Chapter Sixty-Eight: Returning to the Sect
Now that Shen Ci, who has built a foundation, uses the Blood Kiss to fly with the sword, it is easy to bring one more person.
Shen Ci took Shen Lan back to the Qinghe Sword Sect together, much faster than when he came.
The seven towering peaks went straight into the sky, like a giant pillar of the sky with no end in sight, and the clouds and flying swords coming and going everywhere made Shen Lan stunned.
"This is where the immortals live!" Shen Lan couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes!" Shen Ci chuckled, "In the future, you will also live here!"
"Hmm. Shen Lan clenched her fists a little nervously and excitedly, and at the same time secretly said in her heart: "I will try my best not to embarrass your benefactor!"
Shen Ci said: "The main thing is that the three peaks of Tianji, Tianxuan, and Tianquan are being rebuilt during this time, so it looks particularly lively." β
Thinking that Fu Yunsheng and the two would come back one step earlier, the task must have been handed over by the Sword Hall.
Shen Ci took Shen Lan directly to Yuheng Palace. As long as you pass the level of Qingyuan Zhenren, leaving Shen Lan is not a problem.
In the Yuheng Palace, Qingyuan Zhenren was sitting in front of the hall and tasting tea.
Shen Ci felt very familiar when she saw this scene, as if Qingyuan Zhenren was tasting tea several times when she came to Yuheng Palace.
The movements of Qingyuan real people when tasting tea are elegant and natural, with a unique sense of beauty.
"Master, I'm back!" Shen Ci shouted happily.
Qingyuan Zhenren raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Well, you have successfully built the foundation?"
"Well, yes!" Shen Ci nodded and pushed Shen Lan out behind him, "Bring back one person!"
After telling Shen Lan what happened to him, Shen Ci blinked his eyes and begged: "Master, haven't I always had an attendant disciple, the previous Li Peiying was too unreliable, I think it's very good to let Shen Lan come!
"You! Except for the miscellaneous disciples at the foot of the mountain, the sect does not accept people who do not have spiritual roots, and you are not ignorant!" Qingyuan Zhenren said.
Shen Lan knelt down when she heard this: "Shen Lan is willing to be a miscellaneous disciple, just to be able to serve his benefactor!"
As soon as Shen Ci heard it, he knew that it was going to be bad.
Sure enough, Qingyuan Zhenren's face was not good-looking, and he said coldly: "Miscellaneous disciples can only live at the foot of the mountain, but Shen Ci, as a personal disciple, lives in the upper peak area. If you want to stay, you can't stay with her. In this case, are you still willing to be a miscellaneous disciple?"
Shen Ci hurriedly glanced at Shen Lan, Shen Lan hesitated for a while, but ignored it, but nodded and agreed: "I am willing!"
"In that case, then you can go. As soon as Qingyuan Zhenren stroked the sleeves of his robe, he rolled up a strong wind, took Shen Lan, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shen Ci shouted anxiously: "Master, why can't you take her in, she is willing to serve me as a slave!"
"The rules can't be broken!" Qingyuan Zhenren said coldly, "A mortal without a spiritual root can only be a miscellaneous disciple at the foot of the mountain!"
"But, Lan Lan is so pitifulγγγγγγ β
Before Shen Ci finished speaking, Qingyuan Zhenren interrupted Shen Ci's words: "The monk is different from ordinary people, she will only be out of place when she follows you. You just insisted on keeping her, and how many years could you keep? β
Shen Ci was suddenly silent. She has now successfully built a foundation and has a lifespan of three hundred years. Ordinary mortals rarely live for more than 100 years.
Even if the Qinghe Sword Sect has a strong aura and can help people live longer, Shen Lan is destined not to be able to accompany her all the timeγγγγγγ
"I see. Shen Ci hung his head gloomily.
"It's best if you can figure it out for yourself!" Qingyuan Zhenren put down the teacup, "Do you know why your senior brother and they came back first?"
"Ah, I was about to ask this!" Shen Ci said.
"Because the Abyss Secret Realm is going to be opened in advance!" said Qingyuan Zhenzhen Zhengse.
Shen Ci asked curiously, "Abyss Secret Realm?"
Qingyuan Zhenren knew that she didn't understand the details, so he introduced: "It is a secret realm that has existed for a long time, and it is in the northwest of the Song Kingdom. It is rumored to be a relic of an ancient power, but it is impossible to know whether this is the case. It is said that there are treasures all over the place, and there are countless treasures in heaven and earth. β
"This secret realm is only opened once every hundred years, and there are requirements for cultivation. Only below the Jindan realm, monks who practice qi and build a foundation can enter it. The people who have been guarding the entrance to the secret realm have always been the people of the Guiyi Sect, but it has been less than a hundred years since the last opening, but there is news that the abyss secret realm has shown signs of instability and collapse. Therefore, after discussing with the five major sects, they decided to open the secret realm in advance!"
Qingyuan Zhenren continued: "Fortunately, you came back in time and successfully broke through to the foundation building. Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up with this great opportunity! After you go back, prepare well, and in three days, your Uncle Qingsu and Aunt Qingmiao will take you to the secret realm. β
"Oh, is Senior Brother going too?" Shen Ci bowed, listening to Master say this, it was really a rare and good opportunity!
"Hmm. By the way, your Senior Brother Ye is also back, and I will go with you this time. Qingyuan Zhenren said.
"Senior Brother Ye, which Senior Brother Ye?" Shen Ci asked again, and then reacted again, "Ye Lanbi?"
Coming down from Yuheng Palace, I got the news that Ye Lanbi had also returned to the Qinghe Sword Sect and would go to the Abyss Secret Realm together. Shen Ci was puzzled.
At this time, isn't it the time for the newlywed Yan'er, how could Ye Lanbi leave "Lu Yuciao" and come back?
Could it be that he found out that "Lu Yuciao" was fake? No! He had never seen Lu Yucian before, so he had no way to distinguish the real from the fake.
Or is it really that Lu Yucian escaped back and exposed the fake?
Shen Ci thought all the way, and when he returned to his bamboo building, he saw a slender figure, wearing a white background and blue side robe of his own disciple, like a spring onion and jade bamboo.
Isn't it Ye Lanbi!
Seeing Shen Ci come back, Ye Lanbi pursed his lips slightly, and the wave patterns on the sleeves of his robe swayed in circles as he walked.
"Senior sister, you're back. β
He actually smiled at me?!!
Shen Ci's eyes widened in surprise! The smile in front of him was bright, but he couldn't fake it. Seeing people like a spring breeze, I can't help but want to drown in his eyes!
Shen Ci was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say: "Hmmγγγγγγ You're back, huh?"
"yes. I've been back for a while, but you've been out in retreat and haven't come back. When I heard that you were back today, I came. Ye Lanbi said.
"Oh. Is there something wrong with you coming here on purpose?" asked Shen Ci dryly.
The corners of Ye Lanbi's mouth always seemed to have a hint of a smile: "Can't you come to talk to Senior Sister if you don't have anything?"
"Oh, yes. Shen Ci remembered that he had already married, and he felt uncomfortable and tight.
