"Ning Yi, see the letter. I don't know when I'll see you...... There are many things in the sky, and only when I write a letter can I be a little more at peace. ”

In the study room in the east wing, the lights are flickering.

On the first day of each month, there will be a letter sent to Xiaoshuang Mountain in Shushan.

It's also this day.

Xu Qingyan will sit in front of the desk lamp in the east chamber, slowly writing down the trivial things she experienced last month, from Zhongzhou to the west, the road is twists and turns, for her current status, it is not difficult to ask someone to send a letter, but she does not want to trouble the messenger in the palace because of this trivial matter, and usually writes the letter early in advance, giving enough time, so that the horses at the post station do not have to run around overnight.

Since it's a peaceful day, you might as well let the carriage and horses slow down.

It's become a habit.

Xu Qingyan sat at the desk, sitting for an hour or two, she slowly wrote this letter, pouring out all the things she had seen and heard in the past few days, joy, boredom, and boredom, in Tiandu City...... She had no friends and no old friends.

In this world, after losing her brother, she now only has "Ning Yi".

A soft face was reflected in the lamplight.

Before you know it, it's dawn.

Outside, there was a very light, distant sound of rooster crowing.

There was a knock outside the door.

Miss Xiao Zhao held the hem of her sleeve with one hand, and with the other hand she bent her fingers, gently knocked on the door, and said softly:

"Little Lord. ”

Xu Qingyan rubbed her eyes, and she folded the letter.

Xiao Zhao outside the door said slowly:

"Are you going to Luojia Mountain to practice today?"

As an example, it's going to go.

The door was pushed open, Xu Qingyan stood up, she put on the big coat handed over by Xiao Zhao behind her, turned around slightly, and looked at the newly grown "woman" in the mirror: her skin was like fine snow, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her smile was touching.

Even though he has watched it countless times, Xiao Zhao is still a little distracted.

She bowed slightly, and handed a black hat in both hands.

Xu Qingyan smiled at the bronze mirror, then reached out to take the hat, and the moment he put it on, the smile disappeared, and his eyes returned to calm.

People always change.

In three years, a lot has changed.

But when she travels, she still habitually wears that hat to cover her appearance and avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Although he has already appeared once in the Lotus Dojo.

She has seen "living beings".

But the "beings" did not see her.

The news of "Miss Xu in the East Chamber" is spreading in the Tiandu, but except for a few powerful people and officialdom leaders in the Lotus Dojo at the beginning, no one has seen Xu Qingyan's true face.

No one dared to touch his moldy head, not even a trace of evil thoughts.

"I won't go to Luojia Mountain today. She pressed down her hat with one hand and said, "I'm going to the West." ”

"Westside?"

Xiao Zhao was a little distracted.

Before getting on the carriage, Xu Qingyan smiled softly at a small eunuch at the gate of the East Chamber: "If it is the day to send the letter, I have not returned to the East Chamber, take out the letter in the study and send it to the special person." ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to ask or say more, but he still asked cautiously, "The little eunuch is going to go far away?"

Xu Qingyan hummed softly.

The little eunuch lowered his head, and his voice was extremely thin: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said ......"

"I know what to do. Xu Qingyan's attitude was not too strong, and he interrupted the "newcomer in the palace" who kindly reminded him, and said to the carriage driver in front of him: "Out of the heavenly capital, go west." ”

The carriage driver is obviously an old fritter who is skilled, not to mention driving away from the East Chamber, the speed in the palace is tepid, and it looks no different from usual, so the golden armor guards at the palace gate and the city tower thought that this girl surnamed Xu was just going to Luojia Mountain to practice as usual, and she would return day and night, and she would not stay for more than three days at most.

Out of the Tiandu City.

Xu Qingyan said lightly: "Go to Purple Mountain." ”

The carriage turned in one direction and rode through the noise of smoke and dust.

Purple Mountain?

Xiao Zhao looked at his little master.

Through a layer of soap veil of black hats, I can't see what kind of face and what kind of expression is under that layer of soap veil.

Purple Mountain is the most mysterious sacred mountain in the Great Sui world.

