Chapter 24, The Sect on the Peak

The peaks are stacked, and the forest sea is continuous.

Eighty miles of ancient roads are winding, and a hundred palaces are crisscrossed. It is said that there is a majestic mountain in the northwest of the mainland, called Xiaoxian Dengfeng, the road up the mountain is about 80 miles long, and there are countless palaces hidden in the mountain.

Thirty thousand disciples chanted to the sky, and eternity looked up to the fiery demons. It is said that there is a sect in Xiaoxian Peak, called the Demon Flame Sect, and all the 30,000 sect members believe in Agni Fire and want to compete with the Heavenly Princess.

Xiaoxian ascends to the peak, there is a sea of fog this night, the stars are hidden, there is no wind and no sound, and the white expanse is boundless, just like the sky outside the sky, outside the border.

Here, in a building on the top of the peak, there is a woman, slender and graceful, and exquisite. Wearing a light gauze skirt, buckskin boots, coiling cloud sideburns, wearing a jade hairpin, his face was slightly condensed, and his cherry lips moved. She wanted to speak and stopped looking entangled, and finally had to exhale a breath gently. She touched the ground on the tip of her left foot, bent her calf, and crouched in front of the window, her chin propped up, looking out at the hazy landscape.

Beside her, there stood a girl with a bright face, a young age, and a girlish fragrance all over her body, and at this time, she was holding a blue-glazed tray with a small plate of white pastries on it.

Behind the maiden was a leather chair, in which a wide-faced man with a serious face sat lazily, leaning on his body, half lying and half reclining. He stared at a pair of tiger eyes, stared into the background of the curvaceous woman, and remained silent.

In the room, the atmosphere was silent, and with that, the man coughed, and the still space was broken in an instant. He said, "Luo Luo, the eldest brother is going down the mountain." After saying that, he lifted his right leg, put it on his left leg, sat up straight, and asked, "If you have anything you like, just tell me, and my brother will definitely have it all for you." ”

"Is it, Daddy let you down the mountain so soon?" the woman smiled back and pouted, "but I don't need anything!"

"You've got to need something, you're a girl, after all!" the man liked to keep a cold look, which was more in line with his majestic position. But in his sister's sunny smile, his majesty was gone. He said kindly, "You know, you are my favorite sister, even if you want a blinking star in the sky, my brother will find a way to pick it for you." ”

Then, Luo Luo's eyes seemed to really appear starry sky, she blinked, and said radiantly, "I don't want stars, people are in pairs in the sky, and they are extremely happy, why take them off." ”

"I'm just figurative. The man said.

"So!" Luo Luo walked over to him, and he grinned, "If Big Brother wants to send me something, why don't you?"

"Definitely not, absolutely not. The man then shook his head, and he said, "Dad said that you are not allowed to go down the mountain, and the rivers and lakes are chaotic." ”

"With my brother by my side, I'm not afraid!" Luo Luo performed the coquettish Dafa, hooked her arms around the man's neck, and half hung on his body, she showed a miserable expression, "Stay at Xiaoxian Dengfeng and suffocate to death, brother, you won't refuse me, right?"

The man's face turned red, and he snorted, "Of course I will refuse you, because I am afraid." ”

At this time, the girl with the snack covered her mouth and smiled.

"Little Yanque, it's not like that!" the man snorted, "what are you laughing at? ”

Xiao Yanque stuck out her tongue and put the snack on the tea table.

"Didn't you say you love me the most?" said Lolo.

"Oops, I'm going to be strangled by you. The man sighed helplessly, he gently broke Luo Luo's hand, put his arm on her shoulder, looked directly at her and said, "I went down the mountain this time, and I didn't go to play." When such a big thing happened to Baiqi, his father was furious and angry, and he had already used all his strength to chase Song Baijia back at any cost. This time down the mountain, it is inevitable that there will be several major battles. ”

Luo Luo rubbed the man's shoulder and said, "It is precisely because of this that I have to go down the mountain with my brother, so that I can help my brother work hard, come up with plans, and make plans." ”

"No!" the man twisted his neck comfortably, "a little to the left, not that, yes, here it is, a little lighter, a little lighter, oops!".

"Not yet?" said Lolo, his hand strengthened.

"Big Prince!" Xiao Yanque whispered on the side, "You are from Miss, she is really stuffy in the mountains." ”

"I said no, I just can't, I can't take you down the mountain!" the man waved his hand, glared at the girl, and said, "Little Yanque, you don't make a mess on the side." ”

"Qiu Dacauld!" Luo Luo puffed half of her face, she said angrily: "You are not righteous, you don't love me, you lie to others." ”

"Those miscellaneous hairs in the martial arts are all sanctimonious and scheming. This time, a lot of masters have been dispatched, and the current situation is like a mess, it is not clear, it is too dangerous for you to go. The man stood up, and then, he protested dissatisfiedly, "My name is Qiu Ding, not Qiu Dacauldron." ”

"Ding is the pot!" Luo Luo leaned up on his white neck and continued, "If you don't take me there, I'll just call it that, Qiu Cauldron, Qiu Cauldron, Qiu Cauldron, how about it?"

