Lu Yan and the Li family sisters, specifically, after Li Yanning came to the Ming Province Valley, many affairs in the valley were smoothed out all of a sudden, which made Yao Lan and Wen Ning, who had to grit their teeth to help, very relieved.

Lu Yan is a few years younger than Yao Lan, but he is very careful and proper, especially some of the general affairs in the valley, which are well considered, and Yao Lan is happy to lose everything in his hand to Lu Yan, and then turns his head and goes out of the valley to continue looking for cultivation seedlings.

In Yao Lan's words, she wants to go out in person to pick out the children who match her eyes and accept them as her disciples in the future.

Because of Lu Yan's relationship, Shangguan Miao and the Li family sisters quickly became familiar with each other, especially after Lu Yan had to take over Yao Lan's affairs and was not very idle, the Li sisters took over the task of helping Lu Yan take care of Shangguan Miao.

Naturally, it was Li Yanning who wanted to take on this task at first, but Li Yanning agreed, and Li Yanran also ......

At first, the two sisters faced "Lu Yan's old friend's sister", but after the two knew that this "Shangguan" was their "Shangguan", they ...... A little more dedicated.

The matter between Qingyunjue and the Shangguan family, when Li Yanran and Li Yanning were in Lingling City, Cangzhou, had heard Xue Yun get up, and they also learned a little about the role of their own family in it.

No matter what, even if they have the idea of leaving the Li family now, their Li family's background cannot be washed away.

The people of the four major families are not good for the people of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Miao didn't mind, but they couldn't help but take it to heart.

So, after a few contacts with Shangguan Miao, a cute and attractive girl, Li Yanran and Li Yanning unsurprisingly knew Shangguan Miao's biggest distress recently.

Help Wen Ning build a scripture pavilion in the valley and organize books and classics.

After asking a few words, Li Yanning took over the matter intimately.

Li Yanran scratched her head, although she also wanted to help, and she didn't want to bother to support her sister, but ......

First, when she was still in the Li family, her cultivation was not good, and Li Yanning, who had limited cultivation, was good at this kind of copywriting, and she had both endowment and experience, and secondly, she was ...... Li Yanran really didn't want to admit that if she interfered, she would probably only be able to do her sister a disservice.

So Wen Ning, under the face of Shangguan Miao, handed over the task of torturing him for several days to Li Yanning, who had just entered the valley.

Li Yanning had something to do, and Li Yanran was hung out for a while. The only thing that is high is that Lu Yan, who she doesn't like to the eye, received the task earlier than Li Yanning, and is even busier, so she can't appear in front of Li Yanning.

Li Yanran, who was idle, pondered for a long time, grabbed her red practice long whip and pulled Shangguan Miao and Wen Ning, and began to instruct others in cultivation and martial arts.

Although Shangguan Miao uses a flute and Wen Ning uses a stick, no one uses a long whip like her......

In the days that followed, the new children gradually withdrew their apprehensions to adapt to life in the valley and began to look forward to the ritual of entering the valley that Yao Lan had mentioned, because after that they could be regarded as the real people of the valley in Ming Province.

Xue Yun and Xiao Luo, the two valley masters, fully cooperated in the study of the marrow washing formation, and they had already found a little bit of the doorway, and they were expected to succeed.

Lu Yan took over the affairs of the valley, and planned the biggest event in the future, the ceremony for new disciples to enter the valley, and also made some time to care about the construction of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the valley.

Li Yanning took over the preparations for the establishment of the Scripture Pavilion in Wen Ning's hand, quickly sorted out the various books and classics, and specially selected the books about cultivation and spells to discuss with Xue Yuan.

Yao Lan led people to look for seedlings suitable for cultivation in Miaozhou, and if the other party or the other party's family was willing, he would take the people back to the Ming Province Valley, and during the period, he did not forget to inquire about the deeds and family forces that have been passed down for a long time in Miaozhou.

Li Yanran...... Li Yanran, who has built a successful foundation, does not point out Shangguan Miao and Wen Ning every day, but is looking for someone to learn, but wants to find an opportunity to break through Jindan in the battle, and soon ...... Fought all over the Ming Province Valley, except for the two valley masters, Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, and Yao Lan, who ran away and didn't come back much, everyone was caught by Li Yanran at least a few times. I have to, Li Yanran's still makes sense, although Li Yanran has not yet gone to retreat to break through the Jindan after fighting so many people, but her opponents do have some insights from the battle. Previously, Li Yanran was a descendant of the Li family, and she was top-notch in her cultivation and martial arts, and she also gave more guidance to others in the process of learning from others, and she was not stingy. Therefore, although everyone has been beaten a few times, the popularity in the valley of Ming Province is still very good.

