Qing Yun Hill, TongTian Peak.
The fragrance of tea rose in spirals, emanating from the spotlessly white teacups with green lids, the freshly brewed tea emitted wisps of white steam, drifting in the room. This was a secluded room in the rear hall of Crystal Hall, the current Good Faction's most powerful, most famous three masters, were gathered in this room, leisurely sipping tea and discussing.
The Qing Yun disciples who were serving tea and water, had quietly left, leaving only Reverend DaoXuan, PuHong Master and Yun YiLan in the room. Reverend DaoXuan was the first to speak, smiled and said, "This tea is also our Qing Yun Hill's local specialty, although it is not considered rare but it is considered fragrant and top quality, both of you try it, what do you think?" Yun YiLan put down the teacup in his hand, nodded and said, "The fragrance lingers in the throat, seems to flow from the mouth to the stomach, it is indeed good tea."
Reverend DaoXuan smiled and said, "If Yun senior brother likes it, in the future after this demon beast calamity is over, bring some back to FenXiang Valley." Yun YiLan smiled and nodded, said, "That's great, Reverend you must keep your word." Both of them smiled at each other, PuHong Master instead chanted, Reverend DaoXuan glanced at him, said, "Master what is it?" PuHong Master sighed, said, "Actually this poor monk also knows that facing such a calamity, one must maintain a calm state of mind, only then can one calmly deal with it.
Just that Buddhism is compassionate, once I think of the common people in the world right now in dire straits, I can't help but feel anxious and lost my composure, both of you please forgive me. " Yun YiLan's countenance changed slightly, a glint also flashed past Reverend DaoXuan's eyes but then his face also turned solemn. Looking at PuHong Master, Reverend DaoXuan unhurriedly said, "Master is right, since we call ourselves Good Faction, naturally we should take responsibility for the common people, poor monk was rude just now."
PuHong Master put his palms together and shook his head, quietly said, "What is Reverend saying, just now I did not mean to blame Reverend." Yun YiLan's countenance had already returned to normal, smiled and said, "Alright, alright, both of you are so genteel, isn't it even more unbearable, let's not talk nonsense, quickly talk about the overall situation." Reverend DaoXuan and PuHong Master both smiled, Reverend DaoXuan nodded and said, "Yun senior brother is right. Actually today I invited both of you here to discuss, is indeed because of this demon calamity, there seems to be a strange change. "
"Actually today I invited both of you here to discuss, is indeed because of the demon beasts calamity, there seems to be a strange change." Reverend DaoXuan's face was solemn, said, "A few days ago I sent Xiao YiCai, Lin JingYu and other elite disciples out to investigate the situation of the demon beasts, in the end they just rushed back last night and reported to me something unusual." Master looked at Reverend Daoof Reverend DaoXiLan Li Ling Master, he out and, he, of. Reverend DaoXuan paused for a moment, then said, "According to Yi Cai's report, the numerous demon beasts that attacked Central Plains from the south, had been marching straight to the north, killing along the way.
But recently for some reason, a large number of demon beasts suddenly stopped heading north, one after another heading towards the southwest direction, and the number of demon beasts heading north, seems to be only about forty percent of the original number. " Yun YiLan was silent for a moment, said, "South-west direction, isn't that where the Evil Faction has always been most rampant?" Reverend DaoXuan nodded and said, "That's right, now the Evil Faction is divided into three branches, Wan Du Clan, Ghost King Sect and HeHuan Sect are fighting endlessly. Although we do not know where their headquarters are but from the clues and traces, it should be at the southwest, so that place has always been the Evil Faction's stronghold.
And this time the demon beasts suddenly headed in that direction in large numbers, I wonder what is it for? " PuHong Master frowned and said, "Could it be that the demon beasts have already clashed with the Evil Faction and suffered some losses, so a large number of demon beasts went to support?" Reverend DaoXuan's face was solemn, said, "Currently it is still not clear but if it is so, it would be for the best, the demon beasts and the Evil Faction are both scourges, if they can fight it out, the common people will be fortunate." Yun YiLan suddenly shook his head, said, "Both sect heads, I think it is not that simple." Reverend DaoXuan glanced at him, said, "Oh, please enlighten us, Yun valley master."
Yun YiLan said, "You and I are very clear that the Evil Faction people have always been selfish, to say that they are fighting against the demon beasts for the common people, I think it is impossible …" Reverend DaoXuan and PuHong Master both nodded their heads at the same time, indicating their agreement, Yun YiLan smiled and said, "On the contrary, with my understanding of the Evil Faction, they see that the demon beasts are so powerful now, not to mention being enemies with the demon beasts, even if the demon beasts unintentionally hurt them, I'm afraid they would rather bear it in silence and willingly retreat, and let us Good Faction deal with these vicious demon beasts."
