Qingyun Mountain leads to the heavenly peak, Yuqing Palace.

"What?" With unbelievable consternation, Dao Xuan Zhenren blurted out: "The two major factions of the Demon Sect have already been wiped out after the decisive battle with the beast demon? ”

Standing at the head of the three current righteous path leaders, as well as many seniors who were sitting or standing next to them, Xiao Yicai, Fa Xiang, Lu Xueqi and other righteous path disciples who returned to Qingyun Mountain, did not speak, only the leader Xiao Yicai nodded affirmatively, and said: "Yes, Master, the seven of us have seen it with our own eyes, the corpses in the Southwest Viper Valley are all over the field, and it is unbearable to see, the Demon Sect has indeed been hit hard, including Mrs. Sanmiao and many other figures of the Demon Sect Hehuan Sect and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, we have already found their corpses, Only the people from the Ghost King Sect didn't see any of them, but maybe it was because the beast demon devoured people, so they ......"

Lu Xueqi, who was standing behind, turned pale again, as if this incident and the tragic situation at that time were always in her heart, making her linger, but no matter what, she was able to control her emotions at this time.

At this moment, the crowd in the Yuqing Hall was sensational, and the voices of discussion were getting louder and louder, looking at the faces of these righteous path elites, some were surprised, some were afraid, and more of them had complex expressions, and they were surprised. It's just that since the Demon Sect can hold on to the righteous path, its strength naturally cannot be underestimated, but in the face of the attack of the beast demon, it failed miserably, there are not a few fools here, anyone can imagine it, the next target of the beast demon must be Qingyun Mountain, where the righteous path of the world gathers.

And now it is the right path that is the last hope of the people in the world, can it stop this unprecedented shocking catastrophe?

No one has a bottom in their hearts!

Sitting at the front, the three great giants of the righteous path, Dao Xuan Zhenren, Master Pu Hong, and Yun Yilan, after discussing in a low voice for a while, all frowned, and at this time, Dao Xuan Zhenren said a few words, and Master Pu Hong and Yun Yilan both nodded and agreed. Immediately, Dao Xuan Zhenren stood up and coughed.

The whispering of the discussion in the Yuqing Hall suddenly became quieter, and everyone's eyes looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren, who had a solemn face, and after everyone was completely quiet, he said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoists, everyone heard what happened just now, everyone heard it very clearly. The unexpected fall of the Demon Cult was completely unexpected to us, but what the details are, and whether there are any remnants of the Demon Cult that escaped in that war, we still have to find out, but this matter is not important at the moment. ”

His face was grim, his eyes flashed, he was not angry but mighty, and said solemnly: "Fellow Daoists, now that the catastrophe is in front of you, the world is devastated, and the strength of beasts and demons is really amazing. But since we are in the right path, there is no reason for us to retreat from the battle. This matter is complicated, and I have to discuss it with Master Puhong and Lord Yungu before making a decision. Please also go back first, good life and cultivation, the period of the war is probably not far away, and then for the sake of the people of the world, I hope you will contribute more! ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, a smile appeared on Dao Xuan Zhenren's face, Master Pu Hong and Yun Yilan also stood up and walked to the back hall, when Dao Xuan Zhenren was about to follow, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiao Yicai: "Yicai, you can come too, you can tell us the situation in detail at that time." ”

Xiao Yicai answered, strode up, and walked into the back hall behind Dao Xuan Zhenren.

Except for Xiao Yicai who followed Dao Xuan Zhenren and others to the back hall, the other six righteous disciples who went to the southwest to inquire about the news were all surrounded by many people, and everyone inquired about the situation at that time, and from time to time made various expressions such as surprise, shaking their heads, sighing, and so on.

In the crowd, Lu Xueqi remained silent all the time, her eyes were faint, but she didn't seem to see the faces of the crowd in front of her at all, but stared at an unknown place in the distance.

There was a sudden low commotion in the crowd, and then a path came out, and the first Water Moon Master of Xiaozhu Peak of Qingyun Gate walked in, followed by Wen Min and several other beautiful female disciples of Xiaozhu Peak. Lu Xueqi came back to her senses and saw that Master walked up to her, and her eyes were looking at her, her lips moved, and she whispered, "Master." Then he bowed his head.

Master Shuiyue was expressionless, and said, "The real person in charge of the sect wants to discuss this matter with other seniors, and there will be nothing else here for the time being, so you can go back to Xiaozhufeng with me first." ”

Lu Xueqi nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Master Shuiyue didn't care about the others, and walked in the direction of the outside of the Yuqing Hall first, and Lu Xueqi immediately followed. The name of the first seat of Qingyun Gate was not trivial, and most of the other righteous path people present respected her very much, and they all made way for her. At this time, seeing that Lu Xueqi was about to walk out of the Yuqing Hall with Master Shuiyue, a trace of anxiety flashed across Li Xun's face who was standing on the side, and he took a step, just about to say something, when suddenly a figure blocked in front of him, Li Xun was taken aback, and looked at it, but it was Wen Min, the eldest disciple under Master Shuiyue.

