The sword peak behind Zhushan is tall and steep, shaped like a giant sword, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only an extremely narrow path can lead to it in the front. The vegetation on the cliffs is sparse, but the summit of Sword Peak is lush.

Halfway up the mountain, two figures were climbing along a stone path no more than a foot wide.

Li Xuanji was in front, Jin Ling was behind, and the former pulled the latter to crawl forward slightly on this steep and dangerous stone step.

When Li Xuanji asked Jin Ling to accompany him to the top of the sword blade before, Lie Yan was also very excited, and he wanted to follow him. But when it followed Li Xuanji to Jian Feng's feet, it was completely dumbfounded. The road on Sword Peak is as narrow as a sheep's intestine path, winding up between rocky cliffs, and there is no end in sight. Lieyan's originally fiery heart instantly cooled down, and after it tried to climb more than a dozen times, but was bruised and swollen, it completely gave up this idea and turned around and left directly.

"Ahh......h I'm so tired!I'm so tired!" Jin Ling said breathlessly, holding on to a standing rock, his forehead already dripping with sweat.

Li Xuanji took out a hand towel to wipe her sweat, and then took out a kettle from the Qiankun bag and handed it to her.

Jin Ling took a few big sips before putting down the kettle and asked strangely, "Childe...... Why do you have to walk up here?"

Originally, with her ability, she didn't have to climb the mountain so hard, and wherever she wanted to go was a matter of blink of an eye. But I don't know why, when she climbed the Sword Peak, her haste ability lost its effect, no matter how she activated it, it had no effect, at most it just made her skin glow with a little golden light. In desperation, she had to climb up step by step with Li Xuanji, and she had rested several times in a row from the foot of the mountain to here, how could she feel so tired and tortured before?

Li Xuanji looked up at the capping that was gradually approaching, he was in a very comfortable mood, and explained to Jin Ling softly: "On top of this sword blade, don't say that your speed magic power can't be used, even my sword flight can't be used, and even the head senior brother and all the elders can't use any magic spells!"

"Ahh

It is said that after the patriarch founded the Qingzhumen here, he divided this sword peak into the forbidden place of the Qingzhumen, and built an ancestral hall on the peak, and the spiritual seats of the elders of the future generations were enshrined here. And the patriarch has set up a great array of gods on top of this sword blade, and no one who comes to the sword blade in the future will be able to use supernatural powers or spells to express his respect for the elders of the Qingzhu Sect in the past generations!"

"Wow, he's so good!" Jin Ling exclaimed after listening to his explanation.

Li Xuanji smiled and didn't continue.

Legends are just legends, unreliable and unreliable, and no one knows what the facts are. There were a lot of strange things on the Sword Peak, but the heads and elders kept them secretive and never mentioned them. Even Nangong Xiuyun, who lived on the Sword Peak all the year round, didn't want to mention this matter more. However, this does not hinder Li Xuanji's usual life, just climbing the mountain, and exercising, so he doesn't bother to care about it.

After resting enough, Li Xuanji picked up Jin Ling and continued to climb the steps along the narrow path.

There was a faint mist around them, and the cloud-like water vapor slowly drifted between the cliffs.

When the two of them found that the plants and trees around them were gradually increasing, they realized that they had unconsciously climbed to the peak of Sword Peak.

When I looked up, I saw a dense purple bamboo forest. I don't know how many dark purple bamboos there are, densely packed, blocking the sight of the two people. Above it are verdant bamboo leaves, like umbrellas, blocking out the sunlight in the sky. A unique stone path leads to the depths of the bamboo forest. The purple bamboo cane that Li Xuanji used when he first came out of the mountain was taken from here. It's just that the purple bamboo is the hardest one here, and it varies from one mutant to another.

"Let's go, Jin Ling, there is the ancestral hall not far ahead, he should be inside. ”

Li Xuanji zigzagged along the path in the forest, followed by Jin Ling. After walking less than a cup of tea, the purple bamboo forest was gone, and the front suddenly became clear, and a quaint hall stood in front. The main hall is very old, many times older than those pavilions and houses on Zhushan. It's not dilapidated, but there's nothing to praise about it. Above the door of the temple hangs a gray plaque, with a wood grain road, written in two ancient fonts - ancestral hall!

"Master, I'm back!"

Li Xuanji shouted and fell, but there was no sound from inside, and he didn't care.

Pulling Jin Ling to the door, he pushed the dark wooden door to both sides. In front of the wall was an offering table, and above the table was a staircase-like table frame, on which were placed layers of spiritual seats, as many as one or two hundred.

