Zhu Huai bid farewell to the people who came to see them off one by one, and boarded the spaceship with his two apprentices.
The spaceship drove away and went straight into the sea of clouds. The figure below gradually became smaller, until it was out of sight, Zhu Huai retracted his gaze and entered the interior of the spaceship.
Due to the long distance and long journey, this trip took a little time, so a small spaceship was used. Zhu Huai's room was on the first floor of the spaceship, and Xie She was next door to him.
The speed of the spaceship is much faster than that of Yujian. Zhu Huai has only entered the Jiangnan area after practicing kung fu for a night.
Xie She knocked on his door and said softly, "Master, we're here."
Zhu Huai opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, adjusted his sleeves a little, and opened the door.
Xie She had already changed out of Qingyuanshan's clothes. He was dressed in black and stood tall and straight at the door. The moment Zhu Huai opened the door, he raised his eyes and smiled at him.
"Let's go." Zhu Huai coughed softly, subconsciously avoiding his gaze.
Ning Jiu also came out of the room at this time, consciously following behind Master and Senior Brother.
The spaceship stayed in the sky above Jiangnan. Because of the magic, the people below couldn't see the spaceship. Zhu Huai went outside and looked down.
There seemed to be no difference between Jiangnan and when they left, but looking around at high altitude, one could find the black demonic energy shrouded in the clouds.
It seems that the magic energy is slowly eroding the spiritual power of the cultivation world.
Zhu Huai frowned. As early as a year ago, more than [-] elders from various sects had set up an enchantment to prevent the evil energy from rushing into the world. Although this enchantment was useful, it was only a temporary measure.
If Qijue Palace intends to break the barrier, it will be extremely troublesome for them to repair it.
Zhu Huai kept this matter in his heart, and when he went back, he would discuss the solution with Yan Guilai and Ziwei.
"Well, I feel a comfortable breath." Evil Yan's lazy voice came from the green stone.
Zhu Huai said in surprise, "You woke up a little early today."
Evil Banquet: "There is a strong demonic energy here, which helps the deity to condense the phantom, so it will naturally wake up... No, why does it sound like you don't want the deity to wake up?"
Zhu Huai smiled and said: "That's not true, don't slander people."
Qingyuan Mountain has not been invaded by demonic energy, and has always been a fairy mountain full of spiritual energy. Evil Banquet sleeps most of the time in order to preserve the demonic energy.
And once out of Qingyuan Mountain, there are many places polluted by demonic energy, especially places with dense crowds, so it's no wonder that Xiyan likes it.
Zhu Huai took out the green stone so that he could inhale the magic energy, and the evil banquet praised him for being a bit conscientious.
The green stone flickered, but after a while, the strong demonic energy around him became weaker. Zhu Huai raised his eyebrows, as if he had found a good way.
Behind him, Ning Jiu tilted his head and asked, "Master, what is this?"
It was the first time for Ning Jiu to see besides Luanxue, there are also stones that are not afraid of demonic energy, and can even absorb it, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.
But Xie She recognized this stone at a glance, the surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly returned to calm.
Zhu Huai smiled, and explained to them truthfully, but did not mention the existence of the evil banquet in the green stone.
After all, he was the notorious Evil Banquet Demon Lord thousands of years ago. Zhu Huai originally didn't want the two apprentices to know too much, and it didn't do much good.
The evil feast was full of magic energy, and the strength to speak was enough, and the sky on that side became clear and bright again. Zhu Huai put away the green stone and said, "Let's go down."
Zhu Huai called out the chaotic snow, and planned to put away the spaceship and go down with the sword. Xie She and Ning Jiu also called out their swords when they saw this.
Luanxue's whispering voice came to Zhu Huai's ears: "I feel other sword spirits..."
The wind blowing in his ears was too loud, covering up Luanxue's whispers, Zhu Huai couldn't hear it clearly, so he didn't care.
They didn't notify Song Xianyi before they came, but the two guards guarding the gate of the Song Mansion quickly recognized Shuang Xuezun and rushed in to report.
After a while, a large group of people came out from the Song family, and Song Xianyi walked in the front, almost jogging out. Seeing Zhu Huai standing in front of the door, he smiled and said, "Master, why don't you say anything? It’s better to come out early to meet him.”
"You don't need to be so troublesome." After Zhu Huai said with a smile, he felt a weight on his legs. Looking down, it was Song Ruanluo, who had grown a lot taller, hanging by his legs, with his small face upturned, with a happy expression on his face. looking at him.
Song Ruanluo held the two small balls, couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and said happily: "Is the master here to see Ruanruan?"
"Yes." Zhu Huai rubbed the top of her soft hair with a smile.
Ruan Ruan was so happy that she jumped up and down several times, turned her head and saw Xie She, her eyes lit up again: "The little brother is here too!"
Xie She's expression softened a little, he nodded slightly, and just when he was about to hug his thigh softly and joyfully, Song Xianyi behind him coughed lightly as a reminder, and told her to stop.
Unable to hold the little brother anymore, Ruan Ruan thought sadly, growing up is really a distressing thing.
Ruan Ruan saw the white-clothed boy next to Xie She, who had never seen him before, and looked at him with wide eyes: "Who is this little brother?"
Only then did Song Xianyi see Ning Jiu standing behind, she was taken aback for a moment, and walked up quickly: "Xiao Jiu?"
Ning Jiu nodded to her, smiled and said, "Senior Sister."
The immature child at the time has now grown into a handsome young man, with light in his eyes and a clear temperament, looking at her with a smile.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Song Xianyi was still a little dazed when she saw Ning Jiu who had changed so much.
Before Mingming left, Ning Jiu was still a soft-spoken young man who would jump up to her with joy when he saw her, but now he has shed his youthful shell, and his whole person has the light of rebirth.
Song Xianyi was happy on the one hand, but also a little sad on the other. Only now did she truly feel that the good old days seemed to have slowly faded away, replaced by a chaotic and restless road ahead.
She sighed quietly and welcomed them into the house.
Since Song Xianyi tried her best to take over as the head of the family, she has never relaxed for a moment, running between the Song family and the outside world every day, guarding the peace of one side.
She is not only assisted by Jing Wenyu, but also guarded by the stone statue left by Zhu Huai, so Jiangnan is already a rare piece of pure land in the south.
With her efforts, the Song family gradually regained its former vitality and became even more unbreakable.
Seeing that the Song family was managed in an orderly manner by Song Xianyi, Zhu Huai felt relieved, and when he came to the main hall of the Song family, Mrs. Song who rushed over after hearing the sound greeted them well, and was coaxed by Song Xianyi to go to rest.
Song Xianyi reported to Zhu Huai what he had discovered recently: "Some time ago, Jiangnan sneaked into several demon cultivators with unknown intentions, and they were all repulsed by our people. The other party didn't like fighting at all, and it seemed that they were just here to spy on us."
Zhu Huai said succinctly: "The usual tricks of Qijue Palace."
These people are very cunning, they will fight if they can beat them, and they will retreat immediately when they can't. Deeply touched.
Song Xianyi frowned, Mingyan's face was full of worry: "Although Jiangcheng has not been set foot by demon cultivators, I heard that in the surrounding towns, many small families have been recruited by Qijue Palace."
"That's really a problem."
The Qijue Palace has already made it clear that it wants to oppose the righteous way. No matter whether it is intimidation or temptation, the small family cannot resist. Although the small family is not to be feared, if they gather together, they can reach a terrifying level.
But what Zhu Huai didn't expect was that Qijue Hall had already stretched out its hand here, and it seemed that there was not much time left before they faced each other head-on.
Zhu Huai and the others still lived in the small courtyard, and Song Xianyi specially asked someone to clean it.
When night fell, Zhu Huai sat on the bed, chatting with Xi Yan.
Evil Yan absorbed the demon energy and was very energetic. He told Zhu Huai about his deeds back then, and Zhu Huai listened very seriously.
