"Senior Brother Li?"
Yu Ci had already made a guess and was not too surprised when he heard this. He smiled and stepped forward to salute.
After a few conversations, he learned that this short, fat and amiable senior brother was a fourth-generation disciple of the Demonstration Department. He had been a disciple for more than seventy years, and he was also the senior brother of Li You whom he knew.
The fat Taoist priest always laughs before saying anything, and he is a Shanghai-style person. After he got his name, he never patted Yu Ci on the shoulder. However, he was a head shorter than Yu Ci, and his movements were a bit funny:
"Junior Brother Yu is amazing. What happened in Cliff City has alarmed even the ancestor of the sect. Of the three thousand disciples of the sect, only a hundred or so can make the ancestor remember their names. Outer Chamber Disciple, tsk, Junior Brother Yu, you are the first!”
As he spoke, the fat Taoist priest extended his thumb, and Yu Ci smiled when he saw it. During this period of contact, he knew that the fat Taoist priest still exaggerated most of his words and did not take them seriously. After a few more polite words, Yu Ci asked about the origin of "Tongtian River".
He received the sect's decree half a month ago, which praised his achievements in understanding the Blood Monk's conspiracy to kill souls and killing the culprit, and asked him to come to the Lichen Sect's mountain gate immediately after receiving the decree. , there are other arrangements. Yu Ci didn't dare to delay and set off immediately. He stopped by Zhixin Guan along the way to ask about the route, and then came all the way to the northeast. Until we climbed up to Miaoqing Mountain, which is no more than a thousand feet high.
According to the guidance of Yu Zhoulao Dao, there is a "Feiyun Crossing" on the top of Miaoqing Mountain, which can be connected to the Tianhe River. After extending the river for more than a thousand miles, the mountain gate of Lichen Sect is located. But after Yu Ci climbed to the top, he only saw thousands of mountains and green mountains. There might be mountain streams and springs in the middle, but there was no trace of the "big river stretching for hundreds of miles".
The fat Taoist priest was not surprised that Yu Ci would raise this question. He smiled and said: "Since it is called the 'Tongtian River', of course it must lead to the sky. How can a human river system be called a 'Tianhe'?" ”
There was some arrogance in his words. He circled the mountains with his thick and long fingers, and patted the boulder behind him: "Look at this 'Flying Cloud Crossing', although it has its back against the void, when the mountains surge in, Above, they merge into a sea of clouds, which can be connected to all the peaks, like a jade belt. We ride the wind with our swords and ride high among the mountains. Isn’t this just chasing the current and running on the waves, and steering the boat like an arrow?”
Yu Ci looked around. At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds. Only fresh greenery covered the mountains. But he could vaguely imagine the peaks and mountains in the sea of clouds, like islands, and the rolling fog and waves.
The fat Taoist priest said from the side: "It will take a while to see the beautiful scenery of Tongtian River. Why don't I take my junior brother with me and catch up for a while first, when the clouds gather in the mountains, then we can't see it again Late."
Of course Yu Ci would not refuse and said, "Senior Brother Laoli."
"Where, where."
The fat Taoist priest laughed and waved his fat palms. As soon as there was a "buzz" sound, a pure white sword light appeared near him and Yu Ci. Yu Ci was also an expert in using swords. Seeing this, You know, not to mention the skill of the fat Taoist priest in wielding a sword, his sword light should be mixed with a special magical weapon. The sword light has lost its purity, but it has special effects.
Sure enough, the fat Taoist smiled and said to him: "My Yanze sword has a 'white cloud barrier' built into it. It has no other effect. It carries more weight than other people's swords. Come on, let's do it." Don't delay, it's still a thousand and two hundred miles from here to the mountain gate, and it will take more than two hours if everything goes well. At night, the Tongtian River is not peaceful."
Yu Ci smiled when he heard this and walked into the circle of swords lined up by the fat Taoist priest without saying much. The two people immediately jumped into the sky and threw themselves directly into the void surrounded by mountains outside "Feiyundu".
Also in the mountains, climbing and flying around the mountains are two completely different feelings. The fat Taoist priest's sword light flew fast and steady. Yu Ci stood in it and flew over one peak after another, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains. One after another, the fat Taoist priest next to him explained it casually, and he was not lonely on the road.
The journey of 1,200 miles is neither far nor close. A Huandan monk is traveling with all his strength and can fly more than 800 miles in an hour, but it will inevitably be affected if he takes a person with him. The two words mentioned by the fat Taoist priest Three hours is still very relevant. But after flying for about a quarter of an hour, Yu Ci felt something strange. According to the fat Taoist priest, the Tongtian River walked upwards, and the route the two of them flew with their swords should also be upwards. However, although the fat Taoist priest's sword light was fast, it was Always circling between the mountains, seeing the beautiful scenery of Miaoqing Mountain over and over again, the flying altitude was still around a thousand feet, which made Yu Ci not doubtful.
At this moment, the fat Taoist priest suddenly turned his head, gave her a toothy smile, and pointed his finger down the mountain: "Look, the cloud is coming."
