Chapter 2 Paranormalism

Burning incense valley, secret room.

The quaint screen separated the space of the stone room, and the superior officer in gray stood quietly in place and waited patiently.

After a long time, the old voice of Yun Yilan, the owner of the Incense Valley, came from behind the screen: "I heard that you tracked the nine-tailed sky fox this time. The whereabouts were strange, and at the last moment, you suddenly ordered all the disciples to withdraw. Is there such a matter?"

Shangguan Ce showed a faint sneer at the corners of his mouth. He himself guessed who he heard the "heard" in Yun Yilan's mouth. In the whole incense valley, in addition to himself, only Li Xun, Yun Yilan's beloved disciple, can talk to him here at this moment.

It's just that Shang Guan Ce didn't distinguish anything, but said slowly, "That's good."

Yun Yilan was silent for a moment and said, "So, my brother is very puzzled. Can you ask me to teach me?"

Shang Guan Ce leaned slightly to the screen and said, "I dare not. On the way to track down the nine-tailed fox, I met a person, so I ordered the disciples to turn around immediately and immediately return to the valley to report to my brother.

Yun Yilan's voice was obviously stunned and said, "Who is it that you pay so much attention to your brother?"

Shangguan Ce slowly spit out the word and said, "The lich."

After the screen, there was a sudden silence, and there was no sound for a long time.

Shang Guan Ce stood there patiently, and Yun Yilan's reaction was in his imagination. When he saw the lich that day, he was shocked and not trivial.

I don't know how long it took for Yun Yilan's gentle voice to come from behind the screen: "They finally can't help it."

From Yun Yilan's voice, Shang Guan Ce couldn't tell what the senior brother was thinking at all. It was anxiety and shock, and he couldn't hear it at all. He stared at the screen and then said, "A little more..."

Yun Yilan said "um", but this time it was a little unexpected.

Shang Guan Ce took a deep breath and said, "In the hands of the lich, I have captured two of the sacred artifacts of the five races: the black staff and the bone jade."

"What?" Yun Yilan finally couldn't keep calm and blurted out behind the screen.

Shangguan Ce sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He said, "It should be that the beast demon found a Li wizard from somewhere, and then passed on his 'black fire' magic, and then used it to provoke the Miao and Li clans to fight, so as to snatch the black stick bone jade After that, the Li wizard wanted to rebel against the beast demon, but the beast demon was ready to let the lich kill the man with the 'black fire essence bead' and took back the two sacred weapons.

Yun Yilan snorted coldly and said, "There are still such people who don't know how to live!" After a pause, his voice faintly revealed a little harshness and said, "These sacred artifacts are of great importance. Why don't you do it?"

Shang Guan Ce looked indifferent and said, "When I arrived, the black stick bone jade had fallen into the hands of the lich, and there were dragons beside him."

Yun Yilan was silent for a long time, and then sighed slowly and said, "God's will, God's will! Our century-old plan will be ruined like this!"

The official was silent.

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak.

White clouds are floating, and the fairy spirit is lingering. In this place like a fairyland on earth, the sound of cranes is clear and pleasant, echoing in the sky.

The "Yuqing Hall", which was destroyed by a fierce battle ten years ago, has already been renovated at this time, and it looks like a magnificent atmosphere and a grand scale, which is even better than it was in those years. Dozens of huge red stone pillars support the beams, and the top of the hall is made of yellow glass. In the sun, it is dazzling and brilliant.

In the center of the top of the hall, it is as high as the spire, and the jasper ring is in the shape of a pagoda. From large to small, there are 36 floors from the bottom to the top, and the tip is yellowstone, crystal clear.

The eaves fly out in all directions. The golden dragons are carved in the east, south, west and north, and the colorful phoenixes are carved in the southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast. The golden dragon and phoenixes are all holding glazed wind bells in their mouths, floating with the wind and making a crisp sound

In the crane wind bell, Lu Xueqi in white slowly went up the stone steps in front of the Yuqing Hall.

From time to time, there were several Qingyun disciples who were cleaning the stone steps. When they saw Lu Xueqi, they all nodded and saluted. Among them, one or two young teenagers who had just started and were still light in Taoism were photographed by Lu Xueqi's appearance. After a glance, they didn't dare to look again. They

Lu Xueqi saluted one after another, and her face was as expressionless as usual, and walked towards the towering temple at the end of the stone steps.

Behind him, there was a loud "clap", and a dragon-like sound broke the silence here. Lu Xueqi did not look back. It was the Qingyunmen Town spirit beast water unicorn in the blue water cold pool. She climbed out of the water and went to the shore of the pool to bask in the sun and sleep in.

Everything here is so quiet and harmonious. Who knows that once a teenager came out of here angrily and devoted himself to another dirty and bloody world?

