I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

Yuan Rong said: "It has been detected, and those four people went to the direction of the book teaching platform."

Shi Hao murmured: "The desk for teaching books?"

Yuan Rong introduced: "The book-receiving platform is located in the west of Feifeng Peak, opposite to the Goddess Peak across the river. It is one of the three platforms and eight scenic spots in Wu Gorge. This platform has been given books by the Goddess to teach the wonderful method of water control."

Sha Lingshan asked: "It's still the same four people, no change?"

Yuan Rong said: "Exactly! There is that girl Du Yuejiao, there is the 'Monkey Thief' Hou Bomin, there is that strange girl with a sack on her back, and that girl who looks like a pink makeup. There was no one else except the four of them."

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Recently, many warriors have sneaked into the Wu Gorge secretly, and the origin is unknown. In addition, people from the six gates and the barbarian army have also stationed here to investigate the abnormalities here."

Shi Hao and Sha Lingshan looked at each other.

Sha Lingfan got up and floated to the window, opened the window covered with cloth and gauze, and looked at the thunderclouds billowing high above: "I wanted to ask earlier, Wuxia autumn, why is it such a weather?"

Yuan Rongdao: "Tell the altar master, not to mention autumn, there has never been such a weather in Wuxia at any time. It has been 16 years since my subordinates have been stationed here, and this is the first time I have seen it."

Shi Hao stood up and said, "When did this phenomenon start?"

Yuan Rongdao: "Today, it happens to be the third day. At noon the day before yesterday, the thunderstorm seemed to suddenly diffuse from the void, and it covered the twelve peaks of Wu Gorge in just half the time, making the area around Wu Gorge People are terrified and don’t know what happened.”

Shi Hao murmured: "There is a vision in the sky, I am afraid there may be some catastrophe, can the surrounding people evacuate?"

Yuan Rong said: "Young Master! Most of the people living in Wu Gorge are mountain people. Now Wu Gorge is in chaos, and the outside is even more chaotic than Wu Gorge. How dare they leave?"

"Staying in the mountains, the officers and soldiers may not be free to arrest them. If they fled outside and were treated as refugees, the fate would be even worse. However, because the vision came suddenly, many forces are stepping up their investigation. There are also villages and witches everywhere. In the area of ​​the gorge, besides the twelve peaks, there are many other peaks and mountains, among which there are many bandit villages, and everyone is in a state of panic at the moment, not knowing what happened."

Sha Lingshan looked at Shi Hao: "Young master, Miss Yuejiao came here suddenly from Changbai Mountain, is it also related to the vision here?"

Shi Hao shook his head and said, "It's not easy to say."

Facing Yuanrong, he said: "We are a little tired after flying all the way. You arrange a room for us first, and then ask someone to prepare hot food and hot water. We will rest here for two hours, and then go to the teaching desk."

Yuan Rong said: "Yes!" He led the four of them out of the side hall, but did not take them to the west wing, but to the vacant bedroom in the back garden.

Shi Hao looked at Sha Lingshan: "Sister Sha, the three of you should go and rest first."

Shaling shook her fan and said with a smile, "That's good too!" She went with Lady Plum Blossom and Lady Peach Blossom.

Shi Hao had nothing to do, and wandered around the female temple for a while.

In the main hall, Sanqing is enshrined, which is a matter of course.In front of the side hall, there is a large incense burner, full of ashes, and the large incense and small incense in the furnace seem to be full of incense.

Shi Hao stepped into the side hall with his hands behind his back. There was an incense table in front of the table, and on the square stone behind the table was a statue of a goddess.

This goddess statue is better maintained than Sanqing in the main hall. Wearing colorful clothes, the goddess standing floating in the air is exquisitely carved and lifelike.

I saw her tail dragging, her sleeves were windy, her figure was slender, and her beauty was heavenly.Shi Hao glanced at it, and felt that the goddess looked familiar, and when he took a closer look, he felt very familiar again, so he couldn't help coming out of the side hall, and summoned a Taoist nun: "Let your temple masters come over."

After a while, Yuan Rong came to him, and said: "What is the young master's order?"

Shi Hao stepped into the side hall again, pointing to the goddess on the stage: "Are all the goddesses worshiped in Wu Gorge so beautiful?"

Yuan Rong smiled and said: "No! In fact, the goddesses in the goddess temples are slightly different. After all, no one knows what the legendary goddess looks like, so the carved statues are all based on imagination. The common people don't care much about what the goddess really looks like, as long as she is a goddess."

