Pure Yang Demon Zun is cultivating

"Clang-clang-clang-"

The deep and distant sound of the bell came from the direction of the Sword Discourse Arena on Longshou Peak, heralding the official end of the trial in the Burial Sword Valley.Under the envious eyes of everyone, Gu Ziyan put the Xinghe umbrella back on his back, and it turned back into an ordinary umbrella.

"The fifty disciples who are on the Qingyun list this time, please go to the Taiqing Palace immediately." The shout was as loud as the bell, and it sounded from the high platform at the end of the crowd, but it was clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.

The fifty sun luan had already received the order, and they flew from the mountains in all directions in a blink of an eye.

"Let's go!" Gu Ziyan smiled at the corners of his eyes, jumped into the air with one foot, and turned the blade of the sword in the void with force, and jumped onto a ostrich that hadn't landed very lightly.His movements are flowing and flowing, and his movements are unusually elegant, causing many people to stop and watch.

Led by the ostrich that Gu Ziyan drove first, fifty ostriches flew up to the clouds one after another, heading towards Longshou Peak.All of a sudden, the luan bird sang clear, spread its wings and flew, drawing a very artistic picture under the setting sun.

Luan birds descended one after another in front of the Taiqing Hall. As soon as Gu Ziyan entered the hall, the first thing he saw was not Master Xuanxu who was above the high ranks, but Mo Lian who was sitting on the left side of the stage.He was still dressed in white, sitting there with his eyes slightly closed, as deserted as snowfall.But when Gu Ziyan walked in front of him, his thick ink-like eyelashes moved slightly, and he opened those ice-blue eyes hidden in shadows.

Gu Ziyan has seen this kind of picture countless times in seven years, but he is still shocked by the beauty of that moment every time.

Mo Lian's eyes were so beautiful that Gu Ziyan could hardly find an accurate word to describe them. He even felt that these eyes should not belong to human beings.With just one glance, thousands of star seas can be seen through it, and the layers of deep and bright appearance make people have to fall into it.

"Master, are you really here?" Gu Ziyan pinched himself hard with the hand hidden in his sleeve, before putting away the stunned expression on his face, and asked with a smile on his brow.

The ends of his eyebrows, like the corners of his eyes, are naturally slightly upturned, and now the whole appearance is longer than when he was a child, and this feeling is more obvious.Although the white hair is cold and the Taoist robe is abstinent, but when it is put together with the corners of the eyes and the brows, and the cinnabar on the forehead, it turns into a cold and gorgeous feeling on the contrary.

These two words are contradictory, but they are the most intuitive feeling.

Mo Lian looked at him and said in a low voice, "You don't want to come here as a teacher?"

"How is it possible? I'm afraid that there are too many people today, and Master doesn't like it." Gu Ziyan quickly shook his head, "And I just said it so casually that night, I didn't expect..."

"Really? Master, remember, you didn't say that three days ago."

"I was joking." Gu Ziyan laughed. He had been in Mo Lian's sect for seven years, and after getting acquainted with him, looking at Mo Lian's appearance, he always looked for opportunities to tease him from time to time.After all, his identity has been revealed a long time ago, and he doesn't want to live so seriously every day, besides, he has always been like this, facing unfamiliar people and familiar people completely differently.So three days ago, on the night of the opening of the Burial Sword Valley, he really said on a whim, "If the master doesn't come, I won't get the first place. The master will definitely laugh at me and talk big." There are brothers and sisters to help them cheer up, Master, you have to come to me so I can feel at ease' and so on...

Gu Ziyan felt that he must have been fooled by the snow on the Qianhan Peak to do such a thing in front of Mo Lian. "You are the only disciple in Qianhan Peak, so I really should come." Unprepared, Mo Lian reached out and brushed the white hair scattered on the side of Gu Ziyan's cheek, "Besides, there is such an outstanding disciple, why don't you come and see?" All right." Caught off guard, Gu Ziyan was overwhelmed by this seemingly plain compliment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.Perhaps it was for this reason that his cheeks, which were accidentally brushed by Mo Lian's fingertips, suddenly had a layer of peach blossom-like bright color.

Fortunately, he did take the first place today, otherwise it would be really embarrassing, Gu Ziyan thought to himself.

"Ziyan... Ziyan!"

"Ah?" Gu Ziyan looked back dryly, only to realize that Bai Shu was calling him.

"Come back soon, the head is about to speak." Bai Shu stood at the place closest to the left, and reminded him in a low voice, "If you don't come here again, everyone will look at you."

Before Gu Ziyan could reply, he felt his head being gently caressed by cool palms, and then he heard Mo Lian say: "Go, it's over in a while, I'll take you to see Master."

"Okay." Gu Ziyan raised the corner of his mouth, then turned and returned to the queue of disciples.

As soon as he stood up, he heard Bai Zhu's "tsk tut" beside him. "What's wrong with you? Take medicine if you're sick, don't give up the treatment, okay?" Glancing at Bai Shu, Gu Ziyan always felt that he was being watched by his long and narrow red phoenix eyes, and there was something hairy behind him.

