El Tienuo Calendar, December 568, El Tienuo Bailu Cave Back Mountain

Nier followed the direction of the silver dress lady’s fingers and looked into the deep-locked clouds. The foreground of her eyes seemed very unreal, but in vaguely, she saw the road extending straight to the top of the mountain, as if Some archway portals and the like are built on the road in order.

"The end of this road is the first forbidden area of ​​Bailu Cave, a prison dedicated to imprisoning sinners, and a heavy building with smoke and locks. If this sister is interested, you can try it out. Can you go straight? The top of the mountain."

"Just rush to the top of the mountain like this? Lao Er Li couldn't get through here at the beginning? Is Lu You blocking him here? Or is the real obstacle at the top of the mountain?"

Nier asked a few more questions, but the lady in Yinshang just laughed but did not answer. Then, Nier looked at the mountain road in the cloud and mist, and saw the dense fog like a waterfall, falling down the sky, introverted and introverted. , I don’t know how many killing organs are hidden. The Qimen Dunjia in Bailudong is well-known in the world. It has achieved remarkable achievements over thousands of years. Although I say that I have heavenly power to protect my body, I really dare not face the technological crystallization of this ancient culture. Steady words will win.

Motivated by curiosity, Nier took a few steps forward, but saw that the first stone steps in front of her were sprinkled with large patches of dark red blood. Although it had dried up, she still looked shocked, and people couldn't help but rise. There was a chill.

"This is a prison? In order to prevent others from robbing the prison, do people who came here before have to break into the government like this?"

"I don't know this because I haven't been here for a long time, but I believe that as long as you really want to go up the mountain, you must be able to go up."

"This sister really can count on me..."

Nier is not afraid to fight, but she doesn’t want to fight this kind of inexplicable confusion. But when the lady in Yin Chang said so, she was eager to win. She felt so cringe and she was really not like herself, so she immediately raised a mouthful. Zhen Qi, transported the Heavenly Demon's energy all over the body, swelled the protective gas shield, and then strode up the stone steps.

Considering that the Qimen Dunjia in Bailudong is very powerful, there must be some powerful mechanism on the road. Nier decided to take a trick from the beginning. When she stepped on the first stone step, she used the Jiuyao speed, the whole body The shape turned into a gust of wind, rushing towards the top of the mountain.

The extremely fast speed of Jiuyao is unparalleled in the world. Nier's wishful thinking is based on such a high speed, to rush up the mountain before all the organs are activated. The only obstacle in this way is the magic arts, as to whether they can succeed. , Just to see if the devil power is really invincible in the world!

Nier rushed with all her strength. Although her Jiuyao speed was far less than Yuangoro’s turnaround, she galloped in a straight line. With the full force of the strong heavenly power, the whole person was like a strong whirlwind, soaring to the top of the mountain, but she felt the wind in her ears. As he whirred, the cold cloud and mist rubbed his skin. Between the hazy mist, there seemed to be something standing on the mountain road, but without a chance to see clearly, he brushed past those things.

(Most of them are organs, but even if they are organs, they broke through for me...)

Ni'er was secretly delighted, and thought that she had made great progress in martial arts in recent days. Even among the strong talents, few people were her opponents. What's more, these small institutions shouldn’t have been so timid before. These institutions Basically...

Thinking about joy, it is inevitable that when Nier woke up, it was already accompanied by a sharp pain, and her eyes were black, her body was so painful that her body was stiff, and her mind was confused. She thought she was finally hit by some powerful organ. After that, I realized that I had already rushed through the whole journey at high speed, but my sight was obscured by the dense fog. I didn't see clearly that the road ahead was finished, so I slammed into the rock wall of the mountain so hard that I was embedded in it.

"Woo...it hurts!"

Nier broke free from the rock wall and pulled out a pile of rubble. Although she was not injured, she felt dizzy but uncomfortable. Looking at the "human"-shaped rock wall pit, she felt embarrassed. To die, at this moment, I heard the laughter from the side again.

"Hahahaha~~~"

Ni'er turned around, and the lady in Yin Chang had already pushed the car, appeared behind her, smiled very happily, and clapped her hands continuously.

"It's really a friend of Xu Liewu! I have been in the Yansuo Heavy Building for a long time, and I have read the archives of predecessors. No one has climbed to the top of the mountain in such a luxurious way for at least five hundred years, this sister You are so cute, hahaha!"

It's a good thing to bring joy to people, but Nier was still a little bit irritated by the smile, and frowned and asked if the institutions here only have such a degree?

