() The two young disciples who were rushing towards them with their teeth and claws came to an abrupt halt.

Hearing someone in the mountain gate to stop him, He Tianyao also stopped and put down his hands, but his anger was not calm, so he glared at the two of them fiercely and snorted coldly.

After the mountain gate opened, a white-clothed immortal cultivator who looked quite elegant and handsome walked out.

"Master!" the two disciples saluted respectfully.

"The mountain gate is heavy, so noisy and noisy, what kind of system!" the immortal cultivator reprimanded, "Besides, how many times have I told you, when guarding the door, you can also quietly recite mantras and compare swordsmanship with empty hands, and don't waste your time!"

One of the disciples pointed at He Tianyao aggrievedly and whispered: "But Master, it's clear that the person has to break in, so we stopped it!"

"Idiot!" the man knocked on the door of each of the two apprentices' heads, "Block, how can you stop him?" In the end, the master's "level" is higher, and it can be seen at a glance that He Tianyao is an immortal cultivator.

He Tianyao took a step forward and arched his hand: "This fellow Daoist, I didn't want to break through the mountain gate, but to find someone. But not only did the two disciples not allow me to come near to speak, but they also kept speaking rudely, which was quite rude, so I was going to teach them a lesson. These words were clearly contemptuous, and he hated those two bullying disciples in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly sanctimonious immortal cultivator squinted his eyes and replied in a stiff tone: "Daoyou? It's really funny, although you and I are fellow Daoists, the word 'friend' is not counted! Say, who are you looking for?"

He Tianyao frowned slightly, held back the anger in his chest, and still said politely: "I am here to find Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe of the Taiqing lineage. ”

"Oh, what are you looking for with him?" the man finally turned to face He Tianyao. For some reason, He Tianyao felt that his eyes seemed to flash a trace of strangeness in an instant.

"I have something to do with them, and you don't have to worry about the specific reason, you just need to tell me which mountain they are on. He Tianyao retaliated with a tooth for a tooth.

"Joke, what kind of place do you think this is, you can see whoever you want?" a gatekeeper couldn't help but shout.

"Shut up!" The immortal cultivator turned his head and snorted, and said to He Tianyao again, "How can the dignified Qinglong Sect allow others to come and go at will? If you refuse to tell the reason, I will naturally not be able to tell you." ”

"Oh well. There was an old man Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe's old man who entrusted him to send those two children to the Qinglong Sect to cultivate immortals. He Tianyao didn't want to say more.

The immortal cultivator replied, "Oh, I see. You're in the wrong place, there's no two people you said here. If those two children want to cultivate immortals, they can participate in the Qinglong Sect's disciple acceptance conference in the early spring of next year, and they can't enter the sect normally. ”

"No?" He Tianyao was stunned.

"Hey, I've said it a long time ago and I don't believe it......," the noisy gatekeeper pouted.

"Farewell. He Tianyao arched his hand, turned to Qin Aoxue and Qin Lingshuang who were standing in the distance, and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain." ”

The tiredness of the two little girls climbing the mountain was still gone, He Tianyao carried them on his shoulders again, and strode down the stairs.

The white-clothed immortal cultivator kept staring at the distant backs of the three of them, and for a long time, he laughed coldly.

"Master, is that person also an immortal cultivator, why can't you even feel the breath of an immortal cultivator?" asked a gatekeeper disciple.

"That's because your level is not enough!" the white-clothed immortal cultivator glanced at the two of them angrily, "That person's cultivation should be in the early stage of the Cave Void, and he can be regarded as a master in the scattered cultivation." But ......," he said, narrowing his eyes and touching his chin with his elbow.

The two disciples looked at each other, unable to guess what the master had not finished.

"You two continue to guard the door. If that person goes and returns, don't start a dispute, come and report me quickly!"

On the steps of the mountain road, He Tianyao slowed down and walked steadily.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Qin Lingshuang asked.

"Let's find a place to spend the night at the bottom of the mountain, and then we will plan tomorrow. He Tianyao said. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the white-clothed immortal cultivator was lying just now. When he heard the names of Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe, his eyes clearly flashed a trace of fluctuation, this was the proof that he knew Han and Tang, but He Tianyao couldn't guess the purpose of his deliberate concealment.

