The morning sun leaps out of the sky and drives away the night.

The glow full of vigorous atmosphere is reflected on Qingyang Mountain, making the mountains of Qingyang Mountain hazy in a brilliant golden sunshine.

A silvertail pine climbed up the steep cliff of Luoxia Peak until it reached the top of the mountain, where there was a young man who sat cross-legged on a small platform with his eyes closed, and a blue knife hung beside him.

Gino Matsu looked happy to see the young man who was sitting quietly and climbed onto his shoulder.

The boy is none other than Su Yuan.

He had been meditating here for ten days, feeling the qi of heaven and earth.

Su Yuan hugged the silver tail pine in his arms, but immediately remembered that the silver tail pine called the little tail was a "girl", and felt that it was not appropriate to hold it, so he put it on his knees and gently rubbed its head, the silver tail pine was not as naughty as before, and sat quietly, looking a little sad, it looked at Su Yuan fixedly, and a slight whimper sounded in its mouth, as if it was telling that the girl like Caixia abandoned it, which made it very sad.

Su Yuan rubbed its ears and said, "She just went to a far place, although I don't know where she went, but I will go to find her, and I will definitely find her." ”

The little tail seemed to understand Su Yuan's words, and his two paws grabbed Su Yuan tightly, looking at Su Yuan with a cute gaze.

Su Yuan frowned and objected: "No, I can't take you there, even if I don't like to be teased with a worm that has neither combat power nor good looks, I have to take care of the dangerous and unpredictable outside world, wouldn't it be an obstacle to bring you?"

The little tail danced for a while, as if he was very dissatisfied with Su Yuan's words.

Su Yuan pretended to be angry, "Absolutely not." ”

The little tail circled around him, refusing to give up.

Su Yuan grabbed its head and lifted it up in front of him, "When I find Liufeng Yueling, tell her that you miss her very much, and at that time, I don't care if she wants you or not." ”

Silvertail stopped struggling and nodded.

Su Yuan held it in his arms, as if saying goodbye, and as if looking for the breath that the girl had left on it, and finally, Su Yuan put it down with some reluctance, stood up and stopped at it, "You will have to take care of yourself in the future, I don't know when I will come back, you have to be good then, if I can't see you, I will be very sad, and she will be sad." ”

After speaking, Su Yuan waved his hand at it again and swept down the mountain.

In front of a small building in Bifeng, there were three teenagers sitting in front of the door, it was Pang Jing, Xilan and Yuanxi.

Pang Jing said: "Where did you say that guy would go, I haven't seen anyone for several days." ”

Yuan Xi said: "But it's not just a few days, he didn't see anyone after the end of the martial arts with you that day, we haven't seen him in so many places, although he occasionally disappears for a while, but I know that seven days have passed since the end of the sect competition, and in three days, the time to travel down the mountain will end, and you can't go down the mountain without permission, you have to wait for the next sect competition in two years." ”

"No, I'll look for him again. Pang Jing stood up.

Yuanxi grabbed Pang Jing, "But in the past few days, we have also found a lot of places and have not seen any other figure, and Qingyang Mountain is so big, we can't find it like this, I'm afraid that if he comes back, you will no longer be good, then wouldn't it." ”

Xilan also nodded, "Let's wait." ”

Xi Lan leaned against the door, squinting his eyes to enjoy the warmth of the sun shining on his body, he chuckled lightly, and said leisurely: "Pang Jing, we have known each other for four years, but we never knew that you still hid your strength, if it wasn't for the fifth place in this sect competition, we would still be in the dark?"

Yuan Xi turned over, looked Pang Jing up and down, and echoed: "Yes, everyone originally thought that Su Yuan would be the most unexpected disciple in this competition, but I didn't expect it to be you, do you know that at that time, even the five elders in the stands were dumbfounded, in my opinion, if you weren't too seriously injured before the competition with Feng Yu, the outcome of that game would be unpredictable." “

Pang Jing was stunned for a moment, "It's not that I deliberately hid my strength before, I also happened to stimulate the power of the bloodline not long ago, and I didn't know how my strength would change at that time, but well, it seems to ...... Pretty strong. ”

"The power of the bloodline?can make such a big leap in your strength, you can't be the royal bloodline, right?" Yuan Xi quipped.

Xi Lan also stared at Pang Jing.

Pang Jing's eyes were a little cold, "I don't have such a noble bloodline, it's just that my martial arts and bloodline just match." ”

Pang Jing didn't seem to want to say more, looking up at the sky, his gaze became distant, there was a faint layer of blood red in front of his eyes, and the golden sunlight shrouded his face, covering up the bitterness on his face.

Su Yuan swept over from a distance, and the other three people in front of the small building he saw were stunned for a moment.

