Sword of Coming

At the entrance of Guixi Valley, there is a row of huge archways. The first one is the astonishing five-room, six-column eleventh floor. The walls are inlaid with precious yellow and green glazed bricks, and each dragon column is carved. There are pictures of demons conquered by the ancestors of the Pima Sect in past dynasties, and the plaque reads "Magnificent and Wonderful".

People who practice Taoism and pure martial arts often have excellent eyesight. However, after Chen Pingan looked at the archway before, he couldn't see the end of the road clearly at all, and it seemed that it was not due to a deception.

However, compared to the gate connecting the Hanging Mountain and the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the mystery of the archway here did not surprise Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan sat casually near the archway and flipped through the book for more than an hour. Because he read carefully and did not want to miss any details, he only read half of it. He planned to rest at the market inn not far away today and make plans tomorrow. , there is no need to worry whether to browse the border scenery of Guixi Valley again, or to enter Guixi Valley through the row of archways and go deep into the hinterland for experience.

Chen Ping'an put away the book and walked towards the prosperous market. This is the Pima Sect that is leased to monks from a small Skeleton Beach sect to take care of it. This is true for many industries. The Pima Sect monks do not personally participate in the management. After all, Pima Sect There are less than 200 people in the sect, and the family business is huge. They do everything by themselves, which delays the cultivation of the Tao, and the gain outweighs the loss.

However, Yuan Ying, surnamed Su, was in charge of the cross-continent ferry, and Jin Dan, surnamed Yang, was in charge of patrolling the Mural City. They were exceptions because these two matters involved the face and dignity of the Pima Sect.

Today's Luolu Mountain already has some prototypes of a hilltop mansion. Zhu Lian and Shi Rou seem to be in charge of internal and external affairs respectively. One is in charge of general affairs on the mountain, and the other is taking care of business in Qilong Lane.

It wasn't until he actually left Longquan County that Chen Ping'an would look back and think about it during his occasional boxing breaks on the cross-continental ferry. Only then did he find it interesting that one of the two steward-looking guys was a far-traveling martial artist. , one is a skeletal female ghost wearing the remains of an immortal, who can imagine?

Before Chen Ping'an left Luolu Mountain, he had already said hello to Zhu Lian. He usually would not fly his sword easily to send a message back to Niujiao Mountain, and the two flying swords hidden in the small sword tomb could not cross continents, so this time he traveled far away. When you travel to Luzhou in Beiju, you are truly alone, without worries.

After all, Luolu Mountain is very stable now.

It is others who should be afraid.

Chen Ping'an was walking on the road, holding on to his bamboo hat and laughing to himself. It was time for him, a Baofengzhai, to earn some money.

Bone Beach is a place where there is no need to talk about Confucian etiquette. The small market has no name, so it is commonly known as Naiheguan to the locals. After they get used to calling it, they recognize it when they come and go.

Even if the sun is shining brightly, the streets and alleys here in the market still look gloomy and cool. According to the Pima Sect-engraved book "Xinxinji", it is due to the yin energy leaking out of the Ghost Valley, so People with weak bodies should stay away. However, these scary-sounding yin energies are clearly recorded in black and white in the book. They have been tempered by the Pima Sect's landscape formation. They are relatively pure and uniform. To a certain extent, they are suitable for monks to absorb directly. Therefore, as long as the Qi practitioners fly in the sky and look around, they will find that not only around the market, but also along the entire border of the Ghost Valley, there are many Qi practitioners building thatched cottages here to practice Taoism. There are elegant but not simple thatched huts. Dotted all over the place, these huts are well spaced. These huts were built by monks of the Pima Sect who are good at Feng Shui and Kanyu. They specially hired people to build them on the "springs" with strong yin energy. Moreover, each hut is equipped with futons secretly made by Sanlang Temple, which is a symbol of Taoism. People can rent a thatched hut for a short period of time, and those with deep pockets can also buy it outright. The detailed price list is clearly marked in the "Xinxin Collection".

This is probably the way Pima Sect makes money.

In the future, Luo Luo Shan must learn a lesson.

After Chen Ping'an entered the market, he wandered around and found that almost all shops sold a kind of white bones that were as clear as jade. This was a kind of acquired spiritual treasure that was introduced in detail in the goods breeding chapter of "Xinxinji". It was quite rare and there was one in the Ghost Valley. At first, many ghosts born in the ancient battlefield sites gathered together. Half of them were expelled here by the monks of the Pima Sect at a huge cost to avoid causing wanton trouble to the entire beach of bones.

