The apprentices who were picked up were cut in vain

not human?Xie Yan immediately took a few steps back, could it be a ghost?

"No." The system said, "You just need to remember that he is an important npc, and you can't let him get hurt."

So, you want me to protect him?But who would have nothing to do to attack a child!

But soon, Xie Yan was severely slapped in the face.

"The fourth form of the Sky Sword Art, bear the brunt of it!"

"The second form of the Sky Sword Art, Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water!"

Before Xie Yan could react, he heard two shouts from the air, and two men dressed as Taoists were attacking Zhu Ming with swords!

"Hey! It turns out that the custom of shouting the name of a move before a sneak attack in martial arts movies is true?"

Xie Yan had just finished complaining, and then thought of the system's prompt, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up! Protect Zhuming! These two utterly devoid of conscience are going to kill children!"

Zhou Guangji had already stopped Zhuming before Xie Yan could shout. He shouted loudly and blocked the Taoist priest's sword with his body. His fierce aura forced the two Taoist priests to take a few steps back.

"Fierce corpse?" The two Taoist priests glanced at each other, then changed their pace and attacked Zhou Guangji.

Following a flash of sword light, a spiritual sword blocked the attack of the two Taoist priests. It was Yun Yiyuan who rushed over. The two Taoist priests looked at Yun Yiyuan, and saw that he was dressed luxuriously, and the spiritual sword was not a common thing. , stopped his hands, took a step back, and said, "Dare to ask why you want to stop us?"

"Huh? You two people who came out of nowhere, come up and kill, we will die if we don't fight back?" Xie Yan came over aggressively, protecting Zhuming like a chicken, "Such a big You can do anything with a child? You have a bad conscience!"

The two Taoist priests looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Seeing Xie Yan's fierceness, they became careful when they spoke, "This... Senior, we are only performing our duties, eliminating demons and defending the Tao. The child you mentioned is a monster. ah."

"Monster?" Yun Yiyuan heard the words, and looked down at Zhuming, who had a calm expression on his face.

"What's the matter with monsters? Could it be that the purpose of your sect is to not distinguish between indiscriminate and indiscriminate, and you will be killed if you are a monster? Let me tell you, you are called racial discrimination! You will be cast aside!" Xie Yan pointed angrily. The two Taoists said.

"The sky sword technique you use is from the Cangjian sect?" Zhou Guangji asked with a sullen face.

"The vicious corpse...can talk?" The two Taoist priests were already stunned by Xie Yan's words, but now they were even more shocked, and quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, we are disciples of the Cangjian Sect Taihe Daoist. "

"Reverend Taihe?" Zhou Guangji asked suspiciously, "Is Reverend Feiluan in the faction now?"

"Feiluan?" The two Taoist priests shook their heads, "I've never heard of it."

"You two are optimistic, this is someone like your master uncle! He is Zhou Guangji, Zhou Guangji knows?" Xie Yan said, seeing the two Taoist priests looking at him suspiciously, as if he was a liar, I felt even more angry, "Don't you two be fake Cangjian faction members, if we find out that you are pretending, I will break your legs immediately!"

"No! Of course not! How could we be counterfeit! We are indeed disciples of the Cangjian Sect, but we started late, only seven years after joining the sect, we may not know much about the things before the sect!" A Taoist hurriedly argued.

"That's right, we're only in the late stage of foundation establishment, and we haven't formed alchemy yet. We won't let us know about many things in the faction!" The other said hastily.

"In the late stage of foundation establishment, did you come out of the mountain to eliminate demons?" Yun Yiyuan's voice was a little cold, "If you meet someone with high morals, aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

When the two Taoist priests heard the words, they faltered and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Take me to see your master." Zhou Guangji's heart is full of doubts at this moment, eager to ask clearly, but after decades, the Cangjian sect feels foggy, and Master Feiluan is the grand elder of the sect, a newcomer The disciples, as well as the sword awarding ceremony, must be attended by Master Feiluan.But these two disciples obviously have swords, but they don't know who the real Feiluan is!

"Have you heard what your uncle said? Still not leading the way?" Xie Yan said fiercely, "Why are you stuck there like a wooden stake?"

The two Taoist priests turned around and led the way with reluctance on their faces. Just as one was about to say something, the other grabbed his wrist and stopped talking.

Yun Yiyuan looked at those two people, moved to Xie Yan's side, and whispered, "Master, be careful, these two people might be cheating."

"I think so too. It's okay. I'll hug Zhuming and see who dares to make a move." Xie Yan picked up Zhuming and followed behind vigilantly.

The mountain was very quiet, only the sound of Xie Yan and the others stepping on the branches and fallen leaves, and the occasional chirping of cicadas.Leaning in Xie Yan's arms, Zhu Ming suddenly said softly, "The appearance of the person is not like yesterday, and the sound of cicadas is like last year. (Note 1)"

"Hey, can you still recite poems?" Xie Yan touched Zhu Ming's little head, and found that his whole body started to feel hot again.

Zhou Guangji turned his head, looked at Zhuming with a complicated expression, and asked, "Who are you...?"

"I'm Zhuming." Zhuming's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. He looked directly at Zhou Guangji's dark pupils without whites, and said, "I can see that you are afraid. Are you really ready? gone back already?"

