Eight years later

"Ah Xiao, wake up, wake up. The ethereal sound of wandering echoed in the room, and with the sound of the wind whistling outside, the surrounding environment seemed a little lonely.

Ah Xiao suddenly woke up from her dream, and the silence around her was a little panicked, and the voice that had just echoed in her ears had disappeared in an instant. She sat up on both sides of the stone kang, the windows blown open by the strong wind, and weeds and dust flew into the house.

With dust blowing in her face, Ah Xiao got up and got out of bed and closed the window, and then walked to the round table in the middle of the room and stood down.

On the table was neatly placed a blue and white porcelain teapot and a few teacups, next to the cups, a token pressed on the letter paper, the wind blew in through the crack in the door, and the corner of the paper was lifted from time to time.

Ah Xiao moved the token aside, gently picked up the paper with both hands, and looked at the clean and neat text on it seriously:

Ah Xiao, Master is gone, you have been following me all these years, although you call me Master, but I have never taught you anything, I hope you don't complain about me. In the past few days, Master's health has not been as good as before, you have to find a more suitable place to recuperate, you take this token, go to the Purple Star Sect before the full moon next month, hand it over to the master, he will take you in, in the future, Master is not around, you have to take care of yourself.

Ah Xiao put the letter paper in her arms, picked up the token and looked at it carefully, in fact, she had already noticed that Ming Muli was wrong in the past few days, and she could also feel that the spiritual power in her body was constantly dissipating, although the letter was to recuperate, but she knew that Ming Muli just wanted to find a quiet place to die.

Immortal cultivators have always been aware of their lifespan, and many monks with a strong nature will find a secret place to die quietly before they die. The body turned into fairy dust and submerged in the soil, which means that it can go to all parts of the world with the wind. The aura in the body will be absorbed by heaven and earth, and become the spirit of heaven and earth that gives birth to all things in the world.

A Xiao was born with a cold temperament, doesn't like words, and never gets entangled in emotions, she calmly put the token in her arms, walked to the dressing table next to the bed kang and sat down, looking at the person in the bronze mirror sluggishly.

She was born with a symbol, not to mention the stunning fragrance of the country and the city, but she was born delicate and clean, with delicate skin, delicate facial features, especially those purple eyes, like the stars in the clear sky at night, as bright and charming as glass.

Ah Xiao has never heard Ming Muli talk about the past, she doesn't want to ask more, the doubt about the master's life experience has been hidden in the bottom of her heart, this token, Ming Muli has never taken it out for eight years, at this moment when I see it again, I don't know if it's an illusion or what, she always feels a faint smell of blood and fire smoke floating around.

Ah Xiao got up and changed into a black plain dress, her hair was tied in a high bun, tied with a long black belt, capable and concise, although she was dressed as a man, she could still see her daughter's body. She simply packed her belongings and went out, locked the door, and stopped after a few steps forward.

Ah Xiao glanced left and right, the surrounding area was vast and full of grass, and the wooden house behind her was built by Ming Muli and her, located on the top of Quling Mountain, because the mountainside terrain was treacherous and prone to collapse, so almost no travelers were willing to pass by here for many years, and they also had some quiet days.

In front of the wooden house, there is a stone table and two stone benches with the top of the simple smoothed, in the past, if it is a sunny day, Ming Muli will teach Ah Xiao to read and write here, and sometimes they will drink tea and eat together here, although it is simple but there are many memories.

A Xiao walked around the stone table to the front diameter, out of a distance, the terrain is an obvious downhill shape, at a glance can hardly see the bottom, from a high place to look down, the terrain is very scary, this is at the top of the mountain, if you accidentally slip the soles of your feet and fall down, you will have to fall to pieces.

Ah Xiao raised her right hand and was about to exert force, when she suddenly remembered what Ming Muli often said to her: "Ah Xiao, spiritual power should not be used indiscriminately. ”

Although she was disrespectful to the world, she was still grateful to Ming Muli, and still retained some respect for this master, so she retracted her hand in desperation, returned to the wooden house and took two long sticks, and carefully walked down the mountain with a pestle in one hand.

There is a big road repaired by the official family at the foot of Quling Mountain for travelers and businessmen to walk, plus these days to the day when the three major sects recruit disciples, Wanzhou City, which is not far from Quling Mountain, is the only way to sign up for Ceyang in the capital, and many people who cultivate immortals will settle here, and there are quite a lot of pedestrians on this road.

Boom!

On the main road, the immortal cultivators or travelers and merchants were hurrying away, and suddenly a person fell from the mountain next to him, lying motionless in front of the group, and the girls walking in front were frightened and retreated away.

