From time to time, Li Taibai's famous sentence "The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky" is praised all over the world.

Ji Ruochen also reads some scriptures and historical poems in his spare time, and he also knows this sentence.

However, it wasn't until he entered Shu that he knew the true meaning of Li Taibai's sentence. Shu is so dangerous that even if you visit in person, you can't believe it. The steep peaks of thousands of walls stretch into pieces, like a barrier proudly across the heavens and the earth. Between the mountain walls like axes and knives, pine trees hang upside down, flying springs pour straight down, and it is difficult to find human traces and animal marks. However, the risk of waiting and seeing, is not as terrifying as climbing. When Ji Ruochen crossed Gu Qing and walked in the bird's intestine-like thin road, he always felt like he was in the air. In the mountains and forests, the yin wind and the rock roar rise together, the phantom is longing, Rao is Ji Ruochen has extraordinary knowledge, and he can't help but feel frightened.

According to Gu Qing's words, the place where the cloud residence is located is even more dangerous. After entering Shu, after walking for another half a month, Ji Ruochen arrived at the southwest of Shu, chose a gentle slope against the mountains and rivers to set up a tent, and prepared to rest for the night. Further on, there are snow-capped mountains that are frozen all year round. Although the cultivators are extraordinary, and these snow-capped mountains are not Jedi, Ji Ruochen knows that his Taoism is low, and he has Gu Qing by his side to take care of him, so this road is not easy to walk. Besides, in such a sparsely populated place, most of them are infested with fierce beasts, and these fierce beasts are not something that Ji Ruochen can easily deal with.

The half month that accompanied her was actually quite hard. The green mang in Yin Feng's palm didn't know what the trick was, it was lonely and cold, and his nature was not in any of the Dao methods that Ji Ruochen knew, and even with his dissociation technique, he felt a little clueless. After losing both with Yinfeng, after a day's effort, Gu Qing's external injuries have healed, but her true yuan cultivation has all collapsed, all the meridians and mysteries are injured, the purple mansion is locked, and the jade field is not opened, it should have been a situation of divine annihilation, and I don't know how she can support it.

In the first few days, Gu Qingquan relied on Ji Ruochen's remaining elixir to hang his life, and he didn't even have the strength to walk, so he had to be held by Ji Ruochen to hurry. It wasn't until five days later that she could barely walk like an ordinary person, but she still couldn't lift the true yuan at all, and if she wanted to go over the mountains and mountains, she still needed Ji Ruochen's support. Fortunately, her injuries did not worsen, and Ji Ruochen finally let go of her worries.

In fact, he knew that Gu Qing was extremely injured, and if the green mang was stabbed on his body, he would have already returned to bliss. Counting up, this is the second time Gu Qing has fought for his life. Thinking about this matter every time in the middle of the night, Ji Ruochen is always preoccupied, and he doesn't know how he can be so favored by her.

And along the way, the two of them were grinding and intimate. However, Gu Qing always smiled freely, not avoiding or taboo, but Ji Ruochen's face was red and his heart was beating endlessly.

Thinking about it while hanging like this, Ji Ruochen's heart was in turmoil, and it took half a day for the tent to be hung up. On the other side, Gu Qing lit a bonfire in the morning, sat by the fire with his knees crossed, and thought to himself. At this time, it was getting late, and the firelight was blazing, reflecting the flickering light and darkness on her side, and the occasional mountain wind would make a few wisps of green silk and blow in front of her eyes, but she didn't realize it.

Although it was the height of summer, the night above the mountain was still very cold. Gu Qing was scattered at this time, and he had already lost the strength to resist the cold. When Ji Ruochen saw it, he hurriedly took off his robe and put it on her, and then sat down beside her. Gu Qing smiled, rested his head on his shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.

Gu Qing has always been free and easy, with heaven and earth in her chest, it seems that everything is under her control. In the past, in front of her, Ji Ruochen often had a sense of being ashamed of herself and standing up to the mountains. It is only in this half month that I can see the other side of her weak nature.

