Chapter 224 The second, second and third rounds went straight up to eight thousand Xun Lan, because of the strong wind and disinfection fire, he flew ninety thousand li

As mentioned above, the divine camel Yixiu was trapped at the bottom of Tongye Island. The ancestor Miaoyi of the Emei Sect led a group of immortals of two generations, elder and younger, together with the two elders of Songshan Mountain, the weed-picking monk Zhu Youmu, Jiang Xuejun, Li Ning, A Tong, Master Yuqing, Yang Jin and other celestial guests who are close friends with Emei, went to Tongye Island together to rescue the god camel Yixiu and Tianchi Master, so as to prevent Yixiu from breaking through the lungs of the earth and triggering the flood that was buried thousands of years ago. The poisonous flames of the huge fire in the ground boiled the sea and burned the sky, causing a boundless catastrophe that has never been seen in ancient times.After the arrival of the immortals, Master Miao Yi, who has practiced for many years because of his infatuation, is upright and aggressive, and does not want to hurt his face, even though he uses the supreme magic method of Taoism to make the elders and young immortals secretly control the three talents in the nine palaces in the air. Living in a place that must be won, the surface is still courteous and humble, knowing the benefits and disadvantages.Master Tianchi thought, at first he was a little suspicious and indecisive, but after Master Miaoyi repeatedly advised him, and then showed the fairy formation in the sky and all the immortals who came with him, Master Tianchi felt that he was at a loss for reason, and agreed to the opportunity.Because the enmity between the god camel Yixiu and his master and apprentice is deep, and his magic power is high, he was trapped in the ground only because he was motivated to win, otherwise he would not be able to restrain him.If there is an accident, before Master Miaoyi resolves it, as long as they meet each other, they will be jealous, and they will take revenge fiercely, and they will never give up. Although I am not afraid yet, how can the disciples resist it?I wanted to hide first, but Master Miaoyi liked his knowledge. In order to respect his master, he specially asked him to use Yimuwu's earth essence to reverse the formation until the magnetic peak moved away, and the god camel Yixiu climbed up from the ground, then he led his disciples to escape. Hole.

Sure enough, Yixiu was furious, and when he came out, he wanted to seek his bad luck, and at the same time, he launched the Taiyi God Thunder with all his strength to fuel the poisonous fire, trying to destroy the whole island to dispel the evil spirit in his chest, and the momentum was extremely violent.Fortunately, the immortals had already made preparations: on the one hand, they turned the ground into steel, leaving only fire holes, venting the poisonous flames of the fire from the ground; Press the cylinder tightly according to the size of the fire mouth; on one side, Xuanzhenzi and Miaoyi real person in the three-yuan direction each use boundless magic power to ignite the fire into the sky, and go straight to the dry sky at the junction of the two heavens. After the flame turned into ashes, it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.I'm also afraid that Yixiu will rely on his strength to attack the earth's lungs, and if he is negligent for a while, he will be caught by the poisonous qi of too much fire. When he sees the wind from the sky, the poison will attack and the injury will worsen; Using profound energy and true qi to force yourself to endure pain will eventually lead to pain; no matter how long it takes, the true energy will be depleted and it will not be easy to recover, which is no small matter.So he ordered Zhu Youmu, a monk who picks weeds, to go deep into the fire cave to meet him, so as to prevent him from doing whatever he wants.The two of them had a close relationship, and they knew Yixiu's temperament well, and their anger couldn't be explained away, so when they met, they surrounded him together with Buddha's light.After flying out of the light circle, Yixiu also saw the intention of Tai Huo Lian and the immortals, and was about to fly out to inquire.Zhu Youmu is afraid that he will be hurt and painful, so he is stopping him.First Daoist Miaoyi flew over, followed by another streak of golden clouds piercing the sky.Zhu Youmu just changed his words and said, "This man has come. Brother Dao, it's okay to go out." The Jinxia had already flown there, and there appeared two young girls, one beautiful and one ugly, bowing down to the three immortals at the same time and saluting respectively.

Shentuo Yixiu saw that it was Qi Xiaer and her new disciple Mi Mingniang who came.Before he could open his mouth, Master Miaoyi smiled and asked Xia'er: "Why did you arrive at this time? At least it's not too late, thanks to your master and apprentice." Xia'er stood up and replied respectfully: "Daughter's trip is quite dangerous, but fortunately there are some dangers. Disciple Sun Mingniang will go together, otherwise there will be only one place for the second treasure to borrow, and there will be no elixir, so it will be a waste of time." Master Miaoyi said: "Your master and apprentice will go back and forth to the wilderness for ninety thousand li in a few days, and it will be quite hard work. , I don’t have time to discuss in detail at this time. Fortunately, I’m done, I’ll rest on the sidelines first. When I leave, I’ll patrol with them and call you over when I’m young. Serve in a three-inch small tube rolled from banana leaves.He took Mingniang with him, bowed and retreated, and flew towards the crowd of Emei disciples.When the god camel Yixiu heard that Xia'er went back and forth to the Great Wilderness, he must have gone because of the poison he suffered.He smiled and asked: "Brother Dao is really brave. For me alone, besides mobilizing teachers and mobilizing everyone, he also sent Ling Ai to rush through dangers and go far into the wilderness. Can you even find those two old monsters?"

Master Miaoyi smiled and replied: "This unprecedented catastrophe will hurt countless souls, and it should be launched by Dao Brother. Therefore, Dao Brother has such profound Dao power, and he didn't foresee the opportunity and stop it in advance. However, we are tolerant and procrastinated." , still have to raise carbuncle and cause trouble. According to the secret instructions of the family teacher Xianzha, we can only let it happen in order to cope with the disaster. The most important thing is to be careful and be good at coping with the opportunity, so that this catastrophe can be calmly resolved. The difference is a little bit It's a thousand miles away, and it's extremely powerful. Otherwise, with the power of a Taoist brother, how can people be trapped? Even if there is a slight negligence, one or two people in my generation will rush there in time. Why bother with such a big thing? There is no need to worry about things anymore, you and fellow Taoists are both the culprits of the catastrophe, the authorities are obsessed, and the power of the leader is profound, and he will not be able to control it when the time comes, he will still act recklessly and ignorantly, ignorant but with interests, no matter how outsiders persuade his predecessors, it will be useless, foreknowledge will be the opposite Harmful. I was in Emei before, and I refused to speak out. That's why. Now that the catastrophe has been dealt with, we only have to clean up the mess. Both of us have practiced Taoism for many years, so we should let go of anger and calm down, and stop anger. Tan has already gained the upper hand, and this time when he found the door, he was ruthless as soon as he came up, which led to both sides taking risks and going to extremes. Being trapped in the ground was not because they didn't know that it was a trap, but because they were eager to win and were stimulated Because of one's own mana, even if you are hit by the poisonous gas of the fire, without the cure of the two treasures of the wilderness, you will only suffer a little bit of pain for a few days, and there will be no serious harm in the end. If you change another person, you will be injured by the fire, don't say you still have to attack Piercing the lungs of the earth, flying out of the cracked soil, he had to be buried in the ground at that time. After this, I saw that Dao brother's magic power, mystic art is profound, and he is really superior to others. The little brother tells you the benefits, knowing that this is caused by the catastrophe, and it is destined to be like this, immediately wake up, calm your mind, think that you have survived the disaster, and no longer care about the dispute between emotions. As long as the Taoist brothers are willing to let go of their suspicions, they can repair it and become friends as before. Fearing that the Daoist brother is new and doesn’t know the details, and still doesn’t understand, Tian Chi Daoyouye leads his disciples to avoid him temporarily. Daoist brother Haiyue’s strength, I think I should take it for granted, right?”

