There was a piece of green at the edge of Princess Wufeng's sight. From a distance, the green looked like patches of green moss on the golden sand. Looking closer, she saw the sparse woods.

There was a wooden house among them. As we got closer, we could clearly see an old man in front of the wooden house. The old man was cultivating a piece of land there and planting some unknown plants in the ground.

The old man farming raised his head, and Princess Wufeng saw that his face was covered with deep wrinkles, like a cliff that had stood between heaven and earth for thousands of years. Each wrinkle symbolized the passage of his life.

When the sand phoenix came to this small oasis, it extinguished itself in the sand, and Princess Wufeng landed safely on the ground.

"Nice to meet you, people from outside the Yellow Desert."

The old man said slowly, his voice seemed to have become dry and dry because he had lived in this place for too long, like sand rubbing against each other, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Princess Wufeng glanced at Qingyangzi, who had been silent since arriving in this oasis, and then said to the old man: "Old man, I am very happy to see you. Have you been living here alone?"

"Oh haha, yes, it has been more than a hundred years." The old man's stiff smile made Princess Wufeng think that this was the first time he had smiled in a hundred years.

"One hundred years..." Princess Wufeng was shocked. If he could still be alive in a place like this for a hundred years, then he was really a great magical person. Although she also thought that this old man would not be a simple person, but

I never thought he would live here for a hundred years.

However, at this moment, Qingyangzi said in a serious tone: "The yellow sand is long and boundless, turning into a green state. The shape and energy are all in harmony. It is as clever as heaven's work, like yin and yang carving, and the virtual and the real are in harmony. It is really

The highest level of the art of illusion."

"Yes, this place looks beautiful, but it is a prison. Once you get in, you can never get out," the old man said.

Princess Wufeng followed the old man's gaze and looked back, only to see that the land of yellow sand she had originally walked through had turned into dim nothingness, and a little further away was a hazy sandy fog. At the same time, it was no longer flat, but became

It formed an arc, connected to the sky, and followed the arc upward. She raised her head, and she didn't know when the originally high sky had turned into a long stretch of yellow sand, like a ball, and they were in this circle.

Inside the bead.

After discovering this, Princess Wufeng immediately looked at Qingyangzi, and the old man's eyes were also focused on Qingyangzi.

Qingyangzi looked up at the sky and said: "Why do you need to act to test me? I am here just to surrender you."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "This little Taoist priest probably thinks that I am the mirage demon? Haha, a hundred years ago, the poor Taoist traveled around the world and passed by this place. He saw the Dharma here like clouds, so he

I guessed that there was a treasure here, but I never thought that I was temporarily deceived by the will of the law, and actually fell into the plan of the mirage and was trapped here for hundreds of years. This little Taoist priest, when I was walking between heaven and earth, you were not here yet.

to this world."

"No matter how much you talk about it, you can't deceive the poor man's eyes." Qingyangzi said lightly. Princess Wufeng was surprised, but before she could speak, Qingyangzi turned her wrist and there was a big seal in her hand.

, the top of the seal is a black phoenix fluttering its wings and raising its neck to the sky.

A high-pitched phoenix cry sounded, and the big seal burst into a black flame-like brilliance.

Qingyangzi threw his hand again, and the big seal flew into the sky. The black flame-like brilliance completely swallowed up the big seal. There was another high-pitched phoenix cry. As the phoenix cry sounded, a huge phoenix flew from there.

It rushed out of the big seal, and as soon as it appeared, the phoenix pounced on the old man.

The clear chirping sound and the burning black flame suddenly revealed a powerful force, violent and ferocious. The old man shouted in horror: "You..." and then quickly said: "I am not a mirage.

"

However, as soon as his voice fell, he was already thrown to the ground by Wu Feng's claws. In just a moment, his body was burned in the flames and burned into a pile of bones in an instant.

