Vicissitudes Chapter 1

01. Ancient paths

"What do you plan to do after graduation?"

"I'm going to Canglan for further study, what about you?"

"Canglan, well, it's a good place, then it's an appointment, goodbye Canglan. ”

"You...... Come on, we'll see you soon. ”

On the quaint path, a 16 or 17 teenager dressed in sackcloth was walking slowly, and the shopkeeper at the roadside tea shop was very surprised when he saw it, because this path was not an ordinary road, but a test road for new students in the world-famous Canglan Academy.

Canglan College is the first college of the "Blue Land", and it enrolls students every three years, and the minimum cultivation limit for candidates for each enrollment is the later stage of the psychic realm.

Psychic realm, that is the third realm on the path of cultivation, can be called a real monk, this realm, the art of resisting the wind and the sword is the primary practice, not to mention that in the later stage of this psychic realm, the vicissitudes of the trial road, should be proficient in one of these two techniques. Which of the previous candidates didn't walk away? and this person ......

Well, maybe people want to enjoy the roadside scenery, which is not very common after all, or maybe they are the kind of people who are specially recruited? Some people are generally a little "different", the shopkeeper thought. However, no matter how I look at this kid, it doesn't look like he has reached the psychic realm...... The aura is thin and the breath is uneven...... This is clearly a sign of the Kaiyuan Realm, and it is also the early stage of the Kaiyuan Realm......

At this time, this little brother's behavior is very different from those swordsmen who brushed away in the air, and he can't attract people's attention if he wants to.

The more the shopkeeper looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask the young man, "This little brother, but you are going the wrong way?"

When the young man heard this, he turned around, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling about this question, and replied in a slightly hearty and calm voice: "No, outsiders can't enter this ancient path. Then he walked to a table and sat down, and said, "I'm just a little thirsty, shopkeeper, let's have a bowl of tea to quench my thirst." ”

The shopkeeper didn't seem to expect this young man to have such a reaction, and after a while, he took a bowl of tea and sent it to the young man, and the young man drank half a bowl directly without grace, and suddenly felt light, refreshed, and said: "Good tea!"

"I don't know what to call the little brother?"

"Traveling clouds. The young man replied, seeing that the shopkeeper was about to speak and stopped, he already knew it in his heart, so he asked with a smile: "The shopkeeper is wondering why I, a kid from the Kaiyuan Realm, are walking so slowly?"

Sure enough, it's just Kaiyuan Realm!" "I wonder if the little brother can solve the puzzle?"

"Cultivation focuses on cultivating the mind, from the inside out, accumulating thick and thin, and it will be smooth and unimpeded. As for the speed of this journey, whether it is fast or slow, the tide is there, and it is always the same. Why worry?" said Xingliuyun with a smile.

"From the inside out, accumulate a lot of ......," the shopkeeper muttered, feeling that he lost his mind for a while, and when he looked at the table again, it was empty. And from the beginning to the end, there were no other tea customers here.

Like a flowing cloud, there are only a few. Those who can enter Canglan Academy must be the best in various places, and if they get this opportunity, they can't bear to hurry up, where will they travel so slowly.

Moreover, when the monks of the Psychic Realm first learned the art of the sword, it was when they were most interested, and they all wanted to fly a few more laps and enjoy the feeling of unrestrained free flight.

On the other side, Xingliuyun, who continued to hurry, was a little depressed, and said in his heart: It is not wrong to cultivate the mind first and then to cultivate the body, and it is not wrong to accumulate thick and thin, but if you can have a higher cultivation, who will not be happy? As for this slow and leisurely journey, I can't resist the sword, and I can't resist the wind, so how can I be fast? It is better to be kind to myself and feel the unique scenery of this "ancient path through the secluded ancient path".

This is not the first person who feels strange about Xingliuyun's cultivation, and even, this person's attitude is good, just doubts, without any contempt and ridicule, if it is different from some people before...... In short, Xingliuyun has long been accustomed to it, and what makes him depressed is not this, but his unreliable master and the unreliable method he has practiced......

Xingliuyun was 6 years old and worshiped a master as a teacher, and at the age of 7, he had condensed the Yuan Mansion and reached the Kaiyuan Realm, and practiced hard for ten years, and then, he was still in the Kaiyuan Realm, and he did not enter for half a minute.

The path of cultivation, starting with the spirit and the Kaiyuan as the base, step by step, reaching the realm of Tongling, Huiling, Huiming, and Ruoxing. This alone is enough to exhaust the monk's life. After that, it is very conceivable and within the reach of people.

Thinking of this, Xing Liuyun had to talk about his unreliable master again, teach himself an unreliable exercise, and play missing...... I don't have anywhere to ask about this situation now.

"Forget it, at least now I don't have anything else unusual except for not being able to practice, and more importantly," Thinking of this, Xing Liuyun's face was serious, and he said silently in his heart: "I'm still alive, alive and sound!"

