In an unknown and strange mountain, there is a clear stream that passes through flowers and trees, circling several times, and falls straight from the top of the mountain into a small pool. The stream is cold, but the pool is full of water vapor, and there are large strings of bubbles from time to time.

It gushes out from the bottom of the pool and looks like it's almost boiling.

In this pool of boiling water, there were two other people soaking in it, not caring about the boiling soup that was enough to cook meat and vegetables.

Dongshou was extremely handsome, with black hair hanging loosely around his shoulders, and an almost perfect figure. However, his skin was criss-crossed with dozens of large and small wounds, two of which were transparent from front to back and actually penetrated his chest. This man was exactly

Chu Han, who was living in the clouds, looked heavy at this moment. He obviously had something undecided in his heart. He mechanically held water in his hands and kept pouring it on the wounds. The wounds on his body had stopped bleeding, and there were strips of white flesh.

, as soon as the pool water is poured on it, wisps of white smoke will appear. After the smoke dissipates, a little new flesh will grow out of the wounds everywhere.

Secret medicine has been put into this Hongtan water, turning it into a pool of Wuzhuan golden liquid soup, which is the secret healing method of Yunzhongju.

The west end of the pool was soaked in a rocky place. She was only wearing an inner garment, which could barely cover her body. In the pool water, her skin was so white that it was so dazzling that even the mist could not hide the leakage.

of snow white.

Shi Ji's body was also covered in scars, obviously from a fierce battle. In particular, there was a deep wound on his chest, which was more than a foot long. It started from his left shoulder and went straight into his underwear in the middle of his chest. I don't know if it was there.

How long? Shiji's injury is healing rapidly. Although her Taoism is not as strong as Chu Han's, she has a special constitution and recovers much faster than Chu Han.

"I really don't understand. Why are you still hesitating?" Shi Ji said softly while cleaning his body: "Are you really going to follow what she said and protect Ji Ruochen like this all the way? If it weren't for Wu Wu this time

Uncle Lan suddenly came down from the mountain, and our lives depended on Luoyang. Isn't it enough to achieve this step?"

Chu Han stared at the rippling water waves without saying a word, still washing his body mechanically.

Shi Ji swam over from the other end of the pond, stopped behind Chu Han, gently stroked his back muscles with his hands, and said: "I heard that after the incident in Luoyang, the Taoist Sect will come to propose marriage.

Moreover, it is said that the recruitment notice was handwritten by Master Ziwei. Master Ziyang personally led Master Zhumai to climb the mountain together. This honor is the ultimate..."

Chu Han's back muscles twitched slightly, and thin drops of blood oozed from the wounds that had gradually healed.

Shi Ji wiped a drop of blood with his fingertips, put it on the tip of his bright red tongue, tasted it carefully, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said in Chu Han's ear: "Also, where is this Ji Ruochen?

Why was Gu Qing willing to commit himself to him as soon as he saw him? Many people are now rumoring that Ji Ruochen is the reincarnation of a banished immortal. Since so many people know it, there is a high probability that he is not a banished immortal. But his origins

There must be some mystery in it. Several real people from the Tao De Sect know about this mystery. Several masters of our sect should also know it, and it is impossible for Lu Qing not to know about it. But do you know? Although several masters

Everyone recommends you as the perfect candidate to be the next headmaster, but how come you don’t know anything about such a big thing?"

Shi Ji put his arms around Chu Han's shoulders, and pressed his whole body against Chu Han's back, saying: "Do you... really want to watch their bridal chamber with flowers and candles, and practice together?"

With a bang, a pool of water suddenly rose into the sky and evaporated completely in the air.

Chu Han stood up and waved his hand, and clothes flew from a few feet away. He put on his clothes calmly and walked forward.

Shi Ji shouted behind him: "Where are you going! Your injury hasn't healed yet!"

Chu Han kept walking, without looking back, and said calmly: "No matter how she treats me, I will always do what I promised her."

Shi Ji stood in the empty pool and paused angrily. She was annoyed for a moment, then suddenly smiled again, grabbed her clothes, and chased after Chu Han.

A few days later, the Daodezong masters and their disciples returned to Xixuan Mountain. Different from the high spirits when they left the mountain, everyone held their breaths solemnly and remained silent when they returned. Four Taoist priests carried an ebony wooden box.

The upper part is covered with black brocade, and along the long sapphire steps, you step into the main hall of Taode. Sleeping in the wooden box is Zhang Jingxiao, the head of Taixuan Peak and one of the Eight Meridians.

Ziyang and other immortals walked at the end of the team. They did not control their energy and fly, but walked up the mountain step by step like ordinary disciples. ** Lan walked among the immortals, calm and composed, but her face was a little abnormally pale.

On this day, the bell in Taishang Daodeguang's palace rang for evening classes only once.

The entire Supreme Moral Palace was completely silent. When disciples passed each other, they only glanced at each other.

At nightfall, all the immortals gathered again in Sanqing Hall to discuss matters. This time, Li Lan was also sitting in the hall.

On Mogan Peak, there were dense clouds, no stars or moon visible.

