our mountain

The psychic shuttle from Xiuzhen Academy to Green Bamboo City passed through the towering training tower of the academy, and a flock of gray-white birds flew past the top of the tower.

Because of the frequent occurrence of major events recently, there were not many journalists on the new shuttle bus line. Only one reporter stared out the window after recording some information symbolically—people who are used to taking shuttle cars have no novelty about the high-altitude scenery. Without exception, there are big leaden gray clouds and pale green skies, which can be seen by mortal planes.

Because it was the first bus, there weren't too many passengers, except for the crew on the bus, there was only the reporter, a student from the Xiuzhen Academy whose hometown was in Qingzhu City, and me and Tang Yi.

I noticed that the boy didn't seem to follow Tang Yi very much. I wanted to ask, but it seemed inappropriate and we didn't know each other well.

In the end, when I got out of the car, Tang Yi gave me the luggage and said it would be delivered here, so I glanced behind her: "Where's that boy?"

Tang Yi lowered his eyes: "It's a serious injury, and I haven't woken up yet."

"Didn't your father send someone to protect you?"

"Haha."

She didn't answer, and I didn't really care about it, but the little guilt I felt after knowing it made me want to ask a few more questions, or apologize?If you can't say it, just give up.

The news of Master's demise was known to all three of us.

The senior sister is still copying the materials, but the news that pops up from her personal terminal still blocks her eyes. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.The senior sister stood in the cave for a long time without saying a word, and the sword spirit was nervous as if the senior sister was about to go out to kill someone: "Calm down."

My senior sister is a keeper of the commandments, she is very obedient if asked to obey, now no one gives her orders to make her obedient, she doesn't know what to listen to, her heart is a little empty, she sat in the cave for a long time without speaking.It was said in the news that the murderer was the demon fox, and the senior sister was a little confused. She didn't get angry like me and threw shit around. After careful consideration, the only thing she thought of with me was to find the demon fox, but Liuyun Qianlitu was still on our mountain. So she went back to the mountain.

She found her brother in the rice barn, and he fell asleep on the floor with a full stomach, as if he was about to die there.

Then I followed the sound of water in the back mountain to find me. I poured water to water the trees, and used some things I was used to to relieve the severe headache. The senior sister followed the senior brother ten or so steps behind him. .

And the senior sister turned the hilt upside down and approached coldly, her expression was not too sad, and her eyes didn't look resentful, just like the senior sister I had seen before, she didn't have any emotions and desires, just like a fairy.

"Senior sister, you are back." I took out the jade slip, looked at my senior brother, and announced the master's will.

The master’s cave and things related to cultivation are left to the senior sister. I took out the Qiankun ring and the black card, and the master’s broken sword was also displayed in front of the senior sister’s feet. The senior sister lifted her Taoist robe and knelt on the ground, holding my hand: "I heard that you are causing trouble in Danyang City."

There were indeed quite a few people at the scene where I stabbed Tang Yi, and it is not impossible to accidentally get on the news. I have no temper, so I nodded and waited for my senior sister to deal with me.

Tang Yi reprimanded me, I snorted a few times and ignored it, but my senior sister was different, even if she wanted to hang me from a tree and beat me, I couldn't say anything, since the master is gone, I have to listen to her.

"Did they hurt you?"

"No."

"it is good."

The senior sister's expression relaxed a little, and only then did I realize that what my senior sister meant was that if I caused trouble and they were rough on me, the senior sister would vent her anger on me.

I really wanted to cry with my senior sister and tell her that I was Ling Xiao, but I didn't after all. If the master died and I still look like a child who can't grow up, it would be too disappointing.

Then I announced that Fengyin Mountain and the surrounding land that belonged to Fengyin Mountain's ancestors from generation to generation would be given to him, and all the fruit trees that had been coveted by him for a long time would be given to him.Obedience is still far away, not close to me, his face is very funny when he is sad, eyebrows are not eyebrows, nose is not nose: "What did Master leave for you?"

Master said she gave me everything, what was left for me, I couldn't figure it out, so I simply shook my head: "I don't know."

Cong Ming was going to say something, but when the senior sister spoke, he silently shut up.

