Walking out of the Phantom Canyon, Min Xiaorong finally took off the cloth towel, took a long breath of turbidity, and saw the sunshine and grass and trees, she felt very kind, she was in a very happy mood, and suddenly thought: If Taichen was blindfolded at that time, I don't know what I would encounter along the way, Taichen seemed to see the scene he was most afraid of seeing, so nervous, his mind went through great struggle, struggle, and finally passed out. She really didn't understand what she was most afraid of in her heart, although it was painful and torturous, but she still wanted to know, it would be good if the canyon was verified, and looked back at the mysterious phantom canyon, with a look of regret in her eyes, "I really want to break through again." ”

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Taichen was very happy in his heart, he didn't pay attention to the change in Min Xiaorong's expression, they had already passed the three hurdles in their lives, and they would be able to see the Heavenly Sleeve Immortal Gu immediately, as long as she came out, what "black and white Jiangsha" would be no problem, "Rong'er, let's go to Muxian Ridge, right?"

"Well, hey, what do you think this Heavenly Sleeve Fairy Gu looks like?"

"Who knows, no one has ever seen this. ”

"I think she should be an old man with crane hair, fairy wind and bones, long hair and long clothes, gentle and approachable, etc. ”

"This is just the image of the fairy girl in your heart, the appearance in the hearts of many people, the longing for beautiful things, maybe this is not the case in reality. Taichen said.

The two of them held hands and stepped on the Muxian Ridge, this is really a fairyland on earth, a Taoist temple is hidden among the green trees and strange stones, and the three large and two small houses of red bricks and blue tiles stand side by side, and the clouds and mist increase its mystery. A bluestone path leads straight to the front of the door.

The walls are low, the courtyard gate is hidden, and there are many green bamboos planted in the small courtyard, which is quiet and leisurely, and also indicates the owner's leisure and nobility.

Taichen stepped forward and snapped the door knocker: "May I ask if there is anyone inside?" Min Xiaorong and Taichen asked to see the Heavenly Sleeve Immortal. ”

Half-ringing, there was finally the sound of footsteps inside, the courtyard door was opened, and a middle-aged Taoist girl came out, wearing a cyan Taoist robe, her face was calm, and there was no fluctuation between her eyebrows.

They returned the salute and followed her into the living room of the main room, where she motioned for them to sit down in a chair, poured two more cups of hot tea, and then went into the inner room.

Taichen and the two sat down to drink tea, alternating their gazes, they had a strange feeling about this Dao Gu, and they were about to talk, when an old cough came from inside: "Ahem, ahem, which guest is visiting?"

A wheelchair cart turned out of the back door, and the person pushing the cart was the middle-aged Taoist aunt, and then I saw a skinny old Taoist girl sitting in the car, wearing a black robe, gray hair, wrinkled face, shriveled lips, one eye glowing faintly, the other eye seemed to have long lost the ability to see objects, withered fingers held on the handlebars, kept shaking slightly.

She looked at Taichen and the others, a smile appeared on her face, and Taichen and Min Xiaorong hurriedly got up and saluted: "Taichen and Min Xiaorong have seen the Heavenly Sleeve Immortal Gu. ”

The old man waved his hand lightly, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and said, "The two of you came here after all the ups and downs just to see the Heavenly Sleeve Immortal Gu?"

"Exactly, Fairy Gu, we have something to ask for. ”

"You're wrong, you're wrong, it's definitely a folklore, there's no Heavenly Sleeve Fairy Gu here, let me tell you! The Heavenly Sleeve Fairy Gu doesn't exist at all, never has been. ”

Taichen and Min Xiaorong were stunned, looking at her blankly, unable to say a word.

The old man was calm and continued to speak: "My Taoist name is Suchen, this year is eighty and two, from more than ten years old with my teacher Fan came here, and then lived in Muxian Ridge all his life, never went down the mountain, this Taoist aunt behind him is silent, she is a dumb girl, I picked it up in the mountains thirty years ago, except for my master and apprentice, there is no one else on the mountain, outsiders want to go up the mountain, it is indeed not easy, there are three hurdles that can not be passed: ant array, Tianyakou, Phantom Canyon, no one has broken through for decades, you are the first pair of outsiders who have successfully passed the three levels. ”

"Oh, Master Suchen, we—we're sorry to disturb you. Taichen said hurriedly.

"It's okay, because of the three passes, we have never gone down the ridge, which shows that everyone has a fate to meet, you couple will live on the mountain for a few days, the scenery here is very good, you can walk around and see, but there is nothing to entertain, coarse tea and light rice I don't know if the two can adapt?"

Taichen nodded hurriedly: "They all grew up in poor families, as long as they have something to eat, it's already very good." ”

Master Suchen nodded and said: "That's good, if you have something, you can find a silence, tell her, she can understand, and will help you do it, don't speak, arrange a room for them to live in first! ”

Silent and nodded.

