Mozhou Cloud Forest.

Tianji Mountain.

Tianji Mountain is also known as the inverted peak, only because it is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and it looks like a spinning top standing on the earth.

It is said that this is because during the battle of the ancients, Tianji Mountain, which was originally hovering for nine days, was slashed down by a sword with boundless divine power, and then fell headlong and pierced into the ground.

However, some people say that Tianji Mountain was originally like this, and the reason is naturally that the Tianji Hall that stands on the flat peak of Tianji Mountain, if it is not deliberate, how can such a magnificent and huge palace group be built?

It is common for immortals to open mountains and build palaces with the magic of ghosts, go against the sky, and turn the world upside down. So some people said that this is the way of the Heavenly Machine Gate to cause disaster, going against the sky, and finally falling by God.

Right and wrong are no longer important, the important thing is that the mountains are still there, the people are still there, and the Tianjimen is still there.

On the flat peak, the main hall is magnificent, the treasure is thousands, and the brilliance is shining.

The clouds rang out, if the sound of heaven came slowly, below was all the disciples chanting the Taoist scriptures, the sound was mighty, and the air was solemn.

It was the time of the evening class, and the disciples of Tianjimen were practicing the evening class at this moment, but they saw a man in green clothes flying in the distance, followed by a young man in white, standing on top of the clouds, but a little shaky, obviously not a cultivator.

"Fourth Senior Brother!"

Xin Xiaoye, who was doing evening class, saw the man in Tsing Yi and greeted the air.

Xin Xiaoye's small round face is like a child when he smiles, although it is not beautiful, but it is very cute.

The man in Tsing Yi in the air saw it, and raised his finger to Xin Xiaoye and shushed, Xin Xiaoye realized something, turned his head to look ahead, and saw Xin Ranzi's face sank: "Don't make noise!"

Xin Xiaoye stuck out his tongue and sat back.

Over there, Qinglin had already landed beside Xin Ranzi with the young man in white, and gave a salute: "Master, the person has brought it back." ”

Xin Ranzi hummed, got up and said, "Wait until you continue to study, don't make a noise." ”

He had already turned around and returned to the hall, and Qinglin followed the young man in white.

Seeing the master leaving, the disciples below exchanged their heads one after another.

"Who's the white coat?"

"I don't know. ”

"It seems to be a newcomer brought back by the fourth senior brother. ”

"So you're a new disciple?"

"Congratulations, junior sister, from now on, you are no longer the youngest. ”

A group of senior brothers and sisters said hello to Xin Xiaoye, and Xin Xiaoye snorted: "Rare!"

His face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and he was obviously very happy to break away from the identity of the smallest sequence of the teacher.

————————————————

Following Qinglin and Xin Ranzi all the way into the main hall, Ning Ye looked at the old man in front of him as he walked.

He is the head of Tianjimen?

The old man really looked like a fairy wind and bones, I heard that he was one hundred and fifty years old, but he looked only about fifty years old, his face was full of red light, and even wrinkles were rare.

The stick in his hand should be the Tianji Stick, right? The stick is round, about three zhang long, and it is engraved with wonderful runes, and every time it pauses, a golden wheel rises from the ground, and then disappears in a flash.

I don't know what kind of stone the floor is made of, and the same rune spells are arranged, which rattle when struck and are silent when stepped on.

The entire Heavenly Machine Hall was made of all kinds of rare stones that Ning Ye had never seen or heard of, and after being paired with rune secret words, it was dazzling and became more and more mysterious and tall.

Xin Ranzi walked all the way through the main hall and came to a quiet room in the back compartment, where he sat down.

Said to Qing Linning: "Sit down." ”

Ning Ye was still hesitating, and Qinglin said, "Master, sit down, don't be polite." ”

Ning Ye sat cross-legged opposite Xin Ranzi, to be honest, this sitting posture was really a little unaccustomed.

