The night is clear and the moon is in the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under this beautiful moonlight, the empty golden summit of Taiqing Peak is even more silent, at this time, the clouds and mist have dispersed, the moon quietly shines on the entire mountaintop, all places are silvery white, as if everything is covered with a layer of snowflakes, become crystal clear, there are mountain winds blowing on the peak from time to time, making the thousand-year-old pines and cypresses make a rustling sound.

On the edge of the mountain peak, there are two figures standing there, and there is a long oblique shadow behind the two of them, from the back, one is slender and graceful, and the other figure is tall and handsome, delicate and straight, these two people are none other than Yang Yue and Su Qiyu!

They stood side by side on the raised cliff on the edge of the golden roof, looking at the mountains in the vast night in the distance, because Taiqing Peak is the highest place in Wufeng Mountain, so standing here can see the rolling mountains in a radius of hundreds of miles, although it is under the moonlight, but it is also unobstructed, and there is a kind of quiet and distant beauty!

I only heard Yang Yue smile and say to her, "How is it?" I don't lie to you, you see the scenery here, it's not inferior to daytime! ”

Su Qiyu, who was standing next to him, nodded, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said, "Well, what a beautiful night!" ”

The two of them enjoy this fairyland-like scenery together, the mountains reflected by the moonlight are light and dark, and the large and small peaks in the distance are all in the eyes, which makes people's hearts swing.

After a while, Su Qiyu looked up at the stars in the sky, and suddenly asked, "Do you say that there is really a building hall in the sky?" Are there really immortals living in it? ”

Yang Yue also raised his head and looked at Su Qiyu's gaze, only to see the stars in the sky dazzling and shining, but he just smiled faintly and said: "The words of the gods seem to be too far away, maybe all this is just a good wish of the world." ”

Su Qiyu turned her head, glanced at him, and asked curiously, "But in the eyes of the world, aren't we also the kind of people who are often regarded as immortals?" ”

When Yang Yue heard this, he didn't answer her immediately, he still stood there motionless, his eyes seemed to be looking at a more distant place, and then said thoughtfully: "We just increase some mana and illusions that ordinary people don't have through our own practice, but we are also subject to all kinds of restrictions, we can travel thousands of miles, but we can't change ourselves after all, we can drive the magic weapon, but the magic weapon still has its own spirituality and consciousness, although we can also prolong our lives, but after all, there is still a death, Yu'er, you say, are we 'immortals'?" ”

Su Qiyu was momentarily speechless by his question, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "According to what you say, aren't we no different from people in the world?" ”

Yang Yue showed a smile on her face, turned her head to look at her cordially, and said softly: "We are just a special type of people in the world, although we also experience birth, old age, sickness and death like the world, but unlike the world, we have greater cultivation and mana, but we also carry greater responsibilities and burdens than the world, that is, for the well-being of all people, for the peace and contentment of many people in the world!" ”

Su Qiyu looked at the person in front of her who was about the same age as herself, and for a moment, she felt relieved to be with such a person, not that he had solved the mystery that had been entangled in her mind for a long time, but that he still had the people of Middle-earth in her heart, and she knew that she would not be wrong!

A smile appeared at the corner of Su Qiyu's mouth, and then she pretended to be serious: "What a grand ambition, then you don't have anything else you want except for having such cultivation and mana?" ”

Yang Yue suddenly stretched out her left hand, held Su Qiyu's right hand, looked at her beside her affectionately, and said in a firm tone: "Actually, as long as I have you, I don't want anything else." ”

Su Qiyu's face flashed crimson, and the girl's shyness made her a little embarrassed, but she still concealed this inner throbbing, and pretended to be casual: "Don't you want to dominate in this sword meeting and be favored by the real person in charge, and maybe you will be entrusted with the important task of this sect in the future?" ”

Yang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I didn't want to participate in this sword meeting, but my parents' orders cannot be violated, and now, I am a little grateful for this sword meeting, because I can have the opportunity to accompany you by my side, just like at this moment, everything is silent, and this world only belongs to the two of us." ”

Su Qiyu's heart swelled with sweetness, he was really a loving and righteous person, raised his head and looked at him affectionately, his handsome face looked deeper in the moonlight, her tone became softer, and said: "Yue, promise me, no matter what, you have to do your best in this sword competition, don't be distracted by me." ”

Yang Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" ”

"That's right," Su Qiyu smiled and gently snuggled up to his shoulder.

