Anecdotes of the rivers and lakes The fifth chapter of the Scarlet Snow Heavenly Palace

The room in the Heavenly Frost Palace belonged to Shangguan You'er, and as the door of the ice cellar slowly moved, the icy cold air leaked out through the crack in the door, and another person in the Scarlet Snow Heavenly Palace completed the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage and officially exited the customs.

"Xiao You, from today on, you will inherit your master's name, Shangguan You'er is you, you are Shangguan You'er."

Shangguan Liuyun, the head of the Scarlet Snow Heavenly Palace, has been waiting outside, she is very satisfied with the cultivation and growth of this little junior, waiting for thirteen years, a total of twenty-five years of cultivation before and after, although among the small apprentices, Xiao You is not the one who takes the shortest time to complete the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Period, but she has been cultivating in the form of blinding her eyes and sealing her vision, in order to perceive the things around her, in addition to her hearing becoming very sensitive, The ability to shape with true qi to detect objects and shape things instead of vision is a big challenge and test for one's inner Dan cultivation, and Xiao You has obviously completed this cultivation achievement that ordinary immortal cultivators have not achieved.

Changing into the ice silkworm snow skirt handed to her by Shangguan Liuyun, Xiaoyou officially became Shangguan You'er, and she was also very proud and honored for it, and she did not live up to the master's expectations for her before leaving.

Shangguan You'er: "Master Liuyun, I ......"

Shangguan Liuyun: "But I'm going to change my words, the Seven Immortals of the Heavenly Palace are commensurate with sisters, and in the future, you will be the sixth senior sister among us, and there is no generational level between us." ”

Shangguan You'er nodded and said, "Well, but I'm still a little unaccustomed to it at first." ”

Shangguan Liuyun smiled and said: "The coming day is long, it will get better slowly, you have been in indoor retreat for more than ten years, and you have never tasted half of the sweet and sour mouth, come to the hall to taste the long-lost cooking skills of the senior sisters." ”

Shangguan You'er bent down and saluted, "Thank you, Senior Mother...... Senior sister cares. ”

The stone table in the hall of the party has already been filled with all kinds of specialty dishes, although it is full, but the people in front of him still bring a sense of strangeness to Shangguan You'er, in the years of her retreat, there seem to have been a lot of changes in the Scarlet Snow Palace, Hua Yue and Chiyue's mother are no longer there, and now Shangguan Huayue and Shangguan Chiyue are their apprentices Xiaohua and Xiaochi, inheriting the master's name like herself; The little pigeon is gone, and only the white pigeon is left; Qingying's mother is not there, but the apprentice Xiaoying has not inherited the name, which means that she is still in the Scarlet Snow Heavenly Palace, but she is not in the Tianshuang Palace for the time being; Only Sijing and Liuyun and their apprentices Xiaojing and Xiaoyun are the same as in the past.

Xiaoyun trotted forward and took Shangguan You'er's little hand and took her to the table, and said happily: "Everyone is waiting for You'er to come out, this feast is specially prepared for you." ”

Shangguan You'er: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work." ”

Pick up a piece of pickled radish and put it in your mouth, the sweet and sour taste brings you an unusually stimulating sensory feeling, I haven't eaten anything for a long time, I haven't tasted anything, this thirteen years of retreat time is indeed very empty and lonely, but in order to meet the master as soon as possible, no matter how difficult the days are, I have persevered.

That night, Shangguan You'er approached Shangguan Liuyun and asked to go out to find his master.