Xin Ranzi looked at Ning Ye, the young man in front of him was not very old, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, without the panic of ordinary mortals when they first went up the mountain, nor did they have the unique arrogance of teenagers, so that he was rare to see calm, revealing a calmness that did not belong to this age.

Now Xin Ranzi somewhat believed what Qinglin said.

"You're White Feather?" he said.

"Yes, disciple Bai Yu, I have seen Shizun. Ning Ye said.

Unexpectedly, Xin Ranzi shook his head: "What you said is a little untrue, this is not your real name." ”

Ning Ye was stunned, he knew that people who cultivated immortals had many strange skills, but he didn't expect that even this kind of thing could be detected, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "The disciple used to have another name, but the things of the past are in the past, and the name of Bai Yu, although it was taken later, is the only name I use here, and it is not all false." ”

Xin Ranzi nodded: "This is the truth." There is indeed a mystery about your origin, I can't see through it, but it's not strange. After all, you are the ...... it brings."

Xin Ranzi stretched out his hand as he spoke, pointing at Ning Ye.

Ning Ye's body trembled, and his body suddenly flourished, and then a thing appeared from Ning Ye's body.

It was an ancient hall the size of a model, antique, but it looked broken everywhere, but it was faintly bright, flashing with endless mysterious brilliance, and it was not a mortal thing at a glance.

Xin Ranzi was obviously excited: "Thousand Machine Palace...... Sure enough, it's the Thousand Machines Palace......"

Although he already knew the result, at this moment, Xin Ranzi still couldn't hide his excitement.

At that time, the Tianji Gate was the Ancient Immortal Gate, and at its peak, it was even more powerful, and all immortals surrendered.

However, in order to consolidate its position, go to the poor Heavenly Dao, and create no glory, Tianjimen resolutely decided to use the power of a world to build a thousand machine temples. But when the Thousand Machines Hall was about to be completed, it was besieged by ten thousand immortals, and the Thousand Machines Hall was also shattered and disappeared in this battle, and it no longer existed.

In order to regain the glory of the Tianji Gate, the heads of the past dynasties have been working hard to find the Thousand Machine Palace.

Unexpectedly, today, Xin Ranzi finally saw it.

Xin Ranzi tried to capture the Thousand Machine Palace, but the Thousand Machine Hall was unmoved, just floating beside Ning Ye.

Ning Ye bowed his head and said, "This thing has been recognized as the main disciple......

When he said this, he was in a state of apprehension and uneasiness, and it could be said that it was the greatest adventure of his life.

Xin Ranzi saw what was on his mind: "Are you worried, afraid that I will kill you and take the treasure?"

Ning Yeyi gritted his teeth and replied directly: "Yes." ”

Xin Ranzi smiled and asked, "In this case, why did you make such a choice in the first place?"

"Because the disciple chooses to believe in the person of the master and the elder brother. Ning Ye replied.

"Xianlu is ruthless, and trusting a person at will can only show that you are stupid. ”

So the disciple didn't trust it casually, but spent a year to understand. ”

"One year is still too short. ”

"I also want to know for a longer time, but God will do this, and create people. ”

"Perhaps, God can't wait too long, and more likely, God also wants to see your choice......" Xin Ranzi said meaningfully.

————————————————

Qinglin and Ning Ye first met a year ago.

On that day, Qinglin was riding a horse, and the breeze was blowing, which made the blood boiling in his heart slightly reduced.

This blood is a little afterglow after he just exterminated the eighteen bandits in Yunshui Village, and he was proud in his heart, but he saw a woodcutter drinking in a small pavilion on the side of the road.

Just glanced at the woodcutter, and Qing Lin felt that he was extraordinary.

Although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, his clothes were clean, and the strangest thing was that he had short hair, which looked like a monk, and he did not avoid wine and meat.

There is a rabbit roasted on the shelf, and a wine jug in his hand.

The wine is full of aroma and rich aroma.

The aroma entered his nose, and Qinglin couldn't help blurting out "good wine".

