Taihua Mountain is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south and Huangwei in the north, and it has been the place of gods worshiped by the people since ancient times. And Rin Yao City is located in the south peak of the five peaks in the Taihua Peaks, at first glance the mountain gate made of cliff stones, there are more than ten zhang high, walk in it and suddenly feel that the sky is close at hand, and the stars can be picked. Raise your eyes and look around to see the mountains are reckless, the Luohe River is like a thin thread, the mountains are full of buildings and palaces, walking in it really makes people appreciate the strange fun of being like the heavens and floating like walking.

The sky was getting dark, there were only two people in the huge Star Picking Pavilion, Ruan Feiyan rubbed her right knee angrily, she had been kneeling here for nearly two hours, and no matter how good her patience was, she had already been exhausted.

Zixi, who was kneeling next to her, patted her on the back and said gently: "Feiyan, it's better for you to get up and stand for a while." ”

It's okay if he didn't say it, but what he said made Ruan Feiyan angry: "Get up, why should I get up, you still think I didn't kneel enough, do you want me to be bumped into by the senior brother and be punished for a few more hours?"

"I'm not ......"

"I said let you leave me alone, don't hesitate, you didn't listen, if it wasn't for you dragging me down, I would have gone down the mountain a long way ago, I wouldn't have been caught by the senior brother, and I wouldn't have been scolded and punished kneeling here, so it's all to blame you, blame you!"

"I ......" Zixi couldn't answer for a while, he originally wanted to accompany Ruan Feiyan down the mountain, but he also had to make some preparations when he went down the mountain, who would have thought that Senior Brother Ning Chen would come back early from Kunlun Mountain? So they had just arrived in the village below the mountain and were caught by Ning Chen.

"Senior Sister ......"

"Shut up!"

Zixi thought for a long time and didn't speak, just silently took off his robe, folded it a few times and put it on Ruan Feiyan's knees, and gently persuaded: "Senior sister, you better put this on the pad, your knees are not so uncomfortable." ”

"Don't want you to be pretending to be kind! You and Ning Chen are in the same group, you just ventilated with him, you just want to drag me and don't let me go down the mountain, right? I don't believe you anymore and I won't ask you for help anymore!"

"Senior sister, listen to me first, I really ......"

Ruan Feiyan pursed her mouth, and raised her voice with a stubborn face: "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen, don't listen if I say don't!"

"Zixi, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Ruan Feiyan immediately shrank his shoulders and didn't dare to raise his head. It was their senior brother Ning Chen who walked up from outside the door, and the person changed into a blue and white robe, and this person showed even more unkindness from birth.

He glanced at the clothes in Zixi's hand, and opened his mouth to ask: "Do you really not understand the door rules, you dare to go down the mountain without permission, and take your young junior sister with you, how do you learn the usual precepts!"

"Senior brother, this is all Zixi's fault alone, I wanted to go down the mountain to have fun and was afraid that I would be bored alone, so I dragged Fei Yan with me. ”

Ning Chen frowned: "Fei Yan, is this really the case?"

Ruan Feiyan bit her lower lip, and just wanted to speak, she was preempted by Zixi: "Senior brother, it's really so." The little junior sister was born good, and Zixi didn't want her to be partial to me for fear of being punished. ”

"Big brother, I'm actually ......"

"Okay," Ning Chen nodded: "Then you can follow me to the cold pool in the back mountain." ”

"Senior brother, don't leave Senior Brother Zixi in the cold pool, it will definitely freeze people when it's so cold there!"

"If he doesn't let him suffer, how can he remember his mistakes?"

"Actually, I ......" Seeing that they were leaving, Ruan Feiyan immediately got up and said, "Then I'll go too, I'll be punished with my senior brother." ”

Ning Chen turned around and said sharply: "Nonsense, you just stay here for me, and come out when you know it's wrong." ”

The little girl was in a hurry, dragged Ning Chen's hand and said, "I forced Senior Brother Zixi to take me down the mountain to play, if you want to punish me, it's none of Senior Brother's business!"

"Zixi, you have been in the business for many years, but because you are playing around, you ignore the door rules, how can he be a brother when you act like this. In this way, it is even more unforgiving!"

"Senior brother, you are unreasonable!" Ruan Feiyan stomped his feet angrily: "You...... You will bully me while Master is away!"

"Zixi, what are you doing in a daze, and you don't want to leave?"

"Big brother—"

With a wave of Ning Chen's sleeves, the door of the pavilion closed, almost colliding with Ruan Feiyan's little face.

She slapped and beat inside for a while, and when she finally lost her strength, she sat down and shouted: "Ning Chen, you wait, I'm not done with you!"

Ning Chen had already walked a long way, and Zixi only now realized that this was not the direction to go to the back mountain, he couldn't help but stop and ask: "Didn't the senior brother take me to the back mountain, how did I get to Songjuniju?"

Ning Chen glanced at him, and his grim expression finally had a crack: "Didn't you hear it? ”

Only then did Zixi understand that Ning Chen wanted to force Ruan Feiyan to admit her mistake, but the little junior sister was born with a stubborn personality, so she just refused to say a 'wrong' word.

"She has been acting arbitrarily since she was a child, if you continue to be so pampered, have you ever imagined what she will become!"

