The first day of October.
Suitable for: worship, bathing, travel, hairdressing, entrance;
Taboo: getting married, breaking ground, burial, and making a stove.
In the early morning, when the sky was just dawning, Xu Yuxiu symbolically glanced at the almanac, feeling relieved and ready to go out.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Fengjiao and Rong Xiaoling already waiting in the small courtyard.
As soon as Shen Fengjiao saw Xu Yuxiu, she stepped forward and said, "Yuxiu, we want to accompany you for a walk."
Hearing this, Xu Yuxiu nodded and did not refuse.
So, the three of them left the small courtyard and walked towards the mountain gate.
It was still early at this time, only the first moment of Yin hour, and there was still some time before Chen hour.
In the early morning of October, the weather was a bit cool and there was already a chill in the air.
But they are all monks and are not afraid of the chill in the morning.
They passed through the small courtyard where the disciples gathered and stepped onto the road leading to the outside of Qingzhu Peak, facing the gradually brightening dawn.
The mountains in the distance look particularly peaceful in the early morning sunshine, and the morning mist lingers like a fairyland.
The sun shines on them through the gaps in the leaves, bringing a touch of warmth.
Shen Fengjiao and Rong Xiaoling accompanied Xu Yuxiu silently, and they were speechless along the way.
As they approached the mountain gate, the three of them stopped.
Xu Yuxiu looked back, smiled and said, "That's it."
Shen Fengjiao and Rong Xiaoling nodded. Suddenly, Shen Fengjiao stepped forward and took Xu Yuxiu's arm. She leaned closer and whispered, "Yuxiu, we are waiting for you to come back."
A simple sentence, but full of expectations.
They hoped that Xu Yuxiu would be safe during his trip and come back intact.
Xu Yuxiu smiled slightly, nodded, and said nothing.
Let go and say goodbye.
Xu Yuxiu turned around and walked out of the mountain gate.
Just at this moment, Wang Fugui came running and panting, but he had missed the opportunity to say goodbye and could only sigh helplessly.
Xu Yuxiu stepped out of the mountain gate in one step, facing the sunlight pouring down, and saw the scene at the mountain gate clearly.
At this time, the mountain gate seemed a little deserted. Apart from the few disciples guarding the mountain gate, there were only two or three people arriving.
One of them is Dai Xingrui.
After seeing Xu Yuxiu's arrival, he just raised his eyes slightly and then withdrew his gaze.
Xu Yuxiu didn't care either.
The other two should also be among the top 100 disciples on the gold list. From them, Xu Yuxiu felt a powerful aura. At least they were above the tenth level of Qi refining, and they might have reached the eleventh or twelfth level. It’s also undecided.
Anyway, Xu Yuxiu couldn't clearly see their cultivation. Maybe they used something to hide their cultivation.
Xu Yuxiu was a little curious. Are these the top 100 people on the gold list going to Yinhun Valley?
But after thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile. It was still early, but it was just past a quarter of a hour, and there was still an hour before a quarter of a hour. Not even the elder who led the team came, let alone the other disciples?
Thinking of this, she stopped thinking about it, found a place by herself, and waited quietly.
As time went on, more and more people started arriving.
However, Xu Yuxiu noticed that those who came were all outer disciples. Although most of them were among the top 100 disciples on the gold list, there were also some outer disciples who were out on missions.
At the mountain gate, things gradually started to get lively.
"Senior Brother Wei"
"Junior Brother Xu"
"Senior Sister Zhu"
Some familiar disciples greeted each other and gathered together.
At this time, Xu Yuxiu spotted another familiar figure in the crowd, Chen Kuan.
As before, Chen Kuan walked into the disciples waiting to go to the Valley of Shadows with a sword on his back.
When he walked past Xu Yuxiu, he did not recognize Xu Yuxiu.
Thinking about it, after not seeing her for more than seven years, Xu Yuxiu has changed a lot. She is no longer the sickly, skinny little girl she used to be.
Xu Yuxiu felt the aura of Chen Kuan's cultivation. He seemed to have broken through to the twelfth level of Qi refining without covering up, and his aura gave people a sharp feeling.
