Chapter 58: Despair
The next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the disciples of Chi Yue Peak all got up early in the morning, and after everything was cleaned up, they came to the open space in front of Jingyue Hall together, waiting for Master Xuanye to come out and go to Taiqing Peak together.

Taking advantage of the last little time, everyone gathered together, in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, discussing the upcoming Wufeng Centennial Sword Meeting.
Among Chi Yuefeng's disciples, although only the senior brother Zheng Shouyi, the second senior brother Li Yu, as well as Su Qiyu and Qi Tai are qualified to participate in this sword competition, the rest of Chi Yuefeng's disciples are also sincerely happy that they can represent Chi Yuefeng, and hope that the four of them can pass all the way, defeat other disciples of the same sect, and achieve good results.
Su Qiyu, who was selected to participate in the sword meeting this time, was naturally even more happy, her face had been filled with a cheerful smile, but she was not nervous at all about the big war, chasing the senior brother Zheng Shouyi and the second senior brother Li Yu on Chiyue Peak, asking all kinds of questions about the Wufeng Sword Club, such as how powerful are the disciples who participated in this sword meeting? What are the fun places on Taiqing Peak? And which of the famous families of Middle-earth attended the Wufeng Sword Meeting?
When I heard the senior brother Zheng Shouyi say that some of the famous righteous paths in Middle-earth will be invited to come, among the four famous righteous paths in Middle-earth, in addition to this gate, there are also Tianlong Temple in Longbei, Phoenix Valley in the Western Regions, Yanlan Island on the coast of the East China Sea, these famous pillars of the righteous path in Middle-earth, will send people to watch the sword competition of Wufeng Mountain, in addition, there are also some scattered immortal monks in Middle-earth will also come to see our centennial sword meeting!
Su Qiyu listened to the introduction of the senior brother, blinked her bright eyes, and asked curiously, "Is this true?" Will there really be so many people coming? ”
Li Yu also nodded on the side and said, "Yu'er, our Wufeng Mountain is the leader of the righteous path of Middle Earth, these famous sects will naturally send people to congratulate, and at that time, on Taiqing Peak, there will be masters of all sects in the world who cultivate the truth!" ”
At this time, a young disciple on the side interjected, "There are so many people, it must be very lively!" ”
Zheng Shouyi laughed and said: "It's not just lively, because in recent decades, Wufeng Mountain has vigorously cultivated young disciples, and it is said that the number of people participating in the sword meeting this time is much more than any previous one, it is conceivable that the scene must be unprecedented!"
A young disciple on the side begged the two of them with a smile, and said, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, wait a moment when Master comes out, but you have to say a few more good words for us, so that our disciples can also go with you to see and learn, and it will not be in vain that we have been practicing here for so many years!" ”
"Yes, yes," several disciples next to him said in response: "Don't just take care of yourself to participate in the competition, forget that there are also our fellow disciples!" ”
Li Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother and I will make this request clear to Master, and we will let you go together today to open your eyes!" ”
All the disciples smiled when they heard this, and their faces were full of excitement and expectation!
Li Yu inadvertently looked to the side, only to see Qi Tai also standing not far from him, and there were also a few disciples around him, presumably these disciples were saying some words of compliment and congratulations to him, although Qi Tai's face only showed a faint smile, but between his expressions, the smug look naturally could not be concealed.
