After the three of them came out of the cave, the empty phase and Master Li each used secret methods to transmit messages to the main gate.

The emptiness used was an oval-shaped golden jade, which was densely engraved with Buddhist mantras, and he drew a line of jade with his finger, and the jade turned into a golden ray and disappeared instantly.

She took out a small paper crane engraved with a spell, stretched out her jade finger and wrote words on the back of the paper crane, and then the ordinary little paper crane seemed to have life, and its wings disappeared with a shock.

Yuan Bao was surprised to see it, dragged it through the void, and said, "Is that the one you just now the sound transmission stone?"

The empty phase nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yuan Bao said: "Can you give me a piece too?"

The void phase was a little puzzled: "I only have this one." ”

Yuan Bao was a little disappointed, turned his head to look at Master Li, and found that this woman had been cold, especially after coming out of the cave, her face was gloomy, she shrank her head, and naturally she would not ask her to fly the paper crane.

These three people are all cultivators who have reached the realm of the Imperial Sky, and as soon as they have a slight synthesis of the void phase, they propose that the Imperial Sword rush to the Seven Star Gate.

Yuan Bao was a little embarrassed and said: "The Seven Star Gate doesn't seem to be very far from here, why don't we go to Tianshui City and buy a few horses." ”

The empty phase tilted his head to look at Yuanbao, and said: "Yuan Shaoxia, the Seven Star Gate is a hundred miles away, and everyone has eaten supper on horseback, how fast is the sword, it will arrive in an hour, has Yuan Shaoxia not reached the realm of flying in the sky?"

Master Li said lightly: "It's impossible, kill a master of the Demon Dao Divine Mind Realm with a sword in Phoenix Mountain, and later be able to escape the pursuit of the Miki Daoist with a seriously injured body, his cultivation is unfathomable, that night he said that he had reached the realm of the sky, I think his realm is not just the sky." ”

Yuan Bao coughed lightly a few times, and said: "I said that night that I reached the realm of the sky, but it seems that I forgot to say that I have just reached the realm of the sky for less than two months, since the master died, I have gone down the mountain, his old man originally passed me some of the methods of flying, I haven't had time to practice diligently, flying three or five miles is naturally not a big problem, but to fly more than a hundred miles, I am afraid of ......"

Master Li was a little stunned, looking at Yuanbao a little embarrassed, it didn't seem like he was lying. She really couldn't figure out how many secrets there were in this young man.

Time waits for no one, she sacrificed the Qing Ying Sword, recited the mantra mantra, and the Qing Ying Sword became bigger than the wind, from three feet and three inches long to one zhang long.

"I'll take you"

"It's the best, but don't fly too fast and too high, I've been a little afraid of heights since I was a kid."

Yuan Bao jumped on the back of the sword and grabbed Master Li's small waist, and his heart was very bottomless.

Master Li's small waist was grabbed by this guy, his brows furrowed, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't open his mouth after all. The little monk beside him looked at the appearance of the two of them, and couldn't figure out the situation at all, so he could only shake his head and ride on the big golden bowl to take the lead.

"Whoosh......" The huge Qingying Sword turned into a long rainbow and went up against the sky, and Yuan Bao exclaimed: "Slow down, slow down, you will fall into flesh and mud." ”

In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared into the sky above the ruined Songhe Temple, heading northwest. Not long after they left, a green-clothed girl walked out of the ruins slowly with a smile, looked at the direction in which the three of them disappeared, and said to herself: "The disciple of the dignified sword god Zhuge Kong Fang, the sixteenth generation of the reincarnation sword technique, is afraid of heights, interesting, interesting."

After speaking, he sneered, and the shaking head also flew up in the air, and followed behind the three of them slowly.

And she is the demon demon girl Xing Sunset.

Blue sky, white clouds and dogs. Two rays of light, one green and one yellow, swept through the air, dragging a long tail of glow, like a meteor swept down from the nine heavens.

Yuan Bao stood tremblingly on the Qingying Sword, holding Master Li's waist with both hands, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The clouds were flowing under his feet, the mountains were continuous, and the whole land seemed to be under the three of them, and he didn't dare to look down in the face of such a beautiful view.

Master Li frowned slightly, turned his head to look at the embarrassed ingot, and said slowly, "You...... Are you afraid of heights?"

Yuan Bao's face was pale, and he said tremblingly: "Didn't I say before that I was a little afraid of heights?

Master Li couldn't understand what kind of person Yuan Bao was, this young man had too many secrets, and his cultivation was even more unfathomable, but he was afraid of heights.

The cultivator of the sword flies, coming and going, and she really hasn't heard of anyone being afraid of heights, she can't help but look at the ingots a few more times, and a wry smile in her heart.

