It is deep winter, and heavy snow is flying on Gulang Mountain, thousands of miles of ice. The white snow has decorated this ancient and mysterious mountain in silver and is extremely enchanting. The mysterious fog that never dissipates all year round is still surrounded by the mountainside. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can only vaguely identify the slender mountain of Gulang Mountain and the peak that penetrates into the sky.

On this day, against the vast white snow, two black shadows appeared at the foot of the mountain.

These two black shadows are Qingmu Lu and Tathagata who returned from the Demon Realm. At this time, the two stood at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the top of the mountain, watching the snow fluttering, and the mist.

Tathagata saw Qingmulu standing there motionlessly, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said, "Qingmu Guardian, is it the Tianhuan Temple on this mountain?"

Green Aoki nodded, but did not look back at Tathagata. At this time, he was releasing his powerful spiritual sense to search for creatures within a radius of ten miles. After finding that no one was following him, he withdrew his spiritual sense, turned to look at Tathagata, and said lightly: "We are going into the mountain. Follow me, calm your mind and don't look around."

Tathagata was slightly stunned, looked up at the mysterious fog on the hillside, and nodded solemnly. He naturally knew that although the Tianhuan Temple had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, it had never been discovered. In other words, even if someone knew that the temple was on this mountain, he could only look at the mountain and sigh and say nothing.

Aoki Lu stopped talking and raised his hand to tighten Zhu Feng and Sang Yu, who were sandwiched between his arms, then he rushed towards the mountain with a little toe.

Tathagata did not dare to be negligent, so he spread his body and followed closely behind. He followed Qingmu Green to the hillside, and the two stopped on a protruding huge rock. He found that the huge rock was the dividing point between the two hillsides. Looking down from the rock, the white snow at the foot of the mountain was visible. But looking towards the top of the mountain, he could only see a milky white mist blocking most of his sight. Even if he gathered his eyes, he could only penetrate less than one foot away. He was secretly shocked, knowing that this white mist was not an ordinary water mist, and it was very likely to be a illusion.

Just as he was thinking this way, Aoki Lu's cold voice came from his ears: "What are you looking at?"

Tathagata was startled and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Qingmu Lu snorted, turned her head and stopped looking at Tathagata, but carefully placed Zhu Feng and Sang Yu on the huge rock, then took out a handful of strange-shaped, shiny, key-like thing from her arms, bent down to find a hidden small gap below the huge rock, and stuffed the key in. The key was instantly lit up, and a faint rumbling sound came from the mountain. The mysterious fog in front of the huge rock suddenly faded, revealing an ancient stone path.

It was true that the stone path was winding and leading to the abdomen of the mountain. The stone path was quite strange, less than two feet wide, covered with black and white stone slabs, and on both sides were smooth stone walls as steep as a knife. I couldn't help but wonder, thinking that no wonder no one knew the whereabouts of the temple for thousands of years. It turned out that there were so many wonderful mechanisms in it.

Seeing that the stone path had appeared, Qingmu Lu did not stop, and once again sandwiched Zhu Feng and Sang Yu between his arms. He was about to walk onto the stone path, but seemed to think of something, and turned to Tathagata and said, "This stone path will automatically disappear after half a stick of incense."

After saying that, he stepped onto the stone path and walked step by step into the abdomen of the mountain.

Tathagata was stunned when he heard this, then silently remembered it in his heart, and followed it in. Along the way, he secretly paid attention to every detail of Qingmulu and found that Qingmulu was walking very slowly, and every step he landed on a white stone slab. He naturally understood that there was something strange about the black and white stone slabs, and he followed Qingmulu all the way without any danger.

After walking for a while, Tathagata suddenly looked back, and this glance immediately scared him to the point of no one's face. The stone path behind him had long disappeared, and the thick fog rolled in. What made him even more frightened was that every time he took a step forward, the stone slab behind him disappeared, and the fog became closer.

Although Aoki Lu never looked back, she seemed to notice the actions of Tathagata and couldn't help but warn coldly: "I said, don't look around, otherwise you will be confused and you will be responsible for the consequences."

