There are bandits in Zhongshan

Ruoye opened her mouth and closed it again, her eyes widened. She is most afraid of being regarded as a fish clan demon cultivator, but at this moment she looks like a fish out of water. In the end, she managed to make a sound, but Just a dry laugh.

"What are you kidding..." she said.

For tens of thousands of years, there have been a few people who have broken through the realm and ascended to the upper realm, but she has never heard of anyone returning from the upper realm.The gods and immortals left this lower realm with Haotian, and there has been no news since then, as if they have never existed, and they can only be found in the legends that are true and false.Even for the merman who has a lifespan of ten thousand years, the once world has already passed away with the elders, leaving only a blurred picture.

Lu Lin said that they came from the upper realm, which is ridiculous.

Ruoye didn't even know how to understand those words. The moment she heard it, she really thought that Lu Lin was joking, but his expression and tone didn't mean to be a joke at all.

He was not one to joke.

"Cultivators can go to the upper realm after crossing the tribulation and breaking the thunder calamity. Why can't we come to the lower realm?" Lu Lin asked rhetorically.

When a monk crosses the catastrophe, he will release a huge amount of spiritual power, causing the celestial phenomena to fall suddenly and thunder. The moment the monk completely escapes from the mortal body of the naked eye during the thunder catastrophe, the soaring spiritual power will temporarily break through the barrier separating the upper and lower worlds, making the already A monk with the body of a fairy can ascend to the upper world.

"But, but..." Ruoye stammered, but for a while, he didn't even know what to say first.

Indeed, as Lu Lin said, since the monks in the lower realm can break through the heavy barrier, the monks in the upper realm have stronger power, so it should be easier to break through the barrier.Suddenly, what she saw and heard in Haotian Temple came to her mind, her eyes were fixed, and everything seemed to be explained, but there was a layer of veil, which made it difficult for her to see the whole picture, " 2000 years ago, what happened..."

More than 2000 years ago, the priests of the Huozheng tribe observed the changes in the world, causing some members of the tribe to leave. At the same time, the elders of the Yuzu tribe also felt the change. The defense suddenly became much stricter. Later, she followed Mu Yun to Yunzhong City, and after hearing about the Sea of ​​Sumeru, she realized that the anomaly that the elders perceived back then should be the abnormality on Nine Yi Mountain.

That was a long time ago, if she hadn't realized that Changli might be related to the city destroyed by the tribe at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain, she would never have thought of the commotion that made the tribe panic for a long time.At that time in the Haotian Temple, she wanted to ask whether Changli knew the inside story of 2000 years ago, but she was planned by the earthquake before it had time, and she never had the chance to ask again.

But although she had expected that Changli was related to the mutation more than 2000 years ago, she did not expect that Lu Lin and Zhong Mingzhu were also involved, even more closely related than anyone else.

Only in this way, many things can make sense.

Both Lu Lin and Zhong Mingzhu suddenly appeared more than 2000 years ago. Before that, the two of them had no sign of existence in this world.

Yunzhong City and Kunwu City have been feuding for many years, and they tried their best to find Lu Lin's weakness, but they still found nothing.The earliest thing that can be traced back is that he went to Kunwu Mountain alone to quell the thunderstorm on the top of the mountain, and then stopped abruptly. Zhong Mingzhu appeared in front of everyone when Kunwu City was besieged. As if they came out of the mist, they showed great strength when they appeared, but no one knew their origins, and even the most well-informed people in the world couldn't tell where they came from.

They all know the scriptures, even more proficient than Ruoye, and they can understand the obscure spells behind the Eight Desolation Mirror. Even in the Mermaid Clan, only some elders can do it.

Ruoye thought it was because they came from other tribes of gods, but after careful consideration, he felt that this idea was untenable.No matter how mysterious a tribe is, there are traces to be found after all. For example, the Huozheng clan who lived in seclusion in the ice field for generations and the sharks who lived far away in the deep sea of ​​the East Pole have never been in the world for tens of thousands of years, so there is no trace of existence in this world.The past of Lu Lin and Zhong Mingzhu is really blank, and there is not even a trace of clues to be found.

