A low roar came from all directions, far away on the plain two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain, more and more strange beasts from southern Xinjiang appeared and gathered, and some monsters continued to roar to the sky. There were also six or seven demon beasts with huge bodies in the herd, far surpassing the ordinary beasts around them, and they were standing in the middle of the herd and turned their heads and roared, and the surrounding beast demons seemed to be particularly afraid of them.

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and gradually began to flash in the clouds at the edge of the sky, and after a while, there was finally a rumbling thunder.

The world of black oppression, the indescribable vicissitudes of life.

The lightning flashed in the sky, reflecting a vigorous shadow, the huge bird demon who had just returned from the head of Heyang City fell from the sky, with the afterglow of the lightning, the beast demons all saw that the big bird's claws were grasping two people, and for a while, hundreds of beast demons near and far roared loudly, the momentum was so strong, it was terrifying.

The huge wings fluttered in the wind and rain, the big bird hovered over the beast group for a while, and suddenly the claws were loosened, and the two figures fell down like stones, but they saw that although the figures were rolling in the air, they did not struggle like dancing and dancing, but they were very stiff, thinking that most of them were in the middle of the road, these two poor people could not withstand the strength of the giant birds and beasts, and they were born and died under these two giant claws.

The roar of the beast demon on the ground instantly rose, the sound of gnashing teeth came and went, and in a moment, at least dozens of fierce beast bodies jumped up and pounced, and in the desolate rain, only a few points of blood were faintly visible, and finally disappeared again.

The giant bird hovering in the sky screamed twice, flew again for a moment, and then, as if it had discovered something, its wings retracted, and it fell from the sky, falling into the depths of the dense herd. When its huge body was about to hit the ground, its wide wings suddenly spread out again, and it made a "whew" sound, and the powerful wind blew several fierce beasts near it to the ground, and screamed.

A strong wind blew, and the giant bird flew over the herd of beasts, and along the way, countless beast demons bowed their heads in awe to dodge, and occasionally encountered several huge demon beasts that were equally powerful, and they seemed to stare at each other, without showing weakness. The giant bird flew all the way, and its body also went up and down, or swept over the head of the beast demon, or flew over the branches of trees, and sometimes when it encountered a large and terrifying monster like a colossus, it also passed directly under the colossus monster.

The wind and rain were shaking, the sky was thunder and lightning, and the figure of the giant bird in the wind and rain was like duckweed, and finally, it let out a scream again and fell from mid-air.

It was the deepest part of the beast demon group, among the strange beasts under the black pressure, under the lightning light in the sky, a tarpaulin umbrella was suddenly revealed, and a few peach blossoms were painted on the surface of the cyan umbrella, gently fluttering in the wind and rain.

The giant bird landed beside the umbrella, and then it was clear that a wooden rod had been tied to the handle of the umbrella, which had been lengthened, and then inserted between a rock, and under the umbrella was sitting a young man dressed in a splendid silk robe, holding a jug and a glass in his hand, and pouring himself a drink. Beside the young man, the beast gluttony, who looked a little sleepy, was lying on the rock, and at this moment he saw the giant bird falling, and the glutton's eyes only opened slightly, looked at it, and closed it again.

The surrounding beasts let out an uneasy roar, the giant bird fell to the ground, croaked twice in its mouth, and waved its huge wings, and fanned out more than a dozen beast demons in the original place, and the roars and screams came one after another, but no beast demon dared to come up and challenge. The giant bird glanced sideways to the left and right, looking arrogant, as if it was disdainful of these beasts, and then turned its head to face the young man, and for a moment, it seemed to be particularly respectful.

"Quack, quack......" The giant bird croaked for a while at the young man under the umbrella, and the young man seemed to understand the bird's language and nodded slowly. The giant bird called a few more times, then stood in place, and after a moment stretched out its beak to clean the feathers on its body, the rain had already drenched its whole body, and after cleaning it up a few times, it quickly gave up its efforts, looked up at the night sky, and slowly shrank its head into its wings to avoid the wind and rain.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the boy drank one cup after another, never pause, only occasionally wandering, staring into the distance for a moment, and then silently bowing his head and drinking again. It's just that no matter how much liquor he drank, there was never the slightest hint of alcohol on his face.

