Yu Hongchen

It is now April, the sun is shining brightly outside, the blue sky is thousands of miles away, the mountains and rivers are flourishing along the way, flowers are blooming and willows are green, but there are not many monks encountered, and almost all the monks who come and go are casual cultivators who have lived together in the secret realm of the purple abyss. See After seeing Xie Liuchen, everyone showed surprised expressions, Bai Xuan only explained that Xie Liuchen was injured a little bit, and was invited by the sect master to recuperate in the sect temporarily, ignoring other things.

Xie Liuchen thanked her for finding an excuse for being kicked out of Yunshan, and her attitude towards Bai Xuan was much better. The two talked and laughed all the way, and when they came to a small river, Xie Liuchen turned his attention to the small bridge by the river , There is a person standing far away on the single-plank bridge.His back was thin, with an indescribable chill.

He stood there straight like a pillar, he didn't know what he was looking down at, and when he heard the movement here, he only glanced here, then turned around uncomfortably, ran away in a hurry without turning his head back .

Bai Xuan stopped, looked at his back, and whispered strangely: "This icicle is really weird, why does it always run away when it sees me?"

The figure who ran away in a hurry was exactly He Suwu, and Xie Liuchen couldn't figure out why he suddenly made such an abnormal behavior.At this time, I saw Shang Li walking up the small bridge again.

Bai Xuan called him to a stop: "Master." Shang Lixing saw the two of them, and walked down the bridge: "Why are you here?" Bai Xuan said: "I see that you are in the room on weekdays, so I will see you." I suggest you come out for a walk."

Shang Lixing saw that Xie Liuchen's spirit had improved a lot, and nodded: "Okay, you've made up your mind." Bai Xuan said again: "The sect master is in a hurry, are you going out?"

Shang Lixing said: "That's right, Ji Qing, He Suowu and I are going to go out, and it's up to you to continue to take care of the sect."

Bai Xuan whispered: "Master, you are going out, why don't you tell me first, so that I can prepare the elixir?"

Shang Lixing shook his head and said, "During this time, you have worked too hard. He Suowu doesn't want you to work too hard. I advise us not to tell you."

It was rare for Bai Xuan to get angry, stomped her feet, and said angrily, "Who told him to meddle in other people's business? What's his business? No, I'm still worried. Sect master, wait a moment, I'll come back as soon as I go." " After finishing speaking, he clutched the medicine box in his hand and ran away.

She left in a hurry, and the two of them stood there, silently.Xie Liuchen felt that he had nothing to say to him, and Shang Lixing felt a little embarrassed, so he proposed to stay by the river for a while, and the two of them took a walk by the river bank, chatting casually.

Most of the time it was Shang Lixing who was talking, he calmly took over Bai Xuan's errand, and introduced him the scenery of Qiushuimen in detail, seeing Xie Liuchen's absent-minded look, he asked with concern: "Junior Brother Xie feels much better? "

Xie Liuchen looked indifferent, hummed, and turned his head aside.Shang Lixing stared at him seriously, and suddenly said: "I feel that Junior Brother Xie has changed a lot since he woke up."

A young man who has not been deeply involved in the world, but was trapped and killed by a trusted teacher once. After he escaped from the catastrophe, not to mention a drastic change in temperament. .Shang Lixing sincerely admires this extraordinary cultivation of self-dissolution.But I don't know if it's his illusion, but he always feels that Xie Liuchen has changed a lot inside, at least the last time we met, the other party hadn't learned such a cold and indifferent expression.Thinking of this, Shang Lixing sighed silently in his heart.I thought about how to solve him, how to divert the topic.

Xie Liuchen twitched his eyebrows when he heard that, but didn't say anything.

At that time, the sky was always the same color, the blue sky was like washing, the lake and mountains were reflected on the river, and people on the bank could almost take a selfie in the mirror.Shang Lixing suddenly pointed at the pulsed clear water and said, "Thank you, junior brother, look."

Xie Liuchen looked sideways at the river, seeing a pool of autumn water without any ripples, he wondered in his heart, "What's so interesting about this?"

Shang Lixing looked at the surface of the water with a smile and said, "Look at the calm spring waves and clear water, doesn't it look like a mirror?"

Xie Liuchen didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he heard what he said, he imitated Shang Lixing's appearance, raised his neck, stared down, and looked at the calm river surface curiously. Sure enough, the water was like a mirror, deep and condensed, shining His beautiful facial features are fully displayed.After contemplating it for a moment, suddenly my heart moved, the emotions and desires surged into my heart, the three souls and seven souls were shocked, and when I wanted to speak, I was speechless.

That feeling is very wonderful, as if through the gaps of time, I saw another self floating in the world of mortals.

