Chapter 21: Iris Canyon

The cliff is steep and uneven, and if you are not careful, you will fall down, and if you are not protected by spiritual power, you will definitely be crushed if you fall down.

This is a vertical and steep cliff, just climbed less than halfway, Xingluo began to feel weak in his hands, the previous misty sea morning run, although the time was a little longer, but he was able to persevere, but this time it was different, once he had half a point of mental relaxation, what was waiting for him would be the consequence of falling straight into the valley.

Mo Wanchen, who was standing at the bottom of the cliff, was not at all easy at this moment, he was even ready, if Xingluo accidentally fell, he had to rush up to pick him up as soon as possible.

After Xingluo glanced back at Mo Wanchen under his feet, he continued to grit his teeth and insisted on climbing up, the appearance of the long vine was very rough, and in less than half a burnt incense time, many small blisters appeared on Xingluo's fine-skinned and tender hands.

The closer to the top of the mountain, the smoother the cliff became, and Xingluo's legs could not find a place to relay, so they could only completely attach themselves to the long vine.

The body is getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of breathing is getting heavier and heavier, Xingluo leaned against the cliff and panted hard, what to do, he couldn't use his strength at all, and there was still a distance of about fifteen zhang from the top of the mountain, although this time Mo Wanchen did not seal his cultivation, but until the last resort, Xingluo still wanted to complete this training with his own efforts.

I barely crawled forward for two feet, and there were already blood stains oozing from my fingers, and my fingers hurt my heart. Just as Xingluo was about to slow down on the spot, the sole of his right foot suddenly slipped, and his whole body fell down violently.

At the last moment, Xingluo's hands conjured up countless snow cherry blossoms at the same time, and the petals converged into countless flower vines, and then quickly held Xingluo firmly in mid-air.

The whole process was just a snap of his fingers, but it scared Xingluo out of a cold sweat, he clung to those flowers and vines, and didn't dare to move anymore.

"Xiao Luo, are you okay?" Mo Wanchen appeared next to Xingluo and said, his whole face turned white with fright, until he saw that Xingluo was safe, he was relieved.

"This training is much more difficult than running in the morning......" Xingluo smiled bitterly.

After resting for about half a cup of tea, Xingluo continued to return to the cliff, and the blood spirit grass that Mo Wanchen gave him made the wound in his palm heal quickly, but the training did not end there, for the sake of insurance, Mo Wanchen decided to follow Xingluo all the way.

After a meal, the master and apprentice had climbed to the top of the mountain, the breeze was coming, Xingluo's mood gradually calmed down, the forest that had just shuttled through now looked like an emerald green earth, in the distance, there were some colorful clouds floating in the blue sky, these fantastic colors may only be seen in the illusion.

"Uncle, the owner of this iris canyon, has a word in his name that is the same as mine." Xingluo said as he stared at the valley in the distance.

"Oh? How do you know? Mo Wanchen asked curiously.

"On the way here just now, I saw many snow cherry trees, and there were many words carved on each tree, although I still don't understand the meaning, but I can know that it must be a certain girl who wrote to her lover's brother, and the lover's brother's name also has the word "Luo" in it."

After listening to Xingluo's words, Mo Wanchen was stunned for a moment, he chased after Xingluo all the way, and didn't see the snow cherry tree he said, but what this kid said was well-founded, and it didn't look like it was fake.

"Tell me, then, what did you see?" Mo Wanchen asked.

Xingluo thought for a while and said, "Well, I remember that there is a sentence that is, lovesickness is deep, and it is difficult to write on a blank sheet of paper, uncle, you say, this girl misses her lover so much, why don't you go to see him?" ”

Mo Wanchen smiled, "At a young age, do you know what lovesickness means?" When you grow up and meet the girl you like, you can figure out the meaning of this sentence. ”

"I already have a girl I like." Xingluo hurriedly said:

"You can't be talking about the girl named Kaoru'er, right?"