Finally, the jug of wine was drunk, and it slipped gently from his hands in the wind and rain, and landed on the mud-covered ground. The young man slowly stood up, and the beasts and demons around him shook for a while, revealing an extremely frightened look. It's just that in the eyes of the young man, these countless beasts seemed to be nothing, and he didn't pay the slightest attention to them. In his eyes, he was only silently looking at the sky at the moment, with heavy black clouds and wind and rain.

Gluttony let out a low cry and stood up beside him.

The young man was silent, turned around and patted the glutton's head gently, and said for a long time: "Do you also feel lonely, glutton?......"

Gluttony roared, but after all, no one knew what it meant, and the young man looked up at the sky for a long time, and did not say a word.

At the top of Qingyun Mountain, on Tongtian Peak, the heavy rain that has been falling all night is still falling, and the people in the righteous path led by the three major factions of the righteous path are gathering in the Yuqing Hall to discuss, and the sound of argument is sounding from time to time. And the three masters on the top position, Qingyun Sect Dao Xuan Zhenren, Tianyin Temple Puhong Venerable and Incense Gu Yun Yilan were also discussing something in a low voice, and the three of them were all frowning, obviously worried, worried about the beast and demon catastrophe in front of them.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside the Yuqing Palace, and everyone was stunned, only to see Xiao Yicai, a disciple of the Changmen under the Qingyun Sect, walking quickly into the Yuqing Palace, pausing slightly, nodding to the surrounding righteous path people, and then walking straight towards Daoxuan Zhenren, whispering in his ear.

Everyone looked at these two people, and they all saw that Xiao Yicai's face had a grim expression, which was very unusual, and with his words, there was no trace of a smile on Dao Xuan Zhenren's already serious face, and the rest were solemn, and gradually, everyone's hearts were also raised, and they vaguely felt that the inexplicable pressure seemed to gradually descend on this place.

After listening to Xiao Yicai's words, Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at him, and asked again in a low voice, Xiao Yicai nodded silently, with a look of certainty. Dao Xuan Zhenren let out a sigh of relief and nodded, Xiao Yicai silently turned around and stood behind Dao Xuan Zhenren.

Master Puhong and Yun Yilan next to him also looked over at this moment, and Master Puhong chanted the Buddha and said, "Amitabha, the head of Daoxuan, isn't there news of beasts and demons?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and stood up, and there was a stir in the crowd of righteous people in the audience.

Dao Xuan Zhenren froze down, the expression on his face gradually showed a resolute look, and he said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, I just received the news that a large group of beast demons have appeared in the wilderness two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain, and they will come soon, and outside Heyang City under the mountain, traces of beast demons have also begun to be found sporadically. ”

As soon as these words came out, they caused a commotion in everyone, and for a while, panic, fear, anger, sighs, and other expressions appeared on everyone's faces, and the catastrophe that had been pressing on everyone's hearts for many days finally came to the front.

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at everyone's expressions, pressed his hands, and the noise of everyone slowly lowered, and when the surroundings quieted down, Dao Xuan Zhenren said loudly: "Everyone, now the catastrophe is in front of you, the number of lives in the world depends on us and this group of demons, all of you here are righteous people with righteous paths, for the livelihood of the world, a battle in the coming day, you and I should do our best, as the so-called Tianxin is at ease, presumably there is no endless road to the sky, although these monsters are temporarily rampant, but they must not last long." ”

In the crowd, there was silence for a while, and someone spoke: "What the real person said is true." ”

"True people rest assured, there are so many masters here, we are fighting together, and it must not be difficult to defeat that beast demon!"

"Exactly, exactly......"

