Xia Wutong gasped and asked, "Junior sister, how long have you been going to Phoenix Mountain? What state were you in when you went up the mountain?"
The young lady took out the silk scarf and wiped the sweat on her forehead while replying: "I came here with the master last autumn, so it's been a year. When I came to the sect, I seemed to be at the eighth level of Qi Gathering. ? Oops, senior sister, I forgot."
Xia Wutong was startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "Damn girl, you actually broke through one major realm and six minor realms in one year... Are you the banshee of Phoenix Mountain?"
The young lady said seriously: "Actually, senior sister... aren't you at a higher level than me? Why are you making fun of me?"
Xia Wutong looked at the young lady beside him, subconsciously thinking of all his past experiences in the Central Territory, and his body became slightly stiff.
After a moment of silence, he looked at the young lady and asked gently: "Junior sister... I heard from the master that you have only been practicing for about two years. Do you know how many years I have been practicing?"
The young lady chuckled and said, "Is it true that my senior sister's cultivation is shorter than mine? That senior sister must be a female monster from Qingcheng. I told you that I can't beat you."
Xia Wutong turned to look at her and said quietly: "I have been practicing since I was three years old, and I have been following the master since I was six years old. If you think about it, I have been following the master for almost four years."
The young lady tilted her head and looked at her, not knowing how to answer the senior sister's words at this moment.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Senior sister, actually I'm just lucky. When I met my master, I also met Mr. Mo from our city. He also taught me something. Otherwise, my current state would still be very bad."
Xia Wutong smiled and touched the little sister's head and said, "It doesn't matter, we are two sisters. If you have a good opportunity in the future, just really think about my sister."
The young lady smiled and replied: "Senior sister, please don't worry, I will definitely keep the good things for you."
When Xia Wutong heard this, there was some happiness on his face. He got up from the ground, patted the grass seeds on his body, carried the small bamboo basket brought by the young lady, and jumped towards the grass not far away. Walk among the flowers.
Now that we have come to the fairyland on earth, although there are no spiritual fruits in this season, we can pick a basket of flowers and take them back. I believe the master and uncle will also be happy. .
Today there is no sunshine in the mountains and forests, only thick white mist wrapping countless flower trees, which look like a dream, and the summer phoenix trees are like elves jumping in the sea of flowers.
When the young lady saw this scene, she also climbed up from the grass, shouted "Senior sister, wait for me", and ran towards Xia Wutong with all her strength.
The autumn wind on Phoenix Mountain mixed with the fragrance of flowers, gently blowing on the faces of the two little girls. She jumped through the wild flowers, her hands dancing gently, and it was a beautiful scenery, quietly rippling here. In a small world.
...
On the fifth evening when Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong came to Phoenix Mountain, Xu Jingyun told her senior sister that her state and mood had almost adjusted to the best time, and she should be able to take the pill to break through in the next day or two.
A group of four people had dinner, quietly making tea on the terrace of the small building and watching the autumn lake scenery.
Tang Qiuyu held the tea cup in her hand, looked at Xu Jingyun, and said softly: "Senior sister has finally completed the task assigned by the master. Being able to watch the junior sister enter this threshold, it will not take many years for us sisters to be together." You can go to the master together and listen to her teachings."
Xu Jingyun nodded and murmured: "In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years since the master left us, so fast."
Tang Qiuyu didn't speak, just looked at the big lake downstairs quietly, where several plump white geese were foraging in the lake downstairs.
One of the big geese stretched out its neck melodiously and stared at Tang Qiuyu upstairs with big eyes, as if to say: Who are you and why have I never seen you before? Seeing no response from the people upstairs, it shook its head and stretched its neck into the calm flowing lake water.
There was a sound of commotion in the lake, and countless fish were frightened and swam quickly around. The white goose was not in a hurry, as if it came here not to peck, but to take a look at Keren upstairs.
The white goose raised its head from the water, proudly raised its white neck and quacked at the small building a few times, then stretched its neck into the lake water again, and then repeated this action, showing great patience.
Tang Qiuyu was shocked speechless by the scene in the lake... This white goose was actually washing its neck under the small building, not to eat the fish in the lake.
Xu Jingyun looked at Tang Qiuyu who was in a daze and said with a smile: "The geese in the big lake are fed by the disciples of the sect with rice every day. As time goes by, they will no longer eat the fish in the lake."