After Master Suchen left, the two followed Buyu to the West House in disappointment, and Min Xiaorong said to Buyu: "Master Buyu, can you please prepare two rooms? We are not a couple, thank you!"

nodded with a smile, cleaned up two side rooms in the house, and left after bringing hot water and vegetarian meals.

Min Xiaorong was extremely depressed, and shook her head in disappointment: "It seems that we have run for nothing, it turns out that the folk legend is fake, alas!

"Don't worry, I don't think it's easy in Taoism. Taichen said comfortingly, "Maybe, the water is deep inside?"

"What if it's not simple? Even if Master Suchen is the Heavenly Sleeve Immortal Gu, can she still go down the mountain in this situation? Can she still fight with the black and white double evil method?"

Taechen fell into deep thought.

The night on the mountain ridge was extremely quiet, Min Xiaorong and Taichen sat side by side on a rock, looking at the starry sky, Min Xiaorong said worriedly: "Taichen, this time I was wrong, I shouldn't be so good, this is just a beautiful legend, a legend that does not exist, I was too naïve and casually to believe it, and I almost lost your life." ”

Taichen smiled: "I think it's very good, this experience is very interesting, the most amazing journey to grow so big, and my life is very blessed, I don't die so easily." ”

"You are still laughing, how can you explain to everyone when you go back? If you can't invite the Heavenly Sleeve Immortal Gu, how to eradicate the black and white stiffness, I don't know how many people will die. Min Xiaorong said.

The two were chatting, and suddenly a dark shadow flickered in front of them, and they ran directly to the back mountain. Taichen hurriedly pulled Min Xiaorong up and followed behind the black shadow, both of them were extremely light and fast, and the black shadow man was also fast, but he didn't find the two behind him.

The black shadow swirled around, and disappeared in an instant, Min Xiaorong took out her long sword and shouted: "Who is it?" Come out, why be sneaky. ”

Only the sound of the mountain wind.

Taichen looked around and found that this was the back of the Taoist temple, a small jungle, and he said to Min Xiaorong: "Let's go into the forest to have a look, we must be more careful." ”

"Hmm!"

Taichen also drew his long sword, he walked in front, Min Xiaorong followed behind, slowly moving forward, the woods were pitch black, invisible, Min Xiaorong took out the fire fold, and was stopped by Taichen just when he got up: "Don't point it, the target is too big, after a while, the eyes will be able to adapt, and you can see things." ”

Sure enough, after a while, I felt much better, and I could see some trees and stones around me.

"Did you see the shadow enter the grove?"

Taichen replied softly, "Is there any other place I can go?"

"Who do you think it will be? Is there a third person here?"

"I can't be sure now, let's look for it first, and the specific situation will definitely come to light. ”

They searched all over the woods and found nothing, the grove is very ordinary, there is nothing unusual?

"Taichen, look. ”

Taichen looked in the direction of Min Xiaorong's finger, it turned out that there was a mound not far away, the two approached, the tombstone was engraved with words, but they couldn't see clearly, Min Xiaorong lit the fire, this time Taichen didn't stop her, because he judged that the black shadow should have left here a long time ago!

The tombstone is engraved: Respect the tomb of the teacher, and the disciple is respectful.

"It turned out to be the tomb of Master Fan. ”

"Yes, let's kowtow to her old man!" Min Xiaorong said.

So after the two of them expressed their respect for her, they walked out of the woods, returned to the Taoist temple, just entered the courtyard gate, and saw silent standing in the small courtyard, looking at them, Min Xiaorong hurriedly approached with her hands together, saluted, returned the salute without saying a word, smiled at her, walked to the door of the small courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and returned to the east wing.

Min Xiaorong shook her head in contemplation, and Taichen couldn't help but ask softly, "What's wrong?"

Min Xiaorong pointed to her and Taichen's feet: "You see, because the dew here is early, our shoes will be more or less wet with dewdrops, but?"

"You just was?"

"Yes, her feet are clean, that black shadow is not her, who could it be? ”

"It's the third person, which means there's another person here, so who should he be?" Taichen also fell silent.

Unable to figure it out or think clearly, the two had to go back to their respective rooms silently.

At dawn the next day, Bu Yu sent hot water and washing water early, after the two of them finished tidying up, they came to the restaurant with Bu Yu, and there were four bowls of somen on a square wooden table, and after a while, Bu Su pushed Master Su Chen, Su Chen put his hands together and said, "How did you rest last night?"

"Good, good, quiet, very sweet sleep, thank you master for your hospitality. Taichen hurriedly said.

"That's good," Master Suchen smiled, "Come, have some breakfast, we have poor food here, and this little food is also grown and processed by ourselves." ”

"Yes, I can't figure out where the food and water in the isolated Muxian Ridge come from. ”

Su Chen smiled: "Wait a minute, after dinner, let her take you to see the countryside here, of course, there are actually a lot of fruits, mushrooms, and tender grasses in the mountains." ”

The two nodded with interest.
