The sun rises and the sky glows, the sky is clear and the air is clear.
Under the clouds and sky, a stream of pure spiritual energy surrounds the valley. Looking down from the mountain, one can see a large spiritual field spread out, surrounded by continuous green tiles and white walls.
There is no rice or wheat planted on the spiritual field, but if you look closely, you can see medicinal herbs full of spiritual energy growing in the field. From time to time, medicinal farmers look left and right walking on the ridges, carefully checking the status of the medicinal herbs. And the harvest of medicinal materials in these spiritual fields is related to their contribution to the settlement at the end of the year, so no matter the wind or the sun, no one dares to relax.
At the end of the year, deacons and disciples from the sect will come to inspect the medicinal fields. According to the growth status of the elixir and the fertility of the land, four levels are evaluated: A, B, C and D. Among them, A is the highest and D is the lowest. The best ones will also receive additional rewards. And whether it is the contribution given based on the assessment level or this other reward, they will eventually become the various resources they need for practice.
For the outer sect disciples who have no background and poor family support, this will be a rare way to practice and the best choice to touch the immortal fate.
As long as you practice diligently and break through to the integration stage within a certain age, you can enter Zhaoyan and become an inner sect disciple. At that time, you will really leap over the dragon gate and ascend in one day.
Several outer disciples hurriedly walked through the fields and caught a glimpse of a figure lying on the ground, but they couldn't help showing a bit of envy.
The woman put her hands behind her head and held a weed from nowhere in her mouth. She looked completely bored. However, the deacon disciple who supervised the place was respectful to her and did not even dare to say a harsh word. , although everyone felt dissatisfied, they also guessed that this person's identity must be very complicated.
Huang Guan naturally knew that this person's identity was extraordinary. If he hadn't been sent here to guard the medicine fields, he would never have been able to meet such a proud man like Zhaohui.
Personally passed down by the headmaster, a disciple of Taiyan Jiuxuan lineage. Although she is young, her seniority is extremely high. If we really want to talk about it, Immortal Qin in the sect would have to call her Junior Uncle.
Half a month ago, two black-robed law enforcement disciples from Feishan arrived here and wanted to arrange for Zhaohui to be punished in the medicine field under his jurisdiction. After Huang Guan inquired around, he realized that this ancestor seemed to be injured. The same sect was sentenced to guarding the medicine field.
For this reason, he was even more cautious, fearing to offend Chaohui and avoid being punished.
"It's blocking it."
Huang Guan was stunned, but the woman in front of him had already stood up. She was very tall, half a head taller than Huang Guan himself, with a well-proportioned and slender figure, a face as bright as the morning glow, but extremely intense eyes. There is a feeling of oppression.
Long eyebrows went into the temples, with a pair of phoenix eyes slightly bulging underneath, with a sullen expression on his face, which made Huang Guan tremble in fright.
He stood on the ridge of the field, not knowing what he was blocking, but he still responded obediently, and quickly fled from Zhaohui's sight, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time.
After Huang Guan left the place, Chao Hui snorted coldly, stretched out his foot and kicked the bushes nearby, saying: "He's gone, get out of here."
I heard an "ouch" coming from the bushes, and then someone rolled out and crawled out.
He covered his shoulders and grinned: "This kick almost killed your nephew."
Zhao Hui narrowed his eyes and watched the young man pretending, but never said a word.
As if he didn't hear the echo, the young man quickly smiled playfully, clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "Uncle, why are you unhappy? Whoever messed with you, my nephew will take it out on you."
"You have the nerve to say that, Chi Shen!" Zhao Hui grabbed the young man's collar and gritted his teeth, "If I had known those people were cowards who couldn't afford to be fooled, why would you still be dealing with them? It was agreed that the winner in the ring would take everything. They turned around and refused to admit it. I just taught them a lesson, but they were sent to the mountain of trouble. This is really the way of a villain!"
Chi Shen just grinned, but he was already complaining in his heart.
Among this group of people who were "taught a lesson", there were disciples from the Eighteen Cave Heavens, as well as members of the family's bloodline. Zhaohui moved his hands without knowing the importance of it. Several disciples returned to the sect to show others, but they all offended the elders in the sect. Shocked and angry, he was sued all the way to Mount Feifei.
After Zhaohui was angry, he pushed Chi Shen's collar forward, let go and said, "It's really unlucky that I met Baili Yue on duty at the Law Enforcement Hall. Unlucky!"
