In the hidden peak, Nan Cheng slowly exhaled turbid air.

In his long hair, his thin cheeks are extremely unhealthy blue, and his slightly sunken pupils are not much because he is too tired, and he is also extremely thin at the moment, and his steps are not steady when walking, like a piece of rusty iron, who can imagine that before entering the hidden peak, he was still a personable noble son.

He took the jade plaque and came to the treasure house for the last time to get the spirit fruit.

"Forty-three. Nan Cheng handed the jade plaque to the old man and reported his number.

The old man took the jade plaque and glanced at it, took the booklet and wrote it down, and said, "There are exactly forty-three pieces left in this jade plaque." ”

Nan Cheng was slightly surprised: "Such a coincidence?"

The old man glanced at him, "You don't know?"

Nan Cheng frowned, thinking that a C-shaped jade plate could take thousands of spirit fruits, and he had used it a few times before, but he had only taken about two hundred, and now he was about to run out...... I didn't expect that senior to take so much, but what was left in it was just enough for me to complete my cultivation.

He was secretly surprised and admired in his heart, and after the old man handed him the spiritual fruit, he took his bag and put it on his back and walked towards the retreat.

When passing by the edge of a hidden peak hanging high in a cave, Nan Cheng suddenly stopped.

He looked up at the window-like cavern.

There was a flash of light.

"This is ......" Nan Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Someone lit up the sword star?"

"The hidden peak here should be close to the halfway point of the mountain, I didn't expect to see it so far away...... Could it be that there is another genius in the Sword Peak?"

Nan Cheng looked at the dark place where the light disappeared in his heart, and a touch of war intent appeared in his heart.

......

At the top of the Heavenly Grotto, the heavy snow is still swept violently, and the wind blows through thousands of caves, and the whistling sound is endless.

Ning Chang stood on the cliff, the stars reflected his eyebrows, the cold wind blew the white clothes, and his figure was as bright as the moon, reflecting the heaven and the earth.

Ning Xiaoling looked at him, all his senses seemed to be taken away at once, and after a long time, the sound of falling snow and wind whistle filled his ears little by little, but with a faint and unreal feeling.

When many people saw this scene, they also had the same illusion in their hearts, obviously he was just an outer disciple, why did he have such a dusty immortal intention?

Lu Married looked at the shattered and disappearing sword armor, and watched the sword intent that seemed to be like fine sand and dust condensed into a line floated out, its edge was a little rough, but the middle line was extremely pure, it revolved around Ning Chang's body, like a small earth dragon around his body.

Lu Yu's wrist was raised slightly, and the sword technique rose and fell silently, and the sword domain was withdrawn, and the violent storm and snow blew into this field again.

"Not badly done. Lu married a faint compliment, and said: "It's just opportunistic, this time you have been preparing for a long time to barely achieve it, but how can everything be like this?"

The starlight gradually dissipated, and the light between the sleeves became fainter and fainter, like dying fireflies.

Ning Chang said: "Thank you for your teachings. ”

Lu Marry held a long sword in her hand, her long hair was scattered like a cloud, and her cold voice sounded again: "Then so be it." ”

The disciple under the snow cliff reacted in hindsight, and Le Rou, who was standing outside the entrance of the inner peak, came back to her senses even later, she twisted her hands in her chest, and immediately let go, moved away with an uneasy expression, and turned around and walked into the shadow of the inner peak.

In the words of Shizun and the other disciples, she also understood how Ning Changjiu did it.

He seemed to have secretly learned a teleportation formation of a good grade, first carved a formation talisman on the sword star and the ground, activated the formation, and then sent the burning firewood stack on the ground to the sword star, so as to ignite the star.

Then he used the same method to move the sword armor in the light domain to the outside of the light domain with a teleportation array, and without the power provided by the starlight, the sword armor would not be able to attack itself.

The whole process was rather long and bloodless, and it didn't take much spiritual power to do all this.

Therefore, some disciples feel that this kind of behavior is just a clever and even shameless act, but Le Rou thinks that she is not a fool, she can still understand the difficulty of this matter, just let the light field of the star light be projected on the formation he drawn, this point, she does not know how to accurately calculate the success.

Maybe Ning Changjiu does have some ability.

It's just that he must have barely practiced in the past two months, and has been thinking about how to use the side door to ignite the sword star, in order to be in the limelight tonight...... Hmph, on the surface, he pretends to be so breezy and calm, but in fact, he is very vain in his heart, such a hypocrite stays in the inner peak, sooner or later he will bring Ning Xiaoling badly, and he may even harm the master!

But fortunately, Master Fangcai's tone was very flat, and he didn't have a very high opinion of his bells and whistles.

In the sky, the starlight faded and everything returned to normal.

Ning Xiaoling walked to his side excitedly and said with a smile: "Senior brother just made it, what is it, so powerful." ”

Ning Changjiu lowered his voice and said, "This is an extremely powerful sword fire ascension technique, I will secretly teach you when I return to the room." ”

Ning Xiaoling nodded suspiciously.

