Snowflakes were falling all over the sky, and there was no murmur in my ears except for the rustling sound.

Living alone in a lonely building, the pillow is cold and cold, and the endless loneliness is quietly coming.

Yan Ci lay on the bed as if he had no bones, out of his mind.

With the glittering Luo Yin bead between his fingers, he recalled the bits and pieces of his childhood, and his heart was tormented by guilt and remorse.

If it weren't for his own reasons, because of this pearl, the family would never have suffered a disaster.

He would rather live a life of mediocrity, would rather humbly plough in the fields and go to the mountains to collect firewood, and use cracked calloused hands to get shoddy morning and evening meals, and would never exchange the pain of losing his relatives for the strength to pull up the mountain, in exchange for a high position and ethereal immortality.

However, the past is the past, Yan Ci can start a story again, but the story of the past is far from over, and the pain that is difficult to let go gnaws at his heart from time to time, reminding him not to forget his sin and loneliness.

The seeds of self-blame and hatred are buried too deep to fade with time, and it can be chosen to be ignored, but never forgotten.

In the day of Luoyin Cave, the wind blows the green grass, the warm and beautiful sun reflects the white clouds, and the scenery is still the same.

Before Yan Ci went to Cangmingze, he had already gone to the Tibetan Scripture Building to check all the ancient books that contained the things in the space.

The objects of space form their own space, which has the function of shrinking and accommodating other objects, and the space has its own size and shape.

For example, the storage ring, the space ranges from several squares to dozens of squares, and it can store a spiritual material and spiritual grass for a magic weapon. The same is true for the spirit beast bracelet, but the inside can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, yin qi, etc. for storing living creatures.

The two types of treasures have no distinction between day and night, and there is no difference between the four times, and they can be called things of space.

There is also a kind of treasure of space, which includes the sun, moon and stars, wind, clouds, rain and dew, and grass, trees, mountains and rivers. Not only can it accommodate all things in heaven and earth, but also has innate spirituality, and some of them also have exclusive magical powers, which can be stored and protected against enemies, which is the treasure that cultivators dream of.

The sun and moon in Luoyin bead are distinct, and the stars are self-arranged, which has the characteristics of a treasure of space. However, there is a single species in it, and it cannot drive the enemy, so I really don't know where its mystery lies.

At the foot of the giant tree, the unicorn cub was sleeping soundly, and it pressed the last half-eaten spirit fruit under its claws, and was very unhappy when it was awakened, and jumped up and down with its small teeth.

Yan Ci pointed to the half of the spirit fruit on the ground slightly, the little beast was stunned and happy, his dark and translucent eyes and bones turned, and he pressed the spirit fruit to the ground and gnawed like crazy.

After eating the spirit fruit, the young unicorn patrolled around more than ten spirit grasses under the tree, like an invincible emperor patrolling the realm.

After patrolling around, there was not a single spirit fruit in the spirit grass, the little beast looked up at Yan Ci, and walked around again in confusion, and finally lowered his eyebrows and was completely disappointed.

Yan Ci teased the young unicorn for a while, and when he got out of the Luoyin Cave, the little beast was suddenly attracted by the snow scene outside the window, and its clear and bright big eyes flickered as it watched the snowflakes fly, not knowing what it was thinking.

Heavy snow was blowing in the mountains, and it was falling lively, and the atmosphere in the Dust Hall was a little solemn.

Wan Lifeng said: "There are signs of the activities of the Jianghu monks in many places outside the mountain, and even the Great Desolate Ruins and the Phantom Night Palace have sent minions to check closely, could it be that the traces of the immortal beads have been leaked?"

Liu Ruoxi said casually: "Back then, the Huangfu clan chased after the holder of the immortal pearl, and he must have known something. ”

Wan Lifeng frowned and said: "It stands to reason that the old Dao cultivation of the Jackdaw has not yet recovered, so it is time to restrain the subordinates to avoid unnecessary disputes." At this time, send someone to spy on the garden, if you don't reach some kind of agreement with the Great Wilderness Ruins, it will be Hanzi who is getting in the way. ”

Yu Dushui looked thoughtful, and said slowly: "Hanzi is a well-known ascetic, and he has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Phantom Night Palace when the jackdaw is seriously injured, so he may not come out to cause trouble right now." ”