The Seven Star Gate is about 100 miles northwest of Tianshui City, on the edge of the western section of the Phoenix Mountain Range, and it is also a Taoist sect, which was created by an elder of the Five Elements Gate who was expelled from the division three hundred years ago, and there are more than 200 disciples, and the cultivation is the "Five Elements Decision" of the Five Elements Gate. Although he was ostensibly restrained by the Shushan faction, he was actually a small sect of the outer sect of the Five Elements Sect.

Today's Seven Star Gate Master Situ Yan is over 100 years old, but he is still old, and his cultivation is higher than that of Miki Daoren, and he has reached the realm of small perfection, and he is also a master in the cultivation realm.

Because of its remote location and short period of time, Qixingmen has not really developed.

Not far from Qixingmen is a small town called Xiaoqi Town. The population is far less than that of Tianshui City, with only 1,000 households and two streets. The Seven Star Gate is on the Seven Star Peak, twenty miles west of Xiaoqi Town.

In just one hour, the three of them came to the sky above the Seven Star Peak, and from above and below, most of the hundreds of houses had collapsed, and the corpses of countless disciples were scattered everywhere.

The faces of the three changed drastically, and they hurriedly landed on the top of the mountain.

Yuan Bao jumped to the ground, and finally fell into the boulder in his heart, but when he saw the corpses all over the ground, he stomped his feet and said: "It's one step too late, and this Seven Star Gate has also been destroyed." ”

He squatted down to check the scar on the neck of a young disciple at his feet, and said: "These disciples of the Seven Star Gate were all killed with a sword, and the death was the same as those Taoist priests in Songheguan, it should be done by the same group of people, this blood stain has not dried yet, and the time of death of these disciples will never exceed an hour."

The empty face's face is also a little unkind, and every time he comes one step late, it seems that the mysterious force has planted eyeliner around them. He turned his head to look at Senior Master Li and said, "Senior Sister Li, you are from Shushan Sect, you may be able to see what kind of sword trick is so powerful, everyone is either cut throat or pierced heart, so fast sword!"

Master Li frowned and said: "It can be seen that the other party's cultivation is extremely high, and he is a master of swordsmanship, I think only the legendary reincarnation sword technique has this power."

"Nonsense" Yuan Bao jumped up and shouted: "Master girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, the reincarnation sword technique is a supreme supernatural power, it has been a single line for thousands of years, and it will never kill innocents indiscriminately, you see that these people are dead, and they were killed almost at the same time, which means that the mysterious master who killed these people is by no means a person"

The reincarnation sword technique has been passed down from generation to generation, which has never changed for thousands of years, and everyone knows it.

The three of them searched for a long time in the Seven Star Gate, but did not find a secret room cave similar to the Songhe Temple, and when they saw that the sky was about to get dark, they went down the mountain and came to Xiaoqi Town.

Along the way, Yuan Bao rarely spoke, and his mind kept thinking about who Songheguan and Qixingmen died at. In fact, what Master Li said was right, if he could kill hundreds of people in a short period of time and not let go of a single living mouth, it means that the other party's cultivation is extremely high. Judging from the killing of a sword, the other party is definitely a master in swordsmanship.

To be able to do this, there are only two answers in Yuanbao's heart, one is that his master Zhuge Kong Fang has been resurrected, and the second is the Shushan Sword School.

Naturally, his master can't be resurrected, and now the only person who is likely to do this is the Shushan Sword Sect of Jing and Swordsmanship.

There are more than 8,000 disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect, and there are more than 300 elders in the House of Elders, as long as there are 30 elders down the mountain, it is more than enough to destroy a small sect. But what reason does the Shushan Sect have for doing so? The Songheguan and the Seven Star Sect were originally its affiliated sects, and even if they wanted to unify the Central Plains, they would never place the major secret of raising Gu with living people in the small sect of the Songheguan. It is said that although this is the land of Hanzhong Shu, it can be three thousand miles to the west is the Kunlun faction, and there are often Kunlun disciples walking near here.

Taking 10,000 steps back, Yu Xuzi, the head of Shushan, would not be so stupid and sent his proud disciples to check.

Suddenly, a spiritual light appeared in Yuanbao's heart, and he said, "What do you two have of any idea about the destruction of Songhe Temple and the Seven Star Gate?"

The empty phase shook his head and said, "There is no clue at all, did Yuan Shaoxia think of something?"

Yuan Bao saw that Xiaoqi Town was still far away, and said as he walked: "Could it be the imperial court?"

"The Imperial Court?"

