"Yin Yin, you have been practicing your sword very diligently these days, of course this is very good, but it can't be too hard. You're looking a little bad right now, so let's rest. Turning around, Mom asked Ziyun Zhenren for a pair of Seven Star Swirl Turtles, refined a furnace of Star Turtle Moon Return Cream, and gave you a good supplement to the true element. **Lan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead for Zhang Yinyin, and said with distress.

Zhang Yinyin shook his head and said impatiently: "Mom, you are so long-winded! You and Dad used to always say that you couldn't rely on the elixir to cultivate diligently, but now why have all of them changed? What's the big deal if you're tired, I'll just practice the spirit of the Three Halal Sutras for one night." ”

Saying that, Zhang Yinyin desperately struggled out of ** Lan's hand, and rushed out of the house on tiptoe, shouting: "Moon medicine, Liuhui, go and prepare, Miss Ben will still cultivate after bathing!"

"Yin Yin, Yin Yin!" ** Lan shouted twice, but Zhang Yinyin turned a deaf ear and disappeared in the backyard a long time ago. She had to sigh and say, "This child is getting more and more difficult to discipline!" But looking at her smiling appearance, how could she blame Zhang Yinyin for half of it?

**Lan got up and left the Qingxin Xiaozhu where Zhang Yinyin lived, and as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he happened to see Jingxiao Zhenren walking towards this side.

"At this time, it's time for Yin Yin to finish practicing the sword, let her take a break. "Jing Xiao is really humane.

**Lan smiled: "She refuses to rest, and now she is about to bathe and change her clothes, so that she can practice the Three Halal Sutras! This time in the annual exam, Yin Yin's ranking has increased by dozens of places, and she has always been at the bottom in the past few years. Thinking about it at that time, it was even more difficult to ask her to practice swords for a while than to ascend to the sky. ”

Jing Xiao Zhenren stroked his long beard, smiled, and said: "Yin Yintian's capital is excellent, no matter how hard you know, it is easy to be diligent in Taoism." Hehe, then again, where can I be Zhang Jingxiao's daughter?"

**Lan knew that if Zhang Yinyin started to practice the Three Pure Sutras, it would be at least a whole night's work, so he followed Zhang Yinxiao towards the main hall, and said as he went: "Jingxiao, don't you think that Yin Yinyin seems to have completely changed in the past two months? Now she is cultivating almost all the time." But there is one thing that is not quite right, I have quietly watched her practice swords, Yin Yin gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to get along with someone. ”

Jing Xiao Zhenren said with a smile: "Except for that Ji Ruochen, who else will she not get along with?" Even if you don't talk about Ruochen's immortal body and promising future, this kid himself is quite good." Judging from his past behavior, he is very protective of Yin Yin, which is also rare. Let them make trouble!"

**Lan was a little worried, and said: "But Yin Yin has a reckless temper and doesn't know the severity of his work, and he has already seriously injured Ruochen once." If she is deep, she must have to trouble Ruochen again, but don't hurt Ruochen again. ”

Jing Xiao Zhenren smiled: "What are you afraid of, children are fighting and making trouble, that's called childhood sweethearts." ”

At dusk the next day, Ji Ruochen finished listening to Gu Shouzhen's teachings and was walking towards Taichang Peak alone. If you turn a corner in front of you and bypass a wall, you will suddenly open up in front of you, and the avenue leading to the Taichang Peak Rope Bridge will appear. Before walking to the corner, Ji Ruochen's heart suddenly jumped. People who used to trouble him liked to stand here and suddenly shout when he turned the corner. I don't know if I want to come suddenly, give him a dismount first. Now that Ji Ruochen is here, he feels uneasy in his heart, is there anyone waiting for him here?

"Ji Ruochen!" Sure enough, he snapped.

Ji Ruochen sighed secretly, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that it was Mingyun who was blocking the road. Mingyun is calm and dignified, and he does things properly, Ji Ruochen has a good impression of him, why does he have to stop himself today?

"Senior Brother Mingyun, don't you know what to do with me?" Ji Ruochen replied politely. Since the other party's posture is deliberately looking for trouble, then the Daode Sect has always used virtue to convince people, and he always has to be polite and thorough, and he will first take advantage of a rational word.

"What's the matter?" Mingyun's face was extremely gloomy, and he said, "Even if Mingxin has offended you, he is still a child after all. If you have the intention to conspire with him to steal your things and cause him to cultivate for half a year, that's all. But my sect's annual examination has always been to the point, and the more skilled disciples have Dharma weapons to protect themselves, but you actually seriously injured Mingxin, and even cracked your skull! What kind of hatred does he have with you, how can he be so ruthless?"

