Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.

In the early morning, there is a fresh breeze blowing slowly, and the verdant bamboo forests all over the mountain shake together, and the sound of rustling bamboo waves, such as the sound of nature, makes people feel peaceful. Last night, a heavy rain, as if the heaven and earth were washed, the fresh air passed by, the distant mountains were full of daisies, and the mountains and rivers were picturesque.

The stone path under my feet is still wet, and occasionally in the cracks of the stones, there is still some rain accumulated last night, and on and on both sides of the stone path, many fallen bamboo leaves have fallen, thinking that they were blown off by the wind and rain last night. It's still early, and no one has come to clean it yet.

Dressed in white like snow, delicate and dusty, Lu Xueqi walked alone in this bamboo forest path. In the morning breeze, her hair was soft and sprinkled on her shoulders, looking at the skin that could be broken by blowing, but there was a faint hint of pink in the snow, like beautiful flowers blooming quietly in the deep mountains and valleys.

On both sides of the stone path, the tall bamboo swayed slightly, and on the green bamboo leaves, there were condensed dew drops, which slid quietly and flew quietly to the earth.

She stepped forward, never looking back, her white clothes fluttering, and walked into the depths of the verdant bamboo forest.

The stone path is deep and twisting, and the bright light of the early morning penetrates through the dense cracks of the bamboo forest, and the bamboo shadow sways lightly, illuminating her slender figure.

A simple bamboo house in front of him gradually appeared, which was the place where the first Water Moon Master of Xiaozhufeng sat and practiced on weekdays.

Before Lu Xueqi walked to the hut, she stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, and reached out and gently tapped the door made of bamboo.

"Master, disciple Xueqi will meet you."

"Come in!" Master Shuiyue's voice came out of the hut, without joy or sorrow, and seemed to have the slightest emotion, as faint as water.

The door squeaked, and was gently pushed open by Lu Xueqi, Lu Xueqi walked in, and saw at a glance that the master was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, closing his eyes and calming down, and his expression was calm, and he couldn't see any changes in his expression because of his arrival.

Lu Xueqi silently walked in front of Master Shuiyue, knelt down, and said in a low voice, "Master, the apprentice is here." ”

She paused for a moment, and then continued: "Xueqi knows that she has failed your old man's expectations and made you sad, Master, please punish me!" ”

Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Lu Xueqi's body in front of him, stared at it for a long time, and then sighed, and said, "If I punish you, are you willing to change your mind and leave the kid surnamed Ye?" ”

Lu Xueqi bowed her head silently, not daring to look at her master's face, and didn't say a word, just looking at her expression, but where did she have the slightest regret?

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said with a slightly wry smile: "You have already become a relative to him, and it is a foregone conclusion, what's the use of me punishing you, that's it, that's it." Get up! ”

Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip slightly, looking a little excited, but she still controlled herself and stood up.

Master Shuiyue gently patted the bamboo couch beside him and said, "You can sit too!" ”

Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "The disciple doesn't dare." ”

Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said, "It's just the two of us here, what's there to worry about, isn't it because you hate me as a master after all, and you are separated from me?" ”

Lu Xueqi raised her head suddenly, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Master, I ······"

Master Shuiyue waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, you were raised by me, what kind of character do you have, I don't know yet?" ”

She reached out to Lu

Xue Qi grabbed her hand, gently pulled her over and sat beside her, carefully looked at Lu Xueqi's beautiful and elegant face, sighed, and said, "No matter what, I, as a master, am all for your good in the end, you have to remember." ”

The corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth moved, and she said in a low voice: "What the disciple understands, in fact, is the disciple's fault······"

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said, "Forget it, now, let's stop arguing about who is right and who is wrong, it is also your blessing that you and him can come together······" Speaking of this, it seemed that Master Shuiyue himself had touched his mind, and he was stunned for a while.

Lu Xueqi didn't dare to disturb the master, but she felt the warmth of the master holding her palm, but it was familiar for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Master Shuiyue was suddenly shocked, woke up from his trance, smiled bitterly, seemed to be a little self-deprecating, and then said to Lu Xueqi: "Alas, let's talk about these things later, I asked Wen Min to call you over last night, did she tell you everything?" ”

Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "Senior Sister didn't say anything, she just told me to come to Master early in the morning and say that if there is anything, Master will tell me yourself." ”

Master Shuiyue nodded silently and said, "Yes, although Wen Min's girl knows some, but after all, she doesn't have much, so let me tell you!" ”

Lu Xueqi's heart shook slightly, seeing that Master Shuiyue's face was a little heavy, it seemed that there was something difficult in his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, is there anything difficult, if you need a disciple, even if you command, the disciple will do his best, even if it is ······." She hesitated for a while, but finally said; "Even if the disciple can't do it, Ye Chen will definitely help me do it."

