In the former world of self-cultivation, as long as "the proud son of heaven" was mentioned, people would think of Li Fuyue.

He is the monk with the best talent in the world after the ancestor of the Chuxuan Immortal.

The life in the snowy Meizhou and the teachings of Qiu Wanyou allowed Li Fuyue to cultivate the most stable Dao heart.

Even during the time before he went mad, Li Fuyue was already able to feel the existence of the Dao of Heaven while meditating.

But it was such a person, he actually lost his temper.

Li Fuyue will never forget that afternoon.

He sat in the mist and meditated with his eyes closed, and there was flying snow falling from the sky, gently landing on the eyelashes, and trembling slightly with the rhythm of breathing. All this seems so ordinary.

The spiritual energy circulated in his body for another week, and just as Li Fuyue inhaled and exhaled, and was about to end his meditation, the spiritual energy in his body suddenly rushed towards the Lingtai uncontrollably.

In Li Fuyue's ear, there was a faint chuckle.

Before he had time to think about it, the red mark on his forehead turned black at this moment.

He opened his eyes abruptly, and the natal spirit sword suddenly appeared, making a humming sword sound.

The next moment Li Fuyue's eyes suddenly became dull, and her spirit was also abnormally lax.

But the situation didn't last too long, after a few breaths, Li Fuyue came back to her senses. At the same time, a killing intent that had never been seen before also welled up in my heart.

"Cause and effect—"

The next moment, the Heavenly Sword was in Li Fuyue's hands, and he also stood up.

Although Li Fuyue stood still and didn't move, the sword energy from Karma had already set off a gust of wind blade, destroying the surrounding Wumei.

"No...not right." Li Fuyue's eyes finally cleared up, and he realized that his current state was very wrong.

The man tried his best to fight against the bloodthirsty killing intent in his heart. He slowly stabbed the cause and effect to the ground, and continued to sit on the ground and meditate with difficulty.

Before the wind blade disappeared, a stream of dark red blood suddenly gushed from Li Fenglan's lips, instantly staining his clothes and the snow red.

The four words "deviled" also broke into Li Fuyue's mind at this moment.

On the other side of the snow-covered Meizhou, Meng Linzhou, who was about to sneak out of the sect again, also saw a vision in the distance.

"Why is Li Fuyue so irritable today? I probably haven't done anything recently..." he said softly.

Meng Linzhou thought about it carefully, and finally retreated silently with some guilt.

He stretched out his hand to touch the sword tassel beside him, sighed softly and thought - it seems that his plan to sneak out of the sect to find friends of casual cultivators has to be postponed a little bit.

It's just that Meng Linzhou didn't know at that time that the peaceful time in the cultivation world was about to end.

His plan to leave Tianmian Palace to find a casual cultivator friend will be postponed for two hundred years due to various reasons.

…

After that day, Li Fuyue went mad twice.

It stands to reason that after ordinary monks go mad, it is difficult to resist the instinct.

But Li Fuyue's willpower was exceptionally strong, he actually forcibly suppressed those two insanity, and even his apprentice Meng Linzhou, who was with him day and night, didn't find anything abnormal.

Li Fuyue was finally exposed because of a wave of ferocious beasts.

Before this, there had never been such a large wave of ferocious beasts in the world.

In order to resist the tide of ferocious beasts, half of the comprehension world gathered in a valley called "Jiangsi" in the mortal world, and worked together to besiege the ferocious beasts.

At the beginning, everything was normal. Although the tide of beasts was dangerous, with the joint efforts of so many monks, hundreds of beasts were successfully trapped in the valley.

Just wait for the array to be deployed, and they can be wiped out in one go.

But at this moment, there was a howl of a ferocious beast in everyone's ears.

This hissing was different from what they had heard before.

After that sound, the group of ferocious beasts who were trapped in the valley and gradually lost their fighting spirit suddenly seemed to go crazy.

Hearing this voice, Li Fuyue, who was standing at the front, subconsciously raised her eyes and looked opposite.

