Over the years, the annual examination has always been a few joys and a few sorrows, and this year is naturally no exception.

In the past few days, Jingxiao has been happy and annoyed. Annoyingly, this year lost to his old opponent Xuanming Palace by a slight margin, and the leader fell aside again. The good thing is that Zhang Yinyin has made great progress in both swordsmanship and Taoism and Zhenyuan cultivation, and he ranks among the top three in the judgment, which really makes Jingxiao's real face shine and a great glory.

However, Zhang Yinyin had no intention of joy, his face was gloomy, and as soon as the annual examination was over, he locked himself in the room and saw no one. The Yahuan disciples sent by Jingxiao Zhenren to visit all let her blow out. Jing Xiao and his wife were surprised, and rushed to comfort their daughter in person, saying that it was normal to lose to Ji Ruochen in the entrance examination, and although the last one to lose was a little wronged, the second and third were actually the same. Moreover, real people can see that in this realm, Zhang Yinyin is only second to Ji Ruochen.

How do you know that the comfort of Jingxiao and his wife is counterproductive, when it comes to Ji Ruochen, Zhang Yinyin is even more strange. But because Zhang Yinyin is getting older, and second, his cultivation has also improved a lot, and he no longer throws things around when he doesn't like in the past, just sits there without saying a word, and then he simply doesn't even eat dinner.

Jing Xiao and his wife were very helpless, and they knew that with their daughter's temper, the more they comforted them at the moment, the worse it was, and they could only give her some quiet time and let her finish her temper. So after instructing the maids to serve the young lady, Jing Xiao and his wife left.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the real people are very busy, just the ushering in and sending between the various veins, the New Year's greetings are already very troublesome, and the exchange of gifts with other sects is even more onerous. Fortunately, the Daode Sect has a vast wall and many disciples, so there is no one to worry about giving gifts and delivering letters. The eight veins are all respected by their identities, and any of them can deal with the heads of other factions, so they share it, and the burden of red tape is not too heavy.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Jingxiao and his wife were going to Yunzhongju and their party, and they came to ask Zhang Yinyin if they wanted to go with them. As Jing Xiao expected, Zhang Yinyin's temper had not yet been straightened out at this time, so he really refused. Jing Xiao Zhenren was not reluctant, he brought ** blue, and brought eight disciples, with a leader, a back, a sword, a incense, a pomp, and a grand head.

Yunzhongju is located in the southwest of Shudi, built on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and faces the Taotao River. The mountains here are extremely high, the valleys are strangely deep, the big rivers are vertical and horizontal, the birds are difficult to cross, and there are no people.

The two sects are far apart, and the road is difficult, even if Jingxiao is really humane, and there are many magic weapons to help control the wind, this back and forth, to say the least, it takes half a month's effort. What's more, in order not to lose face and prestige, he put on a full showmanship, which is even slower.

As soon as Jing Xiaozhen's front foot left the peak, Zhang Yinyin's back foot went out of the room. She first ran to Jingxiao's real residence, blasted all the girls in the room out of the hospital, and then began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, and searched carefully. The Daode Sect has always been peaceful, and the secret attack and theft have only happened since Ji Ruochen went up the mountain. Even if there are really young people, how dare they dare to touch Jingxiao's real residence? Jingxiao's real residence naturally has some organs, but those organs are at most to guard against ordinary disciples, and of course they will not guard against their own daughters.

Zhang Yinyin didn't have much to do, and turned to what he wanted. She put it down with her, and then hastily tidied up the messy room, and called the maids in, and told them to restore everything to its original state, and if there was any difference, break their legs, and then go away.

At the beginning of the night, the toad moon rises. Zhang Yinyin had already eaten enough, and took a few calming pills, but that delicate and clear heart was still beating and uneasy. She simply called for another bottle of spirits, and poured most of the bottle in one go, and in a blink of an eye, her face flushed, her body was hot, and her nervous mood calmed down a lot.

She saw that it was getting late, and finally gritted her teeth and rushed out of the courtyard with her clothes on.

"Yin Yin!"

A call suddenly sounded behind him, although the voice was not loud, but Zhang Yinyin was agitated, and he was also startled at the moment. She looked back and saw that under an ancient tree outside the courtyard gate, there were bright clouds. Although the two of them are both under the Taixuan Palace, they are usually busy with each other, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. At this time, although Mingyun was standing in the dark, his sharp qi came out of his body, and the whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and the sword qi seemed to brighten the shadows under the tree.