**Lan adjusted her appearance, stood up and bowed to Master Ziyang, saying: "Now that the matter has come to this, I would like to ask Master Ziyang to put the overall interests of the whole sect first. My husband's body will be buried on Taixuan Peak. I have made up my mind.

, please also ask Master Ziyang to make it happen!”

Ziyang looked at the calm-faced Jinlan, stroking his beard and pondering for a long time, then said: "Let me think about this matter again, you can go back to Taixuan Palace to rest first, and the body of Master Jingxiao will be placed in the cold pool of clear water first.

, so as not to suffer from the invasion of summer heat and dampness."

**Lan saluted all the immortals and left the hall.

That day, Master Jingxiao was attacked and fell, and all the masters immediately noticed it. Master Ziyang immediately gave up tracking the Divine Luck Map and moved the Star Control Formation to protect the body of Master Jingxiao. Fortunately, the other cultivators were eager for treasures and most of them chased after him.

He followed the Divine Luck Map, but failed to take the opportunity to kill him.

After inspecting Master Jingxiao's injuries, all the masters looked solemn. This sword was extremely fierce, and the person who struck it had extremely high cultivation. With one sword, Master Jingxiao's energy was completely cut off, and the three souls and seven souls were also catalyzed.

Seventy-seven or eighty-eight. Master Jingxiao can only keep a little bit of his soul intact by relying on his profound cultivation.

**The reality of Lan Xiuwei's Dao Xing and Zhumai Zhenren are almost the same. After seeing Jingxiao's injury, he already knew it well. With the combined efforts of all the Daodezong Zhenren, Jingxiao might be saved by spending five more sect-protecting treasures. But.

Even if there is a way to return to heaven, Zhang Jingxiao will definitely lose all his moral conduct and become a mortal from now on. In the battle of Luoyang, the Taoism Sect made many enemies. At this time, if all the real people are to suffer great damage to their moral conduct, they may not be able to save Jingxiao.

It's a small gain but a big loss. Moreover, in the future fights with various factions, it is inevitable that the real people will be harmed. The five treasures that must be used to save Jing Xiao can at least save two dying real people.

Just now, Master Ziyang and **Lan have been arguing for a long time about Master Jingxiao. Ziyang wants to save him, but **Lan firmly refuses. Although **Lan has left, all the masters are still silent. In terms of reason,

Naturally, we should save Jingxiao, but this should not be the case in the overall situation. No matter what choice we make, it is so difficult to weigh the two aspects. Unknowingly, all the masters looked at Master Ziyang.

Master Ziyang frowned, and just said that we would discuss it later, and all the Masters dispersed.

Ziyang sat alone in the hall, meditating for a moment, then got up and headed to the back mountain. Not long after, he had climbed to the main peak of the back mountain and stood in a lonely pine wood hall. The hall was simple and neat, with only an altar, a confession, and a cushion. .On the altar hangs a portrait of Patriarch Guangchengzi, a pair of incense candles, an incense cauldron, and a small copper bell on the altar.

Master Ziyang added a stick of incense to the incense cauldron, paid homage to Patriarch Guangcheng, then took the copper mallet, struck three times on the bell, and then sat down cross-legged on the cushion.

Not long after, a little man who was more than a foot tall appeared in the cigarette curling up on the confession table. Judging from his clothes, he was none other than Ziwei Zhenren. This was the external body transformed by Ziwei Zhenren's magical power, and he appeared through it. , so as to have a conversation with Master Ziyang. At this time, Master Ziwei is about to ascend, and his true body is hidden thousands of feet deep below this wooden palace. Until the moment of ascending, he will never come out again. This death gate is the Jade Qingzhen The extremely high realm in the art, if it can be broken through and ascended, the rank of the Immortal Class will not be low. However, although this death barrier is not disturbed by external objects, you still have to fight against the inner demons of heavenly calamity alone, and the danger is even more dangerous than ordinary ascending. .

Ziyang said slowly: "I'm sorry to disturb Master Qingxiu. I'm here this time because of Jing Xiao's affairs."

Zi Wei closed her eyes and said nothing. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "Jing Xiao can be saved, but his moral character cannot be saved. What do you think, senior brother?"

Ziyang stroked his beard and said: "He should be saved."

Zi Wei nodded and said: "In this case, Jingxiao still has the hope of returning to reincarnation and the immortality of spiritual consciousness. It's just that the world is in chaos, and all kinds of evil spirits and foreign enemies will appear one after another. Secondly, I have seen the sunrise in Zifu frequently recently. , there is smoke in the Huating, and the period of ascension is closer than expected. I think within three years, I will go through the tribulation. At that time, senior brother will have to defend against the enemies externally, and strengthen the muscles and bones internally. If these five treasures are lost, senior brother can cope with it. Got it?"

Ziyang said slowly: "The Great Dao is planned by people and proved by heaven. Anyway, the calamities are coming, and the presence or absence of these five treasures will not determine the overall situation. If our sect has to rely on external things like the Five Treasures to survive this troubled world, what will happen to the Taoist tradition?" How can it be passed down for three thousand years?"

