My brother is so cunning.

A beautiful mountain range stretches across the southern continent of Jambu. The mountains are winding and the trees are lush. From a distance, it looks like a dark blue horse.

This mountain has a beautiful scenery, with cleverly arranged peaks and uneven rocks. You can hear the crowing of golden pheasants on the peaks, and you can see dragons coming in and out of the caves. There are longevity deer and fairy foxes in the forest, and spiritual birds and black cranes on the trees. There are jade grass and flowers under the cliffs, and purple ganoderma and fragrant orchids beside the winding paths.

This mountain is called Lishan. Because it is as beautiful as brocade, it is also called "Xiu Ridge".

The Lishan Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, with mountains and peaks, and jade buildings scattered among the forests on the top of the mountain. There is a large-scale cultivation sect-Lishan Xianzong.

Lishan Immortal Sect was founded by Wu Dang Shengmu, a disciple of Master Tongtian. Shortly after the Conferred God War ended, Wu Dang Shengmu, who fled to Lishan, was attracted by the magnificent scenery of this place. She established the Lishan Immortal Sect under the pseudonym of Lishan Laomu, preserving the last wisp of incense for the defeated Jiejiao, which was almost destroyed.

On a small ridge on the edge of the Lishan Mountains, a female monk stood in front of the gate of the cave on the top of the cliff. She was wearing a white feather dress, with long black and flowing hair draped over her shoulders. She had a beautiful and cold appearance, a noble temperament, and a slender figure.

Standing on the cliff, the female monk looked up, and the first thing that caught her eye was the huge plaque at the entrance of the cave. Generally speaking, the plaque at the entrance of the mountain is written with the name of the cave, but the plaque was densely engraved with several rows of Western Zhou bronze characters.

"Professional flying sword film, second-hand magic weapon renovation, large-scale flying boat maintenance, painting, repairing spirit sails, cleaning the inner liner of old alchemy furnace, undertaking palace, monastery, waterside pavilion, tower, bridge, overseas fairy island, floating mountain peak construction and cave interior decoration projects, recycling all kinds of waste magic weapons, flying swords, second-hand flying boats (fragments and wreckage are also collected), mountain protection array array key lossless unlocking..."

The female monk has a beautiful appearance and a refined temperament. She exudes a lonely and transcendent meaning that ordinary women can hardly reach. She is as beautiful as a mountain elf, but at this time, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, and her cheeks are covered with clouds of worry. She wanders in front of the cave, struggling whether she should go in.

This remote peak is located on the edge of the Lishan Mountains. It is remote and inconspicuous. The female monk has been practicing in the Lishan Taoist Temple for more than 200 years. Today is her first visit here, but this place is quite famous in the sect because of the word of mouth of the Lishan disciples.

The owner of the cave is said to be a strange human cultivator with a lonely and strange personality, and always says strange things that others can't understand.

For example, she can recognize the gold characters on the plaque at the entrance of the cave, but she can't understand what they mean when they are put together.

This female cultivator in white is a third-generation disciple of the Lishan Immortal Sect. She is a crane incarnation, so she has no surname. She only got a Taoist name from her master called "Lingyun".

If she had become an immortal, she could call herself "Lingyun Immortal" according to the title rules of Jiejiao. However, she has not experienced the thunder tribulation yet, and her cultivation realm is the Golden Elixir Realm, so she took the form before the transformation "Crane" as her surname and named herself "He Lingyun".

He Lingyun came to this cave to ask for something. The reason why he hesitated and hesitated at the door was because the owner of this place had a strange rule.

This cave is open to the entire cultivation world. If you come to handle the business written on the plaque, you can get what you want as long as you bring enough spirit stones. If you give enough spirit stones, the owner of this place will provide first-class services. It can be regarded as a conscientious store with a good reputation in the cultivation world in the past hundred years. However, if you don’t bring spirit stones, the owner of the cave will never give credit.

This cave owner has a lot of connections with the Lishan Immortal Sect. He is a surviving disciple of the Jiejiao after the Conferred God War. He is a descendant of the lineage of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and the son of Wen Zhong, the national teacher of the Shang Dynasty. Now that the Jiejiao has declined, Wen Taishi fell on Juelong Ridge and ascended the Conferred God Platform. As a remnant of the Jiejiao, he sought shelter under the tutelage of the Wudang Holy Mother and asked for a remote cave outside the Lishan Taoist temple.

He Lingyun also heard rumors from fellow sisters in the sect that the monks of Lishan Taoist Temple can receive certain preferential treatment when they come here. The owner of this place can give free meals if they meet certain conditions, as they are all remnants of Jiejiao. They can take away brand new magic weapons, flying swords or alchemy furnaces without paying a penny of spirit stones, and can even take away spirit stones directly!

He Lingyun came here to ask the owner of the cave for a new flying sword.

Her flying sword was smashed into pieces by a Zen stick of a monk from the Western Sect when she went down the mountain to collect herbs some time ago. Seeing that the day of the sect competition is approaching, as a sword cultivator, how can she compete with her fellow disciples without a flying sword?

The ranking of the internal competition is related to the treatment in the next fifty years. If you rank last in this disastrous defeat, I am afraid that fifty years of cultivation will be wasted due to insufficient resources. The way of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don’t move forward, you will retreat. After wasting fifty years, it will be more difficult to compete in the next competition. As the saying goes, one step late will lead to every step late, and it will be more and more difficult to have a chance to turn things around in the future.

