The bright moon is in the sky, and Taixu Garden is quiet. Only the gurgling water can be heard, which is soothing.
Ye Ling, Wu Qing, and Bai Wuyu each went back to their rooms to practice without rest at midnight.
During the day on the Red Fire Peak, in front of the Jade Palace, Ye Ling defeated Qin Yuanlang, damaged the soul refining furnace, and hurt the face of everyone on the Red Fire Peak.
Fortunately, Qin Yuanlang challenged him and Ye Ling had Taixu Peak's command in hand, so he returned to Taixu Garden safely.
Chen Yan protected Taixu Garden, and the Eight Peaks disciples did not dare to come and make trouble, so Ye Ling and others could feel at ease.
Although Ye Ling defeated powerful enemies in the Qingyou Realm with his cultivation in the Huiling Realm, he did not dare to be proud and slack off. We need to know that there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world. Only by continuing to work hard can we not be bullied or annoyed by others.
Ye Ling was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, with the Peak Master's order still quietly placed not far from him.
After returning to the mountain today, Ye Ling wanted to return the token to Chen Yan, but Chen Yan sent a message from the back mountain: "You keep the token and assume the authority of the peak master. I will officially retreat for one year from today. If you don’t come out, don’t come to the back mountain to disturb me!”
Chen Yan came back seriously injured during this trip and has not recovered yet, so he went into seclusion.
Ye Ling had no choice but to collect the token first and return it after Chen Yan left the customs.
Ye Ling sat with his eyes closed, and his consciousness was released, completely covering the room. Every move, every leaf falling, was felt by Ye Ling.
Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness is powerful, far beyond that of his peers, and even those who have cultivated in the Qingyou Realm may not be able to match it.
Not long after, a person suddenly came into Taixu Garden with his feet in the void.
Ye Ling secretly frowned. Taoist Taixu Garden had left a message and stipulated that people from the sect were not allowed to enter without permission. Even the master of the Eight Peaks and the head of the sect did not dare to violate it, but visitors dared to come to the garden alone.
Ye Ling did not dare to act rashly and did not know the details of the person coming, so he continued to use his spiritual sense to investigate. Seeing that there was no thief statue among the visitors, and the garden was full of rare treasures, he did not turn his attention to him. He stood quietly under the moonlight and said nothing.
Then, the man said to the door of Ye Ling's house: "Why bother to use your spiritual sense to explore, why don't you come out and see!"
Ye Ling was shocked and hurriedly withdrew his consciousness and got up to go out.
Under the moonlight, I saw the man who came was young and handsome, with his hair half pulled up into a bun, and the rest of his hair flowing freely. A pair of eyes with bottomless depth and an expression neither warm nor cold. He was dressed in blood-colored Taoist robes, spotless.
The young man stands with his hands behind his hands, the Taoist charm is flowing, and his body is fragrant. He is transcending the world and proudly living in the fairyland.
When their eyes met, Ye Ling quickly looked away. If this person's eyes are confused and troubled, it is easy for people to lose their consciousness.
However, Ye Ling knew that this person came with no ill intentions. His cultivation is so profound that Ye Ling cannot see through it. If he tried to force him, he was afraid that he would have already lost.
The young man also looked at Ye Ling up and down, his eyes seemed to have divine help, and he saw the secret, and then said: "It is rare for you to enter the Tao with a sword."
Ye Ling was slightly shocked. He didn't release his sharp energy at this moment, but this person knew about it. This made him dare not slack off and be on guard at all times.
The young man added: "The moonlight is still beautiful, and with the scenery like this, we can't live without the company of fine wine. I open two jars of Zuiyun Brewing. It's just the right time!"
Ye Ling said nothing and didn't answer, wondering what the young man had in mind.
At this time, Bai Wuyu suddenly walked out of the room, smiled at the young man and said, "Senior Brother Xu is here, I will get you Zuiyun Brew right now!"
The young man asked: "Master, uncle, can you be in the back mountain?"
"Yes," Bai Wuyu replied: "But the master said that he will be in seclusion for a year. No one is allowed to disturb him. You won't be able to see him tonight." With that, Bai Wuyu went to the purple bamboo forest to dig for wine. .
The young man did not look disappointed when he could not see Chen Yan, simply because he did not come here to see Chen Yan.
Seeing Bai Wuyu greet him with a smile, Ye Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least the person who came was not an enemy, and he was acquainted with Bai Wuyu and his master Chen Yan. If he just came to ask for a drink, it would be nothing.
Not long after, Bai Wuyu walked out of the purple bamboo forest with two wine jars in his hands, threw one jar to each of Ye Ling and the young man, and said: "You guys drink, if it's not enough, go dig it yourself in the bamboo forest and bury it underneath." I have marked all the purple bamboos for wine, so they are easy to find. I have to go back to practice first, so excuse me!"
After saying that, Bai Wuyu turned around and went back to the house.
Bai Wuyu was captured during the day, and Ye Ling and Wu Qing were also implicated. They went to Red Fire Peak to rescue him alone, and almost made a mistake. This incident made him feel guilty, so he was now eager to practice and improve his strength as soon as possible to protect Taixu's lineage.