Ah Xiao didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and she was still holding a half-broken wooden stick in her hand, she just stepped on a piece of mud that was wet with dew and a little thinner, but she didn't expect that the wooden stick in her hand was so unreliable, and it was broken directly, but fortunately, she had the spiritual power to protect the heart and veins.

Behind her, a few people who were in a hurry stepped forward to help her, but before she touched her clothes, Ah Xiao had to stand up and take a step back, looking at them vigilantly, led by a girl, seeing that Ah Xiao was not only fine, but also so flexible, a trace of surprise flashed on her face.

She stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Why did you fall off the mountain?"

Ah Xiao didn't speak, she looked her up and down, this girl is very delicate, there is a childish spirit between her eyebrows, her blue eyes are particularly aura, and the above eyebrows are less than an inch away from the hairline, two pointed white horns appeared, a blue embroidered brocade skirt is clean and tidy, and two light blue dragons are embroidered on the white collar.

"Are you going to Ceyang too?"

Ah Xiao ignored her, lowered her head and patted the dust on her clothes, the girl was deflated, she didn't mind, but the maid who followed behind was not happy, and stepped forward and shouted: "Are you polite!

Princess?

The dragon has always been a symbol of auspiciousness, the world always has an attitude of admiration for it, although the dragon clan is not a sect of cultivating immortals, but it is famous in the four seas, the status is lofty, especially the dragon nobles are ten thousand people to worship and worship, and even in the whole place of the Panxiao continent, there are four seas dragon temple, the decoration is gorgeous and noble, every year all over the country will hold a unified dragon worship festival, in order to show respect for the dragon king of the four seas.

This princess was also spoiled, Ah Xiao ignored them, picked up the luggage on the ground, patted the dust and turned away.

"You man!" the maid saw that she was so neglected, and was so angry that she was about to shout when she was stopped by a look from the princess, she pouted, lowered her head in annoyance and snorted, and followed the group on her way.

When Ah Xiao arrived at Wanzhou City, it was already dusk, and there were many pedestrians on the street, most of them were children of various families wearing bright clothes.

On the Panxiao Continent, immortal cultivators are superior people, because they can use spiritual power to prolong their life and benefit the world, and some talented people can also cultivate into immortals, immortal and immortal. Therefore, many ordinary people are trying all kinds of ways to let their children enter the sect of cultivating immortals, and the three major sects are their first choice.

Ah Xiao walked half a street before finding an inn that was not too crowded, and just after walking a few steps inside, Xiao Er greeted him: "Guest officer, please come inside!"

Ah Xiao stopped and glanced at the environment in the store, dozens of tables and chairs were full of people, and there were swords and weapons placed next to them, all of them looked like they were cultivating immortals.

"Do you have a room?"

Xiao Er nodded with a smile: "Yes!"

Ah Xiao took out a silver ingot from her arms and handed it to him, Xiao Er took it with both hands, and opened her hand to invite her upstairs: "Guest officer, I'll take you there." ”

At this moment, a group of people walked in, led by a man wearing a golden brocade robe, you know, in this world, who can wear this golden dress to walk around the streets, except for the royal family, who has the courage.

Everyone in the store looked over, and a few of them stood up respectfully to greet each other, Xiao Er hurriedly ran over, "Guest officer, welcome, welcome, please!"

Ah Xiao calmly looked at the man in brocade, his appearance was delicate and handsome, there was a little cinnabar mark in the center of his eyebrows, as if he was born with a congenital appearance, his eyebrows were full of arrogance, he held a folding fan in his hand, and the fan was painted with an ink drawing of Chongguo Palace, and a unicorn was embroidered on the golden robe he was wearing, which was the symbol of Chongguo.

"Do you have rooms? We want three. ”

It was not him who spoke, but the lightly armored guards who followed him.

Xiao Er lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry guest officers, there is only one room left in the shop, and it has just been opened to that girl." As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Ah Xiao behind him.

The guard didn't speak, but looked at the man in front of him: "Childe, this ......"

Mu Yangsheng, as the second prince of Chongguo, the son of the queen of the dynasty, was favored by the emperor, since he was born, there has never been something he wanted but could not get, he glanced at A Xiao with disdain, stretched out his hand, and the guard behind him Fei Yang understood what he meant, and took out a gold ingot and put it in the palm of his hand.

"I want that room. Mu Yangsheng said arrogantly, but his eyes glanced in the direction of A Xiao, and his eyes were so arrogant that there was no one in his eyes.