Later, some of these ghost objects climbed up the realm like Qi practitioners. By various chances and coincidences, they evolved into heroic spirits like gods of mountains and rivers. More often, they became violent and violent ghosts who ran rampant. As time went by, there were also people who specialized in "taking ghosts as their The powerful Yin spirit of "Eat" appeared, and the two sides struggled to fight. The loser's soul was scattered and transformed into the Yin Qi of the Ghost Valley. The chance of reincarnation was lost, and the numerous bones of different grades were scattered in all directions, and they were usually destroyed. The winner collects and stores them as trophies. Whenever Qi practitioners and pure warriors enter Guixi Valley, these jade-white bones become quite a fortune.

Many merchants on the mountain come here to buy the extremely pure white bones that have been tempered by the Yin energy of Ghost Valley, which are excellent materials for refining many Yin magic weapons.

Chen Pingan finally walked into the largest shop in the market. There were many tourists and it was crowded. They were all looking at a treasure that was sealed in a glass cabinet. It was the ghost of a city lord who destroyed a city in Ghost Valley. The skeleton, one foot tall, was placed in a glazed cabinet in a sitting position deliberately by the shop, with his hands clenched in fists and resting on his knees, looking into the distance. Even though it was a completely dead thing, it still had the stern look of an overlord.

The whole body of this white bone is covered with natural silver threads, which are densely intertwined and the brilliance flows erratically.

It is said that the owner of this skeleton was a heroic spirit whose realm was equivalent to that of a Yuanying Earth Immortal. He was unruly and unruly. He led eight thousand ghosts under his command, proclaimed himself a king, and fought everywhere. There were a lot of frictions with Mr. Gu, but there is no record of the fall of this heroic spirit in the "Anxiety Collection". According to the spitting young man in the shop at the moment, the shopkeeper got to know a secretive man in his early years. The Northern Sword Immortal deliberately showed off his skills as a swordsman in the cave realm, but the shopkeeper was congenial and treated him with courtesy. As a result, the sword Immortal took a trip to the Ghost Valley and brought out this priceless set of bones. He gave it directly to the shop, saying that it would be treated as the drink money he had owed on credit before, and left without leaving his real name.

Elsewhere, Chen Pingan would definitely not believe such a ridiculous story full of gimmicks, but here in Luzhou, Beiju, Chen Pingan would be half convinced.

This pair of heroic white bones, which look like the skeleton of an earthly immortal with "golden branches and jade leaves", is a well-deserved top-grade magic weapon. The store clerk said that it is not for sale under normal circumstances, but if you are really sincere, you can negotiate. However, the clerk made it clear that he didn't have four or five in his pocket. Don't even mention ten grain rain coins, lest both parties waste their saliva. Even with such a sky-high price, Chen Pingan still found that there were several groups of people in the store eager to try it.

Chen Pingan will not join in the fun.

I left the shop and found an inn. The room was not luxurious, but it was clean and refreshing. Similar to the tea stall at the ferry in the Swinging River, gold and silver are not required. You can start with a piece of snow and you can stay for three days, and food and drinks are not included. If it were a secular dynasty at the foot of the mountain, even if it was the great capital of Li with many rich men and women, if an inn that was as big as a snail shell dared to charge more than three hundred taels of silver a day, it would probably be drowned in saliva early.

Chen Ping'an took off his bamboo hat and the sword fairy on his back, and continued to read the "Xinxin Collection" which became more and more uneasy as he read it.

The Skeleton Beach is one of the top ten ancient battlefield sites in Luzhou, Beiju. The Ghost Valley is even more special. It is a place where time whirlpools, forming a small world of its own, just like the underworld. Its territory is no smaller than the Skeleton Beach in the "Yangjian". There is one This huge heroic spirit, who is now equivalent to the cultivation level of Jade Pu Realm, was the first to stand out. In response to his call, he gathered tens of thousands of Yin soldiers and Yin generals to build a famous Bone Jingguan City, like a dynasty capital, with dozens of surrounding cities. , half of them are attached to Jingguan City, and the other half are managed and created by some sophisticated ghosts. They are far away from Jingguan City and are unwilling to be subordinated to others and serve as vassals. In the past thousand years, they have joined forces vertically and horizontally, and there are fewer and fewer ghosts in the Ghost Valley. , but it is also getting stronger and stronger.

