Southern Xinjiang, Incense Valley.

This righteous sect that has been changing in recent days has another shocking news today, which instantly spread throughout the valley. From the depths of the Incense Valley, the heavenly drums sounded seven times, resounding far and near, indicating that Yun Yilan, the valley master of the Incense Valley, who had been in retreat for a long time, was about to leave the customs today.

In the main hall of the Incense Valley "Mountain and River Palace", led by Shangguan Ce, Lu Shun and others, Li Xun and other disciples were ranked behind, and they were in front of the hall, waiting patiently.

Among the crowd, what is particularly eye-catching is a woman standing next to Li Xun, who is Yan Hong. Since the night when the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox escaped from the Xuanhuo Altar not long ago, Shangguan Ce still recognized Yan Hong as a fake person in the confusion, and the later results turned out to be the Golden Bottle of the Demon Sect Hehuan Sect, but the real Yan Hong was not found in the cellar of a house in the Incense Valley until three days ago.

Naturally, the golden bottle didn't know how to use a strange spell to cure Yan Hong and hide it in such a place. These days, everyone in the Incense Valley poured out of their nests, looking for all the nearby hills, but they didn't pay attention to the houses in the valley. This was only three days ago when a male disciple went down to the cellar of the Tibetan medicine to look for it because of the lack of medicinal materials in the valley, and only then did he find Yan Hong, otherwise he didn't know how long this poor woman would have to wait in the cellar.

It's just that these days of torture, Yan Hong's expression has obviously become much haggard, but everyone has no intention of paying attention to her at the moment, and all of them are looking at the side door of the main hall.

Shangguan Ce, who was standing at the front of everyone, was still dressed in black, standing there calmly, but in the depths of his eyes that everyone couldn't notice, there was a faint flicker of strange light in his eyes.

For him, every time Yun Yilan, the valley master who has been a senior brother, meets him in the past few years, he is separated by a screen, and he is even weaker when he speaks, and he has become older and older in recent days, he couldn't believe it at first, but until recently, he gradually decided in his heart that this senior brother who had been pressing on his head was really dying.

Unexpectedly, today, Tianxiang was in the middle of the heavenly drum like thunder, and he was shocked to the local area, and Yun Yilan was out of the customs!

Could it be that he was really practicing the magic in retreat and not hiding anything?

Shangguan Ce's heart was troubled and worried.

Behind Shangguan Ce, Li Xun, who was standing at the forefront of the younger generation of disciples, had excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed. He has always been Yun Yilan's most proud disciple, and he is even more proud of the sky in the Incense Valley. It's just that Yun Yilan suddenly retreated a few years ago, and without the slightest warning in advance, she never saw everyone again.

Although Li Xun himself still treats Yun Yilan specially, like his uncle Shangguan Ce, he is the only two people in the Incense Valley who can meet Yun Yilan, but I don't know if it is because Yun Yilan thinks that Li Xun is young after all, and his Taoism is not enough, but he is in charge of the major affairs in the Incense Valley, so invisibly, Li Xun's status has dropped a lot.

But now that Yun Yilan is back out of the customs, the situation has naturally changed greatly, he is the most beloved disciple of the current valley master, and the next valley lord is the best candidate, and the weight of his words is naturally different. And more importantly, just yesterday, the night before Yun Yilan left the customs, he had been secretly received by Yun Yilan, and knew in advance that his mentor was going to leave the customs.

And with the teacher out of the customs, there is a long-awaited wish that he has been looking forward to for a long time, and it is finally possible to achieve it. Thinking of this, Li Xun's handsome face could no longer suppress his excitement.

Shangguan Ce's body moved, and slowly turned back, although the young nephew behind him tried his best to keep calm, but the joy and excitement that emanated from the bottom of his heart were not something that could be covered by his age and experience, and it was impossible to escape Shangguan Ce's eagle-like eyes that saw through the world.

"Hey......" He slowly sneered in his heart, and said to himself: "Young man, I don't know how long the road you have to walk!" ”

Just when everyone was thinking about it, suddenly the drums beat melodiously, like flying out of the sky, circling in the hall. Shangguan Ce and the others were in high spirits, tidied up their grooming clothes, and looked at the side door.

I saw a flash of red shadow, and a figure slowly appeared, wearing a fiery red shirt that was the clothing of the valley lord in the Incense Valley, representing the belief of this still fire sect.

I didn't feel the heat of the flame, let alone the dazzling light, but somehow, everyone's eyes were so red, but they all had a feeling that a red flame, Shi Shiran walked over like this.

And when everyone came back to their senses and saw the characters in the red light clearly, including Shangguan Ce, who had always been calm and calm, they all let out a low cry of surprise in disbelief.

The person who came was just a middle-aged man who looked like he was about forty at most, with bright but smooth red hair untied, floating on his shoulders at will, and there was a hint of elegant and debauched taste.

Everyone looked at each other, when Yun Yilan was in retreat a few years ago, everyone clearly remembered that he was already a drooping old man, and his head was gray and gray, but at this moment, this person was much younger than Yun Yilan at the beginning, and the skin on his face was smooth and smooth, and he couldn't see even a trace of wrinkles.

It's just that this person's face is outlined, but it is clearly Yun Yilan's appearance, especially Shangguan Ce, he has been with Yun Yilan longer than anyone else, and he recognizes this is clearly the appearance of Yun Yilan when he was young, just looking at that face, it is better than his demeanor when he was young, under such shock, everyone can't say a word.