The clouds in Miaoqing Mountain came up very quickly. The sun above my head seemed to be surrounded by a layer of haze. The temperature in the mountain dropped. There were layers of clouds rising up in the valleys on all sides. Not only that, there were also clouds flowing down from the sky. , and soon the clouds merged into one, and the mountains in the distance suddenly blurred.
The fat Taoist priest suddenly stopped the light of his sword and stood in the void. He smiled at Yu Ci and said, "This is the Tongtian River."
Yu Ci looked in the direction of his finger and saw clouds lingering around the mountain, like a vast jade belt passing through the mountain, like turbulent water in a canyon, strong winds and waves. The fat Taoist priest chose a good angle. Looking from this side Go, this jade belt seems to extend into the endless void, making people can't help but wonder where the end of this "big river" is.
"Gone!"
The fat Taoist priest roared, and the speed of his sword suddenly increased, splitting the clouds and waves, and shooting like lightning. At the same time, he smiled and said to Yu Ci: "It's still a little late. We have to take a shortcut. The road may be bumpy."
Yu Ci just smiled at this.
The sword light flew very fast, but at the moment when it was lifted from the height of the mountain, Yu Ci's sharp eyes still saw that there was also a stone tablet erected on the nearest mountain peak, which could not be seen from his angle. What is written on the monument, but the "little guy" who has always been with him can play a role and share his perspective.
I saw three words written on it: Strike Yunguan!
This time the direction of the fat Taoist priest's sword was obviously upward, and the angle was extremely large. He was suddenly far away from the peak of Miaoqing Mountain. At this time, the clouds were flowing in the sky, and from a distance, it looked like a row of Huge waves hang high in the sky, connecting with the sea of clouds in the mountains. The fat Taoist priest headed straight for the flowing cloud and rammed into it.
The field of vision suddenly narrowed, and only the mist flew, changing shapes in front of Yu Ci's eyes. The fat Taoist priest also stopped talking. He kept his head down and charged wildly with his sword. After only two or three times of acceleration, Yu Ci could no longer distinguish things. He only knew that the sword light did not fly in a straight line, but went around in countless circles, causing confusion. The clouds outside were stirring and the momentum was considerable.
In response, Yu Ci closed his eyes slightly, channeled his will, and observed the changes in the surrounding void.
After a while, he discovered that Senior Brother Li was not simply controlling the sword, but was throwing the sword light into an undercurrent in the void, and using the force to make the sword light go faster and faster. This is really It's a bit like sailing a boat.
At the same time, he did not ignore that there seemed to be other breaths around this undercurrent...
"Howl!"
A very high-pitched howl suddenly penetrated the ears. To the left of Yu Ci, the clouds and mist rolled, and a huge figure like a hill crashed towards him.
The fat Taoist priest's skill in controlling the sword was undoubtedly on full display at this moment. The pure white sword light rolled continuously like a top, wiping past the giant shadow with dangerous risks. He and the sword light became one, and it didn't matter if he turned dozens or hundreds of times, but Yu Ci couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment. He rolled down a series, not to mention southeast, northwest, even up and down was confused, but he could still stand. Extremely stable.
The fat Taoist glanced at him, a little surprised at his stability, and then explained with a smile: "Don't worry, this is a mist beast. It lives at an altitude of nearly two thousand feet, but whenever the clouds flow down, it will Flow down and enter the Tongtian River. Most of these mist beasts are relatively docile, and some are a little more ferocious, so we just need to run faster."
Yu Ci laughed and looked at the fat Taoist priest: "Brother Li, is this the difference between climbing the mountain gate from Feiyundu and attacking Yunguan?"
The fat Taoist priest was startled when he heard this. When he looked over again, the smile on his face changed a little: "Junior brother Yu has good eyesight, but this is actually the difference... Hey, don't do it!"
His cry was still a step slower. Yu Ci had already raised the Xiguang Sword at the beginning of his expression change. During the buzzing and oscillation, two sword rays were already flying and instantly transformed into the mist on the side. among.
The sword intent of Banshan Mirage originated from the mist mirage. It has the same nature. When the sword energy is forced out, it perfectly merges with the surrounding clouds and mist. Moreover, Yu Ci also has Professor Xie Yan's "sword" attached to it. The method of "breaking evil and delusion" is extremely lethal to all Yin spirits and souls!
The next moment, Yu Ci heard someone shouting: "It's so tricky!"
This call turned out to be the chorus of two people, with no difference in tone or tone. If Yu Ci hadn't been careful about it, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it. At the same time, he felt that the atomized sword energy he emitted was blocked and melted at the same time. Of course, he also retained his strength.
There were waves in the clouds again, and two clouds separated from them, twisting and turning, and suddenly they condensed into two figures, generally tall and short, fat and thin. Although their faces were still blurry, they looked cool
Yu Ci's Zhaohun Dharma Eyes were opened early, and he could see at a glance that the core of the two figures condensed in mist was the extremely pure Yin Shen reaction.
"The Yin God travels out of his body..."
He murmured something, looked back at the fat Taoist priest, grinned and said, "Which two senior brothers are these?"
