Southern Xinjiang, 100,000 mountains.

After crossing the Black Sè Mountains and entering the 100,000 Great Mountains, Ghost Li felt that he had entered a truly wild and primitive world. In fact, in the Demon Sect, the wilderness originally refers to the extreme northwest of the vast land of Shenzhou, there is a vast area of desolation, where most of the place is the Gobi Desert, where not a single grass grows, even if there is life, it is also an extremely tenacious barbaric relic, so named. And the temple in the legend of the Demon Cult is somewhere there, but Ghost Li has never been there.

But the world in front of me is obviously completely different from the wild land in the legend, in the 100,000 mountains, not only is there no grass, but it is simply a miscellaneous. Along the way, there are large tracts of primeval forests, and there is simply no place to stay, and any piece of land seems to be crowded with plants competing for living space. And behind the endless forest trees and thorns, there seems to be an endless number of poisonous beasts. In the shadows beside you, it seems that there will always be malicious and hideous eyes watching you, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, to put you to death, and turn you into a delicacy.

For characters like Ghost Li and Jin Bottle, these ordinary poisons are naturally not a special threat, but they are really a headache when they come down like this. Although they can fly in the sky, when they come to the sky above this primeval forest, they may not know when a miasma poisonous mist rises; second, although their Taoism is deep, they also have to rest after all, but they are disturbed by these outside worldsāo, but there is hardly any appearance of stopping.

After a few years, it seems that even the monkey Xiao Ash is starting to get irritable.

In addition, in addition to the disturbance of these poisonous mist beasts, the strange weather in the 100,000 mountains is also quite uncomfortable. It is completely different from the Middle Earth Zone, there is no process of cloud gathering, changing the sky, etc., the rain here is almost just saying that it will fall, at the beginning it is still a clear sky, and in the blink of an eye it is pouring down; when you want to stop, you actually say stop when you want to stop, the first moment the lightning and thunder, the next moment cloudless, people are stunned and speechless.

And the time of the rain seems to be inaccurate at all, short for a moment and a half, long for more than a long number, and it is impossible to predict at all.

At this moment, the two of them were walking in a dark forest under the continuous rain.

The reason why the two of them didn't cast a spell to fly through the sky was because when they were about to do so, they found that even when it was raining, there was still a strange black gas rising above the Black Sè Forest, on the contrary, on the ground below the forest, the air was relatively normal.

Ghost Li and Jin Bottler are both characters who have been immersed in the Demon Sect for a long time, and their eyesight is also extraordinary, so they naturally know the importance of it, and after discussion, they are still willing to be more serious and walk through the black forest.

This forest is the same as many primeval forests in the 100,000 mountain ranges, the branches and leaves of the trees are very dense, and the rain in the sky often does not fall directly to the ground, but flows down the branches from the dense branches and leaves, and the cold breath echoes throughout the forest, except for the rustling sound of their walking and the distant sound of rain, the whole forest seems to be sleeping in the rain.

Ghost Li and Jin Bei'er didn't have umbrellas, most of them didn't carry them, but in such a lush forest, even if they had umbrellas, they were afraid that they would be involved and difficult to move an inch. Ash didn't say a word, shrunk up, and lay on the ghost's shoulder. The rain from the foliage above soaked all the hair on his body and lay flat on his body.

There are also water droplets on the ghost's face, but his face is still indifferent, and as he walks ahead, he doesn't seem to feel the strange aura around him at all. Jin Bei'er followed him, and she didn't seem to see any tiredness, but her slightly messy hair and somewhat indifferent expression seemed to reflect her unhappy mood.

This forest was actually the Black Forest the last time she visited. Jin Zhu'er knew in her heart that by walking out of this forest and climbing over a few more mountains, they could reach the destination they were heading to, and in fact, this was exactly what she said to Ghost Li.

"Sand"

Ghost Li reached out and broke a hanging branch, which looked extremely tough and an ancient vine-like branch, almost as fragile as tofu in his hand. Behind him, Jin Bei'er silently glanced at the palm of Ghost Li's hand, and there seemed to be a thoughtful look in his eyes, frowning slightly.

Suddenly, the ghost made a loud "huh", his body paused, and then turned left and walked a few steps, only to see Huo Ran cheerful in front of him, it was a bright sè, and the place where he was was was a cliff, about a few feet around the rock, there was no grass and trees, but under his feet was an empty sea of clouds, the clouds were rolling, five of them were colorful, quite good-looking.

