However, Bai Lisheng took Yun Xiao out of the main hall of Xiaoyao Palace. Bai Lisheng saw Yun Xiao lowering his head and said nothing, then touched his head and asked, "Your name is Yun Xiao, right?"
"Yes, Master Baili. The disciple's name is Yun Xiao. Master, you can call me Xiao'er." Yun Xiao looked up at Baili Sheng and saw that he was not as serious as other elders, and his voice was kinder. A bit of intimacy.
Seeing that Yun Xiao was extremely handsome, Baili Sheng seemed to be thinking of someone. He sighed softly and said softly: "Xiao'er, you will follow me today. When the important matter is over, the headmaster will arrange for you to become a disciple of another master. .”
Yun Xiao looked confused and asked: "Uncle Baili, can I accept you as my teacher?" He didn't know anything about the elders, but he just felt that Baili Sheng was more kind than other elders, so he asked. ask.
Baili Sheng smiled slightly and said: "Xiao'er, I can't make the decision on this matter. Among the elders of the Xiaoyao sect, I am a mediocre disciple. I only assist the leader in taking care of some secular affairs in the sect and have never accepted a disciple. Look. If you are so talented, the leader will definitely arrange for you to be under the disciple of an elder with a higher level of cultivation. Maybe, the leader will accept you as his disciple himself!"
Yun Xiao said "Oh", a little absent-minded, and did not understand the meaning of Baili Sheng's words. Yuan Tianzong was the only relative in his memory. At this time, he only felt lonely. As for the so-called cultivation, he had to I have never thought about Tao becoming an immortal.
He rubbed his nose and asked again: "Uncle Baili, where are we going?"
The two left the main hall and walked south along the corridor of the square. The scene inside the square was blocked by the corridor and could only be seen faintly, but the buildings outside the square could be seen at a glance.
Baili Sheng first pointed to the majestic buildings on both sides of the square and said: "Xiao'er, look. Our Xiaoyao sect has two main halls. To the south is Xiaoyao Palace, which is where we came out. Opposite to it is the Purple Palace in the north. Xiao Palace, these two halls are where the elders and disciples practice and discuss matters. The middle palace between the two halls is the Shen Xiao Square, where the disciples usually perform martial arts competitions. Later, there will be An important ceremony takes place.”
Yun Xiao looked in through the corridor, and except for two tall buildings, she only saw what seemed to be a lot of people in the square. Before he could take a closer look, Baili Shengyou pointed to a circle of pavilions outside the square and said: "Outside the Shenxiao Square, there are eight areas built according to the Bagua directions. These areas are where the disciples live and practice daily. place. Among them, the three buildings of Qian, Dui and Xun are the disciples of Xiaoyao Palace who belong to Xiaoyao Palace, and they are all male. The three buildings of Kun, Zhen and Gen are the female disciples of Zixiao Palace who belong to Zixiao Palace.
That corner is a guest room, used to entertain visiting guests. Li position is a flexible area, and most of these are people who live in the Xiaoyao sect and do not focus on cultivation. This Bagua direction plus Shenxiao Square is the layout of the Nine Palaces of our Xiaoyao Sect. There are a total of 365 resting places of different sizes and 72 places for practicing. The departure position we are going to is in charge of me, and I will place you there first. After the leader makes a decision tomorrow, I will send you to where you should go. "
Yun Xiao said "Oh" and lowered his head in silence. For some reason, he especially didn't like to say goodbye, even for this brief acquaintance. Yun Xiao has been practicing the Hunyuan True Method, which operates based on the directions of the Nine Palaces and Bagua. He knew that Li was a fire person, which was perfect for him.
Seeing that Yun Xiao was worried, Bai Lisheng thought he was unfamiliar with this place and said, "Xiao'er, do you have anything with you? Do you need your uncle to help you get it?"
"No...no." Yun Xiao subconsciously touched the fire spirit bead on her chest. If she was talking about carrying something with her, this bead might be all she had. Suddenly I felt something shaking around my waist, and when I looked down, I saw a crystal clear jade pendant.
While walking, the two of them had arrived at the off-site building complex. The buildings here were mainly red. There is a five-story building in the middle of this area, with winding corridors connecting the surrounding three-story buildings. The two of them walked along the stone paved path, and Bai Lisheng took Yun Xiao to the corner room on the fifth floor of the building in the middle. This room is very spacious, with plenty of sunlight, and the fragrance of sandalwood is fragrant. There is a red octagonal desk in the room. There are pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table. There is a bed in the inner room behind the octagonal table, which is not gorgeous. The quilts on the bed are neatly folded.
