Fengyunlu

At the end of the vast ocean, the adventure of the two brothers seemed to come to an end. To be honest, no matter how many hardships and obstacles they had experienced, no matter what the reason was, they both had to go to Qingli Palace to find out the truth. This was not only to save face for their master Quan Xinzi, but also for the villagers living nearby, for all living beings in the world, and for the Xuanmen morality they had always believed in. They had to go to Qingli Palace to get to the bottom of it.

However, the two brothers seemed to have lost the energy to go to Qingli Palace. To them, no matter how powerful the Taoism was, if it didn't care about the life and death of all living beings, what was the difference between the Taoism and the so-called magic? They thought that it would be better to break the boundary between good and evil, mix everything together, and concentrate on practicing. Even if only one real Gao Xuan appeared in the end, it would be considered that the Xuanmen Sect lived up to its original true meaning.

The two brothers turned around firmly, with an idea in mind, and decided to go around and see what the Xuanmen was like now. They wanted to find out whether the foundation of the human race was still there as their master said, whether there was still the so-called Xuanmen morality, and whether there was any sect in the world that was truly worthy of the name of Xuanmen.

With this idea in mind, Qingli Palace was naturally no longer their goal. The two brothers made up their minds and chose another direction, heading straight to the world to find the true Xuanmen in their hearts.

In fact, the two brothers were a little extreme and young at the time. They thought about many things impulsively and were easily convinced by one-sided words. They did not consider that there are right and wrong ways in the world and that there are many situations where it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

Just like the incident of the empty city, they only listened to the one-sided words of the passerby, and denied everything about Qingli Palace in their hearts, but did not think deeply about whether the passerby's words were reliable, nor did they consider that the passerby was just an ordinary citizen, how much could he know about the events of that year, and how much was hearsay, or even rumors. Besides, where did the passerby hear these news from? If you think about it carefully, most of what he knows is also heard from others. In this way, the truth of that year may be that someone is making up a rumor.

If what Passerby A said was true, then the melee at the foot of Qingli Palace really hurt the people of the whole city, and even the old, weak, and disabled could not escape. How could the masters of Qingli Palace, who were well versed in Taoism, turn a blind eye to these things and be indifferent to the lives of those people? If this was true, then how could their master, a chores boy who was kicked out of Qingli Palace, have such a strong sense of justice and always help the nearby villagers?

In the end, regardless of whether what Passerby A said was true or false, as long as we go to Qingli Palace to find out, everything will be clear. Besides, if it was really a duel between two masters of good and evil, the power of the magic and Taoism could affect the entire city. How could the masters of Qingli Palace not notice it? After all, with the ability of Emperor Sheng, how could he not know about any evil movement in a mere 200 miles? How could he sit back and do nothing? At least he had to send his disciples to investigate.

Of course, things may not be as we speculated, and the truth may only be known in Shangqing Palace. However, the two brothers were too easy to believe the words of passers-by and ran away to other places so easily.

Along the way, the two brothers ran to the southwest first, considering that there was the South China Sea on the left to the southwest, which led to Cangyun, and the ancient wilderness on the right, and the Boyang Valley, a natural barrier, happened to be the location of the Great Emperor's sect. As for going west, the Yaochi Fairyland in West Kunlun only accepted female disciples, and the two of them had no interest in this. Going further west, the Xumi Palace on Xumi Mountain was full of monks, and the two of them only believed in Taoism and did not take it seriously at all.

In this way, the two brothers first arrived in the South Sea and wandered around for a long time, including Cangyun Sect, Jiufang Water Pavilion and several other sects, asking one by one. In the end, they found that the sects in this place, headed by Cangyun Sect, were indeed worthy of the word "Xuanmen", so they planned to go and become disciples. The first one they went to was Cangyun Sect.

In the ancient Cangyun Sect, the rules for accepting disciples are really unique. Those who want to join the sect must drip their own blood essence on a magical stone called Canglong Stone in front of the Baiyun Hall of Jiuxian Shentang. There is such a legend that if the Canglong Stone feels your blood essence, the blood essence will be sucked into the stone "whoosh". This means that even if you are average in talent, as long as you are kind-hearted, the door of Cangyun Sect will be open to you, and they will teach you everything they know and pass on all the unique skills of the sect to you. However, if the Canglong Stone is not interested in the blood essence, the blood essence will turn into white mist and disappear in an instant. Even if you are gifted and have amazing roots, you will be rejected. Even if you are a royal relative, Cangyun Sect will not show leniency.