What is the state of being so angry that he is crazy, maybe it is Qiu Ding's expression now, he said, "Qiu Luoluo, I'm really afraid of you, you go to find our father, he nodded, can I still take you down the mountain?"

"Qiu cauldron!"

"Huh?"

Qiu Luoluo shook a strand of his long hair that hung down, twisted his wrist, and hummed, "I'll go to find my father." Xiao Yanque, don't pay attention to this heartless one, let's go!"

"I can't ask for it!" Qiu Ding said with a smile, "Don't touch your nose, blame me for not reminding you when the time comes." ”

"That's also my own business! I don't believe it, with long legs on my body, just a little fairy climbing to the peak, can you still trap me Qiu Luoluo?" she finished speaking, pulled Xiao Yanque and turned around and left.

"This little girl's fiery temper is really similar to our mother. Qiu Ding muttered, and then disappeared Qiu Luoluo. So, he hurriedly got up to chase after him, and he shouted as he ran, "My good sister, my dear sister, my beautiful sister, you can go slowly." Our father has been worrying about the white flag for the past few days, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner, you can do it! Don't make any more angry things for him. Hey, you wait, wait, Xiao Yanque, you hold her!"

Miss Qiu Luoluo's temper surged up, and she didn't listen to what Qiu Ding said at all.

Out of the door, there was a small courtyard surrounded by high walls.

The yard is not large, and it is planted with patches of dew flowers, green stamens, and pink petals, which are extremely gorgeous.

It is said that it is cold and dewy, and the requirements for the growth environment are extremely strict, so it is named Dew Hanhua.

Its nectar can be used as medicine to cure the disease of heart qi stagnation; its stamens hide a strange fragrance, after quenching, it can be contaminated in the body for several months; it belongs to the peculiar of Xiaoxian Dengfeng, the only place in the world, after three years of germination, four years of growth, three years of blooming, and death only takes one night, ten years of reincarnation.

Here, the aroma is undercurrent, which makes people feel refreshed. The mist wet the flower branches, and the plump droplets of water floated on the leaves and flowers, like the sad tears of the fairies in the sky.

Qiu Luoluo's skirt brushed the flower branches, stained with wet, and Xiao Yanque followed one step at a time.

"Miss, this way, this way. Xiao Yanque pointed to the steps on the side, and she said, "The monarch may be discussing with everyone in the Ethereal Palace, not in the room!"

So, Qiu Luoluo looked at the mist above her head, couldn't help frowning, sighed softly, and asked, "Xiao Yanque, do you want to go down the mountain?"

"Yes!"

"Follow me!"

The Ethereal Hall is a pavilion on the highest peak of Xiaoxian's ascension, which is divided into four floors and is the most sacred place of the Demon Flame Sect, and is usually used for major meetings, memorial ceremonies, etc. Standing on the top floor, you can get a panoramic view of the entire Xiaoxian Summit. In normal times, there is a special person to supervise, the access is strict, and no one is allowed to enter.

Qiu Luoluo jumped up the first step and looked up, the winding steps looked like a giant centipede cut off by clouds. She couldn't help but be deflated at the thought that there were nine hundred and ninety-eight levels ahead.

In the blink of an eye, I heard Qiu Ding catching up from behind. She gritted her teeth and ran away with Xiao Yanque.

Here, in the conference hall on the first floor of the Ethereal Hall, the sect heroes gathered, the scene was silent, and the sound of the lights seemed to be someone beating a muffled drum.

On the rosewood chair in front of the hall, there was a man in a black leather armor with a serious face, holding the ends of the chair without saying a word.

Below him stood a multitude of men dressed in different clothes.

"Sovereign, Song Baijia has appeared, and the people we arranged in the rivers and lakes are gathering there. ”

"Besides, the debris is still missing!"

"I heard that there are many masters around him. If we fight hard, we will suffer a lot of losses. ”

In the middle of the crowd, three people stood up, talking about the progress of the situation.

After hearing this, the man half-closed his eyes, his body shook, and his two hands slapped the edge of the chair rhythmically, still not saying a word.

"So. At this time, a man in a blue coat stood up, and he asked rhetorically, "After you inquired, what are the movements of those sects now?"