Bai Shu didn't care about what he said, but raised his head and sighed exaggeratedly: "Do you know how many people's hatred your actions just now have caused, some people already dislike you, and you still want to provoke them?" People... tsk, but I appreciate your straightforward character."

"Who am I irritating..." Gu Ziyan stopped talking before finishing his sentence.

Because Bai Shu was already smiling while pointing in a certain direction among the crowd.

Looking in this direction, Gu Ziyan saw a pair of eyes—these were supposed to be bright eyes, but because they were full of negative emotions, Gu Ziyan felt that they couldn't avoid them.Perhaps, Lin Chuxia didn't hide anything, she looked at Gu Ziyan with naked eyes all the time, from the contempt and disdain when they first met, to the later jealousy and resentment, every emotion was clearly written.

It's been seven years, if Lin Chuxia didn't have this expression every time, Gu Ziyan probably would have forgotten what happened before.

"I think you made Su Qiong quite docile, but why can't you handle Lin Chuxia?" Turning his head, Gu Ziyan didn't look like he would look at her for even a second.

Bai Shu sneered: "She's gone crazy. I can find a way to get my temper back for a normal person, but I can't cure a lunatic. Do you know that she told people that she didn't want to die just to avenge the two of us?" I don’t know how to live until today? I don’t even know when the two of us had such a deadly enmity with her.” “What? Didn’t I just let her shut up once?” Gu Ziyan was startled.

"But she felt that her mother was imprisoned for life because of you."

Hearing this, Gu Ziyan was so angry that he almost laughed out loud: "Then according to what she wants, I have to accept Shen Yue's framing? Or if I don't say it, her father wasn't killed by her mother? That makes sense. It's amazing." "You actually want to reason with a lunatic, anyway, if she goes wrong now, she can blame us both, what can I do?" Holding a sapphire flute in his hand, Bai Shu spoke He turned the flute back and forth in his hand, looking a little anxious. "So... this time she was only ranked [-]th, and she fell ill again?" Gu Ziyan curled his lips. If he faced him head-on, he would naturally not be afraid of Lin Chuxia, but the problem is that there is always such a sick person staring at you. , that feeling is really bad. "Actually, your performance just now stimulated her much more than such trivial matters as rankings." Gu Ziyan quit this time: "That's my master, I can do whatever I like, what does it have to do with her?" "Shhh - I know Uncle Mo Lian is your master, please keep your voice down, the head is talking about something." Bai Shu gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to pinch Gu Ziyan's waist, "Say again that she is sick! I don’t understand if you’re sick! Don’t use your normal thinking to speculate on her thoughts. As far as I know, Lin Chuxia tried her best to join Qianhanfeng back then, but at that time everyone knew that Master Mo Lian didn’t accept apprentices, so She had no choice but to give up. But it just so happened that Uncle Mo Lian accepted you as an apprentice in the entrance hall of that class. Later, Lin Chuxia asked her grandfather, Elder Xuan Huai, to talk about it, but there was no result. Since then, she has hated you, so now the closer you are to Uncle Mo Lian, the more she hates you." "Co-author Lin Chuxia thinks that I stole her things? Now all this It's all hers?" Bai Shu nodded with satisfaction: "Congratulations, you finally understand the inner world of a neurotic."

"It's business, don't take the opportunity to laugh at me." Gu Ziyan also pinched Baishu's waist with his backhand. He is a swordsman. Baizhu sucked in air.

It took him all his life to break away Gu Ziyan's pinching hand, Bai Shu rubbed his waist, and added bitterly: "You know that you, a medical student, have the ability to bully me. When you go down the mountain to practice this time, don't Come to see me! By the way, I would like to remind you that this time we go out for training, we will probably be in the same team as Lin Chuxia." "What!?" Gu Ziyan opened his eyes wide, "Tell me what's going on. "Bai Shu was also very surprised: "Don't you know that the top [-] disciples on the Qingyun list will go down the mountain to practice? This has always been a practice, because when the time comes, the famous sword meeting that the whole sect will participate in will also send this group People will participate, so let us go out to hone and hone in advance."

"No one told me?" Gu Ziyan shook his head blankly, "What is the specific content of the experience?"

"So you don't know, so why don't you listen carefully to what the master said. The reason why you asked us to come here is to explain the experience of going down the mountain." Bai Shu tapped Gu Ziyan's head with the sapphire flute in his hand, and smiled again .

Gu Ziyan pushed the sapphire flute away with his palm: "It's not because you insisted on letting me watch Lin Chuxia in the first place, so I didn't have time to listen..."

"Here we come, our team's roster." The expression on Bai Shu's face became serious.

Gu Ziyan didn't dare to mess around any more, and listened almost holding his breath.After all, he didn't want to really go down the mountain with Lin Chuxia, and it would be too miserable if there was such a person who was haunted all the time.

"The fifth team is going to Cangtian State. The disciples are as follows: Gu Ziyan,...Su Qiong, Bai Shu,...Lin Chuxia."