The woodcutter looked at him, "It turns out that he is a drinker." It's rare to meet a drinking friend, why don't you come over for a drink? ”

When Qinglin heard him say this, he dismounted, and with a casual move, the horse had turned into a small wooden horse and fell into his hands.

Qinglin took the wooden horse and walked away, and the woodcutter was not afraid, but just looked at him with clear eyes, his eyes were clear, and he was not afraid.

Qinglin said, "You're not afraid of me?"

The woodcutter asked, "Why be afraid?"

"I am a cultivator of immortals. ”

Immortals are ruthless, and immortals are never good people, both good and evil.

However, because the immortals are naturally powerful, undisciplined, and uncontrollable, human nature is declining and arrogance is rising.

If you encounter the good immortal, if you encounter the evil immortal, it is inherent to kill people at every turn without saying a word, and killing people directly without saying much also abounds.

Because of this, when mortals see immortals, they all retreat, and few take the initiative to invite like woodcutters.

Although Qinglin boasts of his character, he does not expect mortals to take the initiative to be enthusiastic when they see him, so he has this to say.

The woodcutter said, "You smell the wine, and if I don't invite you, and you want to drink it, won't you have more reason to kill me?" ”

Qinglin laughed: "That's what I said, but there are not many people who meet immortals and don't endanger themselves." If you have a heart, then I'm not welcome. ”

As he spoke, he came over, picked up the woodcutter's flask, and did not think that he had drunk it, but raised his head and poured it.

The wine entered the liver and sausage, and the chest was full of fierce intentions, Qinglin only felt that the aftertaste was endless, and said with a smile: "I have never drunk this wine, it should be made by you, right? ”

The woodcutter didn't pay attention to it, but just sat alone by the railing, looking into the distance, and muttered: "I have a pot of wine, which is enough to comfort the wind and dust, and it will be poured into the rivers and seas and given to the people of the world." ”

Qing Lin was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "Good spirit! The wine is good, the poem is even better, I have never heard this poem, you made it yourself?"

The woodcutter shook his head: "What others have done, they don't dare to take credit." ”

Qing Lin took a few serious glances at the woodcutter.

In today's world, people in the world have a hard time surviving, struggling to make a living, and rarely read poetry and books.

Although this woodcutter said that the poems were not what he did, he still looked very human when he listened to his words and deeds and looked at his bearing.

Qinglin was interested in him, so he discussed wine and poetry with him, and found that this person was so highly educated that it was rare in the world, and he was not an ordinary person, so he was a little interested in him.

After drinking wine and eating meat, he tore one of his rabbit legs, and then walked away.

Three days later, Qing Lin returned, but he appeared directly in the woodcutter's house, a dilapidated cabin.

With a sheep.

The woodcutter didn't ask him how he found himself, but took out the wine he had brewed.

So one out of wine, the other out of meat, and the two of them feasted.

In this way, Qing Lin knew that the woodcutter's name was Bai Yu, and he was a mortal who suddenly appeared in Yunlin half a year ago. The reason why he appeared suddenly is because he said that he woke up and was here, and he had forgotten his previous memories.

Qinglin didn't ask, and went after drinking.

After that, every time Qinglin traveled or returned, he would go to the woodcutter and exchange meat for wine.

As the days go by, the friendship gradually gets better.

Whenever you have a drink, you will also chat about the wind and moon.

Qinglin will chat with each other about the machine door, and the woodcutter will also tell some of the things he has experienced.

What surprised Qing Lin was that although Ning Ye was young, he had a lot of experience, and many of the stories from his mouth were simply unheard of by Qing Lin.

Some of these are things that the immortals can't do, such as a network that allows people from different places to talk to each other.

There are also some that immortals can do, such as flying tricks, or killing people with invisible ranged weapons, etc.

