Li Qingtong and Liang Qingshan rushed to the front of the Ceres Temple, only to see a woman dressed in white like snow, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, and a long sword with a sapphire blue scabbard behind her back, standing alone in the crystal white square in front of the temple, looking into the distance alone.

Under the blue sky, above the crystal ground, there is a beautiful one, like a peerless fairy carved in white jade, which suddenly attracted the heart of Li Qingtong, a teenager who was just beginning to fall in love.

The two walked lightly to the front, and the other party turned around slightly, and Li Qingtong saw a face like snow. The woman looked sixteen or seventeen years old, her face was cold, her expression was detached, and when she saw the two of them coming, her thin eyebrows were lightly spread, her bright eyes turned slightly, and two shining rays of light immediately flashed, and her white skin also flashed a warm luster, as if the jade carving fairy had been resurrected in an instant. Li Qingtong suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted, only to feel a bang in his brain, the world was spinning, and his mouth was dry.

Liang Qingshan stepped forward and arched his hand: "You are the Qingyue junior sister of Wanghai Peak, right?"

The other party returned the salute: "Exactly." Looking down at Haifeng Lan Qingyue, I have seen the fifth senior brother!"

"Qingtong! I've seen Senior Sister Qingyue of Wanghaifeng!" Qingshan beckoned, "This is Seventeenth Senior Brother Li Qingtong!"

When the other party heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly glanced at Li Qingtong, and instantly returned to silence.

"I've seen the young boy!" the other party arched his hands. The sound is like a jade bead falling to the ground, crisp and heart-knocking, but the eyes are cold, although in front of you, it seems to be far away.

"I've seen it—I've seen Senior Sister Qingyue!" Li Qingtong, who used to be eloquent, suddenly became stupid, and he couldn't speak fluently.

While talking, they saw that the fourth senior brother Shang Qingtian, the seventh senior sister Jiang Qingyao, and the fourteenth senior brother Chu Qingtai also came one after another, and everyone saluted each other, and then discussed the reason for being summoned.

"Senior Sister Qingyue, are you here with Senior Uncle Xuan Zhen?" asked Qing Yue beside her.

"Yes, Senior Sister Seven, Master brought me here. Qingyue nodded and replied.

Qingshan sighed to Qingtian beside him: "Fourth Senior Brother! Uncle Xuan Zhen suddenly came to visit, there must be something important!"

Qingtian smiled: "Hehe, my master is also here." ”

"What? Uncle Xuanming is also out of the peak?" Qingtai asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Aoda replied with a smile.

Qing Yao said loudly to Qingtian Qingshan: "Today is a rare 'Five Xuan' gathering! Two senior brothers, you see, what will be a big deal? I have been jumping with my left eye and my right eye for the past few days!"

Qingtai said: "I have been in the mountain for seven or eight years, and today is the second time I have seen the 'Five Xuan' gatherings. Senior Sister Qingyue, the two of us almost entered the mountain before and after, right?"

"Exactly, I am three months behind Senior Brother Qingtai. Qingyue replied.

Qingtai asked, "Have you heard anything from Wanghaifeng?"

"Except for the big exam of the Autumn White Festival ten days later, there is nothing else. Qingyue shook her head indifferently.

Qingshan asked Qingtian: "Fourth Senior Brother, what do you think?

Qingtian whispered: "I guess, it should be related to next year's 'Millennium Ceremony'!"

Aoyama gave Aoda a thumbs up.

Qing Yao shouted over there, "Where are you two secretly muttering?"

Qingshan replied with a smile: "Fourth Senior Brother said, you have a beautiful appearance today, you can't be a person, did the Eighth Senior Brother send you any jade paste again?"

Qing Yao snorted and said angrily: "You two are senior brothers, so you don't look like senior brothers!"

Chu Qingtai smiled slightly, Lan Qingyue watched indifferently, and Li Qingtong was silent.