Tathagata quickly turned his head and did not dare to look at it again.

After about half a stick of incense, Tathagata saw a tall stone door appearing in front of the stone path from afar. At this time, the light outside could no longer be emitted. Instead, the wall lights on both sides of the stone wall illuminated the stone path very clearly.

Qingmu Lu pulled a stone ring outside the stone door, and the heavy friction sound rang out in this confined space. After opening the stone door, a staircase extending downward appeared in front of him. Qingmu Lu walked in first, and Tathagata hurriedly followed behind.

After going down the stairs, turn over a stone screen and arrive in a huge space.

Aoki Mizuki might not feel anything when she saw her, but this scene fell in the eyes of the Tathagata behind him, and it was such a shocking picture. I thought his Lingshan was already considered grand, but compared with the scene in front of him, he realized what a witch was like.

Although it is just a cave in the mountains, it seems to be boundless at first glance, which is so big that it is unimaginable. The rocks on the cemetery are emitting a strong source of light, just like the sun, shining on the cave. There are flowers, trees, grass, pavilions, and pavilions inside, but they are all made of stones, but from the perspective of fineness, it is difficult to imagine that this is a stone. However, Tathagata just glanced at these, and his attention was on a magnificent palace directly in front of him.

The huge palace not only covers a large area, but is also completely made of black stone. It is majestic. There are also two walls around it to guard it, standing proudly in the center, which makes people afraid and dare not invade.

What surprised him even more was that the thousands of white jade steps under the palace continued to rise, and what a shocking scene it was.

In front of the steps is a big lake. The water is clear and transparent, reflecting the lights on the rock top. It is colorful, like the stars in the sky, which looks very beautiful. There is also a stone pavilion built on the lake, with railings, stone tables and stone benches all available, but there is no one in this huge space, which is really strange.

When Aoki Mizuki saw Ruzu, she was stunned and frowned, and said coldly: "Stop looking, go here."

Tathagata woke up Ru Meng, followed Qingmu Lu to a small path on the other side, looking back while walking, thinking that he was very shocked.

This path is connected to a long corridor to the left of the lake. The light here is much dimmer, and you can vaguely see dense stone chambers on both sides of the corridor, and voices come from time to time.

Aoki Lu walked forward and stopped in front of a stone chamber. He looked back at Tathagata and said lightly: "You wait here first, and you will be called in later."

Tathagata was slightly stunned and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. He thought that he was so arrogant that he had been so coldly treated. However, he knew that this place was no longer his Leiyin Temple, so he had to swallow his anger and nodded.

After Aoki Mizuki finished speaking, she ignored Tathagata and said to Shimen: "Sir, Aoki Mizuki comes to report."

Tathagata was slightly surprised when he heard this. He glanced at the inconspicuous stone gate. Unexpectedly, the famous left envoy of Guangming lived here.

Not long after, a faint voice came from the stone chamber: "Come in."

Aoki Mizuki glanced at Tathagata, turned around and pushed the door and walked in.

In the stone room, Dugu Yan was sitting upright at a stone table, holding a black soul demon sword in his hand. Seeing Aoki Lu coming in and there were two people in his hand, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised and stood up and said, "What's wrong?"

Aokimi put down the two of them, walked to Dugu Yan, and said lightly: "I am fortunate to be unfair and bring the princess back, but..." He didn't say anything, but turned around and looked at Sang Yu who was lying on the ground.

"What? Have you brought the princess back?" Dugu Yan exclaimed after hearing this, and then saw Zhu Feng lying on the ground again. He hurriedly walked over and stared at Zhu Feng's face and was stunned.

Qingmu Lu glanced at Dugu Yan, frowned, but said nothing.

After a while, Dugu Yan seemed a little excited, and his body trembled slightly. He seemed to want to reach out to touch Zhu Feng's face, but he stretched out halfway and shrank back, murmured: "It's indeed her, she looks exactly the same as Yazi."

Aoki Lu frowned even deeper, looked at Dugu Yan, and couldn't help but remind him: "Sir Zuo."