After walking through the long stone steps, Lu Xueqi silently took a look at the tall Yuqing Hall and walked in.

In the grand hall, the light shone through the open windows in all directions, which looked particularly bright and did not feel dark at all. The head of Qingyunmen and Fang, the first person in the right path today, sat on the throne of the main hall with a smile on his face. At the bottom right of his head, there was another person, who was Lu Xueqi's mentor and the first master of Shuiyue in Xiaozhufeng, Qingyunmen.

Lu Xueqi was stunned. She returned from southern Xinjiang this time. Because she was sent by Daoxuan Zhenren, she first went back to Changmen Tongtianfeng to inform Daoxuan Zhenren, and then planned to go back to the mountain to meet Master Shuiyue. Unexpectedly, Master Shuiyue was also in Tongtianfeng. And looking at this Yuqing Hall, there is no one else here except Dao Xuan Zhenren and Master Shuiyue, as if the two of them were waiting for her to come back.

Seeing Lu Xueqi enter the hall, Dao Xuanzhen first smiled kindly. Although Master Shuiyue next to him had always been indifferent, he was naturally different from others, and there was a little love in his eyes.

Lu Xueqi walked up, first saluted Dao Xuanzhen and said, "I've seen the real person in charge."

Then she turned her head and saluted Master Shuiyue, but to this teacher who was like mother and daughter, she spoke more casually and said, "Master, why are you here?"

Dao Xuanzhen laughed and said, "I received the news yesterday that you were going back to the mountain today, so I sent someone to inform your master about the news. And there are just some trivial matters. If you want to talk to your master, just invite her to come over.

Lu Xueqi answered. Master Shuiyue sat aside and looked at her beautiful disciple. She saw that Lu Xueqi's appearance was still as beautiful as usual and had no expression. But somehow, she felt that her face was a little pale.

Master Shuiyue's heart moved secretly, and the two beautiful eyebrows frowned gently without anyone knowing.

Dao Xuanzhen did not have the experience of Master Shuiyue and Lu Xueqi for many years. At present, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with Lu Xueqi. He just smiled and continued, "Xueqi, how is it going to the south of Xinjiang this time to visit Mr. Yun, the owner of the Fragrant Valley?"

Lu Xueqi was silent for a moment, and now she told her experience in southern Xinjiang one by one, but in the middle of the scene of saying goodbye to the ghost in the middle of the night with the ghost, hidden.

Dao Xuan Zhenren and Master Shuiyue sat there without saying a word and slowly listened to Lu Xueqi all the way. Hearing this, Yun Yilan, the owner of the Valley of Incense, still did not show up. Only when Shangguan Ce, Li Xun and others came out to explain, the two of them looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes, but they did not say anything.

Later, when Lu Xueqi said with a blank face about the first battle in the seven miles of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang, Gui Li appeared. At the moment of everyone's fierce battle, Dao Xuanzhen's face suddenly turned cold, while Master Shuiyue seemed to think more. At the same time, he also knew his apprentice's thoughts. He couldn' Speaking of the moment when Gui Li was attacked by Li Xun and hurt by her "divine sword and thunder true secret", although the tone of voice has not changed, the gloomy look in her eyes flashed by.

Master Shuiyue sighed gently in his heart and closed his eyes.

After Lu Xueqi finished speaking, Dao Xuanzhen retreated to stand next to Master Shuiyue, looked at Master Shuiyue, snorted coldly, and said, "Zhang Xiaofan didn't have anyone except him ten years ago, and now he has really raised a tiger."

Master Shuiyue opened his eyes, looked at Lu Xueqi beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and said lightly, "This is all because of fate, and it can't be forced."

Lu Xueqi's face seemed to turn a little white again.

Dao Xuanzhen pondered for a moment and said, "From what Xue Qi just said, this humanitarian practice seems to have made great progress in the past ten years."

Master Shuiyue nodded slowly and said, "Zhang Xiaofan was able to suck the blood of more than a dozen Li soldiers with the power of blood-eating beads in an instant. After being injured by Li Xun, he immediately frustrated him. Even the famous pure yang jade ruler of the incense valley could not resist it. This line is no longer there..." She looked Qi'er and Xiao Yi under your family are inferior.

Lu Xueqi's face was expressionless.

Dao Xuanzhen shook his head slowly. Master Shuiyue was stunned and said, "Why, do you think I read it wrong?"

Dao Xuanzhen sighed and said, "The demon was attacked by Li Xun and injured by the divine sword Yulei Zhenjue. Instead of being killed on the spot, he could fly back. I expected that it must resist the power of the magic sword's true method 'Dafan Prajna' of Tianyin Temple, and then used this Taiji Xuanqing Road to break through the magic force of the magic formula of the magic sword. After rushing to Xueqi, Xueqi said that this person's eyes were like blood, and the blood-eating magic stick was From these terms, he has integrated the true laws of the three families, and the Taoism is so high that he is mostly better than our disciples.

