Chapter 687: Desireless Heaven
Volume 3 Ding Feng Bo
Chapter 687 Wu Yu Tian
…
The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind blew up the dry grass on the roadside, whistling past, adding a bit of biting cold to the wilderness.
It had just rained heavily last night, and the mountain road was still a bit muddy, with messy horse hoof prints and wheel tracks everywhere.
There was no town or village within a radius of dozens of miles. There was only a simple tavern built beside the ancient road at the foot of the mountain for merchants to rest.
The tavern was not big, with a total of two floors, barely withstanding the bitter wind and rain in the mountains. At this time, there were about a dozen carriages outside, parked randomly on the road.
The usually deserted tavern, for some reason, had so many guests today. The first and second floors were full. The shopkeeper and the only waiter had been busy since morning and had not eaten anything yet. Today, all the guests were from the underworld. They were afraid that if they took good care of the guests on the first floor, they would offend the guests on the second floor.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud bang startled everyone in the tavern. The tavern, which was noisy a moment ago, suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that a bearded man put the wine bowl heavily on the table and smashed it.
The shopkeeper's surname was Xu, and he was an honest man. He was afraid that he had offended this gentleman, so he asked in a low voice, "Sir, is the wine not to your liking?"
"Shopkeeper, it has nothing to do with you!"
The man suddenly stood up, but he was a little drunk. An old man in green clothes beside him also stood up immediately and supported him, "Second Master, what's wrong?"
"Hmph!"
The bearded man flicked his sleeves heavily and said, "Now the world is in chaos, natural disasters continue, and bandits are rampant, but the tyrant king has made the evil Taoist the national teacher. He doesn't care about the people all day long, but asks ghosts and gods. He also increases taxes every year, making the people live in misery and starving everywhere. Tell me, is it infuriating or not!"
When these words came out, everyone in the tavern was shocked. If this word spread to the capital and the national teacher heard it, I'm afraid that ten heads would be in danger, and maybe nine clans would be implicated. Fortunately, this is a mountainous place, so it doesn't matter anyway.
"Alas..."
At this moment, a long sigh came from the other table. It was an old man with white hair and beard. He stroked his white beard and shook his head and sighed, "Ten years ago, it was not like this..."
When the three words "ten years ago" were heard, the people in the whole tavern became even quieter. The dark clouds outside gradually enveloped the whole tavern, making the atmosphere of the whole tavern suddenly become heavier.
"Old sir, tell me, what happened ten years ago?"
Just when it was quiet, suddenly, a voice as clear as a silver bell sounded on the second floor. Hearing this voice, everyone immediately looked up and saw a girl in light red clothes sitting upstairs.
But the girl was born with jade and delicate, eyes like water, about eighteen years old, full of a youthful and lively breath, which formed a sharp contrast with the rough men who were drunk in the tavern. But I don't know why such a beautiful and lovely girl would appear in this tavern in the mountains.
Everyone was a little surprised. The girl looked like she was single and so beautiful. Now the world is in chaos, isn't she afraid of meeting bad guys? If the people of the Demon Sect run into her, the consequences will be disastrous.
The white-haired old man who spoke earlier stared at her, stroked his beard and said, "I think the girl is at most 18 years old. Ten years ago, the girl was still young, so she naturally didn't know. If we want to talk about this, I'm afraid we have to start from Xuanqingmen..."
Hearing the three words "Xuanqingmen", everyone was even more respectful to the old man, thinking that he knew about Xuanqingmen, so he must have a deep background, right? At this time, a middle-aged man with black hair asked, "Old sir, were you there in person and saw that incident?"
"No, no, no..."
The white-haired old man shook his hand and said, "I was born in the mountains, how could I have seen it with my own eyes? I just heard it from a friend.
"Oh? "Everyone was still full of respect at this time, thinking that his friend must not be an ordinary person? He even knew about the things in the Xuanmen of cultivation.
At this time, everyone listened to him attentively. He stroked his beard slowly and said, "More than 20 years ago, Fairy Miaoyin accepted a disciple named Xiao Yichen. Do you know where this Xiao Xiao came from?"
"This..."
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. Some people who didn't know anything about the Xuanmen also pretended to be in deep thought. After a while, a middle-aged man said half-doubtfully, "I heard that Xiao Xiao seemed to have been saved by Fairy Miaoyin that year, and later worshipped Fairy Miaoyin as his teacher..."
"That's right. ”
The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, “With the talent of this young friend Xiao, he would have achieved great success in the future. However, things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that he would later meet a girl whose background is extraordinary. She is actually the palace master of the Demon Cult…”
Hearing this, everyone in the tavern put down their glasses at the same time, with solemn expressions and silence.
