I plant love Gu for Xianjun

The venue for the final trial was not the bone altar in front of him.

King Gu and Nuo Suoma disappeared in a blink of an eye.Under the leadership of the guardian, the remaining nine qualified people left the altar and walked towards the depths of the lush swamp.

This place seems to be more dangerous and treacherous than the Luoxing Swamp where the Gu Hall is located.The air was filled with a blue-purple poisonous mist that covered the sky and the sun.The shallow waters are full of leeches, and the deep waters are lurking with crocodiles.As for the soft tendrils hanging down in mid-air, it is even more unclear whether it is a parasitic plant or the tail of a poisonous snake.

A group of people trekked in the swamp in silence, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.Until the leading guardian stopped.

At some point, [-]% of the poisonous fog had dissipated.A huge stone palace surrounded by vines suddenly appeared, and Nosoma and Gu King had already stood in front of the palace.

Inside the seemingly majestic stone palace, there are very few furnishings.Apart from a few stone carvings of the Five Immortals, there are dozens of quaint stone beds, most of which are incomplete.

What's even more weird is that the stone bed and the ground, including the surrounding stone pillars, all present a faint red color, as if human flesh and blood.

On both sides of the main hall, there are more than a dozen guards of the Immortal Sect, all holding ritual staffs and wearing short knives at their waists, quiet and solemn.

"You have one last chance to choose to leave."

Leading everyone to the stone bed, Nuosoma once again reminded her, especially taking a few more glances at the woman who came here out of love.

There was dead silence in the hall, and there was no sound.

The content of the final trial is finally revealed-all qualified people will lie on the stone bed and drink special medicine. If they can withstand the physical and mental test during the drug attack, they can officially worship the Five Immortals.

It sounds uncomplicated, but simplicity does not necessarily mean peace.

The medicines were brought up quickly.It was a kind of reddish-brown juice in an ordinary earthenware bowl. It looked sticky and disgusting, and there were powdery white solids floating up and down.

Feng Zhangjun looked at Lian Zhuxian: "Have you drank?"

Lian Zhuxian frowned, curled his lips, and did not speak.

The qualified ones raised their heads and drank the juice, and then lay down on the ancient stone bed as required.

Nuosoma gestured to King Gu, who raised his hand, only to see countless tiny light spots falling in midair, shining like a river of stars.

"……be prepared!"

With a premonition of what was going to happen next, Lian Zhuxian tightly grasped Feng Zhangjun's arm.

This time the scene changed extremely quickly, and in an instant the surroundings became pitch black again.

But the darkness is not calm——Feng Zhangjun can feel that everything is spinning crazily, as if he is on a bumpy and trembling boat in the wild waves.

Sooner or later you lose your balance.But to make matters worse, countless voices resounded in the darkness, and countless pictures lit up, all of which were fragments from Xiangvoi, mixed and chaotic, rushing all over!

Fengzhangjun instinctively wanted to break through this layer of demonic barriers, but just started practicing his kung fu, when he heard Lian Zhuxian yelling anxiously—"Don't move! Don't destroy Xiangpi!!"

As soon as the words fell, there was another violent shaking, and two strong winds from different directions appeared out of nowhere, suddenly rolling Lian Zhuxian into the air!

Feng Zhangjun snatched him into his arms with quick eyes and hands, then hugged him tightly, and the two of them were ups and downs together.

After an unknown amount of time, the darkness finally settled down slowly.

Still lacking the sense of reality of stepping on the ground under his feet, Feng Zhangjun did not take the risk of letting Lian Zhuxian go.The two maintained an ambiguous posture, clinging to each other.

It was also because of this that Feng Zhangjun noticed that something was wrong with practicing Zhu Xian.

Silent, stiff, even trembling slightly.

He gently put his arms around Lian Zhu Xian's shoulders, silently comforting him.

After a while, he felt his head move in his arms.

"I'm fine." Lian Zhuxian said softly, "Just now I had a little resonance with Zeng Shan after taking the medicine, and I'm fine now."

After speaking, he moved his arms a little uncomfortably.Feng Zhangjun immediately let go and gave him freedom.

At the same time, the ground appeared.

When the two of them were "down to earth" again, the darkness in front of them also disappeared.

The scene is still the dilapidated stone temple before, but the first thing Fengzhang-Jun cares about is the situation of practicing Zhu Xian.

