[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

The water dripped, fell from the stalactites on the top of the cave, and fell into the pool of water that had been deposited for an unknown number of years, causing crisp echoes, and the dark light spread out along the ripples, gradually disappearing into the quiet darkness.Suddenly, a burst of blue light shines brightly in the cave, and the black shadows cast by the stalagmites on the edge of the pool shine through the water, swaying non-stop, and become more and more bizarre.

The blue light gradually faded, and two figures appeared.One of the Taoists slowly lowered his whisk, and said to the people beside him: "The elder Shouxin lives here. Ziyin, that real person has never left since he stepped here. It doesn't matter whether you ignore it... Well, if he doesn't want to agree, don't mind it."

Murong Ziying nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Sect Leader."

Immortal Hansu shook his head, and without speaking, he just put his fly whisk on his arm, and took the lead to walk into the depths of the cave.

The inside of Tianyong City Mountain is deep and dark, and there are countless caves, large and small, with twists and turns, interlocking, and if there is any accident, you will fall into a certain cave and lose your way. Familiar, with light footsteps, turning left and right, sometimes there is no way in front of him, he will open a secret door to show the way out with a single push or press in the dark place of the stone wall, but it will lead Murong Ziying to a place in a short time. In the big cave.

This stone cave is several times larger than the previous ones, the top of the cave is densely packed with stalactites, the ground is like a forest of stalagmites, and thousands of carnations taller than human heads are spread out, like a natural barrier.Murong Ziying and Immortal Hansu walked slowly through the stalagmites, and when they passed a stone forest, they suddenly felt a light shining in front of them.Murong Ziying raised her head and looked through the interlaced gaps of the stalagmites, and saw the source of the light directly in front of her. She could vaguely see something hanging in the air, and the scorching brilliance burst forth vigorously in all directions, as bright as a circle born in a cave. sun.

The more you move forward, the more majestic the aura.Murong Ziying secretly admired that Tianyong City is located at the peak of the purest qi between heaven and earth, and the aura is less than one-tenth of it here. If you practice here, it will be many times faster than in the outside world.While exhaling the spiritual energy here, he looked at Master Hansu, and saw Master Hansu staring at the huge monster in the bright light in the sky, his eyes naturally revealed a sense of arrogance, and said slowly: "Zi Yin, that It is the key to supporting our faction not to fall." Only then did Murong Ziying realize that the suspended object was the core of the formation, only to hear Master Hansu say again, "There is a high platform under the core runestone, Elder Shouxin You must practice there, so let's go there."

The two of them walked out of the stone forest, and they saw an open space under the runestones. On the ground there was a bronze platform, which was more than ten feet high, standing out from the crowd among the stalagmites. And long.Immortal Han Su came to the audience and said loudly: "Young Han Su, I have something important to see the Immortal." His words were filled with real strength, and immediately spread far away, faintly echoing in the cave.

Murong Ziying saw that he claimed to be a junior in his words, and his attitude was cautious, and she was slightly surprised.With the position of Daoist Hansu, even a disciple whose seniority is higher than his in the sect should respect him as the leader of the sect, why does Daoist Hansu lower his status and respect him so much?

Just as he was thinking, he heard a low rumble coming from above his head, and when he looked up, he saw a square black shadow pressing down on the two of them.Murong Ziying took a closer look, it turned out that a bronze plate was slowly floating towards the two of them, it stopped only three feet away from the ground.The bronze plate is five feet square and about three inches thick. There is a thick layer of rust on the plate. There is a faint golden light in the center of the rust, which vaguely looks like a rune.

Immortal Han Su flipped up his Taoist robe, stepped onto the bronze plate, turned around and waved gently to Murong Ziying.Murong Ziying understood, she jumped to land beside him lightly with her toes.When he stood still, the bronze plate shook slightly, and then slowly drifted towards the way it came from.

The bronze plate carried the two of them floating for less than half a stick of incense, then reached the top, and stopped slowly on the side of the high platform.The two of them went down to the high platform, Murong Ziying wandered around and saw that although the bronze platform was extremely tall, the top was quite narrow and empty, there was only a purple man with white hair and snow beard sitting in the center of the platform. The old man in robes, with bare feet and eyes closed, does not know whether he is dreaming or waking up.

Murong Ziying thought to herself, this is Elder Shouxin.

Immortal Han Su wore a full robe, stepped forward to bow to the old man, and said respectfully, "Han Su and Zi Yin, the sword-wielding elder of our sect, have seen Immortal Yuzhao."

Daoist Yuzhao didn't open his eyes, and he didn't hear what he said, as if he was asleep. After a long while, he suddenly spoke, with a bit of displeasure in his cold voice: "This is the forbidden area of ​​Tianyong City. People who are idle outside are not allowed to step in. Hansu, as the head of the sect, you are not young now, why are you still so unruly?"

Murong Ziying secretly wondered, no matter how senior this real Yuzhao is, after all, he is only an elder and under the head of the sect, why he has no respect for the real Hansu, but directly denounces him, which is extremely unreasonable .

