Between the peaks of the ring arch is a silver river that winds like a belt, and the river has thousands of golden bridges. The palace view towers of the gate on the peaks are dotted, and the houses and workshops of the people in the river valley are endless. The terraced fields of the valley and the neighboring peaks are clustered like fish scales, and the wooden oxen and horses that plough the land are like ants, and the windmills and mills are like woods. As far as the eye can see, the more secluded mountains are the lush forests for grazing spirit animals, the gardens for cultivating immortal herbs and medicines, and the veins containing all kinds of treasure mines—the manpower to operate there is incalculable.

The town is populated and prosperous. It is not like a place of cultivation for a few monks, but a pastoral paradise for men and women.

“...... In the troubled times, the world is turbulent, and demons are raging. We, the Dragon and Tiger Sect, sheltered the native creatures, and included the displaced people in the cave as miscellaneous disciples. Later, the population of Dongtian grew, and the counties within the sect's influence gradually stabilized. The people have moved out one after another, scattering in Wuyue and the two roads -- there are still 100,000 families in the town who are responsible for various ministries in the mountain. ”

Along the way, I listened to Pian Pian tell everyone about the general situation of Xiangrui Town. The scale of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain is magnificent, and I am shaken when I see it.

Liu Ziyue interjected and said to me,

"Senior brother, don't be blinded, the operation of our Kunlun Mountain is no less than the scale of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. ”

He smiled at Pian Pian again,

"Senior Sister Shangguan, I don't mean to demean your sect. ”

Pian Pian smiled faintly, and then pointed to the majestic palace view on the highest mountain peak in Xiangrui Town,

"The gap between the Dao Gate and the mortal is not as great as the legend outside - many of the courtyards of our sect are in the town. The palace view of the high hill was the summer residence of the emperor in the past, the west palace is now used as the courtyard of the ferry, and the east palace is used as the courtyard of the association; the courtyard surrounded by the palace view used to be the mountain villa of the ancient generals, some of them were used as the buildings of our sect to deal with miscellaneous affairs and industries, and some of them were used as the buildings of the outer disciples and visitors. ”

She paused,

"The Taoist friends who went all the way back to the mountain with us - Jizo Lion and Fengmeng also temporarily lived in the Huitong Pavilion building on the peak of Xiangrui Town; Nangong Shizi has left the mountain to go to the Star Sect and is protected by the Yuan Infant of our sect; Long Shao is detained in the prison of my sect - but the junior brother does not have to worry about his safety, this time Pingyun Menglong Shao also participated in the meritorious service, and the sect will send him away safely when the imperial capital exchanges prisoners of war. ”

She said something similar to Liu Ziyue.

"The sect won't confiscate the collection in Long Shao's Na Ring, right?" I thought about it and asked her.

"There's nothing wrong with a demon who swallows his share. "The more willow laughs.

"How can this be. If the sect confiscates Long Shao's share of the loot, I will pay him back with my own share!"

I bit my lip to dispel the idea that Liu Ziyue had stirred up. The first time I was the leader of a group of cultivators, I embezzled the goods of the group members, and no one would dare to follow me in the future-I have engraved in my heart the words of my father who taught me how to be a pirate leader.

"I confessed to the prison master who was guarding Gongsun Wenlong. After the exchange of prisoners of war, he will return to his grandson and accept the ring, and the spoils of war will not be short of him--but junior brother, you must not go to the secret prison to see him, and if you act like this in the sect, you will inevitably be suspected of befriending evil demons. ”

The girl in Tsing Yi said in a deep voice.

"Pianpin, you're so attentive. "I am truly grateful. She thought of the situation first, and she had already resolved it for me.

We passed through the townspeople's mansions and climbed to the high hill where the Huiji House was located. There is a cold pond of several acres in front of the high hill, and there is a faint sound of dragon groaning under the cold pool.

Without waiting for Pian Pian to speak, I made a move, and a purple lightning flying dragon rose from the pool, turning into a sword light and submerging into my silver snake sword. After more than half a month, the Silver Snake Sword Spirit was finally complete again. My beloved seven-turn divine sword was like a mirror for a while, shining with all the gods.