His face was pale and he looked embarrassed.Perhaps it was because of the relationship that had also experienced trials, and some bad memories were evoked by Xiang Peep.

After confirming that he was fine, Feng Zhangjun then turned his gaze to the distance.

Zeng Shan has already woken up, but he still can't move, and he is limp on the stone bed.And her eyes were full of horror, looking at another stone bed next to her.

The Nanzhao youth who was determined to revenge was lying there, but at the moment it was empty—more precisely, there was no one there, but there was a large pool of bright red blood.

Looking down along the direction of the blood flow, I saw a group of horrible objects curled up on the dark red rocky ground, red, white and white, like the cup of weird medicine that everyone drank just now.

"He failed."

Lian Zhuxian held his forehead with one hand, and spoke slowly: "However, according to the rules, his family feud will be avenged by the Five Immortals Sect, and his death is not in vain."

Looking around, this final trial is coming to an end - except for Zeng Shan, three people have woken up safely, and the other four died unfortunately and in strange ways.

Only the girl who was willing to take risks for her lover was left, and she was still lying on the stone bed, twitching non-stop.

"The longer it takes, the more troublesome it will be." Lian Zhuxian shook his head, "It's probably dangerous."

His judgment was quickly confirmed.

The girl's convulsions became violent spasms.Under everyone's astonished gaze, her limbs twisted into an unnatural posture, making a crackling sound.Immediately afterwards, the fracture swelled up again, forming piles of terrifying sarcoma.

After a while, the petite woman turned into an ugly and deformed monster, struggling to get off the stone bed.

"Haimu." Nuosoma suddenly called out a name.

In the corner, a young guard of the Five Immortals Sect stepped forward silently.

Nuosoma didn't look at him, and said directly: "You have two choices now: first, end her life and pain. Or, give up your life-protecting Gu in exchange for her life, and I can let you go."

Haimu nodded, he was silent for a moment, then put down the guard of honor in his hand, and drew out the saber at his waist.

"Sure enough, he is an unlucky person!" Lian Zhu Xian showed disdain, "But it's good, at least let that girl stop thinking about it, lest her ghost linger, and go astray for someone who is not worth it after death. "

The monster was still struggling on the stone platform, like a weak cicada struggling to break free from its cocoon shell.I saw Haimu stepping forward quickly, raising the knife in his hand and dropping it, a piercing howling suddenly rose to the sky.

The tumor on the monster's body was split open by the knife, turning into pools of blood and flesh.The remaining limbs can still vaguely see the outline of a slender woman, but the appearance is already bloody.

And this unrecognizable woman was slowly opening and closing her lips, and seemed to make a sound that could not be heard in the distance.

Haimu obviously heard it, because he stopped moving.

It was too late to say it, and then there was only a sound of sticky water, and the wreckage scattered on the ground jumped up, wrapping Haimu tightly in an instant!

Shocked, Hai Mu lost his balance and slipped along with the woman.But after a while, the two of them were wrapped in a bloody mass, and they could no longer tell each other apart.

"... Mani." Nosoma called in a deep voice.

I saw Gu King casually picked up a stone, flicked his fingers, and the bloody lump burst into a soundless bloody swamp.

After the dust settled, no one showed any expressions of relief or joy.

"Do you still remember what is engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the Five Immortals Valley?"

Lian Zhu Xian seemed to be asking Feng Zhangjun, but also seemed to be sighing to himself.

--------

The long test for admission finally came to an end, and the scenes in Xiang Peeping began to switch frequently again.

In all kinds of flashing clips, Nosoma's figure can still be seen everywhere, but it is not difficult to detect that Zeng Shan, who officially joined the Five Immortals Sect, is also slowly changing.

Life on Yuncang Mountain is orderly. Although the children are always fighting in private, the dignity of teachers and the order of seniority are still clear and distinct.The young disciples regard their master as their heaven, forming a stable order between the family and the court.

The Five Immortals Sect is completely different.

After formally joining the religion, according to the rules, Zeng Shan and the three people who passed the trial together became brothers and sisters with different surnames.In the next year, they will help and take care of each other no matter in practice, in competition or in life.

The Yuncang sect is good at swordsmanship and spells, while the sects within the Five Immortals sect are extremely complicated.The medicine sect, poison sect, gu sect and other sects are different from each other and penetrate each other.It is precisely because of this that there is no master-student relationship in the Five Immortals Sect of "a teacher for one day and a father for life"-new disciples who have just glimpsed the way can follow the elders of each sect to practice in turn, and stay for ten years, twenty years, etc. In short, after a little success, decide on the direction of further study.

