Leaving Jianzuka, Jiang Chen returned to the medicine garden alone, and entered the White Emperor City for almost seven years, Jiang Chen immersed himself in penance and practiced Danshu, never quitting all seasons, the disciples in the door did not know much, and he was quiet by nature, and he did not often come and go, so even if he was depressed at the moment, he had nowhere to go, and no one to talk to.
Passing by Ning Dantai, Jiang Chen caught a glimpse of the edge of the high platform, Minghua stood in the wind, the breeze lifted her clothes, the clouds around the high platform were surging, the rui qi was rising, and under the mutual foil, Minghua fluttered like a feather soaring, and on the flawless face, there was a trace of confusion and amazement, Jiang Chen groaned slightly, turned around and walked over.
"Why is Senior Sister Minghua staying here?" Jiang Chen walked to Minghua's side, standing side by side with her, looking at the hazy mountains in the distance in a daze.
The sudden sound in his ears made Minghua's delicate body tremble slightly, shook his head slightly, and did not speak, after a long time, Minghua hugged his shoulders tightly with both hands, as if he felt cold, Jiang Chen looked back at her, from her side, Jiang Chen saw a flawless face, but this face created by Zhong Tiandi did not have the slightest business, let alone the gentle smile of the past, and some were just endless sadness, in a moment, Jiang Chen seemed to be able to read Minghua's heart, they were so similar, so lonely, and there was a fragile heart hidden in the seemingly strong body。
"Senior sister, if you feel cold, go back......"
"Senior Brother Jiang Chen, if there is no wind, will the clouds in the sky stay in one place forever?" Minghua looked at the sky blankly and suddenly asked.
Jiang Chen was stunned, looking up at the sky, the blue sky was like washing, only a piece of white clouds, under the breeze, moving slowly into the distance, Jiang Chen shook his head, and said softly: "Even if there is no wind, the clouds will go away." ”
In Minghua's eyes, there seemed to be a flash of light, and he turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Chen, and asked, "Why is this?"
"Because the clouds don't belong anywhere, they are born without roots, so why do they stop?"
"What if Minghua wants to keep it?" Minghua asked insistently.
Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Each has its own fate, so why force it!"
"Senior Brother Jiang Chen, you said that the clouds don't belong anywhere, but why are they so holy, so different, they always have to attract the attention of countless people, and when everyone is attached to them, they leave cruelly?"
"Jiang Chen doesn't know...... Perhaps, even the clouds themselves do not know. Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
Minghua smiled and said: "In the past, the sky of the White Emperor City was cloudless, Minghua looked at it at a glance, it was all blue, and then I don't know when, there was a cloud in the sky, or the shape was strange, which made people feel very curious, and over time, Minghua only saw the clouds, but could not see the sky. ”
Jiang Chen was silent, and after a while, he said bitterly: "As Senior Sister said, it is only because of the strange shape of the clouds that it arouses the curiosity of Senior Sister. ”
"Wouldn't Senior Brother Jiang Chen smell the traces of geese, even if the clouds are not there, this sky has left traces of clouds after all, even if thousands of years later, Minghua comes here again, looking at the blue sky, he will still think of the white clouds that used to be. ”
Jiang Chen turned around slowly, closed his eyes and said: "Senior sister, why are you so persistent, how beautiful this cloud is, it is just a passing cloud, illusory and invisible, sometimes there must be in life, there is no time in life to force it, if senior sister is willing, turn over this continuous mountain, the sky behind the mountain, there will be more and more beautiful clouds." ”
Minghua's eyes were even more bitter, and he said in a low voice: "In this world, there have been mountains higher than Kunlun Mountain......
Jiang Chen's body stiffened, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he wanted to persuade Minghua, but he didn't want to go around himself, Shenzhou is a vast land, there is indeed no higher mountain than Kunlun Immortal Mountain, because Kunlun Mountain is an immortal mountain.
Back in the medicine garden, Jiang Chen left all his worries behind, cultivated a large number of elixirs, and prepared to refine the pill again, this time Jiang Le's demonic qi suddenly appeared, and he had broken the balance of the immortal demon species, if it was not contained, the consequences would be unimaginable, Jiang Chen would never allow Jiang Le to have an accident.
In the following days, Jiang Chen did not cultivate the White Qi Chaoyuan Qi Refining Dafa, but used Changchun True Qi to ripen the elixir, night and night, it actually allowed him to harvest hundreds of mature elixirs for refining the Ice Heart Pill, and the most bizarre thing was that as he consumed his spiritual power countless times, his cultivation speed actually miraculously broke into the middle stage of the Spirit Immortal.
So weird, so abrupt, Jiang Chen is full of doubts, this is not the first time he has questioned the origin of Huiyang Changchun Gong, he has recalled all the things he has experienced since he was a child, what his father Jiang Yuanshang said, and still has no clue, but after this incident, Jiang Chen can also be regarded as having an understanding of Huiyang Changchun Gong, Huiyang Changchun Gong is not like the general practice of qigong, to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to enhance spiritual power cultivation, but to devour the vitality of all things.
Changchun True Qi contains vitality, which can ripen the elixir, and at the same time, from the elixir, it draws part of the vitality back to Jiang Chen, which is like a complementary exchange, Changchun True Qi has what the elixir needs, and the elixir also has the things that Changchun True Qi needs. In this way, with the cooperation of the two, the result is twice the result with half the effort.
