In the early morning, the rain finally stopped.

The water droplets on the tree were crystal clear, sliding quietly from the edge of the leaves, falling down, because of the wind, crossing a beautiful arc in the air and hitting Zhang Xiaofan's face.

The cold coldness woke Zhang Xiaofan up from his dream, he opened his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to shout: "Master" But there was no one in the four fields, only Lin Jingyu was lying beside him, and he was in full swing.

It seemed like a dream.

But the broken grass temple in the distance, and the sleeping playmates beside him, all told him that this qiē was true.

He thought for a while, shook his head, walked to Lin Jingyu's side, pushed hard, Lin Jingyu muttered a few words, slowly woke up, rubbed his eyes, and before he could speak, he felt a chill coming, and couldn't help but snort.

When he opened his eyes, he saw himself and Zhang Xiaofan soaking wet, lying under a pine tree in the wild, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Didn't I sleep at home, how did I get here?"

Zhang Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, but I'm very cold, so let's go back quickly." ”

Lin Jingyu had all kinds of questions in his mind, but his body was indeed cold, so he nodded immediately, got up and ran towards the village with Zhang Xiaofan.

Before they arrived at the village, the two of them had already noticed that something was not quite right, usually at this time, the villagers had already gotten up, but today it was very quiet, not even a single figure was seen, and with the morning breeze blowing, there was a faint smell of blood.

They glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and at the same time quickened their pace and ran towards the village. It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the entrance of the village, and they looked in from the road at the entrance of the village, but saw that on the flat land in the middle of the village, there were more than 40 households in Caomiao Village, more than 200 people, large and small, men and women, all lying on the open ground, their bodies stiffened, and they became corpses, blood flowed like rivers, flies flew around, and the smell of blood came to the face.

Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan saw this terrifying scene, and under the fright, they screamed and fainted.

※※※

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaofan woke up in shock, sat up suddenly, gasped for breath, and his hands trembled slightly. When he fell asleep, his mind was full of vicious grimaces, blood and bones, and nightmares.

He settled down, looked around, and saw that it was an ordinary side room, with two small windows, and the furnishings in the room were simple and clean, only a few pine tables and chairs, and there were kettles and cups.

Half of the room is occupied by a large kang connected to each other, with four beds on it. In addition to the one he was lying on now, the bedding next to him was also a little messy, as if he had just been slept on. As for the other two, the quilt is neatly folded and meticulous.

On the wall directly above the four beds, a banner hangs with a large letter:

Road!

It looks like an ordinary guest room in an inn, or a room where several disciples live in the same room.

Zhang Xiaofan sat for a while, and a thought suddenly involuntarily rose in his heart: Maybe last night's qiē was a nightmare, right? Maybe I have been sleeping here all the time? Maybe when he walks out of this room, his mother will scold him with a smile as usual: "You little lazy worm!"

He slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door.

The door is hidden. From the crack in the door, if there is a wind blowing in, it is cool.

He walked step by step, but his two little hands became tighter and tighter. His heart was beating so hard that he held his breath, and soon he walked to the door and put his hand on the door.

At that moment, this wooden door was as heavy as a mountain and as heavy as iron.

He gritted his teeth, and with a ruthless "snort", he opened the door.

The bright light from outside suddenly shone in, causing his eyes to squint. The warm and warm sunlight fell on his body, and there was a faint warmth.

It's just that his heart fell into the ice cellar all of a sudden.

Outside the door is a small courtyard, with a few pines and cypresses, a few bushes of grass and trees, and a few fragrant flowers in the middle, which open happily. In front of the door is a corridor that leads to the outside of the courtyard. Four feet in front of the door, there are several steps that connect the courtyard and the corridor.

At the corner of the stairs, a lonely child sits there with his hands on his cheeks, stunned, motionless.

Perhaps the sound of the door opening had alarmed him, and the boy hesitated for a moment, then turned his head slowly.

Lin Jingyu.

Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth wide, and there were thousands of questions in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned silent.

He wanted to shout again, but his heart was so depressed that he couldn't shout.

Two lines of tears, just like that, silently, slipped down.

The two children, just like that, silently, looked at each other.

In the distance, there is a quiet birdsong, the sky is blue, and there are a few white clouds.

