Venerable Beixuan pulled Tianxue out of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, stepped on the sword and flew back to the previous pavilion.

In mid-air, Bei Xuan found that the pavilion was empty, and only a little fairy boy was cleaning outside the pavilion, which made Bei Xuan a little disappointed, and said to Tianxue: "The master and the uncle have left, it seems that I missed the opportunity to meet the new disciples, and there are good apprentices who have also let Donghua and Nanyu snatch them." ”

Tianxue looked at the empty pavilion and said, "The two of us only left for a while, I didn't expect the master to leave so soon." Senior brother, where are we going to find the master?"

"I guess the master must have returned to the Cloud Tower, let's go there and have a look. ”

"Where is the Cloud Tower?"

"Well, my master Yun Yan Shangshen lives in the Cloud Appreciation Tower, there is nothing important Yan Lao rarely leaves the Cloud Appreciation Tower, we will definitely find him there. ”

"Will my master be with Yan Lao?"

"I don't know, let's go find out. Senior sister is the only apprentice of Leng Gu Shangshen, and her identity is different from that of other disciples, and besides, you can't live with that group of ordinary disciples with children. Even if you can't find your uncle when you arrive at the Cloud Appreciation Building, we can also ask Yan Lao and ask Yan Lao to arrange a quiet place for you to live. ”

"Thank you, brother, for thinking about me and taking me to the air again. ”

"Senior sister don't have to be polite, we are the same brother and sister, we are a family, in the future, you can go to my pharmacy to find me in your spare time, I will teach you some simple medical skills and then send you some nourishing medicines, which can improve your internal strength so that you can complete the six magic orders as soon as possible." ”

"Senior brother is really a good person, I will definitely go to the storage pharmacy to find you when I have time. ”

Bei Xuan turned around, and the sword under his feet slashed across the sky, leaving a long white light, which looked as gorgeous as a meteor falling from a distance.

A moment later, the soaring silver sword swept through a canyon in the air and flew up a scenic mountain. The summit floats majestically in the sky, and there are beautiful clouds of colorful clouds floating in the sky, and there are no trees on the ground, but there are all kinds of unknown grasses and wild flowers of various colors.

At the highest end of the peak, there is a gorgeous pavilion built, the height of the building is three floors, the jade pillar is golden tile, the spiritual light is shining, the eaves are carved with the flying dragon pattern layer by layer, the corners of the building are like the wings of the crane, stretch in the air, want to take off.

Bei Xuan withdrew his sword, landed with the snow fluttering, and walked towards this beautiful palace.

The two little disciples who were standing guard outside the door hurriedly bowed and greeted Venerable Beixuan when they saw him coming.

Bei Xuan asked, "Is the god in the building?"

The two little disciples nodded.

"Tong'er went to report to God, and said that Beixuan and Tianxue asked to see him. ”

"Please wait here for a moment. ”

After a while, the little disciple who went to report came back again, and Shi Li said: "The two gods are in the palace, please invite the Venerable and the Immortal Gu to enter the palace." ”

Tianxue and Beixuan walked into the hall side by side, and a breeze with a faint fragrance of flowers came to their faces, making Tianxue feel refreshed and much clearer. The ground underfoot is paved with colorful marble, and it slightly exudes a rainbow-like halo of seven colors. The spacious and bright hall is not furnished with any furniture, only two round flower beds blooming with fragrant flowers. The walls around it were painted with a map of the red sun, which must have been made of a huge pearl of the night, and it was constantly shining brightly.

Passing through several layers of fluttering curtains, entering an enchantment, the eyes suddenly opened up, and at the edge of the cliff a ladder floating in the air led to the clouds, and the steps were as white and beautiful as layers of clouds.

Tianxue was just about to walk up the ladder, but was stopped by Beixuan.

"Senior sister, be careful, this ladder can't be stepped on. ”

"How do we go upstairs?"

Before Tianxue could react, her hand was already held by Bei Xuan, and he took her to jump up and fly straight towards the clouds.

Beixuan said to Tianxue in the air: "Yan Lao's Cloud Appreciation Tower is the same as Shi Bo's Wind Listening Palace, with the Heavenly Pole Beidou Array on the top and the Earth Pole Bagua Diagram below, and the suspended power of space can make people fly freely." ”

"Then why can't you step on the ladder?"

"Some of the steps of the ladder are fake, and if you step on it, you will fall off the cliff and die. This matter is known only to the twelve fairies of heaven and earth on Caiyun Mountain, except for me, Donghua and Nanyu, and only our disciples can enter Yan Lao's Cloud Appreciation Tower. Even the two little disciples who were guarding outside the building just now couldn't open the enchantment and couldn't go upstairs, they all talked to Yan Lao upstairs through the sound flute and bronze mirror. ”

"So, I'm the sixteenth disciple to know this secret. ”

"Yes, you are the beloved disciple of my uncle, so I dare to tell you this. ”

Tianxue thought to herself, could it be that the steps on the Star Picking Tower are also some fake? No wonder he stupidly climbed the stairs that day, and the master would use a whirlwind to send him upstairs.

