Shi Ziling smiled slightly: "The beautiful scenery on the shore of Zilan Lake has long been deeply engraved in my heart, and I don't think there will be any wine more moving than that beautiful scenery. ”

Ye Zhen's heart moved, and when she heard the meaning of Shi Ziling's words, she couldn't help but blush slightly, but now that she had made a decision, she didn't want to be trapped by love anymore, so she immediately stepped forward and came to Shi Ziling to solemnly salute:

"Thank you Shi Gongzi this time! Shi Gongzi is busy with military affairs, and he really doesn't dare to keep it, but I want to ask Gongzi to know that Caiyunxuan will always be Gongzi's friend. He is free, please remember to come to Nanhai Caiyunxuan to talk about it, and we will definitely offer 'Ziyeqing' grand hospitality. ”

Shi Ziling saw that Ye Zhenzhen was calm and calm, and seemed to have recovered the appearance of the dust fairy in the past, and couldn't help but admire her sword heart that was really beyond the world, and immediately bowed back and said: "I haven't congratulated the fairy on becoming the master of Caiyun Xuan, with the talent of the fairy, he will be able to shine in the future in the way of the sword, Ziling has a fate, and he will definitely come back to ask the fairy for advice." ”

The two looked at each other deeply, and everything was silent. Although they are reluctant to give up in their hearts, they all understand that they have their own responsibilities, and even if they want to pour out thousands of words in their hearts, it is difficult to express them at this moment, but the moving scenery on the shore of Zilan Lake will still be deeply engraved in the hearts of the two.

After Shi Ziling bowed deeply, he said goodbye and left, Ye Zhenzhen was slightly blessed, and after seeing Shi Ziling go away, he led many disciples back to Caiyun Xuan.

When many disciples went to prepare for the celebration, Aunt Gongsun summoned Ye Zhenzhen into her room alone and asked in a low voice, "Zhen'er, you seemed to be a little hesitant to take over Caiyunxuan just now?"

Ye Zhenzhen was shocked, knowing that the master had seen the clues, and hurriedly said: "Disciple is not Xiao, just now I did want to step into the red dust and be an ordinary woman, but thinking of the master's painstaking cultivation over the years, I knew that I had a heavy responsibility, and finally made up my mind. ”

Aunt Gongsun looked at this beloved disciple lovingly, and sighed lightly: "Master is also a person from the past, so he naturally understands all kinds of temptations in the red dust, but your qualifications are wonderful, and you are a martial arts wizard who is unique in ten thousand, as long as you practice diligently in the future, your achievements may not be under the stone tomb." ”

"I can see that your skills have improved greatly after recovering from your injuries this time, and your True Yuan cultivation is no less than mine, and the Xuanyuan Sword on your back has obviously recovered its spiritual power, with such a good foundation, wouldn't it be a pity if you give up easily?"

Ye Zhen was truly amazed by the sharpness of his master's gaze, and hurriedly took off the Xuanyuan sword from his back, held it in front of Aunt Gongsun with both hands and said, "Thanks to Shi Ziling for sending the divine sword back, please put it away from Master." ”

Aunt Gongsun didn't stretch out her hand to take the sword, and said with a smile: "An artifact like the Xuanyuan Sword has always been obtained by people who are destined, although the spiritual power of this sword has been restored, it is obviously very different from before, and it is no longer the treasure of Zhenxuan of Caiyunxuan in the past." Since it was given to you by Shiziling, you can just keep it. With the Excalibur by your side, Master is even more at ease. ”

"Well, this kid Shi Ziling postponed his hegemony in order to save you this time, stayed in the South China Sea for more than two months, and returned the Xuanyuan Sword that had recovered its spiritual power to you, which is really good for you. Zhen'er, I look at your expression today, and you seem to have a lot of affection for Shiziling between your eyebrows, are you ...... between you?"

Aunt Gongsun didn't finish her words, but the meaning was already very obvious, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but be surprised, how could he not expect that the master would even see these in his eyes. She said with a crimson face: "Master, the disciple has already determined to dedicate himself to the way of the sword, and in the future, he will be in charge of Caiyunxuan wholeheartedly and carry forward the way of our Caiyunxuan." ”

Aunt Gongsun nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Zhen'er, Master is a competitive person, and he has always aspired to become the first person in the martial arts world, but unfortunately he has not succeeded for a long time, so he pinned all his hopes on you. ”

"Although Shi Ziling has the upper hand now, in my opinion, your talent and intelligence are not under Shi Ziling, after this turmoil, you have a better chance than Master to enter the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and your future achievements are really limitless. However, this is always just Master's thoughts, and if you have other ideas, Master can understand. ”

Ye Zhenzhen was surprised that Aunt Gongsun would say this, and felt a little overwhelmed for a while.

