wind and snow

"Master! Wake up!"

"Master, what's wrong with you! Wake up!"

Ji Xian was awakened by a stabbing pain in his chest. He just opened his eyes when he saw the anxious and panicked face of his apprentice.

Seeing that Ji Xian finally woke up, An He breathed a sigh of relief, but then returned to his previous dignified appearance, and asked worriedly: "Master, you finally woke up, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Xian was lying on the bed sweating profusely just now, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and his body was trembling uncontrollably, which scared An He a lot.

Ever since An He became a teacher, Ji Xian has always been a lofty immortal in his eyes, omniscient and omnipotent.And although Ji Xian has always been very gentle to An He and rarely puts on airs of being a strict teacher, in An He's heart, Ji Xian is still like the purest and noble snow lotus on the ice field, sacred and inviolable, and at the same time out of reach.

Today was the first time An He saw his master so vulnerable, so he was at a loss for a while.

"It's okay to be a teacher." After Ji Xian came to his senses, he sat up, looked at his little apprentice who had always loved him so much, and purposefully put on a serious face and said coldly: "Besides, I didn't warn you as a teacher, no Are you allowed to enter the teacher's room casually?"

"I'm sorry, Master, I... I won't..." An He lowered his head humbly, and explained a little nervously: "But Master, today is the wedding banquet of the seventh prince of the Feng clan. Things...don't waste the time..."

Hearing this, Ji Xian pondered for a moment, then waved his hands wearily: "I have my own discretion in this matter, you go down first."

"Yes." An He replied while retreating, but when he reached the door, he couldn't help but paused, looked up at Ji Xian, hesitant to speak, and said, "Master, are you really okay...? I see Could it be that your reaction just now was a nightmare...?"

Ji Xian looked at his little apprentice whose face was full of fear and uneasiness, his heart softened for some reason, he smiled, and comforted him: "Although my teacher is just a low-status Sanxian, there are hundreds of thousands of years at least. With such a cultivation base, how could he be haunted by nightmares?"

"You go down."

Hearing this, An He was stunned at the door of the room, thinking with some doubts: Yes, do gods also have nightmares?

Forget it and leave it alone, if the master says no, then it won’t.Maybe he will know the answer to these messy things when he attains enlightenment and immortality in the future.

Ji Xian looked at his little apprentice's dazed and dull face, with a faint smile on his face all the time, but as soon as An He closed the door, the smile on Ji Xian's mouth immediately froze.

He inevitably recalled the nightmare he had just had.

For thousands of years, no matter how many nights fell, he would recall the boundless darkness of the endless sea, as if it could swallow people alive.

And that look of pain, despair and resentment, he never forgot.

·

Since the last time he came back from Endless Sea, Ji Xian left the Heaven Realm and lived in Wangyou Valley, and he basically didn't keep in touch with those friends from the Immortal Realm before, even Feng Qi only met later.In the past 1000 years, Ji Xian has not attended any banquets in the fairy world, and tried to avoid meeting his old friends. However, this time for Feng Qi's wedding, he must go.

Wangyou Valley is not too far from Fengqi Mountain. After confirming a few important matters with his apprentice, Ji Xian went to the destination alone.

Today's Fengqi Palace is extremely lively, with people coming and going, lights and festoons, and a festive atmosphere everywhere.However, Feng Qi, who was supposed to be the happiest protagonist today, couldn't see any joy on his face, he just stood at the gate of the palace and received every fairy friend who came to congratulate him, as if he had completed a task.

It wasn't until seeing Ji Xian's figure that Feng Qi showed a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward, trying to restrain the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ji, you are here."

When Ji Xian arrived at Fengqi Palace, he had already changed his outfit and appearance. He had an ordinary appearance and no immortal energy in his body, just like the immortal cultivators that can be seen everywhere in the mortal world, inconspicuous.

Sure enough, when Feng Qi's father saw Ji Xian, he thought it was another poor friend his son had met somewhere, and after a glance, he stopped paying attention, and didn't even bother to entertain him.

However, Feng Qi had seen Ji Xian in this appearance before, so not only did she recognize him, but she also tacitly did not reveal it.

"As soon as I arrived at Fengqi Mountain, I was attracted by the beautiful scenery here. I couldn't hold it back, so I walked around. I'm a little late, but I hope you can forgive me." Ji Xian smiled, and at the same time, he was in his room casually in the future He handed the jade carving to the boy beside him, and said: "Fengqi Mountain is indeed a fairyland on earth. After seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation."