"Master is unfair, we don't follow this."

The senior sister took the jade slip and put it in the Qiankun ring. She thought I was too unfavorable, and the master would not leave me anything, so she said that the master was unfair. Then she gently picked up the Qiankun ring and put it on her hand, silently sweeping Scan the contents.

"There are some spar raw ore, some psychic nutrient solution, and the key to the cave..."

Senior sister examines the value of all the items in it, and it is indeed only useful for cultivation.

So he handed me the black card that belonged to Master.

"Obey, come here and sit here."

We sat on the ground, and the air looked down on us, and it was like we were having a picnic in the woods, with odds and ends in front of us.The senior sister is actually not much older than us. She is [-] years old this year, and I will be [-] this year, and I will be sixteen in a few days. It seems to be arranged in a trapezoidal order. The senior sister can announce her decision to us by relying on just a few years older: "We don't separate families, and I don't distribute these things, but the procedural things have to go. Obedience, you go to the headquarters of the Knights Alliance to register the land ownership in the next two days, and I will register the business license of the Fengyinshan Xiuxian Sect, otherwise there will be no owner. It is easy for people to take advantage of the loopholes to covet. Regarding the matter of the demon fox and the master going to the Danyang faction, I will tell you the story later, Kuai, I will adjust the intensity of the mountain protection formation to the highest—"

The senior sister paused here, then looked at Cong Ming: "What do you mean?"

"I want to stay on the mountain. I'll listen to you for the rest."

In fact, this is a good opportunity to show courtesy to the senior sister, but the senior brother is not obsessed with lust and forgets who he is. At this moment, he is sad and dignified. We all look at the arrangement of the senior sister. We don’t know why the master died. We don’t know. Where to go next.

"Then you and Ku'e stay on the mountain, and I'll go to Master Cangyun."

The senior sister explained everything that happened that day to the eagle demon and the demon fox in the shopping mall, why the senior sister brought the fox back, and what tasks the master arranged for her and me.

I listened carefully, and the senior sister also spoke very carefully. I hugged my knees and said nothing.

After the senior sister finished speaking, I expressed my opinion unhappily: "Could it be that some of the conservatives have turned to the reformers long ago, and took this opportunity to directly get rid of the stubborn conservatives, and then the reformers who turned back turned to the reformers?" Killed by the people who followed... Then the multi-infant and Jindan will not die easily, unless the strength is weakened in this way. The first time the eagle demon was caught alive, I don't believe that there are so many reformers There is no one who can't be tortured, I suspect that they are all in the same group, raising bandits to respect themselves..."

"What you said is not unreasonable, but this is speculation, and you have no evidence. Like you, I want to immediately find an enemy that is visible to the naked eye and then work hard to live with the goal of revenge, but sometimes you really don't know what your enemy is .”

The senior sister held my shoulder, and I lay down on the senior sister's body, obediently or considerately, the senior sister's thigh would be numb by me, picked me up and put me on him, and touched my head again and again, as if touching the knees kitten.

"Master has fallen and we still have to live as usual. These relics of Master..." Senior Sister also didn't know what to do with it. We don't have any tombstones or other things to pay tribute to in the cultivation world, because there will be no ashes left after the death of a monk.When we commemorate our ancestors, we look at the stars above our heads and look down at the ground under our feet. When the monk dies, the spiritual energy dissipates in the air, and with the monk's swallowing and breathing, it will glow with new life. Tombs and inscriptions are meaningless. Some sects have In the mourning halls of some ancestors, there are books and jade slips recording the deeds of the ancestors. We only have the wills that we do not obey, and we have no way to commemorate them.

In the end, we still erected a clothes tomb and placed it on the back mountain, where the broken sword, the fragments that were already indistinguishable, and the blood-colored sheets were buried.

Fengyin fruit sang melodiously when we were holding the box. At that time, I remembered the way Master picked the fruit skillfully when he came to see me-after death, the living will involuntarily recall her infinite kindness, Those harshness and indifference were symbolically ignored. After Master's death, her image in our minds has changed.