Couldn't get back to God for a long time.

Shang Lixing murmured: "There is no wave in the autumn water, according to the original intention, this is the origin of the Qiushui gate."

Xie Liuchen suddenly realized.He had also heard about the origin of Qiushuimen in the Yunshan Sword Sect. It is said that Qiushuimen was founded by the scattered cultivators "Fenglin Nine Sons". build.

Loose cultivators have always come and gone alone, do not enter the sect, do not return to the Taoism, and are at ease.But there are advantages and disadvantages. Loose practitioners cannot get the protection of the sect. No matter how talented they are, they are often unable to go further because of insufficient cultivation resources, let alone ascend to the Tao.

300 years ago, Shang Lixing was born out of nowhere. After making a name for himself with the unparalleled talisman, he co-founded Qiushuimen with the nine sons of Fenglin, mobilizing the power of tens of thousands of loose cultivators in the world to fight against the invading demons. Cultivation and fame condensed the original loose sand into a huge force that shook the sky.For a time, the world could not compete with him.

The essence of Qiushuimen is the Sanxiu League. The purpose of the sect is not to seek the renown of the sect, not to seek the high level of cultivation, but to be able to see oneself without waves in the autumn water, and to reflect the original heart under the clear and clear.Qiushuimen accepts casual cultivators from all over the world, regardless of their identity, origin, or level of cultivation. Anyone with an open mind and a firm heart can enter the door. People can come or leave as they please.

The sect has set up a set of universally applicable rules for casual cultivators. The disciples do not need to promote the sect, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. They only need to obey the order of the sect master in exchange for corresponding resources.The disciples are spread all over the four continents. In addition to being able to enjoy the cultivation resources fairly under the supervision of the sect, they can also seek assistance from the sect by virtue of their status as disciples.Although it has been established for only 310 years, it has been deeply rooted in Silu because of the hearts of monks from all over the world and the strategy of loosening outside and tightening inside.

There are no waves in the autumn water... It turns out that the word Qiushuimen came from this river.Xie Liuchen couldn't figure it out no matter what, why the casual cultivators who were supposed to be unruly and uninhibited always insisted on standing on the front line against the demons?Why are you willing to obey Shang Lixing's orders?Why are you willing to do this for the human race?

He had never known Shang Lixing, nor had he thought about understanding him, but at this moment, standing in front of this pool of spring water, his heart fluctuated slightly, and he had a feeling for no reason, "So he is so powerful." "Character" feeling.It's no wonder that the human race was able to drive the naturally brave demons to the barren Northland, bringing peace and prosperity to all living beings in the Nanling Mountains.

After being speechless for a long time, Shang Lixing said to himself, "Why haven't you realized what you have learned?"

After a while of silence, Xie Liuchen looked at the river and said lightly, "He came here just now, and ran away again after seeing Miss Bai and me."

Finally willing to speak, Shang Lixing sneered, and was about to continue speaking, when there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps behind him, it was Bai Xuan who came with the medicine.Ji Qing and a group of monks followed behind him.

Ji Qing took the medicine bottle in Bai Xuan's hand, thanked him warmly, and said to Shang Lixing: "Master, the manpower is ready, can we go?"

Before we set off, Shang Lixing suppressed the idea of ​​letting go of Xie Liuchen for the time being, and thought about dealing with Xie Liuchen's affairs after he came back, so he nodded and said: "If there is nothing wrong, let's go, go early and return early."

After a while, He Suowu walked slowly from the other side of the river and returned.Shang Lixing didn't say a word, but when Bai Xuan saw him coming, she said bluntly, "What's the matter with you? Everyone is waiting for you."

He Suowu had a timid expression on his face, he didn't dare to look Bai Xuan in the eye at all, he just stammered, "I, I went to your room just now."

Bai Xuan wondered, "Why are you going to my room?" Shang Lixing suppressed a smile in his heart, and jokingly said, "He Suowu went to the Medicine Valley to collect some medicine for you, but he never dared to give it to you face to face. , I’m sure you’ll be able to see it when you go back.”

Bai Xuan was still puzzled, and opened her curious eyes wide: "Why didn't you dare to give it to me in person? Am I so scary?"

When He Suowu saw her, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak. Naturally, he didn't dare to express his feelings to her. When he heard this, he was embarrassed and at a loss. He walked in front of the scattered cultivators in a panic, and walked away.The rest of the people looked at me and I looked at you, all showing tacit expressions.