Chu Xuan's predecessors rescued Pei Lingsu, the orphan of the General's Mansion, this matter was not brought to the table, everyone in the high-level of the Great Sui knew about it, but they were all silent, and the prince seemed to be busy raising some things in recent years...... There may be some big action to follow, but it's been a long time.

The reason lies in the truth of Changling.

Whether the emperor lives or dies after leaving has become a mystery, and the truth behind this mystery is like a heavy stone, weighing heavily on Li Baijiao's heart.

He was overwhelmed.

The prince is cautious by nature, even if he is greedy, he still doesn't dare to make any moves, in recent years, he seems to have some unspeakable thoughts about his little master, but every time he has impulsive thoughts, he always thinks of the night when Emperor Taizong was furious three years ago, and in the end he can only swallow his anger and treat him well, and he has never forced Xu Qingyan to do anything he is not willing to do.

After Changling, it has been three years.

Three-year ......

Three years is just a snap of a finger.

In his life, he has spent decades trying to probe, and finally by chance, he held the "throne" on the chess game.

He must not accept that he has been operating for decades because of a single thought that is overturned.

He could have waited another three years, another three years!

As long as he can sit up safely and have no worries, he can continue to wait for another two or three years, during this time, the Lotus Pavilion easily took over all the power of Tiandu, and the east is quiet, of course the second prince will not be stupid to return to Tiandu, but the gecko broke his tail and cut off all his power in Tiandu, giving up the business for decades.

The prince did not have the idea of moving the "black lotus flower", at least not yet, so the two survived in peace, which can be called a wonder of the Great Sui for nearly a thousand years.

Well water does not interfere with river water.

But the river is already raging, and it may flood this 40,000-mile land at any moment.

Li Baijiao doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to wait, and then hold everything, and he can have everything.

Like his father.

The world is big, and the common people are small.

This pattern is, at worst, "forbearance".

But to put it mildly, it is "cowardice".

The reason for all this is because the man who sat on the throne at the beginning was too powerful, leaving too deep a shadow on the three heirs under the throne.

......

......

Purple Mountain is uninhabited.

But at the mountain gate, there was heavy snow in the west, and it was silvery white.

The mountain gate of the Purple Mountain cannot be broken by ordinary people, so even if someone strays into this place and goes around in circles, they will generally turn around for a few hours in a daze, and then be sent away in a daze, unless it is a premeditated "Great Array Mage" who has come here, ordinary cultivators will not see the slightest clue.

This formation was laid out by the "old man of Purple Mountain" back then, for the sake of Chu Xuan's affection.

The "old man of Purple Mountain", surnamed Lu.

In the depths of the Purple Mountain, there are stone monuments one after another.

In the Great Sui world, each sacred mountain has its own strengths, and what the Purple Mountain has deleted is the most mysterious forbidden realm in the world.

Forbidden art of life and death.

Purple Mountain has always been deserted and silent.

It is said that there was a vigorous "war" in the western border of the Great Sui, and a certain remote vassal king thought that the Purple Mountain had few people but a large area, so he gathered tens of thousands of troops to try to capture this holy mountain, remove the name of the Purple Mountain, and monopolize the mountain gate as his own palace.

At that time, there were only a few people up and down the Purple Mountain.

So when the vassal king rushed to kill, the purple mountain was a hundred miles away, the sky was turned upside down, the coffin broke out of the ground, the forbidden art of life and death shined, tens of thousands of Yin soldiers crawled out of the ground, and the sound of shouting and killing was boiling in the sky, and the iron law of the Great Sui Imperial Power was shielded from the formation, and it was the Lionheart King who sat on the throne of the Great Sui two thousand years ago, and the Lionheart King did not take action to strangle the Purple Mountain Forbidden Technique, but silently watched this war end with the defeat of his "royal blood relatives".

The imposing Lionheart King did not punish Purple Mountain severely, but went to the mountain in person, apologized, and finally barely saved the life of the vassal king's blood relative.

After that, even if the Lionheart's ruler was overthrown, there was still no one to challenge the forbidden realm of the Purple Mountain.

No one knows how many coffins are buried in the Purple Mountain.

As long as the Purple Mountain still has the power of the Nirvana realm, even if there is only one person on the mountain...... Not to be underestimated.