"That guy is just in the late stage of the cave, and he is so arrogant and rude, and he is trying to probe my truth in vain. Thinking of the situation just now, He Tianyao's heart swelled with a burst of disgust, when he felt the fluctuations in the spiritual consciousness of the white-clothed immortal cultivator, he deliberately suppressed the realm in the early stage of the cave void, "It seems that it is really as Xiao Min said in his letter, 'The people in the lower realm are complicated, the mud and sand are all the same, and there are few self-ashamed and self-pitying. "If it weren't for the fact that the senior brother and the second senior sister were still in the Blue Dragon Sect, I really wouldn't want to send Ao Xue and Ling Shuang into it to cultivate immortals......"

Judging from the actions of the white-clothed immortal cultivator who glanced at He Tianyao's shoulder from time to time during the conversation, He Tianyao had already guessed what was going on in his mind. "It's okay if you know each other, but if you're hot-headed, I don't mind 'training' you well. He Tianyao sneered in his heart.

By the time we got down, it was already dark. He Tianyao did not take the two little girls back to Xuzhou, but found a cave on the periphery of the Wuling Mountains to sleep. Not far from the cave is the dirt path up the mountain, and the cave is not deep, only turning a corner to the end, as if it had once been the nest of some animal. Due to the good structure of the cave, the cool breeze of the autumn night cannot blow in, and the cave is very dry, not afraid of night dew and frost, which is suitable for staying overnight. After the two little girls were full and slept, He Tianyao sat at the entrance of the cave.

"Will you come tonight?" He Tianyao smiled slightly, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Three watches, four watches, five watches.

In the darkest time before dawn, there was finally a slight movement on the path, and He Tianyao opened his eyes.

In the haze, a figure was hunched down along the path

Mountain.

He Tianyao stood up suddenly, startled the man, sat down on the ground, and stammered, "Yes, who is it!"

"People who sleep here. Who are you?"

The man breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm collecting firewood." It's good that you're not a bad guy. But how did you choose such a remote place to sleep out?"

He Tianyao said: "I went to the Qinglong Sect to look for someone, but I didn't find it. It's getting late and it's too late to go back, so I'll deal with it here all night. ”

"Blue Dragon Sect...... The territory of the Blue Dragon Sect is very large, this place is the closest to the Red Sun Vein, and you came down from the Red Sun Peak?" the woodcutter asked curiously.

He Tianyao suddenly realized: "I see." No wonder I didn't find the person I was looking for. I don't know where the Taiqing pulse is?"

The woodcutter walked over, it turned out to be a small man with a scruffy beard, and he said, "The Taiqing Mountain Domain is the northernmost of the eight major mountain domains of the Qinglong Sect, and it is not close to here. Normally, you can't pass through the range of the Qinglong Sect, you have to go all the way around the west of the Chiri Mountain Domain and the northwest of the Canghai Mountain Domain to reach the Taiqing Mountain Domain. ”

He Tianyao smiled: "Since there are ordinary circumstances, there must also be extraordinary circumstances." Ask for advice. ”

The woodcutter smiled "hehe": "You are quite clever." I have been collecting firewood in the Wuling Mountains for many years, and I know that a shortcut to a ravine can lead directly to the Taiqing Mountain Domain, and it will not be discovered by immortal cultivators. It's just that the road is a little difficult to walk, but I can walk, and a sturdy young man like you should be fine, right?"

"I'm tired of you leading the way, I don't know if it's okay?"

The woodcutter looked embarrassed: "Although this road is relatively close, it is only relative to the outer surrounding road. In this case, I'll lead you for a while, and if there is no fork in the road, I just need to point you in the direction, and it should be fine. ”

"That's hard work, and I'm grateful. He Tianyao took the burden on his back and thanked him.

So, the woodcutter led He Tianyao around the foot of the mountain and went deep into the mountains.

Could it be that He Tianyao forgot the two little girls Qin Aoxue and Qin Lingshuang?

No, the reason why He Tianyao didn't wake up the two was because he knew that it wouldn't take long for him to come back.

The woodcutter and He Tianyao chatted without a match, and they walked through places where there was no road, and they became more and more remote.

After reaching the top of a low hill, the woodcutter stopped, and a huge ravine lay beneath the cliff in front of him.

"Here we are. The woodcutter said.

"Oh, where are you?" He Tianyao asked as if knowingly.

"Get to where you're on your way!" a loud roar came from the trees behind them, and two masked men in black jumped down.

He Tianyao was not surprised, turned around and said indifferently: "At this time, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the two of them are covering their faces and masks, it seems that they are definitely not good. But I don't know why I said this is where I went on my way?"

"Huh?" The two men in black glanced at each other, and He Tianyao's composure was beyond their expectations. "There's no way out, there's no way back, you're all dead and you're still in the mood to gossip?" one of them shouted.