Shi Hao said: "Then the goddess in this Taoist temple is carved in such a shape, I think there must be some reason."

He pointed to the goddess statue and asked doubtfully.

This goddess is so beautiful, she looks exactly like Fairy Shengxuan.

There's no reason why the goddess carved out by imagination and used for worship by the people happens to be the same as Ye Ziyin?

Yuan Rong said: "This has some origins. As far as I know, 300 years ago, there seemed to be a natural disaster in this area of ​​Wushan. There were many disasters and heavy casualties."

"Afterwards, suddenly a cloud and mist gushed out, and a stunning woman appeared on the cloud. Immediately afterwards, the vibration of the mountains and rivers stopped. At that time, there happened to be a painter here, who drew the woman on the cloud .”

"After the painter passed away, his son gave this painting to Ningzhen Temple according to his last wish. At that time, Ningzhen Temple was not my stronghold in the Black Lotus Realm. This statue of a goddess, and later, this temple of women began to prosper gradually."

Shi Hao said: "300 years ago? Well, is that portrait still there?"

Yuan Rong said: "It's still in the subordinate's room, young master, please wait a moment, the subordinate will go get it now."

Shi Hao waited here for a while, until Yuan Rong came to him holding a long box.

She opened the long box, took out the picture scroll inside, and gave it to the young master.

Shi Hao took it and opened it slowly, only to see a stunning woman standing above the clouds, fluttering with strange colors, overwhelming the country and the city.

If Shi Hao had already started to suspect when he saw this "Goddess Statue", now that he sees this portrait, he further confirms that the beauty in this painting is indeed Ye Ziyin.

Sister Ziyan has been here too?he thought to himself.

However, 300 years ago, Taoism and demons fought against each other, and a martial arts catastrophe was triggered.

It is not that strange that Ye Ziyin has traveled all over the martial arts world and visited Wu Gorge.

He thought for a while and said, "Can you give me this portrait first?"

Yuan Rong hurriedly said: "Young master just take it." What she was afraid of was that the young master would not accept her gift, since the young master asked for it on his own initiative, why would she refuse?

Shi Hao nodded, then rolled up the scroll, put it back in the long box, and let Yuan Rong go about her own business.

After Yuan Rong left, there was a flash of light and shadow on Shi Hao's shoulder, and Little Jade appeared: "Young master, Ye Ziyin is the enemy of the master, and I am also the enemy of the young master..."

Shi Hao said: "Got it!" He turned and walked to his room.

Little Jade chased after him: "Young master, this woman has unfathomable scheming and cunning schemes, and the young master must not be seduced by her. The master teaches and takes care of the young master with all his heart, and the young master should stand by the master's side." , stay away from that evil nun, let alone..."

Shi Hao said: "I know, I know!"

Back in the room, I took a rest for a while, and the female Taoist priest brought me some food. After eating, I took a hot bath and rested for a while.

Then meet Sha Lingshan, Plum Blossom Lady, and Peach Blossom Lady, but first give the picture scroll to Peach Blossom Lady, and carry it with the package they carry with them.

Shaling fan said: "Young master, the thunder clouds are rolling in the sky, Yingzhao seems to be afraid and can't fly. If Yingzhao doesn't fly in this area of ​​high mountains, then he is not as good as a fast horse, not to mention that a fast horse is useless here.

"The book teaching platform is on the south bank of the river, close to Feifeng Peak, and opposite to Goddess Peak. If you rely on your feet, the journey is still a bit far away. I have asked Yuan Rong to arrange a boat for us, so we will go by boat in the river below the mountain. Bar?"

Shi Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Sister, just arrange it!"

At that moment, they went down the mountain and came to the bank of the river, where a painting boat had already stopped.

This painting boat is not too big, but it is used by literati and poets to swim on the river. There are exquisite tea sets, melon and fruit snacks in the cabin.

Shi Hao and Sha Lingshan entered the cabin, Xiao Feicui followed them, Mrs. Plum Blossom was paddling outside, and Mrs. Peach Blossom was in the cabin, boiling water and making tea for them.

The small painting boat breaks through the water along the river, and goes all the way——

Chapter 188

Wanfeng majestic Yijiangtong, Suokey Jingxiang is majestic!

On both sides of the Xiajiang River, there are endless green mountains and peaks like a screen. Sometimes the mountains are in front of them, and the peaks turn suddenly, sometimes huge stones block the way, and sometimes the river is wide and the sky is high.

