After breakfast the next day, Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong came to Xu Jingyun's small building, Xu Jingyun took the master and apprentice to the two rooms on the first floor for a turn, and then returned to the terrace on the second floor.

The three of them sat down around the tea table, Xu Jingyun added two pieces of charcoal to the small stove where the water was boiling, filled the pot with spring water, and began to make tea.

Tang Qiuyu looked at the lake and said softly, "Senior sister, your small building is really a good place to practice. ”

"If you like it, senior sister, stay in Phoenix Mountain for a few more days, taste the mountain treasures on the mountain, and you can also practice at the same time. Xu Jingyun took out some tea leaves and picked them up in his hands.

Tang Qiuyu thought for a while before saying, "I want to stay a few more days, but after you break through the realm, I will have to go to the Eastern Regions with Wutong, or it will snow, and the road will not be easy to walk." ”

"I brought Wutong out this time because I wanted her to see the world, and sometimes the practice on the road may not be as simple as hiding in the mountains. ”

Xu Jingyun poured out the kettle and said, "This is also true, Wushuang and I have only been back from the Eastern Regions for a year, and we can indeed gain a lot of opportunities on the road." ”

Xu Jingyun thought of Li Ye and Mr. Mo who he met in Fengyun City, and thought about the changes of Wushuang by Li Ye's side and the cultivation method given by Mr. Mo, which shortened his cultivation by at least twenty years.

The two were chatting, and Miss Wushuang came back from outside with a bamboo basket, looked at Xia Wutong and said, "Senior sister, I will go around the mountains to see if I can pick some delicious food and come back." ”

Tang Qiuyu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, just be careful, don't run too far." ”

Xia Wutong got up and nodded with the master, took the young lady's hand, and the two went downstairs one after the other.

Xu Jingyun looked at the two small figures outside the building, like two cheerful butterflies, and said faintly: "Looking at these two little guys, it seems that I have returned to yesterday, and my senior sister is also holding my hand like this, like two happy butterflies." ”

Tang Qiuyu was stunned, then laughed, and said: "The knife of the years has killed both you and my sisters, fortunately, the speed of our cultivation has not fallen, otherwise this will be two yellow-faced women." ”

......

Today's Phoenix Mountain is cloudy, and cloudy days are suitable for mountain climbing.

Shangguan Wushuang took Xia Wutong's little hand and walked happily in the mountain road behind the big lake, the mountain road was curved like a snake, and it was difficult to see the end.

In autumn, most of the leaves on Phoenix Mountain have been dyed red, and the mountain road is covered with red leaves, and the two of them walked all the way like two flying elves.

After climbing several bends, through a forest, and around several vegetable fields, the two came to the edge of a waterfall after climbing over a rocky cliff.

Under the waterfall is a pool, the pool is about five zhang wide, the stones on the side have been very smooth after years of washing, and the water of the pool flows down the mountain along the surrounding stone cracks.

Shangguan Wushuang pointed to the big lake under the mountain and said, "Senior sister, the lake in front of our building flows down from here. ”

Xia Wutong looked at the big lake under the mountain, like a crescent moon around the small wooden building, and said softly: "Looking down from here, the place where you and your uncle live is like a fairy's cave, which is enviable." ”

The young lady led Xia Wutong to step on the stones on the water, followed the direction of the water upstream, and walked into a deep canyon with those bubbling streams.

The canyon is about three zhang wide, the height is not more than twenty zhang, the giant trees above the sky, there are some branches growing from both sides of the canyon to the middle, the air in the valley is moist and slightly cold, there are moss pieces on the wall, and the trickle that flows out quietly.

As I walked, the canyon narrowed suddenly, and the water between the rocks was much more turbulent than the water flowing downstream, and the moss on the rocks shook violently.

Walking out of the canyon, you will be greeted by a paradise, with ancient trees in the sky, unknown wild flowers, and the frightened bird spreads its wings and flies up the branches from the ground, nervously watching the two uninvited guests chirp.

The hares foraging among the flowers also pricked up their ears to look at the two young ladies approaching, ready to flee at any time. Xia Wutong held the young lady's hand tightly, looked at the scenery in front of her, and was speechless.

The two climbed the mountain road for an hour and a half, and finally came to this fairyland on earth.

The two of them quietly walked into this world, and the mountain scenery here and outside seemed to be two completely different worlds.

The outside world is already the cool season of autumn, everything is withering, and the leaves are yellow.

And here seems to be no change of seasons, still revealing a strong sense of spring, surrounded by green leaves, birds singing and flowers, life is a fairyland on earth.

Xia Wutong looked at the surrounding scenery and picked two small white flowers, one for the young lady to wear in her ears, and the other on her head.

I had mixed feelings for a while, and I couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, I said softly: "Phoenix Mountain...... The season is really beautiful and beautiful. ”

The young lady said: "Phoenix Mountain has always been very beautiful, but it is more beautiful here. ”

Xia Wutong said: "Senior sister, you should come here often to play." ”

The young lady took out a bag of pastries, took out the kettle, and took out a cyan cloth from the space bracelet and spread it on the grass.