Historically, the ghosts of Ghost Valley have tried to break through the boundary twice. If they want to leave the border and plunder the bone beach, it is best to go north along the swaying river, eat two countries along the way in one go, and then kidnap the living people and bring them back to Ghost Valley. They used sinister secret techniques to create new ghosts and ghosts, and strengthened their troops. Fortunately, they were blocked by the monks of the Pima Sect, but this also caused the Pima Sect's vitality to be severely damaged twice, and its momentum fell from its peak to the bottom.

From establishing a firm foothold in Beiju Luzhou to expanding its territory, everything went wrong for the Pima Sect.

However, Beiju Luzhou has a profound heritage. It can be seen from this that there is a beach of bones. The Pima Sect alone has three Yupu Realm ancestors, and there is also one in Guixi Valley.

Looking at East Aquarius Continent, if we don’t mention the group of master hermits who secretly infiltrated, there are only a handful of cultivators born and raised in Aquarius Continent, and there are only a handful of Upper Five Realm monks on the top of the mountain.

However, regarding this matter, Cui Dongshan had already reminded him, saying that the territory of Aquarius Continent is less than 30% of Julu Continent. The Yupu Realm of Aquarius Continent is rare in number and cannot be compared to the power of other continents. As long as the continent is a cultivator who has reached the upper five realms, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. For example, Liu Laocheng of Shu Jianhu, and the proud men of Wei and Jin in Fengxue Temple are all weird people who share the fate of a continent. If they were to fight for their lives with fellow monks from Beiju Luzhou or Tongyezhou, especially those pampered genealogy masters, Liu Laocheng and Wei Jin would have a great chance of winning.

Once a Qigong practitioner or martial artist chooses to go to the valley to practice, it is equivalent to signing a life-and-death contract with the Pima Sect. Whether they are rich or die suddenly depends on their ability and luck. If they make a windfall, the Pima Sect will not envy or covet it, and they will not have a penny. He died in the Ghost Valley. From now on, he will not be able to transcend life and death, and he will not blame others.

This is an unwritten rule. In history, there are not cases where the Xian family's mansion feels sorry for the death of a proud disciple in the sect. Afterwards, they are dissatisfied, call their friends, and come to the Skeleton Beach to argue with the Pi Ma Sect. This is to ask for guilt. I also have the idea of ​​​​asking for some compensation from the Pima Sect. The monks of the Pima Sect never explain a word. When someone comes, they set up a table at the entrance of the mountain, served a cup of gloomy tea to the guests, and then started fighting, or Either beat the opponent to his ancestral hall, or beat him to make him hand over all the magic weapons and fairy money, then throw them into the swaying river, and then go back to his hometown in the north.

Therefore, the Swaying River also has another name, Dumpling River.

But I have made dumplings several times.

However, the Pima Sect will not think about the death of outsiders who come here to practice. The "Anxiety Collection" has clearly marked three northbound routes. It is recommended that Qi practitioners and warriors carefully weigh their own realms and search for them at the beginning. Lonely ghosts wandering around, and then at best they have to deal with a few cities with little influence. In the end, if you are talented and bold, you are still not satisfied, and you can try your luck in a few cities in the hinterland.

The level of all the earthly immortals, heroic spirits and ghost kings in the Ghost Valley are clearly recorded in the books, as well as their expertise in spells, the magic weapons they keep close to them, and their ability to press the bottom of the box.

Moreover, the monks of the Pima Sect built two small towns in Guixi Valley. The leader of the sect, Immortal Master Guochi, is stationed in one of them personally, but ordinary people often cannot see her. However, there are two groups of Pima Sect inner sects in the town who specialize in hunting Yin spirits and ghost generals. Outsiders can follow the monks or invite them to travel to the Ghost Valley. The Pima Sect monks will not take a penny from all the harvest. However, the book also admits that the Pima Sect monks will not serve as followers for anyone and will not save anyone in the face of death. It is normal. However, if there are children of the Xian family's powerful family who feel that their money is too much and come to visit the Ghost Valley, it is okay. As long as they follow the instructions of the Pima Sect monks throughout the process, the Pima Sect can guarantee that they have visited the Ghost Valley. The scenery can be completely out of danger, as long as those who enjoy the scenery strictly abide by the rules. If there is any accidental loss during the period, the Pima Sect monks will not only pay money, but also their lives.

In the night, Chen Ping'an closed a thick copy of "Safety Collection", got up and went to the window, leaning against it and drinking.

