Somewhere on the top of Yuli Peak, in a green bamboo forest.
Legend has it that the founder of the Purple Jade Sect was transformed into a spiritual bamboo and cultivated to the Nascent Soul. In the State of Yu, he founded a sect and taught the Dharma, teaching without distinction.
Therefore, many members of the Purple Jade Sect love bamboos, and Yuli Peak is the most popular among them. They plant spiritual bamboos everywhere.
This place is no exception, just like a natural garden, with tall green bamboos stretching everywhere. The sound of gurgling water came from the distance, but it was a waterfall more than ten meters high. Thick water spray was flying down and falling into the crystal clear pool below.
In addition to being commendable for being peaceful and peaceful, it is also somewhat unremarkable, just like an ordinary scene in the mortal mountains.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the heavy rain falling from high in the sky disappeared out of thin air at a height of dozens of feet, forming a curved black rain curtain.
But the garden was still bright and quiet, there was no sound of rain, but there seemed to be a lot more streams in the forest.
The eldest sister has a graceful appearance and regular facial features. She wears a violet-colored hibiscus-colored floor-length skirt with a waist and sleeves. Her hair falls down on her temples, and her forehead bangs are neatly trimmed. She has a somewhat cold temperament.
At this time, her fat cheeks were slightly sideways and her nose was straight, as if she was listening to something.
The bamboo leaves beside me swayed and rustled softly, as if telling a story.
After a few breaths, the elder sister made a secret with her fingers, and her jade fingers drew an elliptical arc in the air. The water flowed out along the arc out of thin air, like a water cloth hanging down.
In mid-air, a water mirror soon hung up.
The water surface in the mirror fluctuated, revealing two figures, who seemed to be talking and confronting each other, and then another person walked out of the bamboo.
It was exactly the scene where Su Xing was stopped when he entered the mountain.
She seemed to quickly understand the cause and effect, and nodded thoughtfully. Of course, her first reaction was that Su Xing was lying.
After all, even I... haven't seen my master for a long time. How can I possibly see the other party, who is just a spirit planter?
But then I thought about it, no one dared to fake the order of the real person, and the other party would definitely understand the consequences.
Shaking his head, it still felt unrealistic. However, there was still some interest in my heart.
As a result, the jade fingers gently pinched each other, and the lines of the whole person gradually faded and became transparent, turning into a pool of clear water and blending into the cold jade futon sitting cross-legged under the body.
Finally, the whole person disappeared completely, and only a little water stain remained on the futon.
On the other side, Su Xing was walking slowly on the road up the mountain. He was soaked to the skin, but his face looked better. With his handsome face, he looked like a down-and-out nobleman.
A foot above the head, the rain fell, but it seemed to hit the transparent curved glass and spattered.
This is a "rain-avoiding technique" performed by Yan Changyi.
"Thank you, senior brother, for taking care of me." Su Xing thanked him sincerely.
Ma Ziyu still had to guard the mountain gate and didn't come over.
There was only a straight-fronted robe in front of him, walking leisurely and with a certain air of his own. Hearing this, he just nodded with his back to himself. For Yan Changyi, since he was on duty at Yuli this month, what he did today was just fulfilling his responsibilities.
Su Xing was grateful in his heart. Although the other party was just doing things fairly, he saved his life anyway and even used a rain-proof spell for himself.
But because of his humble position, he showed little kindness, and he just kept it in his heart.
Suddenly, Yan Changyi in front paused for a moment, then gently leaned over and held his hand.
Su Xingzheng was confused when the rainwater falling in front of him suddenly closed and gathered, blurring the outline of a human figure, and then gradually turned from virtual to solid.
A woman in a purple dress with a very beautiful appearance but a cold temperament walked out, without any rain on her body.
It was Senior Sister Yu Lifeng.
"Greetings to Senior Sister." Yan Changyi spoke softly at this time.
Su Xingcai regained his composure and also leaned over and said, "Greetings to Fairy Yulifeng."
The senior sister nodded slightly and said to Yan Changyi: "Since we are going to Wudang Mountain, why not use your bamboo escape technique."
"Senior Sister, this son said that he was ordered by the real person. I think if I take him directly to Wulang Mountain, if he meets the real person, it will be disrespectful to the disciples." Yan Changyi replied with a calm expression but meticulously.
