Chapter 18 Chapter 74 Gathering

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak, and Huanyue Cave Mansion.Zhang Xiaofan slowly retracted the palm of his right hand from the Manggu mirage bead, his face was also slightly pale, but after he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, the fading color quickly returned to normal.At this moment, the glow on the Manggu Mirage Bead has completely calmed down. Among the ten big stars above the bead, even the first big star at the bottom has already extinguished its light and dimmed. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he had let out a breath, and his expression relaxed a lot. When he opened his eyes and was about to stand up, his eyes suddenly froze, and he stopped for a while, but he bent forward slightly, looking at On the ground in front of Manggu Mirage Pearl.Under the body of the bead, there fell the remains of a small white bone scorpion, which had been broken into two pieces, and there was no more sound.Zhang Xiaofan's expression suddenly turned a little cold, he stretched out his hand to pick up the two pieces of bone scorpion's remnant body, put it in his palm to look carefully for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold snort.At that moment, the originally peaceful Huanyue Cave Mansion suddenly trembled, and all the stone patterns carved on the ground instantly lit up, and even the Mangzhan Mirage Orb, which had calmed down, seemed to feel something, and the light suddenly became brighter. , surrounded himself, flickering non-stop, as if trembling.A powerful and terrifying aura filled the cave in an instant. It seemed to be an existence that had been awakened suddenly after being hidden in the darkness for thousands of years. One body, wanting to roar the world and kill vertically and horizontally.Just a moment later, the sudden strong killing intent receded like a tide, Zhang Xiaofan stood in the cave, his expression was normal, it seemed that he had returned to his ordinary and gentle appearance before.The surrounding stone patterns and mangzhan mirage beads all calmed down slowly, Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the surroundings, then walked out slowly.A ray of sunlight fell on the entrance of the Huanyue Cave, and the chirping of birds came from the depths of the distant forest, adding a sense of tranquility to this mountain forest.Zhang Xiaofan walked outside the entrance of the cave, suddenly stopped, looked up, but saw a figure standing in front of the cave, at some point, dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, with the Seven Star Immortal Sword hanging from his waist, handsome and extraordinary, it was exactly Xiao Yicai, the real head teacher of Qingyun Sect.Zhang Xiaofan looked at him indifferently, Xiao Yicai also looked unchanged, looking at each other silently, the eyes of the two peaceful people met in mid-air, obviously they didn't make any movements, but for some reason the surrounding temperature seemed to cool down instantly, even The birds that were still chirping cheerfully lost their voices.After a while, Zhang Xiaofan withdrew his gaze and walked forward, Xiao Yicai did not intend to stop him, but when Zhang Xiaofan passed by him, Xiao Yicai suddenly said calmly: "This is Qingyun Forbidden Land."

Zhang Xiaofan paused for a moment, and then calmly said: "Understood." After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward, at the same time his voice came from behind Xiao Yicai: "There are many treasures in Huanyue Cave, Mysterious, but there are some things in it. For thousands of years, the ancestors of Qiyunmen have never allowed them to show up in the world. I guess there is a reason..." His voice faded, and his figure quickly disappeared in front of him The end of the path.Xiao Yicai stood where he was, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if his body tensed up in an instant.But it was obvious that he controlled himself very well. After a while, he slowly released his clenched fist, his face looked normal, and then slowly walked into the cave.Standing at the entrance of Huanyue Cave, he stared silently at everything in the cave, looking at the faintly lit stone patterns on the ground, the manggu mirage beads that spit out light, and finally the strange light door like water waves, Xiao Yicai's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be in deep thought.At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, in a dense forest quite far from the Qingyun Mountain Gate, Jin Ping'er, who was dressed in light yellow clothes, was standing with the mysterious man, their expressions were very ugly at the moment.Not far from the two of them, Patriarch Bone was sitting on the ground carelessly, his face was full of viciousness and resentment, the right arm of Bone that was broken by Xiao Yicai on Qingyun Mountain had already been connected, and the black sky ghost The knife was stuck upside down by his side.I saw him pouring black strange medicine powder on the wound on his right arm, and said viciously: "Damn little beast, after your grandpa and grandpa healed up, he will definitely kill you and go up the mountain, catch you and skin you!" Draw the soul, suppress it in the ghost sword, and suffer forever, this can relieve the hatred in my heart!" A trace of sarcasm flashed in Jin Ping'er's eyes, and she looked up at the sky, but she seemed too lazy to listen to such cruel words, and she The mysterious man beside him frowned, but he was worried about something else, and asked: "Master Bone, you mean that when you came back earlier, Xiao Yi was chasing after him, and you asked Xia Houge to block him for you. Can you escape back?" Patriarch Bai Bone snorted coldly, rolled his eyes and said, "That's right." After speaking, he said bitterly, "Little beast, don't fall into the hands of Patriarch, otherwise, hehe... "As he said that, he gritted his teeth, obviously hating Xiao Yicai to the core, but he couldn't see the slightest concern for Xia Houge who helped him block the pursuit and save his life.

