Hanjiabao.
Two figures, one green and one red, stood side by side in front of a bluestone hut, with a hint of anxiety between their brows. The surrounding environment is quite secluded. A layer of not-too-thick black mist covers an area about ten feet away from the stone house. When you get closer, you can faintly hear the sound of ghost laughter, which makes people feel uneasy.
"Ten days have passed. Is it possible that you are really in seclusion at my Han family?" Han Hongrui frowned slightly and said softly.
"In my opinion, this kid may have a mental disorder." Han Xin looked at it for a while, his face became strange, and he said slowly.
"Heart barrier..." Han Hongrui heard her brother say this, and when she turned back to look at the stone house, her eyes inadvertently revealed a complex expression that was either pity or envy.
Han Xin looked at the sky and said, "Okay, all the brothers in the Shichen Gate will be here soon, let's go." After that, he turned around and left. Han Hongrui took one last look at the stone house and left with her brother.
At this time, it was cloudless at noon and the sun was bright in the sky. Five rainbow lights cut through the sky and landed in front of a dense forest, revealing five figures.
The first person was wearing a white robe with gold embroidery and a slender figure. He stood in front of the dense forest and took a look. He raised his hand and released a ray of fire. He then put his hands behind his back and stood still.
After a while, the dense forest twisted and blurred and disappeared like foam, revealing the green mountains behind it and a group of people standing in front of the mountain road.
I saw a man in green robes who was about forty years old coming out of the crowd. He laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you fellow disciples. Han has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Your Majesty, please wait." The man in white smiled slightly, cupped his hands and replied, followed by the four others who also returned the greeting.
Han Xin glanced at the five people in front of him, and then said: "Han has prepared some tea, and I would like to invite you all to go to the meeting hall to talk." After speaking, he turned slightly to one side and extended his hand to make a gesture. The disciples behind him automatically lined up on both sides and gave way. Among the mountain roads.
The man in white also beckoned, said "please", and then followed Han Xin towards the mountain. After him, a thin man dressed as a scholar gently waved his folding fan and walked up slowly; after him was a man wearing a navy blue robe. The big-headed monk swaggered away with a swaggering step; leaving behind was a burly man wearing a sleeveless short collar and full cheeks, and a girl wearing an aqua blue embroidered skirt.
The man grinned and followed up with long strides. The girl's expression was as cold as a fairy from the Moon Palace, and she walked at the end with her lotus steps.
The group arrived at the hall and sat down separately for the honored guests. After smelling the aroma and drinking tea, Han Xin looked at everyone and asked with a smile: "My lord, Han Xin, as the head of the Han family, haven't you asked me for advice yet?"
The man in white first on the left put down his tea cup and said calmly: "Su Ming."
The frail scholar opposite him folded his fan and said in a calm tone: "Xiaosheng Zhao Yimu."
The big-headed monk who was second on the left smiled and said casually: "I, Li Tianren."
The burly man second on the right said loudly: "A certain Wang Qing."
The gentle girl sitting at the end said openly: "Little sister Zhu Ling'er."
Han Xin greeted everyone one by one. After a circle, Han Xin continued to ask: "I wonder what your plans are for this trip?"
The rest of the people didn't answer. Only Su Ming said calmly: "I would also like to trouble the head of the family to inform us of the specific situation."
After hearing the words, Han Xin pondered for a moment and then told in detail the encounter between the three of his party and the monster. After listening, everyone fell into deep thought. Only Zhu Ling'er's eyes were bright.
Just when she was about to speak, she heard Li Tianren ask carelessly: "Master Han, why don't you see Junior Sister Hongrui? Could it be that you are shy and hiding?"
Han Xin had long expected this question, and replied with a slight smile: "My little sister has not recovered from her hidden illness, and is recuperating in a quiet room."
Li Tianren smiled when he heard this and said nothing. At this time, Zhu Ling'er stood up, bowed to Han Xin Yingying, and said softly: "I also want to ask the head of the family, where is Senior Brother Yuan now?"
Han Xin was startled when he heard this, and then said: "Junior Brother Yuan has been in retreat in the quiet room for ten days since he came back."
"I wonder where the quiet room is?" As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall cast a surprised look.
Han Xin paused for a moment, and then asked, "Junior sister, what's the important thing for me to ask Junior Brother Yuan?"
Zhu Ling'er chuckled: "Anyway, I won't harm him. Please let the head of the family know."
Seeing Zhu Ling'er's persistence, Han Xin said no more. He called Han Yu and ordered him to take Zhu Ling'er to Yuan Qing's residence.
After he left, everyone asked for a few more details, and Han Xin answered them one by one, turning a blind eye to Zhu Ling'er's abnormal behavior. Only Su Ming's eyes flashed with a trace of amusement.
