The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

Volume Three: Set the Storm

Chapter 687: Desireless Heaven

…

The sky was overcast, and the cold wind blew up the withered grass on the roadside and whizzed past, adding a bit more biting chill to the wilderness.

It had just rained heavily last night, and the mountain road was still a little muddy. There were messy horse hoof prints and wheel tracks everywhere.

Within dozens of miles, there is no town or village, only a simple tavern built next to the ancient road at the foot of the mountain for business travelers to rest.

The tavern was not big, with two floors, and could barely withstand the miserable wind and rain in the mountains. At this time, there were about a dozen carriages outside, parked on the road in random directions.

The usually deserted tavern, for some reason, had so many customers today, and the first and second floors were full. The shopkeeper and the only boy in the shop, who have been busy since morning, have not yet had a meal or tea. Today's visitors are all people from the world, and the two of them are afraid that they have taken good care of the guests on the first floor, but will offend the guests on the second floor.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud sound, which startled everyone in the tavern. The tavern, which was extremely noisy a moment ago, suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out to be a person. The bearded man placed the wine bowl heavily on the table and smashed it.

The shopkeeper's surname was Xu. He was an honest man. For fear of offending this gentleman, he asked in a low voice, "Master, is the wine not right for you?"

"Shopkeeper, it has nothing to do with you!"

The man stood up suddenly, but he was a little drunk. An old man in green shirt next to him also stood up immediately and supported him: "Second Master, what's going on?"

"snort!"

The bearded man flicked his sleeves heavily and said, "Nowadays, the world is in chaos, natural disasters are constant, and bandits are rampant. But that foolish king has appointed Demon Dao as the national teacher. He does not ask about the people or ghosts and gods all day long, and he also increases taxes every year. The people are in dire straits and are starving to death. You think you are angry?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tavern was shocked. If these words reached the capital and were heard by the people of the Imperial Guard, ten heads would be in danger, and the nine tribes might be implicated. Fortunately, this is a land of mountains and wilderness, so it doesn't matter what you say.

"well……"

At this moment, a long sigh came from the other table, but it was an old man with white beard. He smoothed his white beard with his hand, shook his head and sighed, "Ten years ago, this was not the case..."

Upon hearing the words "ten years ago", the people in the whole tavern became even quieter. The dark clouds outside gradually enveloped the atmosphere, making the atmosphere in the whole tavern suddenly become heavier.

"Old sir, tell me, what happened ten years ago?"

Just when there was silence, suddenly, a voice as clear as a silver bell sounded from the second floor. Upon hearing the voice, everyone immediately followed the sound and saw a girl wearing light red clothes sitting upstairs.

But looking at the girl, who was born with exquisite jasper and eyes like water, she was about eighteen years old. She was full of a youthful and lively atmosphere, which was in complete contrast with the drunken and rough man in the tavern, but she didn't know. Why did such a beautiful and lovely little girl appear in this tavern in the mountains?

Everyone was a little surprised, looking at the girl's appearance, she seemed to be single, and she was so beautiful. Now that the world is in chaos, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people? If those people from the Demon Sect were to encounter him, the consequences would be disastrous.

The white-haired old man who spoke before looked at her intently, stroking his beard and said, "I think the girl is at most eighteen years old. Ten years ago, the girl was still young at that time, so naturally she didn't know. If I want to talk about this matter, I'm afraid it will take a long time." Starting from Xuan Qingmen..."

Upon hearing the words "Xuan Qing Sect", everyone suddenly stood in awe of the old man, thinking that if he knew about Xuan Qing Sect, he might have some background, right? At this time, a middle-aged man with black hair asked, "Old sir, could it be that you were personally present and saw that incident?"

"No no no..."

The white-haired old man quickly waved his hand and said, "I was born in the mountains, how could I see 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, right? He even knows the things in this Xuanmen of Immortal Cultivation.

At this time, everyone was listening to him with rapt attention. He slowly stroked his beard and said, "More than twenty years ago, Fairy Miaoyin accepted a disciple named Xiao Yichen. Do you know who this little friend Xiao is?" origin?"

"this……"

After hearing this, everyone began to think deeply, and some people who did not know anything about Xuanmen also pretended to be thoughtful and puzzled at this moment. After a while, they saw a middle-aged man who said doubtfully, "I heard that that person Xiaoyou seems to have been rescued by Fairy Miaoyin back then, and later became her teacher..."

"That's good."

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, "Originally, with Xiaoyou's qualifications, given time, he would achieve great success, but things in the world are unpredictable. Later, he met a girl, and the origin of that girl was extraordinary. She was actually a demon sect. The palace master..."

Hearing this, everyone in the tavern put down their wine glasses in unison, with solemn expressions and silence.

The old man continued, "That time, Tianmen captured that girl, and Xiaoyou naturally wanted to rescue her. That was the time when various sects of the Demon Sect also suddenly attacked. At that time, the eight elders of Tianmen were all seriously injured. Among the three real people, one died and two were seriously injured. As for the people from other sects, the casualties were countless, which shows 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.