However, that Yun Yilan walked to the main hall with a swagger, in front of everyone, his eyes were bright, he glanced at everyone, suddenly smiled, and his voice was reversed from the old man in the secret room, clear and pleasant, and said: "Why, don't you recognize me as the valley master?" ”

Everyone's bodies were shocked, Li Xun came back to his senses first, bowed down first, and said loudly: "Disciple welcomes the master out of the pass, congratulations to the master on the completion of the retreat and cultivation of the true law!" ”

Everyone suddenly woke up and saluted one after another, and the look of surprise in Shangguan Ce's eyes gradually receded, and he also bowed his head and saluted.

Yun Yilan obviously looked good, and she was in a very good mood, waved her hand, and said, "Okay, okay, everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, just get up and talk." ”

Everyone responded and stood up one after another, Yun Yilan looked at everyone with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Shangguan Ce, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, have you been in charge of the trivial affairs in the valley all these years, are you annoyed?" ”

Shangguan Ce shook his head, and also smiled: "Senior brother is not here, it is my duty to be a junior brother, but there was an accident in the Xuanhuo Altar a few days ago, and I ......."

Yun Yilan suddenly burst out laughing, interrupting Shangguan Ce's words, and said, "What happened in the past, why should the junior brother be obsessed with it, the future will be long, and we will just think about it in the long run." ”

Shangguan Ce's face flashed a hint of surprise, but he didn't say anything more, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Yun Yilan looked at everyone present, only to see that everyone's eyes were full of respect and surprise, obviously her body was like a rejuvenation, which made everyone really stunned.

It's just that he didn't explain much, turned around and asked Li Xun, who had been standing aside for a long time, "Is there anything going on in the valley recently?" ”

Li Xun stepped forward and said respectfully: "Early this morning, Dao Xuan Zhenren, the head of the Qingyun Sect in Middle Earth, brought a letter, saying that it was a reply to the letter sent by the master a few days ago. ”

He said this in his mouth, his face was calm, but Shangguan Ce, who was standing on the side, changed his face, during Yun Yilan's retreat, he was in charge of all the major affairs of the Incense Valley. Correspondence with the head of the Qingyun Sect was also an extremely important matter, but he knew nothing. And this reply letter arrived this morning, and Li Xun somehow intercepted it halfway without letting him know, it was clear that Senior Brother Yun Yilan deliberately did not let him interfere in this matter.

Shangguan Ce's anger grew in his heart, but his face was still the same, and his strange expression flashed.

Yun Yilan nodded, took the letter handed over by Li Xun, and glanced at it, only to see the number written on the top of the envelope: Senior Brother Yun Yilan of Incense Valley saw it in person.

The payment is: Qingyunmen Daoxuan Meeting.

Sure enough, it was the handwriting of Qingyunmen Dao Xuan Zhenren, Yun Yilan smiled slightly, tore open the seal, took out a piece of thin paper, and read it from beginning to end, always with a smile on her face.

At the end, he nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, put the letter into his arms, and said loudly to everyone: "That's all for today, you go back and prepare, and soon after, I should lead the outstanding disciples of the Incense Valley to go to Middle Earth to visit the Taoist friends of the two factions of Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple, and discuss the great plans of the world!" ”

Everyone was shocked, it was a long time ago that the Incense Valley entered Middle-earth in a big way, but as soon as the valley lord came out of the customs today, he gave this great order. It's just that Yun Yilan has always had a deep prestige, and everyone in Incense Valley didn't think much about it, and after seeing the ceremony, everyone retreated one after another, and they went to prepare without mentioning it, but only Li Xun was left by Yun Yilan.

After everyone left, only Yun Yilan and Li Xun were left in the Shanhe Palace. Li Xun was alone with Master, so he was not as restrained as when everyone was present, and said with a smile: "Master, what kind of method are you practicing in retreat, and it has such a miraculous effect?" ”

Yun Yilan smiled and said, "This is a strange technique passed down by my ancestor of the Incense Burning Valley, and when you have done enough in the future, are you still afraid that I won't pass it on to you?" ”

Li Xun was stunned, but when he saw the smile in Yun Yilan's eyes, which seemed to have a deep meaning, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down, and said, "Thank you Master for your kindness, the disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations!" ”

Yun Yilan smiled and picked Li Xun up, looked him up and down, and sighed: "You are a great talent for cultivating the Dao, but I see that you are young and vigorous, and your heart is still a little impetuous. ”

Li Xun nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you for your advice." By the way, Master, if you leave me here, is there anything wrong? ”

Yun Yilan glanced at him and said, "Yes, I want you to go to Middle-earth first." ”

Li Xun was stunned and said, "Middle Earth? Where to go? ”

Yun Yilan said lightly: "Qingyun Mountain." I will write a reply letter later, and you will leave immediately and deliver this letter to the hands of Qingyun Mountain Dao Xuan Zhenren. ”

Li Xun nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yun Yilan walked back and forth a few steps, and said: "After Dao Xuan Zhenren has read this letter, he will most likely leave you to stay in Qingyun Mountain for a few days, and you don't have to postpone it, just stay in Qingyun for a few days, and I will bring others there later." ”

Li Xun nodded, but was slightly confused, and said, "Master, are you in such a hurry to enter Middle-earth, is there anything important?" ”

Yun Yilan smiled slightly and said, "It's not the thing you begged me for a long time!" ”

Li Xun's body was shocked, and then his face showed excitement that he couldn't hide, and he immediately knelt down again, and said loudly: "Thank you, Master, for making it happen." ”

Yun Yilan shook her head and smiled: "Okay, okay, you go back and prepare first, and then come over to pick up my letter, and then leave directly." ”

Li Xun excitedly agreed and strode out.

When the figure of this young disciple disappeared, the smile on Yun Yilan's face gradually faded, he turned to the south, and looked far away in the direction of the 100,000 mountains, and after a while, he suddenly snorted coldly:

"Since you're going to come out, I'm going to let the whole world stop you. If I have to carry this burden alone, hehe, I'm not that stupid! ”
