Empty Peak.

Under the low old pine, a young man with a clear appearance sat quietly at the base of the tree.

The edge of the cliff was slightly sloping, and there was a bottomless moat one step away, but he turned a blind eye and looked at the gray sky in distraction.

It was already the middle of winter, and the wind was blowing with the falling snow, and his slightly thicker blue coat on a white background was soaked by the melting snow.

It was a place where few people came, and it became his private retreat.

'Squeak'

It was the sound of thick snow being trampled.

He came back to his senses, and when he heard this steady step, he knew the identity of the person who came.

Mu Qingyun tilted his head slightly and said, "Senior brother." ”

The person who came looked a little older than Mu Qingyun, about his early twenties, carrying a shining long sword, also a blue and white robe, but with more fine decorations than him.

"We grew up together, but whenever you have something on your mind, you will sit here alone, compared to Jun'er's girl, it is much easier to find you. ”

The man sat down beside him as he spoke.

Mu Qingyun heard it, there was nothing special about what he said on the surface, but in fact, he was older than his junior sister Liu Jun'er, but it was just as worrying.

Smiling indifferently, he didn't answer, and looked into the distance again.

After sitting with Mu Qingyun for a while, Shang Luying spoke: "Did you dream of that sea of clouds and giant mountain again last night?"

Mu Qingyun shook his head, lowered his eyes and groaned for a moment, and said, "A person who can't see his face clearly." It's unfamiliar, but it's familiar, and until now I'm still a little upset, and I can't tell what it's like. ”

Shang Luying smiled and said with interest: "Male or female?"

"Female. Mu Qingyun sighed and said, "What do you want to say." ”

"Senior brother, you have grown up too. Shang Luying nodded with satisfaction.

Mu Qingyun glanced at him with a smile, with disdain in his eyes, and said, "It's a bit like Senior Sister Chu."

As soon as he heard the words 'Senior Sister Chu', he immediately coughed a few times and said, "Master often says that everything is born according to the way of heaven and exists according to the way of heaven. There are all kinds of mysteries in the Heavenly Dao, and no sentient beings can penetrate them. A dream is born from the heart, and a dream is born from nothing, if you want to dig deeper, you will find that its meaning is vast and vast. Or it is the things that happened in the previous life and the sights that were seen in the previous life, as it is said in the world, or it is a coincidence without cause and effect, and if there is no cause, it is not clear why, so there is no need to mind. ”

"Don't mind?" Mu Qingyun looked at him and repeated. Seeing Shang Luying nodding, he said, "If you have a dream for half a year, I don't think you mind." ”

Shang Luying smiled and said, "I know that this must be unusual, but as a brother, how can I not comfort you." Actually, I often dream of a person ......"

Mu Qingyun raised his hand to interrupt his next words and said, "Maybe Jun'er can help you take a trip to Shengxi Peak." ”

"Don't!" Shang Luying glared at him, and said angrily: "If you don't listen, you don't listen, how can you make the poisonous plan harm me." If Jun'er is really called, then I will have no hope, and I should speak myself instead of asking her. ”

"Hopefully we'll be lucky enough to wait until that day. Mu Qingyun said, tilting his head, his gaze wandering in the thick clouds.

"What I have been chasing all my life is the mana that penetrates the heavens and the earth, and what I am looking for is immortality and immortality. But throughout the ages, there have been a few people who have been able to ascend to the upper realm with true mana. There is a certain number under the way of heaven, some people can realize the Tao and transcend overnight, but some people can't step into the immortal path after exhausting their longevity. If I am destined to have no chance of immortality, then what I have pursued in the past, now, and future will not be obtained, then is this life worth it?"

Shang Luying nodded and said, "I understand what you are thinking, and I have also asked Master. She said to me that the way of heaven has its own fixed number, but the way of heaven also has variables, and it is this variable that we cultivators seek. Things are man-made, God rewards hard work, rather than chattering and sighing, it is better to go down happily on this road that has already been set on, and who can see the future. After that, he smiled in a low voice and sighed with feeling, "At least we can live a hundred years longer than ordinary people, what's the bad thing." ”

Mu Qingyun heard his deep tone, so he turned his head to look at him.

"Although you and I have grown up together, we don't know my background, so I'll talk to you today. I was originally a child of a dart bureau in Guang'an City, although I am not rich and noble, but I also have no worries about food and clothing. But because of a dart that my father took over...... To this day, the sight of my family of seven, including thirteen guards accompanying the darts, is still vivid in my eyes, like maggo......ts on tarsal bones."

......

The sky is getting darker, and the wind and snow are getting a little faster.

Seeing that several halls in the distance were hung with lanterns, the two people who had been sitting on the edge of the cliff for a long time realized that it was not too early.

"I'm afraid that the food of the fourth junior brother is ready, so let's go back quickly. Shang Luying was a little anxious, and secretly said that he shouldn't have forgotten the time.

"What's the hurry, they will eat the meal first when it is served. Mu Qingyun stretched out his hand to brush away the snow on his clothes, and said indifferently.

Shang Luying looked at him and said, "Master came back today, didn't you forget." ”

Mu Qingyun's movements paused slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Shang Luying, who immediately frowned and gave him a confirmed look.