Ji Ruochen only felt that the dark fragrance was surging, and her whole body was stiff at the moment, and she didn't dare to move, but she was afraid of startling her.

At this time, a scorching heat appeared in his chest, and the bluestone glowed slightly, injecting a subtle stream of heat into Ji Ruochen's body. In the past, when he was restless, this bluestone would always help him settle down, but today, when he sensed the changes in bluestone, his heart was even more chaotic.

Ji Ruochen turned his head slightly, looking at Gu Qing from top to bottom as if he was sleeping, thinking about the origin of this bluestone, thinking about the strange reaction of Yin Feng, thinking about her sudden favor as high as the clouds in the sky, all of this was slowly worn together, and gradually put together a new picture.

Five years of cultivation on Xixuan Mountain, he is known to have stolen from the fat sheep in the Dragon Gate Inn. Gu Qing, who should have been out of reach, leaned on his shoulder at the moment, tracing back to the source, thinking that half of the reason for coming to Thailand was because of this bluestone. This bluestone enabled him to cultivate the Great Dao, learn the Immortal Recipe for Dissociation, and made Gu Qing appear in front of him.

But this bluestone did not belong to him. And how should he deal with himself?

Ji Ruochen sighed secretly.

Ziyang Zhenren once said that the spiritual things in the world have their own luck, but only the virtuous live in it, and if they don't take it, it is against the sky. He was born in a black shop, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the jungle. In the Taoist books he reads on the mountain, he repeatedly preaches the cycle of heaven and the correspondence of cause and effect, that is, those who fell under his stick are the causes of the past, and only then do they have the fruits of today. Therefore, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with taking the bluestone and owning everything today, and when he faced off with Yinfeng, he could also hold the heart of fighting to the death.

As soon as he thought of this, there was a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, and a little tingling, it turned out that a few strands of her hair swept across his face.

Ji Ruochen's heart beat fast again, and an unprecedented taste surged from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly felt that he should tell her the origin of the bluestone, not for anything else, but he didn't want her to regret it.

Gu Qing suddenly sighed softly. Ji Ruochen looked down and saw that she had opened her eyes at some point, and she was looking at the jumping bonfire in a daze.

In fact, what can be done with right and wrong, it is nothing more than some chance cause and effect. Gu Qing seemed to be talking to himself.

Ji Ruochen couldn't think of how to answer for a while, Gu Qing had already sat up, looked at Ji Ruochen, left and right. Ji Ruochen was at a loss for a while, so she had to turn her gaze to the side, so that she felt better.

"May I ask, what are Brother Ruochen's plans in the future?"

"In the future, this ......" Ji Ruochen suddenly didn't know how to answer. In the future, the two words will be confusing for him.

Gu Qing immediately noticed his strange appearance, thought for a while, and immediately asked, "Brother Ruochen, do you have something on your mind, is there something that the Daode Sect can't solve?"

Ji Ruochen smiled bitterly and said, "I made some mistakes, and I didn't dare to go back to the mountain for a while." ”

Gu Qing stared at him, waited for a while, and saw that he didn't wait for the next step, knowing that he didn't want to elaborate, so he smiled and said: "Who can be innocent? Right or wrong, sometimes it doesn't matter." No one can look at all the chances and calculate the cause and effect, how can they know whether it is right or wrong? You, you are sometimes too persistent. I think Ziyang Zhenren is open-minded, even if you really have any mistakes, how can you not tolerate it? If you are still worried, I will ask my senior brother to repair a letter of guarantee for you. Even if Ziyang Zhenren wants to punish you, for the sake of the senior brother, it will be over. ”

"Your senior brother, is it Chu Han?" Ji Ruochen was a little strange. Although Chu Han is extremely talented, steady and calm, and has the style of a king, he is a junior after all, where can he have such a big face?

Gu Qing smiled lightly and said, "Chu Han, where is he my senior brother! My senior brother's surname is Jin Mingshan, and he is full of words, according to himself, he had some friendship with Ziwei and Ziyang Zhenren back then, and he should be able to say something in front of the two real people. ”

Ji Ruochen recited it several times, and only felt that the name Jinshan Jinmantang was very vulgar, but he didn't know what kind of master he was. If he claims to be in the clouds and the sea and the like, then doesn't this person want to call himself the golden mountain in the clouds?