Evil Banquet and Righteous Dao used to share the world, with [-] strong generals under his command, sitting on one side of mountains and rivers, if it hadn't been defeated once, the current cultivation world might be in a different situation.
Zhu Huai was very interested in the meeting between him and Immortal King Qitian. Although it was recorded in the book, after all, no one witnessed that earth-shattering battle with their own eyes, so they were vague.
Eyan was silent for a long time before answering his question: "Everyone says that this deity was defeated by him, but in fact..."
Zhu Huai: "Actually, you haven't?"
"...Actually, the deity's head is going to be blown off."
Zhu Huai: "..."
Ei Yan sighed: "But this deity lost willingly, after all, back then, Immortal King Qitian also saved this deity's life."
Zhu Huai became interested and urged him to tell his story.
Then, in his deeply emotional narration, Zhu Huai learned about this unknown story.
Eyan's parents are demon cultivators, so he has been cultivating demon kung fu since he was a child. Because of his excellent talent and aggressiveness, he became famous in the world of comprehension because of his special ability in this skill before he was a hundred years old.He loves challenges, and he prefers to watch the other party being beaten up begging for mercy by him, so his fame also brings troubles for himself.
The two ways of righteousness and evil are incompatible, but the evil cultivator is also in dire straits, and no one is willing to let a threat grow slowly, so the evil banquet was once hunted down to the end.
Once his life was hanging by a thread, if the young Qitian Immortal King hadn't passed by and rescued him, there would be no all-powerful Evil Banquet Mozun in the future.
Because of the grace of saving his life this time, the evil banquet has always been remembered in his heart, even if he later duels with the Qitian Immortal King, he is willing to die.
Ei Yan said: "He saved the life of the deity, and the deity died under his hands, it is not a loss at all."
Zhu Huai nodded: "It's karma, if Immortal King Qitian hadn't saved you then, he wouldn't have made a special trip to kill you later."
Evil banquet: "Yeah hahaha, who told him to be so stupid."
Zhu Huai smiled, Immortal King Qitian was regarded as a god by everyone, and now only Xiyan dared to scold him like that.
Back then, Immortal King Qitian ruled the cultivation world, and everyone prospered under his leadership. During that period, later generations called it the Golden Age.
Later, it was rumored that he ascended to the fairy world, and the era that belonged to him slowly turned over.
Zhu Huai had never met the Qitian Immortal King, but he had heard a lot about his deeds. Seeing that Zhu Huai was deep in thought, the evil banquet stopped talking.
In fact, when mentioning Qitian Immortal King, the mood of the evil feast is also very complicated.
When he woke up, he was not surprised to learn that Qitian had ascended to heaven, but what Eyan never expected was that one day he would be able to see Qitian again from someone else's dream.
This person is none other than Zhu Huai's third apprentice, Ning Jiu.
In the Yueshan Devil's Cave, he peeked into Ning Jiu's dream with a dream butterfly, and heard with his own ears that Ning Jiu called Qi Tian his father.
At first, Eyan thought it was just a person who looked exactly like Qitian, but when he saw that the imprint on the palm of that person was exactly the same as Qitian, the upheaval in his heart could no longer be described in words.
He felt that when he woke up, the world had changed.
But looking at Ning Jiu's appearance, it seems that he doesn't know that his father is the legendary Qitian Immortal King, so Eyan entered Ning Jiu's dream very kindly, and popularized the knowledge for him.
Eyan thought, this deity is really a kind and magnanimous demon deity.
Later, Ning Jiu left his master and went to look for his father, which was also expected by Xiyan. After all, even Xiyan himself wanted to know where the Qitian Immortal King revered by everyone back then was now. place.
***
On the second day, Ruan Ruan arrived at the courtyard where Zhu Huai lived very early, but Mrs. Song couldn't stop her, and Jing Wenyu came with her.
Yesterday, Jing Wenyu was out dealing with matters and couldn't make it back. Today, when he learned that Shuangxue Zun was coming, he specially came to see him.
Seeing Jing Wenyu, Zhu Huai seemed to ask casually, "When will you get married?"
Jing Wenyu's face turned red immediately, and he replied stammeringly: "I, I, can anytime..."
Both of his parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his master. When he came out, he had already obtained the consent of the second elder, which meant that everything was up to him. If Song Xianyi agreed, he was willing to marry her at any time.
Zhu Huai smiled: "Speak in harmony, you are all good children, I believe you can protect her well."
Jing Wenyu nodded gratefully.
Ruan Ruan asked curiously: "What is marriage?"
Zhu Huai turned his head to the side, thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "Marriage means being with your favorite person forever."
"Great!" Ruan Ruan's eyes lit up, she sat on the chair, her two short legs dangled excitedly: "Ruan Ruan likes Shizun the most, and wants to marry Shizun!"
Zhu Huai froze for a moment, then laughed out loud.
Tong Yan Wuji, just take it as a joke, even Jing Wenyu couldn't help laughing, and shook his head with a smile.
Xie She, who happened to come in, heard this sentence, paused, and walked in with his usual expression.
"Master."
Zhu Huai nodded: "Here we are."
They are going to inspect the field today, Xie She and Ning Jiu both came, Jing Wenyu took Ruan Ruan to leave, Ruan Ruan still reluctantly grabbed Zhu Huai's clothes when he left, Xie She gave him a light glance , she subconsciously let go of her hand, and was taken away by Jing Wenyu.
Under the protection of the Song family, Jiangcheng was as lively as ever. Zhu Huai strolled around casually and bought some pastries from Xiangpinju. He suddenly remembered the few Xie family children he met when he came to Jiangcheng last time.
I don't know if that Xie Mosheng was rescued, Zhu Huai really forgot to pay attention to him at that time.
However, if he dared to say such words to Xie She, death would not be a pity, and if Zhu Huai met again, he would really not be relentless.
Zhu Huai exhaled and glanced at Xie She who was beside him.
Xie She was looking at the surrounding streets, and didn't notice that Zhu Huai was looking at him. Who would have thought that Zhu Huai would be fascinated again when he watched, if Ning Jiu hadn't reminded him, he would almost bump into a pedestrian .
Xie She turned his head and protected him behind him, with a smile in his voice: "So careless?"
Zhu Huai smiled, his ears felt slightly hot.
Seeing that they got along harmoniously, Ning Jiu pursed her lips, but her mood was still complicated.
He had that dream again last night, and every detail in the dream was so clear that it made his hair stand on end.
What impressed him most was that in a silent and dark space, on top of the steps made of thousands of bones, his senior brother sat on top, lazily staring sideways at the righteous disciple who was crying and begging for mercy, with the corner of his mouth With a smile on his face.
He often feels in a trance, so when he sees his senior brother in reality, he always has an unreal sense of division.
Turning his head, Xie She was talking with his master, although his expression under the sun was dull, the warmth in his eyes did not seem to be fake.
He let out a deep breath, comforting himself, as long as the situation is prevented from developing to the track of his dream in time, it will definitely not become what he does not want to see.
***
Jiangcheng was peaceful, Zhu Huai and the others took a look around and went back to Song's house. Song Xianyi also talked with Zhu Huai for a while after finishing the matter, but she was too busy, so she was called again shortly after she stayed. Walk.
Zhu Huai looked at the back of Song Xianyi leaving in a hurry, and said with emotion: "It's really not easy to be the head of the family."
They won't stay at Song's house for too long, and they have to go to the next place soon, Annan.
Compared with Jiangnan under the Song family's jurisdiction, Annan was much more chaotic, mainly because of the intricate relationship between Annan's forces.
The big one is of course the Xie family, but many of the small families have already been wooed by the Qijue Palace, so it is strange that there is no chaos in this situation.
The Gu family had already moved away from the Xie family, and the people from Qijue Palace didn't bother them anymore, and gave the Gu family a little time to breathe, otherwise, if this continues, the Patriarch of the Gu family might really die of anger.
Returning to Annan again, it has been many years, Xie She doesn't have any feelings, and the only concern is his mother who is buried here.
