Yuxuan Zhenren has been waiting in the retreat for a long time. According to usual practice, Ji Ruochen has always arrived a moment early, and today is no exception. On weekdays, all the real people arrive on time, but today, for some reason, Yuxuan real people arrived earlier than him.

There was a woman sitting in the retreat, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, holding her temples high, wearing a plain long dress, no powder, no pearl jade. Her eyebrows are delicate, like distant mountains in the fog. The eye waves are blurred, and the spring river is warm.

At first glance, Ji Ruochen only felt that this was a woman completely condensed by water, indescribably weak and gentle. When she looked at it again, although she was sitting there, her body seemed to be caged in a layer of light hookah, and she was like looking at flowers through a curtain, only seeing its shadow, not distinguishing its shape. Ji Ruochen was slightly taken aback, and when she looked at it again, she happened to look at this side as well, and when her eyes touched, the eyes that seemed to be blurred with endless hookah had infinite suction, which made Ji Ruochen deeply indulged and couldn't extricate herself.

"Ruochen, you're here. A call from Yu Xuan Zhenren pulled Ji Ruochen's mind out of those endless eyes. She then pointed to the girl and said, "This is my Danyuan Palace disciple Hanyan." What I want to explain to you today is the "Eight Elements Sutra", and it just so happened that Hanyan also wanted to study this scripture, so I called her to come and listen to it together. Ruochen, go over and sit down. ”

Ji Ruochen agreed, and looked up at the location that Yu Xuanzhen was pointing to, which was next to the desk with smoke, so that heart suddenly beat much faster. Ji Ruochen approached, only to feel a dark fragrance like musk like an orchid surging at the end of his nose, and when he breathed hard, he didn't realize it, his heart was relieved, and the fragrance lingered again, like an ethereal fairy sound from the secret realm in the dark night.

As soon as he sat down, the smoke turned his head slightly, and his voice was like the waves on the river, turning a thousand times, and he said: "I've seen Senior Brother Ruochen." ”

Ji Ruochen only felt that the blood in his chest surged up, and he was dazed for a while, and he didn't dare to look at her face hidden behind the water and smoke. In a panic, he lowered his eyes, stared at the rosewood tabletop, and said busily: "The first person in my sect is the longest. This one...... Smoke you ......"

Hanyan said softly and lightly: "Senior Brother Ruochen is a disciple of Ziyang Zhenren, a high-ranking person, and one year older than me. It's just that there is no matter the age between the different palace veins of my sect. It's the sound of the smoke, the senior brother, is actually high. ”

Ji Ruochen didn't know why, his mind suddenly became confused, he squeaked for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Yuxuan Zhenren coughed lightly and had already started teaching, which could be regarded as a slight relief from his embarrassment.

For a whole morning, Ji Ruochen only felt fluttering, like in the clouds, like in the fog. Although he sat upright, his eyes did not squint, in the scriptures, his mind, all of them were the snow skin and ice muscles around him, plain lips, and jade fingers. As for what Yu Xuan Zhenren said, he actually didn't listen to it at all. The subtle Taoism taught by Yu Xuan is like a clear spring at this moment, leaving no traces.

If you are in a dream in the clouds like this, then the time will pass exceptionally quickly. Ji Ruochen only felt that not long after Yuxuan Zhenren gave a lecture, it was already dusk.

The salute to Yuxuan Zhenren was finished, and Ji Ruochen slowly walked out of the house reluctantly. Until this moment, he was a little unsure whether the woman hidden in the hookah beside him was real, or just his spring dream.

Ji Ruochen stopped abruptly and looked back. Yu Xuan Zhenren was slowly walking into the distance, and a faint cloud of smoke always rose under the feet of the woman who followed behind her, and gradually moved away like a foothold, not that smoke, but who was it?

Only then did Ji Ruochen dare to be sure that what he saw was a real dream, and he felt a burst of joy and panic in his heart. The faint clouds and smoke were so faint that it seemed as if a gust of mountain wind would dissipate without a trace. He suddenly remembered that there would be Yuxuan Zhenren's homework tomorrow, and his heart was overjoyed.

Ji Ruochen stared at Yuxuan Zhenren and Hanyan in the distance, and then sped up his pace and ran towards Taichang Palace.

