The maid took Qingling into a courtyard, and when she entered the room, she really saw the specifications of this "guest room". I saw that the walls of the hall were hung with all kinds of landscape paintings, all of which were made by famous artists, lifelike, and it was like being in a paradise. The interior decoration is also perfect, the tables, chairs and utensils are all made of the finest mahogany, and there is an elegant and noble atmosphere everywhere.

Qing Ling couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "This king of Penglai Kingdom is really generous, I have never seen such a comfortable room in my life. spares no expense in order to attract talents, and it is indeed considered a corporal of Lixian.

Just as Qing Ling was expressing her admiration for King Penglai in her heart, the maid suddenly asked, "Is the woman still satisfied with this room?"

Qing Ling hurriedly replied: "Of course satisfied, if you don't know how to be satisfied if you live in such a house, you will really be insatiable." ”

"Does the woman need me to stay and serve you?"

"No need, I can take care of everything myself, you go and rest. ”

"Every hour and at the end of the day, there will be people to deliver food to the woman, and there are all kinds of clothes in the wooden box in the room, if the woman likes it, please feel free to use it. The slave and maid took the lead in retiring. ”

After thanking the maid, Qing Ling watched her leave, and remembered what the king had said to her.

"Shangwutang is also one of the six major sects in the world, but I didn't expect the disciples to be so poor. However, I can find out the exact location of Lianhua Temple from them. But if you go now, you will definitely talk about the Cult of Souls, which will cause a series of unnecessary troubles. As for the spells of the Soul Worship Sect, I just want to see them with my own eyes, and listening to other people's explanations will only add to my troubles and will not help. Therefore, it is better to wait until after helping Penglai Kingdom repel the people of the Chongling Sect before visiting. ”

Qingling was used to living alone and didn't like to communicate with people, so she decided to stay here first and wait for the Chongling Sect to attack.

Unexpectedly, since the disciples of the Chongling Sect occupied the southern part of Penglai Kingdom, they suddenly quieted down as if they had no intention of invading the north, and there was no movement, as if they had disappeared from the island. The king sent spies to the south several times to investigate the enemy, and the reports all said that the disciples of the Chongling Sect were building a large number of buildings, as if they were trying to establish a stronghold, and there seemed to be no sign of attacking the north for the time being.

Time flies, time flies.

This kind of stagnant calm lasted on the island for almost a year, and a year's wait was undoubtedly extremely long for Qingling. Throughout the year, Qingling always had a feeling of restlessness.

When the third month passed, Qing Ling had the idea of leaving for the first time. When she came out of Sanqing Mountain, the most important thing was to report the news of the comeback of the Demon Domain to Lianhua Temple, and now that it had been delayed for three months, Qingling knew that she couldn't wait any longer. But after thinking about it, since she promised the king, she couldn't easily break the contract, and if she left without permission, it would definitely damage the reputation of the master, but she didn't want to go to the king to explain it clearly, and she suddenly felt very embarrassed.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed in a hurry. Qingling was finally unwilling to wait any longer, so he made up his mind to go and meet the king.

She expressed her intention to the king, but the king very earnestly begged her to wait a little longer, and the king said that the enemy might be in the stage of recuperation at this moment, and should attack soon, and if they did not attack within half a year, Qingling could leave at will.

Qingling was moved by his words and decided to stay for a while.

Autumn goes to winter, and before you know it, Qingling has been on the island for nearly a year, but the Chongling Sect is still there

There is no sign of an attack on the north.

On this day, the king personally summoned Qingling to express his heartfelt apologies to her.

"Heroine, this king sincerely apologizes to you. The reason why I kept you for so long is because this king misjudged the battle situation and wasted your precious time. The heroine must have other important things to deal with, you can leave at any time, these days are really difficult for you. ”

King Penglai raised his voice at this time: "Bring the parting gift prepared for the woman." ”

After the words fell, a eunuch walked in from outside, holding a huge box in both hands, he placed the box in front of Qing Ling and opened it.

Qing Ling looked at it and found that there were a lot of silver taels and some fine silk inside.

"Here is a hundred taels of silver, six pieces of silk, just a meager gift, talk about respect, I hope the woman must accept it. King Penglai smiled.

Qing Ling hurriedly refused: "If you don't have merit, you won't be punished, since you can't help you repel a strong enemy, then you can't accept any gifts." ”

The voice fell, and suddenly someone outside was heard yelling.

"Report ----"

A figure rushed into the main hall at a rapid speed, knelt in front of the king and said, "Your king, our patrol has spotted a ten-man squad sent by the enemy and is heading towards the demarcation line, asking for support. ”

After listening to this person's report, Qing Ling knew that he would not be able to leave this time, so he took the initiative to ask the king for his order: "I am willing to be the vanguard and go to meet the enemy." ”

Seeing that Qingling was willing to help, King Penglai was overjoyed, but then frowned again, and said in a deep voice: "The woman is so righteous, this king is very pleased, but the royal city and the north-south dividing line are separated by more than thousands of miles, if you send the royal city guards, I am afraid that it will be too late to arrive, and the villages and towns near the demarcation line may be occupied, and the people will definitely fall into dire straits." ”

After the king of Penglai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he asked Qingling, "May I ask the woman, how long can you reach the distance of nine hundred miles, with your ability to control the sky?"

