Qixuan

In the early morning, Ji Chen rarely woke up earlier than Yan Heng. First, he lay down on his stomach and counted Yan Heng's eyelashes one by one, and almost passed out. He rubbed his eyes, and there was a tendency to do it again.

Yan Heng opened his eyes and saw Ji Chen with round eyes and pointing fingers.

Ji Chen realized that he counted wrong again, and hurriedly said: "Hey, close your eyes and close your eyes, I'm almost done counting."

Yan Heng stretched out his hand to hold Ji Chen's fingers, and said softly, "Okay, I'll count later. There are still important matters today, so we can't miss the hour."

Ji Chen curled his lips reluctantly, he brought his forehead closer, Yan Heng smiled and kissed his forehead.

Only then did Ji Chen get up from the bed in satisfaction, and while putting on his clothes, he said, "Where shall we go first? The mirror of flames?"

Yan Heng nodded.

The Realm of Flames is located at the southern end, close to the southern border, and still some distance away from Nanxiang City. It is hot all year round, and many fire-type monsters have been born here.When Meng Xia was on the border with Tianzhong, the heat of the Realm of Flames was already scorching.

The Realm of Flame is a north-south gorge. The disciples of Tianjimen and Qingxumen entered the valley from the north, while the disciples of the other three schools went to Suhuai and Nanxiang.

As soon as he entered the valley, there was a gust of hot air rushing towards his face. Yuan Qingsu quickly unfolded the barrier to gather everyone in it. The heat offsets that.

Yan Heng and Ji Chen walked at the back of the team. There were caves of different sizes on the canyon walls on both sides, and the unfriendly eyes from inside made people extremely uncomfortable.

Ji Chen looked at the surrounding caves and asked, "What's in it?"

Yan Heng said: "Fire Mouse, don't worry about it."

Ji Chen rubbed Yan Heng with his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I heard that all of you demon masters guard these four demon realms separately, who is guarding here?"

Yan Heng thought for a while and said, "General Wan Gui."

Ji Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "Isn't that Zheng Duanyu's wish? Where is your guarding place, little beauty?"

Yan Heng said: "Xuanming Island in the East China Sea. But I have temporarily sealed it. Although Xuanming Island belongs to the Eastern Continent, it is far away from the mainland of Kyushu. The monsters on it rarely come into contact with humans."

The group of people walked to the center of the valley without seeing a single monster's fur. They saw a seven-storey tower with four corners rising from the ground. The plaque on the north side said "Five Lights", and the plaque on the south side said "Hehai Qingyan" , a bronze bell is hung on the high eaves at the four corners of each floor.

There was a huge boulder in front of the ancient building. General Wan Gui stood in front of the boulder in a black robe. A small dark green grass grew tremblingly from the top of the boulder. It seemed that it was going to be swallowed by the heat of the flames.

General Wan Gui turned around when he heard the sound, his pale face was not at all like a person guarding the realm of flames, on the contrary, the anger in his body did not surge due to the heat, but was extremely weak.

General Wan Gui glanced around the visitors, nodded and said, "You're here."

Ji Chen stood sideways in front of Yan Heng, and whispered sideways: "Why do you feel a little insane?"

Yan Heng didn't answer Ji Chen's question, he stared at General Wan Gui for a while, "His time is approaching, I'm afraid he won't be there for a few years."

Yuan Qingsu was the first to step forward and salute: "Dare to ask senior, is he General Wangui?"

General Wan Gui looked back at Yuan Qingsu and said, "Wan Gui? Now that the King of Ghosts is present and has recruited a large number of ghost cultivators, do I still dare to call myself General Wan Gui?"

Ji Chen pinched Yan Heng's fingers, walked to the front of the team, and saluted General Wan Gui: "Dare to ask senior, are you guarding this blood lotus plant here?"

General Wan Gui nodded, "Yes, I'm waiting for it to bloom. What about you, what are you here for?"

Ji Chen said: "Following the order of the master. Senior, I am afraid that you have spent a lot of effort on the growth of this blood lotus grass."

General Wan Gui looked up at the sky, he turned around and unbuttoned his cloak, the hat hung down to reveal a head of gray and white hair, General Wan Gui did not answer Ji Chen, but said quietly: "I will ask you soon." A strong wind is coming, you little monks may not be able to resist, go into the building and hide."

Yue Lan was taken aback, because the white clothes under the cloak of General Wan Gui were stained with blood, and even some places were still oozing blood continuously. His left arm was missing from the elbow down, and the pieces of meat hung tremblingly at the cut.