The mysterious man no longer cared about Patriarch Bone's sternness over there, turned around and glanced at Jin Ping'er, frowned slightly and said: "Xiahouge is usually considered capable, but in terms of Taoism, I'm afraid it's not enough to compete with Master Qingyun." On the same level, from what I hear, I'm afraid..." Jin Ping'er said lightly, "There's nothing you can do about it. If you die, you'll die. Just cultivate another one." The mysterious man's face flashed with anger, and he snorted coldly: "It's easy for you to say. Now that the family is rebuilding, the most important thing is that there are too few talents to be used. Besides, how can there be so easy to cultivate? My name was Dugongzi back then, but not as good as you Miaogongzi There are countless faces, and they are the best at cultivating people." Jin Ping'er looked cold, and said coldly: "Qin Wuyan, you have made it clear, what is countless faces? Otherwise, you can learn from my Acacia sect." Girl Mei', see if she is as obscene as you think?" Qin Wuyan sneered, unafraid.Over the years, he has hidden his heart in hiding, and he is only focused on reviving the Wandu Sect for the deathbed confession of his former teacher, Poison God. During this time, he encountered an adventure. In addition, he was originally talented, and he worked hard to practice hard. He has already made great progress in Taoism. , is not the same as in the past.Although he knew that Jin Ping'er was coerced by him to help him, and with that woman's arrogant temperament, he was naturally dissatisfied, but it didn't mean that he would be willing to swallow her anger in front of Jin Ping'er.Seeing that the swords between the two were on the verge of breaking out, even Patriarch Bai Bone looked at them in surprise, but at this moment, suddenly there was a wind blowing from outside the forest, and a person galloped away in a golden light. Approaching them, he landed in front of them in a blink of an eye, bent over and saluted, "Sect master, deputy sect master."

