The next day.
Qingfeng Pavilion, in Feihua Garden.
Nangong Yun put down the letter in front of Hongwen's dressing table.
The senior sister's departure without saying goodbye made Nangong Yun feel even more disappointed.
He could understand Hong Juan's current mood. The two had played together since they were children, talked about everything, and were inseparable.
But today, they had to separate. She would not be able to adapt for a while, and it was inevitable that she would feel sad and sad.
However, fortunately, he had promised his senior sister in person that he would go to Kyoto to find her, which at least showed her his intentions.
The two had a close relationship for many years, and Nangong Yun could naturally tell that the senior sister had him in her heart.
However, now that the senior sister has returned to Kyoto alone, she has to stay alone in the palace.
And if he leaves without saying goodbye and goes to Kyoto, then after the master comes out of seclusion, they will not be in Fengming Mountain, and he should be worried.
Moreover, according to the time specified by the master before going into seclusion, the master will be out of seclusion in less than half a year.
Nangong Yun temporarily put down the worries in his heart, and after asking his master for orders, he went down the mountain to Kyoto to find his senior sister.
...
A few days later.
evening.
On a long and narrow green path.
The autumn wind blows sadly, making people feel heartbroken.
The bloody setting sun on the horizon refused to take away its remaining afterglow. There were several calls of returning geese from the other side of the mountain. It seemed that only their passing figures were left in the vast sky. On this land, They eventually return home.
However, after Hongwen left Fengming Mountain, she did not go to Kyoto.
Although she knew her life experience, she was the noble Red Moon Princess of the South Vietnam Empire, and her mother Lin Xuan was also looking forward to her return in Kyoto.
However, when facing Lin Xuan and her biological father Nangong Shuo, she could not avoid talking about Nangong Yun, which would only plunge her into endless pain.
Since going down the mountain, she couldn't sleep every night. She didn't know how to relieve the misery in her heart or forget it all.
However, there will always be many pictures about himself and Xiaoyun that appear over and over in his mind.
They used to be together whether they were happy or sad, sad or in pain. However, in the blink of an eye, everything has become a thing of the past.
Memories may have become her habit.
She was used to enjoying solitude at night and crying alone at night.
I don’t want to get used to it, but I can’t do anything about it…
The sky was getting dark, but Hongjuan's heart was empty. She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. Loneliness, loneliness, loss, and helplessness made her breathless. She just wanted to escape, to a place where she didn't need it. Go into a world that endures all this.
She once heard from her master that there is a mountain called Changqing in the eastern wasteland of Yuanhun Continent. There is a plant called "Forgetting Love Grass" growing on the mountain. After eating it, it can make people forget all past memories.
Therefore, Hong Juan wants to go to the Eastern Wasteland and Changqing Mountain.
...
time flies.
Half a year passed in Nangong Yun's silent waiting.
During the past six months, Nangong Yun had been busy from dawn to dusk, either attending classes, studying Shanmen classics, or concentrating on practicing alone. It seemed that only in this way could he relieve his depression and dilute the loss in his heart.
Finally, he waited.
Nangong Yun went to the Star Palace early in the morning.
The master is leaving seclusion today.
In the Hall of Stars, Master Yuyang was seen happily congratulating Master Huang He who had just left seclusion.
"Congratulations, senior brother, for breaking through to the fourth level of the stars in one fell swoop!"
"Haha, during this retreat, I realized some traces of the Heart of the Stars. I have been unable to take this step in the past few years, but I finally gained something today."
Master Huang He replied with a smile.
He only started to practice Taoism when he was an adult, so he naturally took it much later than those who started practicing since childhood. However, fortunately, he has the soul of the phoenix inherited from the royal family of the South Vietnam Empire, so his practice has been quite smooth over the years. .
However, since he entered the Star Realm, his cultivation progress has suddenly slowed down. It even took him a full fifteen years to upgrade from the second level of the stars to the fourth level of the stars today. level.
However, the cultivators on Yuanhun Continent will only make a qualitative leap in their cultivation realm when they reach the fifth level of the stars and form their own star hearts.
This time, Master Huang He was able to understand some Dao Marks about the Heart of the Stars, which was quite rewarding, so he was very pleased.
"Master, my disciple believes that the Heart of the Stars is actually just the aggregation of everyone's different beliefs about moral understanding, and it is not static."
At this time, Nangong Yun, who was standing in front of the hall, spoke.
Master Huang He was also surprised when he heard this, but Nangong Yun continued.
"Master, you have the world in your heart and care for all living beings. In fact, as long as you condense the kindness in your life soul, I believe that it won't be long before you can condense the heart of the stars."
When Nangong Yun said this, Master Huang He thought for a while.
Then he regained consciousness, looked at Nangong Yun standing in front of him, and asked with a smile.