Han Yu brought Zhu Ling'er to the stone house and bowed to leave. Zhu Ling'er looked at the faint black mist in front of her, frowned slightly, and then released her spiritual consciousness and penetrated it.
Unexpectedly, when the spiritual consciousness entered, the world suddenly started to spin, and it was difficult to distinguish things from things. Then, desires abounded in my heart, and a faint voice could be heard in my ears, like a devil's whisper.
Zhu Ling'er's eyes flashed, and then her whole body glowed with blue light. A blue lotus mark loomed between her eyebrows. Suddenly, the spiritual platform became clear and bright, and her desires disappeared without a trace in an instant like snow meeting the blazing sun.
Zhu Ling'er frowned even more tightly, and stood quietly in front of the house for a while. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw the black mist billowing up, turning into five small black flags, distributed around the stone room, and then a handsome young man in plain robes walked slowly. He walked out of the house with his head lowered and his expression a little dull.
Zhu Ling'er raised the corners of her mouth, with a spring-like smile on her face, and her eyes filled with watery tenderness, and softly called out: "Yuan Qing."
The young man raised his head, his foggy eyes became focused the moment he saw Zhu Ling'er, and his whole person seemed to suddenly take on color.
"Ling'er...Ling'er!"
The young man stepped in front of Zhu Ling'er, slowly stretched out his arms, and hugged her.
The girl's fresh, lotus-like body fragrance and the softness coming from her arms gradually made him feel real, and the boy laughed happily.
Suddenly the sword energy surged, and the young man summoned the flying sword. The sword light enveloped the two of them and went straight to Qingming, leaving only a delicate smile like a silver bell.
During these ten days, just as Han Xin said, Yuan Qing entered a mental barrier.
The strong desire to obey one's own heart in order to understand thoughts collided violently with the choice between life and death. As a result, distracting thoughts abounded in the heart, the spiritual platform was unclear, and the sword's heart was covered in dust. He even began to question himself why he practiced Taoism.
Looking back on the past, it seems that I have never taken the initiative to practice spiritual practice. I have already embarked on the path of spiritual practice before I knew what it was. Under many pressures, I have gone further and further away, and it is difficult to look back. It was as if there was a pair of big hands controlling everything. For the first time, the young man had the feeling that he couldn't help himself. It was also the first time that he had the urge to cut off everything.
Just as he was sinking deeper and deeper, Zhu Ling'er appeared, flowing like a clear spring through the young man's drying heart. In an instant, it seemed that all the worries disappeared, leaving only the pure joy of reunion.
However, this move is like raising the pot to stop boiling. If the mental barrier is not broken, I'm afraid the road will stop here.
Yuan Qing took Zhu Ling'er with his sword all the way out of Hanjiabao, and fell down on a cliff not far away.
Before he could speak, Zhu Ling'er teased: "Hey, our Yuanda Sword Immortal's sword skills are getting more and more powerful, and we can even take people flying! Seeing that you are so skilled in movements, tell me honestly, have you already kidnapped other people? A little girl who knows the world has traveled to heaven?"
Yuan Qing laughed and said: "I think that I, Yuan Da Sword Immortal, is charming and suave and has unparalleled swordsmanship. I don't know how many girls' hearts I have captured. With just one look, there are countless girls who want to fly with me. There is no need for abduction."
Zhu Ling'er's smile became brighter and brighter. She walked a few steps away and said warmly: "Sword Immortal Yuan Da is really charming. This little girl is so flattered by your love!"
Yuan Qing put his hands behind his back, raised his head, turned his nostrils to the sky, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Just know it in your heart, and don't treat me wrong in the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, a ball of water the size of a washbasin hit his face. He was instantly soaked, but then a flash of inspiration came over him and he recovered as good as new.
When she turned around, she saw Zhu Ling'er with a wicked smile on her face, and a crystal blue ice flower floating on her fingertips, exuding wisps of cold air.
"My cultivation level is not very high, but my ability to speak glibly has improved by leaps and bounds. It seems that Yuanda Sword Immortal still needs to wake up." As he spoke, he pretended to pop ice flowers on his fingertips.
"Don't, don't, don't! I'm just talking nonsense. Lord Zhu Xianzi has a lot, just spare me this time!" Yuan Qing hurriedly begged for mercy. Seeing Zhu Ling'er's movements slowing down, he suddenly took a few steps closer and said seriously: "Mountains, rivers and lakes, The sun, the moon, the stars, and all the phenomena of heaven and earth are all your features, nothing else."
Zhu Ling'er's face turned red, and the ice on her fingertips dispersed unconsciously. She could only pretend to be coquettish and said: "Slick tongue!"
Yuan Qing laughed and was about to embrace the beauty, when suddenly a ray of fire came through the sky and fell on Zhu Ling'er's hand.