-- This spiritual pond and the spring of Boyuezhuang seem to be accumulating the power of thunder. Some of the sword spirits of the Silver Snake Sword nourished most of the moon in it, and it was a little stronger.

No. This is the spring of Hazukiso. was moved to the Dragon and Tiger Cave with great magical powers.

There is a stone tablet standing on the side of the deep pool, on which are written the two big characters "Lei Chi", which I carved with the silver snake sword in Boyuezhuang at that time.

"Yo. Ji Zhenren, the original sword is empty--the former nephew, where is your little lover in red? Now there is a little lover in Tsing Yi?--The man who likes the new and hates the old will be cut off by the girl with a knife in the future. ”

On the mountain road, the sound of a swaying woman ecstasy came. Shangguan Pian's face flushed.

"Why! I've always been with Princess Lin! ”

I hurried back to answer the familiar voice without thinking. Before he answered, he suddenly felt that his breathing was interrupted, his body was heavy, and his heart was full of demons.

I gathered my thoughts, concentrated on the source, resisted the woman's magic voice, and pulled out the silver snake sword at the same time.

"Poof".

I don't have anything. However, Liu Ziyue fell down in a hurry, and rolled seven or eight on the hillside. He got up and cursed and shouted

--"There's a demon girl! Everyone rushes up-"

Before all the roars came out, Liu Zi shut up more and more.

"It should be called Uncle Tu Su. The Tu Su Sect Master reformed his evil and returned to the right, and made great contributions in the battle of seeking Yunmeng, and is now the vein master of our Kunlun branch. ”

Another gentle, languid voice came.

Next to Tu Suwan, the naked sect leader, was a young man with crispy bones and soft skin, fiddling with an iron Ruyi in his hand as fine as a wicker, it was Ji Liuli.

There is also a little red fox standing on a small stool with a light Luo small fan for Ji Liuli to fan the wind to catch flies, it is a crimson coat.

It seems that Ji Liuli has been playing against the young man who had been playing against the stone bench just now - I don't know the wooden boy opposite him. The age of the teenager and I are similar, and from the breath, it is also a powerful golden pill. The young man stared at the chess surface like a puppet, his anger was as heavy as a dead well, neither moved by Tu Suwan's charming, nor aware of our arrival.

("This nerd boy is the fifth generation of our Kunlun Zhibei Tour Zhenren, called Zhiyi.") Cultivation is a Taoist golden pill, I don't know what magical means it will be, I only know that it is a chess saint. This time, Ji Zhenren brought him from Kunlun to Middle-earth, and he didn't know what to do--but, I heard that today's son was also a boy who liked chess, maybe-")

Liu Ziyue said to me in her thoughts.

Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted. Liu Ziyue's face turned purple, as if she was being pinched by an invisible person.

"Bugs are a real nuisance. ”

Ji Liuli's two fingers suddenly pinched a fly, and flicked the small insect away in disgust. Then Yooko opened her mouth and took a deep breath as if she was saved.

"Fun. ”

Tu Suwan smiled sweetly.

Ji Liuli yawned while beckoning me with iron Ruyi,

"Usually when I am in the mansion, I get up from the couch after noon. Today, on a whim, I calculated that you were going to come during the day, in order to wait for you to miss a few hours of sleep. ”

- I thought Ji Liuli would ask Princess Lin where she was going first. But Ji Liuli's expression didn't show any strangeness at all, as if she didn't have the slightest interest in the whereabouts of the girl in red.

"The people of Yunmeng have such means and plans, and the Sword Sect will definitely not be able to catch it this time. I heard that Lin Daoming was even attacked by Biluo Huangquan, and he couldn't use his supernatural powers for a few years, and now he has gone to retreat in the dojo of the Cloud Immortal. Ha. ”

Ji Liuli laughed while talking,

"I heard the battle between you and the people of Yunmeng tell the Rat Immortal Canggong. The battle between the two Lei Fa general outlines is really exciting and interesting. It's a pity that I had to be busy elsewhere at that time. No blessings, regrets. ”

"What is Uncle Shi busy with?" Could it be that Ji Liuli was busy drinking tea with women when we were fighting in the bloody cloud dream.

