The next morning.

Li Changan went to Taiyuan Pavilion first, and after asking Ouyang Qian about Qu Lanling's temporary residence, he went to Xuantian Pavilion alone.

The land where Xuantian Pavilion is located is the largest land in the nine lands, and its volume is several times that of other flying lands, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is headed by Xuantian Pavilion, and the nine pieces of land are also centered on the land where Xuantian Pavilion is located, showing a circular trajectory and turning, unchanged over the years.

In the past few days, many monks of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect who have traveled and cultivated outside all the year round have returned to the sect to welcome this once-in-a-century sword ceremony; there are many people in the Xuantian Pavilion, and the rooms in the Xuantian Pavilion have already been filled, and at this time, the monks who come to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect to observe the ceremony, their residences can only be divided into other pavilions.

Xuantian Pavilion, the gate where people come and go......

A young monk who looked about 20 years old suddenly caught a glimpse of an acquaintance he hadn't seen for many years at the busy gate, and he immediately ran over and greeted, "Uncle Xiaokang!

The monk surnamed Xie Xiaokang, with a middle-aged appearance, has a slanted scar on the right side of his face, he heard someone shouting to himself, looked back, and after seeing who it was, the monk who had left the sect for twenty years smiled with relief, "I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Jiu, your cultivation has become more and more profound!"

Ah Jiu looked at Xie Xiaokang, who was decadent and much older, and said with some feelings: "All these years, uncle, have you been okay?"

Xie Xiaokang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's good or not, life is a big dream of nothing, Shaohua is white, but it's just a moment." Only the way of heaven is constant, reciprocating and unchanging. ”

Hearing this, Ah Jiu said bitterly: "In the days when you are away, when the senior brother is confused, he often talks about you to us... Moreover, the brothers and sisters miss you very much. ”

Xie Xiaokang walked over and put his arm around Ah Jiu's shoulder, "Let's go!" ”

Ah Jiu nodded and said, "Hmm!"

These two people are both monks of Xuantian Pavilion, and Ah Jiu is Xie Xiaokang's nephew.

And Xie Xiaokang is Chen Tianyuan's second junior brother, he is also the second apprentice of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect Sect Master Tianjizi, this person's prestige in Xuantian Pavilion is extremely high, second only to Tianjizi and Chen Tianyuan.

The scar on Xie Xiaokang's face was scratched by someone in that battle of Saibei; he was one of the dozens of people who were lucky enough to come back alive in that tragic battle; although Xie Xiaokang returned to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect alive, he was damaged in that battle, so he left the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and traveled abroad.

On the side of the gate of Xuantian Pavilion, the greetings of one after another were endless......

A young monk greeted excitedly: "Isn't this Uncle He! When did you come back?"

There is a good-looking junior sister, who complained to the returning senior brother: "Senior Brother Liu, why don't you send a flying talisman to tell me when you return to the sect, if the master didn't tell me that you came back from the Sword Tower, I wouldn't know;

There was an old monk's voice to say goodbye to his old friend: "Senior Brother Ma hasn't seen him for many years, this time we have to get drunk and rest!"

There was also a junior sister's inquiry to the senior brother: "Third senior brother, when you left the sect, you promised me the rouge, can you bring it?"

There are also old friends who ridicule old friends: "When you go out, why are your skin so tanned? You look like this, I'm worried about whether you can find a Taoist partner!"

Also, the lover who has not seen each other for many years said plainly: "The master asked me to take you home, and, all these years... I miss you so much..."

In the past few days, such a picture often appears in the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, and many monks who have been away all the year round have returned to the sect, because the return of these monks has brought this sect that was greatly injured in the battle of Saibei back to life.

In addition to the return of the traveling monks of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, there were also monks from many other sects who came to the appointment, and the entire Han Dynasty was surging, and the monks from all over the world gathered in this sect outside the lonely pass.

Li Changan passed through the gate of Xuantian Pavilion, and the imperial sword flew towards the house where Qu Lanling was located.

The houses in Xuantian Pavilion were intricate, and although there was Ouyang Qian's guidance, Li Changan also searched for half an hour before he found Qu Lanling's room.

Li Changan stood at the door and knocked lightly.

"Who?" asked a woman from the courtyard.

"It's me. ”

"Who are you?" asked the man in the courtyard again.

Li Changan scratched his head, the voice in the courtyard was obviously not from Qu Lanling; he thought in his heart: "Is it the wrong place?" He looked sideways at the door number, it was Jia Ninety-seven, that's right! Li Changan muttered to himself: "Could it be that Sister Ouyang said something wrong?"

Li Changan didn't want to go back to Ouyang Qian to confirm, so he asked the courtyard: "Ouyang Qian of the Extreme Yang Sect, but here, my name is Li Changan, and I am her friend." ”

The woman in the courtyard let out an "oh" and said, "She lives here, you wait, I'll open the door for you." ”

The one who opened the door was a girl in a scholar's robe, she should be about the same age as Qu Lanling, both seventeen or eighteen years old.