But this person has some friendship with Ziwei and Ziyang Zhenren, so this identity is definitely not trivial. Gu Qing is just over twenty, how can there be such a senior brother?

Seeing Ji Ruochen pondering repeatedly, Gu Qing couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Jinshan is the common name of the senior brother, and most of the people in the same way now call him idle. ”

Ji Ruochen exclaimed in surprise and said, "Qingxian is your senior brother?!"

"yes. Gu Qing said with a light smile.

Ji Ruochen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Qing Xian Zhenren has been in charge of the portal of Yunzhongju for more than 40 years, and has been in retreat for nearly 30 years.

As if he had known that Ji Ruochen would be speechless, Gu Qing said to himself: "Since the day I went up the mountain, Senior Brother Jinshan has liked me very much, saying that the first master accepted me as an apprentice, and after that, he and the three uncles taught me together......"

At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, under the cold moon, Gu Qing told the story of his more than ten years of cultivation in the clouds. For a time, this piece of poor mountains and evil mountains had already become a wonderland of immortal mountains in Ji Ruochen's eyes.

The road is long, and it is far from endless. Although more than ten years of cultivation is long, in fact, there is nothing to say, Gu Qing talked about it, and he finished talking about all the past events in his monastic career in half an hour.

Ji Ruochen's heart was pounding, Gu Qing sacrificed his life twice to save him, and tonight he made the past clear one by one, and his mind was already revealed. The road is difficult, if you can be accompanied by this beautiful woman on the way to search, what more can you ask for?

He pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Actually, I have one more thing that I have to let you know......"

However, when the words came to his mouth, Ji Ruochen suddenly found that it would be so difficult to say it. If he wasn't an immortal, if he told him the origin of the bluestone, would Gu Qing immediately turn around and leave? Will everything in front of him that seems to be illusory and real disappear like a dream bubble?

After struggling for a long time, he finally said, "Actually, I'm not...... It's not ......"

Gu Qing looked at him with a smile and said, "...... Isn't it an immortal?"

Ji Ruochen was immediately taken aback and said, "How do you know?"

Gu Qingdao said: "Back then, Luoyang suddenly descended the Purple Fire Heavenly Thunder, and there were immortals born outside the main fortress, and there were not a few sects that deduced this! Even if it is an immortal himself, there are ten ** who have lived a life in a mess, and there are actually few people who can cultivate and ascend and return to the fairy world. What's more, after the birth of the snake, the cause and effect of this life have become even more chaotic, and where can we see clearly and clearly distinguish between right and wrong? Most of the immortals recognized by the world are wrong. And the real immortals often don't know the cause and effect of their past lives. Therefore, you don't have to take the matter of immortals to heart, and it's useless to think about it. ”

Ji Ruochen was stunned when he heard this, but he had never thought about it deeply. Gu Qing sighed lightly, held Ji Ruochen's hand, and said, "But I am very happy that you can tell me this secret." Ruochen, you better go back to the Daode Sect. You have the secret of liberation, and you have that stick technique, and in time, you will not be worse than any immortal. But you and I will only get worse and worse in the future, and these two methods alone are not enough, we still have to study the three halal tips well and lay a solid foundation. You don't have to worry, if you have a senior brother to repair your book, Ziyang Zhenren will never embarrass you. ”

At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew, Gu Qing's face turned pale, Ji Ruochen hesitated, and reached out to pick her up. Gu Qing's body shook slightly, then relaxed, and leaned into his arms.

Five days later.

"Fix a book, fix a book!"

Ji Ruochen looked at the idle real person and was stunned for a while.

Qing Xian Zhenren looks to be in his fifties, with a bald head and big ears, a dark complexion, and a pair of eyes that are not small, but an inverted triangle, with a nose like an eagle's hook, and the corners of his mouth protruding downward, looking like others owe him tens of thousands of taels of silver and not paying it back. This innocent real man is wide and fat, but he is not tall, and he is really half a head lower than Gu Qing.

