At night, the evening breeze is slightly cool, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Qing Ling stood alone on the shore of the border of the Tang Kingdom, and suddenly felt a trace of confusion and overwhelm.

Qingling left Sanqingshan alone without consulting anyone, although she knew that the destination of this trip was Lianhua Temple, but she had never descended the mountain and did not carry a map, and she was completely lost at this moment.

Along the way, Qingling asked many people about the location of Lianhua Temple, but could not get even a definite answer. It's not that I don't know Lianhua Temple at all, or I only know that Lianhua Temple is in Xiniuhezhou, and you have to go to sea to find it.

Qingling relied on the guidance of passers-by and her own exploration, and finally found this coast on the border of the Tang Kingdom, but found that there was no boatman nearby who could take her out to sea, only some fishermen.

Qing Ling was now tired of asking questions, this was not what a person with a cold personality like her was good at, and forcing herself to communicate with others would only make her feel uncomfortable.

She now also knew that she had to go west to Xiniu Hezhou, so she no longer hesitated, flew into the sea and headed for the "west".

Although the "Flying Technique" is a general exercise that all major sects in the world will teach to their disciples, this kind of flying technique without the help of any props has very strict requirements for the depth of cultivation. Even Qing Ling couldn't be said to be completely proficient, after all, her speed in the sky was still a lot worse than that of many top masters.

Qing Ling didn't need the sword at all now, and the time the sword in front of Xuantian was just done on purpose to arouse Xuantian's interest in the art of the sword, in fact, since then, she has regarded herself as Xuantian's master in her heart.

Qingling didn't expect that she didn't know that she was actually a person who naturally lacked a sense of direction. When she was young, she often got lost in the mountains, but as she grew older, she became more familiar with the terrain in Sanqing Mountain, and she was no longer lost, so Qingling never took this defect of her childhood to heart.

And now, just a cup of tea, she was completely lost at sea, not knowing where she was or where she was going next. At this moment, she had completely lost her concept in her mind, and all that was reflected in her eyes that shone like the morning star was a vast blue sea and rolling waves.

Qing Ling felt anxious and uneasy for the first time in her twenty-one years of life at this moment, she stood in mid-air and looked around for a long time, but she didn't see anything conducive to discerning the direction, and for a while, she didn't know what to do.

After pondering about a cup of tea in the same place, Qing Ling finally decided to give up looking for directions, and do whatever he wanted. After making her choice, she continued to walk ahead, drifting at sea for about a day, until the sight she wanted to see finally appeared.

It was a huge island, and you couldn't see the edge of it at a glance. The island is densely vegetated, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of vibrant green.

Qing Ling was now in need of a place where she could settle down and rest, she had been flying at sea for nearly a day, and her true qi had been consumed by more than half, and this island was undoubtedly the greatest comfort to her.

When Qing Ling approached the island, he found that there were many guards in silver armor stationed on the shore, covering and sealing almost the entire coastline. The guards all looked serious, and they looked like "idle people."

etc., do not enter".

Qing Ling's heart couldn't help but sink when he saw this scene, and secretly thought: "Won't this be an island?" I hope I won't be so unlucky." ”

As soon as his thoughts turned, Qingling still chose to land on the island.

Seeing that a stranger was approaching, the guards immediately surrounded Qing Ling, with the intention of arresting her. Seeing this situation, Qing Ling looked a little displeased, but he didn't fully show it, and asked one of the guards who walked in front of him at this moment: "Tourists who have traveled here from the Great Tang Kingdom, and they came to the island today, I don't know why you want to stay in Xia?" If tourists are not welcome here, then you can leave now." ”

When the guard heard this, he immediately bowed to Qing Ling and said apologetically: "It turns out that the distinguished guest who came all the way from the Tang Kingdom has offended a lot. Now Penglai has been invaded by foreign enemies, and now the entire southern area of Penglai Island has been occupied by enemy troops. Our army decided to defend the northern coast to the death, not to give the enemy a chance to sneak attack, and to investigate every person who went ashore. ”

Qing Ling was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What is the origin of the foreign enemy in your mouth, and why did you invade Penglai Island?"

The guard's expression was full of anger, and he said hatefully: "They are from the Qingqiu Country of the Southern Ganbu Continent, one of the six major sects in the world, and it is said that they were driven out by the sect because of misbehavior. As for why they invaded Penglai Island, we don't really know anything. ”

"Then what is the situation of the aborigines in the south of Penglai Island now?" Qingling asked in a slightly worried tone.