Yu Xuan Zhenren in the distance waved the dust in his hand at this time, smiled slightly, and said, "Seeing that Ji Ruochen is very interested in you, I really didn't expect it to be so smooth." But with smoke, you can't ignore it in the future, lest you waste all your efforts. ”

Hanyan was silent for a long time, and then replied in a low voice: "This matter is related to the rise and fall of Danyuan Palace, Master rest assured, Hanyan...... Will do my best. ”

Yuxuan Zhenren sighed and said, "It's best if you can have this heart." Hanyan, I know that this matter is very difficult for you, but you are the most outstanding disciple in my palace, and you are the most suitable. Besides, what my generation of cultivators have sought all their lives is nothing more than the righteous results of the Great Dao. If you can have a relationship with Ruochen, it will not be difficult to succeed in the future. This...... Even if it's a compensation for you. After returning to the palace, you can rest well, and you will have a day of homework tomorrow!"

Ji Ruochen walked briskly all the way, and soon saw the rope bridge in the distance. The Cloud Wind Dao Leader was already standing there, waiting to escort him across the bridge. When he saw Yunfeng Dao from afar, Ji Ruochen suddenly woke up like a dream, and let out a soft "ah".

It was only at this time that he realized that he hadn't listened to a single word of the coursework taught by Yu Xuanzhen just now, and when he thought about it, his mind was completely blank, only a smile with a smile, and his gestures were deep in his heart.

"Why, have you forgotten something? It's okay, I'll just pick it up with you. "Yunfeng Dao is humane.

"Oh, no, I just remembered that there was one more homework I hadn't done. Senior Brother Yunfeng, let's go back to Taichang Palace. ”

Yunfeng Dao Chang smiled and said, "Ruochen, it's a good thing for you to be diligent in your cultivation, but you can't be in a hurry. The three pure magic tips are the first thing to realize, and in many cases, diligent cultivation may not be effective. ”

Ji Ruochen nodded in response, but he felt extremely puzzled in his heart, not understanding why he was so fascinated by the woman in the smoke and water, and even the schoolwork he had always concentrated on was wasted. Thinking of abandoning his schoolwork, Ji Ruochen suddenly remembered Luo Feng.

The immortal, extraordinary fat sheep seemed to be sneering at him in the dark, and then shouted: "Little thief!

Ji Ruochen's whole body trembled, and in an instant, cold sweat covered his body, his feet slipped, and he fell towards the abyss under the chain bridge! Yun Fengdao flew down diagonally, picked up Ji Ruochen, and pulled him back to the rope bridge.

Ji Ruochen collected his thoughts, and while fighting against the rapid and slow mountain wind, he walked forward along the rope bridge step by step. But he didn't take two steps, and he couldn't help but think: "It is said that after a person dies unjustly, he may turn into a powerful ghost and ask for his life, and that fairy fat sheep is knocked over by my stick, will he also come to me to pay for his life? But it's really bad, I actually wasted a day's schoolwork! If things are revealed in the future, how can I escape from Xixuan Mountain! Ji Ruochen, ah Ji Ruochen, with a knife on your head, your life will be lost, and you are still so idle! If you go on like this, what is the difference between you and those fat sheep? The shopkeeper has long said that cheating fat sheep can only be deceived for a while, so you must be quick and accurate in beating the stick. Even the fat sheep have not been deceived for a long time, and the real people are all supernatural, do you really think that you can hide from the world for a lifetime?"

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his feet went limp, and he almost fell off the rope bridge again. As for the girl who was like water and smoke, she had already been washed thousands of miles away by boundless fear.

But this is already an eventful time.

The next day, it was still Yuxuan's real person teaching, and Ji Ruochen walked into the Jingshe with a little restlessness. He hadn't heard anything from Yu Xuan Zhenren yesterday, so he just practiced hard all night. Fortunately, Yuxuan Zhenren did not ask for the details of his homework, but just asked him to sit down next to Hanyan and began to preach and teach on his own.

As soon as Ji Ruochen sat down, he greeted him with a smile and greeted him like yesterday. When she leaned over and lowered her head, Ji Ruochen suddenly felt that the water in front of her was rippling, and the smoke was blurred, and her face was hidden again. Faintly, another wisp of dark incense wafted in, and the wisps soaked into his heart and lungs, making his uncompetitive heart beat wildly again.

This time, Ji Ruochen was still a little sober, and he was busy returning the salute, and he finally did not make a fool of himself. After Han Yan performed this salute, he turned around and listened attentively to Yu Xuanzhen's teachings, and did not look at this side again. But Ji Ruochen couldn't calm down no matter what, although he no longer knew what Yu Xuanzhen was talking about like yesterday, but every once in a while, he would involuntarily sneak a glance at the smoke. He was sitting precariously, not daring to look at it more, but as long as there was a corner of her clothes in the corner of his eye, and a jade finger, his heart would beat wildly.

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk again.

Ji Ruochen watched Yu Xuan Zhenren and Hanyan's figures disappear into the twilight, and then turned around and walked towards the rope bridge leading to Taichang Palace. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly woke up from a dream and exclaimed to himself, only to realize that he had wasted a whole day. He panicked and threw the smoke out of the clouds.

