After Fu Huanjing said goodbye to Huanhai Pavilion, along the way, he always felt that someone was following him.

Every time Fu Huanjing looked around, the man disappeared like a ghost without a trace.

At this time, Ye Qiufeng was already ready to stop, and Piaoxue only listened to him: "Brother Shui, you can drive the boat." ”

At the same time, I heard Ye Qiufeng whispering in Xue'er's ear: "Xue'er, close your eyes, don't think about anything, I'm here." ”

Although Piaoxue didn't know Ye Qiufeng's intentions, she still closed her eyes obediently.

She felt that Ye Qiufeng was hugging herself tightly from behind with her arms, and she felt very sweet and down-to-earth in her heart.

Then she heard a loud bang and the sound of sticks flying around.

Then, I felt the ship accelerate suddenly, as if it had been thrown out suddenly, and at the same time felt a violent vibration from the hull of the ship.

Piaoxue only felt that the blood around her body was rushing to the top of her head at once, and her chest was empty, but she couldn't breathe like she had pressed a boulder.

She felt like a leaf whirling in the whirlpool of the rapids, like a dead grass drifting in the fierce wind, her ears were filled with the whirring of the wind, the sound of the oars hitting the water, everything was involuntarily, she didn't know where to fly.

Piaoxue couldn't help but grasp Ye Qiufeng's hand tightly, it was a pair of hands that were still warm and powerful, Piaoxue felt that she seemed to be better.

It's a familiar feeling.

The first time was in Tongzhou three years ago, when he was injured and fell into Ye Qiufeng's arms.

The second time was after he was expelled from the division, and it was Ye Qiufeng who carried him down the mountain.

The thought of this makes the snow feel sweet.

After a while, Piaoxue felt that she was gradually getting used to the vibration, and couldn't help but quietly open her eyes.

It didn't matter, Drifting Snow immediately saw the rushing rapids in front of the boat, the splashing water beside the strings, and the stone pillars with interlaced canine teeth rushing towards him, as if he wanted to chew himself and the boat to pieces.

And the man was standing barefoot in the bow of the boat, driving the iron boat in the water with the iron oar in his hand.

I saw him pull left and right, and the iron boat sailed zigzag and floated in the gaps that seemed to be just passing.

Several times, the drifting snow had clearly seen that there was no way to avoid it, but the man was always able to save the day at a critical moment, so that the iron boat would not crash into the stone pillar.

Piaoxue noticed that there were many natural gaps between these stone pillars, which were connected like natural waterways, but in her eyes, each of them was similar, more like a chaotic labyrinth.

There didn't seem to be any special markings on the stone pillars, but the man didn't hesitate in the slightest, as if he already knew the waterways here.

And he actually stood barefoot on the bare bow of the ship, letting the hull of the ship jolt violently, but did not move at all.

Piaoxue looked at it for a while, only to feel that her heart was shaking, and she was unspeakably uncomfortable, so she quickly closed her eyes again.

After about a cup of tea, Piaoxue obviously felt that the vibration of the ship's hull was much smaller, and the speed didn't seem to be so fast, so she slowly opened her eyes again.

Then she saw a fairyland-like place that she could only see in her dreams.

It is a small valley surrounded by mountains.

The valley is quiet and serene, and every flower and plant seems to be enjoying its life to the fullest.

There was absolutely no wind, but there seemed to be a hint of warmth flowing quietly in the air.

Let everyone here feel a sense of relaxation and comfort that has never been felt before.

Ye Qiufeng and Drifting Snow have this feeling now.

The tension and exhaustion of the days seemed to be released and relieved in an instant, and the whole person felt very comfortable.

Piaoxue couldn't help but jump a few times like a child, and then turn around in place a few times.

What girl doesn't love flowers, and which girl doesn't love beauty?

And what is now unfolding in front of the drifting snow can not be described by a beautiful word.

Looking at the snow, Ye Qiufeng also smiled.

After all, it's been a long time since he's seen Piaoxue so happy and childlike.

He was secretly glad that he had brought the snow here.

There are many decisions to make in a person's life.

Whether forced or voluntary, there will be an outcome to be endured after the decision.

