At the highest point of Xuankong Mountain, there is a small temple.
Compared with the many magnificent temples halfway up the mountain below.
This small temple looks particularly simple.
Mud walls and wooden pillars are mottled and full of traces of time.
There are only a few monk dormitories, and it seems that they can only accommodate three or five people.
The great elder came here with a solemn expression on his face.
Hand said with great respect: "President, all the elders, Xuanyi has something important to ask for your permission."
Hence, there was no movement in the small temple.
The Great Elder was not unhappy at all, his face was still very respectful, and he waited patiently.
After about half a quarter of an hour, a peaceful voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Then there was a creak, and the door of the small temple opened on its own without any movement in the wind.
The Great Elder bowed respectfully before walking in cautiously.
Finally stopped in a deserted courtyard and waited quietly.
"What's the matter?"
After a long while, the voice slowly came out from nowhere.
At the same time, the great elder felt several invisible eyes falling on him.
He did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly saluted and said: "It's such a master. Not long ago, the temple sent Junior Brother Xuanming and others to Zhongzhou to compete for that unknown opportunity.
But today, the young novice in charge of cleaning the soul tower discovered that the soul lamps of Junior Brother Xuanming and others were all extinguished.
The disciples suspected that they might have perished in the outside world.
This matter is of great importance, and I dare not make my own decision, so I came here to ask the presiding officer and the Supreme Elders what should be done.
Hearing this, the surroundings fell into silence.
But the Great Elder clearly felt that the eyes falling on him were a little heavier.
His face looked as usual, but the pressure in his heart increased little by little.
After a long while, the peaceful voice sounded again.
"Yes, I just calculated that their cause and effect have disappeared, and they are indeed dead."
"Master, can you deduce who killed Junior Brother Xuan Ming and the others?"
The elder became energetic and asked quickly.
「不能，如今外界虽然规则初定，天机明朗了一些，但仍不易推算。
隔着界壁，借助心庙之力，推算玄明他们的因果, It’s already the limit.
And the people who killed Xuan Ming and the others were also very human, and they also had something that blocked the secrets of heaven, which is even harder to estimate. ”
Ping He’s voice was slow and authentic.
It seemed that the death of Xuan Ming and others could not make his mood fluctuate at all.
The great elder was disappointed for a while, but he still said: "Master, in your opinion, the death of Junior Brother Xuanming and the others was caused by the three people from the Holy Mountain, or the people from the other three secret places?
The disciples are worried that there may be a conspiracy against us."
"It's difficult to judge." A calm voice. He said, "Xuanming and the others have brought the Demon-Conquering Vajra and other treasures with them. Logically speaking, few people from the outside world should be able to hurt them.
However, the three holy masters on the Holy Mountain are bound by the Holy Mountain and will not attack at will."
"The most likely ones are the people from the other three secret places?" The great elder asked quickly.
"The secret is unknown, and it's hard to say anything. You should send someone out first to make inquiries before speaking."
"My disciple has asked Junior Brother Xuan Yi to go to Wujian Tower and send people to go out to investigate."
"Also, my Xuankong Mountain has protected Wujian Tower for so long, it's time for them to prove their worth."
"It doesn't matter, they are just a group of gloomy rats who cannot stand on the stage. After some time, they will recognize the reality. You can go down first." Ping He said in a nonchalant voice.
"Yes, disciple, resign."
The great elder felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that the host must have made a decision in his mind.
He did not dare to ask, so he could only answer in a low voice and slowly exited the small temple.
When the great elder left, the small temple returned to calm.
After a long time, Heping's voice said leisurely: "Elders, what do you think of what Xuan Yi said?"
More than ten breaths later, a hoarse voice sounded: "Just wait and see what happens. The most important thing for us now is to consolidate our cultivation and wait for the day when the rules of heaven and earth are completely stabilized.
Be able to overcome the tribulation immediately, condense the golden elixir, and return to the golden elixir realm. At that time, no matter whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it will not be a concern."
"As long as we can recover our cultivation before the immortals in other secret places die, all the opportunities and luck will come to me in Xuankong Mountain."
