In the troubled times of the ten directions, the Martial Saint in the world!

In autumn, the wind is as cold as a knife and all the flowers fall.

A figure flashed across the wilderness, her clothes fluttering like a fleeting glance.

When she walked in the dark, she slowed down her pace, revealing a charming and charming face.

She is about twenty years old, full of vigor and youth, with a gorgeous and elegant face and simple makeup, giving her a feeling of "a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any embellishment".

She strolled through the dark wilderness, calm and leisurely, and her every move seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth, reflecting the principles of law.

She looks like a graceful lady from a noble family, or a fairy who has come to the world.

She walked deep in the wilderness, tiptoeing lightly.

The next moment, the figure disappeared between heaven and earth.

Deep in the underground palace where water was dripping, there were two figures.

  The one on the left was a young man in brocade clothes and jade belts. He was dressed gorgeously and brilliantly, with a handsome face and the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. He was slightly older than the girl and seemed quite flustered at the moment, pacing back and forth constantly.

The one on the right looked quite mature, calm and elegant, carrying an ancient sword on his back, with a mottled Taoist robe on his body. His face was pale, with bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. He was surrounded by a viper-like eerie black aura, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured!

Seeing the girl return, the young man in brocade clothes and jade belt stood up immediately and asked solemnly: "Miss Mu Yan, how is it?"

"It's just an evil way from outside the world. There's nothing to be afraid of." Mu Yan pursed her red lips and spoke softly.

It seemed as if he was worried that speaking loudly might disturb them.

She has a pretty face, exudes youthfulness, and her words are full of enthusiasm.

  That is the pride that comes from the bottom of my heart!

"so far so good!"

The young man exhaled softly, as if the stone that had been hanging high in his heart was finally put down with relief.

"How is Senior Zhang's injury?"

Mu Yan asked softly, with a hint of worry and concern in her words.

"Senior's injuries have stabilized. He should be fully recovered in another quarter of an hour." The young man said in a low voice.

  Ah!

Mu Yan nodded slightly, and sat leisurely in front of the cave, as if on guard, or with her eyes closed to rest.

Even though she is young and pretty, she behaves like a chivalrous hero.

As night falls, a bonfire is lit.

At this time, a slight cough was heard.

The dirty blood spilled onto the ground, corroding the rocks and causing thick smoke to rise.

"Senior Zhang, are you okay?" Mu Yan came back to her senses and asked with concern.

Zhang Liang exhaled slowly and said softly, "My injuries have stabilized, but I am temporarily unable to transform my Dharma body and perform my magical powers. The most urgent task now is to return to the Human Emperor Realm as soon as possible."

Mu Yan said seriously: "Senior Zhang, we can escort you forward."

"This matter is quite dangerous, and the evil demons from the Earthly Immortal Realm are chasing you. I don't want to involve you in it." There was a hint of dissuasion in Zhang Liang's words.

The young man in brocade clothes clasped his hands together and said solemnly, "Senior Zhang Liang is the disciple of Senior Wang Yan of the Five Elements Sword, and is the orthodox of Yuxu. Although I am young now, I am a descendant of the Li family after all. Your trip concerns the affairs of our human race, how can I refuse?"

"That's right!" Mu Yan also smiled faintly and said, "Mu Yan is from the Cihang Sword House lineage, and is also a branch of the Yuxu lineage. Now, I should call you 'Uncle Master' and I will do my best."

"Thank you very much, both of you." Zhang Liang looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "When I traveled through the heavens and myriad worlds, I noticed that in many worlds, there were gaps in the Nine Netherworld! I suspect that the Nine Netherworld will change, and I must inform His Majesty the Human Emperor about this."

"This matter actually concerns Jiuyou!" Mu Yan spoke in a serious tone, and immediately said: "In this case, let's set off without delay. This is the Mandala Heaven, which contains the realm of Buddhism and is also a fragment of the ancient Jiuzhou Continent. As long as we cross this world, we can reach the border of the Tang Dynasty of our human race!"

After walking for thousands of miles, Zhang Liang suddenly felt something in his heart, and immediately said in a cold voice: "You two, stop!"

At this time, the sky was pitch black, without stars or moon, and extremely cold.

A lot of black smoke that was almost materialized diffused in the sky and drifted with the wind, which was extremely strange.

"What's wandering in the sky now is the ghost-faced demon crow, not the smoke and clouds!!" Zhang Liang's expression was quite solemn, and he said in a cold voice: "The other party seems to have noticed our whereabouts." "In that case, let's stop tonight and show weakness to the enemy. We must not let them notice us." Mu Ye said softly.

At night, the sky is so strange that even merchants would choose to stop and slow down.

If we act rashly at this moment, our intentions will be too obvious and will easily be noticed by the ghost-faced crows in the sky.

Zhang Liang nodded slightly and released his spiritual power.

At this time, his expression was quite strange, and he pointed to the distance and said: "I didn't expect that there would be a Taoist temple between heaven and earth in this place."

Taoist temple?

Mu Yan and the young man looked at each other, both of them were curious.

Looking up, I saw the pitch-black night with endless dark shadows.

In the distance, there was a dim and weak light flickering, illuminating the shadow of the ancient Taoist temple.

"This world is a Buddhist world, and there are actually Taoist temples there."

There was a lot of curiosity in Mu Yan's eyes, "Could it be that this is a place built by the Taoists for passers-by to take shelter and rest at night?"

"All the Taoist sects in the world are of the same lineage." Zhang Liang said with a faint smile: "In such a dark night, we have a place to stay."

They approached cautiously.

What comes into view is the extremely dilapidated ancient Taoist temple.

The mountain gate has collapsed and is in ruins.

A dim lamp flickered in the darkness. The side halls on both sides seemed to have been destroyed in the war. Only the central ancestral hall enshrining the Three Pure Ones was still standing.

"This, this is!!"

The moment he saw the ancient palace, Zhang Liang's pupils froze completely, and there was only shock in his words.

"Senior Zhang, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with this Taoist temple?" the young man asked in a low voice.

call--

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said slowly: "I am just too surprised. This Taoist temple has the appearance of ancient times."

"Or, to be more precise, this is a Taoist temple that has survived from ancient times to this day."

  A Taoist temple from ancient times?

Whether it was the young man or Mu Yan, there was curiosity in their eyes.

At this time, a crisp sound was heard.

Dang Dang Dang——

In the dark night, between Taoist temples, the heavy and ancient sound of bells rang out, echoing in the night, as if traveling through time.

At this moment, the three of them felt a sense of leisure and tranquility in their hearts.

The sound of the bells echoes in the sky, echoes in the night, and echoes in the darkness.

Quiet and lonely.

Zhang Liang slowly extended his hand and prepared to knock on the door.

At this moment, he noticed the source of the light.

That was just an ordinary oil lamp.

The lights flickered, as if they would go out at any moment. (End of this chapter)