Wen Min smiled at Li Xun and said, "Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Xueqi is very tired all the way, and Senior Brother Jiang is in retreat again, I hope you don't come over to disturb again." ”

Li Xun glanced at Wen Min a few times, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face, but after all, he retracted the steps he was about to take and said, "Okay." ”

Before Li Xun finished speaking, Wen Min had already smiled and said: "Senior Brother Li, rest assured, Senior Sister Xueqi and I are the same sisters, our relationship is better than that of sisters, and I will naturally say and do what I should do." ”

Li Xun nodded and stopped talking, and stepped aside, Wen Min and a few other female disciples of Xiaozhufeng behind him also walked out of the Yuqing Palace, and soon, everyone in the Xiaozhufeng line of Qingyun Mountain had disappeared from everyone's sight.

Along the way, the clouds and fog were soared, and he returned to Xiaozhu Peak from Tongtian Peak. After Master Shuiyue landed, his face was indifferent, he didn't say anything to anyone, and walked directly into the hall of Xiaozhufeng, and everyone stood respectfully in place, looking at Master Shuiyue.

After Master Shuiyue's figure disappeared into the building, Lu Xueqi's gaze was lost, and she stood motionless until Wen Min patted her on the shoulder, and then woke up.

Wen Min had a hint of worry in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you, seeing that you are lost in your soul, you have not responded a few times?" ”

Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, barely showed a smile on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, senior sister." ”

Wen Min shook his head and said, "What are you talking to me about?" We're all sisters, don't see each other like that. By the way, I see that the master's expression is a little wrong, I'll go in and see her old man, you have worked hard along the way, let's go back and have a good rest first. ”

Wen Min looked at the most beautiful and outstanding junior sister in her classmates, and suddenly felt that on her pale face, although she was still so beautiful, she was a little more haggard than before. Wen Min sighed in his heart, hugged Lu Xueqi's shoulder, and said softly: "Silly girl, don't think nonsense, the master has always treated you, we and you know it in our hearts." It's okay, I'll take a look. ”

Lu Xueqi nodded silently, Wen Min smiled, and told a few other junior sisters, just about to walk away, suddenly saw a girl walking out of the door in front of him.

I saw that the girl looked here, and walked quickly towards Wen Min and Lu Xueqi. Wen Min let out a "huh", waited for the girl to walk in front of him, and said, "Xiaoshi, why did you come out, didn't the master just come back?" You should go to the waiter. ”

Xiao Shi nodded, glanced at Lu Xueqi, and said, "Senior sister, senior sisters, Master said that he wanted me to come over and ask Senior Sister Xueqi to go to 'Jingzhuxuan' to see her." ”

Wen Min was stunned, turned his head and glanced at Lu Xueqi, the corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth moved, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then said, "Okay, I'll go now." After saying that, she walked straight ahead, and soon disappeared into the Xiaozhufeng building.

Wen Min watched Lu Xueqi walk away, frowned, and said to Xiao Shi: "Xiao Shi, did Master say anything else, why did you call Xue Qi over?" ”

Xiao Shi shook her head and said, "No, after the master came back, he has been silent, and after a while, he asked me to call Senior Sister Xueqi to meet her." ”

Wen Min let out an "oh", couldn't figure it out for a while, shook his head, and said to the other Xiaozhufeng female disciples: "Okay, it seems that there is nothing wrong now, you should go back and rest first." ”

The women responded and walked away one after another, Wen Min finally glanced in the direction where Lu Xueqi went, and only felt heavy in his heart, and he felt mixed feelings for a while.

"Jing Zhu Xuan" is a secluded place in the hall of Xiaozhufeng, close to the back mountain, surrounded by verdant "tear bamboo", from time to time there is a mountain wind blowing, bamboo leaves gently shake, giving people a sense of tranquility. Master Shuiyue has always liked to come here the most, to be alone, so the other disciples of Xiaozhufeng are also very familiar with this place.

Lu Xueqi walked through the corridor, stepped on the bamboo forest path paved with sleek stones, zigzagged all the way, went deep into the bamboo forest, and soon came to the bamboo forest in the bamboo house, from the outside it looks simple and unpretentious, the outer wall made of beads, I don't know how many wind and rain time has been experienced, and there are faint old marks at this moment. On both sides of the room, there was a small window, and the figure of Master Shuiyue sitting in meditation could be vaguely seen inside.

Lu Xueqi walked to the door, the door of the room also made of bamboo was hidden, for some reason, she felt a little nervous in her heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Master, I'm Xueqi, did you call me?" ”

Master Shuiyue's voice came from the house, flat and emotionless, and said, "Yes, you come in." ”

Lu Xueqi perked up, pushed open the door and walked in. The furnishings in the room are very simple, tables, chairs, tea sets, *There is another desk by the window, on which there is paper, inkstone, pen and ink, and Master Shuiyue is not a person who likes luxury. At this moment, she was sitting at the desk by the window, silently looking at the bamboo forest outside the window.