Yixiu laughed loudly and said, "Brother Qi Dao, you and I have been friends in times of trouble for many years, and you have never had anything unreasonable. How can you say something to me? At first, although I resented the foolish old man for being arrogant, I knew He is still an upright gentleman, and he only wants a little setback. Ever since the White Rhino Pond, I can't help feeling so disgusted in my heart. If it wasn't for the fellow Taoists who saved the disaster with the power of returning to heaven, the two of us would not only have spent many years of hard work in running water, but also made a lot of trouble. Isn’t this boundless crime beyond redemption? What’s more, it’s logical that I’m at fault, and I’m even more arrogant than him. At this moment, I just woke up from a nightmare, and this body is like picking it up out of thin air. What’s the resentment that can’t be resolved? Brother Dao, I’m still stubborn and self-willed , deliberately put a high hat on me, so why bother?" Qi and Zhu Erxian couldn't help laughing when they heard this.Master Miaoyi said: "Brother Dao's kindness is so admirable. At this time, my wife is following the elder brother to set fire to the sky, and the three of us are fine. The Yin fire in Brother Dao's body has been extinguished by the Sunda Lingzhu. We just wait Su Xingdai sucked the poison away, and he immediately recovered. Seeing that the master and apprentice of Tianchi Daoist are also injured, let's go to his cave to treat him together."

Yixiu escaped from the Buddha's light as early as Xia'er's master and apprentice left.When Master Miao Yi hadn't finished the first sentence, while speaking, he opened the clam shell in his hand, and from the inside emitted a bright green light, the size of a seven-point wine glass, and shot it at Yixiu.Following the movement of Master Miaoyi, he rolled around and flew up and down without stopping.After Sanxian finished talking about the past, Yixiu ordered him to take it away.Master Miaoyi replied: "The fire poison has not been sucked out, so I don't take it away for now. After all, it's much cooler. It's even better if you use it yourself." Yixiu knew that the poison was quite deep. It is cool and cool, but the true energy still does not dare to flow through the whole body.Then he took the clam shells over, with seven points of cold light on his fingers, and it worked like the law.The three immortals flew together to Master Tianchi's cave.

Tianchi's cave is very vast, with more than a thousand stone chambers, all of which have been destroyed by Yixiu's previous magic weapon, leaving only the two stone chambers on the second floor at the back.Master Tianchi has already realized the catastrophe, not only hates it, but is lucky.I'm afraid that Yixiu will embarrass him when they meet, and because the disciples have suffered a lot of injuries, he was busy retreating the enemy and taking revenge just now, before he can treat them, he is all suffering in the back cave.Knowing that this catastrophe will end soon, the god camel Yixiu will have a lot to say when he meets the immortals.I also suffered minor injuries, and I happened to find time to treat them together with my disciples.Then he led all the uninjured disciples to hide in the back cave together.While healing the wound, he was telling the disciples. Unexpectedly, the three immortals came to the door after a while, and hurriedly led the disciples out to meet him.Yixiu didn't wait for him to open his mouth, and said first: "Idiot old man, we have been cultivating for many years in vain, and we are still teased by the creator. The two of us don't know Yiyuhudi. Now that I think about the past, there is a real discrepancy. My hunchback has never confessed to anyone in my life, so how about taking the blame to you now?" Venerable Tianchi also laughed and said, "The two of us have been together for a while. Anger caused this catastrophe. Fortunately, fellow Daoist Qi and all fellow daoists had the power to recover from the disaster. Now that the nightmare has awakened, this is an old friend. What else can I say? Let’s not talk about the past. But you are here The fire and poison in the ground are extremely severe, and only the two old monsters of the Great Desolation each have a special treasure that can be cured. You have a cold light around you, which resembles the legendary Sunda Lingzhu in the past. Have you ever borrowed Shen Guan?" Then he walked in with them and sat down separately.Immortal Miaoyi interjectedly replied: "The two treasures were borrowed from my daughter Xia'er. I saw that there were still fifteen pills in the banana leaf. I didn't have time to ask my daughter about the situation at the time of the borrowing. This Danlu Taoist friend is very precious. It’s amazing how much I got.”

Master Tianchi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and before he could answer, Zhu Youmu caught a glimpse of eighty or ninety disciples with blue and white half-arms lying on the north couch, some of them seemed to have been injured by the thunder of Taiyi God, some had their hands and feet broken, and they were crippled. The remaining limbs were placed next to each of them, their faces were all blue and purple, and they were in extreme pain.Knowing that Master Tianchi was administering treatment, he hurriedly said: "Brother Yi Daoist is really ruthless, how big is this group of juniors, why bother to do it like this?" But I can't help myself. Fortunately, the remaining bones are not lost, and with the strength of the four of us, there are more than a dozen grains of Lu Jialing Pills, and it is not difficult to restore them. Let Qi Daoxiong be the leader, and give them some medicine first. Treat them." Master Miaoyi said: "With this panacea, it will be easy. Many of their minor injuries have been healed by fellow Taoist Tian Chi. There are nine people with such serious injuries, so please ask fellow Taoist Tian Chi to take nine pills." Spirit pills, use this method to heal them.” Master Tianchi knew that the seriously injured disciples could only use his own spirit pills to calm the pain, but it was difficult to recover.And Lu's Nine Turns Hundred Alchemy Pills can be reborn, brought back to life, and regenerated limbs. It is very effective, can divide two or three pills, and has the hope of recovery, but each person gives one pill.I am very happy, thank you very much, and will pass.In addition to enclosing the fifteen elixirs and describing the usage, the banana leaf also has a hairpin inside for Taoist crowns.Everyone has heard about the miraculous function of this treasure for a long time, and each of them pays attention to it.Its quality is neither gold nor jade, neither stone nor wood, and I don't know what it is made of.The color is as black as lacquer, dull and dull, but the form is extremely quaint.If it weren't for the wise eyes of all the immortals, they could see the denseness and indistinctness inside, and the layers flow; if the power of the Tao is a little weak, they will look at it as ordinary things, and they will definitely not know that it is a rare treasure from ancient times.