She has had an extremely difficult life all her life, and even after her death, she has never had a title.But she is always gentle and cowardly. Xie She loves her and doesn't understand her.
She has been weak all her life, but she can kneel in front of Xie Bi'an and beg him for his future. Perhaps because of the pity of their mother and son, Xie Bi'an took them back to Xie's house, but still did not give them a decent and warm life.In the end, she was tortured and bullied, and she never saw the day when he entered the family tree until she died.
Once, Xie She couldn't touch the memory that was as dark as the sky, as if he had died under that cliff, and what was alive was just an empty shell full of hatred.
But one day, a ray of light suddenly came in, and everything began to come alive again.
The light shone straight into his heart and never left.
After so many years, he has already been relieved, and he has the courage to come back here again.
Zhu Huai accompanied Xie She to visit his mother.
His mother was buried on a small hillside in the outskirts of the city. No one had set foot there for many years. The tomb was covered with weeds, and it was impossible to see where the tombstone was. Xie She pursed his lips and began to clean up without saying a word. He wanted to help, but was stopped by him.
Xie She refused to let Zhu Huai do anything, so Ning Jiu joined in very consciously and sorted out this place together with him.
Zhu Huai put all the cakes he bought at Xiangpinju in front of the stele, and muttered while muttering: "Madam, I don't know if you like sweets or not, Xier and I are on the way, so I only have this for you , I hope you don't dislike it... She'er and I are very good together, you don't need to worry about it, I will take good care of him."
Luan Xue whispered: "Who will take care of whom?"
Zhu Huai: "..." If it weren't for the inappropriate time to draw the sword, he would have stuck/inserted Luanxue into the mud.
Xie She looked at Zhu Huai with soft eyes.
After placing the cakes, Zhu Huai stood up straight, thinking that Xie She had a lot to say to his mother, so he stood away from Ning Jiu to give him some space.
Xie She knelt down in front of the grave and wiped off the dust on the stele with his sleeve.
The words that have been accumulated for so many years, but when I really came to the front, I couldn't say a word. Xie She thought for a long time, and then said: "Mother, I brought the master to see you."
Surrounded by silence, he lowered his eyes, as if thinking for a long time, then raised his head and said, "You once said that you hoped that I could find someone who I could trust with each other for the rest of my life. I found it. When he agrees, I will bring him here again." See you."
As the night fell, the wind blew softly, blowing across his face, like a mother gently stroking his cheek.The color in Xie She's eyes gradually became firmer, and he kowtowed a few more times to the tombstone.
Zhu Huai stood under a tree and looked there from afar, his eyes full of concern.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie She got up and walked towards them.
Zhu Huai opened his lips, but didn't know what to say, Xie She smiled at him: "Let's go."
Seeing that he was not affected, Zhu Huai also nodded, and the master and apprentice walked back.
It is inconvenient to use the spaceship in the city, so they found an inn and lived here temporarily.
After nightfall, Zhu Huai sat on the bed and started practicing. The room was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing was heard.
The moonlight shone in through the thin window screens, and the place was silvery white and cold. After a few breaths, a gust of wind blew in, and Zhu Huai slowly opened his eyes.
He said: "Long time no see, Palace Master."
Still in the same red dress as bright as the sun, the man leaned back, his fox eyes were soft and cold, the moonlight shone on his face, his skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and even the blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible.
The world would never have imagined that this man in red, who looked like an idle man, was the master of the Qijue Palace who turned the cultivation world upside down.
Even Zhu Huai only realized it in retrospect after meeting him that day.
Guan Hongyun sat on the window sill, put one hand on the leg that was stepping on the edge of the window, propped his chin, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Shuang Xuezun remembers me?"
Zhu Huai: "Don't get close to me, we don't know each other well."
Guan Hongyun was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "You are still so unreasonable."
He jumped down from the window sill, sat at the table, and poured himself a cup of tea freely, but didn't drink it. He shook the cup gently with his fingertips. After a while, he said, "I like the tea I gave to your two disciples." Surprised?"
"I like you, uncle." Zhu Huai replied subconsciously, then frowned again: "What surprise?"
Guan Hongyun smiled and said, "Guess."
Zhu Huai frowned: "You released the flame-winged beast on Dragon God Mountain."
Guan Hongyun narrowed his eyes, and smiled even more happily: "It doesn't seem to hurt the brain."
Zhu Huai smiled lightly: "It seems that you were injured that day?"
The day Zhu Huai first arrived, he was seriously injured and was picked up by Xie She. It was thanks to him that the red corner of his clothes in his memory was also a symbol of his identity.
Xie She almost died under the Flame Wing Beast on Longshen Mountain. This alone made Zhu Huai not let him go easily.
Luanxue's sword was radiant, and stabbed in the air, pointing directly at his face, but was blocked by a cloud of black devil energy, and the tip of the sword was not too far away from his face.
Guan Hongyun smiled slightly: "It's not good to fight and kill when we first meet?"
"You call this beating and killing?" Zhu Huai laughed: "This is obviously the father's love and concern for you."
Guan Hongyun's expression froze, and before he could speak again, Luanxue's sword flashed, breaking through the shackles of the demonic energy, and attacked him with all-powerful force.
But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared on the spot, turned into demonic energy and dissipated, causing Luanxue to stab the air.
Zhu Huai said, "Is this the etiquette for you to visit your old father?"
Guan Hongyun appeared behind him, his smile sank a bit: "Don't provoke me, I'm here today, but I have something to tell you."
"If you have anything to say, you can leave it to the ghosts." Zhu Huaike didn't want to have anything to do with him at all, not to mention that they were at odds with each other, and because his gaze on him always made him feel cold and uncomfortable .
After the words fell, Luanxue turned in a different direction, and the radiant sword light was as bright as day in the room.
Guan Hongyun's real body wasn't there, so he couldn't beat Zhu Huai at all in theory. He was scattered several times, and his figure was a lot weaker.
"Don't you want to know what I'm going to say?" Guan Hongyun said.
Zhu Huai: "Ha, if you don't listen, are you angry?"
Guan Hongyun: "..."
He really didn't expect that Zhu Huai's changes would be so great.
They didn't meet many times. When they met for the first time, Zhu Huai beat him up, his face was frosty, his charm was boundless, and his moves were deadly.
If he hadn't used the forbidden technique to escape that time, he would have died in the hands of Master Frost Snow. However, although he didn't die, he was also seriously injured, and it took him a long time to recover. The first thing is to gradually occupy the realm of comprehension.
Hearing that Shuangxuezun's temperament had changed drastically, Guan Hongyun didn't believe it at first, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the rumors were true.
Things get interesting.
The former Shuangxue Zun was so annoying, but now he is much cuter.
Guan Hongyun smiled, and while avoiding Zhu Huai's attack, he said: "If you don't listen, I will say it.
——Don’t you always want to know where Ning Yan is? "
With just this sentence, Zhu Huai's attack stopped firmly in midair, and he frowned: "What did you say?"
"Ning Yan's whereabouts are unknown, I know you Qingyuan Mountain has been looking for her." Seeing that Zhu Huai stopped chasing him, he sat down by the window again, with a big smile and narrowed eyes: "I know, If you want to save her, I will wait for you there in the Misty Grand Canyon in half a month."
After finishing speaking, he threw a paper flower, fell down and turned into a cloud of black mist to disperse along with the wind.
Zhu Huai caught it, his face uncertain.
This paper flower is indeed Ning Yan's masterpiece.
Luanxue returned to his hand, shining light: "Master, are you going?"
"go."
I don't know what conspiracy there is in Qijue Hall, but it is related to Ningyan, so Zhu Huai has to go there no matter what.
***
Ziwei stood at the highest point of Qingyuan Mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, as beautiful as a fairyland, the wind blew his clothes, he frowned slightly, thoughtful.
Beside him, there was another old man with white beard and hair.
The old man looked even older than Ziwei, with one hand behind his back, squinting into the distance, with a calm expression on his face.
