() "What are you talking about?" Zhu Honglie's loud voice with a hint of anger echoed in the Hall of Morality, and the other immortal cultivators immediately quieted down and turned their eyes to this side.

Zhu Xiaomin was standing in front of Zhu Honglie, and strangely, she was wearing an ordinary white shirt, holding the Shadow Sword Sleeve in her right hand, and carrying a burden in her left hand. "I've decided. Her tone was calm and stubborn.

Zhou Hongyu came over to play a round and said with a smile: "Sect Master Zhu, Shun Qi, what's the big deal? Xiaomin, why are you dressed like this?"

Zhu Xiaomin turned sideways and bowed to Zhou Hongyu and said, "Elder Zhou, I was about to tell you too. Xiaomin has been worshipping the Taiqing Sect since he was twelve years old, and has won the love of the sect master's grandfather and the elders. The painting shadow sword is here, and Xiaomin's original object is returned. She carried the burden on her shoulders and held the shadow sword in front of Zhou Hongyu with both hands.

Zhou Hongyu's mind didn't turn for a while: "Where are you going to leave Taiqing Sect?"

"This girl wants to learn from her grandmother and give up cultivating immortals!" Zhu Honglie was very dissatisfied, "It's crazy!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Taiqian also came over and persuaded: "Little girl, why do you want to give up cultivating immortals? Isn't it a pity that you have first-class roots?" Zhu Honglie has boasted in front of others more than once how good Zhu Xiaomin's roots are, so the sect masters all know that he has a great-granddaughter who can be called a "genius in cultivating immortals" in Taiqing Sect.

"Cultivating immortals is just a passing day. The people of the past have passed away, what can they do if they become a sword immortal? Xiao Min is willing to re-enter the mortal world, and there is nothing wrong with being plain. Zhu Xiaomin showed melancholy in a few words, "Grandpa Zeng, I have made up my mind, you don't have to force me to keep me anymore." After speaking, she bowed deeply to Zhu Honglie, who was flushed with anger, put the Shadow Sword on the table, and turned around and walked out of the hall.

When she was about to step out of the palace gate, Zhu Honglie sighed deeply, grabbed the Shadow Sword and threw it at Zhu Xiaomin, shouting, "Next!"

Zhu Xiaomin turned around and caught the fairy sword and looked at Zhu Honglie puzzled. Zhu Honglie shook his head with his hand: "It's really the same temper as Qingxue back then." This sword has been with you for more than 20 years, so take it with you. If you change your mind in the future, you can come back to me. He turned to Zhou Hongyu again and said, "The Red Sun Sect is willing to exchange a top-grade immortal sword for that painting shadow sword, and I hope Elder Zhou will not blame me for making my own decisions." ”

"Sect Master Zhu doesn't have to be like this, just a good immortal sword, how can Taiqing Sect be reluctant? It's just Xiaomin...... It's a pity. Zhou Hongyu was very sorry.

Zhu Xiaomin put the sword holster on his back, bowed again, and withdrew from the Hall of Morality. Zhu Honglie was stunned, and sat down on the chair, his eyes still resting on the closed door of the hall, thoughtful. When others saw him so lost, they didn't want to bother him with words. Although there are many people in the Hall of Morality, it is full of a lonely and lonely atmosphere.

Zhu Xiaomin bowed his head all the way out of the mountain gate, but found Han Mingfei, Tang Junhe, and Hua Qingyu standing at the door.

Tang Junhe burst into tears, and stepped forward with the support of Hua Qingyu, who was in tears, and the two hugged Zhu Xiaomin tightly. "Xiaomin......" Tang Junhe was so choked up that he couldn't speak, Zhu Xiaomin couldn't cry, Han Mingfei's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear to turn his head.

After crying silently for a long time, Zhu Xiaomin said softly: "Second Senior Sister, the injuries of you and Senior Brother are not healed, Sister Qingyu has been working hard since the beginning of the war, so she should have a good rest." Go back to the Bamboo Garden, I'll ...... Going to go. ”

Tang Junhe remembered that there were only a few people left in the lively bamboo garden in the past, and said more and more sadly: "Xiaomin, you and I are goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet again...... In the past, all the people in Zhuyuan experienced the hardships of life, death, separation, and parting, and only the four of us were left, but in the future, we will go our separate ways, and the sky will be separated, so how can I give up ......"

"Xiaomin, although we are not sisters, our feelings have long overridden them. Now that my sisters are separated, it is like cutting off my hands and feet, this unforgettable pain, I am afraid that I will never forget it in this life......" Hua Qingyu tears are like springs.

