Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Meng Xueli and Jixiao walked side by side, although they were silent, there was a tacit understanding between them.

Everyone in Jing Di's team walked in front, making jokes with the 'Brothers Sanxiu', talking and laughing loudly, in fact, they used chatting to boost their courage.It was the first time for them to experience this kind of thing, and they didn't dare to think deeply about the conspiracy behind it. It would be bragging to say that they were not nervous at all.

However, most people in the practice world are still unaware of the dangerous changes in the depths of the vast sea, and can only imagine the situation of the secret realm competition based on the news brought by the retirees in the early and mid-term of the competition.

The most talked about is always Meng Xueli, the sword master and Taoist couple.Meng Xueli was originally a celebrity. She used to be notorious, but now she is famous.

In the past, people said that he was "beautiful, but it's a pity that he is a vulgar thing", but now people say "it was a match made in heaven, a pair of people, it's a pity..." It's a pity that the real Ji Xiao passed away.

In the past, people said that he was lucky, two good apprentices fell from the sky, one was born with a sword spirit body, and the other became famous in Yanjianping of Hanshan Mountain. When they grow up, they may continue the glory of Changchun Peak and even Hanshan Mountain.Now people say that Yu Qishu and Xiao Tingyun are lucky, because Meng Xueli doesn't use swords, and when he wins the competition and gets the "Chukong Wuya" sword, maybe he will pass it on to his apprentices who practice swords in the future.

Even Han Shan's youngest disciple likes to recall Meng Xueli answering their questions in the lecture hall.

"I have known for a long time that Elder Meng is not an ordinary person. He has a great ability to explain the problem in a simple way and make it easier."

"The most rare thing is that he has a good temper and no airs. Brother Yu is really lucky."

When Zhang Suyuan, who was on the same team as Meng Xueli, was sent back by the master of Ziyan Peak to send a message back to Hanshan, similar discussions reached their peak.

They entered the main hall of the main peak, met the real master, and carefully reported what they saw and heard.

At the end, Zhang Suyuan said cautiously: "Elder Meng is not in danger, he is just worried about the sect."

The head of the sect waved his hands solemnly: "I have received Ziyan's communication talisman, you can go back and recuperate."

He sent a summons talisman to Peak Master Ziyan, ordering her to strictly guard the exit of the secret realm, ready to meet Meng Xueli at any time, and summoned other peak masters to discuss matters.

Peak Lord Chongbi sighed: "It's not easy in the snow. People are trapped in a secret environment, and they still miss the sect. If he is not Ji Xiao Taoist couple, he can live a good life with his own ability. Since he went to Hanshan For three years, he did not care about world affairs, was willing to be unknown, and was not afraid of criticism. It can be seen that he is indifferent. If Ji Xiao hadn't died unexpectedly, he would not have wanted to leave Changchun Peak, but now he is involved in disputes because of his special status..."

Peak Master Liu Lan frowned: "His worries are not unreasonable. If we hear about the changes in the Grand Competition, we will rush to the secret realm rashly. At that time, no one will stay behind on the cold mountain, and the enemy will easily take advantage of it."

Peak Lord Yue Que snorted coldly: "What 'enemy', besides Mingyue Lake, who else is behind the scenes? Am I scolding you?"

The headmaster looked at him with a tangled complexion and complicated eyes, and didn't bother to correct him. Meng Xueli is not a junior, but the same generation as us.

The Ziyan Peak Lord was away, and the four of them had agreed on how to inspect and repair the mountain protection formation, and how to arrange for their own disciples to patrol the mountain on duty, so they went back to the peak to make arrangements.

As for the inside of the sect, the real sect leader felt that Meng Xueli was worrying too much.After the start of the competition in the secret realm, there was news from the Jingsi Valley: the Supreme Elder Daoist Taiheng is about to go into seclusion for a long time.His sons, nephews and descendants were all called into the valley to listen to the training, copy scriptures and pray for him, and did not walk outside the valley.This eased the conflict between the faction of the master of the five peaks of Hanshan Mountain and the faction of the elders of the Taishang, and the whole Hanshan Mountain was filled with the lively atmosphere of spring.

The head master thought: "Recently, there are often news about secret realms, and it would be good for disciples to listen to them. Young disciples competed with outsiders in secret realm competitions, and experienced the cruelty of the practice world. How important is unity."

Whatever you want.Not long after seeing off the peak masters, the main hall welcomed guests again, and it was Zhou Yi, the eldest disciple under the Supreme Elder's seat.

The last time he entered the main hall was on the day of the apprenticeship examination in the Dharma Hall, he was ordered by his master to accept Xiao Tingyun as his apprentice, but Xiao Tingyun paid homage to Changchun Peak, which made him return without success.

The head of the sect stepped forward to meet him: "Junior Brother Zhou, how is Daoist Venerable?"

Zhou Yi nodded and said: "Everything is fine. The master's retreat this time is aimed at prolonging life, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the retreat without twenty or thirty years."

The master was slightly startled: "So long?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "My teacher has some things to worry about, and wants to explain to you face to face, so I invite you to talk about it."