General Wan Gui didn't seem to know the pain, he looked at his left arm, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I am a dying person, I can support this monster in the valley for a while. Go in with confidence. I won't do anything to you."

As soon as General Wan Gui's words fell, a burst of hot air blew up on the flat ground, Yuan Qingsu's barrier was broken without attacking, and everyone's protective essence could not resist the hot wind.

Ji Chen raised his hand to block it, the hot wind rubbed the back of his hand and burned his skin to red instantly, Ji Chen even smelled a faint smell of barbecue.

General Wan Gui glanced at Ji Chen, told him to be careful, then waved his sleeves and opened the door of the ancient building, and everyone hid in.

On the first floor of the ancient building, there is a table with four corners, surrounded by bookshelves, on which there are all kinds of ancient books. These books are nothing more than a fatal temptation for those who practice Taoism.

Everyone was in a dilemma between self-acquisition and morality, but in the end they couldn't stand the temptation, morality collapsed in an instant, and everyone flipped through the ancient books on the shelf.

After Yan Heng was the last person to enter the ancient building, he closed the door of the ancient building, and the evil wind rose from the ground and turned into a black cloak to wrap around Yan Heng's body.

Yan Heng said: "Myriad ghosts."

General Wan Gui looked up at Yan Heng and said, "It's you, come with me." After speaking, General Wan Gui walked into a cave shortly.

The inside of the cave is not as hot as the outside, but has an unexpected coolness.

Yan Heng followed General Wan Gui to the end of the cave. Inside was some straw, and a thin Firefox curled up on it. Its body trembled slightly, and from time to time there were traces of uncontrollable wailing from its throat.

General Wan Gui squatted down and comforted the little firefox with his demon power, as if talking to himself: "The little guy was injured when the ghost king invaded for the first time. I heard that the blood lotus grass can bring the dead back to life."

"Does the senior know that the blood lotus grass needs to be watered with blood to grow and bloom?" Ji Chen walked over from the dark. He first checked Firefox's injuries, and his limbs were all stiff.

General Wan Gui pursed his lips, "Small things, doing something for the younger generation can be regarded as increasing well-being."

General Wan Gui stood up and saluted, and said sincerely: "I hope you two will try your best to help me keep the blood lotus grass well, I really need it!"

As soon as the words fell, the bells of the ancient building outside suddenly rang violently. The strong wind was coming fiercely, and the sound of crossing the border was like the sound of iron hooves. The three of them walked out quickly.

Yan Heng gave Ji Chen a hand halfway, and said: "Be careful later."

Ji Chen patted Yan Heng's hand, "Don't worry, don't worry."

The hot wind blew up Yan Heng's cloak, pulling the corners and flaunting it around, mixed with the hot wind was the sound of clanging soldiers.

General Wan Gui listened intently for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It would be great if the rest of the demon realm was like your Xuanming Island, where there would be nothing to contend with. I want the little guys here to run away, but after thinking about them Where can I escape? They are not accepted outside, and this place is so far away from other demon realms."

Yan Heng said: "Duanyu came for the blood lotus grass?"

General Wan Gui smiled and said: "That's just his excuse." After finishing speaking, he bit the wrist of his right hand, blood spurted out and splashed on the ground, and skeletons came out from the ground one after another. They have different shapes and can't tell that they are not human.

The king of ancient Qin was not greedy enough, but the evils of the six countries were bribing Qin, so he could sleep for a while. Cut the city today, cut the city tomorrow, cut the city every day, cut the moon every day, and look at it today. The soldiers of Qin have arrived outside the palace, and the jade is also drunk today Weng didn't mean to drink, if he gave the blood lotus grass to Duanyu, I'm afraid he would get worse in the future.

The Realm of Flames has existed for a long time. Countless demon cultivators and monsters have been buried here. The demon cultivators are the most alienated from humans. They are not active in the world like demon cultivators and ghost cultivators. When they can see a demon cultivator, they tend to get close to monsters and eat and live with them.

Even though they are now in the form of skeletons, they are willing to fight side by side with old friends from the past, leaving peace for the younger generation.

One of the skeletons where the left arm used to be is now a huge wing bone. It picked up a bone whistle and blew, and a half-human-high tiger skeleton popped out from the skeleton group, maintaining the intimate shape it had in life. He rubbed the bones beside him.

In the distance, Yin soldiers from Duanyu rushed over, and a million skeletons were waiting in full force behind General Wangui.

A wave of Yin Qi swept past Yan Heng's side, and the evil ghost rushed to the Yin soldiers first. Like hungry wolves, the two sides rushed together and began to bite.