"Well, it's the ones you passed along the way. There are no other institutions. If you walk a few dozen feet ahead, you will find the Yansuo Heavy Building. However, this place has been empty for a long time, and no prisoners have been imprisoned here for many years. Up."

In other words, this woman who is responsible for taking care of the cigarette lock building is living alone here. Nier thought of this, and her heart shuddered, thinking that she was speeding up with Jiuyao, using the power of heaven. , The speed is extremely fast, but this woman sits in a wheelchair, but only slows herself down for a moment, and then follows up the mountain. This speed is difficult even for a light skill with all legs, let alone a bad one. Disability, so to speak...

"Do you know martial arts?"

"No, I haven't studied it."

The lady in Yinshang smiled and shook her head, and said: "But there are many books in the Yansuozhonglou. I live alone and often borrow books on Oriental Immortals for self-study. Later, Teacher Mei Lin visited occasionally and gave me a lot of advice. ..."

While speaking, her slender fingers shook the wheel, and the wooden wheel turned in response, but it rose off the ground, floating as if supported by some cloud, and Nier immediately understood that she was unable to walk. , How to pick plum petals from the peak to halfway up the mountain, and how to follow oneself up to the peak.

(Mei Lin also taught her? It's strange, it turns out that old lady Mei Lin had been to Bailu Cave before. So, she and Lu You...hehe, maybe there is something broken, but both of them are Hard-tempered, probably every time I go straight up the mountain, don’t go to the nearby Thousand Snow Valley... Well, what is this to do with me? I guess what is this doing?)

The lady in Yinshang turned her wheel and came to the end of the stone steps. She waved her hand at the dense clouds below the mountain. Suddenly, there was a violent wind around her. The violent mountain breeze was blowing, making people's clothes crackling, but also blowing away. After removing the clouds and mist under the mountain, in just a few short time, the clouds and mist under the mountain were scattered, revealing the scenery on the mountain road.

Nier looked at the mountain road she rushed up, and saw that there were no organs or weapons along the stone steps, and there were only seven mottled and shabby archway gates, either stone or wood carvings. The only common feature is that it is old. They are all covered with moss. Not only are the paint on the pillars mottled and peeled off, the calligraphy and paintings above them are already blurred, and even the uppermost archway has cracked corners.

The Qimen Dunjia in Bailudong is best at using the enchantment array. A few apricot and yellow flags and a few dilapidated gates are enough to form a powerful array, so that those who look down on it will suffer a big loss. Nier used her Tianxin consciousness to sense, and wanted to try to confirm whether these memorial arches were connected with the vitality of heaven and earth. When someone touched it, she would counterattack with natural elements, but I don’t know if what she learned was not good enough. No matter how she did it, she would feel it. Less than these few archways have any natural power to connect.

"The seven ancient gates are not connected to natural energy. The method to pass through it has just been told to you."

The lady in Yinshang smiled and said: "As long as you really want to go up the mountain, you can definitely go up the mountain. Of course, the same goes for going down the mountain. As long as you feel tired of staying here, you can go down at any time."

"Just... how simple it is? How can it be?"

"It's that simple. I just don't understand, why no one would believe what can be done so easily."

"But, isn't this the place for the prisoners at Bailudong Pass? If it is so simple to go down the mountain, then all the prisoners will be gone?"

"Heh, because when the Yansuo Chonglou was still imprisoning a large number of prisoners, the rules of the seven-fold gate were not like this, but that all those who wanted to go up and down the peak could not get up and down."

Nier became confused as she listened to her. Fortunately, the lady in Yinshang explained to her that this seven-fold portal was the highest achievement of the Qimen Dunjia in Bailu Cave. The Taoist Dan Luo, who was founded before the Battle of Kyushu, now has techniques. Has been lost.

In that era when the power of heaven and earth has not been widely used, people do not have a thorough understanding of the vitality of heaven and earth today, and Bailu Cave has not been able to lay the magic array to draw the vitality of heaven and earth. Its power is limited. The Daoist Dan Luo is ingenious and arranges. The formation method takes another shortcut. First, calculate the birth date and racial descent of the intruder with ladder detection, and then lock the soul of the intruder, draw out the strength of the intruder to fight back, and use the strength to hit ten. Five doubles, no matter how many troops are attacking, they can't break through the peak.

During the Battle of Kyushu, the demons killed Bailu Cave several times, and the Confucian scholars in the academy were unable to resist. . Later, because Lu You lived and practiced in a secluded area in the Thousand Snow Valley, other people were forbidden to go up to the peak, and even Yansuozhonglou was designated as a forbidden area.

