After the sage died

Jiang Yun's mobility is extremely strong.

After returning from Qingfeng Pavilion, he appeared one after another in various sects.

The opening of the secret realm is a major event in the three realms. While everyone was overwhelmed with surprise, they did not forget to ask, "How can Lord Magic Lamp understand it so clearly?"

Jiang Yun's face was neither red nor out of breath, "This deity is an ancient remnant, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, a small secret realm that only appears once in a thousand years, why doesn't this deity know?"

His tone was arrogant, and his attitude was quite natural, making those who had a slight doubt feel ashamed of their ignorance.

After successfully disseminating the news, Jiang Yunzhi took advantage of the situation to mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, calling on everyone to unite as one and search for heaven, material and earth treasures separately.

By the way, I would like to emphasize that the most critical step in opening the secret realm is the ancient blood, so as to prevent all sects from uniting to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

A serious person asked, "Dare to ask my lord, how long will the secret realm be opened?"

Jiang Yunzhi was silent for a while, then he clasped his palms together and looked up at the sky, closing his eyes devoutly, "Wait for the second oracle."

"..."

But if he is fooling around, he can't really wait for the oracle to come down from the sky.

After distributing the task of collecting heaven, material and earth treasures, Jiang Yunzhi prepared to personally go to You Soul Lake to investigate the situation and figure out when the secret realm would open.

·

Return to Xuemen, the main hall.

In the newly built main hall, the first sect discussion is going on.

I don't know how many days Jiang Yunzhi will go this time.

"I have something to go on a long trip, and I may not be able to come back at any time. Remember to bring the enchantment pass with you, try to minimize going out, and don't open the door to strangers..."

Zhu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded in agreement.

Zhong Ming had a headache when he heard it, "Is it still important not to talk to strangers, and not to follow strangers home?"

Jiang Yunzhi pointed, "Don't be impatient, both of you, and see how seriously Xiaoxu remembers."

The two gazes turned around, and they saw Zhu Xu who was busy writing.Zhu Xu raised his head from his small notebook, his gaze reverent, "What the sect master says are all proverbs, you should write them down at any time to encourage yourself!"

Jiang Yunzhi was relieved, "Children can be taught, no wonder you feel that you have roots of wisdom at first glance."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Xu's little notebook, and he seemed to see the sentence "It's not sure who is suppressing who".

...Wait, what do you remember this for?

"By the way, sect master." Zhu Yan interrupted his gaze.

For the time being, Jiang Yunzhi didn't want to investigate what the child was recording, but turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The gate is almost done. Most of the pavilions and courtyards have been set up. Weeds in the mountains have been removed, and the gate of the mountain has been hung with 'Return to the Snow Gate'. Are you ready to recruit people?"

"No rush." ​​Jiang Yunzhi leaned back on the mahogany armchair, the old god was there, "The time is not yet ripe, when the time comes, let's make a big deal."

Zhu Yan's heart skipped a beat, "What?"

... When?What's the big one? ?

Zhu Xu beside him was brushing his pen again.

After arranging the trivial matters at the door, Jiang Yunzhi went back to the house and tidied up and prepared to go out.After stepping out of the courtyard, I found a figure standing under the pear tree in front of the courtyard, as if waiting for him.

"Brother Bai, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" Zhong Ming said, "Of course I'm waiting for you to set off together."

"Are you going too?" Jiang Yunzhi asked, "It's not the sect attending the banquet, we don't need to be tied up."

Zhong Ming sneered, "I don't need it anymore, just throw it away when you're done using it."

Jiang Yun's heart was tired, how could this person distort his meaning, "Aren't you still looking for revenge?"

"My life is not just about seeking revenge. I am also interested in news about the secret realm."

"That's right." Jiang Yunzhi nodded, "If you want, then we can go together."

Only then did a satisfied smile appear on the cold face of the other party, "Of course I am willing."

...

Lake Youpo is located in a remote valley south of Kyushu.

Jiang Yunzhi remembered that the valley 1000 years later was called "Wuhuan Valley". There was no mystery in the sky above the valley. pass.

The valley below is deep and misty, with dense forests and ancient trees covering the sky, even monks can easily get lost in it.

When the two arrived in front of the valley, they saw that the forest leaves were not as dense as they were after a thousand years, but the mountains and rocks were still towering and the terrain was strange.

Jiang Yunzhi took the first step, and told Zhong Ming behind him, "Follow me well, don't get lost."

