Chapter 22: Opening the Knot
Autumn is deep.
The maple leaves on both sides of Yunran Sect fell flutteringly, and the autumn wind was quite mild, perhaps guessed, today is the day of reunion.
The woman stood in the air, and the disciples saluted her, which couldn't help but move her.
She has been down the mountain for many years, and even some new disciples don't know her anymore, she thought that even if it was to greet her, it would just be Lu Zizhen and a few people to deal with it, but she didn't expect the pomp and circumstance of the sect to be so big.
"Wang Muning has seen all of you junior brothers and sisters!"
She also bowed her hand in return, and when the words fell, she followed and said, "Get up!" ”
Li Chenji and Lu Zizhen and a group of personal disciples came over, some of these personal disciples she knew, and some she didn't know.
In addition to the main peak, the Yunran Sect also has eight peaks, wrapping the main peak in the middle, that is to say, excluding the sect master's vein, there are still eight peak veins.
The order of the eight peaks is called, Cloud, Spirit, Yao, Law, Snow, Mist, Chen, and Moon.
Each peak has a peak master, and the disciples of the eight peak veins are naturally innumerable, in addition to the sect master's one vein and the eight peak veins, there are also some elders large and small.
The outer gate, the inner gate, and the personal inheritance, the total number of people in the entire sect is more than hundreds of thousands.
However, it is impossible to greet Wang Muning, after all, some disciples go out, and some go on tasks to inspect the realm or something.
"Senior sister, it's been a hard journey!"
It was a little fat man who said this, he was a personal disciple of the sect master's lineage, ranking fifth.
It's called Rong Haoyu.
Wang Muning looked at Rong Haoyu's figure, hating that iron could not become steel, "Old Five, you have that time to eat, isn't it good to practice for a while?" ”
"Look at your belly, just say these two words and you will be out of breath, what will you do if you meet the enemy outside?"
Rong Haoyu is only twelve years old, and he is two years older than the little girl among the personal disciples.
There are a total of six personal disciples, the little girl is the smallest, ranking sixth, Lu Zizhen is the fourth, Shi Qianrou is the third, Li Chenji is the second, and Wang Muning is the eldest.
"Hehe, senior sister, you know, you can just beat me, but you can't stop me from eating!"
Wang Muning is already very kind to Rong Haoyu's little girl, if it was Li Chenji, Lu Zizhen and others, she would have scolded her.
"It's okay, then I'll beat you up!"
Rong Haoyu was stunned, why didn't his senior sister play cards according to common sense!
"Senior sister, let's go to the advanced sect." Shi Qianrou smiled and relieved Rong Haoyu.
"Yes, yes, advanced sect, advanced sect." Rong Haoyu said that the person had already hid in the crowd.
"Let's go!"
Wang Muning shook her head gently, her junior brothers and sisters are too uncompetitive, they either play or eat, and they don't practice if they do anything.
Beginning with her, everyone followed closely and slowly entered the sect.
"I heard that Senior Sister is already in the middle stage of her marriage."
"Hey, it's a lie, can you go down the mountain for a few years to cultivate so quickly?"
"It seems that I also have to find a time to go down the mountain, can't I say that there are many opportunities under the mountain?"
Regarding the fact that Wang Muning is already in the middle stage of the Yudan, some people are shocked, and some people are skeptical.
It is true that the main peak vein has more resources than other peak veins, and the cultivation is also higher, but it is impossible to go anywhere.
To be able to become a disciple of the personal lineage, everyone also has two brushes, how could they be thrown so far away by you.
"Cut, my peak Senior Brother Li Yuanxin is also in retreat, impacting the Dan Period, and this time I will definitely become a monk in the Dan Period." A Yunfeng disciple was extremely arrogant.
"Hehe, who doesn't, my senior brother Mengshan will also be out of the customs soon, when the time comes, I will definitely let the people of the main peak take a look, let you all take a look."
These disciples are all in the foundation building period, but none of them are in the first echelon, and the real first echelon is about to break through the knot period.
Wang Muning and the others naturally heard their words, but they didn't say anything.
What the sect wants is this spirit of not admitting defeat, if you think you have the ability, then try it, even if there are grievances, the sect also has a special martial arts arena.
If you have any grievances, you can go up and fight one-on-one, and if you are convinced, you will lose, as long as you don't cause trouble.
But you can't maliciously hurt others or harm your fellow disciples, if you do it, you will definitely be abolished for cultivation, whether you are a disciple or an elder standing behind you, you will be treated equally and abolish your cultivation.
They don't know when this rule was customized, and by whom.
But every generation of suzerains must strictly enforce it.
A group of people entered the sect, passed through the quiet bamboo forest, then went up the mountain steps, and then to the peak, and saw a portal again.
Passing through the portal, it is the martial arts arena, and when you pass by the martial arts arena, you see two disciples fighting each other, and they are inextricably fighting.
After the martial arts arena, it is a huge square, and any activities are usually held here.
The square is surrounded by cliffs and waterfalls, and there is no road here, only nine iron chains, on which there is a ghostly light, with no end in sight, and is obscured by a thick fog.
"Senior sister, when you get here, junior brother will return to the peak!"
A handsome monk bowed his hand towards Wang Muning, who nodded.
Then the monk and a group of people rose into the air in an instant, stood on a chain, and slowly disappeared into the thick fog.
