Too Reckless

The autumn rain has not stopped for several days, and by the roaring Tuolong River, the old iron chain bridge swayed in the wind and rain.

Three figures dressed as loose cultivators were walking on the bridge deck with their bucket hats; the plump female cultivator in the back was holding a white hair ball in her arms, and the little girl in front was carrying a black iron lute, gossiping with each other:

"Across the bridge is the Barren Bone Beach. I've been here before. I learned the craft of prospecting and gold mining here, but unfortunately I didn't find anything good..."

"Qiu Tao, you came across the sea from Beishou Continent. You have been to all the immortal gates, and you know a lot of great people. You know everything about playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, prospecting, reading Feng Shui, storytelling, wine, tea, and Yuyao. Continent, I walked around from south to north..."

"Yeah, I'm not bragging..."

"I didn't say you were bragging, it was you who said you were sixteen the year before..."

"Uh... I remember it early~ I crossed the sea at the age of three, I went to the Juejian Xianzong to watch swords and immortals at the age of four, and at the age of five I went to the ancestral home of the Taoist family to listen to the teachings of the palm..."

Xie Qiutao pinned her fingers and counted carefully, but found that she still couldn't finish walking, her round face froze, and she began to count again on a monthly basis...

Zuo Lingquan walked between the two, shaking his head and chuckling, without teasing Taotao. After all, in his eyes, Qiutao will always be a 16-year-old pink and tender girl, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Listening to the two chatting, Zuo Lingquan looked at the other end of the chain bridge.

A few days ago in the Yushuwan Courtyard, the ancestor suddenly came over to send a message, saying that Venerable Peach Blossom had asked him to come to Barren Bone Beach, saying that there was a change here.

Jiang Yi and Qingwan were naturally reluctant to set foot on the road of cultivation when they reunited just now, but because they wanted to accompany Lingye to continue visiting the Xianjia sect, they couldn't follow him, so they could only hug him reluctantly and talk one night of love.

During the period, Qingwan also asked him to come back early, saying that he would give him a surprise; Jiang Yi was also afraid that he would be gone for another half a year, and even gritted his teeth and agreed, saying, "Aunt Lingye can do it, I can't do it? Isn't it the tail..." .

With such a dazzling promise in his ears, Zuo Lingquan naturally returned to his heart like an arrow, and ran over quickly, thinking about a quick solution and finishing the work.

But Venerable Peach Blossom is not reliable at all.

Let the ancestors say that there is a change in Barren Bone Beach, but without the slightest hint, he doesn't even know what he is doing here.

Zuo Lingquan followed the usual routes to inquire at the nearby scattered cultivators gathering places, only to hear that the Barren Bone Beach was not very safe in recent days, and found nothing else.

For this reason, Zuo Lingquan could only take two girls and go directly to the Barren Bone Beach to check on the spot.

Although the Barren Bone Beach is a barren land, there are not many small and scattered cultivators who come to mine stones on weekdays. People on the east side of the Tuolong River, who can't ride the wind and swords, have to cross this old iron chain bridge.

At this time, at the other end of the chain bridge, there were dozens of small casual repairers in different clothes, both men and women, carrying probes and pickaxes on their shoulders, chatting and negotiating in the rain:

"There can be monsters where the bird doesn't poop? What do monsters eat?"

"Eat someone like you who doesn't believe in evil. The Immortal Master said that he has it, so why do you ask so many..."

...

In front of the crowd, stood two young men in military uniforms, with waist badges with the word 'Qu' on their waists, carrying swords with them, and standing on the bridge with their hands behind their backs.

The two of them looked at the spirit valley the most, and it wasn't enough to just rely on the aristocratic family brand on their waists, but it was also enough to keep the small scattered cultivators looking like duckweeds away.

Xie Qiutao came to Qiaotou, stood behind the crowd and looked at it, and asked politely:

"Master Immortal, are you not allowed in today?"

The two disciples of the Qu family who were guarding the iron bridge were polite, but they could not avoid the condescension of the Daoist Immortal Master when facing the loose cultivator, and responded flatly:

"A monster appeared in the Bone Bone Beach, running around and killing people. The elders are eliminating the monster. Come back in a few days."