Not only that, perhaps because of walking through the gate of ghosts once, disciples of the Immortal Sect generally look down on many unnecessary trivial matters.They advocate simplicity and honesty, bold and straightforward personality, and do not have so many rules and interest entanglements as the Central Plains sect.A friendly discussion, a basket of herbs or a jar of fine rice wine can easily narrow the distance between each other.

The Five Immortals Sect is located in Nanzhao, and there are many festivals and celebrations.The entrance ceremony was followed by the March Three Flower God Festival, followed by Taisu Patriarch's birthday and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Shenwai Snow Mountain... In just a few months, Zeng Shan was no longer a stranger, walking in the valley People often greet her and treat her like a Nanzhao sister.

At the same time, the other side of her life is also slowly surging like an undercurrent.A huge vortex is secretly forming.

The Yuncang faction has a contact point in Taihe City, the capital of Nanzhao, which is just an ordinary restaurant on the surface.Every once in a while, Zeng Shan would find some reason to go to the capital, and briefly explain the recent situation of the Five Immortals Sect to the hidden stumps there.

All these exchanges are one-way - as the master said before departure, Yun Cangfeng never gave her any instructions or requests, and the relationship with the Five Immortals has always been peaceful.

Although Zeng Shan also raised his confusion about his mission in his speech, it would not be a bad thing if it continues like this without incident.

The beginning of spring in the second year is the new year in the Nanzhao calendar.The sisters in the teaching helped her change into the traditional clothes of the Five Immortals, adorned with a dazzling array of silver ornaments, pierced her ears, and dyed her nails. They also began to teach her how to draw eyebrows and powder, and carefully select the fragrance and color of rouge and gouache.

A woman aged eighteen or nineteen is like a delicate and gorgeous hydrangea, brewing new colors in the exotic water and soil, and slowly blooming.

However, one day in late spring and early summer, she met someone in a restaurant that she never expected to meet.

----

It is about a day's journey between Taihe City and the Five Immortals. There is a sub-altar in the city, which is in charge of daily affairs such as purchasing and reception.If the disciples who leave the valley and enter the city have nothing to do, they will often choose to stay overnight in the branch altar.

This day Zeng Shan came to Taihe City together with his sisters from the Jiaozhong University, and stayed in the sub-altar in the evening.There is no curfew at night in Taihe City, and a few sisters from Nanzhao meet to go to a time-honored restaurant in the south of the city to eat fried cicadas and fried silkworm chrysalis.Zeng Shantui said that he was not used to eating these things, and after they left together, he went out alone, heading towards the Drunken Immortal Building that Yun Cang was in charge of.

When she arrived at Zuixian Tower, it was just the time when the lights were on.The first floor was full of guests, she looked around twice to make sure she wasn't being followed by anyone, and then walked up to the second floor.

In addition to the hall, the second floor of the restaurant also has separate compartments.Zeng Shan randomly chose one to sit in, told Xiao Er two fixed dishes, and began to wait.

Not long after, the door of the compartment was pushed open, and someone walked in with dishes.Zeng Shan originally thought it was the hidden stake that he had been dealing with for more than a year, but he was stunned when he looked up.

The person who came was a young man, dressed in the rough clothes of a junior, with a thin body and missing an arm.

"... Huaiyuan?!"

When calling out this name, Zeng Shan's voice sounded a bit bitter,

"Senior Sister, long time no see. Did you expect it to be me?" Huaiyuan put down the tray in his hand, then stood by the table, staring at Zeng Shan intently.

"You've changed a lot, you're even more beautiful. When they walked in just now, they all said it was you, but I almost couldn't recognize you."

He said several words in a row, Zeng Shan came back to his senses, and said in astonishment: "Why did you come here? Could it be that you traveled with Master?"

"It has nothing to do with Master." Huaiyuan shook his head: "I asked for it myself. I heard that there is a shortage of manpower here in Nanzhao, so I volunteered to fill the vacancy."

"This idiot." Lian Zhu Xian, who was watching from the side, couldn't help cursing, "Zeng Shan's painstaking efforts were in vain."

Zeng Shan repeated in a daze: "...you, want to come to Nanzhao on your own initiative?"

"Yes." Huaiyuan nodded.