As a direct descendant of the head of the sect, no matter where she goes, others must be courteous, so even if the defendant reaches Feifei Mountain, she does not feel that she will be punished for these small things. Unexpectedly, the disciple who was on duty at the Law Enforcement Hall that day happened to be Baili Yue. This man came from a poor family, and he couldn't stand the disciples who behaved recklessly and acted recklessly based on their status. Zhaohui was sent to Wenxian Valley to guard the spiritual field, so he That's what he condemned.
Baili Yue was supposed to be punished more severely, but Zhenying disciples did not have much power in their hands, and the punishment had to be discussed with his colleagues, so Zhaohui's punishment was reduced a lot.
Seeing that she was gradually losing her temper, Chi Shen stepped forward with a low voice and persuaded: "Uncle, why should I be angry about these things?" He winked and raised his eyebrows and said, "I got a new good thing, you see. Don’t you want to see it?”
After saying that, without waiting for Hai Qing to nod, he raised his sleeves and spread them to the side.
Unexpectedly, something shook out of his sleeve. After falling to the ground, a white light suddenly appeared. Suddenly the white light dispersed, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a figure that was exactly the same as Chaohui.
"Here, sowing the beans leads to an army, that's awesome."
Chao Hui glanced at it and said angrily: "It's just a puppet, it doesn't have any magical powers."
"This is no ordinary puppet!" Chi Shen lowered his voice and said, "Master, isn't he about to ascend? At that time, manpower will be needed for the Immortal Ascension Conference, so Senior Brother ordered the Artifact Making Department to rush to work on a batch of gold and stone puppets. I heard that he was going to ascend. This thing is almost indistinguishable from a real person, even its appearance can be shaped at will——"
"You dare to take this thing casually," Chao Hui heard the veins on his forehead twitching. He just wanted to slap Chi Shen on the head, but he was afraid of beating him even more stupidly. "If Immortal Qin finds out, what will happen?" You feel good!"
Chi Shen waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, what I took is just a defective item. The Weapon Making Department will not pursue it, let alone-"
He chuckled: "It's so boring to look after the medicine fields. Now that I have a puppet instead, wouldn't Master Uncle feel more comfortable?"
Zhaohui glanced at the gold and stone puppet with suspicion, but thoughts were already swirling in his mind. She has a free and unrestrained temperament. If she really wants her to stay here honestly, it would be better to kill her. Now the way to escape is right in front of her. Chaohui didn't want to worry about anything. Anyway, monks like Huang Guan couldn't tell the difference between puppets and people. Even if she walked away, who would know?
Together, the two of them made up their minds to go down the mountain.
After all, there are law enforcement disciples patrolling everywhere in the sect. Going to the inner sect is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. It is better to take this opportunity to go to the foot of the mountain to have some fun and relax.
When Chaohui was still in her infancy, she was brought back to the house by the headmaster Cui You. Her name and surname were also taken by Cui You, which means "when the sun shines out, the light shines everywhere". As for who her biological parents are, she has no idea. I have never seen it before, but I only know from Cui You's mouth that she was born in Yuanxi Town near Zhaoyan, and her parents were ordinary people who had no immortality. It was Cui You who saw that she had the talent to practice Taoism, so he took her to the Taoist cultivator. She brought Zhao Yan back.
Somehow, even though she had no memory of her homeland, she still felt a sense of longing, forcing her to go to Yuanxi Town.
There are several large cities under Zhaoyan's jurisdiction, and there are even more towns like Yuanxi. The two of them climbed over mountains and ridges and crossed several streams and rivers. When they saw the sun setting to the west and the sunset filling the sky, they landed next to a clear stream. The sound of water here is gurgling, and several children wearing linen clothes are playing. Behind them is a low wall, with houses in the wall and smoke from cooking.
Seeing a stranger coming, several children timidly suppressed their smiles. One of the bold ones, who seemed to be the leader of the group, asked Zhaohui and the others: "Where are you from, and what do you have?" matter?"
The child's voice was childish and vaguely defensive.
Yuanxi Town is located in a remote place. Even the nearest city is far away, and there are two day and night tutorials. Therefore, most people in the town have several fields to grow rice and wheat to be self-sufficient. If they have extra, they can go to the city to ask monks to come over to cultivate the land and grow a few acres of spiritual rice to sell in the city. Therefore, although Yuanxi Town is small, it is by no means considered poor.
