The bright moon was rising, the stars were shining, and under the inky night, Dean Hu Haiyang took Chen Linci through the crowded streets and came to the star-picking tower in the palace.

This is also the first time that Chen Linci has entered the palace twice in one day.

Wang Shulin's husband was guarding downstairs, and when he saw the figures of Dean Hu and Chen Linci, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and introduced the two into the building.

Through the warm yellow light in the building, Dean Hu Haiyang Hu saw the gray hair of Wang Shulin's husband's sideburns, and sighed lightly.

He is the same age as Master Yang Xiudao, and he is about the same age as His Majesty the Emperor and Wang Shulin's husband, and the older generation has passed away one after another over the years, even if he is a cultivator with a weak temperament, how can he not be full of emotion in his heart when he sees these changes with his own eyes.

With Chen Linci and Wang Shulin's old husband to the star-picking tower, His Majesty the Emperor was lying on the chair with his eyes closed, and the starlight outside the building shone on his face, making his face look a little pale.

Dean Hu was in a somewhat complicated mood, stepped forward, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, Chen Linci has already chosen a destination. ”

"Oh?" His Majesty the Emperor opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Is it the Qingshan Sect or the Zhongzhou Sect?"

Dean Hu was silent: "Neither." ”

"Then he is planning to become a monk in the Great Zen Temple?" His Majesty the Emperor smiled.

Dean Hu Haiyang couldn't laugh, he said lightly: "Chen Linci wanted to go to the Confucian dojo, so he chose a small dojo of Confucianism in the Southern Ming Kingdom. ”

"Nan Mingguo...... His Majesty the Emperor's tone was obviously a hint of loss, and he muttered: "Nan Mingguo is also a good place to go, but it's really too far away from my Great Chu." ”

Chen Linci knew that at this time, it was time for him to step forward and say something, so he walked to Dean Hu's side and said lightly: "Your Majesty, even if Chen Linci goes to the Great Song Dynasty, his heart also belongs to our Chu State. ”

His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly, and said: "Where the wind is going to blow, it is never the tree that decides, the Great Chu Kingdom will always be your home, no matter where you go in the future, remember to come back and rest when you are tired." ”

Chen Linci nodded heavily and said, "Chen Linci is in mind. ”

"Actually, it's good to go to Confucianism. His Majesty the Emperor smiled, looked at the starry sky outside the building, and said: "Confucianism is the way of sages, and the cultivation is the heart of the world, with your kid's ability, there must be no problem in entering the Confucian dojo, it's just a matter of time, in the future, you will be like Zhou Yijin Yuan Jiawei and Mr. Lu Xinghe to make a name, and it is also the pride of my Great Chu State to say it." ”

Chen Linci smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Chen Linci will live up to his high expectations." ”

His Majesty the Emperor pointed to the night outside the building and said, "This attic is called the Star Picking Tower, do you know what Chen Linci means?"

Chen Linci said: "Picking the star tower, it should be said that this attic is too high, high enough to pick the stars in the sky." ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "What you said is good, but it's not all right, the name of the Star Picking Tower is taken from the Qinglian Sword Immortal's 'dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands.'

In the verses, all the cultivators in this world rely on the power of the stars to cultivate, so the stars are the supreme existence on the endless continent, and many high-rise pavilions will add a star to their names intentionally or unintentionally, but most of them are also the type of stargazing platform, and few people dare to use the arrogant and domineering name of picking stars. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said that he stopped here for a while, and Chen Linci wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start, so he had to be silent and did not respond.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to care about the embarrassing atmosphere of the scene, he paused for a long time before continuing: "The name of the Star Picking Building is already extremely domineering, but there is still a person in the world who is so domineering that he puts these two words into action. ”

Chen Linci knew what His Majesty the Emperor wanted to say, and sure enough, before he could speak, His Majesty continued: "I must have told you about this matter, that person is the second master of the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion, who once amazed the top figure of the entire Endless Continent, and is considered to be the most promising genius on the continent after Yang Lao Linggong soared. ”

Chen Linci nodded and said, "Linci knows these things. ”

"But that's not the most important thing. His Majesty the Emperor suddenly said solemnly: "The most important thing is that although the second master of the Yang family is famous for his marksmanship, he is also the only one who has cultivated Haoran's swordsmanship to the extreme in all these years. ”

Chen Lin's resignation was silent.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed and said, "You should understand what I mean, I hope that you will be able to reach the peak realm of the second master of the Yang family in the future, but I don't want you to be like him and become a demon that makes the world fearful." ”

Chen Linci nodded heavily and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Chen Linci knows it." ”

"It's good to have a number, it's good to have a number. His Majesty the Emperor muttered, then pointed to the stars in the night, and said with a smile: "I am approaching my birthday, and I will soon go to see the national teacher, and when I see him in the sky, I will have a good chat with him, and I think he will be proud of you." “

"Your Majesty......" The old man Wang Shulin on the side couldn't help but burst into tears.