Zeng Shan took a deep breath, and immediately burst into flames: "You don't know the language of Nanzhao, and you haven't done outside business, so why come all the way here and waste your studies?!"

Huaiyuan frowned, as if aggrieved, but forcibly held back: "Let's not talk about this for now... Sister, I really miss you this year. Can you just treat us as siblings reunited and catch up on the past first?" "

Zeng Shan lost his temper: "Who allowed you to come here without permission? How could Master allow it?!"

Huaiyuan said: "Master goes out all day, and when he comes back, it's a retreat. Besides, he has never cared about my affairs."

Zeng Shan said angrily: "You are such an old man, what do you want other people to control you? Don't you know what is good or bad, and you want others to make decisions for you?!"

Huaiyuan was yelled at by her, and seemed more and more aggrieved: "You asked me if Master knew, and at the same time asked me what else I want others to do... What should I do?"

Zeng Shan was taken aback by what he said, and when he thought about it carefully, he was indeed contradicting himself, and he couldn't hold back his face, so he got up and wanted to leave.

Huaiyuan hurried to stop him, but was pushed by her, hit the corner of the table, and swept a plate of peanuts on the ground.

The crisp sound of the porcelain shattering made Zeng Shan turn her head, and she saw Huaiyuan half-kneeling on the ground, trying to tidy up with only one hand left.

"...Don't move!" She couldn't help but walked back and pulled Huaiyuan away.

Huaiyuan was dragged back two steps by her, didn't speak, just lowered his head.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Zeng Shanzhi couldn't help but sigh softly, and sat back on the chair.

"Let's talk about serious business. The leader of the Five Immortals Sect has been in retreat for the past few days, and there is nothing abnormal in the sect. Does Yun Cang have any instructions?"

"...No." Huaiyuan shook his head, remained silent for a while, before hesitating to speak: "Senior Sister..."

Zeng Shan sighed again: "I can't come out for too long, if there's anything you need, tell me quickly."

Huaiyuan nodded quickly: "Senior sister, they said that you have already joined the Five Immortals Sect, the kind of person who entered the sect. The master said that you were not allowed to do this, you are too courageous!"

Zeng Shan answered him: "Only by joining the religion can you get closer to the core, so what's wrong with that?"

"But I heard that everyone who joined the Five Immortals Sect is covered with poison. If you return to Yuncang ten years later, what will you do with the poison?"

When the word "ten years" sounded, Zeng Shan frowned, as if it was harsh: "I will worry about the future. Don't talk about me, how have you been these two years, how is everything on the mountain?"

Huaiyuan moved his lips, but didn't say anything more.

"Senior Sister doesn't want to hear it, and I don't care if I say it, you just pretend that everything is fine with me."

The summer night in Nanzhao was not cold, but Zeng Shan gathered his robes, and then seriously looked at the person in front of him.

I haven't seen him for two years, and Huaiyuan doesn't realize that he is past the age of curly hair.His stature elongated, his voice changed, and his face gradually receded from childishness, showing signs of maturity.

Rather like a stranger.

The two looked at each other silently, and after a while of silence, Zeng Shan stood up again.

"...Ayuan, I really have to go. If you don't want to go back, you can only take care of yourself. I can't care about you anymore in my current situation. I hope you can understand."

This time Huaiyuan didn't stop him anymore, he just asked again: "When will Senior Sister come over next time?"

"Not sure, it depends on the opportunity." After saying this, Zeng Shan paused and added: "If you are in a hurry, go to Master Zhang in the restaurant, he has a way to bring the news into the valley. "

Huaiyuan nodded, still hesitating to speak.

Zeng Shan didn't bother to ask, just forced him a handful of money, and left Zuixian Tower sullenly.

After all, it is the capital of the Nanzhao Kingdom. At night, Taihe City is brightly lit, and the streets outside the restaurant are crowded with people.

Lian Zhu Xian and Feng Zhangjun followed Zeng Shan silently, for some reason, they felt that her back looked a bit pitiful.

"She must feel very at a loss." Lian Zhuxian murmured, "I have paid ten years in advance for the things I want to protect, but the person concerned has easily given up on them. That's fine, but in the end I found that I escaped It's so far away, but still can't bear to leave Huaiyuan alone... how ironic."

"It's better to figure it out early." Mr. Fengzhang rarely has an opinion to express, "It's hard to get over the water, but life must go on."