One case per person.

After the defeat of the vassal king, he was rescued from the Purple Mountain by the Lionheart King and brought back to the palace, after which he lost his soul and collapsed.

It is said that the vassal king was also a powerful cultivator of the Nirvana realm back then, but in the duel with the Purple Mountain Lord, he saw an incredible and terrifying scene.

On the battlefield within a radius of 100 miles, after the generals under his command died in battle, his soul returned to the Purple Mountain and turned into a rushing armor soldier again, but he ran towards his own army.

This scene had a great impact on the psychology of the vassal king.

But I want to make a great power of the Nirvana realm, and his divine mind be hit hard...... There are definitely other things out there.

This is what makes Purple Mountain fearful.

The Unknowable.

No one has set foot on the mountain gate, and even if they have the fate to step in, they can't go deep.

Stone monuments, covered with heavy snow, birds chirp softly, it doesn't sound miserable, break through the fog and walk into the purple mountain, in fact, it is not a dead man's graveyard twilight appearance, there are mountains, water and spirits.

Purple gas comes from the east, it is an auspicious place.

The coffin is buried deep in the ground, if there is no secret art to lead, the yin qi flows along the dragon vein, and it will not break through the ground, walking on the purple mountain road, you will only feel that the whole body is comfortable, things have a yin and a yang black and white sides, life and death are eternally opposed, but if you can break the avenue and gently twist the mirror, you may be able to reverse the world.

Xu Zang's sword path is Dacheng's "life and death sword way".

In the past thousand years, the cultivation of sword intent corresponds to the realm of starlight, and a heavy building is a heavy realm, and there has almost never been a sword cultivator, like Xu Zang, who directly ascended to the top in one step and comprehended the existence of a complete sword path.

One step into nirvana.

He is also the strongest in the forbidden realm of life and death.

This kind of sword cultivation, pushed forward by a thousand years, two thousand years, is unheard of in the vast history.

A madman.

A madman who has cultivated to the realm of the impossible.

Xu Zang's success is, of course, due to his own extremely amazing talent and extremely crazy ideas...... But in fact, this road requires countless coincidences, heavy blows, rushing to the realm, burning everything to death, and finally the opportunity to bury the bones in the Purple Mountain.

From birth to death, to death.

Xu is hidden in the place where the purple mountain closes, it is a vast cave that has been opened up separately, the spiritual energy in the cave is dense, and the vitality and death qi converge and emerge, such as the dragon and snake entangled, this is the most mysterious place in the purple mountain.

If there is really a place to reverse life and death in the Purple Mountain, then it is this cave sky.

This cave is called "Wind and Snow Plain".

......

......

Pei Yatou has been in retreat in the "Wind and Snow Plain" for a long time.

The sword qi blows, and the grass swayes.

The girl in red, tied with pigtails, sat on the huge branch of the ancient tree, her feet swaying, her clothes hunting, and she looked at her disciple with some pity.

The wind and snow fields sometimes swept the frost grass, sometimes the wind and waves were calm, and everything was silent, but the little girl in the purple robe sat cross-legged in the center of the grassland, not moving, one after another inscription runes, like a tornado, around the thin but resolute figure of the woman.

It can't help but make people feel a little distressed to watch.

Pei Lingsu read the classics of Purple Mountain at a very fast speed, and after that, she stepped into the "Wind and Snow Plain" retreat and never came out again.

Of course, Chu Xuan knew who she was doing so hard to retreat for.

In the past three years, countless rumors and doubts have flowed in this world, but they are all unconfirmed falsehoods, Pei Yatou has no ears to what is going on outside the window, and she has tried her best to practice the "art of life and death".

She had prepared for the worst.

If Ning Yi was still alive, then he would definitely come back here to see him.

If...... Then she won't be like thirteen years ago, watching her relatives in the General's Mansion die, she can't do anything.

She will cultivate the most difficult forbidden art in the world.

She will definitely bring Ning Yi back.

It's a somewhat ridiculously immature idea.

It's ridiculous and pathetic.

But Chu Xuan has not spoken to disturb her, for three years, she has watched her disciples learn from their own teachers, riding on this avenue at a very fast speed, and sometimes she has to sigh that cultivation is really talented.

