Chapter 20 The Devil's Trace

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on this inconspicuous disciple of Dazhufeng. Tian Buyi looked at Su Ru. Su Ru smiled and nodded.

Everyone in Dazhufeng smiled and gathered around. Lv Daxin patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder again and said with a smile, "Bad boy, I can't see that you are so lucky!"

Zhang Xiaofan grabbed his head, stuck out his tongue, and his heart had changed from surprise at the beginning. Du Bishu, who was beside him, suddenly patted his head regretfully and said, "If I had known who had won this lottery just now, I would have made a bet. Hey hey, it must be a big surprise, kill!"

"Go," Tian Linger spat at him, turned to Zhang Xiaofan and said, "Xiao Fan, it's useless for you to enter the second round anyway. Why don't you sign this to me!"

Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect his senior sister to say something like this. He was stunned for a moment, "Oh" and handed over the note that said "one".

Song Dayen's face changed slightly. He looked around and whispered, "Little sister, don't mess around."

Tian Linger smiled, as gorgeous as a peach blossom, her face was slightly red, stretched out her chopped fingers, gently bounced on Zhang Xiaofan's forehead, and said, "Little fool, I'm joking with you."

Zhang Xiaofan blinked his eyes and laughed.

On the old side, the Taoist priest frowned, and then said loudly, "Okay, since the lottery has been completed, the disciples will come to me later and report their names according to the signature number. Later, they will be posted on the red list, and you will know who your opponent is. Now I'd like to ask the leader to speak.

When the originally noisy disciples heard that the leader Xuan Zhenren was going to come out to speak, they all calmed down. Dao Xuanzhen stood up from his seat, walked slowly to the crowd, glanced at the disciples, and then said, "Gentlemen, you are all the elites of the young generation in my Qingyunmen, and your qualifications and talents are outstanding. In the future, the head of the veins of Qingyunmen, the elders, and even the position of the head of my family are likely to be the best among you.

The disciples of Qingyun shrugged, and many people looked excited.

Dao Xuanzhen showed a kind smile and said, "Of course, if you want to reach this point and sit in the position of the chief elders behind me, you need to redouble your efforts."

Everyone said in unison, "Yes."

Dao Xuan Zhenren covered his long beard, nodded, and said with a straight look, "I am Qingyun. Since the founder of the Qingyunzi sect, I have always been the right path of the famous family, and now I am the leader of the true Tao in the world. Today, the right path is prosperous, demons retreat, and the world enjoys peace. However, the remnants of the devil are dangerous and vicious, and their hearts are not dead. Over the years, it seems that there has been a tendency to be ready to move. At this time, it is even more necessary for us and other people in the right path to hoe, so you must concentrate on practice the Taoism and strengthen your mind. As long as we are strong

The disciples shouted, "I follow the teachings of the leader!"

Dao Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Okay, okay. There is another thing that I would like to announce to you: In order to encourage the disciples of Qingyunmen to work hard and practice, I discussed with your first elders and decided to start with this seven-vein martial arts meeting. Every time after the seven-vein martial arts test, I will give the final winner a small reward.

"Ah!!" A while among Qingyun's disciples.

Dao Xuanzhen looked at these young disciples and smiled, "This time the prize is the 'hexa-in-one mirror'."

"What is it?" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this thing. He couldn't help looking around, but he saw that Tian Linger, Du Bishu and others were also confused, and the other young disciples around him seemed to be not very clear, but disciples who had been introduced for a long time, such as Qi Hao, Song Daren and Wen The excitement and yearning.

At this time, Tian Linger and others also noticed that the eldest brother and others seemed to know something. They leaned over and asked quietly, "Big brother, what is the six-in-one mirror?"

Song Dayen whispered, "The Liuhe Mirror is a magic weapon handed down by the tenth generation of our ancestors. I have never seen the specific appearance, but I have heard the master say before that this is one of the treasures of this family. It is extremely powerful and has a wonderful thing. As long as the caster's spiritual power is strong enough, And stand in an invincible position.

Everyone opened their mouths, and Du Bishu stammered a little, "Well, isn't that invincible?"

Song Dayen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I don't know what it looks like, but the master said it can't be wrong. This time," he glanced at Dao Xuanzhen, lowered his voice, and said, "It seems that the head and the master have spent a lot of blood this time!"

Everyone is a little strange on their faces, and most people seem to be secretly drooling. It seems that the treasure is in the front. Even the monks are inevitably moved.