"Me and the Five Poisons Sect Master, ah, now we are also the branch vein masters of Kunlun, and we accompanied Ji Zhenren to Yelang City. ”

Tu Suwan said quietly,

"When Lin Zhenren took the elite to Yunmeng City to grab merit, Ji Zhenren was angry for us and asked the two Sword Sect Yuanying who stayed in Yelang City to return to my city. ”

- She said lightly, with a vicious look in her eyes.

Behind the word "want", I don't know how many Sword Sect people's lives have been damaged?

"Now Yan Caixia is still sitting in Yelang City and fighting with the Sword Sect. However, the ghost gate's Huagai general led the remnants of the ghost soldiers to all surrender to our Kunlun, and our two sects had many generals in Yelang City; the sword sect of Jingnan Dao was not presided over by Lin Daoming, and their remaining men could not take it back-the original Jiankong, which also has your credit, you were the first to persuade the Huagai general to surrender. Ha. Count it up, your merits in this Yunmeng Battle are enough to be ten Jindan Elders!"

Ji Liuli clapped her hands, and then asked me for the nine difficult scriptures, and he took my inscriptions and turned them into nothingness:

"The elders of Kunlun will have a preliminary discussion: you don't have to continue your Nine Difficult Trials, and Princess Lin is no longer your guide. When your two-month lockdown period expires, you will be granted the qualifications and authority of an inner disciple, and when your remaining period of nine difficult examinations expires, that is, on August 15 next year, you will be granted the qualifications and authority of an elder of the sect. Some time before August next year, you will be assigned something else. ”

Ji Liuli took out a roll of pictures from her sleeve and gave it to me.

When I unfolded it, it turned out to be a picture of mountains and rivers surrounded by thousands of peaks and clouds.

"This is the dojo that our Kunlun gives to our disciples. You pick a favorite spiritual mountain, and then be your dojo in Kunlun Mountain. The thunder pool of the Eye Boyue Village will also be sent to you. You choose your own spiritual mountain, and I will move it to your peak. ”

The more envious Liu Zi became,

"Senior brother, the spiritual mountains on the picture are all the spiritual veins that Kunlun picks well and chooses the sharpest. My Duxiu Peak can only be at the bottom of it. ”

I pursed my lips, this is what Lao Tzu was born and died in exchange.

"Boom!"

Ji Liuli used Tie Ruyi to knock the head of the wooden boy known as the "chess saint". Tie Ruyi knocked seven times in a row, and the young man jumped up with a bang, and then covered his bleeding head and looked at us in a daze.

"Knowing the righteousness, this is your junior brother's original Jiankong. When you go to the imperial capital to see the Son of Heaven in the first month of next year, you will be on the same road with him. ”

Ji Liuli pushed the wooden boy towards me.

-- I'm going to the imperial capital in two months? to see the emperor? What does this mean!

I was puzzled.

What about Princess Lin? Why hasn't Ji Liuli asked her or mentioned her until now? I thought of Princess Lynn and my mood became gloomy again.

"Senior brother, please take a seat. Junior brother, please drink tea. ”

The boy kept his head down, and his eyes did not make contact with me (to be exact, his eyes did not make contact with anyone but the ground). Including Ji Liuli), he mechanically reached out and handed me a medicinal tea like a wooden puppet. This posture makes it seem like I am his son, he is my son.

"Senior brother, you're welcome. I just drank it. "I'm telling the truth. When we met just now, we had already invited all of us to have a cup of medicinal tea. The medicinal tea is hand-picked from the garden of the Dragon and Tiger Cave, and I still have a clear viscera to this day.

"That's for the best. The young man was really not polite, he swallowed the medicinal tea in one gulp, and still sat back on the stone bench to play chess.

