Chapter Twenty-Four: The Celestial Master Reappears

In the blink of an eye, it is the next yuan festival, October 15th, the whole Tianjing Mountain is very lively, the upper yuan respects the sky, the middle yuan rites, and the lower yuan relieves the misfortune, in addition to the annual sacrifice, these are the three most important festivals. In the morning, Yunxiao personally sent a basket of exquisite vegetarian food, but after this period of time, Meng Xiao has long been at ease with the ordinary life, let the gossip outside the door, he is only as stable as a rock, gradually, people seem to have forgotten him, do not remember that there is such an inconspicuous person living in the small courtyard around him.

When the night was approaching, seeing that the day of the Xia Yuan Festival was about to pass, Meng Xiao extinguished the oil lamp in the Tianji sub-room, turned around and was just about to go out, when the wick behind him was picked up, and it lit up again.

"Huh?" Meng Xiao clearly remembered that the oil lamp had been extinguished just now, and there would be no mistake, but at this time, the bean-sized lamp jumped and jumped, illuminating the room dimly, he frowned slightly, stepped forward and puffed out his mouth and wanted to blow again, but he heard a very low call, "Be loyal and slow." ”

Meng Xiao's body shook suddenly, this was the voice of Master Tianjizi, although the voice was so low that it was almost imperceptible, but Meng Xiao firmly believed that there would never be a mistake, "Master, is it you, where are you?" His hurried gaze swept the dim room, but he didn't see the shadow of Tianjizi.

"Hey, the teacher is here. Hearing only a light sigh, Meng Xiao's eyes followed the sound to look at the place, but saw that the light flickered, and in the thumb-sized flame, Tianjizi's shadow was swaying, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and leaned in front of the lamp, "Master, why are you here, you have been like this for more than a year?"

"Stupid words. The figure of Tianjizi at the wick was illusory, "Chengzhong, it's too late to explain many things to you now, but you have to keep in mind what I said next." ”

Meng Xiao nodded solemnly, knowing that there must be a very important reason for this, Tianjizi looked at Meng Xiao again and then said: "You remember to put away the hanging image of the jade flute patriarch outside the house, you also know where the upper volume of Zixia Gong is, the middle volume is in your hand, the lower volume is placed on the three-layer shelf on the left wall, the fifth book on the right is the fifth book, you have to put it away in a while, in addition, the bottom layer on the right wall, take out the rightmost handscrolls, there is a secret grid behind it, which hides a treasure for the teacher, give it to you, be careful......" Meng Xiao never heard the last half of the sentence clearly, "Master, what do you ......say?"

"Don't ask too much! Cultivate Chixia Gong well, and don't waste it. ”

"Yes, I made a note of Master. Although Meng Xiao didn't know what he meant, he kept Tianjizi's instructions firmly in his heart.

"Also, the immortal sword hanging on the wall is the thing of the jade flute patriarch, you must not move, except for the things ordered by the teacher to keep the same, this oil lamp does not have to be extinguished tonight, take the things, you will quickly take advantage of the night to leave from the back mountain, although there is a cliff outside the green bamboo forest, but there is a treasure for the teacher to ensure that you are not flawed. ”

Tianjizi said this, but Meng Xiao was stunned, why did the master order all this to leave the mountain gate?

"Master, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the disciple did something wrong to make the master unhappy?"

In the light, Tianjizi's expression couldn't be seen clearly at all, and he only heard his tone turn to hurry, "Chengzhong, it's too late to explain to you now, I just ask you if you believe it as a teacher?" I did this for your own good, miss tonight, I'm afraid you will be in a big disaster!"

"Master, what can I do? Besides, I was born in the mountains, where do you want me to flee at this moment?"

"I don't know where you should flee to be a teacher, but it's better than staying, from now on you have to be careful everywhere, and you can no longer say that you are a disciple of Tianjing Mountain. ”

Meng Xiao didn't ask anymore, "Master, since you let me leave, the disciple doesn't dare to disobey, but the disciple has received the grace of the master's seven-year upbringing, and I don't know when I can see each other again today, please accept the disciple's worship." ”

"Hey!" Tianjizi sighed again in the shadow of the lamp, "As a teacher, I am also forced to be helpless, so I have to remind you with the remnant soul sent in this wick, you and I are a master and apprentice, although it is not affectionate, but it is also very fateful, I just hope that you can live well from now on, let's go, go quickly." ”

Meng Xiao took a step back and bowed three times to the lamp on the table, he didn't think that there might be fraud in this matter, but he didn't have any other acquaintances in the entire Tianjing Mountain except for Tianjizi and Yunxiaozi, and ordinary people didn't have the ability to tease him, and with his current status, at most, a disciple like Hu Yong would not be able to get along with him, as for other people who wanted to drive him out, they didn't need to play any tricks at all, just a straightforward sentence, so he concluded that Tianjizi must have unspeakable hidden intentions.

When Meng Xiao's three bows have been completed, and when he looks up again, the wick becomes dim as before, and the shadow of Tianjizi is nowhere to be found, Meng Xiao hurriedly went outside to worship in front of the jade flute statue according to the instructions, and then confessed his sin, and then stepped forward to take off the hanging statue, roll it up and put it away, but at this time he couldn't help but hesitate, just now the master only said to put it away, but I don't know whether it means to let himself take it away, this hanging statue is also two feet wide when rolled up, and it is not easy to carry around, in case of damage, it is a sin.