Among several people, Li Qingtong was the youngest, he had just entered the mountain for less than two years, and he didn't have the right to speak by himself, plus he was a little lost in love, so he simply didn't say a word, stayed quietly next to Liang Qingshan, and secretly stared at Jiang Qingyao and Chu Qingtai in the distance, but seeing that she asked and answered, she didn't say much, and her temperament was cold, as if everything didn't linger in her heart, and everything was transcendent. I thought in my heart, if I were to swim in the ethereal scenery hand in hand with this fairy-like person, and sit and watch the sunrise and sunset in the sea of clouds, what a beautiful thing it would be in life! Li Qingtong's face suddenly turned red, as if he had been seen through his heart, and he was embarrassed. At this moment, a shout came from the hall: "Masters, please invite a few senior brothers and sisters into the hall!" Everyone hurriedly ascended the steps, and Li Qingtong's embarrassing mood was temporarily concealed.

Entered the hall, but saw that on the five red sandalwood chairs in the hall, there were five green-robed Taoists, and the one in the middle of the dark green Daoist robe was the head of the master Xuanji Daoist, and the two on the right were the master Xuanyun Daoist and the fourth uncle Xuanmei. The one in the middle on the left side is an older Taoist chief, tall, with a martial appearance, a beard that almost covers his face, his eyes are bright, and he can only see the bronze eyebrows above and below his eyebrows, and a purple-red jade pendant hanging from his waist, which shows his noble status. A young man on the left side, although he was also wearing a Taoist robe, but his demeanor was more like a middle-aged scribe, his face was white and beardless, his square face was thin and his eyebrows were thin, and there was a faint elegance between his eyebrows, and a long copper flute around his waist added to his elegance;

"See the master!

The crowd shouted in unison.

The head of Xuanji said: "Qingtian Qingshan, Qingyao Qingtai, Qingtong!

The bearded Taoist hurriedly said, "No, you don't have to! I've never been formal! Don't be so troublesome!"

The head of Xuanji said: "The juniors haven't seen you for a long time, don't lose your courtesy, you have to make a salute." ”

Qing Tong followed the four senior brothers and sisters to the Taoist chief with a bearded face, knelt down and kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "Disciple to the senior uncle, please say goodbye!"

The head of Xuanji continued: "Please also say goodbye to your long-admired third uncle!"

The middle-aged Taoist who only heard the appearance of the scribe said indifferently: "I'll be exempt!"

"Disciple to the third uncle (master) to say goodbye!"

The middle-aged Taoist was already sitting next to the bearded Daoist, and the five of them didn't have to kneel heavily, and then kowtowed again, and Fang all stood up.

"Qingyue, hurry up and say hello to the master uncle and the master uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle!" said the bearded man.

Lan Qingyue knelt forward and kowtowed.

After the ceremony was finally over, Li Qingtong stood in front of the hall with all the senior brothers and sisters, and understood in his heart that this bearded man was the first Xuanzhen Daoist of the Eastern Vein Wanghai Peak, and the middle-aged scribe was the first Xuanming Daoist of the Fengming Peak of the main vein and the third uncle Xuanming Daoist.

Because Qingtian Qingshan, Qingyao and Qingtai had seen it many times and were relatively familiar with it, the eyes of the five Dao Masters suddenly focused on Lan Qingyue and Li Qingtong. Both of them are sixteen or seventeen years old at the moment, and they are in the golden years of youth and martial arts. Lan Qingyue has a slender figure, a fairy posture, cold and detached, and has no distractions, and at a glance, she knows that it is a piece of beautiful jade in the world that cultivates true martial arts! Li Qingtong has clear eyebrows and bright eyes, full of heaven, tall figure, and handsome bones, and is also a piece of talent for learning martial arts, Xuan Zhen and Xuan Ming regretted a little bit of the absence of the Autumn White Festival the year before last, if he also came at that time, he might not be able to grab such a wonderful material for practicing martial arts?

"Your name is Li Qingtong?" Xuan Zhendao said in a long voice, asking knowingly, as if he wanted to confirm it again.

"The disciple's common name is Li Bingtong, and Qingtong is the name given by the master after the disciple enters the mountain. Qingtong Zhengse replied.

"I heard that you have been in the mountain for less than two years, and you have already refined the qi sword, and you are gradually approaching the good realm of the 'Fifth Order Jade Dragon'?"

