Chapter 46: Sitting among the Clouds (1)
The Shu Road in the Western Regions is known as the Heavenly Trench by the locals, and it is the most difficult mountain plank road on the entire Dongzhou continent.
There are many mountains here, the mountains are steep, and the plank road is old and damaged, and there are countless people who accidentally fall and die while driving.
Despite this, there are still countless cultivators who come here to conquer this plank path.
Not for anything else, just for the White Emperor City at the end of this plank road, standing on the highest peak of the mountains.
White Emperor City is not just the name of the mountain city, but also one of the top sects among the forces in the entire Western Regions.
The White Emperor City has stood here for more than a thousand years, and on this isolated lonely peak, it can be regarded as a school of its own.
They have their own heritage, their own clan culture.
Even the most powerful sect in Dongzhou did not dare to challenge the majesty of White Emperor City easily, not because of anything else, but because the guardian of White Emperor City was named Taibai.
It is rumored that Taibai traveled here and successfully conquered the winding and steep Shu Road. Don't take the white crane, don't step on the clouds, just walk on the White Emperor City.
Feeling offended by his dignity, the Lord of White Emperor City asked Taibai for a duel.
Then, as everyone expected, the city lord of White Emperor City was slashed down by Taibai with a sword, and he used a new move created by Taibai on his own impromptu.
Legend has it that Taibai did not use his true qi, and when he reached the peak, it was already early in the morning of the next day. Taibai raised his eyes on the top of the mountain, the clouds covered the mist, the colorful glow chased the moon, even the peaks went to the sky, the lone pine hung upside down, and the thousands of miles of rivers under the mountain seemed to be close at hand.
Taibai couldn't help but be poetic, and used his sword to mention the words, and fell a famous sentence in front of the gate of the White Emperor City.
By the way, he also realized the most poetic and picturesque move among the eighteen swords of Taibai, and it is also a move that is different from all other moves, Caiyunzhou.
The sword qi as bright as the clouds turned into a floating boat shuttling in the sky, it didn't look fast, the power was not fierce, and the angle was not tricky, but it was so ordinary, it seemed to be a move in vain, but it became the most difficult move to crack among all the eighteen swords.
Because of Taibai's spare hand, the city lord of White Emperor City was pierced by Caiyunzhou's sword qi but did not suffer any actual damage. The city lord knew that Taibai had left a thin face for himself, and he also knew that if Taibai's strength wanted to go wild, his entire White Emperor City would not be enough for him to be an enemy.
So the city lord of the White Emperor City also wanted to open it, and did his best to entertain Taibai for three days and three nights. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountain peaks while tasting the best wines from the collection.
Taibai was very comfortable and satisfied, not only taught the mysteries of Caiyunzhou to the disciples of the White Emperor City, but also left a sword array composed of thirty-five long-lasting immortal sword qi by the city gate for the city lord of the White Emperor City when he left, guarding the entire White Emperor City for generations.
Caiyun Zhou became the only move left outside the Taibai Palace among the eighteen swords of Taibai, and together with the thirty-five sword qi, it became the greatest reliance on the longevity of the White Emperor City for hundreds of years.
At this time, on the top of the colorful clouds of the White Emperor City, there was a delicate-looking and good-looking girl sitting on a boulder, closing her eyes and concentrating.
The girl was dressed in plain clothes, with a slender figure and long black hair tied up behind her head. The willow eyebrows and half-moon eyes, and the drooping eyelashes are knocking on the horizon. It seems to be angular, and the combination of cold facial features unexpectedly has an indescribable affinity.
The girl seemed to be practicing at this time, and she could feel it, although the fluctuation of her true qi was weak, it was extremely stable, so that the floating clouds around her were unconsciously sucked by it.
Floating in the world, where to stir up dust. Twilight is coming, and quietly it is another day, and the girl sits all day. He was stunned and never moved.
The girl is none other than Ning Ning, who left the Butterfly Valley and embarked on her own path of cultivation.
And the Lingxi who took Ning Ning away at that time was also sitting on the balcony on the top of the mountain not far away with another woman in colorful clothes and a graceful appearance, just drinking tea, chatting, and looking at Ning Ning who was sitting and practicing from time to time.
"How long will you stay this time?" the woman asked, her voice echoing like a clear spring.
"It won't be long. Lingxi replied, his gaze sweeping in Ning Ning's direction.
The woman stared at Lingxi, her eyes a little complicated.
The woman knew that Lingxi didn't like to come to White Emperor City very much before, and always said that White Emperor City was too boring here, and the people in the city were also indifferent, so she was a little out of place here. In the past, I repeatedly urged to see her, but I may not get a reply. But since handing over this girl to herself, she has come more and more often two years ago.
"What happened to the plan you talked about earlier?" Seeing that Lingxi didn't take the initiative to speak, the woman tried to stir up a new topic.
"I'm preparing, and I'm about to have some eyebrows. Lingxi replied lightly. "Don't talk about me, how is this kid doing?"
"Ning Ning, it's not bad. Lingxi is now inseparable from Ning Ning in three sentences with her topic, which even makes the woman feel a little jealous in her heart. "Originally, it wasn't sure if the White Emperor City Yuxiu Mental Method was effective for her physique, but now it seems that the situation is indeed improving. ”
"Chills?"
"As long as you practice, you won't have a seizure. It seems that the soft heaven and earth qi on the top of the colorful clouds has a soothing effect, and with Yuxiu's mental method, it can suppress the cold qi in her body. ”
"Just suppression, still can't be fundamentally improved. Lingxi sighed.
"Lingxi, you also know that the true destination of this physique is not in the White Emperor City, and it is already very good to be able to suppress the cold qi. ”
"You're right, this physique doesn't end up here, but I can't send this child to the devilish land that devours humanity, so only you can help me. ”
This sentence obviously made the woman very happy, and her tone became more high-spirited, "You have spoken, I must do my best to help you." Although it is not the most suitable exercise for this child, her martial arts understanding is really good, and there is no problem in walking the rivers and lakes in the future to protect herself. ”
"Walking the rivers and lakes?" Lingxi suddenly stared at the woman, with a hint of defensiveness in his eyes.
"Yes, you brought this child all the way over, it can't be so that she can sit on the top of this mountain for the rest of her life like me, right?" said the woman disapprovingly.
"Honestly, it's not like I haven't thought about it. Contrary to the woman's expectations, Lingxi shook her head, "I thought of this child at first sight, so sometimes I also think that maybe a boring life on top of this colorful cloud may be a happy life for a woman like her." ”
"So you're regretting, regretting not bringing her here?"
"I don't regret it, it was her life and her choice. Lingxi stood up and stared at the morning glow in the distance.