"I'll find something else first. Meng Xiao put the hanging statue on the table, found two volumes of Chixia Gong respectively, looked up and saw the immortal sword hanging on the wall, no wonder the potential of this sword is extremely high, even comparable to the magnificent hall in the front mountain, I didn't expect it to be the thing of the jade flute, that is to say, the sword in the portrait is this treasure, but Tianjizi specially instructed, Meng Xiao did not dare to be greedy, turned to the right corner of the wall, pulled out the hand scroll from the most inconspicuous position, and then there was a dark grid on the side, but with the movement of the hand scroll, Meng Xiao's mind suddenly remembered a mantra that the master often chanted in front of him, and then he felt that it was very similar to the half sentence that he did not hear clearly, A small purple snake swam out of it, the length of the ruler and the thickness of the little finger, but the eyes of the little snake were confused at this time, and it gradually disappeared without counting the breath, Meng Xiao then woke up to the fact that if there was no curse, this little snake must be a very powerful organ.

Meng Xiao reached out into the dark compartment, touched left and right, and took out a walnut-sized, strange-shaped object from the corner, took it in his hand and looked at it, there was actually a black thread wearing, it looked like a neck ornament, and at the same time, an idea came to his mind, "Strange piece, potential 29, nine products are incomplete, and the characteristics are unknown." ”

"Trickery?" What is the name of this? Although Meng Xiao didn't know where this strange idea came from, as long as he saw any treasure artifact over the years, it would always appear at the right time, and he had no time to think about it, so Meng Xiao put it on his neck, and saw that the handscrolls flew up, and the dark grid had been restored to its original state. "Since Master asked me to put away the statue, his intention must be to let me take it away. Thinking of this, Meng Xiao got up and put away the jade flute hanging statue on the offering table, and walked out of the room quickly.

"Master instructed me to leave from the back mountain, probably for fear of alarming others. Meng Xiao pondered, returned to his room, first found something to put away the portrait of the patriarch, left and right, only a new shirt that Yunxiao had just sent a few days ago was suitable, because the weather has become cold these days, although he was a little reluctant, he still wrapped the portrait, and put away the three volumes of Chixia Gong closely, still kept the lights in his room unextinguished, quietly came to the courtyard, pricked up two ears and listened carefully.

The autumn wind gusted, the crows crows cried at night, it was a bleak scene in late autumn, and there were occasional laughter in the distance, but they were far away from their residences, and there was no sound around, so Meng Xiao quietly pulled out the door bolt and pushed open the courtyard door.

Squeak, although the voice was very soft, but it also rubbed Meng Xiao's eardrums, and when his right foot just stepped out of the hospital door, someone put his hand on his shoulder, "Who?" Meng Xiao was suddenly frightened and his hair stood on end, and the master told him to be careful, but he didn't think that someone would find out as soon as he went out.

"Shhhh ”

When Meng Xiao heard Yunxiao's voice, her heart was a little more stable, what was she doing here in the middle of the night? But before he could ask, Yunxiao urged urgently: "Hurry up, close the door and come with me." ”

Meng Xiao gently covered the courtyard door with the "baggage", and heard Yunxiao say: "You should go in and pin the courtyard door...... Forget it, it's better like this, follow me!" As soon as she pulled Meng Xiao and was about to go to her small courtyard, Meng Xiao struggled a little when she saw this, "Senior sister, what happened in the middle of the night?"

Yunxiao was swept away by Meng Xiao, obviously a little of the six gods had no master, and shook his head and said: "No, I'm not safe there, you have to hurry down the mountain to avoid the limelight." ”

"Huh?" When Meng Xiao heard this, what Yunxiao said was secretly in line with Tianjizi, could he really cause any trouble and come to the door?" "Senior sister, what's going on?"

"Let's go, I'll take you to the back mountain! You hide in the bamboo forest first, and I'll find a way to send you down the mountain tomorrow." Yunxiao pulled Meng Xiao to walk quickly, and in an instant he was already running towards the back mountain. In a hurry, she didn't notice that Meng Xiao was already carrying something in her hand, and rushed out for three or four miles in one breath before slowing down slightly, and asked Meng Xiao: "By the way, Chengzhong, I forgot to ask you, what are you doing when you go out so late?"

Meng Xiao saw that Yunxiao had just urged Zhenyuan with all his might, and it was inconvenient to talk to her, but now he slowed down, so he hesitated, "No...... Nothing, I'm going to go to the toilet. Yunxiao inadvertently found the shirt in Meng Xiao's hand, which seemed to be mixed with some things, "Go to the toilet?"

"Oh...... Oh, I thought it was a little cold at night, so I took out the shirt that my sister gave me and was about to wear it......"

"Oh. Yunxiao was no longer suspicious, identified the direction, and hesitated a little, "Chengzhong, I have to tell you something, a group of people came to the front mountain this afternoon, originally I thought it was the idiots of the Xuanzhen Sect, but when I secretly looked at it in the evening, I found out that they were from the Heavenly Master Sect." ”

Meng Xiao listened quietly, the Xuanzhen Sect had nothing to do with him, Tianshimen, that Song Yun had made a big fuss on the mountain back then, and it was for him Meng Xiao. Seeing that Meng Xiao didn't speak, Yunxiao continued: "Later, I inquired in many ways, guess what? The Heavenly Master Gate actually came for you. ”