It's just that the clothes of Zhao Hui and the two men obviously don't look like the common people in the town. Even the wealthy families in the city rarely dress like this. Although these children are innocent in nature, they can still identify others based on their clothing and appearance. Now when they saw Zhao Hui and Chi Shen, they knew that they must have come from far away.
Zhaohui was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He thought for a moment and replied, "I used to be from Yuanxi Town, and I came here specifically to have a look today."
As soon as he said these words, Chi Shen beside him looked slightly surprised. Zhao Hui was about the same age as him. It was said that he was brought back to the door by the head immortal when he was young, so he paid homage to his mentor. At that time, the other party was already the head of the sect. As for where he came from, not many people in the sect knew about it.
She had no reason to lie to these children, not to mention she was quite straightforward. When Chi Shen thought about it, she knew that her origins in Yuanxi Town should be true.
After hearing Zhaohui say that he was from the town, the faces of several children also showed some doubts. Children of this age are always full of joy and anger. After thinking about it for a while, the bold one said to his friends: "Then she is just like the Fifth Master. She came back from learning magic skills outside."
After hearing this, the little girl with a double bun blinked her eyes and asked innocently: "Sister, what magic do you know? Can you make seeds germinate with just one breath like the Fifth Master?"
Dekun Hall gathers all kinds of magic, and small magic like this to stimulate grass sprouts is not even qualified to be included in the palace collection. Chao Hui smiled slightly and leaned down to answer the girl, but at this moment, waves of shouting came from behind him, causing the children to panic and start running towards the town.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and parents were also calling their children to go home. Chaohui straightened up and looked at the woman with her arms akimbo by the low wall. The girl who had her hair in a bun was now throwing herself in her mother's arms. Acting coquettishly, the woman's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "Where did these two immortal masters come from?"
With your adult's eyesight, you can see that Zhao Hui and the two are definitely ordinary people. Later, when she learned that the other party was from Yuanxi Town, the woman was even more surprised and said quickly: "I will take you two to see Wu. Lord!"
The fifth master in her mouth was called Li Chan from the town. Because he was only a foundation-building monk, he was already very old.
Li Chan was quite good at arithmetic when he was young, so he worked as an accountant for a wealthy family in the city. The wealthy family had a medicinal business, and he had regular contacts with some servants in the monks' mansion. These servants were respectful in front of the monks, but when they came to ordinary people In front of the common people, he is very arrogant. After Li Chan saw more of these, he began to have the idea of cultivating Taoism in his heart.
When it comes to which is the largest sect nearby, there is probably no other answer besides Zhao Yan. Li Chan admired the Taoism of the Immortal family, and after making up his mind, he packed up his bags and went to Wenxian Valley to seek immortality. Fortunately, he does have spiritual roots, but his qualifications are really mediocre. After decades of cultivation, he can only barely build a foundation. And if he wants to become an inner disciple, his hope is slim.
From being ambitious when he was young to feeling discouraged after not making any progress for many years, Li Chan finally realized that he was indeed not a person blessed by luck, so at the age of 70, he returned to Yuanxi Town. He took care of the people in the town with his own knowledge, and now he has become a virtuous and respected person in Yuanxi Town.
As soon as he saw the two of them, he suddenly stood up from his seat, made a respectful salute and said, "Little Li Chan, I have met these two seniors."
Although the monks in Wenxian Valley claim to be disciples of the Zhaoyan outer sect, they have not actually been recognized by the sect, and they are not like formal disciples who can leave a jade talisman and light a lamp of immortality in Jiudu Hall. Soul lamp. Therefore, Li Chan did not dare to falsely call himself a disciple of Zhaoyan, and usually only showed himself to outsiders as a casual cultivator.
Because they escaped secretly, Zhao Hui and Chi Shen took off their identity talismans early. She called Li Chan to stand up, but asked with a hint of urgency: "How long have you been staying in Yuanxi Town?"
"It can't be that long, it's exactly sixty years now." Li Chan saw that the aura of the two men was as strong as Yuan Yue, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he lowered his attitude and said humbly.
Zhaohui was overjoyed when he heard this and walked up the half-walk: "More than forty years ago, there was a family in this town who had a daughter taken away to practice Taoism shortly after giving birth?"
She has now reached Fenxuan cultivation level, and her life span has passed forty. Fortunately, Li Chan has stayed in Yuanxi Town for many years. According to the monk's memory, such special things should not be forgotten.
