Hard to be a master

Guan Jingxuan said with a smile: "This question is really difficult to be a teacher. Yue Qi Xianzun was not born when the teacher was born. The only ones who know the details are the pioneers of the Kunlun Immortal Gate who were at the same time as Yue Qi Xianzun, and Immortal Yue Qi's direct disciple. Your master mentioned it by accident before, only saying that there were some special circumstances when Immortal Yue Qi went through the catastrophe, but she didn't know exactly how. I only know that Immortal Yue Qi should have resisted the sky when he crossed the catastrophe. Lei's, but somehow lost his natal spirit weapon Fenghua sword. Some people speculate that Yue Qi's Fenghua sword was recognized by a drop of blood, so he must bring it with him when he ascends, but there is no similar one before and after him example, so it cannot be confirmed. Ascension is a great event for a monk, and it is strange and embarrassing for Immortal Yue Qi to pass through the kalpa but not ascend, so it is naturally impossible for others to ask him."

After finishing speaking, Guan Jingxuan took a sip of the soup and put a piece of fish into his mouth. After swallowing, he unconsciously licked his lips, not noticing the flicker in the eyes of the apprentice who had been staring at him.

"Xiaoliu's craftsmanship is really getting better and better." After drinking a bowl of soup, Guan Jingxuan sincerely praised a few words, and then said: "Xiaoliu seems to be very interested in inheriting the natal artifact? But as a teacher, I think you Your talent, the future is limitless, from now on your natal spiritual weapon will definitely be a shocking spiritual weapon, it would be a pity to inherit someone else's."

Shen Ziliu handed the grilled fish to Guan Jingxuan, served him another bowl of soup, and said, "The disciple is just curious. It doesn't matter whether it is a natal spiritual weapon, or something else—"

Shen Ziliu looked straight at Guan Jingxuan, and said slowly, "I still like the one that is completely mine."

After a night's rest at the foot of the mountain, both the master and the apprentice felt refreshed. They packed up their tents and bedding early and went up the mountain on foot.Not long after entering the mountain, Shen Ziliu's expression became serious.

When he reached the mountainside, Shen Ziliu suddenly grabbed Guan Jingxuan, and said nervously, "Master, there seems to be something here..."

Guan Jingxuan immediately became alert when he heard the words, and used his spiritual sense to search around for a while, but found nothing unusual, so he asked Shen Ziliu.

Shen Ziliu raised his hand to hold his heart, frowned and said, "After entering the mountain, I feel heart palpitations from time to time, and always feel as if someone is calling me."

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then beamed with joy: "Xiaoliu, I also had a similar feeling when I approached the piece of cold jade forged into my dream for my teacher. Maybe your natal spiritual weapon is in this mountain. Now calm down Concentrate on carefully discerning the location of the 'person' who called you."

Hearing what Guan Jingxuan said, Shen Ziliu naturally had no doubts. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, listening carefully while calming down his noisy heartbeat.Guan Jingxuan pulled Lumeng out of her sleeve, put it to her lips and began to play softly.The soothing sound of the flute spread out softly, like a warm spring breeze blowing by, Shen Ziliu felt that the restlessness in his heart was also smoothed by the sound of the flute, and slowly relaxed his brows.The mood calmed down, and it seemed that even the surroundings were quiet. Not only did the sound of the dream flute not disturb Shen Ziliu, but it also made his five senses more sensitive.

After a while, Shen Ziliu suddenly opened his eyes and turned to the northwest: "Master, it seems to be this way."

Guan Jingxuan smiled slightly, put away his dream and nodded to Shen Ziliu: "Let's go."

The two of them heard the sound of gurgling water not long after walking. Following the sound of the water, they found a mountain stream with a width of one foot. Slow and very clear.

Guan Jingxuan reached out to grab a handful in the water, was caught off guard and shivered for a while, shook his hands and said, "The water is so icy—it must be a mountain stream formed by melting ice and snow. But this season, there are still water on this small mountain. Ice and snow are a bit strange."

Continuing to go up, the trees on the mountain became more and more dense, making the light along the way a little dim, and the cold air in the mountains became heavier.This chill was also different from the usual morning and evening coolness, and the temperature in the entire mountain forest was significantly lower than normal.If it weren't for the spiritual energy overflowing in the forest, and the movement of creatures could be heard from time to time, it would make people suspect that this place is some kind of burial ground filled with sinister energy.

When approaching the top of the mountain, the trees gradually thinned out again, and the temperature became lower and lower.The wind blowing from the top of the mountain was bitter, the ground was damp and wet, moss grew everywhere, and the grass and trees on both sides of the mountain stream were covered with a thin layer of frost.

Both the master and the apprentice unanimously mobilized their spiritual power to walk around the body, re-arranging the protective spiritual energy that had been removed after leaving Kunlun, and isolated the cold air that kept coming.In fact, although the cold air in the mountains is heavy, it is far inferior to the severe cold in Kunlun. Just letting it freeze all the time can easily dull and numb the senses. It is prudent to take some protection.