The footsteps sounded, and Jin Bei'er also stood beside him, her face changed slightly, this is the place where she was plotted by the mysterious man in black last time, and after escaping by luck, she also inadvertently found a killing knife of the monk who killed the monk under the cliff rock, but, she looked at the ghost, but she didn't say a word, obviously she didn't plan to tell this man all the things she had discovered.

Ghost Li looked at the sea of clouds below from a distance, shook his head slightly after a while, and said, "The clouds and mist below are colorful, but I'm afraid it's still a poisonous miasma." ”

Jin Bei'er nodded and said, "I think so." ”

Ghost Li looked at her and said, "How far is it?"

Jin Bei'er reached out and gently wiped the water droplets on his forehead, groaned slightly, and said, "It shouldn't be far away, I remember the last time I came here, I walked about an hour further, and I came out of this black forest." Out of here, after crossing two more mountain ranges, you will arrive at the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave. Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and said with a slight confusion: "Strange, the last time I came here, there were clearly many evil beasts in the Black Forest, how did I come this way, except for those poisonous insects, I have never seen any decent evil beasts." ”

Ghost Li said lightly: "I'm afraid that the monsters you see will follow the beast god to eat people outside the 100,000 mountains." ”

Jin Bei'er was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this could be very big, and a look of disgust immediately appeared on her face, no matter what, even if she was born in the Demon Sect, she still seemed to be very repulsive to the beast demon that had no one at all. Or, when the battle of the Snake Valley in Middle-earth was fought and the Hehuan faction was wiped out, although Ghost Li still doesn't know why Jin Bei'er was able to escape alone, and he actually threw himself into the command of the Ghost King, but I think that Jin Bei'er will not have a good impression of these beasts and demons.

Ghost Li took a deep breath, cheered up the spirit, and said, "Let's go." ”

Then he turned around and walked back into the dark forest, the golden bottle was about to follow, but suddenly turned around and glanced at the bottom of the cliff, the willow eyebrows frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, the ghost in front of him walked for a while, but he didn't feel the golden bottle follow, turned around and shouted, the gold bottle woke up, smiled, but said: "Why, did you remember me so quickly?"

Ghost Li glanced at her, turned around indifferently, didn't care about anything, went straight away, Jin Bei'er smiled and followed, at the moment when she was about to enter the forest, suddenly waved her hand, a white light flashed from her hand, flew out, came quickly, a muffled sound of "duh", forced into the gap in a remote corner of this cliff.

The light slowly flashed through that gap, and it was the former killing knife.

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the golden bottle had disappeared.

The bleak wind and bitter rain seemed to shroud it again, covering this strange black forest, far away, the vast sky of the 100,000 mountains, as if it was all gray, I don't know if there were any gods or demons, roaring and roaring in the netherworld, staring at the heavens, earth, and the earth, and those who seemed to be insignificant

The wind and rain are more urgent!

※※※

Just when Ghost Li and Jin Zhu'er were trudging hard in the bleak wind and rain to chase the traces of the beast god in the 100,000 mountains, the southern Xinjiang outside the 100,000 mountains and mountains was also in an eager atmosphere.

More and more righteous path disciples came to Southern Xinjiang, and while making noise, their arrival almost quickly reduced the number of remnants of those beast and demon remnants wandering in Southern Xinjiang, and in the land of Southern Xinjiang, there had never been so many Middle-earth people, and most of them were still cultivators.

The local people of the five local ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang have always had a respectful attitude towards these outsiders, but among these righteous path disciples, there seems to be a strange atmosphere, as long as most of them are not from the same sect, most of them keep their distance when they meet, and even occasionally hear that the disciples of certain sects have conflicts.

It's just that no one seems to have ever spoken out loudly about what happened.

In a sense, as the oldest monastic gate valve in southern Xinjiang, the Incense Valley has naturally become the best place for many righteous disciples who are not familiar with the local geography to visit and seek teachings.

It was in this case, this rì, three people came to the gate of Incense Valley, one man and two women, but they were under the gate of Qingyunmen, Zeng Shushu of Fenghuifeng and Wen Min and Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhufeng.