Thinking of this, Xingliuyun's mood improved, he was no longer depressed, he gathered his mind and continued to move forward.

The ancient path through the secluded is an ancient path exclusive to Canglan Academy, but it is not too special, only to see the golden eyes, the autumn breeze is sorrowful, and there are no other characteristics. And this is probably the only place here that is different from the outside world - this place is everyday!

There is no strong aura, no bizarre legends, only the four seasons and autumn.

Fifteen years ago, Canglan opened part of this ancient path to the outside world and used it as a new path of trial.

It is said to be a trial, but there is no level, although it is not as smooth as the avenue along the way, but there is no danger, no rare beasts, no psychic plants and trees.

Xingliuyun really can't figure out what is the meaning of this "road of trials"? Is it really showing the new students the strange scenery of "four seasons and everlasting autumn"?

Half a day has passed, Xingliuyun has only walked half the distance, at this time there is no longer a new person in the air or the wind, or the sword, and the roadside is no longer seen the tea shop pavilion, for a time it is really a little quiet and far-reaching.

"It's good to be able to resist the wind and the sword, no wonder everyone in the world yearns for the ability to fly in the air", Xing Liuyun said, "Like me, I'm afraid there are few in the entire history of the vicissitudes of life." ”

Laugh at yourself and move on. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the piano, endlessly, far and tactful, full of unyielding resistance, touching the heartstrings. Xingliuyun was surprised, and when he heard the voice, he went away, and when he saw the person, it was already a hundred steps away, and this person's skill can be seen.

I saw that the open space full of fallen leaves, a delicate woman in a pale yellow dress sat on the boulder with clear traces of age, the woman was about 16 years old, not powdered, dignified and beautiful, with a sense of atmosphere that does not match the age, pleasing to the eye.

After a while, the sound of the piano faded away, and neither of them spoke, nor did they look at each other. Xingliuyun was immersed in the sound of the piano, and before she came out, the woman didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't pay attention to the strange man next to her.

After another moment, Xingliuyun finally woke up from the sound of the qin, and said secretly: What an amazing woman! Up to this time, he was still affected by the trace of unyielding resistance contained in the sound of the qin, and he had an urge to rebel against heaven and earth, and compete with the sun and the moon!

Restraining his mind, suppressing the impulse in his heart, he saluted: "I took the liberty to disturb me." ”

The woman didn't ignore him anymore, Ying Ying smiled: "It's okay, meeting is fate, it's rare to see such a strange person as Childe." ”

"The girl praised it falsely, dare to ask what is the name of this song?"

"Just do it casually. ”

"Qu Meiren is more beautiful, and it is really a blessing to see this scene. ”

When the woman heard this, she smiled, but she did not reply. I don't know if it's because this word is too cliché and I don't want to pay attention to it, and I'm still thinking about other things.

Xingliuyun looked up at the sky and said, "It's a pity, there are still important things today, so I can't have a deep conversation, so I will say goodbye." ”

"There is still a long way to go, and it is easy to walk all the way. ”

Xingliuyun turned around and was about to leave, just after walking two or three steps, he seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "Xingliuyun is about to leave, and you haven't asked the girl's name yet?"

The woman in the yellow shirt hesitated a little and said softly, "Mingya Yuehui." ”

After getting the answer he wanted, Xingliuyun said goodbye to the woman who called herself Mingya Yuehui again and left slowly.

Then, after Xingliuyun's figure disappeared, Mingya Yuehui's body gradually became illusory, until it disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared. At the same time, in an unknown wooden house, a wonderful woman sitting cross-legged on a futon slowly opened her eyes, it was Mingya Yuehui, who had just disappeared into the ancient path.

"Xingliuyun, such an interesting boy, should be a fierce opponent. Mingya Yuehui pondered for a moment and said, "I seem to feel a familiar aura from him, what is it?"

On the other side, Xing Liuyun didn't know that Mingya Yuehui had such an evaluation of him, and he was still sighing at Mingya Yuehui's strength. Although Xing Liuyun's cultivation is low, the knowledge he has accumulated over the years is still relatively wide, so Xing Liuyun can see at a glance that the woman just now is just a clone.

"A clone is already a cultivation that I can't see through, this is at least after the Tribulation Realm, then her body ...... Moreover, to be able to condense such a real clone, the spiritual power must be extremely strong. Xingliuyun said to himself, suddenly feeling his weakness, at the same age, his cultivation is, one in the sky and the other underground.

"I don't know where the demon ...... was bred."

It was another half a day, and Xingliuyun finally arrived at the end of the ancient path before sunset, but there was no one in the air, and there was no ......, "This, the senior brother in charge of answering will not leave, right......?"

Although it seems that I have been delayed a lot of time on the road, I can't be so irresponsible.