Carefully placed the pastry in the middle of the cloth, stretched out his hand to pull Xia Wutong to sit down, and said softly: "I rarely come here, the master watches it closely and wants me to practice hard." ”

Xia Wutong was stunned. blurted out: "I didn't expect my uncle to be so strict with you, much stricter than my master." ”

"There is no way, I have a low start, I am the worst disciple in the sect, the master said that if you can't enter the Jindan at the age of fifteen, you can't leave the sect to practice. The young lady picked up the kettle and took a sip of water.

Xia Wutong laughed when he heard this, and said while laughing: "Uncle Shi is scaring you, haven't you seen that there are many senior sisters in your sect who are over fifteen years old and still building the foundation realm?"

The young lady thought the same, and laughed with Xia Wutong. I thought: The master is really scared of himself.

The young lady picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, savored the pastry and slowly melted it in her mouth, picked it up and handed it to Xia Wutong, and both of them laughed happily.

Xia Wutong looked at the young lady who was eating happily and asked, "Senior sister, what realm are you in now, and how long have you been practicing with your uncle...... Where's your weapon?"

She originally wanted to ask the young lady if she was fighting with herself, to see if her uncle's disciple was powerful or her uncle's disciple was powerful, because the good master had been thinking about this matter all the time, and it had become a disease in her heart.

Fortunately, she had put it down yesterday, but she wanted to be a pair of good sisters with her little sister for a long time, and she didn't want the past grievances between her master and uncle to be related to her.

The young lady lay on the ground, did not look back, and said: "Not long after I broke through the sixth level of foundation building, I learned swordsmanship from my master, what about you, senior sister?"

Xia Wutong looked at her back and pondered for a moment before replying: "I am one realm higher than you, and I have just broken through, and both of me are practicing swordsmanship. ”

The young lady said: "Our master is taught by one master, and it is not uncommon to learn the same exercises, and even the swordsmanship of the two of us is likely to be the same, but it does not prevent us from practicing higher swordsmanship in the future, senior sister, do you say this is the truth." ”

Xia Wutong did not answer this question immediately, but lowered his head and thought carefully.

The young lady picked up another pastry with you, stuffed it into her mouth, took out a silk scarf and carefully wiped off the cake powder on the side of her mouth, and then began to chew the pastry slowly.

Xia Wutong stood up with his hands on the ground, looked at the ancient tree in the sky, and said: "Senior sister, let's try to see how big a branch can be cut with a sword, so that it can't hurt our sisters' feelings, and we can have an explanation for our respective masters, do you think it?"

The young lady vaguely understood some of the things Xia Wutong was thinking, and said helplessly: "Senior sister, in fact, I don't think there is any need to compete, you are higher than my realm, you must be better than me." Isn't it just a simple matter, don't you believe in yourself?"

After saying this, she slowly turned to look at the white clouds floating in the sky, and took a deep breath after being silent for a long time.

He said faintly: "I don't know how many years you and I sisters will have to practice before we can reach the realm of master and uncle." ”

Xia Wutong looked at the young lady lying on the ground, did not speak, thought about it, and with a wave of her little hand, a three-foot green blade glowing with blue appeared in her hand.

I saw her concentrate on her energy, and the true qi in the dantian surged into her arms, kicked her feet, jumped up in an instant, and slashed towards the ancient tree on the edge of the meadow.

Hearing the sound of "whoop!", a branch thicker than an arm about two zhang above the ancient tree was cut down by Xia Wutong's leaping sword and fell softly under the ancient tree.

clasped his hands into fists, looked at the young lady on the ground and said, "Senior sister, please also make a sword, even if it is an explanation to the two masters, okay?"

Before she could finish speaking, she didn't see the young lady take out her sword, and a wisp of wind blew by her side, only to hear the sound of "Boom!".

A branch fell from about three feet above the ancient tree, lying quietly on the side of the branch that Xia Wutong had cut down before, the size and thickness were exactly the same.

There was no wind in the silence of this moment, just a little cool, and there was a little floral smell in the air.

Xia Wutong covered her mouth, she didn't even see when the young lady made a move, let alone saw the sword, she looked at the young lady like a ghost and said, "Senior sister, you are not building the foundation but Jindan!"

The young lady's face was a little red, and she said shyly: "That senior sister, I am really in the realm of building the foundation of the sixfold, but I only occasionally sensed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi a few days ago. The master said that this is something that only happens to the Jindan realm, and I just advanced it. When it comes to fighting, I can't beat you. ”

Xia Wutong was angry, pounced on the young lady, pinched her little face with both hands, and roared: "That's it, you still say that you can't beat me, see if I don't clean you up today." ”

While reaching out to Miss Ha's itch, he scolded with a smile: "You are obviously better than me, and you pretend that you can't beat me." Okay, little girl, you actually learned to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. ”

The young lady was giggled by Xia Wutong, begging for mercy and resisting. smiled and said: "Senior sister, I really didn't lie to you, my master hasn't taught me how to fight with people, I really can't beat you now, you can spare me." ”

Xia Wutong didn't believe it and fought with her.

After fighting for a long time, the two finally fell tired on the grass.
