North Liangshan.
"Miss Ling'er, can you show up and meet me?"
A warm and mellow voice came, and a man was seen, wearing a royal blue robe and a white jade hair crown. He had a handsome face and a tall posture, standing at the door of the small courtyard with his hands behind his hands.
After a while, a woman in red clothes came out, bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Junior sister Ling'er is still in retreat, senior Jin should please come back."
The man smiled slightly, not caring, and said, "In that case, I'll come back in a few days." Then he waved his cloud sleeves lightly, transformed into a blue escaping light, and flew away through the sky.
When the woman saw that the light was fading away, she turned around and returned to the house. She closed her eyes and sat upright, trying to fall into silence. However, the figure of a thin young man kept appearing in her mind. He was dressed in white and beat the snow, holding a sword to ward off the monsters.
Opposite in an elegant wooden house, purple light shines brightly. A girl in aqua blue dress is deep in concentration, with a purple lotus looming between her eyebrows. Her expression is cold, her temperament is orchid, and she is not in the world.
With a faint sigh, the purple light disappeared, and the girl opened her eyes, like ripples in autumn water, with a hint of sadness. Suddenly, his expression trembled, and then a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he rushed out of the door, released the magic weapon, and turned into a lilac brilliance and flew away into the sky.
The woman in red felt the spiritual energy fluctuating, and hurriedly went out to investigate. She saw the girl walking in a hurry, heading straight to the entrance of the residence. She was confused, but after thinking about it, it became clear in an instant. Shaking his hands, he sent out a transmission note, took up Ling Yu, and followed closely.
The distance of several miles was approaching in an instant. When the two arrived, they saw only three young men, about the same age, standing facing each other. Two people are wearing gray clothes, standing on the left side; one person is wearing white clothes, standing on the right side; they are smiling and saying goodbye.
Sensing the visitor, the young man in white turned around and smiled slightly: "Ling'er."
…
That day, after Yuan Qing sacrificed the Baili Instant Talisman and escaped, he was careful and stopped all the way, and after more than ten days, he finally arrived at Beiliang Mountain.
Looking at the desolation, just as he was wondering, the void rippled, and two gray-robed teenagers stepped out of the formation. As soon as they met, the sound of the sword suddenly started, clear and distant, rising layer by layer, and stopped after five turns. Then the sword intention burst out, pure and transparent, condensed and sharp.
Yuan Qing was startled, and immediately used his skills secretly. His whole body shimmered with silver light, and he suppressed the sword intention back into his body. Then he clasped his fists and was about to bow to apologize, but saw the two people opposite him looking at him up and down with surprise on their faces.
"I wonder what my junior brother's surname is, and which sect he is a disciple of?" The man on the left asked with his eyes shining brightly.
Yuan Qing didn't know why, but he replied truthfully: "I am Yuan Qing, a disciple of Xuanyuan. I wonder who these two senior brothers are?"
"Shangqing, Guo Sheng."
"Qiu Long."
As soon as he said these words, Yuan Qing stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed with brilliance, silver light flowed all over his body, and his pure sword intent shot straight into the sky, with clear sounds coming in succession.
The two people opposite laughed loudly, and with a thought, two shocking sword intentions spread across the sky. One was as solid and thick as a mountain; the other was as misty and unpredictable as the wind and clouds.
Comparing the three, Yuan Qing is like a sword and a young bamboo, swaying in the violent storm, but extremely resilient and not retreating.
Within a moment, Yuan Qing could no longer see his body clearly. His entire body was shrouded in brilliant silver light, and his skills had already reached their peak.
When the two saw this, the admiration in their eyes grew stronger. They smiled slightly and retracted their swords at the same time.
The silver light dissipated, and the young man sat down on the ground, as if he had been in a great battle. He was exhausted and breathing heavily, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, even among my lifetime disciples of Shangqing Foundation, he is one of the best!" The young man named Guo Sheng said happily.
