In the early morning of the next day, Su Mu received a senior disciple uniform from the people of Xianze Palace, asking him to meet the head of the sect immediately. Su Mu got dressed and went to the main hall of the head of the house, but was stopped by someone, so he wandered in front of the main hall for a while, and was wondering what the head of the house was looking for him for, when he saw Zhou Yao and Zhou Yizheng coming out of the main hall, they were also wearing senior disciple clothes, they saw Su Mu, and stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Su Mu for being promoted to senior disciple, and we can practice together again in the future." ”

Su Mu didn't really care about the level of disciples, he just wanted to know what the head was looking for him, so he asked, "What does the head have to find me?"

Zhou Yi said: "Senior brother, don't be nervous, the sword elder is also inside, you will know when you go in." ”

Hearing that Ling Huayin was also there, Su Mu put his mind at ease, entered the main hall, and saw that the head of the house, Shan Liqun, and Ling Huayin were talking inside, and he didn't know what Ling Huayin said, so Shan Liqun replied: "Okay, since you insist on this, then follow your wishes." ”

"Disciple Su Mu has seen the master, master. Su Mu stepped forward to greet him.

"You came just in time, I am discussing with your master, you just came to Xianze Palace, although you have passed the sect trial and made great contributions to suppressing the demons, but the disciples still have objections to your promotion to a senior disciple when you first arrived, so this seat has decided to give you an additional assessment, are you willing to accept it?" Shan Liqun asked.

Su Mu glanced at Ling Huayin, and saw that Ling Huayin didn't say anything, so he said, "The disciple is willing to accept the assessment." ”

Shan Liqun nodded, "Okay, but this assessment is a bit special, and you need to go with your master." There is a thousand-year-old snow sculpture on the summit of Zhonghuang Mountain, which is the head of the eagles, if you can find it and let it bring you back, then this assessment will be considered passed. ”

Su Mu thought to himself: Isn't it just to climb to the top of the mountain to find a big bird, what's so difficult about this? Although he thought so in his heart, Su Mu happily agreed: "Then master, when will we leave?"

"Now is it. ”

When Su Mu heard this, his heart blossomed, anyway, there is no fun in staying in Xianze Palace, he is annoyed and bored, and he is suffocated, this time he can finally take this opportunity to leave the mountain gate with Ling Huayin, he must take advantage of this golden opportunity, just stay outside for most of the day, and come back later.

Ling Huayin saw that Su Muqi didn't know what to do there, so she called him: "Su Mu, let's go." ”

"Eh!" Su Mu hurriedly followed.

Su Mu followed Ling Huayin out of the back mountain to the Zhonghuang Mountain Mountain Road, and looked up to see that there was a small path for only one person on the high platform in front of him, winding up, leading to the top of the clouds and mist, and the white and vast did not see what the top of the mountain looked like. The high platform is steep, and looking down at the bottomless cliff, people dare not take a step forward, for fear that they will fall down if they are not careful. Su Mu thought that Xianze Palace was already on the mountain, and the mountain on the mountain was not very high, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Master, are we going to go up the mountain road, why don't we just fly up?"

"Asking for immortals is about sincerity, if they are all as opportunistic as you, then wouldn't everyone be able to cultivate immortals?" Ling Huayin said Su Mutun was ashamed.

"What the master said is that the futile knows his mistakes. ”

At this time, Ling Huayin said: "Actually, I walked from the mountain road because I couldn't fly up at all, and there were often storms and avalanches on the mountain, so it was safer to walk." ”

"Uh......" Su Mu had a black line on his face: Isn't the master teasing him?

"Or do you want to try?" Ling Huayin said back.

Su Mu waved his hand again and again, "No, no, master, when did you like to joke with apprentices, how the master goes, how I go." ”

Anyway, it's always right to follow Ling Huayin, at least you can avoid a lot of detours. That being said, Su Mu followed Ling Huayin all the way up the mountain, that is, he had been walking around the mountain, circling the mountain again and again, the road under his feet was getting narrower and narrower, and some places had collapsed, and he had to turn sideways to pass, and the higher he went, the stronger the wind blew in the valley, and the snow gradually thickened, and from time to time you could see the snow falling from the mountain. The cliffs on all sides are bare, the more you go up, the more steep it is, the space that can fly in the valley is very narrow, as Ling Huayin said, if you want to fly up, you will either be blown away by the wind or killed by the snow.

I don't know how long I walked, Su Mu could already faintly hear the call of the big eagle, and thought that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, but Ling Huayin said: "This place is still some distance from the top of the mountain." ”

Su Mu was so tired that his feet seemed to be filled with lead, but when he saw Ling Huayin as if she was fine, walking like flying, and she didn't breathe, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Master used to climb mountains often, as if he wouldn't be tired at all. If I am tired, the master must laugh at me. So he stubbornly continued walking.

Seeing that Su Mu was getting more and more behind, Ling Huayin stopped and asked, "Xiao Mu is tired, right?"

Su Mu was embarrassed to admit that he was tired, so he said recklessly: "The master is not tired, how dare the apprentice shout that he is tired." But he muttered in his heart: This Zhonghuang Mountain Road is really not something that people can climb, and he must not talk big in the future.