She took a step back unconsciously, and murmured: "You, what are you guys? Could it be the gods of the upper world?" There was an imperceptible awe in her voice, and then, she saw Lu Lin's purple eyes , suddenly remembered the legend told by the elders of the clan a long time ago, and a chill suddenly appeared behind him.

Legend has it that Chong Xiao is invincible not only because of the sword in his hand, but also because he is a disaster from the heavens. He is an immortal born from a mortal. He should have black hair and black eyes, but he When he came out holding the sword, his eyes had already turned purple, and the place he passed was full of ferocity, and those gods who died under the heavy sword had blood and bones piled up like a mountain, infected by evil spirits, and the blood and bones condensed into human shapes, all of which were purple eyes , but without self-awareness, driven by Chongxiao to slaughter the world, he is called undead, also known as demon.

The Ruoye family is descended from the branch of the Mermaid clan that guards the Eight Desolation Mirror, and their ancestors did not participate in the bloody battle, so she has always been skeptical about those stories. ", and finally belatedly remembered the legend that he once thought was nonsense, and the awe in his words suddenly turned into fear, and said: "What is your relationship with Chongxiao?"

Lu Lin saw all the changes in her emotions, so he just smiled and said, "Identity? No one has ever given us an identity." He looked into the distance, and his voice sank: "Mount Sumeru is the blood and bones of the gods. One side is Chaos, the other side is the Nine Heavens, and the highest point is the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb. When I was born, the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb had stood on the top of the mountain for tens of thousands of years."

"Tiandi Mausoleum..." Ruoye read these three words, with an unbelievable look in her eyes, "Could it be Tiandi Haotian?" Tiandi Mausoleum means that Haotian is dead, but in her impression, Haotian Calming the calamity of heaven and saving this world that was about to be overthrown, he is an omnipotent god whose power can be equal to the sky, so how can he die?

"Do you think that he went to the upper realm to be worshiped by thousands of people?" Lu Lin's voice suddenly became more sarcasm, "The upper realm is not some paradise. With the erosion of the upper realm bit by bit, if he hadn't isolated the two realms, the less powerful creatures in the lower realm would have been wiped out."

Ruoye had seen countless times the monks in the lower realms used all kinds of means to ascend to ascension. She subconsciously felt that it was far better there than in the lower realms, which was why so many monks rushed forward. After hearing what Lu Lin said, she didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing the confusion on her face, Lu Lin continued: "I heard that this lower realm was supposed to be an abandoned child, but Haotian put all his eggs in one basket and would rather use up all his strength to fight against the Dao..."

He spoke slowly, as if he was talking about something unimportant, but the more Ruoye heard it, the more startled he became. Many of his previous cognitions were subverted in just a few moments.

Heaven and earth were born in chaos, and after a long time, when they are about to return to chaos, Haotian obtained the sword of Heaven's Mandate to refine the way of heaven. People in later generations will say that day's mantra came to save the world, but they don't know that what the mantra said is to build the Nine Heavens Empress Abandon this land and let it return to chaos.Abandoning the weak creatures, only immortals above the catastrophe can survive, and enjoy eternal peace in the Nine Heavens.

Haotian left An Ning to the lower realm.

"After reaching the upper realm, Haotian piled up the blood and bones of the dead gods into a mountain to block evil spirits and evil spirits. That is Mount Sumeru. He also turned his blood and bones into a tomb on the top of the mountain." Lu Lin's voice was calm, listening Out of joy and anger, "After his death, new creatures appeared on the side of Mount Sumeru near the chaos. The ancient gods were born in the heaven and earth, and returned to the heaven and earth. Our birth method is similar to the gods, and we also have the bones and blood of gods, but Unlike the gods on the other side of Mount Sumeru, perhaps because we were attacked by evil spirits, we are more bloodthirsty and warlike, and we are incompatible with the Nine Heavens, so we don't know what we are."