I've been wondering if the master already knew her ending, so she separated the family early, so she suddenly became kind to me and my senior sister... There is no solution to all of this.

If that person hadn't interrupted my memory, I would have completely become Ling Xiao, would I be able to get a glimpse of the truth?

The senior sister asked me to stay on the mountain and everything was as usual. I planted trees, picked fruits, watered flowers and made wine, the same as when the master was there, because the master didn't pay much attention to me...but I always feel that I can't go back, the height is too cold There will be no one in the cave on that cliff to stare at us coldly.

The senior sister and the senior brother completed all the formalities, the senior brother returned to the mountain, and the senior sister turned back to the cave of Master Cangyun.

After a few people were fooled from Cang Yun's cave last time, the Knights Alliance sent a powerful boss to find Cang Yun, but Cang Yun said that he didn't see him in seclusion, and no one came after that. Excuse me, it's good to have a high seniority.

When the senior sister went, the boulder was slowly pulled away, and Daoist Cangyun was waiting for her.

"I've heard about mystical arts, you came to take away the demon fox?" Master Cang Yun looked at the senior sister from head to toe.

The senior sister changed her attire, unlike her usual fairy-tale appearance.The senior sister is carrying the picture of Liu Yunqianli, her hair is scattered on her shoulders and gently gathered to one side. She rarely does not tie her hair up like an old lady who has been abstinent for thousands of years. Her loose hair makes people think that she is actually too young. No matter how you clean up your youthful face, it won't look ugly, not to mention that the senior sister is really beautiful.The senior sister was wearing a loose wool cardigan, a pair of smoke gray pants, and white sneakers that only high school students would like.The only thing that makes her a monk is that she carries a sword.

Putting the sword on the ground, the senior sister knelt down and saluted: "My lord, this junior came to ask Yaohu something."

"Ask if it has murder mystery?" Master Cangyun's voice was not teasing but serious, and the senior sister hummed.

"You are wrong, keep the precepts, it has been staying here, and it can't use any demon power. If it planned in advance, how would it know the time and place when Xuanshu will meet those guys?"

The senior sister kowtowed: "The eagle demon's feathers were found at the scene, and this junior guesses that maybe the demon fox knows other plans of the demon clan."

"Have you seen that hair in person? Even if you saw it, what if it wasn't the hair left at the scene?"

"What does the real person mean?"

"I mean, the enemy is not just the monster race."

"Please tell the real person!" The senior sister's voice was a little louder. The few education she had received since she was a child told her that humans and demons are not compatible, and who else could do such a horrific thing, let alone demons. There is evidence.

"I don't know, I'm just telling you that human beings are divided into monks and mortals, monks are divided into conservatives and reformers, and mortals are also divided into rich and poor. How can you confirm that the monster race is monolithic? The demon fox raised his arms and shouted. , all the monster races will follow it without any grievances?"

The senior sister kowtowed deeply: "Your junior understands. So what should the fox do now? Master once said that she gave me the signal, and I would come and take the fox away, but now... this junior doesn't know what to do, so please give me advice."

"It's not a long-term solution for the demon fox to stay with me. The guy from the Knights Alliance came back, which made me almost unable to deal with it...Since you have a magic weapon, take the fox away, and now the conservatives have almost collapsed. It is imperative, why don't you take it directly to the Cultivation Academy to deal with it, now you can also represent Fengyinshan, there is no harm in a showdown. I don't need me to teach you what lies to tell? You have a serious face, but Xuan A direct disciple of the art!"

The senior sister was not happy because she was said to be the master's direct disciple, but worried because of Master Cangyun's decision.It's true that she brought a divine weapon, but now her strength is limited... Showdown, go to the Academy of Comprehension?Or... committee?

The demon fox was still hanging there, and the master hit hard. The demon fox whose pipa bone was nailed was dying, and there was a pool of dark blood under its feet, which had already dried up, and there was still fresh blood falling slowly, one drop after another. The sound seemed to echo in the cave , creepy.

"I'll put her down, you get ready."

Master Cang Yun shook the dust, and the demon fox seemed to be taken off the wall like an old New Year painting, as if it had been crumpled, and its withered body trembled slightly.

