Prologue
The night is like ink, and the waning moon is like a hook.
The cold moon and clear light reflect the Lianpo Mountains after nightfall, and the mountains are quiet.
The stream is murmuring, the beasts are crawling, and occasionally a few piercing insect chirps come from the forest, revealing a bit of weirdness.
An arc of about 100 zhang long appeared in the night sky, and then, there seemed to be a howling wind above the nine heavens.
Suddenly, I only heard a thunderclap on the ground, which shook the heavens and the earth.
The entire mountain forest was struck by lightning, igniting a raging fire and spreading.
"Enemy attack!" In the depths of Lianpo Mountain, a rapid warning suddenly sounded, and the sound of breaking the air continued.
A dim cloud on the horizon that was originally hidden beside it was rapidly expanding, and in the blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed by black clouds, moving forward in the wind and thunder.
The torrential rain poured down, and the heartbeat of people also accelerated.
Rain with wind, electricity and thunder.
Take a closer look at the continuous rain, there are countless figures shaking, swords and lights, brocade clothes walking at night, and murderous jumping down from the air.
For a time, the mountains and forests were mixed with earth-shattering firelight under the cover of night, and the terrible sound continued, and it was bloody.
Lianpo Mountain is a scenic spot on earth and is one of the seven wonderlands of Yuntai.
Its mountain scenery is beautiful, there is this reputation, in addition to the abundant aura, immortals and treasures everywhere, more importantly, the inheritance of more than 1,000 years of Taixuanmen is located here.
At the same time, in the Taixuan Gate, nine low cheers suddenly sounded in nine directions.
I saw nine earthy yellow rays of light rising from the peaks of the mountains where they were located.
The light converged and turned into a huge mixed element light curtain, looking from afar, covering the sect for hundreds of miles.
Between the flow of halos, there should be ninety-nine numbers, endlessly, looking thick and condensed, like a nine-sided Vajra shield, supporting heaven and earth, and resisting all the wind, rain, thunder and lightning from the outside world.
At the moment when Taixuanmen opened the mountain protection formation.
On the Infinite Peak, a gray figure galloped out, igniting the night sky like a white rainbow through the sun, crashing into the rapidly coming, infinitely expanding black clouds.
For a moment, the whole mountain range was reflected as if it were day, stabbing people's eyes, and they lost their sight for a short time, and there was an illusion that one could not tell the difference between day and night.
"Boom" The two met, and thunderous sparks splattered out.
A few hundred-year-old trees that were a little closer to each other were burned to scorched earth in an instant, but the black clouds remained condensed, seemingly boundless, and became more and more gloomy and terrifying.
"Heaven and earth are incapacitated, Taixuan is the heart of heaven, ninety-nine will destroy the world, and all living beings will be ashes. An obscure chant came out slowly.
The sound is not deafening, but it is ancient and vicissitudes, as if it has lasted forever, and everything trembles.
Between heaven and earth, there is a mysterious and mysterious breath permeating, indescribable, unclear.
In the mountains and forests, whether it was the birds and beasts that were desperately fleeing, or the black-clothed people who were still fighting fiercely with the disciples of Taixuanmen a moment ago, they all showed inexplicable frightened expressions.
"Whew", the mountain wind blows, and the world is silent.
Their bodies and expressions were frozen in this moment, motionless.
In that unknown fear, it dissipated with the wind, and it was empty all around, as if it had never appeared.
After killing the enemies from the periphery, the gray figure turned around and turned to be an old man who was almost ancient. I saw that his beard and hair were all white, his eyes were like electricity, and he shouted into the air: "Since you are here, why hide your head and show your tail and lose face." ”
The red and blue light in the old man's sleeve shone brightly, brushing towards the depths of the black clouds.
The void seemed to be enveloped in its sleeve, spinning endlessly, and water and fire surged in unison.
One side is cold and biting, and the other side is a fire lotus dance.
The blend of water and fire is a strangulation trend, and there is wind and rain, and the sky is thundering.
The black clouds shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye, and seemed to reveal what they were hiding in the next moment.
At this moment, a slightly angry cold snort came from the depths of the black cloud.
There was a dragon groan, as if there was some kind of supreme will suddenly descended, its majestic and domineering, as if it could make the sea go against the current, heaven and earth repeatedly.
The void could not bear its weight, and it faintly cracked open one after another, and then exploded in an instant, and the earth, water, wind and fire were annihilated with it.
The old man in gray was like a heavy blow, and he shot back, and his body was muffled, and blood was in the air.
"Great Elder!" everyone in Taixuanmen exclaimed.
The light of the mountain gate closed, and the old man who had suffered heavy damage was instantly swept into the mountain gate.
The old man is the head of the nine elders of the Taixuanmen, Qing Xuzi, except for the head of the sect and the elder Taishang, his skills have already reached the peak, but now he has been shaken by the people in the black clouds to disperse the meridians, and the aura is collapsed, and he is dying.
Qingxuzi took a strong breath and said: "There is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me, this is a catastrophe for my sect, go to the back mountain to tell the ancestor quickly." ”
Unlike the war in front of the mountain, the back mountain is still quiet and far-reaching, and it is a forbidden place for Taixuan.
