As Chizuru stood at the foot of the steps, she suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart and turned her head to look north.

Qi Feng noticed that the other party was abnormal, so he asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

"No, it's just a little inexplicable, but I can't tell you what it feels like."

"Don't waste any more time, go up the mountain."

Without further ado, Chizuru stepped up the stone steps and then took it back.

"Huh? So not? ”

Chizuru pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Is there anyone watching from the top of the mountain?" Can you make him turn around, I'm not used to being stared at. ”

"Less nonsense, go up the mountain!"

An invisible True Qi pushed Chizuru behind him, pushing him onto the stone steps.

As soon as he entered the mountain trail, he suddenly felt a double of pressure.

"I was in a hurry to go out and didn't eat, if only I had something to eat."

He went up the mountain half hungry and half thirsty, and climbed two hundred steps out of breath, and then fell into a fog.

Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance and said in surprise: "Osmanthus cake!" ”

Following the fragrance, Chizuru successfully found the tea garden of the second pavilion master.

The second pavilion master was cooking three pots of tea as always, and when he saw Chizuru coming, he said softly, "Come and have a cup of tea." ”

Chizuru sat unceremoniously opposite the second pavilion master, her eyes locked on a plate of pastries on the table.

"Here are three more cups of tea, one in your left hand, you can ......"

The second pavilion lord stopped, and saw Chizuru quietly reach for his hand on the plate and pick up a piece of pastry.

Chizuru also noticed that the second pavilion master was looking at him, and the hand that picked up the pastry stopped in the air, looking embarrassed.

"I ...... Can you try it? ”

"This is for you, but no one else has ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Chizuru took the plate whole.

The second pavilion master looked at the gobbling thousand cranes, and didn't know how to describe it, so he could only ask silently: "Why did you come here alone at your age." ”

"It's so boring at home," Chizuru said over and over again, eating pastries over and over again, "Everyone is chattering, and I can't understand a word of what they say." ”

"Indeed, I used to do the same."

Chizuru stuffed the snack in his mouth, but he was suddenly choked, and without thinking much about it, he picked up the tea in the middle and drank it all.

The second pavilion master seemed to be out of his mind, and when he reacted, the tea was already in his stomach.

"Oh no, how can I set him this cup of tea."

Qiancheng smoothed his chest, exhaled comfortably, suddenly felt dizzy, and then fell asleep on the table.

"He was young and mentally immature...... Alas, I shouldn't have put this cup of tea on the table. ”

In her dream, Chizuru saw a table not far away, on which were filled with all kinds of fish, each of which was exquisitely cooked.

He quickly ran to the table, picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up the food.

Suddenly, a figure gradually condensed on the seat opposite him, and Chizuru looked at it, it was the Thousand Cities that had only been separated not long ago.

"A thousand cities! I knew it was yours! ”

"Do you like it?"

"Of course!"

He picked up the food and put it in his mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax, but because Qiancheng had been sitting opposite him, he didn't notice anything unusual, thinking that he was too happy that his favorite fish had no taste.

"Chizuru, can you tell me why you want to cultivate?"

"Why do you want to cultivate...... I don't know, it's come to this point. ”

Chizuru spat out the fish bones and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as I can stay by your side, I can do anything?" ”

"That's right." The "Thousand Cities" opposite Chizuru seemed to be thoughtful, and then asked Chizuru, "What if you never see me again?" ”

"How is that possible, aren't you here?"

"I've always been ......here," Qiancheng's smiling face slowly deepened, and he said to Qianhe with reluctance in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving......"

As soon as Qianzuru's movements stopped, Qiancheng, who was still laughing and laughing before, disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The second pavilion master was still having a headache about how to deal with Chizuru, but he saw Chizuru raise his head suddenly, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

"A Thousand Cities...... A Thousand Cities! ”

Chizuru turned around and ran down the mountain, but the 200 steps when he went up the mountain seemed to have no end at the moment.

He saw a young man, sitting cross-legged on a rock beside the steps.

The boy kept looking at Chizuru, but Chizuru didn't have the heart to pay attention to the other party.

After walking for a long time, Chizuru saw the boy again.

The other party was still sitting on the stone, just looking at Chizuru without saying a word.

Subsequently, Chizuru saw the other party for the third time, and this time, the other party asked, "What is the matter with the hurry?" ”

"It's none of your business."

As Chizuru was about to leave, a vast sea suddenly appeared, flooding everything around him, until it reached the steps at his feet.

He wanted to turn into a white crane and fly into the air, but found that his true qi was locked and he couldn't use it.

Immediately, he wanted to use the power of the golden crane's bloodline, but he still couldn't use it.

Chizuru noticed something unusual, turned to the boy and asked, "What did you do to me?" ”

"Hehe, Ziwei Mountain is my territory, I can do whatever I want."

"But I must go down the mountain."

The boy changed his movements, lay on his side on the stone, and asked Chizuru with a puzzled expression, "Why do you have to go down the mountain?" ”

"My brother, I'm going to find my brother!"

"Why?"

"If you don't look for him now, you won't see him again!"

"Why?"

"How can there be so many questions! Please let me go. ”

The young man showed a sad face, "If I lose you, it will be difficult for the valley lord to deal with you." ”

"No, the valley master won't know."

"Poof, do you take the valley lord for a fool?" The young man showed an old face, and carefully persuaded Chizuru: "The most difficult thing in the world to cultivate is the heart, the more you are afraid, the closer you will be, if you want to see your brother, don't think about it, when you don't care about his departure, he will naturally come back." ”

"How could I not care!"

"Therefore, the most difficult thing in the world to cultivate is the mind."

The young man got up slowly, patted the dust on his body, and said, "Look at your appearance, I can't continue, alas, I have to leave you at the top of the mountain again, so I can take care of it, it's really a headache." ”

"Don't bother, I'll just be an ordinary disciple."

"You think beautifully, if you don't arrange you under your nose, I'm afraid that no one will even be able to sleep well."

With a wave of his hand, an invisible true qi lifted the thousand cranes up and flew towards the top of the mountain quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Chizuru came to an empty room, and when he looked around, he saw the young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, and in front of him hung an apparition of the stone steps leading to the top of the mountain.

Chizuru sat in front of the boy in confusion and asked, "I say, who are you?" ”

"You give me some respect, I look young, but if you really count it carefully, I will be hundreds of years younger than the valley master."

"Oh, who is that senior?"

"Do you really not understand, or do you pretend to be ignorant and want to go down the mountain while I'm not looking."

He sighed and said boredly: "Listen, I am the head of Xingluo Daozong, the head of Ziwei, and everyone in the world calls me, Shuyun Tai Sui Gu Dongzhou." ”