He saw - the huge beast in the front, its eyes were extremely chaotic, as if it had lost its soul. It looked at itself, motionless.

"What... what happened to this beast? The cultivator standing beside Li Fuyue suddenly asked with a frightened expression on his face.

Obviously, he also noticed the abnormality of the beast in front of him. However, Li Fuyue now has no way to answer his question.

At the moment when she stared at the beast, Li Fuyue once again had a killing intent in her heart.

His rationality and instinct were torn apart, and the causal qi became chaotic little by little, to the point of darkness visible to the naked eye.

"Li Xianzun?"

"Li, Li Xianzun, what's wrong with you?"

"Immortal, your sword—"

Li Fuyue vaguely heard someone calling herself, and the four words "bewildered" appeared in his ears over and over again. But he has fallen into a state of madness, and almost lost his ability to respond to other things.

kill!

In Li Fuyue's heart, there is only this word.

He slowly raised the long sword, and saw that the sword body, which was as white as jade, was already wrapped in black mist.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Fuyue at this moment is Shura alive.

The algae-like black hair fluttered in the air, and the red mark on Li Fuyue's forehead turned black again. He slowly raised the ink-stained cause and effect, and slashed towards the mountain wall of Jiangsi Valley with the thin jade-like blade.

"Run!"

"Li Xianzun is crazy—"

"Desperation, dementia!"

The surrounding monks yelled loudly while walking away with their swords. Only a few seconds later, the cliff of Jiangsi Valley was flattened by Li Fuyue's sword.

The hundreds of feet high cliffs shattered in front of my eyes, and collapsed in an instant.

The loud noise barely brought back a bit of Li Fuyue's rationality. Seeing the shattered mountain wall in front of him, he finally realized—that he had lost his temper in front of the entire cultivation world!

"Li Fuyue, are you crazy!" At this moment, a person suddenly appeared behind Li Fuyue—it was Jiang Yichang who was with Li Fenglan to deal with the tide of beasts.

He crushed the falling stones around with one sword, and Li Fuyue was not hit by the broken stones.

Presumably, it won't be long before the mountain wall will collapse completely, and the beasts trapped in the valley will rush out of it.

Li Fuyue, who was dressed in white, stretched out his hand to press his temple with some difficulty, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know...you go, go!"

"No," Jiang Yichang gritted his teeth and said, "You are the future head of Tianmian Palace, how can I leave you here alone?"

The relationship between Jiang Yichang and Li Fuyue is a bit awkward. They both practiced Taoism in Tianmian Palace, but they haven't spoken a few words in these years.

Li Fuyue did not expect that Jiang Yichang, who was half-acquainted with her, would actually say such a thing.

Rubbles kept falling around the two of them, and there were roars of ferocious beasts in their ears, but Li Fuyue could still hear each other's words clearly.

The future head of Tianmian Palace...

This time Li Fuyue's madness was more serious than any other time before, after hearing the man's words, he almost tried his best to resist his instinct.

He didn't even realize that there was blood running down the corner of his mouth.

But Jiang Yichang's eyes widened in an instant, he saw Li Fuyue smiled at him.

Everyone in the cultivation world knows that Li Fuyue is incomparable in both cultivation and looks.

And Jiang Yichang, who was used to the serious and calm appearance of the people in front of him, saw Li Fuyue smile so brightly for the first time.

He is like a dark red misty plum blooming in the snowy Meizhou—alienated, indifferent but rich.

"Cough... I've lost my temper, and I'm not qualified for the position of head of Tianmian Palace. You can go." Li Fuyue said these words with great difficulty, and her voice became a little hoarse.

After saying this, Li Fuyue closed her eyes in pain, and when she opened them again, the karmic Qi had been completely polluted.

Jiang Yichang was shaken away by the sword energy of Karma.

But Li Fuyue finally completely lost control, he drew his sword again, directly flattened Jiang Sigu, and released all the more than 340 beasts.

