Chu Hong returned to Jiuyuan Mountain, which was still the mountain guarding pavilion at the foot of the mountain. I haven't been back for months, and it's not as dusty as I imagined, and it's obviously a lot of people who come to clean it.

When he came back this time, Chu Hong came back with Niu Gang, and as for Fang Wei, he voluntarily stayed in the Far East. Master Xuanwu is gone, and as a disciple, he must always leave someone to guard his tomb.

Uncle Sun didn't come either, although Jiu'er was brought back to Xuanxing Peak by her senior sister, but the huge palace always had to be taken care of. What's more, grandmother and godfather Liu Laowan also need someone to worship every year.

As for Zhao Qingchan, she woke up before Chu Hong left. According to Chu Hong's meaning, he wanted to bring her back to the mountain. However, this woman, who had experienced ups and downs, insisted on choosing to stay and succeed to the monarch of Zhao as the only royal bloodline. And this is also in line with the interests of Jiuyuan Mountain in the Far East, and Liu Feng, as the first elder of the Far East Land Town Guard, also repeatedly assured Chu Hong that there was no problem with Zhao Qingchan's personal safety, and Chu Hong finally agreed to Zhao Qingchan's request.

Not long after Chu Hong came back, senior sister Zhan Yunqian heard the news. And brought a piece of news, the Master Xuanxing Dao who rarely showed up was summoned.

God is pitiful, since the last time I saw Shizun when I abandoned Sword Cliff, I have never seen Shizun. I felt that I had been forgotten by this master who saw the head and end of the dragon.

Chu Hong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after hastily explaining a few words to Niu Gang, he went up the mountain with Zhan Yunqian.

Returning to the mountain when she first came to Xuanxing Peak, Zhan Yunqian stopped moving forward and pointed to the sea of clouds.

"Na! You go up by yourself! Our disciples of Xuanxing Peak, without being summoned by the master, will not be able to go up to the master's cultivation place easily. ”

Chu Hong hesitated in place for a long time, "Senior sister, how often are you usually summoned by the master!"

Zhan Yunqian glanced at Chu Hong amusedly, and said a little proudly, "I can't say, under normal circumstances, like senior brothers, they only go once a few months, and I can go if I want." As for the elder brother, he also retreats above the clouds all year round. ”

"Ahem, Senior Sister, Senior Sister is really the only one who has won Master's grace! I don't know what Master summoned this time?"

When Chu Hong heard her senior sister's words, she became even more depressed. Secret Dao: It is said that the girl is the father's little padded jacket, and it turns out that the female disciple is also the master's little padded jacket!

How did Zhan Yunqian know what Chu Hong was thinking, and the playful little red boots spun around and kicked a stone down the mountaintop.

"How do I know! You go up and ask the master yourself. Okay, go ahead, I'm leaving. ”

"Oh, hey, sister, where is Jiu'er? I've been back for a long time, and I haven't seen her. ”

"Oh! Jiu'er is studying with Master and his old man. You'll see her when you go up the mountain!" Zhan Yunqian had disappeared, but the voice came from afar.

"What kind of treatment is this! Our Xuanxing Peak is too female-oriented, right? Why don't we pay attention to equality between men and women?"

Chu Hong muttered, didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly climbed towards the top of the mountain.

The leaves on Xuanxing Peak in autumn have begun to become colorful except for those pines and cypresses. The scenery along the way is indeed pleasant, and there are all kinds of rare birds and beasts, such as cranes, sables, foxes and other spiritual objects shuttling through the mountains. In the distance, you can also see white flowing clouds flowing through the mountains, and from time to time you can see waterfalls rushing down.

Chu Hong admired the beautiful scenery all the way to the top of the mountain, on the top of the mountain, there was only a small thatched hut that was not big, and it was only two or three rooms in size. And next to the grass house, on a large stone as warm as jade, an old man with long eyebrows and long hair and white hair is sitting cross-legged and meditating.

A teenage girl in a colorful fringed feather dress is teasing a small sable. I don't know what kind of sable it is, its hair is purple all over, and there is not a single variegated color. It is also extremely spiritual. Probably feeling that there was a stranger, he quickly ran from the girl's arms to the girl's shoulder, grabbed the girl's hair and hid himself, and let out a "shuo" sound.