The sea of clouds is rolling, the golden glow is brilliant, and all the spiritual power in the world is converging in one direction, which is a rare omen of auspiciousness.
Ziwei recovered from her contemplation, looked sideways at him, and asked, "How about it, Yingge."
The old man named Ying Ge shook his head: "It's not that simple."
The world of comprehension has been experiencing constant anomalies in recent years, not only ferocious beasts and spirit beasts have begun to riot, but also their spiritual power tends to be exhausted, and even the Qijue Temple is causing chaos.
After all, it has been too peaceful here for too long.
Zi Wei frowned: "What about the specific situation, can you figure it out?"
"All living beings are excited and rioting for it. Something big is bound to happen. In fact, I have a faint feeling..." Ying Ge's eyes seemed to be gloomy, and he slightly brushed a cloud with his fingertips, and the cloud immediately disappeared Unfold a picture like an ink painting.
The picture unfolded slowly, and it was indeed a blurry portrait, which seemed to be a man.
Ying Ge said in a low voice: "The cultivation world has been peaceful for a hundred years, perhaps, a new Immortal King is about to usher in..."
He turned his head and said to Ziwei: "Grand Elder, send your apprentice to take a look."
After hearing his words, Ziwei naturally knew the importance of the matter, nodded and said: "Don't worry."
***
Zhu Huaiyuan intended to pass the news back to Qingyuan Mountain that he had met the Lord of the Qijue Palace, and that Ning Yan might still be alive, but he first received the paper crane sent by Qingyuan Mountain.
The letter was Ziwei's own handwriting. It said that the northeast direction suddenly burst into golden light yesterday, and occasionally there was a gathering of auras. It may be that a heaven and earth spirit treasure is about to appear in the world. He is worried that the Qijue Palace will do something, so he hopes that Zhu Huai will finish his work. , you can go there.
Zhu Huaiyi summed it up, isn't the end of the northeast direction the Misty Grand Canyon? Could it be that this matter is also related to Guan Hongyun?
You can't lead him to see the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure, can this son be so kind?
Zhu Huai was not sure, but the Misty Grand Canyon must be visited.
Starting from Annan, where they are now, it will take ten days to travel to the Misty Grand Canyon by spaceship. Without further ado, Zhu Huai asked the two apprentices to prepare and set off immediately.
Thousands of years of experience have told everyone in the cultivation world that the gathering of spirit energy is no small matter, either a heaven and earth spirit treasure comes to the world, or a certain powerful tomb secret realm is rediscovered, but the possibility of the latter is much smaller than the former.
Da Neng either ascended to the upper realm, or fell during the tribulation, and the tomb after death turned into a secret realm, and there will be a phenomenon of spiritual energy gathering when the sun reappears.But these great powers are usually not alone. Whether they ascend or fall, everything will be left to their descendants. How can they allow others to mine it?
The reason why Ziwei concluded that there was a heaven and earth spirit treasure appeared was precisely because of this.
Fortunately, the appearance of Guan Hongyun made Zhu Huai know that the center of gravity of Qijue Hall would be placed on this misty Grand Canyon for a while, and his southward patrol could also be put aside for the time being.
The spaceship traveled for three days, and Zhu Huai would occasionally release the evil banquet to inhale the magic energy, not to mention completely clearing the magic energy, but it was also very effective, and the evil banquet was sober for a long time.
On the day when Guan Hongyun came, Xiyan happened to be sleeping, otherwise he would definitely have seen the junior demon cultivator he was talking about, although he was not as handsome as he was back then, but he was barely enough to see.
Eyan exaggerated and exaggerated Guan Hongyun's behavior. He bluntly said that Moxiu had a successor, which made Zhu Huai want to drag him out several times to beat him up. It is just a phantom, and there is absolutely no chance of resurrection in this life.
They went all the way to the northeast, and Zhu Huai spent most of the day in his room to practice, or he just watched the sky from the deck.
The closer you get to the Misty Grand Canyon, the more obvious the golden light in the sky, and Zhu Huai can also feel that there seems to be some kind of suction there, which is guiding them forward.
In his small chat with Eyan, Eyan also casually mentioned that the sign of shining golden light seems a little familiar, but Zhu Huai only regarded it as a monk's instinctive induction of heaven and earth spiritual treasures, and didn't pay much attention to it.
On the way, Zhu Huai and the others also met many people who were also rushing to heaven, earth, and spirit treasures. They were either sects or aristocratic families. A large number of masters rushed in the same direction. In contrast, Zhu Huai's place seemed much deserted, only him and two apprentices.
Zhu Huai would occasionally sit on the deck and eat melon seeds, watching waves of people passing by their spaceship. Most of them knew him, and quite a few came to say hello.
After all, it is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. Whoever obtains it can not only revitalize the sect or family, but if it is recognized by the spiritual treasure, it is just around the corner. The temptation is so great, as long as it is an individual, it will be tempted.
But the closer he got there, the more dignified Ning Jiu's expression became.
If it was the same as in his dream, then the trip to the Misty Grand Canyon, everyone will never return here, and even greater disasters will be triggered.
But Ning Jiu has to go, even if he can persuade everyone, he is probably the only one who can prevent all disasters from happening...
Zhu Huai didn't notice what was wrong with him. It was too boring to stay on the spaceship. He was eating melon seeds and chatting with Ewan Luanxue all day long, and the spaceship was almost turned into a club for the elderly by him.
When Xie She passed by his room occasionally, he could hear him talking to himself from inside, and once thought that Master had some strange illness.
Ten days later, they arrived at the Misty Grand Canyon. The spaceship landed in a forest outside the canyon. When Zhu Huai and others disembarked, many monks from different places had already stationed there.
The golden rays of the sky covered the original sky, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night, but the depths of the woods were still in total darkness. Some monks gathered together in twos and threes, and some started fires in a restored way, not only for keeping warm , also because most of the monsters will deliberately stay away from the fire, they don't want to attract unnecessary fights.
When Zhu Huai passed in front of them, most of them cast reverent glances at him, and some even gave up their seats, wanting him to come here to rest for a while.
The reason why these monks are stationed here instead of entering the canyon immediately is because the canyon is filled with fog at this time, if they go rashly, it is easy to get lost in it.The Misty Grand Canyon got its name from this.
Just one day later, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month, and the fog in the canyon will gradually dissipate, so they can enter at this time, looking for traces of the heaven and earth spirit treasure.
Coincidentally, Zhu Huai actually saw several old acquaintances in the crowd, not only the Xie family thanked Mo, but also the elder of the Wuwang sect who once had a feud with him came, which shows how much they attach importance to this heaven and earth spirit treasure degree.
Xie Mosheng glanced at them, Xu still remembered how embarrassed he was at the beginning, and quickly averted his eyes, not daring to look at them again.
Fenglinggu also sent people this time, and the leader was Rong Zun.
Rong Zun saw Zhu Huai from a long distance away, and came forward to say hello with a smile, as if he had never seen Zhu Huai in eight lifetimes.
He caught a glimpse of Ning Jiu next to Zhu Huai, and was quite surprised: "I heard that Xiao Jiu left you to go out on his own, it seems to be very rewarding."
Rong Zun taught Ning Jiu the cloud floating technique, so he was half of his master, so Ning Jiu saluted him and said with a smile, "Master Rong is good."
"I'm very pleased that I've become more polite." Rong Zun narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Rong Zun called all the clansmen of Fengling Valley over, and everyone took care of each other together, and then a group of half-grown teenagers and girls came. At first glance, they were stunned when they saw Zhu Huai, who was so talented and beautiful. up.
Rong Zun comforted them and said: "Don't look at Shuangxue Zun's beautiful appearance, but he actually reads a set of farewell poems behind his back."
Zhu Huai: "..."
Zhu Huai: "Don't look at your Rong Zun who looks like a benevolent doctor, but is actually wearing red long johns behind his back."
Rong Zun: "???"
