"The snow dances to wake up the cold window, and the pivot is decayed and covered with yellow. Thin bones, Ying Luoyang red makeup. ”

The empty man stroked a long sword, the scabbard had decayed, revealing a trace of antiquity, as if caressing his lover's skin, and his eyes were filled with a faint tenderness. After chanting a poem, "Zheng" pulled out the long sword and said: "This sword name is 'Snow Falling', the sword is three feet nine inches long, the sword is three inches wide, the sword embryo is made of innate spiritual treasures, from the snow falling in the Cangdong Cave, named after the lake, the sword body is engraved with one hundred and eight charms, including twelve three-grade charms, thirty-two five-grade charms, sixty-four seven-grade charms, is a three-grade earth-level rune sword, with me for thousands of years, this time I will give it to you." With a wave of one hand, the long sword stood in front of Chu Qi.

I saw that the whole body of this sword is snow-white and crystalline, like ice crystals, the sword body is blue and white water lines flowing, engraved with dense spells, the sword gauntlet is hexagonal snowflake-shaped, the center of the blue and white double fish, intertwined and circulating; the hilt of the sword is engraved with a cyan unicorn pattern, and the five-word quatrain is written on it, which is just the empty man chanting.

Chu Qi said dumbly: "Pifu is not guilty, this sword is too precious to me, besides, it has accompanied the master for thousands of years, how can the disciple take the favor of others." ”

The empty man sighed: "These are just some things outside the body, and lingering memories, didn't you just say that you can really put it down when you pick it up, and if you don't put it down as a teacher, how can you be your teacher." After speaking, he raised his hand with one hand, and the decayed and mottled scabbard floated in front of Chu Qi.

"This sheath is just made of ordinary plum wood, and I made this sheath with a sword from a beautiful woman. In the early years, the cultivation was shallow, and the sheath wood was not well protected, so it was stained with decay. Now, over the years, I've changed a little bit of my powers. With a one-handed move, the snow fell and flew into the sheath with a "zheng" sound, and the brilliance was all gone, but it was just a rotten wood sword.

Chu Qi was not pretentious, holding the snow in both hands, and said, "Master Xie gave me the sword." "The sword is in the hand, and I only feel the slightest coolness from the sheath into my heart, and the bones are all over the world, and my mind is clear. Chu Qi naturally knew that this sword was extremely precious, rare in the world, and had extraordinary significance to the master. Thanking the teacher for his kindness, he bowed again with a sword in both hands.

The empty Taoist waved his hand and said: "This trip to Youzhou is extremely dangerous, although there are fellow Daoists of Yuqingmen to discuss the plan to explore the secluded, but still not to take it lightly. With the power of your extreme talisman, you could have turned evil into good, but you couldn't use it, alas. Everything is his fate, but the teacher can't calculate your fate, only know that you will encounter a big accident on this trip, whether it is good or bad is unknown. I have informed that the kid Li Muqing of the White Tiger Palace has arranged for one of his Seven Star Protectors to secretly protect you, and the master can only help you get here, and the rest only needs to be recited, self-denial, and the Great Dao. ”

Chu Qi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the master to give such a solemn order, scratched his hair, bowed down with both hands and thanked him: "Master Xie's teachings, the disciple must keep it in mind." ”

The Kongdao man brushed his white beard, smiled and nodded frequently, and there was a subtle trace of worry in his expression.

At this time, the sun and the moon shine together, the mountain wind is howling, looking down on the lofty mountains, and the disciples are either swinging their fists and feet repeatedly in the martial arts arena, or they are performing their duties and hurrying to live with wind on the soles of their feet. Chu Qi muttered, "It's time to take a look at Grandpa Songshu, and then go to Grandpa Kuiyang's pillar incense." ”

Qingsong Lake Courtyard, the pine is still the pine, the lake is still the lake, the people who are looking forward to it are still there, and the home is still there, "I'm going home." Chu Qi strode into the courtyard.

"Is Xiao Qi back?" or a familiar, spring breeze voice. The old man leaned over and slowly went out of the court, squinting his eyes, and looked at Chu Qi lovingly.

"Grandpa Songshu, Xiao Qi is back to see you. After speaking, Chu Qi knelt on the ground with a "snap", pong pong kowtowed three times, put his red and swollen forehead, and grinned with a smile.