Pei Min's daughter is really as amazing and brilliant as he was back then.

The "good news" a few days ago made Pei Lingsu come out of the state of mind of retreat for the first time, the "Pei girl" who was wearing a purple robe and her appearance was no longer immature, was already like the "female sword fairy" that Ning Yi saw when he handed over the sword talisman in the Hongshan Dormitory.

Pei Min's "Sword Collection" has been completely digested by her in the past three years.

The wildfire was brought back from the sky and was devastated, but after three years of recuperation, it has now healed.

On Pei Lingsu's left hand, there was a smooth and round long sword inserted in the grassland, the body of the sword was as unstained as glass, and it trembled and swayed gently with the wind.

Ye Changfeng's predecessor's child.

It is also a "relic" brought back from Tiandu.

This "child", she was going to wait for the time to meet Ning Yi and then hand it over to the other party, but time passed in a flash, and when she heard the news that "Ning Yi is still alive", she was in a trance, and she didn't know how long it was, in the days of retreat in the snowstorm, the girl had long forgotten the concept of time.

Her first thought was to leave Purple Mountain and go to find "Ning Yi".

Shushan's letter made her put down her anxious heart and wait for news from the entire Great Sui...... So during this time, she calmed down again, and sure enough.

No one found "Ning Yi".

Darkly, she seemed to be able to feel ...... Ning Yi did come to life, in his heart, far away, he had indescribable thoughts, just like in the past, even if he was separated, one person was in the Mansion of the Marquis of Jianxing, and the other was in the Hongshan Plateau, he could still have something in his heart.

No one in this world knows Ning Yi better than her.

Pei Fu returned to retreat, but this time, she no longer studied the "forbidden art of life and death".

Ning Yi did not die.

The worst plan, that distant cultivation realm, can naturally be picked up and gently put down.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

But also a sigh of relief.

A series of thoughts crossed her mind, eventually leading to a distant and ethereal "possibility".

She sat down in front of the stone tablet and began to study the formation of the "Wind and Snow Field".

In the Wind and Snow Plain, there is an incredible "balance" between vitality and death.

After the bloody night of the year, the proud disciple of Purple Mountain, according to the generation, was the "Nie Hongyan" of Senior Sister Pei Yatou, and was buried here, and the life and death in the wind and snow plains were maintained in a frozen time, and Nie Hongyan remained in the silence of life and death, but if she couldn't reverse her vitality, she would never be able to wake up.

Pei Yatou comprehended the stone tablet.

The hanging talismans, the tadpole-like ancient characters, and the wisdom of the Purple Mountain Lord of the past dynasties are all in the void inscriptions.

When she was in the back mountain of Shu Mountain, she broke through the small son-mother array left by "Lu Sheng".

In terms of formations and talismans, the girl has excellent qualifications.

This is a fine piece of jade.

After more than ten days of retreat, she silently figured out the context and structure of this large array, and found a rather amazing "singularity".

Chu Xuan sat on the treetops, swaying his feet, and watched Pei Lingsu slowly open his eyes.

Pei Yatou, who was sitting in front of the stone stele, seemed to think of a certain character that Ning Yi had mentioned to herself after returning from tomb robbery in Qingshan Mansion.

She pursed her lips and said hoarsely, "Master, someone has been here. ”

The Great Bodhisattva spoke.

These days of retreat, I don't get too bored.

Accompanying Pei Lingsu to retreat and practice, the red-clothed girl who sat in the treetops most of the time came back to her senses, supported her chin with one hand, and said with a smile: "Of course." You watched the guy walk in and be carried out. ”

She immediately thought that her little apprentice would ask about the Purple Mountain Life and Death Forbidden Technique.

Didn't think of it.

Pei Lingsu shook his head and said seriously:

"It's not Xu Zang. ”

Not Xu Zang?

Chu Xuan was stunned, she suddenly came back to her senses, and her eyes became a little strange when she looked at the girl...... It is true that someone has been to the snowfield, and she doesn't seem to have told outsiders about it.

She pressed her hands on the branches of the treetops, jumped slightly, fell from the top of the tree several feet high, fluttered her big sleeves, and landed in the air with a "bang" to open the red oil-paper umbrella, and shook it gently, like a light white paper, just like that.