"Are you, besides you and Zhong Mingzhu, are there any other clansmen?" Ruoye asked softly.

"Clan people?" Lu Lin smiled faintly, "She and I come from different bloodlines and have different strengths, so we cannot be considered a clan. The same is true for other people on Mount Sumeru. We just live in the same place."

"What about the others?"

"I don't know, there are only a few of them. I haven't heard anything else since I came to the lower realm. Either I'm still in the lower realm, or I'm dead." Lu Lin said indifferently, "I and her are because of being killed by the Emperor of Heaven. Asylum, it was a lucky escape."

"Why does the Mausoleum of the Heavenly Emperor protect you alone?"

Lu Lin said: "It's not that we are alone in protecting us, it's just because we were nearby at that time. I heard that the emperor's sword Zhuoguang is enshrined in the Mausoleum of the Emperor of Heaven. There are many coveted people for tens of thousands of years. Beheading, I wanted to find out, but when I reached the mountainside, I found someone else in the way, that is Zhong Mingzhu." He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the situation of that day, "She wants to see it just like me. Look how powerful that Emperor Sword is. When I saw me, I made a bet to see who could get closer, but for some reason, when we reached the top of the mountain, we found that there was no sword energy at all, and we quickly entered the mausoleum , but before reaching the deepest point, the ground under our feet suddenly collapsed. When we wake up, we are here, and although our strength has decayed badly, we survived anyway.”

"Attenuation?" Ruoye's eyes widened again.

"You don't think that this is all the power of the upper realm." Lu Lin sneered, "The spiritual power here is far better than that of the outside world. Compared with the upper realm, it is not worth mentioning. Zhong Mingzhuhua and I It took a long time to get used to such thin spiritual power."

Ruoye looked at him suspiciously, and then asked, "Then why did you fall into the lower realm?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that Lu Lin's face was a little colder, and his voice was a little deeper, faintly tinged with bloodthirsty, "Why did we fall into the lower realm? For thousands of years, we have been looking for the answer. Without Yu Yuan and Wu Hui, I'm afraid we are still helpless now, and when the time comes, I will remember to thank them."

Haotian opened up the three realms with the sword power of the way of heaven, and then used the power of the gods to set the rules for maintaining the world with his own will.Everything in the lower realm obeys his laws, and the so-called way of heaven for all beings in the lower realm is no exception.The real way of heaven is neither good nor evil, it is nothingness, and at the same time it is all things, how can it form a bond with people.

In order to curb the spread of chaos, Haotian intends to draw all his spiritual power to the upper realm. Although the monks from the lower realm can open the passage to the upper realm, it is absolutely impossible to do otherwise.Even if the gap can be torn open, the moment one enters the lower realm, the body will collapse due to being unable to withstand the thin spiritual power of the lower realm, and the power will instantly overflow into the sky and the earth.

At that time, Lu Lin and Zhong Mingzhu were in the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, so they were lucky enough to survive.

"Then Changli, what is she?" Ruoye hesitated, "She looks exactly like Zhuoguang."

Lu Lin's eyes darkened, and he said, "She—"

It's just that before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a figure who rushed to her. It was Baili Ningqing. She held the silver gun and tapped the tip of the gun lightly. It seemed that there was no threat. However, both Lu Lin and Ruoye You can see the compelling aura in it.She only needs to lift her hand lightly, and the gun will mercilessly penetrate the enemy's body.

"Let's catch up on the old days later." She said with a serious face, "Someone is coming, it seems to be Yu Yuan's people."

Lu Lin sneered coldly: "That would save effort." He raised his hand, and the longbow on his back instantly turned into a chain whip and wrapped around his arm, surrounded by lightning, exuding a murderous aura, he glanced at Ruoye, Said: "If you have a chance, maybe you can ask Changli himself directly."

After saying that, his figure flashed, and he was already in the distance in an instant.

"If it was in the past, I would definitely not want to come to the Sea of ​​Sumeru with them." Baili Ningqing sighed.

"You already knew their origins?" Ruoye looked at her curiously.

