Chapter 120: Shangqing Palace (Ask for Recommendation and Collection)
On the cliffs that are difficult for mortals to reach in their lifetime, the majestic outline of the Shangqing Palace can be faintly seen in the clouds and mist. Chang Xi looked at it, the Shangqing Palace was located at a high level, and below it was a stone forest with endless peaks and peaks, which was difficult to reach without swordsmanship. Seeing that Qin Chuan and the other Shangqing Palace disciples had no intention of controlling the sword, Chang Xi couldn't help but be a little curious about how they would return to the sect.
Qin Chuan burst his fingers into his mouth and blew out a rhythmic long whistle. A moment later, a distant echoing crane chirped in the distance. Look closely, only to see a few graceful cranes cruising in the dome of the Shangqing Palace, flying over, the white wings spread out enough, not seeing how fast the fluttering edges, but only a light fan can fly leisurely out of the long distance, which is amazing.
Qin Chuan and the other disciples each took one by three, and deliberately gave up an immortal crane for Chang Xi to ride alone. Chang Xi hugged his fists and thanked him, and flew lightly on the crane's back. The crane looked back and sighed, Chang Xi smiled and touched the crane's snow-white slender neck, obviously loving this very spiritual crane. In another place, Qin Chuan's hand stretched out in mid-air to stop Chang Xi suddenly froze, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
The fairy crane in the palace is the most proud, and the disciples in the palace are all careful not to move when they ride the crane, for fear of annoying the crane and lifting themselves out. But Senior Brother Chang and his own crane were obviously the first time they met, but they were very intimate, and reaching out to touch the crane's neck was something they couldn't even think of. The scene of the crane's sharp beak pecking lightly in Chang Xi's palm came into his eyes, and Qin Chuan was really envious.
The cranes flew over the Qifeng Stone Forest in a row, their wings fluttered through the oncoming clouds and mist, and crashed into a ripple like water, Chang Xi only felt cool and comfortable, and the wisps of rich aura floated in his nose, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
The magnificent atmosphere of the Shangqing Palace hall straddles the mountain stream according to the steep mountain situation, the majestic stone steps wind from the foot of the mountain to the top of the sea of clouds, the zigzag corridor bridge prohibits flashing, the Milky Way that flies straight down 3,000 feet is divided into a few crystal clear wisps with a high and profound magic, and rolls around the beam, the murmuring water sound and the bell sound complement each other, which is worthy of being the realm of the fairy family.
Qin Chuan touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "The scenery of Shangqing Palace is much worse than that of Qingyun Mountain, which makes Senior Brother Chang smile." ”
It was difficult to hide the amazement in his eyes, Chang Xi shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Your sect's meteorology is rare in the world, compared to Qingyun Mountain, it is not much better, Senior Brother Qin should not be arrogant." ”
Qin Chuan was slightly stunned, and his heart suddenly had a good impression of this Senior Brother Chang, it turned out that the disciples in the upper five sects were all so approachable?
The crane's wings rolled up and fell on the leading platform, and the crane looked reluctant to arch in Chang Xi's arms. Qin Chuan said: "I also ask Senior Brother Chang to hand over the disciple's nameplate to me temporarily, and I will immediately present it to the master after a moment here." ”
In other people's territory, it is natural to act according to other people's rules, Chang Xi nodded and handed over the nameplate of the inner disciple to Qin Chuan. The nameplates issued to the disciples by the sects belonging to the Immortal Dao Alliance are all refined according to specific specifications, and others cannot imitate them, and they only need to take a look to know the authenticity.
Chang Xi also had no intention of wandering around in other people's sects, and if he touched any prohibitions, he didn't make sense, so he simply found a place to stay on the receiving platform and sat down, waiting for good news.
The crane that was holding Chang Xi saw Chang Xi sitting alone by the lotus pond in a daze, fluttering his wings and swaying to jump into the lotus pond and step on the water. Chang Xi laughed, took out a pill that he usually took when he was cultivating and spread it in the palm of his hand, the crane pecked at the tip of his beak, raised the slender and graceful crane neck and swallowed it, Chang Xi screamed a few times, and his voice was full of intimacy.
The young man in the coarse linen shirt had an unusual intimacy with the proudest immortal crane in the palace, which made the other disciples in the Shangqing Palace who saw this scene all stunned.