As expected, Li Chan looked stunned after hearing this. He looked Zhao Hui up and down, and then said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the senior was the one..."
Li Chan paused suddenly, seeming to realize that he had made a mistake, so he softened his tone and said, "In just a few decades, my senior has achieved what he is today. He is really talented, far better than my generation."
When he heard that Li Chan knew her life experience, Zhao Hui asked: "Then do you know the name of this family and who is still here in Yuanxi Town?"
"Uncle Master!" Chi Shen's expression suddenly changed. He gently pulled Zhao Hui's sleeve and said, "I have been out for a long time today. I'd better go back first. Don't make the elders unhappy."
He always had a playful smile and rarely showed such a solemn and serious expression, but Zhaohui didn't know why Chi Shen suddenly asked her to return to the sect, and she still had unanswered questions in her heart. There seemed to be an idea that drove her to get to the bottom of the matter. She understood, so she just frowned at Chi Shen's words, obviously not wanting to agree to the other party's words.
Seeing this, Chi Shen felt more and more uneasy. Fortunately, Li Chan came out to smooth things over and explained to Zhaohui: "It's not that I don't want to tell you two, but that soon after the senior left, that family They moved to other places, and now more than 40 years have passed, and we and other people in the town don’t know where they have gone.”
"However," Li Chan bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Senior, please listen to me, an old man who has half of his body buried in the earth. Let this past matter be in the past. Senior, now the road is open and smooth. Let's wait and see again. Over the past few decades, all the past has been turned into dust, so why should we care about this?"
Zhao Hui didn't say a word and was just silent when he heard the words. Li Chan sighed secretly when he saw this, but turned around and took out a wooden box from the inside.
"This was left by the person who took away my senior. He once told me that when the daughter of that family comes to town in the future, I should open this wooden box and let her take a look."
After saying that, he opened the wooden box and placed it in front of Zhaohui.
There was nothing else in the box except a piece of gray paper. Chao Hui looked at it carefully and saw handwriting on the paper, which read: "Those who don't lose and don't forget will stay in the past; those who don't ask and don't seek will live long and prosperous lives." ", and the owner of this trace is very familiar to Yu Chaohui. It is her mentor, Cui You, the head of the Sixth Generation of Zhaoyan!
The moment she saw the handwriting on the paper, a puff of fresh air seemed to rush towards Zhao Hui's eyebrows, causing a sense of fear to surge into her heart.
She took a few steps back and stopped asking about what happened in the past. It was also at this moment that Zhaohui discovered that his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had been confused by thoughts before.
But the strange thing is that she doesn't even know where this obsession comes from, and in the past few decades, she has never had such a strong obsession with her life experience as she does today.
Zhao Hui felt something was wrong, so he glanced sideways at Chi Shen, nodded and said, "I'll go back first."
The other party secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly and said yes, but remembered today's strangeness in his heart. After bidding farewell to Li Chan together with Zhaohui, he immediately rushed back to the sect.
With the strength of the two of them, it was already dawn outside the Wenxian Valley. Perhaps because of the Yuanxi Town group, Chaohui was still a little uneasy. As he was walking quickly, he saw that Chi Shen had a strange look on his face. She slowed down and whispered: "Uncle Master, we two may not be able to leave today."
Chao Hui frowned and looked forward following Chi Shen's gaze. He saw two black-robed disciples standing in the medicine field. One of them was a tall man with a resolute face and long hair shawl, which seemed to be wanton and flamboyant. When he saw Zhao Hui and Chi Shen returning together, his expression became even more unkind, and he said coldly: "You two left the clan without permission. What crime should you deserve?"
Chi Shen smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "I didn't know that Senior Brother Baili was here, haha, I'm so far away from you—"
His words suddenly stopped, but his eyes fell on Baili Yue's feet. Looking at the gold and stone puppet that had become a pile of scrap metal, he felt as if he was being strangled and was speechless.
"Stealing things belonging to the Utensil-Making Department and using them to aid Zhou's cruelty should be punished by an additional degree." Baili Yue couldn't help but convict Chi Shen.
"As for you," he gritted his teeth and looked at Zhaohui. He was extremely angry at this person who refused to change despite repeated admonitions and was constantly complaining about his pain. "You left your post without permission during the punishment period and you still don't follow me to the execution hall for trial!"
Zhao Hui curled his lips and without even saying a word to him, he picked up Chi Shen and walked towards Not Fei Mountain.