"When the Yanshou Tower became a forbidden area, the seven-door circle was activated for a long time. The effect of the circle was the same as that of the Kyushu War. Anyone who wanted to rush to the summit to save or kill people, or from Those who escaped from prison at the peak, halfway through the seven gates, will draw their own strength and frustrate themselves. Some get into trouble, some are seriously injured and die. The higher the martial arts, the stronger the obsession. The more I can’t go up, I can’t come down."

"So vicious? Isn't the prisoners imprisoned like this equal to life imprisonment?"

"Neither. When the prisoners give up escaping, all thoughts are ashamed, and they are willing to stay in the smoke-locked building with peace of mind, and repent of what they have done in life, they can walk through the magic circle." Yin Changli said: "It's just that time, They usually don’t want to go down the mountain at all, so often they don’t have a chance to know this secret."

"It's really the despicable formation of Bailudong, so what's going on now? I just ran up as soon as I ran, and I was not hindered at all!"

"Oh, I said this just now, because the direction of the formation has changed."

The formation of the magic circle was created before the Tianwei era. When the warrior of the day appeared with powerful destructive power, the effect of this defensive circle was greatly reduced. Since the Battle of Kyushu, Lu You took over the power of Bailudong. , Changed the course of action. Serious prisoners no longer need to be sentenced to life imprisonment. All of them will be slaughtered on the spot to save trouble, so that when the Kyushu War is repeated, the prisoners will escape and help the demons attack Bailu Cave. It was not until the Tang Dynasty incident two thousand years later that a new owner moved in.

After the Tang Guo incident, Li Yujian tried the world, and sooner or later he would kill Bailu Cave. In view of this, Lu You asked Gong Jin to change the formation of the back mountain. When Li Yu came to Bailu Cave, let him Try to break into battle.

"Ah! This is a great trick."

When Nier heard this, she couldn't help but applaud. Li Yu’s martial arts is almost invincible. Not to mention that time, even now, no one in the Continent of Wind would dare to boast that he could take her a sword steadily. If Bailu Cave uses a powerful magic circle to go. To deal with him, even if you use the Million Sword Formation in Zhongdu City, I'm afraid it will rush him, splitting a sword in half.

However, the formation of the back mountain is different. It does not rely on strength to defend, but with ingenious design, it provokes the demon of the intruder and leads to a backlash of strength. It may not be useful to deal with the rest of the heavenly warriors, especially the warriors who have practiced magic power such as Gengoro and Oda Ka, who are determined and can use magic to counter magic. This enchantment formation will probably not work.

However, for Li Yu at the time, an arrogant warrior who was extremely powerful but whose Tianxin consciousness was so inferior that he was almost mentally retarded, this enchantment was more than powerful. It was just a death that hit him, I'm afraid he just set foot on it. On the third step, his straight line mentality has been clearly detected by the magic circle, and it couldn't be easier.

"But, what did they change this circle into? I just ran up right away!"

"At this point...it can only be said that he did not worship the wrong master. Grandmaster Lu You is not only unparalleled, but he is indeed a person who knows him well."

Lu You is too aware of how many unfavorable flaws this passionate and indignant disciple hides in his artistic poet character, so he reversed the formation and turned it into "As long as he really wants to go up the mountain, he must go I have to go; but if there is a trace of doubt in my heart and I do not want to go up the mountain, I will definitely not go up."

It sounds like a kid’s gadget, but Li Yu, who tried to climb the mountain, was always blocked by his own power. No matter how he ran, he was shocked back by his own power. When he drew his sword in anger, He wanted to forcefully break through the magic circle with the Three Heavens Sword Slash, but he was hit back by the power of Sword Slash, and he was immediately hit hard.

When Li Yu fell back to the starting point of the stone steps, Gong Jin, who was staying there, lightly told him how the circle works and why he couldn’t get past it. Li Yu became a crazy tiger and broke in. Thousand Snow Valley next to it.

With crazy emotions in his mind, Li Yu’s only thought is to die together, but anger, grief, shame, self-blame... a variety of emotions turned into a demon, making him more mad, and at the same time more powerful swordsmanship , He also revealed his flaws, and what Lone Sword was waiting for him in the ice and snow was Lu You, who had already reduced his mood and raised his spirit to the peak state.