The Qu family built a quarry in the Barren Bone Beach, and often pulled ivy stones to load and unload by the riverside. The small scattered cultivators walking around were not unfamiliar with him, and most of them turned around and left when they heard it.

Zuo Lingquan was a little suspicious about this - he had just met the people of the Qu family in Qianqiu Yuefu, and the Peach Blossom Lord won a famous qin from the Qu family and ran to the deserted bone beach thousands of miles away. , It's really strange to meet someone from the Qu family again.

The world is so big, and the chance of a coincidence is very slim. Zuo Lingquan felt that Venerable Peach Blossom asked him to come over, and the probability is related to the "monster" that the Qu family said.

Thinking of this, Zuo Lingquan didn't startle the snake, and returned to the east bank with the two girls who pretended to be traveling. They found a quiet place, and Yufeng directly crossed the river.

Entering the interior of the Bone Bone Beach, Zuo Lingquan did some research and found that there were monks from the Qu family patrolling the hundreds of miles from the iron cable bridge to the deep quarry, persuading monks who approached accidentally, and some people looking around. Looking for it, it seems that he is really chasing the trail of the monster.

Zuo Lingquan didn't find the whereabouts of the monster, and he wasn't sure about the truth of the Qu family's move, so he looked at the most capable dumpling and asked:

"Tuan'er, are there any demons and ghosts here?"

The dumpling squatted in Tang Jingshen's arms, and after looking around for a long time at a loss, Little Wing pointed to an unnamed swamp a hundred miles away:

"grumble!"

On the way to the quarry, Xie Qiutao found the swamp. There were only a few remnants of birds and beasts in it, not even ghosts. The Qu family did not go anywhere. She shook her head and said:

"It's a powerful monster, a very fierce one, isn't there?"

Tuanzi looked left and right again, spread out his wings, and gestured—this place is cleaner than mother’s legs and has no hair at all, where are the monsters and ghosts?

Zuo Lingquan's thinking is similar to that of Tuanzi, and when he has no way to start, he turns around and goes to the Nameless Swamp:

"Let's go and see..."

...

----

In the depths of the barren bone beach, the swamp underground.

The stone sculpture of auspicious beasts drags the lampstand, and the fire of the ever-bright lamp illuminates the stone gate of the mausoleum.

On the underground plaza with scribbles everywhere, three figures stood in front of the tall tomb gate, and four unconscious formation masters were lying on the steps in front of them.

Qu Qianchen, the head of the Qu family, who was in the middle of the three, carefully observed the four formation masters on the ground after putting his hands together:

"Bewitched by the magic of the soul, it is difficult to wake up in a dream, the person who casts the magic is either a demon, or a fairy..."

The white-haired old man standing on the side of Qu Ganchen is Qu Ganchen's brother: "This matter is a bit strange, if a party of immortals comes to seize the opportunity, even if they don't kill people, they should take away the contents of the mausoleum; If it is not turned on, will it be impossible to break the formation and go back to find reinforcements?"

Standing on the other side is Deacon Zheng of the Pofeng City Pill Warehouse, and the four formation masters are his disciples. After observing the traces around him, he set his eyes on the tomb door:

"I don't think so. If someone wants to mobilize reinforcements, they won't stun the four disciples. I guess it's the disciple who cracked the formation and accidentally touched the mechanism in the mausoleum.

Qu Qianchen felt that this possibility was more likely, nodded and said:

"If someone wants to take food from the tiger's mouth, a few days have passed, and the reinforcements should have arrived..."

thump—

While he was talking, there were a few soft sounds above the underground plaza—the vigilance formation in the swamp was triggered.

The faces of the three people in the conversation were all condensed, and their breath was suppressed.

The second master of the Qu family secretly said that it was not good, and said in a low voice: "Someone broke in. If an expert at the Immortal Venerable level came with reinforcements, the three of us might not be opponents..."

Deacon Zheng shook his head: "The last time I came in, it was silent. How can I touch the formation now when I come in? It is estimated that they are not the same group of people."

Qu Qianchen didn't count on the two dog-headed military advisors, and raised his hand slightly:

"The comers are not good, you first take the formation master out with the technique of earth escape, and quickly inform the ancestors of Shuangfeng to come, I will delay for some time."