"Hmph. He Tianyao sneered, "Several, if you want to deceive people and at least make up a decent lie, just pretend to be a woodcutter casually? What about 'collecting firewood in the Wuling Mountains for many years', how big is the Wuling Mountains? How can an ordinary woodcutter dare to say this? Besides, where do you go to burn firewood after collecting firewood? Have you ever seen a suburban farmhouse within a radius of dozens of miles?"

"Oh, so what? Aren't you still deceived? What's the use of letting go of the afterthought?" The "woodcutter" changed his honest face to a fierce and vicious look, and shouted to the two masked men: "What are you waiting for?

The two masked men each drew a fairy sword, and one of them threw another fairy sword to the woodcutter, and it turned out that the three of them were all immortal cultivators.

"Die!" the three men attacked from three directions.

He Tianyao's eyes showed a cold light, and he shook the huge package on his side shoulder, the package was scattered, all kinds of dry food and fruits were scattered, and he raised his hands and grabbed a fairy sword from the sundries.

As the sword body came out of the sheath, a strong spiritual power fluctuation swept in, the sword was wide and thick, and the brown-yellow light faintly revealed a coercion, and the quality of this sword was not low.

When the three of them saw He Tianyao's sword, they stopped one after another. "The best fairy sword?" the fake woodcutter said in surprise.

He Tianyao smiled contemptuously: "I want to kill people and sell goods, but it's ridiculous but I don't know the goods at all! He plunged his sword back into its wide scabbard.

Seeing that the "loose cultivator" in front of him in the "early stage of the cave void" actually dared to laugh and laugh, the three of them were furious and slashed at them with swords.

He Tianyao's figure suddenly divided into three, and they circled behind the three of them, not only that, but their speed was so fast that the three of them didn't even have time to turn back.

"Huh", the three voices sounded almost at the same moment, and the three wicked people fell to the ground with a bang, each with a blood hole in their abdomen, which He Tianyao directly poked out with a scabbard.

The "One Qi and Three Yuan" body method created by the Phoenix Sword Immortal Zhu Xuanrong, He Tianyao has practiced to the second level under the guidance of the Swift Light Sword Immortal Jiang Chengdong - "Fu Sanyuan".

"Hmph, I'm really looking for death. He Tianyao tore off a piece of cloth from the corpse and wiped the blood on the scabbard. The three unlucky ghosts who swallowed their breath may not understand when they die why this "loose cultivator" in the "early stage of the cave void" is so powerful.

As for the true faces of the two masked people, He Tianyao didn't bother to check them, anyway, they weren't good faces.

After packing up the package and hiding the scabbard in it, He Tianyao returned to the cave. At this time, it was still not dawn, and he wanted to see if the two little girls were covered with quilts in the cave, but he was stunned on the spot.

The quilt was lifted haphazardly, the mattress was crumpled, and the two children were gone.

"Aoxue, Lingshuang!" He Tianyao was anxious and hurriedly jumped out of the hole. He shouted the names of the two men as he anxiously searched the vicinity, but there was silence all around, and there was no response.

"Don't panic, don't panic, think about it!" He Tianyao forced himself to calm down and thought about the two

Where the child might go.

Could it be that the beast that used to live in the cave has returned?"No, it can't be!" He Tianyao denied this speculation. There is neither the smell of wild beasts nor the hair of beasts in the cave, and it seems that it is a cave that has been abandoned for a long time. Besides, even if a beast hurts someone, it won't leave the cave!

Could it be that the two children woke up and saw that He Tianyao was not there, so they went out to look for him? That seems unlikely. The two children are smart and clever, even if they wake up early, they will not act rashly in this barren mountain environment, they will only obediently wait for He Tianyao to come back in the cave.

Then, there is only one last possibility, the two children were taken away. Was it good or malice? Who would pass through such a remote place before dawn at the fifth watch? A mess of bedding showed that the two children had struggled when they were taken away.

"They were taken captive!" He Tianyao came to a conclusion after a short thought.

It was terrible, and his mood was flustered again. If the two children have three longs and two shorts, how can he explain to Qin Yuejie and Zhu Xiaomin!

At this moment, He Tianyao even regretted his intestines, he knew that this was the case, why did he pretend to be a woodcutter before? The big deal is to repel the wicked when they attack, and protect the two children while dealing with the three late-stage enemies of the Cave Void, which is simply easy for He Tianyao.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world to take, and the most important thing at the moment is to find two children. In the vast Wuling Mountain Range, He Tianyao could think of only one way - please Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister.