Leng Jian broke the violent waves and broke through the sky for three days. At the cost of serious internal injuries, Lu You beautifully defeated the broken disciple who was more powerful than himself at that time. If it were not for Lu You’s mercy, he could even kill Li Yu with the last sword. There will never be future troubles. Of course, he wouldn’t do that, because he had already spent too much energy and effort to cultivate this disciple to become a “talent”. Even when this disciple escaped from prison by death, he was secretly monitored along the way to ensure that he He won't die because of this. Seeing that the cultivation has achieved results, let alone kill him, even if he wants to commit suicide, Lu You will not allow it.

Li Yu was defeated, dragged a severely wounded body, returned to the stairway where the depth of the cloud did not end, staring at the seven-layer ancient gatehouse that suddenly appeared, if he was thinking, just like this for five days and five nights, no He couldn't eat, and finally he screamed and screamed for nine days, sorrowing into the clouds, he vomited blood and walked away in the long howling.

It was also the grief and whistle that shook all directions that made Li Yu's journey into Bailu Cave alone and the battle for land tour known to outsiders, but people only speculate on the fact that Li Yu was defeated, as for the process of fighting and how to defeat him. The reason, but only a few parties know.

"...It turned out to be like this, Li Lao Er is really defeated..."

Nier hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to say that the defeat was good or not. Although in my opinion, this battle is really despicable, but if Gengoro is here, he will probably say that this is the right way of war. All sorts of methods weaken the enemy's strength, take action at the moment when the enemy is weakest, defeat the strong with the weak, and win the most beautiful.

No more words, Nier looked at the seven gate towers gradually covered by clouds, thinking that she had come up so easily just now, but she was out of reach of Li Yu back then. That kind of mood and feeling filled her heart. There is an unspeakable melancholy, but there seems to be something that is hard to explain...

Suddenly, Nier thought of a question. Why did Li Yu insist on rushing up the mountain in the first place? Is there something on the mountain that makes him want to break through? Why did he have doubts in his heart that caused him to fail to rush up in the end?

When Nier asked this question, the lady in Yin Chang shook her head and smiled bitterly, and slowly explained the reason.

"Because... I was already living on the mountain at that time, and he came for me."

A simple sentence shocked Nier, and she also remembered that in Li Yu's sword fairy myth, a key figure had been missing for a long time and never appeared in front of others. He has become a mystery that people are puzzled and rumored.

The key person is a woman, her name is...

"My name is Zhou Jiamin. I am a woman who is responsible for taking care of the cigarettes and repentance of her sins."

※※※

Jin'ao Island emerged above El Tienor, flying fast towards Zhongdu. This matter has been passed on to the various forces on the Continent of Wind through various intelligence organizations.

Whether it is a heavenly warrior or ordinary ordinary people, in their eyes, the magnificent Jinao Island flying in the sky is like a giant ship that never sinks, sailing smoothly in the blue sky; especially in To those who are unable to fly to the sky, Jin'ao Island simply represents a metaphor for God and is irresistible. It's just that the meaning of this stalwart thing is to save the world or destroy the world, no one can tell.

This is the feeling of looking up from below, but people on Jin'ao Island have no time to enjoy the fun of looking down. Instead, they are in a dull atmosphere.

Actually, there are not many people on Jin'ao Island. Apart from the simple team of Primordial Magic Technicians, there are only Zhu Yan and Hao Kelian. As for Gong Jin, since the battle of Shangri-La, 90% of the time has been in retreat, accidentally. It is also rare to have a few words with his subordinates when he shows up.

Zhu Yan's support for Gong Jin is not just pure subordinate loyalty, but also includes his admiration for Gong Jin himself and his pursuit of Gong Jin's ideals. He still remembers that when Gongjin talked to him about future plans, he said that the demons would invade the world, which is certainly not good; but Bailudong’s current countermeasures against the demons are not a long-term security strategy. What way to find a better way out for the two peoples.

"My deceased wife, may appear as a demon in the future, so I do not hate the demon. I hope to work with you to change the world now."

These words touched Yulong who was learning art at that time? Zhu Yan, who was under Beethoven, decided to dedicate his skills and knowledge to this. It was also for these reasons that he relentlessly supported Gong Jin, but these feelings gradually began to collapse.

In recent meetings with Lord Gong Jin, Zhu Yan felt pressure, and once even sweated coldly on his back, because the cold murderous aura exuding from Lord Gong Jin was so strong that even the demons felt afraid and didn’t want to Close to this man full of death breath.