And Ye Qiufeng's decision this time was correct.

Over there, the man surnamed Shui had already packed up the boat, and when he saw Piaoxue's appearance, he only said coldly: "Rare and strange!"

Then, as soon as he leaned over, he had already carried the boat pulp on his shoulders.

Hearing this, Piao Xue pouted and said, "What's the big deal, some people think that they have a bit of brute strength and can make irresponsible remarks about others if they can row a boat?"

The man was already about to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped and said coldly: "Then tell me what kind of person is really capable." ”

Ye Qiufeng saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly winked desperately at Piaoxue.

Of course, Piao Xue understood what Ye Qiufeng meant, but she deliberately pretended not to see it, and said with two small hands on her waist: "If you want me to say, this so-called stone forest is not a big deal, only a stupid person like you came up with this stupid method, in fact, with my brother Qiu's ability, I can get in by relying on light skills, isn't it, Brother Qiu?"

After Piaoxue finished speaking, she deliberately "hummed" as if demonstrating, and at the same time, she twisted her head and never looked at the man again.

Sure enough, the man's face immediately turned pale when he heard this, as if he was about to have a seizure.

Ye Qiufeng here secretly said in his heart: "Oops", he knew that this water brother was very bad at words, but his temper was notoriously violent, so he hurriedly hugged his fist to the man and said: "Brother Shui, Xue'er is young and ignorant, and she is joking, I hope you don't take it to heart, the little brother has thanked me here." ”

When the man heard this, he forcibly suppressed his anger, turned around and walked quickly towards the corner of the valley, only to throw down a sentence coldly: "Is your brother Qiu so capable?"

When Piaoxue heard this, she wanted to refute again, but Ye Qiufeng on this side had already leaned over, grabbed her hand, and signaled not to say more.

Piaoxue was so angry that he stomped his feet on the ground, but the man had already gone without looking back, and disappeared into the valley in a blink of an eye.

"I'm so angry, Qiu, why don't you let me say a few words to him, I just can't get used to his arrogant look. Watching the man walk away, Piaoxue said indignantly.

"Xue'er, you don't know, this water brother has such a personality, but he is extremely old-fashioned and warm-hearted, I think you misunderstood him. Ye Qiufeng said.

"Really?" Piaoxue was still unconvinced.

"Okay, now we're going to see the master, and when we meet the master in a while, you can't lose your temper with the miss, you know? The master is an extremely strict person, he doesn't like others to joke with him, and no one dares to talk back to him. Ye Qiufeng is colorful.

"Okay, got it, I'll just not say a word for a while. Seeing Ye Qiufeng's anxious appearance, Piaoxue hurriedly assured.

However, she was thinking in her heart, "What kind of master makes Brother Qiu afraid to be like this, for a while, I want to see it." ”

Ye Qiufeng led the snow to a corner of the valley.

Only then did the snow drift realize that there were many portals and passages of different sizes on the mountain walls around the valley.

Drifting Snow guessed that the portals were some rooms, but the passages didn't lead anywhere, and it was so dark that it was hard to see how deep they were.

The man surnamed Shui just now disappeared here, thinking that he was already lying on his own in his room.

As soon as he thought of the man surnamed Shui, Piaoxue's anger didn't come to one place, and he made up his mind that when he saw the master, he must say a few bad things about him, and see if he dared to be so arrogant.

Drifting Snow was thinking about what to say when a little boy stepped out of a passageway.

is estimated to be twelve or thirteen years old, with two small pigtails, but he looks decent.

When the little boy arrived in front of the two, Shi Li said, "Senior Brother Ye, the master said, tell you to meet him in the hall." ”

With that, he turned and left.

"It turns out that you are still his senior brother, hehe, it seems that your rank is not low!" Piaoxue smiled quietly.

"I didn't have this little boy when I left here, and it seems that the master has taken in a new disciple. Ye Qiufeng said.

"Do you have a lot of brothers?" said the drifting snow.

"As far as I know, the master has always been very strict in choosing apprentices, and pays attention to chance, Xue'er, don't talk nonsense for a while. Ye Qiufeng instructed again.