Zeng Shan was still walking forward, there was still some distance between the Zuixian Tower and the sub-altar of the Five Immortals Sect, and there were many signs and lanterns on both sides of the street, colorful and charming in the dark night.

It would be nice if we could go to the night market with Feng Zhangjun in real life.

Lian Zhu Xian was thinking secretly like this, when he suddenly noticed a person running up from behind, passing through his illusory body, and heading towards Zeng Shan.

Why Huaiyuan again? !

Perhaps because he didn't know how to address him in public, Huaiyuan simply ran behind Zeng Shan in one breath.

"I forgot this just now..." Panting, he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to Zeng Shan.

Perhaps because of being too shocked, Zeng Shan stretched out his hand to take it in a daze.The handkerchief spread out to the sides in her hand, revealing the true contents inside.

A beautiful wooden hairpin.

Zeng Shan's eyelids twitched suddenly before he realized it.

"Do you know how dangerous it is to do this?!"

Among the crowd, she was not easy to get angry, so she could only lower her voice and express her inner anger with her eyes.

"I..." Huaiyuan seemed to realize that his behavior was inappropriate.

He seemed to want to apologize, but before he could open his mouth, Zeng Shan stepped forward and suddenly hugged him.

"I was seen." Feng Zhangjun pointed to the path on their right, and Lian Zhuxian realized that there were two women from the Five Immortals Sect, looking at them teasingly.

While hugging Huaiyuan, Zeng Shan quickly whispered something in Huaiyuan's ear, probably warning him not to do other stupid things.

Huaiyuan's body was stiff and motionless until she let go of him.

After that, Zeng Shan pretended to be a little girl again, and reluctantly parted with Huaiyuan.Then she walked a hundred or so steps along the street alone, and just turned to the branch road where the sub-altar was located, when she was stopped by the sisters of the Five Immortals who were peeping.

Thanks to the acting just now, the girls thought Zeng Shan and Huaiyuan were a couple.Zeng Shan readily admitted it.Everyone was joking and teasing, or they were curious and concerned, and they chatted around her for a long time, but no one became suspicious.

"At that time, people's hearts were really simple." Lian Zhuxian couldn't help but sigh, "If it were changed today, no one in the teaching would take the initiative to make friends with people from the Central Plains."

----

Barely coping with the accident brought by Huaiyuan, the next scene of Xiangpei returned to the Valley of the Five Immortals.

Zeng Shan has only been an apprentice for two years, so he is not considered an important person in the teaching.It stands to reason that the right and wrong about her should not have been spread too widely.However, thanks to the fellow sisters, within a few days, almost the entire Immortal Sect heard that "the little girl who was abducted and sold to Nanzhao by a man from the Central Plains got a one-armed girl again." of Central Plains men".

The concept of love in the Valley of the Five Immortals has always been free and generous.But the rumors have been circulating for a long time, after all, some boring people will still use it to make fun of it.Zeng Shan couldn't speak out to justify, he could only vent his anger by beating objects when others couldn't see him, he probably scolded Huaiyuan thousands of times in his heart.

That night, she stayed a little late in the medicine garden to tend the poisonous flowers that were about to ripen, but she overheard several senior sisters talking about her "love affair" again.

A senior sister first vividly described the scene of Zeng Shan and Huaiyuan embracing on the street.He also lamented that Zeng Shan was both beautiful and intelligent, so how could he fall in love with Huaiyuan, a thin, short and disabled "inferior man".

Then another senior sister half-jokingly said: "Isn't it natural to hit the original girl's family and like the original man? In this way, don't you have to worry about people robbing you for the leader, the Gu king, and the middle school?" Other senior brothers. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

"... No wonder this matter spreads to everyone."

Lian Zhuxian shuddered in his heart, silently feeling that he was really simple-minded in this regard.

He further pondered that Zeng Shan had good intentions for the leader of Nuosoma, and now that the Huaiyuan matter was raging, no matter what Nuosoma thought about Zeng Shan, Zeng Shan himself might not feel good about it.

Sure enough, after listening to a few words in silence, Zeng Shan lowered his head and ran away quickly, instead of going back to his disciple's room, he just wandered around in the sect.

Lian Zhu Xian and Feng Zhangjun followed her for a while, Feng Zhangjun suddenly asked, "Can you skip this scene?"

"It's not impossible... I just don't know where this jump will go." Lian Zhu Xian muttered softly, but waved his hand bluntly.