When they arrived outside the execution hall, a figure rushed over, waved to Baili Yue and said, "This matter will be judged by this elder. You two will go down first."
Baili Yue glared angrily, knowing that someone had tipped off the news and summoned the elder of the torture hall in front of him. The other party was deeply loved by Cui You, and he loved his disciples as much as they loved him. Zhaohui was often protected by these elders, so he planned to kill him first and then punish him, and then report the punishment to his superiors, so as not to let the matter go unsolved again.
"The elder is busy, so this matter should be handled by the disciples -"
Baili Yue spoke quickly, but was still interrupted by the other party, saying: "Okay Qingzheng, I know what you have planned in your heart, but the Immortal Master is about to ascend, and everything in the sect should be based on this. You can do this." Just don’t worry about it for now, I have my own plans.”
The other party had a tough attitude and brought in the Immortal Master. Even though Baili Yue was not afraid to argue with him, he could not disobey the Master's wishes.
Cui You's love for his disciples is well known to everyone in the sect. The elder in front of him wholeheartedly supports the leader, and it is probably impossible to sway him.
"Yes, disciple, please retire." Baili Yue gritted his teeth, his face gloomy, and after giving Zhao Hui and Chi Shen a fierce look, he turned around and left with his colleagues.
As expected, the elder of the execution hall did not make things difficult for the two of them. He only gave a few words of sincere instruction and ordered the two of them to return to the cave to be confined for three months. Other than that, there was no other punishment.
Chi Shen breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the cave as if he had been granted amnesty. When he entered the door, he saw Qin Yishu sitting in the main hall, holding a Taoist book and looking at him. There is no need to explain how frightened he was.
…
The moon is sparse with stars, and there are light clouds that cover up the bright white moonlight.
Zhaohui climbed up the osmanthus tree in front of the door. The cool and gentle night breeze stirred up thoughts in people's hearts, making it difficult for her to calm down.
After a while, a man walked under the tree, smiled gently, and asked, "Did you get into trouble again today?"
This man is in his early twenties, of medium height and thin build. He wears a precious moon crown on his head and an azure coat. He has clear eyebrows and a smile at the corner of his mouth. If he goes outside, I'm afraid no one will be able to tell that he is the current leader of Zhaoyan, Cui You.
Zhao Hui lowered his eyes and looked at him, pursed his lips and said, "Disciple went to Yuanxi Town and met Li Chan."
"My master knows it," Cui You smiled nonchalantly, and jumped up to the tree. He bent down and sat down next to Zhao Hui, his eyes calm and gentle, "When I brought you back to the sect, my master knew it. There will definitely be this day. Fortunately, what happened today is over, and with the words of wisdom I have left for you, those obstacles will no longer bother you."
Zhaohui was puzzled and looked at him doubtfully, and asked: "Many people in the sect know their family backgrounds, but they are not seen trapped in the world, so why can't the disciples find or ask?"
"Haha," Cui You laughed loudly and answered her, "I made these arrangements because my teacher made some calculations and knew that your destiny would be here. As for others, I can only say that this person is related to People have different fates, do you understand that?"
"Really," Zhao Hui turned around and curled his lips and said, "To put it more simply, in the past, when a disciple smashed Uncle Mao's Qianshanwanren screen, you told him that he was destined to have this calamity. , so it’s not my fault as a disciple, but more seriously, my senior brother doesn’t want to be the leader, so you also tell him that this is an arrangement of destiny, and ask him not to mess around.
"In the eyes of Master, destiny has always been greater than anything else. Now that you explain this, the disciples will reluctantly believe it."
Cui You laughed for a moment and said in a slow tone: "Among Master Chu's disciples, the second senior brother Meng Congde has the highest reputation, and the sixth senior sister Xun Shengyi has the best qualifications. However, the leader finally selected has a gentle temperament and treats me well." Wait for the third senior sister who has always been tolerant. Perhaps it is because of this that the senior brothers and sisters find it difficult to convince each other."
"But you were the one who became the leader in the end," Zhaohui grinned, "I'm afraid no one expected it!"
"No," Cui You looked at her seriously, shook his head and said, "Master... I figured it out."
Apart from Chu Yunkai, almost no one else knows about his ability to understand numerology. So when his mentor appointed the third senior sister Qi Ruohuai as the head of the sect, but he never saw in Qi Ruohuai her destiny to lead the sect, Cui You only felt infinite fear.