After a while, Qin Chuan went and returned, with a smile on his face, and returned the disciple's nameplate to Chang Xi and said, "Master has already known about this matter and agreed to travel with Senior Brother Qiu Li and them tomorrow." He then paused and said, "Senior Brother Chang, your residence has also been arranged, come with me." ”
For the Shangqing Palace, it is just a gesture, but for Chang Xi at this moment, it can be described as a send-off, Chang Xi bowed to the end, "Lao Guizong bothered." ”
After saying goodbye to the crane, Chang Xi and Qin Chuan walked on the way to their residence. On the scenery, the Shangqing Palace does not lose the Qingyun Mountain, the elegant pavilion is surrounded by the eaves and angles overlapping upwards in the towering giant trees, walking through the zigzag corridor bridge of gurgling water, stepping into the winding path of birds and flowers, it really has a unique meaning, people can't help but indulge in it.
Walking on the road, Chang Xi suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Chuan, "I don't know if Shangqing Palace can still accept disciples now?"
Qin Chuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself, could it be that Senior Brother Chang wanted to worship under the Shangqing Palace? But then he laughed at himself, Senior Brother Chang was already a disciple of Qingyun Mountain, how could he look down on such a second-grade sect as Shangqing Palace? After stabilizing his mind, he responded: "Naturally, we don't have many disciples in Shangqing Palace, so we recruit new disciples every year to replenish fresh blood." ”
Chang Xi touched his chin, remembered Huzi's honest appearance, and told the truth.
Qin Chuan smiled when he heard this: "Since that kid can be favored by Senior Brother Chang, he must be outstanding." As he spoke, he took out a delicate jade talisman from the storage bag and handed it to Chang Xi, "With this Shangqing talisman, you can participate in the annual selection of outer disciples in the Shangqing Palace. After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he touched his head embarrassedly and said: "This time I went down the mountain to experience the demon extermination, and I also wanted to find some good seedlings, didn't I just go down the mountain and be troubled by the blue-eyed tiger." ”
The two of them talked and laughed and quickly arrived at the residence, made an appointment to meet with the senior brother of Jindanjing in the palace at the reception platform tomorrow morning, and asked for a token that could enter and exit the introduction platform and a well-fitting black shirt, Qin Chuan no longer bothered Chang Xi to rest and leave. Chang Xi watched the light of the token in his hand flow and groaned for a long time.
Dawn is coming, the sky is not yet bright, the mountains are quiet, occasionally hear a few insects in the forest, Shenxi Village is still immersed in sleep. A black shadow suddenly appeared at the entrance of the uninhabited village, and the black robe and black hair were wrapped in the deep night and the face could not be seen clearly. He walked through the rice paddies and stepped on the ridges, each step was extremely slow, like nostalgia, and like an aftertaste.
When he found Huzi's house, the black shadow was silent, took out a few bottles of pills prepared from his arms, pinned a delicate jade talisman to a letter, and gently placed it on the window eaves, his fingers accidentally touched the wooden frame and made a soft sound, and Huzi's alert voice immediately sounded in the room, "Who is it?"
The black shadow was still silent, but Huzi's voice full of anticipation sounded in his ears: "Is it Brother Chang?"
The dark shadow's heart trembled, and finally broke the silence, "Yes." ”
A soft cry from the tiger sounded, and Chang Xi said again: "I'm leaving." ”
The sound of feet stepping on the ground in the room paused, and there was silence for a long time, and Huzi's slightly crying voice sounded: "Brother Chang, can you see you again in the future?"
"As long as you do what I said in the letter I left, we will definitely meet again. Chang Xi stretched out his little thumb into the eaves of the window and said with a smile: "This is my agreement with you." ”
The reluctant sobbing sound in the house made people feel sad, and the little thumb that stretched out the eaves of the window hooked tightly with Chang Xi, as if making an oath, Huzi's voice was loud, "I will!"
"I'll wait for that day, and hopefully by then, you'll have grown into a man who can protect the side. ”
Huzi only felt that the warmth in his hand was gone, and the words in his ears were getting farther away, and he hurriedly looked out the window, where was there still the shadow of Brother Chang?
Dawn rose, the light shone on the eaves of the window, Huzi gently opened the letter, the care and advice between the lines seemed to be still in his ears, he should have spent his ordinary life doing nothing, only because of this engraved jade talisman in his hand, and countless possibilities were born.
He slowly knelt down into the distance, his voice hoarse, and let two lines of clear tears flow.