At this time, he sat cross-legged behind the low table carved in black cloud stone, his eyes were like eagles, staring at Ji Ruochen, the corners of his mouth on both sides were almost straight down, pointing straight to the ground, and the black meat on that face was almost filled with dark clouds in almost every piece.

What surprised Ji Ruochen was not only the sudden bad attitude of the idle real person, but also his undesirable dignity. In all fairness, although the idle real person occupies enough of the four characters of black, fat, short and bald, and looks at the past like a scale, but this anger, his face is still full of evil energy, and he has a bit of the majesty of the head of the big faction.

However, monks can't do it, and changing the face is also one of them. All monks and women can be immortal, even if they are more than 100 years old, they can also look like 18 years old. The same can be said for men. For example, those with the status of Ziyang Zhenren will most likely choose the appearance of about forty or fifty years old, firstly, they will not hide the fairy style, and secondly, they can have the demeanor of an elder. However, those who have disabilities or are born with ugly appearances, after cultivating a cultivation equivalent to the advanced realm of the Taiqing Sect of the Daode Sect, can reshape the appearance of their limbs and change their disability and ugliness.

It is a bit incredible that such an identity and status as a pure real person still retains this dignity.

At this time, Ji Ruochen Gu Qing and Qing Xian Zhenren were in the same spacious house, and before he came, Ji Ruochen already knew that this was a place for Qing Xian Zhenren to retreat and cultivate. There are pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings in the house, one side of the wall is full of bookshelves, lined up with scriptures and history books, and the other side is placed on a cloud couch, which seems to be a place for leisure and real people to meditate and rest. There is no wall at the west end of the house, and the floor sticks straight out of the wall, facing the abyss. There is a black cloud stone table on the hanging platform, and the idle real person sits behind a few times, and Ji Ruochen stands in front of a few people.

Looking from here, although the surrounding clouds are shrouded, like in a fairyland, it is still a little scary to think that there is a bottomless cliff under your feet. What's even more strange is that there are still a full set of fishing tackle on the hanging platform, and I don't know what the idle real person wants to fish on the empty cliff.

Gu Qing lazily leaned on a pile of snow fox skins in the room, heard the real person reprimanding Ji Ruochen, and smiled at the moment: "Ruochen has just arrived, senior brother, don't scare others." If you don't cultivate the book, he won't dare to go back to the Daode Sect!"

Her face was still extremely pale, and her voice was soft, and she had no air at all. As soon as he returned to Yunzhongju, Gu Qing took Ji Ruochen to see Qingxian Zhenren, and he didn't care about treating his injuries.

After listening to Gu Qing's words, the black qi on Qing Xian Zhenren's face faded a little, and he snorted heavily at the moment, and said, "Qing'er, why are you stupid?

Gu Qing smiled lightly and said, "Senior brother, you also know that such a thing as a Dafan Dou Hexagram Machine will not be allowed as long as it involves related matters, so I should be stupid." But it was not enough for him to return to Xixuanshan, and after returning to the mountain, he would be unharmed and not punished. Only your handwriting, senior brother, can make Ziyang Zhenren handle it according to the book. ”

The idle real person smiled, laughed very happily, and said, "That's right!"

Seeing that Qing Xian Zhenren was being used by sycophants, Ji Ruochen's heart was wide, but he didn't know that his black face was a board, and he shouted: "I don't know the ghost thoughts of your little girl? Hmph, just based on the Shenzhou luck map in his fingers, will this kid be punished after he returns to the mountain?"

Gu Qing was slightly surprised and looked at Ji Ruochen.

Ji Ruochen was also stunned at first, and after thinking about it, he took out the black fish scale-like thing from Xuanxin's finger. If there is anything else in him of unknown origin, this is the only one.

When Gu Qing saw it, he immediately said, "Sure enough, it's the Divine Fortune Map." I didn't expect the treasure of the snake to be here with you, and it was also a chance!"