Li Yu walked over with a smile and politely arched his hand: "Senior Brother Qi, it's really unexpected that you can be selected for the Sword Club this time!" ”
Qi Tai also replied with a salute and said, "Senior Brother Li is serious, I was just a fluke, and Master gave me this opportunity." ”
Li Yu smiled: "Senior Brother Qi is too modest. ”
After some polite greetings, Li Yu's face became a little solemn, and said: "Senior Brother Qi, I heard that among the disciples who participated in the Wufeng Sword Meeting this time, there are really a few extremely outstanding junior disciples, everyone is privately speculating, I wonder who can have the last laugh in this sword meeting and win the final winner of this sword meeting?" ”
Qi Tai's expression moved, showing great enthusiasm for this topic, and asked, "Senior Brother Li, what have you heard?" ”
Li Yu said with a smile: "The most popular candidate for this sword meeting, the first in the list, naturally belongs to Yang Yue of Ziyun Peak, who has cultivated to the ninth layer of the Hongyuan Realm at the age of eighteen, and Senior Brother Ding Qingyi of the Taiqing Peak of the Changmen has cultivated to the seventh layer of the Hongyuan Realm, in addition, Senior Brother Sun Xu of the Changtian Peak has also cultivated to the seventh layer of the Hongyuan Realm, plus the Nie brothers and sisters of Luoxia Peak, who are called the 'Luoxia Double Swords', have also cultivated to the sixth layer, and most of them are evenly matched, this time the sword meeting may be the most competitive in the history of our Wufeng Mountain!" ”
Qi Tai looked a little hesitant when he heard this, and only said slowly after a while: "Senior Brother Li, in your opinion, who is most likely to win the final crown?"
Li Yu pondered for a while, and then said: "The one with the highest voice is naturally Yang Yue of Ziyun Peak, but after all, he is still young and has no on-the-spot experience at all, when it comes to the critical moment of the competition, everything is difficult to say, and now it seems that it is just a big suspense, Senior Brother Ding Qingyi of Taiqing Peak and Senior Brother Sun Xu of Changtian Peak are both disciples who have practiced for nearly a hundred years, and their Taoism is profound, and they are also among the best among the junior disciples of this sect, in short, the final result of this sword meeting is really unpredictable!" ”
Qi Tai's face gradually became a little ugly, and he estimated in his heart that it would not be easy for him to stand out in this sword meeting!
Li Yu didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, just now he was just standing in the position of Senior Brother Chi Yuefeng to remind him, but now seeing that he was preoccupied, he was a little blamed for his prestige, so he gently patted Qi Tai's shoulder and said, "No matter what, Senior Brother Qi, we all need to be extra careful in this sword meeting!" ”
Qi Tai's face seemed to soften a little at this time, smiled, and said, "Thank you Senior Brother for reminding me, I will pay attention." ”
Li Yu smiled and nodded.
At this time, on the other side of them, Su Qiyu had just left the senior brother she had been pestering and walked among the disciples, and saw at a glance that on the periphery of many disciples, through the laughter and laughter of everyone, there were three somewhat lonely and lonely figures.
Those three people were naturally Da Zhi, Xiao Wu and Lin Xiaoyi, who were in charge of the miscellaneous work on Chi Yue Peak, because there were no other disciples who paid attention to them, and the three of them seemed a little redundant on this occasion.
Su Qiyu walked over, came to Lin Xiaoyi's side, and said with a smile; "Xiao Yi, you wait a while and sit on my immortal rope, let me take you to Taiqing Peak, Dazhi, Xiao Wu, do you say okay?"
Xiao Wu was extremely happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Really? Hehe, then thank you Sister Qiyu! ”
Su Qiyu saw that although a smile appeared on Lin Xiaoyi's face, there was still an indescribable bitterness in his eyes, so he asked him, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?" Aren't you happy? ”
Lin Xiaoyi's mouth opened, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, and in the end, he only shook his head gently, which was regarded as answering Senior Sister Su Qiyu's concern.
Su Qiyu saw that he was in a very low mood, and she didn't know why, so she found a topic to make him happy, and said to him: "Xiao Yi, you have been here for so many years, and I haven't accompanied you to go out for a walk, this time I will go to Taiqing Peak, I will definitely take you to some fun places, let's take a look at the beautiful scenery there, do you say okay?" ”
Lin Xiaoyi raised his gaze and took a deep look at Senior Sister Su Qiyu standing in front of him, only to see her face blooming like a hibiscus, a pair of bright eyes like stars, and a gentle and graceful smile on the corner of her mouth.