The foreground in front of them was suddenly blurred, and when it was clear again, the two of them were already on the grassy field under the lover's cliff.

The moonlight is like water, and a piece of silver light is sprinkled from a high place.Before Lian Zhu Xian could find Zeng Shan's whereabouts, he heard a soft voice not far away.

"Since you're here, why don't you show up and see?"

For a moment, Lian Zhu Xian almost thought that the voice was speaking to him.But he soon saw Zeng Shan coming out from behind the rock at the bottom of the cliff.

"Sorry," she apologized to the owner of the voice, "I was just passing by... I didn't want to disturb you."

Following her gaze, there was someone standing on the grass not far away, with long silver hair fluttering slowly in the evening wind—except for the leader Nuosoma, who else could it be.

He shook his head towards Zeng Shan: "Why bother apologizing, this is a place where anyone can come. There are so many things to do during the day, and it is also a good idea for me to go out occasionally at night and chat with people I meet. A kind of relaxation."

Lian Zhuxian thought to himself, if I had been Zeng Shan, I would never let go of such a good opportunity.

Sure enough, Zeng Shan immediately moved forward a few steps and came in front of Nuosoma.

A man in the moonlight looks softer than in the daytime.The wheat-colored complexion and tattoos that should give people a wild impression have turned into a kind of primitive coquettishness on him, like the big funeral flower at the entrance of the Five Immortals Valley, or in other words, like the five Sentani itself.

Zeng Shan stood in front of Nuosoma in a daze, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was Nuosoma who spoke first: "I heard that you recently met someone in Taihe City."

Zeng Shan's mood might be conflicted.She who never defended before, actually opened her mouth hesitantly.

"No... not as exaggerated as their rumors. It's just a fellow, I met by chance in a restaurant. At that time, I drank a few more drinks and talked about some hometown things... I felt uncomfortable for a while, and comforted each other. People in the teaching It is not appropriate to get close to outsiders, the disciple did not dare to forget."

She spoke very cautiously, but Nuosoma shook her head instead: "It's not inappropriate, but it is more necessary to test human nature. If you can get married in the end, it must be a golden and jade marriage. But if it doesn't work out, the consequences are often disastrous."

These words obviously reminded Zeng Shan of something he cared about: "Master, this disciple has something unclear, and I hope the master will clarify."

"I'm talking about relaxing chat, but I don't want to answer your questions." Nuosoma showed a embarrassed expression, but laughed again, "I'm joking, you just ask."

Zeng Shan pondered his words for a while: "...During the final trial that year, you repeatedly asked if someone asked to quit, but why didn't you just send that girl away?"

"It turned out to be this matter." Nuosoma raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, her expression was not happy. "At that time, I could indeed make a decision for her, and I could also save her life. But since then, Her life changed course because of me, and I became responsible for her. But my own life is in my own hands, isn't this a matter of course?"

Zeng Shan seemed to understand but didn't understand: "...Since people live in this world, it is inevitable to have contact with others, and it may affect the fate of others. Are they all responsible?"

"Of course." Nosoma affirmed without hesitation, "but don't misunderstand the meaning of being responsible. It's not forcing you to care about others, or even influence the fate of others. It's what you say and what you do. You must be responsible. Responsibility to yourself, to others. Can you see what I mean?"

Zeng Shan nodded: "But this is really tiring."

"Only when you feel tired can you know that you are alive."

Norsoma turned her gaze to the distance.Under the hazy night, everything in the Valley of Five Immortals is falling asleep.And such a night scene may not have changed for a hundred years or a thousand years.

He suddenly changed the subject: "What do you think of this Valley of the Five Immortals?"

"I... like it very much." Zeng Shan's voice seemed to become softer, "Xanadu, freedom and tranquility. It is rare in the Central Plains nowadays."

"Oh?" Nuosoma laughed: "How does it compare with your former master?"

Zeng Shan obviously hesitated for a moment: "...I am an orphan. Orphans can neither decide their own birth, nor who can be adopted. Although I have a good master, he will not be my lifelong support after all... I originally thought that I would stay in the teacher's school for the rest of my life, but now I sometimes think: Even if those things didn't happen back then, maybe one day I would choose to leave there."

"The cattail flowers follow the wind, and the young swallows leave the nest, it's all due to nature." Nosoma nodded, and then asked: "Then, this is your choice?"

Zeng Shan replied: "Since I like this place, this is my choice."

