Under the flickering candle flame, Xu Changan saw the familiar and unfamiliar face.

The old man was very old, dressed in a white robe, as if he had fallen asleep, and the wrinkles on his face were like ravines on the plateau.

Behind the statue of the god, there is only a square inch of space.

It is really difficult to accommodate a person in such a small place, even if this person has already cultivated to the heavens.

Xu Changan looked at this person and shouted in a low voice and respectfully: "Master Zeng?"

It's just that the old man sitting behind the idol didn't react at all, and his body was even covered with dust.

Xu Changan turned his head and looked at the high priest.

From the mouth of the high priest, a sigh came, and he stood on the side of the statue and beckoned to Xu Chang'an.

Xu Changan nodded, bowed to Master Zeng, and then stepped back from the idol.

An old temple, a small table, a few broken lamps, a slightly dilapidated statue of a god, two people.

The high priest somehow found a wooden table and placed it in front of the idol, and the two sat opposite each other.

There is no tea, no wine, just the wind whistling all over the mountain, and the vast wind and frost that this ancient temple has experienced.

"Do you notice anything different in your body?" the high priest looked at Xu Changan.

In fact, Xu Changan had already noticed it, but because he had just woken up, he didn't know a lot of things, so he didn't say it, and now that the high priest asked, he said: "Cultivation is regressive, about the same as in the Tongqi realm, and there are thirty-six major passes, of which twenty-four are resealed." ”

The High Priest nodded.

"What do you want to say? about your own cultivation. ”

After two or three months, Xu Changan's face showed a little vicissitudes, and the stubble on his face also grew.

He smiled and shook his head.

"It's nothing, just cultivate again. At the beginning, my 36 major knots and 72 small knots were completely opened because Yunhe Zhenren came out to save the scene. has experienced so much, and has survived several lives and deaths, not to mention this trick. I'm lucky to be alive to this day. Xu Changan raised his head and said lightly.

The high priest glanced at Xu Changan with some surprise, generally speaking, the most difficult thing for a genius to accept is the fall of his own cultivation. Once shining brightly, but now it has fallen to the bottom, which is not acceptable to everyone.

As far as he knew, in the past hundred years, the only person who could accept this kind of blow was Shi Antian, who died in the snow-capped mountains.

"Yes, good heart. Do you know, why are your full secrets sealed again?"

Xu Changan shook his head, knowing that this was the high priest delivering the words, so he immediately said, "Please ask the high priest for advice." ”

"It was me and my great-master who did it. ”

Hearing this answer, Xu Changan was a little surprised, according to his previous guess, he thought that the Demon Clan's Open Heaven Realm had left some means in his body.

He looked at the High Priest, and sure enough, the High Priest stood up, his head tilted, and a smile on his face that couldn't be explained.

"Your father came to beg me to save you with this Nine Dragons Talisman, but I didn't agree until Master Zeng came. ”

The high priest walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky and said, "It's not that I can't bear the Nine Dragon Talisman, it's just that this immortal energy is too domineering, if you use it directly, I'm afraid you will explode and die." Moreover, if other people come to ask for this Nine Dragons Talisman, they will not be able to save it at all, unless hundreds or even dozens of people bear it at the same time, this immortal will not only not be able to save people, but will also harm people. ”

"But you are an exception, all the spirit sealing sword bodies, whether they are sealing demons, sealing demons or sealing spirits, are actually the same. This kind of physique is very special, their knots and meridians can contain very powerful power, even a baby, can seal the great grandmaster or even the master of the Open Heaven Realm into his body. So, their meridians can withstand it

This is a powerful vitality. ”

Xu Changan listened very seriously, because this was what he was talking about, and when he heard this, he glanced at his body.

"But the meridians and the knots can hold it, but they can't keep it, and if these forces gush out, they can directly damage your physical body. Therefore, there must be someone who uses his own cultivation to seal your key points, so that those forces can slowly nourish your body, so that they will not explode and destroy you all at once. However, the power of this immortal life belongs to the descendants of the Divine Dragon after all. Therefore, it is not easy to suppress them, and there must be sacrifice. ”

Hearing this, Xu Changan's body suddenly shook.

He looked at the idol, and he knew why the old man behind the idol was in this state.

The high priest glanced at him and found that there were tears hidden in Xu Changan's eyes, he pretended not to see them, and continued: "I didn't agree to your father's request, because he has more important things to do. Tuoba Qing should tell you, his father and grandmother left this land in order to go with your father to find the soul of the dragon left in ancient times. The Shenlong clan is the darling of heaven and earth, although they are scarce, but their strength and talent are extraordinary, if you want to deal with Shenlong, you must use the power of Shenlong. And the ancient dragon soul has been slowly worn away by the years, and if you use it to forge a sword, you will definitely be able to slay the dragon!"

Everything is connected, no wonder when Hong Ziyan told her father that someone went to Iron Sword Mountain and Sword Pavilion, her father was so anxious.

Xu Changan thought a lot, and he also remembered that Master Chen Guizhi had said when he was chatting with the lame master that they were forging swords in Tiejian Mountain, so everything in Tiejian Mountain was done by Chen Gui going down the mountain.

"Yes...... There is no Divine Dragon now!" Xu Changan was a little puzzled.

The high priest looked at Xu Chang'an, as if he had made a huge determination, and lowered his head and said: "At the beginning, it was said that the Demon Sealing Sword Body would enter the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and the one who predicted the Divine Dragon was the stargazing vein. At that time, the Yuan family, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor of the past dynasties, produced a genius, and he forcibly cultivated a forbidden method, which was the Emperor Pole Sutra Heavenly Technique mentioned earlier. Subsequently, he was hunted down by righteous men......"

