Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Hearts of All Walks of Life
The thick fog dissipated, the afterglow of the bright moon sprinkled all over the world and the fairyland, the wind blew, not as strong as before, but there was a sense of softness, Li Chengxiao and Mo Jingkong were still standing on the boulder on the edge of the cliff, as if they had never moved.
It's been a long time since anyone spoke, and Tianying Mountain was quiet, at least on the surface, it seemed as quiet as ever, and no one knew how many shadows lurked in the depths secretly.
I don't know how long it took, but it was finally Li Chengxiao who took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Although there are some difficulties in this situation at the moment, it is not insoluble, the younger generations have grown up, and you and I don't have to worry about the foundation of Chitaki shaking." ”
Mo Jingkong nodded and said, "The nephew of the master is now able to stand alone, even if he succeeds to the position of head of the sect. ”
Li Chengxiao pursed his lips, glanced at his junior brother, and said: "Aren't your three apprentices mediocre, and the eldest apprentice Gu Liufeng and my apprentice are no different, I'm afraid that in a few years, it is not impossible that Wuxiang Peak will become the strongest vein of Qianlong Mansion." ”
The corners of Mo Jingkong's mouth moved slightly, as if he was a little satisfied, but he quickly returned to normal, and said lightly: "I am most proud of these three apprentices, they really did not disappoint me, although I have not been in Qianlong all these years, they have not missed the cultivation." ”
Li Chengxiao's expression changed, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he asked meaningfully: "I heard that Senior Gu and nephew have helped you accept two good apprentices, a man and a woman, which can be described as a talented woman." ”
Mo Jingkong looked at Li Chengxiao with a little surprise, and said, "It seems that Senior Brother has been paying attention to the changes of Wuxiang Peak all these years." ”
Li Chengxiao smiled indifferently and said, "Qianlong is a great sect of immortal cultivators, and he will always hear some leaked news, but I heard that the identities of your two new apprentices are not ordinary." ”
Mo Jingkong's pupils shrank slightly, but his expression still did not change, and he said, "Oh, senior brother, tell me, what is unusual about them." ”
Li Chengxiao looked at the mountains in the distance, his eyes were unfathomable, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "That female doll is the descendant of the Yun clan in Zhongyun Valley, as for that young man, I don't need to say more, junior brother." ”
Li Chengxiao looked directly at Mo Jingkong, as if waiting for his response, on the other hand, Mo Jingkong still looked indifferently at the distant Wuxiang Peak, a pair of eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the space and look at the extremely distant place, but he never spoke.
"Ugh..."
Li Chengxiao sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, everything is fate, but your temperament has really changed a lot over the years, and it seems that the little junior brother I know is not alone." ”
Mo was shocked and said: "People will always change, after the vicissitudes of the world, who can be like that young man back then, fresh clothes and angry horses, fearless?"
Li Chengxiao nodded and said, "Qianlong's matter will be left to them to solve by themselves, it can be regarded as an experience." ”
After being silent for a while, Li Chengxiao asked softly, "Are you leaving?"
Mo was shocked and lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "Senior brother, let's go first, I'll wait later." ”
The night wind howled again, and only a lonely figure stood on the edge of the cliff looking at this 10,000-year-old fairyland.
※※※
The night seemed to be extremely long, as if it had not been so long in several years.
Behind the Phaseless Peak, in a corner on the second floor of the gilded attic, King's Landing leaned on a chair by the windowsill, dangling a wine jug in his hand, a faint smell of wine spread from the corner, through the open window, King's Landing looked at the mottled night outside the window, his eyes were a little confused.
This is still like the unsmiling King's Landing, people always have times of fragility and sadness, even if the heart of a rock is inevitably exposed in the dead of night, it is inevitable that his vulnerable side will be revealed in the dead of night, as strong as King's Landing, he has always been cold, drinking strong wine at the moment, not knowing what to think.
How many people are awake in the long night, and how many are really asleep? Can the shadows hidden in the depths of darkness see the light?
The next day, when the first rays of the morning sun fell on the earth, everything awoke, and all the gloom of last night dissipated, and the shadows left in the dark night disappeared.
The Qianlong Mansion on Tianying Mountain continued its operation as before, everything was going on as usual, except for the purple gold coffin that had been silent in the Rainbow Palace, which was covered with a layer of gray color, the rest of the things seemed to have not changed from before.
The Demon Sect did not take the opportunity to invade, the other four major sects did not fall into the ground, and even Chitaki was very harmonious internally, and did not fight or compete for fame and fortune because of the leaderless dragons, but it seemed that because of the death of Taiyuan Zhenren, they became more united.
There is another reason, that is, the rules of the ancestors, after the death of the immortals of the previous generations, the immortal body must be put into the purple coffin and placed in the Rainbow Hall for eighty-one days, in order to absorb the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon, for the purpose of praying for blessings, it may also be because of the fear of angering the ancestors of the undead, Chitaki has been quiet as usual, without a trace of disharmony.
On this day, King's Landing, who had not been traced, came to the Rainbow Hall, and the disciples of the guards were also a little surprised, did this senior brother of the Qianlong Mansion finally come to see his master. In the main hall, incense was still burning on the incense table, and after the king landed on the incense salute, he muttered a few words in a low voice, and then left here, and disappeared again.
Not long after King's Landing left, the Iron Condensation Vein Head also came to the Rainbow Palace, stopped for a long time, glared at the tiger, and asked a guard disciple beside him, "Has King's Landing ever been here?"
I don't know how many times he asked such a question, but the answer was the same every time, he had never come, but the answer he got this time made Tie Ning a little stunned.
"Uncle Hui, Senior Brother Jun came early in the morning to worship the real person of the Zhangjiao, and it didn't take long for him to leave. The guard disciple said respectfully.
The iron condensation surface did not change color, but a flash of light flashed in his eyes, nodded slowly, and then strode into the Rainbow Palace.
It may be that the weather is good today, and the auspicious signs burst out, and people have come to worship the Taiyuan Sect in this Tianhong Hall one after another.
The Traceless Dao Chief is the most low-key vein in the Qianlong Mansion, even if something like the Ice Heart Mandala happens, he doesn't have much of a ripple, as if everything can't cause the slightest fluctuation in front of him.
This time, he walked into the Rainbow Hall without saying a word, and the guard disciples seemed to be accustomed to this calm vein, and respectfully watched him enter the hall.
The traceless Taoist gently shook off the dust, lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense case, after saluting, he didn't want to leave, his eyes were calm, he quietly looked at the purple gold giant coffin, the dust was on his arm, although there was no wind, he slowly moved.
"Sect Leader, what you explained, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Traceless must be there!" A deep voice came out of the mouth of the Traceless Dao Chief, no one knew what he was talking about, and I am afraid that only he and the deceased Taiyuan Sect Leader were familiar with the inside story. The Traceless Dao Master took out a purple gold ring from his bosom, looked at it deeply, and then placed it on top of the incense table.
Gu Liufeng stood behind a stone pillar on the edge of the yaotai, the stone pillar obscured his figure, which happened to allow him to observe the situation at the entrance of the Rainbow Palace, when he saw the Traceless Dao Master coming out of the hall, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, but the next person came, but he couldn't calm down anymore.
It was a person I hadn't seen for many years, his name was Huo Tinghao, a disciple of Sun Moon Peak.