The author has something to say: almost [-] words, you should be able to get away with it =W=
Love mud cute~
The spaceship drove away and went straight into the sea of clouds. The figure below gradually became smaller, until it was out of sight, Zhu Huai retracted his gaze and entered the interior of the spaceship.
Due to the long distance and long journey, this trip took a little time, so a small spaceship was used. Zhu Huai's room was on the first floor of the spaceship, and Xie She was next door to him.
The speed of the spaceship is much faster than that of Yujian. Zhu Huai has only entered the Jiangnan area after practicing kung fu for a night.
Xie She knocked on his door and said softly, "Master, we're here."
Zhu Huai opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, adjusted his sleeves a little, and opened the door.
Xie She had already changed out of Qingyuanshan's clothes. He was dressed in black and stood tall and straight at the door. The moment Zhu Huai opened the door, he raised his eyes and smiled at him.
"Let's go." Zhu Huai coughed softly, subconsciously avoiding his gaze.
Ning Jiu also came out of the room at this time, consciously following behind Master and Senior Brother.
The spaceship stayed in the sky above Jiangnan. Because of the magic, the people below couldn't see the spaceship. Zhu Huai went outside and looked down.
There seemed to be no difference between Jiangnan and when they left, but looking around at high altitude, one could find the black demonic energy shrouded in the clouds.
It seems that the magic energy is slowly eroding the spiritual power of the cultivation world.
Zhu Huai frowned. As early as a year ago, more than [-] elders from various sects had set up an enchantment to prevent the evil energy from rushing into the world. Although this enchantment was useful, it was only a temporary measure.
If Qijue Palace intends to break the barrier, it will be extremely troublesome for them to repair it.
Zhu Huai kept this matter in his heart, and when he went back, he would discuss the solution with Yan Guilai and Ziwei.
"Well, I feel a comfortable breath." Evil Yan's lazy voice came from the green stone.
Zhu Huai said in surprise, "You woke up a little early today."
Evil Banquet: "There is a strong demonic energy here, which helps the deity to condense the phantom, so it will naturally wake up... No, why does it sound like you don't want the deity to wake up?"
Zhu Huai smiled and said: "That's not true, don't slander people."
Qingyuan Mountain has not been invaded by demonic energy, and has always been a fairy mountain full of spiritual energy. Evil Banquet sleeps most of the time in order to preserve the demonic energy.
And once out of Qingyuan Mountain, there are many places polluted by demonic energy, especially places with dense crowds, so it's no wonder that Xiyan likes it.
Zhu Huai took out the green stone so that he could inhale the magic energy, and the evil banquet praised him for being a bit conscientious.
The green stone flickered, but after a while, the strong demonic energy around him became weaker. Zhu Huai raised his eyebrows, as if he had found a good way.
Behind him, Ning Jiu tilted his head and asked, "Master, what is this?"
It was the first time for Ning Jiu to see besides Luanxue, there are also stones that are not afraid of demonic energy, and can even absorb it, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.
But Xie She recognized this stone at a glance, the surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly returned to calm.
Zhu Huai smiled, and explained to them truthfully, but did not mention the existence of the evil banquet in the green stone.
After all, he was the notorious Evil Banquet Demon Lord thousands of years ago. Zhu Huai originally didn't want the two apprentices to know too much, and it didn't do much good.
The evil feast was full of magic energy, and the strength to speak was enough, and the sky on that side became clear and bright again. Zhu Huai put away the green stone and said, "Let's go down."
Zhu Huai called out the chaotic snow, and planned to put away the spaceship and go down with the sword. Xie She and Ning Jiu also called out their swords when they saw this.
Luanxue's whispering voice came to Zhu Huai's ears: "I feel other sword spirits..."
The wind blowing in his ears was too loud, covering up Luanxue's whispers, Zhu Huai couldn't hear it clearly, so he didn't care.
They didn't notify Song Xianyi before they came, but the two guards guarding the gate of the Song Mansion quickly recognized Shuang Xuezun and rushed in to report.
After a while, a large group of people came out from the Song family, and Song Xianyi walked in the front, almost jogging out. Seeing Zhu Huai standing in front of the door, he smiled and said, "Master, why don't you say anything? It’s better to come out early to meet him.”
"You don't need to be so troublesome." After Zhu Huai said with a smile, he felt a weight on his legs. Looking down, it was Song Ruanluo, who had grown a lot taller, hanging by his legs, with his small face upturned, with a happy expression on his face. looking at him.
Song Ruanluo held the two small balls, couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and said happily: "Is the master here to see Ruanruan?"
"Yes." Zhu Huai rubbed the top of her soft hair with a smile.
Ruan Ruan was so happy that she jumped up and down several times, turned her head and saw Xie She, her eyes lit up again: "The little brother is here too!"
Xie She's expression softened a little, he nodded slightly, and just when he was about to hug his thigh softly and joyfully, Song Xianyi behind him coughed lightly as a reminder, and told her to stop.
Unable to hold the little brother anymore, Ruan Ruan thought sadly, growing up is really a distressing thing.
Ruan Ruan saw the white-clothed boy next to Xie She, who had never seen him before, and looked at him with wide eyes: "Who is this little brother?"
Only then did Song Xianyi see Ning Jiu standing behind, she was taken aback for a moment, and walked up quickly: "Xiao Jiu?"
Ning Jiu nodded to her, smiled and said, "Senior Sister."
The immature child at the time has now grown into a handsome young man, with light in his eyes and a clear temperament, looking at her with a smile.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Song Xianyi was still a little dazed when she saw Ning Jiu who had changed so much.
Before Mingming left, Ning Jiu was still a soft-spoken young man who would jump up to her with joy when he saw her, but now he has shed his youthful shell, and his whole person has the light of rebirth.
Song Xianyi was happy on the one hand, but also a little sad on the other. Only now did she truly feel that the good old days seemed to have slowly faded away, replaced by a chaotic and restless road ahead.
She sighed quietly and welcomed them into the house.
Since Song Xianyi tried her best to take over as the head of the family, she has never relaxed for a moment, running between the Song family and the outside world every day, guarding the peace of one side.
She is not only assisted by Jing Wenyu, but also guarded by the stone statue left by Zhu Huai, so Jiangnan is already a rare piece of pure land in the south.
With her efforts, the Song family gradually regained its former vitality and became even more unbreakable.
Seeing that the Song family was managed in an orderly manner by Song Xianyi, Zhu Huai felt relieved, and when he came to the main hall of the Song family, Mrs. Song who rushed over after hearing the sound greeted them well, and was coaxed by Song Xianyi to go to rest.
Song Xianyi reported to Zhu Huai what he had discovered recently: "Some time ago, Jiangnan sneaked into several demon cultivators with unknown intentions, and they were all repulsed by our people. The other party didn't like fighting at all, and it seemed that they were just here to spy on us."
Zhu Huai said succinctly: "The usual tricks of Qijue Palace."
These people are very cunning, they will fight if they can beat them, and they will retreat immediately when they can't. Deeply touched.
Song Xianyi frowned, Mingyan's face was full of worry: "Although Jiangcheng has not been set foot by demon cultivators, I heard that in the surrounding towns, many small families have been recruited by Qijue Palace."
"That's really a problem."
The Qijue Palace has already made it clear that it wants to oppose the righteous way. No matter whether it is intimidation or temptation, the small family cannot resist. Although the small family is not to be feared, if they gather together, they can reach a terrifying level.
But what Zhu Huai didn't expect was that Qijue Hall had already stretched out its hand here, and it seemed that there was not much time left before they faced each other head-on.
Zhu Huai and the others still lived in the small courtyard, and Song Xianyi specially asked someone to clean it.
When night fell, Zhu Huai sat on the bed, chatting with Xi Yan.
Evil Yan absorbed the demon energy and was very energetic. He told Zhu Huai about his deeds back then, and Zhu Huai listened very seriously.