As soon as this person appeared, not only Patriarch Bai Bone immediately turned his head to look at him with astonishment, even Qin Wuyan and Jin Ping'er also forgot their dispute for a while, turned their heads in astonishment, with a look of disbelief on their faces.I saw the light in the forest, the man standing under the tree, his face was gloomy and respectful, it was Xiahouge himself.At the same time, he saw that his body was neatly dressed and he was not injured at all, and he retreated safely under Xiao Yicai's hands.Qin Wuyan looked up to him. Although he was still feeling sorry for him not long ago, seeing Xia Houge's safe return at this moment, he didn't show any joy on his face. On the contrary, he was a little more suspicious, and looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes. The man said calmly after a while: "Xia Houge, I heard from Patriarch Bone that you blocked Xiao Yicai for him, you did a good job, it can be regarded as a great achievement." Hou Ge lowered his body again, and said: "Don't dare , This is a matter of subordinates." Qin Wuyan nodded slowly, but looked at Xiahouge with colder eyes, and said: "However, I didn't realize that your progress in Taoism is so great. Now Master Qingyun is still able to retreat completely after the first battle." Xia Houge straightened up, but shook his head and said: "Reporting to the sect master, I am ashamed to praise my subordinates this time, and I really dare not hide it from the sect master. I offer the bones After Xiao Yicai was blocked by the Patriarch's order, he was ready to fight to the death, but just as he was about to strike, a loud bell suddenly sounded on Qingyun Mountain, nine times in a row, three times in a row, Xiao Yicai heard the bell After the sound, his face changed drastically, but he left his subordinates and went directly to Yujian Mountain." Qin Wuyan and Jin Ping'er, who was standing beside him, were startled when they heard the words, and they were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Xia Houge could come back because of This reason.Qin Wuyan frowned, turned back and glanced at Jin Ping'er, Jin Ping'er pondered for a moment, put aside the argument just now, and said after a while, "It is true that such a bell rang, and I was puzzled when I heard it. , it seems that something major has happened on Qiyun Mountain?" Qin Wuyan nodded silently, then turned his head, his expression became much gentler, and smiled at Kuhouge: "It's a blessing, but you It is true that you have made a great contribution, and you will be rewarded with your head." Xia Houge hurriedly leaned over to thank him.

The Neigu Patriarch on the side snorted coldly, seeming to be quite disdainful of the movement here. At this moment, he had already treated the injury on his right arm, and the black medicinal powder seemed to have a miraculous effect. The arm looks much better, except for a few cracks, it can't be seen that it has been injured by a broken arm.Afterwards, Patriarch Bai Bone stood up, pulled out the Heavenly Ghost Knife stuck by his side, and walked out of the forest without saying anything to Qin Wuyan Jin Ping'er and the others.A trace of impatience also flashed across Qin Wuyan's eyes, but after all, he was deeply scheming, so he still controlled himself and asked aloud, "Bone Bone Chi, where are you going?" With a slash of the ghost knife, he said bitterly: "The old man went to find a secluded place to rest for a while. After recovering his vitality, he must go to Qingyun again and chop that kid named Xiao Yicai under the knife!" Qin Wuyan's eyes flashed Shan, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Senior Bone, since you have seen that there are indeed countless treasures in this middle earth, and unfortunately they were hurt by villains, why don't you take this opportunity to return to the Wild Temple and report to the seven members of the Temple? High Priest, please invite all the elders to go to the middle land, so that the Holy Cult will flourish, and all the treasures will be seized.” Patriarch Bai Bone hesitated for a moment, but shook his head and said: “No, such a trivial matter, the old man alone is enough Well..." After finishing speaking, he ignored Qin Wuyan and the others, and went straight out of the forest. At the same time, he thought to himself: "Not to mention how stubborn the seven high priests in the holy temple are, they only want to stick to the 'Underworld'. They are all willing to come to Middle-earth with their heart. After plundering the treasures, the high priests swallowed up all the good things. In this way, Grandfather Bone, isn’t my work in vain? I must have the opportunity first Duoya has so many rare and rare treasures, if by chance one or two pieces of Nine Heavens Divine Armament Heaven and Earth Treasures are lucky enough, after returning home, you will be able to make great progress, and you will be the high priest of