Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu didn't know that Zhang Yuelu had arrived at Wuxu Palace, nor did he know that Zhang Yuelu had deduced a result that was very close to the truth through various clues.

But even if Qi Xuansu knew it, there was nothing he could do. He has no advantage over tens of thousands of martial arts cultivators, so it is impossible for him to leave the "Dayan Spiritual Sword" unused. If he hadn't used the "Dayan Spiritual Sword" to continuously consume Wan Xiuwu's energy and blood, he wouldn't have had such a big advantage in the final close combat.

Of course, if the current Qi Xuansu were to face Wan Xiuwu again, there would be more methods available, and he could eliminate Wan Xiuwu without using the "Dayan Spirit Sword". But if he misses that opportunity, there may not be another chance for Wan Xiuwu to leave Wuxu Palace and become alone.

Therefore, realm cultivation is secondary, the key is opportunity. If Wan Xiuwu had been hiding in Wuxu Palace or acting with others, it would be difficult for Qi Xuansu to have a chance to take action, and he would not be able to sneak into Wuxu Palace to kill people.

After this incident, Yue Liuli was probably on guard. Qi Xuansu would not have another chance to attack Yue Liuli in a short time.

The only good thing is that Qi Xuansu did not make the same mistake as last time this time. He burned Wan Xiuwu's body with "Dragon Eyes Yisan" and also destroyed all the traces he left, leaving Wu Xu The people in the palace lacked a medium and could not trace his traces like Uncle Feng.

At this time, Qi Xuansu had left Beimang Mountain and continued to move towards Longmen Mansion on "Bu Yue".

If he hadn't been delayed for about two days by his experience in the Ghost Country, he would have arrived at Longmen Mansion by now. But even so, Longmen Mansion is getting closer and closer.

Longmen Mansion is known as the "Peony City", maybe Qi Xuansu can catch a peony party.

Between Beimang Mountain and the capital of Longmen Prefecture, there is a county called Beimang County.

Qi Xuansu came here and stayed for one night.

That night, Qi Xuansu once again experienced the dream that had been with him for many years.

Probably because of the second piece of "Xuan Jade", the dream had a new change.

In the dream, Qi Xuansu came to the mountain road of the dark mountain again. Unlike before, this time he knew very well that he was dreaming, so he began to try to explore the boundary of dreams.

Qi Xuansu discovered that there were actually many palaces around the mountain road. The style of the main hall was very different from the buildings in the world today. It was more rough and full of the atmosphere of ancient wilderness. However, these halls were in dilapidated condition, and the various statues around them only had broken limbs.

Qi Xuansu looked down again.

There is a tragic battlefield there, which has completely turned into a world of ice and snow, covered with frost, and countless lifelike ice sculptures still maintain their appearance before death.

There are also many illusory figures standing expressionlessly on the mountain road. Except for the slightly unreal appearance, they are no different from living people. They are densely packed, at least hundreds of them.

These figures have lost all consciousness, like clay puppets. They seem to have encountered some powerful spell, and their souls have been forcibly extracted, while their bodies have been annihilated.

Qi Xuansu tried to explore the surrounding palaces and within this small area. He could only go up the mountain along the path, and he could only come to the fire, the battlefield below, or the tall palace hidden in the darkness. , just an unattainable background.

However, it may be because Qi Xuansu is very awake, or it may be because of the "Xuan Jade of Death". Although he cannot get out, he can clearly see part of the mountain's true appearance through these invisible barriers and the surrounding darkness.

This is a mountain on the verge of disintegration. Nothing can be seen on the mountain road. The wind is light and the clouds are light. But outside the mountain, there are several huge tornadoes and thunders that are continuously destroying the mountain. Some of the mountain has already appeared. It collapsed, but due to some strange force, this part of the mountain did not peel off directly, but remained in its original approximate position.

The reason why it is said to be an approximate location is because there is a huge crack between the two. Maybe you can't see the crack from a very far away place, but if you get close, you will find these cracks that are more than ten feet high at every turn. The crack has become an insurmountable chasm. Of course, the heavenly beings can fly directly over it, but considering the huge wind and thunder pillars outside that can make the mountain fall apart, it is probably very dangerous.

