Spring and Autumn King's Banner

The spring sky clears and thunders!
Such a spectacle is not common!

Although for the people of the small town, it is not that they have never encountered unreasonable celestial phenomena such as clear skies and rain, and the Tengu eclipsing the sun, but since today, there will naturally be more things to talk about after dinner.

But ordinary people don't actually have many explanations or explanations for such strange scenes. They can only try to understand it in the direction people want. For example, clearing and falling rain is a good sign, especially when building construction starts. On that day, if the weather is like this, they will say a few words, "Water brings wealth, fish will help the house, water and fish will bring wealth." This is the best auspicious sign. Another example is when the Tengu eats the sun, every household will hold a rice spoon. Knocking on the rice bowl is intended to scare away the tengu, to restore a peaceful world to the world, etc., etc., each has its own merits.

The poor young man Chu Yuanxiao had nothing to do today, squatting under the old locust tree at the east entrance of the town. When the sound of thunder came from his ears, he was looking up and carefully observing the old bronze bell with mottled marks above his head. Carefully and thoughtfully, at this moment when his attention was distracted by the thunder, before he could turn his head to find the source of the thunder, he was suddenly surprised to find that the words engraved on the bell mouth suddenly changed. There has been a change!
The young man had never read a book, so he did not know what those words were before and what they became after the changes. However, he was still shocked beyond measure. In the past, although he had also discovered that the inscriptions were different every day, but Never before had he watched such a strange scene happen right under his nose like today...

But before the young man could react to such a change, another strange sight came unexpectedly again. Three miles away from the east side of the town, the tall sword mountain called Hidden Dragon's Back appeared without warning. It's all there!The thick layer of clouds that had always shrouded the upper half of Jianfeng Mountain suddenly began to surge and boil after the thunder, and a loud dragon roar resounded through the sky!What followed was a huge and majestic black shadow appearing behind the boiling clouds. From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon. Although its true form was not seen yet, it could be seen from the shadow that covered the sky and the sun. Its size was huge, and it circled back and forth on the sword peak. Wind and thunder gathered around it, like a god coming to the world!

If thunder in the clear sky is just a strange celestial phenomenon, then at this moment, hundreds of households and thousands of people in the town are watching the miracle that suddenly appeared on the east side of the town. Without exception, they were shocked, speechless, and dumbfounded!
At the same time, in the rural school in the small town, the teacher in Qingshan who was sitting in the study quietly flipping through the books looked at the paperweight on the desk suddenly glowing with a mysterious light. Although the light was black, it was not gloomy, but in the light. The entire bookstore was enveloped in a layer of soft ink. The scholar couldn't help but sigh softly, then stood up, picked up the paperweight, stepped out, and disappeared.

When Master Qingshan reappeared, he had already arrived at the Xuannv Lake in the north of the town. After he appeared, the paperweight in his hand suddenly rose with the storm, directly reflecting the light on the entire lake. A layer of ink appeared, and the lake water in the center of the lake slowly began to boil where the ink touched. Although this scene was not as exciting as the accident on the back of the Hidden Dragon in the east of Zhendong, all the immortals with cultivation in the town Everyone in the family felt a huge coercion suddenly appeared in the north of the town. It was exactly the same as the pressure emanating from the huge dragon shadow at the east entrance of the town. It was so majestic and breathtaking!

However, this is still not the end. Almost at the same time, two equally domineering pressures spread from the Jinzhu Mountain in the west of the town and the red maple forest in the south of the town!It was accompanied by two deafening beast roars, one was the roar of a tiger from the west of the town, and the other was the roar of a phoenix from the south of the town!
At this time, the four-color light pillars of green, white, red and black arrived together, like sharp swords across the sky, straight into the sky, covering the entire Yanguan Town in an instant!
At this moment, just like the Confucian scholar in green clothes appeared on the shore of Xuannv Lake, a thin, tall, white-haired old man with wide robes and long sleeves appeared beside the red maple forest in the south of the town, holding a black as ink in his hand. A sharp-edged sword, and a bald stonemason appeared under the golden pillar cliff in the west of the town. In his hand was a string of [-] white jade beads!
As for the closed-eyed old Taoist Priest who was still fighting with Yun Zhongjun, even though he had always been gentle and kind to others, he couldn't help but look a little ugly at this time. After wielding it, the two of them who were in the Northern Spiritual Temple of Zhennan disappeared from the backyard of the Taoist temple together. When they reappeared, they were at the foot of Zhelongbei Mountain, not far from the two tombs standing at the foot of the mountain.

The old Taoist Master's tone was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "A Yin-Yang technique triggered the Yanguan Formation and caused four spirits to appear at the same time. It was shocking and thorough. Yun Zhongjun is really a good trick!"