"I'd rather not know, but luckily I'm tight-lipped." Baili Ningqing smiled coolly, "Don't worry about being silenced."

Ruoye let out an "oh" when she heard the words, and there was a flash of worry in her eyes. The current situation is much more complicated than she expected. Although she managed to maintain a calm face, her heart was already in chaos.

If what Lu Lin said is true, then what leads to the top of the Sumeru Sea is most likely a chaos eroded by evil spirits and evil spirits. No matter what method Yu Yuan wants to break through the boundary and ascend, once the upper and lower boundaries here are connected , it is very likely to lead to the consequences of Chaos invasion. If this is the case, the current lower realm will definitely be difficult to resist.

She couldn't help thinking: How crazy they are.

In Yanyue City, Mu Yun played with a few jade documents in his hand, and looked out of the window from time to time, his face full of anxiety.

The jade documents came from Ye Chenzhou and her subordinates who had been stationed everywhere.The eyes and ears of Zhenbao Pavilion found Ye Lianxi's whereabouts near Nanming Villa, and sent a letter to ask her what to do next. Unwilling to belong to his power, once he clears those obstacles, her situation will be precarious.Only by using Ye Lianxi to restrain Ye Chenzhou can she breathe a little.

She should calm down and think about the countermeasures, but in the past few days, apart from reading the news in the jade document over and over again, she has made no progress.

Since Ruoye left, she has been restless, and it has become more and more serious as time passed. No matter how hard she tried these days, she couldn't move her thoughts away from that person.

Every moment, the only thing on my mind is whether that person is safe or not.

"You must be fine." She sighed softly, and when she put away the jade document, she glanced out again, only to see a flash of light flashing across the sky.

It looked a bit like fire, she leaned out suspiciously, trying to see what happened, but there was only a reddish trace on the cloud, which looked like a glow.

Maybe she misunderstood it, she thought, at this moment, there was a breeze blowing behind her, her face darkened, she twisted the magic weapon in her hand, and then slowly turned around.

A solid barrier has been set up outside the room, without her permission, not even a small flying insect can get in, so how could there be something that blows the wind.

But when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

There were already more people in the room, and that person stared at her and said, "Where are they?"

"They went to Jiuyi Mountain, the Sea of ​​Sumeru..." Mu Yun was frightened, and told the truth without even thinking about it. As soon as she finished speaking, the man disappeared.

In front of that person, the enchantment she had painstakingly set up was useless, unable to stop him for a moment.

"You still don't want to?"

An old voice sounded, Chang Li slowly opened his eyes, raised his head, saw Wu Hui's expressionless face, and pain flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you sad? You don't need that kind of emotion." Wu Hui seemed to be able to feel her emotions, and before she could react, she broke her mind with a single word, "You have the mystery of heaven, why do you want to stick to the mundane."

He seems to be asking questions, but also seems to be talking to himself.

Chang Li clenched her hand tightly, and then loosened it quickly and feebly. After a long time, she said softly: "Why... before I was born, were you planning? Why?" There was indescribable tiredness in her voice .

She could clearly perceive the changes in herself. Although she had been resisting for many days, she couldn't stop the sword intent in her body. Now that she saw Wu Hui, she couldn't even feel the anger.

It was replaced by an almost numb feeling, no matter what it was, it couldn't stir up the slightest wave in her heart, she could only force herself to ask, think, and seek a reason, so that she could maintain her consciousness as much as possible and not get lost in nothingness middle.

"You want to know why? If this is your obsession, I can tell you one by one." Wu Hui sat down cross-legged in front of her, a few feet away, with the heavy sword in between, somewhat similar to the situation when he taught swordsmanship back then It's just that the state of mind of the two of them is completely different from the past, "I used to firmly believe in those laws that were instilled in me since I was a child, that the way of heaven is for the public, and that good and evil are rewarded, but later I discovered that those were all self-deception. The orphan I adopted when I passed by Tianyu Mountain, I thought he was talented, so I brought him back to Yunfu Mountain and cultivated him carefully, hoping that he can inherit from me. , can even surpass me..."