Dao Xuanzhen paused for a while and smiled to see the young disciples talking about it. After a while, he said, "Well, that's basically the case. You go back and have a rest. Tomorrow morning, the seven-vein martial arts will begin to have a competition."

The disciples of Qingyun saluted together and said in unison, "Yes, the leader is a real person."

Dao Xuanzhen nodded and said, "Go ahead."

The disciples gradually retreated, and there were only the first seven veins of Qingyunmen and more than a dozen elders left in the hall. Dao Xuanzhen turned around and smiled at the elders and said, "Brothers, you should go back early to rest. Starting tomorrow, there will be many games, and you need more effort."

Some of those elders were full of gray hair and wrinkles, but some of them looked young and skillful. At this moment, after listening to Dao Xuan Zhenren's words, they didn't say much, so they went out one by one. In the end, in the Yuqing Hall, there was only the first seat of the seven veins of Qingyunmen

Dao Xuanzhen slowly put away the kind smile he had been hanging on his face, glanced at the other six people sitting in the chair, and said faintly, "Okay, there are only seven of us now."

Shang Zhengliang, the first seat of "Chaoyang Peak" on the right, frowned and said, "Brother Zhangmen, do you have anything to say to us?"

Dao Xuanzhen nodded, expressionless, and said slowly, "I just went to see Lingzun."

As soon as he said this, everyone's face changed.

※※※

Walking down the steps, the disciples were still trembling when they passed by the Bishui Pool, but this time the water unicorn fell asleep peacefully and there was no movement.

After crossing the Hongqiao Bridge and returning to the huge square like a fairyland in the "Sea of Clouds", Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan said a few words, and then went with the disciples of Longshoufeng. Zhang Xiaofan watched him go far away, and then walked back to the crowd of Dazhufeng. Listening to Song Daren say to everyone some precautions and accommodation later, Zhang Xiaofan listened and suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Oh, that's bad!"

Everyone was shocked. Tian Linger stood beside him and said in surprise, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked around and said anxiously, "I just talked to Jingyu, and I forgot Xiaohui. Now I don't know where it has gone?"

Only then did everyone remember that they had never noticed the trace of the gray-haired monkey. At this time, they looked around one after another and saw that the white clouds were indescre, and the disciples of each veins gradually dispersed, but there was no shadow of the monkey's little gray.

Zhang Xiaofan was in a hurry. Since he brought Xiaohui back from the secluded valley two years ago, he lived in the same room with one person and one monkey (later with a big dog rhubarb) in the past two years. He was very deeply emotional. Seeing the peak towering into the clouds, the upper and lower places were incredibly large. Find it?

In a hurry, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly heard Tian Linger on the other side. He turned his head and saw Tian Linger showing a smile. He pointed to the front of him and said with a smile, "Look."

Everyone looked at it and couldn't help laughing. Xiao Hui sat peacefully on the back of the big yellow dog that was not easy to raise in the field, "squeak" in his mouth, waved the monkey's paw to Zhang Xiaofan, and the big yellow dog who ran here closed its mouth tightly and actually bit a meat bone that came from

Not long after, Dahuang ran to Zhang Xiaohui with Xiaohui. Xiaohui jumped on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder three times. Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly touched its monkey's head and pretended to be angry and said, "Where have you been?"

Xiaohui was not afraid. He pointed to the rhubarb lying on the ground and nibbling at the meat bones with a smile. Zhang Xiaofan looked at it for a long time and suddenly said, "Where did this meat bone come from?"

When Xiaohui heard the words, there was another comparison of painting. At the same time, he pointed to the end of the square. Zhang Xiaofan looked at Song Daren and saw that Song Daren quickly looked around. His face was quite embarrassed and funny. He lowered his voice and whispered, "That is the kitchen where the disciples of Changmen eat."

Everyone was stunned, and then they all laughed and shook their heads one after another. Song Daren took the lead to the other side and said, "Let's go to the rest house, by the way, little sister, you are a woman. Do you have any problem with arranging for you to live with Xiaozhufeng's sisters?"

Tian Linger shook her head and smiled, "I originally wanted to talk more with Sister Wen Min, and at the same time, I would like to help you say more good words."

Everyone laughed. Song Dayen blushed and pretended not to hear it. He strode out. Everyone behind him laughed and talked. Zhang Xiaofan, who was walking at the end, did not participate in, but stared at the gray monkey on his shoulder and said, "Dead monkey, you can run to be a thief in the future. Let's see

Xiaohui "squeaked" twice and grinned. I don't know if he didn't understand or didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiaofan's words at all.