The three teenagers also greeted him one after another, asking him where he had been these days.

Su Yuan knew that the sect competition had already ended, and smiled apologetically, and as for his whereabouts, he found some excuses to prevaricate in the past, although the other three people did not believe it, but people would be more serious with him, but urged him to go to Kunfeng to obtain the certificate of the lower journey.

Traveling down the mountain from Qingyang Temple requires obtaining a certificate from the sect, which can be regarded as a disciple recognized by Qingyang Academy, and Qingyang Academy will not restrict the time of travel, even if it is said that you can leave Qingyang Temple from now on, you can also return, but for most disciples, there is no need to return to the sect after traveling. If you don't have a certificate, you will be regarded as going down the mountain without permission, and you will be expelled from the sect and never become a disciple again. Before obtaining the certificate, you need to go to each peak to record it, and it will not be completed in a while, so the three of them are so anxious, Su Yuan also knew that he could not delay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the three of them, and left non-stop.

On the ladder to heaven, Tang Chuan stood on the small stone that was polished by the rain, the wind, the sun, and his footsteps, and after walking into this stone, it seemed that he had entered another world, the wind blew through, the sun sprinkled down, all passed through Tang Chuan's body, as if he did not exist, but he really stood there.

He stood there expressionless, looking out, as if he were looking forward to something.

Under the ladder of Babel, a young man climbed the stairs, not in a hurry, step by step, 18,000 steps have left his footprints, he can no longer remember how many times he walked through this staircase, but only now, for the first time, he really felt the magnificence of the ladder, just like its name shocked him.

The young man finally walked to the end of the ladder to heaven, and knelt down to Tang Chuan on the smooth stone and said, "Disciple Su Yuan, meet the master." ”

Tang Chuan didn't seem to hear the boy's words, and still looked at the sky from afar.

Su Yuan didn't move, and kept kneeling on the ground.

Time passed in a hurry, and Tang Chuan finally retracted his gaze, "Get up." ”

Su Yuan stood up.

Tang Chuan said, "Come here." ”

Su Yuan walked into the small stone, and also into the vast and majestic, but at the same time lonely and empty world.

The two fell silent again.

Time flows slowly.

Tang Chuan asked, "Do you see that?"

Su Yuan replied: "I saw a little." ”

"Good. ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

"You'll see it sooner or later, this time it's just for you to see it sooner, but how much you can get depends on your comprehension. ”

"The disciple understands. ”

"Do you know why I let you go down the mountain?"

"Shizun wants his disciples to get more training outside. ”

"I not only let you hone your martial arts, but also hope to hone your state of mind, the realm of martial arts can be slowly improved, but the state of mind can not be cyclically gradual, and only your state of mind is broader, can your martial arts grow rapidly. The outside world is no better than the sect, although there will be some unsightly things in the sect, but compared to the cruelty outside, it is not worth mentioning, you have to remember that outside, losing is likely to be death, so no matter at any time, you can't easily admit defeat. But no one will never lose, in the face of failure, but you just need to make a choice, whether to choose not to bow to fate, or willing to shake hands with the world, everyone has the right to choose, all choices are just the order of interests, I hope you can follow the choice of your heart, although not necessarily recognized by the world, but it is the least regret yourself. “

"The disciples follow the teachings. ”

"Let's go. ”

"Yes, the disciple will come back. ”

"It doesn't matter if you come back or not, it's important that you keep in mind your inner choice. ”

Su Yuan knelt down again and left the ladder to heaven.

Tang Chuan sighed, looking a little lonely.

Two days later, Su Yuan, Pang Jing, and Xilan stood in front of the mountain gate down the mountain, and walked out of this gate, even if they were out of Qingyang Courtyard, Su Yuan remembered that he had bid farewell to Qin Luo here, although the intersection between the two was only a short moment, but Qin Luo gave him a sword called "Burning Love", although he could not really appreciate the true artistic conception of this sword. He remembered that four years ago, Guan Bo and he traveled thousands of miles from Xuemian City to the prosperous imperial capital, to this majestic and huge Qingyang Mountain Range, and it was at this gate that Guan Bo sent him in. And now, the once carefree boy has grown up year by year, and his heart has more sorrow and reluctance, and he is about to walk out of this door and walk out with the two friends who support each other beside him.

The three teenagers froze in front of the mountain gate for a moment, let out a long breath, and walked out together.

A voice came from behind him, "Will you ever come back?"

Yuan Xi waved and shouted on the other side of the mountain gate, and there was another person beside him, it was Fang Ze.

The three teenagers glanced at each other, their eyes intertwined with complicated gazes, and none of them spoke, perhaps they didn't know how to answer.

Yuan Xi smiled: "You must take care. ”

This time, the three teenagers smiled and nodded at each other.