Master Miaoyi handed the banana leaves to Venerable Tianchi for a look, then wrapped up the elixir and put it away.Holding the hairpin in her hand, she walked towards Yixiu, and said with a smile, "Woman Lu is selfish and would rather give a panacea. If I don't pass on the usage of this hairpin, I can only absorb the poison of fire. There are so many miraculous functions that I can't appreciate it." After finishing speaking, Then he wiped the treasure hairpin in his hand on Yixiu's head and face, and the hairpin moved wildly.Immediately, Yixiu felt a sharp pain burst out of his wound.Inside the hairpin, there are a few wisps of blood-like shadows seeping into it, slowly popping out, appearing and hiding.It takes about half a cup of tea for the fire poison to be exhausted.Hold it in your hand and look at it carefully, only a few streaks of blood as thin as a cow's hair, wrapped in the inner cloud, whirling around, gradually disappearing without a trace.Master Miaoyi was appreciating, when he suddenly heard an old woman's voice saying: "This treasure is finished, please use the head of the hairpin to point to the east, and flick it three times in the middle, and it will fly back by itself. Fortunately, don't stay for a long time." On the hairpin, Master Miaoyi knew that there was a method of sending voices attached to her hairpin. This treasure was connected with her soul, and it was marked by the flick of a finger.Then he walked to the door, acted according to the words, flicked three fingers, and treated each other with hands.After a while, seeing the hairpin vibrate slightly, it suddenly turned into a stream of silver sparks, only a few inches long, with a crackling sound at the end, piercing through the air, surpassing the electric switch, and flying to the east, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Master Miao Yi returned to his seat again.Yixiu has recovered, and said with a smile: "Lu Yu is really stingy, who would have the nerve to keep her things? This is in a hurry." Zhu Youmu said: "It's no wonder. This treasure is her lifeblood, why don't you take it seriously?" She has such an eccentric temperament, she is willing to borrow treasures and donate medicines, which is already a great face. You see that she is so anxious to take it back, and it is so difficult for two people to borrow it in a short time." Yixiu also laughed. Said: "This is true. Don't say that this treasure is her panacea. If you want her to take one pill on weekdays, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. I don't know how to give fifteen pills at a time? And the only one who is injured is not cured. There are nine people, but there are six grains left over. I have heard for a long time that this old woman has some unexpected chances, but she has a eccentric personality. She only talks about rewarding and giving, and she has clear grievances and grievances. She refuses to help others easily as if she has nothing to ask for. This is strange, and there must be a reason .I am now recovering from the beginning of my spirit, so it is difficult to focus on it. Fellow Daoist Qi is profound in his profound arts, and he is the first to know, so why not count him in?"

Master Miaoyi said: "The two elders of the Great Wilderness like to do strange things. When they gave the pill, they might have reversed the yin and yang. Things have a definite number, so what's the use of counting him? When I was young, I had to help the big brother and fellow Taoists to practice the law. When fellow Taoist Tian Chi heals all the disciples, he must go with him. The place where the ashes of the catastrophe spread covers a vast area, and it is easy for everyone to do it. The more assistants the better, there is no time for this, so let him go." At that time, Master Tian Chi had divided each elixir into two according to the instructions on the banana leaf: one half was made to be swallowed by the injured person; Gong, a mouthful of true energy will be sprayed up.The half-grain of the elixir immediately turned into a ball of green energy, which overflowed from the wound and wrapped the outside around.The inside is naturally hot, and the bones and muscles are gradually formed, and the essence and blood are flowing.About a cup of tea, the outer ring gradually disappeared into the flesh with the smoke, and the wound immediately grew and recovered, just like a good person.Like this one by one treatment will pass, Master Miaoyi, Yixiu, and Zhu Youmu are helping each other, and treating several slightly injured disciples who were not treated by Master Tianchi just now, the total is less than half. Time, all healed.The nine severely injured and disabled people also had their limbs connected and restored to their original state, and they were ordered to rest in the cave and not move around for the time being.The uninjured disciples are only allowed to watch from the back of the cave, and are not allowed to follow; they are also separated by immortal methods to avoid ignorance and accidental injury.Then they walked out of the cave together and looked towards the sky, the poisonous flames of the great fire accumulated in the ground had not yet been sprayed out, but the momentum became more violent than before.