Wan Lifeng was silent for a moment and said, "Hanzi has been in retreat for many years, but his cultivation has rarely improved. If Luo Yinzhu really has the miraculous effect of communicating with heaven, earth, man and god, it is reasonable for her to rise up with a disgraceful heart. ”

Yu Dushui was slightly stunned, thinking about it carefully, feeling that there was no shortage of possibilities for this statement, he and Liu Ruoxi looked at each other, and both bowed their heads in agreement, and then said: "I heard that Hanzi has a tough heart, and it is difficult to stop if she does not achieve her goal, if this matter is masterminded by her, I am afraid that it will be more than just snooping in the later stage." ”

Yuan Duyun listened quietly for a long time, and said lightly: "The Qing Ming retreat is in a critical period, and it is not appropriate to make trouble at this time. Gradually shrink the line of defense into the Dry Fog Forest, and let him wait for a while. ”

All the peak lords received their orders one after another. Liu Ruoxi said: "Recently, the disciples of this garden have gathered and gone out, and it is inevitable that there will be fights when they meet. ”

Yuan Duyun frowned and said: "The edict decrees that the disciples of the rotation period shall not leave the mountain gate lightly, and the inspection task will be released again, and the disciples of the fusion period will be sent out to patrol, and if they encounter someone from another faction, they can be dispersed." ”

Wan Lifeng said: "Obey the edict of the senior brother, the Jialan Temple and the Huaqing Gate are also ready to move, do you want to leave three points of thin noodles?"

Yuan Duyun nodded and said: "The two factions have been inherited for thousands of years, and it is inconvenient to offend them easily, if the other party is sensible, they can be persuaded to leave first, and if they encounter arrogant people, they don't need to show mercy." ”

Wanli Peak bowed his head and said yes, Yuan Duyun groaned for a while, and added: "Carefully check the prohibitions of each peak to ensure that the protective array operates around the clock." Qi Fengfeng must be especially cautious, in addition to daily on-site inspections, instruct idle people not to approach at will. ”

Liu Ruoxi bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, the little sister knows the severity." ”

Yuan Duyun smiled without saying a word, then slowly got up and said, "This matter must be arranged as soon as possible, and we will discuss it again in case of trouble." ”

The peak lords also got up and retreated, and Yuan Duyun went back to the apse.

As the snow begins to fall, the winter sun is gently falling, and the snow is gradually melting, making it even colder in the mountains.

A few days later, Wanjilou posted a notice cloud: "I would like to inform the disciples of Chuanyu, Bowei, Dicui, and Liudan Academy: From now on, you must not go out, and each academy will recall the inspection disciples within ten days. ”

At the same time, the inner list issued inspection tasks, and only disciples in the fusion period were allowed to take them.

When the Fourth Courtyard of the Outer Gate got the news, it immediately caused an uproar. The disciples were in groups of three or five, chattering endlessly.

Luo Mu complained: "I just tasted a little sweetness, how can I be so tricky?"

Chen Cang'er stopped: "Fat man, don't talk nonsense, how can the master's decision be questioned at will!"

Seeing that Yan Ci was absent-minded, Chen Cang'er suddenly said, "Senior Brother Yan, is there any abnormality when inspecting Cangmingze?"

Yan Ci said quietly: "What does Senior Brother mean by this?"

Chen Cang'er lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Qingluo Grassland discovered the whereabouts of the Jianghu monk, and Senior Brother Benyuan expelled him. ”

Yan Ci said lightly: "Oh, I haven't heard that it is the norm for the cultivators to contain each other, why is it strange?"

Chen Cang'er didn't dare to agree, and said: "Hundreds of years ago, the cultivation realm reached a consensus, no matter whether it is a person in the Dao Sect or a casual cultivator, anyone who can advance to the Void Netherworld Period can demarcate the territory and set up a forbidden land, and the master reserves the right to kill and kill those who intrude at will. ”

Yan Ci said with a smile: "Cangmingze and Qingluo grassland are not forbidden places in this garden. ”

Chen Cang'er also smiled: "The forbidden land has eyes and ears, although it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, but there are also people who are eager to try. It is customary practice to set up a warning area outside the forbidden area, so as not to cause the forbidden area to be invaded in a hurry. Imagine that Cangmingze or Qingluo grassland are inaccessible, and it is no accident that disciples from other sects are vying to come, and their intentions are obvious. ”

Luo Mu muttered: "Intention is intention, if outsiders don't act out of line, they are also helpless." ”

Chen Cang'er said: "Hmph, most of the snoopers are not in the stream, but who would be so boring if they have some means? ”

Luo Mu smiled: "Yo, senior brother usually hides very deeply, so he can still figure out the mind of the teacher?"