After the fire light dissipated, Zhu Ling'er said: "Senior Brother Su has already discussed it and we are about to set off."
Yuan Qing frowned and asked worriedly: "The sect is not very close to here. You are flying all the way. Don't you need to adjust your breath?"
Zhu Ling'er chuckled and replied: "The monks who came this time are all monks in the middle and late stages of foundation building. This can only be recovered after adjusting the breath for a moment. Do you think they all have as thin a mana as you, Junior Brother Yuan?"
"That's it." Zhu Ling'er deliberately said the words "Junior Brother Yuan" very hard. Yuan Qing just turned a deaf ear, but somehow thought of the dead Senior Brother Feng, whose magic power seemed to be inferior to his own.
"Let's go, don't keep them waiting." After Zhu Ling'er said that, he released the lotus magic weapon and flew back slowly, but Yuan Qing saw this and followed with his sword.
In the meeting hall, everyone was ready. Han Hongrui arrived here at some unknown time. When he saw the two of them coming hand in hand, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Su Ming took a step forward and said to Zhu Ling'er calmly: "We have already discussed it. Junior Sister Han will stay here and the head of the family will go with us. Does Junior Sister Zhu have any objections?"
"Everything is decided by my senior brother." Zhu Ling'er replied with a slight smile.
Su Ming nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Han Xin and said, "Please lead the way first, I'll set off soon."
Yuan Qing glanced at Zhu Ling'er, his heart moved, and he blurted out: "I'll go too."
Everyone looked at Yuan Qing with different expressions: Han Xin looked like he had known this; Su Ming looked calm on the surface, but there was a trace of joy that was difficult to detect in his eyes; Ling'er's eyes were full of warmth; Zhao Yimu His eyes were calm and he didn't know what he was thinking; Wang Qing showed admiration; Han Hongrui looked complicated.
As for Li Tianren, he showed contempt and said: "Junior Brother Yuan, you know that you are facing a fourth-level monster on this trip. You are only in the early stage of cultivation. Although your achievements are good, you still have to take your life."
Before Yuan Qing could refute, Su Ming unexpectedly said, "I agree with Junior Brother Yuan Qing to join."
"Senior Brother Su..."
"Han also agrees that Junior Brother Yuan will join." Li Tianren was about to say something when he heard Han Xin say something.
Zhu Ling'er continued: "I agree."
Wang Qing laughed and said, "A certain family also agreed that Junior Brother Su would join the group."
Yuan Qing bowed and said, "Thank you all, senior brothers. Yuan Qing will never betray your trust."
Li Tianren snorted coldly and said: "Junior Brother Yuan, please be more careful. If you fall into the mouth of a beast, Li will not have time to save you."
Yuan Qing glanced at him and said lightly: "Thanks for the reminder."
At this time, Wang Qing laughed and said: "It's okay. If Junior Brother Yuan can't beat him, just go to me, Old Wang, and ignore this big guy."
When Li Tianren heard this, he glared at Wang Qing fiercely, but the latter didn't care and even stared back with wide eyes.
Yuan Qing felt warm in his heart after hearing this, but he also became wary. He still smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang."
"Okay, let's go." Su Ming looked around at everyone and said calmly. Then he released the magic weapon and flew out first. Everyone's body also had a flash of spiritual light, and their respective weapons followed.
Just when Yuan Qing was about to wield his sword, a cold female voice came from behind: "Junior brother Yuan, be careful along the way." Looking back, Han Hongrui's face was full of concern.
"Thank you, senior sister." Yuan Qing smiled, cupped his hands and said, then turned into a silver sword light and rose into the sky.
Zhu Ling'er looked at Han Hongrui from the side, who looked back with a calm expression.
Suddenly, Zhu Ling'er smiled brightly, then released the magic weapon and flew away through the air. Han Hongrui glanced at the sky with a confused expression, then returned to his stone room and closed his eyes to meditate.
In the depths of an unknown mountain forest, a giant wild boar with a body of three feet was breathing heavily, its two-foot-long tusks shining with cold light, and its eyes were fixed on the little raccoon cat opposite, but there was nothing but anger in its eyes. There is also deep fear.
The little beast seemed to feel a little bored. He opened his mouth and yawned, and then roared at the wild boar. His milky sound was very cute. The wild boar trembled all over after hearing this, and immediately knelt down on its front legs, placing its huge pig head on the ground to show its submission.
At this time, a three-foot green wolf walked up to the little beast and lowered its head. The little beast lightly jumped on the wolf's head, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.
The giant wolf changed direction and walked slowly with the little beast in his arms, followed by two large snakes, one green and one white, meandering around.
The wild boar glanced back, grunted twice, followed at the end, and slowly disappeared into the forest.
