Xiao He and Bingqi left Miyue City one after another. After going down the mountain, Xiao He refused Bingqi to send a big boat to send him away. Instead, he walked with his sword by himself. When they arrived at the Juliu River, Xiao He did not control his sword either. Instead, he stepped onto the river like a leisurely stroll, while concentrating the power of the extreme cold on the soles of his feet. Looking at the river surface again, under the control of Xiao He's magic power, it condensed into the shape of waves and lifted Xiao He up in the air. As Xiao He thought, the wave-shaped ice carried Xiao He forward and soon reached the other side of the river. , Such a way of crossing the river is really cool.
Xiao He walked across the ice and reached the side of Liuguang Blessed Land. Without any further delay, he rose up with his sword again and headed straight for Liuyun Sect.
The lowest peak in the Liuyun Mountain Range is called Yunjiao Peak. Although it is at the outermost edge of the mountain range, it is still more than 4,000 meters high. The top of Yunjiao Peak is the Naxian Hall, where the Liuyun Sect has organized disciple recruitment ceremonies over the years. This year, it is The person in charge of the work of recruiting disciples was Luo Xin, who met Xiao He at the Shaolin Temple that day.
Luo Xin sat upright in Naxian Hall, waiting for the disciples who came to climb the mountain this year to become their disciples.
Not long after, two disciples recruited by Luo Xin in the early years walked into the Naxian Hall, each holding a child of seven or eight years old.
Seeing this scene, Luo Xin frowned slightly. When the two disciples saw this, they put the two children on the ground and stood up, and then he knelt down on the ground. One of them took the initiative and said: "Master, the Liuguang Blessed Land is declining day by day. The number of disciples who come to be a disciple is decreasing year by year. This year, no one is coming. The disciples have been observing the peak for many days with their celestial eyes. There are only these two in the forest. A doll that has been spinning around at the foot of the mountain."
"How can these two children, who are so young, cross the barrier of Yunjiao Peak?" Luo Xin said calmly, but with an air of calmness and dignity.
The disciple buried his head deeper and continued: "I saw that these two children had been searching for several hours but could not find a way to get started. I couldn't bear it, so I had to use a hint of golden light to lead them past the barrier halfway up the mountain, and then He took his junior sister to pick them up without authorization."
"Our sect will not recruit such young disciples. Let them go down the mountain before the barrier is closed!" Luo Xin said again.
The female disciple looked at the two dolls, and her eyes showed a burst of distress. She quickly knelt down and said, "Master, such a young child will probably get lost if he goes down the mountain by himself."
Luo Xin didn't say anything anymore, but her aura was full of refusal.
The second disciple had no choice but to tug at the corner of his senior sister's clothes and keep shaking his head to signal her not to disobey his master's orders.
The two looked at each other, then looked at the serious-faced master, and had no choice but to silently carry the two children and walk out. But he didn't expect the older girl of the two children to dare to speak in such a situation: "We are not leaving, we are going to stay and learn how to kill monsters."
Hearing the girl's voice, Luo Xin actually opened her eyes and glanced at the girl again. The childish face of the girl in front of her showed a firm gaze. She held her arms tightly with her two little hands and looked up firmly at the moment. Looking at Luo Xin, beside her, the boy who was slightly younger than her was hiding behind her.
Luo Xin was not a cold-hearted person to begin with. Just this glance made Luo Xin a little shaken. Looking into the girl's eyes, Luo Xin somehow remembered herself when she first entered the sect. She walked down from her seat and walked away. Go to the girl, squat down and look at her, and ask: "Where are you from?"
"My brother and I are both from Guanghui Village," the girl said.
"Glory Village?" Luo Xin repeated.
The girl nodded and said, "Yeah! It's a thousand miles away from here."
Luo Xin was shocked, a thousand miles away! To a cultivator who travels thousands of miles a day, it is nothing, but to these two mortal children, what does a thousand miles mean? Luo Xin lowered her head, looked at the girl's two little hands covering her arms, and asked, "What is here?"
The girl didn't speak. She lowered her head and took out a folding fan from her arms and handed it to Luo Xin.
Luo Xin took the fan and looked at it, and was even more shocked. Wasn't this folding fan the one she "lost" in Xiao He's hand?
"Who gave this fan to you?" Luo Xin asked.
"It was given to us by the immortal brother. He said that if you take this fan and become a disciple, you can learn the ability to kill monsters." The girl explained.
"Brother Immortal? Kill monsters?" Luo Xin muttered to herself again, and then she suddenly remembered that she had given this fan to Gui Yanfeng that day at the foot of the ancient Shaolin Temple. Disciple Xiao He "forgot to retrieve it"? Could it be that Xiao He is the fairy brother the children call him? If this is the case, Xiao He introduces it, and the child has a folding fan as a token, then he has no reason not to accept it.
Luo Xin stood up, faced her disciple and said seriously: "Xiaoruo, from now on, these two children will be your disciples. You can take the two children to the Manlu Spring for marrow cleansing first. I will do it tomorrow." I will personally hold an apprenticeship ceremony for you. From now on, since you have accepted them as disciples, you must do your best. I have already investigated and found that these two children have good talents. You must help them practice within five years. The realm of self-preview!”
"Yes, Master!" Xiaoruo said respectfully. In fact, it was not easy to answer the question within five years, but the master was so majestic and did not allow her to refute. It was rare for the master to agree to these two children, so she quickly Together with his junior sister, he held the two children and exited the door.
Luo Xin was the only one left in the Naxian Hall of Nuo University. She was still standing there, playing with the folding fan that had been with her for a long time.
