Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

"What are you dancing, you don't want to part with me?" Meng Xueli said to the koi in the pond.

He turned to tell Daotong: "In the last two days, you have finished adding the things you should buy and buy. After I go to the secret realm, you should try not to go out."

Daotong lives at the foot of Changchun Peak, not far from the suspension bridge at the entrance, and has a separate small yard.He didn't ask why, but solemnly nodded and agreed: "Elder Meng, my two senior brothers and I are waiting for you to come back."

The koi suddenly slapped the surface of the water, and the water splashed. Xiaohuai let out a soft cry and backed away.

Meng Xueli is already very proficient at training rats and fish: "Jump again?! Do you want to go to heaven?"

Meng Xueli once asked his big apprentice to feed the fish for him, and since then, the three-tailed koi in the pond has become strange.Whoever gets a little closer to the edge of the pool, they flick their tails bravely, splashing clusters of water, as if they are afraid of something in panic, trying to escape.

Meng Xueli didn't understand the reason, but it was a trivial matter anyway, and it was quite interesting to throw food from a distance.

Speaking of which, although he feeds the koi, he doesn't know their species and origin.Ji Xiao brought it back from outside, the real owner should be Ji Xiao.

……

Early spring in Hanshan starts from the foot of the mountain.

On the rebirth of vegetation in the Dharma Hall, fine wild flowers bloom everywhere.If you look from here, behind the red flowers and green leaves, under the blue sky, there are rolling snow-capped mountains and clouds and mist.

In the lower part of the mountain, the ice and snow melted, and a layer of icicles floated on the surface of the river, undulating with the current.

Birds and animals in the mountains and forests have been dormant throughout the long winter, drilled out of their nests, and left rows of footprints on the soft snow.

The mountain road is slippery, and there are no sweeping boys who are busy sweeping snow in the middle of winter, and there are no longer half-person-high snowdrifts on the side of the road.

Accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds in the forest, the three masters and apprentices of Changchun Peak walked on the mountain path to the main hall of the main peak to attend the meeting held by the head master.

It's the time for the boy to turn his head, like a willow that twitches in spring, every day.

Only Elder Meng seemed to have lost his shape, and was a little shorter than his apprentice.He wears a shining silver cloak and embraces a small and exquisite hand stove.

From a distance, the three of them looked like young masters of aristocratic families, taking two nurses out for a stroll.

Meng Xueli turned her head and said, "After entering the hall, if anyone asks you questions, I'll just answer them. You two just salute and smile."

Ji Xiao smiled: "Yes."

Yu Qishu: "Okay, Brother Meng."

Meng Xueli: "Will you be able to call Brother Meng and Xueli later? Call me Master!"

Meng Xueli originally didn't plan to bring his apprentices, especially Xiao Tingyun.

Different from his bad reputation in the practice world, Xiao Tingyun has received special attention since he entered Cold Mountain.

Moreover, because of Hu Si's "Order of the Saint", everyone knows about this "future successor of the real Ji Xiao".

Fame is a double-edged sword.If you do well and meet the expectations of others, it will be said that you are well-deserved, and that you are worthy of your reputation.If you have a slight deficiency, you will become a fame catcher, and it is hard to live up to the reputation.

Ji Xiao thinks this is normal, and it doesn't matter what people say.

As a master, Meng Xueli worried about him, and didn't want him to be exposed too early and too much to many probing eyes who didn't know good or evil.

But the two apprentices were active and strongly asked to go together.

Ji Xiao: "This is the first time you have participated in a sect gathering since you accepted your apprenticeship. For a formal meeting of this scale, no elder will lead the Taoist boy, and others will be served by direct disciples. Do you want to be alone?"

Yu Qishu: "That's right, we at Changchun Peak cannot live without a meeting."

Meng Xueli thought to herself, the other elders chose a few disciples to follow, but I can only take you two, there is still no meeting.

On the square outside the hall, more than a hundred disciples lined up neatly, dressed in Hanshan Taoist robes, with straight backs and energetic looks, looking forward to the start of the conference.They are about to represent Han Shan in the Secret Realm Competition.

Meng Xueli passed by the crowd and was led into the hall by the chief deacon.The head of the sect and the masters of the peaks have arrived, seeing him smiling lovingly.

"It's snowing, sit here."

"how are things?"

"Very good! Breakthrough?"

Although they are of the same generation in terms of seniority, they feel that Meng Xueli is still young emotionally.

Meng Xueli answered seriously one by one.Ji Xiao felt helpless when he heard it, as if he was also a generation shorter.

Not long after, all the elders took their seats one after another, or two or three, or seven or eight direct disciples stood behind them.One or two of the disciples they each sent to participate in the Grand Competition are standing outside the hall and waiting.

The more people there were in the hall, the less chattering and greetings there was, and the atmosphere tended to be more serious.

Meng Xueli observed secretly, and found that this time was very different from the year-end assessment of accepting apprentices.The elders sitting next to the master of Wufeng and the elders surnamed Zhou or those who are related to the Zhou family seldom talk to each other, as if there is an invisible dividing line.

Others were also looking at the three masters and apprentices of Changchun Peak, in shock and doubt, and sent a voice transmission in private:

"Meng Xueli made a breakthrough? Concentration?"