Yang Yue also held her with one hand and leaned her against his side, and the figures of the two people were quietly reflected on the ground that was illuminated by the moonlight like frost and snow.

The bright moon in the sky is still hanging high, shining brightly on everything in the world, on this pair of warm lovers, and on a lonely and lonely figure in a place where I don't know how far away!

※※※

In the early morning of the next day, the Taiqing Hall was up.

The one hundred and six disciples who were shortlisted for this year's Five Peaks Sword Meeting all stood in the center of the main hall, all of them with solemn faces, silent, and their eyes looking ahead.

Sitting at the top is the head of Wufeng Mountain, Taiyi Zhenren, at this moment, he is sitting in the Taishi chair, looking at the disciples in the hall with a smile, and the rest of the peak masters are sitting on the four Taishi chairs at the bottom, and behind the peak masters, there are people from all sects of the world's righteous path, such as the Hongru Monk of Tianlong Temple, the Gongsun Qian Elder of the Phoenix Altar, the Mu Peiyu Hall Master of Yanlan Island and others......

In addition, sitting on both sides of the main hall are some of the respected elders of the Wufeng Mountain Gate, most of them are gray-haired, but if you look closely, they are all red and bright, and they are in good spirits, most of them have stopped asking about the trivial matters of the sect, and they are only cultivating in their respective residences on weekdays, but today is a special day for Wufeng Mountain, and they have also been invited to watch together.

After the head Taiyi Zhenren nodded with the guests and elders present, he glanced at the Xuanyan Daoist standing beside him with a blazing gaze, and Xuanyan Daoist immediately understood, so he walked to the front of the hall, glanced at the disciples who participated in the sword meeting, and only heard him say slowly: "Disciples, today is the first day of our Wufeng Mountain Centennial Sword Meeting, and it is also the day of the first round of the Sword Meeting......

The disciples in the hall all held their breath and listened attentively to what Daoist Xuan Yan said.

Daoist Xuan Yan cleared his throat again, and continued: "Due to the increase in the number of disciples of Wufeng Mountain in the past hundred years, the number of disciples shortlisted for the Sword Club has increased accordingly, just a few days ago, the head of the sect and the peak masters of each peak have reached a consensus on the matters of this Sword Meeting, in order to avoid delaying the date of the Sword Meeting due to too many disciples, so, before the official competition of this Sword Club, a preliminary examination link has been added, and all the disciples who are shortlisted for the Sword Club list need to go through the test of a special formation of the sect, Only those disciples who can walk out of this immortal array unharmed within the prescribed hour will be eligible to enter the next round of competition......"

Before Xuan Yandao finished speaking, the disciples in the hall were already in an uproar, and everyone kept whispering underneath, this sudden change caught everyone off guard, and they didn't know how to deal with this unexpected formation?

After a while, when everyone's voice was a little quieter, Daoist Xuan Yan said again: "So, today's first day of your sword meeting is to pass the Tianmen Immortal Array at the foot of Taiqing Peak Mountain of Wufeng Mountain!" ”

When Daoist Xuanyan said the name of this immortal array, most of the disciples in the hall were at a loss, everyone, look at me, let me look at you, why have you never heard of a place called "Tianmen Immortal Array" in this sect?

Among them, there are only a few disciples, such as Ding Qingyi, the eldest disciple of Changmen Taiqing Peak, and Sun Xu Daochang of Changtian Peak, etc., seem to have some impressions, they have heard the name of this formation from the mouths of the elders of the previous generation, it seems that hundreds of years ago in a great war between the demons and demons, in order to resist the invasion of the demon sect demons, the head of the Wufeng Mountain back then combined the power of the peak masters of each peak to set up a ban in a valley at the foot of the Taiqing Peak Mountain, and its array was varied and powerful, so that the demon sect demons did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pond for a while, After the defeat of the Demon Sect, Wufeng Mountain named this place "Tianmen Immortal Array", and then it has been abandoned, but now it has become the first test place for the disciples of this sect for the Centennial Sword Society.

