Today I hold the world

No matter how powerful the yin-deficiency python spirit is, at this time one head is devouring Tao Hanting, and the other one has a limited range of rotation, where can it turn in desperation? It was so frightened that it froze and paused. Before it could twist the python's body, a gap had been slid open between its head and neck.

Fortunately, the volatile size of the knife light was properly controlled. Tao Hanting rolled down from the python's mouth and fell to the ground, his face was cloudy and thick with blood, and he was half-dead in a coma. Tao Hanting rolled up and stepped back five zhang.

The python spirit is originally a genus of yin deficiency, not a pure yang world creature, and can change within a limited range of virtuality and reality. After being slashed by the demon-repelling knife twice, the wound was burned with unbearable pain, and the whole body above half the waist retracted directly. In the hole of the round hole.

In this short period of more than ten breaths, if it wasn't for Zhong Ziyan's quick eyesight and quick hands, Tao Hanting would have been directly dragged into the ground by that thing, so it was not too late.

The two checked his injuries. Except for the damage to his face and skin, his life was safe for the time being. Zhong Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Help him recuperate for a while, and I will go around to check the terrain, in case that evil thing does evil again!"

Ju Kui nodded and began to heal Tao Hanting's injuries carefully.

Zhong Ziyan looked around, and saw that this space was surrounded by a semicircular transparent colorless barrier. The outside was red and black, and there were four ever-bright and green stone pillars inside for lighting. He walked around the barrier, and it turned out that This place is a artificially arranged four-element Qiankun Gong. This formation is formed in one piece. According to the grade, it belongs to the third-order top-grade formation. Zhong Ziyan once saw this formation in the "Tao Zang" chapter. It is colorless and shaped. It is invisible, and it is like running water when touched, and it is specially used to deal with the qi of yin deficiency.

Between the square and the circle, it is about forty feet long and wide, and twenty feet high. Looking at the green stone pillar, this array has been formed for at least three or four hundred years. The waste residue accumulated in the spiritual land was transformed into the excrement of empty energy. Zhong Ziyan thought again at this time, when Master Tao taught himself the secrets of the sect's topography, the reason why he didn't mention this place more was probably because he thought the vent hole was an ordinary thing. , neither surprising nor worrying.

It is impossible to think that when the attack on the vestibule is under way and the people go up the mountain, they are hindered by this inconspicuous thing, and the situation is out of control.

******

In the dream, the sound of fighting was loud and roaring, and all kinds of screams and cries resounded through Qingling Mountain. The black and white pictures and desperate eyes, the endless accusations of resentment and betrayal, and the close relatives of the same clan who exchanged accusations against each other. An unforgettable calamity is an inescapable reincarnation.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, the sky and the earth were clear, Tao Hanting opened his eyes, his vision changed from blurred to clear, and he saw a familiar figure from a distance, that person was quietly standing on the edge of the hole with his hands behind his back, looking down , the black Taoist robe hangs down on the ankles, and strands of white hair on the back of the head are blown and swayed by the wind rushing out of the vent hole.

"you're awake?"

What came into his ears was a beautiful woman's voice, Tao Hanting turned his head to see that this was the second wife of the sect leader, Ju Kui.

Tao Hanting was sitting under a green stone pillar at this time, his mouth opened and closed for a while, unable to speak, Zhong Ziyan saw that he was awake, and quickly moved forward two steps, a warm and soft spiritual force entered his body.

"Thank you, Master." Tao Hanting coughed dryly twice, with a gray face and guilt, and fear of what happened before.

After some understanding between the two parties, Zhong Ziyan learned that Tao Hanting had lost all thoughts at that time, and he threw himself into the Red Cloud Pool and never thought of getting out alive. , you made a big mistake, thinking that you can turn the tide by yourself?"

Tao Hanting felt guilty and ashamed, and kept silent.

There was a long silence in the room, Zhong Ziyan only had his hands behind his back facing Tao Hanting, and after about half a stick of incense, he said:

"This is the end of the matter. After I go out, I will publicly sentence you to be imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the mountain gate, and you will not be able to leave the mountain for a hundred years. The current situation is critical, so please tell us all you know, and discuss together to clean up the evil things in this cave, otherwise we will This trip to the east is really going to cost me nothing."

Tao Hanting originally thought that he had caused the current situation in Qingling Mountain, and the sect leader would not be able to explain the reasons for those dead disciples to the Huaishan families, so he would have to be taken out as an example to others. When he said it, it turned out to be only imprisonment. You must know that another meaning of imprisonment is protection. It is really difficult to repay this kind of protection.

Putting this matter in the eyes of outsiders, the life of a monk is not precious. Just because Tao Hanting is from the Chilongmen, he will not be held accountable for his defiance of military orders. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people died tragically.Even Tao Hanting himself knew that he had made a big mistake this time, and he should pay for his life, but Zhong Ziyan obviously didn't mean it.

This is human nature. Cultivation is not about severing friendship. Selfishness is something that everyone will have, and Zhong Ziyan is no exception.