There was a pair of brothers who had an incomparable desire for martial arts, so they set out on the mountain road leading to the Cangyun Sect. When they arrived in front of the Canglong Stone, they dripped their blood essence according to the rules, and as a result, two streams of white mist rose from the stone. The master in charge of accepting disciples saw that they had extraordinary qualifications, but rules were rules, so he could only shake his head helplessly. However, Bai Qianyi, who was present at the time, although he was not yet an emperor, was particularly fond of talents. He did not let them leave immediately, but asked them to wait for a while, personally wrote a letter to them, and told them to take the letter to Jianyin Sect to become disciples.

The two brothers were grateful for Bai Qianyi's kindness. They knew that Jianyin Sect was in the far north, so they did not stay in Boyang Valley for long. They went down the mountain directly and began the long journey to the north. The journey was long and difficult. They kept going and finally arrived in the north after several months of trekking.

However, the Northern Frontier was in turmoil, and the Hidden Sword Sect was fighting fiercely with the demon army of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss in the central area. The Great Snow Mountain area near the Netherworld Blood Sea was a must-go place for the two brothers. At that time, the forces of both good and evil gathered there. The Great Snow Mountain was the stronghold of the righteous path, and although there was no major battle for the time being, small frictions and conflicts were still inevitable.

When the two brothers passed by, they inevitably met people from both sides. If they had met the disciples of Jianyin Sect first, their later stories might have been completely different. But fate is such a trick, they first met the disciples of Wanmoyuan Demon Sect. In the magic world, many people claim to be descendants of the Demon Sect, and most of them are branches after the Demon Sect split. Because the Demon Sect and the righteous forces such as the Immortal Sect and the Taoist Sect did not get along in history, these later disciples of the Demon Sect are often classified as evil in the eyes of the world. But this does not mean that they are all bad guys.

The two brothers met Gong Li Jiuhua, the direct disciple of the ancestor of Wanmoyuan Demon Mountain, who was known as the Ninth Generation Demon Child. Although Gong Jiuhua was a disciple of the Demon Sect, he was very polite and broad-minded. Even though the two brothers were not very capable, he did not look down on them.

When Gong Jiuhua's disciples were doing their work, they mistakenly thought that the two brothers were enemies of the righteous path, so they captured them. After careful questioning, they found that they had captured the wrong people. Although the two brothers were from the Xuanmen and were considered righteous, they had nothing to do with the current war. After Gong Jiuhua knew about it, he immediately released them and gave them a token, telling them that if they encountered trouble on the road, they should show this token to ensure smooth passage.

The two brothers were full of admiration for Gong Jiuhua's magnanimity, and they took the token and left. In the following journey, they really had a smooth journey and successfully reached the sphere of influence of the righteous path. There, they met the disciples of the Lingyan Pavilion of the Great Snow Mountain, explained the situation, received guidance, and continued to move forward in the direction of the Hidden Sword Sect.

The two brothers felt that it was not appropriate to become disciples in a war-torn land, so they decided to go through the disputes and head directly to the Jianyin Sect. They believed that once they succeeded in becoming disciples and were assigned by the sect, they would have a legitimate identity when they returned. In addition, they also realized that their cultivation was too low, and staying here would only cause trouble, so it would be more practical to go directly to the Jianyin Sect.

So, the two brothers came to Canshan, took out Bai Qianyi's letter, and explained their purpose to the disciples on duty. They were looking forward to the matter of becoming a disciple, but they didn't expect that the rules of Jianyin Sect for accepting disciples were also very strict. Even with Bai Qianyi's recommendation letter, they still had to find their own natal sword on Jianya. Only in this way could they truly become disciples of Jianyin Sect.

It is said that the Sword Hidden Sect is a mysterious sect with superb sword skills in the martial arts world. All the disciples regard sword training as a lifelong career. Each disciple has found a sword of his own on the Sword Cliff, nourished it with his essence and blood, and made the sword his soul mate. This is not only their pride, but also a symbol of becoming a member of the sect.

It is said that the two brothers Zhu Chunhua and Zhu Chunguang also followed the tradition of the sect and climbed up the Sword Cliff to look for their own swords. After three days of hard searching, they each found a seemingly ordinary but spiritual sword. The change of ownership of these two swords means that they have officially become disciples of the Sword Hidden Sect. Next, they only need to drop three drops of blood on the sword according to the number of heaven, earth and man, so that the sword will recognize the master, and they can officially become disciples of the Sword Hidden Sect and begin to accept the teachings of the Great Emperor Sect.

