The clouds and mist are ethereal, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, lingering in the secluded valley.

The valley is hidden, inaccessible, and there is a phantom array outside, which is invisible to ordinary people.

The valley is huge, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the spires of the buildings halfway up the mountain are upright, most of them are not high, and the half-arc arches have a curling sound that seems to come out and echo in the valley.

In the middle of the empty valley there is a lake, the water is so clear that the bottom of the lake is unfathomable, and you can see that there are fish swimming in it, and it seems that there are huge things moving slowly in it, rippling.

On top of a bluestone by the lake sat a beautiful girl.

Wearing a pink Luo skirt, wearing a flower ornament on her head, and carrying a crystal bracelet on her hand, with a thin layer of light veil on the outside.

There is a schoolbag next to him, and a big-eyed rabbit pendant is on the schoolbag.

The schoolbag is also pale pink, which shows how much the girl loves pink.

She was barefoot, gently plucking the lake, her little feet soft and pink, and her fair ankles without a trace of wrinkles.

The girl looks very pure, with a small cherry mouth, and her lips are also cute pale pink, and her two eyes seem to be filled with brilliant stars, bright and spiritual.

She was in a daze when a young woman's voice came from afar:

"Senior Sister Ding, Master asked you to go to the main hall. ”

Luo Ding responded with a smile, jumped off the bluestone gently, grabbed the schoolbag next to him and walked towards the mountain.

Suddenly, the surface of the lake boiled, the water vapor steamed, the water ripples spread around, and something faintly wanted to come out.

When Rodin heard the voice, he turned around and saw a long red fin rising from the surface of the lake, gradually rising, revealing a cute little white marked scale.

A super large red, white-veined fish demon.

The big fish is about 15 meters long, and its two round eyes are sparkling like light bulbs, which is very cute.

The big fish actually showed a reluctant expression and slowly swam to the lake, and the two big eyes stared at Luo Dingdang.

Rodin smiled, walked to the lake, touched the big fish that was coquettish to her, and tapped the small scales on its head.

The small scales emitted a small lightning bolt and hit the back of Luo Ding's hand, but it had no power at all, only a faint tingling sensation.

Rodin smiled and scratched its scales again, and the big fish showed a look of enjoyment, and moved his head twice, rubbing her hand slightly.

Luo Ding laughed and said, "Okay, Ah Shui, I have time to see you again, I don't have much time to spend with you......"

The big fish Ah Shui let out a strange chirping sound aggrievedly, and rubbed her palm before slowly sinking into the water.

Luo Ding then left with the senior sister who came to pick her up.

Although Luo Dingdang spent the whole summer in the Shadow Spirit Valley, she actually didn't go around much and stayed in the guest house at the bottom of the valley.

Because she hadn't conducted a formal disciple initiation ceremony, she couldn't go to many places in the Shadow Spirit Valley according to the rules.

Including the main basilica.

She walked up the winding mountain path, and there were flowers on the side of the road that she had never seen before, bright and vibrant, and there was a fragrance that was a bit like roses, but certainly not roses, and gave a striking feeling.

She was just about to touch the flower, but the senior sister next to her immediately grabbed her and said urgently: "Don't touch that flower, that flower is a unique plant in the Shadow Spirit Valley, called the Lingyin Flower, it smells sobering and refreshing, and it helps cultivation, but once it touches the flower, it will release a foul smell, which can suffocate a congenital master and coma for a short time." ”

Luo Ding was startled when she heard this, she knew the cultivation level division of the cultivation world, and the innate master's spiritual power was already very powerful, and she would be stunned by this flower, and she was a newly acquired little budding newcomer who had just started to provoke this kind of thing.

Luo Ding thanked his senior sister in shock, and didn't dare to move anymore, and followed his sister's pace in a proper manner.

Halfway up the mountain.

She finally arrived at the main hall of the Shadow Spirit Valley, she actually knew what she was doing this time, wasn't it just to make up a disciple ceremony, and then take a set of disciple robes?