"Okay."

...

------

The rain was continuous, and the poisonous miasma was everywhere.

Zuo Lingquan hung his sword on his waist and floated forward silently in the mist of the swamp, paying attention to the clues on the ground.

Because the Yin Qi was too heavy and the spiritual energy fluctuated in disorder, the souls of many birds and beasts gathered but did not disperse, and the perception was greatly affected, and it was impossible to judge the situation more than a hundred feet away.

Xie Qiutao had more experience in exploring treasures in the secret realm than Zuo Lingquan. At this time, he became the leader of the three. He searched in the swamp, groped for a long time, and stopped in the depths of the swamp, his eyes half buried in the mud. An inconspicuous dead tree, and then made a 'shush' gesture.

Zuo Lingquan and Tang Jing froze in the air, holding their breath.

Xie Qiutao took out a pole made of a stone formation from Linglong Pavilion, which looked like a small purse. After observing for a long time near the dead wood, he inserted the pole into the mud.

Zuo Lingquan knew that this move was to interfere with the operation of the vigilance formation to avoid being discovered by the opponent, so he did not make a sound.

"This breaks the formation?"

Xie Qiutao separated the mud below with his true energy and dived underground: "If it doesn't break, it has already been discovered, hurry in. Don't underestimate this, I have been a guest in Yingyang Immortal Palace for a long time, and I have only learned from an old man. It is learned from the hands of the formation master, fifteen hours on stage, ten years off stage..."

Zuo Lingquan naturally knows that breaking the formation is not just about sticking a stick in it. The formation is mostly adaptable to the environment. Even if it is exactly the same, the position of the gate and the formation will also change. A mistake will trigger the formation, which requires a lot of accumulation of previous knowledge.

Xie Qiutao's stick, it's not an exaggeration to say that he has ten years of skill, but the effect will be known only later.

In a word, the three of them had already crossed the swamp and came to the underground cave below.

Xie Qiutao held the iron pipa upside down, and after carefully looking left and right for a while, he shrugged slightly:

"No one came out, infiltrated successfully."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan was a little suspicious of Taotao's level of breaking the formation, so he did not take it lightly, and let Xie Qiutao and Jingxun pay attention to the rear, and he slowly entered the ancient underground cave.

The cave house is made of special masonry. Thousands of years have passed, the main structure has not changed, but the useful things inside have been taken away, and only the stone base of the Dan furnace can be seen. The three carefully paid attention to their surroundings, and soon came to the storage room at the back of the cave. The opening on the ground was not sealed, and the fire below could be seen.

Zuo Lingquan raised his finger slightly, looked down from the entrance of the cave, and was shocked when he saw the majestic underground mausoleum, but he looked around on the underground square and found no trace.

Xie Qiutao looked at the giant tomb gate several dozen feet high, his eyes full of surprise, and said in a voice that only Zuo Lingquan could hear:

"I can't tell if there are immortal soldiers in such a grand tomb. The Qu family must be secretly digging this."

Tang Jingxuan covered the mouth of the dumpling, thought for a while and whispered:

"Are we going to kill people and steal treasures?"

Xie Qiutao hurriedly shook his head: "What about killing people and stealing treasures? Let's see if the Qu family is secretly doing something wrong. If there is, let's eliminate the evil and capture the spoils; if not, help them to cooperate in development and share the account after the fact."

"Oh...we're seven?"

...

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and smiled when he heard the two girls joking.

Because of the vague memories of the past, Zuo Lingquan was not very keen on digging other people's graves to obtain treasures from heaven and earth.

The monk deliberately left the mantle behind in seclusion, waiting for future generations to pick it up, and Zuo Lingquan would naturally take it; but the door said 'death to trespassers', obviously he did not want people to disturb the old man who was sleeping underground. See, he might be gone.

However, Venerable Peach Blossom asked the old ancestor to pass a message and asked him to come here, and the matter must be checked.

Zuo Lingquan carefully sensed it for a long time, but when he didn't see any movement in the ground, he landed on the underground square together and looked around.

Tuanzi was also very alert at this time, squatting on Tang Jingshen's shoulders, and after observing the surroundings for a while, he pointed his wings to the back of a sacred beast Baize stone sculpture:

"grumble!"