Although the disciples in the hall had some doubts in their hearts, they saw that the real person in charge and the peak masters of each peak were in the hall at the moment, and watched them sit on it, silently, thinking that this matter must be true, and for a while, the mood of the disciples slowly calmed down.

After everyone's emotions calmed down, the head Taiyi Zhenren stood up from his seat, smiled slightly, and said: "Since everyone has no opinions, this matter is so decided, after an hour, I and the peak masters of each peak are waiting for you at the back door of the immortal array, Senior Brother Xuanyan, then you can take them to the entrance of the 'Tianmen Immortal Array'!" ”

Xuanyan Dao Chief bowed his head and agreed, and walked to the side of the disciples, and the disciples in the hall who were shortlisted for the Sword Club bowed to the real person in charge and the peak masters of each peak, and then withdrew from the Taiqing Hall one by one.

Outside the main hall, all the disciples followed behind Daoist Xuanyan, walked through the white jade square outside the hall, bypassed the bluestone corridor, walked in the direction of the back of the hall, passed through a building, and after a while, they came to the outside of the wall of the Taiqing Palace.

I saw a vast sea of clouds in front of me, the sky was like washing, the blue and clear appearance, it turned out that the whole Taiqing Palace was built on the top of the peak, surrounded by clouds and mist, looking down, the fog was heavy, and I could vaguely see the small peaks under my feet like a small mound like ups and downs.

Daoist Xuanyan had already sacrificed the fairy sword, the light flashed, and he had already risen into the air, and in mid-air, he stood on top of the fairy sword and said to the disciples: "Everyone, please drive the magic weapon to go with me!" With that, he turned his sword and flew down the mountain.

All the disciples showed their fairy swords and magic weapons, Taiqing Peak Ding Qingyi's "Chunyang" fairy sword, Changtian Peak Sun Xu Daochang's "Bixiao" fairy sword, Luoxia Peak Nie's brothers and sisters used magic weapons are Yu Xiao and Guqin, Ziyun Peak Mojing's "Yingxue" fairy sword, Yang Yue's "Zining" fairy sword, among the four of Chi Yuefeng, except for Su Qiyu is "Green Silk Immortal Suo", the other three also use magic weapons such as fairy swords.

In the blink of an eye, this colorful light was dazzling in mid-air, looking colorful and beautiful, and then they all went to the sky with the direction of Xuanyan Dao Chang's flight, and suddenly, one after another colorful light fell straight down the mountain, like a rainbow across the air after the rain, and like a colorful stone falling rain, presented in this vast sky.

All the disciples drove their own magic weapons to resist the wind, next to the cliff, in the ears is the sound of the whirring wind, from time to time there are thick branches growing in the cracks of the cliffs to block the way, everyone bypassed one by one, there are also prominent rocky peaks in front of them, everyone also gently rubbed shoulders with it, for these disciples who have achieved cultivation, such a danger is nothing.

It didn't take long for everyone to slow down the speed of their descent as they saw that a valley from the ground was getting closer and closer, and some of the disciples in front had already fallen to the ground, so the disciples behind them all put away their magic weapons one after another, and each of them took advantage of the inertia of falling and landed steadily on the land.

At this time, everyone raised their heads and couldn't help but be taken aback, it turned out that the valley was surrounded by a place full of greenery, surrounded by faint green mountains in the distance, a gurgling stream nearby, and a large dense bamboo forest by the stream.

Everyone was a little puzzled in their hearts, could this "Tianmen Immortal Array" be located in such a fairyland on earth?

Daoist Xuanyan didn't say much, and led the disciples to walk towards the bamboo forest on a path paved with blue bricks, walking in this secluded valley, everyone's mood was also much more relaxed, looking around, both sides of the path were lush bamboo forests, the breeze came slowly, and there was a burst of bamboo leaves staggered sound.

It was early in the morning, and the warm sunlight shone through the gaps in the bamboo forest, casting dappled lights and shadows on the ground.

Everyone was careful all the way, and no one broke the silence around them.