As for some Qi Refining Stage cultivators, some were carried away by the Senior Brother of the Foundation Building Period, and some were whistling,
In the next second, cranes flew out of the dense fog, rode separately, and then left.
There are all kinds of spells, riding donkeys, sitting in sedan chairs, throwing paper cranes into the sky, and they come true in an instant, and there are countless of them.
Wang Muning's stunning face couldn't help but show a smile, she hadn't seen this kind of scene for a long time.
"Senior sister, let's go too!"
Wang Muning nodded, the closer she got to the main peak, the heavier the complicated emotions in her heart.
Everyone rose into the air, standing on the chain, and their figures slowly disappeared into the mist.
After passing the fog, he arrived at the foot of the main peak, Wang Muning hesitated, and Lu Zizhen came over and comforted:
"Senior sister, Brother Ye is still waiting."
A sentence Brother Ye gave Wang Muning great courage, she nodded lightly and slowly walked up the steps.
Familiar hall, familiar layout.
Standing outside the main hall, the two disciples who guarded the door bowed and saluted.
"Master, Senior Sister has arrived." Li Jichen bowed inside.
"Let her in!"
When Li Chenji heard this, he said to Wang Muning: "Senior sister, you can go in." ”
After speaking, he put on that paralyzed face again, and said lightly: "We are outside the door, if he scolds you, we will beat him." ”
Wang Muning swiped across the faces of several people one by one, the little girl clenched her fists, and the fifth little fat man also nodded with an oath.
"Puff ......"
The woman couldn't help but chuckle, at this moment, she finally knew what to do.
"Crunch ......"
Gently pushing the door of the main hall open, the woman slowly walked in.
As soon as I entered, I saw a candle flame lit, and the blue candlelight illuminated the dark hall.
"You're here!"
Wang Muning followed the sound and saw the man sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding a book in his hand, studying it carefully.
He didn't even raise his head, just asked nonchalantly.
Wang Muning didn't say anything, just stood in the hall like that, the two were silent for a while, and the whole hall was quiet.
The situation froze for a while, and no one spoke.
Although Wang Qiuyang was sitting cross-legged, it was like a needle pricking under his buttocks, and it was difficult to sit still.
In the end, he sighed, "You are as strong as your mother." ”
"Sit down." With a slight wave of his hand, a futon beckoned.
Wang Muning walked over and sat opposite, and under the reflection of the candle flame, she saw that the person's temples in front of her were already covered with white silk.
This made her feel sad in her heart, and her eyes were misty.
"Daddy!"
Wang Qiuyang lowered his head and was stunned, and when he raised his head, his eyes were already covered by mist.
His tone trembled, "Why did you only come back now, and you hate me so much?" ”
"After all these years, don't you know to give me a letter, do you know how worried I am about you?"
He looked at his daughter, who had grown up completely in front of him, and thought of his wife, and couldn't help but cry sadly.
"I thought you didn't recognize me, do you still know?"
The voice was sad, and the father and daughter burst into tears for a while.
Who's wrong?
No one is wrong!
Once the monk is polluted by the breath of the ghost, then no one can be saved when he comes, and he can only wait for death.
That's for sure.
Wang Muning's plea was right, but it was not that Wang Qiuyang was watching coldly, but that he was helpless.
It's just that for Wang Muning, who was only a few years old at the time, that scene was too terrifying.
Outside the main hall.
"Second Senior Brother, if the master scolds the senior sister, will we really beat him?"
The little fat man touched his round belly, he only had six layers of qi refining now, which was lower than the little girl's cultivation, and he was afraid that he would not be able to beat it.
"Oh, fifth brother, you're really stupid."
The little girl pinched the lactose, put it in her mouth one by one, and said vaguely: "The two of us can't help, but the second senior brother and the third senior sister can, plus the senior sister, I promise to kill the master." ”
Lu Zizhen only shook his head when he heard this, these apprentices accepted by his master were really too filial!
Shi Qianrou was charming, and said with a smile: "You two dare to plot to beat Shizun, you see that I will not tell him later." ”
The faces of the two little potatoes turned green in an instant, if this was known to Shizun, they were afraid that they would be pimped.
In the hall, it was a little calmer.
"Ning'er, this was the way it happened back then, it's not that I didn't save your mother, but I didn't have a choice."
"Back then, when they surrounded and suppressed the ghosts, they were indeed careless, but the ghosts had no breath at all, and everyone only thought they would die, who knew that it suddenly broke out."
After finishing speaking, he sighed: "But after all, my father is wrong, I'm sorry for you two." ”
Wang Muning took a long breath and shook her head with red eyes, "I've figured it out all these years, and I don't blame you anymore, it's not your fault back then." ”
As she spoke, Wang Qiuyang was going to cry again, Wang Muning was not surprised, her father was like this, he cried when he read the book, but her mother's death and her departure planted a demon seed in his heart.
After so many years of cultivation, it is a blessing that the knot in my heart is untied!
"It's those ghosts, and they can't be eliminated."
Wang Muning added what happened along the way.
"I've already sent people to the sects to inquire, and I should be back soon."
"Let's first understand the number of ghosts born in the major sects, and then discuss how to deal with it."
Wang Muning nodded, she didn't need to worry about this kind of thing.
Noticing Wang Muning's coiled hair again, Wang Qiuyang thought about it again and again, and still asked cautiously:
"I heard Zizhen and them say, you found a wishful husband yourself?"