"Yes, it's her, in my heart, she is the same as my roommates, they are all my inseparable good partners."

Mo Wanchen couldn't help laughing after hearing this, a child is a child after all, after laughing, he squatted down and gently stroked Xingluo's hair, and said: "You and her are good friends and partners at best, and when you really meet someone who can make you willing to give up your life to protect in the future, you will know what true love is." ”

"Is it like the love that dad does for mommy?" Xingluo asked.

Mo Wanchen nodded, "Your parents and husband are more affectionate, and their love is stronger than Jin, and it is not something that she can easily pry into with Zhong Wuyan, so you have to believe in your father, even if Zhong Wuyan has always stayed by his side, in his heart, she will always be just his beloved apprentice, and it is impossible for her to take your mother's place." ”

With Mo Wanchen's words, Xingluo was even more relieved, "Uncle, I understand." ”

"Well, alright, it's not too early, let's hurry down the mountain!"

The road back was equally steep, with cliffs on both sides, and the stone steps were uneven, and it took the two of them a stick of incense to return from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff.

Returning to the forest, Xingluo smelled the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes from a distance, and he ran into the forest without saying a word.

Looking at Xingluo's back, Mo Wanchen just smiled slightly.

After a full meal, the master and apprentice returned to Diling Academy, Xingluo's partners had just gotten up, because of the competition, the academy was temporarily suspended for three days, and these children naturally slept as late as they wanted.

Seeing Xingluo coming back from outside, a sleepy light tea dragged him to the front, "Xiao Luo, did you not return all night last night?" Honestly, where did a person go? ”

Xingluo didn't dodge either, and let Qingming pull him, "What's the matter, what's wrong, I was dragged to ask Teacher Xing early in the morning, I have been with Teacher Mo since yesterday afternoon, I don't believe you can ask him." ”

Qing Ming stared at him for a long time before he said, "Are you really just with Teacher Mo?" ”

"Otherwise, where else do you think I can go?"

"I heard that Kaoru didn't return last night, and her roommates came downstairs early in the morning to ask if we had seen her, I thought you two were together."

"What did you say?" Xingluo was stunned for a moment, "You said that Xun'er didn't return all night yesterday?" ”

"Well, no one knows where she went, and her roommates searched the entire academy and didn't see her."

As he was talking, the door of the 208 school building was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came was Xinyi, "Xiao Luo, you come out for a while." ”

Xingluo nodded, and from Xinyi's complicated expression, he felt as if something was wrong.

Coming to the door, Xin Yi also spread a layer of soundproof barriers around the two of them, and then said seriously: "Xiao Luo, something may have happened to the Thousand Spirit Clan Royal City, just now Prince Wanchen and Prince Huaiyu came to me at the same time, let me take care of you for them." ”

"What's going on?" Xingluo hurriedly asked.

"Listen to what Prince Wanchen meant, it means that two of the ultimate sword gods of the Thousand Shadows Clan disappeared in the Thousand Spirits Clan yesterday, and now the King of the Thousand Shadows Clan has personally come to the Thousand Spirits Clan to ask for someone, and before I came to look for you, he and Prince Huaiyu had already rushed back first."

The disappearance of the two ultimate sword gods? Xingluo was stunned for a moment, the first thing he thought of was the spiritual power stone he brought back yesterday, whether their disappearance would have something to do with this spiritual power stone.

"Xiao Luo, before Prince Wanchen comes back, you can stay with me for the time being, Prince Huaiyu just left his eldest disciple Wuyan Sword God behind, and said let the two of us take care of you together." The letter continued.

Xingluo nodded nonchalantly.

The competition was still going on as usual, and Xingluo turned over the inside and outside of Diling Academy, but he didn't find any trace of Qianxun'er.

His father and uncle were gone, and Kaoru was missing, and Xingluo's heart suddenly seemed to be hollowed out.