The cloud sea at Yunjiao Peak is full of colorful colors, and a large area of clouds and mist rises upward. This is a sign that the barrier is about to close. Liuyun Sect opens the mountain gate every ten years to recruit disciples. For the past three years, Roland has presided over it with his master. For three consecutive years, no one came to the mountain to become a disciple, and this time, there were only two children. Roland sighed helplessly.
At this time, the second disciple Xiaoya, who had just exited with Xiaoruo, walked into the Naxian Hall again and said respectfully: "Master, there is someone coming to the mountain gate to see you!"
"Who?" Luo Xin asked casually.
Xiaoya replied respectfully again: "The person who came here looks like a scholar, so he is Xiao He."
Hearing this voice, Luo Xin felt happy and said, "Please come up quickly, I'll wait for him in the living room!"
The person who came to Liuyun Sect was none other than Xiao He. He had already changed away from the heavy attire of Nihan Dongtian, and put on the clothes of a young master of Wensheng just like when he was in Liuguang Blessed Land. He had fair skin, elegant temperament, and clear talent. Jun, walked neither slowly nor hurriedly, as if he was lingering on the scenery, and along the way, the female disciples of Liuyun Sect could not help but look at him quietly. Discovering this, Xiaoya couldn't help but snicker, and led Xiao He to speed up the pace.
Since it is the outermost peak of the Liuyun Mountain Range, there is also a reception hall at the top of Yunjiao Peak to facilitate reception of fellow Taoists from all walks of life. Xiaoya took Xiao He all the way to the door without entering. She just turned around and said softly to Xiao He: "Master is waiting inside, young master, please come in!"
After saying that, Xiaoya left.
So, Xiao He had no choice but to step forward, raise his right hand and knock lightly on the door. After two sounds, he gently pushed the door open and entered.
After entering the door, he saw Luo Xin making tea. Xiao He smiled and said, "Why, do you also need to make tea yourself to entertain the guests?"
"Then we have to see what kind of guests they are!" Luo Xin said with a smile.
After Xiao He took his seat, Luo Xin continued: "The way you return things is really special!"
"Huh? What else?" Xiao He asked casually.
Luo Xin didn't stop making tea. She just raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the folding fan beside the table. Only then did Xiao He remember it and couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "It turns out to be this folding fan. Why? Two The child has arrived?"
Luo Xin made the tea, walked across the desk to face Xiao He, and said, "We're here, just in front of you."
"They have been gone for so many days? The willpower of these two children puts me to shame." Xiao He said to himself.
"They are indeed two good cultivators. It's hard to believe that for your good intentions, you actually care about two children in an unknown village!" Luo Xin said.
Xiao He explained: "It can be regarded as a coincidence. The village where the two children live is not far from the Shaolin Temple. I once had a relationship with the grandfather of these two children. Later, when the beast tide happened, I was not able to do it in time. When I arrived, the grandfather of the two children died tragically under the siege of the monsters. It was only when I returned to my hometown that I found out that the old man had left these two children behind, so..."
"So that's it." Luo Xin said, "According to what you said, the grandfather of those two children is also a cultivator? No wonder these two children are quite talented in cultivating immortals."
"Yes, that old man is indeed a cultivator, but he didn't leave any real name, let alone his sect." Xiao He said.
"This secret may have to be answered by the two of them themselves," Luo Xin said.
Xiao He took a sip of the tea poured by Luo Xin and continued, "Why did you invite me here?"
When Luo Xin heard this, she asked seriously: "I want to ask you, after Guiyan Peak was killed, were there any important magic weapons that were lost?"
Xiao He also thought carefully about it, and found that the most valuable magic weapons in Guiyan Peak were the Tai Chi Mirror and the Green Wood Cauldron. The Tai Chi Mirror was on his body, and when he returned to the clan that day, he did find that his master's Green Wood Cauldron was missing. , so Xiao He did not shy away and answered: "It is true that an important magic weapon is missing. It is the alchemy furnace of my master, Taoist Priest Tianyanzi."
Luo Xin nodded and said: "This is exactly what I thought. Master has been missing since. Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, I am afraid that something unexpected happened to Master, and the reasons are probably because of a magic weapon. "
"What magic weapon?" Xiao He asked tentatively.
"Ancient Yin Qin!" Luo Xin said, "This Qin is the most precious treasure of our sect. I have heard about the incident of Master Ji in the ancient temple of Shaolin during the beast tide, plus the magic weapon lost after your sect was wiped out, and the speculation about my master. , it can almost be concluded that there is a mysterious sect that is hunting down the masters of various sects and snatching magic weapons, but I can't find out the rules of their search for targets at the moment."
Xiao He nodded. In fact, he had already had this idea in his mind. However, all this time, he was just thinking about who brought disaster to his sect. It is almost certain that he is the defected disciple of Baidi Village in Southern Xinjiang. . He had never thought before that the other party's target might not only be Gui Yanfeng.
Seeing the doubts in Xiao He's expression, Luo Xin asked again: "Why, what did you think of?"
Xiao He said: "Actually, I have traced the sect's enemies and have some clues. If there are no accidents, it should be the defected disciples of Baidi Village in Southern Xinjiang."
"Baidizhuang!" Luo Xin almost exclaimed.
"What?" What's so special about Baidi Village?
"There is a kind of untransmitted evil magic in Baidi Village that can control zombies. As far as I know, among the seventy-two blessed places, only the spells cast by my Liuyun Sect with musical instruments have an excellent inhibitory effect on this evil magic. ." Luo Xin explained.
"So, the person who caused my respected master to disappear and my family to be exterminated in Guiyan Peak may be the same person?" Xiao He asked again.
"Nine times out of ten!" Luo Xin said with certainty.