Evil Banquet and Righteous Dao used to share the world, with [-] strong generals under his command, sitting on one side of mountains and rivers, if it hadn't been defeated once, the current cultivation world might be in a different situation.
Zhu Huai was very interested in the meeting between him and Immortal King Qitian. Although it was recorded in the book, after all, no one witnessed that earth-shattering battle with their own eyes, so they were vague.
Eyan was silent for a long time before answering his question: "Everyone says that this deity was defeated by him, but in fact..."
Zhu Huai: "Actually, you haven't?"
"...Actually, the deity's head is going to be blown off."
Zhu Huai: "..."
Ei Yan sighed: "But this deity lost willingly, after all, back then, Immortal King Qitian also saved this deity's life."
Zhu Huai became interested and urged him to tell his story.
Then, in his deeply emotional narration, Zhu Huai learned about this unknown story.
Eyan's parents are demon cultivators, so he has been cultivating demon kung fu since he was a child. Because of his excellent talent and aggressiveness, he became famous in the world of comprehension because of his special ability in this skill before he was a hundred years old.He loves challenges, and he prefers to watch the other party being beaten up begging for mercy by him, so his fame also brings troubles for himself.
The two ways of righteousness and evil are incompatible, but the evil cultivator is also in dire straits, and no one is willing to let a threat grow slowly, so the evil banquet was once hunted down to the end.
Once his life was hanging by a thread, if the young Qitian Immortal King hadn't passed by and rescued him, there would be no all-powerful Evil Banquet Mozun in the future.
Because of the grace of saving his life this time, the evil banquet has always been remembered in his heart, even if he later duels with the Qitian Immortal King, he is willing to die.
Ei Yan said: "He saved the life of the deity, and the deity died under his hands, it is not a loss at all."
Zhu Huai nodded: "It's karma, if Immortal King Qitian hadn't saved you then, he wouldn't have made a special trip to kill you later."
Evil banquet: "Yeah hahaha, who told him to be so stupid."
Zhu Huai smiled, Immortal King Qitian was regarded as a god by everyone, and now only Xiyan dared to scold him like that.
Back then, Immortal King Qitian ruled the cultivation world, and everyone prospered under his leadership. During that period, later generations called it the Golden Age.
Later, it was rumored that he ascended to the fairy world, and the era that belonged to him slowly turned over.
Zhu Huai had never met the Qitian Immortal King, but he had heard a lot about his deeds. Seeing that Zhu Huai was deep in thought, the evil banquet stopped talking.
In fact, when mentioning Qitian Immortal King, the mood of the evil feast is also very complicated.
When he woke up, he was not surprised to learn that Qitian had ascended to heaven, but what Eyan never expected was that one day he would be able to see Qitian again from someone else's dream.
This person is none other than Zhu Huai's third apprentice, Ning Jiu.
In the Yueshan Devil's Cave, he peeked into Ning Jiu's dream with a dream butterfly, and heard with his own ears that Ning Jiu called Qi Tian his father.
At first, Eyan thought it was just a person who looked exactly like Qitian, but when he saw that the imprint on the palm of that person was exactly the same as Qitian, the upheaval in his heart could no longer be described in words.
He felt that when he woke up, the world had changed.
But looking at Ning Jiu's appearance, it seems that he doesn't know that his father is the legendary Qitian Immortal King, so Eyan entered Ning Jiu's dream very kindly, and popularized the knowledge for him.
Eyan thought, this deity is really a kind and magnanimous demon deity.
Later, Ning Jiu left his master and went to look for his father, which was also expected by Xiyan. After all, even Xiyan himself wanted to know where the Qitian Immortal King revered by everyone back then was now. place.
***
On the second day, Ruan Ruan arrived at the courtyard where Zhu Huai lived very early, but Mrs. Song couldn't stop her, and Jing Wenyu came with her.
Yesterday, Jing Wenyu was out dealing with matters and couldn't make it back. Today, when he learned that Shuangxue Zun was coming, he specially came to see him.
Seeing Jing Wenyu, Zhu Huai seemed to ask casually, "When will you get married?"
Jing Wenyu's face turned red immediately, and he replied stammeringly: "I, I, can anytime..."
Both of his parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his master. When he came out, he had already obtained the consent of the second elder, which meant that everything was up to him. If Song Xianyi agreed, he was willing to marry her at any time.
Zhu Huai smiled: "Speak in harmony, you are all good children, I believe you can protect her well."
Jing Wenyu nodded gratefully.
Ruan Ruan asked curiously: "What is marriage?"
Zhu Huai turned his head to the side, thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "Marriage means being with your favorite person forever."
"Great!" Ruan Ruan's eyes lit up, she sat on the chair, her two short legs dangled excitedly: "Ruan Ruan likes Shizun the most, and wants to marry Shizun!"
Zhu Huai froze for a moment, then laughed out loud.
Tong Yan Wuji, just take it as a joke, even Jing Wenyu couldn't help laughing, and shook his head with a smile.
Xie She, who happened to come in, heard this sentence, paused, and walked in with his usual expression.
"Master."
Zhu Huai nodded: "Here we are."
They are going to inspect the field today, Xie She and Ning Jiu both came, Jing Wenyu took Ruan Ruan to leave, Ruan Ruan still reluctantly grabbed Zhu Huai's clothes when he left, Xie She gave him a light glance , she subconsciously let go of her hand, and was taken away by Jing Wenyu.
Under the protection of the Song family, Jiangcheng was as lively as ever. Zhu Huai strolled around casually and bought some pastries from Xiangpinju. He suddenly remembered the few Xie family children he met when he came to Jiangcheng last time.
I don't know if that Xie Mosheng was rescued, Zhu Huai really forgot to pay attention to him at that time.
However, if he dared to say such words to Xie She, death would not be a pity, and if Zhu Huai met again, he would really not be relentless.
Zhu Huai exhaled and glanced at Xie She who was beside him.
Xie She was looking at the surrounding streets, and didn't notice that Zhu Huai was looking at him. Who would have thought that Zhu Huai would be fascinated again when he watched, if Ning Jiu hadn't reminded him, he would almost bump into a pedestrian .
Xie She turned his head and protected him behind him, with a smile in his voice: "So careless?"
Zhu Huai smiled, his ears felt slightly hot.
Seeing that they got along harmoniously, Ning Jiu pursed her lips, but her mood was still complicated.
He had that dream again last night, and every detail in the dream was so clear that it made his hair stand on end.
What impressed him most was that in a silent and dark space, on top of the steps made of thousands of bones, his senior brother sat on top, lazily staring sideways at the righteous disciple who was crying and begging for mercy, with the corner of his mouth With a smile on his face.
He often feels in a trance, so when he sees his senior brother in reality, he always has an unreal sense of division.
Turning his head, Xie She was talking with his master, although his expression under the sun was dull, the warmth in his eyes did not seem to be fake.
He let out a deep breath, comforting himself, as long as the situation is prevented from developing to the track of his dream in time, it will definitely not become what he does not want to see.
***
Jiangcheng was peaceful, Zhu Huai and the others took a look around and went back to Song's house. Song Xianyi also talked with Zhu Huai for a while after finishing the matter, but she was too busy, so she was called again shortly after she stayed. Walk.
Zhu Huai looked at the back of Song Xianyi leaving in a hurry, and said with emotion: "It's really not easy to be the head of the family."
They won't stay at Song's house for too long, and they have to go to the next place soon, Annan.
Compared with Jiangnan under the Song family's jurisdiction, Annan was much more chaotic, mainly because of the intricate relationship between Annan's forces.
The big one is of course the Xie family, but many of the small families have already been wooed by the Qijue Palace, so it is strange that there is no chaos in this situation.
The Gu family had already moved away from the Xie family, and the people from Qijue Palace didn't bother them anymore, and gave the Gu family a little time to breathe, otherwise, if this continues, the Patriarch of the Gu family might really die of anger.
Returning to Annan again, it has been many years, Xie She doesn't have any feelings, and the only concern is his mother who is buried here.
