Under the dark sky, the sleeping purple mountain is like a sleeping dragon lurking on the earth, and the dragon's body is winding, undulating in the depths of the night. The dragon's head rises to the east, rising in a dense fog that is as high as the clouds. A flash of light pierced the sky, and the top of the purple mountain boiled violently. The clouds are flying and the fog is raging. Like thousands of horses galloping, with a silent cry, crushing the dreams of the night, the majestic power accumulated by the mountains is bravely lined up to the sky.

A ray of sunlight pierced the sky, and thousands of horses were in unison. The clouds receded, and in the golden light and shadow, the majestic mountain peaks transformed sharply, and when the long bell rose, it completed its costume change, and it was green.

On the official road leading from Xishan City to Xishan Fort, a group of teenagers ran quickly in the direction of the bell, followed by some adults in the distance.

Two groups later, a white-robed young man walked alone. He walked less slowly, more like he was walking. He was noticeably taller than the teenagers in front of him, and his face was a little pale.

The big bell of Xishan Fort was still ringing, and the long bell swept away the last trace of light fog on the official road, and the light of the sun spread straight down, and the white-robed young man's face was sweating.

"Run, run, there is war in the Empire. ”

Two clouds of smoke and dust blew on both sides of the white-robed young man's body, and two young men, one fat and one thin, ran forward past him, but suddenly stopped after running more than ten feet away.

"Monkey, who do you think he is?"

The white fat boy asked the thin black boy with a look of surprise.

"Baili Huang of the Baili family, what is he doing here?"

The boy who was called the monkey recognized the identity of the white-robed boy at a glance.

The two teenagers hugged their shoulders at the same time, and the young man intercepted the way of the white-robed young man. Not at all timid about the dwarves.

"Sick Phoenix, let's report to Xishan Fort, what are you doing here?" the white fat man's tone was very contemptuous.

"Didn't you just shout that there was a war in the Empire?" the white-robed young man's tone was as indifferent as his expression.

The two teenagers, one white and one black, one fat and one thin, looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. The arms he was holding were loose, and even a chicken leg in the sleeve of the little fat man fell to the ground.

The white-robed young man frowned slightly, "Su Qi, Xu Guan, you two get out of the way." ”

The thin monkey Su Qi restrained his smile, "The war depends on you?"

Bai Fat Xu looked at the chicken leg on the ground and kicked it away, "Sick Phoenix, it's not that the two of us are troublesome, you come for nothing, Xishan Fort won't accept a Bai Ding disciple, let's go home and recuperate." ”

The white-robed young man glanced at the purple mountain in front of him, as if he was talking to himself: "There is a war in the empire, everyone is responsible, why can't I come?"

After he finished speaking, he walked forward directly, and Su Qi and Xu Guan subconsciously got out of the way. The look on the white-robed young man's face surprised them, it was too awe-inspiring.

The last bell disappeared into the valley, and a middle-aged man in a purple robe appeared in the courtyard of Xishan Fort. He was tall, and his figure drew a long black shadow in the morning light. He glanced gloomily at the Bell and Drum Tower, pondered for a moment, and then let out a sigh of relief and relaxed the tense muscles on his face.

The bells in the fort are not ringed every day, and when the bells ring, something big must happen.

"Morning castle master. A middle-aged man in a blue robe appeared beside him, looking humble.

The big man, known as the lord of the castle, did not turn his head or echo, and looked silently at a black pine in the courtyard, as if studying its age. Last night was another difficult night, and after all he had cultivated all night, all he got was deep tiredness and a messy mind when he woke up in the morning. Even forgetting that there will be a major event in the fort today.

How many years have it been? It has been fifteen years since he entered the Silver Mind Middle Realm, a full fifteen years!

In fifteen years, he walked from the upper realm of copper thoughts to the middle realm of silver thoughts, and it seemed that he was not walking slowly, but who knew that he had stayed in the middle realm of silver thoughts for eight years, and he had not made any progress at all. Of course, he knew how difficult it was to go any further, and what it meant, but he couldn't deprive him of even the slightest pleasure in cultivation, making every time he cultivated now, as if he was suffering.

A fiery figure floated in, "Master early." ”

The castle lord looked at the young man in a big red robe and nodded with a smile, and when he saw him, his depressed mood was resolved. He was his pride, and two years ago, at the age of fifteen, he entered the Bronze Nian Primal Realm and became a high-ranking samurai.

From Mu Nian, Iron Nian to Bronze Nian, it looks like it is only a three-step process, and only the cultivator himself understands how difficult it is! Mu Nian is the entry, Tie Nian is gradually maturing, and when he reaches Tong Nian, it is a qualitative change and becoming a high-level samurai.

Most of the warriors in the Purple Jade Continent have stayed in Tie Nian all their lives, and it is difficult to cross the threshold of Tong Nian. Therefore, the bronze warriors have also become the cornerstone of the Purple Jade Continent and the backbone of various empires. As for Jin Nian, that was the lifelong pursuit of the warriors of the Purple Jade Continent, and few of them reached it like a morning star. They are the pillars of various empires, Kuibao.

"There are still two years to go. The castle lord said to his favorite disciple.