"Afraid that I will get lost?"

"Of course, otherwise it will take a lot of time to get you."

After Jiang Yunzhi finished speaking, he searched in the direction of Youpo Lake in the center of the valley based on his memory.

Zhong Ming curled his mouth and followed closely behind.

When entering the valley for the first time, objects can still be discerned in front of the eyes, but the closer to the depths, the thicker the mountain fog becomes, and the eyes are almost completely white.

Fortunately, Jiang Yunzhi has passed by several times before, and the terrain has not changed much in the past 1000 years.Not long after, the thick fog in front of his eyes gradually dispersed, and his vision became clear.

The two passed through the fog barrier on the outside and arrived in the center of the valley.

After Jiang Yunzhi brought him in, he slapped proudly, "Am I formidable?"

Zhong Ming said, "It's amazing, I found it so quickly the first time I came here."

The phrase "the first time" was slightly accentuated.

Jiang Yunzhi gently let go of this contrived posture, "...not at all, it's just a man's intuition."

Zhong Ming laughed and didn't want to go any further.

Going forward and going around a section of the path at the bottom of the valley is Youpo Lake. The two of them were approaching the other side of the lake when they suddenly heard a few faint voices.

Two men and one woman sounded very young:

"Brother, do we really want to go down?"

"After all, it is an assessment, so I have to complete it. Junior sister, if you are afraid, senior brother will go down and try the water first."

"Yes, you are waiting on the shore, I will go with Eldest Brother."

...Test the water, what kind of water?Weak water? ?

Jiang Yunzhi's pupils trembled, and his feet quickly swept towards the source of the sound.

The galloping figure turned a corner, and the eyes suddenly opened up—the quiet lake lay surrounded by the surrounding mountains, the lake surface reflected the sky and the surrounding mountains, there was no breeze in the valley, and the huge lake was stagnant.

There were two men and a woman standing by the nearby lake. All three of them were wearing uniform blue and white outer shirts. They should all be brothers and sisters of the same sect.

The girl was a little further away, and the two young men were about to jump into the lake.

As soon as their figures flew into the air, they grabbed their back collars with both hands—the next moment, the two of them fell back to the ground with a "plop", "Who...!" They looked up, and in the quiet valley, there was standing by the lake. The indigo blue figure Ji Moonlight Wind.

Jiang Yunzhi asked, "Do you know the difference between jumping off and eating dumplings?"

The three of them are still out of the situation, their minds are blank, "What's the difference?"

Jiang Yunzhi smiled warmly, "Dumplings can float in the water, but even a corpse can't float up in weak water."

"..."

After a while, the older youth finally came to his senses, "This, this is the legendary weak water!"

"You don't even know what this is, so you dare to jump in?" A different voice from just now rang out, and the three disciples of the Jade Flower Sect realized that another figure had appeared behind Jiang Yunzhi at some point.

Zhong Ming came looking at him in black clothes, with a natural oppressive force.

The hearts of the three tightened, and the young man in blue patted each other, and then said to them, "So who told you to come here?"

·

After a while, the five of them sat on the ground by the shore of the lake.

The three slowly said: They are the senior brothers and sisters of the Jade Flower Sect, Ping Lan is the senior senior brother, Lin Kuo is the second senior senior brother, and Pei Yin is the junior senior sister.The disciples of the Jade Flower Sect have to complete the assessment assigned by the master every time they break through a section. This assessment is to take a budding "flower" from the bottom of the lake and return it.

"A budding flower?" Jiang Yunzhi asked, "Who arranged this assessment for you?"

Ping Lan said, "It was our uncle, and he gave us the map. We almost couldn't get out of the fog barrier before, and we were trapped in it for five days. Fortunately, my sister took us out."

Jiang Yunzhi looked at the girl beside him.

Feiyin raised her head proudly, and the little bell on the hairband jingled, "You may not believe it, but this is a woman's intuition!"

The rhetoric seemed familiar, and Jiang Yunzhi firmly supported it, "Of course I can believe it."

Zhong Ming glanced at him, "..."

Feiyin giggled, "This fellow Taoist is really easy to talk to."

Soon she suppressed her smile again, "But according to what you said, the outer circle of this lake is full of weak water. Doesn't the uncle asking us to come for the assessment mean that we are going to die?"

The two senior brothers on the opposite side looked at each other, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Jiang Yunzhi was also dignified, "The world of adults is so impure."

