the sect master could practice.

Since the disappearance of the Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, he has become a well-deserved candidate for the successor of the Sect Master, but after all, the Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect has no will, and he has only learned the surface of the Netherworld Crossing Sutra. Therefore, he was united by the rest of the Demon Sect, including the three major path masters, and imprisoned him, in order to prevent him from becoming the sect master.

At the same time, he was handed over to his senior brother Youma Taoist to guard in the Senluo Temple.

Shen Lian said, "What did you say wrong?"

The old boatman sighed: "I was not taken away, but let go by my senior brother. ”

Shen Lian couldn't help but be silent, there must be a twist and turn in this, and he had no intention of snooping into this kind of private affair.

The old boatman said: "For so many years, you are the first person to know my origin, Lu Xiangshan said, when someone said my origin, I should not stay here, after sending you to the shore, I should also leave." ”

Shen Lian looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this." ”

The old boatman shook his head and said, "You just want to know something else from me, and I don't blame you, because I won't say it." ”

Soon arrived at the shore, and Shen Lian led Chao Xiaoyu ashore.

The old boatman disappeared into Tianmen Gorge with a lonely sail, and he may not be able to see him in the future.

Chao Xiaoyu said curiously: "What do you want to ask him?" ”

Shen Lian said: "A confidential matter involving Qing Xuan. ”

Chao Xiaoyu didn't ask, she was a very measured person.

She said, "You see there's a hut up ahead. ”

The two walked over, and when they got closer, they realized that the hut was definitely not small, but there was a strange force here that affected their judgment.

The hut is independent of this secluded land, leaning against the mountain, there is a breeze coming, the grass and trees are swaying, like the dwelling of immortals, unstained by mortal dust.

This is a Taoist temple, and the name of the temple is 'Zhizhi'.

Obviously, it is taken to take the meaning of 'contentment is not disgraceful, knowing that it will not be destroyed, and it can last for a long time'.

When I got closer, I found that Zhizhiguan is like another heaven and earth, flowing with the breath of mystical righteousness, and one breath can make people experience the natural way of heaven and earth.

The door opened silently, and someone inside said slowly: "Two Taoist friends, please come in." ”

The sound is mellow, but it is like the sound of heaven and earth, and there are hidden notes in the void, like snowflakes falling, dissolving in the Dao qi.

Shen Lian smiled, and Xiao Yu was slightly puzzled, and the two of them Shi Shiran entered the Taoist temple.

Inside, Chao Xiaoyu couldn't help but admire, this is a wonderful way to take mustard seeds in Sumeru, and when you get close, you will find that the Taoist temple is very large, but you can walk in and find that this place is empty and far away, comparable to a human city.

When I got to the depths, I found dozens of people gathered together, and these people's cultivation was high and low, but at least they were above the seventh turn of Huandan.

There are four of them, and their aura is like the abyssal sea, and even she can't see through it.

Among the four people, a scholar in his early thirties, said to her and Shen Lian: "Contemptible Wang Shidao, take the liberty to invite two Taoist friends to come, don't be surprised." ”

Listen to his voice, and you know that it is the one who invited them in.

It turned out that this person was Lu Jiuyuan's eldest disciple Wang Shidao, and it was really unfathomable, just looking at the disciple so unfathomable, it was enough to infer how great Lu Jiuyuan was.
