The cliff peak and Diabolus Mountain face each other from a distance, forming an angle. There is a narrow forest between the two mountains. It is shrouded in clouds and miasma all year round. It is inaccessible and monsters appear in it. It is a barrier that separates the Central Plains and the Western Frontier. , local natives usually call it "Barbarian Bone Forest".
Taoist Ziyang, the leader of Kunlun, was wearing a Taoist robe and a purple gold crown. He stood on the top of the cliff with his hands behind his hands, looking at the diabolus mountain covered with thick clouds, thoughtfully. Across the Barbarian Bone Forest, the Kunlun Sect and the Taiyi Sect were facing each other from a distance. It was war or peace, in one fell swoop.
The dignified head of Kunlun, an expert who is admired by everyone in the Western Border Swordsmanship, has an unparalleled demeanor. Taoist Ziyang is unkempt and unkempt, his robes have been washed white, and his chest is faintly stained with oil stains. The corner of his crown was incomplete, with a piece chipped off, making him look like a child losing his teeth, which was ridiculous. However, his eyes were as warm and bright as a young man's, full of the ability to see through the world without losing his compassion and curiosity.
After asking Yu Yao, Lu Wei took her out. Wei Shiqi then climbed up the cliff to the Phoenix Terrace, knelt in front of the headmaster, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Phoenix Terrace is a huge stone shaped like a sacred bird at the top of the cliff. It has flat wings and half of its body protrudes from the cliff. Its sharp beak points far away to the Canglong Cave in Kongzhu Mountain. According to the legend of the local people, there is a saying that "the phoenix strikes the Canglong." It broke through the sky and ran for ninety thousand miles. The emperor of heaven was so angry that he rained down thunderbolts and turned into huge rocks."
Taoist Ziyang’s gaze was as real as anything, making him uneasy. He could only force himself to pretend to be calm, but his expression and behavior could not be hidden from the eyes of the master. This was exactly the effect Wei Shiqi wanted, to reveal his true emotions in front of him without concealment or pretense. This was more powerful than any words spoken between his lips and teeth.
Lu Wei was the head of the Kunlun Gouyan Sect, so he was able to bypass Elder Xing Yue, who was in charge of punishments, and bring the two of them directly to the head. She is the niece of the head of the Ziyang Taoist family, and they are not close to each other. Wei and Yu said that "the matter is of great importance", which also gave her enough reasons to convince herself.
After all, this offended Xing Yue, but Elder Xing and Elder Lu of Gouyan Sect were at odds with each other. She felt pity for her female disciple and did not want her to be wronged again, and would rather break the rules.
Taoist Ziyang moved his hand, and the Hidden Snow Sword flew up from the sword pouch on Wei Shiqi's waist, and slowly fell into his hand. Reluctantly, he flicked his finger, and the flying sword was like a bowstring. It was also trembling endlessly and letting out a low whine that lasted for a long time.
The Zangxue Sword struggled desperately. Ziyang Taoist let go of his hand, and the flying sword flew back quickly and was inserted in front of Wei Shiqi, and most of it was buried in the stone. Wei Shiqi didn't dare to reach out and draw the sword. He glanced at it and thought about it. The Hidden Snow Sword buzzed up, like a tired bird returning to its nest, and steadily put it back into the sword pouch.
Taoist Ziyang’s eyes were like lightning, and he had already seen that Wei Shiqi was not controlling the flying sword through the induction between Tao Fei Sword species. The Hidden Snow Sword was his destiny. Feijian can be so psychic. From this point of view, what the little boy said is not false. Only Ruan Jing in Kunlun can teach him this "sword art". Following Chilong,After the Blue Bird, she finally found the third bloodline of the heavenly demon.
"Get up. If you have anything to say, just say it." The leader spoke lazily, implying that he should not waste the opportunity that Lu Wei had fought for for him.
"Yes." Wei Shiqi felt confident. He believed that with the eyes of the head of Kunlun, he could naturally see the special features of the Hidden Snow Sword, practice the magic with the human body, and temper it with the elixir fire. There are a few people in the world who are proficient in the methods of refining natal objects. He sorted out his thoughts a little, starting from joining the sect of Xiandu, and then went to the outside of Tieling Town, where he used the soul-searching technique to torture Kang Ping, a disciple of Lingxiao Palace. Swinging, like pouring water from a bottle.
From the beginning to the end, Taoist Ziyang kept the same posture, motionless, and listened patiently to what he said without any intention of interrupting. When he stopped, he waited for a moment and then asked gently. : "That's all?"
Wei Shiqi swallowed and said, "Yes." He was a little unsure, and the leader asked what the meaning of this sentence was.
"Come here."
Wei Shiqi followed suit and followed the leader to the sharp mouth of the Phoenix Tower. Under his feet was a vast void, and the Savage Bone Forest was hidden in the clouds and mist, like A lurking big snake, opposite is the majestic Diabolus Mountain, with thick clouds covering the top of the mountain.