Everyone, "..."

After commenting, he temporarily put aside the complexity of the adult world.

Those who entered the Youpo Lake never returned, but the "uncle" of the Jade Flower Sect said that there was a budding "flower" at the bottom of the lake, and he took this as an assessment item for several Foundation Establishment disciples.

Is it made up for the purpose of hurting my fellow disciples, or did I get some news from somewhere?

Jiang Yunzhi turned his head to look at the calm lake: it's true or false, you'll find out later.

After pondering in his heart, he turned around, only to see senior senior brother Pinglan and junior junior sister Feiyin chatting on the opposite side, as if they had escaped from the depression just now.

After Pinglan said something to comfort him, Feiyin snorted arrogantly again, and bumped him lightly with her arm.

The two exchanged glances and giggled.

Jiang Yunzhi who was sitting opposite: ... Oh, this is a trick between lovers.

He glanced at Lin Kuo who was sitting there, and beckoned, "Sit over here." It was too bright to be crowded there.

Lin Kuo didn't expect that he would call out to him suddenly, "Huh?"

The outstretched hand is thin and pale, which easily gives the illusion of fragility.But anyone who has seen him shoot will know how neat his moves are.

Just like just now by the lake, grabbing one in each hand.

Seeing that he was still sitting stupidly, Jiang Yunzhi patted his side, "This place is still empty."

Lin Kuo's face became hot, and he shyly responded and moved over.

Zhong Ming looked coldly at him, then got up and took Jiang Yunzhi's arm to change places with himself, "Sit over."

Jiang Yunzhi was picked up, "Why?"

"The view here is good, look at the lake."

Feiyin on the opposite side looked back and forth between the two: ... Oh, this is a trick between lovers.

The few people chatted a few more words, and the questions they needed to know were almost covered, Jiang Yunzhi got up and stretched his waist, ready to get down to business.

The stretching posture straightened his clothes, revealing the smooth and slender figure below. His long, high-twist hair swayed behind him twice, and the ends of his hair were sweeping in the hollow of his lower back.

Lin Kuo was fascinated by the sidelines, and when the figure flickered in his sight, he saw the man in black standing behind Jiang Yun, his broad back completely blocking him.

Zhong Ming lowered his head slightly, "Ready?"

Jiang Yunzhi lowered his arms and looked at the seemingly quiet and beautiful lake in front of him, "Well, go to the center of the lake."

After he finished speaking, he poked his head out from in front of Zhong Ming and told the three members of the Jade Flower Sect, "Don't move around at will."

Ping Lan nodded, "We know now. The outermost circle of Youpo Lake is weak water, and there is no return."

Jiang Yunzhi was relieved, "Yes."

After speaking, he called Zhong Ming and walked towards the lake.

Three people behind:? ? ?

Feiyin stood up suddenly, "Hey! You are crazy, don't want to die for love—"

Before the words were finished, two figures flew out of the body together, like the phantom of a light swallow, flitting across the lake, and crossed the legendary weak water in an instant.

"..."

For a long time, no one made a sound on the shore.

What about going back and forth?

On the surface of Youpo Lake, Jiang Yunzhi stabilized his distracted state, and let out a breath, "This little girl is really..." Startled, she opened her mouth.

He was so shocked that he almost fell into the weak water when he said "sacrifice for love".

Zhong Ming's expression was indifferent, "Tong Yan Wuji." Sacrifice is not good, it is not auspicious.

Jiang Yunzhi nodded again and again: That's right, the children messed up some mandarin ducks.

The two soon reached the center of the lake.The water in the center of the lake is normal lake water. When they landed on the lake, ripples appeared from the center of their feet to the surroundings.

Jiang Yunzhi looked around, and he remembered that there was a dragon vein in the valley.The eight directions do not move, the four seasons come together, and the evolution of the stars should be able to calculate the time when the secret realm will open.

However, the person who did the deduction back then was Jun Ji Huan who was the best at calculating in the Three Realms. He only knew the result, and he didn't calculate it himself.

Jiang Yunzhi glanced at the Youpo Lake at his feet.The surface is clear and clear, but the deeper it goes, the deeper it becomes, like an abyss with its mouth wide open, waiting for those who come to explore it to consciously enter its belly.

"I'll go down first, you wait here for me, and see if there's anything unusual on the surface of the lake." After he finished talking to Zhong Ming, he lowered his body and plunged into the lake.

