Chapter 1: The Green Underworld
The golden light shines on the peaks of the entire Liuyang Mountain, painting the originally towering peaks into the clouds as if they are painted with a sacred color, and looking down from a high place, the original Ziyang Peak Hall is particularly conspicuous, standing proudly in the mountains, and the surrounding buildings are all reduced to a foil.
A little further down, the word Ziyang on the stone wall at the mountain gate was still magnificent, making people dare not look directly, but the careful Qi Yue found that there seemed to be some new sword marks on it, "This should be left when the evil way attacked the mountain before"
The Split Cloud Eagle landed slowly, and gradually retracted its wings, which were more than a few feet wide, until it landed smoothly in a stable position, successfully completing the task of this trip.
"Welcome back to the mountain!" The disciples guarding the mountain gate have changed from two to four, and they feel more than one level stronger than the previous two in terms of momentum.
"Are all the elders back?" asked Twilight Yunheng, bowing slightly.
"Back to the master, half an hour ago, the elders of Wufeng and the disciples have all arrived, and they have ordered the disciples to wait here for the head to return to the mountain" The person who replied was wearing a black brocade robe, his eyes were calm and heroic, and his face was solemn, Elder Yu Moyang was almost carved out of a mold, and he thought that he should be the elite inner disciple of Mo Yangfeng.
"Well, let's go" After the two left, the four guard disciples returned to their posts, meticulously continuing to hold on to prevent anyone from having bad intentions.
This scene happened to be inadvertently seen by Qi Yue, "It seems that the situation in the sect is really bad"
After going up the mountain, Qi Yue verified what he thought in his heart, and the place he saw was five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and there were teams of patrol disciples every short distance, everyone had a rigorous and serious look on their faces, always watching all the changes around them, and there was no relaxed atmosphere when they first came.
After saying goodbye to Dui Yunheng, he was taken to the previous Qixia Courtyard by a disciple of Qingyang Peak, "Thank you senior brother for leading the way, if it weren't for senior brother, I really wouldn't know how to come over."
"It's nothing, but the junior brother has a special identity now, plus the current disciple in the sect. Most of them have just returned from their travels and haven't seen you yet. Therefore, if the junior brother wants to go out during this time, it is better to find someone to lead the way, otherwise it will be bad to make a misunderstanding" Maybe the disciples of Qingyang Peak are more talkative, and the other party is not in a hurry to leave, but chatted with him for a while, and after telling him some precautions in the door one by one, he left with confidence.
The path paved with bluestone slabs, the green bamboo beside the road is still standing in this bleak late autumn, the koi fish in the pond show their heads as if to welcome the return of their masters, and the sword marks on the big pine tree in the courtyard are still there. Everything was so familiar, it made him feel indescribable after months of wandering.
"I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Jiang Yuan" After standing in the courtyard for a long time, he suddenly remembered Jiang Yuan, who had been implicated by himself before, and heard that the other party seemed to have been punished into some forbidden place, and now that the other party has returned, he has to find a way to rescue the other party, otherwise he will not be able to go.
After putting the bag in the room, I was just about to go out to find someone to inquire, but I bumped into an acquaintance "Zhengyi Shi...... Belch. Nephew, I'm looking for you."
was stunned by Qi Yue's title: "What is the matter with Uncle Shi looking for me?"
"Do you know how Senior Brother Jiang Yuan is doing now?" The two were already very familiar, so they avoided the superfluous greetings and went straight to the point.
"Coincidentally. I'm looking for Uncle Shi because of this," he scratched his head, grinning, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Oh, let me guess, is it that the senior brother has already released it?" Qi Yue couldn't think of anything else that could make Zhengyi so happy, and when he was in Minghe Mountain, he often heard him talk about this uncle who had the grace to support him.
"That's right. The first thing Elder Qingyang did when he came back was to order Senior Brother Jiang Yuan's punishment to be lifted, and now he has returned. But...... Uncle Shi seems to have been injured a little, and now he is still lying on the bed" Zhengyi was excited at first, but then he seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly sank.
"Then you take me to see him, after all, my senior brother is affected by me, and I really feel a little sorry not to go" In a hurry, he pulled up Zhengyi and was about to walk in the direction of Qingyang Peak.
Zhengyi stopped Qi Yue with a helpless face, "Uncle Shi, you are not a disciple in the sect now, so you can't enter Qingyang Peak."
"That's it, then you can help me get some medicine for him, and by the way, I apologize for me, and I'll go to see him after I officially visit the door after a while" Without waiting for Zhengyi to refuse, Qi Yue ran back to the house with a cigarette, and wrapped up all the medicine in the bag, no matter what the effect was, and stuffed it into Zhengyi's arms.
Seeing Zhengyi holding a large number of bottles and cans, walking cautiously all the way to Qingyang Peak for fear of damage, Qi Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, which could be regarded as another important thing.
"That's right! Why did you forget about this! Senior Brother Zhengyi...... Ah no, you wait for me!"
