In mid-February, on the day of the handover, Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess came to Lu Zheng, who came here to collect tribute.

But unlike in the past, this time Lu Zheng did not directly accept the soul return incense and leave, but summoned a cloud carpet as wide as a zhang and said to them: "Come up." ”

As the true legend of Xianmen, he naturally heard about Huang Yunzhen's exit, so he was not surprised that Xuan Xin Feng asked him to take Li Zhen and the Nine Princesses into the blessed land.

Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess were already ready, their expressions were solemn, and they boarded the cloud carpet: "There is Lao Lu's seniors." ”

Lu Zheng sacrificed the clouds, flew straight up to the sky, and then flew to the east of Xuanzhou, in the direction of the vast sea.

The true location of the sky on the clouds is in the overseas cave, it is a place in the void, an independent cave, and mortals cannot find it, but it is common for immortals to come and go there, leaving all kinds of legends.

Lu Zheng didn't know that Li Zhen had already embarked on the path of cultivation, so he deliberately took care of him and reduced his speed a lot, but he still crossed more than 10,000 miles in the daytime and entered the cave all the way.

Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess were worried, and suddenly saw the monotonous blue sky and white clouds and the vast sea disappear in front of them, replaced by mountains with spiritual light floating in the sky, thousands of clouds and clouds are like ribbons, and Qionglou Yuyu is all over it.

In the fairyland-like scene, the cloud carpet driven by Lu Zheng crossed the sea of clouds and headed straight for one of the tall peaks, and after about half a moment, he finally came to the bottom of it.

Looking up, the roots of this mountain peak, along with a huge island with a radius of tens of miles, were hidden in the clouds, and the actual size was far larger than expected.

One of the buildings that seems to be a town is located in the open space at the foot of the mountain, and there is a mountaineering staircase winding up at the back, and at the beginning of the staircase, the huge mountain wall is scraped flat and chiseled, and the three immortal characters of the big "Xuanxin Peak" are revealed.

Lu Zheng put them down, said a word, and left on his own.

However, Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess did not wait long, and immediately two people flew over on a crane several feet in size, and soon after, they jumped off the back of the crane, and they were two immortal disciples, a man and a woman.

"Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Sister Yi!" the Ninth Princess smiled and hurriedly saluted.

"Ah, Qingsi, you're here!" The Xianmen disciple who was called Senior Sister Yi by the Ninth Princess obviously knew him, and he exclaimed in surprise, and quickly looked at Li Zhen, "If I guessed correctly, this is the horse that the ancestor personally recruited for you, it is really a talent!"

Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Junior brother Li Zhen, I have seen senior brothers and sisters. ”

Senior Brother Zhou looked at Li Zhen, and also showed a satisfied expression: "It turns out that you are Senior Brother Li, the incense making master appointed by the ancestor, and you have admired your name for a long time, and in the next week, you will be a disciple of Xuanxin Peak Mountain Patrol, this is Senior Sister Yi Yi......"

After greeting each other, Zhou Cheng proposed to take the ninth princess and Li Zhen up the mountain.

Ordinary people come here, naturally it is not so easy to go up, but the ancestor has an order in advance, and the ninth princess has been happy under the knees of the ancestor since she was a child, and she is quite favored, and now she has only been married to a woman for three or four years, and in the impression of everyone, she is still the little junior sister who has not grown up, and she ignores so many rules.

Sure enough, Zhou Cheng and Yi Yi took Li Zhen and his wife up the mountain, and they traveled unhindered all the way.

After a short time, they came to the hillside square, passed through the main hall, and walked inward.

This is the residence of the ancestors, and the other true legends of the foundation all live on the side peaks that surround it, each with its own place.

When she came to the front of a jade building inside, a girl with pink carving jumped out, staring at the person with big eyes, and she was not afraid of life, and said in a childish voice: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Yi, who are these two." ”

"Xiao Mingyue, this is the ninth princess of the country...... No, she should be called the eldest princess now, speaking of which, it's still your aunt!"

"She is the daughter of the king of Longjiang County......" Zhou Cheng introduced it simply and neatly.

The ninth princess looked at the girl in surprise: "You are Xiao Mingyue, you have grown so big all of a sudden!"