The master's expression gradually eased.Zhou Yi has treated Wu Feng in these years, with an extremely cold attitude, often with cold eyebrows, yin and yang, and it is rare to be as polite as today.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

In the past, when Ji Xiao was there, the elders of the Taishang lived in a secluded valley to hide from the world. When the sect had something to do, they would call the sect master and the peak masters to listen to the training. They liked to put on airs and speak the truth.

The head thought that he would not meet with the other party for the next two to 30 years, and finally let him put on an elder posture, agree with him a few words, and deal with it.This long retreat, maybe the old man finally wanted to open it, so I just passed the steps for him to go down, and persuaded him to let go of the old grievances with Hu Si and Ji Xiao.The whole Hanshan is dedicated to resisting foreign enemies, and there will be no more factional disputes... As he was thinking, he came to the "line of the sky" channel to communicate with the outside world in Jingsi Valley.

Unfortunately, people always make the mistake of judging others by themselves.

……

After Zhang Suyuan and the others left the main hall, Yu Qishu prepared gold silk peach cakes and tea with peach nectar, entertaining them to come to Changchun Peak for a chat.No matter how many rumors about Meng Xueli's bravery and invincibility, he still couldn't feel at ease.

Yu Qishu held the money mouse in her arms: "Three senior brothers, you are on the same team as my master, and it's been really hard for you to take care of each other all the way."

The three of them said they didn't dare: "Be polite. This trip depends on Elder Meng's care."

Yu Qishu asked: "So my brother Meng, cough, I mean my master, what happened to him in the secret realm? It's really like the outside said, what kind of 'moral test' is set for others?"

The three of them were afraid that he would be worried, so they told him interesting things in the secret realm: the casual cultivator who failed to rob Biyun Valley but was robbed, and a field of pine nuts; Elder Meng of Heishuihe pretended to be a fat sheep, and Jingdi who was struck by lightning... ... Hearing Yu Qishu laugh out loud, she secretly envied her. She only hated that she was born at an untimely time, and that she didn't have the chance to compete in the Hanhai Grand Competition.

Happy times are always short.Unconsciously, the sky is getting dark, and the cups and plates are messed up.After seeing off the guests, Yu Qishu breathed a sigh of relief, packed her things, and went to the pond to feed the fish as usual.

The evening breeze is warm, peach blossoms and mice grow naturally in Changchun Peak, and only three koi need his care.

The habit of talking to fish seems to be contagious. Yu Qishu stood by the pool and murmured: "Eat more, I promised the big brother who retreated and the master who traveled to the secret place to take good care of you. Eat a lot and grow up." fat..."

After a while, the koi swung its tail violently, smashing into the moon shadow in the pond, and the water splashed like crystal pearls, splashing Yu Qishu all over her head and body.

The night wind was suddenly cold, and he shivered, wiping off the water stains on his face.I thought to myself that Changchun Peak is like spring all the year round, when it will be cold, and while carefully sensing it, I don’t understand why the cold wind comes from the direction of Jingsi Valley.

He was restless, lying on the edge of the pool and looking down: "What are you dancing again?"

Looking at it, he saw three koi connected end to end, swimming rapidly in a circle, encircling a round of moon shadow in the circle, the strange scene made him speechless.

Yu Qishu's eyes widened: "Ancestor Dao..."

The koi swim faster and faster, the ring instantly forms a rapid vortex, and the airflow rolls up layers of water mist, entraining fallen leaves in the pool, algae, and moss by the pool and splashing upwards, driving strong suction.

In an instant, Changchun Peak shook.

When the water spray hit her face, Yu Qishu lay half of her body on the edge of the pool, and before she could even lift up her true essence, she was brought into the pool by the water spout.

"what happened!"

Yu Qishu choked for breath and fell into the deep pool.

Practitioners have a long breath, and they can temporarily maintain their vitality underwater by relying on the circulation of true energy in their bodies.He struggled to swim, but watched the waterspout on the surface of the pool soar upwards, but his body sank like a mud cow into the sea, sinking without any strength.

Something was wrong, it was clearly a clear pond under a clear sky, how could it be so deep?

He could no longer see the subtle moonlight on the pool surface, and the surrounding cold water surged, making it pitch black, and he could only feel the changes in water pressure to estimate the depth.I don't know how long it has passed, Yu Qishu estimated that he was more than a hundred feet underwater, and a golden light floated in front of him, illuminating a corner of the water.

He was still sinking, his hands desperately trying to grab Jin Guang.Jinguang is a flat sheet with a fishy smell and a slightly greasy touch.The texture seems to be light, but it is extremely hard, and it is as big as the mouth of a bowl. Yu Qishu held it in her hand and looked at it. She felt a little familiar, and suddenly came up with an idea: If this is a small part of a certain beast, it is impossible to imagine a complete beast. How huge.

After a while, he finally realized what it was, his heart sank suddenly, and his body trembled slightly.

It's a scale, the scale of the "koi" in the pond.

"Ow—"

Yu Qishu heard a vague and long voice coming from extremely far underwater.
