Waiting for the bright sun to shine on the earth, the three people who took a nap on the top of Wanfeng all felt a burst of warmth on their bodies.

Bathed in the glow of ten thousand rays, Xingyan raised his eyes and looked around, only to feel that the mountains and rivers near and far were bright, and the mountains and forests and trees were dotted with light, as if in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there were countless pairs of kind eyes, and they were smiling gently at themselves.

"Whew~"

In the dark, he felt the gentle smile of all things in heaven and earth towards him, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. In the long howl that stretched his chest just now, the kind of pride that dominates all things, looks down on all eternities, and almost competes with the rising sun and rising sun in the eastern sky, but after the whistle stopped, Xingyan didn't feel much happiness, but felt a little inexplicably panicked.

It's just that although the mountains and rivers are as usual, and the days are the same, this fledgling hall master of the four seas still clearly feels that he at this moment seems to be very different from the previous moment. Sensing this, Xingyan couldn't help but be a little stunned: "This ...... Is the road successful?...... It's so simple, is it that when I was in Raozhou, I got up early one day, found the highest peak near Horseshoe Mountain, climbed to the top of the mountain to see the sunrise, and I could succeed?"

In the mountain breeze at the top of ten thousand mountains, the thought of this strange question made this smart and clever young man distracted for a long time. After waiting for a long time, Xingyan came to his senses and felt that this idea was so absurd just now. In the two or three years that he has been away from home, he has learned more than just powerful spells.

Thinking of this, it was the wind blowing in the face and the glow shining, and the eyes of the young man, who had always been plain and friendly, flashed a little uncommon look.

"Brother~"

Just as he was waking up and coming out of his mind, the little sister next to him shouted: "My brother has been very sad these days, why is he suddenly happy?"

"Qiong Wei!"

Hearing such an unscrupulous child's words, Lingyi hurriedly interrupted. But I didn't think there was anything about it. Putting away the wandering thoughts, Xingyan turned his head to look at the little girl who was looking up at him and waiting for him to answer, and saw that her pink face was being reflected red by the morning glow, like a layer of rouge, Xingyan reached out, scraped it on her nose, and replied to her with a smile: "Qiong Wei, this is because my brother is about to take you to the South China Sea to find Sister Xue Yi; ”

"Oh!"

Qiong Wei didn't seem to understand what she said, but when she heard her brother clearly say that she would take her to find Sister Xue Yi, she smiled and nodded heavily. Speaking of this little Qiongwei, she believes in the most sobering words in her life, and now she hears him say "find Sister Xue Yi" several times, she feels that Sister Xue Yi is really not dead, but she was temporarily taken to a far away place by the bad guys. In this way, as long as you look for it with your heart, one day my sister will return to her. Thinking about it like this, the confused little sister felt that her careful eyes had become much better.

At this time, the four dragon girls standing beside her, looking at the optimistic and firm face of the young man in the glow, suddenly felt that her chest was blocked by a big stone. The beaded lips moved, and Lingyi wanted to say something after the awakening words, but she never said anything. After a moment of silence, Lingyi suddenly burst into tears, choked up and said, "Wake up...... This time, I hurt you and Xue Yi...... It's all my fault!

The apologetic words, uttered with the tears that fell, were intermittent, and they were irrepressibly sad.

"Lingyi, how can you blame this?"

Seeing that Lingyi suddenly couldn't cry, Xingyan sighed and comforted: "This time it is clearly Meng Zhang's thief who deliberately provoked and disregarded human life, no wonder anyone else." Lingyi—"

Xingyan stopped talking, reached out to caress the trembling shoulders of the dragon girl, and said resolutely: "Lingyi, you also saw this time, Meng Zhang is such a character. Such a vicious person, thinking that Xue Yi is in the spirit of the sky, will not want to see you pay for your life by mistake and fall into his hands!"

"Hmmm......"