The army of skeletons also rushed out after General Wangui's order, and their silent roars were also deafening.

The name of ten thousand ghosts is not in vain.

The ancient building seems to have the effect of isolating from the outside world. Everyone is immersed in the ancient books, and the sound outside is no different from the hot wind passing through.

Duanyu's figure appeared in the air, his gaze was set on the immature blood lotus grass, and he said, "General, don't you plan to give me the blood lotus grass?"

After Yan Heng formed a seal, a black flood dragon shot up into the sky from behind him, raised its head to the sky and screamed, and then engulfed Yan Heng in it, threatening to attack Duanyu.

Only then did Duanyu turn his attention to Yan Heng, and he said with a smile: "So my brother is also here, so is my brother also interested in the blood lotus grass?"

Yan Heng shook his head, his hands changed movements quickly, the black flood dragon swooped towards Duanyu, it opened its bloody mouth, and the smell of blood permeated instantly.

Duanyu dodged left and right, the ghost energy from his hand hit the body of Heijiao, only a few scales fell off.

It was the first time Ji Chen had seen Yan Heng's monster power, compared to that pure and strong true energy, his monster power seemed a bit tyrannical.

General Wan Gui rushed up, he held a giant sword made of white bones and slashed at Duanyu, who dodged in time, grabbed General Wan Gui's giant sword and stabbed at Heijiao.

The black flood dragon was stabbed in the left eye, roared and retreated a foot away, and still fought back unwillingly.

Yan Heng took the black flood dragon back, he pulled out the Yuechen sword and stabbed it, the black demonic aura wrapped around the fairy sword, and the shadow of the black flood dragon loomed around.

A wave of demonic energy shot up into the sky, mixed with the vague fragrance of flowers, which symbolized that the blood lotus grass was about to mature, which temporarily interrupted the inseparable three people. down.

The ghost energy wrapped around Duanyu's body, and Duanyu reached out to grab Luli, the devil energy collided with the ghost energy, shattering nearly half of the bones and ghost soldiers.

Ji Chen retreated to the side of the boulder, and after only a while, the blood lotus grass had grown a flower bud.

Duanyu stretched out his hand, and said seductively: "Come on, good boy, give me the blood lotus grass." After finishing speaking, Duanyu in Ji Chen's eyes changed into another form, and the ghostly Bai Xue stood in front of Ji Chen, looking at him He stretched out his hand and said, "Ah Chen, can you give the blood lotus grass to Sister Bai? The only thing missing is this medicine."

As soon as Ji Chen was excited, the brilliance in his eyes went out, a sound like a spring came from behind him, and Ji Chen turned to face the boulder.

It was as if someone was calling his name over and over again. The voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

General Wan Gui saw that Ji Chen stretched out his hand towards the blood lotus grass, and stopped him aloud: "Little brother, no!"

Yan Heng shook his head at him, signaling General Wan Gui to be at ease.

Before Ji Chen touched the blood lotus grass, a small leaf slowly stretched out and gently wrapped around Ji Chen's finger. The blood lotus grass suddenly produced a strong suction force, like a whirlpool, pulling Ji Chen's whole body The magic energy was sucked in.

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sun, and another gust of wind swept through the realm of flames.

Yan Heng frowned, he rushed in front of Ji Chen, unfolded a barrier to protect Ji Chen, a wonderful artistic conception passed along Huang Quan to Yan Heng's mind.

When Ji Chen regained consciousness, he saw an old man leading a young girl with long hair to play chess in front of the ancient building. The little girl was more lively and active, she didn't care about such boring things as playing chess, she jumped up and down.

Ji Chen looked around and tentatively called Yan Heng a few times, but no one answered.

The old man said: "Young man, stop shouting, there is no one you are looking for here."

Ji Chen asked: "Senior, do you know who I am looking for?"

The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I and my granddaughter are the only two people here from the beginning to the end." After finishing speaking, he got up and dragged the little girl to Ji Chen. The little girl seemed a little shy, and kept hiding behind the old man secretly Looking at Ji Chen.

The old man looked Ji Chen up and down, and said with satisfaction: "The affairs of the world are the general trend. After all, all these belong to your younger generation. Young people, let me ask you, if the power of the world is waiting to be wiped out, and Kyushu is waiting to be destroyed, you What should I do?"

Ji Chen said: "The morals of the world don't wait for me. I would like to be unrestrained in the world and not care about world affairs. I'm afraid I can't do the revival of Kyushu."

Yan Heng said: "Follow the Qixuan Mountain's rules, and do your best to defend the right way in the world."