On the ground in front of the offering table, there was a bamboo mat, on which a middle-aged man was sleeping. The man was dressed in a shabby robe, lying on his side, his long hair combed into a ponytail and tied behind his head with a plain rope. He was barefoot, and the robe that slipped down next to him revealed two ** legs, with fine leg hair growing on them. A bamboo fan is thrown on the bamboo mat, and a pair of simple clogs are placed next to it.

Li Xuanji almost stroked his forehead and sighed, he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"Master, can you check it out?"

Nangong Xiuyun yawned and muttered, "Check the fart, haven't I been like this for so many years? It's really a long time to see! There are just two of us on the mountain, who should I check and show it to? It's better to be at ease like this!"

Li Xuanji whispered with a tangled face: "But...... But today there is a guest ......"

"Guest?" Nangong Xiuyun turned around, revealing a handsome face. The bridge of the nose is straight, the eyebrows are as long as a sword, and the eyes are deep and revealing a little vicissitudes, he is completely a handsome and handsome man, but the short and messy stubble on the chin destroys all the image.

Li Xuanji was silent. Jin Ling was curiously observing the strange man in front of him.

Seeing that there was really a stranger coming, and it was a beautiful girl, Nangong Xiuyun's face was embarrassed, she hurriedly got up, and scolded while sorting out her clothes: "Stinky boy, you didn't say anything in advance when you brought your daughter-in-law back, you deliberately want to see the master mess up......"

Li Xuanji hurriedly interrupted his words: "Master, don't talk nonsense. She's not my daughter-in-law! Her name is Jin Ling, and she's the girl I brought back from outside. Because it's something special, I'm bringing her to meet you. ”

Nangong Xiuyun was immediately dissatisfied: "Stinky boy, if it's not your daughter-in-law, you dare to take her to Jianfeng? and come to see your master's jokes? What's so special? Isn't it just a beautiful little girl? If you like it, just say it, don't play tricks in front of your master." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Xuanji, and said in slight surprise: "Hey, when you go out to cultivate, you are about to enter the realm of transformation, no wonder you have become bolder." If you rise a little to the realm, you dare to bring back a woman, if you enter the realm of metamorphosis or even higher in the future, you will not be able to discharge a three palaces and six courtyards?"

"......" Li Xuanji was choked lightly, and said weakly: "You better see for yourself, I believe you can see it yourself!"

Jin Ling shook his shoulder curiously and asked in a low voice, "Ah......hh What is a daughter-in-law, and what are the three palaces and six courtyards?"

Nangong Xiuyun was about to tease this ignorant girl, but when he really noticed Jin Ling, his eyebrows raised.

"Huh, it's really unusual!"

He walked up to Jin Ling and looked at her with a smile, his eyes shining with excitement, as if he had seen something new. If you let others see it, you think it's the blame Shu Huang bullying the ignorant girl. Jin Ling was chilled by him, and hid behind Li Xuanji in fear.

Nangong Xiuyun didn't care about her eyes, but stared at the bulging bun on the top of her head, stretched out his hand to pull the two buns apart, and saw a pair of golden ears pop out instantly.

Jin Ling angrily reached out and knocked his palm off, and then tried to hide his ear in his bun again. But he didn't succeed in trying to figure it out, so he immediately pouted and glared at him!

"Oh, it turned out that the spirit fox turned into a human, and it was also from the Golden Ear family, which is really rare. Nangong Xiuyun was still not too surprised, but frowned and wondered: "But why did you leave a pair of golden ears?"

Li Xuanji nodded and said: "When I met Jin Ling, she hadn't transformed yet, and she only transformed into a human after eating a spirit fruit, but she left two ears and a tail. I brought her here to ask you, Master, to think of a way to make Jin Ling completely transform into a human and become no different from a human being. ”

"Spirit fruit? This is fresh, it's the first time I've heard of it. Nangong Xiuyun was surprised, and then said with a smile: "It seems that you have encountered a lot of interesting things when you go out of the mountain this time, come and tell me what you have experienced along the way, and what the outside world is like now." ”

Seeing him so excited and curious, Li Xuanji felt a lot of sympathy and admiration in his heart. After being locked up in a prison for a hundred years, how many people can endure this loneliness?

Li Xuanji re-told his master about his experience, and it was even more detailed than the last time, especially what he saw and heard in the outside world, and it was refreshing to hear Nangong Xiuyun!