She has had an extremely difficult life all her life, and even after her death, she has never had a title.But she is always gentle and cowardly. Xie She loves her and doesn't understand her.
She has been weak all her life, but she can kneel in front of Xie Bi'an and beg him for his future. Perhaps because of the pity of their mother and son, Xie Bi'an took them back to Xie's house, but still did not give them a decent and warm life.In the end, she was tortured and bullied, and she never saw the day when he entered the family tree until she died.
Once, Xie She couldn't touch the memory that was as dark as the sky, as if he had died under that cliff, and what was alive was just an empty shell full of hatred.
But one day, a ray of light suddenly came in, and everything began to come alive again.
The light shone straight into his heart and never left.
After so many years, he has already been relieved, and he has the courage to come back here again.
Zhu Huai accompanied Xie She to visit his mother.
His mother was buried on a small hillside in the outskirts of the city. No one had set foot there for many years. The tomb was covered with weeds, and it was impossible to see where the tombstone was. Xie She pursed his lips and began to clean up without saying a word. He wanted to help, but was stopped by him.
Xie She refused to let Zhu Huai do anything, so Ning Jiu joined in very consciously and sorted out this place together with him.
Zhu Huai put all the cakes he bought at Xiangpinju in front of the stele, and muttered while muttering: "Madam, I don't know if you like sweets or not, Xier and I are on the way, so I only have this for you , I hope you don't dislike it... She'er and I are very good together, you don't need to worry about it, I will take good care of him."
Luan Xue whispered: "Who will take care of whom?"
Zhu Huai: "..." If it weren't for the inappropriate time to draw the sword, he would have stuck/inserted Luanxue into the mud.
Xie She looked at Zhu Huai with soft eyes.
After placing the cakes, Zhu Huai stood up straight, thinking that Xie She had a lot to say to his mother, so he stood away from Ning Jiu to give him some space.
Xie She knelt down in front of the grave and wiped off the dust on the stele with his sleeve.
The words that have been accumulated for so many years, but when I really came to the front, I couldn't say a word. Xie She thought for a long time, and then said: "Mother, I brought the master to see you."
Surrounded by silence, he lowered his eyes, as if thinking for a long time, then raised his head and said, "You once said that you hoped that I could find someone who I could trust with each other for the rest of my life. I found it. When he agrees, I will bring him here again." See you."
As the night fell, the wind blew softly, blowing across his face, like a mother gently stroking his cheek.The color in Xie She's eyes gradually became firmer, and he kowtowed a few more times to the tombstone.
Zhu Huai stood under a tree and looked there from afar, his eyes full of concern.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie She got up and walked towards them.
Zhu Huai opened his lips, but didn't know what to say, Xie She smiled at him: "Let's go."
Seeing that he was not affected, Zhu Huai also nodded, and the master and apprentice walked back.
It is inconvenient to use the spaceship in the city, so they found an inn and lived here temporarily.
After nightfall, Zhu Huai sat on the bed and started practicing. The room was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing was heard.
The moonlight shone in through the thin window screens, and the place was silvery white and cold. After a few breaths, a gust of wind blew in, and Zhu Huai slowly opened his eyes.
He said: "Long time no see, Palace Master."
Still in the same red dress as bright as the sun, the man leaned back, his fox eyes were soft and cold, the moonlight shone on his face, his skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and even the blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible.
The world would never have imagined that this man in red, who looked like an idle man, was the master of the Qijue Palace who turned the cultivation world upside down.
Even Zhu Huai only realized it in retrospect after meeting him that day.
Guan Hongyun sat on the window sill, put one hand on the leg that was stepping on the edge of the window, propped his chin, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Shuang Xuezun remembers me?"
Zhu Huai: "Don't get close to me, we don't know each other well."
Guan Hongyun was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "You are still so unreasonable."
He jumped down from the window sill, sat at the table, and poured himself a cup of tea freely, but didn't drink it. He shook the cup gently with his fingertips. After a while, he said, "I like the tea I gave to your two disciples." Surprised?"
"I like you, uncle." Zhu Huai replied subconsciously, then frowned again: "What surprise?"
Guan Hongyun smiled and said, "Guess."
Zhu Huai frowned: "You released the flame-winged beast on Dragon God Mountain."
Guan Hongyun narrowed his eyes, and smiled even more happily: "It doesn't seem to hurt the brain."
Zhu Huai smiled lightly: "It seems that you were injured that day?"
The day Zhu Huai first arrived, he was seriously injured and was picked up by Xie She. It was thanks to him that the red corner of his clothes in his memory was also a symbol of his identity.
Xie She almost died under the Flame Wing Beast on Longshen Mountain. This alone made Zhu Huai not let him go easily.
Luanxue's sword was radiant, and stabbed in the air, pointing directly at his face, but was blocked by a cloud of black devil energy, and the tip of the sword was not too far away from his face.
Guan Hongyun smiled slightly: "It's not good to fight and kill when we first meet?"
"You call this beating and killing?" Zhu Huai laughed: "This is obviously the father's love and concern for you."
Guan Hongyun's expression froze, and before he could speak again, Luanxue's sword flashed, breaking through the shackles of the demonic energy, and attacked him with all-powerful force.
But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared on the spot, turned into demonic energy and dissipated, causing Luanxue to stab the air.
Zhu Huai said, "Is this the etiquette for you to visit your old father?"
Guan Hongyun appeared behind him, his smile sank a bit: "Don't provoke me, I'm here today, but I have something to tell you."
"If you have anything to say, you can leave it to the ghosts." Zhu Huaike didn't want to have anything to do with him at all, not to mention that they were at odds with each other, and because his gaze on him always made him feel cold and uncomfortable .
After the words fell, Luanxue turned in a different direction, and the radiant sword light was as bright as day in the room.
Guan Hongyun's real body wasn't there, so he couldn't beat Zhu Huai at all in theory. He was scattered several times, and his figure was a lot weaker.
"Don't you want to know what I'm going to say?" Guan Hongyun said.
Zhu Huai: "Ha, if you don't listen, are you angry?"
Guan Hongyun: "..."
He really didn't expect that Zhu Huai's changes would be so great.
They didn't meet many times. When they met for the first time, Zhu Huai beat him up, his face was frosty, his charm was boundless, and his moves were deadly.
If he hadn't used the forbidden technique to escape that time, he would have died in the hands of Master Frost Snow. However, although he didn't die, he was also seriously injured, and it took him a long time to recover. The first thing is to gradually occupy the realm of comprehension.
Hearing that Shuangxuezun's temperament had changed drastically, Guan Hongyun didn't believe it at first, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the rumors were true.
Things get interesting.
The former Shuangxue Zun was so annoying, but now he is much cuter.
Guan Hongyun smiled, and while avoiding Zhu Huai's attack, he said: "If you don't listen, I will say it.
——Don’t you always want to know where Ning Yan is? "
With just this sentence, Zhu Huai's attack stopped firmly in midair, and he frowned: "What did you say?"
"Ning Yan's whereabouts are unknown, I know you Qingyuan Mountain has been looking for her." Seeing that Zhu Huai stopped chasing him, he sat down by the window again, with a big smile and narrowed eyes: "I know, If you want to save her, I will wait for you there in the Misty Grand Canyon in half a month."
After finishing speaking, he threw a paper flower, fell down and turned into a cloud of black mist to disperse along with the wind.
Zhu Huai caught it, his face uncertain.
This paper flower is indeed Ning Yan's masterpiece.
Luanxue returned to his hand, shining light: "Master, are you going?"
"go."
I don't know what conspiracy there is in Qijue Hall, but it is related to Ningyan, so Zhu Huai has to go there no matter what.
***
Ziwei stood at the highest point of Qingyuan Mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, as beautiful as a fairyland, the wind blew his clothes, he frowned slightly, thoughtful.
Beside him, there was another old man with white beard and hair.
The old man looked even older than Ziwei, with one hand behind his back, squinting into the distance, with a calm expression on his face.