It seemed to be inspired for a while, and everyone's expressions slowly began to relax and be happy, after all, no matter what, there are still three major sects here, and there are these masters. Farther away, on this Qingyun Mountain, there is also the legendary invincible and invincible Zhuxian Sword Array, looking at Dao Xuan Zhenren's confident expression, so what is there to worry about?

Under the gaze of countless righteous path people, Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled slowly, said a few words to everyone, and then walked back to the inner hall of the Yuqing Hall with Master Puhong, Yun Yilan, and Xiao Yicai.

Once he avoided everyone's sight, Dao Xuan Zhenren's face suddenly became heavy, and the faces of Master Pu Hong and Yun Yilan were not easy, and everyone walked to the secluded room in the inner hall, Xiao Yicai followed and closed the door.

Dao Xuan Zhenren turned to Xiao Yicai and said, "Yicai, you tell me the details." ”

Xiao Yicai nodded and said, "Yes." The disciple inspected Heyang City under the mountain, and was rewarded again and again in one day, especially at the head of Heyang City, the disciple saw a huge bird demon appear, looking at that appearance, it was very similar to the 'Shura Bird', one of the thirteen demon beasts rumored to be among the beast demons these days. ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren and the other two masters glanced at each other, their faces were heavy, and Xiao Yicai said solemnly: "In addition, the rest of the fellow disciples who were secretly exploring the surrounding realm have reported that they have found sporadic traces of beasts and demons, especially the most dense two hundred miles to the southwest, but the disciples who are investigating two hundred miles away have been waiting for a long time, but there has been no news of them. ”

When Xiao Yicai said this, his face gradually darkened, Dao Xuan Zhenren had a calm face, while Yun Yilan next to him sighed, and Master Puhong chanted Buddha in a low voice.

Dao Xuan Zhenren pondered for a moment, nodded, and said to Xiao Yicai: "It seems that it will not be wrong, the beast demon is indeed here, Yicai," he looked at this most beloved disciple, and said: "You go down the mountain again, and inform the disciples who are scattered everywhere to investigate all shrink back, and the range is about a hundred miles around Qingyun Mountain, remember to tell them not to cross the border to investigate without authorization, let alone act with the beast demon in vain, so as not to have an accident." ”

Xiao Yicai nodded, as if he remembered something, and said, "Master, what about those people in Heyang City?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Master Puhong and Yun Yilan, Master Puhong bowed his head, Yun Yilan said lightly: "So far, everything is headed by the real person in charge, please make a decision." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude, and then pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Yicai: "This matter is indeed tricky, but Heyang City is too dangerous, and we really can't go down the mountain to guard the people now." You immediately go down the mountain to Heyang City, lead all the Qingyun disciples in Heyang City, and tell the people in Heyang City to go north as soon as possible, at least beyond the Qingyun Mountain Range. The biggest target of those beast demons at the moment is the righteous path on our Qingyun Mountain, not those people, so they may be able to ensure temporary safety. ”

Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment, but looking at Dao Xuanzhen's expressionless face, he finally nodded silently and said in a low voice: "Yes, the disciple will go." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren: "There is one more matter, you notify Qingyun of the other six veins as soon as possible, and come to Tongtian Peak immediately, I will see them immediately and discuss something." ”

Xiao Yicai nodded and said, "Yes, the disciple will go immediately." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed and said, "Be careful all the way, go!"

Xiao Yicai nodded and retreated.

"Phantom Moon Cave Mansion?" Zhou Zhou Xian was taken aback, his brows furrowed, a rare solemn look appeared on his face, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Ghost Li said lightly: "Haven't you always been well-informed, I was suddenly very interested in this cave, so I asked you, how much do you know about this Phantom Moon Cave Mansion?"

Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at Ghost Li, only to see that his face was impassive, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, and he looked unfathomable. At this time, their group was still in Heyang City, but the atmosphere in Heyang City at this moment was completely different due to the arrival of the huge strange bird and monster beast last night, the original worry finally turned into a fact, the panicked people were under the weight of panic, and more people had reached the verge of collapse, and from time to time on the street saw people talking nonsense and shouting loudly, acting like madmen.

