Everyone went down the mountain and gathered in the square, and for a while the sound of spells and weapons rang out.

Xing Mo felt fresh when he saw everyone, and couldn't help but look around with his eyes wide open, and his handsome figure was very conspicuous in the crowd.

He held a long sword with a cold light, and I saw him gently open and close the corners of his mouth, and quickly silently recite a series of incantations. The whole person swung up the clouds, different from the past, at this time he did not use the cloud technique, but used the wind control technique. I saw that his white clothes were fluttering lightly, flying sideways for four or five battles, and swimming in the air with a sword in his right hand.

There was no hesitation or sluggishness in his movements, and the thumb and forefinger of his left hand were placed in his mouth, and a crisp whistle floated out of his mouth. A moment later, in the milky white clouds in the distant sky, three or two cranes chirped. The sound is clear, piercing the sky.

Many disciples who had been practicing various spells on the ground were alarmed by the sound, stopped their movements, and also craned their necks to look into the air.

In the middle of the air where Numa Qinghao was, in addition to himself, there were also several disciples with higher cultivation who rode the clouds and floated in the air, and they were all looking over there with interest at this time.

He is like a flying fairy on the mural, and his clothes are flying. From far and near, the two cranes waved their wings half a human high, and swam towards the swamp Qinghao with the ethereal clouds and smoke in the distance.

One man and two cranes stopped in the sky, and Marsh Qingmao turned around, holding a sword above his head in both hands, and swam between the two cranes in the shape of a shuttle.

Ting Ruo couldn't help but applaud: "Haha...... Senior brother is teasing those two cranes, I don't think the two of them are as fast as him. ”

Gu Shuling was originally standing next to the lectern at the end of Yuanqingguan Square, and when she saw this scene, she was so excited that she couldn't bear it, and she was also anxious to pinch.

She has always admired Nua Qingmiao, and in the Yuan Qingguan, only Nuan Qingmiao's appearance and temperament are worthy of making friends with her. As for the others, they are just stupid people, and they don't bother to make friends with them at all.

She stood with her hands folded in front of her chest, and her whole person slowly soared into the air with the breeze that was slightly gathered by herself. Her actions were originally amazed by the side of the crowd.

"Is that Gu Shuling over there?" someone in the crowd asked.

"I've already learned the Wind Fighting Technique, and it seems that the Cloud Soaring Technique is no longer useful. "The wind is faster and more comfortable than the clouds.

Someone answered: "It's Gu Shuling." Unexpectedly, she had only been in Yuanqingguan for a few years, and she had already learned the art of resisting the wind. It's no wonder Cui Xianzun likes her so much. ”

I saw Gu Shuling's eyes sparkle slightly, and her figure was still standing in mid-air. is even more stable than a few people in Tengyun, which shows that she has good strength.

She stretched out a hand in the direction of Numa Kiyomi, and a gorgeous smile crossed the corner of her mouth. Moving with the wind, fly to the swamp Qingmiao. Although she has only mastered the wind for a short time, she is not naïve at all, and although her proficiency in control is not as good as that of Numa Qingmiao, she has surpassed everyone else, which shows that her understanding is outstanding.

While carrying two cranes to swim and fly, Nuan Qingmiao saw Gu Shuling who was coming towards her, and seemed to understand that she also wanted to swim in the sky above Yuanqingguan with these two cranes. He slowed down and put away the long sword with cold light like waves in his right hand. His deep eyes looked at this highly qualified junior sister, and nodded at her as if encouraging.

Gu Shuling herself is a little arrogant, and she is also very smart. So in Yuan Qingguan, the only person she admires is Nua Qingmiao, who is a year or two younger than herself. I want to get close to him a lot of times.,But it's hard to be cold and don't like to talk.。 This time she was finally able to show her ability in front of him, and Gu Shuling was already happy in her heart. Unexpectedly, Marsh Qingmiao really responded to herself, so she became even more vigorous, and she looked more and more beautiful.

A moment later, Gu Shuling arrived in the air beside Nuan Qingmiao, and the two of them flew between the wings of the Danhe, which made everyone standing in the square envious. Gu Shuling changed her left and right hands to float in front of her chest, always maintaining her rhythm, and did not mess up the strength of her volley. Nuan Qingmiao also slowed down, allowing Gu Shuling to keep up with herself.

"Senior Brother Qingmao, I also recently learned to resist the wind, please advise me if there are any shortcomings. She slowly brushed aside the clouds and smoke floating in front of her, and her thin, elegant and sweet voice sounded.