Qiu Long on the side also smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, in terms of the purity of the sword's will, only a few people such as Junior Brother Qin can match it. Moreover, this Junior Brother is only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so he has a promising future. "
Yuan Qing stood up after listening to the two men talking, bowed and said, "Thank you, seniors, for showing mercy."
Qiu Long waved his hand and said slightly impatiently: "What do you call me senior? I call you senior brother!"
Seeing the astonishment on his face, Guo Sheng explained warmly from the side: "Sword cultivators are rare and orthodox inheritors are all from the same family. What's more, junior brother's sword intention is so pure. If there is no sect, I would take you to see the master. , immediately enter the door."
When Yuan Qing heard this, he immediately felt good, smiled casually, and then gave a solemn salute: "Yuan Qing has met Senior Brother Guo and Senior Brother Qiu!"
The two of them also returned the greeting solemnly: "Junior Brother Yuan."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Yuan Qing suddenly felt an indescribable strong emotion in his heart. Before, I had always felt that swordsmanship was lonely and it was hard to find close friends. Now, the resonance of my swordsmanship is at the front, and the recognition of fellow practitioners is at the back. I just want to shout that I am not alone in my path!
Seeing Yuan Qing standing silent for a long time, Guo Sheng said teasingly: "Junior brother, don't just stand there stupidly. Take out your identity token and follow me into the battle."
Yuan Qing smiled in surprise, took out the token, and walked forward with the two of them.
Before he had taken two steps, he heard Qiu Long Youyou say: "Junior brother, you don't need a token, you can experience this famous Water and Moon Illusion, so you can hone your sword spirit."
Before Yuan Qing could do anything, Guo Sheng first laughed and scolded: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. This Water Moon Formation was set up by Guan Tianzhen of the Jingtian Sect himself. It cannot be broken unless you are at the Yuanying stage. Monks below the Yuanying stage are trapped in the formation." Within three days, your soul will explode and you will die."
Qiu Long chuckled: "I was just joking. Besides, even if junior brother wants to do it, I can still watch it happen."
Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment, then secretly shook his head, smiling in his heart: This senior Qiu is really like a naughty boy.
As if he saw what he was thinking, Qiu Long came over and whispered: "Junior brother, I don't know something. This water moon illusion encompasses all things in the world. It is of great benefit to us monks to practice their Taoist mind and polish their swordsmanship, that is... "
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Guo Sheng: "Okay, let's enter the battle."
Qiu Long immediately stopped speaking and took out a small white jade sword with a solemn expression.
In a flash of darkness and light, the three of them passed through the magic circle. The young man's eyes widened and he saw Beiliang's true face.
While he was sighing, he heard Guo Sheng say: "Under the Yunzhou is Xuanyuan's station. I, Shangqing, am located at the highest point here, temporarily named Luo Jianfeng. Junior brother, please come and talk about it when you have time. The two of us still have official duties to attend to. , it’s inconvenient to send him far away, so let’s just say goodbye.”
When Yuan Qing heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said, "How dare you trouble two senior brothers? When Yuan Qing comes to Japan, he will visit us with fine wine. I hope that senior brothers will not find the wine too strong!"
Qiu Long laughed after hearing this: "I didn't expect that my junior brother would be such a good drinker. I will have to prepare more when the time comes. If nothing else, I will be the second best in drinking. How dare I be the first!"
"Hahaha, it's a deal! Brothers, bid farewell!"
"Farewell!"
At this time, Guo Sheng said softly: "Someone is coming."
Qiu Long turned his head and looked around, tutting: "It seems that junior brother not only has strong wine, but also has beautiful women to accompany him, and there is more than one!"
Yuan Qing turned around, and the world suddenly collapsed. Everything around him seemed to have disappeared. There was only the girl in front of him, as gentle as water, and nothing else.
…
Zhu Ling'er landed next to Yuan Qing and coughed slightly. Only then did the latter react, cupping her hands to Han Hongrui who was following closely and saying, "Senior Sister Han, long time no see. How is everything?"
Han Hongrui's expression was complicated and he hesitated to speak. Finally, Yingying bowed and replied: "Thank you for your concern, junior brother. Everything is fine. I feel relieved to see you are safe."