Taoist Ziyang rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the clouds on the top of the mountain, and said: "That is the thunder and fire calamity cloud of Taiyi Sect. Under the calamity cloud is Canglong Cave, the leader of Taiyi Sect, unique in the Central Plains. Pan Chengnian, the great monk of the Tribulation Period, personally sat under the three ancient pines at the entrance of the cave. Many sword cultivators from our Kunlun sect, Xu Huang, Xiang Yu, Cui Ji from the Liyang sect, and Shaoling sect were imprisoned. Xie Ju, Ding Yimeng, and Shi Fenghuo from the Yuanrong sect, Bu Yue and Shen Tuping from the Yuanrong sect, Ji Hongru and Qiu Difei from the Pingyuan sect, He Buping and Zhao Zhirong from the Yuxu sect, Han Chisong and Cao Yu from the Xuantong sect, and Xiandu sect. Xi Huzi and Li Shaoyu are the backbone of the side branch, and they are the immediate choice. The seven branches of the side branch are also from my Kunlun lineage. They have guarded the Kunlun Mountains for many years, selected talents, and worked hard without credit. Others can ignore it. I am the leader. You have to know it well."
He turned around and his eyes fell on Wei Shiqi, "Now Taiyi Sect is threatening the lives of so many people to ask for the Mountain and River Energy Lock and the Moonlight Mirror. , It’s just a matter of returning the Moonlight Rotating Mirror. This mountain and river vitality lock is the foundation of our Kunlun sect’s founding. Do you want to change it or not?”
Wei Shiqi’s heart trembled, this kind of influence on Kunlun. How can the choice of fate be dictated by a small character? He looked a little embarrassed and excused himself: "It's a very important matter, and I don't have enough knowledge to speak nonsense."
At this time, if the leader insists on listening to his ideas, he should smile and show his dignity. In order to encourage him and eliminate his worries, Taoist Ziyang said: "What is the character and knowledge of the person Ah Ruan has chosen?" Just use this topic to take the exam and find out if it suits me so that I can pass on my junior brother’s legacy.”
There was quite an implication in his words. Wei Shiqiyi had no time to think about it and said ambiguously: "It has been more than two years since Taiyi Sect's sneak attack on Chixia Valley. Can't we think about it in the long term?"
Taoist Ziyang Sighing: "Procrastination, this is also a way, but there is no time now! Can you see the Canglong Cave opposite? There are already thirteen corpses hanging on the cliff. Every day, Chu Tianyou will kill me A Kunlun disciple. The elders and sect leaders gathered here just to make a decision. You can't just watch Taiyi Sect kill all the Kunlun disciples! Either fight to the death and defeat Lei Huo Jieyun and Pan Chengnian, or There is no other way than bowing your head and surrendering the Mountain and River Vitality Lock."
"Could this be a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Wei Shiqi thought of a possibility. < /p>
Wei Shiqi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Taiyi Sect is considered a well-known and upright sect after all. It is expected that he thinks highly of himself and does something he does not do. Even if he covets the vitality lock of my Kunlun sect, he should find one Justifiable reasons, just a false story. This time they launched a surprise attack on Chixia Valley, regardless of morality, and even used low-level methods such as kidnapping and extortion. The dignified leader openly acted as an accomplice and personally acted as an accomplice. Sitting in Canglong Cave means that they are bound to win."
Taoist Ziyang nodded and said in approval: "Yes, that's the case, but you are wrong in one point. Taiyi Sect's Taoism emphasizes 'winning.' The heaven and earth were created for one's own use, and they did not use anything to benefit the world. They have never regarded themselves as a famous and upright sect. This time, Taiyizong did a great job. It was clear that they wanted to lock the vitality, and they would do anything if they couldn't get it without bargaining. Come out! Look at the corpses on the cliff, which shows their determination."
"What's the magic of the mountain and river vitality lock?"
"The mountain and river vitality lock can't improve it. The cultivation level cannot defeat the enemy, and its only purpose is to continuously draw demon power from the body of the sky demon, just like a rotten straw rope tied to the nose of a cow. As for what kind of powerful sky demon Taiyi Sect wants to deal with, what plan does it have to extract demon power? It’s unknown.”
The leader’s words gave him some inspirations about the Demon Suppressing Tower, the Mountain and River Energy Lock, and the Heavenly Demon. Wei Shiqi vaguely noticed the connection between the three, and he hesitated for a moment. , asked tentatively: "Then without the Mountain and River Yuanqi Lock, will my Kunlun Sect be in serious trouble?"
"With the Qingming Sword, even if Liushi Peak lacks the Mountain and River Yuanqi Lock, it will be no problem." Taoist Ziyang laughed. Ruan Jing had good taste. Wei Shiqi was a smart man and he liked to deal with smart people.
"In this case, Xiaozi feels that people are more important than things. The disciples in Canglong Cave know that there is no outstanding person who will sweep across Liantao Mountain and defeat Taiyi Sect in the future."
Taoist Ziyang held up his palms and smiled, saying: "Those elders and sect masters are noisy in my ears, saying what is tolerable and what is intolerable, I would rather be a broken jade than a tile."It's not right to decide someone else's fate with just one word. If you want someone else's jade to be shattered, you should at least ask the jade's meaning first, just in case he is willing to be a tile in his heart! "
Wei Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Taoist Ziyang patted him on the shoulder, "You are very good, you are what I want! "He smiled brightly, showing his burnt-yellow teeth, as if the worries that had been bothering him for a long time had disappeared with Wei Shiqi's words.