"Xiaoyun, how did you understand this condensed idea about the heart of the stars?"
"Haha... I only have such a conjecture after listening to your master's explanations of many principles of cultivation since I was a child, plus some Shanmen classics I read on the mountain."
Nangong Yun replied slightly embarrassed.
Naturally, he couldn't tell the master. In fact, these were the basic knowledge of cultivation taught to him by Master Huo when he was six or seven years old.
However, the basic knowledge about cultivation mentioned by Master Huo was like an enlightenment to Zhenren Huang He, and he suddenly had many insights about the cultivation in the Star Realm.
"Haha, what Xiaoyun said is indeed unique. I didn't expect that you already have such a thorough understanding of cultivation at such a young age."
Master Huang He nodded happily, and then asked doubtfully about this trip to the Medical Immortal Valley.
"I heard from your Uncle Yuyang that when you went to the Medical Immortal Valley this time, did you fight with others?"
"Yes."
"It turns out that you can actually condense into a white tiger ghost statue. However, the master knows that your life soul has not awakened, so what is going on?"
Nangong Yun was not surprised when he heard his master asking about what he could cultivate.
Because the things he could cultivate before were hidden from everyone, but after he took action in the Medical Immortal Valley and was discovered by Master Yuyang, he expected that he would definitely explain this matter to his master when he came back.
However, Master Huo had already thought about it early and asked Nangong Yun to admit that he was carrying the secret of spiritual fire. Of course, Nangong Yun did not want to deceive the master, so he answered.
"Master, I actually have a kind of spiritual fire in my body. It is this spiritual fire that allows me to practice. Moreover, I have also learned a technique that can copy other people's spiritual images."
Master Huang He and Master Yuyang were both surprised when they heard this.
It turns out that whether a person can practice cultivation has nothing to do with whether he has awakened his life soul. This is too unbelievable!
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that everyone in the world can become a cultivator, but in fact, there are only a few people on the Yuanhun Continent who can cultivate, and those who can cultivate to extremely high levels are even rarer.
However, what they don't know is that the reason why Nangong Yun has such a strange practice phenomenon is that there is a shocking secret that is unknown to everyone, and not everyone in the world can use it as a new way of practice.
Master Huang He knew in his heart that Nangong Yun was too seriously injured fifteen years ago. As a last resort, he used the spiritual fire passed down from generation to generation in the mountain gate forbidden area to heal Nangong Yun's injuries.
However, he never thought that the spiritual fire inherited by this sect could be attached to the human body, and even allowed Nangong Yun to practice normally without awakening his life soul. This is too incredible. Got it!
Master Huang He and Master Yuyang were stunned for a moment, and they both froze in place. It took a long time to recover.
Master Yuyang asked Nangong Yun curiously.
"Then how did you get this spiritual fire? And where did you get it?"
Faced with Uncle Yuyang's question, Nangong Yun was about to answer, but he heard Master Huang He on the side speak slowly.
"Actually, it's like this. This kind of spiritual fire has always existed within the forbidden boundary of Fengming Mountain. It has been inherited and taken over by successive sects from generation to generation. Fifteen years ago, Xiaoyun was too seriously injured. At that time, he was Because he was too young, I was worried that I would make mistakes when using ordinary healing techniques, so I used the spiritual fire in the forbidden area. However, what I didn't expect was that this spiritual fire could actually possess Xiaoyun's body, and even It contains some kind of inheritance, and it seems that this is due to a great chance."
After hearing Master Huang He talk about the spiritual fire, Master Yuyang suddenly realized.
"So that's it. It seems that Xiaoyun has a close connection with this spiritual fire. Senior brother has been teaching for many years, but he has not been able to win favor from this spiritual fire. This shows that it has spirituality."
"Yes, Xiaoyun, since you have the opportunity of this spiritual fire, you must practice hard in the future. Your achievements in the future will definitely surpass those of your master."
When Nangong Yun heard what his master said, he felt a little strange in his heart.
Why was he seriously injured when he was young, and even forced his master to use spiritual fire to heal himself? What happened when he was young?
He originally wanted to ask, but Master Huang He signaled that he didn't need to say more.
Because, after all, Nangong Yun is his most beloved disciple. If he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he can succeed him as the headmaster of Fengming Mountain. As for other things, let his junior brother Teng Hu make the decision in the future.
However, Master Huang He did not know that the "spiritual fire" he thought was actually the flame soul of the ancient Zhuzhao, and he only regarded it as a strange spiritual fire inherited by Shanmen.
At this time, Master Huang He suddenly looked around the hall, but he couldn't help but feel strange.
In the past, Hong Juan was always inseparable from Nangong Yun. How come today when he came out of seclusion, Hong Juan was nowhere to be seen, so he asked.
"Where's the Hongjuan girl? Why can't she be seen?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Nangong Yun's expression darkened.