"Hey, Jiang Yunzhi!"

The lake water seeps with a biting chill, wrapping from all directions.This kind of cold is not the cold that floats on the surface of the skin, but the deep cold that penetrates into the bone marrow.

——The silent people at the bottom of the lake are all dead souls.

Jiang Anzhi dived all the way along the undercurrent below, and the depths away from the lake surface were dark. As soon as he approached the bottom of the lake, his ankles were wrapped by some kind of aquatic plants.

He vaguely heard Mr. Huanji mentioned that this thing is called "Sizao", and it usually sleeps at the bottom of the lake, and it will wake up when people come, and it reproduces very fast.

The clothes scattered in the water like a bowl of lotus, revealing a dazzlingly white calf.There was a faint red mark on the entangled ankle, which showed the strength.

Si Zao tightened his grip and tightened his grip, pulling people to the bottom of the lake violently!In the depths of the lake, there are countless groups of algae that are as lush as flocculent nets. Feeling the people coming from above, they shook the tops and "wowed" to explore.

The entire quiet bottom of the lake seemed to come alive suddenly, and even the water surface above had waves.

Branches and vines came from all directions, and some of them tore through the hem and cuffs of the clothes, and were cut off by Jiang Yunzhi's spiritual power.Those disconnected algae moved, and really quickly grew out of the fracture.

While cutting off the weeds protruding towards him, Jiang Xun searched with his spiritual consciousness at the bottom of the lake.

Not long after, he suddenly found a bud-shaped plant among the nest-like packages of algae.

My heart beat a little faster suddenly, did it really happen?

The flower seemed to be still sleeping, nestled in a hotbed made of wild algae, and the petals closed and opened as if they were breathing in and out.Jiang Anzhi sank slowly, hundreds of algae surrounded him, and the temperature near the bottom of the lake became even colder.

As he was approaching the center, there was a sudden movement above his head.

The few clumps of weeds closest to his side were cut off neatly by the spiritual power that did not belong to him, and his vision suddenly widened. Jiang Yunzhi turned his head and saw Zhong Ming coming through the water.

"Bai Mu? I didn't ask you to wait for me up there."

Zhong Ming's brows were furrowed deeply, and his gaze swept over Jiang Yunzhi's torn cuffs and exposed ankles.The eye-catching red marks irritated his eyes, and his spiritual power suddenly swayed—the few clumps of weeds that tried to surround the latter again instantly turned into dust.

He pulled him tighter, and what his palm touched was his hypothermic body temperature, "It's time to go back, the bottom of the lake is too cold."

Jiang Yunzhi looked back at the center of the lake, "No hurry, I'll go and see that flower."

As he spoke, he broke away from Zhong Ming's hand and continued to dive.

"Jiang Yunzhi!" Zhong Ming was annoyed by this anger.

The people in front of him turned their backs to him, defenseless.He stretched out his long arms, hooked the opponent's waist, and brought him into his arms—boom, his back resting on his chest, and Jiang Yunzhi's whole body was embraced by Zhong Ming from behind.

"Bai Mu!"

The arms around his waist were tight and powerful, and his chest was as hard as an immovable wall, pulling him back to the surface of the lake with irresistible force.

He opened his eyes wide and turned to look at the person behind him.

In the cold lake water, the two were close together, and when he turned his head, he almost rubbed each other's cheeks.Zhong Ming's handsome face, which was close at hand, faced the light cast from above, and as they gradually approached the lake, fine water ripples rippled in the latter's dark eyes, gradually becoming shimmering.

This distance is too close, it has long exceeded their current relationship.

Not a companion, let alone a Dharma protector against the sect master, how can there be such a strong Dharma protector?It is simply the following offense.

Jiang Yunzhi went to break his arm, "I won't go to the center of the lake anymore, just let go."

He hurriedly said two "you" rather uncomfortably.

The black and indigo clothes overlapped in the water, and even a few strands of hair got tangled together.Unable to tell who it belonged to, it slid into Jiang Yunzhi's shoulder socket along the water waves, scratching him tenderly.

Zhong Ming turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, that sculpted face was soaked in water, and there was a kind of amazement that was smudged with ink.

He opened his thin lips lightly, "Oh, I don't believe your nonsense."

"..."

The author has something to say:

Jiang Yunzhi: Just because I see that I am good and can be deceived, I will be fired!fire!

Zhong Ming: It's late, I came in in a serious way.
