Yuan Zhong smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that he would fall out of the three people.
After a small episode, Yuan Chixin continued to move forward.
As soon as he leaves, Yunxia from behind will take Yuan Zhong away.
In this way, the three of them walked forward from the sky above the cliff.
When you reach the other side and land on the ground with one step, you will see a sense of clarity ahead.
The dense forest in front of me and the thick fog all around disappeared in an instant.
At a glance, you can see towering peaks ahead, spreading bluestone and green trees, and gurgling mountain springs and streams.
Looking back, I saw that the cliff was long gone, and there was only a cobblestone road.
Looking at the foot again, it is also a flat stone path.
The stone path goes all the way up the mountain.
Looking up, you can see auspicious lights flowing on the top of the mountain, cranes flying, and a Taoist temple full of ethereal fairy charm standing there.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin pointed to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain and said:
"It seems that the immortal is on the mountain. Let's go up the mountain."
The three of them walked along the stone path and around the mountain.
When we reached the mountainside, we saw a flat land ahead.
There were two boys, a boy and a girl, standing in front of them. Seeing three people coming up, the two boys bowed together and said:
"I've seen a few guests."
Seeing that these two boys seemed to have been waiting for a while, Yuan Chi couldn't help but say:
"Does your faction know that I'm coming?"
The girl said crisply:
"The temple master knew yesterday that several of them were coming today and asked me to greet them here early in the morning."
"I encountered heavy fog and a natural chasm on the way up, which delayed my time and made the two fairy boys wait for a long time."
The boy smiled and said:
“The mist of wisdom and foolishness blocks the common people and releases the virtuous; the abyss of sincerity falls into the wicked and passes over the good.
A few of them passed through the two levels of the Fog-obstructed Heart Abyss without any help. We were already here in advance, so we didn’t have to wait any longer. "
After listening to the two boys' explanation, Yuan Chi felt a little clearer before experiencing it.
At the same time, I also have more expectations for this place, which is indeed not comparable to ordinary Taoist priests.
"Dare I ask, is this the location of the 'Lihaiguan' Immortal Gate?"
"This is where I come from. Here are some guests, please come with me."
The two fairy boys led the way, and the group continued upward.
After a few more laps, we finally reached the top of the mountain.
You can see the Taoist temple in front of you at a glance. This Taoist temple does not look luxurious, but it gives people an ancient feeling.
There are three large ancient characters "Li Hai Guan" on the side. They look powerful and powerful, and it's not just someone who mentioned it.
The two boys said: "Guests, please go to the main hall to offer incense first."
As he said that, he went first, followed by the three others.
At this time, there is a Kun Dao standing in the main hall.
This Kundao's appearance is only 28 years old. He has a pretty face and is full of youthful vitality. He is not extremely beautiful, but it is enough to make people's eyes shine.
The girl who seemed to be standing upright, her hands and feet were obviously a little unnatural, and she made a lot of small movements, which seemed to be nervous, but also seemed to be habitual.
Seeing several people entering the main hall, the girl said in a hurry:
"How many guests...please enjoy your meal...please offer incense!"
Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to offer incense to Lord Dao.
The girl looked on, her eyes flashing, she looked at Yuan Chixin, nodded first, and then shook her head.
Looking at Yuan Zhong, he just shook his head, but looking at Ye Ming, his eyes lit up.
He raised his hand, wanting to say something, but he restrained himself and managed to remain polite and stand still.
After Yuan Zhi finished incense burning, the girl took a deep breath and said again:
"Guys, please come to the living room."
With that said, he hurriedly led the way, but his appearance gave people an uneasy and restless feeling, which was a very incompetent reception.
Along the way I saw many Taoist priests, both men and women.
After these people saw the frizzy girl who was leading the way, they all whispered to each other and pointed at her as if they were laughing.
When the girl saw this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and glared at some of her fellow disciples who were making noises.
Seeing this, several people made faces at the girl and then dispersed.
Soon, several people were brought into the living room.