"Second Senior Sister, Sister Qingyu, there is no feast in the world. Although you and I go our separate ways, this friendship will always exist in Xiaomin's heart. Go back quickly, and when I miss you, I will go to the Wuling Mountains to see you. Zhu Xiaomin wiped away her tears and squeezed out a smile.

Tang Junhe nodded silently. Hua Qingyu took out a beautiful hairpin from her sleeve and gave it to Zhu Xiaomin as a souvenir. Han Mingfei patted her on the shoulder and said, "Little junior sister, everything is precious." ”

Zhu Xiaomin shook his fist at the three of them and stepped on the familiar six thousand steps of Tiandao Mountain. Walking around the corner and looking back, the three of them still kept waving goodbye.

Zhu Xiaomin also waved his hand, sighed, turned the corner, and the gate of the Taiqing Sect was gradually hidden behind the mountain rocks.

"The clouds are weeping and the snow is falling,

Compassion and emptiness.

This is the lonely road,

When the love is still not over.

Heaven and water are on each side,

Return to the red world.

Wait until the day of fate,

It's never too late to meet. ”

Zhu Xiaomin chanted this parting poem softly and strode down the mountain.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, she suddenly found Qin Yuejie standing in the distance, dressed in cloth clothes and carrying a package on his back, waiting for her.

"Xiaomin, I'll go with you. Qin Yuejie's eyes were extremely firm.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled faintly: "The way of cultivating immortals, I have nothing to cherish, but you are different." You'd better go back. With that, she waved her hand and moved on.

Qin Yuejie stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve: "I only miss you." ”

Zhu Xiaomin turned his head sideways: "'It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to be wet, and to foam each other. 'Why are you doing this......

"The world is complicated, all kinds of things in the world, just floating clouds and light winds, but this meaning is eternal. Xiaomin, for the sake of you, I am willing to give up cultivating immortals

, but to be able to always accompany the side, this is enough, there is nothing else. The two looked at each other, Qin Yuejie's gaze was clear and hot, but Zhu Xiaomin's face turned red first, turned his head embarrassedly, stuffed the burden into Qin Yuejie's hand, and stepped forward.

Qin Yuejie was overjoyed, hurriedly straddled the burden on his shoulders, chased after him, and suddenly saw Zhu Xiaomin pursing his lips and smiling, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover. Zhu Xiaomin said word by word. The two held hands and stepped into the brilliant afterglow of the sunset together.

After the people of the Qinglong Continent returned to their homes, the Xueqing Inn in various state cities opened again, and under the operation of the new female boss, the business was booming and returned to its former glory. That's for later.

......

A hint of coldness flowed down the corners of his mouth and into his mouth.

It was pitch black and silent.

The smell of earth penetrated into his nose, and he slowly opened his eyes, but he could see nothing.

"Good...... ...... pain" accompanied by a slight moan, he tried to move his limbs, but his body went limp. It was as if there was a mountain pressing on the body, it was very heavy, and every beat of the heart would cause the body to tremble. The whole body was cold, and only the fiery feeling from the dantian supported the weak body.

"Where am I ......?" he closed his eyes and thought about the last fragment of his memory in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes widened, "I'm not dead!" In an instant, he also figured everything out, and smiled bitterly, "Presumably they thought I was dead and buried me......"

"What should I do now? I didn't expect my mother's arrogant pill to be so powerful that it could actually recover my injuries? Could it be that she expected that my dantian would be damaged in advance?" Thinking of the scene where my mother was pierced by the peerless fairy sword, and the scene when my mother stuffed a pill into her mouth while touching her cheek, Tianxiao couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I don't have the strength now anyway, it's better to lie down for a while." ”

Fortunately, the cold water droplets penetrated the covering soil on Tianxiao's body, and the fragrance of the earth flowed into his mouth, moistening his thirsty throat. "Maybe this is melting snow, right?" Tianxiao suddenly wanted to laugh, "I wonder if there will be a tablet erected outside that reads 'He Tianxiao's Tomb'?"

"Huh, no, this warm power in my body is ......" When Tianxiao tried to run the Xuanli Zhoutian, he inadvertently discovered a strange "skill" around the dantian, and it was this faint "skill" that was nourishing his dantian, and it was becoming less and less, and finally turned into a trace of Xuanli and integrated into the dantian. "Could it be the Xuan Qi inside the Sky Splitting Knife? I've never heard of aura that can automatically enter the body to repair the dantian, so Xuan Qi must be the same, right? Forget it, no matter what, it's probably the mother's arrogant pill that has a miraculous effect. By the way, my mother also sent a message to me to go back to the cave on the island, and I will go back when I go out in a while. ”

After making up his mind, Tianxiao quietly closed his eyes and rested. The dantian is just healing, and it needs to recuperate for a while. In fact, Tianxiao didn't know that the arrogant pill that Mrs. Xiao gave him could only make him fall into a state of suspended animation to repair ordinary injuries, but could not repair the dantian. At that time, Mrs. Xiao knew that her fate would not be long, so she could only think of this method, so that Tianxiao had a little hope to hide from the sword immortal and gain a trace of vitality. In the whole world, maybe only Hua Qianxue knows the way to repair the dantian, but Tianxiao's dantian was completely destroyed under Chu Yuanhui's attack, and I am afraid that letting Hua Qianxue rule it can only keep Tianxiao immortal.