It is five hundred years after the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods. The cultivation world is gradually recovering from the catastrophe. However, the monks of the Lishan Immortal Sect in the post-Conferred Gods era have not seen much better life. After all, they are the remnants of the Jiejiao, and the three religions of Chan, Shi, and Ren do not like them.

The sect founded by Lishan Laomu still adheres to the principle of "teaching without distinction" of the Jiejiao in accepting disciples, and has accepted many "people with hair and horns, and those who are born from eggs in the wet". Even if these disciples are disciples of the righteous way, they are no different from "evil spirits" in the eyes of the monks of Chan, Ren, and the West.

The reason why He Lingyun fought with the Western monk and destroyed the flying sword was because the other party mistook her for a crane demon. As soon as they met, he shouted without saying a word, "I can see that you are not a human being. How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert? Great Heavenly Dragon, Buddha Ksitigarbha..." and then he killed her with a "righteous" face of "eliminating demons and defending righteousness".

The Lishan disciples who traveled outside the Lishan Dojo were like rats on the street, and they were beaten and beaten by everyone. They were humiliated and wronged. Not to mention obtaining treasures, they could not even compete for the basic resources needed for practice.

Under the vicious cycle, the entire sect became more and more difficult. All the cultivation resources controlled by the sect were no longer enough for all disciples, so they had to conduct regular competitions within the sect to allocate the meager resources to the most outstanding elites.

He Lingyun didn't even dare to tell the elders in the sect that he had damaged his flying sword in a fight with a Western monk. At the end of the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Taoist Hongjun reprimanded the Tongtian Sect Ancestor in front of all the immortals of the three sects for "credulously trusting his disciples. "Trouble occurred", and the blame for the Great Catastrophe of the Gods was placed entirely on the heads of the Jie Jiao disciples.

In order to avoid learning from the past, Our Lady of Wudang set up rules at the Lishan Dojo, strictly instructing her disciples not to engage in emotional disputes with other sects when they go out. Otherwise, they will be responsible for all the consequences. Even if they die, they will die in vain, and the disciples will not collect the corpses. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will still be punished. Punishment will come from within the door!

He Lingyun is now in an extremely embarrassing situation. She is so poor that she only has a feather coat on her body, and her only flying sword worth some spiritual stones has been smashed to pieces. Seeing that the competition in the door is about to begin, as a sword cultivator, she has all the skills They are all on Feijian, and I am afraid they will be at the bottom of the rankings.

She didn't dare to tell her master about losing Feijian. When the time comes, not only will her master not support her, but she will be punished. She can only listen to the rumors of her fellow disciples and sisters and come to this cave to try to see if she can ask for help. A new flying sword to tide you over.

But……

Asking for a flying sword from the master of the cave is not an easy task, otherwise He Lingyun would not be so entangled - according to the sisters, the master of the cave has a weird temperament and the conditions he sets are quite harsh, especially for women. For the monks...

Perhaps because they were ashamed to speak out, the rumors about the sisters who had benefited from him were vague. It was said that asking for a magic weapon with a lower value would only result in a little blood loss, while a magic weapon with a high value would even require the sacrifice of one's body!

Although he is in the form of a crane and does not have a deep understanding of the crimson affairs between human men and women, He Lingyun also has more than two hundred years of experience in crane life. He has never eaten human flesh and has seen people running away. This "bleeding" The condition of "giving your body" sounds very wrong - I don't know if it will be very painful!

Pain is secondary. As a cultivator with great perseverance, the physical pain is easy to endure, but the mental blow is unbearable. For the sake of cultivation, you have to sacrifice your innocence and give it to a strange old human race ruffian. It will be fine in the future. The Tao becomes an immortal, and the immortal life also leaves a stain that can never be erased. A crack of shame will be carved on the transparent Taoist heart!

What's more, He Lingyun He is just like his name. Ever since he awakened his spiritual wisdom, he has had the ambition to reach the sky. He is very proud deep down in his heart. He would rather die than suffer this humiliation.

Her cultivation qualifications can be ranked among the top ten in the Lishan Immortal Sect. Not only does she have top-level heavenly spiritual roots, her understanding is also excellent. In the words of her master Caiyunxian, she is the second-generation disciple who has the best chance of attaining enlightenment and ascending to immortality. One of the few geniuses.

Such a talent, in other sects, would even be supported by the elders of the sect. I don’t know how she will be pampered. However, she is not a human body, and she is worshiped by the declining Jiejiao remnant, even if it is only Lingyun's cranes also have to be raised in poverty, and their treatment is no different from that of free-range chickens.

There is no way, in the post-Fengshen era, even if the demons and immortals with advanced levels of Jiejiao reach the Golden Fairyland or even the Daluo Golden Fairyland, they are reduced to serving as mounts and pets for the Western and Interpretation masters. He Lingyun can only But just a remnant of the Jie Cult who has not yet become an immortal, he should be satisfied if he can live and practice with dignity under the guidance of the Holy Mother Wudang.

If he had not been able to join the Lishan Immortal Sect, even He Lingyun, who had outstanding cultivation qualifications, would not have known which ravine he would live in as a patrolling demon. He might be beaten to death by a passing monkey in a thousand years.

Qing Ben is a beautiful woman, but she has a demonic body. The young lady’s body and the fate of the maid are exactly the true portrayal of He Lingyun. Even with his ambition to reach high, he cannot withstand the sluggishness of life. As a cultivator born from eggs, his breathing is wrong. This was decreed by several Hunyuan saints from the Western Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Ren Jiao!

After lingering at the entrance of the cave for a long time, the female monk bit her lip, as if she had finally made up her mind, and took heavy steps. After fighting with her inner demons, she made a decision!