The disciples of Qingyunmen who came to southern Xinjiang are naturally not only the three of them, in fact, Qingyunmen is known as the first righteous sect in the world at this time, and there are countless disciples of the younger generation who have been sent, but the best of them have not been able to come, except for a few people who have already played an important role in the sect, such as Qi Hao and other figures, Xiao Yicai is also because there are fewer people in the Dao Xuan Sect than the council, and the affairs on Tongtian Peak are complicated, and most of them are taken care of by him and cannot get out; 。

Among the remaining few people, led by Zeng Shushu and Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu is nothing, Daddy Uncle Zeng often explained a few words and came to Southern Xinjiang, and Lu Xueqi came this time, but it was more tortuous, it is said that Master Shuiyue did not want to let him go out, but then somehow changed his mind, but he deliberately let Lu Xueqi's senior sister Wen Min also follow. However, Wen Minlai has an advantage, that is, Zeng Shushu has one more person to talk to along the way. Otherwise, Zeng Shushu was originally a monkey-like active character, if he only got along with the frosty Lu Xueqi in a hurry, he was afraid that at the end of the day, nine of Zeng Shushu's ten sentences were talking to himself, and most of the remaining sentences were made by Lu Xueqi impatiently and made him go away.

This way to southern Xinjiang, Zeng Shushu and Wen Min got along quite well, the three of them discussed together, Zeng Shushu mentioned that no matter what, as a righteous fellow, when he came to southern Xinjiang, he still had to go to the Incense Valley to pay a visit. It's just that Lu Xueqi didn't seem to be willing, and expressed her opinion lightly, saying that she hadn't been here in southern Xinjiang before, and she probably knew how to go, so she didn't have to trouble others.

Zeng Shushu and Wen Min knew it in their hearts, and it was expected that Lu Xueqi still had a pimple in her heart, when she was in the Yuqing Hall of Tongtian Peak in Qingyunmen, she refused in public the marriage proposal of Yun Yilan, the lord of Incense Valley, for his proud disciple Li Xun, which greatly hurt Yun Yilan and Dao Xuan's real face, so she naturally did not want to associate with the people of Incense Valley anymore.

However, after several discussions between Zeng Shushu and Wen Min, Wen Min persuaded Lu Xueqi that she still had to come over and make a show after all, otherwise she would not look good in front of the teacher in the future. Lu Xueqi hesitated again and again, and finally agreed.

The three of them came to the mouth of the Incense Valley, and the three of them had some fame, especially Lu Xueqi, who was already the Tianxiang Country of the country and the city, and since the rise of the younger generation of Qingyunmen, her fame and appearance have moved the world. As for the Incense Valley, Lu Xueqi was only afraid of a more layer of meaning, because when the three of them just appeared at the mouth of the Incense Valley, they were recognized by the disciples of the Incense Valley almost immediately.

After the initial shock, there seemed to be a sensation, but then someone quickly stepped in to report back, and at the same time, several people immediately greeted them, and one of them smiled and said, "Ah, Senior Sister Lu is coming to the Incense Valley, it's really rare." These two are also the senior brothers and sisters of Qingyunmen, please come in, please come in. ”

Zeng Shushu glanced at Wen Min behind his back, secretly stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, thinking that this Lu Xueqi was really scary, even this ordinary disciple of Incense Valley recognized it at a glance, and he and Wen Min obviously belonged to the kind of passers-by who followed behind the beauty.

The two of them were not angry, Zeng Shushu was even more smiling, laughing and joking with those few Incense Valley disciples all the way, and hearing them laughing heartily from time to time. Wen Min, who was walking behind, smiled softly at Lu Xueqi beside him: "Senior sister, look at that Senior Brother Zeng, but he has just met, and he can be so familiar with others, it's really amazing." ”

Lu Xueqi looked at Zeng Shushu in front of him, who had already put his hand on the shoulder of the disciple of Incense Valley at this moment, and smiled faintly, but did not speak.

Soon, under the leadership of the disciples of the Incense Valley, they came to the Mountain and River Hall of the Incense Valley, and above the hall, it was Yun Yilan who was sitting on the main seat with a smile and waiting for them, obviously in the eyes of the Lord of the Incense Valley Valley, the weight of the three high disciples of the Qingyun Sect was completely different from that of other sects.