The warm and moisturizing power of repairing the dantian was actually formed by the fusion of the three medicinal powers of the Great Dan, the Heavenly Demon Pill, and the spicy red pill, combined with the powerful Xuan Qi in the Splitting Void Knife. Since the Great Pill made Tianxiao fall into a coma and led to the Xuan Qi of the Splitting Void Knife, the Heavenly Demon Pill eased the medicinal properties of the red pill, and the pungency of the red pill gave the Xuanwen a sense of heat, plus the Great Dan, the Heavenly Demon Pill, and the Red Pill all had extremely excellent healing effects, and then with the assistance of endless Xuan Qi, the Tianxiao Broken Dantian was finally slowly repaired. In short, all conditions are indispensable, and even the order of taking Dan can't be wrong, but fortunately, Hua Qingyu and they bet right.

But they didn't know that Tianxiao's death was a fake death, so they moved his and Xiao Liying's bodies to Fenglu Valley and buried them.

Tianxiao fell asleep again while recuperating. Until a dull thunderclap woke him up, and small streams of water seeped through the soil, and it seemed that it was raining outside.

Tianxiao tried to move his body, and the feeling of ease and ease was extremely comfortable, he lifted his arms upwards and sat up from the grave. It was already dark outside, and the cool breeze mixed with the rain swept by, moistening the earth.

On the night of early spring, thunder and rain are not sudden, and it is warm and cool. It turned out that Tianxiao had already spent the winter in the grave! He took a deep breath, it felt good to be alive!

He looked around and saw that there was one more tomb next to his grave, and two others in the distance. There is no tombstone in front of his tomb, and there is no one next to him, and there are two whitish pieces of wood standing in front of the tomb in the distance, and the words on them are not clear.

Tianxiao's tears burst out of his eyes, and he had already guessed that the two in the distance were the tombs of his beloved master and his mother, and the one next to him was Xiao Liying's tomb.

Liying...... It's me who hurt you, it's me who hurt you......" Tianxiao muttered softly in his mouth, tears and raindrops fell in front of the tomb, he couldn't blame Chu Yuanhui, who was originally well-intentioned, he could only sigh and make people. After standing for a long time, Tianxiao slowly came to the tomb of the master and the master, knelt down with a "poof", and kowtowed ten times in a row. "Master, Master, I will never forget your kindness to me, and I will always remember what Master taught me: 'Those who do good will be respected, and those who do evil will be punished', so you can rest assured. Tianxiao cried.

Then, he looked at the sky from afar and knelt down to the hazy mountain peaks in the distance: "Grandpa, you treat me like a grandson, but I have no chance to repay you...... If we have the fate to say goodbye to Brother Yao, we will definitely take good care of each other, cultivate hard, and we will definitely achieve something in the future, so as to comfort you in heaven

The Spirit. I don't know where you are buried, Tianxiao has no choice but to say goodbye, and when there is a chance, I will definitely go to the grave to pay respects. ”

Tianxiao realized that this Qinglong Continent, where immortals were respected, was not a place for him to stay for a long time after all. When his mother was dying, he asked him to "find a way to escape back", but he didn't think about it at the time, and now he wants to "go back" The place should be the mysterious Sky Flame Continent. So he made up his mind: "After I go back to the isolated island cave to obtain my mother's relics, I will use the Sky Splitting Knife to cross the fog of the East China Sea." ”

Gradually, the spring rains stopped. After Tianxiao re-piled his grave, he whispered to Xiao Liying's tomb: "Liying......" The sadness and unbearability in his heart surged to his lips, but he felt that any goodbye seemed so pale and powerless. This feeling can only be quietly placed in the heart.

"The love of this life is in a hurry,

The unfinished fate is in my heart.

The vast blue sky is especially visible,

The vast earth knows my feelings.

Liying, I'm leaving......" Tianxiao said his last goodbye to his lover, and left the Valley of Wind and Law three times in one step.

This mountain road leading to the bamboo garden was very familiar to Tianxiao, and when the hazy bamboo garden appeared in view, Tianxiao recalled the situation when he and Tianyao practiced bamboo swords under the guidance of Han Mingfei when they had just entered the Taiqing Sect.

