Darkness shrouded the wilderness, cold starlight sprinkled, and the earth was a little desolate.

Master watched the old turtle sink into the water, he looked at the Jiaozhu in my hand, his eyes flashed with a different look, but he just sighed lightly and said to me: "Xuan Wazi, you go back to rest first, there are some things to talk about tomorrow." ”

I nodded, feeling very tired, but when I saw the cyan light in my hand, I was in trouble, I didn't know what to do, just when I hesitated, this bead seemed to be a psychic of my thoughts, actually "whoosh" into the air, suddenly flew out of my hand and drilled into my chest.

I watched this scene dumbfounded, and I couldn't react at all for a while, and only after the bead submerged into my body did I stupidly stretch out a hand and touch my chest.

"This Jiaozhu is weird! Could it be true that as said in ancient books, Jiaozhu contains the soul of Jiaolong, even after the physical death, his soul can be preserved in Jiaozhu? Qingyun Daoist said with some surprise, and several old Taoist priests beside him also looked at me with envy, this kind of psychic treasure can't be of any great use.

"Okay, Xuan Wazi, you all go back to sleep, it's not early." Master waved his hand at me, motioning for me to go back early, and then he turned to Qingyun Daoist and said, "Brother Qingyun Dao, what you just said, I'm afraid we still have to discuss it, come, let's go to the main hall and talk about it." ”

I watched Master and them enter the main hall, and saw that the door of the hall was closed all of a sudden, and they seemed to be discussing something important, and I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart that what they said might be related to the secret realm of Qingcheng that I had just told them.

I turned my head to look around, lonely, silent in the middle of the night, except for a few insect chirpings from time to time from outside the temple.

The ethereal woman had long since left, and I looked around with some disappointment, when the water rippled in the pond and rolled up a few splashes, and I was so frightened that I ran away, afraid that the old turtle would not change his mind and run out again.

I went back to my bedroom, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep, falling asleep before I knew it.

I didn't say anything all night, and when the sun was blazing and the sky was clear the next day, I woke up from my bed, maybe the Master also knew that I was tired, so they didn't wake me up in the morning, and I didn't get up on my own until now.

As soon as I got up, I saw two steamed buns and a bowl of rice porridge on the table in the room, and my heart couldn't help but feel hot, this breakfast naturally couldn't have been made by the master, this should have been prepared by Mu Yueting for me and placed here, although she didn't say much, but her heart was excellent. I felt a little hungry in my belly, so I took the rice porridge on the table and drank it all, the rice porridge was warm and sweet, and at the same time I felt a warm piece of my heart.

After eating breakfast and washing up, I walked to the Taoist temple and found that the little Taoist priests from last night had already left, and the master was standing by the pool with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking. And Mu Yueting was half-squatting by the pool, looking at the ripples in the pool with some melancholy, and her back looked a little lonely.

"Master."

I stepped forward and called Master.

Master answered, turned to look at me, and I saw that there was a trace of sadness on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not slept all night.

"Xuan Wazi, I have informed your parents, they will come to take you down the mountain later, during this time, you can live under the mountain first, and go to school first." Master said to me in a low voice, with a hint of reluctance in his words.

I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't realize until a long time later that Master was trying to drive me down the mountain.

"Master, you ...... Are you trying to drive me away? ”

My voice was choked, my eyes felt a little moist, the scene that happened in front of my eyes was very similar to the scene in "Journey to the West" where Sun Wukong was driven out of the mountain by Bodhi Patriarch, my heart was up and down, nervous and scared.

Master looked at me and smiled, he stretched out a big hand and touched my head, and said with a smile: "Melon Doll, Master didn't want to drive you away, it's just that the Qingcheng Mountain has not been peaceful recently, and the Qingcheng Secret Realm you experienced yesterday seems to have something wrong, and something may be going to happen." ”

I'm stunned, Qingcheng Secret Realm? What's going to happen here?

Master looked at me stunned, sighed and said, "At the beginning, the Qingcheng Secret Realm was blocked by the Trapped Dragon Array under Zhang Xianzhong, and then the problem with the dragon vein caused some changes in the entire area, forming the current Qingcheng Secret Realm. The patriarchs of our Xuanyuan Hall and the patriarchs of the Qingcheng Taoist sect joined forces to set up the Taoist Ecstasy Array and the Forbidden Spirit Array on the periphery, in principle, it is difficult for the living to get close, and the ghosts are difficult to come out, and the mortals outside are limited by the Ecstasy Array and cannot enter the secret realm, and the spirit souls in the secret realm are subject to the forbidden spirit array and cannot come out at all, for more than three hundred years, the secret realm and the human world have nothing to do with each other, and there has never been a problem. ”

"But, according to what you said, the headless female ghost in red is a ghost in the secret realm, but she was summoned by me with a spell six years ago, this Qingcheng secret realm may have a problem six years ago or even earlier, you were introduced into the secret realm by a female ghost, and the ghost will be able to send you out of the secret realm, which means that the big array outside this secret realm may have lost its effectiveness, these powerful ghosts have the ability to enter and exit or even send people in and out of this outside the big array, this Qingcheng Mountain, now it is not safe!" Master sighed, looking a little worried.

