Chapter 61

Black mist rolled and converged, revealing the figures of three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Glancing at the bones on the ground, Uncle Wu sighed, "These desperadoes are getting bolder and bolder."

Uncle Yue frowned and said, "Their strength is also increasing. Last time, there were only a few Qi Condensation bandits, but this time, even Foundation Establishment cultivators have come. Judging from the magical artifacts they used, they don't seem to be mere wandering cultivators. They must have connections with the surrounding cultivation families. Wealth and treasures can truly sway people's hearts! It seems we have to abandon this divine artifact pavilion. What a pity..."

Uncle Dong snorted coldly, "Next time, we should invite a few senior brothers to cleanse the surrounding cultivation families of the Dark Mountain. Let's see which clowns dare to jump out!"

...

Under the night sky, the flying shuttle darted like lightning.

The three uncles stood in a trinity formation, jointly controlling the flying shuttle, while Qin Sang and the others stayed in the middle.

Wrapped in the light of the flying shuttle, Qin Sang felt no turbulence or cold wind. The mountains and plains below flashed by, evoking memories from his past life.

What incredible speed! Qin Sang envied the abilities of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but for now, he could only focus on diligent cultivation.

In front of others, Qin Sang didn't dare to take out his soul pill to aid his cultivation. The Five Elements Spirit Roots were indeed as renowned, and after a week, he had only accumulated a negligible amount of spiritual energy. He decided to stop wasting time and use this opportunity to practice spells.

Complex spells not only required reciting incantations but also needed hand seals to coordinate.

Qin Sang thought he was relatively smart and that it would be easy to learn, but unexpectedly, the incantations were all obscure and difficult, with strange and hard-to-understand ancient sounds and hidden meanings.

That was not all; each incantation required close coordination of spirit sense, hand seals, and spiritual energy, which made Qin Sang flustered. He realized that cultivation was not as simple as he thought.

He could only stammer through the incantations of the "Cloud Escape Technique" and wouldn't be able to cast spells anytime soon.

Even if he could勉强施放法术，这么长的施法时间在实战中也没有任何意义，法术还没准备好，就被对手干掉了。

要想法随心动，瞬息而发，只有长时间苦练，势必会和修炼功法冲突。

飞梭疾驰了三天，秦桑估计，这三天的路程已经数倍于自己之前一年辛苦赶的路。

管中窥豹，可见一斑，这就是仙和凡的差距。

幽山虽是料峭春寒，但冬雪已消融，飞梭飞出一段距离，便见草木枯黄、大地白衣仍在，越往北去，寒冷冰原、大雪纷飞。

第四天凌晨，飞梭突然坠落，秦桑等人被惊醒，先是一惊，接着意识到师门终于到了，不由得满脸期待。

不多时，秦桑便觉到脚下一阵沉重，环绕在身边的遁光消散，飞梭化为手掌大小落入董师叔手中，被他收了起来。

看到眼前的场景，秦桑心都凉了。

四面八方均是茫茫雪原，渺无人烟。

雪山连绵无际，一座座险峰直插天际，悬崖千仞，山腰处便有云雾环绕，底部则是万丈深渊，阴沉沉的雾霭常年不散，深不见底。

这座山，仿佛是从九幽深处伸出来的一柄利剑，剑指苍穹。

光秃秃的山上白雪皑皑，入眼看不到一株草木，一些裸露出来的岩石，俱是代表荒芜的漆黑。

山上没有想象中的亭台楼阁、曲水流觞，更没有郁郁葱葱、鸟语花香，仅能看到几座在悬崖上开辟的洞府，被积雪堵着门，显得无比简陋、寒酸。

这座充斥着荒凉孤寂的山峰，就是自己的师门？

看到秦桑等人满脸呆滞的样子，越师叔笑眯眯道：“魁阴宗一点仙家气象都没有，你们是不是很失望？”

众人的目光齐刷刷看向越师叔，没有人敢明言，眼神里分明就是这个意思。

董、胡两位师叔驾起法器向山顶飞去，越师叔却带着秦桑他们落到下方的峡谷。

“既已踏入修行之门，眼前盛景、锦衣玉食，甚至父母亲友，均是外物，只有能帮助你们提升修为的才是真……你们感受一下和外面有什么不同。”

说着，越师叔将遁光放开一个口子，寒风扑面，秦桑打了个冷颤，急忙运转灵力驱走寒气，接着耳边传来阵阵惊呼之声。

这时，秦桑也已经感觉到，进入魁阴宗的范围内，天地间的灵气竟然变得无比浓郁。

对修仙者来说，周围天地灵气的浓郁程度，直接影响到修行速度，但那些洞天福地已经被修仙宗门和世家瓜分，只有一些财大气粗的散修，能用灵石布置聚灵阵辅助修炼。

魁阴宗里的灵气竟然这么浓郁，此地很可能有传说中的灵眼、灵泉存在，这就是修仙宗门的底蕴。

越师叔说得没错，和浓郁的灵气相比，区区美景算得了什么。

越师叔带着他们飞进峡谷，很快就来到雾霭的上方，不料越师叔没有停下的意思，最后被雾气淹没，视线都被挡住了。

又下降了一段时间，越师叔才停住剑光，秦桑落到实地，左右一看，原来是一座悬崖边上的石桥。

石桥狭窄，他们就站在悬崖边上，下面就是万丈深渊，有个胆小的师兄紧紧靠着石壁，面色发白。

秦桑四下张望，发现整个峭壁上都被开辟出类似的石桥、石道、台阶，石桥相连的就是一座座洞府，有的石门紧闭，有的四敞大开，周围一个人影都没有。

站在这里，秦桑就感觉如在冰窟，此地常年浓雾不散，不见天日，地底的阴风嗖嗖地往骨头缝钻，也只有修仙者能勉强扛得住。

这种地方，就算再浓郁的天地灵气，也难以修行啊。

“随我来……”越师叔说了一句，抬脚向石桥尽头的一个洞府走去，众人连忙跟上。

到洞府前，越师叔挥手打出一道金光，洞府的石门自动打开，众人跟着越师叔走进洞府，身上顿时寒气尽祛，才知洞府中内有乾坤。

洞府里布置很简陋，石床、蒲团、香案。

香案后面有一张画像，画中是一位黑袍老人，凌空矗立在云间，飘然若仙。

越师叔走到香案前，点燃线香，向画像叩拜一番，转过身见秦桑等人尽皆肃立，满意地点点头，笑道：“从今日起，你们就是魁阴宗弟子，魁阴宗乃是我师门老祖魁阴上人所创，你们先来拜见老祖吧。”