She actually didn't quite understand why her biological mother was like this, obviously there was a lot of time to complete this simple ritual in the two months of summer vacation, why did she have to wait until the school started to do this?

Odd.

The main hall of the Shadow Spirit Valley is completely different from the Sword Forest, if the Great Hall of the Sword Forest is majestic, magnificent and luxurious, then the main hall of the Shadow Spirit Valley is small and exquisite, and the inside is very good.

It is said to be a large hall, but in fact, it is just a large house with a height of five meters formed spontaneously by flowers and plants.

It was the first time Luo Dingdang had seen such a building, and it was all composed of trees and long colorful flowers.

The doorway is a curtain formed naturally by long vines.

Luo Ding opened the curtain at the signal of his senior sister and entered the interior.

What amazed her was that the tables and chairs here were all made of plants, which was really a miraculous creation.

Shadow Spirit Valley only accepts women, and all the people standing in the main hall are women, there are younger disciples, and there are older elder seats.

And her biological mother.

Her biological mother had only seen her twice before the summer vacation, both times directly at her adoptive parents' homes.

And now she has been with her biological mother for two months, but she still feels very rusty, and when she faces her biological mother, she always unconsciously puts away her eccentricity and becomes serious and restrained.

It's like an ordinary little guy who met the super boss at once.

If you put aside the blood relationship between the two people, it is indeed the appearance of a small person seeing a big person.

This also shows that Luo Dingdang did not regard this Shadow Spirit Valley Lord as his mother.

The owner of the Shadow Spirit Valley is called Ji Yue'e, and she is a very beautiful woman, but she has a serious face, is not angry and arrogant, and her momentum is like a female general.

is different from Ah Cai's atmosphere, her momentum is like a domineering big man, and she is a very serious man.

She sat on the main seat made of hundreds of flowers and vines, with her hands on both sides, obviously sitting in the position and looking up at Luo Dingdang, but that look gave Luo Dingdang a feeling of looking down.

Rodin put the small bag aside and bowed to her biological mother according to etiquette.

"Mother. ”

Ji Yue'e snorted and said, "Xuanxuan, you must also know the purpose of my call to come." ”

Luo Ding's name was Lin Xuan when he hadn't been lost by Ji Yue'e.

Luo Dingdang nodded: "Yes." ”

Ji Yue'e spoke in a deep voice again: "Xuanxuan, the reason why I let you enter so late is because you are the Heavenly Star of Shadow Spirit Valley, and you are the chosen one. ”

Luo Ding looked confused, "Why? I don't seem to have done anything, I don't work hard in cultivation, it's only been two months to the early stage of the day after tomorrow, I shouldn't have any cultivation talent, why did I become the chosen one?"

An elder next to him opened his mouth and replied, "Do you know what is the most important thing in Shadow Spirit Valley?"

Rodin shook his head and said he didn't know.

The elder continued to speak: "The Shadow Spirit Valley has only been inherited for three hundred years, and our ancestor relied on a big fish god called Spirit Shadow to dominate the world, so he was able to establish the Shadow Spirit Valley. ”

Rodin suddenly thought of the big fish in the lake where she frolicked for the past two months.

No...... No way!

Rodin swallowed and stammered, "The fish you are talking about will not be ...... Ah Shui, huh?"

Ji Yue'e said indifferently: "Of course not." ”

Luo Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Ji Yue'e say: "The fish god of the ancestor we are talking about is your grandmother Ah Shui. ”

“……”

Rodin almost choked on one breath.

Rodin: "So?"

Ji Yue: "So you are the third-generation master of the Fish God expected by the Ancestors, that is, the Chosen One of the Shadow Spirit Valley. ”

Luo Ding hesitated: "Then, why do I have to be the master of Ah Shui?"

