Chapter 576: The Depressed Ecstasy
The practitioners who came to Yunji Town each had their own goals.
The middle-aged scholar wanted to ask Jing Jiu to treat his family's illness, since he couldn't do it, he went back naturally.
His back looks calm, but actually desolate.
I don't think he will come here again in the future.
I don't know who is sick in the family, he must have deep affection to come here and leave like this.
Everyone looked at the figure that was fading away, feeling sad and sympathetic.
But after all, they are all cultivators, and this emotion quickly disappeared without a trace. People continued to surround Zhou Yunmu and Lu Jin, asking what happened in the garden.
Zhou Yunmu didn't speak, Lu Jin was very helpless, he had to explain that the real person wouldn't let him speak, so please forgive me.
At this point, everyone had no choice but to get out of the way.
No one noticed that after the figure of the master and apprentice disappeared into the clouds, several practitioners looked at each other and then left quietly.
...
...
The morning light illuminates the turbid water, and the rice fields are covered with winter snow, which is a beautiful scene.
A few years ago, that sword light wiped out all the monsters in the turbid water overnight, and the people on both sides of the strait no longer have to worry, and life is much easier than before.
As the days get better, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha will naturally decrease, and those small mountain temples in the countryside will gradually become less and less popular.
There is an abandoned mountain temple in this mountain. The old tiles are covered with white snow, and the broken walls leak the cold wind. It looks very desolate.
Lu Jin opened his eyes, confirmed that all the medicinal power of the elixir had been turned into real essence, and that his injuries were not serious. He looked out of the temple, feeling a little worried.
"There are no enemies within twenty miles." Zhou Yunmu said, "You should rest for a while."
Lu Jin said: "It's still far from the mountain gate, I don't know what will happen next."
After leaving the Jingyuan in Yunji Town that day, they had encountered three groups of strong practitioners who blocked the road and robbed them.
The first to appear were three casual cultivators, followed by a few evil monsters, and the masked men who appeared at the end might even be righteous masters of the Sandu Sect.
Naturally, what these practitioners want to grab is not money, but what the master and apprentice brought out from the garden.
Everyone watched them walk into the Jingyuan with their own eyes, and they all thought they must have got something.
Whether it's pills or exercises, they must be good things.
If it wasn't for Zhou Yunmu's high level, far exceeding the level of ordinary small sect elders, and Lu Jin's methods were tough enough, it would have been really difficult for them to pass these hurdles. But they didn't lift their vigilance, because after crossing the turbid water, they would gradually leave the range of the Green Mountain Sect, and those truly formidable figures might attack.
The snow on the tiles of the mountain temple suddenly trembled, and then fell down, piling up on the ground like a waterfall.
Zhou Yunmu led Lu Jin out of the temple, looked at the towering tree in the west, and said, "Fellow Taoist, please show up."
Fluttering, dozens of hardy magpies flew out of the tree.
At the same time, a gloomy voice came from the big tree.
"It's not necessary to meet. I'm not interested in pills, nor in exercises. I just want to ask what that person in Jingyuan said to you."
As the gloomy sound spread to the surroundings, dozens of magpies fell to the ground and died.
Hundreds of dead fish floated up in the muddy water below the cliff, and were quickly washed downstream.
Looking at this scene, Lu Jin's expression was slightly terrified, he knew that this evil cultivator was extremely powerful, and he wondered if the master could beat him. However, Zhou Yunmu knew very well that the other party's realm was higher than his own, so he said expressionlessly: "A person like Your Excellency, who actually appeared near Qingshan, isn't he afraid of death?"
"This is far away from Qingshan."
The evil master hiding in the big tree said: "And why would the Qingshan Sect manage the affairs of Yunji Town? You are the people Jingyuan likes, maybe the Qingshan Sect wants you to die, the most important thing is, I just want to know what that person said to you, is this also some kind of crime?"
Lu Jin looked at the big tree and said in a deep voice, "What if we don't talk about it?"
The voice of the evil master became even more sinister: "That... is a crime, I have no choice but to ask you to die."
When the voice fell, the corpses of those magpies that fell between the cliffs suddenly bounced up and exploded into dozens of balls of blood mist in the air.
Dozens of black smoke came out of the blood mist, with an extremely pungent stench and evil spirit, even the clear morning light could not disperse it.
Dozens of strands of black smoke were like ropes, probing toward Zhou Yunmu and Lu Jin with a speed as fast as lightning.
Lu Jin took a few steps forward, his gloomy face was full of solemnity, and dozens of flames appeared from the white Taoist uniform, blocking the black smoke.
Zhou Yunmu stood behind Lu Jin, waving his hands in front of him, a golden light shone from his chest and abdomen, and a villain loomed in between.
In the sound of chirping, those flames were instantly extinguished, and Xuantianzong's most powerful fire technique could only block the opponent for a moment.
But in this short period of time, Zhou Yunmu had already completed the arrangement of Taoism, sprinkled pieces of golden light with the cultivation base of Nascent Soul Stage, and began to fight against the black smoke.
There is a scorching smell everywhere between the cliffs, and the dilapidated mountain temple was quietly turned into ruins under the competition of the two strong men. The black smoke, full of evil spirit and bloody meaning, engulfed the golden light at a speed visible to the naked eye, getting closer and closer to the bodies of Zhou Yunmu and Lu Jin, and it seemed that it would engulf them in a few breaths.