After reading the book to the end, in addition to remembering the complicated taboos, I also saw the heroic spirit of the Pima Sect monks in the book.

Think back to those days.

At that time, there was a straw-shoe boy in Lizhu Cave. He raised his head high and saw an unforgettable scene.

There are countless sword cultivators who travel across continents with their swords to fight against the demons at the Great Sword Qi Wall.

Seeking profit and fame?

Just sharpening the sword.

No wonder she said that this cold and miserable place has many heroes since ancient times.

Only in this kind of soil can the most sword immortals in the world emerge.

If you are willing to give me a few jugs of wine, I will give you a set of bones worth dozens of Grain Rain coins.

Is it reasonable? Don’t tell.

Doesn't it make sense? Very.

Chen Pingan turned to look at the sword immortal placed on the table and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you here."

Chen Ping'an's gaze shifted slightly, looking at the bamboo hat, and said with a smile: "Because my name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an's Ping'an. I am a swordsman."

After a moment of silence, Chen Ping'an rubbed his chin and murmured: "Would it be more impressive to omit 'Ping'an'an'an'an'?"

Mural City encountered a strange thing that has never happened in a century.

The monks of the Pima Sect began to seal off the three walls where the blessings still existed, and no tourists were allowed to approach. Even the shopkeepers and clerks had to move out temporarily and had to wait for the notice from the Pima Sect.

Naturally, there was a lot of resentment and scoldings one after another.

An unlucky man was jumping around and cursing when a monk from the Pima Sect happened to be passing by nearby. Without saying a word, the monk dropped his sleeves to the ground, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Then that poor guy's friend didn't say anything, picked him up and ran away, without even apologizing to the Pima Sect deity or even saying a harsh word.

This is the case in Luzhou, Beiju. If I have the guts to point at other people's noses and curse heaven and earth, it's my business. But if someone beats me down, that's because I'm not good enough. I admit that one day I can beat the opponent with my fists. , just find the place again.

The golden elixir monk named Yang had a headache.

The junior brother Pang Lanxi beside him was even more helpless.

It turned out that under a mural, there was a young man in ragged clothes, kneeling there and kowtowing, bleeding. He begged the rain goddess on the mural to give him a chance. Without revenge, as long as the goddess is willing to give her a piece of good fortune, he is willing to work for her for the rest of his life, even if he is to be broken into pieces immediately after taking revenge.

Before kowtowing, the young man took out an ancient jade token that he had found somewhere and placed it gently on the ground.

The middle-aged Jindan monk waved his hand, indicating to an outer monk that there was no need to drive this person away.

Pang Lanxi wanted to persuade him, but the middle-aged monk held his shoulder.

The middle-aged monk paid more attention to the woman who was as slender as a willow.

When she appeared, the landscape array set up by the Pima Sect on the mural side remained motionless, but the natural restrictions in the secret realm of the Immortal Palace began to ripple.

As for the Goddess Guayan, there was no rush. A foreigner had already been recognized by the Goddess, and the Pima Sect let it go without stopping them from leaving.

The Goddess Guayan reciprocated the favor and took the initiative to hike up the mountain with the owner to the ancestral hall of their Pima Sect.

Therefore, the picture of the Goddess hanging on an inkstone was the first to be turned into a line drawing.

Then a colorful deer jumped from the picture of a goddess riding a deer, and the figure disappeared instantly, followed closely behind, becoming the second line drawing mural today.

The monk surnamed Yang was shocked before. After all, the blessing of this picture of a female official in the heaven is the only mural that the Pima Sect is determined to win. Everyone in the Pima Sect hopes that their junior brother Pang Lanxi can successfully take over this mural. Great opportunity. So he almost couldn't hold back and tried to stop the colorful deer from disappearing suddenly, but the sect master Guochi Immortal quickly walked out of the mural and asked him to step back and just guard the last picture of the goddess, and then Guochi Immortal The master then returned to the Guixi Valley station, saying that there were distinguished guests coming and she had to come to receive them personally. As for the visit to the mountain by the Goddess Guayan and her new master, she could only leave it to the master uncle at the Ancestral Master Hall.

The middle-aged monk was actually at a loss. He could ask his sect master to come forward to welcome guests. Could it be that he was the master of a large sect?

The Goddess of Rain finally appeared, her face was pale. After walking out of the scroll, she glanced at the woman with cold eyes, and then looked at the ancient jade tablet on the ground with the words "Xing Yun" and "Liu Shui" in Chinese characters on the front and back. The goddess who is most proficient in the art of deduction seems to be in a dilemma.