It's a pity that he was still a step too slow, he didn't catch up with the other party, and he was thrown back to Qixia Courtyard by the patrol disciples.
Since he couldn't get out, Qi Yue could only wait patiently, but for some reason, Zhengyi didn't come back for three or four days, but in the early morning of this day, the entire Liuyang Mountain heard a bell ringing through the sky.
"It seems to be the direction of the Liuyang Palace" After carefully identifying the direction, when he went out, he looked outside, and for some reason, everyone was like crazy, and they all rushed towards the direction of the main hall, all of them looked excited, as if they wanted to see some big person.
"Big man, ......?" guessed in his heart, and hurriedly followed, but no one stopped him along the way, but one ran faster than the other, if it weren't for the strict rules, Qi Yue estimated that they would even use light skills.
............
The open space outside the Liuyang Hall was crowded with people, and there were thousands of people in the open space, wearing various colors of brocade robes, and everyone was very conscious of standing in five columns according to the color, headed by the elders of each peak, all of them looked solemn, but they couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts.
When Qi Yue was worrying about which column to stand, there was a violent vibration under his feet, and he almost didn't stand firm when he was caught off guard, holding the one-foot high flag beside him, and looked away, it turned out that it was not only him, so people were shaken left and right by this sudden vibration, but they were not as embarrassed as him.
"Could it be an earthquake?" he thought about the unlikely possibility of an earthquake for such a long time, and he had a vague feeling that things might not be as simple as he thought.
"Boom~!", a purple sword light rose from the direction of the forbidden land in the back mountain, piercing the clouds, as if to divide the heaven and earth into two halves, I had never seen such a majestic sword qi, as soon as it appeared, it directly overwhelmed the power of heaven and earth, so that the entire range of Liuyang Mountain was covered with a layer of purple light within a hundred miles, and even the vast hot sun seemed to hide in the clouds, not daring to compete with it.
In Hengzhou City, countless people jumped on the rooftops, or on the treetops, or stood on the street, but without exception, everyone's eyes were attracted by this sword light, and they put down the things in their hands, and their eyes revealed awe of the strong.
"This feeling, it must be him who can't be wrong...... It seems that the rivers and lakes are about to change" Located in a small courtyard in the south of the city, an old man in a gray robe was awakened, and couldn't help but look out the window and muttered.
The sword light lasted for about five breaths, but the people in the lower level seemed to have spent countless years, until the sword light completely dissipated, most of them had not come back to their senses, they were immersed in the sword, unable to extricate themselves, and even many people closed their eyes and felt something, looking for that moment of feeling.
His eyes were round, his mouth couldn't be closed, and he looked straight at the direction where the sword light disappeared, and he seemed to have found something in his heart at this moment, very strange, he had never felt before, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but he was covered by a layer of fog, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Qi Yue's cultivation is still too shallow in the end, just a moment of effort, and he recovers in a moment, although there is a harvest but it is not abundant, but he came back to his senses and saw countless senior brothers and sisters meditating in place in the open space, the breath around him is uncertain, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, obviously on the verge of breaking through, only one foot away.
When everyone thought it was over, there was a loud noise in the back mountain, and then accompanied by the sound of boulders rolling down, and before everyone could think about what was happening, a dazzling purple light pierced the sky and landed directly on the open space outside the main hall.
That's right, it's coming, because Qi Yue can't find other words to describe this scene, wrapped in purple light and slowly falling to the ground, the powerful aura will even suppress the thousands of people present at the same time, even a few elders can't help but take two steps back, even if the first twilight cloud is very profound, when facing this power, his face is also red, even funny.
Fortunately, the other party was not deliberately targeted, but in a moment, the power to crush the common people faded from everyone's shoulders, but even so, many people also sat on the ground, soaked in sweat, and their bodies were constantly trembling.
Qi Yue was one of them, fortunately, he was just far away, and when he fell, he grabbed the flagpole next to him easily, so as not to be too embarrassed.
"Welcome Elder Qing Mingzi out of the customs!" everyone in the audience bowed in unison and shouted, and for a while, the sound shook the sky, and the mountains continued to echo.
At this moment, Qi Yue finally knew that the person who made such a big move was the master Qing Yingzi who he was about to worship, maybe he had already guessed, but after really seeing him today, he still felt that he had underestimated the other party before, and it was hard to believe what kind of level this was.
"Hmm" is wearing a cyan robe, without any accessories on his body, and his long silver-white hair is scattered at will, it can be seen that the other party is not a person who pays attention to appearance, his body is a head taller than ordinary people, and there is nothing outstanding about his whole body, except for a pair of eyes that seem to contain endless sword rays, and no one dares to look at each other when he looks around.
It's just such a person, standing there and doing nothing, and even the response is just a "um" word, but he makes the entire Ziyang Sword Sect boil, everyone is looking up, looking up at this recognized number one in the world, even if the other party doesn't talk much, but seeing him himself also makes countless disciples excited, secretly pinching their thighs, wanting to know if this is real or not a dream.