The three people's faces condensed, and they looked at the stone sculpture more than ten feet high at the same time.

The breath of the underground palace also stagnated.

Zuo Lingquan pressed the hilt of the sword, looked carefully for a moment, and said:

"Come out."

click... click...

Metal rubbing sounded.

Behind the stone sculpture of the beast, a figure in armor walked out.

The figure is burly, the body is covered with scarlet armor, the face is wearing a hideous mask, the chest is a beast face goggles, the hands are also covered with armor plates, and all five fingers are protruding with sharp blades. A devil.

Zuo Lingquan frowned slightly when he saw this iron-skinned bastard's appearance. Judging from the weather, the opponent's combat strength was probably not low, and he said:

"Your Excellency is Qu Qianchen, the head of the Qu family?"

?

The figure in red armor, with a slightly condensed momentum, spoke in a low voice:

"Young hero has good eyesight, who are you?"

Zuo Lingquan's eyesight is not good either. There are all the children of the Qu family outside. There is an unknown powerhouse here, and he can't think of who it is except the ancestor of the Qu family.

Zuo Lingquan let go of the hilt first, and said calmly:

"Zuo Ci, I had a chat with the young master of the Qu family a few days ago."

Hearing the name of 'Sword Demon Zuo Ci', Qu Ganchen's face under the armor slightly condensed. After a while, the murderous aura floating around the body converged, and the mask faded on its own, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, and said with a kind smile:

"It turned out to be Zuo Jianxian, I have long admired."

Zuo Lingquan glanced left and right:

"Patriarch Qu is digging for treasures here?"

Qu Qianchen knew that the sword immortal in front of him had a strong background, and he naturally didn't want to make extra troubles if he was good at it. He walked slowly to the door of the tomb:

"Zuo Jianxian misunderstood. Qu was entrusted by the late teacher to guard the mausoleum. In recent years, he is arranging for repairs. A few days ago, an unknown expert broke in and knocked out the formation teacher invited by Qu. This matter But what did Zuo Jianxian's friend do?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what Venerable Peach Blossom did, so naturally he didn't understand who Qu Ganchen was talking about, he just responded:

"I heard that there are monsters here, come and have a look, I happened to find this place."

Xie Qiutao looked suspicious, observing the traces on the ground:

"Could Master Qu be guarding the mausoleum, right? The formation pattern here has obviously been passively passed..."

Qu Qianchen smiled, but not very friendly:

"Little girl, they are all practitioners, so why do you have to mention some words. This immortal king's mausoleum is left by the teacher. I took out the things left by my ancestors and used it to subsidize the family. I have a loss of personal morality, but this is a family matter of the Qu family; three A fellow Taoist can't just meddle in his own business, or try to get a piece of the pie, right?"

"..."

Xie Qiutao wanted to get a piece of the pie, but it didn't seem to make much sense to say it.

Zuo Lingquan is also a bit inexplicable - the Qu family digs the grave of their ancestors, no matter how wide he manages it, there is no reason to meddle in this kind of business; even if the tomb is not the Qu family, people find it first, according to the first-come, first-served rule , Ming grabbing is unreasonable, forcing dividends, no prejudice to get rich...

Senior Peach Blossom called me here, so it can’t be a wild practice who asked me to kill people and hunt for treasures…

While Zuo Lingquan was pondering, Jing Jing, who was standing beside him watching the play, suddenly spoke in a cold voice:

"Is Xianzun Zhankui your master?"

The tone is flat, but the momentum that is invincible in the world is undoubtedly revealed.

When Qu Ganchen heard the name, the corners of his eyes twitched, revealing a bit of horror. He stared at Tang Jing for a moment before raising his hand in a salute:

"Who is the senior?"

"You don't need to care who the deity is."

The ancestor of Shangguan looked at Qu Ganchen, who was under the steps, but seemed to be looking down:

"When you get this set of 'Immortal King Armor', there should be handwriting next to it, asking you to take away the chance, so don't disturb the place where he rests, or something similar, right?"

"..."

Qu Ganchen's expression was a bit stiff - after he found this cave mansion, the exercises he left behind did have similar handwriting, but it was written that he should not disturb the buildings of the underground cave mansion, otherwise he would be punished by heaven.