The young man was slightly surprised-the situation between Ji Liuli and him was already scattered. I can see that Ji Liuli secretly made a move when he pushed the boy, and overturned Fang Cai's chess board by the way.

Zhiyi frowned, closed his eyes and thought for a breath. The fall is like flying, and the original game steps are all reviewed within three breaths.

Tu Suwan smiled and admired,

"Ji Zhenren, you can't rely on children. ”

Ji Liuli didn't answer her, but instead chatted with Nanaosu enthusiastically.

“...... Brother Su, you have a lot of affairs, why did Yaxing come to Longhu Mountain! Could it be ...... Could it be that I have credited your Manying Association for several years in the imperial capital, and you specially went to Longhu Mountain to ask for my debts in front of many Taoist friends. It's scary. It's scary. Hiding from your eyes and ears, I'm going to get into the nine shadows of Huangquan. ”

Between the words, the white-clothed Xiushi and Ji Liuli seemed to have known each other for a long time. I was originally surprised, but then I looked at Tu Suwan, and then remembered the Rat Immortal Canggong I met in Yunmeng City-it seems that Ji Liuli knows no less than the Seven-Tailed Su.

"The Ji family is a generation of Wenhou of the imperial court. There has been an endless stream of people from inside and outside the world visiting the Wenhou Mansion for hundreds of years - our Kunlun and Longhu sects have established themselves in the treacherous imperial capital, and they have always relied on the Ji family. ”

Pian Pian whispered to me,

"Therefore, Ji Zhenren is also the most well-connected person in Middle-earth of our two sects. The patriarchs of the two sects and other real people have always looked up to and doted on him. ”

I kept the information in my heart.

Ji Liuli looked around, he suddenly grabbed the neck of the crimson clothes and handed it to the seven-tailed Su,

“...... I didn't pay you for this little fox when I bought it as a servant. If you want to collect a debt, use it to pay it first. ”

"Where. I originally went to Jinling with this Kuang Yizhen brother to persuade the Governor of Yuwen to dispel the idea of entering the imperial capital King Qin. It's just that Sui Yuan and Yuan Jiankong went up the mountain with Princess Lin. I didn't expect Brother Ji to be on the mountain - the accounts that Brother Ji said, your clansman Wenhou Ji Xiaoai has already settled all the accounts. ”

Nanaosu smiled and pushed back the crimson clothes that were silent and closed their eyes to be slaughtered to Ji Liuli.

Ji Liuli looked at Kuang Yizhen for a long time, then looked at an unknown mountain peak in the distance, and then turned his gaze back to the scholar in Wuyi,

"You are the ...... of the I Ching of Confucianism. ”

This is the first time I have heard Ji Liuli's tone solemn and respectful.

Kuang Yi really nodded.

Ji Liuli saluted him deeply, "Admiration." ”

"Uncle Ji, Princess Lin and I came to Longhu Mountain together. She first went to the council hall of the Dragon and Tiger Sect to find the head of the Dragon and Tiger Sect to borrow treasures and recruit demons. Now that you can't get in touch, you have a lot of connections, can you find a way to get in touch with her?"

I couldn't bear it anymore, so I finally interrupted their conversation and asked about Princess Ji Liulin's whereabouts. Although she and I are on the same mountain, we are as isolated from each other as the north and the south.

"I already knew. ”

Ji Liuli waved at me impatiently,

"Just now, the little tigress was making a noise in the council hall, which made our Kunlun lose face in front of the dragon and tiger. The first seat of the Elder Council of this sect, Le Jingxin, has suppressed the little tigress in the mirror law realm, waiting for her head father to receive it. Don't do your business. ”

My heart tightened.

"Uncle Shi, where is the council hall of the two sects?"

"After the peak of the Dragon and Tiger Sect Transmission Academy, and then the peak of the Dragon and Tiger Sect Discipline Academy, that's it. He pointed with Tie Ruyi.

"Are the Dragon and Tiger Masters and Le Jingxin Zhenren still in the Council Hall now?"

I'm asking the question.

"Hmm. Why?"

My purple lightning dragon soared, and I rode the dragon to gallop over.