He took a look at Lu Xueqi and said, "It's just that most of the time that he was exhausted and at the end of the crossbow, so he could no longer hurt Xueqi, otherwise Xueqi's magic sword was broken. If there was no power to fight back, it was really extremely dangerous. Xue Qi, this person seems to have integrated the three laws of Buddhism, Taoism and demons into one. Taoism is strange and unpredictable. If you meet this person in the future, be careful.

Lu Xueqi moved the corners of her mouth, holding the fingers of the Tianya Sword, quietly clenched and loosened, and whispered, "Yes."

Master Shuiyue looked at her appearance, sighed in his heart, and suddenly said, "Qier, you have worked hard all the way, so go back to rest first. I still have something to discuss with your master, and I'll go back later.

Lu Xueqi answered and looked at Dao Xuanzhen. Dao Xuanzhen shook his head and smiled, "Look at my memory. I'm really confused. Xue Qi, there is nothing to do here. You can go back to Xiaozhufeng and have a good rest first.

Lu Xueqi came out, first saluted Dao Xuanzhen, and then said to Master Shuiyue, "Master, then I'll go back first."

Master Shuiyue nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Lu Xueqi bowed her head and slowly retreated. After a moment, she disappeared from the sight of Dao Xuan Zhenren and Master Shuiyue.

Dao Xuanzhen pondered for a moment and sighed, "What a Zhang Xiaofan... Alas, it's a pity."

Master Shuiyue said lightly, "The child has become like this, and we can't get rid of it!"

Dao Xuanzhen frowned, and his face suddenly sank. He said, "Sister Shuiyue, what do you mean by this?"

Master Shuiyue looked indifferent, but the tone of his voice did not change at all. He said, "It's meaningless. Zhang Xiaofan abandoned the light and turned to the dark. There is something wrong with us."

Dao Xuanzhen said in a low voice, "Is it because Sister Shuiyue thought that what I did was wrong in those years?"

Shuiyue took a look at Dao Xuanzhen and saw that his face rarely became serious. She sighed and said slowly, "Brother, don't think too much. If it were me, it would be the same as what you did. As I just said, Zhang Xiaofan is the result of his fate, and God's will is like this!"

Dao Xuanzhen was silent for a while, and his face gradually relaxed, but in the hall, the atmosphere seemed to begin to be a little embarrassed. After a while, Dao Xuanzhen said slowly, "You also heard it just now. Xue Qi still didn't see the owner of Yun Yilan Cloud Valley. What do you think?"

Master Shuiyue snorted and said, "The old guy Yun Yilan has always been mysterious and mysterious. I don't know what to do this time. But his practice can't be underestimated. There are no people in southern Xinjiang who can hurt him. So we don't have to worry too much, but..."

Dao Xuanzhen was stunned and said, "What?"

Master Shuiyue looked at Dao Xuanzhen and said, "You didn't send other disciples this time. You only sent Qi'er to the Southern Xinjiang Burning Valley alone, and you didn't discuss it with me in advance!" After saying that, her face suddenly turned cold and she sneered twice.

Dao Xuanzhen frowned and said, "Sister, I told you later, didn't you object?"

Master Shuiyue stood up and said lightly, "Although I don't object, my apprentice has always been strong and persistent. You know, it's better to have some room to do everything."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall without waiting for Dao Xuan Zhenren to speak.

Dao Xuan looked at her back, suddenly shook his head and sighed for a long time.

Huqi Mountain.

Ice Stone Room.

From the ghost king, Qinglong, Youji and others stood in the stone room, next to Gui Li and Xiaobai. In the most secluded corner, Mr. Ghost in black stood alone.

It's just now, but no one has the heart to pay attention to the dark figure. Everyone's spirit is nervously looking at the big wizard standing next to Baguio's ice stone platform.

Gui Li couldn't help but quietly clench his fist. On this occasion, he did not let Xiao Hui follow him. Looking at the aging figure of the great wizard and Baguio's face in the white smoke, he, who had already been determined, began to tremble slightly.

Ten years, ten years of longing, the nightmare that haunts my heart all the time, this hope is in front of us at this moment.

The body of the big wizard shook gently, and the crowd behind him was moved. Gui Li couldn't help taking a step up. Even the ghost king, who had always been calm, twitched the corners of his eyes.

The great wizard turned his head and smiled at the crowd, saying that he was fine, so everyone was relieved.

Just after a night's rest last night, the big wizard I saw today did not seem to look much better than yesterday, but seemed to have a more declining trend. Every wrinkle on his old face went deep, as if he were squeezing his only life.

In the stone room, there is only the heavy gasp of the big wizard.

