Inscription: The title of the volume, derived from the Nalan word, if life is only as first seen, other book friends will read it normally:. It's not to commemorate the first love of Aiqing, it's just to miss the distant youth. There are some things that, once in the past, cannot be turned back on. In this volume, the protagonist will reminisce about some of the past and cut off some of the dust. In fact, the name of the volume comes from a scene, and it emerges naturally, and I hope that when you see this scene, you can also suddenly realize, so it is. That's the author's success.

****************************************************

After saying goodbye to Ming Wuyu, Gu Yan flew all the way south, arrived at the ferry of Xuanshui, and then took a flat boat and continued southward along the North Sea. It took half a year to travel tens of thousands of miles south, and finally arrived at the border of the Yue country.

When she stepped on the land of Yue Country again, and then walked on the seashore where she grew up as a child, she couldn't help but feel a little lost. She's been away for nearly 17 years, more than half of her life.

Gu Yan brushed the broken hair on his forehead with his hand, got rid of those chaotic thoughts, and then walked slowly in the direction of the deserted village. From a distance, you can already see some cooking smoke rising, is there any sign of people here?

Sure enough, on the site of that deserted village, some families began to gather again, although it was not as prosperous as before, but there was already a faint scene of a village. The tide reflects the setting sun, a few children are playing happily at the entrance of the village, and the men are carrying forks and dragging fishing nets, returning in twos and threes, and then there are wives and daughters who greet them with warmth.

Gu Yan suddenly seemed to have returned to the past, she calmed down her thoughts, and then walked inside.

Some are still living in those old houses, while others have built new ones. Gu Yan's house was not inhabited. However, it seems to have been cleaned. Gu Yan walked in slowly, and when she saw that the layout inside was as usual, she faced the main hall. Respectfully bowed three times.

At this moment there was a sound of staggering footsteps under the door, and an old woman walked in with a large broom. When I saw her, I was surprised and said, "Who are you?" ”

Gu Yan showed a slight smile to her: "I...... It's a relative of this family. Did you always help clean your old home? ”

When the old woman saw her as a girl in green clothes, her expression was indifferent, her eyebrows were picturesque, she thanked her with a smile, and waved her hand busily and said, "It's just a pity to see that this place is good, and it is a pity that it is deserted." Don't dare to be a girl and say thank you. She looked embarrassed again, "Children sometimes come here to play. Sorry to bother. ”

Gu Yan waved his hand, "Keeping the old residence here is just a thought, why care?" She touched her waist, took out two gold beads, thought for a while, took out another jade bottle, handed it to the old woman, and said, "Aunt Domont takes care of the ancestors' old residence. That's a thank you gift. After speaking, she glanced back again, and with a slight stomp on her feet, the purple lotus platform took her to the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

The old woman watched in surprise as Gu Yan rose into the sky. Slowly disappeared, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground, clasped his head to the sky again and again, and shouted: "Immortals! Immortals! ”

Gu Yan drove the purple lotus platform, and after flying from the sky above the fishing village, he didn't stop anymore, and went straight to Tianmu Mountain. She gave the old woman two gold beads and left a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill, so that she could eat it to strengthen her body and prolong her life. revealed the miracle of the immortals again, just thanking her for the kindness she had been cleaning her old residence in the past few years. Moreover, there is her word of mouth, and the old residence will not be forcibly occupied, and other book friends will read it normally:.

After taking care of these, she was going to go up to Qingyun Mountain again, re-enter the Red Leaf Valley, and fulfill the previous appointment with Gu Hongye that day.

The purple lotus platform at her feet was transformed by her purple Luo Tianhuo, after all, it was not an authentic magic weapon, it was too consuming of spiritual energy, and the flight could not last, fortunately, Tianmu Mountain was only a few hundred miles away from here, when she arrived at the periphery of Tianmu Mountain and landed on the footsteps, she couldn't help but feel a little tired, it seems that after the trip to Qingyun Mountain, she had to look for a flying magic weapon as soon as possible.

She is located at the southern foot of Tianmu Mountain, and Qingyun Mountain is in the northwest of Tianmu Mountain, south of Yunyang City. If you want to fly directly to Qingyun Mountain, you have to cross Tianmu Mountain, which is inevitably disrespectful to the three major sects in Tianmu Mountain.

Gu Yan walked slowly along the southern foot of Tianmu Mountain. Looking at most of the familiar scenery, it is also interesting. But as she walked slowly, she felt that something was wrong.

In the past, in Tianmu Mountain, most of the people came and went monks, although they were not as endless as the mortal towns, but there were many people. But now in Tianmu Mountain, it is quiet and uninhabited. She glanced up, Tianmu Mountain crisscrossed the north and south, and the three major sects were each there. The Zhushan Sect is in the north, the Taiyi Gate is in the middle, and the Fuyumen occupies the southern foothills. This place is so secluded, could it be that something happened to the floating jade gate?

