Chapter 1 Death Traces(1/2)
As the sky changed from light to deep, Li Xun and others had stepped out of the polar circle.
At this point, the disciples of each sect can go their separate ways and return to their own sect.
However, for safety reasons, after discussion among the several immortal masters in charge, they finally decided: they would go south for thousands of miles and then separate.
Among this group of monks, except for the five second-generation immortal masters in charge, they are all the top figures among the three generations of disciples of each sect.
Li Xun glanced at him and saw many familiar faces.
I still remember that sixty years ago, when he first arrived at the city of never sleep, he had seen many of them.
But at that time, he was just a child who had been in the art for several years, and was the object of care or kind-hearted teasing of these people; and now, with his rapid progress in cultivation and brilliant achievements over the past few decades, he has become one of the most dazzling people among the people.
At this time, he was talking to Ji Ya, who is in the city of Never Sleeping, and the Xuedao people from Xumiao Sect.
These two are both famous figures in the Tongxuan Realm in recent years. Ji Ya is even more a disciple of the Never Sleeping City. It is equivalent to Wen Hai's status in Mingxin Sword Sect. It may be the choice of the Never Sleeping City Lord in a thousand years later.
At the beginning, the three of them just talked about some Taoist magic and mysterious skills, but as they talked, it turned out to be Li Xun and Tingxue to comfort Ji Ya's suffering in moving to the sect.
From this, the topic turned to the extreme situation. As a disciple of the city who never sleeps, Ji Ya was also first-class in a tenacious mind.
He thanked Li Xun and the others for their kindness and said in a deep voice: "Although the situation is forced to move the sect, it is the most shameful thing in the tens of thousands of years since the establishment of the sect in the city. The disciples of our sect will know their shame before they are brave! Hey, I am afraid that the Dispersed Cultivation Alliance would not have expected that after these sixty years, our sect's elites emerged, and their cultivation has been on the rise for a long time..."
Listening to the snow Taoist praise, "The inheritance of the sect of your sect is a blessing in disguise. Moreover, this time, your sect took the initiative to retreat, and its strength was not damaged, and all the magical artifacts of the sect were moved out, which was a strategy of retreating as an advance. However, the chaos in the Yamatian sky was full of chaos, and it would not take long before the light of the city that never sleeps will appear in the world."
Li Xun was naturally echoing, but was reminded by Ji Ya and had a thought.
As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a weapon without carving. After the sixty years of the wicked man sleeping soundly in front of the bed, the knowledge and mind of the disciples of the city who never sleeps have really improved a lot...
Just as he was thinking, there was a wind in his ear, and there was one more person beside him. He looked up and the figure in his eyes made him slightly stunned.
"Luo Yuji?"
At this time, Luo Yuji did not show any rude appearance, but instead treated Li Xun and the other two in a regular manner.
It seems that Ji Ya, who had heard that Xue had dealt with her before, responded with smiles. Li Xun was surprised and appropriately looked like he met for the first time, keeping a little distance and responding with courtesy.
Luo Yuji came up directly and said generously: "This is the famous Taoist Brother Lingzhu? We were rare in the past!"
Li Xun didn't know what this girl was doing, so he could only smile and said, "It's really rare, but I often hear from Senior Sister Luo's name. Especially for Senior Sister, it's amazing that she can tell the story of the Haiyutian Feng Sword inherited from Master Luo and open a new chapter."
It would be fine if everything else, but his praise scratched Luo Yuji's itchy spot, which made her look different immediately when she was surprised.
You should know that although this unruly woman has a bad relationship, she is not incompetent. Otherwise, with Luo Qichang's deep mind, how could she tolerate a useless daughter?
After being humiliated by the hundreds of ghosts, she worked hard and with the help of Luo Qichang, she transformed this vast and majestic Haiyu Tianfeng Sword into her own sword technique. After hard practice, her cultivation was outstanding among the younger disciples.
Li Xun knew her background well, and this just right praise really worked. The unruly woman's temperament naturally became more restrained.
Her eyes flashed and she smiled and said, "It's not as good as the Qingyanzhu Shadow Sword created by Master Zhong Yin. He is something I have always admired... And Brother Lingzhu, you, have been suppressing that hundred ghost Taoist so hard that I can't raise my head over the years, which really makes me admire you!"