"It's all because the teachers have a good way of planning and teaching, and Senior Brother Qingshan has worked tirelessly and tirelessly to make some breakthroughs. ”

When the teachers heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads in praise.

Xuan Zhendao sighed and said, "Senior Brother in charge, you little disciple, not only is you talented in martial arts, but you are also eloquent!"

Xuanji Daoist looked at Lan Qingyue in a blink of an eye, and praised: "Qingyue, this child, I heard that he was born in the Xuanming of the Beihai Sea, and he was born in the Jade Realm, and he has a bright future!"

Daoist Xuan Zhen sighed and said: "I, Qingyang East Vein, although I also have nine disciples, except for the first two Qingji Qingjiao who went down the mountain to survive the tribulation, the only ones who can really bring me some comfort are the third Qingyu and this closed disciple Qingyue." It's not like the peaks of the Western Vein, there are many talents, and seeing Qingtian Qingshan, Qingyao Qingtai, all of them are young heroes, which makes people envious! I think it's mainly because I'm stupid as a master, the disciple has no way, and my kung fu is sparse, so I'm a little misguided. ”

Xuan Mei said at a long time: "Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, you are too modest! How many people in the rivers and lakes can block the seventeen punches of your 'Thor's Hammer' and the thirteen feet of the 'Lightning Collapse Mountain'? If you want to say that your kung fu is sparse, then no one in the rivers and lakes dares to admit that you know martial arts?"

Xuan Zhen said at a long time: "That is not as good as the 'Four Uniques of Martial Arts' that are famous in the rivers and lakes! The Dan of the senior brother, the fist of the second senior brother, the sword of the third junior brother, and the sword of the fourth junior sister, who does not know the rivers and lakes? ”

Daoist Xuanyun heard Xuan Zhen's voice, and still used this topic to recommend his disciples, probably to fight for a place, so he said loudly: "Whether it is the West Pulse or the East Pulse, it is all our Qingyang Sect of the same mountain and the same sect, one is prosperous, one is lost, there are no outsiders today, so don't be humble, let alone compliment each other, what do you think, what do you think, you might as well listen to it directly?"

Xuan Zhen said: "Since they are not outsiders, then I will say it directly." I want to arrange two people for the transmission of this 'Spiral Sword Array', although the children are young, they will have to survive the 'Heavenly Tribulation' sooner or later, and they are alone, and it is very easy to break the string!"

After hearing this, the head of Xuanji's eyes flashed stunned, and said: "The master left his last words before he died, the Five Elements Sword Technique and the Five Elements Sword Spectrum of the 'Spiral Sword Array' can only be fully passed on to a disciple with superb swordsmanship and flawless character, and the second person is not allowed to be passed on, and even the next generation of heads has no privilege to peep more, so he also set up a Blood Gu Poison Alliance, and then passed it to Senior Sister Xuanmei, and drove the crane to the west." For this reason, the master also deliberately set the five veins and five sects, and each sect only sent one person to inherit the sword techniques and sword scores of the sect, and then these five people performed the 'Spiral Sword Array'. What Senior Brother Xuan Zhen mentioned just now involves the changes in the inheritance of the 'Spiral Illusion Sword Array', so you must be cautious. I wonder what the other guys think?"

"I'll say it first!" "The third San, who had been silent, cleared his throat and spoke, "After the last 'Vortex Illusion War' in the East China Sea, within a few years, five of the best disciples of our Qingyang Sect had gone to the 'Heavenly Tribulation', who knew that it had been more than twenty years, and there has been no news so far. Among these five disciples, three of them are the inheritors of the 'Sword Array' of the sect's attributes, which has led to the fact that among our next generation of disciples, there are more than 20 years since they have formed a formation to perform the 'Spiral Sword Array' together, and the sword formation almost exists in name only. Therefore, I have no objection to Senior Brother Xuanzhen's proposal. ”

The head of Xuanji said: "Senior Sister Xuanmei!' 'Spiral Sword Array' you should be the most vocal, what do you think?"