Qing Ling replied confidently: "It shouldn't be more than an hour." ”

When the king heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, and said: "In this case, this king has ordered you to be the vanguard general, and take this king's soldier talisman to Linshui City near the demarcation line to transfer 1,000 cavalry, go to rescue the people, and at the same time repel the enemy army." ”

Before Qingling could reply, the king raised his voice and said, "Get the map of Penglai." When the eunuch presented the map, the king himself drew pen and ink and drew a shortcut to the city on the map.

The king took out the talisman from his body, handed it to Qing Ling along with the map he had marked, and said, "The woman will follow the path drawn by this king." Seeing this talisman, if the king is here, if there is anyone who does not obey the command of the heroine, you can dispose of it at will, without asking the king. ”

Qingling Zhengse responded: "If you receive the order under you, you will definitely live up to the king's trust in your subordinates." ”

With that, he bid farewell to the king, and took the talisman and followed the route drawn on the map to the waterfront city.

On the northern coast of Penglai Island, at this moment, following Qingling nearly a year ago, three more figures are gradually approaching.

These three people are two men and one woman, the man on the left is wearing a flowing purple robe, and his face is so handsome that he can almost compare a woman to a general. The man in the center was dressed in a cyan robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance looked quite young. On the right is a girl in a long black dress, her face is not as beautiful as a person in the world, and a pair of rainbow-colored beautiful eyes are the heavens and men

Be amazed.

They were Ye Yichen, Xuantian and Li Mengluan, who had set off from Moon Shadow Island and came to Penglai Island.

Xuantian saw from a distance that there were heavy guards guarding the coast at this time, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked Ye Yichen on the side: "What happened on Penglai Island? Why is there even a heavy guard on the coast?"

Li Mengluan quipped at this moment: "Maybe this is the place where those 'tourists stop', Brother Tian, it seems that you and I are going to sleep on the sea." ”

Ye Yichen was not amused by Li Mengluan, but frowned, and said, "I haven't been back for several years, but there were no guards on the shore before, so it seems that something big must have happened on the island." Let's go down and ask, and we should know. ”

Xuantian and Li Mengluan's faces also became serious when they heard this, and the two of them bowed their heads at the same time and followed Ye Yichen ashore.

As soon as they landed, the three of them enjoyed exactly the same treatment as Qingling, and were instantly surrounded by the guards. Ye Yichen explained his identity as a disciple of Shangwutang to the guards, and said that Xuantian and Li Mengluan were his recent best friends.

When the guards heard this, they immediately asked, "All three of you can do martial arts?" The three of them all nodded in response, and Ye Yichen asked, "What happened on the island? Why do you want to ask us if we have martial arts?" The guards then told them again about the situation of Penglai Island's invasion by the Chongling Sect.

Ye Yichen's expression immediately became cloudy when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Xuan, Mengluan, you follow me to Shangwu Hall, it seems that we came back at the right time this time." ”

North of the Apocalypse King City, Shangwu Hall.

There were four people sitting in the council hall of this fashionable martial arts hall, and above the main seat was a man over half a hundred years old with a Chinese character face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon. This person is the head of the current Shangwutang---- Qi Yunteng.

The three below are Xuantian, Li Mengluan and Ye Yichen, who have just arrived at Shangwutang.

Ye Yichen was introducing Qi Yunteng at this time: "This young hero is Xuantian from Sanqingmen, don't look at his young age, his cultivation attainments are no longer below me, and the art of one-handed talismans is even more superb." ”

Qi Yunteng smiled and said: "The Sanqing Sect can be called the head of the six major sects, and the disciples are all talented and talented, although this Xuantian young man is young, but his cultivation is exquisite, he must be the best even in the Sanqing Sect." ”

Xuantian immediately stood up, waved his hand and said with a smile: "In the lower cultivation, it is shallow, and it is far from the night brother, the two of you said this, it really tormented me." There are many people who are above me in the cultivation of the Sanqing Gate. ”

Qi Yunteng and Ye Yichen looked at each other and smiled, and then Ye Yichen continued to introduce: "This peerless beauty is a friend I met on the way, and her identity cannot be revealed for the time being. However, the sword skills she cultivated, presumably the head must be very interested. ”

Qi Yunteng was puzzled: "Sword skills, could it be some kind of long-lost mastery?"

Ye Yichen clapped his palms and said with a smile: "I was guessed by the master, it is a long-lost sword skill, and the unique skill of the founder of my faction, Patriarch Qi Qiong, is also." ”

"What? She would actually make 'the secret flow of unphased interpretation'?" Qi Yunteng was so excited when he heard this.

Li Mengluan stood up at this time and said respectfully: "The little woman Li Mengluan has seen the master. Brother Ye is right, my mentor is Qi Qiong, and his old man passed on this set of 'Secret Flow of Phaseless Interpretation' to me. When I came to Shangwutang this time, I wanted to leave this set of swordsmanship and 'return the thing to its original owner'. ”
