Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sunrise
Xihe Mountain is not far from Qingshui Town, of course, this is also for cultivators. After only half a day's effort, Luo Banxia had reached the foot of Xihe Mountain. Looking up, I saw that the peaks and peaks were stacked on top of each other, and there was a different scenery than the Nuling Mountain.
Xihe Mountain Range is a vast mountain group, and the world-famous Xihe Gate is on the main peak of Suoyang Peak, Luo Banxia asked a few villagers at the foot of the mountain to clear the direction, and then got up with the sword and went north. Xihemen is well known within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and it is not difficult to ask for directions. After only flying for a moment, Luo Banxia found the location of Suoyang Peak, and his figure landed on the mountainside in a flash.
Suoyang Peak is the largest peak in the Xihe Mountains, and the open space on the top of the mountain stretches for miles and can accommodate a large number of people. The whole Xihe Mountain is not like the Nuling Mountain, it is a real mountain, so Luo Banxia can not fly straight up, in order to show respect, but also have to walk from the mountainside.
After walking for a while, I came to a corner of the mountainside, only to see that the front was built with white jade to form the shape of a heavenly gate more than ten meters high, and there was a hot stamping plaque on it, and three big characters were written on it: Xihemen. The two Xihemen disciples wearing yellow Taoist robes stood solemnly, their expressions were cold, and they looked well-trained on weekdays.
Luo Banxia stepped forward quickly, bowed his hand and said: "Hello two senior brothers, the younger brother is Luo Banxia, a disciple of the right head of the Female Spirit Palace. ”
The disciple on the left glanced at Luo Banxia coldly, looked up and down, and said, "You are a disciple of the Female Spirit Palace, do you have an identity certificate?"
Luo Banxia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "No." However, two days ago, several of my senior brothers and sisters had already visited first, and their leader was named Yun'e. ”
The man nodded indifferently, whispered a few words to the person on the right, and then said to Luo Banxia: "Okay, I'll go up and report it, and I'm sorry for you to wait here for a while." ”
Luo Banxia arched his hand and said, "Then it's hard work, senior brother." ”
After the man finished speaking, he walked straight up the mountain, and Luo Banxia waited patiently in place. Time passed minute by minute, and the person was not seen turning around for a long time, during which Luo Banxia also accosted another disciple intentionally or unintentionally, but the disciple still did not say a word and stood quietly.
After about two hours, the disciple finally came back, raised his hand sideways towards Luo Banxia, and said, "Please come with me." Luo Banxia followed behind him and walked towards the top of Suoyang Peak.
Three days later, in the Xihe Hall of Suoyang Peak.
At this time, on both sides of the main hall, they were all neatly lined up with Xihemen disciples in yellow robes, all of them standing solemnly, handsome, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. On the main seat in the hall, there are seven old men sitting upright, some men and women, with different shapes, but they are all calm, and they should be the heads and elders of Xihemen.
One of them has a childish face, fairy wind bones, a carved gold robe with a three-legged golden crow pattern, and his eyes are blazing, at this time he smiled at the five people standing in the hall, and said: "All the teachers and nephews have worked tirelessly, and I would like to welcome you on behalf of Xihemen." ”
The five people in the field were Luo Banxia and the other female Spirit Palace disciples. At this time, Yun'e stepped forward and handed over the two exquisite brocade boxes in her hand, and a disciple who had already come out next to her reached out to take it and stepped aside. Yun E smiled slightly and said, "Yun E, a disciple of the Female Spirit Palace, brought all the junior brothers and sisters to meet Uncle Xiyang. Master ordered me to bring the prizes of this World Conference, and asked Master Xiyang to check them. Behind him, Luo Banxia and the four of them also saluted together.
Xiyang Zhenren laughed and said, "Very good, very good." I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if Master Ji and Senior Brother Yanwu are okay lately?"
Yun'e said respectfully: "Senior Brother and Master are very good, and they often mention Uncle Xiyang to me, and they are very concerned about you." ”
Xiyang Zhenren smiled even more heartily, looked at Yun'e carefully, and said: "Haha, Yun'e's mouth is so sweet, the last time I saw you, you were a half-old little girl, and now you are a beautiful big girl." ”
Although Xiyang Zhenren is in a high position, his personality seems to be very free. Yun'e's face turned red and said, "Uncle Xiyang laughed, you are as young as before." ”
While everyone was talking and laughing, a disciple outside the hall suddenly walked quickly, said hello when he passed by the people in the Female Spirit Palace, and then went straight to the first Xiyang Zhenren. Xiyang Zhenren frowned, unless something big happened, the disciples would never dare to come up and disturb themselves at this time. At that moment, I saw that the disciple whispered a few words in the ear of Xiyang Zhenren, Xiyang Zhenren's face turned cold, and he sent the disciple back, and then smiled at Yun'e and the five people, "I still have some things to deal with here, all the teachers and nephews have a tired journey, you can go to the guest room to rest first, and you must have a good time in my Xihe Mountain these days." ”
Yun'e saw that Xiyang Zhenren's face was solemn, and said, "Uncle Xiyang, has something happened? Xihe and the female spirit are a family, and they have always acted at the same time. If there's anything you need our help with, please don't hesitate to ask. ”
Xiyang Zhenren smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there are some monsters hurting people in a small village in the southwest, and then I can send a few disciples to investigate." After a pause, Xiyang Zhenren said to a disciple on the side: "Guangbai, you take all the junior brothers and sisters of the Female Spirit Palace to rest." The disciple named Guangbai answered, and then led everyone to the outside of the hall, Yun'e and the other female spirit palace disciples bowed down again, and after thanking Xiyang Zhenren, they also followed Guangbai.