Xuanmei said: "The 'Spiral Sword Array' is powerful, and the exercises are boundless. After the last bloody battle in the East China Sea, it spread on the rivers and lakes, and was named the 'Fantasy Sword Array', and once again spread all over the country. Due to the fact that the lethality of the 'Spiral Illusion Sword Array' is too powerful, I still think that the inheritance method cannot be changed. ”

The head of Xuanji said: "What is the opinion of the senior brother?"

Xuanyun Dao Elder had already had an idea, but he was just waiting, and waited until the senior brother in charge asked before he spoke: "What you junior brothers and sisters said makes sense, I think so, this time the 'Spiral Illusion Sword Array' is reopened, and each peak and each sect can also send two people to participate and perform together, but the two people of this sect can only practice the swordsmanship of the five elements of the sect in the formation of the five elements of the sect, so that the inheritance can be expanded, and it will not violate the ancestral system of the 'Spiral Illusion Sword Formation'." ”

Xuan Zhen sighed: "Senior brother is really an old fox!"

The head of Xuanji's suspended heart finally fell, and said calmly: "Just follow what Senior Brother said! Do you have any other ideas? Senior Brother Xuanzhen?Senior Brother Xuanming?Senior Sister Xuanmei?"

All three shook their heads.

The head of the Xuanji Daoist cleared his throat and said loudly: "A few young juniors have also come over today, so I'll just say a few more words from the beginning." This year's Autumn White Festival, although it is the festival of the big examination, we have followed the original convention, how we should pass it, and the school examination of the school, the evaluation of the grades, and the celebration of meat and wine are all carried out normally. But in another year, it will be next year's Autumn White Festival! Next year's Autumn White Festival will be different, not only is it one of the 24 solar terms, it is not only the anniversary of the establishment of our Ziyang and Qingyang factions, but also the 'millennium ceremony' since the founding of our Taoist ancestor Tsing Yi Daozun faction. Today, the first of our five peaks gathered in this 'Cereals Temple' to discuss such important matters, it is precisely to prepare for a rainy day and prepare in advance. After each peak returned, they each selected two disciples, and as soon as the Autumn White Festival passed, Senior Sister Xuanmei unified to teach the 'Spiral Illusion Sword Array'. In addition, it is necessary to step up the training of the disciples of this peak, and the alchemy tool must not be left behind. In a few months, five people will be selected to go down the mountain in advance and go to Ziyang Mountain to celebrate the 'Millennium Ceremony'!"

After the six disciples retreated, there were only Qingyang "Five Xuan" left in the hall.

"'Spiral Sword Array', the Five Elements Long Mountain, the landslide and tsunami, the sky collapses and the net collapses, that most brilliant scene is like a dream in front of you!" Xuanyun Daoist leaned back in his seat, looked at the top of the hall, and said with a leisurely expression.

Xuanmei Daoren muttered: "At that time, I was not a few years older than Qing Yao in front of me, I was really red and easy to grow old, and the vicissitudes of life!"

Xuan Zhendao stroked the beard on his face, and sighed: "Thirty years of glory have passed like smoke, and the poor road is dying of old age." ”

Xuanyun Dao Chang smiled and said, "I didn't even say that I was old, what are you all sighing for? Today, our 'Five Xuan' has gathered, do you want to play the 'Spiral Sword Formation' together?"

The head of Xuanji also smiled and said, "Senior brother, how many years have you not touched a sword?" The third senior brother has already abandoned the sword and followed the sword, I wonder if the senior brother is still dancing the sword?"

Xuan Zhen waved his hand and said, "I? You don't know? We have been 'boxing addicts' since we were young, and Yu Jian has no special hobbies.

A few people laughed.

Xuanmei said: "Senior brothers, do you still remember the old days? Do you still remember the 'Jiangyue Song' sung by the fishermen of Jiangzhu above the river and under the moonlight?"

Xuanji said long: "When the East China Sea returned from the bloody battle, several of us were blood-stained in battle robes, exhausted, and traveled to the river, and suddenly saw the ancient Jiangzhu fisherman, boating and singing, I remember that the moon was white and the wind was clear, and the flute was blowing and singing, and the scenery was unforgettable. ”

Daoist Xuanyun pondered: "A beautiful and strange song of the flute......"

Xuanji Daoist sighed and said, "That song, for thirty years, I can't figure it out!"