Feng Qi pondered for a moment, then hesitantly said in a low voice: "Then... Brother Ji, have you...found that place?"

"found it."

Hearing this, Feng Qi's expression lit up, he clenched his hands into fists and then immediately released them, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, he just said: "It's getting late, Brother Ji, please sit inside. "

"En." Ji Xian patted Feng Qi's shoulder, and whispered a few words into his ear as he passed by.

"Don't worry, I have everything."

Ji Xian hadn't attended a wedding banquet in the fairy world for a long time, and he was not used to such lively occasions, so he sat down in a corner where there was no one around, raised his glass and sipped a drink, and boredly looked at the fairy friends who passed by in front of him. feel lonely.

However, a moment later, a familiar figure appeared in Ji Xian's field of vision, instantly attracting Ji Xian's full attention.The man was dressed in Tsing Yi, his eyebrows and eyes were as cold as ice, and he walked straight towards Ji Xian as if there was no one else around.

The person who came was none other than his good friend in the heaven, Mr. Li Chen Xing.

Ji Xian was startled, afraid that the other party would recognize him, so he quickly raised his wine glass and lowered his head slightly, pretending to be tasting the wine carefully.

Soon Ji Xian realized that he was thinking too much. Mr. Li Chen Xing was still the same as before, he liked to be alone, he didn't pay special attention to anyone at all, he just glanced at Ji Xian inadvertently, his eyes were cold and alienated .

Ji Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped looking around, trying to minimize his presence.Most of the immortals who came to the wedding banquet today are famous figures in the heavens. In this way, no one will notice him as a nobody.

After a while, the auspicious time will come, and a new couple will enter the arena.Ji Xian also cheered up, wanting to see how the Feng Clan's wedding is different from the human world.

However, at this moment, the entire Fengqi Palace suddenly shook violently!But in an instant, all the decorations in the hall, the wine cups and fresh fruits on the table all fell to the ground, and the shards of fine wine flew everywhere...

Several immortals were going to use spells to forcibly stop the shaking of the house, but they were surprised to find that it didn't work at all, at most they could only maintain their own balance.

There was a sudden chaos in the hall.

This is... an earthquake?

Ji Xian is very puzzled, Fengqi Mountain is a fairy mountain in the world, nothing has happened for thousands of years, what kind of evil is this happening today?Or is that a fellow immortal monarch who insists on going against the Feng Clan, so he intentionally did this on Feng Qi's wedding day?

But anyway, it really did him a favor!

While everyone in the house was still in chaos, Ji Xian directly used magic to leave Fengqi Palace, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of an inconspicuous cave on Fengqi Mountain.This cave seems inconspicuous, but its location is extremely hidden. After Ji Xian arrived at Fengqi Mountain this morning, he spent a lot of time finding this place.

This cave is not the Heavenly Prison of the Feng Clan, but a mortal, Feng Qi's sweetheart, Miss Liu Xiyue, was imprisoned inside.

Two days ago, when Feng Qi approached Ji Xian and asked him to help save someone, Ji Xian agreed without thinking too much. Since she is Feng Qi's lover, he can be regarded as his friend. People must be saved... at most, Offending the leader of the Feng Clan is nothing more than offending the Emperor of Heaven, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Today, when Feng Qi got married, most of the guards of the Feng clan were transferred to Fengqi Palace, and here was no exception, only four guards were left in the cave.Ji Xian originally planned to do it later, but the strange earthquake just now created a good opportunity for him, so he took advantage of the chaos and came over.

Ji Xian sneaked into the cave, and soon saw two Feng clan guards. Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Ji Xian threw the jade flute hanging from his waist, knocking them unconscious to the ground.

After hearing the movement, the other two guards immediately raised their vigilance, grabbed their weapons, and shouted: "Who?"

Ji Xian was unmoved in the slightest, and continued to move forward with a calm face, while Yuxiao floating in the air seemed to have self-awareness, and flew to the depths of the cave by itself, knocking out the remaining two guards in the blink of an eye. land, and then flew back to Ji Xian.

This cave is not too deep, after walking about ten steps, Ji Xian saw the stone house at the end of the cave, where Liu Xiyue was imprisoned.