Xiyang Zhenren glanced at the six elders, and all the elders understood, got up with him, and went to the apse to discuss. The rest of the disciples in the hall did not receive the order, and still stood straight one by one, without the slightest intention of turning heads and ears, standing quietly and waiting, and the scene was quiet for a while.
——————————————————————————————————————
Xihe Mountain is different from the exquisite scenery of the Nuling Palace, which is full of natural scenes, and the guest rooms are located in one of the most quiet and quiet corners of the main peak, Suoyang Peak. In Xihemen, it is not divided into three peaks like the Nuling Palace, but all the disciples and elders live on the top of the mountain clearing at the top of Suoyang Peak, with houses and pavilions, built against the mountain, and there is a feeling of harmony between man and nature. At this time, it was early in the morning, and the sky was still before dawn, and early in the morning, a series of hurried knocks sounded outside the door of Luo Banxia's room, and then a crisp voice said: "Little thief, hurry up! ”
Luo Banxia tidied up his clothes, opened the door, and said with a smile: "It's time, it's ......" Before the word could be spoken, Ziyuan had already grabbed his arm and ran out with him like a gust of wind. Luo Banxia only felt a strong force coming from his arm, and his body had been dragged away by Ziyuan uncontrollably. After struggling for a while, he found that it was useless in the face of absolute power, so he also gave up resistance, and could only smile silently in his heart: "You must not give her close, otherwise I am afraid that even the gods will not be able to break free." ”
After a while, the two came to a platform, only to see that the platform was paved with white jade, and there was a cliff below, and there were no weeds and dust around, so it was obvious that someone cleaned it every day. This is one of the eight views of Xihe Qiankun Risheng Terrace, yesterday Ziyuan specially inquired to the disciples of Xihe Gate, so this morning Laluo Banxia came here.
The two sat down in the center of the stage, and the breeze was still a little cool. Shion opened her big watery eyes and looked intently in the direction of the east, motionless. The breeze ruffled a strand of her hair, fluttering on her face, Luo Banxia smiled slightly, and unconsciously wanted to reach out to help Ziyuan tidy up, but her hand stopped in the air. Zi Yuan turned her head and saw Luo Banxia looking at her blankly, and couldn't help but be a little strange, "Hmm, what's wrong?"
Luo Banxia's face was hot, and he said nervously: "No...... It's nothing. ”
Shion didn't care, pulled her hair, and continued to look quietly towards the east.
As time passed, a glimmer of light gradually rose in the east, breaking the silence of the night. The light seemed to be spiritual, beating gently, struggling to climb up, and the light of excitement appeared in Ziyuan's eyes at the same time. With the rising light, the surrounding area from far and near is gradually rendered into a golden red, soft and warm. Finally, a few minutes later, the beautiful disc revealed its full form in the air. Wanwa dawns, and the heavy eaves are collected at night.
Shion is a simple girl, she can be happy when she has delicious food, beautiful scenery, and fresh life. At this time, Ziyuan looked at the rising sun in a daze, her soft face looked shining in the golden light, and Luo Banxia was also looking at Ziyuan in a daze at this time.
The scenery in your eyes is so beautiful, but the scenery in my eyes is a hundred times more beautiful than that.
The beautiful scenery is always fleeting, Ziyuan got up and brushed the dust, and a faint fragrance came into Luo Banxia's nose, only to hear her crisp voice say: "Let's go, little lewd thief, accompany me to go shopping, it's the first time I've come to Xihemen." ”
Luo Banxia smiled warmly, also stood up, and led Ziyuan towards the outside of the Sunrise Terrace. The house layout of Xihemen is like the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, extending in all directions, and Ziyuan is easy to get lost when walking alone, so he is called to accompany Luo Banxia together. After walking for a while, the two of them walked out of the sunrise platform and walked along the path to the back mountain.
Xihemen is full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and the faint fragrance comes to the face. The two of them didn't speak along the way, Ziyuan was looking east and west on the road, and he didn't have time to take care of Luo Banxia, while Luo Banxia had something on his mind and followed silently behind.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of shouting in front of me. Zi Yuan became interested and said to Luo Banxia: "It must be the senior brothers of Xihemen who are practicing, let's go over and see if it's okay, little lewd thief." ”
Luo Banxia was speechless for a while, this little lewd thief Ziyuan was used to shouting, and it seemed that he couldn't change his words, he didn't care, but when he was heard by others, he might think what happened to Ziyuan. He nodded at the moment and said, "If you want to see it, then go over and have a look." ”
Shion cheered and quickened her pace. The two walked for a while, turned a few corners, and came to a clearing. I saw that at this time, there were two disciples of Xihemen in the clearing, punching and kicking a big tree, shouting from time to time. Luo Banxia couldn't help but feel strange, it stands to reason that it would be easy for a cultivator to interrupt a big tree, but looking at the two of them, it seemed to be quite difficult. When he looked closer, he realized that the two of them were not using the Dao method, and they were beating the tree with their bare hands.
Ziyuan was also interested, and immediately jumped up and ran towards the two.