Hearing what Xingyan said, the dragon girl, who was originally sad and blamed herself, gradually stopped crying. When the crying stopped, the four dragon princesses became angry again. Lingyi was already vicious and hateful, but at this time, his face was even more frosty, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect Meng Zhang, this scum of the water tribe, to be so mad! One day, I will send him to the Dragon Cutting Platform!"

"Good!"

Hearing this, he said quickly: "Then we will rush back to Luofu as soon as possible now, go to the master, and go to the evil dragon for revenge as soon as possible!"

"Hmm!"

Lingyi agreed, and the three of them rose into the air, like a thunderbolt, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

This road was fast, but at the beginning of the afternoon, he rushed to the county town near Luofu Mountain to pass Luo. At this time, it was just after noon, and the sun was shining in the city, and the bluestone slabs in the streets, which had been polished by pedestrians, were shining in the sun. This day was the sixth day that Xingyan and the others left Luofu. When he arrived in Chuanluo County, Xingyan was not in a hurry to return to the mountain, he still had an important thing to do before that. After entering Chuanluo County, it didn't take long for the three of them to come to the county office. When he arrived at the yamen, he saw that the soap-clothed errand on duty was leaning against the shadow of the stone lion and pinching his teeth, so he walked forward, saluted respectfully, and said: "This poor master, please tell Li County Master to pass it on, and say that Zhang Xingyan of the Shangqing Palace came to ask for a meeting!"

"Shangqing Palace?!"

Just as Xingyan was talking with a smiling face, the errand officer on duty in front of him suddenly jumped back as if he had been stung by a scorpion, took a few steps back and calmed down, and then said impatiently: "What's the matter with you? My master is very busy! If there is nothing to do, don't bother a miscellaneous Taoist priest like you!"

Seeing him react like this, and saying so unkindly, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when he remembered the scene he had just seen all the way. However, seeing the resignation of the servant, he couldn't say soberly, so he had to show his other official identity. I saw that he suddenly changed his face, his face was angry, and he shouted sharply: "What an eyeless splash! Didn't your master tell you that there is still a Zhongsan doctor in this Chuanluo County? Hurry up and pass it on to me!"

Before the words fell, he only heard the two sounds of "swish", and Qiong Wei beside him had already shown the two small knives like flowing fire, leaning forward, with an angry face, like a milky tiger, as if he was only waiting for an order to come forward and attack.

"Wow! I'll go!"

Seeing this battle, the official was so frightened that he stumbled all the way, and hurriedly rushed to the lobby to report to the county magistrate.

Gossip less, and when Xingyan and Lingyi Qiongwei saw Master Li of Chuanluo County in the study of the Yamen Houfu, after seeing the ceremony, they sat down separately. After persuading the visitors to make tea, and listening to them explain their intentions, the county lord with a three-handed goatee put the tea cup in his hand on the coffee table on the side, and said with a smile to the young man in front of him: "Yes, Zhang Zhongsan is really clear about current affairs." The Shangqing Palace has been punished by heaven recently, and I don't know what heinous things I have done, so that I was punished by the Dragon Lord of the South China Sea. This matter has been spread among the people, Lord Zhongsan, you are a young talent, naturally cherish feathers, come to the Yan Ya today, to declare to the court to break away from the evil religion of the Qing Palace, that is also very right. ”

It seems that this Li County Master is also a well-informed person, and I don't know where I heard that this young loose official under his jurisdiction has quite a lot of connections in the court, and the power behind it is unfathomable, so he was very polite when he spoke. After figuring out the intentions of the people, this Li County Master patted his chest and promised with flattery: "Don't worry, this little thing is all wrapped up in the lower officials! If you are still worried that someone will gossip and damage the name of the order, then the lower official will volunteer to write a recital to the imperial court, explaining the grievances of the lord - ho, the name of the subordinate recital has been prepared, and it is called 'clear spring from the deep mountains, and the turbid stream will not be stained'." Of course, the official writing is simple, and the final draft must be elegant and upright......"

