Donghuazhou, Zhaoyou Mountain.

This Saga's strange mountain rises alone, towers into the clouds, looks at it like a pillar supporting the sky, and has the reputation of "small and thoughtful" in Donghuazhou.

And Zhaoyou Tianchi is located on the top of this mountain, at night, the Yinhan stars are reflected in it, the scene is magnificent, because the depth of the pond water does not know a little, there are rumors that go straight to the place of nine secludeds, so some people describe it as "the upper heavenly river, the lower pass the netherworld".

This time, Zhang Yan passed through Xiaolang Mountain without wind and waves and arrived here smoothly.

This is the realm of the Sanbo Great Demon Gui Congyao, standing on a high place, you can take in the surrounding scenery, and this demon lord is good and quiet, and there are few monks to come and go.

For the sake of safety, Zhang Yan summoned Luo Xiao out to accompany him, and then climbed along the mountain Xiangshang all the way.

After flying away for a day and night, about mid-second day, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.

At this time, a blue lake with a radius of thousands of miles appeared in front of him.

The surface of the lake is quiet and waveless, clear as washing, like a flat mirror, it is difficult for birds to fly here, the clear air is encircled, and the surrounding clouds are rolling and cloudy, such as the sea churning, it seems to be grand and deep, and the weather is extraordinary.

Zhang Yan just stood here and took a cursory look, and found that this place was full of spiritual energy, not under his Lingye Island at all, and the sea of clouds was surging on his side, and there was an illusion that he could touch the sky with a touch of his hand, which made people want to open their minds and embrace this side of the world.

Interested, he couldn't help but chant with his hand: "The sky makes the clouds, eats the air and swallows the immortals, the mighty wind is blowing, and the gate of heaven is open!"

When Luo Xiao heard this, he covered his mouth and chuckled, and said, "The master is so courageous, presumably the search for Yunsha this time is already in his chest." ”

Zhang Yan shook his head, if this Zhaoyou Tianchi is only a hundred miles away, then it is easy to say, but here is endless, Zhou Chongju only said that the water belongs to the cloud sand under the water, but he is silent when he asks the details, who knows where it is?

Then I had to rely on myself to find it slowly, and I thought that this cheap senior brother would not fool himself casually.

However, since the Great Demon Gui was from Yao's realm, they didn't dare to fly across at will, so as not to alarm the big demon, and after discussing with Luo Xiao for a while, the two decided to search separately, and with the Jingyuan Blood Oath in their bodies, they were not afraid that they would not find each other.

When he got to the water, Luo Xiao appeared in his original form, turning into a giant python the size of three zhang and looking for it along the shore of the lake to the west.

As soon as Zhang Yan entered the water, he used a small wave-splitting technique on the Lanyun Secret Book, and the speed in the water was not slow.

Slowly dived to the bottom of a hundred zhang, there are all kinds of huge strange fish shuttling back and forth, and the lake water is cold to the bone, but it is finally able to withstand it with his cultivation.

After searching all the way east, about three or five days later, he suddenly felt something, and for no reason, it seemed that the thing he was looking for was close to the left.

After carefully searching, sure enough, a piece of blue was found on a mountain wall close to the shore of the lake, and then looked, the eyes couldn't help but glow with joy, it turned out that here was a blue Hongbo sand vein, like a ribbon in the mountain rock crevices meandering and turning, there are a lot of cloud sand, but like a spar as translucent and smooth, obviously are of the highest grade.

He glanced back and forth a few times, and finally his eyes landed on one of the cloud sands.

This cloud sand is not big, but it is full of spirituality, smooth and full, almost giving him the illusion of life, compared to it, the rest of the same kind seems to be nether mundane things.

I didn't expect to find it so easily, Zhang Yan was overjoyed, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no danger, he stepped forward and carefully picked up the cloud sand, but he was not busy putting it away, but paused to see if there was any movement around.

After a long time, he didn't notice anything unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief, put it in his sleeve, and was about to leave, when suddenly, countless tides poured around him, enveloping him and heading towards the depths of the heavenly pool.

Zhang Yan was startled, and was about to make a move, but he felt that this liliang could not resist at all, and then his eyes darkened, and suddenly he felt a sense of drowsiness.

I don't know how long it took, when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a white jade cave in a milk cave, with pieces of smoke and haze outside the window, surrounded by pearls and precious shells, and stones of various colors, which appeared colorful and colorful.

He sat on a jade chair, and on the opposite side was a jade bed, on which sat an old man with a feather coat and a star-crowned crown.

This person has a childish face, his face is like a full moon, and he holds a handful of dust in his arms, and when he saw Zhang Yan wake up, he looked at him gently and asked, "Look at your outfit, but you are a disciple of the Kaicang faction?"

Zhang Yan straightened his robe, stood up and saluted, and said, "Exactly, I don't know what the seniors call it?"

The old man smiled and said, "Old man Gui Congyao." ”

Gui Congyao, one of the three demon kings, the lord of Zhaoyou Tianchi, a great demon who has practiced for thousands of years?

Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not look a trace of demonic energy, but looked like a person who had attained the Tao.