She spread out her palm, and the sword intent in her palm condensed into a soft line, like a willow branch in the spring breeze.

"This sword intent seems to like me very much. Ning Xiaoling looked at the palm of his hand, like a fish watching a pond by the water.

Ning Changchang said: "Senior sister is naturally loved by everyone. ”

"Senior brother is lying again. Ning Xiaoling rolled her eyes with a smile, closed her palm, and held the sword intent in her palm.

Lu Married explained. "These sword stars are hung in the sky by the ancestor of the founding mountain, each one hides a lot of sword intent, the patriarch's cultivation is said to have reached the five realms, these sword intent has been a wisp, incorporated into the body or embedded in the sword, for the way of sword cultivation, are of great benefit.

Ning Xiaoling nodded and said, "Master Ancestor is really a good person, and he will bless Sword Peak for a hundred years after his death." ”

Ning Changjiu closed his hand, he raised his head, looked at the stars floating in mid-air, and said, "Their material seems to be very special. ”

Lu married and said, "According to the records of the sect scrolls, these sword stars are all made from the remains of flying stars outside the sky. ”

Ning Changjiu was slightly surprised: "It's actually something outside the sky?"

Lu married and said: "Well, among the four peaks, only the Heavenly Cave Peak hangs these sword stars. ”

She didn't seem to want to explain too much about this, so she suddenly turned her back and looked at the disciples who were still looking at them scattered under the snow cliff, and said, "This time the burning star is over, you all go back, it's not too late for tomorrow's morning class." ”

The disciples under the snow cliff collected the surprise in their hearts and bowed one by one.

Ning Chang said: "That disciple also retired. ”

Lu married and said softly: "Wait." ”

Ning Changchang asked, "What else is there to do Master?"

Lu Wedding asked, "Where did you learn that little flying air array?"

Ning Chang said: "I saw it in a book in the pavilion, and I thought it was very interesting, so I studied it. ”

Lu asked again: "Then what is your true realm now?"

Ning Chang said: "I haven't entered the mystery yet." ”

Lu Marry's eyes trembled slightly, his expression was a little annoyed, and he said, "You still want to lie to me?"

Ning Changjiu said sincerely: "If it is to enter the Xuan, I don't have to go to such great lengths, my current realm is indeed not enough to light up that star." ”

Lu married a sigh, did not ask questions, and said softly: "After Chinese New Year's Eve, what are your plans?"

Every year on the half month of Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the disciples will go down the mountain to visit their relatives.

Ning Changjiu asked rhetorically, "What are your plans?"

Lu married and said: "When I went up the mountain with my master, I was the only one in my family who died, and now for nearly twenty years, the red dust has faded, and there is nothing to remember about the love of the family, of course, I will continue to stay on the mountain." ”

Ning Chang said: "Aren't there still elders living in seclusion in the mountains? ”

Lu Married nodded and said, "Having said that, what joy is there in the world? Although the Chinese New Year's Eve Lantern Festival is beautiful, the Yingge Yan Dance is dazzling, and I will be tired after a long time." ”

Ning Xiaoling listened to their conversation, pondered the words of her senior brother, and suddenly asked, "Why don't we go to Zhao Kingdom to find Sister Xiang'er for the New Year?"

Ning Chang glanced at her with relief and said, "I think Senior Sister's proposal is worth considering. ”

Lu Marrying sneered and said, "It's only been two months, can't you stay up?"

Ning Changjiu turned a deaf ear to her ridicule, and just asked, "Shizun wants to go with you?"

Lu married and stood silently for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly, and said: "It's rare to be idle, many things are depressed and piled up in my heart, and my sword heart is dusty, after all, it is not a way, I want to retreat in the peak main hall for a month, if you go to see Miss Zhao together, you will say hello to her on my behalf." ”

Ning Xiaoling whispered, "Master really doesn't go with you?"

"No, it's good to be a teacher and cultivate on the mountain. ”

Lu Married shook her head lightly and walked into the snowy night alone.

......

The fog is heavy in the middle of the night, after the heavy stone cliff is covered, the main hall of the peak is like a white jade brick, a wall of ice is pulled up between the snow, when you look at it from afar, it is like seeing the bright moon fairy palace, but when you look closely, it is solemn and ancient, and the wall is mottled with a faint moon shadow.

Lu Marrying stopped at the gate of the main hall of the peak.

The main hall of the Four Peaks Peak, those who can enter the master, are all great cultivators above the Purple Court, only she has the lowest realm, the lowest in history, the previous peak lord has high hopes for her, and regards her as the future of Tiangu Peak, but no matter how bright the future is, it cannot be turned into the current spring.

Before the cold winter wax moon passed, and the heavy snow had not yet penetrated the court and turned into flying flowers, she stood in front of the main hall of the peak, let out a long sigh, and walked in quietly.