Qi Xuansu's first impression was that it was like a mirror that had been broken into pieces and then forcibly put back together. The broken mirror was difficult to round and the cracks on the mirror surface were difficult to cover.

However, Qi Xuansu quickly overturned his first impression, because he discovered that many small and large gravels remained in the state of cracking and sputtering and solidified in the air, neither falling nor moving, as if time had frozen at this moment.

It was as if the mountain had begun to crumble, and then someone used great supernatural power to freeze everything, keeping it at this moment when it was about to break but not yet. The only exceptions are the mountain road at the foot of Qi Xuansu and the fire on the top of the mountain. The mountain road and the fire are not only unfixed, but also constantly changing, while the places where Qi Xuansu cannot set foot are completely static.

The tornadoes and thunder outside the mountains are alive and moving, but the mountains are dead and still.

Between movement and silence, an extremely strange picture was formed.

However, due to Qi Xuansu's perspective problem in this mountain, he was unable to get a full view, and no matter how much more, he couldn't see it.

Qi Xuansu followed the mountain road to the top of the mountain, where there was still a big fire, leaving only a tall, dark figure with red eyes flashing.

In the darkness behind this figure, there are countless dark shadows about the same height as ordinary people. They put their hands in prayer postures and recited witchcraft prayers.

This time, the tall figure did not look at Qi Xuansu, but turned to look in another direction.

Qi Xuansu followed the gaze of the tall figure.

There, two men were fighting.

They were not afraid of the tornado pillars that connected the sky and the earth. They walked among the lightning beams. Countless frozen gravels were shattered by the aftermath of their fight. The ripples visible to the naked eye spread and even broke the stagnation of part of the mountain. state, causing it to plummet downwards.

One of them kept waving the crescent-shaped sword energy, which fell like rain. The sword energy even temporarily cut off the wind pillar and thunder light.

The other person summoned large swaths of cold flames. At first glance, these flames seemed to have given birth to a human face, and the flame tails were like hair, stacking up and covering the sky.

Sword energy and flames intertwined, filling Qi Xuansu's sight. He could no longer see anything else. He could only see the wind pillar and thunder light from the fleeting gap.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but marvel, what kind of cultivation level is this? I'm afraid that among heavenly beings, he is also the best.

At this moment, the tall figure watching the battle let out a long and long sigh.

The next moment, Qi Xuansu woke up suddenly.

Everything disappeared.

He was still in the guest room of the inn.

Qi Xuansu sat up and waited for himself to wake up completely.

He's not quite sure what this dream represents? When the two were fighting, those wind pillars and lightning had already existed, which meant that the fight between the two did not cause the mountain to fall apart. Isn't this a dream that reveals the origin of the mountain? Is this a dream that foretells the future?

Qi Xuansu thought seriously for a while, but had no clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He left the guest room, exited the inn, then left the county seat and continued to Longmen Mansion.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and everything is revived.

Qi Xuansu's eyes swept across the farmland on both sides of the road, and his mood gradually broadened.

The Wanxiang Taoist Palace does not welcome children who have left to return to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. There is only one exception, that is, those children return to their hometowns in fine clothes and come to the upper palace of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace as quasi-fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priests.

In Qi Xuansu's generation, no one had the honor to become a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest.

Naturally, Qi Xuansu had no chance to return to the Wanxiang Dao Palace, but this time he returned to Longmen Mansion. Even if he could not enter the Wanxiang Dao Palace, just taking a look at it from a distance was a happy thing.

Qi Xuansu rode "Bu Yue" leisurely, and before he knew it, the city of Longmen Mansion finally arrived.

Standing on the wide official road, you can look up and see the towering city walls of Longmenfu City. After all, this was once the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. In terms of scale and regulation, it is actually not inferior to the current Imperial Capital.

Qi Xuansu stood on his horse and watched.

It is such a big city. Although this city is a bit old and a bit old, after the accumulation of time, there is still three parts of wealth and three parts of honor, just like the flower peony in the city that has been blooming for more than a thousand years. One leaf knows autumn, and you can imagine what a glorious scene it must have been like when it was at its peak.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be filled with emotion, and at the same time a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Longmen Mansion, long time no see. How are you doing?