Xiao Mingyue acted as a virgin in front of the ancestral throne here, so she naturally would not be afraid of life, and said generously: "I've seen my aunt." ”

Yi Yi pointed at Li Zhen again and said, "This is your uncle." ”

Xiao Mingyue said politely: "I've seen my uncle." ”

The ninth princess touched Xiao Mingyue's head and stuffed her with a handful of small coins made of jade talismans: "Really good, this is the pocket money that my aunt gave you." ”

Zhou Cheng and Yi Yi were smiling, and they watched from the side, and after a while, they said to her: "Ancestor wants to see your aunt and uncle before, go and report it." ”

"I don't need to report it, I've been watching you for a while, and it's not worrying to spend so much effort. An old woman's voice sounded inside, obviously far away, but it seemed to be able to reach everyone's ears accurately.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and then they knew that the ancestor had already used his divine sense to reflect here.

"Let's not talk about it first, the ancestor has a call, and we are in. ”

Li Zhen followed the ninth princess in, and came to the back hall inside, and saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes lying on the soft couch against the wall, holding a ruler in her hand.

This person's sideburns are like silver, wearing a gold ring, a scarf wrapped around his forehead, wearing a precious yellow silver brocade jacket, squinting his eyes, and glancing at the person who came obliquely, his aura is majestic and powerful, from the body and skin alone, there is no trace of erosion of time at all, only the occasional turbidity in the depths of his eyes shows that he is over three thousand years old.

This is the founder and guardian of the Xuanxin Kingdom, the elder of Li Zhen and the Nine Princesses, the grandmother of Taizu, the ancestor of Xuanxin Peak, one of the seven sons of Tianyun Sect, Huang Yun Zhenren.

Before Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess went in, Huang Yunzhen was still scolding and complaining, like a little old lady, but when he saw the Ninth Princess appear, he immediately stopped, his eyes were slightly moist, and he lost his voice: "My son." ”

"Old Ancestor!" The Ninth Princess's eyes were also moist, and she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in the tunnel, "Qingsi greets the Old Ancestor." ”

Li Zhen also knelt aside: "Meet the ancestor." ”

"All right, all right, all of you are here, get up, all of you. Huang Yunzhen knocked the cigarette stick, he didn't think it was suitable, and immediately threw it aside, took the hand of the ninth princess and sat on the soft couch, "Mi'er, let the ancestor take a good look at you, I haven't seen you for four years, and it's really different." ”

Can this be the same, I used to be a big girl, but now I am a young woman.

Li Zhen couldn't help but complain secretly.

However, for the 3,000-year-old Ancestor, these four years of hard work have been spent in retreat and cultivation, and it really passed in the blink of an eye, and it was really like yesterday.

Some ancestors' grace to their children and grandchildren can last for decades, not necessarily because of long-term affection, but because of the abnormal concept of time.

Now Huang Yunzhen looked up and down the Ninth Princess with a surprised look of "how my baby has changed in a blink of an eye", as if he wanted to take a good look at her current appearance and temperament, and after a long time, he suddenly realized that these four years were not short for mortals and qi refining cultivators.

The average life span of a secular dynasty is more than forty years old, four years is worth one-tenth of life, even if the ninth princess is a qi refining cultivator, if she doesn't build a foundation, her life is only a hundred years.

At this moment, she seemed to really feel the withering of life, and her eyes, which had been slightly moisturized, rose again.

The Ninth Princess was a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, the ancestor is just happy, happy. Huang Yunzhen wiped the corners of his eyes slightly, but then glanced at Li Zhen, who was squatting next to him, bored, "Is this kid okay to you?"

The ninth princess's cheeks were dizzy, and her face was like a peach blossom: "Good ......"

Huang Yunzhen was not surprised: "Ancestor, I also have the ability to know people, I felt that you had a lot of karma at that time, but now it seems that if it is really Qin Se and Ming, I can also feel at ease." ”

Hearing her speak like this, the Ninth Princess was a little flustered: "Old Ancestor, we heard that your retreat cultivation is not favorable......

Huang Yunzhen scolded: "What's the unfavorable, to put it bluntly, it's a waste of effort, and the Yuan Ying is hopeless! Not only that, but my ancestor and I were blown by the wind and injured my six intestines and bones, I am afraid that even my old life will be broken for hundreds of years, and I don't know how long I can live!"

But it's not so easy for this thief to take me in, I also had adventures in my early years, and I had hundreds of years more life than ordinary knots, and now I just want to return it!

Hmph, those sluts outside stir up the wind and rain, in order to take advantage of the joint launch of the feudal plan of various sects, to seek more population and land, so as to harvest the dragon veins, this ancestor has to hold on, not to make them so easy!"

When she said this, she stroked the face of the Ninth Princess, but she couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said with a little sadness: "It's a pity that I have suffered you juniors."

In the future, I don't know how many more foundation building true inheritances I can grow, and I don't know if there will be anyone who will successfully marry the Dan and provoke the main beam......"

