The crescent moon hung lonely in the sky, and the cold stars were sparse in the dark night.
A black shadow came roaring from the sky, passing over the sky of the towering Yongzhou City, and flew towards the mountains thirty miles away in the south.
Approaching the mountains, the black shadow began to slow down, slowly hovering on the mountainside, at the entrance of a stolen cave.
"It seems that I am the first to arrive."
Chu Yuanzhen looked around and did not see any members of the Tiandihui, so he landed lightly, sat cross-legged on a huge rock with a sword in his arms, and waited silently.
After half an hour, Chu Yuanzhen's ears moved slightly and heard a slight earthquake.
He looked to the left and saw a figure soaring into the sky, leaping into the sky, and then smashing down heavily, landing with a bang.
It was Hengyuan, a burly monk wearing a green robe.
Because the crude monks, like warriors, could not fly in the clouds or with swords, and the short-term flying could not support long-distance travel, so he ran all the way here.
Running hundreds of miles in one night fully demonstrated the super endurance of the monks. .
"Master Hengyuan, it seems that you are not far from Yongzhou." Chu Yuanzhen smiled.
"Amitabha!" Hengyuan put his hands together:
"Master Chu has a strong breath and has made progress in cultivation. Has he reached the threshold of the third rank?"
Chu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment and said frankly:
"If it is just a combat power that matches the third rank, then I can become extraordinary within three months.
"But my path has great sequelae. I have extraordinary combat power, but I don't have the lifespan of an extraordinary strongman. Therefore, I try to settle down again, not to make a breakthrough, and seek a more perfect path. "
Terrible..... Hengyuan silently commented in his heart.
He knew that Chu Yuanzhen took martial arts as his foundation and practiced the sword art of the human sect, which made his path very strange, neither martial arts nor Taoism.
If you must force a classification, Chu Yuanzhen is already a sword cultivator!
"Why not make a breakthrough first, and then try to complete the practice method after entering the extraordinary level. Perhaps, Mr. Chu can create a new system." Hengyuan said.
After standing at a certain height, it is easier to reverse the practice system than to try to explore and create a new system when you are weak.
Chu Yuanzhen touched his chin and said:
"Since you are talking about this, there is something that I find quite strange.
"Among the major systems in the world, Daozun is the master of the Taoist system. Although Wu Shen created the wizard system, there are many Taoist shadows in the wizard system's spells.
"From this, it can be inferred that Wu Shen also practiced Taoism first, and after entering the high level, he took a different approach and created the wizard system. "
Hengyuan nodded and continued the topic:
"Martial arts have existed since ancient times. Gu techniques originated from Gu gods, and sorcerers were born from wizards. Only Confucianism and Buddhism were created from scratch."
The magic of Confucianism and Buddhism is very different from other systems and has no similarities.
Chu Yuanzhen held the sword horizontally in front of his knees, touched the sword spine, and corrected:
"Master Hengyuan, what I want to say is that among the major systems today, only the founder of the sorcerer system, the first generation of supervisors, can be sure that he has explored the sorcerer system step by step from the humble period.
"He is the most unreasonable of all the founders of the system."
Although the first generation came from the wizard system, he followed Emperor Gaozu to fight in the war, and was still humble, so he did not have the qualifications to take a high-level view.
"I also tried to explore a new way of practice. It is because of this that I can truly understand the amazing talent and unreasonableness of the first generation of supervisors.
"I really want to know how he created the sorcerer system back then. "
Chu Yuanzhen said with emotion.
While chatting, the two turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the northeast.
In the dark night, a black shadow came flying on a sword, whistling like the wind, and slashed towards the mountainside obliquely.
The person on the sword ridge was covered with light armor, wearing a scarlet cloak, holding a silver spear in his hand, and tied a high ponytail, looking heroic.
Li Miaozhen restored the outfit she wore when she was suppressing bandits in Yunzhou, a heroic female general.
Red-robed female general!
........
Sitianjian, bedroom.
Xu Qian'an opened his eyes, stretched out his right hand from the quilt, and flicked his finger.
"Shh! "
The candle lit up in response, emitting a dim light.
He retracted his hand and pinched Mu Nanzhi's soft yet elastic peach buttocks. The sleeping flower god didn't notice it.
Xu Qian'an took out the fragments of the Earth Book, summoned the pagoda, and released Bai Ji.
"You stay here with her, I'm going out to do something."
Xu Qian'an patted the fox cub's head and ordered.
Bai Ji stood on the edge of the bed, looking at Mu Nanzhi's back with her black eyes, and snorted:
"You have no spine! "
She had clearly agreed not to pay attention to him, but Xu Yinluo kept pestering her, kissing and hugging her, so she half-heartedly gave in.
She even pretended to lie down on the bed, saying that she was going to rest and not to be disturbed.
Isn't it obvious that she wanted to sleep with him?
"Aunt, you are spineless..." Bai Ji threw herself beside Mu Nanzhi, waved her little paws and gave her a set of turtle punches.
Mu Nanzhi was sleeping very deeply, so she couldn't hear her protest.