the temple. Is it true that I, the ancestor of the bone bone, is not born to be able to sit? ?" Seeing the figure of the fierce old man walking away slowly, Qin Wuyan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, Jin Ping'er looked at - and also showed a faint sneer, and said softly: "I think you are looking for your own death." The voice was not loud, but both Lin Qi, Qin Wuyan, and Xia Houge heard it. Hou Ge watched his nose, nose and heart, and turned his ears to nothing, while Qin Wuyan gave Jin Ping'er a cold look, and Jin Ping'er indifferently— Laughing, didn't seem to care at all.Qin Wuyan just felt bored in his heart. He managed to seduce a temple elder to come to Middle-earth, but he turned out to be such a dead-headed guy, but if he wasn't simple-minded, he might not be so easily persuaded by him.Just as they were hesitating what to do next to dissuade the Bone Patriarch, the three people in the forest suddenly heard a scream from outside the forest, but it was the Bone Patriarch who was furious, accompanied by a roar, only heard the Bone Patriarch shout: "Who dares to tease the ancestor, come out and die!" Qin Wuyan and the three of them all changed their expressions, they glanced at each other, and immediately rushed out of the forest.Outside the dense forest, the sun was shining brightly, but Patriarch Bone was standing on the ground with the black Heavenly Ghost Saber across his chest, but he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, his face was fierce, and on the ground not far from him, fell A small piece of white bone looked like the wreckage of a small scorpion. Before he could react further, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind, and another ray of white light rushed towards him, hitting his face directly, extremely arrogant .Patriarch Bone's eyes were wide open, and the Heavenly Ghost Knife glowed with black light and slashed down. He only heard the sound of "Dang", the black light flickered, and the white light was shot down by him immediately. But his arm trembled slightly, and a strong force came from the blade, which almost made him take a step back involuntarily. Fortunately, he was experienced in cultivation and his magic skills were running, so he stabilized his figure without changing his face.Taking a closer look, I saw that white thing was another bone wreckage, which seemed to be the other half of the little white scorpion.A figure slowly came out from another forest in front of him. It was a man with ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes. It makes people feel a sense of looking down.On his right hand, he seems to be holding a black stick casually. It is not too long, and the top is in the shape of a bead. It looks dark and ugly, just like the fire stick in the kitchen of ordinary people.In the dense forest, Qin Wuyan and Qin Ping'er froze and stopped immediately. Xia Houge followed behind them and also stopped.Qin Wuyan's eyes were like lightning, and instantly became extremely cold. Looking at the man far away outside the forest, he sneered and said coldly, "It's him!" It's much more complicated, the white teeth are biting slightly, the eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, although the face is cold, a charming but inadvertently slowly radiated out, but in the blink of an eye she saw Qin Wuyan's body moving slightly, as if he was about to rush out of the forest , and immediately reached out to grab him.Qin Wuyan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Jin Ping'er, and said in astonishment: "What's wrong?" Jin Ping'er smiled lightly, and said: "What are you in a hurry, it's rare to have this great opportunity, you don't want to see his current state from the sidelines Have you reached the level of Taoism?" Qin Wuyan pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "You are right, you were plotted against by this guy back then, and you have a lot of past and old grudges, so it's time to worry about it." After saying that, he actually retreated He retreated, just hid in the dense forest without moving, and focused on peeking out.

Jin Ping'er stood beside him, her eyes were cold and quiet, and she fell on the man outside the forest. After a long while, she suddenly let out a soft sigh, and said in a low voice: "Unexpectedly... after many years, we will be called the third demon sect for a while. Young Master, you actually gather together under such circumstances..." The man who suddenly appeared outside the forest was naturally Zhang Xiaofan.At this moment, he held the fire stick, stood there indifferently, looked at Patriarch Bone for a moment, especially paused on the strange arms of Ancestor Bone, smiled suddenly, and said: "You practiced But 'Black Bone Curse'?" Bone Patriarch's complexion turned cold suddenly, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Who are you?" Zhang Xiaofan didn't pay attention to his shout, just shook his head