When it comes to Master Yang Xiudao, there are no tears in the corners of His Majesty's eyes, I don't know why, these days he is getting calmer and calmer, and there is no longer the heart-rending sadness and pain that he had at the beginning, maybe the day of reunion is getting closer and closer, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the bright starry sky, and thought faintly in his heart.

It's just that there are thousands of stars in this night, which one are you, old boy?

I'm afraid I'll have to look for you for a long time when I'm in the night, what a hateful fellow.

......

......

When it came to Master Yang Xiudao, Wang Shulin's husband was still in tears, not to mention Chen Linci, who was a personal disciple.

Master Yang Xiudao's life is full of ups and downs, he was high-spirited when he was young, but he encountered such a big turning point in his life in Tianqi Mountain, and after returning to Yingtian City, he helped His Majesty the Emperor kill Zhao Xicheng in Qinglongmen, and then spent his whole life thinking about going abroad.

Master Yang Xiudao, like the old dean Zao Wou-ki, is a great person in the true sense of the word, despite his one

Life is not perfect.

In previous years, in Linxi City, although there were drunkard old Taoist priests who raised Chen Linci as an adult, but only in Yingtian City, in Master Yang Xiudao, Chen Linci really felt a kind of home warmth, although Chen Linci liked to use the three words of the old god stick to make fun of him on weekdays, but in Chen Linci's heart, Master Yang Xiudao was the real kind of existence like a master and a father.

The death of Master Yang Xiudao has always been a knot in his heart that he can't erase, that is, his current strength is too low, if he had the ability of the god general and his old man, the Escape Mountain and Qingyang Palace would have been razed to the ground long ago.

It was late at night, and after leaving the Star Picking Tower, Dean Hu took Chen Linci and walked in Yingtian City.

"Is there anything left undone?" Dean Hu suddenly asked as he walked on the road.

Chen Linci thought for a while and said: "Linci has only been in Yingtian City for less than a year, where there are too many things, the only thing that can't be relieved is my brother Cheng Zihao, I don't know what he can do in Yingtian City after I leave." ”

"It's simple. Dean Hu Haiyang smiled and said, "I will save this Cheng Zihao's life." ”

Chen Lin was overjoyed, and said in his heart, why did I look for Jin Zihui so many times when your old man said this, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Dean Dae." ”

Dean Hu Haiyang smiled and said, "Besides this, you don't have anything else." ”

Chen Linci shook his head.

Dean Hu sighed and said, "Then the girl of the Zhao family, didn't you want to go and see it before you left the Chu Kingdom?"

Chen Linci stopped and stood in silence for a long time.

"You're right, Dean, I should have gone and checked. He said seriously.

"I'll be waiting for you at Starry Night Academy. Dean Hu smiled, threw Chen Linci in place, and walked back.

With the lights of thousands of homes, Chen Linci walked on the road a little distracted, and his mood at this time was very similar to when he just came back from the small lake.

Which sect did Senior Sister Zhao go to? I went to Nanming Kingdom, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see her again in the future, is the fate of this life going to end like this? Chen Linci was a little unwilling, but he couldn't find a reason to be unwilling.

It was he who failed Zhao Yiran, not Zhao Yiran who missed him. once had an innocent and beautiful feeling in front of him, but he didn't cherish it well, who can blame him?

Chen Linci really wanted to see Zhao Yiran again, but he didn't know what he should say after seeing him, and he didn't know the passage of time between his distractions.

Chen Linci cautiously pushed open the door of the inn, but the scene this time was different from the last time he came.

Today, all the beings went to Tianyan Street to find a sect suitable for their own family, so it was inevitable that everyone would gather together to discuss, and when Chen Linci walked in, he happened to see Gu Bai and the others.

Seeing Chen Linci push open the door and walk in, Gu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Senior Brother Chen, why did you come here so late." ”

Chen Linci saw the young man in front of him and knew that his name was Gu Bai, but he was still stunned for a moment before he said slowly: "Senior Brother Gu, I want to ...... I want to come and see Senior Sister Zhao. ”