At this time, Xuan Zhenzi and Mrs. Miaoyi had gone straight up to the sky, but there was no one there.More than a dozen senior immortals at the Nine Palaces all used their profound kung fu to jointly designate a ball of golden light above the mouth of the fire, suppress the mouth of the acupuncture point, tighten the fire, and make it go straight up to avoid overflowing.In order to prevent unexpected changes, the disciples of Emei each held a magic weapon of flying swords, soared into the sky with the escape light, circled the Nine Palaces, and looked around.I saw dozens of hundreds of brilliance, like a rainbow through the sky, surrounded by tens of feet of golden light, three in one cluster, five in one group, changing with each other, electric driving stars, coming and going like shuttles, interweaving and intertwining all over the sky. Huihuan, go to Cheyunqu.Except for one of the black pillars blazing with blood, the gloomy clouds and mist in the sky on all sides, together with the endless blue sea below, were all reflected in the splendor of clouds.Compared with the previous time when the poisonous flame first erupted from the ground, it was another wonderful scene.Master Tianchi secretly checked, these new recruits from the Emei sect not only have extraordinary skills, but also the magical treasures they use are miraculous, infinitely useful and extremely powerful.Fang Zai nodded in secret praise, and caught a glimpse of Qi Xia'er, who had just returned from the Great Wilderness Borrowing Treasure for the first time, together with four girls with the best bones and the youngest, flying around.Xia'er was in the middle, with one finger pointing to a golden light, and the other holding a tripod.When the first girl in red dresses with the sword, she holds a precious mirror, which emits a hundred feet of golden light, which appears and disappears from time to time, shining everywhere.The one on the left is pointing to a blue rainbow; the one on the right is pointing to a purple rainbow: it is the two swords of Qingsuo and Ziying, the treasures of Master Changmei who used to slay demons and suppress mountains.The last one, a golden rainbow and strange light on his finger, is actually similar to the Nanming Lihuo sword that Bodhidharma inherited from the ancestor he heard before. All the sects are flying back and forth within the Nine Palaces formation, but these five people seem to be outside the formation, driving in a plum blossom-shaped circle.Master Tianchi thought to himself: "Don't blame Emei for being so powerful, don't say that these younger generations have new immortal roots and bones. There is no place to find these few immortal swords, not including other rare treasures. Pai Yaoxie, how can we fight against them? To eliminate this unprecedented catastrophe, we should be cautious, but the fairy formation is wonderful, the defense is extremely strict, and the main figures of his sect are gathered here, and several people with high magic power have also been invited , according to the situation, who dares to come to die, how can he make all the disciples fly all over the sky and step up their guards, isn't it superfluous? Taking fellow Daoist Qi as a person, it seems that he wants to show off his sect, but he doesn't seem to be able to." Fang Zai was puzzled, Qi Xia'er and the other five female disciples were flying in the room, shouting at the same time, when the girl in red put a mirror on the slanted stab, the five female disciples pointed to the magic weapon of the flying sword and chased after them.Master Tian Chi expected something to happen, so he used his sharp eyes to see that where the golden light shone from the mirror, two tall devil shadows with ferocious faces flew up.As soon as a one-legged one appeared, he waved his hand, and a cloud of off-white sparks hit him head-on.Qi Xia'er rushed forward, pointed to the treasured tripod in her hand, and two beams of light, one red and one white, flew out from the mouth of the tripod, rolling forward like a dragon absorbing water.At the same time, the three sword lights of Ziying, Qingsuo, Nanming, Zi, Qing and Hong also shot out.The two phantoms seemed to know that they were invincible, they both let out strange howls and fled through the air.The five girls hurriedly chased forward, but all of them disappeared into the shadow of the sky in the blink of an eye.The phantom came fiercely and quickly, and its flight was especially fast.According to the scene of stealth watching, it is clear that there are ulterior motives in the heart, those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.But Reverend Miaoyi, Yixiu and Zhu Youmu stood below, they only watched from the sidelines, they didn't do anything, as if nothing happened, Master Tianchi felt strange.Taking a closer look, it turned out that at some point, Master Chi Miaoyi secretly used the invisibility method to hide himself.Just thinking that the phantom is like the legendary seven-fingered demon and Guchen, the old ghost in the snow mountain, the real Miaoyi and Yixiu kept their faces, and there must be another clever plan.Sure enough, his thoughts just changed, he caught a glimpse of the five females driving together, Dunguang, and flew back quickly, and was about to fly to land in front of him.The three immortals suddenly pointed their hands upwards at the same time, and there was a hundred feet of golden light and a thousand balls of thunder and fire, which shot up into the sky.The two phantoms suddenly appeared in the sky again, and they were startled by the god-eating thunder, and rolled several times in succession, as if they were about to run away in a panic, with an extremely embarrassed look on their faces.Then the five girls flew back, and five sword lights flew down together, twisted head-on, and immediately scattered the two phantoms, screaming twice, and the electricity seemed to be flying, and they were thrown out in all directions.The movements of the two sides were extremely fast, and there was no trace in a blink of an eye.The red-clothed girl was still using the mirror to look around, Master Miaoyi had already removed all the invisibility and teleportation techniques, and ordered them to come down. When the five girls heard the call, they fell down together, bowed and stood beside them.Only then did Master Tianchi see that not only were each other completely hidden, even the fire cave and the nine palaces in the air were not places that he had seen just now.The distance is still far away, and I went out together with myself, and it is a place where I have lived for a long time. Everyone is so quiet, and they didn't even see the method of disappearing, so ashamed.He smiled and asked: "Seeing that the demon is quite similar to the demon corpse Gu Chen and the old ghost of Xueshan, the three Taoists have such supernatural powers, why