Shangguan Liuyun: "I can understand the feeling of missing the master, but don't be in a hurry in everything, stay in the Tianshuang Palace for two more days, and gather with everyone to get together?" ”

Shangguan You'er: "Senior Sister Liuyun agreed to let me go out to find a master?" ”

Shangguan Liuyun: "Of course, when You'er was still a little Youyou, I saw the deep feelings between your master and apprentice, and when your master left Tianshuang Palace that day, your reluctant senior sister was also heartbroken, how could I stop you from reuniting with your master now?" But...... You have been in retreat all these years, and there is some bad news that Senior Sister has to say to you, and you must be mentally prepared. ”

Shangguan You'er said nervously: "Could it be ...... The master encountered an accident outside?! ”

Shangguan Liuyun: "I can't be sure, during your retreat, eight years ago, there was a shocking catastrophe in the outside world called 'Tiangang Cataclysmic Day', and the top ranks of the Star Demonic Beasts descended on the world on a large scale to cause chaos, among which three Demonic Beasts were based on Bailuo Tianfeng, and even Hua Yue died tragically in their hands. ”

Shangguan You'er: "How can this be! No wonder today's flowers are small flowers! ”

Shangguan Liuyun: "Although in the end, the Star Demonic Beast was jointly defeated by the world's immortal cultivators and successfully avenged your Huayue master, but people can't be resurrected after death...... As for your master, after Si Jing and Akatsuki returned from their outing, they told me that they had found traces of your master during their participation in the crusade against the Star Beasts, and it was very likely that she was bewitched by the Star Beasts and became their puppet subordinates. ”

Shangguan You'er shook her head desperately and said in a panic: "No...... It is impossible for the master to strayed into the magic path......"

Shangguan Liuyun touched Shangguan You'er's little head as a comforter, and continued: "After all the Star Demonic Beasts were killed on the day of the Tiangang Cataclysm, your master's whereabouts were also gone, and life and death were uncertain, so Senior Sister made an agreement with you here, I will allow you to go out to find your master's whereabouts, but the time shall not exceed three months, and after three months, you will still be unable to find it, so you will accept her unfortunate ending and return to Tianshuang Palace." ”

Shangguan You'er: "I...... I ......"

Shangguan Liuyun hugged Shangguan You'er into his arms and said gently: "Since the day of the Tiangang catastrophe, there have been too many tragedies in the Tianshuang Palace, we have lost Hua Yue, Chiyue was seriously injured in the battle with the Star Demon Beast after returning, and now she can only abdicate to Xiao Chi in advance because of her poor health, and Qingying She has not returned for a long time I don't know if there is an accident outside, so You'er You must stay here, only by uniting as one can the Scarlet Snow Heavenly Palace survive the difficulties and restore the past situation." ”

Shangguan You'er: "Okay, I promise that if I can't find any trace of my master in three months, I will definitely return." ”

Three days later, Shangguan You'er simply packed up and set off to leave Bailuo Tianfeng, Shangguan Liuyun stood on the top of the mountain ravaged by wind and snow and watched Shangguan You'er's gradually disappearing figure, and Shangguan Sijing behind him was puzzled: "Sister, just let her go to find her master who was possessed by demons?" ”

Shangguan Liuyun: "Anyway, she can't find it, so let her go, so as not to worry about it all day long and affect her practice, she is a very good seedling, and her future results will not be inferior to her master, and she does not contain miscellaneous and dirty demon demonic spirits." ”

Shangguan Sijing: "Why did my sister conclude that she must not be able to find a master?" ”

The corners of Shangguan Liuyun's mouth curled, and he sneered: "The unique skills I taught each of them are connected by immortal veins, even if they never use it, they have never severed the connection, four years ago, Qingying's girl used a lot, it can be seen that she met enemies outside, as for the predecessor You'er...... Hmph, eight years ago, the day of the Tiangang Cataclysm was over, and it was cut off, and it was certain that she had already passed away. ”

Two months later, the city of Malan in the north of the Central Plains.

"Hey, the name is on the newspaper."

"Rain phase."