Piaoxue said: "Don't worry, I know what to do, I promise not to make it difficult for you, no matter how you say it, it's your master." ”

"Cher, then I'll rest assured, let's go, let's go to the hall." Ye Qiufeng let out a sigh of relief.

Among the many passages, there was one of the largest, Ye Qiufeng and Piaoxue walked in.

Needless to say, this hall must be a relatively important place.

On the two walls of the passage, there are some oil lamps, so it is not very dark.

It's just that this passage seems to be naturally formed, because the surrounding walls are all smooth, and it is tortuous to walk, and there are only some traces of artificial repair at the corners.

Occasionally, there will be spiky stalagmites hanging down from the roof of the cave, and you can hear the sound of tinkling and dripping water.

"Autumn, why do we seem to be in a cave?"

"Yes, because this is a natural cave. Ye Qiufeng said.

"Where does this cave lead?"

"Direct access to Yamauchi. Ye Qiufeng said.

"Are we going to the inside of the mountain?"

"Yes, because the hall is in the inner center of the mountain, where we meet and gather, speaking of which, I haven't been here for a long time", Ye Qiufeng said.

"I'm guessing you'll miss them a lot. "Snow trails.

"Yes, how do you know?" Ye Qiufeng asked with interest.

"Your expression, your expression has told me everything. Piao Xuejiao smiled.

"Yes, I don't know how the master and the brothers are doing now, I really can't wait to see them right away. But, Cher, for some reason, I'm a little afraid to see them. Ye Qiufeng said embarrassedly.

"You call the hometown more tangible, let's go, don't think about anything, everything will be clear when you arrive", Piaoxue couldn't help but make a grimace at Ye Qiufeng.

"You're right. Seeing Piaoxue's mischievous appearance, Ye Qiufeng couldn't help but say.

As the two of them spoke, they had gone deeper and deeper, and the dampness in the cave was getting bigger and bigger, and green moss could be seen everywhere on the cave walls.

After walking a little further, the moisture suddenly disappeared, and there was a faint smell of flowers and plants in front of him.

Could it be that there are flowers and plants growing in the belly of this mountain?

You know, it is impossible for flowers and plants to survive in this place where there is no sunlight all year round.

However, the peculiar smell of flowers and plants in the air is real.

What kind of cave is this?

At this moment, Ye Qiufeng suddenly pointed to the front and said, "We've arrived, Xue'er." ”

Only then did the snow realize that there was a hole in front of it.

A hole in which light shines through.

It was a faint, soft light, very different from the oil light in the cave.

Walking out of the cave with the guidance of the light, my eyes suddenly became brighter.

A large expanse of flat land with an exceptionally majestic courtyard on which was built.

There are cornices and warped walls everywhere, and there are carved beams and painted buildings everywhere.

In the middle is a wide bluestone road that runs through it.

Ye Qiufeng said: "Xue'er, look at it." ”

Piaoxue looked up and found that she seemed to be in a huge deep well, "sitting in the well and watching the sky" through the high, round well.

The wellhead is large, and above it is already a thin and energetic sky.

The moon hung on the edge of the well, and the faint soft light poured down like water.

The whole "bottom of the well" is shrouded in this misty moonlight, which is even more solemn and solemn.

In the center of the "bottom of the well", there is a building that is a head higher than the other houses, and that is the hall.

The high stone steps and sixteen stout marble columns seem to show its majesty.

On the plaque at the entrance of the hall, there is a large book with the word "Zhong".

The red ink is hearty, especially the one in the middle, standing up to the sky and the earth, with a momentum that runs through the universe and knows through thousands of Taiji.

When everyone arrives here, they will unconsciously feel small.

It was as if he could only look up. But it's so unattainable.

It seems that only by sincerely kneeling down and worshiping can we get rid of the anxiety and inferiority in my heart.

Ye Qiufeng didn't know how many times he had been to this place and climbed this stone step.

This is where he lived when he was a child, and between the stone steps and stone pillars, you can still hear the sound of his childhood friends playing.

However, as he grew older, Ye Qiufeng felt more and more about the sacredness of this place.