Zhang Xiaofan scolded it again, walked forward, took a few steps, remembered something, turned his head and shouted, "Let's go, dead dog, you know how to eat!"

The rhubarb, who lay on the ground and gnawed at the meat bones, finally raised his eyes and saw that everyone had gone far. Then he stood up and picked up half of the meat bones and chased them lazily.

※※※

In the Yuqing Hall, the first seat of the seven veins of Qingyunmen gathered here. At this time, their attention was attracted by Dao Xuanzhen.

The first Tianyun Taoist of "Liaoxiafeng" first stood up and said, "Brother, can you see what happened to Ling Zun just now?"

Dao Xuanzhen sighed and said slowly, "I have examined it carefully. Ling Zun is nothing different."

"What?" The faces of the first seats were full of surprise.

Dao Xuanzhen looked at these fellow brothers and said, "It's true. I've watched it several times. Lingzun is as usual. I really can't figure out why it suddenly had such a lot of anger, but it disappeared so quickly!"

Tian Buyi pondered for a moment and said, "I think the target of Lingzun's attack seems to be a group of young disciples. Is it possible that someone is angry with it?"

The first Shuiyue master of "Xiaozhufeng" said, "It's impossible. If the disciple really offends Ling Zun, how can Ling Zun give up with one blow?"

Shuiyue was quite beautiful, but as soon as she spoke, her voice was cold, as if with a trace of cold air. Tian Buyi looked at her and stopped talking.

Dao Xuan Zhenren shook his head and said, "Ling Zun is an ancient spirit beast, and his nature has been psychic. There has never been such a sudden abnormality for thousands of years, and there must be a reason."

Sitting in the first seat of the "Fenghuifeng" on the left, his temples were frosty and white. Among the seven people in the seat, Uncle Zeng, who was the oldest, often said, "Is it that the leader has a conclusion in his heart?"

Dao Xuanzhen sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm also confused about this. But Ling Zun is the mountain spirit beast of Qingyunmen Town, which is not small. I wanted to find out the 'psychic skill' secretly passed down by this door, but unexpectedly..."

At this point, Dao Xuanzhen suddenly stopped. The people next to him listened to him halfway, and suddenly heard him stop talking. Tian Buyi first asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Dao Xuanzhen's face showed embarrassment and said, "This psychic skill is a side door skill, but I can communicate with Lingzun a little. Unexpectedly, when I was about to use it, Lingzun was already asleep, and I couldn't do it."

Everyone is dumbfounded.

Dao Xuanzhen coughed twice and said with a straight voice, "Don't worry about this matter. When Ling Zun wakes up, we will make a long-term plan. And there is one more thing at the moment, and I want to discuss it with you.

Everyone saw that Dao Xuanzhen's face was serious, as if it was not a trivial matter, they put away their smiles and sat down.

Dao Xuanzhen also sat back in his seat, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Guys, do you know that there is an 'empty mulberry mountain' three thousand miles away from the East?" ( Note 1)

Everyone was stunned, and the Taoist priest first came to his senses and said, "Isn't it the empty mulberry mountain with the 'Ancient Cave of Bats'?"

Dao Xuanzhen nodded and said, "Exactly."

Uncle Zeng often frowned and said, "I heard that the 'hundred-thousand bat cave' is a huge natural cave, which goes straight to the ground and is unfathomable. Among them, it is cold and wet, and only countless bats are born in it. It is said that there are millions of them. How can my brother mention this kind of barren land?

Dao Xuan Zhenren said slowly, "You don't know that although this ten thousand bat cave does not seem to be close to humans and animals, it was an important stronghold of magic religion 800 years ago. The ancient cave is cold and wet, which is just suitable for those demons to practice demonic magic. Later, under the encirclement and control of my righteous people, the evil barrier of the demon religion retreated and left, and this place was abandoned.

Master Shuiyue said coldly and said, "What's the meaning of the head brother mentioning it again at this moment?"

Shuiyue's attitude to Daoxuan can be said to be quite unfriendly, but everyone here knows that Master Shuiyue has always spoken to people like this. Daoxuan Zhenren didn't pay attention to it. He just sighed and said, "Sister Shuiyue doesn't know something. Just half a year ago, I got a biography from Burning the Near the cave, there seemed to be signs of the activity of the remnants of the demon religion, and I asked for my opinion. After thinking about it, I asked Ertu Yi to rush to Kongsang Mountain to check.