The young man stretched out his hand to pat away the sealing mud from the wine jar, raised his head and drank a few sips, then took a big breath and said, "In the sect, only Zuiyunniang can be called 'good wine'. Drink it happily!"
The young man sat on the ground, tasting wine in front of the moon, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Thousands of years ago, Confucian Qu Sheng fell on his way to immortality. The one who stood in the way was the Sword Ancestor who ascended ten thousand years ago. Then hundreds of sects in the Eastern Region destroyed the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, and the swordsmanship declined since then. Invisibly, God's will If you try, sword cultivation is hard to achieve. The future is slim, why do you insist on this way?"
The young man suddenly looked at Ye Ling and asked, his eyes deep and calm.
Ye Ling stepped forward and replied: "My destiny is mine, and my way is in my heart. As for cultivating nature, it has nothing to do with God. If God has his way, I will defy heaven and fight against the way!"
Ye Ling's words came from his heart, and his sharp energy couldn't help but come out, wrapping around his body, like a sharp knife unsheathed and a trusty horse free of rein.
The young man nodded: "Is this the edge of the sword? No wonder it can make Huo Yun restrain his hands and Qin Yuanlang is seriously injured. Your sword points to your heart and shows your sharpness, but it is extraordinary. My uncle's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he can recognize a disciple like you. Just by virtue of this, What I said just now should make you realize!"
Ye Ling laughed and started talking to the young man, then he patted the wine jar open, raised it up and took a big gulp, and then sat down.
The young man said again: "If you hurt Qin Yuanlang, Chihuo Peak will definitely not give up and will definitely cause trouble for you. There are countless treasures in Taixu Garden, which are exclusively owned by your senior brothers. Among the eight peaks, there are as many dissatisfied people as there are people. Before your Dao Aperture is perfected, you are still in Taixu Garden, so don’t go down the mountain easily!"
Hearing this, Ye Ling took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "In this case, wouldn't I become a timid person who only wants peace and is afraid of getting into trouble? The sword is so sharp that if you don't advance, you will retreat. As a swordsman, why should I be afraid? war!"
The young man added: "The competition between the great avenues does not allow others to comment. Although it is called an immortal sect, it is still in the mortal world. The higher the realm, the stronger the seven emotions and six desires. What is lacking in this sect and among the nine peaks is a sense of popularity. Therefore, this Cultivation of one realm is the foundation for a foothold!"
Ye Ling naturally understands this truth. What he lacks now is realm cultivation. It will take time to establish a foothold in the sect.
The young man continued: "When you first arrived at the mountain gate, you didn't know the dangers involved. There are thousands of disciples of Wentian Sect, and every year, even a momentary dispute will ruin the path of dozens of people to immortality. It is easy to break after the first month, and it will lose when the moon is full. !”
Ye Ling's eyes were determined, and he said: "Although my Taixu lineage is sparse, it is not comparable to the Eight Peaks! I am a swordsman, and although my future is slim, I will move forward without hesitation! I would rather take the straight path than to take the middle. beg!"
The young man smiled without saying a word and drank all the wine in the wine jar. Then he stood up and said to Ye Ling: "I will give you one year. After one year, I will compete with you in the Nine Peaks Competition!"
Ye Ling nodded when he heard this and said: "Now that we have issued a letter of challenge, I will not take a step back!"
After saying that, the young man stood up and walked in the air, coming and going with ease and ease.
Although Ye Ling didn't know his name, he talked happily with him and felt a lot of sympathy for each other.
Early the next morning, Ye Ling practiced the Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique and waved tree branches in the open space in front of the house. Bai Wuyu stepped forward and asked, "How was your conversation yesterday?"
"It's great to be accompanied by fine wine." Ye Ling replied, "But I don't know the name of the visitor, and I didn't have time to ask."
Bai Wuyu said: "This person's name is Xu Mochen, he is the disciple of Gu Ningyuan, the senior brother of Tianxuan Peak Sect. He is also the leader among the disciples of Tianxuan Peak. It is said that his cultivation has reached the peak of Lingxu Realm. He will be in trouble soon." You can enter the Ying Chong realm."
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded secretly. When he looked at Xu Mochen last night, he only felt that his cultivation was so advanced that he seemed to be sinking into the great road and could not be looked at directly. Now that I heard what Bai Wuyu said, it was indeed the case.
Wu Qing was on the side and said in confusion: "This is strange. Didn't the master set the rules? People in the sect are not allowed to enter Taixu Garden without the order of the peak master. Even the eight peak peak masters do not dare to make mistakes. Why does this Xu Lone Chen dare to visit late at night?"
Bai Wuyu explained: "He has a close relationship with our master. He used to come to Taixu Garden to discuss Taoism with master. Master allowed him to enter and exit Taixu Garden freely, and he was also allowed to taste the drunken brew in the garden."
Ye Ling and Wu Qing already knew the reason. Ye Ling asked again: "What's going on with the Nine Peaks Competition?"
Bai Wuyu replied: "Every ten years in the sect, a competition is organized among the disciples to compete for the leader, and many rewards are set up to encourage the disciples to practice hard. After the competition, the sect will be opened to the public. Accept disciples into the mountain. If your disciples want to go out for training, you can take advantage of this opportunity."