Zhang Yan's heart shook, but his expression was not panicked at all, he arched his hand without humility or arrogance, and said: "Yuan Wan is the lord of Gui Mansion, and the younger generation is Zhang Yan, who is sent by Cang, and I have seen my predecessors." ”

Gui Congyao looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Let me ask you, did you take the water cloud sand outside my mountain gate?"

Zhang Yan did not hesitate, and replied truthfully: "Yes, it is what the younger generation takes." ”

In front of this kind of big demon, it is meaningless to conceal it with his own cultivation, and it is simply relatively good to be calm.

How do you know that after Gui Congyao heard this, instead of being angry, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Creation has arrived, creation has arrived." ”

Zhang Yan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and then his heart moved slightly, as if he had a clue.

Gui Congyao smiled and said: "Fellow Daoists, don't be confused, the cloud sand you are holding is a hundred and fifty years ago, a master passed by, he once said, if someone comes to pick it up in one hundred and fifty years, that person is my destiny noble, I waited in the cave a few years ago, and today I finally look forward to you." ”

Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, secretly wondering if Zhou Chongju asked him to come to Zhaoyou Tianchi, could it be because of this reason?

It must be, otherwise he would never be so relieved that he would come to this demon lord's realm to fetch things.

In this way, the master in Gui Congyao's mouth must be the old man who instructed him to come to the Mingcang faction.

He was thinking about it here, but Gui Congyao looked at him for a long time, Zuihou sighed, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that you were the one who killed me." ”

Zhang Yan couldn't help but be taken aback, looking at Gui Congyao's expression and not wanting to be joking, he said cautiously: "The younger generation cultivates to be low, even if he cultivates for more than a hundred years, I am afraid that he is not the opponent of the seniors." ”

Gui Congyao laughed and said: "Hehe, don't be afraid, I make sense when I say this, I have practiced for more than 2,000 years from the opening of my spiritual wisdom to now, and I have lived a total of 3,649 years old, but because of the congenital limitations, it has been difficult to cultivate for hundreds of years. ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed and sighed.

When Zhang Yan heard this, he was also concerned.

He is now a Ming Qi cultivator, and his lifespan is about three hundred years away, if there is no adventure, before Huadan, Shouyuan will not increase in the slightest. Even if you reach the Yuanying realm, it is only a thousand years of life, which sounds very long, but for cultivators who have been in retreat for dozens or hundreds of years, it is actually very short.

Perhaps, only by cultivating to the realm of supreme people, and then ascending to the sun, and becoming the legendary Da Luo Jin Immortal, can it survive forever.

I also heard Gui Congyao continue: "I asked the master if he had a way to prolong his life? He said that I was not good enough, and there was no hope in this life, unless I found a person with great luck to help me solve the army at the end of my life, so that I could be reincarnated and rebuilt, and there was still a chance to achieve enlightenment. ”

Zhang Yan nodded slowly, in fact, after he embarked on this path, he understood that reincarnation and recultivation are not so easy to walk, if there is no special Dao weapon and supreme supernatural power support, after reincarnation, the memory of the previous life will be obscured, but this is better than the life of a cultivator, and the body and soul are gone.

Gui Congyao looked at Zhang Yan with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, now there is still half a year before the time when I am relieved, and it is not yet the time to zuihou, why don't you stay here with me and help me solve the army then?"

Zhang Yan thought about it seriously, and then slowly shook his head.

Gui Congyao was not annoyed when he saw him refuse, but persuaded him: "I have cultivated for thousands of years, and I also have a lot of treasures in my hands, what do you think of my cave mansion? I will give it to you after I dissolve the army, and my body that shed after death can be given to you, and even I know a few immortal mansions that no one knows, and I can also guide you to go, what do you think?"

Zhang Yan still shook his head.

Gui Congyao was surprised and said: "Could it be that the Taoist friends dislike the poor Dao is a demon and have a view of the portal, is it because they don't want to help the old Dao?"

Zhang Yan pondered for a while, and decided to tell the truth, "The predecessors misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to help you, but a few months later, my Lieutenant General of the Taicang Sect will mobilize disciples to completely exterminate your Sanbo Demon Cultivator. ”

He is not afraid that this news will be known by Gui Congyao, Sanbo has been fighting with the Kaicang faction for so many years, and naturally there is a way to know the movements in the Kaicang faction, in the past, it was only the Kaicang faction that was afraid of the water country, so he did not do his best to make a move, and now once he makes a decision, it is not a joke to destroy Sanbo within half a year.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Gui Congyao's expression was as usual, he stroked his beard and muttered for a while, and said: "Sea Eye Demon Cave, I have heard of it, but I have never been there, but I heard that this place is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be buried here, since your Taoist friend is going, I will give you a thing, and I should help you." ”

As soon as he swept the dust, a dusty talisman flew into Zhang Yan's arms.

"This 'Harmony Mask' is refined with the broken shell on my body after I have experienced the calamity, which can ward off disasters and avoid supernatural powers, and I will send it to you today. ”

He smiled again: "I know that the merit institute of the Cang Sect has rewarded me with a head, and when the siege of Sanbo is besieged, the Taoist friends will come back here to kill me, and they should give you a miracle feat." ”