don't you just get rid of them?" Invisible into the ground, using evil magic and sorcery to make the unfinished poisonous flame burst out at the same time, and burst out of the ground. I saved this catastrophe. Although the fire has already vented more than half, the disaster is not as strong as before. It's no small matter. Fortunately, I have already taken precautions and made arrangements in advance. Knowing that the two demon corpses are deceitful and clever, they are afraid of being discovered, so I didn't say it clearly, and only tried to treat each other in secret. Nothing is like the fate of the demon corpse, which is too hot and poisonous. The spraying has not been finished yet, and all the aftermath has not been stopped, so they can't do it with all their strength. Finally, Xia'er and the four female disciples are still alert and fast. When they came back, United rewarded them with a sword, causing them to go away severely. Although they escaped, their vitality was severely injured, so they had no choice but to return to their old lair. Emei infestation, we can't do it." Xia'er was beside her, bowed with a smile and said: "It's not because my daughter can know the situation in advance, but because of the old man Kuzhu's advice in advance, I have to be on guard first. In this way, it is still a little late due to contingencies. I was fooled again, I didn’t get rid of the demon corpse as expected, I only wounded them with a sword, the hidden danger has not disappeared, so it’s wasted effort.” Miao Yi said: "I believe that the demon corpse rarely encounters such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge, and I will never give up. On the one hand, it uses evil methods and hides it secretly, lest we figure out the truth; on the other hand, we eliminate the catastrophe. I don't have time to take care of it, I will destroy it in secret first, if it doesn't work, I will destroy my fairy mansion. I will seal the fire hole around it tightly to prevent intrusion. Wait for him to activate, then use the Taiyi God Thunder to strike hard, and seal off the sky above Ningbi Cliff, and invite two fellow Taoists to sit in the old site of Suoyun Cave to prevent accidents. Shen, this adventure must have some murderous intent, and the whereabouts are extremely erratic and secretive, and you can't see it with nineteen eyesight. Jin Chan is often negligent, and has never seen the enemy. Fearing that the disciples will be ignorant and plotted by the demon corpse, Teminger is the same as driving the light, flying and cruising within the Jiugong position. There is a phantom in the sky here, but it is more dangerous to avoid. The magic weapon held by Chuyier has something to control him. I just want to wait for me and Yi and Zhu The two Taoist brothers launched the divine thunder. When the demon corpse was injured and appeared, they joined forces to attack him and gave him a powerful attack. The transformation of the demon corpse's profound art is different from other demons. It comes and goes like lightning, elusive. I didn't plan to hurt him. , but slightly increase the power, I will try it. If it is successful, it can also avoid the harassment of Emei. Seeing that you and the other five are united with Dunguang, each holding a flying sword and a magic weapon, flying outside the formation, according to the situation, There was no reason to fail, so he was instructed by a wise man. Sure enough, although he was fooled and lured away by him, he was still vigilant and chased him back. The magic is that the three swords are his nemesis. Although he was not executed, the injury was already serious. It is definitely not something that can be recovered in a short period of time. It will be much easier to get rid of him in another day. The demon corpse has not yet ended its luck, and its supernatural powers have been rampant for five or six hundred years. He refuses to be provoked easily. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by you and other juniors, why is my son not satisfied?" Yixiu interjected and asked: "The two old monsters in the Great Wilderness have weird tempers, especially Lu Yu is perverted and unreasonable. Why did they sell so well this time? When my niece Xian met her, did she have any words?" Master Miao Yi Seeing that the fire is still early, Mrs. Miaoyi and Xuanzhenzi are still at the junction of the spirit and space, using the evil spirit of Qiantian Gang to dissipate the poisonous flames, there is no movement yet.Knowing that Shentuo Yixiu and Master Tianchi accidentally escaped a catastrophe that destroyed both body and spirit this time, the two elders of the Great Wilderness were most concerned about their actions, and they were eager to inquire in detail, so they ordered Xia'er to tell the whole story of the borrowed treasure. .Xia'er took the order and said it all over again. It turned out that since Qi Xia'er took the order of Master Miaoyi in Ningbi Immortal Mansion that day, and received the letter from the Cambodian post, she brought her new female disciple Mi Mingniang and got up immediately.Knowing that the matter is very important, the round trip is 90,000 li, the journey is long, and there are many obstacles in the middle.Near the Great Barren Mountains, there is an ocean with a radius of ten thousand li. There are hundreds of thousands of islands and floating sands in it. Most of them hide ghosts and evil spirits. They are very dangerous.The most difficult thing is that these kind of monsters are almost always subdued by the two elders of the Great Wilderness. They only live on the island and practice, and never go out to harm others, so it is inconvenient to hurt them easily.They have practiced for thousands of years, have refined inner alchemy, are good at changing, and each has extremely powerful magic power, which is different from ordinary spirits and monsters.Lu Er among the two elders even set up a very long ban on these islands. The ban is very magical, and there is no sign to be found. It is like a moat in the sea.Except for