Yan Ci didn't want to discuss it further, so he interrupted: "Since the master has made an order, let's obediently follow it." ”

"That makes sense. Chen Cang'er suddenly woke up and said, "The matter is big, and it is not appropriate to speculate." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the whispering crowd in the Wanji Building, and turned his head to glance at the people: "Go back, don't be an eyesore here." ”

Yan Ci said with a smile: "The cold wind is swishing, this weather is most suitable for hugging the high bed, and only fools are willing to go to patrol the mountains." ”

Luo Mu rolled his eyes and said: "You can sleep until noon if you have anything to do, this sleep is really enviable, the key is that the Dao is still improving very fast, I really doubt that you are a true spiritual root." ”

Yan Ci said: "As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for chopping wood, like a senior brother who gets up before dawn and is not in vain, what is the benefit?"

Luo Mu snorted: "You can still figure out such a truth when you sleep, admire and admire." ”

In fact, Yan Ci is also a little confused, many people with excellent qualifications in the garden, they still stay in the rotation period after a long time of practice, but let themselves come from behind, if it is not for the reason of Biluo Qing's secret secret, it is the credit of Long Yinguo, thinking about it, I feel that it is indeed unreasonable.

Chen Cang'er said suddenly: "I heard that the junior brother has an altar of wine called Begonia Drunken Day, I don't know if I can be blessed to taste it?"

Yan Ci smiled dumbly and said: "This wine is often forgotten by Yan, the opportunity is rare, and today I will rest when I get drunk." ”

After speaking, he became impatient, and pulled Chen Cang'er and Luo Mu back to their residence to taste the wine.

More than a month later, the news spread that the patrol disciples of Tongchen Yuan wantonly drove away the Jianghu cultivators who were stranded outside the forbidden area, during which there were frequent battles, and several famous disciples of the Great Desolate Ruins and the Phantom Night Palace were all suffered.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the cultivation world was in an uproar. Since the previous ruin lord Fu Ling and the Xiuzhen world rebuilt the Old Testament, the Great Wilderness Ruins have disappeared in the rivers and lakes, and this time Taoguang has been obscure for nearly a hundred years, and the trend of comeback has been unstoppable.

And the Tongchen Garden didn't seem to be alarmed in the slightest wave, and after showing a little edge, the patrol boundary shrank to the Dry Fog Forest, except for controlling the low-level disciples to go out.

The Great Desolate Ruins and the Phantom Night Palace turned a blind eye, and did not blame the guilty teacher.

However, some small sects and sects sensed the signs of abnormality, and when the wind and rain were coming, they simply closed the mountain gate and restrained their disciples from shrinking their heads.

Just as the New Year is coming, some of the Taoist sects still retain the etiquette of the New Year, so they call the people to go back to the mountain to keep the New Year, or pray for the New Year, or worship the ancestors, or discuss some things that hurt the heavens and reason, and wait for the implementation next year.

Tongchen Yuan does not attach much importance to ordinary rituals, and does not interfere with the celebration of the New Year. Many disciples posted Spring Festival couplets in their residences, lit firecrackers, and the mountains were full of joy.

Yan Ci was excited, and imitated Chen Cang'er to paste a clumsy couplet: "Ziyan is happy to believe in thousands of doors auspicious, and the golden pig arches Huamen and thousands of households are leveled." ”

The festival is scheduled to be held in the first month of the following year, and now there is only one year left, and the disciples are dedicated to practicing in the hope that they will be able to shine at that time.

Yan Ci was no exception, he lived in seclusion, concentrating on practicing the Biluo Qing Immortal Decision and the Moonlight Thousand Miles Technique.

As for the Bi Fang Spirit Feather obtained by Cang Mingze, it was integrated into the Iris Fairy Sword to enhance spirituality according to the method of casting, and the rest of the spirit materials and fairy grass were all exchanged into star points to replace the elixir for daily consumption.