The other two voices said the same.
"Shan, what the elders said is very true, then we will wait and see what happens, let Xuan Yi and the others play with it first."
said in a gentle voice.
The small temple fell into silence again, and no one spoke for a long time.
When the great elder left the small temple, at the mountain gate at the foot of the suspended mountain, a figure rode the stream of light and flew towards the earth below the mountain.
After a while, he landed in front of a village. He stretched out his hand and the stream of light under his feet quickly shrank and fell into his hand.
That was a small boat made of a green bamboo leaf.
It was Xuan Yi who was ordered to go to the Wujian Building.
"Master Xuan Yi, what kind of wind brought you here to us?"
The way Xuan Yi came over was so ostentatious that the people in the village had already noticed it.
Some people came out immediately and saluted him flatteringly and respectfully.
Hence "No need to talk nonsense, where is your leader? Take me to see him."
Huanyi looked at the greasy fat man in front of him with some disgust and said lightly.
He has always looked down upon these gutter rats who only hide in the dark.
I don’t know why the host chose to protect these things in the first place.
"Our leader is inside, please come with me, Master."
The greasy fat man seemed unaware of Xuan Yi's serious dislike and continued to flatter him.
I saw bones and animal corpses everywhere in the village, which was quite scary and weird.
In the dark rooms around him, there were also many cold eyes peeking in, making Xuan Yi feel very uncomfortable.
"Master Xuan Yi, what's wrong?"
The greasy fat man saw Xuan Yi standing and said quickly.
「Humph!」
Xuan Yi snorted coldly, and the cassock on his body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.
The next moment, muffled screams were heard coming from the dark rooms on both sides.
The face of the greasy fat man changed greatly, and he immediately cursed: "You guys who don't have eyesight, are you able to look directly at Master Xuan Yi? I will deal with you when you come back!"
Hand said that, he turned to Xuan Yi again He nodded and bowed: "Master Xuan Yi, don't argue with these short-sighted things. I will punish them later. Don't delay your important business."
Given his status, it would be enough to give him a little punishment, and he would not be bothered by a group of rats.
After all, he still needs to drive these mice to do things later.
Following the greasy fat man, Xuan Yi finally came to a tall wooden tower.
"Master Xuan Yi, our leader, is waiting for the master inside."
The greasy fat man used his hands as a guide, but he did not go inside.
Huan Yi was not afraid and walked towards the tower.
It's just that he already felt dissatisfied in his heart.
A gloomy rat leader who barely survived under the protection of their Hanging Mountain actually dared to show off in front of him.
If it weren’t for the fact that this group of rats had something to do this time, he would have had an attack immediately.
Enter the tower, Xuan Yi saw a black figure with his back to him, standing with his hands behind his back.
The aura was vague and elusive, making Xuan Yi even unsure whether the person in front of him was real or an illusion.
His heart trembled, knowing that the level of cultivation of the person in front of him was still higher than his.
The black figure is looking at a painting on the wall.
The painting shows a huge black Yaksha holding two forks, like a king in the netherworld, exuding a mysterious and strange aura.
"It is rare for a distinguished guest from heaven to come, and I hope that Master Xuanyi will forgive me without being punished."
The black figure turned around and showed a bright smile to Xuanyi.
"Wuxing, stop talking nonsense, I am here this time because I have something to entrust you with."
Although I feel that the black figure's cultivation level is still higher than his own.
But Xuan Yi still didn't have a good look on him, he just said coldly.
"I wonder what else is going on on the mountain that requires lowly people like us to do it?"
The black figure still said with a smile on his face, as if he didn't care about Xuan Yi's attitude.
"A while ago, my senior brother Xuanming, my senior brother Xuannu, and others led their disciples and some of you from Wujianlou to the outside world to compete for opportunities.
There has been an accident and the whereabouts are unknown.
I need you to send more people out to find out the whereabouts of Senior Brother Xuan Ming and others.
What major events have happened in the outside world in recent days? "
"The whereabouts of Xuan Ming and others are unknown."
The black figure was startled, as if he didn't realize that Xuan Yi came here for such a thing.