The surrounding rocks are jagged, the cliffs are lined up, the valleys are winding, and the peaks are steep.

Shi Hao and Sha Lingshan are sitting opposite each other in the painting room by the window, and Xiao Feicui is sitting in the corner of the short table.

On the low red sandalwood table, slender hands were fiddling with tea sets. After a while, the two cups of hot tea were moved to the front of Shi Hao and Sha Lingshan.

Peach Blossom Lady bowed her delicate body slightly, and stepped aside gracefully.

Shi Hao looked out the window while sipping tea.

As soon as he crossed over, he was in the land of Shu, and he had seen many mountains and mountains.

Even so, at the moment when people are under the gorge, looking at the cliffs that seem to pierce into the sky, they still feel that they are as small as dust, and have a sense of humbleness that how human beings can compete with the sky.

Thunderclouds surged in the sky, and thunderbolts were rumored among the clouds, which aggravated the depression.

Sha Lingshan said softly: "There is a saying that 'if something is abnormal, it is a monster', and there is a saying that 'when a country is about to perish, there must be a monster', now the world is in chaos, and even all kinds of incomprehensible visions have emerged. "

Shi Hao said: "On the rivers and lakes, strange people and all kinds of monster-like characters have emerged in endlessly, but in the past, the barbarian court emperor was powerful and unrivaled. Under his suppression, these monsters and strange people , all dare not take the lead.

"Now I hear that Lie Zunyi hasn't appeared for several years. Besides, no matter how great he is, his lifespan of more than 300 years should come to an end. In addition, the barbarian court is corrupt to the point where there is no possibility of continuation. The various people and horses tucked in will naturally move in accordance with the time."

While speaking, he looked towards the high place in front of the painting boat, and saw a purple figure breaking through the sky from the cliff.

Standing on a wall, the old man was wearing a purple robe and a large robe, all relying on his strength to prop up the robe to slow down the momentum of his fall.

Coupled with the billowing thunderclouds in the heights, at a glance, he looks like a fairy from the sky breaking through the sky and falling straight down, with extraordinary momentum.

He is facing the front of the painting boat, and the yarn Ling fan is facing him.Following his gaze, Sha Lingfan turned her head and looked out the window, seeing the old man shooting down like a meteor, she shook her fan and said with a smile: "It seems that he is coming for us."

With a bang, the energy in front of the boat was pushed down.

Look at the old man in purple robe, standing on the water surface, the water surface rises and falls with this sudden energy.

The plum blossom lady couldn't control the boat, and the boat was pushed back half a foot by the turbulent water.

Little Jade snorted: "What a domineering old man!"

Sha Ling fan smiled and said: "I'll meet him!" She got up gracefully, twisted her waist out of the cabin, stood on the bow, pressed lightly with her footsteps, and the boat landed firmly on the water.

The purple-robed old man stepped on the water and stood proudly, "Young lady, is the owner of the Sha Pavilion in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion of the Xielian Sect?"

Shaling fan shook her fan and laughed: "Looking at the grandeur of the senior, I don't know if it's the Poison Sunflower Sect' Zi Luo Xie Zun' Li Shanwen Li old senior?"

"Ziluo Xiezun" Li Shanwen's eyes were like lightning, and a thunderous light burst out, sweeping towards the Shaling fan.Shaling fan remained unmoved, with his left hand behind his sleeves, and his right round fan lightly shaking.

Li Shan heard and said: "Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion has not set foot in the rivers and lakes for a long time. Now I heard that the girl has cultivated the fourth grade and appeared in the martial arts. First, she wiped out all the people in Huozhou, and then drove back the ghost sect Li Liming and Gui Xiaoren in the Qinling Changbai Mountain area. , mighty."

Sha Ling fan said: "Oh, I and others in the Demon Sect have always acted in secret, how dare the slave family dare to be arrogant? The Huozhou matter is an advanced magic gate ceremony, and there is nothing to do. As for the restaurant, it is just a matter between the slave family and the demon family. It’s nothing more than a small conflict between the Ghost Sect, as an old senior of the Poison Sunflower Sect, is it possible that Mr. Li is going to stand up for the Ghost Sect?”

Li Shanwen snorted, staring at Shaling Fan with piercing eyes, "I'm not interested in the conflict between your evil lotus sect and ghost sect, I just want to know why the girl came to Wuxia?"

Sha Lingshan shook the Luofan lightly, and said with a smile: "Why, this Wu Gorge has already been taken by the Poison Sunflower Sect?"