Xie Liuchen watched clearly from the sidelines, this cold He Suowu made it clear that he was interested in Bai Xuan, but he didn't dare to reveal his heart, so he was timid and only took the opportunity to please in secret; and after more than three hundred years of getting along, Bai Xuan Unexpectedly, he didn't notice it, and his mind was so dull.Xie Liuchen really couldn't figure it out, he was several hundred years old, if he likes it, he likes it, so what's there to be ashamed of?He thought to himself again: "Why do these 'Fenglin Nine Sons' produce all kinds of strange people?"

He Suowu took the first step and walked away.Shang Lixing laughed in his heart, and didn't stop there any longer, ordered a few important things, and called Ji Qing to follow with other casual practitioners.A group of people disappeared at the corner of the bridge in a blink of an eye.

Bai Xuan and Xie Liuchen were the only ones left in the area. Bai Xuan said, "Friend Daoist Xie, I still have some important matters to attend to here, so I may not be able to take a walk with you. You can play slowly by yourself first, okay?"

Xie Liuchen shook his head and said, "I'm tired too, let's go back now."

Bai Xuan was originally a medical practitioner and had never held important responsibilities in the Qiushui Gate, but Shang Lihang and his party went out to investigate, and she needed to stay in the gate to help with all the mundane affairs, and she had no time to accompany Xie Liuchen for a stroll, so she said: "That's good , let's go back first."

The two walked back along the same path side by side.Along the way, Xie Liuchen was not as reticent as he was when he was dealing with Shang Lixing, and he took the initiative to talk to Bai Xuan: "Miss Bai knows where the Shang sect master and the others are going?"

Bai Xuan said: "Didn't the sect master tell you? They are going to the Thousand Shadow Wall."

Xie Liuchen only felt that the name of the place was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. Seeing that Bai Xuan seemed to be defenseless against him, he asked, "Thousand Shadow Wall? Where is this?"

Bai Xuan explained kindly: "Thousand Shadow Wall is located on the northern border of the Nanling Continent. It has always been a natural barrier to isolate the demons from crossing the sea. There are [-] casual cultivators stationed on the border all year round, monitoring the movements of the demons day and night. In the past few days, some tragic things happened in the mortal world, and several corpses were sent to me, I believe that Fellow Daoist Xie has also heard about this matter."

Xie Liuchen knew that what she was talking about was the fact that several mortals were absorbed by the demons a while ago, and his expression was serious. He only heard Bai Xuan continue: "The master of the sect received a secret letter from the sect's spy three days ago, saying It is because the demons have been restless recently, and it is suspected that the demons have sneaked in from here, so the sect master took a group of people to the Qianzhong Shadow Wall to investigate."

Xie Liuchen didn't expect Qiushuimen to be so keenly aware of the movements of the demons, and when he heard Bai Xuan talk about "Qiushuimen's secret agent", he was suddenly curious and pretended to casually ask about the identity of the spy.Unexpectedly, even though Bai Xuan trusted him with all her heart, she was unwilling to disclose the identity of the spy, she just said vaguely: "This person's identity is the top secret in the sect, except for me and the sect master." Apart from others, no one in the world knows her identity. For the sake of safety, the less people know about it, the less."

Xie Liuchen also vaguely knew that the relationship between the Demon Race and the Human Race had always been tense, especially Qiushuimen, who faced the Demon Race directly, and had to guard against the infiltration of the Demon Race's spies. Bai Xuan just said that the spies were just a moment of carelessness, and it would be impossible for her to reveal more. , they simply didn't ask any more questions, and talking about other things, the two quickly returned to Shang Lixing's residence, and Bai Xuan sent him to the room where he was originally staying, and then went to do other things.

Xie Liuchen sat alone on the wooden chair in the room, meditating on his own, and sat there for a long time. The warm spring light in the afternoon cast stars on his handsome face.

……

Bai Xuan was so busy that she was busy until the sunset. When she left the main hall, she remembered that Xie Liuchen was still in the room. She wanted to summon a casual practitioner to accompany her, but she also thought that Xie Liuchen was a distinguished guest brought by the head of the sect. It should be ignored.So he greeted the Taoist boy who came to hold the lamp, and let him lead the way, with the starlight on his head, and gradually walked to Shanglihang's residence.

Bai Xuan came to the front of the room and saw that the door was closed tightly, and there was no sound of breathing in the room. She guessed that Xie Liuchen was still sleeping with his head covered, so she just whispered outside the door: "Friend Daoist Xie, are you still sleeping?" ?”

There was no answer for a long time, Bai Xuan became suspicious, pushed the door open and entered, Dao Tong followed closely, raised a small lamp in his hand, and shot it into the room like the light of a bean candle.

However, the room was quiet and deserted, and Xie Liuchen, who was supposed to be sleeping on the couch in the room, no longer knew where he was going.