Qingyangzi waved his hand again, and the phoenix burning with black flames flew up again and fell towards Qingyangzi's hand. The closer it got to Qingyangzi, the smaller it became, and finally turned into a black king's seal and landed on Qingyangzi.

Zi's ​​palm.

Princess Wufeng looked at the calm face of Qingyangzi who was not far away, and said with some astonishment: "He, he said he was not a mirage. Master, you still killed him?"

Qingyangzi said: "He is a mirage transformed from the bones on the ground."

Princess Wufeng looked at the bones on the ground again and couldn't help but said: "Aren't these bones just left behind by the old man who was killed by the viewer just now?"

"The old man did die here, but he has been dead for a long time." Qingyangzi explained.

"Oh." Princess Wufeng responded. She looked up at the sky, and the cage-like sky had disappeared at some point.

But there was an inexplicable knot in her heart. She didn't know why. The old man's bones were not only scattered on the sand, but also seemed to be scattered in her heart.

Qingyangzi looked up at the slowly dimming sky, trying to sense the wisp of the will of law floating between heaven and earth. However, the will of law was very weak, as if floating in the wind, without any real meaning.

.

But Qingyangzi understood better that the treasure should be not far from here.

Moving forward again, Princess Wufeng stepped on the sand and suddenly felt like she was stepping on water waves, and every step her body took was like water waves surging, making her effortless, but

It happened to be so stable, and when I looked down, I saw that my feet had gained a layer of light at some point.

She glanced at Qingyangzi a few times, only to hear Qingyangzi say: "All things have animism. The fact that the princess can walk on the sand without running out of shoes comes from the princess's own will. Pindao just makes it appear."

Princess Wufeng couldn't help but sigh: "I originally thought that spells are like the swords in our hands. As long as we pick them up, we can pick them up and kill people. Now I know that spells are so incredible. Master, I want to learn from you.

Can magic be used?"

"Your Highness Princess, you are going to inherit the throne of Wufeng King. Practicing magic requires years of study. If you want to practice magic, you will definitely miss state affairs." Qingyangzi said.

Princess Wufeng stopped talking.

As we walked forward, suddenly, a river appeared in front of us. The origin of the river was a cliff. The cliff was not high, but clear water continued to gush out from under the cliff, forming a river. The river only flowed for a few miles.

Then it was submerged in the sand again, with only a strange stretch of river remaining.

Princess Wufeng saw a small canoe docked on the shore of the surging river. It was strange to say that there were no trees on both sides of the river, and they were all exposed rocks.

There was a man on the small boat, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. There was a long bamboo pole leaning on the side of the boat.

"There is someone." Princess Wufeng said.

The man on the boat stood up and watched Qingyangzi and Princess Wufeng approaching. He said loudly: "Are you two going to the Netherworld?"

"Netherworld?" Princess Wufeng looked sideways at Qingyangzi in surprise. Although she had heard about the Netherworld and the underworld since she was a child, she never thought that one day the road to the Netherworld would appear in front of her.

She looked at Qingyangzi, only to see Qingyangzi chuckle and say: "How could the Netherworld Ferryman wait for people to board the boat, and let you change everything, how could you escape the eyes of a poor man?"

Before Princess Wufeng could realize what was going on, Qingyangzi already had a black king's seal in his hand. The king's seal was like a phoenix flapping its wings and about to fly, with black flames surging out.

"Haha... Is there anyone else in this world who can transform into a Netherworld Ferryman? I think you must have been fooled by the mirage hidden here..."

Before he could finish his words, a clear phoenix sounded, and the King's Seal of the Black Phoenix Kingdom flew up and was submerged in the black flames. A huge black phoenix rushed out of nothingness.

Although Princess Wufeng had seen the appearance of this Wufeng before, after seeing it again, she was still so shocked by the cold, arrogant and ferocious power that she did not dare to move.

