Chapter 68: Red Dust

The Tower of Heaven on the Sword Peak is nine stories high, which is the ultimate in the number of heaven and earth. The body of the tower is dark and deep, slightly glowing with a faint golden light, presumably it must be wrapped by countless unpredictable prohibitions, and if the idlers dare to break in, they will have to suffer from the thunder and fire of that day.

The cold moonlight entered this side of the world, and was cut off by the formation and turned into a sea of fluorescent light. A little dappled light immersed in the moon sea, rippling slightly with the tide. Xu Han looked at this ancient wonder blankly, as if he woke up from a mundane dream, and in a trance, he dreamed back to his previous life, snuggled up to his parents in the summer night when he was a child, lying on the mat and quietly counting the twinkling stars in the clean night sky.

It was difficult to return in the previous life, Xu Han quietly looked at the "starry sky", he only wanted to serve Xu Shan and He Nu under the knees of this life, and send off the two elders for the elderly.

Thousands of antique boats embellished with carmine light gently wander in the moon sea, beautiful and moving. If there is a mortal partner who can be lucky enough to be here, dance with his beloved and above the moon sea, watch the scenery of the fairy mountain in this night, and appreciate the bright moon, it must be a good story to live up to this life.

It's a pity that the breeze came from the sound of the boat in the moon sea at the spire, which made the fledgling Xu Han's face red, he covered the little girl's ears tightly, and didn't dare to watch the moon sea for a long time, so he hurriedly followed behind his senior sister and entered the towering Tower of Babel step by step.

The tower pavilion is a circular building, with an empty bluestone-covered square in the middle. In the center of the square, a ring with a radius of dozens of zhang stood majestically, Xu Han felt palpitations after just looking at it, and he didn't know how many vain lives had been lost on it.

The top and bottom of the Babel Tower are built of purple gold sandalwood, and the Zen fragrance is far away. On the eaves of the carved beams and paintings, a few pieces of swaying red yarn are hung on them, and there is a slight charm of the atmosphere.

The little guys who come and go to serve are only two decades old, the men are all handsome people with tall bodies and sword eyebrows, Xu Han can see from his calm steps that these people are all self-cultivation, and they can be regarded as a city of handsome men in the definition of people, but it is a pity that they have to be reduced to serving tea and water on this abyss mountain, a few people passed by Xu Han and Hong Xu'er, and saw that the two of them were wearing green robes and suddenly bent down with their straight backs, and their faces were also piled up with a strong humility.

And the women are all smart and lovely with creamy skin, with slender waists and limbs like willows in the wind, and lotus steps moving slightly like small jasper. All of them are not inferior to the senior sister next to Xu Han, but they lack a little bit of pride that is not stained by the mud.

At this time, Xu Han suddenly remembered the forgetting words of being driven down the mountain by the master, this poor woman was born in the royal family, beautiful and moving, if she was at ease in the human world, she would definitely be sought after by many chivalrous people, and enjoy a flawless life, but unfortunately she fought for the destiny of heaven in vain, intending to be arrogant, but she didn't want to fall into a puddle of mud that she couldn't break free.

Tai Qing once said that there is a demon obstacle in his heart when he forgets to speak, and he burns his body without knowing it. In fact, she should not be blamed for all this, she is a weak woman, forgetting to say means immortality, the original intention is to protect the great rivers and mountains laid down by her ancestors, and to protect the dawn people in the country from the chaos of war, this is not wrong, but she wants to use the momentum of this abyss mountain to provoke the solid order that has been formed in the human world for hundreds of thousands of years, but she forgets that Daoyuan Mountain is only one side of the human world, not the immortal cave house that has been separated from the world, and finally sighed in vain for twenty years of green years, and ended up returning home covered with mud and dirt.......

"Heh, junior brother, but the maid who was driven down the mountain by Uncle Tai Qing before thinking about you?" Hong Xu'er glanced at Xu Han, who was obsessed with his thoughts, and smiled.

Xu Han woke up in shock, immediately stopped his pace, and looked at Hongxu'er with a raised brow in disbelief. Suddenly felt that this close and friendly senior sister was a little unfathomable, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly realized, and quickly gathered the surprise on his face, and reluctantly smiled: "How did Senior Sister learn about forgetting words?"