Ji Ruochen was stunned and asked, "Mingxin is so badly hurt? I didn't touch Zhenyuan at that time, and he didn't seem to be fine." ”

Mingyun shouted: "You didn't move the True Yuan? With your current Taoism, if you didn't give it all your might, how could you break the Mingxin Talisman and crack his skull? If it wasn't done deliberately, why would it be like this?

Ji Ruochen did not answer after hearing this. He untied the backpack behind him, placed it on the ground by the roadside, and slowly pulled out the black wood sword, before walking to the opposite side of Mingxin, and said, "I thought you were a reasonable person, but I didn't expect to see you wrong." It seems that you don't want to hear anything from me today. Well, since you want to teach me a lesson, then although I am not an opponent, I must also fight to the death! Just for the sake of the friendship of the same family, I also want to remind Senior Brother Mingyun that after teaching me a lesson, you will not be able to avoid ten years of hard labor. ”

Mingyun's face was covered with lead clouds, and of course he knew the consequences of teaching Ji Ruochen a lesson. It is not wise to be sentenced to 10 years of hard labour for the sake of taking advantage of the moment. This Mingyun also knew, but seeing that Mingxin was bedridden, a rush surged into his heart, and he wanted to give Ji Ruochen a little color at all costs. At this moment, seeing Ji Ruochen solemnly putting on the momentum of a decisive battle between life and death, Mingyun also somewhat regretted his impulse in his heart, but at this moment, he was squeezed by Ji Ruochen's words, how could he still have steps to go down?

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, a young man turned around in the corner of the wall and said with a sneer: "The disciple of Taixuan Palace really lives up to his reputation, he is really humble and peaceful, and he is fair. If you hurt someone, you never say anything, and if your own person is injured, you have to ask for the blame. How can we cultivators be like mortals, what if our brains are cracked? As long as we don't hurt the Dao Foundation and don't damage our wisdom, we can recuperate for ten days and half a month, how big of a deal can it be? Hmph, I heard that Ji Ruochen's injuries were not once or twice in the hands of your Taixuan Palace disciples, so why didn't you see Mingyun Dazhen come out and say a fair word at that time?"

Mingyun's face turned red, and he was speechless.

Ji Ruochen turned his head to look at it, and he was really a little uncertain. He wanted to fight to be injured again, and he also wanted to send Mingyun to labor for ten years, so that he could come back in exchange for some quiet days. Although the guy who killed him halfway was speechless, he also gave him a step down, which was actually equivalent to helping Mingyun.

Mingyun snorted and glared at the young man fiercely. The boy glared back unceremoniously with a sneer on his lips. The two stared at each other for a long time, and when even Ji Ruochen thought that they were going to start a fight, Mingyun suddenly put his sword back into the sheath, turned around and strode away, without even looking back.

At this time, Ji Ruochen had already looked at the young man. He looked about the same age as himself, with a face like jade, and he was unusually handsome. But his eyes were as bright as the morning star, and there was a faint aura of killing. This young man's appearance was excellent, but the killing intent in his eyes was really sharp, and he turned the nephrite jade boy who was originally a fat powder bush into a bright sword. When Ji Ruochen looked carefully, he realized that the killing intent in the young man's eyes occasionally flashed, but it was slightly restrained at the brightest and sharpest time. He knew that this meaning should not be underestimated. Go and go back, it is a whole step higher than the edge of the show. Ji Ruochen was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this young man was about the same age as himself, and he had already had the kung fu of the Taiqing Xuansheng Realm, and there were not many disciples of the entire Daodaozong of this age who could cultivate to the Xuansheng Realm. Looking at the fact that he didn't buy Mingyun's account at all, Ji Ruochen already had a rough idea of his identity in his heart.

Sure enough, the young man gave Ji Ruochen a salute and said, "My surname is Li Xuanzhen, but he is a disciple of Xuanzhen Palace under the rule of Yuxu Zhenren, and I have seen Senior Brother Ruochen." ”

Ji Ruochen hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Senior Brother Xuanzhen is young, has superb Taoism, and is known as a big name in the sect, I have been famous for a long time, but I only saw it today." ”

Li Xuanzhen gave another deep salute, and suddenly smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." But...... I said Senior Brother Ruochen, the relationship between my palace ancestor Yuxu Zhenren and Ziyang Zhenren is extraordinary, and most of the disciples of the two palaces have a good personal relationship. So we don't need to be so polite, right? ”

Ji Ruochen was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't expect Li Xuanzhen to be so unscrupulous, not as arrogant as other talented disciples. Coupled with Li Xuan's true bearing and appearance, Ji Ruochen naturally had a good impression in his heart.