"It's as if they are proud to think that protecting the fish in the lake is their most important task. It's like us two sisters, we are proud to think that protecting these two little guys is the most important thing in our lives."
Xia Wutong and her little sister listened to Xu Jingyun's words and giggled on the side, thinking that their master was indeed protecting them like a big white goose in the lake.
Tang Qiuyu was shocked and speechless. How could there be a goose in the world that didn't eat fish? He thought to himself that the Phoenix Sect was really a different place.
The young lady looked at the big white geese in the lake, and suddenly remembered the poems she saw in Li Ye's study, and couldn't help but murmur softly:
Goose, goose, goose, singing to the sky.
White hair floats on the green water, and anthurium stirs the clear waves.
After reciting a few lines, my heart has already flown back to Fengyun City thousands of miles away, as if I have returned to the flower hall of the academy, sitting next to Ye Zhiqiu quietly reading and writing, lying on Li Ye's bed and reciting the Thousand-Character Essay.
Xia Wutong put down the tea cup in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I never expected that junior sister is not only good at martial arts, but also writes rare articles in the world."
Tang Qiuyu looked at the young lady with a smile and said gently: "Wushuang, I never thought that the poems you wrote at such a young age are so neat and elegant."
Xu Jingyun saw the content in the little sister's eyes, and didn't say much, but just turned the fire in the small stove a little brighter.
The young lady Hong came back to her senses. She blushed and didn't know how to answer the next words. She frowned slightly and felt that she was a little stupid at this moment. She obviously didn't write the poem by herself, but she was misunderstood by her uncle and senior sister.
After a slight pause, he said in a low voice: "Uncle, senior sister, I didn't write this poem. I just read it in a good friend's study. I just saw the big white goose in the lake and I couldn't help chanting it. Come out and make you laugh."
"This was written by your friend?" Tang Qiuyu looked at her and asked, "Then your friend must be a very talented guy."
Xu Jingyun shook her head, thinking about Li Ye's appearance. He was obviously a mess in his cultivation, but his poems were written so gorgeously that Li Hongxiu could spend 500 gold coins for a poem.
Thinking of his handsome appearance but extremely poor qualifications, he couldn't help but have some unspeakable feelings, and sighed: "I know that little guy too. He is indeed a genius in Fengyun City in the Eastern Region. His poems can be sold for sale." To five hundred gold coins, Buddhist practice is also deeply loved by the old monks of the Great Buddha Temple."
"His realm has been cultivated for a long time, but there is no progress. But for such a little guy, he met a mysterious gentleman as his master. I really don't know how long it will take for him to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the unparalleled realm. "
"And Wushuang and I both received the guidance and grace from his master. Otherwise, I and Wushuang would still have to practice for several years before we are where we are now." Thinking about the skills that Mr. Wu gave away for free, Xu Jingyun Couldn't help but sigh quietly.
"Is this the Mr. Mo you mentioned before? Is Wushuang's kung fu still better than Wutong's?" Tang Qiuyu glanced at the young lady and then at his disciple, a little disbelieving.
Xia Wutong looked at his master, lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at the master, and said seriously: "Master, in fact, my junior sister and I have competed on the mountain a few days ago."
"What's the result? Whoever wins, tell the master!" Tang Qiuyu and Xu Jingyun asked at the same time.
The young lady looked at the two of them like two tigresses. She was startled and said softly: "Master, we are joking. Senior sister did not win and I did not lose..." ..."
Xia Wutong felt warm when he saw the young lady speaking for him. He thought they were indeed good sisters, and said with a smile: "Master, uncle, Wushuang, junior sister has cultivated the true energy. I can't beat her in terms of swordsmanship, but I can't fight with her." The two should be on par."
"What? You are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and you have actually comprehended the vitality of heaven and earth that can only be comprehended at the Golden Core stage, and you have actually cultivated your own true energy? Junior sister, is your apprentice a monster? You are not going to let anyone live anymore. "
Tang Qiuyu was finally shocked by the young lady. She had cultivated the true energy at a young age of nine. Who would believe it?
Xu Jingyun looked at her senior sister and didn't know how to comfort her confused mood at the moment.
I could only say softly: "The day you and Wutong came, this little guy hadn't realized the vitality of heaven and earth yet. Maybe she heard me say that she might want to compete with Wutong, and under the huge pressure, she realized it overnight. The vitality of heaven and earth. Even I didn’t know it, and it shocked her.”