"Ahem!"

Seeing that this enthusiastic parent official was getting farther and farther away, Xingyan hurriedly interrupted his words and said: "My lord, you have misunderstood! I came this time not to declare to the imperial court that I would leave the Shangqing Palace, on the contrary, I am telling Master Li that I would like to start the imperial court on my behalf. When I have time today, I will explain it to my adults. I hope you can help!"

“......”

At first glance, when he heard the words, the county master Li was stunned for a while, and it took a long time before he came to his senses. Just as Xingyan was about to answer his various questions, he saw that the county lord in front of him suddenly applauded and laughed, and praised him: "Okay, good! Sure enough, he is worthy of being the Zhongsan Lord valued by the imperial court, and this insight is beyond the reach of the lower officials! This time there is such an evil thing in the Shangqing Palace, if you follow the humble opinion of the lower officials, and try your best to clear the resignation, it will inevitably make people suspicious, it is better to resign from the official and temporarily retreat to the mountains and forests, it will just block the mouths of the people in the world, and you can also be the whole lord, you are high-minded—— Oh! Such a far-sighted plan and operation is really difficult for ordinary people to reach! Your future is limitless, unlimited!"

This old county lord Li, who is in his fifties, called the "old man" one by one to the young man who had not yet arrived in his twenties and had not yet been crowned, and he was extremely smooth and did not hesitate.

Seeing that Li Xianye misinterpreted his meaning, he couldn't cry or laugh when he woke up. However, at this time, he felt that there was no need to say much, so he just followed the words of County Master Li and said, "Okay, then it will be troublesome to the county lord." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, no trouble, must serve, must serve!"

Looking at the young man's unfathomable smile, Li Xianye smiled all over his face, bowed and nodded in his seat, and his attitude was extremely respectful. Looking at Li Xianye's respectful attitude, Xingyan thought in his heart: "In this way, in the future, if I hate the South China Sea Dragon Clan, I won't affect the imperial court......"

Skimming the gossip, and when he came out of the Chuanluo County Ya, he finally got rid of a matter of concern, and then went to Luofu Mountain outside the city with Lingyi Qiongwei. Before going out of the city gate, I saw the people on the street, and when I met a pedestrian dressed as a Taoist priest, I scattered and avoided, like avoiding the plague, and I couldn't help but look gloomy when I woke up, and sighed that the world was hot and cold. Seeing such a world situation along the way deepened his resentment against the evil dragon of the South China Sea. At this time, Xingyan has gradually felt that I am afraid that this revenge of Nan is not just his business.

When he returned to Luofu, Xingyan did not go back to the Thousand Bird Cliff where his Sihai Hall was located first, but took Qiong Wei and Lingyi and went straight to Feiyunding, where the head of the house was located.

When he arrived at Feiyunding, he saw that the vast Feiyunding Square had been cleaned, and if it weren't for the new stone bricks that were inconsistent with the surrounding colors, at first glance it would have looked like everything was the same.

At the north end of the square, the leveled Shangqing Temple, now on the original ruins, has erected a new stone temple, the shape is tall and square, the door is strict, like a stone city that is always guarding against foreign enemies. At this time, there are still many people on the four sides of this new Shangqing Temple, and they are busy all the time, constantly carrying stones and cleaning up waste bricks. And in these busy crowds, none of them are dressed as craftsmen, all of them are Shangqing Taoists wearing short placket clothes and stepping on mango shoes.

After walking through a few erect spirit flags, the three of them came to the Shangqing Temple and saw the head of the Shangqing Palace, Venerable Lingxu Zhenren.

When I saw this head of Shangqing again, although he still seemed to be full of energy when he looked like him, the young man with a keen mind already felt that the real person in charge seemed to be ten years old.

After seeing the master, Xingyan made his intentions a little clear, and then saw Lingxu and muttered: "You mean that you want to break away from the Shangqing Gate and go to the South China Sea to find Meng Zhang for revenge?"