Aunt Gongsun smiled and said: "Zhen'er, in the final analysis, Master always hopes that you can have an infinitely better future, if you can concentrate on swordsmanship, it is good, if you really can't do it, you don't have to force it." The so-called one drink and one peck, it is not predetermined, after this turmoil, the master also wants to open a lot, I will not force you. ”

Ye Zhenzhen was greatly moved, she knew that her master was competitive all her life, and always wanted to become the first in the world, and devoted herself to her cultivation, and also hoped that she could inherit her mantle, but she didn't expect to say such a thing after seeing the emotional entanglement between herself and Shi Ziling, showing her strong love for herself.

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were red, and he said in a firm tone: "Master rest assured, Zhen'er has made a decision, and in the future, he will devote himself wholeheartedly to the way of the sword, and will no longer be distracted by the mundane affairs of the red dust, and he will definitely be able to make a breakthrough in the way of the sword in the future, and repay the master's years of cultivation." ”

Aunt Gongsun smiled and said, "Of course it's good if that's the case, what Master said just now, it's just ...... I just don't want you to repeat Master's mistakes. Alas, if I had to do it all over again, maybe I would be a different person today......"

Ye Zhenzhen was puzzled: "What does Master's mistake refer to back then?"

Aunt Gongsun's face turned red and said with a smile: "It's all old things, don't mention it, you just need to remember what Master said today." I'm so happy today, let's go out and have a few glasses of 'Purple Leaf Green', haha......"

Although Ye Zhenzhen couldn't guess what Aunt Gongsun was referring to, he had already understood the master's love for him, but since he had made a decision, he would naturally devote himself to kendo in the future, which was not only a reward for his master's years of cultivation, but also his own desire from childhood to adulthood. As for the lingering love on the shore of Zilan Lake in the back mountain, it can only be cherished in the depths of my heart forever......

After Shi Ziling said goodbye to Ye Zhenzhen and went down the mountain, he was also quite melancholy in his heart, he could see that Ye Zhenzhen was quite affectionate towards him, but she was entrusted by Aunt Gongsun, and she was determined to dedicate herself to kendo since she was a child, so it was reasonable to make the decision to take over Caiyunxuan. Although Shi Ziling regretted it, he could only silently bless Ye Zhenzhen in his heart.

At this time, it was already the beginning of October, and there was only less than a month left before the day of the coalition army attacking Yanjing City on October 28.

Since he successfully cultivated the Nine Yuan Customs Clearance Technique, the energy torrent in his body has been qualitatively improved, and he can absorb the nameless power between heaven and earth at any time to replenish his energy consumption.

While running with all his might, Shi Ziling was also constantly using the nameless power that was constantly entering his body to continue to transform and expand the capacity and endurance of his meridians, and constantly improve his Yuan Demon Divine Technique and Ability Technique.

With the passage of time, whenever Shi Ziling ran with all his might, he would feel that he was gradually integrated into the heaven and earth, as if he was no longer a separate individual, but became an inherent part of the heaven and earth.

Whether it is the flowers and trees on the side of the road or the soil and stones, or the blue sky and white clouds or the breeze and the bright moon, in Shiziling's view, they are the same as themselves, there is more or less energy flowing in and out at all times, and when the energy in their bodies interacts with these things in the world, they will feel that they are so closely related and interdependent.

What surprised Shi Ziling even more was that the lost memories that remained in the depths of his mind seemed to be slowly emerging as he broke through the realm of the unity of heaven and man. At the very least, there were already some scattered fragments of memory that would come to his mind from time to time, and even if he tried to think about it, he wouldn't have the same headache as before.

Shi Ziling was happy in his heart, feeling that as long as he continued to work hard, he would definitely be able to retrieve the lost memories in the future, and recovering his memories was like breaking through the last entrance, and it was also a matter of course, and when the time was ripe, the lost memories would inevitably be completely re-presented in his mind.

Although Zilan Mountain in the South China Sea is far away from Yanjing City, Shi Ziling's speed has long exceeded the limit of ordinary people, and he doesn't need much rest, so after many days of rapid running, he finally arrived outside Yanjing City on time on October 28.

At this time, outside Yanjing City, people from all over the Mingyue Continent had already gathered, among which the Songhu Legion and its various branches alone had as many as 300,000 troops, plus the spontaneous coalition forces from all over the country, the total strength exceeded one million.

However, although all the people arrived early, they did not see the commander of the coalition army, Shi Ziling, show up, and the Songhu Army only sent Ma Yu and Bai Qingshuang to lead the army, and Ma Yu only deduced that Shi Ziling would definitely arrive on time, but he was always unwilling to disclose the details.

In terms of the imperial court, since Luo Linhai, Hui Yinghong, and Shi Yuzhu's several major armies were destroyed one after another, the imperial court has been actively recruiting troops for more than a year, but unfortunately there are few responders, and today, it is only the reorganization of the Yellow Dragon Legion.
