Xiao He woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was leaning on a wooden table. A few feet away, a pot of wine was still warm, and he could feel the heat in front of him. Sitting up straight, the old man with gray hair and childlike face across the table still looked at him with a smile, just like when he first fell asleep.
Seeing Xiao He wake up, the old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "How about this wine? I boiled the wine in a copper pot and dreamed of Hua Xuyou!"
After hearing what the old man said, Xiao He was shocked and asked: "Senior, can you actually know my dream?"
The old man did not deny it and continued with a smile on his face: "In just one dream, I saw a majestic figure, sweeping the world, all kinds of life, wealth, honor and disgrace, great power, parting from life and death, half a century has passed in a moment, I have experienced all kinds of life, bitterness Spicy, sour and sweet, what can you understand from it?"
Xiao He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then answered seriously: "Life is like an empty dream. I am crazy in the past and crazy now. I have gained and lost. I am neither sad nor happy. I am neither angry nor angry. I am neither resentful nor resentful. Only by being at peace can I keep my heart." Qingming.”
After hearing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your path to spiritual cultivation begins today!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the wooden door suddenly opened. Xiao He stood up, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, bowed respectfully to the old man, and stepped back out of the wooden house.
Dugu Huntian and Leng Xing both came out one step ahead of Xiao He. When Xiao He retreated to the courtyard, Dugu Huntian and Leng Xing were already waiting outside. The two stood not far or close to each other, not talking to each other. Seeing Xiao He coming out, Dugu Huntian stepped forward to greet him.
When Dugu Huntian walked across from Xiao He, the wooden doors of the three wooden houses behind him opened together. Dugu Huntian, Xiao He and Leng Xing looked over subconsciously. The next scene surprised the three of them. I saw an old man walking out of each of the three wooden houses. The clothes, appearance, and every move of the three old men were exactly the same. The three of them were actually the same person! The three old men turned around together and walked towards the air, walking in the air, walking leisurely, as if they were walking on flat ground. And the three figures from behind got closer and closer, and finally merged into one. The old man's figure finally disappeared from Xiao He's sight. There, there was only one sentence left, which floated into Xiao He's ears along the air: "If Xiao He is interested, please come to Tianyuan Tower to get together after choosing Shenzong!"
The three wooden houses were still there, but the old man was gone. Xiao He's heart could not calm down for a long time. Looking at Xiao He's appearance, Dugu Huntian smiled and patted Xiao He on the shoulder, asking him to calm down.
"What happened to my brother?" Xiao He looked at Dugu Huntian and asked.
Dugu Huntian replied: "At this time, the three of us have passed the test of Tianyuan Academy and can be recruited by the Shenzong. Leng Xingxing has made up for his shortcomings in controlling Warcraft and has chosen to join the Shanhai Shenzong."
When Dugu Huntian said this, he paused for a moment. Xiao He subconsciously looked in the direction of Leng Xing. Leng Xing and Xiao He looked at each other, turned around and left. Dugu Huntian continued: "I chose to join the Cantian Sword Sect."
This made Xiao He very puzzled. With Dugu Huntian's cultivation, Xiao He originally thought that he would join the Zhenwu Divine Sect, but he never thought that he would make such a choice. So, Xiao He asked: "Brother, with your level With courage, you should join the Zhenwu Divine Sect no matter what! Why did you choose the Cantian Sword Sect? Is it just to pursue the highest realm of sword cultivation? In the Zhenwu Divine Sect, you can also practice sword cultivation!"
Dugu Huntian shook his head and smiled, and said: "It's not just because of this reason, but don't worry, I will tell you the real reason soon!"
"Okay!" Xiao He also said with a smile. For some reason, he always trusted the brother in front of him who was many years older than him.
Dugu Huntian also looked at Xiao He with a smile. There has always been a feeling between these two men that they regret meeting each other too late. This is what the saying goes, a hero cherishes a hero.
"That's right!" Xiao He hesitated for a few seconds before asking: "Brother, I want to ask you something, what did you dream about in your dream just now?"
Dugu Huntian smiled and said, "I'll tell you later."
"How long will it take in the future?" Xiao He said jokingly.
Dugu Huntian replied: "The days are long, I believe we will meet again soon. Brother, do you know the land of Bachuan?"
Xiao He was not sure why he was asked, but he still replied: "I know, this place is located in the south of Southern Xinjiang, and it is said to be a land near the sea."
Dugu Huntian nodded and said: "Yes! This is the place. Please wait for my invitation, brother. When it's time for our brothers to meet, I will send a greeting card and invite my brother to come to Bachuan to get together!"
"Brother is going to Bachuan? Isn't it the Cantian Sword Sect?" Xiao He asked.
"I want to go, but not now. I am leaving to join the Cantian Sword Sect." When Dugu Huntian said this, Xiao He's expression changed. Dugu Huntian saw it at a glance, so he continued: "Also Xue will temporarily return to Taihua Cave, and when we meet in the land of Bachuan one day, Yixue will also accompany us!"
Hearing what Dugu Huntian said, Xiao He felt relaxed and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll say goodbye to my brother here!"
Dugu Huntian continued: "Brother, after joining the Zhenwu Divine Sect, don't forget the old man's invitation. The Tianyuan Tower in Tianyuan Academy is an extraordinary place. Brother, your cultivation path will definitely be much longer than that of my brother. !”
"Brother, don't worry, I will remember it!" Xiao He said with certainty.
Dugu Huntian nodded again, clasped his fists and said, "That's it, see you later!"
"See you later!" Xiao He also clasped his fists in return and watched Dugu Huntian turn and leave. When Dugu Huntian walked away, he still did not forget to shout: "I will be waiting for my brother at the seaside of Shengyang Zhaohe!"