Li Changan asked, "Are you Qu Lanling's fellow disciple?"

"No!" The young-looking girl shook her head and said, "My name is Ye Xiaochun, and I am from Qingli Academy. ”

Qingli Academy is also one of the eight major sects, the monks of this sect regard themselves as Confucian scholars, and cultivate the Haoran Qi of Heaven and Earth, which is the most bizarre sect in the Han Kingdom.

The monks of Qingli Academy are open-minded, emphasizing the moral cultivation of a gentleman, emphasizing the complementarity of benevolence and propriety, attaching importance to Wulun and family ethics, advocating education and benevolence, lightly dispensing with modest endowments, trying to rebuild the order of etiquette and music, changing customs, and protecting the country and the people.

After Ye Xiaochun opened the door for Li Changan, he trotted two steps and shouted to the house on the right: "Miss Qu, someone is looking for you." ”

The room is a courtyard house, and there are a total of three houses in the courtyard, and not long after Ye Xiaochun's words were spoken, two women holding hands walked out of the house on the right.

A slender figure, white clothes and black hair, cold and clear, seems to be able to see through everything, ten fingers are slender, skin is like clotted fat, snow white is pink, long hair hangs straight down the ankles, and has a fairy-like temperament.

The other was dressed in a fiery red robe, looking petite and lovely, with a slender waist and slender limbs, under the thick eyelashes, a pair of big watery eyes, touching and lovable, with slightly long bangs just reaching the eyebrows, half of the blue hair coiled up, leaving a few strands of blue silk in front of the ears.

The woman in white said to Li Changan: "You told me last year that you could go to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect to find you, why do you seem to be a little unhappy when you see me now?"

Li Changan listened to the woman in white and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I was shocked, not unhappy. ”

"What are you shocked?" asked the woman in white.

"It's just, it's shocking how you live here. ”

Li Yu glanced at Li Changan and said, "Because there are relatively few female monks here, there are only one or two in a sect, and if the female monks of a sect occupy a house, there will be many more vacant rooms, so we can only make up a number." ”

Li Yu asked Li Changan: "By the way, what are you doing here?"

Li Changan couldn't say that he was here to explain yesterday's events to Qu Lanling, he could only say haha: "I haven't seen you this year, your cultivation has improved a lot!"

Seeing that Li Changan was reluctant to say, Li Yu didn't continue to ask, but teased: "I can compare with you, I was already in the middle stage of foundation building a year ago, and now I am at the peak of the peak cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building; ”

Qu Lanling was a little happy when he saw Li Changan coming to him, but he didn't want to show it in front of his friends, listening to the conversation between Li Changan and Li Yu, it seemed that the two had met a year ago, so he asked, "Brother Chang'an has met Sister Li Yu before?"

Li Yu let go of Qu Lanling's hand and said, "When I went on a mission a year ago, I happened to meet him. ”

Li Changan looked at the two of them and asked curiously, "How did you two meet?"

Qu Lanling explained to Li Chang'an: "My exercises are not suitable for cultivation in the Extreme Yang Sect, so I went to the Lotus Peak of the Canglong Sect a year ago, and Sister Li Yu has been very good to me and has always taken care of me. ”

......

Ye Xiaochun looked at the three people who spoke, and couldn't interject, and when she saw that the three of them were finally a little cold, she asked, "Didn't Miss Li say yesterday that she was going to go shopping together, when will we leave?"

The friendship between women is very strange, Li Yu has been living in the palace since she was a child, so she has few friends, she is cold by nature, she became friends with Qu Lanling for some reason, and Li Yu also likes this Ye Xiaochun from Qingli Academy, who is usually serious, so she plans to make Ye Xiaochun a friend.

Li Yu is not stingy with a smile on the person she likes, she smiled at Ye Xiaochun and said, "I am not very familiar with the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, it just so happens that this Prince Li is here, let's let him lead the way." ”

Hearing the words "Li Wangye", Li Changan said helplessly: "You still call my name." ”

"Yes. Li Yu nodded, "Then don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Although Li Changan had been in the Nine Heavens Sword Sect for more than two years, when he was in the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, he spent most of his time in retreat and cultivation and rarely went out, so he didn't know many people and places he had visited.

Li Changan recalled the places he had visited, except for the sword mound of the Sword Casting Pavilion, there was only the sword tower of the Sword Pavilion; the sword mound was a forbidden place for the sect, so naturally he couldn't bring three people over, so he asked the three of them: "Have you ever been to see the sword tower?"

All three women shook their heads.

On the way to the Sword Tower, Li Changan was familiar with it, and he patted his thigh and said, "Then let's go to the Sword Pavilion! There is a very high Sword Tower there, I'll take you to see it." ”