Most of the time, Qinglin only regards these as stories made up by the other party, but Ning Ye's stories can be justified by themselves, and it is rare to arrive, so one is interesting to say, the other is happy to listen to, and it is difficult to get along.

Qinglin knew that Ning Ye was definitely not a very human, after all, it was difficult for ordinary people in the countryside to have such knowledge, even if they made up stories, they had never seen such a detailed and interesting story - not to mention that he also claimed to have amnesia.

The problem is that it seems that the other party itself has no intention of hiding this.

It's like telling a lie, knowing that this lie is flawed, but I don't bother to round it.

Bi Qinglin is also a free and easy person, if the other party doesn't say it, he won't ask, so the two are in a wordless tacit understanding.

A year later.

A peaceful early morning.

Ning Ye was sitting at home in a daze, in front of him, there was a thing floating, it was a simple bronze mirror, this bronze mirror was simple and solemn, containing thousands of weather, partial and hidden, and all kinds of strange pictures kept flashing in the mirror, all of which were fleeting and elusive.

Suddenly, he heard a bang, and an object fell from the sky, smashing a big hole in his roof.

Ning Ye was stunned for a moment, only to find out that it was Qinglin.

He was covered in blood, and he was still smiling when he landed, but after seeing the ancient mirror, he was obviously stunned: "Kunlun Mirror?"

The Kunlun Mirror is one of the sacred objects in the Thousand Machines Palace.

The Thousand Machines Hall is the supreme holy relic created by the power of the poor world of Tianji Gate, which contains infinite mysteries, known as a thousand machines, and contains all the wonders of heaven and earth. Among them, there are ten divine objects, each with miraculous abilities, and the Kunlun Mirror is one of them.

In ancient legends, this treasure has the ability to travel through time and space, perhaps exaggerated, after all, the paradox of time exists even in this world, but it is a fact that it can travel through the vast emptiness.

It is also this thing that brought Ning Ye from the original world here. It's just that one shuttle that also made the Kunlun Ancient Mirror exhaust all the energy accumulated for thousands of years, and it is impossible to reproduce the ability of time and space travel in a short period of time.

The moment he saw the Kunlun Mirror, Qinglin suddenly understood.

The two of them just looked at each other.

Suddenly, Qing Lin smiled.

He coughed up blood and said, "I know now...... Why are you friends with me......"

Although he was a monk, he was seriously injured, unable to use his spells, and his life was even more slim. And after discovering such an important secret of the other party, he no longer had any extravagance.

He looked at Ning Ye calmly, and said, "Can you do me a favor, after killing me, send my body to Tianji Gate, for the sake of you sending me back, the master will accept you as a disciple." The Thousand Machines Hall is on you, which is equivalent to returning to the Heavenly Machine Gate. ”

Ning Ye slowly got up and came to his side.

At his hand was a firewood knife.

With just a knife in your hand, everything can be solved.

Qinglin looked at him calmly, as if waiting for his fate to come.

He was even smiling, it was a happy and relieved laugh.

He said, "Do it." ”

He didn't expect Ning Ye to let him go.

Ning Ye slowly grabbed the firewood knife and pointed at Qinglin.

His hands were trembling slightly.

Then he swung his knife.

Brush!

The rough blade sliced through Qing Lin's clothes, revealing his scars.

He walked over, took out a medicine basket, and began to medicate Qinglin.

"You ......" Qinglin was stunned.

"Shut up!" Ning Ye said in a deep voice, "Do yourself a favor, hold your breath, luck." Although I am not an immortal, I still know a little bit about this method of curing people, but I need your cooperation......"

In this way, Qinglin survived.

Ning Ye took care of him for seven days.

On the third day, Qing Lin could already use spells, but he didn't do anything, just did his duty as a patient and cooperated silently.

Throughout, the two did not speak again.

Seven days later, Qinglin recovered from his injuries.

On the day he recovered, Qinglin disappeared.

It just disappeared suddenly, without saying hello.

Looking at the empty bed, Ning Ye sighed and sat down.