The function of the Xuanxin wrench is to isolate the spiritual sense treasure, Gu Qingdao can't do it, and it is normal that he can't see through the Xuanxin wrench.

With a move, the Shenzhou Qi Luck Map flew into his hands on its own. He glanced at it casually, then threw it back to Ji Ruochen, and said, "This thing affects the luck of the world, and we can't afford it in the clouds." As the saying goes, there is a cloud, and only the virtuous live in it, and there is a German character in the name of your moral sect, which is obviously a place to live. When you return to the mountain, you just have to present this thing, and instead of being punished, you will definitely be rewarded. As for repairing the book, it's exempt! Hmph, the two old ghosts of Ziwei Ziyang don't go down first...... What kind of book is down first, I will never write a word with them. ”

Ji Ruochen was only confused. Gu Qing glanced at him, his eyes suddenly drooped, he took out a letter from his arms, put it in front of him, and said softly: "Ziwei Zhenren's handwriting is already here." ”

The idle real man waved again, and the letter flew in front of him. He opened the envelope, read it in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile and say, "This is like a little talk! I'm still so stingy when I think these two old ghosts! Hmph, stinky boy, it's really cheap for you, haha!"

He didn't delay, he directly laid the paper and ink, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and waved the letter in the blink of an eye. Ji Ruochen looked over and saw that the letter was to the effect that Ji Ruochen was diligent and sensible, and I liked Yunyun very much. The letter ends with four big words, Jinshan in the clouds!

He was still unsatisfied, took a jade seal, soaked it with gold dust, and pressed it heavily on his name. When the jade seal was lifted, there was a mist-shrouded and golden hill on the letterhead.

Ji Ruochen was speechless.

Qingxian Zhenren was very satisfied with his handwriting, sealed the letter, stuffed it in Ji Ruochen's hand, pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "Well, Qing'er's injury will not heal until three months, so let's do it, the engagement ceremony between you and Qing'er will be held in October, and the wedding ceremony will be held three years later." Let's talk to Ziyang like this!"

"Three months?ah, what, engagement?" Ji Ruochen was taken aback first, never expecting that Gu Qing's injury was far more serious than he expected. However, Qing Xian Zhenren's latter sentence surprised him even more, so he couldn't help but look at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing just looked to the side and didn't look at him.

Seeing this, Qingxian Zhenren snorted heavily, and said, "I can settle such a trivial matter with Ziyang, do you know what it has to do with it." If you get cheap for nothing, do you have anything else to say?"

Ji Ruochen's heart was in chaos, and he didn't know whether he was surprised, happy, panicked, or sad for a while.

The matter was settled.

Qingxian Zhenren said to Gu Qing again: "This time, your Senior Sister Wulan and the Blue Sea Dragon Emperor fought and both lost, if you don't let that Purple Gold and White Jade Palace learn a lesson, they will definitely return to me as no one in the clouds! Qing'er, tell me, which flying immortal is more suitable in ancient times?"

Gu Qing said lightly: "It is rumored that the Five Spirits Xuan Laojun ascended to the East China Sea Immortal Island, of course, it is the most suitable. ”

Qing Xian said: "Very good! Release the news, just say that I have calculated that the Five Spirits Xuan Laojun will appear in the East China Sea in a month after the ascension of the Immortal Trace." Lao Jun left a clear and void phoenix feather Xuanjin Pill, which has the function of fixing qi and condensing shape, reshaping the immortal body, and has the hope of proving the avenue. ”

Ji Ruochen had just experienced the Luoyang Rebellion and saw the scene of cultivators all over the world fighting for life and death in order to seize a sacred object. If there really is such a golden pill in the world, it means that a lonely soul can also re-enter the Great Dao with this! Therefore, when he heard the words of the idle real person, he only felt a faint numbness in his spine.

How do you know that Gu Qing said again: "I heard that Wen Wan, the demon queen of the Stygian Mountain, has escaped from Moganfeng, she used the Northern Emperor Immortal Technique in vain, and her body has been destroyed, is it ......?"

Qing Xian snorted and said, "That's exactly what I mean." ”