The sea of clouds in the long sky was rolling boundlessly, and countless white clouds continued to pass by Tianxue and Beixuan, carrying water vapor that hit the face coldly. The red sun in the distance casts thousands of miles of glow, shining on the sea of clouds and setting off colorful rainbows, so beautiful that Tianxue is reluctant to blink his eyes.

The baby girl hadn't woken up yet, and slept quietly in Tianxue's arms.

Venerable Beixuan's mana is profound, pulling the snow to fly very fast, she is intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds, and she doesn't know that she has been taken by Beixuan to fly to a strange palace.

Looking down at the whole palace from above, I saw the pavilions shining with golden spiritual light, the ground was planted with red flowers and green trees, small bridges and flowing water, and the long corridors were bent and connected with beautiful pavilions.

At the southernmost end of the palace there is a large lake, and there are seven beautiful islands in the lake, which form a map of the Big Dipper from a distance.

Above the fluttering flowing clouds, Bei Xuan saw a small boat floating on the lake, and two white-clothed immortals were sitting on the boat. He drove the clouds under his feet towards the boat in the lake.

Approaching the boat, Tianxue called out loudly: "Master-"

Leng Guqing turned his head and looked up and said, "Xue'er, Beixuan, you two went upstairs so quickly." ”

Bei Xuan pulled the snow and slowly landed on the boat.

He bowed down to the two white-clothed immortals and said, "Apprentice Beixuan has disturbed the master and uncle, I hope the master and uncle don't blame me." ”

Yunyan Shangshen only looked at the compass in his hand, did not look up at Beixuan, and only said softly: "I don't blame you for the teacher, sit down and take a look at the stars in the lake with the teacher." ”

At this time, Tianxue found that the lake in front of him was very strange, there were no lotuses, aquatic plants and no fish in the lake, and even the boat paddled across the water without a trace of ripples, and the whole lake was calm like a transparent mirror. The deep blue water of the lake is very clear, and the stars are clearly visible, like a bright starry sky reflected in the lake.

Tianxue was stunned by the scene in front of her, and Leng forgot to meet the two white-clothed immortals.

Seeing Tianxue staring at the lake in a daze, Bei Xuan gently patted her on the shoulder. Tianxue relieved herself and smiled at him, her face a little embarrassed.

Bei Xuan saw that Yun Yan Shangshen was looking intently at the compass bronze mirror in his hand, and gently walked over and sat beside him, without talking to disturb him.

Tianxue, like Bei Xuan, didn't speak in order not to disturb Yunyan Shangshen, didn't give him a salute, and slowly walked towards Leng Guqing.

"Master, the water in this lake is so amazing! Why can you see the stars in the water?" Tianxue asked Leng Guqing curiously.

Leng Guqing pointed to the surface of the lake and said: "The water in this lake was drained from the Tianhe River by Marshal Tianpeng, and the Star Divine Monarch personally turned the lake into a mirror. We can see the changes of each star from the lake, in the immortal clan, every time someone cultivates to become an immortal, there will be one more golden star in this star lake, and in the demon world, whenever a demon with high mana appears, there will be one more silver star in this star lake. ”

"So, if an immortal dies or a demon dies, will there be a star disappear?"

Leng Guqing nodded.

"I see, Xue'er understands. ”

Tianxue and Leng Guqing were talking, and suddenly saw Yun Yan Shangshen next to him flying to the lake with a compass bronze mirror.

The white figure spun around the lake a few times before landing on the boat. He held the bronze mirror with his eyebrows furrowed, and said to Leng Guqing: "Oh no! Senior brother come and see." ”

Leng Guqing hurriedly got up and walked over, and saw that the bronze mirror was full of skeletons, the corpses of birds and beasts were everywhere, the trees and flowers on the hillside had long since dried up and withered, the red river was like rushing blood, the black fog in the sky blocked the sun's brilliance, the whole valley was gloomy, and the world in the mirror was as terrifying as hell.

Leng Guqing exclaimed: "The originally picturesque Changle Valley has turned into such a desolate Death Valley, there must be a demon with advanced spells there. ”

Yun Yan nodded: "Yes, just now I saw on the surface of the lake that there was a silver star in the Demon Realm Starry Sky that was much brighter than before, but several stars around it were gone. ”

Leng Guqing thought for a moment and said, "Could there be such a strange thing......?" Could it be that there are demons practicing evil arts?"

"Senior brother means that there are demons eating other little goblins and absorbing their primordial spirits to quickly improve their mana?"

"I guess it must be like this, otherwise how could the stars around that demon star suddenly disappear?"

Yun Yan nodded slightly: "No wonder that demon star will become bigger and brighter in just a few days, it turns out that it has eaten a few stars around it." ”

"I don't know where this demon came from, what is the intention of cultivating such an evil art, we have to send a disciple to investigate it quickly. ”

"Senior brother is right, without further ado, I'll arrange it. Yun Yan got up and flew away before he finished speaking.

Venerable Beixuan and Tianxue sat on the side, hearing the words of the two gods clearly.