Before Zhou Guangji could answer, he heard a bang, the two Taoist priests touched some mechanism, and the lush trees receded to the two sides, revealing a long stone step.

"Seniors, you can go to the gate of the sect after walking through the heavenly steps." After the two Taoist priests finished speaking, they walked up the stone steps first, motioning them to follow.

"Climbing the steps to the sky..." Zhou Guangji looked at the stone steps in front of him, and said with some nostalgia, "When I was brought up by the master, I was young, and I thought it could really lead to the sky."

The stone steps seemed difficult to walk, and Xie Yan couldn't continue holding Zhuming, so he had to put him down and stroked Zhuming's head, "You hold my hand, let's walk together."

Zhu Ming nodded and took Xie Yan's hand. Xie Yan was just about to go up when he saw a hand stretched out to him.

"Master, hold me and don't get lost."

That was Yun Yiyuan's hand.

Since the incident happened last night, Xie Yan felt embarrassed and subconsciously avoided Yun Yiyuan. He looked at Yun Yiyuan's hand, hesitated for a moment, but still held it.

Yun Yiyuan's hands were a little cold, which formed a huge contrast with Xie Yan's warm hands all year round. Xie Yan secretly glanced at Yun Yiyuan's side face, and began to get distracted again.

They are all raised by their fathers and mothers. How can some people be so good-looking?Xie Yan remembered Yun Yiyuan's words last night, and his ears felt hot.

"Master, you are not a broken sleeve, are you?"

When Yun Yiyuan said these words last night, he was still smiling slightly, and he still had a trace of laziness when he just woke up, which directly aroused Xie Yan's evil fire, scaring him so much that he ran out all night and did not dare to return to his room.

My little apprentice, if you are really a bodhisattva, don't come here to seduce me, a mortal, as a teacher... as a teacher, you will not be able to hold back!

Xie Yan was thinking wildly, but didn't notice that Yun Yiyuan stopped at some point, Xie Yan almost bumped his head into Yun Yiyuan's back, but fortunately, Zhu Ming held him back.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yan asked, "Why did you stop?"

"Senior Zhou and those two Taoist priests..." Yun Yiyuan turned to look at Xie Yan, "disappeared."

"What?" Xie Yan became anxious, and looked forward. Sure enough, the stone steps in front were covered in a vast white mist, and no one could be seen.

"Are we walking too slowly? Let's walk faster and see if we can catch up with them!" Xie Yan said, ready to speed up, but Yun Yiyuan didn't move.

"No, I was afraid of being cheated, so I kept staring at them and kept a distance. They disappeared very suddenly, as if they disappeared in the blink of an eye." Yun Yiyuan asked Xie Yan, "Are we really Do you want to keep going?"

"Then go back?" Xie Yan looked back, and found that the stone steps behind him were also covered with a vast white mist, and he couldn't see the entrance when he came in, and there was a strange atmosphere.

"This... we won't be stuck in the middle, right? " Xie Yan wailed, "No, it's fine if you can't go to the bathroom, you'll finish your food sooner or later if you stay here!"

"Why don't we ask Zhuming?" Yun Yiyuan looked at Zhuming who was standing there quietly, "The Cangjian Sect is your home, you should know what's going on, right?"

"This is the Cangjian Sect's protection formation. When outsiders enter the sect, the formation will be opened." Zhu Ming said calmly, "But as long as you keep going forward with no distractions, nothing will happen."

"Great, let's go now." Xie Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and found that Yun Yiyuan hadn't moved, and was still staring at Zhuming, wondering what he was thinking.

"What if you have distracting thoughts?" Yun Yiyuan asked.

"Your distracting thoughts will become concrete. If you can't recognize them, you will always get lost on this stone step." Zhu Ming said, looking at Yun Yiyuan, "Do you have any?"

Yun Yiyuan was silent, turned around and walked forward.

Xie Yan was stunned. Now he suddenly thought, how can a normal person not think about anything and just keep going?This stone ladder is so long, walking is boring, I always think about it.

Besides, Xie Yan has too many distracting thoughts in his mind at the moment, and many of them are all charming thoughts about his little apprentice!Xie Yan panicked, and decided to follow his little apprentice closely to avoid being confused by the mist. Thinking of this, he took Zhu Ming's hand and walked forward, wanting to keep up with Yun Yiyuan.

Yun Yiyuan's figure flickered in front of Xie Yan's eyes, Xie Yan's pace unconsciously accelerated, trying to catch up with Yun Yiyuan, when Xie Yan finally caught up, he grabbed his little apprentice's hand, panting He said, "You can't walk slower, are you going to exhaust your master to death?"

Hearing the words, Yun Yiyuan turned around slowly, with a slight smile on his face, and a charm that Xie Yan had never heard in his voice, and said softly:

"Master, do you have unreasonable thoughts about me?"

Xie Yan felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock. His whole body was shocked by Yun Yiyuan. He took a step back trembling, and said, "Brother apprentice...what are you talking about? I...I am your master , how could I..."

But Yun Yiyuan didn't intend to let him go, he saw Yun Yiyuan walked a little towards Xie Yan's direction, took Xie Yan's hand, and pressed it on his lips,

"Master, you wanted to touch this place last night, didn't you?"