Li Xuanzhen said again: "I heard that Senior Brother Ruochen won the first place in the annual exam, I originally wanted to come to meet Senior Brother today, but I didn't expect to meet Mingyun halfway. I saw that he didn't look right, so I secretly followed. The disciples of Taixuan Palace have never been very reasonable, and I have often heard of this, but I didn't expect Mingyun to be such a person. Alas, it's a shame to lose to him in this year's annual exam. ”

Ji Ruochen saw that he was open-minded, and even told him calmly about such embarrassing things as losing his skills, and his good feeling in his heart rose a point, and he comforted him at the moment: "Victory or defeat is an ordinary thing. When it comes to feathering ascension, the Three Pure Halal Tricks are fundamental, and the Immortal Sword Spell is just a sideshow. It's just that...... As far as I know, the Lieqi Sword taught by Yuxuan Zhenren contains the power of heaven and earth, and it is quite capable of restraining the Great Five Elements Sword Technique of Taixuan Palace. Why is Senior Brother Xuanzhen still invincible to Mingyun?"

"Column lacks sword?" Li Xuanzhen smiled and said: "Of course, the Jade Void Ancestor's column lacks sword and is difficult to defeat, but at least the true yuan of the Shangqing realm can be cultivated, but I am still far behind." ”

Ji Ruochen was surprised. It is impossible for the Jade Void True Person to hide his own disciples, so in this way, the few styles he has learned should be a move that the Jade Void True Person has specially created for him and does not need to be urged by the True Yuan.

Li Xuanzhen accompanied Ji Ruochen to talk and laugh all the way, and in a blink of an eye, he was about to arrive at the rope bridge, and from a distance, Yunfeng Dao Chang was already waiting by the rope bridge. Li Xuanzhen immediately stopped and said, "Senior Brother Ruochen, Daoist Yunfeng is already waiting for you, and I should also go back to Xuanyuan Palace." Speaking from the heart, before I came to see Senior Brother Ruochen, I heard that Senior Brother was favored by all real people, and I was quite unconvinced. But when I saw it today, my brother's bearing and wisdom were really different. The road is difficult, and although the senior brother is late in seeking the Tao, the gap in time in the past few years can be made up in a blink of an eye. In the future, if my brother has any more trouble, just come to me. Others will let the Taixuan Palace, but our Xuanming Palace will not let it. ”

Ji Ruochen smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanzhen." But as long as I don't fight with them, after they make a lot of trouble a few times, I guess I will find it boring when I think about it, and I won't bother me anymore. ”

Li Xuanzhen laughed and said, "It's rare that Senior Brother Ruochen is so broad-minded, so it seems that although I have ruined Senior Brother Ruochen's good deeds, you won't blame me." ”

Ji Ruochen's heart moved, and he asked knowingly, "My good thing?"

Li Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Although Mingyun is a little unsophisticated, the Immortal Sword Dao technique is indeed very powerful. I lost to him this year and I want to win it back next year. However, disciples who have been punished with hard labor are not allowed to take the annual examination. ”

After that, Li Xuanzhen saluted Ji Ruochen, said goodbye, and introduced Shang Qiushui and Ji Ruochen to know each other when he had time in the future, which was also a wonderful person worth seeing, and then drifted away.

Ji Ruochen looked at Li Xuanzhen's back, and felt a chill in his heart for a while. He suddenly wondered, did he underestimate the disciples in the sect? It seems that apart from the disciples who are not very sophisticated in the world, there are not many disciples with great wisdom hidden in the Daode Sect. Don't sit in the well and watch the sky, and look down on the wisdom of others.

But when he was savoring the scene just now, Ji Ruochen suddenly found that when Shang Qiushui was mentioned, a faint light flashed in Li Xuanzhen's eyes.

He seems to have ulterior motives.

March has passed in a hurry, winter has gone, and spring is coming.

Before dawn that day, Ji Ruochen was already sitting on a huge rock in the mountain behind Mogan Peak, quietly watching the vast sea of clouds in front of him. This huge rock is like an eagle with wings outstretched, most of its body sticks out of the cliff, and it will not fly. The place where Ji Ruochen sat was the eagle's beak. This huge eagle's beak can accommodate two people sitting side by side.

In the harsh winter, the vast sea of clouds surrounding Mogan Peak is as thick as lead for half a while. This season's sea of clouds is different from the cold winter, looking at it is already a lot of light and agile jumping, and after a while, when the morning sun first appears, this sea of clouds will be plated with a layer of gold, such as the sea with fine golden ripples.

Ji Ruochen accidentally discovered this treasure two months ago. After that, whenever he came to the Taishang Daode Palace to listen to the teachings of real people, he would often come half an hour early, sit here for a while, and watch the sunrise over the mountains.