her voluntary extension to see, if the person passing by, the restraint has infinite magical effects, and it can continue to grow up and down, left and right, and block the way, so don't even think about flying over.Xia'er thought to herself: "Although I have learned Taoism for many years, my magic power is strong, and I have several fairy swords and magic weapons to protect me. After all, the matter is urgent and the responsibility is heavy. Parents and elders have newly opened the Immortal Mansion, and even Zhuge, Yue Wen and other long-door disciples None of them were sent, but I sent myself out for the first time, so I know it is very important. If you are frustrated and go back halfway, don’t say that you have no face and invite the same family, and your parents will be disgraced.” Can’t help but be extra cautious. The two master and apprentice flew out of the Immortal Mansion, accelerated their speed and drove for more than a thousand miles, and then settled in a secluded and uninhabited valley to discuss how to invite them.Mi Mingniang said: "The Southern Xingyuan of the Great Wilderness Mountain, my disciple went to visit Immortal Lu with my master in the past. I went there once. Although the fate is shallow and the fortune is poor, Immortal Lu refuses to give me a visit. I am about to go to the Linggu where I live During the process, she was expelled back, but the local situation, I know a general idea. At that time, Immortal Lu hadn't been angry with others, and the barrier of the gods in the sea hadn't been set up yet, and it was difficult to deal with the spirits and monsters in the islands along the way. Fortunately, The first teacher got advice from a high-level expert from the other sect, and first hid in the first pass on Shenmo Island for three months. It was found out that the island guards have strange habits. Three months later, it will be the fairy's birthday again, and all the ghosts and monsters of the islands will go to pay their respects. They hurried back, pretending to be a merchant, and prepared most of the boatload of preserved fruits made of honey and various kinds of famous incense. They traveled more than a hundred miles to outlying islands, Practiced in secret, with a gust of wind and waves, the boat was blown to the beach of the island and ran aground, and the disciples were guarded on the boat, and went to the side to hide. The disciples pretended to offer preserved fruits, burned incense and prayed to the sky, and attracted the monster. As usual, they met The merchant ships drifting in the wind must be escorted by it on the road, and no harm is allowed. These two are its hobbies, and the disciple pretends to be afraid and offers it food as much as possible. He also pretended to be angry, blaming his disciple for offering the preserved fruit he sold to the monster. He wanted to beat him up, but the monster had a human face and a fish body. Shi received the wind, first lied to it and made a heavy oath, saying that it would not respond to what it asked for, and then gave it a boat full of goods to win its favor. The first master lived on the island for another month, and finally talked about going to see Lu Xian Possession, I beg it to try to carry it and sneak across the critical pass. The monster is straight-hearted and coaxed by the teacher's flattery, and mistakenly believed that the fairy woman had promised it when he was traveling in the Middle Earth, because there were too many obstacles along the way. They had to hide in its big mouth on the occasion of birthday celebration, so that they could pass through. Immediately, they promised to allow disciples and apprentices to hide in its strange mouth, which was bigger than the city gate, and lead them all the way to the foot of the Great Barren Mountain. "The first master went ashore, and led his disciples to bow one step at a time, and he would go in. Seeing that he was about to arrive, Immortal Lu suddenly sent a message, firmly refusing to see her, and ordered to return quickly. The first master was still begging, a golden light burst out from the valley, forcing Roll away the disciples, master and apprentice, and send them thousands of miles away before leaving. When they first flew up, they saw that the mermaid had been cut in half, and there was a puff of green smoke rising straight to the heart of heaven. I knew it was a monster, but I didn't see it for real. Because it landed on the sea not far from the God Otter Island, the monster guarding the island was dead, and it happened to be there to practice and avoid disasters, so he still searched for it. After living for ten years, no one came. , should be robbed, did not understand the fairy woman's deep heart, but because of the humiliation and hatred, if the magic power is too weak, I have already gone to seek revenge. Suddenly, I was very quiet and wanted to move. I went to China to visit friends and left my disciples to guard the island. Only four days later, a big ugly girl came, claiming to be the reincarnation of a mermaid, saying that she had been fooled by her predecessors and was dismissed by soldiers, but she had practiced for thousands of years, and she could not succeed unless she went through this test. Fortunately, she was able to reincarnate Misfortune turns into blessing, reincarnation is humane, so I don't hold any grudges in my heart. As soon as I was born, I could speak to others, soar and change, and there are many supernatural signs. If she was born in a Han family, she would be considered a freak, and she might be killed at that time. The witch who was reborn in that family was a witch from the aborigines. Seeing that she had fish scales and a strange appearance, she just used her to intimidate the mountain people and act as a domineering blessing. "In order to repay the witch's kindness of nurturing, although the mermaid acted according to her mother's words, she conceived many miracles and collected money from the mountain people, but she was not ignorant of her roots, and she was afraid of doing evil. Since