Zhou Zhou Xian retracted his gaze, turned his mind around, and said slowly: "You, shouldn't you want to do something inexplicable?"

The eyes of Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Daoist both fell on Ghost Li, and Xiao Ash on Ghost Li's shoulder also seemed to feel something, grinning at them and making a grimace. Ghost Li said indifferently: "What do you think I can do?"

Zhou Xianqian laughed and said: "Actually, I don't know much about the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, this cave mansion is not famous originally, just because the Qingye Patriarch retreated in it thousands of years ago and realized the Tao, and at the same time the ancient sword of Zhu Xian appeared in it, this is famous all over the world, but over the years it has only been used as a collection place for the ancient sword Zhu Xian, and only the head of Qingyun can enter it, so this reputation has gradually faded." ”

The ghost said, "Oh, is there anything else?"

Zhou Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't care what you want to do, but that place, you'd better not go." ”

Ghost raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

Zhou Zhou Xian sighed and said, "It's not that you don't know your current identity, that Phantom Moon Cave Mansion is a Qingyun powerhouse, in case you go to Qingyun Mountain and are discovered...... Don't forget, at this moment, on Qingyun Mountain, there are thousands of people in the righteous path, in case your identity is exposed, it will be difficult to escape even if you turn into a bird. ”

Ghost Li said coldly: "That's my business, you can tell me something about that Phantom Moon Cave Mansion." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "The young people of today are really impatient...... The name of the cave is Phantom Moon, because it is rumored that on the night of the bright moon, there are strange stones in front of the cave, which are colorful and gorgeous, like a dream, but more importantly, in fact, there is a natural difference in the cave, so that after people walk in, if they fall into a dream, those who are not determined will be deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves, and their cultivation will be ruined. ”

The ghost was stunned for a moment and said, "What, there is such a thing?"

Zhou Zhou Xian snorted, looked Ghost Li up and down, and said, "I advise you not to be delusional, you enter the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, there is only one way to die." ”

Ghost Li sneered and said, "How can you see it?"

Zhou Zhou Xian said: "I know that you are not convinced, and I also know that you have a tough temperament, but I tell you the truth," his face slowly became solemn, and he unexpectedly had a momentum that was not angry and mighty, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called firm-mindedness, not what your temperament is, in my opinion, your life has been turbulent, twists and turns, and there are countless sad things in your heart. ”

He paused for a moment, as if he was a little hesitant, but after pondering for a while, he finally said: "Also, the magic weapon on your body is a fierce and evil thing, and the bloodline and spirit in your body have long been merged with the demon power such as the blood devouring bead, and this kind of monster is even more harmful to you in that illusionary realm, so I advise you, or the idea of dying." ”

Ghost Li looked at Zhou Zhou Xian, as if he had discovered this person for the first time, and watched silently, but Zhou Zhou Xian was also calm, and after a long time, Ghost Li didn't look at it, and slowly turned around.

At this moment, there was another commotion in Heyang City, and a large number of Qingyun disciples appeared on the streets of the city, saying something loudly to the people on the street. Zhou Zhou Xian and the others were stunned, and squeezed over to listen carefully, but it was the Qingyun disciples who announced that the beast demon was coming, and it was already extremely unsafe in Heyang City, so let the people go north, at least through the Qingyun Mountain Range.

Zhou Zhou Xian's face was bitter when he heard it, he shook his head and sighed, turned his head to Xiaohuan and the others: "Alas, it's bad now, I don't know...... Hey, what about that guy?"

Xiaohuan and the wild dog Daoist were both stunned, and hurriedly turned around, but they saw that there was nothing behind them, and the crowd was crowded, but where could they still see the ghostly figure.

The sea of people is vast, the voice is noisy, Zhou Yixian, who was standing in the crowd, frowned and shook his head, Xiaohuan beside him was silent, just silently looked into the distance, and after a long time, he sighed softly, and there seemed to be a little grievance in that voice.