Bei Xuan got up and walked to Leng Guqing's side, frowned and thought: "Uncle Shi, Changle Valley is located in the immortal, demon, and mortal worlds, at the junction of the three worlds, that demon is entrenched in Changle Valley to do evil, is it trying to harm the world or invade our immortal world, this demon is not afraid that it will be an endless disaster." ”

"What the virtuous nephew said is exactly what the teacher thinks!"

"Uncle Shi, the apprentice is willing to take people to Changle Valley to eliminate demons, and hope that Uncle Shi will be perfect. ”

"Okay, tomorrow you and the pine, willow, bamboo, peach, and the four earth immortals will transform into mortal appearances, take the magic weapon and fly to Changle Valley together, you must be careful when you get there, and try not to have a head-on conflict with the monster before you know the details of it. ”

"The apprentice understands that he will not take matters into his own hands if he is not sure of a decisive victory. ”

"Okay, you go and inform the four earth immortals now, let them prepare well, and fly to Changle Valley before noon tomorrow. ”

"Bei Xuan obeys his orders! Go to the Six Spirits Palace now to find the four Earth Immortals. ”

"Go ahead, remember to be careful when you are a teacher. ”

Venerable Beixuan jumped up and left the Star Lake.

Only Leng Guqing and Tianxue were left on the boat, as well as the baby girl in her arms. The baby girl was still asleep, and Tianxue put the baby girl in the cabin, got up and walked to the bow of the boat.

Tianxue saw that the master was upset and didn't know how to comfort him, so she asked in a low voice: "Master, is the evil art cultivated by that demon very powerful?

"Yes, if an ordinary goblin wants to cultivate into an immortal, it will take more than 10,000 years at the shortest, but if he relies on absorbing other people's primordial spirits to cultivate, he may be able to become an immortal in a few hundred years. ”

"Isn't this opportunistic? Isn't it punished by heaven to do so?"

Leng Guqing touched Tianxue's head and comforted her: "Xue'er, you are still young, don't think about these troubles, there is a master by your side, and the teacher will protect you if there is danger, you just need to practice the Six Magic Orders with peace of mind." ”

Tianxue was very touched by the master's gentleness, and unconsciously leaned her head on his shoulder and said: "Xue'er doesn't want to go home to visit relatives, I want to finish learning the Six Magic Orders as soon as possible to improve my mana and cultivation, Xue'er doesn't want to trouble the master to protect herself, Xue'er wants to protect herself, and she has to protect Caiyun Mountain for the master." ”

Leng Guqing didn't push Tianxue away, let her lean on, in his eyes Tianxue was still a child, his little apprentice, and like his daughter, he needed his protection, he was willing to give her his shoulder to rely on.

After a long period of silence, Leng Guqing pushed Tianxue away and said, "Xue'er, let's go downstairs with the teacher." We have been here for a long time, here is the same as the star upstairs, every day will pass a year in the world, the time is not early, we don't go downstairs, your uncle will be in a hurry. ”

"Xiaolian hasn't woken up and slept in the cabin, I'll go pick her up. ”

Tianxue turned around and walked into the cabin, and when she came out of the cabin with the baby girl in her arms, she saw Leng Guqing take out a paper crane from her sleeve, he threw the paper crane into the air, and the paper crane instantly turned into a real crane with wings spreading. The feathers on the crane's body were white and flawless, its golden claws were shining, and the round horns on its head were as red as blood, and it flew in the air and chirped at Leng Lonely.

Tianxue was surprised to find that this flying crane was exactly the same as the crane that Xiao Fei had conjured that day.

"Xue'er, you must be tired of holding the baby just now, let the teacher hold the baby for a while. ”

Tianxue glanced at Leng Guqing gratefully and did not refuse his request.

Leng Guqing took the baby girl, held the baby girl with one hand and pulled Tianxue with the other, flew on the crane's back, sat cross-legged, and the crane carried the three of them to fly downstairs to enjoy the clouds.

In the boundless sea of clouds, on the crane's back, Tianxue leaned on the master's shoulder and said: "Master, Xue'er remembers that day I went to the ancestral hall to worship the three gods, and when I went back to the Wind Palace, Xiao Fei, the protector of the ancestral hall, also conjured a heavenly crane, and took the crane to send me back to the Wind Palace." The crane he conjured up was exactly the same as the crane that the master conjured, did the master teach him? Xue'er also wants to learn, so the master will teach me. ”

Leng Guqing smiled and nodded: "Okay! ”

His hand stopped Tianxue's shoulder, and he took her to fly away from the crane's back and silently recited the mantra to withdraw the spell, and the crane under his feet suddenly turned into a paper crane again. He lightly drew a few times on Tianxue's palm, and a strange-shaped handprint shone in Tianxue's hand.

Tianxue raised her right hand and slammed into the paper crane in the air, and the paper crane instantly turned back into a real crane with wings spreading.

Leng Guqing looked at her with a smile and said, "Xue'er is so smart, she will be able to learn it as soon as she learns." ”

Tianxue and the master looked at each other and said, "It was the master who taught it well, and Xue'er remembered this handprint." ”
