There was a thick layer of snow on the bluestone slabs in the mountains, and Luo Chen and the old man Qingjian stepped on the snow, and the snow on the slate creaked. As far as the eye can see, the earth is white and vast, and there is no end in sight, which can be described as thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow.

Passing through the stone path between the mountains, a towering cliff suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, the cliff was extremely steep, as if it were a knife, extremely steep. There is a winding plank road on the cliff, just like a giant snake entrenched on it, look along the plank road, there are many stone caves of different sizes on the cliff, the outside of the stone cave is upside down with stalactites, it is just in the cold winter season, the stalactites are full of crystal clear cone-shaped ice. At the end of the plank road is a stone bridge in the sky, which is elevated between the clouds and mist, looming. The stone bridge connects the cliffs on one side and the deep valley on the other.

Luo Chen stood at the bottom of the cliff and looked up, he had never seen such a magical scene in his life, and after some amazement, he asked: "Grandpa, is this Cangming Valley?

The old man Qingjian shook his head slightly, pointed to the stone bridge in the sky and replied, "Walking across that stone bridge, it is Cangming Valley." ”

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Are we going to walk on the road on the cliff? This is too exciting! Cangming Valley is really different, old man, I want to be your apprentice!"

The old man Qingjian smiled and said, "I really want to be my apprentice! Let's go, let's go into the valley!" After the words fell, the old man Qingjian took Luo Chen to the plank road. When passing by the plank road, Luo Chen couldn't help but look down, only to see the heavy snow under the plank road, like a fairyland on earth. Although there is snow all around, the boardwalk is very clean and does not interfere with walking at all. Obviously, someone cleaned it up!

Walking across the plank road, the old man Qingjian took Luo Chen to the stone bridge. The whole stone bridge is about one zhang wide, three zhang long, there are seven steps on both sides of the stone bridge, and there are two stone statues placed on both sides of the steps, the stone statue has wings on its back, its eyes are round and angry, and it wants to take off, which is very terrifying.

Luo Chen followed the old man Qingjian up to the stone bridge and asked, "Old man, what is the stone statue placed on the side of the bridge? It looks so fierce, I've never seen it before!"

The old man of Qingjian paused and said, "That's the beast of the town valley of Cangming Valley, called the Winged Divine Beast, I have one, and Cangjun also has one." They have guarded the Cangming Valley for thousands of years, and they never come out of the valley!"

Luo Chen nodded, and said to himself: "Then they must be very powerful!" Looking at Luo Chen's innocent appearance, the old man Qingjian shook his head with a smile.

Walk across the stone bridge, only to see a long canyon entrenched in front, in the connection between the stone bridge and the canyon stands a stone stele, the stele is clearly engraved with three big characters - Cangming Valley. Luo Chen approached the stele, touched the traces on the stele after being baptized by the years with his hand, and said, "This is Cangming Valley!"

The old man Qingjian walked to Luo Chen's side, stared at the three words "Cangming Valley" and said, "That's right, this is Cangming Valley! Child, this will be your home in the future!"

In the valley, the snowflakes fall slowly, like reed flowers, like catkins, like light goose feathers, floating endlessly, like the beautiful silver butterflies dancing in the valley, and like a group of dancing girls in gauze clothes, with the music from the sky, lightly fluttering in the air, spinning, dancing a moving dance. The Cangta and the Ming Pagoda in the valley are facing each other, towering into the clouds, there is a huge open space in front of the tower respectively, on the open space, there are people practicing swords against the snowflakes, the formation is neat and orderly, and the swordsmanship is exquisite.

Luo Chen followed the old man of the green sword to the open space in front of the tower, and the sword practitioners in white clothes immediately stopped the movements in their hands, and ran towards the old man of the green sword, and when they came to the old man of the green sword, they shouted in unison: "Master, you are back!"

The old man Qingjian waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm back, have you practiced your sword well during this time?"

At this time, a playful little girl came out of the crowd, looked at the old man of Qingjian and replied: "Master, senior brother is strict, during the time you left, he let us practice swordsmanship and sword art every day, and now I can fly!"

The old man of Qingjian suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Han'er knows how to use swordsmanship!"

Luo Chen walked in front of the old man of Qingjian and said, "Grandpa, I also want to fly, I also want to learn the sword technique, you can also teach me!

Before the old man of Qingjian could speak, a dignified man dressed in white and holding a silver sword asked, "Master, who is this?"

The old man Qingjian looked at Luo Chen and replied, "I forgot to introduce to you, this is my little apprentice brought back from the deserted village, his name is Luo Chen." His home and relatives have been destroyed by the Blood Ape, and from now on he will be your junior brother. ”

The man in white continued: "He is from a deserted village, it seems that Cangjun has stolen thunder, and now we are going to be in big trouble in Mingta!"

The old man of Qingjian sighed and said, "Don't worry, the Ming Tower will be fine, and Cangjun won't be able to come back!"