Despite this, Zeng Shushu, Wen Min and the other three are not people who don't know the sky and the earth after all, and they know Yun Yilan's identity and status, and they are really quite condescending to receive them in person this time. At that moment, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward, and after Zeng Shushu saw the ceremony, he said: "How can the old Yuns meet in person, it should have been a visit from the juniors, but it is really a torture to kill the juniors." ”

Yun Yilan smiled slightly, the expression on her face was very kind, and said with a smile: "What is this talk about virtuous nephew, I have a relationship with your uncle Dao Xuan Zhenren, as well as your father's uncle Chang Zeng, those are more than a hundred years of friendship, where is the use of being so polite." How are the two of them?"

Zeng Shushu said respectfully: "The head of the family and the father are all good, the two elders have blessed me, and I must come to meet Uncle Yun when I arrive in southern Xinjiang." ”

Yun Yilan laughed and nodded: "As soon as Qingyun is goodbye, it will be more in a blink of an eye, and the old man really misses a few old friends." As he spoke, he smiled and turned his eyes to look behind Zeng Shushu, his gaze turned on Wen Min, and then fell on the face of Lu Xueqi, who looked indifferent.

As if sensing Yun Yilan's eyes, Lu Xueqi raised her eyes and saw Yun Yilan looking at herself with a smile on her face, and there was still a person standing next to him, but her face was full of complicated expressions, and she seemed to have a wry smile, and it also seemed to her that it was Li Xun.

Lu Xueqi was silent and bowed her head slightly.

Yun Yilan smiled slightly, looked away, and said with a smile: "Why are you still standing, the relationship between you and me is extraordinary, it's a family, sit down." ”

Zeng Shushu and others confessed and sat down at the bottom.

Yun Yilan talked to the three of them again, and after knowing that Wen Min was the same as Lu Xueqi, he was a disciple of Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhufeng, so she asked a few more questions about Master Shuiyue, Wen Min answered one by one, and then, Yun Yilan talked to Zeng Shushu again. From beginning to end, it seemed that he also knew that Lu Xueqi was reluctant to speak, so he didn't ask Lu Xueqi, and Lu Xueqi was also happy and relaxed, sitting next to him without saying a word.

However, the other disciples of the Incense Valley in the Mountain and River Palace, including Li Xun, who was standing beside Yun Yilan, had their eyes lingering on Lu Xueqi most of the time, intentionally or unintentionally, the woman in white clothes like snow, under her cold temperament, seemed to have a strange magic power, so that the highlights of the entire hall quietly gathered on her.

Over there, Yun Yilan asked Zeng Shushu with a smile: "When the battle is over, Senior Brother Daoxuan defeated the beast god for the common people of the world and turned the tide of the tide, and his merits are immeasurable." However, when the old man left Qingyun, his injuries didn't seem to be healed, I don't know how Senior Brother Daoxuan's health has been recently?

Zeng Shushu replied with a smile: "Thank you Master Yun for your concern, the head of the sect is fine, as long as you can let the people of the world escape the catastrophe, Qingyunmen will suffer a little, and there is nothing." ”

Yun Yilan's smile became more and more kind, she picked up the teacup on the coffee table at hand and took a sip, and then her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had suddenly thought of it unintentionally, he smiled: "By the way, the old man heard a rumor that the virtuous nephew was here and asked you about it." ”

Zeng Shushu said with a smile: "Uncle Yun, please say, the disciple must know everything and say everything." ”

Yun Yilan nodded, and the light flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she said slowly: "The old man recently heard by chance that when the Qingyun battle, after Senior Brother Daoxuan defeated the beast god and demon, there was still a battle on Qingyun Mountain, and in the end, there was news that the supreme treasure of Qingyun Gate, the 'Zhuxian Ancient Sword', was broken and damaged, but is there such a thing?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire mountain and river hall was solemn in an instant, and there was no sound in an instant, but Zeng Shushu, Wen Min, and Lu Xueqi stood up at the same time, their faces changed, and they looked at Yun Yilan. And the other disciples of the Incense Valley, including Li Xun, also looked at Yun Yilan with a stunned expression.

Only Yun Yilan herself seemed to be fine, as if what he asked just now was not a major event that affected the world, but a trivial matter that was very common, gently picked up the teacup, and took another sip of tea.

Then, he smiled kindly and gently at the three Qingyunmen and asked, "That, is it true?"

On the temple of mountains and rivers, there is a deathly silence