The voice also fluttered to the girl's ears.

"It's true that a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky has come to Purple Mountain, and I made an exception to let him enter the snowstorm...... That person is a third-rate person who can't tell the origin, but he is not a bad person, and his only obsession is to try to see if he can save the senior sister under the stone tablet in front of you. ”

Chu Xuan fell to the ground, she held the big red umbrella and walked forward slowly, the frost and snow of the wind and snow field swayed, falling on the umbrella surface, covered with a layer of white.

She walked to the stele, squatted down, rubbed the inscription with her fingers, and said with a complicated look in her eyes:

"That man is a miserable man, and now that I think about it, I have relented for a while. ”

Pei Yatou looked at the stone stele, Chu Xuan's fingers fell gently, the inscription flowed, converged, intermittently like a stream and river, opened and closed, and finally the stone stele lines were all lit up, like a portal formed by wind and snow in the dark night.

Pei Lingsu's voice trembled very lightly and asked, "Is this ...... The door to the world?"

Just like she thought.

The man called "Wu Daozi" in Ning Yi's mouth has no strengths and has a low cultivation realm, but he can survive under the encirclement and suppression of many holy mountains, and with a bad reputation, he looted and wandered in the ancient tombs of the Great Sui.

is to find a way to resurrect "Nie Hongyan".

There is no way in the Great Sui world.

There is another world.

But how could such a man cross the Great Wall in the north? How could he cross the territory of 40,000 miles and reach the end of the upside-down sea?

So he came to Purple Mountain.

And Chu Xuan helped him.

The girl in red with pigtails nodded, she didn't deny Pei Lingsu's conjecture, but said indifferently: "I know what you're thinking, but unfortunately, you can't step on this door." ”

The girl looked at her master.

"There is a huge prohibition in the Inverted Hanging Sea, which no one can break through, and this prohibition restricts the great cultivators above the Ten Realms and below Nirvana. Chu Xuan said lazily: "The singularity of the Wind and Snow Plains can indeed lead to the world of the demon clan, this is the handwriting of the ancestor of the Purple Mountain, it should be regarded as a small 'surprise', right? ”

Pei Lingsu's expression was a little pale, and she silently clenched her fists.

She had already broken through the threshold of the tenth realm.

In the realm of the life star, you can't step on that portal.

She tried to stretch out a hand, although the boxy Starfire Formation was activated, it did not accept her, she touched the frost and snow on the stone tablet, and the side of the portal was not the demon clan world thousands of miles away.

She took a deep breath.

"It seems that the man who left the Blizzard in the first place is quite unreliable...... Either he had a skill, and he couldn't use it in the demon clan, so he died in the north. Chu Xuan had no emotion, and said lightly: "Either this man who patted his chest and swore by it, when he got there, he became a negative person, if I guessed correctly, he was in a hurry to get rid of the countless pursuits on the side of the Great Sui and went to that world, but it would be better." ”

Regarding the remarks of "Wu Daozi", Pei Lingsu did not express any opinions.

She lowered her eyebrows silently.

"It's a two-way crossing, and I also gave him a jade pendant, but over the years, he hasn't passed a word. Chu Xuan looked at the stone tablet with a little regret.

She could actually guess that with that man's character, if she couldn't find the "Resurrection Technique", she would definitely not come back again, and she would not be embarrassed to see herself again.

But over the years, Wu Daozi has not even passed on a word......

Maybe that jade pendant was broken in the demon clan's world?

Maybe it's really dead?

The spark burned, and there was a brief silence.

All of a sudden.

Pei Lingsu frowned.

Pei Yatou sat in front of the stone tablet and vaguely noticed some abnormalities, so she was a little puzzled, a little questioned, and slowly stretched out a hand, and her sleeve robe was rolled up by the wind.

Snow-white fingers, touching the frost and snow in the spark.

Her fingertips made a hoarse touch sound.

A piece of broken white paper, which she gently pulled out, was a token that had just been handed over from the world in the north.

The handwriting was crooked, and it was stained with blood.

A line of small print, written in a hurry.

"I found Ning Yi. ”