The high priest sighed, closed his eyes, and said, "Because this Emperor's Extreme Heavenly Technique is a technique that can move the number of lives, if it is left in the world, then it will be okay! They can manipulate other people's lives at will!"

Xu Changan was stunned when he heard this, and his heart seemed to be flooded with earth-shattering waves.

Qin Tianjian, Yuan family?

Xu Changan remembered the child he saw when he rescued Chai Xintong, he was a member of the Yuan family, and later heard Chai Xintong say that he accepted the child named Yuan Xingchen as an apprentice. It seems that if there is a chance in the future, I will have to visit Yuan Lao again.

"Then what is his prophecy?" Xu Changan was faintly uneasy in his heart, and looked at the high priest and asked.

"The dragon swims in the shallows, and wants to go out of the East Mountain; the demon comes out again, and the world should be punished; when the dragon appears, the world will change greatly!"

After the high priest finished speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Changan, only to see a look of shock on the latter's face.

Xu Changan never expected that the Demon Sealing Sword Club would be connected with the Divine Dragon. Now he understands his master's attitude towards him more and more, but he still can't forgive him. He is not for himself, but for the little master who has been silently caring for him.

"The first sentence, we still don't understand, this day the whole world has visited all the rivers, and there is not a mountain called the East Mountain. As for the last two sentences, there is no need to explain. ”

The last two sentences Xu Changan also understands that this "sealing the demon again, the world should be punished" is actually similar to the demon as stated by Tianji Pavilion, as for the latter sentence, it is even more meaningless. That is to say, the dragon will be born and disturb the world.

You can also see that the second and third sentences, they think they are too simple, so they connect them. So there was a rumor that the Demon Sealing Sword Body was the one who released the Divine Dragon, and the Nine Dragons Fu sealed it was the Divine Dragon's spirit!"

Xu Changan was dumbfounded, but finally accepted it.

"It's good that the malice isn't so much, me

I also understand why Uncle Shi took me to hide in Weicheng all the time, as well as the master's attitude towards me, and the reason why the demon clan was obviously able to take action when I traveled around the rivers and lakes, but didn't care about me. Xu Changan smiled bitterly.

"But there is one thing, why did the Xiangliu clan have to put me to death?" Xu Changan was puzzled.

Regarding this question, the high priest looked at him, no longer concealed it, and continued to explain: "Their bloodline is not the strongest, but it is rumored that the Xiangliu clan has produced a genius and has reached the same realm as Shenlong. In other words, under the dragon, that willow is invincible!"

Xu Changan understands that the spirit of the old willow must still be there. Without the Divine Dragon, their Xiangliu clan would be able to sit back and relax and unify the land demon lineage.

"Hey!"

The High Priest sighed.

Xu Changan lowered his head, suddenly raised his head, bowed down to the high priest, gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, is there a way to forget the realm!"

Xu Chang'an's title to the high priest has become a senior, and the high priest is also worthy of it, after all, he not only gave him the Bodhisattva talisman back then, but now even the Nine Dragons talisman has been used by him, or when he learned the prophecy.

"You're talking about the natural supernatural powers you got by entering the Huixi River in the form of a heavenly river, right?"

Xu Changan nodded, now that he has a magic sword and a demon realm, he is getting closer and closer to that prophecy.

"You should understand the essence of the devil, you can't lose this thing, but you can change it, the devil's heart is my heart. As he spoke, the high priest pointed to himself.

Xu Changan has heard these truths many times, and he has also talked a lot in "Crossing Life", but he always feels that he is a little bit behind.

"But senior, why didn't you kill me? "The more you know, the more questions Xu Changan has in his head.

The high priest smiled and did not answer his question, he looked up at the idol and smiled: "If you surrender to the so-called number of fate, then what is the meaning of this world?"

"Okay, Master Zeng didn't save you, and you don't have to be resentful. His cultivation is all in your body, as well as the power of the Nine Dragons Talisman. When you feel you can handle it, you can break through the barrier. I suggest that if you want to become a grandmaster, re-comprehend a sword domain, and then find a piece of heaven and earth treasure, and cultivate a sword fetus, only then can you break through to the grandmaster without damage. If you want, please bring the body of Master Zeng to the disciples of Zhixing Academy. Before leaving, your father instructed you to go to Iron Sword Mountain again when you have time. ”

He said that he was ashamed to see you and Qi Fengjia and the little master, but he wanted to see you get better. So, I placed him behind the idol. Also, he had the same idea as yours, and he wrote that word on the ground at the beginning. ”

After saying that, the high priest departed.

Xu Changan bowed to the multi-headed and multi-handed idol, his face was complicated, and his feelings for Master Zeng were also complicated.

He was his good brother's master, and he sacrificed his life to save himself, but he chose to give up his senior brother.

In any case, Zeng Fuzi is still a respectable old-timer.

Xu Changan got behind the statue, looked at Master Zeng, and bowed three times.

"Great-Master, your wish will come true. ”

As soon as Xu Chang'an's words fell, he seemed to see the body and smiled; Xu Changan stretched out his hand, and with a light touch, Master Zeng and his clothes turned into a big handful of powder.

Xu Changan turned his head, trying to find something to pack up this great-master and let him return to his homeland.

Looking back, I saw a niche that the high priest had placed on the table for some unknown time.

...............................................................................

I filled the pit and asked for all kinds of things.