"Hehe, among the sects, only the teleportation altar on the trapped Xuancheng and the Burial Road Peak can go out of the mountain gate, and when the little maid came out of the mountain from the trapped Xuancheng, she was stopped by an acquaintance and asked a few words, so the news spread. ”

Xu Han's heart was slightly cold, the departure of a servant girl on the swagger peak, these high-ranking true disciples actually knew it in their hearts, the fruits in this sect were really unfathomable, and he asked casually seemingly unintentionally, "Did you ever tell someone why she was driven down the mountain gate by Shizun?"

Seeing the deliberate indifferent expression on Xu Han's face, Hong Xu'er was amused, and secretly said that this junior brother's Taoism is still too shallow, "I haven't heard anyone talk about it, she only said that she made a mistake in Zhaoyao Peak Mountain, and Senior Uncle Tai Qing drove her out of the mountain gate in a fit of anger........." After half a sentence, Hong Xu'er breathed slightly, and her eyes shook "I don't know if the junior brother knows the reason?"

"It's a little thing, it's not worth mentioning......." Xu Han smiled awkwardly and didn't say much. If this lets people know that they were almost lost by a maid who broke her belly with a few spirit fruits, then she is really laughing and generous!

Hong'er Liu Shao's brows trembled imperceptibly, and she maintained a gentle expression on her face and didn't ask too much, but the thick glow in her eyes made people feel that she hadn't let go of the matter.......

Xiying timidly looked at the endless comings and goings, but when she saw the three of them, she stepped aside and bowed to the waiters, who didn't dare to look up, with blank faces, and tugged at Xu Han's clothes, which was rarely much more honest, and even this elegant but magnificent antique building failed to attract her attention.

There is another miracle at the staircase across the building, and it takes only one step to pass through the height of one floor. However, after some questioning just now, Xu Han became a little restrained, and just silently followed behind Hong Xu'er, without saying much.......

Pushing open the door of the pavilion where the dragon and phoenix were carved, Zhang Lingcone smiled kindly and got up to greet him, "Senior Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for a few months, I don't know how you are doing on Zhaoyao Peak?"

Xu Han was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Senior Brother Ling Cone to be here tonight, he hurriedly put down the Xiying in his arms, and returned the salute respectfully, "Senior Brother Lao is worried, Xu Han and Senior Sister are all fine on Zhaoyao Peak, in the past few months, the senior has watched me closely, and the senior sister is the time to build the foundation of cultivation, so Xu Han did not go to Lingqiu to visit the senior brother, and I hope that the senior brother will not be blamed!"

"Heh, senior brother is polite!"

Zhang Lingcone smiled and looked at Xiao Xiying, who was leaning on Xu Han's calf, holding his fingers and eyes on the steaming and fragrant delicate dishes on the table for a moment, and his eyebrows towered, "This is your senior sister?

Xu Han kicked Xiying lightly, signaling her to hurry up and salute her senior brother, but how could the wanton and domineering little girl in the ancient village pay attention to so many rules?

Then the girl pouted her hands and feet and climbed up to the delicate table and chairs, looked at the table full of exotic flowers and fruits, exquisite dishes, and stretched out her little hand straight to the fragrant steamed blood bear paw, and gnawed on it with no time to herself!

In the quiet attic, the voice of the little girl's mouth was particularly harsh, Xu Han's cheeks were red with shame, and he hurriedly apologized to Zhang Lingcone, who was also a little embarrassed, and Senior Sister Su'er, who was smiling.

Waving his hand to let the two palace ladies serving on the left and right sides of the door wait, and when the pavilion door was closed, Hong Xi'er walked to Xiying's side with a smile and touched the energetic little girl, "People love such innocent and flawless girls, not like you men, all day long are either hypocritical and polite, or full of gloomy calculations!"

Hongxu'er's praise Xiying didn't appreciate it, but shook her head a few times dissatisfied, disgusted that she disturbed her rare meal!