In the hall, there was Kun Dao who looked like he was in his twenties or in his thirties, but he couldn't tell his age.
The Taoist robe on this Kun Dao and the whisk in his hand are nothing special and not worthy of attention.
Only the gold hairpin on the head does not match the overall attire, and is a bit abrupt.
The girl led several people in, bowed to Kun Dao and said:
"Master, several guests have arrived."
"Um."
Kundao nodded, and the girl stood by respectfully.
In front of this Kun Dao, the girl seemed very nervous and did not even dare to move. She stood beside him very restrainedly, like a wooden stake.
Kun Dao flicked his fly whisk, saluted the three of them and said:
"A poor Taoist hates jade. Tian is the master of the 'Lihai Temple' and has met several lay people."
After the three people greeted him, they sat down separately.
Fairy Henyu sat in the main seat, and the girl stood stiffly beside her.
Yuan Zhixin sat in the guest seat, Ye Ming was beside him, and Yuan Zhong stood aside.
Fairy Henyu did not rush to speak to a few people, but glanced at the girl next to her and said:
"Miaotong, watch the tea."
"Oh, oh oh~~"
The girl named Miao Tong woke up from a dream and quickly made tea for several people.
It's just that his movements are obviously frizzy, and he doesn't usually serve people tea.
After finally making tea, the girl named Miaotong immediately stood back beside Henyu Fairy, trying her best to imitate wood and not moving.
"I am a scoundrel who is undisciplined and useless, and has made a few laymen laugh."
After Hate Yuxiangu said something, she said,
"The purpose of several lay people coming here is already known to me."
Yuan Zhixin heard the words, cupped his hands and said:
"So, the Guixian Sect is willing to help and get rid of evil spirits?"
Fairy Henyu looked calmly and said:
“It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao.
Miaotong, you will go down the mountain with a few of them. "
"I?"
When Miao Tong heard this, her face suddenly lit up and she almost jumped up with joy.
But when he saw Fairy Henyu sitting expressionless, he forcibly stopped his excitement and bowed to accept the order:
"Disciple accepts the order."
Although he behaved fairly well, the smile on his lips was harder to suppress than a plowshare.
Fairy Henyu glanced at her sideways, and immediately made her stand in an orderly manner, not daring to move at all.
"Guests, please rest assured that although Miaotong is a little naughty, her skills are not bad.
Pindao has calculated that Pingbo Mansion will not be peaceful in the near future, and there will be a lot of evil and strange things.
Having this girl here can help a lot. "
Everyone said that for this reason, Yuan Chixin couldn't ask for someone else to be mature and steady, so he had to thank him.
Fairy Henyu said to Miaotong again:
"Your situation is special. When you go down the mountain this time, unless absolutely necessary, you are not allowed to use magic other than Taoist magic, and you are not allowed to reveal your identity to others. Do you understand?"
Miao Tong nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know. Master, don't worry, I am a tight-lipped person and will never speak nonsense."
Fairy Henyu didn't respond to her words, she just said to Yuan Chixin:
"I am in a pure place, just for the sake of cultivation. If you have nothing else to do, you can go down the mountain."
After that, he bowed to several people, stood up and left.
Yuan Chixin didn't say anything about this outsider's behavior, and said to Miaotong:
"I'll have to worry about the next step."
Seeing that Yuan Zhi was so polite, Miao Tong returned the greeting somewhat at a loss:
"It's okay, it's okay. Just wait a moment. I'll pack up and go down the mountain."
With that said, he left a few people here and quickly left the hall.
After a while, I saw him coming back in a hurry carrying a cloth bag.
"fragrance......"
Yuan Zhong's nose moved and he looked at Miao Tong's bag full of things.
"Did Fairy Lady bring food?"
"Yes, osmanthus cake, five-spice cake, sesame cake..."
Miao Tong said quickly.
Yuan Zhong asked in confusion: "Why bring so much food?"