Feng Shuang put a fake beard on his face, plus his hair was half white after he became a demon, and not many people doubted it when he disguised himself as an old man, why didn't he dare to report his name now? Because earlier he saw other subordinates in the city pass of the Wuyi Army that those who entered the city were stopped by the guards and needed to report their names to pass, it seems that the rules that have only been added in recent years have brought a lot of inconvenience to many people who enter and leave the city, Fengshuang was unguarded and planned to truthfully report his name, but before that, through the hearing of the immortal cultivators stronger than mortals, he noticed that the doorman who was changing shifts in the corner complained about when he would end the task of catching Fengshuang, because there was no portrait, he only knew that the other party's name was Fengshuang, and he was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. can only find a needle in a haystack and secretly interrogate one by one, and all the captives are escorted to Guanzhong City to wait for the whereabouts, and it is said that three eligible people have been arrested, but the mission has not been ordered to stop.

With these ordinary people, they naturally can't help themselves, but in this way, they can't enter any towns and are known to be wanted, so Fengshuang chooses to calm down and act in disguise, maybe this can also hide the sight of the underworld at night so that he can track down their whereabouts.

After entering the city, Fengshuang walked on the street in a low-key manner, and no one would notice him, a weak old man who was defenseless, slender and not tall...... But not long after, when Fengshuang was picking apples in front of the market vendors, she noticed a gaze not far away.

Someone is constantly watching themselves?

Maple Frost pretended to hold up the apple to watch in the sun, waiting for an opportunity to scan the surroundings to find the source of her gaze, and was surprised to find that it was actually a young woman in white sitting on the table and chair outside the tea house "staring" at him, but strictly speaking, the girl covered her eyes with a blindfold, and it stands to reason that she should not be the one looking at herself, but Maple Frost confirmed that she was the only one who did not turn her head for half a moment from beginning to end, and kept her face facing herself as if she was looking.

This girl is Shangguan You'er, in order to imitate and follow the master, she has already closed her eyes, like the master through the qi to perceive everything around her, so through the "heart eye" to see the scene is different from what people see with ordinary eyes, the surrounding objects can only be shaped with true qi is more blurry than what is seen with the naked eye, but can make special judgments through the different breaths emitted by the creature, for example, the flying demon land beast that exudes demonic energy is different from ordinary birds and beasts, and mortals and immortal cultivators are also different.

And among them, the qi on her master's body is quite special, and she is the only one in the entire Tianshuang Palace, so Shangguan You'er is very confident that as long as she meets her master, no matter what she looks like, she can immediately recognize her, but in the past two months, she has traveled all over the northern cities and still has no gain.

At this moment, she found this familiar aura in Fengshuang! The reason why Maple Frost is similar to the Weaving Feather back then is precisely because they are the only humans in the world who are one with the Star Demonic Beasts.

However, Shangguan You'er hesitated and didn't dare to come forward to admit his relatives, because the person in front of him was obviously a man through contour shaping, and no matter how much the master disguised himself, he couldn't become a man, right? So she repeatedly observed Maplefrost's every move.

To say that Shangguan You'er's appearance is naturally extraordinary in the eyes of everyone, in addition to the dress woven with Bailuo Tianfeng's hundred-year-old ice silk, in order to imitate the master's slender and soft snow hair, she dyed her hair gray with frost breath, and the condensed ice crystal snowflakes inadvertently became a delicate headdress for her, which looked quite holy, that is, if you get a little closer, you will obviously feel the temperature drop suddenly......

Shangguan You'er felt that Feng Shuang looked like a master, and at the same time, Feng Shuang also recalled that the woman in front of her was very similar to the weaving feather he was pursuing, and was hesitating whether to come forward to greet and inquire, only to see the Wuyi army guards holding wine jugs shamelessly accosting Shangguan You'er, and one of them bluntly asked her to accompany the wine.

The shopkeeper and the surrounding customers did not dare to speak, if it was said that the hooligans could sue them for disturbing the people's livelihood, but the person who came was the local snake, it would be useless.