The middle-aged monk saw some clues.

This is a huge problem that none of the other seven goddesses in Mural City have ever encountered.

If the woman who looked very weak and gentle didn't pay attention to her eyes, and she happened to be standing under this mural, even he, a golden elixir monk, wouldn't pay too much attention to her.

It was unimaginable that a goddess could be so pitiful and helpless.

The Goddess Xingyu is the one who has the most dealings with the Pima Sect. It is said that she is the most resourceful among the goddesses in the Immortal Palace. She is especially good at playing chess. The ancestor once said with a smile that if someone is lucky enough to win the favor of the Goddess Xingyu, Fighting and killing may not be too powerful, but a fairy mansion actually needs the help of this goddess the most.

The woman glanced at the young man who kept kowtowing, with a few bones on his forehead, and then looked at the Goddess of Rain, "You go and help him get through the difficulties. After a period of time, come back and apologize to me."

The Goddess of Rain's mind was swaying so much that the whole mural city seemed to be filled with water mist. The Goddess felt that after seeing this woman who was obviously not too high-level, she felt like she was seeing a subordinate in the officialdom at the foot of the mountain. Official of the Ministry of Personnel.

The Goddess of Rain said in a trembling voice: "How to find the master afterwards?"

The woman said calmly: "Lion Peak."

The middle-aged monk from Pima Sect frowned.

There is indeed a powerful Yuanying in Lion Peak who should not be underestimated, but he is a male monk who is already quite old.

But even if the Nascent Soul cultivator is standing here in person, why would the Rain Goddess be so frightened?

The woman introduced herself to the middle-aged Jindan monk with a smile: "Lion Peak, Li Liu."

The middle-aged monk still had never heard of this name, but he still said: "Pima Sect, Yang Lin."

The young woman named Li Liu left the Mural City just like that.

It seemed that no one even bothered to look at the Rain Goddess again.

The young man Pang Lanxi, who was standing aside blankly, wiped his forehead with sweat, and said with emotion: "Senior Brother Yang, this senior Li Liu is so scary."

The middle-aged monk smiled and said, "Let's just say this to my senior brother. If your master hears it, he will give you a lesson for not cultivating your mind enough."

The young man was simple-minded and thought that Senior Brother Yang was really calm and would definitely become one of the pillars of the Pima Sect in the future, but he did not see the complicated look in Senior Brother Jindan's eyes.

Because Pang Lanxi himself was still unaware that he had lost the blessing of the picture of the goddess riding a deer.

In the Ghost Valley.

The group of people did not go through the entrance archway.

Instead, one of them directly opened a gate with his life object, and then a Liuxia boat rushed in.

On the bow of the ship stood a young female sect leader wearing a Taoist robe and a lotus crown on her head, a goddess followed by colorful deer, and Jiang Shangzhen who had changed his mind and wanted to travel to the Ghost Valley together.

Although the Liuxia Boat, which was gifted by Heavenly Lord Xie Shi, was a treasure of the Immortal Family, it was still flying much slower in the thick fog and obstacles in the Ghost Valley.

The Liuxia Boat is like a comet piercing the sky of the Ghost Valley, which is extremely eye-catching. The treasure boat rubs against the evil miasma and blooms with brilliant colors of glass. At the same time, the sound of breaking through the sky is like a thunderous earthquake, and many ghosts and ghosts are scattered on the ground. Many cities along the way below were quickly put under martial law.

Jiang Shangzhen put his palm on his forehead, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Sect Leader, the White Bone Jingguan City is coming soon. This Liuxia Boat is really a treasure. Can you sell it?"

The young woman turned a deaf ear.

The deer-riding goddess was just like her master, and she didn't want to deal with this guy who spoke so freely.

Jiang Shangzhen suddenly turned around and asked: "Sect Master He, if you insist on killing him, I will stop you because the realms of the two of you are so different. Of course, before that, if Jingguan City wants to bully the two You have to ask me, Mr. Jiang, whether you agree or not."

The female crown still didn't speak.

Jiang Shangzhen sighed.

For men and women in this world, it is easy to talk about debts, but it is difficult to repay love debts.

How did Chen Ping'an provoke her?

He's not that old, but he's very capable.

If Chen Pingan were present, Jiang Shangzhen would have given his thumbs up and praised him as a role model for our generation.