The ghost king and the ghost Li standing beside him looked at each other and saw the faint anxiety in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, the great wizard stretched out his hand tremblingly. In the direction pointed, it was the "happy bell" held by Baguio's hands.

The golden bell stood between the white hands, flashing with soft light. On the body of the bell, the approaching old hand slowly appeared.

The next moment, the withered hand touched the acacia bell, and everyone in the ice stone room held their breath.

From the tip of the big wizard's finger, a faint blue light slowly lit up, gradually shining, but with the light flashing, the big wizard's face became less lively, like dead ashes.

As if he had heard a call, suddenly, the acacia bell, which had been silent for ten years, burst out a crisp bell and gently echoed.

The ghost king and the ghost suddenly looked excited. The two men couldn't help taking a step forward at the same time. Only a moment later, they woke up at the same time, and then they controlled themselves, but their eyes had been staring at the big wizard's fingers for a long time.

After the crisp bell rang, a layer of golden light slowly appeared on the body of the Hehuan bell. Although it was not bright, almost at the same time as the golden light rose, the big wizard's face suddenly showed a look of laboriousness. In a moment, the coldness suddenly appeared in the ice stone room.

Everyone present changed color almost at the same time. Any of the people who could stand here were master practitioners of Taoism. Almost subconsciously, the ghost king, ghost Li and Xiao Bai floated up.

But just as the cold air expanded in an instant, the original soft golden light on the acacia bell turned into blazing, almost like a tangible fire. A "boom" quickly spread around the stone chamber.

The great wizard was the first to bear the brunt, and his body was already weak. At that time, his whole body was hit in the air by the blazing light, and a mouthful of blood spewed out.

The ghost king's figure was almost like a ghost. He instantly appeared beside the big wizard and caught his body. The ghost appeared in front of him at the same time. The soul-eating magic wand appeared in the air, and a mysterious aura appeared in a blink of an eye, blocking the golden bell blazing light that rushed like a mountain and a sea However, the little white figure appeared beside the icy stone platform. At the beginning of the hand, a white light slowly came down and enveloped the acacia bell.

In a moment, the trembling acacia bell slowly calmed down, the golden blazing light gradually disappeared, and the temperature in the stone chamber returned to its original state.

Everyone looked at the big wizard supported by the ghost king, and saw that by this blow, the big wizard's seven orifices were bleeding. Everyone could see that the old man had reached the edge of dying, leaving only a little residual strength.

In the silence, all the people looked at each other and were speechless.

Until, a gasp and moan broke the dead silence. The great wizard slowly opened his eyes and struggled to stand up straight.

The ghost king was moved and stretched out his hand to help, but the big wizard slowly shook his head. The ghost king nodded silently, turned a trace of admiration in his eyes, and slowly withdrew his hand.

The wizard gasped for a moment, raised his sleeve, slowly wiped off the blood from his mouth, and spoke, but the voice in the words turned out to be extremely hoarse: "The remaining soul of this young lady is indeed in this acacia bell."

Everyone was silent.

The wizard took a deep breath and said, "It's just that this acacia bell is a foreign treasure. Its own spiritual power is like a solid magic array. Although it can protect the young lady's soul, if outsiders want to take it out, they have to break the acacia bell."

As soon as he said this, his body suddenly shook. As soon as he wiped off his bloody mouth, another mouthful of blood spewed out. Gui Li rushed up a few steps, held the old man in his arms, moved the corners of his mouth, and finally couldn't help saying, "Senior, you'd better take a break first."

The wizard took a look at the young man, smiled faintly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget what you promised me that day in Qilidong."

Gui Li was stunned and nodded, "Senior, don't worry!"

The great wizard took a long breath, slowly pushed away the ghost, and turned to the ghost king and others: "Now the plan is to break the spiritual power of the acacia bell, and you can't damage the young lady's soul. I can only put on the 'soul attraction' array in the witchcraft in the southern Xinjiang to see if I can P>

A violent cough interrupted his words, and everyone looked at him speechlessly. Everyone saw that the old man was exhausted. Besides, he wanted to make this "soul attraction". I really don't know if he could hold on until that time.

The ghost king bit his teeth, took a step forward, and hugged the big wizard: "The master has done his best for the little girl, and I am very grateful. You don't have to worry about other things. Just don't worry about casting magic. No matter what the result is, the Ghost King will not let the master down.

The great wizard nodded slowly, with comfort in his eyes. He gasped for a moment and whispered, "Soul attraction is the art of ghosts. It is not appropriate to have too many people present. Please ask Mr. Gui Li and the suzerain to stay for help, and the others will go out for the time being."

The ghost and the ghost king nodded at the same time, and the others did not wait for them to say more and retreated one after another. After a moment, there were only three people left in the ice stone room, the big wizard and the ghost king.

The wizard's face declined, and his body slowly trembled, but he could no longer stand. His body softened and he slowly sat on the ground.