"You take your things and go first." Zhou Yunmu said calmly, without any fear in his eyes.
Lu Jin knew that Master was going to use the Nascent Soul to die with the other party, even if he couldn't, he would buy time for himself, his heart was slightly shaken, but he was ready to leave without hesitation.
Suddenly, a light blue sword light quickly flew over from behind the ruins of the mountain temple, brushed Lu Jin's body, and pierced into the black smoke.
This light blue sword light was obviously extraordinary, with a sharp sword intent, but extremely peaceful, in line with Zhou Yunmu's Taoism, it actually blocked the black smoke immediately.
The realm of the visitor is very strong, maybe not as good as the evil monster in the big tree, but the realm of Zhou Yunmu is about the same.
The evil demon was sure that the person who came was a disciple of Qingshan in the Wilderness Realm, he couldn't help being shocked, thinking that Qingshan was so far away, why did he come so quickly?
The Qingshan disciple in the wandering realm was not his opponent, but he didn't dare to stop any longer, put away the magic weapon, and wanted to leave through the air.
At this time, the sky above the big tree really broke!
More than a dozen sword lights, either cold and harsh or overbearing, descended from the sky!
The realms of those swordsmen are different, some are in the wild state, and some are in the indistinct state, none of them are the opponents of the evil powerhouse.
But when these more than ten sword lights were combined, they revealed unimaginably powerful power!
"Green Mountain Sword Formation!"
The evil master let out a desperate and unwilling cry.
Countless sword cries sounded.
The towering tree disappeared.
Whether it was the remains of winter leaves, bare branches, or bird nests among the branches, they were all reduced to pieces, forming a grave several feet high on the ground.
The corpse of the evil master and the devil baby were also broken into unconscious fragments, scattered in this tomb, and could never be reassembled.
More than ten Qingshan disciples fell between the cliffs.
Zhou Yunmu expressed his gratitude to everyone and reported his identity.
The Qingshan disciple who was the first to draw his sword had a gentle expression and an extraordinary bearing, and said: "Two Wangfeng, pass Nanshan."
Guo Nanshan is the first disciple of Qingshan, and has a great reputation in the practice circle. Zhou Yunmu and Lu Jin naturally know it, and they greeted each other again.
Guo Nanshan looked at Zhou Yunmu, was silent for a while, and finally said without asking any questions, "The road is far and long, two fellow Taoists, take care."
Zhou Yunmu knew what he wanted to ask, and also understood why those Qingshan disciples looked at him strangely, so he smiled and said, "No."
...
...
The turbid water continued to flow eastward, torrenting as usual, as if he had never seen the previous scene, and of course it may have been seen too much.
Guo Nanshan looked at the two figures that disappeared into the distance, and said: "It's really not easy for such a small sect to have a strong Nascent Soul Stage."
Gu Han said: "Maybe they have been in contact with that side for a long time."
Guo Nanshan turned and looked south, silent.
Yunji Town is there.
With Jing Jiu's departure, the sect master's decree was naturally ignored, and Liangwang Peak disciples could finally leave the mountain without having to wait until the Sea Breaking Realm.
In the past few days, the disciples of Liangwang Peak have been patrolling around Tiannan as before.
Consciously or unconsciously, Guo Nanshan focused his attention on the line between Nanhe Prefecture and Zhuoshui.
Again.
Yunji Town is here.
Gu Han naturally understood what his senior brother meant. Looking at the invisible town in the distance, he said annoyedly, "Is it a seclusion to make it known all over the world?"
...
...
Under the cover of clouds and mist, the flowers and trees in the mountain stream are like a fairyland, but the house is still invisible.
The flowers and trees were disturbed by the wind, and the stream was rippling. Zhuo Rusui returned to the courtyard with the boat swallowing sword, and said to Zhao Layue, "It's all right there. Next, go north from the muddy water. As long as they don't pass through Yu County, they should be fine. I have already notified Su Ziye."
Zhao Layue didn't know what Jing Jiu and Na said to the master and apprentice, and said, "Very good."
Gu Qing said: "The results of the investigation by the roller shutter came out. The middle-aged scholar is Cheng Ruqing. He once studied in Yimao Zhai for several years. Later, for some reason, he and his wife entered the East Yi Road and tried double cultivation. As a result, some problems occurred. His wife was seriously ill and it was difficult to cure him. This person should have nothing to do with Taiping."
Zhao Layue said: "The relationship between husband and wife is very good?"
Gu Qing hummed, then said after a while of silence: "His wife is an ordinary person."
The people in the courtyard were silent.
When a monk marries a mortal, there will be a problem that cannot be overcome.
That is, no matter how good your relationship is, you can't grow old in vain.
The middle-aged scholar left Yimao Zhai and took his wife to take the risk of practicing the secret method of Dongyi Dao, but he was reluctant to give up.
"Does Master Uncle know about this?" Zhuo Rusui asked.
Zhao Layue said: "When he saw the medical record, he should have counted it."
Zhuo Rusui said: "The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, how should we arrange it? Do you want to ask him if he wants to eat sea beef from Penglai Island?"
Zhao Layue said: "He's in a bad mood recently, don't bother him."
Zhuo Rusui was a little puzzled, thinking that he lay in a daze on the bamboo chair every day, as expressionless as before, how did you see that he was in a bad mood?