"I don't know how the senior brother, the second senior sister, Sister Qingyu, and Xiaomin are doing now, have they recovered from their injuries?" Tianxiao held back his thoughts, suppressed the urge to enter the bamboo garden, and left in a hurry. This is not the time to reunite. If you want to leave Tiandao Mountain from the Wind Law Valley, you must pass through the Taiqing Sect. Tianxiao must be careful not to let others find out. Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and there was silence in the sect.

However, how to hide from the eyes of the disciples guarding the door is a big problem. Tianxiao couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he had to stick to the courtyard wall of the courtyard and approach the sect, intending to wait for an opportunity to move.

After Tianxiao approached the sect, he was puzzled, the gate was tightly closed, there were no disciples guarding the door, and even the torches for lighting were extinguished. "What's going on?" he walked to the door, and found it dirty and muddy. He boldly pulled the knocker with his hand, and the two doors "creaked" open. Tianxiao was startled, for fear of alarming others, and hurriedly looked behind him, but the courtyard was still quiet. "Strange, people?" he couldn't understand why the gate was so dirty, why there were no disciples guarding the door, and there was a deathly silence all around.

With doubts, Tianxiao closed the gate and walked down the mountain. There was a lot of moss growing on the six thousand steps of Tiandao Mountain, and it seemed that no one had walked this road for a long time.

When we were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, a woodcutter came up from the bottom of the mountain. When Leng Buding bumped into Tianxiao, the woodcutter was startled: "You, who are you? Why did you come down from the mountain?"

Finally met someone, Tianxiao hurriedly asked, "This uncle, don't panic." I went to Taiqing Sect to find a friend, but after calling the door for a long time, no one opened it for me, so I had to come down. ”

The woodcutter breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the handle of the knife exposed behind Tianxiao's back, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are here to find someone." The Taiqing Sect moved out more than two months ago, don't you know? It seems that the immortal cultivators have united to form a 'Qinglong Sect', and they have all moved to the Wuling Mountain Range. You're so ill-informed, I guess you must be a loose cultivator, right?"

Tianxiao finally understood, it turned out that there was really no one in the sect. "It seems that this fairy and demon war has dealt a big blow to the immortal cultivation world, and it is no wonder that they will unite. Tianxiao thought to himself. "I see, thank you uncle for telling me and take my leave. ”

The immortal cultivators have all moved away, which is also good news for Tianxiaolai. At least the way back to the island was a lot safer. At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the sky rose up and flew towards the south. Of course, the sword still has that heavy sword-like scabbard on it.

Tianxiao rested during the day, hurried at night, and returned to the island after four days. He went straight to the cave where he used to rest, looking for the relics left by his mother. The cave is not big, but Tianxiao searched all over and found nothing. Could it be that it was hidden in some secret place? He remembered that the Heavenly Feud Demon Knife was hidden by Madame Xiao in a cave hidden by a pile of rubble, so he inspected every depression and crack in the cave wall inch by inch. Unfortunately, after a busy night, nothing was found.

"Whew...... Could it be that my mother sent me back to the island at that time, just to let me cultivate in this hidden world? Where is 'trying to escape back' and 'going back'?"

Because of this leaning, bursts of dust fell from the side wall of the platform, and Tianxiao glanced at it casually, but found a strange place. On the wall of the table after the dust fell, there was a darker place. "What is this?" He hurriedly got closer to take a closer look, and gently brushed the dust with his hand, which turned out to be a horizontal stroke! There are words in this wall! Tian Xiao was overjoyed, took out the Heavenly Enemy Knife, and gently scraped it on the platform wall according to the original method of carving the "Dragon Swimming Body Method", removing the surface layer, revealing the true face of the inner layer.

Tianxiao was taken aback, only to see that the inner layer of the platform wall was engraved with dense fly's head small characters, the first four words were slightly larger, Tianxiao took a closer look through the faint light of the morning light outside the cave, it was "Peng, An, knife, Dian" four words. "Peng'an Knife Dictionary! Isn't this exactly the knife technique that my mother instructed me?" Tianxiao hurriedly continued to read, but the light was too dim, and the characters were very small, so he had to rely on his hand to make out the handwriting. "That's right, that's right, this is the "Peng'an Sword Classic"! It turns out that my mother has already engraved the inner layer of this wall!" Tianxiao was excited, but after thinking about it, "No, the width of this wall is limited, even if the handwriting is small, it is impossible to finish carving!" He quickly touched the lower right corner of the wall, and sure enough, only half of the sentence was gone.

Tianxiao also cut off a layer on both sides of the head and tail of the platform wall, but it was empty, and there was not a word.

"Could it be ......?" an idea suddenly popped into his mind, no longer in a hurry, but as before, he sat on the platform and meditated quietly to pranayama.