In this world, there are still forces that dare to go against Xuankong Mountain?
"Yes, not only Senior Brother Xuanming and the others, but even you Wujianlou disciples who followed them out have no news.
So you don't have to do much when you go out this time, you just need to find out the whereabouts of Senior Brother Xuanming and the others."
The black figure felt awe-struck in his heart.
From Xuan Yi's tone, it seems that Xuan Ming and others are in danger.
He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Don't worry, Master Xuan Yi, I'll arrange the manpower right away."
Xuan Yiyi nodded: "After you choose the person, ask them to wait at the boundary gate, and someone will take them out.
Remember, when you go out on this trip, you must first find out the whereabouts of Senior Brother Xuanming and the others.
Don't do any other unnecessary things, otherwise you will bear the consequences! 》
After saying that, Xuan Yi turned around and walked out of the tower, led by the greasy fat man, and walked out of the village.
It seemed that staying here for even a moment longer would be a kind of blasphemy to him.
Standing in front of the tower, looking at Xuan Yi's leaving figure, there was an inexplicable look in the eyes of the black figure.
Suddenly, a strange figure appeared next to him.
你 complain, this Xuankong Mountain is paying less and less attention to us.
一名小小的炼气小成而已，也敢在我无间楼作威作福，对楼主你不敬。 "
"What can we do if we are under the eaves." The black figure sighed.
"I am a disciple of Xuankong Mountain. Any one of the old monsters on the mountain will crush us to death with just one finger.
Not to mention the way in and out of this world is also in his hands.
If it were you, you would be arrogant."
The strange figure fell into silence.
Because he knew that what the poster said was true.
After a while, he said: "Then, host, what do you think is going on with what Xuan Yi said just now?
Does anyone really dare to attack the people of Xuankong Mountain in this world?
Could it be that they are people from the other three secret places? "
"Who knows, but it is obvious that the drastic changes in the outside world are far beyond our expectations.
Even Xuankong Mountain cannot completely control the situation. This is an opportunity for us. "
The strange figure perked up: "Master, you mean..."
"You will be the one to lead the team when we go out this time. Remember, there is no need to come back in a hurry.
This is a rare opportunity to get information from the outside world. We must seize it.
It’s not too late to come back after investigating the situation in the outside world. 」
The black figure explained.
“Yes, I understand.” The strange figure said respectfully.
「去吧，你自行挑选人选去，选机灵些的。
这或许是我们摆脱悬空山控制的唯一机会了。」
……
对于悬空山秘地中发生的事，陆青一无所知。
At this moment, he is concentrating on activating the power of the Lihuo Cauldron, refining his own prohibition in the gray gourd.
And it has reached the final stage.
As the last ban was struck, the gourd suddenly gave off a burst of gray light.
This gray light is different from the Plague Old Man’s plague gray light that is full of death.
It is full of mysterious atmosphere and has the meaning of encompassing all things and evolving all things.
As the gray light slowly converged, Lihuoding spit out the gourd and fell into Lu Qing's hand.
"This person really has completely mastered the Lihuo Sect's secret weapon refining techniques."
Watching Lu Qing's "fire" refining the gray gourd from the beginning to the end, I am extremely sure that Lu Qing has really obtained the Lihuo Sect's true weapon refining technique.
And he has also mastered a very exquisite state.
In terms of refining techniques alone, it is not inferior even to some of the true disciples of the Lihuo Sect back then.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiaolang, for successfully refining the magic weapon."
Seeing the gourd fall into Lu Qing's hands, "Yan" immediately congratulated.
"It's just a preliminary refinement, it's still far from perfect."
Lu Qing shook his head, with no color on his face.
His current cultivation level is still too weak after all.
Even with the help of the Lihuo Cauldron, it was just a few layers of restraints that could be refined into the gourd.
Hence, this gourd magic weapon is only beginning to take shape.
It is still far away from being fully practiced.
If he wants to continue to perfect the sacrificial refining, he needs to advance further in his cultivation.
However, even if it was just a prototype, Lu Qing felt that the gourd in his hand was extraordinary.
He turned on his ability and looked at the gourd.