Nug Qingmiao just turned around and smiled at her, "You have done a good job, you can see that you have extraordinary qualifications and are willing to work hard, and I don't blame Master Cui for taking you so seriously." ”

It was the first time that Gu Shuling had said so many words to Nuan Qingmiao, and she could hear the affirmation of herself in Nuan Qingmiao's words. I can't help but feel a little excited and shy in my heart, and my face is like a pear blossom dyed with rouge.

Closely following Nush Kiyomi, he flew away into the distance. In the eyes of everyone, there are only two beautiful and chic figures, as if these two people are destined to be immortals in the heavenly realm, just to come to Wufang Mountain Yuan Qingguan to shop.

In the corner under the pines and cypresses in the square, Cui Haoqing stood alone away from everyone, and looked up to see Gu Shuling's figure like everyone else.

Raising the corners of his mouth obliquely, without contempt and disdain, he sneered, and then turned into gray smoke and left Yuan Qingguan.

......

At night, the broken stars are spread out on the dark blue sky, and the reflection of the pines and cypresses under the moonlight sways gently.

In Lotus Immortal Gu's room, the candlelight was as bright as day.

Gu Shuling was brewing hot tea at the tea table, the milky white water vapor was steaming, hovering in front of Lotus Fairy Gu, and finally she ended her meditation and slowly raised her eyes to look at Gu Shuling.

"Your recent cultivation progress is not bad, and today Cui Xuanzhong has already explained the importance of the Immortal Festival. There's not much time, and besides, there will be new disciples the day after tomorrow, so you have to practice diligently......"

Gu Shuling nodded, "Grandma, I understand...... I only have five years to improve my cultivation and strength. There is only one winner of the Immortal Festival, which is really anxious.

One place can get a shortcut to immortal ascension. But at the moment, I am not the strongest disciple in the Yuan Qing Temple. ”

Immortal Lotus sighed slightly, "Many times, success or failure is not just as simple as doing one's best, it is more important to obey the destiny of heaven.

There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you can't force it. With these few years to go, who knows what will happen? Although you are a good student, and Cui Xuanzhong also appreciates your qualifications, it is enough for a good student to learn one or two of his stunts as the head of the earth immortals. ”

Gu Shuling nodded, said yes, and handed Lian Immortal Gu a cup of tea. The two drank tea and gossiped until midnight.

It was even deeper, and the wind in the mountains of Yuanqingguan in September was gradually rising, and there was already a slight chill in Ting Ruo and Xingmo's room.

The water that Ting Ruo had just drawn from the well in the courtyard was already boiling on the fire outside the house. Hearing the sound of water, Ting Ruo hurriedly went out and brought a large pot of boiling water to the big wooden barrel in the middle of the house, Xing Mo scooped the cold water that had just been filled in the small wooden bucket at his feet one by one, and together with Ting Ruo, mixed the cold and hot water and poured it into the large wooden barrel used by the two of them for bathing. In an instant, water vapor rushed up and filled the room.

In order to save time, Ting Ruo and Xing Mo no longer boil excess water, and take a bath together almost every night. And this time is the most relaxing time of the day for the two of them.

Xing Mo and Ting Ruo stepped into the barrel together, and the two sat opposite each other, the warm water vapor surrounding the two of them, condensing into droplets on their hair.

Ting Ruo slowly closed his eyes, "Although it is very difficult for me to improve my strength and cultivation now, when I first entered the Yuan Qingguan five years ago, I was also in the limelight. ”

Xing Mo nodded, "I understand, you told me about it before...... Your past qualifications are extraordinary. ”

"When I first stepped into the Yuan Qing Temple, I experienced ten calendar training...... I still have lingering palpitations when I think about it now. ”

Xing Mo squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Ting Ruo, and saw the water droplets that slipped down her face, "Presumably those ten days were not easy and painful, right?"

"Yes, everybody is physically and mentally exhausted. They will face extreme physical and physical tests, and although some people can bear this physical exhaustion, they cannot escape the torture of their minds.

The things that you fear the most in your heart, the things you want to forget the most, or even the things that you have forgotten, are transformed into an existence that you can't tell whether it is reality or illusion, which is much more uncomfortable than exhausting the energy of your body......

The experience in these ten days is roughly divided into three levels, and you should remember them. ”

Xing Mo frowned, listening to Ting Ruo's tone, she realized that these ten days were not simple and pure, but just to judge whether the newcomers to the Yuan Qing Temple were qualified to worship the Yuan Qing Temple.