Soon, the master and apprentice set foot on the top of the mountain, and what appeared in front of them was a large ice lake.The icy lake was half-frozen, with a layer of ice on the surface, which didn't seem to be thick, and groups of black shadows swimming under the ice layer could be vaguely seen from time to time, which seemed to be fish schools or the like.The cold air is constantly overflowing from this icy lake, and it is so frozen that there is no grass growing around it, forming a circle of cold open space along the shore of the lake.

The master and apprentice stopped in the open space by the lake, and did not approach the lake immediately.

Guan Jingxuan looked at Shen Ziliu and said, "Is it here?"

Shen Ziliu probed the frozen lake in front of him with his spiritual sense, frowned and said, "...I don't know, I won't be able to feel anything when I get to the top of the mountain."

Guan Jingxuan walked to the edge of the frozen lake and squatted down, took out a silver stick about a foot thick and long with a thumb that was engraved with complicated and dark lines, tapped it on the ice seemingly casually, and drew a simple runes.After drawing, use a stick to touch the center of the rune, and the whole rune suddenly glows with a faint blue light, and then slowly grows larger like ripples, spreading towards the opposite side of the ice lake.The more it diffused, the blue light became weaker, and when the rune touched the other side of the icy lake, the blue light just disappeared, and the ice surface that Guan Jingxuan scratched with a stick became as smooth as ever, and it was completely impossible to see that he had carved it on it just now. runes.

Guan Jingxuan stood up and said: "This ice lake is not too deep. The center of the lake is about three feet to four feet. The thinnest part of the ice is less than an inch, and the thickest part is no more than half a foot. People have to stand on it. You must use magic to keep your body light. There should be no evil things in the lake, and the aura is very full and pure, especially in the center of the lake. It is estimated that there is something in the center of the lake. As for whether it is your natal spiritual weapon or treasure, you have to Only after seeing it will we know."

It was the first time for Shen Ziliu to see Guan Jingxuan perform this technique, so he couldn't help staring at the stick in his hand with some curiosity, and asked, "What kind of technique did Master just perform?"

Guan Jingxuan handed him the stick in his hand, and said: "It's actually a simple spirit detection technique, but with the help of this magic pen, you don't need to use your own spiritual knowledge, and the scope of detection is wider, and the obtained The results are also more accurate."

Shen Ziliu looked at it over and over with the "stick", and said with a curled lip, "Spiritual pen? This has no beginning and no end, isn't it just a stick?"

Guan Jingxuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Although it doesn't look like it, it is indeed a pen named 'I don't know'. It was a small gadget that your uncle gave me to practice concentration when I was still in Qinghui Palace as a teacher. There is no chance of using it.”

Shen Ziliu pretended to be surprised and said, "Wow, how many treasures did Master hide behind my back? Quickly show them to disciples!"

Guan Jingxuan took the spiritual pen and tapped it lightly on Shen Ziliu's head, and scolded with a smile: "What is hidden behind your back! I have a spiritual weapon for my master. Which one do you want to see that you haven't seen? Although this spiritual pen is It is also a rare item, but it is not very practical. Every time it is used, it needs to be placed in a place with pure aura for a month before it can be used again. Those who pass are not available."

Shen Ziliu rolled his eyes, and said: "This is not applicable, and that is not applicable. Disciples should not call it 'I don't know', but should call it 'Don't'."

Guan Jingxuan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and tapped Shen Ziliu again, then put away his spiritual pen and said: "Look at your disgust, I don't need to ask you if you want it as a teacher. Let's not talk about this for now, it's important to do business, we Let's go to the lake and have a look."

The moment they set foot on the ice lake, both Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu heard a dull sound coming from under the ice, and suddenly a light flickered under the ice in the center of the lake, and the fish that were still swimming leisurely under the ice After the group froze for a moment, they frantically scattered and fled, leaving the center of the lake one after another.

The master and the apprentice looked at each other, and continued to walk towards the center of the lake, but they were all alert.Shen Ziliu pulled out Tunxiang, infused with spiritual power to keep him ready to attack at any time, and Guan Jingxuan also held Lumeng in his hand.

The distance from the edge of the lake to the center of the lake was not far, and there were no emergencies along the way, but the closer they got to the center of the lake, the stronger the light under the ice became, and the more rapid the flickering became.When the two stood still in the middle of the lake, Shen Ziliu knelt down on one knee and put his hand on the ice. Before he could release his spiritual sense to look down, there was a sudden vibration in his mind, and he instantly resonated with the things under the ice. .A voice kept repeating in his mind - let me out!I am here!

Shen Ziliu was refreshed, stood up and said excitedly to Guan Jingxuan, "Master! This is right here! It's in the lake."
