Liuxian Lake, located in the east of the Cunwei mountains, is only two miles away from the Big Lotus Peak, far down from the Big Lotus Peak, resembling an inverted pipa.

There is a "virtual picture" of a spirit fish in the lake. The imaginary picture is as small as the thumb, the body is almost transparent, and there are intermittent and extremely fine lines on its back, which often swim in groups, gathering and scattering like clouds, so that when the group gathers, it occasionally presents a mysterious and mysterious pattern, so it is called "imaginary picture".

The fish itself does not have any aura, but a large number of people live in groups, and under the collective swallowing vitality, it presents a wonderful scene of water mist steaming and clouds disappearing.

In his early years, Qingning Zhenren had watched the fish in Liuxian Lake to realize the Tao, but although the vast majority of the illusory patterns of the fish group dwelling were not in order, the disciples who had cultivated to a low level often fell into the illusory patterns, destroying their minds. Therefore, the previous generation of leaders attributed Liuxian Lake to Qingning Zhenren to prevent young disciples from hurting themselves by watching the fish when their foundation was unstable.

In the past, although there was a beautiful scenery in Liuxian Lake, very few disciples came to watch it.

The imaginary picture of the fish comes and goes without the slightest regularity, and most of the patterns presented are messy. Those with low cultivation are not allowed to enter, and disciples who have cultivated to a certain point may not be willing to spend time waiting here. Only a few people who encounter bottlenecks can come here to try the opportunity.

However, Liuxian Lake has been very lively these days.

In the middle of the lake, a small island arises out of thin air, and there is a carved building and a pavilion on the island, and dozens of quiet small buildings are also raised along the coast.

The news of Qingning Zhenren's achievement of Yuanying and success has been boiling, not only the peers in the sect celebrate, but also the other sects in the fast legs have also been present to congratulate, plus Qingning Zhenren has a wide range of travel, and it seems to be lively, so they will feast everyone on Liuxian Lake outside the micro mountains.

At this time, in addition to the imaginary picture in the lake, there are also a lot of singing and dancing of the Yuli Yuji, and the shore is also endless.

Such a scene is normal for Zhou Zi'an, a noble son of a family, but Nangong Beidou feels uncomfortable.

Although Nangong Beidou is also from a huge family, he has only been interested in swordsmanship since he was a child, and he is naturally not as familiar with these as Zhou Zi'an. In addition, although he is a little more restrained than in the past, he is still the proud son of the sky with a cold face, and he can't do things in all directions. However, Qingning Zhenren achieved Yuanying, and as a disciple, he had to come forward to receive him, so he could only sit patiently.

People above Jindan and those with noble status are all tasting tea in the pavilion in the lake, and are personally accompanied by the seniors of Cunwei or Qingning Zhenren.

The rest were entertained by the inner disciples of Nangong Beidou.

Except for the disciples who are dedicated to penance, ignore foreign affairs, or go out to the sect, most of the disciples come here to participate in the fun.

Nangong Beidou just wanted to make up the numbers, but his identity was different, whether it was congratulations or closeness, there was an endless stream, which made him feel irritable.

Fortunately, Zhou Zi'an is good at dancing with long sleeves, and his identity is also valuable, which has attracted a lot of attention for him, and most of the people by the lake are not high in cultivation and status, and after noticing Nangong Beidou's face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief on the evening of the second day.

As night approached, the fog on the lake became more and more intense, but they were all immortal cultivators, and the stars were like rain in an instant.

The distant mountains are like shadows, the buildings are viewed in the fog, and the singing of the fish in the lake is becoming more and more ethereal, such as the moon in the water and the flowers in the fog.

Nangong Beidou drank the wine made from the mountain spring alone, but he couldn't taste anything, so he drank one cup after another with a heavy heart.

After he returned to Cunwei Mountain from southern Xinjiang, he unexpectedly found that Shen Yuanxi had quietly left the mountain gate. If it weren't for the private transmission from Shen Yuanxi later, Nangong Beidou would almost be unable to sit still and leave the mountain again.