Ji Yue'e: "The fish god is born as a mutated Xuanhuang Fish Demon, and their recognition of the owner is to allow the golden scales on their heads to be touched, and they will release lightning to celebrate, which will not be the case for anyone other than the master." ”

The elder continued, "We have tried many times, but they have not been able to get close to the fish god, and you have done it easily, you are our chosen one, the next generation of Shadow Spirit Valley Lords. ”

Rodin was speechless.

She really didn't know that the story would develop like this, she just wanted to mess around, how could she be regarded as a chosen one for some reason......

Who knows how that cute big fish can be this kind of identity, I already knew that I was not so nymphomaniac The appearance of the big fish, I have to go up and touch it, touch a snakeskin monster!

Luo Ding didn't want to be the next generation of valley masters at all, she swallowed her saliva, looked at Ji Yue'e and asked, "Mother, I ...... Can you not be the chosen one......"

Ji Yue'e raised her eyebrows, "No! Rules are rules! Since you have been chosen, you must be the chosen one!"

Rodin looked depressed, hey, she really just wants to mess around!

Rodin sighed with a bitter face.

Alas, what can she do, is there any other way than to agree? The situation is stronger than people, not to mention that she is also this kind of character who should be a gangster and can do whatever she likes, isn't she just a chosen person? It doesn't matter, she should be.

“…… All right. Rodin said yes and exhaled.

Ji Yue'e finally showed a relieved expression and said, "Okay, let's hold the disciple ceremony and the inheritance ceremony together." ”

Several elders also smiled on the side, finalizing the process, and there was no room for Luo Ding to interject.

Luo Ding was deeply helpless, life is really difficult, there are shackles everywhere, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves......

The subsequent disciple entry process is very simple, that is, the distribution of disciple uniforms and disciple tokens, as well as the entry of martial arts.

And the final inheritance ceremony is more complicated.

Ji Yue'e didn't know what mechanism was moved on the ground, and the vines on the ground slowly opened, revealing a black step leading to the bottom of the mountain.

It was pitch black and there was no light, and only the whirring wind below could be faintly heard.

Ji Yue'e and the two elders took her down.

One of the red-clothed elders flexed his fingers, and a beam of light appeared on his fingers, illuminating the downward passage.

Feeling a little comfortable, Rodin moved closer to the three of them, and followed them all the way down.

The passage is quite spacious, except for some bottomless dimness, which is not bad.

The rock wall is a little damp, after all, they are walking in the mountain, but it is not as cold as expected, and the temperature is still moderate.

After walking for about ten minutes, Roddingdown finally heard something unusual.

It's the sound of flowing water.

The further down she went, the sound of the water became clearer, and she heard the crisp sound of the waves crashing against the stones.

The light in the elder's hand disappeared because there was light below.

When Rodin saw the direction of the light, he finally reached the bottom.

She saw a very strange sight.

A huge column of water actually stands in the air!

The water was so clear that if it weren't for the slight ripples and the refraction of the light, she would have thought that there was no water column.

The water column should not actually be called a water column, it is like a regular shape of a cup, but it can be suspended in the air, and there is no container outside to obstruct it.

Luo Ding recognized it, this is the bottom of the lake in the valley!

I didn't expect such a strange scene underneath!

Except for the invisible curtain of water. It was about the size of a football field underneath, and it was full of shiny stones that glowed with colorful light, adding a lot of fantasy color to the bottom.

Ji Yue'e and the two elders' faces remained unchanged, obviously they had seen too much, but Luo Dingdang was very cheerful.

She saw a large red fish with white spots and stripes wagging its tail in the deep water behind the water curtain and swimming towards her at great speed.

She ran over and saw Ah Shui's cute big face showing a super cute smile, her heart was about to melt, and she put her hand into the erected water and gently touched the scales on Ah Shui's forehead.

The scales were indeed a little different, more golden than the rest of the scales next to them, like a royal family.

Ah Shui let out a cute chirping sound, obviously very happy, and a faint lightning bolt appeared on the scales.

Ji Yue'e spoke behind her: "This is the place where you are going to receive the inheritance, are you ready?"

Rodin looked back with a smile: "Hmm." ”