Especially the reserve disciples who have not yet held the ceremony, they gradually began to like to hide from the side and watch when Li Yanran was looking for someone to learn, and the bold ones would clap their hands and cheer for the people in the audience, and the scene was always extremely lively.

It also seems that the valley of Ming Province is full of vitality.

......

Somewhere in Cangzhou.

"Your Highness. A man who looked like a guard in the courtyard stood at the stone table, bowed slightly and whispered to the woman who was sitting: "They have begun to spread their hands in Miaozhou, and while collecting children with cultivation endowments, they are secretly exploring the secrets of Miaozhou, and the family that has been inherited for a long time is only accepted by other people to inquire outside. The manpower slowly penetrates deep into Miaozhou, and it won't be long before it will approach 'there'. ”

The woman beside the stone table, who was previously called "Your Highness", had eyes that were different from ordinary people, they were deep purple, and her magnificent appearance was more and more colorful, but there was a faint coercion on her body.

She didn't say anything, raised her hand to take the flask on the table, and refilled her empty glass.

There were three wine glasses on the stone table, one of which was filled and the other was empty, opposite the young woman.

The woman picked up her glass of wine, and did not rush to her mouth to drink it, but pinched it in her fingers and gently turned the cup, watching the waning moon reflected in the cup tremble with the shaking of the wine.

"Your Highness, we have to ...... as planned"

“...... Well. The woman known as "Your Highness" answered, and then sighed: "The time is really unfortunate......

"Your Highness?"

"I was going to take advantage of this opportunity to meet. ”

The man who looked like a guard raised his head, his face peeking out of the shadows under the moon, and the depths of his eyes were dotted with silver light, which was also a little different from ordinary people. At this time, he furrowed his brows slightly, a little puzzled:

"Your Highness...... Not going to Miaozhou anymore?"

The woman took a sip of the wine in the glass: "I will leave in two days, I want to go back, my brother called me." ”

Hearing the woman mention "brother", the man said no more and lowered his head.

"I can't come back for a while, I can't catch up. ”

"Then ......," the man thought for a moment and asked, "In that case, Your Highness, do you want us to postpone the plan a little longer?"

"Nope. The woman shook her head: "It's not good to delay their development." As for the meeting...... There will always be a chance in the future, and there is no rush for this time. ”

In fact, she was a little relieved that she couldn't see it this time.

Even after a long time of preparation, there is still that hurdle in my heart.

The woman glanced at the two empty glasses across from her and let out a long sigh.

"Yes, Chengfeng understands. ”

“...... That's right. The woman remembered something again, turned her head sideways and asked softly, "That matter in Yuanzhou, handled it cleanly enough, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness rest assured, there is no trace, the Feng family is still at a loss at this time, and they only dig three feet into the ground in Yuanzhou to find out what happened. ”

"Those people in Dingyuan City ......"

"Those implicated in that day have been moved elsewhere, but they are just ......"

"Huh?"

"Your Highness, is it really necessary to clear their memories?"

The woman hooked her lips and smiled: "No need, hibernation is only for a while, after this time, it's good to grow a little, you don't have to hide it forever." The events of that day, regardless of whether it is hatred or kindness, must be remembered, and someone will come out in the future. ”

"Yes. After the man who called himself "riding the wind" took a sip, he raised his eyes and looked at the woman who was drinking slowly in front of the stone table: "Your Highness, if you go back in two days, do you want to ride the wind?"

The woman paused for a moment and shook her head: "It's okay to go back, you should stay here and watch for me." ”

The light in the man's eyes dimmed slightly: "Yes." ”

"As before, you don't have to follow too closely, except for life and death, you don't have to worry about anything else, serious injuries and death, as long as you don't die, it doesn't matter. ”

“...... Yes, Chengfeng understands. ”

Hearing the hesitation in the other party's voice, the woman hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, glancing at him: "Don't understand?"

The man glanced at her and lowered his head: "Yes." If Your Highness is so concerned, why don't you take more shelter?"

The woman raised her head slightly, as if she sighed with emotion: "If you are blindly content with the hotbed, how can you grow into a pine with proud frost?"

“...... Be. ”

"Besides......"

"Your Highness?"

At this sentence, the woman did not respond again, but raised her head and drank the wine in the cup, closed her eyes as if she had tasted it for a moment, and then opened her eyes and frowned, with some regrets: "It's still ...... It's a little bit worse than the taste......"

When the man heard this, his eyes fell on the wine jug on the table, and he pursed his lips and did not ask any more questions.

......