At this time, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she made a move to the side, saying, "Who's on the side, come out!" ”

A female monk appeared in the forest not far away, she was not tall, she seemed to be just a little girl, she took a few steps forward, bowed to Gu Yan, and said, "Disciple of Fuyumen, meet the seniors." Did the seniors come to Tianmu Mountain to visit friends? ”

Gu Yan saw that she was a tenth-level female cultivator of Qi refining, and nodded slightly, "I once learned the Tao in Tianmu Mountain, and this time I came back to visit my old friend, is this where your sect is located, why is there no one behind?" ”

The man thought that Gu Yan was not malicious, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's just because my Fuyumen is holding a trial meeting, and most of the scattered cultivators here go to attend the meeting, and there are also some seniors from other sects who go to watch the ceremony. ”

Gu Yan said "ah", the trial conference was something she had heard about when she first entered Tianmu Mountain. Generally, it is held by the three major sects in turn, and after selecting a group of people, they will conduct separate small comparisons with each sect according to their wishes, and sometimes, some senior monks in the sect will also select disciples. She asked, "Is the trial meeting over, and now is the small election in your door?" ”

The female monk sighed, "The seniors know the rules of Tianmu Mountain very well. A total of 527 people participated in this trial meeting, and after the trial, a total of 109 people entered the small election, and a total of 37 people applied for my Fuyumen. zuihou will select four disciples to join my floating jade sect as disciples. ”

Gu Yan said "oh", four out of thirty-seven, this elimination rate is not low. Since she arrived at Tianmu Mountain, she has always heard people talk about the trial conference, but she has never seen it with her own eyes, this time it coincides with the meeting, but she didn't want to miss it, so she nodded slightly and said, "Lead the way before the head of the labor." ”

The little girl also said respectfully, "Don't dare to be." "After that, we have to move forward. Gu Yan took a look at her, and suddenly felt that she was a little familiar, "Wait, you...... Is it surnamed Feng? ”

The little girl said with some surprise: "Junior Feng Moqiang, have you ever known your senior?" ”

Gu Yan's expression was a little leisurely, she seemed to have returned to the period when she was a young man, she and the sixth brother Gu Mingze, the tenth brother Gu Moyan, and the most funny big head Fang Ming, the four of them went to visit the Fang Market of Tianmu Mountain. Fang Ming sold the spirit beast to a small shop called "Jade Xuan", which was opened by a female disciple of the Floating Jade Sect, and the one who presided over the business in the store was this Feng Moqiang in front of him.

I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and she has steadily advanced to the tenth layer of qi refining. Feng Moqiang and Gu Yan only knew each other, so naturally they couldn't remember it, and looked at the foundation-building senior in front of them a little strangely.

Gu Yan waved his hand, "I just remembered some of the past, you lead the way." ”

Feng Moqiang responded, took Gu Yan forward, passed through several mountains, and saw the floating jade peak in front of him towering into the clouds. A large open space in front of the peak was divided into several areas by spiritual power, and there was a viewing area on the side, Feng Moqiang pointed to the tallest one in the middle and said: "The elders of this sect are all there, and other book friends look at it normally:." The two on the side are the predecessors of Taiyimen and Zhushan Sect who came to watch the ceremony. The rest of the loose practices are on both sides. After speaking, he led Gu Yan to sit on the high platform on the left.

Gu Yan Xiangxia saw that the field was divided into six areas, and there were two monks competing in each area. At this time, Feng Moqiang had already stepped down from the stage, and there were two other disciples on the stage who were serving.

There are not many people on this high platform, and counting Gu Yan, there are only four or five of them, all of whom were cultivated in the early stage of foundation building. Gu Yan took a look, if you don't count the three major sects, there are probably only about two dozen foundation building monks present, and none of them have reached the realm of the late stage of foundation building, it seems that the immortal cultivation realm of Yue Kingdom is much more withered than Luodi.

The monks on the same stage all seemed to be indifferent, but they just looked down at the stage, and they didn't mean to talk, and Gu Yan was not interested in taking the initiative to find something to say. She summoned one of the serving disciples and asked, "How far has the election been conducted?" ”

That disciple was very young, probably only in his teens, only a cultivator at the second or third level of Qi refining, and he had great respect for the foundation building monks, and replied respectfully: "It is still in the stage of competing with each other, according to the rules, the monks who participated in the competition compete with each other, the loser is beaten into the loser group, and the loser is eliminated from the game, zuihou decides that the four disciples are the winners, and they will enter the floating jade gate, and then the head of the sect will assign them where to be apprentices." ”

Gu Yan nodded, and Xiangxia looked. She has traveled all over the world over the years, and she has seen far more than before. Watching these monks who are usually at the seventh or eighth level of qi refining compete, she felt a little bored for her who had experienced countless battles of life and death.

The competition of qi refining cultivators is nothing more than the use of talismans and spiritual weapons. Some wealthy pills can be taken casually, so naturally they will have the upper hand over others. Like there is a woman in white below, her fighting experience is not rich, but there are many kinds of spiritual weapons in her hands, and when she encounters an invincible, she throws a lot of talismans, and the pill seems to be stuffed into her mouth without money, and she has broken through several levels in a row, and will soon enter the eight people of Zuihou.

Gu Yan couldn't help but shake his head, he must be a disciple of a big family, and his handwriting is really extraordinary. At this time, a voice came from the side, "That's the niece and granddaughter of Fairy Zeng of Fuyumen, and this time she also came to participate in the small competition, and they all said that among the four disciples of Zuihou, she already has a place."