Looking at the direction in which Dugu Huntian left, Xiao He felt more and more mysterious about his brother's identity, and sometimes even had an illusion. He even felt that the Dugu brothers and sisters did not look like people from this continent, but he did not know that they would come from Where.
Xiao He was still standing there, with no one around him. Everyone had left. Of the original hundred disciples, only three could pass the final test. In Xiao He's heart, after passing the test at this moment, he still felt that Tianyuan Academy was an illusory existence. There were too many unknown mysteries in this world. As his realm improved, Xiao He actually felt that he understood the world less and less. Heaven and Earth It's so big that sometimes it makes people feel so unreal.
Xiao He stepped up to leave, but felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. He looked down and saw that it was the child standing on the wooden door at the beginning. The boy looked up at Xiao He and reminded him again: "Brother, don't forget to come to Tianyuan Get together at the academy!"
Looking at the boy's clumsy and cute look, Xiao He smiled and nodded.
Seeing Xiao He's answer, the boy was satisfied, turned over on the white crane, and walked away towards the sun again.
This made Xiao He sigh with emotion again, and now he is going to Zhenwu Shenzong.
Zhenwu Shen Sect is the sect closest to Tianyuan Academy. It is built based on the power of heaven and earth. It has abundant spiritual energy. Almost all the sects in the world have a consensus, that is, after joining Zhenwu Shen Sect, they will start to strive for the pinnacle of cultivation. On the way. Today's Xiao He's knowledge and vision have long been different from what they used to be, but he is still shocked by the majestic momentum of the Zhenwu Shen Sect. When Xiao He arrived here, there was a disciple who was welcoming him. He was about the same age as him, wearing only an ordinary gray robe, and his temperament and conversation Extremely simple, he was responsible for leading Xiao He to complete the entrance ceremony of the Zhenwu Shen Sect.
Climbing up the stone steps in the mountain, there was a stone house on the roadside halfway up the mountain. The disciples were led to lead Xiao He and push the door in. There were no extra facilities in the stone house, only a stone wall, and there were nine horizontal and vertical roads. There are eighty-one positions, and in the first two rows or more, there are already names shining faintly but cannot be ignored.
The leading disciple explained: "Unlike the ordinary disciples within the Shen Sect, all practitioners who pass the assessment of Tianyuan Academy and join the Zhenwu Shen Sect will directly obtain the position of elder of the Zhenwu Shen Sect. These eighty-one positions represent the Zhenwu Shen Sect's elders. Eighty-one peaks, you can write your name here with the power of your spiritual consciousness, and from now on, you will have a dojo of your own."
After hearing this, Xiao He nodded slightly, gathered his energy and concentration, and a green light shot out from Xiao He's forehead, and the word "Xiao He" was carved in a masculine font on the stone wall. From then on, there was another name on the stone wall of the Zhenwu Shen Sect.
"Elder Xiao He, please follow me." The lead disciple said, leading Xiao He to continue to go higher along the stone steps.
On the way, Xiao He couldn't help but ask: "Is there an initiation ceremony today? Will the other two elders show up?"
Hearing Xiao He's question, he led the disciples but shook his head and replied: "Only one elder will appear to take care of simple matters, and the other elders will not appear here. As the pinnacle sect in the mainland, within the Zhenwu Shen Sect, apart from cultivation, There will not be any trivial matters, so if nothing unexpected happens, every elder will practice hard in his own dojo and will never go down the mountain unless necessary. This is also the reason why many trivial matters are taken care of by the Mountain and Sea Divine Sect."
Xiao He nodded and said: "I see, you are truly worthy of being a Zhenwu Shen Sect! Can the elder go down the mountain privately?"
The lead disciple continued to explain: "When you reach the height of Zhenwu Shen Sect, your practice is no longer disobedient to things. Everything you say and do comes from your heart. Even if there are elders traveling around the world, no one will care about you, unless there are elders who do something contrary to the way of heaven. If there are evil deeds, then other elders will join forces to clean up the house."
Xiao He looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was filled with admiration and shock.
Moving forward, there was a spacious open space. From a distance, Xiao He could already see an old man with long hair standing like a withered pine in front of the stone table in the center of the open space.
Xiao He, led by the disciple Yin Yin, also walked to the stone table and introduced Xiao He: "This is Elder Yun Yin."
Xiao He cupped his fists and bowed his hands, saluting him.
Taoist Master Yun Yin did not return the gift, but said directly: "I will attach my palm to the stone table and inject your spiritual power into it."
Xiao He lowered his head and saw clearly the complex runes engraved on the stone table. He stretched out his right hand and gently placed his palm on the stone table, injecting a surging natural Taoism into it. The stone table immediately appeared with green light.
Elder Yun Yin lowered his head and looked down, just thinking for a moment. He turned his right hand and a dark yellow wooden box jumped out of his palm. He handed the wooden box to the disciple who received Yin and said: "Aoki Peak." After saying that, his body turned into a ball. The shadow disappeared out of thin air. The level of cultivation is so high that it is astonishing.
He led the disciples to open the wooden box. Inside was a Taoist robe and a jade tablet. He respectfully handed the two things into Xiao He's hands and said, "This robe and jade plaque are the status symbols of the elders of the Zhenwu Shen Sect. Please take them with you."
Xiao He also took it carefully and asked: "What did Elder Yun Yin just say about Qingmu Peak mean?"
"The eighty-one dojos of Zhenwu Shen Sect have different spiritual power characteristics. Qingmu Peak is the name of your dojo, which was chosen based on your spiritual power characteristics. I will take you there right now. I will explain other matters to you on the way. !" The lead disciple replied.
"Thank you!" Xiao He said with a smile.
