stardust

With a "squeak", the door of the bamboo house was closed.

Dressed in white clothes, a long sword, and a whisk.

With nothing else on him, Xiao Xingchen went down the mountain alone, just like parting from his master and holding the mountain to loose people.

But now it is very different.

When I went down the mountain, there was still the care of the teacher behind me, the lively world in front of my eyes, and the hot blood in my heart.

Now going down the mountain, Yue'er is no longer alive, Xue Yang already has a home, Song Lan is nowhere to be found, and his heart is full of bitterness and bitterness, he doesn't know where to go?

Xiao Xingchen walked very slowly, even slower than when he was blind.

Will there be someone chasing after him and shouting "Uncle, wait a minute"?

Will there be someone beside him smiling and coaxing him, "I lied to you, I'll go shopping for vegetables"?

Will there be someone around who promises "Long world journey, stardust together"?

After Xiao Xingchen found out that he was alive, the road became more difficult.He walked slowly in the world, still with the bright moon and clear wind, still expelling evil spirits, the people he saved thanked him loudly, kowtowed to him, turned around and died in the struggle of the same kind.

Xiao Xingchen suddenly felt very tired, could it be that he was already getting old?

Xiao Xingchen walked to the foot of Mount Taihe unknowingly.

This Mount Taihe is shrouded in clouds and mist, and people in the world say it is a fairy mountain, and many people who practice Taoism have attained enlightenment and ascension here.

Xiao Xingchen has no intention of cultivating immortality, he came down from the immortal mountain, he only wants to be a useful person to the world.

However, he wandered aimlessly, and finally reached the bottom of this mountain. After getting closer, Xiao Xingchen realized that this mountain is really big. What arrived was even thicker, like a pot of steamed buns that just opened the lid, and the mist was billowing.

Xiao Xingchen walked into a small tavern at the foot of the mountain, and said to the shopkeeper, "Treasurer, a pot of tea, two steamed buns, thank you!"

"Guest officer, the wine and steamed buns you asked for. Please use them slowly." A lean man brought Xiao Xingchen the food he wanted, and also a small plate of peanuts. It seemed that the store was very good at business.

Xiao Xingchen just drank the wine he ordered, ate the steamed buns he ordered, and didn't touch the plate of peanuts.

After eating, Xiao Xingchen took out his purse to pay the bill.

"One penny. Thank you for your concern, welcome to come again!" The shopkeeper said enthusiastically, and wrapped up the peanuts and steamed buns and handed them to Xiao Xingchen.

Xiao Xingchen took it over, but did not refuse.

"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you, have there been any evil spirits around here recently? I am a cultivator, and I specialize in eliminating evil spirits." Xiao Xingchen suddenly wanted to talk, so he asked the shopkeeper.

"Evil, there is nothing evil at the foot of Taihe Mountain. After all, this is a fairy mountain. However, I heard a strange thing recently. There is a Taoist temple on this mountain. The Taoist priest and disciples suddenly disappeared, leaving only an empty Taoist temple. Everyone said that they all ascended to immortality, the so-called "one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven". At first, everyone was scrambling to go to that Taoist temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, but ordinary people couldn't get in at all. It seemed that the entire Taoist temple was sealed by spiritual power. Stopped. A few Taoist priests who were a bit wise used spells to force them in, but they ran out of Taihe Mountain in fright. Now everyone dared not go in, and walked around. I don’t know if there are immortals There are still other monsters guarding the Taoist temple. Seeing that you are a fairy, you should be very profound, but I still advise you not to be curious, so as not to be confused by my talkative words. I feel sorry for you. Ha ha." Shopkeeper There are a lot of words, but the mind is still clear.

"Thank you shopkeeper for reminding me, I will play it by ear. What is the name of that Taoist temple? How to get there?" Xiao Xingchen was very bored, so he insisted on taking a look.

"Don't talk too much, and people don't persuade much. Since the Taoist priest is in this line of work, he naturally knows better than us. That Taoist temple is called 'Full Moon Pavilion' because it is the only Taoist temple on the mountain where you can see the full moon. Taoist priest, you go forward Walk about a hundred steps, there is a big road on the right, go straight for about three miles, then turn left and enter a bamboo forest, there is a stone step road through the bamboo forest, you can walk up the stone step road, and you can see the Taoist temple at the end Yes. The gate of the Taoist temple can be entered at will, but the second door inside is sealed by spiritual power, and the entire inner courtyard is sealed by spiritual power. Even if you want to fly down from above, you must use magic power. That's all I know. Here, take this wine with you, it's cold in the mountains, the wine can warm you up and strengthen your courage, if it doesn't work, just come down, it's really nothing..." The shopkeeper started talking.

Xiao Xingchen finally laughed, took the shopkeeper's wine with both hands, handed him a penny, and said softly, "Thank you!" Then he turned around and walked in the direction indicated by the shopkeeper.