Bai Lisheng asked Yun Xiao to sit at the octagonal table and wait for a while, then said: "Xiao'er, you can rest here first, I will come when I go." Yun Xiao agreed and sat at the table blankly.
Bai Lisheng pushed the door open and went out. Yun Xiao looked around. Out of boredom, she picked up a brush and played with it by herself. The environment here is hundreds of times better than Qinglian Mountain, but to Yun Xiao, it is not as friendly as Qinglian Mountain. Because there are no familiar people, this is still a strange place for him. He didn't know if this place could become his home.
It was about a cup of tea when footsteps sounded outside the room. Yun Xiao could tell that one of them was probably Baili Sheng, and the other one was light-footed and probably not a cultivator. Just listen to a woman's coquettish voice: "Uncle Baili, why are you dragging me here?"
"Didn't I tell you? I brought a friend to you." The person who spoke was Bai Lisheng. As the two people were asking and answering questions, they had already appeared outside Yun Xiao's room.
Yun Xiao stood up and saw a girl of about eleven or twelve years old standing next to Bai Lisheng. The girl was wearing a plain brocade gown with a lotus green background. She had neat hair, a romantic and chic hanging bun, and her skin was as smooth as gel. , The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, the beauty is exquisite. I saw that her eyes were like autumn water, looking at herself up and down.
Yun Xiao felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him and lowered his head slightly. When I was feeling embarrassed, I suddenly heard the girl say: "Are you Mr. Yun? It turns out that Uncle Baili didn't lie to me. He really has a handsome brother. My name is Wan'er. I am twelve years old this year, two years older than you. .”
Yun Xiao agreed, raised her head hurriedly, and said: "Sister Wan'er, my name is Yun Xiao, I am ten years old. You can just call me Xiao'er."
The girl walked up to Yun Xiao, hugged Yun Xiao's arm with both hands, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Master Yun, from now on, I will take care of you."
Yun Xiao has been practicing with Yuantian Sect since she was born and has never been in contact with girls. At this time, he was so close to Wan'er, coming into contact with Wan'er's soft body, and smelling the girl's faint body fragrance, he couldn't help but blush on his face, feeling embarrassed for a moment.
Baili Sheng was very pleased to see the two children so close. Wan'er was an orphan. She was discovered by chance when Master Xuan Cheng came down the mountain and brought him up the mountain. At that time, Wan'er was only five or six years old. After coming to Qiyuan Mountain, Wan'er originally practiced in Zixiao Palace, but her temperament was too gentle and easy-going, and she didn't care about the journey of cultivation. She made little progress over the years.
Xuanshang saw that the child did not have this ambition and was unwilling to force him, so he sent him to Baili Sheng. She thought that this child could live a good life on Qiyuan Mountain and live a long and happy life. It was a good thing and this fate was not in vain. Wan'er has been following Baili Sheng for five years since she was seven years old.
Baili Sheng always loved Wan'er very much, treating her as his own child and following her in everything big or small. Although Wan'er is sensible, she has inevitably developed the pampering that a girl of this age should have. Wan'er was born into a poor family, without a father or mother, but she had a tenacious temperament. She never took the initiative to contact the so-called elders and disciples, the elites of the sect, but kept a distance from them.
Today, Bai Lisheng said that Yun Xiao was the child of elder Xuan Xi and wanted Wan'er to accompany and take care of her, but Wan'er was unwilling to come. But after hearing about Yun Xiao's life experience, he felt pity and reluctantly came over. When they met, they became very attached to her. That "Master Yun" may be the only "stubbornness" in my mind.
Baili Sheng pities Wan'er who is lonely and helpless. Although he has taken good care of her over the years, there is a big age difference between them, so it is difficult for them to talk about everything. When Yun Xiao came here today, Bai Lisheng could also see that he was lonely and helpless. Thinking of his life experience, he would definitely be ignored by others in the sect, so he thought of letting them take care of each other. This time, it seems that the two of them are very much in tune with each other, and they are destined to be destined to each other.
Baili Sheng looked at the two people with a smile and said softly: "Wan'er, Xiao'er, from now on, you two will be relatives. You must love each other and take care of each other."
Wan'er smiled and promised: "Uncle Baili, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Master Yun."
Yun Xiao also agreed. When Bai Lisheng said "relatives", he thought of his master who had been teaching him carefully for five years. After what happened today, Yun Xiao vaguely felt that he would never be able to see his master again. Suddenly my nose felt sore and I was about to shed tears.