Dugu Yan woke up in shock when he heard this, looked at Zhu Feng deeply, and then saw Sang Yu lying beside Zhu Feng. His face changed and he said coldly: "Who was Sang Yu injured?"

Aoki Mizuno sighed and said lightly: "Witch King Liezhen."

Dugu Yan's body seemed to tremble for a moment, and he said coldly: "What a witch king, Liezhen." Then he sighed and said: "I didn't expect Sang Yu to be defeated in the end."

Aoki Lu shook his head and said, "He and Lie Zhen are actually both in the same position. This time he lost, but the next time he fights, it may be Lie Zhen's defeat."

Dugu Yan glanced at Qingmu Lu, nodded, and smiled and said, "Yes, there is never an absolute victory or defeat for experts in fighting."

Qingmu Lu glanced at Zhu Feng on the ground and frowned and said, "What should you do if you are going to take the princess?"

Dugu Yan was silent for a while, and there was an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Now the Lord God has not yet come out of seclusion, and with the princess here, we finally have a backbone." Speaking of this, he glanced at Aoki Lu and said, "A few days ago, I contacted the four great worshipers and followed your plan."

Aoki Green said quietly: "What's the result?"

Dugu Yan sneered: "I should have won a great victory, but I didn't expect that Zhao Hanshui would come out halfway, but he also grabbed two of them. Now it's a fair share of the situation."

Seeing that Dugu Yan deliberately said the word "temporary" very seriously, Qingmu Lu knew that Dugu Yan was not very willing. Suddenly, his heart moved and looked at Dugu Yan. Seeing that his eyes had indeed fallen on Zhu Feng, he couldn't help but guess a little, and frowned and said, "The princess's memory has not yet recovered. According to the subordinates, I'd better wait until Lord God comes out of seclusion before talking."

Dugu Yan looked at Qingmu Lu strangely and said coldly: "If that old guy comes out of seclusion, I will have nothing left. Now I only need to restore the princess' memory. With her relationship with Sang Yu, I don't think she will help him Zhao Hanshui. I think you are tired too, so go out to rest first, I will heal Sang Yu's injuries."

Qingmu Lu looked at Dugu Yan, turned around without saying a word and wanted to leave. Then he thought of the Tathagata outside, and turned his head and said, "There is one more thing."

Dugu Yan seemed a little impatient and said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Aoki Lu frowned, pointed out of the door, and said lightly: "There is someone outside who wants to see you."

Dugu Yan was slightly stunned, then snorted, and sneered: "Aoki Lu, you are getting more and more courageous. How dare you bring outsiders to the temple privately."

Aoki Green turned around and left without changing his expression, leaving a sentence: "You will understand when you see him."

Dugu Yan looked coldly as Qingmulu walked out of the stone gate, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

After Qingmu Lu came out of the stone gate, he saw Tathagata looking around impatiently. When he saw him coming out, he immediately came up and said, "Gu Gu Dharma Protector, how about it? Did Dugu Zuo Envoy ask me to come in?"

Aoki Green nodded expressionlessly.

Tathagata was overjoyed, and immediately tidied up his outfit, nodded at Qingmu Lu, pushed open the stone door and walked in.

Aoki Mizuno did not leave, but stood quietly outside the stone gate.

After a while, after a conversation, Dugu Yan Haomai's laughter came from the door: "Okay! Tathagata, you will follow me in the future and will never let you suffer any losses."

Aoki Lu frowned slightly, and then heard the voice of Tathagata sounded immediately: "Thank you, Lord Zuo, for your kindness, I will definitely live up to your kindness."

Aoki Mizuno sighed when she heard this, and felt an inexplicable fatigue in her heart. She shook her head and walked away.

At this time, in a stone chamber on the right side of the lake, Zhao Hanshui looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and was quietly listening to the report of a guard under his subordinate. Beside him, there were also arrow god Yi Mo and the guardian named Wei.

Not long after, Zhao Hanshui frowned, looked at the guard, and said in a deep voice: "Did you see clearly?"