※※※

Zhang Xiaofan sat on the other side of the steps, bowing his head and looking at the stone-paved path in the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, there was silence.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Jingyu said slowly: "I woke up earlier than you, there were still a few people in the house at that time, I asked them, this is Qingyun Mountain Tongtian Peak." ”

Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice: "Qingyun Mountain"

Lin Jingyu said: "Listen to them, it's a few disciples of the Qingyun Sect who are passing by, and they see the village, the village" Speaking of this, his voice couldn't help but choke.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, stretched out his breath, and continued, "Then they found the two of us at the back of the village and took us up the mountain. ”

The corners of Zhang Xiaofan's mouth moved, but he didn't raise his head, and said, "What will we do in the future, Jing Yu?"

Lin Jingyu shook his head and said sadly: "I don't know." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was about to say more, when he suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice in the corridor behind him: "Ah, have you all woken up?"

The two of them looked behind at the same time, and saw a young Taoist priest standing there, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, quite heroic. I saw him walk over quickly and said, "It just so happens that several masters also want to meet you and ask you some questions." Come with me. ”

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu glanced at each other, stood up, and Lin Jingyu said, "Yes, please ask this big brother to lead us." ”

The young Taoist priest glanced at Lin Jingyu, nodded, and said, "You come with me." ”

Following the Taoist priest, the two walked out of this courtyard, and what appeared in front of them was a longer and larger circular corridor, with a red pillar every two zhang on the edge. In the middle of every two columns, there is also an arch.

They walked forward along the corridor, passing through arches and pillars, only to find that in each arch, there was a small courtyard that was almost the same as just now, and it seemed that this was the living place of the disciples of Qingyunmen.

Not to mention anything else, from this scale alone, there are no less than 100 such small courtyards, which shows that there are many Qingyun disciples.

After walking for a while, I saw that at the end of this corridor, there was a towering white wall, and there was a large door under it, and two thick wooden door panels, ten feet high, almost looked up, and I don't know how I found such a huge amount of wood in the first place.

The young Taoist priest turned a blind eye, probably going in and out of the room, and he was numb to see it, and his face was not as moved as that of the two children, his face was expressionless, and he walked straight out of the door. Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu hurriedly followed.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, the two children held their breath at the same time, staring at them in disbelief.

Here, it is almost a legendary fairyland.

A very huge square, the ground is paved with white marble, the light is shining, at a glance, it makes people feel small. The white clouds in the distance, like light yarns, are floating under their feet. In the square, a copper giant tripod is placed every dozens of zhang, divided into three rows, three in each row, a total of nine, and placed in a regular manner. From time to time, there is a light smoke floating in Dingzhong, and its smell is clear but not dispersed.

"Go here. As if to understand the thoughts of the two children, the young Taoist priest showed a smile on his face, and let them look at it for a while before waking up the two and continuing to walk forward.

"This is the 'sea of clouds' in the six views of Qingyun, and there is even better ahead!" said the young Taoist priest as he walked.

Lin Jingyu couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

The young Taoist priest pointed his hand and said, "Hongqiao." ”

The two of them looked far away, and saw that in the distance ahead, at the end of the square, behind the misty clouds, something seemed to shine, and they quickened their pace and walked forward.

Gradually, there was the sound of water, and occasionally there were one or two strange sounds like thunder, which came from nowhere.

As they got closer and closer, the clouds gently surrounded them like gentle fairies, gradually pulling back the faint veil to reveal a clear face.

At the end of the square, a stone bridge, without seats and piers, rises horizontally, one end is set up in the square, stretches straight upward, into the depths of the white clouds, such as a dragon leaping into the sky, the momentum is arrogant. There is a thin sound of water, under the sun, the whole bridge exudes colorful faces, such as a rainbow in the sky, falling into the world, gorgeous and colorful, beautiful and beautiful.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were dumbfounded.

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "Come with me." So saying, he walked up to the stone bridge first.

Stepping on the stone bridge, the two realized that there was a continuous flow of water on both sides of the bridge, which was extremely clear, but the middle part did not stick to the water. The sun shines through the clouds on the bridge, and the water flows into a brilliant rainbow.

The Taoist priest looked at them in a daze, and said, "Be careful, there is a bottomless abyss under this bridge, and if you accidentally fall down, you will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were both startled, and hurriedly calmed down and walked carefully.