The old man continued, “That time, Tianmen captured the girl, and Xiao Xiao had to rescue her. It was at that time that the various sects of the Demon Cult suddenly attacked. At that time, the eight elders of Tianmen were all seriously injured. Even among the three real people, one died and two were seriously injured. As for the people of other sects, the casualties were countless. It can be seen how tragic that battle was…”
Hearing what he said, everyone was sighing. Regarding what happened back then, Shen Cangming pretended to be Zhenren Youlan and was in charge of Tianmen for three hundred years. This incident had too great an impact, so at that time, Tianmen had asked all factions not to However, such a big thing can only be concealed from these people in the mortal world. As for the good and the evil, who doesn't know what really happened that year?
The white-haired old man sighed again and said with emotion, "It is precisely because of the catastrophe of the righteous path ten years ago that not only Tianmen, but the entire righteous path was severely damaged. Therefore, in these years, the evil path has become more and more rampant, harassing the people everywhere, and the government has also Inaction, alas..."
"fart!"
At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the tavern, "Are there less scum in the righteous way?"
This sudden sound made everyone in the tavern startled. When they came back to their senses, they saw a middle-aged man in black suddenly walking in from outside. The man's face was cold, and it made people feel... There was an inexplicable fear. Behind him, there were four other people traveling with him.
But he didn't know who these five people were. Shopkeeper Xu was also startled. He quickly cleared a table and said with a smile, "Five gentlemen, please come in!"
"snort!"
The middle-aged man in black flicked his sleeves and walked towards his seat. He said abruptly, "Tianmen has been secretly hiding traitors for three hundred years. Needless to say, Xuanqingmen seems to be open and aboveboard, but it is not always good." thing!"
Hearing him so unabashedly belittling the righteous way, everyone was stunned. They were all in the world, so they didn't know what happened in Xuanmen. However, in the Xuanmen of cultivating immortals, everyone was like a god. He is a person who protects the people and protects the peace of the people. How come he became so miserable when he came into the mouth of this person?
At this time, another voice sounded, "Let's not talk about Tianmen. You said that the people in Xuanqingmen are not good people. Could it be that you have met all the seven Xuanqing sects?"
Everyone was stunned again. The person speaking was none other than the girl wearing light red clothes on the second floor.
The middle-aged man in black looked towards the second floor, and two cold gleams suddenly shot out from his eyes. Such a cold gaze, not to mention an 18-year-old girl, even those who have been wandering around the world here are scared. .
But at this time, the girl in red clothes met his gaze without avoiding it, with a smile on her face: "If you have seen the seven nobles Xuan Qing, tell me, what are the seven nobles inside?" Who is the most capable? And if you have never seen the seven lords, how can you say this nonsense?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt even more suffocated, and their hearts were in suspense, thinking that this person is not simple at first sight. You are a little girl, don't talk uncontrollably and cause trouble!
The middle-aged man in black stared at her, and after a long time, he said coldly, "According to me, among the seven people in the Xuanqing Sect, none of them are capable! Otherwise, how could they tolerate Wuyutian all these years?" Growing prosperous? If you really have the ability, why not destroy the Wuyu Heaven in one fell swoop?"
At this moment, the whole tavern became even more noisy. Everyone was stunned and silent, and even their breathing seemed to have stopped. Even though they were just martial arts people in this mortal world and had never been involved in the matters of good and evil in the world of cultivation. But when I heard the words "Wuyu Tian", I felt as if I had fallen into a cold abyss. At this moment, there was only endless fear, slowly filling everyone's hearts.
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a thunder, and it started pouring rain again outside. Only then did everyone come back to their senses, but they still felt chills coming to their hearts.
At this time, next to the middle-aged man in black, a man in Tsing Yi whispered a few words into his ear. He didn't know what he said before he slowly sat down and stopped talking.
The girl on the second floor also sat back at this moment and said nothing more. It was raining heavily outside and the sky was getting darker and darker. I didn't know how long it would rain.
None of the martial arts people in the tavern continued to talk about the topic just now. It seemed that everyone had some scruples at this moment. People who even the emperor dared to scold were sober at this time, but they did not dare to discuss it. Anything related to the Desireless Heaven.
It turns out that in the past ten years, an extremely huge force has emerged in the world, named Wuyutian. In just ten years, especially in recent years, it has conquered dozens of demonic sects, large and small, and even some Some Taoist sects bowed to him.
The three words "Wuyutian" are now as taboo in both the righteous path and the demonic path. No one dares to mention it easily, and no one dares to talk about its merits.