He knew very well that he was mediocre and could not bear to compete with his senior brothers and sisters, and he did not expect that the fate of being the leader would fall on him.
But everything that happened later told Cui You that his calculation was not wrong. Xun Shengyi is arrogant and arrogant, while Meng Congde is cold and ruthless. Kang Jingyun, the fifth senior brother who was supported by aristocratic families, is not taken seriously by Taiyan Jiuxuan's lineage. The final winner of the Nine Immortals Rebellion should have been Qi Ruohuai, who was ordered by Master Chu to take over as the leader.
But who could have thought that the battle with Xun Shengyi would damage her Dao fruit, causing Qi Ruohuai to be reincarnated, and finally elected Cui You to succeed him as the leader.
Everyone else thought that he, Cui You, was lucky enough to intercept the victory from Qi Ruohuai, but only Cui You himself knew that the final outcome of the Nine Immortals Rebellion had already been decided from the moment Master Chu appointed the leader. .
He just followed the general trend...
"My whole life, I have been like a prisoner of destiny," Cui You smiled bitterly and looked at Zhaohui sadly, "As a teacher, I have only done one thing that went against destiny."
Zhaohui waited quietly for his next words, but Cui You remained silent and just stared at the night sky from afar.
Today, the stars are sparse and their light is dim. Only one star shines brightly in the night.
"Haixingxing." Zhaohui murmured.
The star that hangs under the Heavenly Gate and begins to shine at the time of Haishi. Wherever the Haishi star is, it means where the Heavenly Gate has moved. If the monks in the world want to ascend, they must be guided by this star, so as to sense the specific location of the Tianmen. location.
"Now that I'm leaving, I will give you something as a gift."
"What?" Zhaohui asked
"I should have given it to you earlier, but it was delayed until today," Cui Youyao pointed to the night sky and said, "How about I give you a Taoist title, let's call it Haiqing?"
"Master, is this a sudden idea?"
"No, I just suddenly sensed destiny." Cui You shook his head in denial, his face unchanged and his heart not beating.
The night breeze is gentle and the osmanthus trees are fragrant. The people who are about to leave are leaving, but the people who are seeing them off have not returned yet.
…
On the day of Cui You's ascension meeting, Feng Shi finally came back after a long journey.
"Disciple is late, I hope my teacher will forgive me." His face was unusually gloomy, and anyone around him could feel Feng Shijie's unusually obvious unhappiness.
"It's good to come, it's good to come." Cui You nodded and smiled, without any intention of blaming the disciple. He only asked him to sit down and sit down with Wen Sui and Chaohui.
During the dinner, Zhao Hui couldn't help but ask him: "Senior brother, why are you back now? After today, Master...Master Mao will definitely have to read you a few more words."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she remembered that Mao Dingshan was famous for being taciturn, and after Cui You left, no one else would probably come to tell her any more, so she felt a little sad after losing his words.
But when she raised her head, she was surprised to find that Feng Shi was still in a trance. The senior sister Wen Sui next to her couldn't help but look worried and asked a few questions.
"It's okay." Feng Shi actually sat down, and when Zhaohui looked again, he had returned to his former appearance of a clear breeze and bright moon.
Fortunately, the meeting to ascend to immortality went quite smoothly. Cui You was successful in cultivating Taoism. When he opened the gate of heaven, there was immortal music floating in the air, which made everyone envious.
After everyone had gone, Mao Dingshan stepped forward and said majestically: "According to the master's words, the master's nephew should succeed and take charge of the sect. And the position of the master should not remain vacant for too long, so the master's nephew should be the successor." You have to make plans early.”
Feng Shi nodded slightly and responded, "You can follow your uncle's arrangements. I have no objection."
Mao Dingshan was surprised by his obedience. After looking at each other and Wen Sui, he made up his mind and said: "Then the succession ceremony will be scheduled for three days later. At that time, we will enshrine the Zen to worship our ancestors. If my nephew agrees, I will wait for him." You can start preparing today.”
"Excuse me, Uncle Master and all the immortals." Feng Shi all nodded.
While the two were talking, Zhao Hui stood beside Wen Sui. She was immersed in the sadness of her mentor's ascension, so she never saw Feng Shi's bleak gaze like Wen Sui did.
Cui You's ascension made everyone in the sect busy with the handover of the headship, and no one had time to care whether Chi Shen and Zhao Hui were still in confinement.