But in Shen Yuanxi's biography, Xiao was mentioned

Yu was seriously injured, and let him carefully consider how to convey it to Shao Heng and Xiao Zhuo, who is currently living in Weicheng with the Ouyang family.

At the beginning, the Xingluo Sect was in trouble, and Shao Heng had no intention of restoring his identity immediately and openly, so he did not leave a mark on Nangong Beidou in order to pass on the book.

He didn't dare to use the channels of the sect to lead Shao Heng or Shen Yuanxi to kill, and he didn't dare to use the power of the Nangong family, for fear of falling into the mouth, and being guided by the palace family to collude with the "Demon Gate". While thinking about it, Ouyang Nan returned to Cunwei Mountain under the escort of You Tong.

He pretended to visit a friend, and visited Ouyang Cheng, who was unconscious, and handed over the secret letter to You Tong and asked him to help find a way to pass it on. Considering that neither Shao Heng nor Gong Qin'er can be seen casually by You Tong now, Nangong Beidou also specially told You Tong that he could go to Chen Taichen.

You Tong has received the favor of Ouyang Nan and others, and his own chamber of commerce travels between the north and the south, so he naturally responds.

However, by the time You Tong delivered the letter, Shao Heng had already seen Xiao Yu in Ciyun Zhai, which was naturally not something that Nangong Beidou could predict.

And inform Xiao Zhuo......

Nangong Beidou shuddered, he admired the deeds of this Mr. Qinghua when he was young, and he also understood Xiao Zhuo's indifferent but protective temperament.

At this time, Xiao Zhuo was in Weicheng, mostly for the sake of the face of the Taiwei Zhenren and the medicine saint Ouyang Shan, who had been retreated. Although Shen Yuanxi's letter to Nangong Beidou was not very detailed, Nangong Beidou had seen Xiao Yu in Nanjiang at the beginning, and he guessed badly in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell Xiao Zhuo directly.

If Xiao Zhuo knew and left the vicinity of Cunwei, those victimized sect families were only afraid that they would make trouble with Cunwei again.

Therefore, Nangong Beidou made a decision privately, and only vaguely mentioned it to Ouyang Nan, hoping to use Ouyang Nan's mouth to let the medicine saint Ouyang Shan know a thing or two, so that he could make some preparations.

However, the thing that Nangong Beidou was most concerned about at this time was that he had smelled some unusual atmosphere recently.

Since beating his master Qingning Zhenren out of the customs, achieving Yuanying and announcing to the world, many fellow disciples always have a little temptation when they come to congratulate.

At first, Nangong Beidou didn't realize anything. It wasn't until he was entertaining others in the past few days, and he heard some of the private words of others at the banquet, that he realized that something was wrong.

Taiwei Zhenren is closed to death, and if he can't succeed in crossing the catastrophe, he will be wiped out. Before the luck came, Shouyuan was scattered and set foot on reincarnation.

In this way, the position of the head should be inherited by others.

Originally, according to the generation, one should be selected from among the first seats of the peaks to inherit the authority of the head, and according to the patriarchal law, it is not impossible for the Qingning Zhenren or Qingjing Zhenren to be in charge.

But since then, the authority of the head has been divided.

Taihao Zhenren seems to have experienced repeated blows, completely disheartened and closed-up, and gave up the position of acting head to Tailu Zhenren. And Qingning Zhenren and Qingjing Zhenren still hold the same sectarian weapon, and there is also the support of several peaks behind them, which seems to be at odds with Tailu Zhenren.

The elders are not superior for the time being, and among their younger generation, Shen Yuanxi is unmatched.

On the one hand, Xiu is the first among his peers in the country, and on the other hand, the three parties who seem to be at odds with each other use Shen Yuanxi to achieve a balance.

Nangong Beidou naturally knew that his master also relied on Shen Yuanxi, but he really couldn't see through Tailu Zhenren. In the years that Shen Yuanxi has seized power, Tailu Zhenren has sometimes blocked and sometimes let go, making people unable to see their intentions.

But from the perspective of others, this matter is quite strange.

In addition, Qingning and Qingjing occasionally quarreled because they could not reach a consensus on some things, and when they were heard by people with intentions, rumors spread around, only to feel that some people within Cunwei were secretly competing for the position of the head.