Not only in the senses, but also because of the powerful, righteous power that this place represents, which can make the most powerful shock in the heart of everyone who knows and understands.

If you are a godly seeker, then your Word is here.

If you're on a quest, this is the place you've been looking for for the rest of your life.

Now, Ye Qiufeng was standing in front of this familiar hall again, and this feeling was even stronger than before.

People are afraid because they don't understand, and they have delusions because they don't understand.

However, if after in-depth understanding and getting along, you can still produce that kind of emotion from the origin of nature, it can only be because one thing is great.

This is the source of the power that sustains humanity for generations to come.

You may complain that there is too little greatness, but perhaps it is because of the scarcity that the true meaning of greatness is more highlighted.

The avenue is silent, the voice is loud, and the truth of the world is like this.

Piaoxue's heart was also shocked.

She couldn't even move her eyes and body.

Everything in front of him seemed to have a magical power, which was firmly attracting him, and his soul, his body, seemed to be leaving him, no longer under control.

The little girl who laughed and scolded just now has completely changed, and there is only admiration and solemnity on her face.

Far upstairs, there seemed to be the sound of more drums.

The moonlight looks ethereal and distant.

It's like urging and reminding everyone who hears that time is slowly passing and must cherish the present.

Ye Qiufeng and Piaoxue looked at each other and smiled, joined hands, and slowly climbed the stone steps.

They walked slowly, but with great determination.

They had a smile of understanding and a heart-to-heart on their faces, as if nothing could separate them at this moment.

At the top of the stone steps, they saw the spacious hall.

There was no door at the entrance of the hall, but the stone pillars stood there.

There is no door, which may mean that as long as you can get here, this place is open to you.

Isn't it true that great means the same?

At this time, the hall is brightly lit.

The master and his disciples are here.

In the center of the hall is a red Persian carpet.

Two rows of stone chairs lined up neatly on either side, on which sat several young people.

There were men and women, and everyone had a peaceful expression on their faces.

At the end of the carpet is also a stone staircase.

It's not high, there is a huge seat on it, and the master sits on it.

He is estimated to be in his early fifties, tall and thin, and although he sits, his upper body looks extremely slender.

The face is clear, the cheeks are slightly sunken, but a pair of glasses are bright.

He just sat quietly, but with an unusually intimidating momentum.

When you look at him, you will feel that the lights of the entire hall are no longer shining.

Because his body seems to be shining forever with a light that people dare not look at.

It's not that he sits on a chair on the stone steps, high up.

He shines only because of who he is.

Some people, no matter where they are, will be the center of attention.

Because nothing can hide his light.

Master, he is such a person.

Those young people, maybe everyone has something to be proud of.

Perhaps they were also the center of attention in the eyes of others.

But that can only be elsewhere, in front of others.

Here, in front of the master, everything is destined to be only a foil.

However, there was no trace of unwillingness or resentment on everyone's face.

Perhaps, for them, this is the way it should be.

Perhaps, being able to sit here quietly is already a great happiness for them.

The autumn wind and the snow moved forward along the red carpet.

No one spoke, because the master had not yet spoken.

At the end of the red carpet, Ye Qiufeng and Piaoxue hurriedly knelt down to salute.

The loud voice of the master Fu Hongliang came from the stone steps: "Feng'er, don't be polite!"

The first two words are still on the stone steps, but the last four words are already in front of you.

The master had already floated down the stone steps at some point, and was leaning over to pull the two up.

Piaoxue only felt a soft force supporting herself, and stood up involuntarily.

There was no sound of the wind, not even the sound of the garment vibrating, not the slightest trace.

It seems that the master has been standing here all along.

Piaoxue's eyes were full of surprise, but Ye Qiufeng's eyes only contained reverence.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, your old man has always been good, and you want to die as an apprentice!" Looking at the master, Ye Qiufeng only felt that there seemed to be a tide in the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I miss you as a teacher, I'm relieved to see you come back, Feng'er, who is this little girl?"

"The disciple is about to tell the master, this is my inner son drifting snow. Ye Qiufeng said, pulling over the drifting snow with his hand and said, "Xue'er, I've seen the master soon!"