In the phaseless pool, the flowing water is murmuring and the fairy mist is swirling.
A boy with a crane-haired face on a stone in the middle of the pond sits cross-legged.
On the opposite side is an ice sculpture, in which is sealed a beautiful young man, his every breath is extremely heavy, as if he is suffering inexplicable pain, his expression is sometimes struggling, sometimes meek, and the bitterness is constantly changing.
The boy suddenly opened his eyes, and with a cold light in his eyes, he looked at the mountain ahead.
"It's still a little while, I can't wait. He muttered, his voice full of vicissitudes.
His hand pointed to the bottom of the pool, and the water boiled instantly.
The aura in the forbidden land was introduced into the ice sculpture, and the entire ice sculpture became more condensed and transparent. A layer of light appeared outside it.
"The sect has been robbed, the head of the sect is missing, the old man, as an elder, has an unshirkable responsibility, and now he will pass on the order to you. This order is a symbol of the identity of the Taixuanmen masters of the past dynasties, and it also carries the broad essence of my Taixuan Dao, you have to keep it alive. ”
"I have transferred the savings of the sect for thousands of years to the Taixuan Secret Realm, only the holder of the order can open it, although there are creation opportunities left by predecessors in the secret realm, but if it does not reach the realm of heaven and man for a day, it cannot be activated, so as not to encounter accidents" The boy said solemnly.
An ancient token in his sleeve instantly sank into the Xuan Ice.
After doing this, the boy took out a palm-sized circular compass from his bosom, on which there were many stars and obscure patterns, but they were old and mottled. It's even more auraless, but like an antique unearthed in the world.
"Alas," the boy sighed.
"When I got this thing, the senior only said that it was "the Fallen Hell". But what is the effect, I don't know after nearly 100 years of groping in the door, it's really dull, so let's take it with you. ”
The aura in the entire phaseless pool gradually thinned, and the young man in the ice calmed down after absorbing this majestic aura.
He looked at the boy in front of him in a daze, he didn't know what he was thinking, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, he wanted to say something, and finally fell silent again.
It's just that there seem to be tears in his eyes, which is a sadness that does not match his age.
"You don't have to be obsessed, after living for so long, Ancestor and I have already looked down on life and death. I know your mind. I've been naughty since I was a child.,Over the years, I've been like a demon king in this mountain.,I've been beaten a lot.,Every time I get into trouble, I run to me to hide.,And steal my monkey wine.,Don't think I don't know.,Ancestor.。 The boy smiled, but a little sad.
"You have a free and easy heart, and you shouldn't be bound by the responsibility of Taixuan, but since you have the true inheritance of Taixuan, you are my disciple of Taixuan. Taixuanmen preached the world and set up a teaching altar in the red dust to solve the confusion of sentient beings. With the heart of a child, he broke the nonsense and fought for his life with the sky, and hoped that everyone would be like a dragon and the world would be prosperous. Even if the door is destroyed, I will continue the Tao, this is also my wish. ”
When the boy said this, there was a momentum of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and the color remained unchanged, and he was fearless. It seems that time has gone back to the scene when I was a little disciple and worshiped Taixuanmen for the first time.
The sky is high and the clouds are wide, the clouds and cranes are dancing, and the three thousand disciples bow their heads to thank the teacher.
"Today I left a fire for Taixuan, and one day it will burn through this half of the sky. The boy glanced at the green mountains and rivers around him with a complicated face.
I saw that a flame was burning on his body, and this flame was as transparent as it could not be seen or touched, but it was its fire.
The entire Lianpo Mountain Range trembled, and an ancient array engraved with the two sides of Yin and Yang floated out from the bottom of the Phaseless Pool.
When the array was spread out, the whole world was darkened, and it was like day in an instant.
Tai Xuan's countless years of hard work, all the large and small formations spread throughout the Lianpo Mountain Range emitted a strong light, extremely bright.
"Shattered. ”
The boy's tired voice came out, his appearance rapidly aged, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into an old man who was about to die, and his cultivation turned into the driving force that urged the operation of the Yin and Yang Array.
"You get nothing, ridiculous, pathetic. "At the last moment, the boy dissipated in heaven and earth with bitterness and hope.
As the heavens and the earth cracked, the light of destruction came!
The ice sculpture on the boy's body gradually melted, and the light on his body protected him as the only one in the darkness. Constantly falling, falling, like a never-ending abyss, swallowed and buried.
His heart was like a knife, and the resentment in his heart exploded like a mountain torrent!
He began to shout loudly, hoarsely, desperate for catharsis, until his throat was hoarse, his eyes were split, and he was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes.
There was a faint sound of wind in my ears.
In the blur, it seemed that something was calling him in that distant place, making him feel a trace of warmth, like a return to the light before death.
His eyes were red, and he couldn't tell whether it was blood or scenery.
When I first saw the red maple forest that year, he didn't cry or make trouble, wrapped in an old cotton jacket, and hung a piece of white fat jade around his neck, which was engraved with a vigorous and powerful "Wei" character. The wind blew down the frost red, the lightning thundered, the whole world was darkened, a round of jade toad rose, as if there was a dog barking, it was bitten and chewed, and the bright moon was missing.