When the old man standing not far away from the old Taoist priest heard this, his face did not show much joy. Instead, he looked a little solemn and helpless. He turned around and looked around at the four huge beasts surrounding the town. Xing Xuying said slowly and deeply: "If I say that this matter has nothing to do with me, would you believe it?"

The old Taoist priest frowned slightly after hearing this, but said nothing, waiting for the old man's next words.

The old man glanced at the old Taoist priest, and then continued to explain helplessly: "Let's not talk about whether you and I have really reached the point where you can't even notice what I want to do. Just talk about your status as a saint. You know better than me what is going on with this great formation. Do you think that the few moves I just made can create such a great formation? Do you look down upon me, or do you look down upon you, the three religions and the whole family?"

The two of them had already given up. The old Taoist priest could not help but be silent after listening to the old man's explanation. After a moment of reflection, although he still closed his eyes tightly, he still raised his head and looked around. From the four seats, there was a gradual tendency to materialize. He scanned the phantoms one by one, and then suddenly discovered something. These four great formation spirits, who had not really appeared in thousands of years, did not seem to be paying attention to the fighting between the two of them at the moment. And, at the east entrance of the town!

This discovery caused the old Taoist priest's majestic energy to stagnate uncontrollably, and then his face became even more ugly. He said in a cold tone: "It seems that we are all being plotted." Got it!"

……

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the town.

The down-and-out young man was far away from the hustle and bustle for a moment. After a period of dizziness, when he opened his eyes again, what he saw was an aimless white. It was not dazzling or dazzling, and there was no other color. It seemed that even he could not see the white. , the real day is like night!

The young man felt flustered for a moment. He looked around at a loss, confused and confused.

At this moment, a slightly dry voice, which sounded like it had not spoken for a long time, suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the bright white. It had no entity and could not see who was opposite. The young man only felt that he was at this moment. Like being blind, I could only listen to the voice with open ears and said slowly: "Don't panic, you are safe here for the time being."

The young man opened his mouth to speak, but unfortunately he couldn't. The feeling at this moment was even more heart-wrenching than that night when he was at Zhenbei Xuannv Palace when he found that his soul had left his body and looked back at his body with empty eyes. Panic, the body is not there, and it seems that even the soul cannot be seen!

The voice seemed to be able to sense what he was thinking. The voice was still dry, but it seemed to be slowly adapting to this state, and the tone was slowly becoming smoother. "As for who I am, I think you may have some guesses. And what I can tell you clearly is that your expectation is correct. In the terms of ordinary people, I am the copper bell hanging on the old locust tree. In the terms of their practitioners, I am the four heavenly books. one of them."

The voice paused slightly as it spoke, seeming to sense what the young man was thinking, and then spoke again: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't have talked to you so early, or it can be said that I didn't talk to you before." If necessary, I shouldn't let you appear here to face me, but unfortunately, as you can see, some things cannot be described as 'reasonably' or 'should have been'. "

"When your Yanguan Town was first built many years ago, I made a private agreement with an old friend, that is, I would not show up unless necessary, and I would not interfere in what happened here at will, but Today is an exception. Some people have been staring at this place for many years. The layout is precise and every step is planned. From the moment when the young man named Xu climbed onto the back of the Hidden Dragon regardless of dissuasion, or earlier, from the time when you were brought back At the moment of Yanguan Town, this game had already begun, and then step by step it has reached today. With a clever magic hand, the entire Yanguan formation was triggered, with the ultimate goal of forcing me to show up."

When the young man heard this, most of the content still made him a little dizzy. Hou Junchen had accidentally said before that since the founding of Yanguan Town, it is older than [-]% of the Jianghu Immortal Sects in the world. It is comparable to Nearly ten thousand years ago, so long ago, he naturally had no idea who the so-called old friend mentioned opposite was. This copper inscription had been hanging on the old locust tree at the entrance of the town since before he could remember. In his eyes, the bell has always been a copper bell that looks a little special and the inscriptions can change, nothing more.

On the other hand, the young man named Xu who was mentioned opposite had memories of climbing the mountain. When he went to jump into Xuannv Lake because of the Shuixiu Lake incident, he had thought of this incident. It was precisely because of that incident many years ago. The young man surnamed Xu failed to return from the mountain, leaving many disasters in his wake. Only then did the people of the town confirm that the rumors about the mysterious power on the back of the Hidden Dragon were true, and that was why he later took a risk that night at Xuannv Lake. decision, and then saw the huge vertical pupil with a range of more than a hundred feet at the bottom of the lake, and then inexplicably acquired a body of water charm, and was taken away by the Yunlin Sect and given to Han Yuanfu, etc. This series of events .