Piaoxue hurriedly floated down and bowed: "Xue'er has seen the master, Xue'er asks the master to say goodbye, I wish the master good health!"

"Okay, good, such a clever little girl, we really have a vision, haha", the master smiled, and his voice was even louder.

At this moment, he no longer seemed to be the high-ranking master, but just a generous elder.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the master, they are children, two children who have just returned from outside.

And he, like a loving parent, is lovingly inquiring and caring for his children.

The hall seemed to be filled with a kind of family joy.

Piaoxue suddenly felt very warm, and felt that the master master was not as stern and unapproachable as Ye Qiufeng said.

Is it just because they are in different positions and experiences?

Or is it because it is like born from the heart?

"Master, there is one thing that Xue'er thinks is very strange and wants to ask Master", Piaoxue's eyes blinked.

Ye Qiufeng's face changed slightly, he didn't know what strange ideas Piaoxue was going to come up with, so he hurriedly darkened his eyes.

"Oh, what's the matter, tell me about it?" said the master with interest, and there was no displeasure in his tone.

"Drifting Snow wants to know what the hell this is, how do I feel like I'm in a deep well?"

"Oh, you can ask Feng'er this question, why Feng'er, didn't you tell Miss Xue'er?" The first half of the master answered Piaoxue's question, but the second half of the sentence was said to Ye Qiufeng.

Ye Qiufeng only felt a cold sweat on his back, and hurriedly knelt down and replied respectfully: "Master Yu, without the permission of the master, Feng'er didn't dare to tell Xue'er everything here without permission, and besides, Feng'er also asked the master to cure me for the crime of bringing Xue'er here on my own initiative, if it wasn't for the fact that I had to, Feng'er would never dare to do this." ”

The master said: "Okay, get up, I don't blame you for the teacher, the teacher feels that he is very close to this girl, and if you have time, you can tell Xue'er everything here, and then take her around." ”

"Yes, the disciple obeys the order, and the disciple Xie Master is not responsible", Ye Qiufeng let out a sigh of relief and said respectfully.

He was ready to be punished, because he knew the rules.

Originally, outsiders were not allowed to enter the sea market.

If you want to come, you have to wait for the permission of the master.

Because this is a mysterious place in the first place, mysterious means that there are many things that cannot be known to outsiders.

There are no rules, there is no circle, and the secret of the sea market can be kept for so long, and the strict door rules are of course the main reason.

Strict door rules are, of course, severe punishments, and Ye Qiufeng certainly knows what it feels like to be punished.

He was more aware of the importance of this rule to the sea market.

It was something he would rather lose his life than violate.

Now, however, he has broken that rule.

It's all because of the snow.

Because he really couldn't think of a safer place than here.

Perhaps, in his heart, the safety of Piaoxue is far more important than his own life.

Now, however, there was no punishment, not even a hint of displeasure.

Ye Qiufeng could only secretly congratulate himself that his luck was really good this time, but at some point, his sweat was already soaked.

"Master, Xue'er still has a lot to say to you", Drifting Snow Road.

"Okay, okay, I'll have a good chat with you when I have time to go to the teacher, now, you are going to meet his brothers and sisters with Feng'er, they have been waiting for a long time. The master said.

"Yes, Xue'er sends off the master. "Snow trails.

"Feng'er, after meeting your senior brother in a while, the two of you will come to my study to see me, and the teacher knows that you also have a lot to say to me. After the master finished speaking, he drifted away.

Ye Qiufeng and Piaoxue hurriedly bowed, but there was still the shadow of the master there, only the loud laughter still echoed in this hall, and it was endless for a long time.

The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.

Fu Huanjing finally discovered Ye Xiu Su Mingzhe, it turned out that his soul yuan was not killed by the charm Yang Yaozhi, but escaped by luck and attached to his peak sword.

When Ye Xiu Su Mingzhe's brutal soul rushed towards Fu Huanjing.

Hearing Fu Huanjing softly recite the Soul Destroying Twisting Mantra, the Ye Xiu Su Mingzhe behind him was scattered.

At this point, the yellow finch was behind, destroying the soul and twisting the curse.