Li Shanwen said in a deep voice: "I just want to make it clear that you and I, even though there were some festivals in the past, there were not too many unresolvable enmities. I just want to know that what the girl is going to do here has nothing to do with me. Will there be a conflict?"

Sha Lingfan raised her head and looked at the thundercloud-swelling sky: "Could it be...you guys made this weather?"

Li Shanwen snorted coldly: "We don't have such a big hand yet... Could it be that the girl came here for this?"

Sha Ling fan smiled and said: "If I say, we really just passed by by chance. It has nothing to do with the things here, and I don't want to know what you are doing. I wonder if the old man believes it or not?"

Li Shanwen laughed loudly and said: "If you have a girl's words, this old man can rest assured!" While speaking, black air surged from the soles of his feet, and he walked along the river to the painting boat.

Shaling fan said in a manly voice: "Don't you, old man, don't believe it at all?" When the round fan turned and shook, there was a ball of flames around the painting boat, and it went underwater instead.

Li Shanwen sneered and said, "I just want to remind the girl that although we people in the Demon Sect don't agree with each other, we shouldn't be restrained everywhere." His figure floated, and he flew towards the cliff on the right.

Around the painting boat, dead fish turned up one by one.

Sha Lingfan turned around and got into the cabin, sat back opposite Shi Hao again, and said: "I didn't expect that even this old guy appeared. The Poison Sunflower Sect has two elders, 'Evil Venerable' and 'Poison Venerable'. Fourth-rank masters, although few people know about them in the martial arts world, they are well-known in the magic sect.

"'Evil Venerable' is here, and 'Hong Ni Poison Venerable' Helong City is probably not too far away. The Poison Sunflower Sect has made great achievements this time, and it seems that it is really ambitious."

Shi Hao pondered: "The Danyang Society is actually under the control of the Poison Sunflower Sect. They have already controlled the upper reaches of the Han River. If they occupy the entire Han River and then control the Three Gorges, it is equivalent to controlling the upper reaches of the Changhe River. This may be Their strategy at the moment?"

Sha Lingshan shook her head and said, "Although 'Huang Facai' is a member of the Poison Sunflower Sect, Xiong Wanghu, the 'Hu Qing Dao Xia', would never dare to have any connection with the Poison Sunflower Sect on the bright side. Xiong Wanghu's heroic name, It has been accumulated over the years, if someone gets conclusive evidence to prove that he is related to the Demon Sect, the territory he has worked so hard for will immediately disappear, and he will end up in the same situation as Sheng Menghui."

"If you want to help Xiong Wanghu control the Three Gorges, the two elders of the Poison Sunflower Sect, Xie and Du, would never dare to show up in such a public manner. Although most people in the martial arts don't know them, the Demon Sect is too familiar with them."

The Xie and Du Er of the Poison Sunflower Sect are old and have caused many troubles in the Demon Sect in the past. Once they make a move, it is difficult to hide it.

"In my opinion, the actions of the Poison Sunflower Sect in Wu Gorge this time should have nothing to do with Xiong Wanghu."

Shi Hao thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded, "That's true! The Poison Sunflower Sect probably has other plans."

Sha Lingshan shook her fan and laughed: "Anyway, no matter what, the Poison Sunflower faction has been making frequent moves recently, with great ambitions, so we must guard against it!"

Suddenly, the plum blossom lady from behind called out: "Young master, girl! There are military warships appearing behind us!"

Shi Hao and Sha Lingshan poked their heads out and looked behind the boat.

The gorge is twists and turns, but the river is wide enough to see a warship protruding from the bend in the rear.

After turning the corner, many wooden oars protruded from both sides, and the warship accelerated further and quickly approached them.

Sha Ling fan said: "Get aside first!"

Lady Plum Blossom complied and sailed the boat to the bank of the river.

The warship has two floors, with a bumper in the front and paddles on both sides. It can hold as many as 800 people. Although it is not as large as a large building ship specially used for transporting troops, it is not small.

The front is sharp and covered with iron sheets, which can be used to violently hit enemy ships. Flags, knives and guns are planted all over the ship, and the momentum is astonishing.

This is a warship used by the barbarians to patrol the long river.

The painting boat was relatively slow, but the warship's paddles were spread out, and the speed was extremely fast, and it caught up with them in a short while.

I saw soldiers lined up in the cabin, and there was a barbarian wearing armor with a scar on his forehead and carrying an iron stone bow.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers on the cabin stretched their bows and aimed at the boat.