When Zhang Yinyin saw it, he knew that the Cloud Dao was deep, and at this time, the true yuan was full and overflowing, so there was such a vision, which was a sign that the cultivation of the Three Pure Truths was about to break through. It's a pity that at this moment, she has no interest in the Mingyun Dao marching realm, she let out a long breath, calmed down, and said impatiently: "Senior Brother Mingyun, why are you here, it scared me!"

Mingyun frowned and said, "Yin Yin, Master Jing Xiao is not here, why did you steal so much wine?" Look at you, you have such a big smell of alcohol, aren't you afraid that Master Ancestor will come back to punish you?"

"We cultivators, drinking such a little wine, we won't be dizzy, we won't mess around, what's the big deal?" Zhang Yinyin disagreed, pouting and said. Looking at Mingyun's disapproving expression, Zhang Yinyin was about to say goodbye, but she seemed to remember something, rolled her eyes, and said, "By the way, Senior Brother Mingyun, tell me to do one thing before my father leaves." I'm afraid I won't be able to do it alone, so come with me!"

Mingyun was stunned, secretly thinking that what he could hand over to Zhang Yinyin was definitely not a big deal, so why did he have to go with him? Besides, just after the annual exam, what could happen on Taixuan Peak? He came here tonight, he had something else to say, but after hesitating for a moment, Fang said: "Yin Yin, in fact, I ...... it."

Zhang Yinyin had something else in his heart, Dai frowned, and said impatiently: "If there is anything to talk about, you come with me now!"

She rushed to the east corner of Taixuan Palace first, but she didn't notice that Mingyun wanted to speak and stopped.

A moment later, Zhang Yinyin had already rushed to a cold side hall at the eastern end of Taixuan Palace. Mingyun was taken aback at the moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhang Yinyin, and said, "Zhenxin Hall is a forbidden place for my sect, and I can't go any further!"

Zhang Yinyin ignored Mingyun and rushed straight to the Zhenxin Palace, when he was about to reach the front of the hall, two thunderbolts suddenly flashed in the air, and then two Gu Cheng appeared out of thin air, staggered in front of her, blocking the way.

It was only at this moment that two figures of armored warriors in black heavy armor emerged from the darkness. One of the soldiers said: "Miss Yin Yin, this place is a forbidden place for my sect, no one is allowed to trespass unless there is a real person's order, Miss Yin Yin, please go back!"

Zhang Yinyin snorted, reached out and took out a jade plate from his arms, handed it to the armorer, and said coldly: "This is my father's order, see that Fu is here in person." Before leaving, he asked me to go into the town heart hall to do business. Can I go in now?"

The two armor soldiers looked at each other, and it was really hard to believe that Jingxiao Zhenren would hand over such a major event as entering the town heart hall to Zhang Yinyin, who had always been arrogant, this was simply child's play. But the jade plate is indeed a real token of Jingxiao. The jade plate can be imitated, but the true yuan breath printed by Jingxiao real people on the jade plate cannot be imitated.

At this time, a soldier asked, "Dare to ask Miss Yin Yin, Jingxiao Zhenren asked you to enter the town heart hall, but what is the matter?"

Zhang Yinyin sneered and said, "Dad let me enter the town heart hall, naturally there is a big secret. I'm afraid your question is not appropriate. ”

The armorer's face was black and purple, and he couldn't speak. What Zhang Yinyin said was right, this sentence was not what he should ask. But if you want to let Zhang Yinyin enter the palace like this, it is always a little inappropriate.

Zhang Yinyin was not in a hurry, just pointed to the bright moon in the sky, and said indifferently: "There is still a moment before what my father explains, you can watch and do it." If Daddy's order isn't big enough for you to let me in, that's fine. When Dad comes back, you can go and tell Dad yourself!"

The two Jiashi have been cultivating since childhood, and they have been practicing for more than 50 years, and their deeds are profound, so they will be appointed to guard such an important place as the Zhenxin Palace. It's just that they have never been out of the Tao Te Sect, but they are not very bright in terms of human feelings. What's more, Jingxiao Zhenren is not known for his temperament, and there must be no trivial matter when it comes to the Zhenxin Palace, if it is really delayed, this crime is not small. Seeing that Mingyun and Zhang Yinyin were coming together, the two armorers believed themselves for three more points. Although Mingyun is young, he is the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Taixuan Peak, he is calm and calm, and he is deeply loved by Jingxiao Zhenren, which is completely different from that Zhang Yinyin.

The two armorers looked at the moonlight and finally let go of the temple door. Zhang Yinyin snorted and said to Mingyun: "Senior Brother Mingyun, you stay here, before I come out, no one is allowed to enter unless the real person of the Eight Veins comes in person!"