And now, Qingning real people have broken through the barrier and feasted colleagues, which is a kind of strength in the eyes of many people

signal.

The first Shouyuan of several peaks has been around for a long time, and many people in Cunwei do not want the elderly elders of the "Tai" generation to take over the position of the head of the family. And everyone's optimism about Shen Yuanxi has also increased the "weight" on Qingjing Zhenren, and they all think that the first seats, including Tailu Zhenren, did not elect a new leader, but waited for Qingjing Zhenren to become the head of the house after achieving Yuanying.

But Qingning Zhenren suddenly became Yuanying Zhenren one step ahead, which made many people think that the turmoil in Cunwei was difficult to settle.

There are many apprentices under Qingning Zhenren, and there are also outstanding disciples, except for Nangong Beidou, the rest of the disciples are also talented. It's just that Shen Yuanxi's light is too bright, overshadowing the others.

Among Nangong Beidou's peers, there are many people who are secretly plotting, and even want to pull him together, with the help of the Nangong family, to help Qingning Zhenren take the position of the head of the family.

And Nangong Beidou knew that there was indeed this meaning in his clan, but he didn't let him know it on the surface.

In the past few days, everyone has congratulated him, and from time to time he takes the opportunity of this banquet to form a good relationship with Nangong Beidou, but it is not only because he is from a big family or because of his inner family.

The fish in the lake changed her song, holding the night pearl and dancing in the lake, which was beautiful.

It's just that Qingning Zhenren clearly knew what he was planning a few days ago, but he didn't tell Nangong Beidou, only saying that he didn't have enough heart, and it was easy for others to see something. So the more Nangong Beidou thought about it, the more depressed he became, he only hated that the wine at the banquet was light, he couldn't get drunk, and his expression became more and more ugly.

In this way, others saw what they thought and guessed more in their hearts, and I don't know how many versions of the rumors there were for a while.

Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away, but it was Zhou Zi'an's piece that didn't know what interesting things he said, and everyone laughed heartily. On the other side, there was another applaudation, it was Shangguan Chengtai's spirits from nowhere, and he was fighting with others for the amount of wine.

Nangong Beidou saw that it was not early, so he simply stood up with his sleeves brushed up, bowed his hand to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and said a word to Qingning Zhenren, and simply left to go home.

Not far away, Zhou Zi'an leaned on the bamboo couch and gently shook the fan, as if intoxicated by the sound of silk bamboo and the song of the graceful fish girl around him.

But he squinted slightly, but when Nangong Beidou left, he raised his eyebrows and seemed to shake his head secretly.

Someone next to him complimented him, but Zhou Zi'an didn't care, and his expression on his face was only the demeanor of a son of a family, but his heart was not as relaxed as his appearance.

Nangong Beidou has a lot of things on his mind, and he Zhou Zi'an also has a lot on his mind.

However, in the past few days, Zhou Zi'an aims to make friends with some people who are useful to the clan, although he is in a heavy mood at the moment, he will not treat people with a cold face like Nangong Beidou.

He lightly nodded his forehead with a fan, and was about to say something to the people around him, when suddenly his heart jumped violently, and he felt a gaze staring at him.

Zhou Zi'an subconsciously looked up, but saw Lu Ji with a blank expression in the crowd.

Lu Ji ...... He actually came?" Zhou Zi was quite strange.

If it weren't for the fact that the cultivator has a good memory, if it weren't for Zhou Zi'an seeing Lu Ji last year, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recognize this person today.

In the past, Lu Ji was not as handsome as Shen Yuanxi, but he was also a handsome man, with his own chic and graceful appearance. But I don't know when Lu Ji, who used to interact with people and even appeared at the outer door, began to close the door. When it reappears, it becomes a little disfigured, silent, and even looks a little eerie.

At such a time, between the water and mist at night, the faint and unclear gaze made Zhou Zi feel at ease.

Zhou Zi'an endured the strange feeling in his heart, and only raised his glass to Lu Ji from afar.

Lu Ji, who was in the dark, didn't respond to any movements, but just looked away indifferently.