"Get up and let Grandpa take a good look at you. Songshu raised his wrinkled hands, like when he was a child, patting Chu Qi's head, "My little seven has grown taller again." ”

Chu Qi said with a smile: "Grandpa Songshu's body is still so strong. After speaking, he took out a handbag from behind him and opened it, which was full of some fairy mushroom spirit ginseng, as well as a large pile of eleven-grade extreme dao talismans. "Ganoderma lucidum ginseng is taken from the Wanhua Valley of the Flower Butterfly Sea, the year is long, the medicinal effect is extremely strong, it must be supplemented with small leaf Guilan and Wanhua Valley Spring, which can neutralize the medicinal properties and will not destroy the medicinal effect, but also clear the lungs and strengthen the spleen, complement each other. ”

"Alas, every time I come, I have a big bag and a small bag, and everyone has their own life, besides, your grandfather and I are still very healthy, I don't need these Shilaozi herbs, I take them back and eat them myself. Songshu said that his face was crumpled into a ball of papyrus.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Chu Qi took out a handful of Extreme Dao Talismans from his bag, "There are 11 Rank Wind Talisman 100 Dao, 11 Grade Strong Body Talisman 100 Dao, 11 Grade Gathering Spirit Talisman 100 Dao, 11 Grade Pure Heart Talisman 100 Dao, and a True Eleventh Grade Spirit Summoning Talisman Totoro." Chu Qi held the True Eleventh Grade Spirit Summoning Talisman, and his face was quite proud. "My neighbor totoro is an auspicious beast that has the effect of protecting the body from evil. This rune penmanship is also a rare ancient rune in ten thousand books. Generally, there are certain summoning restrictions for the spirit changer, but this talisman is not only a pole talisman, but also a true spirit talisman, rune paper, pen and ink and other materials are not castrated, the effect has escaped common sense, as long as the talisman is properly kept, the talisman line is not bad, and the spirit can always be there. After saying that, Chu Qi snapped his fingers, and there was a slump in his placket, and a round ball of flesh with snow-white fur clumsily climbed onto Chu Qi's shoulder, half-squinting, as if he hadn't woken up yet. The little tongue licked the front paws, then wiped them around the fleshy face. Chu Qi handed over a nucleol, and Totoro grabbed it with one paw, holding the nucleol with two small paws, puffing out his cheeks and gnawing it.

"Alas, I want to do this, it's good to come back and see it more often, and do these wasteful things for no reason. Songshu said angrily.

"Grandpa, Xiao Qi is going to go on a long trip recently, and he may have to go down the mountain for a while to practice, why don't you find a companion for you and amuse you for me. ”

"Okay, good, good experience, the man is ambitious, he should go out and see more. Be cautious outside, act kindly, and don't get into trouble. Song Shuman said with relief.

"Grandpa, don't worry, but you have to take care of your body, I'm afraid it hasn't been peaceful recently, you can put away these talismans in case you need them. Chu Qi said earnestly.

Songshu's face was quite helpless, and he muttered: "Grandpa is old, and I will go to your Grandpa Kuiyang for tea in a few years." ”

Chu Qi said with a serious face: "Grandpa, since I am practicing outside, you also have to reassure me that when I return from training, I will have to have a home to go back to." After speaking, his eyes were moist.

Songshu smiled and said: "Everyone has their own fate, but if you are still a cultivator, you can't see through life and death." Then he waved his hand and continued: "Grandpa promised you to take good care of your body, okay." After Chu Qi listened, he split his mouth to reveal snow-white teeth.

Chu Qi stayed in Qingsong Lake Courtyard for a few days, enjoyed the long-lost family time, and then returned to his small wooden room. I saw that the doors and windows of the woodcutter house were closed, and Xue Xiaopan was nowhere to be seen, and he was a little confused for a while. Although he has taken leave from the Office of the Star Picking Building of the Library Pavilion in the past few days, and Chu Qi will be reinstated in the cabinet as soon as he returns, he still does not see his name when he sees that there is no name on the shift desk, and he still does not see his name when he looks through the schedule book to see the future arrangements. The Library Pavilion was even so big that few people in the Shangqing Courtyard had a serious eye on Chu Qi, not to mention that they dared to touch the goddess Qingyun Fairy in their minds, so they went all over the Shifang Building, but they didn't find a colleague who could ask why. Chu Qi was helpless, so he had to play with the flowers and plants, read the classics, and ran to the Qingji Palace to find Li Shiqing a few times in the middle, and was told for the first time that the fairy had closed the dead pass, and no one heard from him later.