But from Jingyu to Yuanying cultivation base, his body suddenly became weak day by day. Wu Hui searched all over the world for panacea, but they couldn't make him better. It happened that the golden-armored monster was making trouble. He killed the monster and took it away for himself I took the inner alchemy and gave it to Jing Yu, hoping that he would recover, but even the inner alchemy that had condensed a thousand years of cultivation was useless. Jing Yu still died, and before he died, he told Wu Hui the secret of his family.

"It is recorded in the scriptures that the way of heaven saves the world, but how innocent he is, why did he end up like this. My uncle comforted me and said that it was God's will, but Yu'er was unwilling before he died, so why not I?" It was clearly painful. In the past, Wu Hui's expression was very calm, even when he mentioned that he was unwilling, his expression did not change at all, "It just so happened that I learned the truth about Jiuyi Mountain from the Cangwu Sword, and thought that since the law of heaven cannot be defied, Let me know this, just let me follow the trend."

Before telling Venerable Guhong, he had seen the remnant soul in the sword once. At that time, what he heard was much more detailed and clear than what Long Tianli and others heard later.

The chance for Master Shui Jing was not to ascend to the Dao, but to be resonated in the spiritual flow, and to know the process of all this happening.

Wu Hui smiled suddenly, Chang Li had never seen him smile before, but at first sight of that smile, he felt chills piercing his bones.

"Yu'er didn't know until his death that the so-called alliance of heaven and law in the lower realm is just a pact with the law established by Haotian. If the three realms return to one, then this law will return to nothing." He wrote lightly, " I have conspired for more than 2000 years, and if the true way of heaven does not allow me, I will stop it, but although I have encountered many twists and turns, I have finally come to this step."

Chang Li frowned, moved his hand with difficulty, but was quickly pulled back to the original place.

Wu Hui glanced at her and said, "Don't waste your efforts, as long as you still refuse that power, you won't be able to escape my control."

Changli was cast with a blood curse when he was born, and the cinnabar mole on his forehead was the mark of the curse, and Wu Hui blended his own blood into it.

The blood curse method is extremely weird, and it is because Longtian Li has been unable to find out the reason for it. She thought it was caused by the ruthless cultivation method, and once wanted to stop it temporarily. Wu Hui was afraid that she would notice the clue, so he forbade her to be with Mu Danxin then went to Tiantai Peak to look towards Changli.

When Zhu Maolin's barrier was broken, the third medium was Chang Li, but no one would have thought that it would be her.With that blood curse, Wu Hui can invade Changli's spiritual consciousness, and even use his own spiritual power. Changli often has headaches because of the invasion of spiritual consciousness. No matter where she is, he will find her——Zhong Mingzhu It is precisely because of this that he is desperate and would rather be misunderstood by Changli than kill Wu Hui.

However, this method also consumes a lot of energy. Not only does it require a lot of energy to maintain it, but half of the injuries suffered by Chang Li will be fed back to Wu Hui.

After Changli was attacked by the three-headed flood dragon in Heishuiling, Wu Hui was also seriously injured, and he escaped with the help of Yuyuan. It's not impossible, the reason to stop at the end stage of transforming gods is to be able to fuse that ray of blood essence with the long-distance blood. More than 300 years ago, the sword energy in Changli's body erupted, and most of his blood essence was wiped out, but the remaining small part was completely contained by the sword energy.

Yu Yuan once asked him if he regretted it.

He just said: "This is the end of the matter."

The matter has come to this point, why do you regret it or not?

"Why me." Changli said with great effort, she saw the Chongxiao Sword, and once again almost couldn't help but wanted to hold the hilt, "Who the hell am I?"

Wu Hui's eyes fell on Chongxiao Sword, and he looked at Changli for a long time before looking back at Changli, but after only one glance, his eyes seemed to pass through her and cast to other places.

He was looking at Chang Li, but it wasn't her.

After a long time, he said softly: "You will remember, you know more than any of us."