However, that day, when Zhaohui was sitting under the osmanthus tree, he saw Chi Shen running towards him in a hurry. His face was full of panic and he was so anxious that when he saw Zhaohui, he shouted:
"Uncle, my mentor is missing!"
Chaohui stood up in a flash and took Chi Shen to Yuandu Cave without asking.
The next day was the succession ceremony, but Feng Shi was nowhere to be seen. With such a huge event, the ones who should be worried the most are naturally Wen Sui and Mao Dingshan!
When she and Chi Shen rushed outside the palace, Mao Dingshan's voice was unmistakable. He said: "Senior nephew Wen, please stop making excuses. You are also a direct descendant of the sect leader and belong to the Taiyan Jiuxuan lineage. Now Feng Shi If you are not here, who else can be more legitimate than you?
"Tomorrow is the succession ceremony, and the invitations from my party have been sent out a long time ago. If no one is there when the ancestors are enshrined, wouldn't all the sects in the world laugh at me, Zhaoyan and nephew Wen? This is a last resort. !”
After Mao Dingshan finished speaking, other voices echoed in his voice. Wen Sui stood among the crowd with a worried face, but his usual calmness and calmness were nowhere to be seen.
Zhaohui stood blankly at the door, watching his senior sister agree to the matter amidst the urging, but he firmly refused to agree to take over as the leader. He only said that he could not disobey his teacher's order, so he could only take over the position temporarily. All the immortals were relieved for this, but no one could understand Wen Sui's deep concern for his junior brother.
Just like that day when Cui You ascended, no one could understand the helpless confusion in Zhao Hui's heart.
…
It had been more than two hundred years since Feng Shi had left. Wen Sui took over the position of head in uneasiness. With Mao Dingshan assisting him, nothing happened.
As for why Wen Sui was the temporary leader and what happened, the other nine sects of the Righteous Path all remained silent. They regarded it as Zhaoyan's internal affairs and did not dare to interfere. Only Yi Xuan Jian Sect asked more questions, but in the end he was blocked by Mao Dingshan.
For Zhaohui, life seems to have not changed much, but because her cultivation has gradually increased, others no longer regard her as a child.
She still liked to climb the laurel tree in front of the house in the dead of night. All things are subject to changes, but only Haiming remains the same. Hai Qing, Hai Qing, she may have begun to like this Taoist name, so she no longer wants to be called by her first name, and only lets others call her by this name.
Chao Huizai looked at it carefully, but could not see the outline of Tianmen from the star. She was thinking, where will the master go after ascending from Tianmen? Will the laws of nature and destiny still trap him? Where did that senior brother go and why hasn't he returned yet?
The brighter stars were reflected in her eyes, and the brilliant light stretched out a long tail on the stars.
Zhaohui was slightly stunned, but the long tail became more and more obvious. The stars that had existed since the founding of the Three Thousand Worlds fell downwards in her horrified eyes today, until they disappeared at the end of the night.
…
The star of Hai has fallen!
What followed was countless chaos.
The sky sea in the south of the boundary boils endlessly, and the boundless sea water seems to be boiled away, and the deep cracks in the dome begin to be exposed. Without the obstruction of the sky and sea, the violent energy from outside the boundary sweeps in, causing countless casualties in the entire southern land, and thousands of creatures are destroyed by the deep sea. The rift sucked away the outside world and then shattered into the void.
The demon monks in the Jingshan Ghost Domain panicked and fled, even going beyond the boundaries set by Taiyi Golden Immortal. The evil cultivators who poured into the Northland began to kill innocent people, using nearby sects as human sacrifices, and unscrupulously took advantage of the approaching catastrophe to carry out their evil thoughts.
The Demonic Abyss under the Zhenxu Divine Sect also moved frequently, so much so that in just three months, hundreds of letters asking for help were sent to the two major immortal sects.
Junling Cave, Quanyu Palace.
Wen Sui summoned all the immortals here and made up his mind, saying: "Yaori Island sent a letter asking for help. The three Sun Palace clans suffered heavy losses. The eldest son and eldest daughter of Emperor Hengxu both died. The Brahma Kite wise man of the six-winged bluebird clan was seriously injured and reincarnated. , the leader of the Jinyu Dapeng clan is also dead. Now the Sun Palace alone cannot stop the fall of Tianhai!"
The immortals looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The fall of four powerful men at the immortal level shows how terrifying the power of this catastrophe is!