As soon as Chaoyang Feng Shang Zhengliang heard this, he smiled and said, "That's good. Xiao Yicai's nephew is talented and has profound practice. He is really the best in Qingyunmen. In the last Seven Vein Conference Martial Arts Examination, he returned. If he goes, what else can't be done?"

Dao Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Brother Shang is too good-known, but Yi just went to Kongsang Mountain. A few months later, a letter came back. Yan Dao did find that there were people in the magic religion moving near the ancient cave of Bats, and their purpose was even more amazing."

Everyone was shocked. Uncle Zeng often said, "What's wrong?"

Dao Xuanzhen's face was calm, and he could not see any joys and sorrows. He said, "According to Yicai's letter, he captured a demonic and forced him to ask from his mouth that the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Grottoes was the headquarters of a branch of the "blood Refining Hall" of the Demon Sect However, after being defeated by my righteous ancestors, he was depressed, and the ancient caves of bats were abandoned. But somehow, in recent years, the blood refining hall, which has been small for a long time, seems to have signs of raising its head, and in the blood refining hall, it is said that in the battle of the ancient cave of ten thousand bats, although the main characters of the blood refining hall were all killed under the sword of our righteous people, in the ancient cave of ten The evil scroll of the demon book has never been found.

Speaking of this, everyone has understood that the Taoist priest Cangsong sneered and said, "The devil is crooked, delusional!"

Dao Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "Whether this rumor is true or not, as far as I know, after the war 800 years ago, the righteous people did not find any secret cave treasure house in the ancient caves. Everything else is fine, but if there is this hidden treasure hole, I'm afraid there will be a big murderous thing in it, but we can't prevent it.

Everyone looked at Dao Xuan, and Tianyun said, "Brother, what kind of murderous thing are you referring to? Is it so important?"

Dao Xuanzhen took a look at the people around him and said in a low voice, "Eat the blood beads!"

Everyone was moved, and the Song Taoist was surprised and said, "Didn't this murder disappear with the death of the black-hearted old man?"

Dao Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "Otherwise, although the black-hearted old man died, the blood-eating beads may not be in the world. It seems that such a big evil thing can't be mastered by idle people. If the demon demon does not practice enough, it is unknown to collect it. Moreover, the black-hearted old man was born in the blood refining hall of the magic religion, so in my speculation, it is likely that the blood-eating beads are in this secret hole.

After listening to Dao Xuan Zhenren's words, they were silent for a moment. For a long time, it was the cold Master Shuiyue and said, "What is the intention of the head brother?"

Daoxuan Zhenren said, "After receiving Yicai's biography, I immediately learned about Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple. Soon, these two sects also replied, saying that they would also send proud disciples to Kongsang Mountain to stop the demon evildo and hoe traitors."

Tian Buyi frowned and said, "The head brother means..."

Daoxuan Zhenren smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this is also a rare opportunity to experience. Although there are many young talents in Qingyunmen, most of them have not gone out to practice, and the world has been stable over the years, and they have never confronted the demons. Taking advantage of this opportunity of the seven-vein martial arts, I plan to send the top four young disciples to Kongsang Mountain together. On the one hand, it can prevent the demons from going backwards, and on the other hand, they can also experience and learn more knowledge. Moreover," he put away his smile and turned serious. He said, "And I've heard that in the past hundred years, there have been several outstanding disciples in Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley. They are talented. If we sit back and ignore it, we are afraid that the position of this righteous leader will be difficult to be guaranteed in the future. If so, I have no face to go to see the ancestors of the generation!"

Everyone nodded together, and the Cangsong Taoist first said, "The head is far-sighted, and it's very true."

Dao Xuan looked at the heads of you and said, "In that case, you have no objection."

Everyone nodded and said yes.

Dao Xuanzhen said, "Okay, that's the decision. In the Yuqing Hall, accommodation has been arranged for your brothers. Please go and have a rest. With that, he clapped his palm three times in a row, and immediately turned to several Taoist boys outside the door. You take the leaders to the room to rest.

The Taoist children answered the voice, and all the heads stood up, saluted the Taoist Xuanzhen, and then followed.

Note 1: From the fourth volume of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Eastern Classic: the first of the second scriptures of the East, it is called the mountain of empty mulberry, facing the water in the north, Juwu in the east, Shaling in the south, and Fengze in the west.