For a while, Chu Qi became a person again, but it was rare to be idle, so one day, a certain ceremony was held, and the ten major sects discussed the great plan of the netherworld, but Chu Qi was alone in the library pavilion, looking at the book with relish, so that he completely forgot about going to Youzhou.

One day, Chu Qi had nothing to do, and wanted to go to the Wangxing Pavilion at the highest point of Xiyuntai to pay homage to the stars. In the past, Li Shiqing often secretly brought Chu Qi up to enjoy the stars and the beautiful sky while cultivating with Li Li. Wangxing Pavilion is a forbidden place for washing Yuntai, and it has its own prohibition by the Dao King, but Chu Qi relies on the Dao King's order, but there is no obstacle to entering and exiting. Chu Qi pillowed his head with his hands, lying on his back on the stargazing platform, a little starlight circulating in his eyes, there was no thick soil in his eyes, only the vicissitudes of life, quite embraced, and the surging feeling of body and mind turning into the universe.

"Hmph, what a junior who doesn't know whether to live or die. A cold rebuke appeared in his ears, and Chu Qi shook his spirit, and his divine consciousness cleared up from the sense of Xuan Ao Hongmeng.

This voice was mixed with a hint of spiritual attack, and the person who scolded saw that Chu Qi was indifferent, his face turned pale, and he didn't wait for Chu Qi to reply, and said hatefully: "Don't say anything about my daughter's reputation, and now she is trespassing on the forbidden land, what crime should she be guilty of!"

Hearing this, even if Chu Qi didn't turn his head to see the person who came, he already knew who it was, Li Shangjun, the protector of the Six Grades of Dao King of Xiyuntai, he had a more important identity, that is, Li Shiqing's father.

Chu Qi got up with a grunt, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "I have seen the predecessor of the Dao King, it is a disciple's sin to enter the Wangxing Pavilion without permission. Worried that the other party would be in trouble, he hurriedly said: "The family teacher gave the disciple a Daowang order, and the disciple saw that the fairy scenery was wonderful, so he couldn't help but look at it abruptly, broke the ban, and hoped that the seniors would be light." Chu Qi knew that if she said too much, she would lose, and she didn't dare to take a word about the things that hurt her daughter's reputation.

"Hmph!" Li Shangjun naturally knew that this son had the order of the Dao King, and his teacher was strict and his background must be not small, and he would definitely not be able to please him if he asked too much about this matter. Then he said: "This matter will not be pursued for the time being, but recently there have been many rumors in the Shangqing Yuan, falsely claiming that the little girl is marrying you, but is there such a thing?"

Chu Qi said carefully: "The disciple is afraid, the disciple has been soaking in the library all the year round, and he has never had a deep friendship with others, and he doesn't know where these gossips come from. ”

"Hmph! Qingyun Fairy has been famous for a while, and there has never been a rumor before, but now you say you don't know, is it still my little girl who did it on purpose?"

Chu Qi said: "The disciple is indeed good friends with Ling Qianjin, but the two of us are upright, and we have never done anything beyond the norm. ”

"That's enough..."Li Shangjun interrupted, "You have too close to each other, and you can't help but lead others to say, I don't care who you are learning behind your back, you must be self-aware." Continuing to pester my daughter will only hurt her. I understand and tell you, in fact, she has a marriage contract with Zhang Tianmo, the eldest disciple of Yunxiao Palace, and others are under forty, and they are already eight-rank real people, so you should do it yourself. ”

Chu Qi was silent for a moment, unable to argue, he and Li Shiqing were innocent, and they had been friends for many years, and they had a bad feeling in their hearts, but they felt that others had good intentions as fathers, which was not unreasonable. He sighed secretly, saluted, and without saying a word, turned around and went down the mountain.

"Huh~ Didn't you go to Youzhou to practice, why are you still in the hospital?"

Chu Qi paused and said suspiciously: "I haven't been notified yet, I thought..."

Li Shangjun sneered: "Hehe, you didn't even know about the pledge meeting half a month ago?, now the brigade has been set off for dozens of days." ”

Chu Qi was stunned, thinking that he had been soaking in the library pavilion some time ago, and he probably missed something important, so he thanked him: "Thank you seniors for informing me, disciple is leaving." After saying that, he hurried down the mountain.

Li Shangjun sneered silently, and said in his heart: You don't have to thank me, this is going to Youzhou, a dangerous road for thousands of miles, if you lose your life, you just fulfill my wish, I want to thank you.