On that day, he sat still for a long time.

Three days later, Qinglin appeared.

When he saw Ning Ye, the first thing he said was: "Follow me up the mountain, the master wants to see you." ”

——————————————

In the quiet room, Xin Ranzi looked at Ning Ye.

"If it weren't for that day, would you have spoken of the Thousand Machine Palace?" he asked.

Ning Ye shook lightly: "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?"

"I don't know. Ning Ye replied with certainty: "The human heart is unpredictable, what immortals can't do, I can't do as a mortal." I don't know anyone else, not even myself. ”

"But you decided to take the risk anyway. ”

"Because he's my friend. ”

Xin Ranzi smiled: "In your heart, friends are more important than the Thousand Machine Palace?"

"Yes!" replied Ning Ye earnestly.

Under the candlelight, Ning Ye's resolute face shone brightly.

Xin Ranzi was quite satisfied.

He cultivated secret arts, and he could sense Ning Ye's sincerity.

This made Xin Ranzi also very satisfied: "Very good, affectionate and righteous, and not a brainless person." When you are cautious, you are cautious, and when you are adventurous, you are adventurous, no wonder the Thousand Machines Hall will choose you as the master. ”

Xin Ranzi said, pointing at the Thousand Machines Palace, and saw a ray of light flash in the hall, followed by a simple bronze mirror appearing from the hall.

Xin Ranzi sighed: "Kunlun Mirror ......"

It seems that because of feeling the summoning of the Heavenly Machine Gate, the Kunlun Mirror emitted a crisp sound, which actually gave people a sense of pleasure, and many strange golden characters appeared on the mirror, rotating in the void.

"Ask the Heavenly Technique!" Seeing the golden characters on the Kunlun Ancient Mirror, Xin Ranzi trembled excitedly.

Tianji Gate has nine heavenly divine arts, which correspond to the nine heavy treasures in the Thousand Machine Palace, and only one divine object has no magic.

However, after the Heavenly Machine Gate was shattered, the Nine Heavens Divine Technique was also lost.

For example, today's machine door only retains three fragments of divine arts, and the Heavenly Asking Technique is one of them.

Relying on the remnants of the Heavenly Questioning Technique, the Tianji Gate gradually transformed from the first immortal gate in ancient times to a small sect that relied on divination and hexagram questioning as the main organ and supplemented by clever tools.

And now, what appears on the Kunlun Ancient Mirror is the complete Asking Heaven Divine Technique.

The Asking the Heavens is a divination technique, and it is said that if you practice to the extreme, you can know the past and the future. The energy of time and space of the Kunlun Ancient Mirror, the way of time is not time travel, but prediction.

Combined with the Kunlun Ancient Mirror, it is said that the future and the past can be known - of course, it is impossible to know everything, otherwise the Ancient Heavenly Machine Gate will not be destroyed.

It's a pity that because the Kunlun Mirror recognizes Ning Ye as the main one, even Xin Ranzi can't use the Kunlun Mirror for divination. But if he can get back the complete Heavenly Questioning Technique, Xin Ranzi is already content.

Looking at Ning Ye's gaze, he was even more warm: "You are very good, from today onwards, you will be my ninth disciple." The matter of the Thousand Machines Palace, remember to keep it confidential and not let others know. ”

From this day on, Ning Ye officially entered the Tianji Gate.

The small sect of Tianjimen is not prosperous, and there are a total of nine apprentices in charge of Xin Ranzi, plus branch disciples and servants, the total number of people in the entire Tianjimen is not more than a hundred.

Despite this, there is harmony within the Heavenly Gate.

Xin Ranzi attaches great importance to Ning Ye and regards him as the person who will be prosperous in the future of Tianjimen, so Ning Ye's treatment is also excellent, and he will think of him as soon as he has any natural treasures. Ning Yeben's qualifications are ordinary, but under Xin Ranzi's careful cultivation, he also enters the country quickly.

Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