It seems that these ten days are a threshold, not only the threshold of Yuan Qingguan, but also the threshold of reality and illusion, sobriety and madness, life and death.

"It's just a ceremony, a test, why Yuan Qingguan is so harsh. Xing Mo was puzzled.

Ting Ruo pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Because this is Yuan Qingguan, the only place on earth that can contact Taiqing Heaven, and the only platform that can become the immortal of Taiqing Heaven." No jokes are allowed, and no blasphemy is allowed......

Therefore, only Yuan Qingguan can formulate harsh and even ruthless rules to show the strictness of this place and correct the attitude of anyone who wants to get close to Yuan Qingguan. ”

With that, the two of them paddled on the warm water at the same time. Now that she has come to Yuanqingguan, since fate has arranged that she must take this step, then there is only that.

Xing Mo said: "Which three levels?"

Ting Ruo straightened up, "The first layer is about the first three days, and it will test the teamwork of several of you. If you want to spend these three days safely and smoothly, you need to cooperate with each other, no one knows what will happen during this period, and then Cui Xuanzhong will give you a task, and the first level of the realm requires you to understand the friendship between teachers and disciples.

If you spend these three days safely, you will enter the second level of the realm in the next three days, of course, there will be different situations in each of the ten days of Yuan Qingguan, and I don't know what Xing Mo you are about to face......

But in these three days, you only believe in yourself, and don't trust your friends like the first three days, sometimes 'friends' are enemies. The second level requires you to know how to distinguish friend from foe.

If you are lucky, you still survive the second level, and the next four days will be the third level. Each person will experience different things in these four days, and it is difficult to tell whether what you are experiencing at this moment is real or unreal, and perhaps the things you least want to face will be pulled out of your heart and re-revealed to you in blood, without concealment......

What are you most afraid of, what you hate the most, what you love the most, and what do you crave the most...... Xingmo, you have to stay sane and calm, and restrain yourself in order to pass this last realm safely, asking you to abandon all the seven emotions and six desires that you once had for most of them. ”

Xing Mo nodded, "I roughly understand, ten days ...... Since I don't have a choice, I have to go on. ”

Xing Mo could see the uneasiness in Ting Ruo's eyes, as if what she had just said had evoked her memories of the past, something that made her uneasy. She couldn't help but hold Ting Ruo's hand, "Don't worry...... I'll be fine. ”

Ting Ruo finally smiled at her, her smile out of sincerity was very sweet, like a magnolia blooming on a spring branch. "There's one more day, and the two of us won't be able to take a shower together for ten days. ”

With that, both of them laughed, as if the slightly heavy topic had not been spoken. The two picked up the warm water from the wooden basin with their hands and splashed it on each other.

After playing for a long time, Ting Ruo's sleepiness came like a sea of mountains, and the whole person was paralyzed, yawning out of the bathtub, drying his body, putting on his usual coarse cloth clothes and crawling to the bed.

"Xing Mo...... Don't you sleep yet?" Ting Ruo's eyes widened.

"You go to sleep first, I'll clean up the bath water......" Xingmo pointed to the wooden barrel beside him.

Seeing this, Ting Ruo didn't say much, and rubbed his body against the inside of the bed, and after a while, the sound of gentle breathing sounded.

Xing Mo only felt that the mountain was high and cold, and she had just poured out all the bath water for the two of them, and had made new well water to wipe the wooden bucket for bathing.

When he had finished his work, he blew out the candles and lay down on his bed.

I only felt that it had only been autumn for a long time, and it was extremely cold today, and she didn't feel warm when she lay in the quilt for a long time.

The moonlight reflected in the window not far from her bed, casting a silvery beam. Xing Mo was trembling, but saw two pale pink petals swirling, fluttering in the moonlight, and falling on the window lattice.

Ting Ruo's words just now made her more and more sleepy, and listening to the bleak autumn breeze outside the window, her heart became more and more irritable. He lifted the quilt, draped it over his body, walked to the window, and stretched out his hand to catch the petals that were still fluttering in the wind.

The petals in the palm of the palm are like falling snow, and they are the peach blossoms of the peach forest of the East China Sea. Unconsciously remembered the peach forest of the East China Sea under the moonlight that night, and the long hair that stood on the edge of the sea cliff in the twilight rain and moved with the wind.

She suddenly felt that the twilight rain was like a flower blooming in hell, like fire but cold like ice.