Xuanyun Dao said: "The first two sentences are easy to understand, pointing out the dynasties before my Huaxia clan, but what do the words of the later songs mean?"

"Xiajiang Shangyue, Zhou Ji and Qin Ge, competing for dominance. ”

Xuan Zhen Dao talent, no matter what the meaning of its words, took the lead in chanting.

Xuanyun Xuanji Xuanmei sang softly and unpassionately:

"Looking at the night sky, the river and Han are faint, the Wei and Jin mountain platforms, the north and south beacon fires...... Don't be surprised, hear the Song song and the song, and the bright moon and the clear song ......"

When Xuan Ming Dao heard this, the sound of the song was already clear to him. He was a genius in music, although he did not personally participate in the "Spiral Sword Array" and did not hear the "Jiang Yue Song" with his own ears, he could still imagine the scene at that time, so he untied the long flute in his waist and followed the accompaniment. The three of them heard the sound of the flute harmonizing, which was more like the scene of the year, and their emotions suddenly became emotional, and they sang more energetically:

"Twenty-four volumes of the Bundle Pavilion, Zonglutai and Afang are all dusty. Sigh that the overlord is eloquent, but it is only a hundred years...... The vicissitudes of the sea, the mountains and rivers are shaken down, and the river Feng fishing fire is ...... for thousands of years"

Outside the main hall, the six disciples had just walked to the center of the square, when they suddenly heard the sound of singing behind them, and then there was a flute sound, and they all stopped and looked back, and they could see that the singing and flute sound were all coming from the Ceres Temple.

"Master, what's wrong with today?" Jiang Qingyao asked herself.

But when I heard the singing, the louder and louder I sang, the singing was high-pitched, and the sound of the flute was desolate, but it was majestic and melodious, and it was graceful to listen.

Qingtian couldn't help but think about it.

Now, among the disciples left on the mountain in Qingyang Mountain, he is the only one who knows the detailed origin of this song, and only he knows that the bloody tide covered by this melodious song and the dark battle in the East China Sea are also the only ones who have personally experienced the infinite power of the "Spiral Sword Array". For other juniors and sisters, the "Spiral Sword Array" is just a legend, they can only rely on the bits and pieces of word of mouth to imagine the fantasy and magic of the sword array exercises, but they have never known and cannot imagine that the heaven and earth behind the legend of the "Spiral Sword Array" and the sea of blood connected to it are not clear, let alone the beautiful relationship and the dreamlike eternal years that they have formed in the meantime......

"Senior brothers and sisters, Qingyue will leave first. ”

Lan Qingyue first said goodbye to everyone one by one, and finally when it was Li Qingtong's turn, she glanced at him, but Li Qingtong felt that his eyes were as bright as torches and extremely sharp.

Everyone watched her sword fly away, and Jiang Qingyao and Chu Qingtai also said goodbye and returned to their respective peaks.

"Fourth Senior Brother, where are you going?" Liang Qingshan asked Shang Qingtian.

"I'm on the top. Shang Qingtian said, his voice a little drifting and dull.

"Seventeen, you go back to practice first. Fourth Senior Brother, I will accompany you to the summit for a walk. ”

"You two are busy! I want to go up and walk alone. ”

"Fourth Senior Brother, do you seem to have something on your mind?" asked Li Qingtong.

"It's nothing, I'm a little messed up, it's good to be alone for a while. ”

"Then we'll go back to the apse first. After Liang Qingshan finished speaking, he pulled Li Qingtong's sleeve and left.

Shang Qingtian climbed to the top of the Ethereal Peak alone, and his heart was full of emotion, and he couldn't help but think fluttering. The past is like smoke, like a night dream, and it resurfaces in front of me, and the scene is as clear and vivid as what happened yesterday.

On that afternoon thirty years ago, he and Miss Qingqiao were sitting on the top of this ethereal peak, sitting on the abrupt green rock in front of them, looking at the endless sea of clouds around them, looking at the looming Lingxu Peak in the sea of clouds in the distance, and saying goodbye...... His mind couldn't help but fly to the bottom of the sea thirty years ago, to the bottom of the sea where the battle was raging......