slowly , said: "The Black Bone Curse can be regarded as an extremely powerful technique in the Demon Cult. It is said that it has been lost for a long time, but it is unexpected that it can be passed down. It's just that after practicing this magic technique, the limbs will disappear and turn into bones. The more you go, the darker the bone color will be, until it finally turns into pure black bones, which is the great achievement of magic. Seeing that your feet are intact, your arms are boneless, and your color is pale, you may still be stuck on the 'four bone realm'. The 'Seven Bone Realm' of Qiang Gao Realm is still far away, right?" Patriarch Bai Bone's face changed in horror, and he was speechless for a while.The three of Qin Wuyan, who were peeping from a distance in the dense forest, also had slightly changed expressions. Although they were not very clear about the cultivation method of Patriarch Bone, but looking at Patriarch Bone's expression at this moment, they naturally knew that what Zhang Xiaofan said was the truth. It was close to ten, Qin Wuyan's face became even colder, and he murmured to himself in a low voice, "How does he know so much?" Suddenly, he found that with such a way of doing things, he had the potential to be taken over by this person. This shout also boosted his spirit and calmed down his mind. Lifting up slowly, he said coldly: "Who on earth are you? Why are you so familiar with my Demon Sect's exercises?" Zhang Xiaofan sneered, glanced at the ground in front of Patriarch Bone, and said: "This one Bone Scorpion, you should have released it, right?" The Bone Patriarch was taken aback for a moment, but naturally he would not dare to admit it, after slowly nodding, he was thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly frowned and looked at Zhang Xiaofan said: "'Trace the thread to find the soul'? Since you know this holy thaumaturgy, you should also be from the holy religion, why are you still fighting with me here?" Zhang Xiaofan raised his arm slightly, the black burning fire in his hand The stick slowly lit up a ray of light, and walked towards Patriarch Bone, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, and at the same time he said: "I have nothing to do with the Demon Sect now. I came to see you today because you bullied me. My son, my son is almost in danger of his life, and he has malicious intentions towards Qingyun." "Bullyed your son?" Patriarch Bai Bone was dumb for a moment, not only him, but also Qin Wuyan and Jin Ping'er who were lurking in the dense forest The three of them, Xia Houge, were also dumbfounded at the moment, Qin Wuyan turned his head to look at Jin Ping'er, only to see Jin Ping'er also showed a blank expression, and said in astonishment: "Is this old man really so shameless? Even bullying children... ..." Qin Wuyan turned his head speechlessly, gave a "bah", seemed to feel a little unlucky, then shook his head greatly, and said: "It seems that the old white bone is really not very useful, it's okay to be thick-skinned to bully children, but since it's done, it's fine." You have to do it thoroughly. How could you hear the words that you haven't plotted against someone yet, and you are almost in danger of your life? That's a near miss. The old man has a child, but the plot failed. It's so useless Will it be like this?" At that moment, the expression on Xia Houge's face standing behind the two of them was really indescribably wonderful.Outside the dense forest, Patriarch Bai Bone was in a daze. He racked his brains and thought about it, but he didn't think of when he would go out of his way to feel sorry for a child these days. What's the matter with the child, it is clear that this person came to the door to bully the ancestor me.Patriarch Bone Bone is also a fierce and violent personality. Although he knows that this person is not kind, but with the Heavenly Ghost Saber in his hand, he has always been used to being admired by people in the temple of that wild land all his life, but he is not the slightest Not afraid, he said with a grim smile: "Whatever nonsense you say, if you want to die, the ancestor will grant your wish." After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhang Xiaofan had walked a few feet in front of him, he let out a low growl, Heavenly Ghost The black air of the knife was strong, and when it slashed in the air, ghosts screamed again and again. Countless black air gushed out from the Heavenly Ghost Sword, turning into a gust of wind and sweeping towards Zhang Xiaofan. Haunting in the black air, it is about to choose someone and devour it.In the dense forest, when Qin Ping'er saw this, she sneered suddenly, and said lightly: "The old man is so anxious to make the first move, I'm afraid he's not consciously guilty!" Qin Wuyan looked at him coldly, without saying a word, but he didn't say anything. To express a rebuttal.The black air billowed and roared towards