Chapter 2 Xuanxiao Gate

The Silent Sea rushes from ancient times, accommodating hundreds of rivers, gathering thousands of streams, connecting the mainland in the west and infinity in the east, and no one knows where it comes from or where it is going. On the land bordering it, there are many kingdoms, and its people are hundreds of millions, and they multiply and live in endless cycles.

At the southernmost tip of this land is a mysterious mountain range, the Mengwu Mountains, where the forests are reckless, the mountains are stacked, and they are shrouded in thick clouds and mist all year round.

Legend has it that there are many immortals who can fly to the sky and escape there, so many people who yearn for the magic of the fairy family come here thousands of miles to see the style of the immortals. Unfortunately, the thick fog that had endured for years was like a thick barrier blocking their progress, and people would get lost and wander around when they walked into it, and the light ones would return to their original places, and the heavy ones could be devoured by the monsters within.

Over time, except for those who are confident and bold, no one dares to approach this place.

Xuanxiao Sect is the largest sect of immortal cultivation in the Mengwu Mountains, and now there are three Yuanying monks in the sect, and there are dozens of Jindan real people under it. Like many sects, the Xuanxiao Sect also selects some disciples to fill the sect every ten years to replenish fresh blood.

Xiang'er is a newcomer who started at the beginning of this year, she is talented, intelligent, highly perceptive, and lucky. Those unwilling people were muttering behind their backs chewing the root of their tongues, and the sour water had sour half of the peaches planted in the door this year.

Today, the heavy rain that has been falling for three days has finally stopped, but God's mood does not seem to have recovered, and the thick clouds are dense and dense, and there is no sign of a clear day. The dust hall looms in the faint clouds and smoke, and it is not real, and the faintly exposed eaves and vermilion tiles add a bit of mystery to it.

Xiang'er stood outside the temple gate, facing a long stone staircase, which was the only ground path to the Lichen Temple, with a total of one thousand and eight steps. At this moment, it only has a dozen or so steps on the top, and now in Xiang'er's eyes, the rest are hidden in the thick mist.

"Scatter!" Xiang'er's lips moved, muttering the mantra she had just memorized recently, and with the gesture she played, she suddenly drank clearly.

Yes, it's a spell, she's casting it. It's a pity that nothing happened after her voice fell, the steps were still the same steps, the fog was still those thick fogs.

Hey, no, it seems that there is something different about the fog, it seems to have faded a little, Xiang'er's heart hangs, and she is happy, is she successful? She opened her eyes wide, staring at the fog on the stone steps without blinking.

In the mist, slowly, four figures slowly walked out.

It turned out that it wasn't her spell that took effect, and the disappointment in Xiang'er's heart was beyond words.

"Xiang'er, what are you doing here?" the crisp children's voice came from the mouth of the youngest boy below, with a little surprise.

Xiang'er saw clearly that the person who spoke was Bai Yunfei, a new disciple who had entered with her, and hurriedly withdrew the hand that still maintained the spell casting gesture, and said, "Senior Brother Bai, I'm casting a spell." ”

Although Xiang'er had a high rank in the door because she worshipped Lifei Daojun as her teacher, because she met Bai Yunfei in Meng Academy, except for Xia Xiaoyan, the rest of the people had not yet apprenticed at that time, and everyone was called a brother and sister. So now, even though her seniority is higher than Bai Yunfei, she still calls him Senior Brother Bai.

Meng Academy is a place where new disciples learn the basic knowledge of cultivating immortals, and new disciples need to study there for three months when they first get started, and then take the apprenticeship assessment. If someone fails the test, they either go home or choose to stay in the sect as a handyman.

Thinking that he had tried all morning without success, he couldn't help but blush, and when he saw that there were still others present, he was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that you are going to the Spirit Garden to learn several spiritual grass planting methods in the near future, how can you have time to leave the Dust Palace?"

Bai Yunfei didn't know her careful thoughts, and when she heard Xiang'er call her senior brother, she waved her hand and said, "You are my senior uncle now, don't call me senior brother again." After speaking, without waiting for Xiang'er to refute, he said: "I didn't come here specially, it's my senior brother, he has something to find Uncle Shen, I think I haven't seen you for a while, so I'll follow and take a look." ”

A group of four people, the young man standing behind Bai Yunfei was the oldest of the four. With a dignified appearance, he doesn't say much, although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he gives people a sense of stability and reliability, he is Bai Yunfei's senior brother Tang Wenxuan.

Before Bai Yunfei entered the Ming Yin Zhenren Sect, he was the youngest disciple of Ming Yin Zhenren, but because he was safe, his senior brother often asked him to deal with some trivial matters in the Ming Yin Zhenren Cave Mansion. often walks around the sect, so he is very well-known, and Xiang'er has seen him a few times.

"Senior Brother Tang. Xiang'er called him by the title of Bai Yunfei.

Tang Wenxuan smiled slightly: "Miss Xiang'er doesn't have to be polite. He had just passed the period of voice change, and his voice was mellow and a little hoarse.

"Ha, Brother Tang Tang, you don't know how to respect your elders too much, you should call Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, do you understand?" The young man standing side by side with Tang Wenxuan seemed to grab Tang Wenxuan's terrible handle and shouted loudly, especially aggravating the word "Uncle Shi". Then he said to Xiang'er, "Little junior sister, did you say that what I said was right?"