Reverend DaoXuan nodded and said, "That's right, Yun valley master is right but now the demon beasts are indeed heading southwest in large numbers, with valley master's wise opinion, why is that?" Yun YiLan was silent for a moment, in a deep voice said, "Looking at the actions of the demon beasts entering the Central Plains for the past few days, they do not have a specific target, they are all killing along the way, heading all the way north. So this time the sudden change in large numbers, there must be something strange, it should be that the demon beasts near the southwest had suffered a great loss, therefore that evildoer called Beast Deity would mobilize a large number of troops towards the southwest.
But in the southwest direction, other than the Evil Faction people, there are no other powerful figures, so I think, within the Evil Faction, there is some unusual movement? "PuHong Master frowned, said," Unusual movement, what is valley master referring to? "Yun YiLan laughed, said," This, is not something I can know. " PuHong Master could not help but smile, shook his head and said, "After talking for half a day, Yun patron, aren't you saying it in vain?"
For a moment the three of them laughed but after a moment, Reverend DaoXuan said, "Actually from what I see, what Yun senior brother said might not be unreasonable, no matter what, now that the demon beasts are heading southwest in large numbers, the pressure in front of us has also lessened, at least it can buy us some time. Now that the common people are looking forward to us fervently, we also have to do something to let the world see. " Yun YiLan glanced at Reverend DaoXuan, said, "Oh, could it be that Reverend wants us to take advantage of the fact that the demon beasts are not here, to go down the mountain and have a good fight?"
Reverend DaoXuan sternly said, "That's right, to get rid of one more demon beast, the world will suffer less, such a responsibility our Good Faction is naturally duty-bound." PuHong Master quietly chanted, a trace of mockery quietly flashed past Yun YiLan's eyes but then sternly said, "What Reverend said is extremely right, then we will listen to Reverend's arrangement, our FenXiang Valley is willing to be the vanguard." Reverend DaoXuan smiled and said, "With Yun valley master's intention, why worry that the demon beasts will not be defeated!
But over at the southwest, I have pondered for a long time, feel that there is a great mystery in this matter, although we cannot rashly intervene but if we ignore it, it seems not appropriate. " PuHong Master nodded and said, "That's right, old monk also thinks so, after all the demon beasts calamity, scourge to the common people, what exactly is happening in the southwest, we must at least have an idea." Yun YiLan said, "Since it is so, why don't we send a few highly skilled disciples, quietly go over and find out."
Reverend DaoXuan nodded, said, "Alright, it is decided then." At this moment, Yun YiLan seemed to recall something, suddenly said to Reverend DaoXuan, "Oh right, there is one more thing, I would like to ask Reverend for a favour." Reverend DaoXuan was surprised, said, "Yun valley master is too polite, what is it! Just say it? " Yun YiLan smiled and said, "I heard that your esteemed Small Bamboo Valley disciple Lu XueQi has recently been punished to face the wall and reflect on her actions at Small Bamboo Valley Full Moon Platform, after I heard it, I felt really uneasy, and …" He smiled and said, "That wretched disciple of mine these few days has been coming over to beg me, saying that he is not willing to implicate Miss Lu to be punished because of our request. Moreover now that the demon beasts are wreaking havoc on the world, it is the best time to use people, and Miss Lu is also an outstanding disciple of Qing Yun, why don't Reverend give me face and temporarily let Miss Lu be exempted from punishment. "
Reverend DaoXuan sighed, said, "It is all my fault for not disciplining her strictly, let Yun valley master laugh at me." Yun YiLan smiled and said, "What is Reverend saying, it is just my wretched disciple's wishful thinking, and these matters between the younger generation, we might as well not bother about it in the future." After speaking, he laughed out loud. Reverend DaoXuan pondered for a moment, said, "Since Yun valley master is personally pleading for her, I definitely have to give this face. How about this! I will let XueQi come back today, and at the same time choose a few disciples to go with her to the southwest to investigate, it can be considered as redeeming for her crime. "
Yun YiLan revealed a trace of smile, said, "Ah! What a coincidence, I was just thinking of letting my disciple LiXun also go to the southwest to gain experience. "Reverend DaoXuan glanced at him, indifferently said," Then let them go together. "Yun YiLan laughed, cupped his fists and said," Then I will first thank Reverend on behalf of my disciple. " Reverend DaoXuan looked away, picked up the teacup from the table in front of him, slowly took a sip, the expression in his eyes changed, slowly said, "Valley master is too polite." Southwest Venomous Serpent Valley.