The curtain was like an ice veil, and the faint light shadow reflected her snow-white sword dress through the veil, and the hall was open, making her body appear smaller and smaller.

"What the hell am I doing...... Lu Zaimari closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and muttered to himself.

In the past two months, my cultivation has barely progressed, is it because I personally lecture to my disciples that I attach importance to them, or is it because I can't accept myself now, and I am deliberately avoiding my cultivation?

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Once from entering the Xuan to the Upper Realm of Longevity, she was almost as powerful as a bamboo, and the master's evaluation of her was also the posture of heaven and man, and she was expected to be five realms.

But now, the past has become a mental obstacle.

What's more, at the time of the Imperial City, many people and things left an indelible shadow on her sword heart.

For example, when the old fox showed an almost invincible realm, for example, when the stranger on the long street on a rainy day took the sword and left, there were also Ning Xiaoling and Zhao Xiang'er...... And in the end, the Heavenly Demon broke through the sea of clouds, and the overwhelming fear and power overwhelmed her sword heart and didn't dare to raise an inch of it.

This is a sense of fear that becomes clearer and clearer the higher the realm.

Even if she later suppressed the fear in her heart and controlled the sword Jiulingtai, but after she survived by luck, what followed in those eyes was another knife that suddenly lit up, and that knife has now been deliberately erased, and it is just a vague shadow in her mind, but it still makes her give birth to a sense of powerlessness that is beautiful and beautiful, and everything is insignificant.

This is enough to make mortals fascinated for the rest of their lives, but it is fatal to her when the sword heart is broken and the avenue is shaking.

Because I have seen too strong swords and knives, I dare not make a move, as if all my moves are just the chopping of a child holding a bamboo knife.

She even knew that what she was trapped in at the moment was just a simple mental barrier, but for some reason, she could not break it.

The cold wind entered the temple, and the candles flickered.

The wind blew the green silk draped on Xiu's back to the sides, blowing the hem that clinged to the thighs and lifted forward, Lu Married turned slightly sideways, and closed the door with a single thought.

The candlelight stabilized.

Lu married and sat down on the cold jade-like collapse, crossed his knees and fingers, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The emotions that had accumulated in his chest today erupted at the moment when Ning Changjiu lit up the Sword Star.

She knew that Ning Changjiu's physical condition at the moment was much worse than herself, but Rao was like this, he still did something almost impossible, and what was he waiting for, what was he doing? Why didn't he even have the courage to meditate and face his demons?

What a teacher?

She closed her eyes, her mind sinking a little, and she fell into meditation.

On the Heavenly Cave Peak, the sword star had already been extinguished after the sword armor was shattered, but Lu Marry's heart slowly lit up a little light, and then more and more glimmers lit up in her body, it was her sword heart that had gradually fallen apart in the past two months.

For the first time, she began to try to piece them together.

......

......

Three days later, Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, morning classes were suspended, the sword field was cold, and the disciples among the quiet peaks were gradually decreasing, and only the residual snow was blown away.

Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling said goodbye to Lu Marrying together, and walked down the mountain path of Tianguo Peak.

Outside the peach curtain, the immortal boat was suspended in the air, and several elders were outside to guide and protect the disciples' homecoming.

"What a big ship...... Ning Xiaoling looked at the floating boat and sighed.

Ning Chang said: "That's a cloud boat, the ordinary flying sword is too narrow, it's not safe to step on, and it can't accommodate a few people, the real immortal family travels, either it's a private treasure like a blue and white sedan chair marrying a lot, or it's a fairy boat like this." ”

Ning Xiaoling exclaimed: "Our sect is really magnificent. ”

Ning Chang smiled: "Of course, there are both immortal swords and immortal ships, how generous." ”

Ning Xiaoling didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Hmm, what kind of sword did Senior Brother say?"

Ning didn't answer for a long time, just smiled and pulled Ning Xiaoling to board a cloud boat, and the helmsman on the boat was wrapped in a big fur and dozing, and when he looked at it, it was Lu Yuanbai.

"Uncle Lu?" Ning Changchang was slightly startled and smiled: "What a coincidence." ”

Lu Yuanbai was also shocked, and then looked at the little girl who followed him, and said with a smile: "The little girl is really rare to see, when she was ranked third in the snow field when she heard the sword, she was already shocked, and a few days ago, the star broke through the realm and there was an uproar in the audience, your little sister Le Rou was so angry that her ears were red, and she was very brilliant." ”

Ning Xiaoling said politely: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your compliment." ”

Lu Yuanbai laughed even happier when he heard this, and said, "Where are you going to go?"

Ning Xiaoling opened his mouth and said, "Go to Emperor Zhao's ......"

Ning Changjiu interrupted: "Let's go to Linhe City first." ”

"Ah, Linhe City?" Ning Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that that was the place where they had stayed with Ning Baoshui before.

Senior brother wouldn't really be worried about Ning Baoshui's private money......

Ning Xiaoling sighed and said, "Then listen to Senior Brother." ”

......

......