At this moment, another chuckle came from Li Fuyue's ear - the voice was exactly the same as the one he heard when he went mad for the first time.

As if mocking.

So far, Li Fuyue finally has no turning back in her life...

The only person who witnessed all this with his own eyes was Jiang Yichang.

The amazing thing is that, for him who always put the interests of the sect first, the first thing he thought of was not whether Li Fuyue's actions would affect the status of Tianmian Palace in the cultivation world.

At this moment, he only felt regret in his heart.

Although Jiang Yichang never said it, but he has always regarded Li Fuyue as his opponent.

At the same time, Li Fuyue was also the only person he was willing to admit was stronger than himself.

For thousands of years, Jiang Yichang kept competing secretly with Li Fuyue, imagining countless ways to win over him.

But among the thousands of ideas, this one has never been included.

How could Li Fuyue lose like this?

On that day, Li Fuyue released the ferocious beasts, but under his madness, he finally obeyed his instinct and killed those ferocious beasts with one sword.

That night, the corpses of Jiang Sigu's ferocious beasts piled up like a mountain, and the stinky blood pooled into a river, and he was no longer the little monk who couldn't bear to kill.

…

The angry howl of the beast brought Li Fenglan's attention back.

Like, it's too similar.

The eyes of this ferocious beast are indeed exactly the same as the one back then.

Li Fenglan's hands instantly became cold, and at this moment his nerves were tense, for fear that the weird chuckle he heard back then would come from his ears again.

Fortunately, there was no laughter this time.

After a long time of confrontation, the beast finally got impatient.

And Li Fenglan also clenched the long sword in her hand, and directly stabbed at the fierce beast in the front.

"...Li Fenglan! Do you want to die?" Seeing Li Fenglan's movements, Duan Qianli, who was leaning against a tree just now with a relaxed expression, suddenly stood up straight and shouted loudly.

He knew that the group of monks in Tianmian Palace took the mission of eliminating demons and defending the Tao, but he didn't expect Li Fenglan to work so hard.

Especially the energy with which he charged forward, those who knew that he was just a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but those who didn't know thought he was some kind of immortal!

cough cough.

In fact... Li Fenglan, who just fell into the memories of her previous life, did forget her own cultivation level and the sword in his hand.

The leather armor of the fierce beast in front of him was rough, and stabbing it with a long sword was no different from stabbing a stone.

The fierce beast felt a tingling pain in its front legs, and only moved a little, then kicked Li Fenglan aside, and he, who was dressed in white, fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..." Li Fenglan's spiritual root was connected just now, and her body was still not in good condition, so her heart pulse also started to vibrate.

Li Fenglan, who was used to being the number one person in the fairy world, didn't feel scared at this moment, he just couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, this time the tide of ferocious beasts was really strong, everyone was in a panic, except for Duan Qianli, no one cared about Li Fenglan's current state.

Coincidentally, the place where Li Fenglan fell was right in front of Duan Qianli. Therefore, Duan Qianli, who wanted to find an opportunity to slip away and not participate in the ridiculous event of Tianmian Palace, struggled for a while, and dragged Li Fenglan up.

However, at this moment, several more ferocious beasts attacked them.

"I'm going... dare to provoke me?" Duan Qianli gritted his teeth.

Just when Duan Qianli was about to unleash his thirteen-section whip and strike at the beast, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.

Before he could see clearly who was coming, the huge beast in front of him fell heavily to the ground with a "boom".

In an instant, the dust flew up, and the moonlight was also blocked by the smoke and dust.

Li Fenglan's eyes were pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.

It was at this moment that he fell into a strange embrace.

"Who?!"

Li Fenglan instinctively wanted to push that person away, but before she could do it, she heard a familiar voice coming from her ear.

"Has Feng Lan forgotten how she was injured last time? How dare she get so close to the beast now?"

The man's tone was very calm, even relaxed, out of tune with the environment full of ferocious beasts in front of him.

The visitor turned out to be Lingbushi!

