Rong'er smiled and climbed upwards with her feet. She was light, like a fluttering butterfly, her feet did not touch the ground, but she had already jumped upwards with an arrow. Closely followed behind Ding Cheng.

Ding Cheng looked back at Rong'er while going up the mountain. He was afraid that he would walk too fast and the distance between him and Rong'er would be too far, and if Rong'er was in any danger, he would not have time to rescue.

But after a cup of tea, he found that Rong'er had been following closely behind him, about a foot away from him. Look at her face is not red, she is not panting, as if she is walking in the courtyard, effortlessly.

Ding Cheng couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Rong'er is really light!"

Since the mountain is quite high, and the higher you go, the steeper the mountain becomes, and there is no path at all. Ding Cheng looked down and saw that his feet had turned into an abyss, bottomless, and he could only see a cloud of mist.

Ding Cheng paused, waited for Rong'er to catch up, and walked side by side with her. Both of them slowed down a little, but they walked more steadily.

The section towards the top of the mountain is the hardest to walk, and it is actually impossible to climb it with just your feet. Ding Cheng took the cat bear held in Rong'er's hand and put it into his arms, and the two of them used their hands and feet together to climb up.

At the last distance of about three feet, there was no place to start. Ding Cheng stepped on a protruding stone with both feet, took Rong'er's hand with one hand, and threw it up. Rong'er flew up, and stood firmly on the top of the cliff with a rise and fall.

Then Ding Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, flew up, came to the top of the cliff, and stood side by side with Rong'er.

Only then did the two of them see clearly that the Nanqing Palace on the top of the mountain, although its scale is not large, there are no pavilions and pavilions, but it is built exquisitely enough. In front of the hall, there is a crane more than one zhang high, looking westward, full of fairy spirit.

At this time, the cat bear in Ding Cheng's arms was not honest, and he kept making trouble. Ding Cheng took out the cat bear and handed it to Rong'er, and the strange thing was that the cat bear became well-behaved as soon as it arrived in Rong'er's arms.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and were about to walk towards the Nanqing Palace. Suddenly, a voice came from mid-air and said, "Who are you, dare to trespass on my Nanqing Palace?"

Then a dark shadow flashed and stood in front of them. Ding Cheng looked at this person, about fifty or sixty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a majestic appearance, and a complexion that seemed to be unkind.

Ding Cheng said with a humble face: "I have seen my predecessors in Xia Ding Cheng, dare to ask my seniors for their names?"

The man didn't answer Ding Cheng's question, but said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Ding Cheng said: "We are from Yunnan, and we want to see Xuanyuanzi's seniors, and we want to ask Xuanyuanzi's seniors for advice in person. ”

The man said coldly: "The master has never seen outsiders, and we don't welcome outsiders here, so please go back." As he spoke, he put on a posture of sending off guests and driving people away.

Ding Cheng thought to himself: "We came from Yunnan thousands of miles away, why didn't we even see the face of Xuanyuanzi's predecessors, so we were sent away with your words?"

But since he has a request for others, he has to be patient, accompanied by kind words: "Senior Rongyu, it is not easy for us to come this time, and it is indeed important to ask to see Xuanyuanzi's seniors, in order to just want Xuanyuanzi's seniors to solve a few doubts in our hearts for us, and I hope that the seniors will be accommodating, so let's meet Xuanyuanzi's seniors." ”

The man said loudly and angrily: "I told you that my master doesn't see outsiders, don't you hear? Why don't you leave quickly!"

Rong'er saw Ding Cheng's repeated kind words and begging, but the other party was repeatedly arrogant and rude, and she didn't agree to anything, so she was naturally a little unhappy in her heart.

Although he is already a lot old, he can't rely on the old and sell the old so unreasonable.

Rong'er opened her mouth and said, "Senior, then how can you let us meet the Venerable Master?"

The man saw that Rong'er's tone was not as friendly as Ding Cheng's, so he glared at Rong'er angrily and said, "If you don't see it, you don't see it, what kind of nonsense? ”

Rong'er also said angrily: "What we want to see is not you, but your master Xuanyuanzi senior, you don't know if you can't see it." We just want to trouble you to go in and spread the word, if the old Xuanyuan really doesn't want to see us, we just need his old man to say it inside, and we will turn around and leave. Otherwise we'll stay here today and won't leave!"

The man said angrily: "Presumptuous! This is the Nanqing Palace, how can you two ignorant juniors be allowed to go wild here." If you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

As he spoke, the man raised his right palm and struck with a gesture. Ding Cheng saw that one of this person's palms was like a pu fan, and before he came out of his palm, he had already given people a momentum that could open the stele and crack the stones, and overwhelm the mountains and seas, knowing that his skills must be extraordinary, he didn't dare to be careless, and was secretly ready to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the man's palm was raised in the air, but he did not shoot it. After a stalemate for a while, the man shook his hand and said, "Let me tell you the truth, my master is not in the palace, so you should go down the mountain quickly." ”

Ding Cheng asked, "Xuanyuanzi's predecessor is really not in the palace?"

The man said, "It's really not here, why should I deceive you two little dolls!"

Ding Cheng saw that the man's face was solemn, and he didn't look like he was telling a lie, so he believed it and said with some disappointment: "Then where is the Venerable Master, when will I be able to come back?"

The man said coldly, "No comment!"

Rong'er pulled Ding Cheng's sleeves and said in a low voice: "Brother Ding can't easily believe his words, I see that the Xuanyuan seniors are in the palace, this is just his prevarication, he doesn't want us to see the Xuanyuan seniors." ”

Then he said in a loud voice to the man, "Since we have come from thousands of miles away, we have not left so easily. We couldn't see the Xuanyuan seniors, so we stayed here. ”

The man listened to Rong'er's words, and his face was cloudy. Rong'er thought he would have a seizure, but she didn't expect the man to "snort" and say, "If you want to stay here and wait, just do as you please." But I warn you not to disturb a single plant or tree on the mountain. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Nanqing Palace.

Rong'er said in a low voice: "Brother Ding, what should we do?

Ding Cheng shook his head and said: "No, we have something to ask for, Xuanyuanzi's predecessors are people who have cultivated for a hundred years, let's not mess around." ”

Rong'er nodded and said, "What then?"

Ding Cheng said: "Wait, I believe that Xuanyuanzi's seniors will definitely come out to see us." ”

So the two sat down on the spot in front of the Nanqing Palace.