Master Li frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

The empty phase on the side shook his head and said: "Impossible, the Ming Dynasty has only been established for less than twenty years, and even if Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has the ability, it is impossible to cultivate such a large number of cultivation masters so quickly." ”

Yuan Bao groaned: "Senior girl, I remember you said that in addition to the Songhe Temple and the Seven Star Gate, the predecessors of Yuxuzi sent you down the mountain to secretly investigate the Xiaoyao Gate. ”

Master Li nodded and said, "Yes, there are a total of twelve small sects, I am in charge of Songhe Temple, Seven Star Gate, and Xiaoyao Gate, and the other senior brothers will investigate the other nine sects."

Yuan Bao hurriedly asked, "But are they all Taoist sects?"

Master Li frowned, thought for a while, and said slowly: "It's all Taoist sects. ”

Yuan Bao said: "Are they all orthodox Sanqing Taoist sects or Quanzhen Taoists who have just emerged for more than two hundred years?"

"You mean...... Master Li also seemed to think of something, and said, "Could it be ......?"

Seeing that the two of them were playing dumb riddles, they couldn't figure it out for a while, and said, "What are you talking about? Isn't the Dao Sect in the world one family? How can it be divided into three Qingdao Dao and Quanzhen Dao?"

Yuan Bao said: "This is the same as your Buddhist family, isn't there also Buddhism in the Central Plains and Buddhism in the Western Regions?"

At that time, the cultivation of the Tao was extremely prosperous, and the six schools of Tao, Demon, Buddha, Demon, Ghost, and Witch stood side by side. Among them, the three schools of Taoism, Demons and Buddhism are the most prosperous.

The Taoist sect has always been led by Kunlun, Shushan, Wuxingmen, and Xuanbing Palace, and the holy land is in Longhu Mountain. The Buddhist sects are led by the Bodhi Temple in the Middle Earth, the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Regions, and the Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain, and its holy place is the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Regions.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Demon Dao retreated to the wilderness, the Tao and the Buddha competed, and then there was a Quanzhen Taoist school, which was created by the Venerable Master Wang Chongyang, Wang Chongyang fused the ideas of Sanqing Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, and became a system of its own, and was very active in the north of the Yangtze River, and once received seven disciples, the name of which was called the Northern Seven True People.

And the lineage passed on by the Venerable Master Wang Chongyang is also known as the North Road. Shushan, Kunlun and other three Qingdao provinces are called South Road.

The rise of the North Road has only been more than 200 years, and it has been dominating the north, and the Taoist temples are all over the place, and there have reached hundreds of them. Among them, the main cores are in Zhongnan Mountain and Wudang Mountain.

The reason why the northern road developed so rapidly was inseparable from the Great Yuan Dynasty, when the head of the Northern Seven True People Qiu Chuji had three times into the Mongolian wasteland for a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan to preach, won the weight of Genghis Khan, with the expansion of the Mongolian iron horse in the northwest, the Quanzhen Taoism took the opportunity to enter the Western alien race. After Kublai Khan unified the Central Plains, he vigorously admired Quanzhen Taoism, and the emperor Yanjing of the Yuan Dynasty canonized the Quanzhen Sect as the protector of the country.

Although the cultivation realm is bound by thirteen heavenly rules and is not allowed to interfere in mortal affairs, all dynasties and dynasties are not worried about those cultivators hidden in the depths of the mountains, and they will cultivate and win over the cultivation sect and secretly compete with the ancient cultivation sect.

The means of the Yuan Dynasty was to cultivate and promote the Northern Dao, and the means of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was to secretly establish the Royal Cultivation Regiment, after 20 years of development, the Royal Cultivation Regiment has begun to take shape. Especially three years ago, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang made Qingliang Sanren, the head of the Wudang faction in Wudang Mountain, the first teacher to protect the country, which increased the strength of the royal cultivation group.

The people of the five major factions all know that Zhu Yuanzhang must have attracted many small factions in the past 20 years, especially the Northern Dao Quanzhen lineage, but he has not touched the root of the five major factions, so they all turn a blind eye.

If the Songhe Temple and the Seven Star Gate are related to the imperial court, then this matter is not trivial, because the Song Crane View is the Three Qing Dao, and the Seven Star Gate is created by the elders of the Five Elements Gate, one of the five major factions. Several other sects are also ancient Taoist sects with a long history. In other words, the hand of the imperial court has reached the nest of these ancient Taoist sects.

Today, the righteous path is led by the five major sects, plus more than a dozen medium sects, and hundreds of small sects of cultivation. All the disciples together should be 100,000. But there are millions of lions in the imperial court. Although the cultivator is extremely tight, he can fly when he encounters a sword, and behead people and a thousand steps away, but if he wants to tear his face and compete with the imperial court, it is absolutely not possible. If it violates the rules of heaven and angers the immortals of the upper realm, these five major factions will not be able to eat and walk around.