Mingyun always faintly felt that something was wrong, and he really couldn't rest assured of her, so he frowned and said, "Yin Yin, I'll go in with you." ”

Zhang Yinyin shook his head and said, "This is not child's play! Dad only ordered me to go in alone, so you can wait here." ”

After that, Zhang Yinyin came to the door of the palace, took out a bronze ancient spoon from his arms, opened the copper lock on the temple door, stepped into the hall, and closed the palace door with his backhand.

Seeing Zhang Yinyin open the copper lock on the door of the palace, the two armorers breathed a sigh of relief. This lock is an extraordinary lock, called the Broken Yue Qiankun Lock, which is invasible by water and fire, difficult to break by sword, and there is only one key between heaven and earth. Since Zhang Yinyin can get the key, what he said is naturally true.

The yin wind in the Zhenxin Hall is continuous, and the gusts of moisture are blowing in the face, and there seem to be two worlds outside the hall. The hall is empty, there are no tables, only a bluestone hall. Strange to say, although the temple looks in disrepair and dilapidated, it is extremely neat and clean, and there is no trace of dust.

Zhang Yinyin stood in the center of the hall, his face gradually turned pale, and several strands of hair quietly floated. She was never afraid of heaven and earth, and she almost wanted to turn around and run out of the hall. She clenched her fists, clenched her silver teeth, and her legs couldn't stop trembling, but she finally suppressed the fear in her heart, and didn't pull her legs and run away. After trembling for a moment, Zhang Yinyin finally understood why he was so afraid.

The hall was lifeless, and there was no insect chirping, no cobwebs, and no life. This Zhenxin Temple was originally a place of death that was extremely quiet and lonely.

Zhang Yinyin recognized the moonlight outside the window, silently recited the mantra a few times, calculated the direction in his heart, and then stepped over one by one bluestones. In the blink of an eye, she had turned around the temple three times, and had stepped on a total of one hundred and eight bluestones. When she stood on the last bluestone, a gray mist rushed by, and the temple was empty.

After being dizzy, Zhang Yinyin found himself standing in the middle of a corridor. The corridor can be run by several people in parallel, and the walls are covered with moss. The moss glows slightly and is the only source of light for the tunnel. Both ends of the corridor are hidden in darkness, with no end in sight.

Zhang Yinyin's jade face was bleak, and her heart was already beating non-stop. She wanted to use real fire to illuminate, but she was afraid that the fire would attract some inexplicable monsters, so she drew her sword in her hand, took out the spell, and groped her way towards the road she was facing, little by little.

Roar!

A huge beast roar suddenly came from the end of the road, and the sound was rolling, rushing along the road like a raging wave. Everywhere the roar went, the walls shook, and stone chips fell one after another.

For a while, Zhang Yinyin only felt that the roar was like thunder and lightning, shaking her ears and her body jumping! She quickly bowed her head and bent down, supporting the ground with her sword, and resisting the fierce wind that accompanied the roar of the beast. But seeing her hair dancing wildly and her clothes flying, she struggled and finally barely stood in place, not swept away by the strong wind.

The roar was fleeting.

In just a moment, Zhang Yinyin's cold sweat was already soaked through his shirt, and this fright was obviously not light. She stood still, biting her lower lip, hesitating for a moment whether to move on or turn back.

But there was no end to the road behind her.

Zhang Yinyin gritted his teeth and walked forward again.

This time only out of more than ten zhang, the road turned a corner, the front suddenly opened, a hall with a radius of ten zhang appeared, there was a row of iron fences at the other end of the hall, and behind the fence was a cell made of black stone. The cell was empty, with no bed or chair, and only a woman stood in the center of the stone room with her back to the corridor.

She was as green as a waterfall, casually draped down, wearing a white dress, and she couldn't find a single ornament on her body.

But the woman didn't need any ornaments.

She is just standing so brightly, and in Ana's posture, there are thousands of charming, thousands of charms and thousands of charms quietly born, rushing to her face, and unconsciously refreshing people's intestines. Her hair, her shoulders, her back, her legs, are all extremely beautiful, and the delicate curves looming on the dress also make people's hearts rise and fall.

Although Zhang Yinyin is a daughter, she was stunned at this time. She only felt that the heaven and earth were like the first break of heavy snow, and there was only one woman standing in the middle of the snowfield.

Faintly, there seemed to be a sound of drumbeats. Zhang Yinyin carefully distinguished, only to realize that it was not a drum sound, but just his own heartbeat.

Quietly, the woman had turned around, and in an instant, it was just like the earth rejuvenating, and the snow melted and the flowers bloomed!

"Are you looking for me?" the woman asked with a light smile, her voice like jade.