He chuckled softly, "No, let's go, don't be late." ”

"You really forgot!"

The two hurried down the snowy mountain road.

None of them carried the magic weapon, so they had to walk back.

Taichong Sect is a big sect of Taoism, and since the current head succeeded to the throne, it has developed rapidly, as if there are faint signs of the first Taoist sect. In the door, there have always been four deputy five sect masters who are in charge of the sect together, but after the current Taixu Zhenren succeeded to the throne, the power gradually converged under him, and the other four masters only Zhong Xuanfeng's Yang Weishen still held part of the power.

The main gate is the nine-fold peak in the center of the main line, and the other four doors are in the east to Zhongxuan Peak, south to Chengming Peak, west to Shengxi Peak, and north to Juewei Peak. Each peak has its own scope of control, and except for some things related to the entire sect, there are few interactions on weekdays.

The empty forgetting peak is the range of the first vein of the Juewei peak.

They soon crossed a cedar forest beneath the peak, and walked through a narrow bridge across the ravine to a wide stone path. Walking briskly along the twist and turn, the gradually rising stone road, and after a while, they saw a three-fold stone staircase, and above the stone steps was where they lived in the vein of Jue Weifeng.

Climb the stone steps to see a spacious house with black tiles and white walls directly behind, the structure is slightly magnificent, and the plaque is engraved with the three characters of "Jueweitang", the place where Juewei summit guests.

There are two bluestone roads in front of the hall, the left leads to the residence in the door, and the right leads to the dining hall and the back mountain.

Walking all the way, Rao is cultivator is physique, and he will be tired and tired.

Shang Luying and Mu Qingyun gasped slightly, and then walked towards the dining hall.

There are five dishes on the long table, some of which are vegetarian and some of which are meat, and the appearance is light, perhaps just served, and there is a little steam.

The delicate-looking little girl leaned down excitedly, supporting her head with one hand and drawing circles on the table with the other.

To her right was a slightly older boy with a gloomy expression and cold eyebrows.

"Master, the dishes are ready. ”

After setting the last dish of steamed fish, the honest-looking young man who came out of the kitchen said respectfully to the person on the throne.

"Sit down. ”

The voice is calm, and there is no joy or anger to be heard.

It was a stunningly beautiful woman, with long hair in a high bun, and a white robe with wide sleeves and blue ribbons embroidered with moire. Although he is not dressed up, he still looks gorgeous.

She was now recuperating with her eyes closed, her slender white fingers gently clasping the long table.

The boy answered, and sat down between the little girl and the indifferent boy, and the bench opposite them was empty.

The unhurried sound of beating echoed in the empty canteen, gradually condensing a layer of oppressive atmosphere.

The door was pushed open, and the wind and snow poured in.

After Lu Ying closed the door of the dining hall, the two came to Xiao Yinzhen's side and bowed in unison.

After looking at the two of them, their eyes paused on Mu Qingyun, who was short of breath, Xiao Yinzhen bowed slightly, and they hurriedly took their seats.

After they sat down, Xiao Yinzhen looked at Mu Qingyun and said with a smile: "I have been out for two years, and your senior brother and third junior brother naturally need not be said, even your fourth junior brother and fifth junior sister have grown, why are you still the same." ”

"Master, the second junior brother's physique is naturally special, it is difficult to cultivate, and it is all due to years of hard cultivation to be able to draw qi into the body, even when you are not there, he has never been lazy for half a point, so don't blame him. Shang Luying hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, it's no wonder Second Senior Brother, Master, don't embarrass him. Little junior sister Liu Jun'er also spoke out to defend Mu Qingyun.

Xiao Yinzhen glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I know that he has a special physique. Just looking at him panting, it is inevitable to worry about him. ”

"What Master taught me is that disciples should cultivate hard, and they will never be worthy of their hard work to Master. Mu Qingyun stood up at Xiao Yinzhen and said calmly.

Xiao Yinzhen retracted his slightly meaningful gaze with satisfaction and said, "Sit down." Then he glanced around at everyone slightly, and said, "Let's start chopsticks, the food is going to be cold." ”

As the meal enters the stomach, the atmosphere gradually melts.

Shang Luying asked Xiao Yinzhen, "Master came back this time, I don't know how long I can stay." ”

"Asking that the conference is approaching, I have the responsibility of being the master of the sect, and I will not leave in the short term. ”

Xiao Yinzhen took a sip of tea, and then continued: "This meeting will be held at the top of the Five Buddhas, and the Buddhism is pure, so I don't think there will be too many sects invited." In recent years, there have been many excellent apprentices from various sects, especially the Five Buddha Temple, Cangluan School, Baiyinzhai and Chongyang Valley, which are as famous as my Taichongmen, are full of talents. Although I don't ask you to compete for a good ranking, you also know the purpose of the conference itself, and it is nothing more than a competition between sects, so don't let the teacher lose his face when the time comes. ”

"Master, don't worry, we will do our best. Shang Luying said resolutely.

Xiao Yinzhen nodded, as if he remembered something, and said: "When it comes to the Cangluan faction, the master originally wanted to return one thing to Yunlang Zhenren before coming back, but the real person in charge of the sect was urging him tightly. Which of you would like to take a trip for me?"