There were a lot of gravel in the stone house, presumably it was caused by the earthquake just now, but fortunately Liu Xiyue was not injured, but her condition looked very bad, her face was pale, and her body was frighteningly thin. There is still half a minute of Ji Xian's bright and charming appearance when he first met her.

"Master Ji?" Liu Xiyue had already heard the movement in the cave, she got up and stood in front of the stone bed, waiting to see with a nervous heart, but she didn't expect that the person who rescued her would be Ji Xian.After seeing the person coming, the light in Liu Xiyue's eyes suddenly dimmed, and there was a bit of unspeakable disappointment in her tone.

However, Ji Xian didn't care about the loss of the other party, he stopped suddenly, looking at the air in front of him thoughtfully.Then Ji Xian stretched out his hand and touched it tentatively. Sure enough, there was a faint sound in the air, and a fiery red transparent barrier wall slowly emerged where Ji Xian's fingertips touched.

Ji Xian closed his eyes, and slowly put his palm on the barrier, his palm exuded a dazzling white light.

Liu Xiyue stood there blankly, looking at the scene in front of her, she was a little lost in thought for a while, so she didn't notice at all that while casting the spell, there was an imperceptible pain in Ji Xian's brows and eyes.

After a while, the restriction here was broken by Ji Xian. He walked towards Liu Xiyue and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."

Liu Xiyue came back to her senses and asked, "Where's Feng Qi? Why isn't he with you?"

"I'll explain later when the restriction is removed, and the people of the Feng Clan will soon know that you have been rescued." After speaking, Ji Xian grabbed Liu Xiyue's arm and led her out.

Soon, Ji Xian brought Liu Xiyue to an unnamed hill outside Fengqi Mountain. As soon as the two stabilized their bodies after landing, Ji Xian found that his little apprentice was already waiting here.

Seeing An He's young and immature face, Ji Xian couldn't help showing a gratified smile. He was afraid that he had rescued the person in advance and no one would respond. Fortunately, An He is young, but his work is still reassuring.

"An He, take Miss Liu back to Wangyou Valley, be careful along the way."

An He asked worriedly, "Master, aren't you going back?"

Liu Xiyue also asked at the same time: "What about you?"

Ji Xian said: "I have to go back to Fengqi Palace."

Hearing this, Liu Xiyue hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "I'll go with you!"

Ji Xian has always had a good temper and is very talkative, but at certain times, he is also very strong.After hearing Liu Xiyue's words, he didn't even look at the other party, but softly told his apprentice: "Anhe, Miss Liu will be left to you, take good care of her." After finishing speaking, he ignored the two. People, cast spells directly to Fengqi Palace.

Although the earthquake just now didn't last for a long time, and it shouldn't cause much damage, but for some reason, Ji Xian always had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. Do not go.

This is so weird...

As a result, when Ji Xian arrived at Fengqi Palace, he immediately discovered an even stranger thing—the Fengqi Palace, which was extremely lively just now, was now completely empty, leaving nothing but a mess on the ground.

All the fairy friends who came to the wedding banquet left, not to mention Feng Qi and his father, the emperor were nowhere to be seen, leaving only a group of maids and servants to clean up the mess in the hall.

Ji Xian stood blankly at the entrance of the main hall, puzzled. It took only half a stick of incense at most from his departure to his return. What happened in this short period of half a stick of incense?Even if the wedding banquet is ruined, you don't have to leave in such a hurry, right?

Ji Xian was about to ask a maid to ask about the situation, when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"The Heavenly Emperor sent an urgent call just now, and now all the immortals have rushed to Lingxiao Palace."

Li Chen Xingjun.

Hearing the sound, Ji Xian's heart trembled, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his face, wanting to confirm whether he had a phantom.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Li Chen Xingjun continued: "Don't pretend, I know it's you, Xianyun Zhenjun."

Ji Xian was silent for a moment, then turned around, trying to pull a smile, "Li Chen Xingjun..."

Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted coldly by Li Chen: "There is no need to say more for greetings, I stay here just to confirm one thing with you." Cast a spell at will.

Although the place where the two were standing didn't seem to have changed, Ji Xian knew that an invisible barrier had formed around them, and the conversation inside the barrier would not be heard by anyone.

Ji Xian gave a wry smile, silently waiting for the other party's next words.

Li Chen Xingjun looked at Ji Xian quietly, his black pupils were bottomless, but his eyes were so sharp that he could see through people at a glance.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and asked word by word: "Back then in the Endless Sea... Did Xiao Qi not die at all?"