Li Xun said lightly, and understood the reason why this rude woman was so courteous. He suppressed the absurdity in his heart, glanced at him, and saw Ji Ya. Tingxue smiled and distanced them. While smiling bitterly in his heart, he also answered with a gentle voice.
"Senior Sister Luo has been awarded the award. The Taoist priest of the hundred ghosts is clever and cunning. How easy is it to suppress him? Although I have the intention to eliminate evil, I can only strive to maintain an invincible situation for decades!"
"That's amazing, not like me..."
After saying a while, Luo Yuji felt that she was speechless and her face turned red.
But what surprised Li Xun was that she just stopped and then admitted: "Unlike me, I have encountered a lot of times when I met that guy, and I have suffered a loss. Well, Brother Lingzhu, I want to ask you..."
Li Xun laughed silently and said, "So you want to ask me, how to deal with the hundred ghost Taoist people?"
Luo Yuji seemed to grit her teeth secretly, but still nodded to admit it.
Now, Li Xun had to look at this unruly cultivator with admiration.
Can plan at any cost and let go of your pride and ask for advice. Even though you are a little more impetuous, who can explain the future as time goes by?
Because of this, he cannot deal with it rashly.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "The hundred ghosts are always meticulous, and the methods they use are often born from the situation. There is no fixed number. When I face him, I often have a headache. If I talk about it in general, it will probably be of no effect."
Luo Yuji was a little disappointed, but soon her eyes lit up.
"Then let me change my question. Brother Dao, once in Tianzhu Mountain, I surrounded several fellow disciples, and even asked Uncle Dongyang for help to set up many mechanisms..."
Fortunately, she was able to speak out the so-called "encirclement" with graciousness, and Li Xun immediately understood which time she was talking about.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, this little girl remembered the situation so clearly. Even the mountains, terrain, the weather, and even the direction of the relevant veins were clearly explained, which made Li Xun, the person involved, shocked.
However, after hearing what she said, Li Xun felt very strange.
In addition to the sense of dislocation of identity, looking at one's own way of doing things from the perspective of others is another wonderful experience.
This way, from Luo Yuji's perspective, combined with her response method at that time...
What an opportunity to check and correct yourself!
Li Xun completely eliminated the idea of "leaving one hand" in an instant, and at this moment, Luo Yuji humbly asked for advice: "Brother Dao, how did the hundred ghosts escape under such circumstances?"
Li Xun took a deep breath, made a serious discussion, and smiled and said, "I dare not ask for advice. However, I am bluntly, some of Sister Luo's actions were still worth discussing, such as when the earth's veins were intercepted..."
According to what Luo Yuji said, he pointed out the flaws in it casually, and used an analytical and guessing tone. It is estimated that the hundreds of ghosts were certainly indifferent to ten.
This also points out what kind of thinking the hundred ghosts used to deduce, and uses a blind spot of Luo Yuji. After a few words, Luo Yuji's face turned from confusion to surprise, and then turned into a deep admiration.
"Brother Lingzhu's methods are probably not as good as those hundred ghosts..."
Luo Yuji was completely convinced.
Next, Li Xun's response to Bai Gui made her so happy that she almost gave her a fragrant kiss to express her gratitude.
She is not a fool, so she can naturally see the value of the method Li Xun said.
She seemed to her every word Li Xun was at the key point, and the key points of the hundred ghosts were stuck everywhere. It can be imagined that if the hundred ghosts were still the same idea as before, and according to Li Xun's idea, she would definitely give that guy a good look!
Luo Yuji was very excited, and Li Xun's heart was also ups and downs.
This was the first time he looked at himself from this relatively objective perspective. After suddenly awakening from his overall thinking that day, it was not until now that he truly broke through the confused he had fallen into in the past. The benefits of future practice cannot be planned.
Unfortunately, this situation is destined to be impossible for a long time. After analyzing two specific examples for Luo Yuji, it was time for each sect to separate.
The Mingxin Sword Sect is in the east and the Three Emperors Sword Sect is in the south and the two of them naturally cannot continue to talk. Luo Yuji still looked unsatisfied when she heard it. The strong disappointment fell into the eyes of others, and she didn't know what kind of association it would cause.
Shortly after walking in separate ways, Ling@ came up with a smile, trying to make fun of what had just happened. Li Xun glanced at him and said with a righteous expression: "Senior Brother Ling@, you are here just right. I have something to discuss with you..."
With a low "wow", Li Xun emerged from the sea. He reached out to a piece of ice and hid in its shadow and breathed out.