Lu Xueqi walked behind her, looked at the back of Master Shuiyue, and said in a low voice, "Master." ”

Master Shuiyue slowly turned around and looked at Lu Xueqi, but Lu Xueqi didn't seem to want to look at the master and lowered his head. The master and apprentice did not speak, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while. In fact, speaking of which, Master Shuiyue and Lu Xueqi are not people who talk much, and this kind of scene has indeed appeared when they are alone before, but somehow, at this time today, there seems to be a strange strange feeling between master and apprentice, which makes them much farther away than before.

After a while, Master Shuiyue broke the silence and asked in a flat voice, "Did you go to the southwest this time, did you go well along the way?" ”

Lu Xueqi nodded and said, "Fortunately, beasts and demons were rampant along the way, but we all tried our best to avoid them, and finally found a crazy demon sect disciple, and then we found the Poisonous Snake Valley and saw ......"

Her voice suddenly stopped, and a clear trace of pain passed over her face, and even her body seemed to tremble slightly. Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi, the light in her eyes flashed, as if she was muttering something, and after a while, she looked at Lu Xueqi and said, "Have you seen her?" ”

Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Master Shuiyue, although Master Shuiyue's eyes were flat, he seemed to see her deep heart at a glance. Lu Xueqi shook her head and said in a low voice, "No." ”

Master Shuiyue sighed lightly: "The enemy of life, this is a hurdle and an opportunity." ”

Shui Yue's voice was not loud, but to Lu Xueqi, it was like a thunderclap in her ears, she raised her head suddenly, her face was cold, but the bright eyes of Master Shui Yue standing in front of her were still staring straight into her eyes. Lu Xueqi's lips opened and closed slightly, pursed tightly, and didn't say a word.

Silence has come again.

I don't know how long it took, Master Shuiyue's face slowly relaxed, and when she looked at Lu Xueqi, she gradually had a look of pity and heartache.

"Qi'er, do you know why I am willing to let you marry a disciple of Senior Brother Wan?" Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi and said slowly.

Lu Xueqi thought about it, shook her head, and said, "The disciple doesn't know. ”

Master Shuiyue let out a long sigh, her eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if she had remembered the past from this disciple, and even her own expression was a little sad. She slowly turned around, walked to the window, looked out the window at the verdant bamboo, still swaying with the wind, I just don't know the people back then, do you remember here?

"Actually, I used to be the same as you." Master Shuiyue said lightly.

Master Shuiyue didn't say much, and said, "Qi'er, you have always been smart about ice and snow, and there are some things I originally thought that even if I didn't say it, you should know it." ”

Lu Xueqi knelt behind her, motionless. I only heard Master Shuiyue continue: "Now that your cultivation has stepped into the transformation realm, even if you are a teacher, you may not be able to beat you, but sometimes the relationship is very difficult to overcome, while you care about Senior Jiang's nephew, don't you also care about Baguio, the sect master of the Ghost King Sect?" ”

Lu Xueqi replied in a low voice, her voice was almost inaudible, and said, "Yes." ”

Master Shuiyue said slowly: "Senior Nephew Jiang's cultivation has reached the Transformation Realm, even I can't see through it, so you still need to get through this level by yourself." ”

Lu Xueqi didn't speak, just nodded.

Master Shuiyue's face slowly softened, turned around, helped Lu Xueqi up, and said softly: "Qi'er, you are my most beloved disciple, among the disciples of the same sect, and even among the seven veins of the entire Qingyun Sect, among the younger generation of disciples, your talent for Dao cultivation is also the highest, and the future is really limitless." I expect a lot from you, you know? ”

Lu Xueqi said in a low voice, "Yes, Master." ”

Master Shuiyue looked at her and said, "With your qualifications, the first position of the Xiaozhu Peak in the future will naturally be yours, and when the time comes, you will be admired by everyone and meditate on the Heavenly Dao, isn't this exactly what you dreamed of before?" ”

Lu Xueqi was silent, just bowed her head slightly, and on her beautiful face, in addition to her pale complexion, was the slowly changing brilliance in her bright eyes, where, at some point, the once hazy mist had disappeared.

Master Shuiyue sighed and said, "You go back and think about it." ”

Lu Xueqi stood in front of her, and after hearing this, she didn't turn around and leave immediately, but slowly raised her head and looked at the teacher who raised her single-handedly.

"What's wrong, Qi'er?" Master Shuiyue asked.

"Master." Lu Xueqi called out slowly and said, "Thank you for your years of cultivation, I will definitely step through this last level, no matter how Senior Brother Jiang chooses." ”

Master Shuiyue shook his head and sighed, "What are you talking about?" ”