"Speaking of this, I have to thank Mr. Mo in Fengyun City. If it weren't for him, Wushuang Duanduan would not have been able to sense the vitality of heaven and earth in advance at the foundation building level. And the disciple Li Ye taught by Mr., although he has innate qualifications Although he has some shortcomings, he is also a genius in terms of perceptual learning.”
Xia Wutong nodded and thought to himself: So this is the truth.
Tang Qiuyu's eyes sparkled as he looked at Xu Jingyun and said, "In this way, Mr. Mo is indeed a reclusive master. Wutong and I are going to the Eastern Region to pay a good visit to these two masters and apprentices."
The four masters and apprentices were chatting animatedly when suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew by, and raindrops fell from the sky without any warning. They landed on the tea table with a tinkling sound. The four people hurriedly moved the tea table into the house. on the tea table.
The young lady returned to her room and took out a hair towel to wipe the faces of Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong. Xu Jingyun went back to her room to wipe off the rainwater on her body and changed into a skirt before coming out.
Tang Qiuyu looked at the sudden autumn rain outside the house and said softly: "The autumn rain is falling, and the night rain is misty. I wonder if the sky in Qingcheng is also raining with autumn rain like it was tonight."
Xu Jingyun walked out of the room with a plate of autumn pear cakes and a plate of fried peanuts, and said with a smile: "Except for the southern region where it is still summer, where in the five regions does it not rain?"
"It's probably snowing in Tianshan Mountain by now." After saying that, he looked back at the young lady and secretly thought that he didn't know what state he and Li Ye had reached after practicing in Tianshan Mountain for a year.
While wiping his hair, Xia Wutong looked at Tang Qiuyu and pouted, "Master, didn't you just say that we were going to Fengyun City in the East Region to visit Mr. Mo?"
Tang Qiuyu was running Xuan Gong to evaporate the water vapor on his body. When he heard Xia Wutong say it, he smiled and replied: "We will visit Dongyu Mansion first, and then go to Fengyun City to visit Mr. Mo."
Xu Jingyun raised her head, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She always felt that she and Shangguan Wushuang were more famous than her senior sister and Xia Wutong, but they did not have much effect in front of Mr. Mo, and it was inevitable that she felt a little sad. .
Besides, the two masters and apprentices didn't know whether they would go down to Tianshan Mountain or not. They didn't say anything and just sighed softly.
It would take half a month at the fastest from Phoenix Mountain to the Eastern Territory, and then cross the town from the Territory Lord's Mansion all the way north. By the time we arrived at Fengyun City, it was already a month later, not counting the time we had to stay at the Eastern Territory Mansion. time.
Seeing that the autumn wind is gradually picking up and the temperature is getting colder, how can the two masters and apprentices who are accustomed to the warm life in the middle region endure the increasingly cold environment, not to mention that Mr. Mo may not come down from the Tianshan Mountains at that time.
Seeing the junior sister not saying a word, with a worried look on her face, Tang Qiuyu couldn't help but stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xu Jingyun's eyes, and then said: "Junior sister, what are you doing? Why did you get distracted while you were talking? Could it be that you What’s on your mind that you don’t want to tell senior sister?”
Xu Jingyun stared at Senior Sister blankly, a faint blush suddenly appeared on her sad face, her eyes were lowered, her thin lips trembled slightly, and she said: "I'm a little worried for Senior Sister..."
Tang Qiuyu was startled, thinking that it had nothing to do with me. Then he asked: "Why are you worried about me..."
Xu Jingyun glanced at Tang Qiuyu, thinking about how to answer so as not to hurt her senior sister's self-esteem, but also to stop her from going to Fengyun City, because when she arrived in Fengyun City, there might be heavy snowfall, and even the best carriages would have difficult roads. OK.
After all, traveling thousands of miles away, it is not uncommon to encounter unexpected things that delay the journey, let alone walking on a muddy road in the autumn rain.
After thinking about it over and over, I had to say: "Sister, I came here to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. It is also so that Wutong can gain mental cultivation while walking, and she will never be in a hurry."
"By the time you arrive at Fengyun City, it may already be snowing heavily, and you are used to the warm climate in the Central Region. How will you face the unimaginable cold at the foot of Tianshan Mountain? Compared with this, the climate of Zhongxuan Territory is nothing to mention."