In the morning, the five promoted academies were in the last team battle, and the draw results of the third round of the competition came out soon, Diling College vs. Beihai College; Tianhe Academy played against Dongli Academy, and Kongming Academy was byed in this game and will directly advance to the individual poke competition in the afternoon.

There was still a lot of cheer outside the game, only Xingluo was worried at the moment, it didn't matter to him who won or lost, what he was worried about at this time was his relatives who were far away in the Thousand Spirit Clan's royal city.

The four partners also saw Xingluo's worries early on, although Xingluo only told them lightly that something happened in his family, but the attentive partners could still see from his expression that there was more than a little trouble in Xingluo's family.

The third chopping competition ended in only two pillars of incense, and the final promoted academies were: Diling Academy, Dongli Academy and Kongming Academy, according to the rules of the competition, the dueling match in the afternoon will be in a one-on-one format, and the winning academy will each send two disciples to participate.

It didn't take long for the information of the six participating disciples to be handed over to Xin Yi one after another, they were:

An Yuxuan of Diling Academy, 15 years old, cultivated: Seventh-level Yuan Ling

Baili Muchen of Diling Academy: 15 years old, cultivated: sixth-level Yuan Ling

Feng Ji of Kongming Academy, 15 years old, cultivated: Sixth-level Yuan Ling

Kongming Academy Allure, 14 years old, cultivated: fifth-level Yuan Ling

Yan Yang of Dongli Academy, 15 years old, cultivated: Level 5 Yuan Ling

Huayan of Dongli Academy, 15 years old, cultivated: fifth-level Yuan Ling

Xin Yi only glanced at the list, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

There are still a few hours before the final match in the afternoon, and An Yuxuan and Baili Muchen have already made an appointment to go to Mochiyue Xuan to practice swords together.

Qingming wanted to follow An Yuxuan to Mochiyue Xuan, but she was too embarrassed to go alone, and under the stubborn fighting, she finally moved the other four people in the 208 school building.

Wangyue Xuan is the same as Chenxi Academy, it is a place for Diling students to study and practice daily, walking into Wangyue Xuan, the first thing that catches your eye is more than a dozen large and small buildings, each building has an elegant name, such as: "Yixian Garden", "Zhuqing Pavilion", "Listening to Yuxuan" and so on, these buildings are basically the places where teachers teach, in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, there are also four spacious cultivation grounds, each cultivation ground is much larger than the cultivation ground of Chenxi Academy.

"Look, the treatment of the senior brothers and sisters is different from ours, we only have one cultivation ground in Chenxi Academy, and there are four in Mochiyue Xuan!" Qing Ming said with an expression of envy and jealousy.

"Dead fatty, what's there to be jealous of, in another three or four years, we can also come here to study." Si Cheng followed behind Qingming and answered.

Qingming turned around and rolled his eyes at Si Cheng, "Who said I was jealous, I just sighed, sighed, do you understand?" ”

"Hey, you two really don't feel comfortable if you don't lift the bar for a day......" Rong Yu on the side shook his head and said.

"Xiao Yu, who wants to raise the bar with him, obviously he came to scold me first, don't you wronged a good person." Qing Ming pretended to look at Rong Yu with an innocent face.

"I'm too lazy to care about you, I have that spare time, it's better to learn more from Xiaoluo, our 208 school building, he is the most diligent, he goes out early and returns late every day, which is like a few of us, and he knows how to eat and sleep all day long!"

Qing Ming glanced at Xing Luo, who was walking on the far right, he kept his head down and didn't speak, Qing Ming was about to step forward and ask again, but was pulled back by Rong Yu, "Xiao Luo's family must have something very wrong, that's why he will be depressed all day, don't go and block him." ”

"Is there anything he can't tell us? Maybe we'll be able to figure it out for him. ”

"It's not the first day we've known him, he never cultivates with us, and he never tells us what he's doing every day, so if you just run around and ask him about his family, I can guarantee that he won't tell you anything."

Qingming shrugged his shoulders and said to himself, "Then let's just say nothing." ”