Like a sharp sword that is about to come out.
Xu Yuxiu was a little curious, why he had not seen Chen Kuan on the gold list before, but now he can appear here?
After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but realize that it should be the last day before Chen Kuan went to challenge, but at that time, she had already left the Doufa Tai Square early because of something else.
Just when Chen Kuan passed in front of Xu Yuxiu not far away, he suddenly stopped in his steps, suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Yuxiu, and asked Xu Yuxiu with a somewhat hesitant look on his face: "Have we met this junior sister somewhere?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuxiu smiled knowingly and said, "Senior Brother Chen, we have indeed met. Do you still remember seven years ago?"
"Seven years ago" Chen Kuan recalled secretly. Suddenly, the figure of a little girl gradually became clear in his mind. His expression suddenly changed and he said in surprise: "You are. Xu Yuxiu!"
"Exactly." Xu Yuxiu nodded, confirming his guess.
Only then did Chen Kuan show a look of surprise, and then he was a little surprised.
He had actually heard of Xu Yuxiu's name a long time ago, but he had never associated her with the name in his memory. He thought it was just the same name, but the thought of seeing her today really shocked him.
Chen Kuan still remembered the situation when Xu Yuxiu was just starting out. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for more than seven years, the once frail little girl had grown to the point where she was now and was almost catching up with him.
Surprise, what a surprise.
Chen Kuan praised: "I haven't seen you for many years. Your growth is really unexpected. It seems that I was wrong at the beginning!"
"If it hadn't been for my senior brother to lead me into the Immortal Sect, I would have become a piece of earth by now. This kind of kindness is unforgettable!"
What Xu Yuxiu said is true.
At first, the conflict of spiritual roots in her body was intolerable, and the wear and tear on her vitality continued. If she had not worshiped the Taixuan Sect and embarked on the path of cultivation, she would have only lived for two or three years.
How can we still have such achievements?
"I'm just acting in accordance with the sect's rules."
After the two got acquainted, they approached and started chatting.
Those who can be here are basically the disciples who want to go to the Valley of Shadows.
When talking about the Ghost Valley, Chen Kuan took the initiative to send an invitation to Xu Yuxiu, and Xu Yuxiu did not refuse.
The situation in the Valley of Shadows is difficult to understand. The disciples of the Taixuan Sect are not the only ones who enter the Valley of Shadows.
There are also some small and medium-sized sects that are attached to Taixuan Sect. After paying a lot of resources, they can also get some places to enter the Valley of Shadows. Although the places they get are not many, they should not be underestimated.
While he was talking, a huge immortal boat came from the sect.
The fairy boat was huge and completely black, shining with black light under the sunlight.
As it approaches, it brings a sense of oppression like a mountain.
There are complicated lines engraved on the surface of the boat, and the combination of them gives people an indescribable and mysterious feeling.
Xu Yuxiu only took one glance and recognized that the patterns engraved on the boat's body were formation patterns.
Those array patterns were connected and combined to form a large array that she could not even describe.
"That's Elder Wu from Tianshu Peak!"
At this time, the fairy boat landed in front of the mountain gate.
Looking up at the immortal boat, one can see many inner disciples already standing on it, hundreds of them at a rough count.
Most of the inner disciples are in the Qi Refining Stage, but there are also some in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And at the head of the fairy boat, stood a middle-aged and older man with a beard wearing a black Taoist robe with star patterns painted on it. His aura was deep, and paired with his star pattern Taoist robe, it gave people a feeling of facing someone. The depth of the starry sky.
He is what the disciples said, Elder Wu Xingyun of Tianshu Peak.
This time it was him who led the disciples to the Valley of Shadows.
"The hour has arrived, please board the boat as soon as possible!"
Wu Xingyun didn't say much, just said a word indifferently, then waved his sleeves, and the Immortal Boat Formation opened a gap.
Seeing this, the top 100 disciples on the outer sect's golden list who were waiting here began to board the immortal boat one after another.
After everyone boarded the immortal boat, Wu Xingyun flicked his sleeves, closed the gap in the formation, and the immortal boat took off into the sky, heading towards the Ghost Valley.