Xu Qian'an dressed neatly and said:
"I'm going to Yongzhou. There is a fierce battle to fight today. You stay well in the Sitianjian. If you have free time, go for a walk in the city, or go to Xu's house for a visit. "
But don't expose our relationship, or you will be beaten by Lingyue and Auntie......Xu Qian'an turned into a shadow and disappeared.
As soon as he left, Mu Nanzhi woke up immediately, knocked Bai Ji on the head, and said angrily:
"What do you know? Auntie is punishing him, making him serve me and make up for his mistakes."
Bai Ji stared at the flower god without a bracelet.
.......
Li Miaozhen jumped off the sword ridge, looked around, and knew that only Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhen were here.
"Brother Chu, Master Hengyuan!"
She didn't salute, but clasped her fists.
After the three greeted each other, they waited patiently. In less than half a minute, a clear light shone not far from here, and Li Lingsu and Yang Qianhuan came.
"Hey, they are over there! "
With a little sense, Li Lingsu easily located the position of Chu Yuanzhen and the other two.
The place he located was the place where he went to the tomb with "Xu Qian" that day, and Miao Youfang and the national teacher were also with him at that time.
This was a distance away from the thief's mouth located by Chu Yuanzhen and Hengyuan.
Yang Qianhuan wore a silk veil and stepped on it. The two disappeared immediately and then appeared in front of Li Miaozhen and the other two.
"I'll bring a strong reinforcement to the Tiandihui. With Brother Yang to scout the battle, we don't have any worries."
Li Lingsu smiled and looked around:
"Hey, Xu Qian'an and Taoist Jinlian didn't come? Taoist Jinlian may be far away, and as for Xu Ningyan, maybe he is still having fun in some woman's bed."
He sat cross-legged with a relaxed attitude, took out a few jars of wine from the fragments of the Earth Book, and said with a smile:
"It's still a long way to the hour of Mao. We have finally gathered together. How can there be no wine? "
Chu Yuanzhen is a wine lover, so he took it with a smile. Master Hengyuan is a martial monk and does not abstain from meat or vegetables.
They lit a bonfire and sat around it to drink.
Only Yang Qianhuan stood not far away, motionless, stubbornly wanting to show everyone an unfathomable back view.
Li Lingsu took a sip of wine and brought up a topic that everyone was interested in:
"Does anyone know the identity of No. 8? Is he a man or a woman?"
"You'll know later!" Li Miaozhen glanced at his senior brother and chuckled:
"Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. If it's a girl, you'd better not have any ideas about her."
Why can you be ambiguous with Xu Qian'an, but rabbits don't eat grass near their nests when it comes to me...... Li Lingsu argued in his heart, he was just curious about the identity of No. 8.
"What a joke, Brother Li has three confidantes around him, and he has fun every night. How can he be the kind of person who has never seen a woman and is impatient. "
Yang Qianhuan, who was not far away, stood up for his brother.
Li Miaozhen and the other two looked at Li Lingsu in unison, and the thoughts that flashed through their minds were:
"As expected of you", "No wonder you want to practice martial arts", "Is Tianzong really practicing the supreme forgetfulness of love?"
.....Li Lingsu laughed dryly:
"I don't know the art of war, nor can I manage the army, so I found a few confidantes who have this talent to help me."
This is simply a weird thing. Xu Ningyan said that the confidantes of the son of Tianzong are all over the Central Plains. I thought it was too exaggerated. Now it seems that it is not exaggerated at all......Chu Yuanzhen's heart is full of complaints.
Li Miaozhen knows what kind of character her senior brother is, and is not surprised at all. She continues the previous topic:
"The cultivation level of number eight should not be too high. "
Master Jinlian would not give the fragment of the Earth Book to a person of too high a rank, as it would neither be valuable for cultivation nor difficult to control, so he chose a person with the potential to become a "lord" in the future.
From this point of view, when No. 8 got the fragment of the Earth Book, his cultivation must not be high, just like other members.
Li Lingsu laughed:
"If he is not at the fourth rank, then he can go back. However, since Master Jinlian did not stop him, it means that No. 8 is still quite powerful."
Chu Yuanzhen agreed with the Son of God:
"At least he must be at the fourth rank to be qualified to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the demons of the Earth Sect.
"If this plan is successfully completed, our promise to Master Jinlian will be fulfilled, and the fragment of the Earth Book will completely become our magic weapon."
Li Miaozhen curled her lips:
"However, this is meaningless. Master Jinlian is getting something for nothing."
As he was talking, the five people present felt something and looked towards the northwest sky.
Under the night, an old Taoist came in the air. Every time he took a step, a lotus condensed with golden light supported his feet, and lotus grew with every step.
When he raised his foot, the lotus would turn into light and dissipate.
"Master Jinlian!"
Li Miaozhen and others greeted loudly.
At the same time, everyone sighed in their hearts: This is the appearance that a super-powerful person should have.
Master Jinlian landed slowly, and there were still golden light fragments floating behind him, which made him look like an immortal and a master.
"Everyone, after half a year of separation, your demeanor is even better than before."