In the dark world, cause and effect follow each other, just like an immortal guiding the way.

This series of lines just flashed through the young man's mind, and the voice on the other side chuckled softly at this moment and said: "Actually, it's not just the issue of Hidden Dragon's Back and Xuannv Lake. When you were young, you helped the Liu family from Zhenxi. They picked up a whetstone under a golden pillar cliff, and later the Liu family transported it to Liangzhou City for sale together with other stones they recovered, including the sale and purchase between Shuixiu Lake and the Zhu family in the small town. They are all part of the many reasons that have led to today's situation, and a large part of them have something to do with you."

At this moment, the young man finally confirmed that the voice opposite could hear his heart, so he tried to ask in his heart: "Does the fact that I can see the changes in the inscriptions on the clock have anything to do with these things?"

The voice on the other side seemed to hesitate for a moment when facing this question. After a moment of pause, he slowly explained: "It doesn't matter. There are many things that have precursors in my opinion. The reason why some changes are allowed is to allow You have noticed that this is the cause and effect I created with you, and the purpose is for today's scene." This is another mysterious and mysterious statement. The young man has no idea whether these people in the fairy family, including the one in front of him, are human beings or something else. Including things, many things cannot be explained by what he has seen and heard in the past. They are confused and specious.

"So, what happened today?" This question is probably the most useful explanation for the situation at this moment. Chu Yuanxiao still hasn't understood why such a scene suddenly happened.

The voice sighed slightly and said: "I told you before, some people have been staring at this place for a long time. Today's scene triggered the entire seal and led to the appearance of the Four Spirits, including those from the Wufang Pavilion. Some of the unusual movements are actually path-finding moves, just like the first test before the two armies go to war. The purpose is to find out the way here, so as to pave the way for their real actions next."

"Seal, bureau, test, open the way..." Chu Yuanxiao carefully considered certain words in this conversation, so what he will probably talk about next is the real purpose of this salt official formation, right?When Hou Junchen was explaining the Jiazi Agreement in Yanguan Town, he vaguely mentioned something, but it was only a passing mention, saying that in addition to its apparent role in creating cultivation seeds, this place actually has a real purpose, but what is that? What, that sloppy man didn’t say it clearly...

The voice on the other side remained silent for several breaths. The young man guessed that he was hesitating and deciding whether to tell the final answer to the mystery. It was not until a moment later that the voice probably finished thinking and then started. A deconstruction of this whole incident.

The Yanguan Formation fell very early, as Hou Junchen said unintentionally at that time, close to ten thousand years.

Thousands of years ago, the reason why those great saints chose to set up formations here was not for the so-called simple purpose of cultivating cultivation seeds, because to set up such formations to do this would be like killing a chicken with a knife. , in terms of profit and loss, it is actually not cost-effective at all. If this matter had not happened back then, there might not only be three twelve realms in the nine continents of the world today. Such a top-notch combat power would be far from creating a few A person with extraordinary talent and cultivation seeds can compete with him, but he can't make ends meet.

The real answer to this secret is related to the ancient war between the five tribes. It also happened on the day of Xuannv Lake. The storyteller Lu Chunjue once mentioned some peripheral matters while filming the story of Gavel Tree, but the real inside story has always been It is a secret that is kept secret among the few immortal sects including the three sects and one family. This secret has been kept for as many years as Yanguan Town has existed.

When the war between the five clans of humans, gods, monsters and devils finally ended, the last human emperor who was still missing at the time came to the battle. He chose to spare no effort and go all out to kill the demon king with the first sword. , the second sword seriously injured the Ghost King, and then isolated the entire eighteen tribes of demons in a small world called "Yunmengze" connected by dozens of square caves, heaven and paradise, and finally sealed the Tianmen with another sword, cutting off the gods from the world. The passage between heaven and earth led to the endless peace in the nine continents of the world that has continued to this day. It was a truly unparalleled battle that concerned tens of thousands of years, and the final battlefield of that war was right under our feet. This piece of Chengyun Empire territory belongs to Liguanzhou in the northwest!

After that battle, the last human emperor may have been seriously injured in the battle, or it may be due to other unknown reasons. In short, he disappeared shortly after the battle and never appeared in the world again, but this incident happened It was so sudden that he didn't seem to have time to deal with the demon sword that was deeply stained with demonic nature left behind by the defeated demon clan leader. This was precisely the true origin of the Yanguan Formation, which settled in Liang. Yanguan Town in the state is called a small town, but it is actually a large formation. What really needs to be sealed is the end of the battle.