There are a few thin bamboos sticking out on the side of the path, and on the bamboo leaves, there are still crystal dew drops, and from time to time they are splashed on the disciples' bodies.

I don't know how long, but I heard someone in front of me say, "It's here!" ”

Everyone looked forward, only to see that at the end of the bamboo forest was an open space between the two peaks, in front of the valley were standing eight disciples of Nagato Taiqing Peak guarding, at the mouth of the valley was a huge and transparent wall curtain, as if condensed with spiritual power, the breeze blew, and there was a slight ripple on this wall.

The disciples suddenly felt a strange feeling on their bodies, as if an invisible force had just been transmitted through the air, which made people a little dizzy, presumably there must be some mysterious power in it.

The head of the Xuanyan Daoist was already standing facing the disciples with his back to the valley, and he said loudly: "This is the place where the 'Heavenly Gate Immortal Array' of this sect is located," and then he pointed to an incense burner on the table in front of the wall curtain, and a pillar of incense was inserted in the furnace, and continued: "All the disciples must pass through this valley to the foot of the opposite mountain within an hour of this pillar of incense burning out, the head of the sect and the peak masters of each peak are waiting for you there, and the thirty-two disciples who leave the valley first can be qualified to enter the next round of the competition!" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, thinking in their hearts, according to this, this Tianmen Immortal Array will first eliminate nearly two-thirds of the disciples who participated in the sword meeting, and everyone is a little worried for a while.

At this time, one of the young disciples of Nagato Taiqing Peak interjected with a bitter face and asked, "Senior Uncle Xuanyan, what should you do if you can't pass this valley within an hour?" ”

When Daoist Xuan Yan heard this, his face changed, he was really a little angry, this disciple was really a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but say angrily: "This hasn't started yet, you have already thought about the ending of failure, as a disciple of the Five Peaks Centennial Sword Meeting, where will your face go?" ”

The disciple just now knew that he had lost his words, and lowered his head in some shame.

However, Daoist Xuan Yan still continued: "If there is a disciple who fails to leave the valley within the specified hour, or voluntarily gives up on the way, you only need to shout to the top: 'I abstain', and someone will take you out of the valley soon, disciples, is there anything else you don't understand?" ”

Daoist Xuan Yan looked at the disciples once, and seeing that no one spoke again, he waved his hand to the valley and said, "Okay, if there is no doubt, then please enter the valley in order!" After speaking, he signaled to the eight Nagato disciples standing beside him, and one of the eight disciples immediately lit the incense in the incense burner, and then turned around and led the one hundred and six disciples one by one to the front of the wall curtain at the mouth of the valley, and separated each of them a few zhang away according to different directions, and then faced this huge wall curtain, only to hear one of the Nagato disciples say loudly: "It's okay, everyone, please come forward and enter the valley!" ”

When the disciples first touched the curtain, they felt as if they had entered water, and their skin suddenly felt a chill, but there was no sign of wetness in the clothes around them.

The disciples haven't reacted yet, they only feel that there is a sudden darkness in front of them, just now they were still in the environment of bright mountains and rivers, and suddenly the surrounding wind and clouds suddenly changed, the blue sky suddenly darkened, and the originally gentle and calm mountain wind suddenly turned into a sharp and whistling wind, everyone panicked all of a sudden, and some people were even so frightened that they began to tremble!

The disciples who entered the immortal array seemed to be on the cusp of the storm, the dark waves were surging under their feet, as if they were on the edge of a bottomless lake, and the dark clouds above their heads were densely covered, completely obscuring the sun's rays, and the layers of black clouds in the sky were constantly rotating rapidly, and there was a tendency to press straight down.

Between these ever-changing black clouds, a deep gray vortex faintly appeared in the center of the sky, and in the depths of the vortex flashed silver-white lightning that tore through the black clouds, and there was a rumbling sound of thunder and lightning in my ears.

All the disciples were shocked, and subconsciously asked the disciples around them for help, but when they turned their heads, they were empty, where were their fellow disciples?

The disciples who entered the immortal array together just now have long since disappeared, and between this empty heaven and earth, there is only one person alone, standing there, facing everything suddenly in front of him!
