The situation on the mountain is the same as at the foot of the mountain. They are both gorgeous and majestic, but also a bit decayed. It is estimated that the resources and manpower will not be able to keep up and maintain the glory of the past. Fortunately, the place was neat and tidy, otherwise it wouldn't be anything but broken.
From these details, it can also be seen that this Huyang Sect is not the ordinary second-rate sect she once thought. There may be some story in it.
Ning Xia made up her mind to inquire about it later if appropriate, and she was quite curious. How could such a sect that shouldn't be second-rate from the inside and outside become a mid-level sect?
arrive. Xie Shi led Ning Xia along the path and soon arrived at a gorgeous courtyard. The outside was wrapped with lush green vines, which had probably grown for many years and looked quite relaxing.
The trails are naturally unknown and sparsely traveled. Because Ningxia didn't meet anyone along the way, the whole path was deserted, and the path led to nowhere, so Ningxia felt a little dizzy while walking.
Ningxia has the right to suspect... Young Master Xie Shi and Xie are a road fool. Um, okay, this is a joke. However, she was indeed feeling guilty. After all, Sangyang Peak was the main peak of the same lineage. Why was it so desolate with no one around?
When they struggled out of the path and came to this gorgeous courtyard, Ningxia discovered——
Not far away, there were many monks coming and going, either in gorgeous and complicated clothes or in coarse linen. Some were flying with swords in mid-air, and there were also handyman disciples pushing carts to transport them. This is the scene of the main peak of Yiyi. Although it is not as good as Qingxu Peak of Wuhua Sect, it is still extremely prosperous and not as deserted as before.
He looked at the place in front of him that was obviously the small gate of the courtyard.
Ningxia:……
So it was really a small road just now. Xie Shi took her up here by taking a shortcut.
As for what? Why can't she come up the right way? Ningxia said that she just saw a main entrance at the foot of the mountain with many people coming and going. That's the correct way to go up the mountain.
"Senior Sister Ning, we're here. Let's go in here to avoid... Oh, just follow me and I'll take you to Yun Hall to meet your father." After successfully passing a certain layer of protective shield, Xie Shi pulled Ning Xia with a guilty look on his face. Just go in.
The expression was empty, as if some wild tiger was following behind, which really made Ningxia have to think too much.
"Okay, mistress, you ran away secretly without saying hello, and you didn't even think about saying anything when you came back. I'm afraid you're getting too courageous, see if I don't take care of you." A sinister tone suddenly emerged from my ears, with a hint of The stocks have bad intentions.
The two people in Ningxia were shocked. Especially Xie Shi, who had a guilty conscience and wanted to avoid certain people.
"Second, second brother. Good afternoon, afternoon..." Xie Shi couldn't control his slightly frightened expression, and raised his little hand comically, as if he wanted to say hello in a friendly way.
"What a ghost!" The handsome-looking young man's anger surged, and he wanted to come over and pinch Xie Shi, but was avoided by the soulful boy.
The nearby Ningxia immediately became Xie Shi's "shield", and he hid behind Ningxia.
Ningxia:……
She didn't know how many times she was speechless. Her previous feeling that Xie Shi had grown up must be an illusion. Why did she feel that this kid had become much wiser after he came out?
The young man had to stop. In fact, he didn't really intend to hit anyone. He was just angry and wanted to pinch him a few times to vent his anger. However, when such a big person like Ningxia was pushed to the front, he couldn't really pretend that he didn't see it.
"I'll take care of you later." The young man glared viciously at Xie Shi behind Ningxia.
Brother, please, you actually glared at me.
The irritable young man's face changed instantly, and he returned to the appearance of a handsome gentleman under the stunned look of Ning Xia and others, with a soft smile on his lips.
"You must be fellow Taoist Ningxia. I am Xie Lihua, the second brother of Xie Shi. If you don't mind, the boy called me and thanked him for being second brother. Thank you for taking care of this boy along the way." He said with a look on his face. Wanwan has a gentle temperament. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes just now, I wouldn't have believed that the other party could have such a violent side.
This was also a Jindan Daoist. Ningxia had seen many of them, and he felt it immediately. He hurriedly returned the gift and politely called him: "Thank you, second brother." Since everyone has said this, it doesn't matter if you get closer, the world of cultivation is so big. , multiple friends are also good.
"Good boy. I'm such a cheerful person. Then I'll shamelessly call you Junior Sister Ning. I didn't bring anything decent when we first met, oh... By the way, this one." Xie Lihua took out one from his storage bag. The brocade box was handed to Ningxia.
Ningxia was too embarrassed to accept it, but the other party stuffed it into his hand.
"Keep it. This is a gadget I got before. It's not suitable for a man like me to use, so I kept it aside. I happened to meet you today. Take it. This thing should be suitable for a little girl."
"I have something to do first. Xiaosan'er, please quickly lead Junior Sister Ning to Yun Ting. Dad has been waiting there for a long time. Be honest!" Xie Lihua glared at Xie Shi before leaving, and then rushed The ground is gone.
Like a gust of wind, it comes and goes in a hurry, disappearing in a flash. Only Ning Xia, who was holding the greeting gift, and Xie Shi, who had been scolded by his brother, were left standing there dumbfounded.
"Your second brother...well, he is such a sweetheart." Ning Xia smiled bitterly, and Xie Shi also motioned for her to put her things away, and walked out from behind with a sigh of relief.
"Thank God, it's so easy to get through the second brother's test. Fortunately, he has something to do urgently, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy." Xie Shi closed the courtyard door with a look of shock and took Ning Xia away. Enter this huge courtyard.
Along the way, there are lush flowers and trees, and the courtyard is filled with elixirs of different years. The spiritual energy is abundant beyond imagination, and the pores all over the body will relax as soon as you enter. Ningxia guesses that there must be something like a spirit gathering array set up. It’s truly a pharmacist’s courtyard, where you can easily get materials anywhere.
The overall view of the courtyard is not very big, but it is winding and winding, and there are many rockery and spiritual trees. The structure cannot be seen clearly at a glance, and it is blocked by different things.
Xie Shi led Ningxia to jump to the left, then to the right, going around and around, the movements were so fast that Ningxia couldn't see clearly, let alone the pattern, and could only vaguely recognize that it was a maze, very advanced. kind. It was so different from the faction Ningxia had learned that Ningxia could hardly recognize it.
Pulling Ningxia to make the last turn, she stopped and landed on the ground.
————Replace immediately Replace immediately——
The irritable young man's face changed instantly, and he returned to the appearance of a handsome gentleman under the stunned look of Ning Xia and others, with a soft smile on his lips.
"You must be fellow Taoist Ningxia. I am Xie Lihua, the second brother of Xie Shi. If you don't mind, the boy called me and thanked him for being second brother. Thank you for taking care of this boy along the way." He said with a look on his face. Curved and gentle in temperament.
