Chapter 14: The Return

Central Boundary, Ziyun Mountain.

Hong Bin had never seen such a magnificent scene, not so much a mountain, but a huge, towering white palace, the palace and the mountain are integrated, the outer wall looks as crystal clear from afar, the towering ancient trees are like jade beads inlaid around it, and the highest hall seems to float above the clouds, proudly looking at the whole city.

"This is also so beautiful!" Hong Bin couldn't help but sigh.

He had heard people talk about Ziyun Mountain in the past, and he had imagined it in his mind countless times, but when he actually came here to see it with his own eyes, he found that its majestic magnificence and majesty might not be beyond his ability in his entire life.

He peeked at Mu Zixin, but the latter didn't react, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. Although her father had been settled last night, she still frowned slightly, and her face was solemn. Hong Bin didn't dare to say more, and only silently followed behind her and Ling Mu.

The central boundary is composed of Ziyun Mountain and Tianhuang City, Tianhuang City is located at the foot of Ziyun Mountain, which is the largest city in the entire Xuan Realm and the only city in the central border. Early in the morning, the city is a bustling scene, with businessmen displaying a dazzling array of goods, crowds rushing to the market on the streets, and a few newly opened shops busy beating gongs and drums to solicit business.

Seeing this lively scene again also soothed the sorrow in Mu Zixin's heart.

"Soldiers, come and take a look at these newly arrived goods!" a vendor selling silver weapons next to him beckoned to Mu Zixin, who had been paying attention to them since he had just begun. Mu Zixin was still wearing a military uniform, carrying her spear with a rusty handle, although Ling Mu had changed into civilian clothes, his powerful aura was still eye-catching even if he was mixed in the crowd, and although Hong Bin was young, he looked very strong from a distance, so he was naturally used as a personal guard.

"It's not easy to be a soldier these days, isn't it? Not to mention that there has just been chaos in the western Xinjiang, even in the territory of the Seven Kingdoms, there are constant disputes, I see that your lord is extraordinary, why don't you have to be an officer?

Mu Zixin walked up to his row of bright dazzling weapons, reached out and picked up a short-handled iron axe that shone with a cold light, and handed it to Hong Bin.

"You try!"

Hong Bin nodded stunnedly and took the axe, he stumbled and almost didn't stand firm, he didn't expect such an inconspicuous little short axe to have such a weight!

"How much does this cost?"

"Seven thousand silver coins. ”

Mu Zixin took off the backpack on her shoulder, seven thousand silver coins is a lot of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but she has had money in the frontier and nowhere to spend it over the years, so she has saved a lot of savings over time.

"Take this to practice your hands first, and when the internal force catches up, I'll pick a good weapon for you." ”

"Soldiers, you can rest assured that the weapons in the armory workshop can be used!"

"Armory?" Mu Zixin raised his head, and sure enough, he saw the archway with the three golden characters of "Wancaimen".

Walking through this door is the place where the largest chaebols in the Xuan Realm gather, and there are thousands of workshops and smelters inside the Wancai Gate, and there is a hidden force behind each workshop, they conduct all kinds of transactions here, and tens of thousands of funds will flow in it every day, and this place has naturally become an important source of wealth for all parties. The Hongfeng Meeting, which is held every four years, was also held here, and it was at the Hongfeng Meeting that she met her master, and it was here that her fate was completely rewritten......

Finally came to the entrance of Ziyun Mountain, Ling Mu didn't know when he had changed back into the majestic and formal white elder clothes, Mu Zixin glanced up at the white jade plaque engraved with the three big characters "Ziyun Mountain", and then saw that on the mountain square, the disciples of Ziyun Mountain wearing frost, moon, blue, and white robes had already lined up in an orderly formation according to their high and low ranks, and standing in the front row were the most prestigious elders in the Elder Pavilion, and it seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.

Hong Bin was stunned by this battle, even Mu Zixin was a little surprised, she never dreamed that Ziyun Mountain, who had abandoned her, would one day welcome her back so ceremoniously!

"Your Excellency, you've had a hard time. Standing in the center, the great elder with a high bun, wearing a jade step, and wearing a white feather shirt stepped forward and respectfully saluted Mu Zixin. Although she had silver hair, she looked quite noble, and her skin was still as smooth and delicate as that of a young woman, and it was difficult to find wrinkles.

After all, Mu Zixin has also been in Ziyun Mountain for nearly ten years, so she also knows most of the elders of Ziyun Mountain, and vaguely remembers that the middle-aged woman in front of her is named Yan Qing, ten years ago, it seemed to be like this, but I didn't expect that ten years later, I was already in the vicissitudes of life and people were still red-faced, and I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart: It is said that some famous families in the Xuan Realm have secret methods, which can make people with deep internal strength stay young forever, and it seems that it is not a home remedy.

Ziyun Mountain is a place with clear hierarchies, even the elders are divided into three, six, nine and so on, the Great Elder has the highest reputation in Ziyun Mountain except for the sect master, and his prestige is no less than that of the Young Master, but among the four hundred elders in Ziyun Mountain, there are only three Great Elders, except for Ling Mu, the woman in front of him is also one of them.

"Thank you Great Elder Yan Qing for your concern, but I'm in good health now, and this little road is nothing!"

"I haven't seen you for many years, but the adult's frank personality hasn't changed at all. ”

"To tell you the truth, with the escort of Great Elder Ling Mu, I think it's hard to work hard. ”

Yan Qing saw that she was still speaking so bluntly, but at the same time she was a little relieved, it seemed that the dark life of ten years of exile in the frontier did not completely crush her, but tempered her more tenacity.

"I have asked someone to prepare a banquet for the adults to receive the wind and wash the dust, and the room has been set up. ”

She said and retreated sideways, and all the elders and disciples behind her also retreated to the sides, Mu Zixin saw the jade seal golden car pulled by the huge silver turtle beast behind them, Ziyun Mountain has a total of tens of thousands of steps from the bottom of the mountain to the Xuankun Hall at the top of the mountain, if there is no vehicle to ride, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to reach it until dark.

Mu Zixin was just about to get into the car, but when he turned around, he found Hong Bin still standing in place at a loss.

"Why are you stunned, get in the car!" she waved to Hong Bin as if no one was around.

The group of elders and disciples beside her looked in the direction she greeted, only to find that a tall young man with a silver short axe on his back, and a somewhat funny and shabby dress was awkwardly clubbing behind Ling Mu.