"Go back to the Shura King!" A man in a short red robe stepped forward and hugged his hand respectfully, he said: "As we expected, Song Baijia is extremely cunning and well versed in the style of Demon Yan's work, in order to get rid of us, he deliberately hid his whereabouts, and people from other sects were like headless flies, and they couldn't find him. ”

"According to the reward order issued by the monarch, some people are estimated to be impatient at this time. Then someone said.

"However, if you can't find any fragments, you should do it in a hurry, won't you startle the snake?" said another.

"Yes, our target is fragments, Song Baijia is a worm, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will be caught by us. "Finally someone said.

"When delaying, it is to find the fragments, and not to let them fall into the hands of other sects. King Shura touched his chin and pondered it, then he looked at the man on the chair and said respectfully: "Sovereign, since we have found traces of Song Baijia and avoid long nights and dreams, we should go all out to encircle and suppress them." The gang of people on the rivers and lakes, with three religions and nine streams, have uneven strength, and they still can't be trusted after all. Therefore, this time, the eldest prince personally went down the mountain, and for the sake of insurance, I am willing to go with him and help him. ”

"The main thing is to find the pieces and try to capture the person alive. Hearing this, the person in the chair finally spoke. His voice was unusually loud. For a moment, the hall seemed to be filled with the breaking waves of the sea. Everyone felt the wind blowing in their faces. Then he said, "Shura, don't go." Stay and take care of the academic affairs. I'm going to go into retreat in the next few days!"

Shura nodded. Immediately, his face lit up, and he said happily, "You are in such a hurry to retreat. Could it be that your exercises are about to become Mahayana?"

"How can you come to Mahayana, it's just to break through the bottleneck!" the man walked down, facing everyone, respectfully teaching, "The Central Plains martial arts, there are countless unique learnings, you must know, there is no end to learning, and you must not relax." Especially the "Against the Sky" that I learned, it is such an endless exercise, and martial arts is far from ending, understand?"

The people below agreed in unison, "Yes!"

When the words fell, King Shura smiled, "Sovereign, your martial arts attainments are unrivaled in the whole world, but you still have this tireless curiosity, which is really amazing." I admire it very much, but," the Shura King pondered for a moment, and then continued; However, this time Song Baijia defected with the fragments of Yanhuang, and the matter was very serious. Relying on the eldest prince alone, I am afraid that it is inappropriate, and I suggest that another person be sent to assist. ”

"What do you suggest?"

Shura took a long breath and said lightly: "White Flag has such a serious incident this time, which has caused chaos among the various departments in the sect, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated and rectified. The other black, yellow, red, and green flags perform their own duties, and their tasks are heavy and they can't get out. Well, the only people who can call it are April. ”

"Then choose one from April to accompany Qiu Ding down the mountain. The man agreed.

"I think the Stygian Moon does. King Shura said.

"That's her. ”

At this moment, the two gates of the Ethereal Hall seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and they opened with a bang.

hiss

Everyone couldn't help but gasp and watch in horror.

King Shura said in his heart: "Who dares to be so presumptuous, trespassing on the holy land without passing on the word, this is treating the Ethereal Hall as his own home?"

There are really people who dare to be so presumptuous!

Qiu Luoluo's little face was flushed with exhaustion, panting and holding on to the door frame, one foot was just about to step in. Xiao Yanque lowered his head and followed. She shouted as she went, "Dad, where is my father? ”

Qiu Ding's face sank slightly, and he waved his hand to Shura helplessly, and he sighed: "This little plague god is here." Let's disperse first. Shura nodded, turned around and left, and then listened to Qiu Ding say, "Do it as agreed, let Shenyue accompany Qiu Ding, she does things vigorously and resolutely, just to make up for Qiu Ding's hesitant character." ”

"Yes!" King Shura replied, then turned his head and shouted to everyone, "Dismiss the meeting, get here today, and when you go back, you will continue to reflect on each other, strictly investigate unknown people, and prevent the recurrence of the White Flag incident." With that, he followed the crowd towards the outside of the main hall.

Qiu Luoluo went straight through the crowd, and everyone had to give way, lest they couldn't dodge, only the Shura King walked towards her!

"Uncle Shura, where are you going?" Qiu Luoluo stopped King Shura.

Then, she reached out and touched King Shura's funny ear.

The pointed ears of the Shura King are famous in the rivers and lakes. Brought from the mother's womb, it is naturally different from ordinary people, slender and pointed, like two feathers inserted in the cheeks, similar to the pointed ears of the elves in the forest in the legend, which is very distinctive.

"Go back to sleep, Luo Luo, aren't you sleepy?" King Shura deliberately kept a distance from her.