After a few breaths, Li Fenglan was finally let down by him.

Standing on the ground, he said dizzily, "Master? Why are you here?"

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Li Fenglan saw the person in front of her clearly. At the same time, he also saw that after the beast fell to the ground just now, the other beasts also turned around and returned to the forest.

But Duan Qianli seemed to be avoiding Ling Buti, and when he saw that it was him, he slipped into the crowd in an instant.

What's going on... Li Fenglan couldn't help frowning.

I have fought fierce beasts for thousands of years in my previous life, and I have never seen such a situation.

At this moment, Li Fenglan remembered a word often used by readers in the comment section of "Tianmian Daosheng": cheating.

Although he still hasn't fully figured out what a "cheat" is. But Li Fenglan felt that the man in front of her was cheating.

Ling Buti said calmly, "I figured out that the beast has moved here, so I rushed over."

"How can you figure this out?" Li Fenglan couldn't help asking curiously.

In his impression, the tide of ferocious beasts has always been irregular.

Even the great powers in the cultivation world back then gathered in Jiangsi Valley after the outbreak of the beast tide.

Ling Buyi narrowed his eyes lightly, looked at the monk who had just got up from the ground ahead, smiled and said after a while: "Of course there is a way, if you are interested, I can teach you after returning to Tianmian Palace." you."

Just as they were talking, Zhuang Zhixia and the others also adjusted their status, and when they arrived here, they saluted their savior Ling tirelessly.

And Li Fenglan took advantage of this time, went to the back to support the tree and began to adjust her breath.

After getting along for a period of time, Li Fenglan found that the mysteries surrounding Ling Buyi not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

"Hey..." Li Fenglan sighed while inspecting the wound on her wrist and thought: In her last life, she was the number one person in the cultivation world, and besides swordsmanship, other types of magic arts were also involved.

Unexpectedly, after meeting Ling Buyan, he looked like an illiterate in the cultivation world.

When Li Fenglan was adjusting her breath, she vaguely heard Ling Buyi say to Zhuang Zhixia and the others: Fierce beasts like to come and go alone and have a strong sense of territory. Only when ferocious beasts swarm will they gather together .

That ferocious beast just now is like the leader of the tide of ferocious beasts. As long as it can be killed quickly, other ferocious beasts will also temporarily lose their cores, returning to their instinct to repel the same kind.

That's why they scattered so quickly.

Li Fenglan didn't want to interrupt their conversation at first, but after hearing this, he still went to Ling Buyi and asked, "Then, I would like to ask Master, what gave birth to the beast tide? It even changed their solitary nature..."

"That's right, Immortal Lord Ling, according to me, the wave of beasts should only have occurred in the last few thousand years." Another monk asked.

Although the others did not speak, they could tell from their eyes that, like Li Fenglan, everyone was curious about the answer to this question.

Even Duan Qianli, who had been standing outside just now, couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

—In addition to the human world, there are also waves of fierce beasts appearing in the demon world.

I saw that Ling Buyan shook his head first, and then glanced at the dark night sky.

His voice suddenly lowered, like a dream: "It's the way of heaven, the way of heaven is unstable."

The answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

Just when everyone was in a daze, Ling Buti walked up to Li Fenglan, conjured a cloak out of nowhere and put it on him lightly.

"It's cold at night, you haven't recovered yet, be careful not to catch the wind and cold," he said before looking at the group of monks, and asked with a half-smile, "Are you planning to stay outside the city tonight?"

Zhuang Zhixia glanced at the people around him, and hurriedly bowed to Ling and said, "Immortal Xie Ling reminds us, we'll go back right away."

"En." Ling Buyan nodded lightly and stopped talking.

During this period, Li Fenglan has been silently observing Ling Buyi.

He found that his master, although always smiling, seemed easy to get along with. But as long as you get along with him for a while, you will feel the temperament of not being angry and self-imposing in him.

The most amazing thing is, I don't know if it's because everyone has heard the rumor that Ling is not tired of "explaining the ancients and the present", or because of other reasons.