Lin Xiaoyi hadn't looked at her so carefully for a long time, and she couldn't imagine that she was so beautiful and moving now, just like the day she first saw her, she had an inexplicable feeling of surprise in her heart!
Somehow, Lin Xiaoyi's eyes looked at the person he loved in his heart, but he felt a pain in his heart that he had never felt before, as if he had been hit hard by something, and his chest ached, and then, this pain spread along the veins of his body to his whole body, and he suddenly felt an involuntary convulsion.
But he finally endured the pain, did not let himself show the slightest abnormality, and muttered, "No...... No need, senior sister, you are going there to participate in the sword competition, I can't delay your business because of me, I don't care if I look at these scenery or not. ”
After Lin Xiaoyi finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.
Su Qiyu didn't expect him to refuse him, and he was stunned for a while.
Dazhi and Xiao Wu, who were standing on the side, also saw it in their eyes, and they both felt that Lin Xiaoyi had gone too far, and the senior sister was kind and kind, but they let you pour a basin of cold water, and they all pulled Lin Xiaoyi's sleeve on the side, signaling him not to know what was wrong.
However, this Su Qiyu is simple and kind by nature, and she doesn't know what Lin Xiaoyi really thinks in her heart at this moment, and she thinks that he has something wrong with her, so she asked loudly: "Xiaoyi, tell me the truth, do you really hate you so much now?" ”
When Lin Xiaoyi heard this, he knew that Senior Sister Su Qiyu must be thinking crookedly, how could he hate her? Even if he hated himself, he would never have the slightest disrespect for her.
Lin Xiaoyi slowly raised her head and glanced at Senior Sister Qiyu, only to see her innocent expression, pouting her mouth, her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were about to shed tears of grievance. As long as you participate in every competition, I will stand in the audience to watch, I will cheer for you, in the process of the competition, you must be careful of yourself! ”
After saying this, Lin Xiaoyi seemed to have a sense of relief, as if he had finally said the words that were pressing on his heart, and he felt that his whole body seemed to be much lighter.
As if the rain had passed and the sky was clear, Su Qiyu's face bloomed with a bright smile, she nodded, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is my good junior brother!" ”
At this time, I don't know who shouted: "Master is here!" ”
All the disciples who were still noisy just now suddenly quieted down, and they all turned around to look at the gate of the Jingyue Hall of the main hall, only to see that Xuanye Daoist was slowly walking out of the hall gate, today he was wearing a brand-new ink-colored Dao robe, and he also had an immortal sword in his hand than usual, which was naturally his famous magic weapon - "Qinglian Immortal Sword"!
Xuanye Dao Chang's whole person looked extraordinary, and there was a kind of majesty in his eyes, and all the disciples in the field were shocked by the master's momentum, and they all looked at it in a daze, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Daoist Xuanye walked to the stone steps in front of the hall, stopped, and looked at the disciples under the steps, especially the four disciples who were selected for this sword meeting, his gaze involuntarily stayed on them for a moment, and then he stroked his long beard under his forehead, and said slowly: "Disciples, now we are going to set off to Taiqing Peak to participate in this once-in-a-century Wufeng Sword Meeting, I hope you will not live up to my expectations and achieve a good ranking in this sword meeting, Let the teacher have a little face in front of the brothers in this sect! ”
Zheng Shouyi, Li Yu, Su Qiyu and Qi Tai and the other four have all walked out of the disciples and stood in the forefront, Zheng Shouyi, as the senior brother of Chi Yuefeng, represented the four of them: "Yes, please rest assured, Master, we will do our best and will not disappoint Master!" ”
Daoist Xuanye nodded, and a smile appeared on his face that he rarely saw.
Seeing that the master was in a good mood today, Li Yu glanced at Zheng Shouyi who was standing beside him, Zheng Shouyi also understood what he meant, and when the Xuanye Daoist walked down the stone steps and came to the disciples, Zheng Shouyi and Li Yu took a step forward together, came to the master's side, and the two bowed together.