The previous Master Gong Jin was not like that. Although he never opened his heart to others, he was not a cold man. Otherwise, how could the soldiers and civilians in the northwestern region love him so much? When he was with his subordinates, he was gentle and gentle, and he was completely a gentleman. He would occasionally take the initiative to tell jokes and express care for his subordinates without a trace. People liked him very much.

When did Mr. Gong Jin start to change like this?

Zhu Yan is a little confused about this issue, but he must have made this divergence obvious the fuse appeared in Shangri-La, after that, everything seems to be wrong...

The reason Zhu Yan was aware of this problem was because Gong Jin found him yesterday and asked him to closely monitor the movements of Zhongdu. Previously, because His Royal Highness Xu Liewu was in charge of the Central Government, the surveillance system of Jinao Island was not in that direction. Although Lord Gong Jin did not make it clear yesterday, he clearly showed his distrust of Xu Liewu. Therefore, we must strengthen our guard.

This made Zhu Yan feel a little surprised. Could it be that even this only friend has become untrustworthy, and that he has become a rat in the street, everyone shouting and beating?

However, the job he is performing now is not monitoring the capital city, but a new order given by Gong Jin this morning. Gong Jin ordered a thorough search of Jin'ao Island before arriving in Zhongdu. Because of the explosion of the previous war, there are still many areas inside Jin'ao Island that are only closed without careful treatment, and perhaps there is still some danger hidden. Objects are not necessarily.

Zhu Yan does not think this speculation is too much worry. After all, Lord Gong Jin now has the cultivation base of Zhai Tian, ​​his Tianxin consciousness may be more useful than technology scanning, and the effect of that command is also revealed at this moment. , A certain area in the search suddenly lit up with a flash, indicating a vital reaction.

"Life reaction? Confirm your life form immediately!"

Zhu Yan's order was passed on, and the electronic device quickly sent back the answer very conscientiously. After confirmation, the life reaction came from a certain human being.

"Master Gong Jin is like a god, and there is something weird in Jin'ao Island. The blue turban warrior is dispatched to deal with the target!"

Zhu Yan released the blue-scarf warrior, preparing for them to clean up the unknown elements, but as soon as the order was delivered, the bright spot of the life reaction suddenly disappeared. When it appeared again, it had moved about a hundred feet and left the blue. Towel Lux's blockade net.

"What is the sacred speed of such a fast speed?"

Zhu Yan looked at the flashing light on the screen and was shocked at the speed of the incoming people, but he soon discovered another problem. The speed of the incoming people is not only fast, but also the figure is erratic. They have continuously broken through the blockade of several heavy artillery fires and the turban warriors. This skill is not simple, and more importantly, according to the light spot. The route, the end point is where Master Gong Jin's retreat is.

"I can't stop it, I have to notify Master Gong Jin immediately."

When Zhu Yan discovered an abnormal intruder, Gong Jin was retreating in a secluded chamber in the center of Jin'ao Island. After the previous battle with Wang Wu, he spent most of his time here, using the Primordial Magic Way to practice.

All the values ​​of the celestial warriors on the land of the wind are input into the system, analyzed and summarized by the artificial intelligence of Jinao Island, and finally outputted with virtual images to become the opponent of the simulation war. This special program called "Purgatory Dao" helped Gong Jin to practice extremely arduously, allowing him to organize and comprehend what he had learned from the battle against Wang Wu in the shortest possible time, and merge it into his own martial arts. Learn, and break through the strong position.

However, the calculation scope of this system is not limited to warriors. It can also sort out and speculate many things that have nothing to do with humans. During the retreat, Gong Jin can get a lot of news that the Bailudong intelligence system can’t know, some of them The intelligence made him care very much, watching the scene predicted by the system over and over again.

When Zhu Yan’s notification message came, Gong Jin was gazing at the scenes on several floating screens. No mood swings could be seen in the frowning brows, but after hearing an intruder coming over here , He closed a few screens, ready to deal with incoming people.

To have such a superb speed, the person who came should not be an ordinary person. The speed of the movement is very similar to the Jiu Yao speed. Is it possible that the person who came is Oda Xiang? Or Gengoro Amano? If it was Amano Gengoro, this possibility would have improved a lot, because he had disappeared without a trace since the Shangri-La battle, and his life and death was unknown. He also ordered the search because he suspected that he might be hiding on Jinao Island to heal his injuries.

The speed of the incoming people was so fast that it didn’t take long to get rid of all the chasing machinery and came to Gong Jin’s retreat. Through the heavy metal gate, Gong Jin still felt the pressure brought by the enemy. , It’s really not an ordinary enemy, but...

(This feeling...could it be...)