I couldn't speak with my mouth wide open, and I could hear the meaning of Master's words, that is, the large array of this Qingcheng secret realm has been almost ineffective, and the powerful ghosts and monsters in it can enter and exit at will, and in the long run, those ghosts and spirits in the secret realm will inevitably invade the world again, when I think of the thousands of spirits of the monkey clan in the secret realm, as well as the powerful ghosts such as the ghost wandering ghost and the white-clothed corpse king, I feel a chill, although the technology in the world is now very developed, and the power of all kinds of muskets and cannons is also very amazing, But those ghosts are not vegetarians, thinking that a female zombie who has been cultivating for three hundred years will make the government army powerless to fight back, not to mention the more terrifying and powerful monsters in this Qingcheng secret realm, not to mention that they can sweep the whole world, but it is inevitable to cause a catastrophe.

I was a little frightened by what Master said, and hurriedly said, "Master, then you and Senior Sister should also go down the mountain with me, we are far away, and this monster in Qingcheng Mountain will be solved by others." ”

"Bastard thing! That's how the teacher taught you? That's how your teacher at school taught you? What a bastard! When Master heard my words, he immediately became furious and yelled at me.

I was frightened by Master's appearance, I lowered my head and didn't dare to talk back, I also knew that what I just said was a bit rude, but I also said it because I was worried that Master and Mu Yueting were in a hurry.

The master scolded me for a while, and when he saw my aggrieved appearance, his voice suddenly softened, and he sighed: "Xuanwazi, as a teacher, I also know that you are worried about me and your senior sister, but my Xuanyuan Hall has been in this Qingcheng Mountain for hundreds of years, and the ancestors of all generations have left footprints on this land. Moreover, the Ecstasy Array and the Forbidden Spirit Array outside the secret territory of Qingcheng are also Taoist magic arrays laid out by our ancestors, so it is reasonable to be reasonable, this matter, we must take care of this line! You must not be one of those cowards who only cares about running for their lives when they encounter danger! ”

I was blushing for a while when the master said, especially the 'coward who will only run for his life when he encounters danger' in the master's mouth, I felt like he was talking about me, I gritted my teeth, my heart was horizontal, and I said categorically to the master: "Master, let me stay with you too, I am also a disciple of Xuanyuan Palace, if you don't leave, I won't leave!" ”

The master had a pleased smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "It's enough for you to have this intention, you are still young, and it is useless to stay." In addition, you don't have to worry too much, this matter may not be as serious as the teacher said, and the Qingcheng Taoist sect in Qianshan will also do their best to help us, and when the matter is confirmed, I will also contact the government and ask for their help, I believe that with the government's ability, it is not difficult to find some strange people, and when the matter is resolved, the teacher will let your senior sister pick you up. ”

I nodded, what the master said does make sense, after all, as long as the government is willing to help and re-strengthen the Qingcheng Secret Realm with the strength of the whole country, it must not be a difficult thing, I am relieved to think of this, and I have been in this Qingcheng Mountain for six years, and I have never played outside except for the usual school, and I have long wanted to go out for a walk, and my heart is itching at the moment, and I nodded and agreed to the words that the master asked me to go down the mountain.

When Master saw me nodding, a smile appeared on his face, but what I didn't see was that there was a trace of worry and worry hidden under Master's smile.

I walked to Mu Yueting's side, and when I looked at the pure and ethereal woman in front of me, my heart moved, and I couldn't help but say: "Senior sister, Master let me go down the mountain, don't think about me when I'm not there!" ”

I regretted it as soon as I said it, after all, Mu Yueting has always been a cold and ethereal woman in my heart, she doesn't know if she will be angry when she hears my ridiculous words, I feel a little drumming in my heart.

But what I didn't expect was that Mu Yueting listened to my words, she was stunned at first, and then showed a shallow smile on her face, her skin was as white as snow at the moment, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was like a spring breeze to dispel the cold winter, and my heart rippled when I saw it.

She said softly, "Go ahead, study hard, don't waste your homework." ”

Soon, my parents came down from the mountain to the Taoist temple, and after a conversation with Master, they led me down the mountain.

Walking on the stone steps of Qingcheng Mountain, I looked back, and at the door of the Taoist temple, there seemed to be a woman standing there, watching me go away......