Around me, the Yin San appeared silently without any indication.
A few miles away, a few casual cultivators were fighting together, with sword energy and strong wind whistling. Li Xun automatically filtered it, just lit up his eyes and looked at the sun.
Li Xun had been around the Beihai for two days. In order to avoid unnecessary variables, he waited until the last wave of men, made by Master Tianzhi, evacuated the city without sleeping, and then he sneaked in deeply.
At this moment, the vast area with the ever-sleeping city as the center, thousands of miles of vast areas are shrouded in a blurred fog, as if a colorful light rain has begun.
However, even a master of the seven demons in the universe would not easily go inside to "being wet from the rain" - the terrible effect of melting the true breath and forcing the vitality to disperse. After all, it is not a vegetarian.
Therefore, Li Xun had to deliberately avoid the city of never sleep, and after a big circle, he went from the northwest to **.
Without the clamping of the city never sleeping, many casual cultivators and demons in the polar regions almost started to have a carnival, with hundreds of sword lights passing through the sky without any scruples.
Almost half an hour after the entire city retreated, tens of thousands of casual cultivators and demons had doubled their original sphere of influence. At the same time, the scope of chaos also expanded.
And all this has nothing to do with Li Xun.
He first looked at the sky light, then looked at the night sky that was only dozens of miles away. The strong contrast between light and dark made him a little dazzled.
Shaking his head, Li Xun took a breath and dived down again.
Compared to the noisy on the sea, the seabed is simply another world. Groups of fish and many strange creatures are wandering among the sea water and rocks, and are not affected by the chaos at all.
However, Li Xun did not dare to be careless because he knew very well that no one came to disturb him under the sea.
After the establishment of the free cultivator alliance, the bottom of the North Sea became the palace of the old Kunpeng monster. This old monster occasionally recovered its Dharma body that had a long history of thousands of miles, stirred up wind and waves in the sea, and relaxed its muscles and bones.
In this situation, how many people dare to risk angering this old monster and fight at the bottom of the sea?
Li Xun saw this right, and at the same time he knew that the old demon Kunpeng liked coldness, and in the eastern part of the North Sea, there were several natural ice eyes, which were Kunpeng's favorite place to live. Relatively speaking, the west was rarely visited, and if he wanted to sneak in silently, only this one was the safest.
Even at the bottom of the sea, Li Xun could feel that the sky was falling rapidly. The sea water at the same depth had only been moving forward for more than ten miles, and there was no trace of light. The most conspicuous one was the eyes of the scattered people around him, which were as bright as the morning stars.
The two followed the water flow and avoided several small restrictions near the shore. After confirming that there was no one around, they were ready to turn over to the shore.
Li Xun held the ice edge on the shore and only supported half of his body. A whistling cold wind blew by, and the fine ice particles hit his face.
Li Xun spat, spit out the ice chips in his mouth, and looked at them with his eyes.
In the world where the cold wind whistles, ice and snow are flying all over the sky, appearing and disappearing in this vast darkness. Welcome to visit the Boiling Literature and look into the distance. Under the dark background, there is a cold accumulation at the extreme, and the dark blue that penetrates into the depths of the soul.
Looking at this kind of scenery, it makes people feel that all the internal organs have frozen, and all the breathing is cold. This is not the first time Li Xun has seen this kind of scenery. To this day, it is the fourth time that he has stepped on this ice field, and this is only this time, he has entered without warning.
"This place is not too far from Frost Wind Valley, but how far is Frost Wind Valley from the Fusion Garden?"
Frost and Wind Valley was the place where Li Xun settled in the Yamatian several times before, and Xinyuan was the sect of Miaohua Sect.
He once heard Lin Wuyou say that to go to Xinyuan, Frost and Wind Valley is a must-pass path. However, Li Xun has not had the chance to go further.
He could only touch his chin, turned his head and asked, "Have you been here before?"
A very subtle curve was drawn on the Yinsanren's lips. In a sense, she was the right corner of this trip.
She naturally knew the true meaning of Li Xun's question. She nodded slightly and whispered: "If you want to go to Xinyuan, it is best to pass through Frost and Wind Valley. Only by passing through there can you avoid the invasion of cold poison from the high altitude. Otherwise, even if the cold poison cannot hurt people, you will be exhausted all the way, after going through tens of thousands of miles, you will be exhausted when you arrive at Xinyuan!"