"But I think the Central Plains also has its beauty." Nosoma still smiled: "A small Valley of the Five Immortals has lived in seclusion so far due to its natural advantages, but it is also confined to a corner. Unlike the world of the Central Plains, where the sky is high and the sea is wide , There are endless scenery and endless stories.”

Zeng Shan seemed to hear the implication, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that you want to go to the Central Plains?"

Nosoma did not respond positively.

"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what other people in the valley think. The Five Immortals should not remain hidden forever. The brothers in the religion have the will and the right to walk in a wider world, and those who are cultivating in the Central Plains people are treated equally.”

This doesn't sound like a problem.However, more than two hundred years have passed in a flash, and it has still not been realized until now.

The grass field under the moon ushered in a long silence.

Under the cover of the moonlight, Zeng Shan set his gaze on Nosoma's face more boldly than usual.

But Nosoma didn't look at her, but kept looking at the shadowy scenery in the valley.

After a while, Zeng Shan seemed to understand something again: "Is this the responsibility you said?"

Nuosoma's chuckle came from the dimness: "Part of it, it's really tiring, isn't it?"

Just as he was speaking, he heard a rustling sound from the grass not far away, and a tall and pale figure appeared.

Nuosoma looked at Zeng Shan again: "The person I was waiting for is back, thank you for talking with me."

After speaking, he took a step and walked over there.

-

The figures of Nuosoma and Gu King gradually receded, and the scenery under the moon also became blurred.

Another scene ended, but Lian Zhu Xian's heart was not at peace.

He only knew that Xuan Tong, the senior brother in charge, had been committed to reconciling with the Central Plains, but he didn't know that he had inherited the mantle of the leader of Nosoma.But if this is the case, why did it become the situation later...

Thinking of this, he stole another look at Feng Zhangjun.

The process of Xiangguo was originally a kind of empathy. Walking side by side in the memory of others, I and Feng Zhangjun seemed to have a tacit secret.

However, this intimacy may not last long.

Lian Zhuxian remembered the ending of Zeng Shan and Huaiyuan.When such a memory comes, what kind of attitude should I use to face Feng Zhangjun...

He couldn't think of the answer for a while, and a new picture had appeared again——

In the private room of Zuixian Building in Taihe City, Zeng Shan took out a secret letter from his arms and solemnly placed it on the table.

"This is my observation record within the Five Immortals Sect in the past two years, as well as some personal observations and motions. Please send someone back to Yuncang as soon as possible."

The person sitting opposite her is still Huaiyuan.Perhaps it was because Zeng Shan had taught him a lesson, but he was quite disciplined at the moment, carefully accepting the secret letter, and seemed a little at a loss.

Zeng Shan nodded and said, "It hasn't been sealed yet, just read it if you want. Since you decided to stay here, this letter can also help you learn more about the situation in Nanzhao."

Only then did Huaiyuan unfold the envelope, took out a thick stack of paper, looked at it at a glance, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Senior Sister suggested that the Central Plains and the Five Immortals should be friends?"

Zeng Shan asked him back: "Is this very strange? The Central Plains and the Five Immortals had no grievances at all. It was only because of the boundary division between Dayan and Nanzhao that they were negligent, which caused the Central Plains to regard the Five Immortals as a different kind, while the Five Immortals I also don’t understand the vastness and profoundness of the cultivation world in the Central Plains. Strengthening integration and promoting understanding—isn’t this a better choice than being on guard against each other and being hostile to each other?”

Huaiyuan didn't seem to fully agree with her theory: "But senior sister, we in the Central Plains are a decent sect with the protection of real immortals. The Five Immortals Sect worships the ancient gods of chaos, which is an evil heretic. As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other. Why do senior sisters have to let each other understand?"

"What is the blessing of a real fairy? What you worship is a demon heretic!" Lian Zhuxian couldn't stand listening, and gritted his teeth to refute.

"..." Feng Zhangjun pretended not to hear this sentence.

Zeng Shan also frowned over there: "After all, the origin is just a long-standing legend. Shouldn't the important thing be the current actions and deeds of each sect? In short, you should take this letter back to Yuncang and give it to Master and the others." , I ask them to consider it according to their discretion... No stealing, adultery and tricks are allowed, do you hear me?!"

"Where have I been sneaking around..." Huaiyuan muttered in a low voice with some grievances, but still put away the secret letter neatly, and then fixed on Zeng Shan with a subtle, slightly unpleasant look. body.