The sea of clouds is rolling, the golden glow is brilliant, and all the spiritual power in the world is converging in one direction, which is a rare omen of auspiciousness.
Ziwei recovered from her contemplation, looked sideways at him, and asked, "How about it, Yingge."
The old man named Ying Ge shook his head: "It's not that simple."
The world of comprehension has been experiencing constant anomalies in recent years, not only ferocious beasts and spirit beasts have begun to riot, but also their spiritual power tends to be exhausted, and even the Qijue Temple is causing chaos.
After all, it has been too peaceful here for too long.
Zi Wei frowned: "What about the specific situation, can you figure it out?"
"All living beings are excited and rioting for it. Something big is bound to happen. In fact, I have a faint feeling..." Ying Ge's eyes seemed to be gloomy, and he slightly brushed a cloud with his fingertips, and the cloud immediately disappeared Unfold a picture like an ink painting.
The picture unfolded slowly, and it was indeed a blurry portrait, which seemed to be a man.
Ying Ge said in a low voice: "The cultivation world has been peaceful for a hundred years, perhaps, a new Immortal King is about to usher in..."
He turned his head and said to Ziwei: "Grand Elder, send your apprentice to take a look."
After hearing his words, Ziwei naturally knew the importance of the matter, nodded and said: "Don't worry."
***
Zhu Huaiyuan intended to pass the news back to Qingyuan Mountain that he had met the Lord of the Qijue Palace, and that Ning Yan might still be alive, but he first received the paper crane sent by Qingyuan Mountain.
The letter was Ziwei's own handwriting. It said that the northeast direction suddenly burst into golden light yesterday, and occasionally there was a gathering of auras. It may be that a heaven and earth spirit treasure is about to appear in the world. He is worried that the Qijue Palace will do something, so he hopes that Zhu Huai will finish his work. , you can go there.
Zhu Huaiyi summed it up, isn't the end of the northeast direction the Misty Grand Canyon? Could it be that this matter is also related to Guan Hongyun?
You can't lead him to see the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure, can this son be so kind?
Zhu Huai was not sure, but the Misty Grand Canyon must be visited.
Starting from Annan, where they are now, it will take ten days to travel to the Misty Grand Canyon by spaceship. Without further ado, Zhu Huai asked the two apprentices to prepare and set off immediately.
Thousands of years of experience have told everyone in the cultivation world that the gathering of spirit energy is no small matter, either a heaven and earth spirit treasure comes to the world, or a certain powerful tomb secret realm is rediscovered, but the possibility of the latter is much smaller than the former.
Da Neng either ascended to the upper realm, or fell during the tribulation, and the tomb after death turned into a secret realm, and there will be a phenomenon of spiritual energy gathering when the sun reappears.But these great powers are usually not alone. Whether they ascend or fall, everything will be left to their descendants. How can they allow others to mine it?
The reason why Ziwei concluded that there was a heaven and earth spirit treasure appeared was precisely because of this.
Fortunately, the appearance of Guan Hongyun made Zhu Huai know that the center of gravity of Qijue Hall would be placed on this misty Grand Canyon for a while, and his southward patrol could also be put aside for the time being.
The spaceship traveled for three days, and Zhu Huai would occasionally release the evil banquet to inhale the magic energy, not to mention completely clearing the magic energy, but it was also very effective, and the evil banquet was sober for a long time.
On the day when Guan Hongyun came, Xiyan happened to be sleeping, otherwise he would definitely have seen the junior demon cultivator he was talking about, although he was not as handsome as he was back then, but he was barely enough to see.
Eyan exaggerated and exaggerated Guan Hongyun's behavior. He bluntly said that Moxiu had a successor, which made Zhu Huai want to drag him out several times to beat him up. It is just a phantom, and there is absolutely no chance of resurrection in this life.
They went all the way to the northeast, and Zhu Huai spent most of the day in his room to practice, or he just watched the sky from the deck.
The closer you get to the Misty Grand Canyon, the more obvious the golden light in the sky, and Zhu Huai can also feel that there seems to be some kind of suction there, which is guiding them forward.
In his small chat with Eyan, Eyan also casually mentioned that the sign of shining golden light seems a little familiar, but Zhu Huai only regarded it as a monk's instinctive induction of heaven and earth spiritual treasures, and didn't pay much attention to it.
On the way, Zhu Huai and the others also met many people who were also rushing to heaven, earth, and spirit treasures. They were either sects or aristocratic families. A large number of masters rushed in the same direction. In contrast, Zhu Huai's place seemed much deserted, only him and two apprentices.
Zhu Huai would occasionally sit on the deck and eat melon seeds, watching waves of people passing by their spaceship. Most of them knew him, and quite a few came to say hello.
After all, it is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. Whoever obtains it can not only revitalize the sect or family, but if it is recognized by the spiritual treasure, it is just around the corner. The temptation is so great, as long as it is an individual, it will be tempted.
But the closer he got there, the more dignified Ning Jiu's expression became.
If it was the same as in his dream, then the trip to the Misty Grand Canyon, everyone will never return here, and even greater disasters will be triggered.
But Ning Jiu has to go, even if he can persuade everyone, he is probably the only one who can prevent all disasters from happening...
Zhu Huai didn't notice what was wrong with him. It was too boring to stay on the spaceship. He was eating melon seeds and chatting with Ewan Luanxue all day long, and the spaceship was almost turned into a club for the elderly by him.
When Xie She passed by his room occasionally, he could hear him talking to himself from inside, and once thought that Master had some strange illness.
Ten days later, they arrived at the Misty Grand Canyon. The spaceship landed in a forest outside the canyon. When Zhu Huai and others disembarked, many monks from different places had already stationed there.
The golden rays of the sky covered the original sky, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night, but the depths of the woods were still in total darkness. Some monks gathered together in twos and threes, and some started fires in a restored way, not only for keeping warm , also because most of the monsters will deliberately stay away from the fire, they don't want to attract unnecessary fights.
When Zhu Huai passed in front of them, most of them cast reverent glances at him, and some even gave up their seats, wanting him to come here to rest for a while.
The reason why these monks are stationed here instead of entering the canyon immediately is because the canyon is filled with fog at this time, if they go rashly, it is easy to get lost in it.The Misty Grand Canyon got its name from this.
Just one day later, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month, and the fog in the canyon will gradually dissipate, so they can enter at this time, looking for traces of the heaven and earth spirit treasure.
Coincidentally, Zhu Huai actually saw several old acquaintances in the crowd, not only the Xie family thanked Mo, but also the elder of the Wuwang sect who once had a feud with him came, which shows how much they attach importance to this heaven and earth spirit treasure degree.
Xie Mosheng glanced at them, Xu still remembered how embarrassed he was at the beginning, and quickly averted his eyes, not daring to look at them again.
Fenglinggu also sent people this time, and the leader was Rong Zun.
Rong Zun saw Zhu Huai from a long distance away, and came forward to say hello with a smile, as if he had never seen Zhu Huai in eight lifetimes.
He caught a glimpse of Ning Jiu next to Zhu Huai, and was quite surprised: "I heard that Xiao Jiu left you to go out on his own, it seems to be very rewarding."
Rong Zun taught Ning Jiu the cloud floating technique, so he was half of his master, so Ning Jiu saluted him and said with a smile, "Master Rong is good."
"I'm very pleased that I've become more polite." Rong Zun narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Rong Zun called all the clansmen of Fengling Valley over, and everyone took care of each other together, and then a group of half-grown teenagers and girls came. At first glance, they were stunned when they saw Zhu Huai, who was so talented and beautiful. up.
Rong Zun comforted them and said: "Don't look at Shuangxue Zun's beautiful appearance, but he actually reads a set of farewell poems behind his back."
Zhu Huai: "..."
Zhu Huai: "Don't look at your Rong Zun who looks like a benevolent doctor, but is actually wearing red long johns behind his back."
Rong Zun: "???"
The author has something to say: almost [-] words, you should be able to get away with it =W=
