Hu Lu still gets up early every day to do morning classes, Ming Ruoli also uncharacteristically obeys the rules, and actually has a little politeness to her, Hua Qiao and Bai Mengshan, the two little guys don't know what they are thinking about all day long, everything is on the right track, because the night ceremony is imminent, the disciples are all working harder than before, which makes Hu Lu can't help but worry, hurriedly eat breakfast and go to the ice lotus in the library building to absorb the qi, although the effect is very little, but she always does not fall to sit for three or four hours a day, and in the afternoon she secretly went to the back mountain and Chongyu to learn swordsmanship, and is always exhausted at the end of the day。

"Hu Lu, what are you thinking?" Chongyu couldn't find Hu Lu, and went around the Seven Peaks for a long time, only to find that Hu Lu was alone in a daze on the Scattered Soul Field, at this time the sun was about to sink in the west, and the afterglow sprinkled on the Scattered Soul Valley, plating it with a layer of golden yellow.

Hu Lu turned his head, wrapped his hands around his feet, put his chin on his hands, and said stupidly: "Tomorrow is the night festival, I always have a bad premonition." ”

Chongyu sat down with Hu Lu and looked at the sunset on the horizon, just like a drama, you never know what will happen until the curtain ends.

"It's okay, I'm here. Chongyu smiled and said to Hu Lu, Hu Lu looked at Chongyu and cast a reassuring smile.

"Chongyu, why are you so good to me, is it because I'm like the old man you knew before?" Hu Lu asked casually, but she was seriously looking forward to his answer, she didn't want to be a substitute for anyone.

Chongyu snorted, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "At first, I did look for her shadow in you, but these days, I found that you are not her at all, she is mature and steady, and she does not smile, how can she be as innocent as you, you are you, not anyone's stand-in." Chongyu's gentle voice came into Hu Lu's ears, a few simple words, and the helplessness and bitterness in it can only be understood by the person concerned.

The two of them didn't say anything, and slowly sat quietly and waited for the sunset to fall, and the remnant sun was like blood floating on the earth, falling one after another.

Back in the room, Hu Lu felt more and more restless, and gently picked up the Ice Spirit Sword next to the bed, the silver scabbard shone slightly in the light, Hu Lu stroked the sword body inch by inch, "Ice Spirit Sword, Ice Spirit Sword, tomorrow will be safe, right?" Hu Lu picked up the Ice Spirit Sword and rubbed it on his face, the ice was cold and cold, but it had a calming effect.

Hu Lu, who couldn't sleep, tossed and turned on the bed, simply pulled up his clothes and pushed the door open, the moon and its roundness, shining brightly outside, Hu Lu gently covered the door, put on a dress, and looked at the Jiuhua Hall under the mountain in a daze.

"Still not sleeping so late?" a faint voice came from behind him, like fairy music.

"Xianshang~" Hu Lu bent slightly like Luo Qiyu, and Luo Qiyu raised his hand to signal that there was no need to be polite.

Luo Qiyu walked unhurriedly towards Hu Lu, and looked down from Hu Lu's angle, his eyes were deep, "What's the matter, are you worried about tomorrow's ceremony?"

Hu Lu didn't speak, lowered his head, and looked uneasy.

Luo Qiyu wasn't worried about this apprentice at all, "Lu'er, what did you want to stay in Jiuhua in the first place?"

"Huh?" Luo Qiyu's question made Hu Lu stunned slightly, for what? Hu Lu suddenly couldn't think of what he was for, and he couldn't answer a word after thinking about it.

Seeing this, Luo Qiyu smiled slightly, "This is the biggest difference between the previous you and the current you, you used to have a pure heart, so you knew what you wanted, but now that you have been in contact with too many people, it is easy to forget your own heart, and you just want to live in the eyes of others." ”

Hu Lu nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Tomorrow's festival is just a competition between disciples, and it's not a big deal, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go. Luo Qiyu suddenly turned around and looked straight at Hu Lu.

"No, I'm going. At this time, Hu Lu's eyes were more resolute than any moment, and she would rather fall to the ground with dignity than be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Luo Qiyu nodded appreciatively, "Since that's the case, let's rest early, and do our best tomorrow." ”

Hu Lu nodded, she knew that Luo Qiyu never cared about this, but she would never embarrass him, after Luo Qiyu walked away, Hu Lu stood outside alone for a long time, "Brother Yuan, you must come back quickly." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Hu Lu combed up his inky hair, tied a bun and looked extremely energetic, and sorted out the disciple's robe back and forth countless times, for fear of missing something, it stands to reason that the disciple should arrive at the Jiuhua Hall before the master, and wanted to ask Luo Qiyu to ask for peace, but found that Luo Qiyu was no longer in the Seven Peaks, so he had to go to the Jiuhua Hall alone towards Xianqiao.

The night festival is an annual event in Jiuhua, aiming to pray for the blessings of the six worlds, the world is peaceful, the four seas are prosperous, Jiuhua's bells and drums rang seventy-nine times, spread throughout the four seas and eight weeks.

Suddenly, the white clothes flew slowly, the wind blew his clothes, brought up his long hair, floating casually like a feather, the surroundings were quiet all of a sudden, for fear of disturbing this independent person, the magnificent mountains of Jiuhua are just a foil at the moment, everyone's eyes are attracted by this white clothes, and he lost his mind, he is the most elegant and indifferent person in the world, like a faint white smoke rising in the incense burner, you can see but can't touch it, nothing can keep him, but the elegant fragrance is spread all over the world; he is the most noble and majestic person in the world, even if the emperor of the world sees him, he will have the urge to kneel; he is the most thorough person in the world; he is the most thorough person in the world, as if everything in the world is disturbed, but it is just a smoke and a cloud when you turn around, and it is just a mediocrity disturbing yourself.

It is such a man, who has been in charge of Jiuhua for hundreds of years without a trace of mistakes, outsiders are full of praise for him, and in the eyes of the demons, he is also a perfect person without flaws, legend has it that for hundreds of years, the demon world has done almost everything to shake Luo Qiyu's heart, and even used beauty tricks, all of which were cracked by Luo Qiyu one by one, at that time in Jiuhua, the first beauty in the demon world - the pluto came to lure Luo Qiyu, and was translated into countless versions and praised to this day, these are all later words.

At this moment, Luo Qiyu has stepped into the hall of Jiuhua, and the other two masters also followed, complicated procedures, only to see Luo Qiyu burned three pillars of incense in front of the tablet of heaven and earth, and gently knelt in front, and the other two masters also knelt on both sides, with serious expressions, at this time, all the disciples of Jiuhua gathered here, and there were crowds of people outside the Jiuhua hall, but they were silent.

The ceremony went on for a long time, Hu Lu clenched his fists tightly, his heart was pounding, and at this moment Ming Ruoli was sitting not far from her, looking at the hall with a high spirit, and Liu Chang next to him was also sitting upright, looking calm.

Seeing that the ceremony was about to end, the competition between the disciples was about to begin, and the venue of the competition was set in the open space on the left side of the Jiuhua Hall.