"Of course I'm afraid of starving! I heard that there are wars going on everywhere in the mountains, people are dying every day, everyone doesn't even have food to eat, and there are monsters and ghosts causing trouble. Life is miserable!
I will definitely have to endure hardship when I go down the mountain this time. In order to suffer less, I must prepare more food! "
Miaotong looked like "I'm very smart and I've been prepared for it".
Hearing this, Yuan Zhong felt that this person's worries were unnecessary.
Just when he was about to say that it didn't have to be like this, he saw Ye Ming step forward and sighed:
"Hey~~ It's more than that. Let me tell you, Yamashita is in a miserable state now. Not only does he have no food, he also has no clothes.
It's snowing heavily everywhere outside the mountains, and it won't work if you don't even prepare a thicker coat. "
"ah!!"
Miao Tong looked surprised and felt that she had made a miscalculation.
"You guys wait a moment, I'll prepare clothes!"
After a while, another bag of clothes came over.
I thought that everything would be fine, but Ye Ming said that the houses outside were broken and there was no fixed place to live, so tents needed to be prepared.
Upon hearing this, Miaotong immediately ran to prepare the tent.
Just as he brought his tent over, Ye Ming said he needed fishing gear...
Yuan Zhong felt a bit toothache when he saw this person's bad taste. He looked at Yuan Chixin and found that his master also looked like he was watching a show, so he didn't expose it.
Finally, Miaotong carried a package as big as a hut before setting off.
When Yuan Zhong saw this, he was filled with admiration.
There are so many things, the weight is not light, but looking at the expression on the fairy girl's face, she can easily carry it, her strength is really not bad.
"Come on, come down the mountain with me."
Miaotong led several people down the mountain carrying a large and exaggerated package.
Yuan Chixin looked at the path going down the mountain. It didn't seem to be the way he came from, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Xiangu, have you taken the wrong path? This is not the way you came."
"That's right, the way down is not the way up."
Miaotong said casually,
"Anyway, you will definitely not go wrong by following me."
When the group reached halfway up the mountain, they saw a rusty ancient sword stuck on a stone on the roadside ahead. It looked like it had been there for many years.
Yuan Chixin didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he just thought it was the arrangement here.
But when Yuan Zhong saw this rusty ancient sword, he couldn't move his eyes away.
"Xiangu, this sword..."
Hearing this, Miao Tong took a look at the ancient sword and said:
"This is a waste product that a senior in the sect failed to refine many years ago, and was thrown here carelessly."
"Scrap? How can such a sword be scrap?"
Yuan Zhong looked surprised.
"It's just a waste product. After the sword is mastered, it cannot resonate with spiritual power, cannot cooperate with the casting of spells, and has nothing but toughness. What is it if it's not a waste product?"
These words made Yuan Zhong feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't expect that the sword he thought was just a waste product made by others.
Yuan Chi took a look at Yuan Zhong and said:
"Xiangu, Yuan Zhong is a man who loves swords. Since this thing is useless to your sect, I wonder if you can sell it to me?"
"Oh, you don't have to buy it. If you want it, just go and get it yourself.
But don't blame me for not reminding you. Although it is a waste product, it may not be easy for someone without cultivation to pull it out. "
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhong stepped forward and walked to the mottled ancient sword.
The sword is half-embedded in the stone. It is indeed not easy to pull it out.
After observing carefully for a while, Yuan Zhong reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, intending to use force to pull out the ancient sword.
Unexpectedly, before exerting any force, a special feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
Then Yuan Zhong twisted the hilt of the sword gently, and the stone collapsed directly, and the ancient sword was easily held in Yuan Zhong's hand.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhong tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and wiped the sword body.
Unexpectedly, the mottled rust that seemed difficult to remove would fall off easily, and the sword's blade would glow with a cold and bright luster.
The horizontal sword is in front, and the reflection of the sword clearly reflects Yuan Zhong's eyes.
Near the hilt of the sword, there are two ancient characters named:
Protect your heart.