The old man stroked his beard with a smile and said: "The world is inevitable, how can we not ask about it? / What is the right way in the world?"

Ji Chendao: "In this world, you can't help yourself. Follow your own way. You can distinguish right from wrong. If you make mistakes, you can correct them. Learn from them. What's the difference between asking about the world and not asking?"

Yan Heng said: "Give up the righteous way and let the evil things grow day by day, don't bully the weak, don't fear the power, go through the vicissitudes of life, the sun rises and the moon sets, don't do it for great harmony, in order to seek stability."

The old man said: "This is really a good thing." After finishing speaking, the old man pointed to Ji Chen's left hand, a red rope appeared, and one end disappeared into nothingness.

Ji Chen looked at Huang Quan in his hand, "So I'm not in this world."

The old man smiled and said: "It was the old man who asked the little granddaughter to call you. When the time comes, the old man and the little granddaughter should go too."

Ji Chen said in shock: "You are that huge rock?!"

The old man said: "It's the old man, the young man. The old man will ask you a question at the end. You can't have both, how do you choose?"

Ji Chen pondered for a while, feeling that the old man was asking him which one to choose between Yan Heng and Qi Yunshan at a certain time, Ji Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "No, I want both."

Yan Heng said: "If you don't choose, I want it."

The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "Greed is not enough!"

Ji Chen said with a smile: "A pure heart and few desires can only be achieved by an immortal. I am a mortal, so I am vulgar and impure."

The old man said: "Young man, although you can't see me, you can hear me. Your friend regards the heart as the way, and you take the world as the way. Do you know what is the world and what is a living being?"

Yan Heng said: "Everyone has a spirituality in the world, and all things are living beings."

The old man smiled and said: "Young man, I saw that you have achieved such accomplishments at such a young age, so the road to Taoism must be smooth sailing. But you just can't get through this peach blossom calamity, and it will be difficult to get the Tao in the future. You regret it. This peach blossom?"

Yan Heng said with a smile: "The old man is over-reputed. I can have such accomplishments, and I have to thank the previous generation of hell envoys. It is also because of him that I can meet the Taoist companion. Besides, the robbery is originally used to respond. Why talk about regretting it?"

The old man stroked his beard and said: "Young man, you can see clearly that everything in this world can become your way. General Wan Gui is in the position of power, but he is willing to pour medicine with blood to save an unknown junior." , This is respect for life. In his eyes, there is no distinction between high and low life. Chunhuaqiufruit, follow nature, ebb and flow, siphon sublimation, you can learn from it, you can't be blind, and you can't be blind. In this way, I believe that in only a hundred years, you can also become one of the great powers. The righteous way that the predecessors walked out is a shortcut for you younger generations."

Yan Heng said: "Thank you for the teaching, senior, and the younger generation will keep it in mind."

Ji Chen blinked, only to realize that he had returned to the present world. Although Yan Heng was standing behind him maintaining an enchantment to resist the wind, his thoughts were already wandering away. Ji Chen looked at the blood lotus grass on the boulder, The little flower buds have bloomed little by little.

Duanyu rushed over, "The blood lotus grass has matured, so I will take it away!"

Yan Heng released all the monster energy in his body, they condensed into five black flood dragons and rushed towards Duanyu, trapping him firmly, followed closely by the giant sword of General Wangui.

Duanyu frowned, his expression became dignified, he blocked General Wangui's giant sword with a wave of his robe sleeve, and rushed towards the blood lotus grass regardless of the black flood dragon's obstruction, and picked it off, the boulder instantly shattered into powder .

Ji Chen grabbed Duanyu's wrist, Duanyu roared, and a gray-white skeleton rushed towards Ji Chen.

Duanyu said angrily: "Let me go!"

Ji Chen took the deer away to resist, and the two made ear-piercing sounds.

Yan Heng supported the barrier with one hand, and looked forward with his eyes. The strong wind mixed with gravel formed tornadoes one after another. What is it to follow nature?Conforming to nature does not mean doing nothing, but learning to use nature and relying on the power of nature to soar upwards, not to fight against it needlessly.

Fighting against nature will only hurt both sides in the end.

Thinking of this, Yan Heng withdrew the barrier.

As soon as the barrier was withdrawn, Ji Chen felt a heat wave blowing towards his face, quickly sucking the water from his body, just as Ji Chen was about to turn around and ask Yan Heng what was wrong, he saw Yan Heng plunged headlong into the tornado with the Yuechen sword in his hands , Ji Chen almost jumped up in fright.