I have never seen anyone refute him, and everyone has an almost instinctive trust in Ling Buyan.

…

It was a tossing night, after Li Fenglan returned to the inn, she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

To Li Fenglan's surprise, Ling Buyan did not leave in a hurry after resolving what happened last night.

Li Fenglan pushed open the door of the inn room, and saw Ling Buti's familiar figure.

"Master?" He called Ling Buyi blankly.

Then Ling Buyi walked slowly to the door, and he told Li Fenglan that he stayed today to deal with the "box" with him.

Li Fenglan who just woke up was still a little confused, when he fully woke up, he and Ling Buyan were already walking on the streets of Xihou City.

"Master, where are we going now? Did we find a random place and bury these things?" After hesitating for a long time, Li Fenglan finally asked this question.

In fact, he really wanted to deal with these things seriously, so as to make his mortal life more than ten years complete.

But more than three thousand years have passed, and the mortal world has already changed greatly.

More importantly, Li's family was ransacked and beheaded. Where should I bury this box?

"How can this work?" To Li Fenglan's surprise, Ling Buyan's tone was very solemn, "Naturally, the relic must be handled properly, and it should be returned to its original place."

"The original location?"

No way, Ling Buyi knows all about this?

Seeing Li Fenglan's expression, Ling Buyan guessed what he was thinking.

The man smiled and said, "Don't think about it, I'll take you to check the county records now to see if there are any clues."

Hearing Ling Buyi's words, Li Fenglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, okay... If he even knew this, Li Fenglan would have to wonder if Ling Buyan, like himself, had some mysterious experience that no one knew about.

Xihou City is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, because of the infestation of ferocious beasts, there are many fewer people in the city, and the guards everywhere are not strict.

Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan easily arrived at the place where the county annals were stored.

Although Xihou City is in the mortal world, small pieces of spirit stones are attached to the slips used to record history.

Therefore, thousands of years have passed, and this volume of county chronicles is still no different from the new one.

Walking to the room full of letters, Li Fenglan couldn't help slowing down her pace.

Although there have been no visitors here for a long time, the dust is not thick, and it is obvious that someone cleans it regularly.

After being quiet for a while, Li Fenglan looked at the letters around her, and couldn't help recalling: "Xihou City has a long history, and it has never changed its name. It was called this three thousand years ago."

The man standing beside him nodded slowly, and then chatted with him about the history of Xihou City.

While talking, the two walked slowly in the room full of books.

After a while, Li Fenglan suddenly stood still, he was a little surprised and said: "This is the place, the 'Empress Xi family' refers to me—" Let's talk about the Li family.

wait! Not us, not us!

It was Li Fuyue's family!

Seeing Li Fenglan standing still, Ling Buyi also stood there and looked towards him.

At the same time... heard the half-swallowed "I".

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

Li Fenglan repeatedly told himself to be calm, he took a deep breath, turned a corner and said: "It is the Li family we are looking for."

"That's it." Ling took down the slip without hesitation.

Just when Li Fenglan thought that this test had passed, the man smiled and said, "I thought you were going to say, 'our Li family'."

Li Fenglan: "..." That's true.

In order to cover up her panic, Li Fenglan also picked up a letter and flipped through it.

Coincidentally, as soon as he opened the letter, he saw two familiar terms.

"Heavenly Sleep Palace"

"Li Shi"

At the beginning, he was picked up by monks from Tianmian Palace in disorder, so there should be no records in the county annals.

Seeing this, Li Fenglan's heart twitched, and he quickly flipped forward, and then saw the time... and the word "interview".

In the second year of Chengyuan, monks from Tianmian Palace visited Li's house?

...I was fourteen years old that year!

According to this county chronicle, when I was fourteen years old, a monk from Tianmian Palace actually visited Li's house? !

Li Fenglan always thought that it was just an accident that she was taken away by the people from Tianmian Palace, but now the things written in the book tell him that things don't seem to be like this...