This sentence has no beginning or end, but the three people present all understood it. The competition organized by the Purple Mountain Empire was held two years later, and the castle lord hoped that his eldest disciple would be able to break through to the Bronze Nian Middle Realm within two years, so that he could win the first place in the competition.

"The disciple didn't want to compete. The young man said.

The castle lord shook his head, "Although I am reluctant to let you go, this is the last chance, after this term, you will be overage." ”

The young man's face was very pale, a little excessively white, which was innate, like a pathology. "Everything is subject to the master's arrangement. "He didn't insist.

The castle lord nodded, and walked forward first. Today was a big day for Xishan Fort to recruit new disciples, and he took the two of them to start inspecting the castle.

These three people are the three giants of Xishan Fort, the big man in the purple and red robe is the castle lord Ximen Dayang, the big red robe is his eldest disciple Suo Feng, and the blue-robed and slightly thin middle-aged man is Fan Chang Wuzhong, the general manager of Xishan Fort.

Xishan Fort is built according to the mountain, covers an area of thousands of acres, there are many pavilions in the fort, surrounded by green trees, there is a stream that flows down from the mountain, and in the backyard and the front yard in the fort alluvial two pools of clear water, called peach blossom green. The reason for such an elegant name is that there are not only a few huge weeping willows around the pond, but also a special peach tree that can only bloom and bear fruit around the Purple Mountain, the Purple Mountain Peach.

Like ordinary peach trees, the purple mountain peach is not very tall, but its main trunk is unusually thick when it reaches adulthood, and the branches of the tree expand in an incredible state to the lower air, graceful and graceful. When the flowering season comes, the flowers are full of vine-like branches, and the trees are spread out in a row, and the view from a distance is like a brocade, and people who watch it up close will be intoxicated.

Xishan Fort cherishes these peach trees very much, it is said that this is related to the quality of Yushi, and the quality of Yushi directly affects the status of Xishan Fort, which is a big deal!

Some people deduce that the reason why the jade produced by Xishanbao is of high quality is because of these two pools of clear water and the purple mountain peach around the peach blossom green, they have changed, or achieved the feng shui here, and this feng shui is very suitable for cultivating the jade shi. The peach blossom is comparable to the face of a young girl, and the face of a girl grows better than the peach blossom, how can it be inferior? Even if you cannot reach the realm of peach blossoms with a human face in a short time, you are still walking on the road to this realm. Feng Shui is important.

With the footsteps of patrolling the castle, Ximen Dayang's mood gradually brightened. Is it terrible that cultivation has stagnated? Xishan Fort is now in the top three in the empire, if the jade laurel crown falls on Xishan Fort again in three years, will Xishan Fort be in the top two?

At this moment, the peach blossom in the front yard was already surrounded by people, and the young men and women who were about to enter the fort were chasing and playing under the peach trees of the purple mountain. The peach blossoms in the front yard are now covered with peach blossoms in full bloom, and the pink and delicate flowers not only reflect the blue water, but also reflect the young hearts.

The white-robed young man who was called the "sick phoenix" on the official road also came here. The thousands of blooming peach blossoms came into his eyes, and his restrained heart immediately relaxed.

"How can it be so beautiful?" he said.

A crisp girl's laughter came from the sea of flowers, and Bailihuang, who was in a semi-intoxicated state, couldn't help but follow the prestige.

A bright smiling face flashed from among the delicate branches of the flowers in his gaze.

Flowers reflect the face, the face reflects the flowers, and the peach blossoms on the human face reflect red.

"Wow, the sick phoenix is here. ”

A very discordant voice broke the beautiful mood in front of him. The white-robed young man looked to the side, and a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys appeared in front of him, their smiling faces full of ridicule without any scruples.

"Look, what is he holding in his hand?"

"A book. ”

"The sick phoenix can't do anything, only look at the book and pretend, it's not strange. ”

The white-robed young man frowned again and spoke: "The affairs of the empire are tight, I am afraid that there will be a war, I will do my part, you should stop making noise in my ears." ”

"Wow, the scholar has dropped his book bag, come and listen. ”

"Are you a white ding, do you use your mouth to resist the enemy?"

In the distance, Ximen Dayang stretched out his hand and pointed at Taohuabi, "What did you two hear them shouting?"

Fan Changwuzhong replied with a smile: "In the past few days, the first army of the Western Jin Kingdom has pressed on the border line, and it has spread among the people, and there is a fear of war. We are only routinely recruiting new disciples this year, but these parents and children are connected to the war ahead, and they all think that they are reserving talents for the empire. That's probably what they're arguing about. ”

"It seems that the motivation is very high, and the parents and children are not holding back. "Suo Feng Dao.

Ximen Dayang laughed, shook his head and said, "If you can't fight, the Western Jin Kingdom is just a gesture." The Western Jin Kingdom lacks cultivation resources and has always coveted our purple jade spirit stones. This is a disturbing mood, I hope we don't control the purple jade spirit stone too tightly, and we can give them more points. He waved his hand, "Besides, the consequences of the previous wars between the Western Jin Kingdom and us have been fiasco, how can Emperor Jinyang have that courage!"

He still hasn't said a word: Emperor Jinyang's cultivation realm is not as high as my Ximen Dayang!