"Thank you, head, but..." Tao Hanting hesitated to speak, he really didn't have the face to accept such protection.

But seeing Zhong Ziyan wave his hand, he obviously didn't want to hear what he said about the future, the most important thing right now was to solve the evils in this place.

Tao Hanting paused for three breaths, and tried to get up, "This vent hole is an ordinary thing. When I was young, my senior brothers from the same school would bring it down to play, and I heard it from my parents occasionally, so I am more familiar with its structure and origin.

The Four Elephant Qiankun Gong has existed since the beginning of the Lingdi Mountain. After our faction took Qingling Mountain as its own mountain, it has been repaired and replaced. Every year, disciples maintain the formation. It has been safe and sound for hundreds of years.

It's a pity that after the Liu family took over, looking at the wear and tear of the Lvyi stone pillar, I'm afraid it has only been maintained three or two times in so many years. I descended here along the Red Cloud Pool. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was halfway down, there were countless empty-qi python spirits rushing towards it. At the end of the fight, they were unable to catch it. Just as they retreated out of the cave, they were stunned by the biggest one of them swallowing fishy things and almost died. "

"You mean, the yin-deficiency python spirits were born in piles?" Zhong Ziyan was shocked.

With his golden core stage cultivation base and the demon-repelling knife, he couldn't kill him twice, and his perception of his cultivation base was only comparable to the foundation building strength of human beings. If they really appeared in piles, it would be really difficult to clean them up.

"Exactly, what you don't know, Sect Leader, the vent hole is used to transform the residue of the spirit veins. The emptiness inside is useless alone, but if it is combined with the filth of the cold and evil creatures, it can feed extremely ferocious creatures. Evil things, this kind of evil things are mostly loved by cultivators who wander around the ghost market all year round. For them, those evil things are just like the evil cultivators of Acacia encountering the furnace, swallowing them once and then being out of control. Stealth is very similar."

Tao Hanting has been running his own ghost market for a long time, and has always been aware of these things. Although this kind of thing is not tolerated among orthodox Taoist monks, there are many heretics who flock to it. There are all kinds of creatures in the world, and all kinds of environments create all kinds of talents. The Taoist ancestor of Lingbao in the upper Qing Dynasty had a golden rule in "Tao Zang": three thousand sects, eight hundred heresies, 12 kalpas, those who should be robbed will live, and those who should not will die.

The meaning of this sentence is understood by all disciples of the Taoist sect. Heresy is also the way. In front of the Dao, everything is like a humble dog. Physiology is in the front and death is in the back. Those who meet the cause and effect can move forward all the way.

Hearing Tao Hanting's words, Zhong Ziyan already guessed the cause and effect of this ghost event in his mind, and stood in front of the vent for three breaths, making up his mind, "You two stay here, and I will go through it myself!"

Before Ju Kui reached out and grasped it, his figure had already disappeared.

Tao Hanting said from the side: "Don't worry, Mrs. Ju, the head of the sect has already understood the reason for the formation of the dark air here, and it is time to go down to search and confirm. With his methods, his life is unlikely to be in danger."

Ju Kui rolled her eyes angrily, "I haven't said anything clearly, just go down to do things, if something good or bad happens, you don't lose anything, what I don't have is my husband!"

Tao Hanting gave a bitter smile, turned ashamed for a moment, and continued: "The master of Qiqiao Peak has been in charge of Xun Yu all year round. This person's cultivation level is far from the golden core. His ability to cultivate the ghost way last night must be blessed by the secrets of this place. Although it is deep, the fundamental truth will not change. If there is the power to destroy the golden elixir here, how can Xun Yu escape? You must know that if you play with fire, you must first set yourself on fire.

The head of the sect has a profound cultivation base and understands the truth, so nothing will happen as expected. "

These guesses and analyzes are the tacit understanding formed by the brothers who went out to fight with each other. According to the years of acquaintance, Tao Hanting and Zhong Ziyan have been brothers for five or sixty years, so they must know a little more than Ju Kui.

Ju Kui snorted angrily and could only wait quietly.

The inside of the Xie Cave was cold and cold, and he couldn't see things near and far. Fortunately, Zhong Ziyan was a Jindan cultivator, and his spiritual sense searched and scanned, and he didn't warn of spiritual signs. He waved three Yeming Water Talismans with one hand, and finally saw the situation clearly.

This vent hole is extremely wide and extremely long in depth, but the bottom of the rock is not far from the entrance of the cave. It is surrounded on all sides, in the shape of a pool, with a radius of about ten feet. Pao, there are sixteen black iron formations around them that have been blessed with spiritual stones, and the soaring dark energy is using the blood pool as the foundation to go straight up to the clouds. According to what Tao Hanting said, if it is used to feed evil things Feed, how many lives of cold evil creatures have to be killed to build such a large blood pool.

"It seems that the heels of the Liu family's cultivator family are not clean!" Zhong Ziyan was thoughtful, and before he knew it, hordes of Yinxu python spirits rushed towards him.