Zeng Shan was a little scared by him: "What do you want to say?"

Huaiyuan's eyes flickered, and his cheeks were slightly red: "...Well, recently, many girls from the Five Immortals came to visit me in the Zuixian Tower. They also asked me, what is the relationship between me and my senior sister."

Mentioning this Zeng Shan got angry: "How dare you say that! Just because of your stupid behavior, my identity is too small, and the whole Zuixianlou is exposed, so what should I do! I really don't know what's going on in your mind! Is it water or straw!"

Huaiyuan didn't take it seriously: "I don't think they are thinking in that direction. Didn't you also say that, anyway, the Five Immortals and the Central Plains have always been in peace. I guess they never thought that Yun Cang would send people to lurk in this kind of place." Xiaomenxiaopai..."

"...You are the small sect. It is shameless to take advantage of the kindness and innocence of the Five Immortals Sect!" Lian Zhu Xian gritted his teeth.

Feng Zhangjun, who had been silent all this time, also frowned.

"I have a hunch." He seemed to change the subject deliberately: "That secret letter from Zeng Shan will be the cause of that disaster in the future."

----

The scene changed again, roughly another year had passed since Zeng Shan entrusted the secret letter.During this period, she has been in and out of Zuixian Tower several times, and each time she will reiterate or supplement her suggestions.And Huaiyuan met her alone almost every time.

The one-armed young man still looks clingy, and even has a tendency to push forward.As for Zeng Shan's attitude towards him, he became increasingly indifferent, but due to many scruples, he couldn't attack him.

On the other hand, perhaps it paid off, Yun Cangfeng finally began to show interest in the suggestion mentioned in Zeng Shan's secret letter, as if he wanted to make friends with the Five Immortals Sect.

"...Feng Zhangjun." Lian Zhu Xian called out the man's name very rarely, "If it is the Yuncang sect under your auspices, what should I do if I want to make friends with other sects?"

"We should first send envoys to discuss privately with the other party, and after the two parties reach a preliminary consensus, then agree on the detailed rules of the exchange and announce it to the world in a timely manner."

"It should be so." Lian Zhuxian nodded, "In your impression, did the Five Immortals Sect and the Yuncang Sect ever have such a good relationship?"

Not waiting for Fengzhangjun to shake his head to deny it, Xiangpi presented a brand new scene.

----

During the cold dew season, the quiet Valley of the Five Immortals suddenly became noisy.

Immortal sect disciples from various sects flocked to Taniguchi from all directions, crowding on both sides of the road.Zeng Shan also mixed in with several teachers and sisters who were familiar with each other on weekdays.

All eyes are looking towards the mouth of the valley, and there are many voices whispering.Lian Zhuxian took the initiative to move over, and soon caught the two words that were repeated the most - "Xianji".

Before he had time to think, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of his eyes, blowing a strong fragrance from Taniguchi.

The crowd spontaneously fell silent, as if waiting for an important moment.

The wind is still blowing, adding a bit of coolness to this hot and humid valley all year round.At the end of the fragrance are the white petals that drift with the wind, like snowflakes all over the sky, and a layer of white tapestry is spread on the ground in a blink of an eye.

In the face of such a battle, Mr. Fengzhang already had a clear expression on his face; Lian Zhuxian, who was not aware of what was going on, was looking up, and quickly saw the figures who came stepping on the tapestry.

It was a line of snow-like elegance and purity, all of them were women, although they were covered with light veils, they still couldn't hide their stunning looks.

They wear delicate updos, decorated with pearl crystals.Wearing an elegant long dress with layers of silver gauze, and dancing between the arms, it is really like a flying fairy descending from the murals, pure and pure, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

"They are witches from Xixianyuan." Feng Zhangjun said the answer.

Lian Zhu Xian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked at their hands—as expected, all of them were wearing exquisite silver finger cots, and the missing half of the little finger must be hidden under the finger cots.

He suddenly felt that this piece of elegant whiteness became a little glaring.

"Why did Xixianyuan in the Central Plains come all the way to the Five Immortals Valley in Nanzhao?"

"Because they are the messengers of heaven." Feng Zhangjun's answer was very mysterious, "Whether the Five Immortals Sect or the Yuncang Sect, as long as they have the same sky above their heads, there will always be a time to welcome the witches of the West Immortal Origin. More precisely
