North Journey

Chiwei Reef.

The icy sea breeze whipped up waves and slapped on the cliff, and layers of dark clouds pressed down from the sky, as if they were about to destroy the city.

The wind was raging wildly, the sky was drooping, and the whole sea area was filled with a dangerous atmosphere on the eve of the storm.However, the figure standing on the top of the reef seemed unaware of it.Her hair was not messed up, her robes were unfit, and the shadowy half face under the hood looked like a jade carving.

A ray of light swirled around his palm, he stretched out his other hand to poke it, and then closed his palm, the halo disappeared.

"Beihai... is it a demon clan..."

There seemed to be imperceptible joy in the tone.He laughed silently, ticking his fingers in the air.

"This smell... a bit familiar..."

Turning around, the black robe made a rattling sound at that moment, and the bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, instantly wetting his robe that had lost its spiritual power protection.The rain-soaked robe clings to his body, making it even colder in the increasingly icy wind.He walked away step by step, disappearing into the rain that hit the sky.

This feeling, who is watching me?

Chu Ze, who was resting with his eyes closed on the boat, suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of doubt on his face.He didn't notice that the dagger that he carefully placed in his arms emitted a soft white light.

The feeling of being spied on like that disappeared in a flash, but the residual anxiety pervaded Chu Ze's heart.Closing his eyes, unable to calm down any longer, Chu Ze simply got off the couch and pushed open the door.

The corridors around a few turns were empty and uninhabited.Because of the sudden rainstorm, everyone returned to their rooms.

Chu Ze walked aimlessly, his eyes fell on the various animals painted on the bulkhead, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"His Royal Highness King Wu'an."

After walking a few steps, Chu Ze suddenly heard a familiar voice.He stopped unconsciously and stood there holding his breath.

Xiao Ziyao?

Who is he talking to?

Of course, Chu Ze was no stranger to this genius who had once attracted much attention in the academy.As the grandson of Mr. Xiao Zhengcheng, Xiao Ziyao was born to stand taller than others.While everyone else was still babbling, Xiao Ziyao had been studying classics, historical classics, and chapters and sentences of the Four Books by Xiao Lao's side.

As for the head of Chongwen Academy, Prince Rui Ye Sheng also obviously admired the child of this teacher's family, and praised him in public more than once for having the qualities of a Cymbidium.

However, when Xiao Ziyao was 15 years old, he unexpectedly rejected Ye Sheng's invitation, and instead of choosing to study in Chongwen Academy, he came to Mingde Academy, far away from the imperial capital Anyi, and stayed here for three years.

With a prosperous future at his fingertips, he was the first to enter the illusion test of the Yinxianzong after the arrival of the three sects of Taoism, and successfully joined the Yinxianzong's sect.

If it was said that he just wanted to prove himself and not rely on his grandfather's reputation, Chu Ze wouldn't believe it. A person who could hold down the gang of rich and powerful children who had never been lawless in the imperial capital should never be so childish.For them, whether their grandfather's reputation or their family's power, they are just shortcuts to the top.

So, Xiao Ziyao wanted to embark on the immortal journey, probably because of the "King Wu'an" he mentioned?

Wu'an... which county king of Dazuo has this title...

"Zong Xian, just call me 'Changqing'."

A low sigh came into Chu Ze's ears with that distinctive voice. It turned out to be the "Changqing Daoist"?

Chu Ze was a little surprised, and then remembered that he seemed to have read it in a book. Princess Changning died early in this dynasty, leaving only one son. The emperor was very sympathetic, and gave her the surname Ye, and named him the king of Wu'an County. .It's just that the Prince of Wu'an County didn't live in the palace, nor did any anecdotes come out. As time passed, he was gradually forgotten.

So, it turned out that he had worshiped under the Yinxian sect early on?

Yinxianzong is located on Taihe Mountain in Wu'an County, so the title "Wu'an" makes sense.

No matter what Chu Ze thought, when he heard Ye Weiyan's "Zong Xian", Xiao Ziyao's calm expression was broken in an instant.

"Xiao Yan, do you remember me?"

"Zong Xian."

Avoiding Xiao Ziyao's hand, Shang Shixu's expression was slightly unnatural.After all, he is not the real Ye Weiyan, and he can't repay Xiao Ziyao's feelings belonging to Ye Weiyan.

The particularly bright colors in the memory, the two equally innocent and lovely children, the boy who held Ye Weiyan's hand and said he would protect him forever, never moved away from Ye Weiyan when he fell down and woke up The flustered look in his eyes... If the real Ye Weiyan saw Xiao Ziyao appearing in front of him as promised, he would be ecstatic, but he is not him.

Shang Shixu saw Xiao Ziyao's hurt eyes, hesitated for a moment, put his hand on his shoulder,

"Brother Xiao, long time no see, Ye Yan misses you very much."

"Me too." Xiao Ziyao's eyes lit up in an instant, and then he tilted his head as if embarrassed, and his ears turned red, "Well, Your Majesty misses you very much too. It's a whole room."

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

"It's much better after being recuperated these years, but after all, I'm getting old, and the princes are restless—" Xiao Ziyao realized that it seemed inappropriate to say these things to Ye Weiyan, so he closed his mouth embarrassingly.It's a pity that Xiao Zongxian, who is full of knowledge and eloquence, came in front of Ye Weiyan, but he really didn't know what to say.