"If he advances through retreat, he must find someone to protect the Dharma, and he can only find someone outside Changchun Peak. But no one has heard the news."

"I heard that he went to see Qian Yuzhi. Could it be to ask for a panacea?"

Two months ago, Meng Xueli had successfully refined Qi, and there was never any news that he was going to retreat. A while ago, someone was in Impoverished City and saw him taking his disciples shopping and eating at roadside stalls, so it can be seen that he did not retreat.The meeting again this time is in a state of concentration.

Being able to fight across borders and break through easily, could it be said that Meng Xueli is a genius?

This is completely contrary to his inherent impression in people's minds.Some people are more willing to believe that Meng Xueli took the precious elixir to forcibly raise the realm for the Grand Competition of the Vast Sea Secret Realm, which will cause endless troubles.

——When he swore to Ji Xiao's memorial tablet in full view, it turned out that he was not impulsive, but he really wanted to do his best to win the 'Earth Kong Wuya'.It's so embarrassing.

With Meng Xueli's accident in front of him to attract attention, although Xiao Tingyun entered the stage quickly, he was already in the late stage of Qi refining, and he could only say a few words, "As expected, it is worthy of the body of the innate sword spirit, just like the real Jixiao back then" etc. evaluate.

All the elders arrived, and the head of the sect signaled the chief deacon to pass the order.The disciples entered the hall in line and stood neatly in the center of the hall.

The master stood up and glanced at these faces.Every 20 years, there are such a group of outstanding juniors standing here, suppressing their excitement, with eager ambition and self-confidence written on their faces, as if they can't wait to set off immediately.

Some of them, however, will never come back.

The Vast Sea Secret Realm is opened every 20 years. According to the rules of Dabi, only young monks with bone age under 30 years old are allowed to participate.

It was the first time for everyone to enter the secret realm, so they could only refer to the experience taught by their predecessors and the map drawn from memory.

This is an adventure for young people. Everyone is expected to be famous all over the world or buried in yellow sand.

The master said slowly:

"Everyone, you are the most outstanding disciples of Han Shan's younger generation. I believe that you will win honor for Han Shan!"

More than a hundred people responded loudly, and the voice echoed in the tall and wide palace: "I will live up to the trust of my master——"

Hearing that, Meng Xueli also wanted to shout a few words together, but he was an elder, so he had to transmit the voice privately and shouted to the two disciples.

Yu Qishu sighed through voice transmission: "I really want to go to the secret realm too! I was born at the wrong time, and there is no fate."

Meng Xueli comforted him, mainly to comfort the big apprentice: "The cost of studying is to travel down the mountain. The sky and the earth are big, and you travel in the three realms. What is a mere secret place?"

The leader said in a deep voice: "The meaning of the secret realm is to test, not to kill endlessly. I hope you can abide by the rules." One of the rules is not to hurt those who abstain from voting.

The disciples replied: "Keep in mind the instruction—"

In any struggle, there must be damage, but this level of damage is much less than before, allowing the world of human practice to recuperate, leaving spare energy to resist the two worlds of demons and demons.

Waiver is allowed in the secret realm, as long as you wait seven days, you can leave the secret realm through the teleportation array.This is also the plan that the head and the peak masters originally arranged for Meng Xueli.

When there is no Great Sea Secret Realm Competition, the strongmen of various sects compete for unowned resources, each showing their special abilities, dividing mountains and cutting seas at every turn, with great momentum.It is inevitable that blood will flow into rivers and hurt mortals.

The real person in charge nodded and signaled the head deacon to hand out the jade talisman.

The eyes of the disciples became brighter.

The Jade Talisman is the passport to enter the secret realm.The number of places in the secret realm is limited, a total of 2000 yuan jade talisman, one piece per person.

Back then, Master Ji Xiao took the lead to discuss with the representatives of various sects to decide how to allocate the quota.

The six sects with huge roots each account for 150 people, and the remaining middle-level sects and aristocratic families in the human world get even fewer places.There are some small remote sects with only over a hundred members in the entire sect, and only one quota, and they often have to give up because there are no qualified disciples of the right age to participate.Just hang the jade talisman in a business store and resell it, and you can get a lot of money.

The head encouraged everyone again, emphasized the rules, and finally announced:

"Five days later, gather at the square outside the hall at three o'clock, and take the flying magic weapon to the 'Hanhai'. The Lord of Ziyan Peak and Elder Meng of Changchun Peak will walk together as the leading elders."

Although Meng Xueli is about to become the only leader in history who entered the secret realm with his disciples.

Meng Xueli was a little disappointed, and said to the two apprentices through voice transmission: "Oh, I wanted to go by myself, I played all the way, and I happened to be visiting the world."

Ji Xiao comforted through sound transmission: "We are in the same family, the rules have always been like this."

Meng Xueli: "Who sets such boring rules. Who cares about the sky and the earth, and who cares about what other people do? It's insane."

Ji Xiao had a complicated expression: "...it should be your Taoist companion. Prevent someone from placing orders and being robbed of jade charms."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qishu hurriedly advised, "Forget it, Brother Meng."

Meng Xueli thought about it, also, as long as she swears words like 'who made the rules', [-]% of them will be scolded by her Taoist companion.

I can't talk about it in the future.