On the other side, Zhu Ling'er bowed to Guo and Qiu and said, "I have met these two seniors."
Han Hongrui followed suit.
The two of them just nodded slightly, then cupped their hands towards Yuan Qing, then transformed into sword light and flew away through the air. Their speed was so fast that they disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Yuan Qing just looking at him with a silly smile, Zhu Ling'er's face was slightly red, but she also showed a bright smile and looked back quietly.
Han Hongrui's expression dimmed when he saw this, but in a blink of an eye he looked calm and said calmly: "Let's go, Senior Brother Wang and the others are still waiting."
After saying that, he released the magic weapon and left first. The remaining two smiled and followed together.
In a small courtyard for five people.
"Hahaha, brother Yuan, I knew you were fine!" Wang Qing was ecstatic to see Yuan Qing, hugged him and said loudly.
Liu and Li also relaxed their eyebrows and smiled around them.
Han Dongxing had one arm free and stood aside with Han Hongrui, a little far away.
Yuan Qing let Wang Qing hug him with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Wang Qing and the other three looked at each other, took a step back at the same time, bowed their arms to the bottom, and said seriously: "Junior brother Gao Yi, lead the beasts away, we will be impressed!"
Yuan Qing hurriedly helped the three of them up. Before he could speak, Wang Qing said apologetically: "Brother Yuan, it's not that I, Old Wang, didn't save you, it's really..."
"Brother Wang, there is no need to say anything, and there is no need for you to express your thanks. That little beast came for me. In this case, it is Yuan who has brought everyone down."
Wang Qing raised his eyes and was about to refute.
Yuan Qing smiled slightly, signaled him to calm down, and then said: "However, it is true that I lured away the monsters, and Ling'er is with me. If you want to thank her, just thank her. As for Brother Wang, if you feel guilty, you might as well If you send me ten jars of red flame wine, I won’t care about it."
Wang Qing suddenly relaxed and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you are waiting for me here! Okay, don't talk about ten altars and eight altars. If you run out of wine in the future, just come to me, Old Wang, to take care of you!"
Yuan Qing laughed and said with a sly look: "Brother Wang, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. It just so happens that the wine in my gourd is almost finished, why not..."
Li Yang smiled and agreed: "That's right, having fun alone is not as good as having fun together. Brother Wang, don't hide it. Quan should take over for Junior Brother Yuan."
Liu Han chuckled and said: "Yes! As the saying goes, how can you drink without meat? Brother Wang, I remember that you still have a lot of monster flesh and blood in your storage bag, take it out too."
Wang Qing couldn't help laughing and scolding as he listened: "Okay, everyone who is usually sanctimonious is secretly thinking about the things in my old Wang's pocket. Okay, today I, Old Wang, will be the host and support Brother Yuan. ! You two are making excuses and pouring wine, while Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Sister Ling'er are just waiting to drink and eat meat!"
Zhu Ling'er stood beside Yuan Qing, watching everyone playing like children, and couldn't help but chuckle. He glanced at the Han brothers and sisters who were standing aside, and said softly: "Senior Brother Wang, where are Senior Sister and Senior Brother Han?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked back.
Han Hongrui nodded gratefully to Zhu Ling'er, and then looked at Han Dongxing. The latter immediately understood and took a deep breath. The two of them took a few steps forward and bowed down.
"Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Sister Zhu will bear in mind the life-saving grace given by Han. In the future, he will hold the ring knot grass to repay his kindness!"
Zhu Ling'er and Yuan Qing looked serious and bowed in return. The latter said calmly: "Senior Brother Han's words are serious. In times of crisis, as someone from the same sect, you should help him."
Han Dongxing wanted to speak, but he saw Wang Qing taking out several jars of red flame wine and pretending to be impatient: "Junior brother Yuan, brother Han, don't talk too much, come on, come on, drink!"
The two looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words, then poured wine and went to the table. For a while, they exchanged glasses and laughed.
It is the scenery and the moon that bring joy to the world.