Li Yu said: "Master, there is one more thing that you need to agree to?" ”
Daoist Xuanye turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Yu replied: "Master, this sword meeting is a rare opportunity, and the other disciples also want to go to Taiqing Peak to watch the grand occasion of the competition, firstly, it is also an eye-opener, and secondly, it is not without benefit to their respective cultivation, I wonder if Master is willing to agree to them to go with us?" ”
At this time, the disciples in the field all held their breath and stared at Master's statement together.
Daoist Xuanye didn't think too much about it, just a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Okay, let the other disciples go too!" ”
"Oh——!"
The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts, and all the disciples were overjoyed and smiling.
But before everyone could happily congratulate each other, they seemed to hear that Master had something to say.
The noise of the crowd suddenly stopped, and they all looked at the master with blank eyes, wondering what additional instructions he had from the old man?
I saw that Daoist Xuanye's face had returned to the serious appearance of his usual life, he seemed to remember something, glanced at the disciples, and then said slowly: "The three disciples who are responsible for the daily chores on the peak don't have to go, they don't have any cultivation, and it's useless to go, just let them stay here!" ”
Daoist Xuanye's words were nothing to others, but for these three disciples, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and it made Lin Xiaoyi and the three of them stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do?
Could it be that just because they are inferior in cultivation to other disciples, even the opportunity for them to go and see the excitement together will be forcibly deprived?
At this time, many disciples of Chi Yuefeng threw sympathetic glances at the three of them, and it seemed that this time, these three disciples would not be able to go to Taiqing Peak with everyone.
Because everyone knows that Daoist Xuanye has a strict temperament, he always doesn't smile harshly, so the disciples have always been very afraid of him and dare not have any disobedience.
However, just when everyone was silent, a person actually stood up and said to Xuanye, "Master, why don't you let them go together?" Although their cultivation is not good, they have also tried their best, and they have not done anything wrong, so how can Master be so unkind? "It was Su Qiyu who said this!
Among the disciples of Chi Yue Peak, she was the only one who dared to contradict Daoist Xuanye like this!
Xuanye Dao Chang's face turned cold, he snorted, and said in a deep voice: "Bad cultivation is the biggest mistake of disciples, as disciples of the Five Peaks, they have not advanced at all in Dao cultivation, such useless disciples, are they also worthy of going with everyone to participate in the major events of the Sword Society?" ”
Daoist Xuanye didn't speak loudly, but in the ears of everyone, he was full of words, and there was no room for others to argue.
Su Qiyu was really angry when she saw that her master was moving, and she couldn't stand up to him, but she still begged softly: "Master, you can be kind and let them go together!" ”
At this time, Li Yu also stood up and persuaded Su Qiyu together: "Master, if they have worked hard for the affairs of the peak all these years, they will ......."
Without waiting for Li Yu to finish speaking, Daoist Xuanye glanced at Lin Xiaoyi and them, and said coldly: "The teacher has already decided, you don't want to intercede for them anymore, this matter is so decided!" ”
However, Su Qiyu didn't want to give up, and still spoke: "But-"
Daoist Xuanye had already interrupted her without saying anything, and said angrily, "Yu'er, don't you even listen to me?" ”
Su Qiyu was speechless for a while, standing there motionless, she didn't understand why the master, who was usually obedient and pampered to her, was so ruthless to Lin Xiaoyi? Is it just because they practice too poorly?
She was still a little unwilling, frowned, and wanted to hold on to the last bit of hope, and walked forward, to catch up with the Xuanye Daoist who was walking forward, at this time, I don't know who grabbed one of her sleeves, she looked back, it was Lin Xiaoyi, and she saw the sad look on his face, and she must have been extremely painful in her heart.
Lin Xiaoyi shook her head, then slowly let go of the hand that grabbed her sleeve, and choked up: "Senior sister, no...... Don't make Master angry with us anymore, I ...... We just don't go! ”
Su Qiyu heard the stubbornness and helplessness in his tone, and she was also a little sad, for this little junior brother who grew up with her, she had never been able to do anything for him, and even today couldn't help him.