At this moment, Ji Ruochen does not attract the sun, nor does he inhale aura. He just sits, doesn't think about anything, just sits there.

This may be the only quiet time when you don't have to think about anything. Ji Ruochen knew that it was very luxurious to sit like this, but he was tired. There are too many secrets hidden in his heart, and the word "immortal" is like two mountains, pressing on his back all the time. No matter what he does, Ji Ruochen has to carry these two mountains that he can't move or let go. This short quarter of an hour was the only time he could lay down these two mountains.

When he was at the Dragon Gate Inn, Ji Ruochen was always busy from morning to night. When the day is over and he is lying in bed, his favorite thought is that fifty taels of silver will fall from the sky, so that he can buy a small piece of land, and he can also open a black shop. Now after entering the Daode Sect, Ji Ruochen's room is full of magic weapons worth thousands of gold, but quiet moments and simple happiness have become extremely difficult to find.

It's just that this rare moment of silence has only been less than two months.

Ji Ruochen looked at the hookah that was quietly surging up around him, so faint that it was almost imperceptible, and heard the soft sound of footsteps behind him, and his head couldn't help but start to ache faintly again.

Without saying a word, he sat down beside Ji Ruochen and stared at the sea of clouds in the distance. Although the giant eagle is large, the beak of the eagle is only suitable for two people to sit side by side. Ji Ruochen and Hanyan were almost next to each other, and when the mountain breeze blew, the corners of her skirt sleeves, faint hookahs, and wisps of dark incense would pass over him from time to time.

Ji Ruochen's heart was beating faster again, and his breathing was a little short. But this is different from the first time he met Hanyan for a few days, this time he was very sober, and it was because he was clear that he felt very clear about Hanyan's every move. At this moment, the two of them were so close that his whole body was almost enveloped by the smoke around his smoking body. He and Hanyan also sat side by side in class, but that was the life of Yuxuan Zhenren, and there was also a distance between the two. Sitting in this way now, in fact, has long gone beyond the ordinary friendship of fellow students.

Ji Ruochen was really confused this time, and just thought in his heart: "She...... How could she sit so close......"

At the moment when the morning sun was rising, Hanyan suddenly said: "Senior Brother Ruochen, you occupy my place!"

Ji Ruochen sighed and said, "Here, but I've been here for almost two months, and I've never seen anyone on this big rock." ”

Hanyan said lightly: "Senior Brother Ruochen, 'Goshawk spreads its wings, the sun rises in the East China Sea' is more or less a scene of Moganfeng, I often come here to watch the sunrise, but I haven't met Senior Brother before." ”

Ji Ruochen smiled bitterly, looked at the eagle's beak that was not wide under him, and reluctantly moved out. When he moved, half of his body was already hanging in the air.

Hanyan suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Senior Brother Ruochen, if you move again, you will fall down." I won't save you then. ”

Ji Ruochen was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Hanyan. Hanyan was also looking at him, looking at each other at this very close distance, Ji Ruochen suddenly felt weak in his heart, and turned his face away. Hanyan smiled again and said, "Senior Brother Ruochen, you seem to be very afraid of me." ”

"How is that possible? No, of course not. Ji Ruochen flatly denied it, but at that moment, he saw the immovable and cold giant reef from the depths of the smoke eye.

Hanyan sighed lightly, and actually held Ji Ruochen's hand and looked at it carefully. Although Ji Ruochen has worked hard since he was a child and has scars all over his body, his hands are very good, just like a rich boy who has never done hard chores. Han Yan stared at it for a long time, and said: "Senior Brother Ruochen, the bloody qi on your hands is condensed and does not disperse, and it can't be stopped, presumably the killing in the past is extremely heavy." In fact, what I'm afraid of should be smoke. ”

Ji Ruochen was shocked, turned his head, and met the smoky gaze.

At this moment, there happened to be a gust of mountain wind passing by, blowing away the smoke clouds and water vapor that did not disperse all day long. The girl, who had always been shrouded in fog and clouds, finally appeared clearly in front of him.

At that moment, it was like the flowers blooming in the quiet night, and the moon rising in the spring river.

"Hanyan, why did the smoke cloud on your body disperse?

"These clouds of smoke and mist were originally smoked and didn't want people to see it really. ”

Ji Ruochen's heart moved, and he suddenly had an indescribable feeling. Before he could figure out the meaning of Han Yan's words, she slowly rose and floated down, leaving only one sentence:

"Although this eagle's beak is not wide, it can still accommodate two people, and there is no need for senior brothers to avoid it in the future. ”