Qu Qianchen really didn't dare to dig randomly at that time, after all, he had enough chances that he couldn't eat it.

Later, when the opportunity was used up, he thought about coming back and rummaging around, and as a result, he dug up this underground palace.

The ancestor of Shangguan saw Qu Ganchen's eyes, and he already knew in his heart:

"Zhan Kui was a hermit master in Huajun Continent three thousand years ago, and the descendant of the ancient Zongmen Tianji Temple. The old man guessed that the person who discovered this cave house might be an insatiable greedy person, so he didn't tell you about the underground palace; you didn't listen. No matter what advice, after discovering the underground palace, it’s rare that you still don’t understand your master’s responsibilities?”

Qu Qianchen knew that the master who he had never met was the guardian of the mausoleum here, he thought about it and said:

"Three thousand years of vicissitudes, this underground palace has long been unknown, and it has lost its original meaning. If I don't open it, others will find it and open it..."

"You're right to open it, and it's right to take the chance inside, but it's not wrong to open the mausoleum on your own without knowing the details."

Ancestor Shangguan gestured to the mausoleum behind:

"This is the Temple of Suppression of Demons in ancient times, it was used to seal the demons. Your master is here, not for fear of people entering, but for fear that the things inside will be released. And you, even Pofeng City, have no ability to break the magic circle. Without knowing the details, forcibly opening the mausoleum with external force may lead to a catastrophe."

Qu Ganchen frowned, glanced behind his eyes, and was dubious about these words—he actually felt that this place was not like a mausoleum, it was too heavily guarded, and it didn’t look like a dead person’s grave at all; but because of this, he couldn’t wait. want to open.

"Even if it's true as the Taoist friend said, thousands of years have passed, the demon inside..."

The ancestor of Shangguan continued: "The demon inside is not dead. The deity will investigate it. If it is confirmed to be safe, the tomb will be opened, and you will be given a chance as a reward. But before that, you have to take off your armor. "

Qu Ganchen couldn't open the mausoleum at first, so he sold it to Pofeng City for a long time. Hearing that this female immortal could open the mausoleum, he was still a little happy, but before he had time to be happy, his face sank when he heard the following words:

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Your character is not good, for the sake of your immediate interests, you know the master's intentions, but you don't think about it, and you don't even have the patience to find out the details, so you havetily opened the demon seal~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The inheritance of the Tianji Temple is placed on you. If the incense is not completely cut off, it will also humiliate the reputation of the past."

The ancestor of Shangguan raised his head slightly: "Nian, since you have not made a big mistake, you will not be held accountable for your reckless behavior. But you have to hand over the inheritance of the Tianji Temple, and let this deity help Senior Zhan Kui find another successor."

Qu Qianchen's face sank like water, he spread his hands and sneered:

"Without the inheritance of the sect, what am I, Qu Ganchen? If you want to kill people and win treasures, just say it straight, why bother with these big truths?"

If the ancestor of Shangguan wanted to kill people and steal treasures, there was no need to talk so much nonsense.

Three thousand years ago, in the battle of pill stealing, countless immortal heroes came to help, and she fought side by side, and the people who could help at that time were all righteous people, and they were all her seniors and teachers.

The 'Immortal King Armor' worn by Qu Ganchen is the ancestor of Lingye's armor, and Lingye's armor was her battle armor back then. Mei Jinshui asked Zhan Kui to make it and gave her a gift. She also heard about the rumors of the Tianji Temple at that time.

The ancestor of Shangguan asked Qu Ganchen to take off the 'Immortal King Armor' because Qu Ganchen was too mercenary and reckless of the consequences, and he was not worthy of the inheritance of the Tianji Temple. Incense.

Qu Ganchen refused to let go, and the ancestor of Shangguan didn't say much, and his eyes gestured to Zuo Lingquan next to him:

"You were born as a loose cultivator, and you should understand that what you can hold is chance, and what you can't hold is doom. This deity will give you a chance. If you beat him today, it is considered that you will not disgrace your master's sect. Qualify for the 'Tianji Temple' signboard; if you can't beat it, you know what to do."

When Qu Qianchen heard this, his pupils shrank slightly...