The man who called himself the Nether Ferryman looked up to the sky and laughed. He jumped into the water and disappeared the moment before the flaming black phoenix pounced on him. Then, the river section dried up the moment the flaming black phoenix pounced on him.

There is a withered boat in the river bed.

Princess Wufeng suddenly felt a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart. Regarding Qingyangzi's dissatisfaction, she turned towards Qingyangzi and said: "Master, he said that he was not a mirage, and the old man before also said that he was not.

"

Qingyangzi ignored her, but still walked forward, walking across the dry river bed,

Princess Wufeng suddenly felt a surge of resentment in her heart. She looked at Qingyangzi walking towards him and felt a sense of strangeness. She thought to herself: "Are all cultivators so proud?"

Is that so? Do they always only believe in their own judgment and don’t listen to anyone else’s opinions?”

There was a moment of silence between the two. Princess Wufeng's admiration for Qingyangzi for more than ten years, and the faint admiration that had been condensed between them, were blown away by the wind in this short period of time.

The night became darker and darker, and finally when I looked up I could only see a few stars, and a little fire appeared in the distance. After walking a little longer, I saw that it was a small house, and the surroundings of the small house were even more highlighted because of the light in the small house.

It was dark, I couldn't see clearly at all, and there was a faint cold wind blowing.

The small house was closed. Qingyangzi walked over and pushed open the door of the house. His behavior was extremely rude. In the eyes of Princess Wufeng, the strange feeling of alienation became even stronger.

point.

The house was pushed open, and a gust of wind blew inside. However, the lights inside did not even sway. There was an old woman and a little girl in the house. They were sitting on the table and eating dinner.

When Qingyangzi pushed open the door of the house rudely, the old woman raised her head and said: "You who are lost in the dark, I am very happy that you can come to me. You can rest here for a night. Please leave before the sun comes up."

"

The little girl next to her just looked up at Qingyangzi and then lowered her head to eat. The dish in front of her was a plate of lizards.

Qingyangzi just stood at the door without saying a word. He held the Black Phoenix King Seal in his hand and was about to take action. However, he heard the old woman smile coldly and said: "You killed Old Man Mo and drove away the Nether Ferryman. Now see

I am an old woman who will be killed when she comes. Haha, little Taoist priest, old woman, I have been alive for hundreds of years. Although Old Man Mo and I were plotted by the mirage and trapped here, do you know why the mirage dare not kill me?

?”

"You can't deceive the poor eyes, mirage demon." Qingyangzi said lightly, the black flames of the King Wufeng Seal in his hand surged, and a ferocious black phoenix emerged and rushed towards the old woman, "Boom",

In just an instant, the house was reduced to ashes in the black flames of the phoenix, and the old woman and the little girl were both burned by the flames under the phoenix's claws.

Behind Qingyangzi, Princess Wufeng was extremely angry. She pointed at Qingyangzi and said loudly: "Master, what kind of way are you cultivating? The royal seal of Wufeng Kingdom can no longer be lent to carry out killings.

.”

She didn't finish her words before she stretched out her hand and said: "I take back the seal of King Wufeng on behalf of the ninety-seven thousand people of Wufeng City."

Her appearance at this time was full of nobility and indifference, which was completely different from the freshness and reserve of the girl in Qingyang Palace before. When Qingyangzi heard Princess Wufeng's words about taking back the seal of Wufeng King, he

It was obvious that the power in the Wufeng King's Seal was quickly fading away. Although Princess Wufeng was not the king of the Wufeng Kingdom, she was the heir of the Wufeng Kingdom. Although she had not lost all her strength, she had held the King's Seal before.

Those who can feel the surge of power in the King's Seal are gone now.

He closed his eyes slightly in his heart and sighed secretly. At this moment, a glimmer of light appeared in the dark sky. The light was like a sword, spreading to the left and right. A huge monster appeared in the light, with its forehead

It has a single horn, a lizard-like head, and an open mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

A low roar resounded throughout the world, ringing in my heart.