Shang Shixu saw his embarrassment, but he didn't know how to speak, so he simply gave up and looked up at the corner.

"Who is there?"

"it's me."

Chu Ze came out calmly, not flustered by being discovered by eavesdropping, or in other words, he just acted as if he just passed by here.

Shang Shixu naturally knew how long he had been here, but he didn't reveal it. Pressing Xiao Ziyao's dissatisfaction,

"Brother Run, Zong Xian, although the two of you have not formally joined the Yinxian Sect, but now we are in the realm of the Yaozu, and the form is difficult to understand. You may wish to follow me to practice the introductory exercises first, and return to the sect in the future. Choose another good teacher to teach the profound Taoism."

"In this way, there will be Senior Brother Lao Changqing."

Chu Ze nodded, while Xiao Ziyao frowned slightly.

"Where's Brother Lin?"

"Although Taoism can be taught orally, but my Taoist school has three caves, four supplementary and twelve categories of Taoism, which need to be studied word by word and devoted to study. Brother Lin doesn't know grammar, so I will teach you and other methods first, and then teach him calligraphy."

Xiao Ziyao asked this question because he was afraid that Ye Weiyan's actions would be flawed, which would affect his status in the sect. At this time, seeing that he was thinking properly, he also realized that Ye Weiyan today is not the Xiaoyan who didn't understand the world, but the first sect of the Taoist sect. He is the first disciple of the head teacher, and the senior brother of the "Wei" generation of Yinxianzong.

After Chu Ze and Xiao Ziyao began to meditate for the first time, Shang Shixu left the room and came to the guest room prepared by the Yaozu for Lin Li.

Zhang Weiheng has been here for a while, and his similar background to Lin Li obviously quickly drew the distance between the two.

Seeing Ye Weiyan's arrival, Zhang Weiheng got up quickly.

"Little brother, you are here."

"Qingyuan."

Shang Shixu nodded at him, and his eyes fell on Lin Li.

"Lin Li, do you know why you learned Taoism?"

He was obviously only a few years older than his son who died young, but Lin Li felt from the young man in front of him the sense of oppression that he could only feel in front of the village chief. No, it was much stronger than that.

He clenched his fists, remembering the blood that was everywhere that day, and fell to his knees with a "plop",

"I want revenge, please teach me!"

He has seen the scene where the Danya sect's immortal head exploded the house with a wave of his hand, and he has also seen how those damned monster races wantonly played with the lives of mortals and applauded. The clan was even more powerful, and then killed the bear demon back then.

Shang Shixu gave him a little help, and Lin Li was lifted up by an invisible force.He looked at this taciturn man whose eyes were always red because of hatred, and forced himself to calm down.

"Do you know that our trip is to 'help' the monster race, and the human race and the monster race reached an agreement 800 years ago?"

"……Yes."

"Do you know that the first essence of the sect is to cultivate yin and yang, to cultivate both life and life, and to return to nature and the unity of nature and man. If you are full of hatred, it will be difficult to calm down, and the way to longevity will be extremely difficult?"

"Yes."

"Then you are so frank and tell me that seeking the Tao is only for revenge, are you not afraid that my Yinxianzong will reject you?"

"Brother Changqing!"

Standing aside, Zhang Weiheng smelled a bloody smell in the air, and knew that Lin Li's clenched hand was too hard to pinch the skin, so he yelled quickly, trying to stop Ye Weiyan from continuing.

However, Shang Shixu's eyes never changed because of this, they were cold and calm, as if nothing in the world could move him.

"... Immortal Elder." Lin Li's voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes were firm, and he was no longer a little weak because of loss. "Although I haven't read any books, I know a truth, 'Killing pays for life, owes life'. What's more, if I can't even avenge Yunniang and Goudan, what kind of man am I?"

"Xianchang, I am different from you. I have never thought about how much truth I have to understand and how long I have to live. I just wanted to live with Yunniang until my temples are gray, like the third uncle, and then watch Goudan marries a wife and has children, and it's enough to tease and tease his grandson when he grows old.

But now that Yunniang is dead and the dog eggs are gone, it's meaningless for me to live alone, but I'm not reconciled to not being able to keep their corpses back then.

I heard that after practicing some Taoism, I can slay demons and eliminate demons like those Taoist priests. I don't know if I can do it, but I want to give it a try.

So it doesn't matter if the head fairy accepts me or not, I always want to avenge Yunniang and Goudan with my own hands. "

Zhang Weiheng moved his eyes away, he couldn't bear to look or listen anymore.He was better than Lin Li back then, but not much better.Back then, when he sold himself to that person who didn't seem to be on the right path in order to raise enough money for his younger brother's medical treatment, he was actually not afraid, but he only had such a younger brother, how could he just sit back and watch? He dies.

But maybe it was God's pity, he was rescued by his master, and his younger brother was also given a good care by the master.Later, he also sneaked down the mountain to visit his younger brother. Seeing that he was living a happy life, he completely let go.

It's just that the living can still be saved, but the dead...

Shang Shixu still looked directly into Lin Li's eyes, and said word by word:

"What if I say that the bear demon is already dead?"