Hansu Daoist is very self-restraint, he didn't show embarrassment or anger at all, he only glanced at Murong Ziying, still respectfully said: "Han Su brought Ziyin to see Daoist, please forgive me." He described the fact that Shen Bailing's soul was incomplete and urgently needed treatment, and said, "Hansu knew that he was incompetent and incompetent, and his knowledge was shallow, and he deeply felt Ziyin's desire to save his friends, so he broke the precept and brought him to see the real person, Yuzhao the real person If you know the way to rescue, please let us know, Ziyin and I are very grateful."

Murong Ziying also paid attention to the real Yuzhao, her eyes full of expectation.

Unexpectedly, the old man with white hair was silent for a long time, and after a while he said coldly: "I thought something important happened, but it turned out that it was just for an insignificant outsider! Tianyong City has gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers since its founding. You are still coveted by evildoers, as the leader of a faction, you don’t care about our faction all the time, but work hard for trivial matters, so how can you be worthy of the previous leader?” Master Hansu sighed slightly, and was about to persuade him, but Master Yuzhao The eviction order has been issued, "you go, I don't see outsiders, and I don't care about these trivial matters."

Murong Ziying was listening silently at the side, at this moment she finally couldn't hold back, she frowned and said: "My dear friend may be an insignificant outsider to Elder Shouxin, but to me he is very important. Ziyin Just one question, if the person who is incomplete and in danger at this time is the elder's dearest relative, is the elder also so unreasonable?"

This question is really impolite, but Murong Ziying's heart is for Shen Bailing's life, and finally there is a glimmer of hope, but the real Yuzhao refuses to help at all, how can he not be angry and anxious, although he feels a little bit after blurting out this sentence Regret, but the face is still firm.Seeing it from the side, Master Han Su shook his head and sighed.

It seemed that Master Yuzhao hadn't been confronted face to face for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes in a daze, and shot towards Murong Ziying like lightning like swords.Murong Ziying was stunned when she saw his eyes suddenly, she thought to herself: Why are the eyes of this real Yuzhao so familiar, where did she seem to have seen them?

Only the real Yuzhao replied coldly: "I, Yuzhao, have lived for 480 years, and my loved ones have long since died. How can I say that it is at stake? Besides, people who practice Taoism should abandon mundane thoughts and human feelings. In the back of my head, I heard Han Su say that you have also cultivated into a fairy body, why don't you understand this truth?"

Murong Ziying was taken aback, she didn't expect that the real Yuzhao was also a loose immortal, even decades older than herself.He immediately understood why Master Hansu tolerated him so much. This person has the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, but he is willing to remain unknown, and even self-imprisoned in Tianyong City for the rest of his life, just to protect a runestone. The sacrifice is not insignificant. Even if he has a cold and eccentric personality, he deserves to be treated respectfully by previous leaders.

Thinking about this point, Murong Ziying calmed down again, and said: "Reverend Yuzhao doesn't know something. I knew him before I had to see the Dao. It was a friend in need. He was struck by lightning in front of me, but I It cannot be saved, and this matter is still in my heart. Now that we meet again, but he has suffered such a misfortune, no matter what, Zi Yin can't turn a blind eye. Besides, he also fell to this point to save people..." He recalled on the Juan Yuntai At that scene, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, and he slowly told what Shen Bailing had done for Xuan Xiao.

Immortal Han Su praised him greatly after hearing this, nodded and said: "There is a saying in the world that there is a saying of 'putting a knife through the ribs', and Mr. Shen's act of saving his life to save his friends is on top of it. This kind of chivalry, um, is really extraordinary."

Reverend Yuzhao listened indifferently, with a look of disapproval on his face, until he heard what Reverend Hansu said, his eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "...is this person's surname Shen?"

Murong Ziying nodded and said, "Exactly. I don't know why Elder Shouxin asked such a question?"

Master Yuzhao lowered his eyes, his expression was much softer than before, but his tone was still very cold: "It's nothing."

Unexpectedly, this expression fell into Murong Ziying's eyes, but it was like a big clock suddenly rang in his mind.A flash of inspiration flashed in Murong Ziying's mind, and she stared at Daoist Yuzhao in amazement, another face flashed in her mind for a moment, and after comparing the two, the thought that happened to flash in her heart became clearer, and he tried his best not to With a strange look on his face, his heart was already overwhelmed.

The heart-guarding elder in front of him is eight or nine points similar to Shen Bailing back then!

When he first saw Yuzhao's eyes, he thought he had seen them before, and now he looked more and more similar, if not for the vastly different aura of the two, he might have recognized him at first sight.This elder Shouxin was extremely strict and indifferent, while Shen Bailing was as gentle as jade. Besides, the real Yuzhao only needed to shave off his long beard, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all very similar to Shen Bailing's.

But...how could there be such a similar person?

Master Hansu didn't know that Murong Ziying's mind had already turned to other things, he only thought that his silence was because he was not good at words, and it was difficult to plead with Master Yuzhao, so he tried to persuade him again.Unexpectedly, the real Yuzhao suddenly became impatient and coldly told them to leave quickly, which made the real Hansu feel helpless.

Murong Ziying came back to her senses, seeing that real person Yuzhao didn't want to eat anything, she simply bid farewell to real person Hansu.On the way back to Lintian Pavilion, Immortal Hansu was quite apologetic, but Murong Ziying didn't take it seriously, and only occasionally glanced at the sword sacrificial platform with a thoughtful look.