Seeing Yun Xiao like this, Wan'er looked at Baili Sheng with confusion on her face, and Bai Lisheng was also confused. She walked up to Yun Xiao, patted his shoulder, and asked: "Xiao'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?"
Yun Xiao raised her head, her eyes were already red, and she said quietly: "Uncle Baili, I want to see Master Yuantian."
Baili Sheng sighed and nodded slightly. He originally wanted Wan'er to accompany him, but the novelty of their first meeting could cover up this matter. I didn't expect this child to have such keen senses, and I didn't know what to do at the moment.
Just listen to Wan'er say: "Uncle Baili, I heard you say that Master Yun and Master Yuan Tianzong have been dependent on each other since childhood. Today is such an important day, Master is about to ascend to the immortal world, why not let Master Yun go and see it together?"
"Ascension to the Immortal Realm? What is that?" Yun Xiao grabbed Wan'er's arm and asked. In his heart, he didn't know what it meant to ascend or become an immortal. He only cared about whether he would never see his master again.
Baili Sheng was silent for a moment and sighed: "Well, then I will take you there. Xiaoer is a member of my Xiaoyao sect. Today is such a grand event, so it would be good to go and experience it." Baili Sheng said this, There was still some hesitation in my heart. He knew that Yuan Tianzong handed Yun Xiao over to him before he ascended to immortality. He must not have wanted the child to see him ascend and become more sad. But looking at it now, if Yunxiao misses today, he will never see his most beloved master again. For him, it may be an eternal regret.
At this time, Shenxiao Square was already full of people, and everyone looked solemnly at the Babel Stone in the middle. Baili Sheng had no choice but to take Yun Xiao and Wan'er along the stairs outside Xiaoyao Palace to the sixth floor. The three of them stood on the corridor and could just see the whole view of Shenxiao Square. Yun Xiao lay on the fence with her feet raised, looking towards Shenxiao Square, looking for the figure of Yuan Tianzong.
Finally, he found a man with white beard and hair, tall and tall, wearing white plain clothes and sitting under the Tongtian Stone. It was the Master Gong Tianzong. On weekdays, the spirit turtle that played with him was lying at the feet of Yuan Tianzong. Looking further ahead, there were many people he didn't recognize standing in front of Yuan Tianzong. Looking from a distance, I could see that most of them were dressed similarly to the Xiaoyao Sect, wearing various colored robes. There are also some people who are dressed differently, wearing both Taoist robes and monk's robes. They should not be members of the Xiaoyao sect.
Yun Xiao did not know the elders of the various sects of the righteous way, and was only attracted by the six female Taoist nuns with immortal appearance, elegant and refined appearance. Three of them seemed to have a higher status than Xuan Wei and Xuan Xuan who were in the hall today. Shang stood together. In front of them, at the position closest to Yuantian Sect, stood a middle-aged Taoist nun wearing white Daopo. Although the white color was simple and elegant, the decoration was extremely gorgeous and solemn. The man had kind eyes and was talking to Yuan Tianzong. Yun Xiao recognized him. That person was Hui Yin, whom he had met four days ago.
Yun Xiao lowered her head and picked up the jade pendant hanging from her waist. Thinking of the agreement between Hui Yin and herself, she felt that there were still relatives in this world, and felt a warmth in her heart. Come to think of it, Master Huiyin is the second person I have met besides Yuan Tianzong. Yun has practiced Hunyuan Zhenfa since she was a child, and her eyesight and hearing have long been different from ordinary people. However, Yuan Tianzong and Hui Yin communicated in low voices, and Yun Xiao still couldn't hear what they were saying.
Soon, the two stopped communicating, and Yuan Tianzong sat upright under the Tongtian Stone. Master Xuancheng stepped forward to salute and whispered a few words, and Yuan Tianzong nodded. Yun Xiao saw a middle-aged Taoist priest standing behind Xuancheng. The man stood tall and proud, showing great respect for Yuan Tianzong. Yun Xiao had never seen this man in the main hall. This person is none other than Xuan Yi, who was still thinking about it on the wall of Qingfeng Cliff.
Everyone in the square nodded and saluted, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Master Yuan Tianzong for his emergence and ascension. May Master Yuan Tianzong ascend to the gate of godhood soon, obtain the status of god, and achieve the righteous path." Yuantianzong nodded slightly, and then his eyes Closed tightly, as if waiting for something.
Yun Xiao looked puzzled and asked: "Uncle Baili, who are those people in the square? What are they doing? What are the gates of ascension and godhood?"
Wan'er also looked at Bai Lisheng with a puzzled face, waiting for his answer.
