Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

The stone-cut buildings in the central city have a long history. The hard white stone has been eroded by natural wind and frost and destroyed by magical attacks. The original palaces, halls, corridors and gardens are only ruins, and the complicated patterns on them have long been blurred.

The knowledgeable disciple explained to the curious disciple: "It is said that the secret realm is originally a fragment of space, the cave of the ancient power. The space refinement is used for one's own use, and it is put into the vast sea, and this is how the vast sea competition is created."

Ji Xiao: "Not bad."

The disciple got approval, and the conversation became more intense: "It is said that the underground palace is still intact, and you can get a glimpse of the ancient style. But there is a hidden formation at the entrance of the underground palace, and it seems that no one has found it yet!"

Another person said: "Even if we find it, we dare not go in. There is a mirage beast guarding the depths of the underground palace. I have never seen a mirage beast, but I know after thinking about it. It must be very powerful and as large as a mountain. Why die in vain? Being swallowed by a monster in one gulp, death is meaningless."

All the disciples echoed, this time Ji Xiao was silent.

Meng Xueli didn't say anything, of course he knew that mirages roamed around in the demon world and were most afraid of being beaten.But most of the human race have misunderstood the monster, thinking that if the big monster lives long, it must be ferocious and mighty.In fact, each person has his own destiny, and each monster has its own nature. Among the big monsters, there are also waste beasts.

Unknowingly, the shadow of the sun moved westward, and the brilliant sunset covered half of the sky.The distant mountains, the near water, and the remnants of the ruined halls were covered with a hazy orange-gold light.

A group of young monks talked and laughed loudly, like going on a spring outing or visiting ancient times.

Someone asked: "Elder Meng, you said there is a teleportation array in the central city?"

Meng Xueli: "That's right." The teleportation array he was going to was set up in the gardens of the palace complex.

He has been to the secret realm before, to be precise, he didn't come, but passed by.

Three years ago, Ji Xiao rescued the seriously injured Ling Diao from the "land outside the world", and he passed by here when he was going to the world.

When Ji Xiao opened the secret realm, in addition to the four well-known teleportation arrays, he also left a convenient "back door" for himself in case of emergency.A line connecting the "land outside the boundary" is a two-way transmission. Back then, Ji Xiao walked past with Ling Diao in his arms.There is also an exit leading to the normal vast sea. Like other teleportation arrays in the secret realm, it is a one-way teleportation, which is relatively hidden, and Ling Diao has also seen it.

At that time Ling Diao came out from Ji Xiao's front and turned his head to look around: "Where is this? Are we in the world?"

"Ah."

Ling Diao saw the teleportation array and found it fresh, but soon lost his strength, retracted into his warm bosom, and fell into a deep sleep.

After Changchun Peak was completed, Ji Xiao opened a new "back door" in the secret realm, connecting the underground palace to the Changchun Peak pond sea area.

When you see a hundred flowers everywhere, you know the garden is near.The delicate flowers and plants disappeared naturally without any care, leaving behind vigorous wild flowers and weeds. Many flower seeds were scattered by the wind and scattered for miles around the garden.

The flowers in the secret realm are not watched most of the time, and they still bloom and wither year after year.

The setting sun in the distant sky is infinitely beautiful, and the surroundings are full of colorful flowers. The young monks can't help feeling excited when they think of today's watching, breaking through, and fierce battle.

Meng Xueli also smiled: "Jixiao set up the Dabi in the ancient ruins to remind us that someone has ascended in this world, and ascension is not a dream." Everyone who comes here will think of this incident, Among a hundred people, there is always one who wants to see a wider world.

Xu Sanshan patted Baihu on the head: "Ascension? To be honest, this is too far away!"

Liu Jing turned the array disk to test for fluctuations in the formation around him: "Realist Ji Xiao was the closest to ascension, but unfortunately he has passed away. In our lifetime, will we still see someone ascending?"