This Hongqiao is extremely high and long, and the three of them walked on it, only to feel that the white clouds on the left and right gradually sank to their feet, and they wanted to go higher and higher. And the strange voice in front of him still kept coming.

After walking for a while, the white clouds gradually thinned, and they actually walked out of the sea of clouds, and the eyes of Huo Ran lit up, only to see the sky like a wash, and the blue was as transparent. The sky is boundless on all sides, and there is a vast sea of clouds below, gently floating and sinking, and at a glance, the heart is suddenly wide.

And in front of it, it is the main hall of Qingyun Temple on the summit of Tongtian Peak, where the "Yuqing Palace" is located.

The green mountains contain green, the palace is majestic, "Yuqing Palace" is located on the top of the peak, the clouds are surrounded, there are a few cranes from time to time, the long song flies by, the air hovers and does not go, such as the spiritual realm of the fairy family, it makes people admire.

At this time, the rainbow bridge no longer rises, makes an arch in the air, and falls on the edge of a turquoise waterhole in front of the palace. At the same time, there was a faint Taoist song in the Yuqing Palace, and there was a momentum of the immortal family. And that strange sound, it's getting louder and louder.

The three of them walked down the Hongqiao and came to the edge of the pool, a spacious stone staircase, which led straight up from the edge of the pool to the gate of the Yuqing Palace. The water in the pond is turquoise, the tranquility is like a mirror, and the shadows of people and mountains are clearly visible.

They were walking up the stone steps and were about to walk towards the gate above, when they heard a roar from the depths of the waterhole, like thunder, which was the same strange sound as before. As far as the eye could see, a huge whirlpool suddenly rose in the center of the waterhole, and a moment later, a huge figure jumped out of the huge waves, and the water splashed in the sky.

The young Taoist priest seemed to have taken precautions, and with a pull of his left hand, his body floated up in the air, and he floated back more than two feet away, stopping in mid-air. And where can the two children escape, and they are drenched in soup when they land.

However, the two of them did not notice their situation at all, and only stared blankly at a behemoth that appeared in front of them, more than five feet tall, with a dragon head and a lion body, covered in scales and armor, huge eyes and a big mouth, two sharp fangs shining in the sun, and a hideous face, looking at it fearfully.

The monster shook its body, and there was another splash of water in the hula, and then, as if it had found something, it stretched its giant head up the steps.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu saw that the monster's head was much bigger than the two of them, and under the sun, the sharp teeth were clearly visible, watching it get closer and closer, they were really scared in their hearts, and they couldn't help but cling to each other, and their hearts were pounding.

At this time, the young Taoist priest floated back at some point, put one palm on his chest, and said respectfully: "Lingzun, they were specially summoned by your masters. ”

The monster glared at him, snorted, and rolled its eyes in a pair of big eyes, as if it were using its brain. Then he ignored the three men, staggered to the side, lay down on the dry ground by the waterhole, yawned, lazily lay his head down, basked in the sun, and fell asleep.

The young Taoist priest motioned for the frightened two to continue walking, and said, "Lingzun is an ancient beast that I sent Patriarch Aoba to subdue thousands of years ago, and it is called 'Water Qilin'. Back then, the Qingye Patriarch was glorious and conquered demons and demons, and it made great efforts. Now it is the Zhenshan spirit animal of our Qingyunmen, and it is called 'Lingzun'. ”

After speaking, he saluted the water unicorn again, Zhang Xiaofan was looking at it, but he was pulled by Lin Jingyu, and when he saw him making a look, he also respectfully saluted the water unicorn. It's just that the water unicorn doesn't turn its head back, and it doesn't move, but it snores loudly, I'm afraid I can't see it.

After the three of them finished saluting, they continued on their way. Walking through the high stone steps, you will see the golden sè plaque in the distance, with the words "Yuqing Palace" written on it. Before coming to the majestic hall, I saw that the door was wide open, and the light inside was sufficient, and the three Qing gods of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun were enshrined, and the bearing was solemn.

And before the god seat, above the main hall, there are dozens of people standing, both Taoist and vulgar, and it seems that they are all under the Qingyun Sect. In front of the crowd, there were seven large sandalwood chairs, three on the left and three on the left, and one in the front of the center, but there were only six people sitting on it, and only the last chair in the right row was empty.