Master Jinlian said with a smile.
I always feel that you are bragging... The members of the Tiandihui flashed this thought in their minds tacitly.
"Master, Xu Ningyan and No. 8 haven't arrived yet."
As soon as Li Lingsu finished speaking, Master Jinlian looked at the shadow distorted by the bonfire under Li Miaozhen's feet and smiled:
"He's here a long time ago."
The shadow suddenly expanded and turned into a dark figure, and then the facial features became clear. It was Xu Qi'an in a gorgeous green robe.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Xu Qi'an smiled and bowed.
Li Miaozhen was startled, looked down at the shadow, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and she said angrily:
"Why are you hiding in my shadow!"
It's better to come out of the shadow of a beautiful girl than the shadow of a rough man...Xu Qian'an turned his head and looked at Yang Qianhuan:
"Senior Brother Yang is here too."
Yang Qianhuan said "hmm" and said in a casual and nonchalant tone:
"I heard that you helped the eldest princess ascend the throne? You did a good job."
I was so envious that I banged my head against the wall...Li Lingsu complained in his heart, then he looked up at the sky and said:
"It's the hour of Mao, why hasn't No. 8 come yet."
Daoist Master Jinlian and Xu Qian'an said at the same time:
"He's here."
As the two people's voices fell, a giant nearly nine feet tall slowly walked out of the dense forest beside them, wearing a red and yellow cassock and a rosary around his neck.
He was ugly, with protruding eyebrows and a sharp look.
Ugly, but also gives people a heroic feeling.
When Li Lingsu saw the figure that was much taller than the average human, he knew that No. 8 could not be the high-quality beauty he imagined, and was a little disappointed.
When No. 8 walked into the range illuminated by the bonfire, Li Lingsu was shocked when he saw his appearance clearly:
"Ashura tribe?!"
When in Yongzhou, Li Lingsu had met Ashura Vajra Dufan, and was more familiar with the Ashura tribe than Li Miaozhen and others.
"A Buddhist?"
Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen and Master Hengyuan were stunned after seeing the cassock worn by No. 8.
Li Lingsu took out the fragment of the Earth Book, raised it, and said:
"No. 8?"
The burly monk also took out a small jade mirror to show his identity.
It really is No. 8...... Li Miaozhen and others no longer held out hope and had no choice but to accept the reality.
To be honest, No. 8 is a Buddhist disciple, which they did not expect.
Nowadays, Buddhism and Dafeng are at loggerheads. Number 8 is actually a Buddhist disciple. I can't tell if he is a friend or foe... Li Miaozhen frowned repeatedly.
Chu Yuanzhen had the same concerns. After hearing Li Lingsu call out that the other party was from the Shura clan, he dispelled the speculation that "maybe he was the same as Master Hengyuan" and determined that the other party was from the Western Regions.
Because only the Western Regions have Shuras.
Based on his trust in Taoist Master Jinlian, he suppressed his concerns in his heart and glanced at other people calmly, and found that everyone had similar concerns.
"Sit down!"
Xu Qian'an waved to Asura.
Asura sat down by the campfire without any hesitation, took the wine jar handed by Xu Qian'an, took a sip, looked around at everyone, and smiled:
"This is the first time I meet you since I came out of retreat. Please take care of me."
Perhaps because of his friendly attitude and gentle conversation style, Li Miaozhen and others were less wary.
Chu Yuanzhen said carefully:
"No. 8, you know the struggle between Dafeng and Buddhism, and you also know the meaning behind the siege of Black Lotus.
"Since you are a disciple of Buddhism, why do you want to participate in this matter?"
Chu Zhuangyuan has always been an open and honest person. He spoke frankly and stated the pros and cons.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Asura said slowly:
"Although I wear monk's clothes and cassocks, I don't think I am a disciple of Buddhism. Everyone present knows the grievances between Buddhism and the Shura clan. "
Hearing this, the members of the Tiandihui were a little embarrassed and sighed. They had revealed the connection between Buddha and Shura King to No. 8.
They made a lot of comments on the chaotic relationship between Shura King, Asura, and the Nine-tailed Sky Fox in Southern Xinjiang.
It was inevitable that they were embarrassed to know that No. 8 was actually a member of the Shura clan.
"That's good! "
After confirming that he was a friend and not an enemy, Li Lingsu picked up the wine jar and said:
"I have dealt with the Shura tribe several times, and you are the most special Shura tribe I have ever seen.
"Shura King Kong Dufan, King Shura, and his youngest son Asura have all become the most devout believers of Buddhism.
"That Dufan King Kong died in Jianzhou, and Asura was suppressed by Xu Qian'an of our Tiandihui one after another.
"Only you have your original heart and are not converted by Buddhism."
The members nodded slightly, thinking that this was the reason why Taoist Jinlian chose No. 8.
Through the observation just now, they can roughly determine that No. 8's cultivation is not high, between the fifth and fourth grades.
But there is indeed something special.
After Li Lingsu finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and asked again:
"By the way, I don't know your name yet."
Asura glanced at everyone, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"Asura!"