Everyone expressed their opinions, most of them were talking about the "Lord of the Great Realm of Tianhu Lake" and "Sage of Mingyue Lake Returning to the Qing Dynasty", and they seldom talked about themselves.

Xiao Tingyun said seriously: "Ascension is just an idea. A monk's journey is long, counted in hundreds of years. Fate is a struggle, and ups and downs are common. If you have one thought in your heart and remain firm, you will have a long-term vision and will not be obsessed with winning or losing in the first battle." , momentary gain and loss. I heard people say, 'When one flower blooms, there will be thousands, ten thousand flowers blooming,' there is no Ji Xiao in the world, and there will be people who come after."

Meng Xueli didn't like to hear words like "Jixiao's era is over" in the past, as if it weakened and obliterated Jixiao's contribution, but when he heard Xiao Tingyun say it now, he didn't feel bored, instead he smiled .

Some people nodded, as if they had realized something, while others smiled, disapproving.

Jing Di joked: "Young Daoist Xiao, how can you say such old-fashioned words? It sounds older than my master."

When he mentioned Master, his tone was friendly at first, but he didn't know what to think of, his smile was restrained, and he silently stopped speaking.

At this moment, Meng Xueli suddenly heard Cui Jing say: "Ji Xiao can't fly up either."

His tone was always indifferent, but extremely serious.Meng Xueli walked to his side: "Why?"

Cui Jing glanced at him with complicated eyes, and finally said something from his heart:

"Jixiao was originally close to the gods, and only by being close to the gods can he ascend. You brought him back to the human world. Jixiao has a Taoist companion, loses his heart of benevolence, and indulges in small love and small love. Is he still a sword master?"

Meng Xueli frowned slightly: "Ji Xiao has a Taoist companion, so he is more like a 'person'. If, if he has feelings for a Taoist companion, he will have a deeper affection for everything in the world, and he will have new insights in his practice. Learn first Love the people around you, and then extend yourself to others, love the world, can't you?"

Cui Jing thinks it's not possible: "When there is closeness and distance in the mind, selfish desires will arise. Daren and little love, the two feelings are not connected."

Meng Xueli felt a little upset: "Forget it, we can't discuss the result."

He thought, although I bear the false name of Ji Xiao's Taoist companion, I am actually not familiar with Ji Xiao, so if two people who are not familiar with Ji Xiao discuss Ji Xiao, what will be the result?It's better to change Hu Si.

What I said just now is all hypothetical, does the real Ji Xiao have feelings for him?If you daydream too much, your mind will easily become stupid.

Meng Xueli sighed faintly, the evening glow illuminated his melancholy eyes:

"Three years ago, there was a night three years ago when the moonlight was shining on the Changchun Peak, and the koi were playing in the pond. When Ji Xiao came to the pond, he was so frightened that the koi dived and did not dare to make trouble anymore. Even the koi were afraid of him. That day In an instant, I felt that he was lonely and wanted to accompany him, but then..."

Jing Di couldn't help asking: "How?"

Meng Xueli: "Later I found out that he is not as pitiful as I imagined, but he is richer than I imagined."

The first time he saw the ledger of Jixiao's private treasury, he almost didn't recover.

Jing Di broke out into a burst of laughter: "Hahahaha! You have said so much, but I understand this one sentence!"

Meng Xueli said helplessly: "What are you laughing at? What I mean is that how we look at Jixiao, and how we look at Jixiao in the history books of future generations, are too narrow. Summer insects cannot speak of ice, and well frogs cannot speak of sea. No When you reach his level, you can't imagine his thoughts... Ji Xiao is actually a cold and compassionate person. Many people imitate him, but they only imitate his indifference, not his compassion."

Ji Xiao was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "Ji Xiao is a human being, and he also has emotions and desires, not a cold god statue on the table."

He found a problem, the little Taoist put him too high, and put himself too low.

Meng Xueli used to be a big demon, it shouldn't be like this, something must have happened that hurt Meng Xueli's self-confidence, maybe the crux is still in the demon world, and the life-and-death catastrophe that Ling Diao suffered three years ago.