"You crow's mouth." Gu Ziyan turned his head and gave Bai Shu a resentful look.

Bai Shu had expected it a long time ago, so he was still in the mood to tease Gu Ziyan at this time: "I didn't just say this casually. Originally, there are only five teams in this team. Based on the ranking of the few of us , it’s easy to get them together. In short, you’d better be prepared to be bored to death.”

"Ten disciples in each team, led by a teacher above the golden core stage, go to the designated location. Tomorrow morning when the sun rises, gather in front of the heavenly stage. Tonight, everyone should make some preparations and rest early."

After arranging the training, the disciples went back to make preparations.

Gu Ziyan also said goodbye to Bai Shu, and followed Mo Lian to the back mountain of Taihua Xianzong to meet Patriarch Qingyuan.Back Mountain does not have a specific name, but it is called so because it is located at the northernmost end of the entire Taihua Immortal Sect after Longshou Peak.There is a bottomless ditch between Houshan and Longshou Peak, and there is no traffic between the two. In addition, Taihua Xianzong also expressly prohibits trespassing on Houshan, so almost no one comes back here.

So for so many years, except for the head and a few elders, no one knew that Patriarch Qingyuan, who was supposed to have ascended to the upper realm, would live in seclusion again.

When I found Patriarch Qingyuan, the middle-aged man with white beard and hair was fishing in a pond on the mountain.When Gu Ziyan saluted him, he let out a long sigh: "Seeing that this fish is about to take the bait, you are frightened."

Gu Ziyan didn't want to expose him at all, there wasn't even a fish on the hook, it would be a ghost if he caught a fish.But throughout the ages, it seems that the world's high-level people like to use various strange methods to fish.For example, the famous Jiang Taigong can catch fish with a straight hook. Thinking about it this way, maybe Patriarch Qingyuan is also like this?

After handing over the intact Xinghe to Patriarch Qingyuan, Gu Ziyan explained his thoughts.

"You actually found this thing, so you have a heart." Patriarch Qingyuan gently stroked this exquisite umbrella, as if thinking of something, his eyes gradually softened, "Since you found it Well, then as we said before, this thing will naturally belong to you. It is also a good idea for you to temper the sword soul into it, and it happens that you are going down the mountain to practice tomorrow, so let me give you a gift."

"Thank you Patriarch." Gu Ziyan blinked and smiled.

Patriarch Qingyuan was originally one of the best swordsmiths in the Nine Heavens Continent. With him, the fusion of Chixiao Honglian's sword soul and Xinghe Umbrella is absolutely safe.

"I need to rush tonight, so you will stay overnight in the back mountain temporarily. Tomorrow morning, I will pick up my things and go to the Tianjie to meet up." Patriarch Qingyuan stretched out his hand to draw the sword soul out of Gu Ziyan's sea of ​​consciousness, because Gu Ziyan didn't resist, so the process became very easy.Holding two things, Patriarch Qingyuan's figure flickered and disappeared from sight.

Gu Ziyan followed Mo Lian's advice and temporarily stayed in Qingyuan Patriarch's cave and waited.

As the night gradually deepened, Mo Lian had already extinguished the candles in the cave, but Gu Ziyan, who was lying on the stone couch beside him, did not fall asleep.After all, he was going down the mountain tomorrow, and he was divided into a group with Lin Chuxia again. Whether it was excitement or worry, he couldn't fall asleep as usual no matter what.

"Why, can't sleep?" Mo Lian sat on the stone platform opposite the window, the moonlight just fell on his long hair like a crow's feather, and his already deserted face seemed even more untainted by the world.

I don't know what's going on, Gu Ziyan always has the urge to tease Mo Lian when he looks at Mo Lian.So he propped up his chin on his stomach and said mischievously: "Master is not around for so long when I go down the mountain, what should I do if I miss Master? If I encounter something that I can't handle, I feel uneasy now that I am so weak... ..."

Gu Ziyan thought that Mo Lian would probably tell him to 'stop messing around' as before, but Mo Lian didn't say anything this time.Just looking at Gu Ziyan, when he felt something was wrong, Mo Lian suddenly stood up.

His robe fell loose over his shoulders, and his hair was loose, making the contours of his face unusually soft.Such Mo Lian walked to Gu Ziyan's bed, he bent down, and lightly tapped his forehead with his cool fingertips: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

A slightly cool feeling spread on the forehead, and the icy blue light flashed past, forming an invisible sword array.

I don't know why it was a normal action, but Gu Ziyan was almost stunned because of Mo Lian's bending over.It was too close...and he was lying down, so no matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong.Seven years ago, on that night, Mo Lian, who had silver eyes, also bent down, leaving a icy patch on his forehead - but at that time, it was not fingertips that touched, but lips.

"Hmm—Master, I'm going to sleep first!" Gu Ziyan, who was frightened by this strange thought, quickly wrapped up the quilt, turned over and pretended to sleep.

Under the quilt, Gu Ziyan saw darkness in front of him, but he could hear the beating of his heart in silence.He pinched himself violently before stopping, he thought bitterly: Why can't I control my mouth!