But at this critical moment, an accident happened. Zhu Chunhua completed the master recognition ceremony before his elder brother Zhu Chunguang, but when Zhu Chunguang was recognizing the master, the demon token on his body suddenly became powerful and sucked away all three drops of his blood. Suddenly, demonic light shone everywhere, black smoke billowed, and Zhu Chunguang was completely wrapped up. This scene shocked everyone present.

At that time, Bo Liangzi was right beside him. Although he was not yet the Qingfeng Emperor, nor the head of the Jianyin Sect, as the head's eldest disciple, he was responsible for guarding the mountain gate. Although he did not participate in the war in front, he never stopped paying attention to the war. He stayed behind in the sect to preside over the overall situation, and many things were communicated with him. In addition, Bo Liangzi also knew the situation of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss. He knew that the Heavenly Demon Order could only be possessed by the direct descendants of the Demon Mountain Patriarch. The fact that the two brothers in front of him actually possessed this order immediately made him suspicious.

The arrival of the two brothers was both sudden and strange. Even with Bai Qianyi's handwritten letter as evidence, Bo Liangzi could not rule out whether they were pawns secretly planted by the evil ways. Moreover, one of them was carrying the Heavenly Demon Order, which undoubtedly showed that they had some connection with the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss, or at least had contact with it.

Bo Liangzi immediately decided to take action. With his heavenly level cultivation, he wanted to capture the two men immediately and ask for clarification before making a decision. However, the Heavenly Demon Order unexpectedly worked. It not only absorbed three drops of Zhu Chunguang's blood, but also accidentally triggered a life-saving method in the Heavenly Demon Order that was sealed by the Demon Mountain Patriarch himself.

This life-saving method was originally reserved for the direct descendants of the Demon Mountain Patriarch to use when they were in great danger. Just three drops of blood can trigger the Demon Mountain Patriarch's Heavenly Demon Evil, making the person holding the order wrapped in evil spirit, and within half a cup of tea, they can reach the Demon Mountain Patriarch's Xuantian Dharma Image.

The power of the Mysterious Heavenly Dharma Image needs no further explanation. The unfathomable power of the Demon Mountain Patriarch has suppressed both the righteous and the evil for many years, making them unable to raise their heads. His Mysterious Heavenly Dharma Image is not something that ordinary people can resist. Therefore, the existence of this life-saving method allows the holder of the order to escape when in danger. Even if they really cannot escape, there are real masters who will stop them, and the holder of the order will eventually die or be captured. At that time, the Demon Order will also be affected, and its spirituality will attract the evil spirits, and the power that will burst out in an instant is comparable to the full-strength attack of the Demon Mountain Patriarch.

Such power was hard to resist even for Bo Liangzi, who was at the Heavenly Rank at that time. Therefore, under the influence of the demon, Zhu Chunguang could not help but use the Mysterious Heavenly Dharma Image. As soon as the Dharma Image of the Demon Mountain Patriarch appeared, the Sword Hidden Sect was shaken immediately, and more than a dozen streams of light from the Remnant Mountain quickly came, each of them was above the Heavenly Rank. They looked at the suddenly appeared Hundred-foot Dharma Image with solemn eyes, turned to look at Bo Liangzi, and then looked at Zhu Chunhua beside him, and saw that he was holding a three-foot green sword in his hand, which looked like jade but not jade, like stone but not stone, and was not black iron and fine steel. They understood that this was the magic weapon obtained by the Sword Hidden Sect when they accepted disciples.

Everyone roughly understood the situation after seeing the scene on the Remnant Mountain. Someone immediately took action and imprisoned Zhu Chunhua's cultivation, preventing him from making any movements. After all, no one knew whether he also had a demon token. Zhu Chunhua was frightened for a moment because it happened so suddenly. He didn't understand why his elder brother, who grew up with him, could release such magical powers. Thinking that the reason might be related to the demon token, he wanted to explain it immediately, but his body was sealed, so he was naturally helpless. However, although he didn't have much experience, his mentality was rare among ordinary people. He knew that Jianyinmen was the leader of the righteous path. Although the incident happened suddenly and the demonic energy was overwhelming, the high-ranking cultivators of Jianyinmen were righteous and would not harm his elder brother's life before finding out the whole story.

Furthermore, although he was not very skilled, he observed that the dozen or so high-ranking cultivators of the Hidden Sword Sect all had solemn expressions when facing his elder brother at this moment, and their eyes did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and even had a hint of fear in their expressions. He understood that even if these people wanted to take action, they might not be able to do anything to his elder brother at this moment.
