Chapter 9: Nine Shadows Refining Soul Forest
On the edge of the open space outside the stone steps, there is also a wooden sign with a black body, on which is written in Dansha 'Nine Secluded Soul Refining Forest', but below is a row of small red characters: This road is dangerous, enter the way of seeking truth, know the secret of eternal life, suffer from the tribulation, step on the road to the sky, step on it, life and death are involuntary. Those who are not strong-minded, those who have bad intentions, and those who are inferior in the Dao Foundation will not enter our sect, and they will retreat without death, and then there will be no life, be cautious, be cautious, be cautious, be cautious!
The two young men came to stand outside the stone steps, and after looking at each other, the brilliance of their bodies turned, and then the original black power suits on the two of them suddenly turned into blue Taoist robes, and the robes were also tattooed with small swords like Dao Tong, but the brilliance was different, after changing clothes, the two of them entered one after the other without the slightest hesitation.
The boundary of the Nine Shadows Refining Soul Forest seems to be very huge, although the two of them walked like flying, but they still walked for half an hour, what is even more strange is that although there is fog outside the forest, they can still see the surrounding trees clearly, but once they enter the forest, the visibility is only about a few feet in front of them, and the fog around them will continue to transform into various shapes, constantly washing towards the two people, but they are scattered by the brilliance emanating from the robes of the two people, and so on, it is also strange.
"Senior brother, now that the power of this Nine Shadows Soul Refining Forest is getting bigger and bigger, if I am asked to accept the entrance test of this Soul Refining Forest again, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to pass it!" After leaving the Nine Shadows Soul Refining Forest, the round-faced young man glanced back at the lush Soul Refining Forest behind him, and swallowed his saliva lightly, I don't know why, when he was speaking, he thought of the incident when he had just entered the mountain gate and passed through the Nine Soul Refining Forest, and he still couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes, although the big array in this Nine Shadows Refining Soul Forest is not really straight to the Nine Shadows, but the power is not idle, especially in recent years, there have been several major events in our Heaven and Earth Xuandu, and the requirements for the disciples of the sect are more strict, which strengthens the power of the big array, okay, let's go." The elegant young man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something, glanced at the round-faced young man and said lightly.
Two people walked forward for a few miles, after crossing a slope, they saw a cloud cluster covering the sky and the sun, all kinds of spirit birds and black kinds swept through the cliff air, the most amazing thing is that the aura of heaven and earth seems to have become a substance, flashing bursts of light in the middle of the air, and then to one, is a row of rolling peaks, hidden in the clouds, straight like a fairyland, but from the top of the peak chiseled out a row of ladder-like stone road along the steps up, the stone road is planted with strange flowers and plants on both sides, only to arrive at the bottom of the mountain is a strange fragrance.
The two young men didn't even hesitate, they went up the cliff and headed towards a mountain peak in the clouds on the far right, although the mountain road was rugged, but the two were not affected at all, when they were about to reach the peak, it was a clearing again, but there were no stone carvings and mountains and forests here, some were just standing next to a long stele with a blue light and a row of temples hidden in the clouds.
The stele is engraved with the three big characters of 'Qingyun Peak', the last stroke of the peak is like a sword out of the sheath pointed straight at the head, which is daunting, the two young men looked at the stele with reverence, and then walked slowly towards the current main hall.
Entering the main hall, I saw that the walls inside were painted with auspicious beasts in ancient times, there were dragons stepping on auspicious clouds, there were auspicious beasts unicorns, etc., etc., vividly carved in it, there were four children wearing gray robes in the hall wiping the utensils in the hall, and after seeing the two people, one by one the body saluted: "I have seen two senior brothers!"
"What about the old man?" The elegant young man nodded slightly and then asked anxiously, but the round-faced young man beside him looked at the four teenagers with a smile on his face, and seemed to enjoy the respect of these teenagers, but when he saw the appearance of the elegant young man, he also restrained his smile, but the muscles on his face kept twitching, which seemed a little far-fetched.
"The real person is cultivating in the Quiet Hall at this time, but he has already instructed that if the senior brother comes back, he can go and see him by himself!" the four teenagers glanced at each other, and the thin young man at the front bowed down and replied respectfully.
"Well, I know, you guys are busy, third junior brother, you go back to rest first, I went to see the master!" After the elegant young man finished speaking, he turned his head and explained a few words to the round-faced young man, and then walked quickly around the main hall, through the hall, and towards the apse.
The round-faced young man looked at the elegant young man's figure disappearing, only to cough twice, the four young men didn't seem to be afraid of him, after the elegant young man left, he suddenly surrounded him, and several people sat down on the spot, seeing that the round-faced young man seemed to be excited to talk to everyone about something.
The elegant young man didn't care about what was behind him, after passing through the main hall, he walked in a hurry, and from time to time he met the gray-robed disciples who saluted with him along the way, he just nodded slightly, and after passing through a long corridor, he arrived at the quiet hall at the back, but it was a small courtyard-like existence, if it did not exist on this peak, it was the existence of a small farmer's courtyard.
I saw that in the eye, a huge tree that did not know the annual rings stood in the courtyard, and the dense branches and leaves covered the entire meditation hall and the small courtyard in it, and the people were very cool in it, and what was even more strange was that the light on the tree body flickered, but the aura was completely substantiated, and between the flickering, it floated into the quiet hall from time to time.
"Xiaotian, since you're back, why don't you come in?" The elegant young man stopped on the periphery of the Jing Hall, and seemed to hesitate for a moment, and when he hesitated, an indifferent voice came from through the wooden door.
"Master, it's the apprentice who came back, because he knew that the master was cultivating and was worried about disturbing, so he didn't go in immediately!" The elegant young man replied and stood there with his hands bowed, looking very respectful.
"Idiot, the mortal realm is very important, for the teacher to win for you to enter the mortal realm, but also feel that you are the only one in the seat can take on this heavy responsibility, now you have turned back to the sect, and hurried to see the teacher, there must be something you can't decide, come in quickly!" The person in the hall continued to say lightly, and after finishing speaking, the gate of the quiet hall in the courtyard suddenly opened to the left and right, and then opened by itself.
"Yes, Master!" the elegant young man saw that the door of the temple was opened, and without saying much, he walked inside, and when he entered, the door made another soft noise, and then closed in the middle, and closed again.
The hall is quite spacious, but the layout is very simple, a wooden bed, a wooden table, a row of bookshelves with scrolls, and a few futons on the ground that glow with strange brilliance, above the hall, there is a cyan dark stone, glowing with spiritual light, in it, the points around the body seem to be opened, and the aura is extraordinarily full.
Under one of the futons, facing the elegant young man sat cross-legged a veteran wearing a feather coat, with a bun on his head, and a long kind eyebrow, who looked quite old, but his skin was very smooth, and he was sitting upright on the ground, with a pair of deep eyes hidden in the treasure light, looking at it with an inexplicable sense of dust, and a real person at the end.