Ji Chen's distraction allowed Duanyu to seize the opportunity, the ghost energy instantly overwhelmed the demonic energy, and forced towards Ji Chen, Ji Chen could only regain his senses and fight against Duanyu wholeheartedly.

When Yan Heng first entered the tornado, he used the Yuechen sword to support the true energy in his body and kept fighting against it. The gravel grazed Yan Heng's skin ruthlessly, leaving red scratches one after another, and the heat burned his skin , absorbing the water in the body, like a tarsal maggot.

Yan Heng felt that doing this was completely useless, and he couldn't really ride the wind straight up, so he withdrew his whole body's true energy to follow the wind direction of the tornado, letting his body rotate with it.

With Yan Heng's eyes closed, he could feel the stinging pain from the gravel on his face. When he calmed down, he naturally didn't have the difficulty at the beginning. It wasn't until the tornado approached Duanyu that Yan Heng barely opened his eyes, and he called out Yuechen , along the direction of the tornado, split out.

The sword wind swept the wind and sand, the sky was dark, Ji Chen couldn't help squinting his eyes.

The sword wind tore Duanyu's robe, and his body flew three feet away. Duanyu stabilized his body, and spit out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the blood lotus grass in his hand, showing a smug smile.

Duanyu sucked his lips to make a whistle, and the Yin soldiers retreated like a tide.

"Brother, I don't want to accompany you. I hope you will still have this ability when we meet next time."

The wind and sand gradually receded, and the surroundings of the ancient building returned to their original appearance, but the boulder and the blood lotus grass were missing.

General Wan Gui sighed slightly.

Yan Heng withdrew the Yuechen Sword, and the spiritual energy between the heavens and the earth gathered in an instant. They first swept across the treetops a hundred meters away, with green vitality, and turned the scattered bones in the realm of flames into powder, and carried them to the ground. The coolness of the cold, the remnants of the strong wind, and the turmoil of the river poured into Yan Heng's body all at once.

His body was like a dry sponge, frantically absorbing the aura between heaven and earth.

Ji Chen raised his hand to cover his eyes. Yan Heng's promotion at this time was beyond his expectation, but the promotion seemed to be out of his control, and the billowing thunder followed the aura all over the sky above the Realm of Flame .

General Wan Gui asked: "Why is he promoted so quickly, is there any way to stop it?"

As soon as General Wangui finished speaking, a thunderbolt struck down. Ji Chen had no choice but to help him block the first thunderstorm. He felt that he was holding Luli's right hand, and even his entire arm lost consciousness in an instant. "Bang Dang" fell to the ground.

Ji Chen: "I think he's planning to go two realms in one step, and if he is left alone like this, the thunder of the sky will probably raze this place to the ground."

Ji Chen picked up Lu Li and put it back in the ring, his whole arm was hanging limply.

General Wan Gui thought for a moment, then he looked at Ji Chen and asked, "Who are you from Qiyun Mountain?"

Ji Chen smiled helplessly: "Brother, is this the time for you to ask questions? Ji Yefeng is my father, my dear. Is this enough?"

General Wan Gui said: "This is easy to handle. According to legend, gods and demons have the same origin, and gods fall into demons. If you are just an ordinary demon cultivator, I dare not tell you this method. You just need to absorb all the demonic energy in your body. Release it, and you will be able to resist the thunder with your body, which will not only ensure Yan Heng's smooth promotion, but also prevent this place from being razed to the ground."

Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, "You are telling me to die, let me try." But as far as the present is concerned, there is only one way, Ji Chen released all the magic energy in his body, and the two magic horns showed Coming out, the color of the black eyes spilled out, staining the white black, and the blood surged to replace the original black.

Ji Chen rushed into the air, and his figure was quickly submerged in the dark clouds.

The sky thunder struck Ji Chen's devilish energy one by one, and some even passed through it and struck Ji Chen's body. He wanted to ensure that all these sky thunders were within his control, and he could not miss any of them.

Ji Chen spread out the devilish energy around him, and turned into an invisible giant dragon that shuttled through the dark clouds. In the end, Ji Chen's hands shook like sieves, his hands were shaken open with wounds, and the blood was like a trickle. Slips into the sleeve like a stream.

The sky thunder struck a total of sixteen times without stopping, and the dark clouds gradually dissipated.

Ji Chen fell down from mid-air with some loss of strength, he had never used the magic energy like this before, the meridians in his whole body were almost exhausted, and he was screaming in pain, worse than the last time he was poisoned.

General Wan Gui came over to check Ji Chen's pulse, then stood up and saluted, "I thank you for saving your life on behalf of the beasts in the Realm of Flames, if you need me in the future, I will die! "