"I have something to say to my father. Luo Luo stared at his pointed ears with a hippie smile, and said, "Uncle Shura, don't hide, your ears are so funny, touch them for me." ”

King Shura wanted to cry without tears, but flashed to the side, and he said in frustration: "Luo Luo, don't be naughty, your father is on it." ”

"I saw it. ”

"Why don't you go soon?" Shura pouted and said, "Don't break in like this next time." The Ethereal Hall is also a sect holy place, giving us a little face. ”

"Then you touch my ear, it seems to be sharper again. ”

"Please give me a little face. King Shura said solemnly, he raised a hand in order to block Qiu Luoluo's attack at any time.

"Just touch it, really!" Qiu Luoluo blinked.

"Really?"

"Uncle Shura, don't we even have this little trust between us?" Qiu Luoluo happily stretched out his hand, but unexpectedly pounced.

His body turned into an afterimage, flashing in front of her, and he didn't have time to react, it was so fast!

"Next time, haha!" King Shura laughed and walked out of the hall, his last note coming, "Luo Luo, you are sixteen years old, you have to look like a big girl." ”

Qiu Luoluo stomped his feet angrily, gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: "I can escape the monk, I can't run away from the temple, and the next time I meet you, I must touch enough." ”

"Presumptuous. Qiu Ding walked over and said with a solemn expression: "How many times has Dad told you, don't joke with the elders like this." ”

"But his ears are just playful. Qiu Luoluo pulled Qiu Ding's big hand. She looked like a docile fawn, and she said, "Daddy, I'm going down the mountain." ”

Qiu Ding was being pulled inside by her, and when he heard it, he stopped suddenly, and his face fell in an instant.

"No, I can't. ”

"How are you like Big Brother?"

"Your brother did the right thing. Qiu Ding shook off his daughter's hand and returned to the chair to sit down. "We're doing this for your own good," he said. What's so fun in the mountains, what's delicious, what's beautiful, what do you always have to do when you go down the mountain?"

Qiu Luoluo pondered.

There are emerald green mountains, turquoise water, fat fish, free birds, sweet air, lovely pine trees, nimble rabbits, juicy fruits, hazy clouds, it can be said that it has everything!

It was what she grew up with and what she had to do.

But, these are not what she wants.

The people here are afraid of her, coax her, love her, let her. She can be like the air in the mountains, roaming around the mountains and wilderness, and even breaking into the Ethereal Temple will not be punished. It was because of this that she felt so comfortable.

Once life is all comfortable, there is a lack of truth. If there is no truth, just as the heart has no blood, the brain has no thoughts, and the heavens and the earth have no sun, this is not the real world, but a pitiful horn obscured by castration.

In this unreal world, the fruit she eats is not sweet, the air she breathes is pungent, and the bed she sleeps on is too hard.

She felt like a dew flower planted in the yard, trapped in Xiaoxian Ascending Peak and never able to get out. Her fragrance is full of gardens and can't be closed, but she is lonely and no one smells the wind and rain, what a heartache this is?

She is a gorgeous and colorful landscape, after germination, growth, blooming, and finally will eventually wither in a night that no one cares about, how much desolation?

Thinking of this, her eyes filled with tears. Involuntary tears!

However, these are not the main ones!

A twenty-eight-year-old girl has gone through ignorance, ignorance, rebellion, and will eventually go on an emotional expedition about the budding spring heart.

It was a dark night, and the fragrance of dew flowers was abundant.

Qiu Luoluo, after falling asleep, saw that he was in a dense bamboo forest. The moonlight sprinkled leisurely, and the silver frost was all over the ground. Ahead was an endless path, full of thorns, and surrounded by bone-chilling cold, and she wiped tears from her eyes in despair. At this time, Dan saw a mysterious young man coming from the road. The wind blew his hair in a bun, and the bamboo leaves fell on his shoulders. He stood unruly with a long sword in his hand, dressed in white, but unfortunately, his face could not be seen clearly. In the dream, he said to Qiu Luoluo, "Follow me." ”

So, Qiu Luoluo followed him, and her heart seemed to be gone.

When he woke up the next day, Qiu Luoluo turned over and stayed at the hotel, called Xiao Yanque, and took pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Spread out the paper, the pen was dipped in ink, the small hand waved, and in less than a while, it was completed, named "Bamboo Forest Encounter".

Although, he was only driven by a dream, leaving a lonely back on the rice paper. However, Qiu Luoluo seems to have given it a real soul,

The spring breeze in the pen is vivid. In the painting, every line, every bamboo tree, every fallen leaf, and every halo are all like seeing them with your own eyes. Especially the spirit emanating from the young man's body is even more breathtaking, thinking that he is a celestial man.

Xiao Yanque immediately glanced at it inadvertently, and couldn't help but exclaim, "My mother-in-law, Miss actually knows how to draw." ”