"Exactly!"

Xingyan replied in a deep voice: "My lord, no matter what, this disaster in the Shangqing Palace fell from the sky, and there were heavy casualties, and it has nothing to do with me." I wanted to treat my sinful body with this and go to the South China Sea to kill one or two dragons and snakes, so as to atone for this sin. ”

"Oh. ”

Hearing this, Lingxu groaned slightly, and asked quietly: "Xingyan, although you joined me in Shangqingmen, although the time is not long, it can be regarded as a successful practice." Don't you know, the blessing and misfortune are from the sky, life and death have fate, my Taoist asked the immortals, and it was a 'quiet and inaction'. Isn't it against the way of nature that you are taking revenge like this now?"

Hearing the words of the master, Xingyan almost didn't think about it before bowing down and answering: "Please forgive the disciple for being foolish, what happened, I want to follow the way of quiet inaction, I can't." ”

Although he said this calmly, his attitude was very resolute. Hearing this answer, Lingxu was speechless for a long time, and only after a long time did he say: "I know that you want to recapture Miss Kou's body, but how can the South China Sea Dragon God be easy to with, with the strength of the three of you, I'm afraid nothing can be accomplished." ”

Lingxu's voice was flat: "Okay, no matter what, wake up and wait patiently until tomorrow." Come back to this place tomorrow morning, and I will answer you. ”

"Yes!"

Seeing the master's instructions, he didn't say anything more, and after a salute, he took Lingyi Qiongwei out of the door and went to the Thousand Bird Cliff.

Sihaitang, which is located in the Thousand Bird Cliff of Baoxia Peak, in the flying disaster more than ten days ago, although the main house and the sleeve cloud pavilion were all destroyed by the hailstorm, the west side house was miraculously unscathed and still standing in the shade of the bamboo forest. In the six days since Xingyan left Luofu, his fellow disciples have come to clean up the ruins, picked up the bamboo slips from the rubble, and moved them all to the Dharma Hall for temporary safekeeping. At this moment, all the peaks of the Shangqing Palace are full of devastation, the reconstruction project is extremely huge, and the craftsmen under the mountain are unwilling to contribute to the Shangqing Palace, so they cannot spare the strength to rebuild the Sihaitang for the time being.

However, this Thousand Bird Cliff is like their home to the three of them, and now they are saddened to see that half of the houses on the cliff are destroyed, and they are facing the mess all over the ground. Later, Qiong Wei found a few sour fruits crushed by bricks and tiles in the ruins, and recognized that it was the dried apricots that Xue Yi pickled for her a few days ago, when she leaned on the ruins and cried loudly. Seeing that such a thing is human, Xingyan Lingyi couldn't help but feel sad.

When it was nightfall, the Night Ghost King came again and reported to Xingyan, saying that it had searched all over Luofu in the past few days, but had not found Xue Yi's soul at all. It turned out that just before going down the mountain a few days ago, Xingyan asked the ghost king to help him find Xueyi's soul. Now back to Chidori Cliff, after listening to the evening warning, the awakening is even more sad. It seems that under Meng Zhang's thunderous blow with the power of heaven and earth, Xue Yi was already in a state of dissipation, and it was already very miraculous to be able to preserve his body at that time.

This night, the three of them reluctantly lived in the west side room, Lingyi and Qiong Wei in one room, and Xingyan in the other room. Before falling asleep, Lingyi and Qiong Wei came to the Awakening Room to talk to him. It's just that at this time, even Qiong Wei, who usually talks the most, is choked up at this time and can't say anything. In the cold mountain house, the three of them were silent, sad and lonely. When the dry sat down, the night was getting deeper, Lingyi took Qiong Wei back to the house to sleep, and Xingyan also slept on the wooden couch and clothes.

It's just that although lying down, tossing and turning this night, the mountain wind is howling, how many people in Luofu Mountain can sleep?