she was three years old, she asked the mountain people for a cave. She practiced in a closed house and didn't see people easily. On the seventh year, she felt that the period of repaying her kindness had expired, and she was about to return to her homeland. It happened that the witch had made too many enemies because of her repeated evil deeds behind her back. Knowing that the mermaid has closed her cave, she secretly used gold and pearls to invite a witch from the deep mountains of Ailao Mountain, who is used to driving poisonous snakes to harm people, and took the risk. Disobedience, stop offering routines. Calculating that she will lead her disciples to threaten her, the sorcerer ambushed the demon snake Nine Star Hook and the poisonous snake captured by the demon in the valley along the main road. In the past, witches used to deceive people with their mouths, and they had no tricks. They all relied on the supernatural powers of the babies they gave birth to, and no one dared to provoke them. Within two years, the mermaid knew that her mother had accumulated too many grievances. She is the birth mother, and the real magic is afraid that she will use it to benefit evil, so I passed on two kinds of illusions to her. At first, the mountain people were ignorant and believed in gods and ghosts. As long as they can conjure up some evil spirits of water, fire, people will be afraid of them and dare not approach them. It is more than enough for self-defense. When teaching it, I also told Naimu that it is not the real law, and it can only be used in emergencies to suppress enemies. On the contrary, it led to disaster. The witch first listened to persuasion, and did not often do anything. Seeing that everyone respected them like gods, the enemies in the neighboring villages were even more timid, giving and taking whatever they wanted, letting bullying and blackmailing, not daring to resist in the slightest, and could not help but get carried away. Her heart is greedy again. And ruthless, it is better for the mountain people of our own tribe. All villages near and far have been victimized and deceived, and there is no peace in seeking. If there is a slight disobedience, or greed is not fully satisfied, immediately use illusions, pretending to be intimidating by gods and ghosts. The result Not only doubled the blackmail, but also beat the other side's village chief and border chief to demonstrate. "The mermaid is practicing diligently. After the autobiography, she hasn't released it for three years, and she will run amok. After a long time, it becomes a habit, and her arrogance grows, and she forgets the previous warning. She thinks that no matter how vicious and powerful the opponent is, as long as the two illusions are used As soon as it is used, it can immediately force surrender, life and death, and everything is as you wish. The opponent was originally a great chief hundreds of miles away. , and soon became strong and weak. First, he used the power of the mermaid to avenge his feud and killed many people. Finally, he showed miracles, surrendered naturally, and paid regular tribute on time. The witch still spared him. Among the hundreds of mountain villages near and far, this family is the worst. They are insulted in every possible way, often for no reason, which makes them worry all day long and cannot breathe. What is even more abominable is that the mountain people believe in ghosts, and every native has one or two ghosts and gods She actually ordered that they be insulted and destroyed. Since the year before last, she has also ordered that a pair of virgins and boys should be donated in spring and autumn every year to be used as sacrifices to the gods of her own clan; They are replaced by the children of outsiders. With this, the grievances are deepened and deepened. The enemy can really endure humiliation and win the hearts of the people. His family is the most united. Never disobeyed. The witch regarded him as a pig and dog for a long time, and paid no attention to him at all. She only wanted to squeeze out the golden beads buried by this family in the past, and then killed the whole family of the village owner. Donate, will always increase your wealth. It is concluded that he has succumbed, and he will never dare to have second thoughts until he dies. Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard that he stopped donating. "Because all the people of this clan believed in the village master, they obeyed everything at first and reluctantly kept him alive. Unexpectedly, they dared to lead the rebellion, thinking that the crime was heinous. When they left, they wanted to repeat the old trick. When they arrived, they used illusion to subdue the crowd and pretended to be a god." He was ordered to kill all the wives, concubines and children of the village master, to please his heart. Unexpectedly, the evil was full of evil, and the killing star followed his life. He walked through the valley halfway, and an ambush suddenly appeared. The seven-star hook is the most powerful hook-tailed poisonous snake in southern Xinjiang. Once they meet, More than a dozen disciples who lined up at the head were bitten to death by snakes and pythons first, and the witch hurriedly used illusions to retreat from the enemy. The witch did not have many tricks except for raising seven-star poisonous snakes and being able to drive away snakes and pythons. Seeing the flood and fire in the valley, there are countless gods and ghosts , appearing to show her power, but also regretful and afraid. She thought she had been fooled and offended the gods, and she was waiting to kneel down in panic, confessing her sins and begging for mercy. But the witch was panicked and frightened when she saw that she was in a hurry, and she acted slowly. Back, the seven-star hook is quite spiritual, and it is coming very urgently. The first one has already charged close. This kind of poisonous snake has a characteristic, the faster the escape, the faster the chase. If the witch calms down a little, it is only a few words away After a while, the witch can call out the snake twice more, and come down to avenge the crime. It is better to know that the illusion is false, and know that the poisonous snake is powerful. If it is swept by its tail, it will die miserably. Seeing the fire, the snake will not be killed.