"Yes, Zixi knows that she is wrong. ”

Ning Chen shook his head: "Knowing your mistakes and knowing your mistakes, I haven't seen you change just by saying it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Feeling that he was about to speak at length again, Zixi hurriedly interrupted and said, "That, senior brother, you should go and take the new disciples to practice swords." ”

"Oh?" Ning Chen thought for a while, but the steps he was about to take froze in: "By the way, I said a few years ago that I would give you a sword, and now it is about to take shape." ”

"Oh, Senior Brother's sword-forging method is the best in the world, I don't know what kind of magic weapon will be given to me?"

"You'll find out when the time comes. ”

"Then thank you Senior Brother!" Zixi bowed and said, "Senior Brother Qingque has also been down the mountain for more than two years, and he hasn't brought a letter back, so he won't follow Qi ......."

"Zixi!"

Zixi, who said that he had leaked his mouth, quickly changed his words: "It's nothing, it's nothing, senior brother, I'll go first." ”

"Hmm. ”

In fact, Ning Chen is a very good brother, strict but not powerful, powerful but not angry, although he is a little harsh on his disciples, he is indeed an amiable and respectable person. Zixi has been close to Ning Chen and Fei Yan since he was a child, but Ruan Feiyan can't kiss him, so he loves to come against Ning Chen.

After the fourth watch, the snow outside also stopped, Ning Chen sat alone on the Seven Peerless Platform, and there was a sword with a white jade handle beside him. Fang just tried it in Ning Chen's hands, and the wind and snow returned, and the stacked Zheng Zheng sword made people reluctant to put it down. At this time, Ning Chen also showed a slight smile on his face, got up and put away his sword and walked towards Songjuniju.

"Who is it?"

A sword aura that struck closely, as soon as Ning Chen raised his hand, the long sword condensed his internal force, reflecting a cold light in the night. And the sword qi that swept by just now did not dissipate, but instead melted into the surrounding ice and snow, and the sudden drop in temperature for a while actually caused Ning Chen's sword blade to condense a lot of ice ballast. Seeing this, he hurriedly pointed to his wrist, and his concentration seemed to be silently reciting some spell. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a flash of red light in his eyes, and the ice and snow on the blade of the sword had receded. Ning Chen leaned over with his sword and stretched out his five fingers to press on the ground, and at this time, the fire patterns that spread out from under his palm extended all the way, instantly suppressing the snow curtain that would rise.

"Senior Brother Qingque, since you're back, why don't you show up and see you?"

Laughter sounded not far away, Meng Qingque came out of the shadows, and praised with his palms: "The master of the sect really has a good eye, I can't imagine that the senior brother has practiced the art of controlling the spirit with qi to such a realm at such a young age, and the junior brother admires and admires it." ”

"Senior brother, you never pay attention to these, of course you don't have much attainment. ”

Although he shouted junior brother in his mouth, Ning Chen had always been merciless to this person, but fortunately, Meng Qingque didn't care.

"I heard that Senior Brother has just been promoted to the rank of Senior Sect Leader, so I have come to congratulate him. ”

Hugh snorted. ”

"I don't have a few serious words, but this sentence is true. The senior brother is now not only under the head of the master, but also won the position of coach in one fell swoop, what does it mean that it is only under the head and the master, how can the little brother not celebrate such a big happy event for the senior brother?"

"Are you convinced?"

"How dare I not be convinced? Senior brother, you are born with roots, how dare I disobey one of my defeated generals?"

Ning Chen frowned, knowing that he still hadn't been able to untie the knot, "If you are still haunted by what happened two years ago, then we can compare again tonight." ”

"What is there to compare it to?"

"It's up to you, of course. ”

Meng Qingque finally seized the opportunity and said: "If I win, you will invite yourself to go down the mountain and never come back, Ning Chen, do you dare?"

"If you insist on doing so, I will accompany you. ”

When Ning Chen raised his sword, Meng Qingque pointed five fingers, and the sword that appeared in his palm was like the first moon, and the two of them were on par with more than ten moves. Ning Chen knew that this person had a deep prejudice against himself, and although it was a competition, he was merciful in his moves.

"Ning Chen, what kind of gentleman are you pretending to be? Two years ago, you used all kinds of means, will you be left everywhere two years later? What is your idea? Do you still think that I will be played with by you?"

"Qingque, how many times have I said it, I didn't use any means at the sword trial meeting that year!"

"Do you still want to quibble?" was provoked by Ning Chen, Meng Qingque's internal strength also used a little more, "Now that you have got everything you want, do you still want to give me false mercy?"

"The whole city knows about this, only you are still deceiving yourself. ”

"Self-deception?Ning Chen, you can deceive the world, but you can't deceive me!"

The surrounding area was suddenly full of wind and snow, and even Meng Qingque's body was surrounded by layers of snow and fog that were difficult to get close to, and Ning Chen couldn't stand on the ground with his sword. It seems that this person's wind and snow singing skills have improved a lot.

Ning Chen, who had lost the touch of his hands, got up and came over, gathering the aura of his whole body and turning it into the breath of fire, but he had just practiced this heavy spiritual technique, not to mention that it was late at night, when the yang was defeated and the yin was in full bloom, he really didn't take advantage of the heavenly time. Meng Qingque in front of him was extremely serious, and it seemed that he was going to fight with Ning Chen with all his might.

"Senior brother, I'm offended. As soon as Ning Chen finished speaking, he was struck out several feet away by a sword qi, and he fell to the ground when he landed, and he threw up a mouthful of blood from his chest and neck, which seemed to have hurt his lungs.