"Haha, boy, I really didn't notice that you still have such bad luck. The Purple Dragon Emperor's mausoleum was discovered by you, and you also got the divine soldiers and a bunch of elixirs he buried. How domineering this person was back then, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was invincible across the continent and created a super dynasty. It is said that he has tens of millions of beauties in the harem, singing every night, and the beauties are not used up in turns. This kind of peerless master is really the envy of the master! I didn't expect that you would rob the tomb 10,000 years later, it's really a turn of feng shui!" Nangong Xiuyun laughed.

"......" Li Xuanji nagged silently in his heart, do you really envy his peerless cultivation?

"But that Ling Zhanye is really short-sighted, he dares to look down on my Nangong Xiuyun's apprentice, and let you lower your status and compete with those who are not in the stream to test spiritual arts. He ended up with a broken bag and an old horse, and he was not sincere. But it's not a disadvantage to be able to take a bath and play in the water with his precious daughter for more than half a month! And the group of bad old men in the Lingyin Sect and behind the Mingyang Chamber of Commerce are not honest again, and they want to make benefits in the secular world, it's really good to forget the pain and forget the pain, and can't remember the lesson. ”

"......" Li Xuanji didn't justify the matter of himself and Ling Cangyue 'taking a bath', but felt a little sad for Ling Zhanye. Ling Zhanye was full of admiration after hearing about Nangong Xiuyun, and he had a feeling of being a hero and cherishing a hero. But Nangong Xiuyun's side is a different matter at all! If he hears what Nangong Xiuyun said, I'm afraid he will vomit blood.

Nangong Xiuyun teased and then sighed: "As for this person's sinister heart, it has been like this since ancient times! These conspiracies and plots you have encountered are just some appetizers compared to your future path. As long as you keep a vigilant heart at all times and work hard. When you are weak, you should be careful, avoid what you can, and protect your own safety is the first priority, if you are strong...... Hmph, just go up and hit him so hard that he doesn't even know the!"

Li Xuanji nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he asked, "What about the golden spirit......

Nangong Xiuyun thought for a while and said, "This girl turned into a shape because she ate your spirit fruit and got your full help. As for why she didn't succeed in all her transformations, I think there are two reasons. The first is that the spirit fruit you get is not a spirit fruit that has matured naturally to perfection, although I don't know its specific effect, but it is obviously not ripe and the medicinal power is not enough;

"What should I do then?" Li Xuanji said with a slight disappointment.

Nangong Xiuyun didn't answer, but stood up and walked to Jin Ling, who was full of vigilance.

"Don't move. He turned Jin Ling's body around, and then his fingers quickly clicked on the back of her head and tail vertebrae, and after a halo flashed, his fingers had been withdrawn.

"Ahh

But when I touched my buttocks, the shame on my face turned to surprise, "Hmm, no, my tail ......."

Li Xuanji looked at the pair of pink normal ears behind Jin Ling's face and laughed.

Nangong Xiuyun explained: "I just used spiritual magic to seal her ears and tail, but this seal is not strong. When she encounters something special, her blood is stimulated, and her ears and tail will still come out on her own. When the impulse of the blood dies down, the ears and tail are hidden. ”

"That's enough, thank you, Master. Li Xuanji thanked him, and then beckoned to Jin Ling: "Jin Ling, come over and say thank you." ”

“...... Thank you. Jin Ling was very obedient, but his eyes were still hostile to Nangong Xiuyun.

"Forget it. Stinky boy, get out, Master, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me if it's okay. Nangong Xiuyun waved his hand.

Li Xuanji turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned his head and asked, "Master, that dragon slaying sword and that spell ......"

"Go and go, don't want Master and me to take the dragon sword to make trouble, what is yours is yours, and I can't use it if I give it to me. As for that technique, it is something imprinted into your consciousness, you can't teach me, you have to put more effort into understanding it yourself, and it will be of great benefit to you in the future. And remember to practice diligently in that nameless exercise, keep your distance from this girl, and don't forget that you practice Tongzi Gong. Alright, that's all I have to say, get out of here!"

Li Xuanji didn't say anything more, and pulled Jin Ling out of the ancestral hall with an embarrassed face, and turned away.

Nangong Xiuyun looked at his departing figure with a complicated face, and made a few gestures in his palm at random, and a Dao rune appeared, and the shadow of his palm was unpredictable, and even the space around his hands trembled like water waves.

"Stinky boy, what kind of luck have you handed over! Originally, I wanted to wait for another twenty or thirty years to teach you this 'Demon Breaker', but I didn't expect you to get it yourself so quickly. As everyone knows, the more you get, the more you bear. I don't know if this will be beneficial or unhelpful to you......"