Feeling the pure condensation of the spiritual power in his body and the solid foundation, Jiang Chen's worries in his heart decreased slightly, and he slowly put this matter in the back of his mind, refining hundreds of Ice Heart Pills in the Dan Room before packing up and heading towards the Spirit Sword Pavilion.
Jiang Le's burial sword is entrusted by Qinghan Zhenren, however, the real person in charge of the family remembered the hidden danger of Jiang Le's immortal demon seed, and specially issued a decree that when Jiang Le is eighteen years old, he will go forward again to perform his duties, and now Jiang Le has returned to the Spirit Sword Pavilion.
The moon in the White Emperor City was not as bright as the outside world, hazy, and vague, as if it was because of the thick fog in the mountains, even on the fifteenth day of the month. Walking in the night, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that every time after alchemy, it was night, and I didn't know if Jiang Le was sleeping peacefully at the moment.
In the courtyard of the Lingjian Pavilion, there is a laurel tree, green and tall, like a big umbrella, the whole courtyard is shrouded tightly, such a tall and luxuriant laurel tree, very rare, even the fragrance of flowers is particularly attractive, extraordinarily fragrant, the most strange thing is that this laurel tree blooms month and moon, the fragrance is endless, so in the White Emperor City, there is also the name of "laurel".
It was still far away from the Spirit Sword Pavilion, and there was a cinnamon fragrance in the air, faint, not rich, as if there was a wisp of mist in the distance.
Although the Spirit Sword Pavilion is the important place of the White Emperor City, Jiang Chen has no scruples, the Spirit Sword Elder Qingyun Zhenren has already made it clear that Jiang Chen can enter and exit the Spirit Sword Pavilion at will, after all, the master agrees, and outsiders naturally can't say much.
"Huh?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, Jiang Chen just wanted to raise his feet and step into the Spirit Sword Pavilion, suddenly his skin was cold, and a touch of gloom faintly appeared in his heart, as if in the darkness around him, there was a peerless murderous thing hidden, peeking at him, that kind of undisguised killing intent, coldness and destruction aura, fleeting.
"Who?"
Jiang Chen turned around suddenly, and caught a glimpse of a black shadow, ghostly drifting into the distance, it was on the ground, fluttering like a ghost, and disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Chen's scalp was numb, but he did not hesitate at all, his body flashed with spiritual light, and his spiritual power sprayed, and he also chased after him. In the thick of the night, Jiang Chen's speed was fast, and the vague scene around him quickly swept backwards, and in the blink of an eye, he had come to the Phantom Heart Stone Forest in the back mountain.
The night was deep, the phantom shadows of the strange rocks around him flashed, and the horror was very high, Jiang Chen was in it, and he felt faintly uneasy, but the feeling of peeping did not disappear, but became more and more intense.
A ray of light, lit up from the darkness, very subtle, almost ignored, even if it was Jiang Chen, it was only when the light fell on his body that he noticed it, only to hear the ding, a thin needle pierced Jiang Chen's body, but his body was full of spiritual light, filled with dark gray fairy energy, but it was the Flawless Spirit Body Automatic Protector, helping him block the fatal blow.
"Huh. ”
A light sound sounded, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and when he raised his hand, three sword qi disappeared into the darkness, these three sword qi are the three-element sword qi of the White Emperor City's lower grade swordsmanship, containing sharp and sharp qi, once triggered, it can cut gold and break jade, pierce gold and crack stones, and the power is extraordinary.
The people in the dark never thought that he was so perfectly hidden, killing with one blow, it was a strange failure, a sound of surprise, instantly exposed his hiding place, looking at the incomparably dazzling sword qi in the dark, this person was wrapped in black light, his hands pinched, and with extremely fast momentum, he condensed a light shield and blocked the three sword qi.
"Sword of Annihilation!"
At this moment, Jiang Chen's sword qi erupted all over his body, and the snow bright sword light shone around, revealing a mysterious person dressed in black and with a thin body, this person saw that Jiang Chen was so powerful, and the look of surprise in his eyes flashed.
"Silence and Death!"
A pair of white hands, quickly pinched, and then the black qi outside the human body rolled, this black gas revealed the meaning of destruction, a lonely and barren, destroying everything aura came out, as if turning into some kind of mysterious beast, instantly swallowing the sword qi in the sky.
"Sure enough, as I expected, the world only knows that you are excellent in Dan skills, but they have never known that you also have advanced swordsmanship, but I am very puzzled, the sword cultivation in White Emperor City, there is no sword in your hand, how can you have such power?"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him carefully, just by his figure, he couldn't judge a man or a woman at all, and this person's voice was also disguised, very unfamiliar, it sounded quite neutral, I don't know if it was a man or a woman.
"Who are you?"
"Guess what. The man in black took a moment and chuckled.
"Your Excellency can appear in the White Emperor City, and besides, you are so familiar with the White Emperor City, you must also be a disciple of the White Emperor City. Jiang Chen said tentatively.
The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth curled, and he chuckled, but he didn't speak, revealing a pair of eyes outside, staring at Jiang Chen with interest.
"Tsk, it's really extraordinary, this flawless spirit body that has been lost since ancient times has actually been cultivated for you, no wonder you can block my magic weapon Heart Erosion Needle with your physical body. Tianzong genius, young, has the middle stage of the immortal cultivation, if you are given time, in the future it must be a Qingyun real person, I don't know, since I have bumped into it, I should erase it as soon as possible, in order to prevent future troubles. ”