Hearing this, the guard suddenly raised his head to the sky and sighed, and said in an extremely resentful tone: "Although they are only a few thousand in number, they are all proficient in strange arts, and they are extremely powerful. Ever since they landed on the south bank, every city or village they had visited had expelled all the people who lived there, and few of those who resisted survived. It has only been less than a month since they landed, and more than 1,000 people have been killed or wounded in Penglai. The king gathered all his troops and sent an army of 50,000 to attack, but he was defeated and lost thousands of soldiers. Now we can only defend the northern lands, ready to put up a last resistance. Could it be that the pure land of Penglai Island will eventually be occupied by foreign evil people?

Qing Ling was deeply moved by the guards' poignant and tragic words, and said in a deep voice: "How can this be true! The next time your armies fight, I will definitely go and meet them to see how capable they are. ”

The guards were overjoyed when they heard this, and said respectfully: "I really don't know Mount Tai, I didn't expect that the distinguished guest was actually a master disciple of Sanqingmen, if you have your help, I believe that our army will be like a tiger." There can be no further delay, and I will now bring my distinguished guests to the king. ”

After saying that, he immediately brought two war horses with pure white hair from the rear, and said to Qingling: "These two are high-grade horses, please choose one of them, and it will be your mount on the island in the future." ”

Qingling waved his hand and smiled a little embarrassedly: "No need, I don't know how to ride a horse." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "Then how can I take the distinguished guest to meet the king?"

Qing Ling smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I know the art of controlling the sky, and I am by no means slower than your Maxima." You open the way ahead, and I'll follow behind. ”

The guard patted his head and said with a smile: "Your guest is a master of cultivation, and he can walk against the wind

No mounts are required. Look at my confused brain, I forgot about it. ”

The two of them then rode one after the other, one on horseback and the other floating in the air, and set off for the capital of Penglai Kingdom.

Seeing that Qing Ling could fly in mid-air, the eyes of all the guards were instantly dull, and the perfect appearance and extraordinary skills made all the Penglai guards unanimously think that she was a goddess of heaven who came down to save the world.

The capital of Penglai ---- the Apocalypse King City.

In a palace with a vast space and splendid decorations, on the throne directly behind sat a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow dragon robe, with a dignified face and a majestic aura all over his body.

The previous guard was now telling him what happened after seeing Qingling today, and it was obvious that this middle-aged man was the king of Penglai Kingdom.

When the king had heard what had happened, he was overjoyed, and after praising the guard and rewarding him with some taels of silver, he ordered him to retreat. Then the king asked Qing Ling, who had been standing quietly behind the guards, "Is this woman from Sanqing Mountain?"

Qing Ling replied: "Exactly." When I heard that your country was in trouble, I came to help. ”

"The heroine is truly compassionate, but I wonder what you know about this cult?" asked the king tentatively.

"This Soul Worship Sect is one of the six major sects in the world, located in the Qingqiu Kingdom, the holy land of the Fox Clan in the Southern Ganbu Continent, and is far away from our sect. I have only heard from rumors that the people of the Chongling Sect are good at all kinds of strange arts, which can hurt people invisibly, and I don't know much about the others, I hope the king will forgive me. Qingling replied.

The king sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that even the heroines didn't know their details. Our Penglai army joined forces with Shangwutang, one of the six major sects on the island, to resist the enemy, but they were easily repulsed. The disciples of Shangwutang are all superb in martial arts, but they can't go through a few rounds in the face of the disciples of the Chongling Sect. The opponent can cast spells from a great distance to attack us, and it is impossible to prevent it. Sanqingmen and Lianhua Temple are the six major sects with the most disciples and the most famous, and this king has admired them for a long time. I hope that after witnessing the other party's spell, the heroine can come up with a way to crack it. Penglai has now entered a critical moment of life and death, and whether it can survive this catastrophe depends on the outcome of the next battle. In the name of the people of the whole country, this king begs the woman to help us this time, and if we can successfully repel the enemy, this king will be very grateful. ”

After saying that, he was about to get up and salute Qing Ling, but Qing Ling hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him: "The king doesn't have to be so polite, the cultivator has to help the world and save people as his own responsibility, and Qing Ling is willing to serve the people of Penglai." ”

Before Qing Ling left, the king of Penglai told her: "The residence of the heroine, this king has prepared it for you, it is specially set up to recruit celebrities like you, and I will order a maid to take you there." In addition, if the heroine wishes, she can go to the Shangwu Hall, a mile north of the royal city, where the disciples have fought with the enemy and have some knowledge of the spells they cast, and the heroine can go and discuss with them the strategy against the enemy. ”

After Qing Ling bowed to the king, she was led by a maid to the residence that the king had prepared for her.

When he walked to that vicinity, Qing Ling found that the places used to receive guests were not just rooms, but rather spacious courtyards. There are dozens of courtyards like this, and the style is similar.

Seeing this, Qing Ling said in his heart: "It is worthy of the Wang family, it is really magnificent." ”