Su Qiyu felt a little sad in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, I'm sorry, I can't take you to Taiqing Peak today." ”
Lin Xiaoyi smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, it's okay, although I can't go to see you compete, you must be extra careful!" Speaking of this, suddenly, a figure passed through his mind, and there was another pain in his heart for no reason, with that person, he seemed to be a little redundant to worry about the safety of Senior Sister Su Qiyu.
Su Qiyu didn't know what Lin Xiaoyi was thinking at the moment, and thought that he just didn't worry about himself, thinking that this little junior brother had always seemed to be tricked by fate, and now he was treated like this by the master, she couldn't stop having tears flowing in her eyes, but she finally endured it, and said astringently: "Xiaoyi, then you should take care of yourself!" ”
At this time, Daoist Xuanye had already walked to the edge of the pool, stopped, and looked at the clear pool in front of him, as if thinking about something, but these disciples behind him didn't know what the master was thinking, and after a while, he turned around, looked at these disciples in the field, and said awe-inspiringly: "Okay, let's go!" ”
After speaking, Daoist Xuanye glanced at Zheng Shouyi and Li Yu, and said, "The rest of the disciples will be brought by you first!" ”
Zheng Shouyi and Li Yu nodded yes.
Xuanye Dao Chang didn't say much more, and at the introduction of the method, he saw a pale cyan light flashing, in fact, he did not sacrifice the "Qinglian Immortal Sword", but used the power of the true yuan to condense into a sword, and when the disciples took a closer look, he had already stepped on the green mang, and went to the north to break through the sky.
Zheng Shouyi and Li Yu saw that the master had flown far away in a moment, so they turned around together and said to everyone, "Let's go too!" ”
After that, I saw that the sword flashed in the field, Zheng Shouyi's brown "Shaoyang" fairy sword, Li Yu's "Cold Star" fairy sword had already been sacrificed, and then, Qi Tai also sacrificed his "red cloud" fairy sword, for a while, these fairy sword magic weapons were sacrificed across the sky above the pool, and the sword flashed, reflecting a large open space in front of Jingyue Hall.
I don't know how Zheng Shouyi and the others behaved, as the light flashed, those immortal swords suddenly became much larger, and the sword body also became several feet wide, which could accommodate more than a dozen disciples standing together.
Zheng Shouyi, Li Yu, and Qi Tai each selected the disciples they wanted to bring with them, and cast their spells on the immortal sword one by one, and after a while, most of the disciples had already taken their positions on the immortal sword, waiting to be ready.
Su Qiyu saw that the senior brothers were already ready to go, she sighed softly, and then sacrificed her magic weapon "Green Silk Immortal Suo", the immortal rope slowly stopped in mid-air, only more than a foot high from the ground, and the remaining few disciples were afraid that there would be no place, so they all rushed to climb the immortal suo.
Su Qiyu was the last to step on the fairy rope, she stood on top of the fairy rope, condescending, but still turned her eyes and glanced at Lin Xiaoyi standing on the ground, as if she had a lot of words to tell, but she finally didn't say it, a thousand words, at this moment, they all turned into the last deep gaze!
Zheng Shouyi saw that everyone was ready to stop, and after greeting, he took the lead in flying with his sword, and the few behind him followed.
A few wind whistles in his ears, the dazzling light flashed in front of him, and in a moment, these fairy sword magic weapons on the field have already disappeared from the sky, and when the dust settles, in the open space in front of Jingyue Hall, there are only Lin Xiaoyi, Dazhi, and Xiaowu alone.
Dazhi and Xiao Wu also looked up at the sky, and at first they could still see the vague shadow of the magic weapon of the Immortal Sword in the air, but in the blink of an eye, they had already dissolved into the endless blue sky.
Lin Xiaoyi said to them listlessly: "Senior Brother Dazhi, Senior Brother Xiaowu, let's go in!" ”
Dazhi and Xiao Wu responded, and then the two of them drooped their heads, sighing and following Lin Xiaoyi into Jingyue Hall.