him, engulfing Zhang Xiaofan's figure in an instant, seeing the roar of the evil spirit in the black air could be heard endlessly, but Patriarch Bone's face suddenly became condensed, a moment later, suddenly a ray of light came from the black air Lasing out, the momentum is like thunder, directly hitting the bone ancestor.Patriarch Bone's eyes widened, he roared loudly, but he didn't dodge or dodge, and the Heavenly Ghost Saber blocked in front of him.It's just that this clear light doesn't look very bright, and the mana contained in it is extremely powerful. With the way of Patriarch Baigu, the deadly weapon of the Heavenly Ghost Saber, his whole body was shocked instantly, and he couldn't help but retreat three steps in a row.Patriarch Bone raised his head in astonishment, but only heard a soft howl, a figure shot up into the sky from the black energy released in front of him, it was Zhang Xiaofan, those strange and vicious black energy ghosts didn't seem to have harmed him at all.I saw his face was solemn, his eyes were cold, he looked down, the fire stick in his hand had completely lost its light at this moment, and the black and red strange lights shot up into the sky, as if he had been suppressed for too long in some damn kitchen stove , roaring wildly, the Langlang universe actually darkened at this moment, the situation changed, that peerless weapon roared like a monster, unruly as before, a fierce aura came overwhelmingly, like a torrent, like a huge tide, in a blink of an eye flooded the entire forest.For the first time, an unbelievable look of fear and despair flashed in Patriarch Bone's eyes, he stood unsteadily like a leaf in the wind, with a hint of madness in his despair, he desperately sacrificed the Heavenly Ghost Knife, and slashed forward with a roar.However, the pressure of the burning fire stick was like a mountain, and it ignored the murderous knife at all. It was still invincible and overwhelming. The black light of the Heavenly Ghost Knife flickered, but it trembled involuntarily in the more magnificent and strange black and red light. A moment later, only Hearing an ear-piercing scream, the Heavenly Ghost Knife finally couldn't hold back, and was hit straight into the sky like a wild horse, and flew away like a kite with a broken string. Seeing that the knife was black and bleak, with cracks looming, it was this In an instant fight, the Heavenly Ghost Saber was severely injured.The fierce light was like a sea, drowning the figure of Patriarch Bone in an instant, and even drowning the fearful cries behind his mouth.

The icy aura was like a terrifying monster, entrenched outside this dense forest, coldly sweeping over the three people in the surrounding dense forest. At this moment, they felt as if they were trapped in an ice cellar, and their whole bodies were chilling.After a while, this unruly and fierce aura finally retreated slowly.The light swayed, Zhang Xiaofan slowly landed on the ground, the black and red colors on the burning stick in his hand faded, but there was a faint golden glow, plus the first ray of blue light, four colors of strange light flickered, looked out of place , but strangely merged into one, blending with each other like seamless, gradually turning into a very pure and very light white light, flickering slightly in his hand, Zhang Xiaofan seemed to have returned to that gentle and ordinary at this moment. The man stood there quietly.The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, the sun fell again, and the woods seemed to be calm again.In the silence, opposite to Zhang Xiaofan, Patriarch Bone Bone stood on the spot dumbly, with his mouth half open, there was still a ray of fear and despair on his face, but his expression seemed to be frozen.Zhang Xiaofan glanced at him indifferently, turned and walked away, leaving the dense forest.The sound of footsteps gradually receded, and there was a breeze blowing slowly, blowing over the skirts of Patriarch Bone's clothes, and suddenly there was a low and soft sound from him, and then the man who had been revered for many years in the temple of Mo Sect in the barren land The elder's body disintegrated instantly like sand meeting water, turning into ashes.In the dense forest, Qin Wuyan stared blankly at this scene, his face suddenly became extremely pale, after a long time.The look of horror still couldn't get out of his eyes, only to hear him trembling slightly in an inaudible voice, obviously emotionally agitated, and whispering to himself: "What's going on, what's going on, he , How could he have cultivated to such a terrifying state...How can this, this, this destroy Qingyun and revive all poisons?" Beside him, Jin Ping'er narrowed his eyes slightly, although there were a few expressions on his face. He looked different, but his expression was much calmer, but his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head slowly, and took a deep look at Qin Wuyan.