吓退，惊魂皆颤，一面反身飞逃，立即失声高喊饶命起来。那对头因受害的次数太多，虽出破绽，只是不敢拿准。这次本就有意拼命，见状如何能容。同时妖巫见毒蛇能在火中追逐敌人，已经省悟过来，不特未再喝止，反倒发令后面蛇蟒齐上。后面的蛇还未上前，女巫已吃那为首毒蛇赶上，前半头颈直竖地上，扬起后半两丈多长身子，连着钩尾一鞭扫去。那毒蛇坚如精钢，力又绝猛，只一下，便把女巫拦腰打为两截，尸横就地，脏腑狼藉，幻术也自失效。后面蛇蟒一齐追上，连那同去徒众，一齐把血肉吃尽，剩下二三十具白骨。 “那对头如若就此走去，也可推为毒蛇所杀，与他无干。一则积忿太深，又见水火神鬼俱是假的，既想复仇，又起贪心。以为人鱼也和仇人一样，只是骗人伎俩。仗着妖巫相助，许以重利，欲乘胜前往，屠杀女巫全族，一人不留，并夺取所积金珠财货。事有凑巧，正值这日人鱼十年期满，忽然心动，欲往见母多聚一日。由洞中走出，瞥见敌人大举杀来，并还带有毒蛇大蟒，同族山人已死了十几个，正在辱骂追杀。一听口气，才知生母已被妖巫所豢毒蛇惨杀，不由动了母子间天性。又见敌人如此凶残，当时大怒，立即飞身上前，先将蛇蟒用法力制住，一齐杀死；再将为首仇人和妖巫擒住，问明经过，一一处死，报了母仇。因问出乃母恶迹，咎由自取，不愿再杀余下敌党。又恐去后双方复仇，祭灵之后，取出乃母生前所积财货，当众分散；并令折箭为誓，结成兄弟，从此互不侵害。敌党见她果真灵异，畏如天神，本料无一得免，不料反倒加恩，自然心悦诚服，反怨为恩，喜出望外。便是本族的人，平日也受女巫凌践，外寨所献财货，永无分润，稍有不合，立遭严罚，本都心中怨恨，敢怒而不敢言。做梦也没想到，寨主如此大方，一反乃母所为，自然欢欣鼓舞，无不惟命。双方立时释嫌修好。人鱼又加许多劝诫恐吓，然后升空飞走。走了没有多远，瞥见山脚下有人受伤倒卧。下去一看，正是先师，说是路遇正教中仇人，斗法大败，受伤逃此，谁知无心中隔世相逢。知道人鱼心善，托她带话，令弟子前往相见，行时，人鱼又将弟子唤住，说她生长南疆，没遇见一个识字的，请代取一姓名，并告弟子，先师劫运已临，身受重伤，还不悔过，妄想报仇，万无幸免。说我虽是他的门下，心肠却好，面上并无恶纹。叫我在师父死后，可速来此，还有要紧话说。弟子急于看望师父，心乱如麻，匆匆为她取了一个与她前生以及心性相合的姓名，叫做鱼仁，便自走去。寻到先师不久，没等报仇，便已遭劫。 “自知邪不胜正，葬师以后，没奈何，姑且回往岛上。鱼仁又对弟子说，她前生如非数应兵解，被杀实是冤枉。因卢仙婆玄机妙算，善于前知，上次她带先师和弟子前往，如若不许，必要传声相告，但事前并无警兆。她知仙婆法令素严，仍敢带往，便是为此。虽然先师未容入门相见，但是仙婆性情古怪，来人如与无缘，决不容他登岸入山。先师偏又遭劫，却许来人拜抵谷口，这有缘人必还是弟子，只为时机未到，故不肯见。说我以后如无所归，何妨再往一试，前行虽有两处极凶险的关口，但她仍能相助过去。只要能见到仙婆，必有好处。日后想起，如事先寻她商计，必有善策，通行无阻。但彼时弟子年幼气盛，既恸先师之死，半由仙婆不肯垂怜加以援手；又恨她乖僻心狠，听过并未在意。后来得人指点，达摩老祖的南明离火剑藏在大雪山内，所留偈语与弟子之名有些暗合，因此费了许多心力寻掘出来。偏生此剑外有神泥封合，正下苦功炼它，不料是余师叔应得之宝，带了神雕、袁星前来寻取。弟子不知就里，误以为来人有意劫夺，一时情急，不合妄用邪法。幸蒙师父不杀之恩，又蒙收录，才有今日。此行往返九万余里，为期只有七日，中途险阻又多，径直前往，师父飞遁尽管神速，中途一有阻滞，便恐延误。现在弟子想起前事，觉着鱼仁之言大是有因。反正顺路，何妨姑往一试呢？” 齐霞儿闻言，方在沉吟，明娘又道：“师父如因她是异类，不愿与之交往，到时弟子往见，不知可否？”霞儿答道：“行时，教祖本赐柬帖灵符，柬帖上注明海边开视。我师徒二人暂停商议，固是为了慎重，一半也是为了老祖师开府后，分别时曾背人对我说，日后如有疑难，可用以前所传佛法，通灵默祝，当即垂示。你说了这么大一会儿，我正暗中通诚，所以没有答话。我现已祝告两次，师祖并未向我传声指示，想必此行无大难题，可以放心前行，相机处置，此时心已放了一半。我所虑的，并非途中水怪，只为大荒二老均有古怪脾气，倘若相见，不肯借宝，岂不误事？先去哪一处好，也还难定。教祖也说此行全仗心灵知机，可见艰难。且到海边恭读过了法谕，再作计较吧。” 说罢，霞儿重又向神尼优昙通灵默祝，终无回应，只得带了明娘重又飞起。因先耽误约有半个时辰，格外加紧飞驶，顷刻千里。师徒二人更不再停，一口气飞到东溟极海，天还未亮。前行不足万里，便是大荒山的所在，所有险阻也全在这末了一段路上。霞儿按落遁光，取出柬帖一看，只有一张去大荒山阴、山阳两条路径的草图。霞儿根骨深厚，从小入道，机智绝伦。暗忖：“师父以我是佛门中人，此次为报亲恩，特命还山侍父，待命行道，助完当年宏愿。父亲行事机密，如感不能胜任，决不出此难题。这张柬帖原随师祖灵符一起交下，行前并未提说。久闻大荒二老仙玄机奥妙，善于前知，看这字忽隐迹，可见事极机密。推测柬帖上图径偈语之用意，分明令我师徒分道扬镳，当机立断之意。既命随意所之，那人鱼并未禁止相见，何妨一试？”便告明娘引路，先往神獭岛一行，并在海边说好，此行并无成算，只是随机应变。到时，也许分开，各奔一方。再往前去，便凭心领神会，不再多言，免被对方警觉误事。师徒二人商定以后，便即起身，遁光神速，先飞越过东海角，入了东荒极海。只见海天混茫，万里无涯，吞舟巨鱼与荒海中千奇百怪的水族介贝之类，成群出没。水气汹腾，上接霄汉，波涛愈发险恶，天日为昏。 那神獭岛乃去大荒头一关，相隔不远，不消多时，便已赶到。见岛不甚大，却极高峻。远看宛如一个胁生双翅、千百丈高的怪神，披发张翼，矗然独立于无边辽海之中，挡住去路，看去十分威猛。霞儿灵警慎重，见岛势如此险恶，明娘与鱼仁久不相见，早蓄戒心。二人遁光原本合在一起，便把自己身形隐去，一面暗令明娘小心，独自照顾，以防不测。明娘深知鱼仁对她有十二分的好意，便不指点相助，决不至于作梗，还在暗笑师父多虑。不料遁光刚一飞近，正待下降，忽听飕的一声，千百丈方圆一蓬蓝晶晶的光网，像蛟龙吸水，其疾如箭，由岛面上直喷上来。变起仓猝，来势又迅急异常，事前一无警兆，又不见甚邪气，即使二人久经大敌，也没料到会有这类广大神速的埋伏，如何抵御得及。以霞儿的飞遁神速，本可挟了明娘一起遁走，偏在到时把遁光分开，一个措手不及，明娘竟被网去。还算是霞儿法力高强，事前又有戒心，一见那东西不是飞剑所能克制，立即升空遁走，未遭罗网。百忙中回顾下面，明娘连人带遁光吃那光网裹住，一路强挣，飞舞而下，去势更比飞起时神速，目光到处，已早降落。不禁大怒，扬手忙把太乙神雷连珠般发将出去时，人影已经无踪。霹霹连声，枉自打得天摇地震，雷火横飞，更无动静。岛上妖物始终不曾现形，烟光也未再现。 霞儿心想：“神雷或因飞身太高，妖网难中，故未出现。”改用法宝护身，手持禹鼎施为，并故意下降，诱她发网。一直降到岛上，妖物光网仍未出现。后又假作无奈何飞走，暗把遁光敛去，隐身回来窥视，仍是无用。细一查看，那岛通体石质，一色浑成，草木不生，更无一个可以容人栖止的洞穴。只顶上有一座天生石柱，上有“东溟门户”四个朱书古篆。另外有一茅篷，篷前有一石坛，已被太乙神雷震裂粉碎。到处山石崩裂，俱是适才雷火之迹，别的无迹兆可寻。越想越气，意欲用神雷将全岛粉碎，继一想：“这一类精怪，多是海中鱼介水族，从二老度化修成。遇有与它无缘的人经过，只是梗阻，侮弄恶剧，轻易不肯伤害。岛上石柱竟未为雷火击倒，上又刻有'东溟门户'四字，可知它为关头重地，目下有求于人，如何给它毁去？再者，明娘失陷以后，烟光便不再起，未必便是守岛妖物胆怯，不敢出门；也许明娘与二老无缘，不准前往，只许自己通行，也说不定。为日无多，不能滞留。柬上又有'当机立断，殊途同归'之言，父亲决无失算。明娘如有危难，早已明示，也不会令其同来。何不草草推算一下，明娘如若无害，便即先行，以免两误。”想到这里，便平下心去，默运玄机一算，明娘果然无害，并还似有奇遇，心中大喜。见时候已有耽搁，不敢再留，忙照柬帖上三四两句偈语，把明娘撇下不管，径自往大荒山阴无终岭一路飞去。 飞行了一阵，慧目遥望，最前面无边云雾中，已有大山隐现，知将到达地头。忽见惊涛浩淼中，三三两两现出好些岛屿，远近不一，正挡去路。有的烟雾弥漫，分明有埋伏。鉴于前失，又料卢妪所设神屏天堑就在前面不远，愈发小心戒备。一面暗用法宝、飞剑防护，一面正取灵符施为，猛瞥见身前里许，有一道极长虹影一闪即逝。不等硬闯，晃眼遁光飞过，并无梗阻。料知卢妪好胜，恐神屏禁制难阻来人，反失声威，已先知趣撤去。照此情形，前途精怪更难阻挡，必可通行无疑。霞儿刚把灵符收去，脚底大小岛屿也越飞近。正留神观察间，倏地狂风大作，阴霾四合，海水山立，白浪滔天，上下四外，更有无数冷雹漫空打来，当时天地混沌，形势甚是险恶。这类妖怪，俱奉主人所遣，已将到达。因不肯伤害，便将手中禹鼎一指，鼎中九首龙身的怪物立发怒啸，随着一片金光霞彩飞舞而出。那禹鼎本是水怪克星，霞儿虽无伤害之念，未将阴阳两道光华放出，物各有制，那些埋伏岛上的精怪已然胆战心惊，望影而逃。随着雾散烟消，一时俱尽，重返清明。前面本有两处最厉害的精怪，卢妪法令又严，来人到此，只许败逃，不许不战而退，所过之处，依然兴风作浪，群起相犯。霞儿见此情形，又觉方才所料不像，匆匆不暇寻思，就此忽略过去。仍用前法，全被禹鼎吓退，纷纷遁回海底，逃窜不迭。沿途未为耽延，只略费了几次手，便把所有难关一齐飞渡。本来先过南星原，因想卢妪与父亲还有一面之识，一则求她似乎较易，二则明娘如有机缘，必来此地，正与殊途同归之言相合。先往无终岭求借到法宝，归途再往南星原，恰又符了三四两句偈语。便不在就近登岸，环山而驶，先往无终岭绕去。 初意昔年父亲曾访枯竹老人，均未肯见，借宝之事，必最艰难。及至赶到山阴一看，那无终岭乃大荒山阴最高寒的所在，穷阴凝闭，上有万年不消的积雪坚冰，云迷雾涌，亘古不开。适自数千里外所见，天边浓云密雾，便是此岭。双方素无渊源，对方又住在这等荒寒阴森之地，心性乖僻，不通人情，可想而知。心方疑虑，哪知事情大出意料。枯竹老人住在半岭山坳之中，地图草率，只有简略途向，并不详细。那岭又高又大，岔道甚多，歧路纵横，上下密布，到处都是危崖幽谷。最奇的是外观大同小异，全差不多，内里却是移步换形，形态奇诡，险峻幽深，穷极变化，无一雷同。使人置身其间，神眩目迷，无所适从。尤其老人所居，更是曲折隐秘，多细心的人也难找到。霞儿又首次到达，见岭上径路回环，暗忖：“这洪荒以来，亘古未辟的东荒岭，怎会有这些天然山径？”心中奇怪。正待上去，忽听脚底不远有人唤道：“小姑娘，岭上乃东天青帝之子巨木神君宫阙，冒犯不得。你虽不至于到顶上去，照你这样走法，难保不误越灵境禁地。就是你能够脱身，何苦怄这闲气呢？此外全岭只我一人，自来无人寻我，我也不肯见人。境物又极荒寒，那神君比我还怪，无可游观之处；就有，你也去不得。幸我刚睡醒回来，怜你这好资质，故以好意相告。如是无心经此，年轻人一时好奇，意欲登临，或是误信人言，间关来此，有所希图，这两样，全办不到。最好听我的话，回去吧。” 霞儿听那语声柔嫩，说得又慢，宛如两三岁婴儿。乍听甚近，细一听，竟听不出相隔多远，语气却极老到。知道此山只枯竹老人一人在此隐居，那青帝之子，更是闻所未闻，料无他人。闻声立即停步，侧耳恭听。听完才躬身答道：“赐教的可是枯竹老仙么？”那婴儿口音好似奇怪，微“咦”了一声，问道：“你是何人，难道是来寻我的么？”霞儿暗忖：“久闻大荒二老最善前知，三万里内事，略运玄机，了如指掌。就说父亲行法隐秘，颠倒五行，也只隐得前半一段。自己连越卢妪所设关口，连与水怪争斗，怎会不知来意？当是明知故问。”心中寻思，随答道：“弟子乃峨眉山凝碧崖齐真人之女霞儿，奉家父母之命，远越辽海，专诚拜谒，敬乞老仙指示去仙府的途径，以便趋前拜见，实为感谢。”说完，对方停了一停，忽笑答道：“你是齐漱溟道友的令爱么？我因生性疏懒，隐此千余年，总共看过四次外人。每一入定，至少便是二十四年。最多时，还有把两三次并在一起，借着入定，到人间走上一遭的。遇到这等入定时，便和死了一般，什么也不知道。所以三十年前，令尊三次访我，正值我寄神人世，均未得晤。在我实是不知，在他人却必道我夜郎自大，有意倨傲了。 “我那次到人间去，也因劫数将临，欲往人间多积善功，以谋挽盖。去时，以为我身外有三十六根神竹禁制，外设天玑迷阵，外人万难侵入害我法身。再者，素少交游，向来无人寻我，决可无害。可是临行之时，一占算，竟然有人来此，我这一切防备，并阻他不住。明有应劫的克星到来，却又吉凶不能前定，大是忧疑，非有此行，又不能借以免祸，为难了一阵。继想与其在彼等候劫数，倒不如宁失去这千余年修炼的法身，留得元神，再世仍可成道。两害相权取其轻，没奈何，只得仍是神游，转向人世。等我修完外功，重回故土，看见壁上留书，再一推算，那来应劫的克星竟是令尊。如换旁人，他为迷阵所隔，算不出主人行径，三次不见，疑我有心拒绝，必定为难，决不善罢。我那神竹禁制，与法体休戚存亡，息息相关。何况身侧又有几件宝物，易启外人觊觎。等他看出底细，我那法体已为所坏，无法挽救了。尤可怕的是，别人即使因我不见，心怀忿恨，强欲闯入，想破我那迷阵禁制，也未必有此法力。惟独令尊已尽得长眉真人真传，破我禁法并非不能。当时吉凶祸福，系于来人一念转移之间。我又行时疏忽，忘在阵外留下谢客入定告白，端的危急。事后想起，还自心惊。 “因我以前性小好胜，阵法阴险，步步设伏。又因防护法身念切，行法太狠，只要误入阵地，立蹈危机，就当时不死，也被困在阵内，非我功成归来，不能脱身。另外又设有颠倒迷踪之法，外人休想看破。令尊只知我隐居避地，不肯见人，没料到行法这么狠。他第三次到时，稍微疏忽，已将埋伏触动，如非法力高强，还几乎受了重伤。头两次在谷外传声相唤，未听回应。这第三次来，见第二次所留书信仍在原处，心疑主人他出，想到谷中查看