Ling Huayin saw that Su Mu was sweating profusely, and didn't say anything, just stood there still.

Su Mu walked up to her and wondered, "Master, why don't you leave?"

"Let's take a break here, we're not in a hurry to go back anyway. ”

Su Mu did think so before he came, and finally came out for a trip, but he didn't want to go back with Ling Huayin so quickly, but it was too cold here, although he was sweating profusely, but the wind in the valley was blowing, and his bones were like being frozen, if he didn't move his muscles and bones, Su Mu felt that he would probably be frozen into a stone. Along the way, I didn't find a cave where I could shelter from the wind.

Ling Huayin saw that Su Mu was only wearing a thin disciple's uniform, and said: "It's all because the teacher didn't think about it, it's cold on the mountain, I forgot that you are a mortal body, and you can't stand such a cold." With that, he cast a little spell on Su Mu.

After a while, Su Mu felt less cold, and his body gradually warmed up.

Su Mu smiled and said, "Master, what kind of cold spell is this, it's so magical?"

"I'll teach you when I go back to Xianze Palace. You're rested, and we'll go again. ”

Su Mu sat down on the ground and asked curiously, "Master, why don't you get tired after walking for so long, don't you also have any spells?"

Ling Huayin shook her head, "If you cultivate to an immortal body, you won't feel too tired." ”

Su Muxin said: There are so many benefits of cultivating immortals, and I don't know when I will be able to cultivate into immortals. But I didn't dare to say this in front of Ling Huayin, for fear that she would say that she was not determined enough and was eager for quick success.

"I used to think that there was nothing good about cultivating immortals, didn't you live a little longer than others, but later I found out that it was not bad to be an immortal. Su Mu sat on the snow, leaned back with his hands propped up, and said to the snowy mountains.

Ling Huayin was quite touched and asked, "What do you think is good?"

"You can enjoy the mountains and rivers, come and go freely, see the scenery you haven't seen before, and then meet someone who wants to accompany you for a lifetime, and live this life freely. ”

"Before, that's what I thought. Ling Huayin smiled slightly, "But later, it backfired." I envy you, and you have so many beautiful hopes. ”

Su Mu turned his head to look at Ling Huayin and said with a smile: "But master, now I have changed my mind again." ”

Ling Huayin couldn't help but look at Su Mu suspiciously, and saw a clear and dazzling smile on Su Mu's face, and the light in his eyes shone brightly. I only heard Su Mu say: "No matter how magnificent the mountains and rivers are, I will get tired of seeing too much, now that I have a master, if the master lets me never leave Zhonghuang Mountain for the rest of my life, I am also willing." Where the master is, I will be there. ”

Ling Huayin couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this. The mountains are cold and lonely, only Su Mu's words are like the twilight in the snow valley, sprinkled warmly in my heart.

"Let's go, it's time to get up. Ling Huayin said slowly.

Su Mu looked back and saw that there were already clouds and mist below, and he couldn't see the way he came, and they were in a sea of clouds. Su Mu, who had rested enough, became playful, picked up a stone and threw it down the mountain, and the stone was submerged in the clouds and mist, and he couldn't hear any sound at all. simply shouted into the mountain again, and there was an echo in the valley immediately, who expected that this mountain-shaking roar made Ling Huayin suddenly lose her face. Su Mu only heard the rumbling sound of the mountain, the entire mountain shook, and the snow on his head kept falling.

Ling Huayin shouted with a headache: "You stupid boy, what are you shouting!" After speaking, she pulled Su Mu and ran up the mountain road.

Su Mu was not flustered at all, he felt like he had a heart, he grabbed Ling Huayin's hand, and immediately rushed to Ling Huayin, and ran away with her in the valley.

"I really shouldn't have taken you out, you, you're really crazy!" Ling Huayin seemed to be frightened, but seeing that Su Muhaha was laughing and having fun, Ling Huayin simply let him make trouble.

If anyone passes by this place, they will definitely see such a scene: a young man holding the hand of a young Taoist aunt, is staging a wonderful scene of life and death with an avalanche.

The two of them half-flew and half-ran to the top of the mountain, and their eyes suddenly brightened, and their mood was different. I saw several big birds hovering at low altitude on the vast snow-capped mountain, and in front of me was a huge towering mountain gate, Ling Huayin said: "If you want to enter the mountain gate for the teacher, you will wait outside." ”

"Master, can't I go in with you?"

"This mountain gate is the important place of Zhonghuang Mountain, only the elders and the head can enter, if you find the snow sculpture that the head said, find a way to let it take you back, and the master will wait for you at the gate of Xianze Palace." With that, Ling Huayin walked towards the mountain gate by herself.

Su Mu saw Ling Huayin walking away, and before she could ask her if she could solve it by force, she saw two fierce black birds swooping down in her direction, and seeing that they were about to tear themselves apart, they must have regarded Su Mu as an intruder.

Su Muxin said: Forget it, I still wanted to enter their territory without permission or explain it to them, but they clearly didn't give themselves this opportunity to communicate, and they wanted to drive themselves out, and it seemed that they couldn't do it without force. So he showed his sword and shouted to the two big birds: "Hey, where is your leader? Call it out, I want to play with it!"