When the old man Qingjian finished speaking, everyone began to talk about it, but the faces of these people showed joy, and it seemed that this news was not bad for them. But some people are happy and some are sad, and the people on the other side of the Cangta are standing in front of the Cangta with a bitter face at this time.

Just when everyone was talking, the playful little girl walked up to Luo Chen and said with a smile: "Your name is Luo Chen, right? My name is Wu Han, and they all call me junior sister here, how old are you this year?"

Luo Chen thought for a moment and replied, "I'm eleven this year, what's wrong?"

When Luo Chen's words fell, the little girl jumped up happily and said, "Great, great, finally someone is younger than me! I heard the master say just now that you are his new apprentice, then you will be a little junior brother in the future, hurry up and call the senior sister!"

Luo Chen didn't know what Wu Han was doing, so he snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to be your little junior brother!"

Wu Han was a little unconvinced, took two steps forward, and continued: "I am older than you, you are the little junior brother!"

The old man of Qingjian smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel anymore!" Luo Chen, among all the senior brothers and sisters, you are indeed the youngest and the latest, you are indeed the little junior brother. However, you are different from all of them, you are a closed disciple of my Qingjian, and since you, my Qingjian will no longer accept apprentices!"

Although Luo Chen didn't know what the closed disciple was, he was still very happy after listening to the words of the old man Qingjian. And for the other Ming Pagoda disciples, this was undoubtedly shocking news.

The man in white who spoke just now looked at the old man with a surprised face, and said, "Master, you are..."

The old man of the green sword interrupted his words with a wave of his hand. Immediately, the old man Qingjian said very firmly: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say much!

Seeing that the old man Qingjian was so resolute, no one in the disciples of the Ming Pagoda said anything more. The man in white just now walked up to Luo Chen and said, "I am the eldest disciple of the Ming Tower, my name is Ji Wuli, you can call me Senior Brother Wuli in the future!"

Ji Wuli finished speaking, and a cold-faced and tall disciple stepped forward and said coldly: "My name is Qi Wujing, and I am the second disciple of the Ming Tower, so you will call me Senior Brother Wujing in the future!"

At this time, a tall and handsome young woman also spoke: "Senior Brother Wujing, don't have a long face, it's not good to scare the little junior brother! My name is Yuan Wuxue, and I am the third disciple of the Ming Tower, so you can call me Senior Sister Wuxue in the future!"

Seeing that they were all introducing themselves, Wu Han immediately rushed over and said, "There is still me, there is still me, I will be your senior sister Han'er in the future!haha..."

Luo Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I won't call you Senior Sister!"

Wu Han grew up in the Ming Pagoda since he was a child, and his senior brothers and sisters are very fond of him on weekdays, how can she stand this anger. She looked at Luo Chen, opened her round eyes, and said angrily: "If you are not convinced, we will compete, if you can beat me, you don't need to call me senior sister, if you can't beat me, you must call senior sister, how about it?"

Luo Chen snorted coldly and said, "Fight, fight, who is afraid of whom!" But he thought about it, if he did it at this time, he would definitely lose. So Luo Chen continued: "No, not now!"

Wu Han smiled proudly and said, "If you're afraid, call Senior Sister if you're afraid!"

Luo Chen shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said: "I'm not a fool, now I'm going to do it with you, where can I beat you!" You have been here since you were a child, and you have learned skills from your master, I just arrived, and I don't know anything, how can I fight you!"

Luo Chen's words amused the disciples of the Ming Pagoda on the side, and Ji Wuli said with a smile: "Little junior sister, what Luo Chen's little junior brother said is not unreasonable, wouldn't it be unfair to him that he would let him fight with you!"

The other disciples also joined in and said, "That's it!"

Wu Han pouted and said, "Then what do you say, I just want to be his senior sister!"

At this time, the old man Qingjian said: "Luo Chen Han'er, you see how this is, I will officially accept Luo Chen as an apprentice tomorrow and hold an apprenticeship ceremony." After three years, Luo Chen has achieved some success, and you will compete again!"

Everyone agreed with the old man Qingjian's statement, but Luo Chen was the only one who objected, and said: "Where do you need three years, one year is enough, and after one year, if I can't win you, I will call you senior sister." If I win against you, I'll be a senior brother!"

Wu Leng smiled coldly and said, "If you give it ten years, you may not win me, let alone one year." That's what you said, and a year later, my senior sister is done!"

In the eyes of everyone, Luo Chen's words are too arrogant, Wu Han has been learning skills in the Ming Pagoda since he was a child, and now he has achieved a little success, and in time, the art of the sword will also be learned, it is not easy to do this at her age! Luo Chen has just arrived, bullshit, and he actually wants to defeat Wu Han in a year, unless he is born with immortal bones, it is absolutely impossible. In the eyes of everyone, the result of the competition in a year is already doomed, but the old man Qingjian is full of expectations for this.