This huge valley was surrounded by dense ancient forests. Most of the year, in the early morning and dusk, there would be miasma-like poisonous fog rising from the forest. It was actually the accumulation of poisonous gas from the countless venomous snakes that lived in this valley. Nobody could say for sure why there were so many venomous snakes in this valley, the numbers were so many that they were everywhere on the trees and under the ground. Only in the valley where Wan Du Clan residences were located, because of Wan Du Clan's secret method, these venomous snakes did not dare to come near. And these venomous snakes that covered the mountains and plains also became Wan Du Clan's natural barrier and inexhaustible poison treasure house.
Right now, it was the early morning of the day, in the dense forest of the Venomous Serpent Valley, faint coloured fog could be seen rising indistinctly, it looked like the morning fog at the beginning of the morning but if an ignorant person went near, in a short while he would be poisoned to death by the venomous venom and finally buried in the snake's mouth. And on normal days, other than these venomous snakes guarding the valley, Wan Du Clan disciples would always patrol, guarding against external enemies, just that these few days for some reason, these disciples who were usually on guard did not come out, it seemed like the internal strife in Wan Du Clan had already reached a white-hot stage.
[Pa], a soft sound, a small stone rolled over, on the only path outside the Venomous Serpent Valley, at the same time already dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, jumped twice on the ancient path, rolled into the bushes beside and disappeared. Then, following light footsteps, three tall but strange wild beasts appeared on the path, all had wolf heads but their bodies were the usual tiger and leopard forms, looking extremely strange.
The three beasts looked very cautious, their noses constantly twitching, sniffing something in the air, slowly approaching the Venomous Serpent Valley. And the valley was quiet, as if completely unguarded against the arrival of these three uninvited guests. Suddenly, one of the beasts' wolf head shook, seemed to have discovered something, following which it made a low growl, the other two beasts immediately stopped, looked at the strongest and tallest beast standing in the middle. An ominous glint flashed in the wolf-headed beast's eyes, its nose kept sniffing but it did not walk into the Venomous Serpent Valley, instead it slowly walked towards the dense undergrowth beside the ancient path outside the valley, a faint smell of blood, slowly emanated from the undergrowth.
The beast growled in a low voice, stepped into the undergrowth, looking from the outside, the beast's body kept moving, seemed to be searching for something in the undergrowth. After a while, the undergrowth shook again, that sturdy beast leapt out from the undergrowth, back into the ancient path, and in its mouth, it was biting a strange thing.
That looked like a long whip, also like some monster's tail, the fur on it had already started to rot, its colour dulled, constantly emitting a bloody smell. The other two beasts roared at the same time, clearly shocked and angry, a fierce glint flashing in their eyes. The beast that picked up the tail placed the thing on the ancient path, suddenly raised its head and howled, that sound like a wolf's howl, mournful and sharp, straight to the clouds. The next moment, that beast picked up the tail again, ignoring the other two beasts, its four legs like flying, swiftly ran back, leaving the Venomous Serpent Valley.
And after the two beasts howled a few times, suddenly exerted their strength, dashed into the valley. Entering the valley, the ancient path became even more winding and narrow, moving forward, both sides of the forest were densely covered with thistles and thorns, in it floated a faintly discernible, slightly coloured mist. The monsters charged forward. Looking at the way they were gnashing their teeth, if anyone appeared in front of them at that moment, they would be torn to pieces immediately. The colourful mist gently drifted, gradually gathered in the forest, the two beasts howled again and again, without even looking, dashed straight in. At the start there was nothing unusual but these two beasts for some reason, their howls gradually became softer, running slower and slower, after a while their bodies started to tremble.
Seeming to know something was wrong, the two beasts stopped, turned their heads with difficulty, wanted to leave the forest but before they could take a few steps, they had already collapsed, in an instant blood flowed from the seven orifices on their faces, it looked like they would not survive. In the mountain forest, hissing sounds that made one's hair stand on end rang out at the same time from both near and far. They all surged towards this place, and in less than a moment, countless snake heads appeared from the bushes and treetops. With hissing sounds, poisonous snakes of various sizes crawled over one after another. And just when these venomous snakes were happily fighting for food, suddenly, many of the snakes stopped, raised their heads warily and then turned towards the entrance of the Venomous Serpent Valley.