The guard nodded affirmatively and said, "My Lord, the subordinate can see clearly that Aoki Lu not only brought the princess back, but also brought an outsider in."

Zhao Hanshui snorted coldly, waved to the guard, and said, "I understand. You go out first and continue to monitor."

After the guards left, Zhao Hanshui showed a signature smile again, spread the bone fan in his hand, looked at Yi Mo and Wei's guardian, and said lightly: "You all heard it too, Dugu Yan is about to climb onto our heads."

Wei Guardian sneered: "Dugu Yan Langzi's ambition is clearly to try to trap the princess to restrain us."

Zhao Hanshui shook his head and smiled and said, "Dugu Yan has always been scheming. Although the princess fell into his hands, he would not openly hold the princess hostage to order Zhao. Besides, he also knows that although the princess' identity is noble, he has always had the final say. I, Zhao, may not take the princess's words seriously. I am a little worried about the outsider who brought to the palace by Aoki Lu. If that person is a master, then our strength will be compared by Dugu Yan."

At this moment, Yi Mo suddenly said, "I just heard that the man was a monk. Could it be that he is a man in the Buddha world?"

Wei Guardian also nodded and said, "It is very likely. But I heard that the Buddha world is now in chaos, and the Buddha today is mysteriously missing. If this person is really a person in the Buddha world, who would it be?"

Zhao Hanshui gently shook the feather fan, looking confident. He glanced at the Wei Guardian and smiled and said, "If Zhao had expected it was good, this person would be the current Tathagata Buddha."

The Protector Wei was surprised and said strangely: "Why did the Lord determine that he is the Buddha of Tathagata?"

Zhao Hanshui said calmly: "It is better to say that the ten thousand-year foundation of the Buddha's realm is not so destroyed in the hands of Tathagata, but Yang Tianxing was the only one who was alone. Back then, Yang Tianxing burned Lingshan, and all the masters of the Buddha's realm were killed, but only Tathagata was spared. Now, he came to surrender to Dugu Yan to revenge this blood sea with the power of Dugu Yan."

The Father Wei's face changed and he smiled bitterly: "So, we must have been compared by Dugu Yan. The Tathagata was one of the seven masters of Brahma, and his cultivation was very impressive. He defected to Dugu Yan, which made the old thief even more like a tiger."

Zhao Hanshui smiled coldly and said, "It's too early to say this now. Whether Dugu Yan is like a tiger or raise a tiger will take some time to verify."

Yi Mo obviously heard what Zhao Hanshui meant and said in surprise: "Sir, you mean..."

Zhao Hanshui laughed, suddenly shot a strange light and said in a deep voice: "The Tathagata is the master of the world, and he is not a general person. The reason why he is willing to surrender to Dugu Yan is to use Dugu Yan's strength to eliminate dissidents for him. To put it bluntly, he and Dugu Yan are just using each other purely. Over time, the problem arises."

Yi Mo's eyes lit up and he also smiled and said, "My lord is right, but what should we do next? You can't sit here and watch Dugu Yan deyi?"

Zhao Hanshui glanced at him and smiled and said, "How is your injury recovering?"

Yi Moxiao said, "It has recovered as before, and its cultivation seems to have improved a little."

Zhao Hanshui smiled and said, "That's good. Next we will discuss cooperation with Dugu Yan."

"Cooperation?" Yi Moxian was surprised.

Zhao Hanshui nodded and said, "No, cooperation. Lord Lord God has been in seclusion for many days, and I must be out of seclusion. I have been resurrected for so many days, so I should do something, otherwise it would be difficult to get in touch with Lord Lord God."

Wei Guardian said: "Are we going to fight the Brahma people now?"

Zhao Hanshui shook his head and smiled, "It's too early to talk about the decisive battle. We just want to give Brahma the pretentious masters a little color to seize Lingxiao Palace."

Yi Mo and Wei guardians looked at each other without saying a word.

Zhao Hanshui stood up and smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go down and rest first, nourish your energy and prepare for a big battle. Zhao will go to meet Dugu Yan at this moment and condolences to the Buddha of Tathagata."