Master Shuiyue nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I believe in you, but there is indeed a big thing right now, and I am afraid that your ability is not enough to do it, but if you are Ye Chen's kid, you should still be sure, I think about it, among the Qingyun Sect, he is the only one who can do this now, so I called you over." ”

Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows and said in slight surprise: "Master, has something big happened in this sect?" ”

Master Shuiyue smiled bitterly and said, "Who said it wasn't? ”

Lu Xueqi said, "What's wrong, Master?" ”

Master Shuiyue pondered for a moment, as if he was also pondering, and then said slowly: "Your master uncle, as well as Tian Buyi Tian's uncle of Dazhu Peak, disappeared together a few days ago. ”

Lu Xueqi's whole body was shocked, and said, "They disappeared together?" ”

Master Shuiyue said lightly: "That day, a disciple of the Changmen saw Tian Buyi come to Tongtian Peak, and went straight to the ancestral hall of the ancestor in the back mountain. ”

Lu Xueqi frowned, obviously surprised.

Master Shuiyue paused for a moment, and then said: "After this incident happened, because the stakes were too big, Ye Yi, who is now in charge of Tongtian Peak, did not dare to cover it up, but he did not dare to announce this matter anyway, but secretly informed the person in charge of our several veins. I also went to the ancestral hall afterwards to check, but I didn't expect it to be ······."

Lu Xueqi was stunned and said, "What's wrong with the ancestral hall?" ”

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said, "The ancestral hall and the main hall have almost been destroyed, and it can be seen at a glance that it was destroyed by the mana of the fierce fighting method. ”

"What?" Lu Xueqi lost her voice and shouted softly.

Master Shuiyue sneered and said, "The ancestral hall of the ancestor is the place where my Qingyun Sect worships the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the two of them dare to do something in such a solemn realm, it is really lawless. And there's something more serious. ”

Lu Xueqi was surprised, but also surprised, she really couldn't think of anything more serious than destroying the ancestral hall of the patriarch, and couldn't help but ask, "What else?" ”

"Yesterday, Xiao Yicai hurriedly ran to me," Master Shuiyue's face became solemn, his eyes were a little more worried, and he said slowly: "According to what he said, since Senior Brother Daoxuan disappeared, he tried his best to track it down, so he wanted to check what his master left behind to see what he found, but unexpectedly, he found a big thing. Master Shuiyue closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired, and said, "Xiao Yi only discovered that the Zhuxian Ancient Sword of this sect has also disappeared. ”

Lu Xueqi was speechless.

Master Shuiyue opened his eyes and said, "I know that you are a smart person, and naturally know the stakes and mysteries, although the Zhuxian Ancient Sword has been damaged, but this matter is too important, and most outsiders don't know about the damage to this sword, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will be very troublesome."

Besides, in the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, there is actually a big secret, and it is even more important, it has always been known only to a very small number of people such as the head of my Qingyun Sect, if it is leaked out, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Lu Xueqi exclaimed: "In addition to being a divine soldier of this sect, is there any secret?" ”

Master Shuiyue was silent, he didn't say anything for a long time, and Lu Xueqi didn't dare to speak, he stood aside with his hands down, and said in a low voice for a while: "The disciple was rude, he lost his temper just now." ”

Master Shuiyue shook his head silently, and said for a while: "I don't mean to blame you for being a teacher, it's just that the stakes here are very big, and the ins and outs are extremely complicated······" When she said this, she paused for a while, as if she was pondering, and after a while, she said: "This matter is actually reasonable, even I, the head of Xiaozhufeng, can't know, because of the chaos a hundred years ago, a few of us accidentally knew a thing or two. ”

Lu Xueqi was stunned and said: "A few people, could it be that such a big secret, besides you, Master, is there anyone else who knows?" ”

Master Shuiyue said lightly: "In the chaos back then, the people involved in it were counted afterwards, and there should be five people, in addition to me, there are also Senior Brother Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and Senior Sister Su Ru..."

Lu Xueqi was listening, but suddenly Master Shuiyue stopped, calculated in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Master, there are only four people here, and there is one more?" ”

Master Shuiyue sighed, a faint melancholy flashed across his face, and said, "It's one of your uncles, named Wan Jianyi. ”

"A hundred years ago, the Demon Sect was rampant, the power was strong, the Dao eliminated the demons, and the demons were arrogant, and they wanted to level the right path in one fell swoop, so they invaded Qingyun. After a fierce fight, in the end, the ancestors and others fought hard, and at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, they invited the ancient sword of Zhuxian to sacrifice the "Zhuxian Sword Array", and finally turned defeat into victory. ”

Master Shuiyue's tone was flat, but Lu Xueqi's face changed color slightly, just by the sentence "tragic fighting", you can imagine the fierce and cruel battle situation back then.

It's just that Master Shuiyue didn't seem to mean this, and quickly continued: "After this battle, although the Demon Sect was hit hard, but my Qingyun lineage was also a great injury, and many senior ancestors with advanced Taoism died and were injured, and they had no spare strength to chase after them, but at this time, there was a senior brother who stood up and volunteered to be full of pride and pride to get rid of the evil and hunt down the remnants of the Demon Sect." ”

Lu Xueqi's heart moved, and said: "This uncle, but he is ten thousand swords?" ”