His heart was heavy, and now he shouted in unison: "But listen to the instructions of the Immortal Master!"
Wen Suirong nodded and said in a deep voice: "The change in the sky and the sea is not unrelated to the fall of Star Hai. At that time, I will go south with the head of the Taiyuan Taoist sect, Shi, to see how to prevent this catastrophe. In addition, stationed at The two sword immortals Xi and Liang from Jienan Tianhai will help me, so you don't have to worry too much.
"As for Zhenxu Divine Sect's request for help, we have to ask Uncle Master and Junior Brother Han to help."
Mao Dingshan nodded in agreement, and gestured slightly to his disciple Han Xuzheng, saying: "Please rest assured, Master, my master and disciple will do their best."
"The evil monks from the Jingshan Ghost Realm came out in droves, causing much unrest in the North. I asked my two junior sisters, Zhang Xianren and Zhu Xianren, to take action on my behalf." With that said, Wen Sui made another arrangement. .
Zhang Yun and Zhu Miaoyun responded in unison, with solemn expressions.
"As for the matters within the sect, I will leave them all to you, nephew Qin."
After that, Wen Sui ordered a few more people to go with her to Tianhai to investigate the situation. All the immortals were convinced by her, so they had no objections.
After the immortals left, a figure ran out of the inner hall and knelt in front of Wen Sui.
Zhaohui looked resolutely and shouted: "Sister, I want to go to Tianhai with you!"
Wen Sui, who had always been obedient to her, changed his expression at this moment, and sternly scolded: "A great catastrophe has arisen. How can I allow you to fool around here? Why don't you retreat quickly!"
"Senior sister!" Zhao Hui grabbed the hem of her clothes, his eyes full of pleading, "Let me go, you let me go!"
Seeing Wen Sui's delay in responding, Zhao Hui felt aggrieved, and her sanity was shattered to pieces by her constant worry.
"Master is gone, and senior brother has gone somewhere. Do you want to leave me here alone?"
Wen Sui was startled, then leaned down and held her hand, his expression gradually softened. The two looked at each other, but no matter how hard Chaohui begged, Wen Sui never agreed.
Hundreds of years have passed, but Zhaohui has never met his senior sister again.
Only when the world was settled and all the people were overjoyed to be resurrected after the calamity, the news that Wen Sui had destroyed the Tao and turned into a Sanxian was like a blow to the head that hit her heart.
"I see thousands of people rejoicing about the future, but I am the only one weeping because your path is ruined.
"This is a despicable selfishness that I dare not speak out under the righteousness praised by the world."
Zhaohui stood dullly in front of the osmanthus tree, watching the star slowly rising into the night sky. Endless unwillingness welled up in her heart, so she slapped the tree with her palm, causing the fire to roll up and climb up.
When Cui You brought her back to the sect, he planted this osmanthus tree for her in front of the house. Now it has been burned to the ground and no longer exists.
In the face of the great calamity of heaven and earth, her sense of powerlessness due to her weakness made her resort to self-destruction in an attempt to vent her grief and anger.
When Feng Shi saw this scene, he could only respond silently.
"Why did you come back at this time?" Zhaohui lowered his head and refused to look at him. He asked and answered, "Forget it, you never refused to say it."
She walked straight past Feng Shijing, so she never saw the complicated look in his eyes.
After Zhaohui left, he smiled miserably, stepped into the ashes of the osmanthus tree, and broke off the last living branch with his own hands.
"The great catastrophe of heaven and earth begins from now on...it begins with me!"
…
Mao Dingshan's voice was as majestic as before, which made Zhaohui irritated.
She knelt with the disciples of Taiyan Jiuxuan lineage. Behind her was Chi Shen with a solemn face. Immortal Qin stood on a high place and handed over the seal to the successor head with his own hands.
All the immortals felt deeply reassured by the return of their leader, as if everything would be as before after Qianfan passed away.
After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Zhao Hui stood bored among the disciples, with small, new grass sprouts emerging from the cracks in the masonry at her feet.
She thought sadly that it was spring again.
It should have been released earlier, and the first draft was not satisfied. After repairing it, I found that it was better to flatten and re -write, so I re -raised the outline and started writing. It is expected to be 5,000 words, but I did not expect that there were actually 10,000. Today, please see Fanwai.
There are not many spoilers in this article, and those who do not catch up with the latest chapter can also be seen.
Finally, I can learn from Master's loyalty to the sun and the moon!