Just when Shangguan You'er was about to make a little effort to make the hand on his shoulder immediately frostbite, Fengshuang took the initiative to step forward and shouted, "Are you embarrassed to bully a little girl?" ”

"Yo? You stinky little old man dare to meddle in your business? ”

"Look at you as a foreigner, we don't even know us, today educate you what the rules of Malan City are!"

However, the two of them punched and kicked with drunkenness, and Fengshuang didn't make a move at all, just dodged, and finally they tripped themselves and lay down on the street in public, causing everyone to watch.

"Damn, why can't you beat him?!"

"You little old man stand still, I'll call someone to clean you up right away!"

But he didn't need to invite people to have other soldiers of the Wuyi Army to come, and scolded them, "I'm lazy again, hurry up to the city gate" and dragged them away to serve.

Shangguan You'er: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me." ”

Fengshuang touched the fake beard to confirm that it was still stuck to her face, and asked, "Huh? Do I look like a young man? ”

Shangguan You'er: "Isn't it?" But no matter how I look at your majesty, you are not more than twenty years old. ”

Feng Shuang scratched her head and thought that her disguise still couldn't be hidden, but the woman in front of her should not be an ordinary person, and it was very likely that she was also an immortal cultivator.

Maple Frost: "That...... Aren't you blindfolded? Can you see me? ”

Shangguan You'er pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "You can see, I follow my master's example, and look at everyone with my heart rather than my eyes." ”

Maple Frost: "I see...... Is that girl really staring at me all the time? ”

Shangguan You'er said shyly: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience...... I just think that your temperament is very similar to my master, but my master is not a man, I am looking for my master, maybe you know about her whereabouts. ”

Feng Shuang said confusedly: "I'm sorry, among the friends I remember, none of the friends I know are high enough to become the head of a faction...... But speaking of similarities, you are also very similar to a girl I know who is older than me, she is dressed in white like you, blind but can see things around her, can you teach your master's name? ”

Shangguan You'er: "Shangguan You'er, but now that she has left the portal, I have inherited her name." ”

Maple Frost didn't know Oriyu's previous name in the Crimson Snow Heavenly Palace, including the moth who also called her Oriyu, so she wasn't familiar with this name.

Fengshuang: "It's a pity that my friend's name is Zhiyu and not the girl's teacher, but in the future, if I meet someone who is also named Shangguan You'er, I will try my best to inform You'er girl, I still have something to do and retire first." ”

Shangguan You'er: "Childe seems to have something important?" You might as well tell You'er that you may be able to help Childe a little, and you can't just let Childe do the work for me. ”

Fengshuang scratched her head and said: "But what I have to do is extremely dangerous, I told you that the female friend who is similar to Miss You'er is the person I want to save on this trip, but she fell into the hands of the people of the Evil Dao of the Rivers and Lakes who are in the Hades at night, they are numerous and proficient in the method of living corpses and demons, and the girl of You'er can't follow me to take risks." ”

Shangguan You'er: "You'er is not afraid, and since he is a person similar to me, he must also be similar to his master, and You'er also wants to save his son's friend Miss Zhiyu." ”

Maple Frost: "That...... Okay, but Miss You'er, remember, don't worry about me if my life is in danger, and run away immediately. ”

The reason why Feng Shuang agreed was because he really needed the assistance of a teammate who was also an immortal cultivator, and after the previous battle with Corpse Luoan, he realized that as long as he was seriously injured or overused his demonic power, the Earth Observation Star Demonic Beast in his body would wait for an opportunity to occupy control of his body, so he couldn't carry all the burden on himself, and he couldn't easily use all his strength.

Shangguan You'er: "Don't know the name of the son?" ”

Maple Frost: "Call me...... The rain phase is good. ”

Shangguan You'er smiled and said, "If you don't mind, please allow You'er to call Brother Yuxiang, and please give me more advice in the future." ”

Two strangers who have never met each other, but they are inextricably linked, and under the coincidence of God's arrangement, they have embarked on different paths and return to the same place.