Zhang Lingcone beckoned Xu Han, who was smiling bitterly, to sit down, and the four of them sat down on the railing.

Among the people at this table, except for Xi Ying, when Xu Han was the youngest, he consciously got up and poured a glass of sake for Ling Qiu Feng's two senior brothers and sisters, and then laughed long, "More two of you, otherwise Xi Ying and I will be hungry again tonight!" After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and pulled it away, smiling and revealing the bottom of the glass.

Seeing this, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the different colors in each other's eyes, and they were even more sure that Xu Han and Xiying were from a good background, otherwise how could a child who was only a few years old have such courage?

The sake was in the stomach, and the faint breath of the three people was a little stronger, Xu Han's eyes were confused, and he looked around at the countless attics in the Babel Tower, and spit out the wine, "Hehe, this Yijian Peak Babel Tower is like the Red Dust Inn in the human world, and it is lively .........and tight."

Hong Xu'er pointed to the boundless moon sea above the top of the tower, "This Babel Tower is not just as simple as an inn, have you forgotten all the fellow students who are boating on the moon sea?"

Zhang Lingcone's face was quite unnatural when he heard this, and he lowered his head and drank to himself.

Xu Han also sneered, "I don't expect my Dao Yuanshan senior brothers to be so happy and hateful......."

"Poof!" Hong Xi'er sneered, "The junior brother's words are tactful, like an elegant person who reads like the world......"

This is straightforward, Xu Han is not good at showing off his words, so he has to look forward to talking about other things.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Ling Cone came out in time to relieve the siege and said, "Actually, this Babel Tower was not originally built for us and other true disciples, but for the registered disciples trapped in Xuan City!"

"Oh?" Xu Han was surprised, "Please also ask my senior brother to teach me!"

After being a little familiar with Xu Han, Hong Xu'er no longer held the shelf, her slender and white arms like jade lotus were stacked on the table, her handsome cheeks were leaning against her arms, and she looked at her sweaty little hands waving with a smile in her eyes, as if she loved this unpretentious girl.

"The so-called Dharma does not spread the six ears, and the Tao cannot be passed on lightly. Therefore, my Daoyuan Mountain has always been not easy to accept disciples, hundreds of thousands of years ago, this Babel Tower was originally a place for the main examination of the sect's Zhumai Peak, and the place to accept disciples!"

Xu Hanleng paused, then stood up, pointed to the ring at the bottom of the tower and asked, "Senior brother is ........ mean?"

Zhang Lingcone put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked down at the black rock platform below with a deep meaning: "That's right! It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, many outstanding registered disciples in the trapped Xuan City competed on it and revealed what they had learned. And many of my Daoyuan predecessors watched from this nine-story Babel Tower, and if they saw the seedlings that they liked, they would be put into the door wall and pass down the mantle. ”

"Then what happened, how did this place become a meeting place for us?" Xu Han asked curiously.

Senior Brother Ling Cone rubbed the green jade cup with his fingertips, and the breath around his body was a little obscure, "Heh, later there were more and more descendants in the sect, and many of the descendants of the ancestors of the sect were practicing in the mountains. In recent years, there are almost no people who have stepped into the true lineage of the sect from the name of the Babel Tower, and even the people who are like the junior and younger brothers are gifted and coincidentally accepted by the peak master directly from the human world into the door wall are also only a handful....."

"Oh?" Xu Han frowned slightly, and looked at the martial arts platform, the mottled and dull color in the basalt-covered masonry cracks, and the tip of his nose twitched as if he could smell the rich and pungent smell of blood, "Then these registered disciples don't know the reason, why do they still come to Yijian Peak to fight for life and death?"

Zhang Lingcone was just about to say more, when he suddenly saw several strange lights flashing on the spacious bluestone square at the bottom of the tower, which was the brilliance of the teleportation formation.

The light dissipated, and the square, which was still empty, was suddenly crowded with people and there was a commotion. In the blink of an eye, thousands of nearly thousands of registered disciples poured into the Tower of Babel!

Zhang Lingcone stopped his words and beckoned the young man who was watching the excitement to sit down, "As for why they are still here, junior brother and patience to watch it, it is ........"