"Brother Chu, you're finally back! Jiu'er wants to kill you. ”

The girl looked up and saw that it was Chu Hong, and immediately smiled, and flew towards Chu Hong like a magpie. It was Sun Jiu'er.

"Haha, Jiu'er, are you still used to living in the mountains?"

Chu Hong was naturally very happy to see Jiu'er, when she was in the palace, Chu Hong treated her like a sister, and now she is naturally even closer when she meets.

"Well, the master and the ancestor have been very good to me, and there are several masters and uncles who are very good to me, and they have also given me a lot of greeting gifts. ”

Chu Hong watched Jiu'er not see Jiu'er for more than two months, but she actually grew a lot taller. Stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her head, "I'll go to see the master first, and I'll take you down the mountain to play later." ”

Jiu'er responded obediently, "The ancestor is asleep, I'll wake him up!"

As he spoke, he ran over, reached out and grabbed the beard of the Xuanxing Patriarch and pulled it a few times.

"Senior Ancestor, Senior Ancestor, Brother Chu Hong is back! Wake up quickly! Don't sleep anymore!"

Chu Hong, who saw it, was startled, and her eyebrows couldn't help but shake a few times.

Xindao: This girl, this is the favor of many masters!

Seeing that the master was showing signs of waking up, Chu Hong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly shouted respectfully, "Disciple Chu Hong, meet the master, may the master live a long and eternal life, and his life will be the same as the sky!"

"Hmm, Xiao Qi is back, I haven't seen you for some days, have you broken through the innate nature?"

The old man Xuanxing didn't know whether he was woken up by Jiu'er's beard or Chu Hong, he yawned long, and while snatching the white beard from Jiu'er's hand, he responded to Chu Hong casually, and his eyes pretended to glare at Jiu'er fiercely, as if he was blaming her for picking up her beard again. But where is the meaning of blame for seriousness?

"Back to the words of the master, the disciple has followed the teachings carefully, and has cultivated to the peak of innateness, and has never broken through. ”

Chu Hong replied respectfully, not daring to make a mistake at all.

"Heh, relax, this is not your Chu madman's style, you don't have to be so restrained. Come, sit!"

The old man Xuanxing teased Chu Hong quite jokingly, and with a slight wave of the jade dust in his hand, a futon appeared on the ground, signaling Chu Hong to sit down and reply.

After Chu Hong sat down, the old man Xuanxing looked at Chu Hong carefully and nodded gently,

"Well, yes, the cultivation is consolidated, and the foundation is also solid. You handled the matter of the extreme east well this time, and let the sect get a good trial secret realm. Do you know what the teacher called you this time?"

"The disciple doesn't know, please solve the doubts!"

"In one more month, it will be the big competition of the sect. All disciples below the Divine Illumination Realm can see it. The Master wants you to be the Chief in order to prepare for the Three Sects Covenant in three months' time!"

"The Great Sect of the Three Sects?"

Chu Hong asked in some surprise.

"Well, I don't need to say more about the big competition of the sect, the top ten of the big competition over the years will get a lot of resources. As for the Three Sects Alliance, it is a grand event in the Eastern Territory jointly organized by my Jiuyuan Mountain, Qingyun Sect and Sword Alliance, which is held once every ten years, and at that time, each sect will recommend disciples from the Xuanyuan, Shenzhao, and Innate Realms to participate. Our Xuanxing Peak is scarcely populated, so you can participate on behalf of my Xuanxing Peak!"

"This book is also passable, you go back and practice. It should be enough for you to cope with this event. The requirements for the teacher are not high, so take the leader of the innate realm back. If you succeed, the master will officially accept you as a closed disciple, and you can choose one of the blessed peaks to which Xuanxing Peak belongs. Otherwise, you can stay down the hill!"

The old man Xuanxing threw out a book at random, and Chu Hong hurriedly caught it.

"The disciple will live up to the teacher's respect!"

"Well, you can step down! Jiu'er, you and your uncle haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's go down together! Don't slack off on your cultivation! Go ahead!"

After speaking, the old man Xuanxing slowly closed his eyes again.

"Yes. Shizun (Shizu)"

Jiu'er secretly raised his head and saw that the old man Xuanxing had closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, so he stuck out his tongue mischievously. got up from the ground, pulled Chu Hong and chattered, and went down the mountain excitedly.