At that time, there were only four founders of the Three Religions family, and there were several great saints at the same level as the founders of the Three Religions, as well as the four major sword sects, the four major royal palaces, the two surnames of Nanxizhou Jiang and Chen, Liguan Zhou Chengyun The first ancestor of the empire, all the heroes gathered here, and was forced to set up this sealing formation that had been passed down for nearly ten thousand years. The purpose was to suppress the demon sword that should have belonged to the demon clan, and to Prevent this artifact that already possesses intelligence from causing harm to the world again!

However, the name of a divine weapon is by no means easy to give. The final result of that sealing operation used by the world's heroes was that all those involved were at the highest level in the world. Only the top saints who were in the first row were left. The three who are the founders of the three religions are the only ones left. The next few, such as the founders of the Mohist family, and of course a few others, have been seriously injured for thousands of years and have not recovered yet. There are also four princes who have left Linyuan School. The ninth-level palace system, being outside the world of Jiuzhou, and the relatively intact four major sword sects had to be responsible for guarding the four major surnames in the town as a powerful swordsman, and cooperated with the four saints to protect the salt official formation... and so on Due to the changes in the situation, the current layout of the town and the general trend of the world have emerged.

At this point in the explanation, the voice was silent again for a long time, then sighed and smiled at the young man: "As I said before, someone has been staring at this place for many years. What I'm talking about is the wolfish ambition of some people, who have been staring at the seal in I hope that the Demon Lord Sword under this formation will see the light of day again one day, so that they can reach the sky in one step!"

The poor young man who had been listening silently felt a little excited and thrilling just hearing about such a magnificent past event, but at the same time, there was also a faint accompanying feeling of powerlessness lingering in the young man's heart. Such a huge pattern of battles. , the characters involved are all standing at the top of the world, among the best in the world. Looking back at Chu Yuanxiao, he is now just a short-lived person who has embarked on the road to death and does not know whether he can live beyond the age of 30. , what can be done?

The down-and-out young man felt a little curious and a little helpless when he thought about this. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully asked: "So...senior chose me to do what you want me to do? Can junior help me?"

The voice seemed to smile after hearing this, with some inexplicable interest in his tone, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have said something before. Although today's move has a long history, it was not actually my choice. You, this statement should be reversed, you chose me."

"Did I choose you?" Chu Yuanxiao just felt that he was shocked to the core by the words of that... Senior Zhong, and he was confused and confused. How could I still answer a multiple-choice question without knowing it? The answer was What even I don’t know?

The person opposite seemed to be quite interested in the young man's wandering mind, so when he spoke again, there was a hint of smile in his tone, saying: "The founder of the Taoist sect once said something, in my opinion, It makes sense. It's called "the great road is endless and can be controlled." The laws of heaven are permanent and impermanent, and they are everywhere. Since you appear where you should appear, there must be a predestined relationship. As for when and where you should be, What it will be used for, I can only say, is yet to be determined.”

The young man was a little... speechless when he heard this. Didn't you say that you were one of the Four Heavenly Books? Are the words "Book of Heaven" given for free?Still don’t know where the avenue is?
The man opposite couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "If you have time and conditions, you can borrow a book called "Three Thousand Words" which is the standard of their Taoism and read it. If you understand the first sentence, you will know The so-called 'Book of Heaven' is not omniscient, everything in the world is just relative."

The poor young man seemed to understand what he heard, and after thinking for a while, he asked in his heart: "Does this junior need to do something next?"

He was just sitting under the tree basking in the sun and watching the clock, and then he was suddenly mentioned here. He was full of weird and mysterious gods. He couldn't just come here to listen to the story, right?
Now that business was mentioned, the old man who didn't know his age on the other side became serious again. After a slight silence, he slowly said: "Based on the current situation, since the other side took the opportunity to explore the way, let them Just explore, you don’t need to worry too much for the time being, and you can’t be of much help now, but you have to remember one thing, that is, after you leave here, you have to find someone in your hometown. Those two scholars in the school, as for whether you want to consider them each as half masters, you have to make your own choice. Now that this trip is over, you only need to tell them that I asked you to go, and they will understand. I'll find a way to protect your life! As for whether you can solve the problem of dead end road, it depends on fate and man. Don't worry too much, just be sincere and upright. Do this first, and wait until I need to use your skills. When the time comes, I will come to you."

The young man understood what he said and agreed with his heart.

Before leaving, the voice opposite who had never seen the real voice from beginning to end suddenly said again: "Everything you learned here cannot be mentioned to others after you go out. If you only mention it slightly, I will have it here." What you sense will also block you, but if you persist in your persistence..."

The voice paused slightly, and the last three words it said were murderous.

"you will die."