The Ninth Princess vaguely understood that what the Ancestor was worried about now was not what was in front of her at all, but the time of death hundreds of years later.

After the death of the ancestor, Xuanxin Peak and Xuanxin Kingdom were afraid that they would be broken, and all the foundation building monks and ordinary disciples would no longer have the support of the real people of the Jiedan, so they would have to end up like ordinary monks from ordinary families, serving as immortal men and fulfilling various obligations.

In the future, it will be difficult to get credit and good deeds, but dirty work must be done, and if you are unlucky, you will have to be pushed out to deal with the catastrophe and fulfill the calculations of those powerful masters.

The world of Mo Dao cultivating immortals is harmonious, and the monks are idle and wild, and they talk about their hearts and minds, which is called the day of the gods.

The real cultivation of immortals is to be fought for, there are so many opportunities and positions, the avenue is competing, fighting with the sky, and fighting with people.

But even if she understands it, the ninth princess is always difficult to ask directly.

She can't ask, Ancestor, how many hundred years can you live.

This is not only impolite, but also involves Xuan Xinfeng's supreme secret.

If there is a successor to Xuan Xin Peak, and someone will be promoted to the throne in a short period of time, the ancestor should relax, do his best to arrange his succession, and then rest at ease for the rest of his life.

But on the contrary, there are many people up and down, and there is no hope of getting married.

Li Zhen also vaguely understood.

He always felt that the real remaining lifespan of the ancestor was not as many as the hundreds of years she claimed.

Her current state seemed to be terribly wrong, and although the room was filled with the smell of tobacco, there was a faint smell of moldy dust and blood.

But before Li Zhen could open his mouth to ask, Huang Yunzhen turned his gaze, with a little doubt in his majesty: "Li Zhen, as soon as I saw it just now, I wanted to ask you what's the matter, you actually refined qi?"

Li Zhen was shocked in his heart, and secretly sighed that he really couldn't hide it from the ancestor.

It turned out that she had already discovered it the moment she saw herself, and the reason why she didn't mention it was because she didn't care about it

Fortunately, in the cultivation of the spiritual realm, the ancestor couldn't see it, his divine soul was extremely high, and it was not so easy to see through it under the deliberate hiding.

Li Zhen didn't explain, just looked at the ninth princess.

The ninth princess hurriedly said: "Ancestor, this matter is a long story, we didn't have time to tell you, it's because it involves Yuanying seniors......"

As she spoke, she told the truth what she knew.

After learning that Li Zhen's chance was actually from the day travel master who appeared in the royal city, Huang Yunzhen's eyes flashed, and he even believed a little.

It's not that she trusts people easily, but because there's really no other reasonable explanation for it.

Mortals have the opportunity to cultivate, this can already be called a change of life against the sky, even she can't do it, what she once promised to Li Zhen is nothing more than to help him refine his mortal bones after achieving Yuan Ying.

But now, with the failure of promotion, that promise has been postponed indefinitely.

"That predecessor once entrusted a dream with you, it was the cause and effect that was formed with you at that time, this Dao body, is the reward he gave you?

In this way, he grabbed the dragon vein and refined the magic weapon, and he also got the help of the spiritual incense you refined?

Those seniors pay attention to the fact that every peck and drink is predetermined, and they will not be kind to you for no reason, nor will they owe you easily, it seems that you have really helped him a lot......"

Huang Yun quickly guessed.

Li Zhen hurriedly interrupted: "Ancestor, let's not talk about this first, what is the matter with your injury? If it is only the damage of the Dao body and does not hurt the soul, maybe I can help!"

Huang Yunzhen said: "You, you have a heart, but this kind of thing is not something you and other juniors can imagine......

"Really, I have the fragrance of tea, and even the Yuanying masters are useful!" Li Zhen knew that he was really not convincing, so he immediately moved out the Yuanying masters.

"I vaguely remember, you have entered the tea turnip intermittent paste before, why did it become the fragrance of tea turnip again?" Huang Yun Zhenren really raised his attention, but he was a little puzzled.

Li Zhen said: "This is a special spice extracted from the intermittent paste of tea turnips, which can give birth to human flesh and bones, even if it is a Dan Dao body, it can also be restored, if the ancestor is only damaged by the Dao body, and the soul is unhindered, it can be restored as before!"

"And this kind of strange thing, can be restored by connecting to the Dan Dao body?" Huang Yunzhen's eyes lit up.

But in an instant, it dimmed again: "I am the Dao body is damaged, and the divine soul is also damaged! After all, the wind is one of the heavenly tribulations, where is it so cheap to only damage the physical body?"

"Even if you have filial piety, but the effect of this thing is only ...... very little."