The senior sister should have just unfolded the scroll and taken her in.

However, she turned into a little fox with withered fur in front of her feet. The fur was clotted with blood, and both eyes were covered with blood. The senior sister almost forgot which eye she stabbed. It can be seen that the left eye is gray and covered with a layer of dirty gray - all four paws are curled up vigorously, but they are trembling, and the tail is lying limply on the ground, as withered as a bundle of firewood.

Like an abandoned puppy crushed and flattened by a car on the side of the road.

Such a monster... Senior Sister couldn't associate this small ball with a monster, and she couldn't think of the lying and powerful demon fox Xiyi who would hang on her at any time.

In fact, my senior sister is not a soft-hearted person, but the moment before she unfolded the painting, the fox struggled and transformed into a human form.

He raised his arms and got up tremblingly, standing in front of the senior sister.

The senior sister was surprised that she could still stand up.

Then Xiyi's legs gave way and he fell headlong.

Cang Yun said with a smile: "If you hadn't severely injured the demon fox with your sword and restrained it, even if it was a profound art, it would take some effort to deal with such a highly skilled demon fox... Look at how it looks now, I'm afraid it hates you so much , why don’t you quickly unfold the artifact?”

The senior sister's hand that was holding the Flowing Cloud Thousand Miles Map was suddenly grabbed.

Xi Yi grabbed her wrist with all her strength, but only made a bloody handprint, then she staggered and stood up straight, smiling at her senior sister: "I want to drink soda."

The senior sister unfolded the divine map, and Xi Yi was swallowed.After closing the picture scroll, the senior sister carried it behind her back, bowed deeply to Master Cangyun, and left.

After leaving the cave, she went to the nearest city to settle down and prepare to go back. The senior sister brewed up the lie, and the calculation power in her mind soared to verify how long her lie could last and what consequences it would bring.

She never thought that she would be so serious about fabricating a lie, which is against her heart, but she can't tell the truth, the fall of the master is like a stone on her heart, and the conservatives have completely lost power, so she can tell the truth and be conservative Pai was worried that the reformists would do something bad, but what about Feng Yinshan after that?

Tang Yi had already sent out a proposal to all Huaxia stars to jointly find the demon fox in the live broadcast, and released a huge photo of the demon fox. Everyone knew the appearance of the crimson nine-tailed fox that broke out in the mall.

Senior sister sits in the dessert shop of the shuttle bus transportation hub with her hands crossed

, and then feebly buried his face in his palm.

My senior sister can't show the slightest weakness in front of my senior brother and me. Although my senior sister has a solid and self-reliant heart, she is still a person who needs Master's comfort.

Just a person.

She never thought that the fall of her master, who seldom paid attention to her, would affect her so much.

"Excuse me, are you... fellow Taoist? Ah, I finally found you. We are members of the Special Operations Committee of the Knights' Alliance to Eliminate Demons. We are directly dispatched by the chairman. Please go to the Trial Tower of the Cultivation Academy to discuss matters."

Several monks walking together saw her and came forward to ask her a question, the senior sister thought, she still came.

And the lies she fabricated were calculated and full of loopholes, it was really...unspeakable.

"Understood, but I have to go back to the mountain to visit my junior sister first. The junior sister's terminal is broken and I can't get in touch. I'm afraid that my junior sister and junior sister will be worried."

Sister, this is actually an excuse, but it's not a lie. My terminal is indeed broken, and we are really worried if she doesn't come back.

Now we are hugging the three little beasts for warmth in the nest, huddling together hard, taking each other very seriously, and worrying about gains and losses.

"Okay, please come to the Cultivation Academy before February 2."

Those monks put down a jade slip, which was a compulsory dispatch order of the Knights Alliance, which is generally not used on ordinary monks, and is thrown to the sect masters who do not cooperate.

The monks saluted the senior sister.

Now the Knights Alliance acquiesces that the Lord of Fengyin Mountain is abiding by commandments, so this serious dispatch order was issued.She had to go, otherwise she would make Fengyinshan an enemy of the entire cultivation world.

"Understood." The senior sister put away the jade slip and returned a salute.