The next day was the time for the true person to teach, and on this day, Ji Ruochen redoubled his efforts, bent on making up for the wasted time of the previous two days. Gu Shouzhen Zhenren was extremely satisfied, and at the end of the classwork, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Ruochen, I see that your true yuan has already begun to have a foundation, and you have also comprehended the innate hexagrams. Tomorrow, you remember to bring that pair of amethyst hexagrams, it is not only a fortune telling, but also a set of magic weapons that are not weak. The most rare thing is that it integrates offense and defense, and it doesn't require much real yuan, which is just right for you. As long as you are familiar with this pair of hexagrams, it will not be difficult to overwhelm the disciples of his lineage during the small test. ”

Ji Ruochen was taken aback, and cold sweat poured out like a spring. The amethyst hexagram had already been unintentionally dissociated by him with a palm and swallowed the aura, how could he find the same pair now?

Shouzhen Zhenren immediately noticed Ji Ruochen's expression and asked, "What, Ruochen, is there anything difficult about it?"

Ji Ruochen replied stubbornly: "This ...... The disciple didn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Keep the truth and be humane: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Ji Ruochen hesitated for a long time, and then said: "The disciple suddenly found that there were many fewer small items in the room a few days ago, including the amethyst hexagram you gave him. Now out of the sixty-four hexagrams, only one remains. ”

Shouzhen Zhenren raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "There is such a thing?! There are actually chickens and dogs in my sect, and this is worth it! I will tell the Ziqing Zhenren that this matter is not yours, and you can cultivate with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

Ji Ruochen secretly complained, since he kept the true person and asked about the amethyst hexagram, he knew that it was going to be bad. At this time, the matter has become bigger, and he can only bite the bullet to the end.

After saying goodbye to Gu Shouzhen, Ji Ruochen went back to Taichang Palace restlessly. It was past midnight, and the light in his room was not extinguished. On the Tingfeng Pavilion far away from his residence, Yunfeng Dao also stood motionless for half the night, and when the moon passed the middle of the sky, he quietly went downstairs and walked towards the Mingxin Hall of Taichang Palace where Ziyang Zhenren lived.

Ziyang Zhenren did not meditate and rest, he was reading the **** dictionary under the lamp, reading with great interest. Yun Fengdao walked in silently, saluted, and said, "Master......"

"Wait a minute...... Ziyang Zhenren waved his hand, stopped the Yunfeng Dao man, shook his head and read: "I am not a saint, I can learn it." Therefore, I seek the Tao, all of which are not unsupported, and there are thousands of techniques, but only in the heart. Well said, well said. Yunfeng, what's the matter with you?"

Yun Feng said: "The disciple observed Ji Ruochen's demeanor for several days, and finally determined that he had completed his cultivation of the Taiqing Supreme Holy Realm. ”

"Oh?" Ziyang Zhenren raised his head, stroked his beard and smiled: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ruochen for more than half a month, I didn't expect him to enter the country so quickly." Ruochen entered my Daode Sect in September, and it only took more than four months to cultivate the Taiqing Supreme Holy Realm, which is not bad. ”

Yun Feng Dao said: "Master, but he has served the True True True Person's Long Hua Dan and the Ziyun True Person's Huang Ting Sun and Moon Pill, which is very helpful to cultivation, so he will have such an entry." Despite this, he couldn't even compare to Na Mingyun and Li Xuanzhen, and Ji Bingxian broke through the Taiqing Supreme Holy Realm in just one month without any external help, not to mention. Therefore, the disciple thought that Ruochen's true yuan entry was really not quite consistent with his immortal quality. Could there be any problems with this?"

Ziyang Zhenren closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said: "There are ten thousand kinds of people in the world, that is, there are ten thousand laws. It is the same Taoism, some people are easy to go before and then difficult, and some people are difficult before and easy after. What's more, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, how can we figure out this heavenly thing? Don't think nonsense, just do what we have in hand. ”

Yun Feng Dao said, "The disciple has been taught. But...... You have stopped teaching Ruochen recently, what if he refuses to enter the gate wall of my Taichang Palace during the big exam?"

The Purple Yang Dao Elder smiled and said, "Seven real people are so dedicated, how can they still use me? As for four years later...... Yunfeng, everything in the world has cause and effect, if he doesn't want to enter my Taichang Palace, then he can't force it, so let him go. However, at this time, if the dust Zhenyuan does not enter the country well, it is a good thing. ”

Yun Feng was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"

Ziyang Zhenren picked up the Dao Zang again and said, "You go back and think about it, when you think about it, your cultivation will naturally be beneficial." ”