According to the shopkeeper, Xiao Xingchen arrived in front of the gate of "Yuanyue Pavilion" without any problems. Outside the gate, he could see a tall wooden attic. Behind the attic was a broken wall. The section of the broken wall was very flat, like It was cut off by a knife or a sword, but I have never heard of such a sharp sword in the world, and it is really strange.

Xiao Xingchen looked at the gate. The wooden gate was already rotten and looked unbearable to push. Through the crack of the gate, one could see an empty field inside. There was a large incense burner in the middle of the field, and a large cedar tree on each side, which grew tall and straight. .

Xiao Xingchen gently opened the door and walked in. Because of the broken wall, there were not many debris on the open space, and it looked clean. Xiao Xingchen walked and observed, although it was daytime, the surrounding area was It is very quiet, and occasionally you can hear the sound of birdsong in the distance.A thick layer of incense ash had accumulated in the big censer, and there was no new incense. It seemed that no one had been there for some time.

Finally reaching the inner door, Xiao Xingchen tried to push the door, but it really couldn't.He chanted a spell, and then poured spiritual power into the Shuanghua Sword, and the Shuanghua Sword flew in from the sky, only heard the sound of "cracking", as if an iron lock fell to the ground, and then the Shuanghua Sword flew from the sky came back.

Xiao Xingchen held the Shuanghua sword, nodded slightly, pushed open the inner door and walked in.

There is a lobby in the middle, and wing rooms on the left and right sides, and the entrance to the attic is still not seen.

The Taishang Laojun is enshrined in the lobby, which is the same as the ordinary Taoist arrangement, the only difference is that there is a staircase on the left.

Xiao Xingchen saluted the Taishang Laojun, then walked towards the stairs, but was about to step on the steps, but couldn't.

It seems really weird.

Xiao Xingchen swung the Shuanghua Sword at the stairs, and there was a "crackling" sound, and then a light leaked from the top of the stairs.

okay.

Xiao Xingchen walked up the stairs, reached the top, turned a corner, and saw a corridor in the sky leading directly to the attic.

Xiao Xingchen stepped onto the corridor without hesitation, and continued to move forward. Halfway there, the corridor suddenly disappeared. Seeing that Xiao Xingchen was about to fall, Xiao Xingchen continued to move forward without any haste. It was already at his feet, helping him advance in the air.

Finally arrived at the attic, there is an Eight Immortals table in the building, a teapot and eight teacups on the table.

Xiao Xingchen sat down nearby, and when he found that there was still tea in the teacup, he smiled slightly.

"What are you laughing at, Master Xiaodao?" An old man's voice sounded.

"He must be laughing that we didn't trap him. He is young, but he has some skill." A young woman's voice.

"Boy, can you play chess?" A middle-aged man's voice sounded, and immediately there was a Go board on the table.

Xiao Xingchen got up and saluted, "Junior Xiao Xingchen pays respects to all seniors. I am also a cultivator, so I know a thing or two about these tricks, so I don't intend to bother you. I really offend you. It's just that I really don't know how to play chess. I hope seniors will be happy." .”

"That's all." The chessboard disappeared with the sound.

"What are you doing here? Is it also for cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal?" the woman asked.

Xiao Xingchen replied respectfully: "Although this junior is cultivating the Tao, he has no intention of becoming a fairy. This junior heard that there might be evil spirits here, so he came here especially to get rid of evil spirits."

"Hahaha... Laojun, did you hear that, he doesn't want to become a fairy, but he is here to get rid of us." The middle-aged man laughed loudly.

"We are not monsters." Laojun retorted.

"Hey, boy, everyone in the world is for profit, and the same is true for cultivating the Tao. You don't cultivate the Tao to become an immortal, but you want to help the world. You know that the fate of the world is destined by heaven. You can't save the whole life if you save it for a while, let alone You yourself have experienced this for a lifetime, and you still want to be so obsessed with it?" Laojun asked.

"Life and death are just my body, my heart has never changed." Xiao Xingchen replied respectfully and firmly.

"...Another stubborn fool, Laojun, let's go back, don't waste time." The woman urged impatiently.

"You guys go first, I'll come after I've enjoyed the moon." Laojun said indifferently.

"Month? But it's broad daylight now..." the young woman laughed.

"Let's go, let's go, Laojun has his own ideas." The middle-aged man persuaded.

Xiao Xingchen looked at the sky outside the building with some doubts.

"It's not in the sky, it's on the stone wall." Laojun said.

Xiao Xingchen heard the words and looked at the stone wall, but there was still nothing there.

Suddenly, a force rushed towards Xiao Xingchen, and the sapphire pendant on Xiao Xingchen flew out immediately, emitting a dazzling light, blocking Xiao Xingchen's front. The sapphire light reflected on the stone wall, and a full moon appeared on the stone wall.

"It turns out that there is a fairy on you, no wonder you can easily enter our enchantment. You should enlighten here, this is your destiny." A bright light flashed, and the attic returned to silence.

Xiao Xingchen flew down to the attic, looked up and saw the three big characters "Yuanyue Pavilion" on the attic, pondered for a while, and used his spiritual power to change the character "Yuan" into the character "Xiao". Xiaoyue Pavilion".