"You are attentive, but do you really believe what this person says?" Senior Sister's voice is always slightly cold.
"We'll know in a minute." Yan Changyi replied, and then didn't say much.
The senior sister nodded lightly, and then without even looking at Su Xing, the three of them walked along the mountain road in silence.
The whole journey was speechless, and after spending about an hour, we finally arrived at Wudang Mountain.
Ahead, purple bamboos are densely covered with rainwater splashing down, but the fog is still thick in the forest, and the bamboo leaves are shining with cold light. If they have weight, even if the water droplets hit them, they will still remain motionless, which is extraordinary.
At this time, Senior Sister and Yan Changyi were standing aside, looking at Su Xing.
Su Xing knew it was time for him to perform. Fortunately, he had just absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, and the spiritual energy in his body had almost recovered.
So, he directly used the technique to send spiritual energy into the air.
On rainy days, it will be more difficult to perform the Spiritual Rain Technique. Even if it is performed, the Spiritual Energy content will be much lower than usual.
But fortunately, he has already mastered the spirit rain technique.
This time, he had no reservations and spent 10% of his spiritual energy to rain!
Half a quarter of an hour later, rain was still falling from the sky, but the rain gradually glowed green and filled with vitality.
Su Xing felt carefully that due to the impact of the heavy rain, the actual effect of the spiritual rain technique was only equivalent to using 90% of the spiritual energy.
However, the bamboo forest in front seems to have gradually... come to life!
The bamboo leaves glowed with cold light and swayed rustlingly, as if they were drunk and filled with excitement.
The already thick fog rose even more, becoming thicker and thicker. The clouds were erratic, sometimes like a mist dragon cheering, and sometimes like a white horse running off the reins.
Until finally, the mist gradually enveloped the entire purple bamboo forest, and only the sharp tips of the purple bamboo could be seen high up, while the forest was covered with white light, making it impossible to see anything.
Yan Changyi's usually calm face was a little surprised at this time. He was also a wood spirit root, and he also knew Lingzhu very well. This spiritual rain is indeed full of vitality, but it does not seem worthy of the excitement of this bamboo forest. Is there anything special in it?
The senior sister just thought that this son's spirit rain technique was good, but after waiting for a while, she didn't understand what this had to do with her master, so she couldn't help but frown.
Of the people present, she was the only one who knew that the Master was really retreating in Wudang Mountain.
However, since ten years ago, Master has not been seen by anyone, and there is almost no news.
I regard Master as my dearest relative. I haven't seen him in ten years, and my heart is filled with longing and worry.
It must have been because of this that he was so confused that he almost believed that this person had really received the order from his master.
Thinking about it carefully, Master doesn't even want to see him, so could he show up because of an outsider?
With expectations, only to be disappointed. Thinking of this, the usually calm heart couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He said coldly to Su Xing:
"How dare you pretend to be a real person and tease us..."
"Please wait a moment."
There was some sweat on Su Xing's forehead, but this matter was inherently risky, which meant death anyway, so it was better to be bold and interrupted the senior sister's questioning.
He took two more steps forward and said to the bamboo forest:
"Senior, please show up and see me."
The mist in the bamboo forest surged, and the faint sword light flickered, but there was no echo.
This person dared to interrupt him. Anger appeared on the senior sister's face, and her face was already a little crimson.
Su Xing glanced at the senior sister and said that he had no choice but to risk his life by using the power of the golden elixir, so he simply gave up many worries.
Seeing that the senior sister wanted to speak out again, she interrupted the other party again:
"Senior sister, don't be anxious, because...I am also very anxious."
He took a few steps forward and shouted again to the bamboo forest:
"Senior promised me a few days ago that if I give you better tasting rainwater, I will give you a reward. I wonder if you remember it."
The senior sister looked angrily, then said in a cold voice:
"Xiong is talking nonsense there. How could my master say such...such childish words."
However, the rain in the sky seemed to pause for a moment, and the mist suddenly surged in the forest, scrambling to retreat to both sides until a gap as wide as one person was revealed. Looking carefully, the purple bamboos re-exposure in the gap are all bent towards the middle of the road, like a person crouching down.
And a figure in gray clothes gradually walked out from the gap.