Zi Wei waved his hand, and a dark blue dove egg-sized orb appeared in front of Master Ziyang. The orb was dark blue in color, and it seemed to have its own heaven and earth inside, with the night sky above and the vast sea below. If you look closely, there is a thing in the sea. The bright moon hangs low.

Ziwei said: "With this Blue Sea Moon Pearl, I can save Jing Xiao's life. There is no need to use the five treasures."

Ziyang frowned and said: "But the master still needs this bead to resolve the heavenly catastrophe. What will happen if he misses his ascension?"

Ziwei smiled and said: "Senior brother, how can you not see through it? If I need this bead to resolve calamity, then I shouldn't get the fruit of ascension."

Ziyang raised his long eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, I am persistent."

Zi Wei asked again: "What are senior brothers going to do with this child Ruochen?"

Ziyang pondered for a moment and said: "My sect can accommodate the world, so how can we not tolerate him? This child has a strong mind, but he is a little too persistent. The countless opportunities between him and our sect cannot be easily severed. ? Let him walk around for a while, Ruochen will come back soon. I will send someone to take care of him secretly. "

Zi Wei nodded, and her figure slowly disappeared. Master Zi Yang took the Blue Sea Moon Pearl and left the palace.

Dongmang Mountain is located in Luzhou, Henan Province. The mountain is not high, but it is quiet and far-reaching, with a unique cave. Ji Ruochen was sitting on a protruding rock beside a stream on the top of the mountain, giving him the shopkeeper's piece of land that was more than a foot square, shaped like

He looked at the fish scale thing repeatedly for a long time, and repeatedly tested it with his true energy and spiritual energy, but he couldn't find any mystery. He finally sighed and put the piece of thing into Xuan Xin's fingers.

Ji Ruochen had been walking alone in the mountains for several days, spending an hour or two every day studying this thing, but he still found nothing. But no matter how stupid Ji Ruochen was, he knew by now that the shopkeeper and his wife were very ordinary people. They Zheng Er

Even if the things that are given to him must be extraordinary, he is just of low moral character and short-sightedness, so he cannot discover the mystery now. But Ji Ruochen is not in a hurry. Anyway, there is plenty of time at the moment. If you study slowly, you will understand one day.

Recalling the days when I worked tirelessly on Xixuan Mountain every day just to increase my Taoist practice and read a few more pages of Taoist books, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Even if all the real people are tolerant and can forgive him for pretending to be an immortal, Ji Ruochen has already used the method of bringing evil stars into his life twice, so there is no hope of ascension? The hard work of the Eight Meridians has been wasted countless times in the past five years.

How should he calculate the magic weapon and medicinal materials? Although he had no choice but to do it, first of all, you real people may not think so, and secondly, he was alone, carrying heavy treasures and going down the mountain to practice, and he was simply too fat.

Sheep. I thought it was nothing at the time, but how could so many people know the news and make a special trip to wait for me on the way?

Thinking about it carefully, Ji Ruochen felt that something was wrong.

Ji Ruochen took out another jade slip, looked at it for a long time, and sighed softly. After getting this jade slip, he didn't have time to study it, so how could he have time to supervise Qing Yi's cultivation?

Come to think of it, that gentle and peaceful little demon in green has returned to the Endless Sea right now?

This jade slip contained many Dharma methods, but it did not contain the location of the Endless Sea. Even if he wanted to find Qing Yi, there was no way to go.

At this moment, since he didn't want to go back to Tao Te Sect, Ji Ruochen suddenly felt confused and realized that although the world was big, he didn't know where to go.

Perhaps his life was destined to be bumpy. Ji Ruochen had never had a quiet life for a few days since he could remember, and this was the case now.

He slowly stood up and stared at the valley below.

What a quiet green valley! A wide stream flows quietly at the bottom of the valley, no more than knee-deep. The stones at the bottom of the stream are all light yellow in color, reflecting each other with the lush mountains and forests on both sides.

At the end of the valley, a man was walking out. He turned around leisurely and looked at Ji Ruochen. Although they were far away, Ji Ruochen could still see the faint sneer on his face.

It's Yin Feng.

Ji Ruochen had neither sadness nor joy on his face. He stretched out his right hand and a small tree flew up from the ground. It shed its branches and leaves in the air. When it fell into Ji Ruochen's hand, it had turned into a three-foot stick.

His wooden stick pointed diagonally at the ground, standing high and looking down, standing as stable as Mount Tai.

Yinfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared.

The scene in front of him was so familiar, but Yinfeng could not remember where he had seen a similar scene. A long-lost sharp pain suddenly passed through his mind. Yinfeng could only frown in pain and closed his eyes involuntarily.

Eyes closed.

When Yinfeng opened his eyes again, there was no pain in them, only Senhan's murderous intent! Although he could not remember where or when he had seen a similar scene before, he finally remembered something.

This person should be killed.

Yinfeng's eyes lit up and he walked towards Ji Ruochen.

At this time, ten miles away, on the top of the cliff, Gu Qing stood facing the wind, letting the mountain wind ruffle her hair and dress. She stood with her hands behind her back, holding the ancient sword in its sheath.