After January, the valley of Ming Province.

Xiao Luo and Xue Yun stood side by side on the high platform set up in the open space near the entrance of the Ming Provincial Valley, watching the disciples who had just entered the valley under the high platform were a little nervous and apprehensive, carrying out the ceremony of entering the valley.

This is the first grand ceremony since the establishment of the Ming Province Valley.

Yao Lan, who rushed back a few days ago, had not complained to Xue Yun at all, none of them, the second-generation members of the Ming Province Valley, had not yet had a serious ceremony to enter the valley, and the more Lu Yan made this ceremony more popular, the more she was a little jealous of the children who were about to officially become the third-generation disciples of the Ming Province Valley.

Gao Tai took the stones from the nearby mountain peaks, and built them up little by little, even a little rough in a hurry, and there were still some uncleaned weeds and grass seeds in the remaining soil among the stones.

Lu Yan was about to clear it, but was stopped by Xue Yuan.

So today, among the layers of stairs of the stone platform, which is distinct and imposing, there are emerald green blades of grass one by one.

The number of stone steps is ninety-nine, which is not much, and it is not very high, but in the eyes of these children who have just come to the valley and are still a little cowering, it is already the most imposing and solemn building I have seen in just a few years of life.

On the high platform of stone steps, and behind Xue Yun and Xiao Luo of the valley owner, a stone tablet more than one zhang high was erected. The edge of the stele is engraved with a unique rune spell, nourishing by the aura, turning the stone of the same material as the stone steps into an appearance that will not decay and shatter.

On the stone tablet, engraved is the first content that the children need to recite after being taught to read and write after they enter the valley.

"Seek the justice of the world, and seek all things clearly. Don't judge right and wrong by origin, don't distinguish right from wrong by strength and weakness, work hard when you exist, and don't lose compassion after reaching it. Keep the original intention, always remember the clear will, do not give up, do not retreat. ”

The words on the stele are carved very deeply, one word and one painting, but they are extremely neat. Be cautious and attentive.

Xue Yun looked at the twenty-six children who were holding the jade talisman of the Ming Province Valley in their hands one by one, raised their arms and stood in front of their chests, stepped on the stone steps of the high platform, and slowly walked up step by step. The eldest of these children looked eleven or twelve years old, and the oldest was only four years old, but they all walked in a good way.

In the valley, except for Lu Yan, who presided over the ceremony of entering the valley on the side, everyone else sat on both sides of the high platform to watch the ceremony.

After walking the stone steps, which were not too long, the children who had not really entered the cultivation were a little out of breath, and at this time, they were still a little nervous in the atmosphere of such a special occasion in the face of the two valley masters who had been very gentle even though they had met several times before. The children held jade talismans, and after Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan got out of the way, they knelt on the ground according to Lu Yan's guidance, bowed to the stone tablet where Gu Xun was engraved, raised their heads, and read out the contents of the stone tablet word by word.

After reading the words on the stele, the children stood up, straightened their posture again, and bowed to the two valley lords who slowly walked back to the stele.

Xiao Luo pinched a trick in his hand, and a streamer of light spread out from his fingertips, turning into a dot of broken light, and consciously walked towards the jade talisman held by the children on the high platform.

All the children holding the jade talisman felt the jade talisman in their hands tremble, and in an instant, they took on a new look.

Until this moment, these jade talismans for children to be able to enter and exit the Ming Province Valley to symbolize their status were really completed. But even so, it is different from the jade talisman of Lu Yan Yao Lan in the valley of Ming Province, after all, he is a disciple who has just entered the valley, and there must always be some restrictions.

After this moment, Xiao Luo took a step back slightly and turned his head to look at Xue Yuan.

Xue Yun turned his back to the stone tablet carved by her own hand, and faced the disciple who Gu Zhen was really about to cultivate from scratch in Ming Province, and he was also quite emotional in his heart.

From just faking his death and leaving Mianzhou, there was only Xiao Luo by his side, to now he has built the Ming Province Valley to gather people to cultivate disciples, and even has the idea of fighting with many forces in the Kyushu continent in the future......

At this moment, even though there are thousands of pride rising in my heart, it is also weighing on a heavy burden at the same time.

From now on, everything is no longer her business alone, and she can no longer act recklessly, trembling, and walking on thin ice.

Xue Yun silently took a deep breath and raised his voice: "From today on, you are the third generation of disciples of Ming Province Valley, you should remember the precept of seal carving in the valley, do not forget the original intention, do not forget the old time, determined to be hearty, act with tenacity, the way of my generation...... Despite hardships and dangers, we will not retreat or give up, nor will we be alone. ”