The woodcutter's nonsense still gave him a little inspiration, at least he knew that the day before he had climbed the main peak of the Red Sun Mountains. If you want to go to the Taiqing Mountains, you have to go around from the west to the north.

Without further ado, He Tianyao took out the fairy sword in the package, and threw the other sundries on the ground. But when he was about to fly, he remembered the oath Jiang Chengdong had made before leaving, and hesitated again: "In order to avoid being coveted by others, Master does not allow me to fly this sword." But the fluctuation of the spiritual power of this sword is too strong, hidden in the baggage, and through the scabbard, it can still be sensed by powerful immortal cultivators. Now that something happened because of this sword, it was time for the sword to fly, but I swore in front of the master again...... Walking to the Heavenly Dao Mountain Domain is inevitably too slow, Ao Xue and Ling Shuang may be in danger all the time, what should they do?" he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"That's right, those three guys!" He Tianyao re-rolled the fairy sword in the package and hid it, put it on his back, and immediately returned to the three dead people and picked up a fairy sword. "What's a good deal?" he threw it behind him and fell off a cliff. Picking up another handle, it was a medium grade, and he threw it behind him again. Picking up the last one, he was almost dizzy, he was still medium-grade, and it was the worst of the medium-grade immortal swords. "Is there a mistake? This is not as good as the two in front of me!" He turned to look at the bottom of the cliff, and complained in his heart, "The immortal cultivators of the three late stage of the cave void don't even have a decent good grade immortal sword? It's too cold to hold this kind of mid-grade immortal sword, right? No wonder they took a fancy to the fairy sword in my package!"

The quality of the fairy sword affects the speed of flight, but at the moment, it is helpless, something is better than nothing. He Tianyao hurriedly raised his sword and broke through the air.

After leaving the Chiri Mountain Domain, He Tianyao flew in the northeast direction, and saw the mountain where immortal cultivators lived in the distance, so he hurriedly avoided it. The sky gradually brightened, and he estimated that the distance was almost flying, and he controlled the fairy sword to slow down, suppressing the realm again. Within the scope of the Blue Dragon Sect, revealing too high a realm may cause unnecessary trouble.

I encountered a low hill with a few houses scattered on it, and He Tianyao fell down to ask for directions.

There are also immortal cultivators living in the house, He Tianyao was taken aback after asking, it turned out that there were so many immortal cultivators in the Taiqing vein that they couldn't live in the sect, so they had to move some immortal cultivators who had no talent to the top of the small peaks on the periphery. After determining the specific location of Taiqing Peak, He Tianyao came to the bottom of the mountain.

Taiqing Peak is more than 1,700 zhang high, second only to Chiri Peak in the eight major mountain areas. Unlike the zigzag staircase of Chiri Peak, the steps of Taiqing Peak are like a gray dragon circling around the mountain.

He Tianyao had no time to admire the grandeur of his project, but he only climbed three steps and two steps. His mind was tied to the two missing children.

Compared to what happened to Chiri Peak, the two disciples of Taiqing Peak were obviously much more polite, and politely asked He Tianyao what he was doing.

The original immortal cultivators all knew that there was a kid named "He Tianyao" in Taiqing Sect who was fortunate enough to be selected as an apprentice by the Sword Immortal and taken away for seclusion, so he thought of a statement on the way to the mountain: "I have something important to see Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe, please inform me on my behalf, my surname is Gu, my name is Gudinghe!"

The disciples guarding the door were a little suspicious, and one of them looked He Tianyao up and down: "You want to see Han Mingfei?"

He Tianyao was anxious, but he didn't know what the disciples were still hesitating, so he urged urgently: "Yes, there is also Tang Junhe!

"Oh, okay, you wait. The disciple opened the door and ran in.

Through the gradually closing door, He Tianyao caught a glimpse of the wide courtyard and the magnificent hall inside. After more than 30 years of operation, the prosperity here is no longer lost to the original sect holy land on Tiandao Mountain.

"This fellow Daoist, you may be a casual cultivator, right?" asked another disciple who stayed behind.

"Sort of. He Tianyao had no intention of chatting at all.

"You shouldn't be a loose cultivator of the Canghai Vein, right?" the little disciple asked again.

"It's not. He Tianyao thought that his coldness would make the little disciple lose his interest in chatting.

But the little disciple still "didn't give up": "Then you must have been practicing in seclusion for a long time, and you haven't been here for a long time, right?"

"You're right. I'm sorry, I'm really not in the mood to talk right now. He Tianyao bowed his hand to the little disciple apologetically.

The little disciple's mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but finally held back, and looked at He Tianyao with a strange and complicated look.