"Huh?" Xiang'er blinked her clear eyes, not knowing how to pick up the stubble. Although she has a high seniority, she has never been embarrassed to let others call her uncle and ancestor, if she really wants to call her like that, then she still has hundreds of years of apprentices.

Imagining the picture of a group of old grandfathers and grandmothers shouting "Master" around her, I shudder.

But this person said so, and called her little junior sister generously, who is he? Xiang'er quickly searched for the relevant person in his mind, and finally, a flash of inspiration was......

She looked at this person carefully, and sure enough, it was good, it must be him. At the same time, Senior Sister Shen's evaluation of this person suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Everyone in the door is very easy to get along with, but there is only one person, and if you see it, you must be very careful. This person has a round face and big eyes, white skin and three catties of white face, a hateful face, a poisonous tongue and a cheap mouth, which is very outrageous. ”

At that time, she was very curious, she could get such a "high" evaluation from her senior sister, and she didn't know who it was.

"Senior sister, what's this person's name? ”

"Lu Yaozhi!"

Thinking of the senior sister saying these words word by word, her hideous face and her right hand, which gradually clenched her fingers, had the urge to dismantle this person. Xiang'er couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and subconsciously took half a step back to widen the distance between her and him.

In fact, Lu Yaozhi is not as terrible as his senior sister said, on the contrary, he has handsome eyebrows and clear facial features, although he is half a head shorter than Tang Wenxuan, but he stands there with a smile like a Zhilan jade tree, as if he has a dazzling light, even if the weather is gloomy, the place where he is dazzling.

Lu Yaozhi saw Xiang'er looking at him with fearful eyes, and involuntarily took half a step back, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he made a note of someone in his heart.

"Senior Brother Lu. The three words slipped on the tip of Xiang'er's tongue, and if it weren't for the tip of Lu Yaozhi's ears, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

When they approached, Xiang'er carefully and quickly bypassed Lu Yaozhi, walked to the only girl, played with her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Nianqiu." ”

This girl has a beautiful appearance, but she keeps lowering her head and eyebrows, shrinking her thin shoulders, and her hands keep pinching the corners of her clothes. Hearing Xiang'er call her, she was held affectionately again, and she was a little flattered. He raised his head in a panic, smiled hurriedly, and lowered his head again.

"Nianqiu is my sister, she is quiet by nature, and she doesn't like to socialize with people, I heard that you are classmates in Meng's Academy, so I specially brought her over. Tang Wenxuan sighed silently and said.

Where is she just a little talker, she is clearly half-dumb, Xiang'er said secretly in her heart. When I was in the academy, I never saw her say half a word, even if a naughty child threw her things, she would not resist, she would only keep her head down and silently pick up the things.

said that she had a friendship with classmates, but in fact, she only knew her name.

"Senior Sister Tang is now a disciple of Su Yin Zhenren," Bai Yunfei said enviously, "It's amazing, she has already mastered several spells now." ”

"Listening to the meaning of this, Xiaobai seems to be very dissatisfied with your master. Lu Yaozhi smiled maliciously, "Why don't I tell your master to change places for you?"

Bai Yunfei's face turned white, his master Jiuhe Zhenren and Tang Nianqiu's master Su Yin Zhenren were the eldest and fourth disciples of Shoujing Daojun respectively, and Lu Yaozhi was the youngest closed disciple of Shoujing Daojun. As the youngest disciple, Lu Yaozhi is highly talented, handsome and handsome, and Su Ri is extremely favored by his master and brother (sister).

"Little, little uncle, I don't ......" Bai Yunfei swallowed his saliva, he didn't know what to say, he knew that this was just a joke from Uncle Xiao, but he also knew that Uncle Xiao had a stubborn personality, and if he had a whim one day, he would definitely turn the joke into a true thing.

Uncle Soin...... Bai Yunfei secretly glanced at Tang Nianqiu, it was definitely a terrifying existence.

Seeing that Bai Yunfei was so frightened that he couldn't say anything, Lu Yaozhi pouted secretly, the current little kid, he is really not scared, and it doesn't mean anything at all.

Lu Yaozhi set aside them, took the lead in stepping into the Dust Separation Palace, and shouted: "Mascot, I found what you want, quickly take out your new tea this year." ”

There is a hundred acres of tea garden from the dust palace, the tea made of tea produced in it is clear but not astringent, sweet but not greasy, there is a faint fragrance, the spirit of the smell is clear, and the spirit of drinking is good. It's just that although there are hundreds of catties of production every year, there are a large number of people in their Xuanxiao Sect, and they are all eager for this tea, obviously there are more monks and less porridge, and not everyone has the opportunity to taste it.

Especially among the fine products, in addition to drinking from the dust palace, the few remaining amounts are used for favors. And it is really rare for someone like Lu Yaozhi to come to the door to fight the autumn breeze.

Seeing that the guests put aside themselves and entered the hall first, Xiang'er hurriedly put down the hand holding Tang Nianqiu and hurriedly followed. happened to hear Lu Yaozhi's shouting words, and he was annoyed that this person didn't know the etiquette, and he was curious about what the "mascot" in his mouth was. It's been three months since she's been in the Dust Temple, and she never knows what a mascot is here.

"Senior Brother Lu, we don't have any mascots here?" Xiang'er said with unpleasantness.

"Who said ......" Lu Yaozhi was just about to have a seizure, but when he saw Xiang'er's fresh face, he suddenly realized, "Oh, you are new, I don't know, the mascot is your Senior Sister Shen." ”
