This Venerable One Really Didn't Abandon My Familiar

The content of the Xianmeng assessment was finally set as a trial in the secret realm.

The place of trial is a place called Lingxu Cave Array.

The Lingxu Cave Formation is not an ordinary formation.

It is rumored that this place used to be the ruins left by the death of an ancient mythical beast. Over the years, countless fairies, monsters and ghosts have been attracted to enter it, with extremely strong spiritual power and countless opportunities.And because of the harsh environment and unique caves, it is named Lingxu Cave Array.

The Lingxu Cave Formation was acquired by the Lingxiao Sect hundreds of years ago. This time, it has been transformed by the Six Sects and has become the location for the assessment of the Immortal Alliance.

"Lingxiao Gate?" Feng Ci frowned.

They are now sitting on the flying boat sent by Xianmeng to the Witch Doctor Valley. The flying boat penetrates the clouds and is on the way to Lingxiaomen.

"That's right, it's the Lingxiao Gate." Xiao Guo could roughly guess why Feng Ci reacted like this. He sat on the soft chair in the flying boat, smoked a pipe lazily, and smiled, "Ling Xiao Isn’t Elder Chengchao responsible for Men’s treasonous act? Now that Elder Chengchao is dead, can’t he give him a chance to reform himself?”

Feng Ci looked at him silently.

Sometimes he really didn't know whether what Xiao Guo said was the truth or irony.But Lingxiaomen...Feng Ci can still remember Xuanyangzi's appearance when he dealt with Cheng Chao and the group of arrested rebel disciples in Langfeng City.

From that incident alone, Feng Ci couldn't completely trust Ling Xiaomen.

However, it must be approved by Pei Qianyue to set the content of the assessment as Lingxiaomen's formation.

As far as Feng Ci knew, Pei Qianyue also didn't trust Xuan Yangzi, nor did he trust Ling Xiaomen, he would agree, there must be his own reasons for doing so.

But these can only be confirmed after seeing Pei Qianyue at Lingxiao Gate.

Witch Doctor Gu hardly participated in the disputes among the six sects, and Feng Ci didn't intend to talk to him too much, so he continued to ask him: "After entering the Lingxu Cave Array, how do we test?"

The content of the Xianmeng assessment is still based on the strength of the sect.There are all kinds of treasures, adventures, and opportunities hidden in the secret realm, and similarly, there are also monsters and poisons lurking.Each fairy gate participating in the assessment selects five to ten people to enter the secret realm, kill monsters, snatch treasure opportunities, and score points based on this.

Every twelve o'clock, that is, at noon every day, the total score of the day will be settled in units of sects.The lower half of the sects were directly eliminated and sent away from the secret realm.

Three days later, the Xianmen who still remained in the secret realm passed the examination.

After listening to Feng Ci, he said thoughtfully, "Interesting."

"There are more interesting ones." Xiao Guo smiled and said leisurely, "I heard that this assessment does not limit fighting skills, but the winning or losing of fighting skills does not count."

Feng Ci blinked.

There are no restrictions on fighting skills, and it is closer to the real spirit grabbing in the past.

Before the establishment of the Xianmeng, each party in the cultivation world robbed the spirit veins based on their own abilities.After a fight, there are often countless casualties, and no one can get much good.After the establishment of the Xianmeng, most of the spiritual vein resources were obtained by the Xianmeng, and this primitive means of competition was no longer needed.

And this trial in the secret realm, in the final analysis, is to compete for magic weapons and monsters.If it is not allowed to harm fellow practitioners like other trials, and whoever finds the magic weapon and monsters will belong to them, it is inevitable that some people will gain an advantage through luck instead of strength.

In this way, this rule is actually necessary.

But in this way, the difficulty is also much greater.

Not only have to adapt to the harsh environment in the secret realm, the extremely dangerous monsters, but also beware of others.

Feng Ci figured out what was going on, and nodded, "It's really interesting."

Survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest is indeed the assessment method that Pei Qianyue came up with.

Feng Ci asked again: "How many immortal sects participated this time?"

Xiao Guodao: "There is no preliminary screening for this assessment, and there are more than 120 immortal sects confirmed to participate."

"Well then..."

Half of them will be eliminated every day for a total of three days. In the end, less than twenty immortal sects will be able to successfully join the immortal alliance.

In other words, more than a hundred fairy schools will be put in danger.

How many of them are on that list?

Feng Ci closed his eyes.

If Tiandao was really allowed to slaughter one by one, there would be more than a thousand casualties.

Feng Ci didn't say anything more, and Xiao Guo stopped talking to him.He raised the curtain beside him and looked out, the flying boat was flying over a stretch of mountains.

"The new flying boat from Wanfa Pavilion is really good, even faster than the one in Langfeng City." Xiao Guo was full of interest, "From this point of view, we can reach Lingxiao Gate in an hour."

After hearing the words, Feng Ci followed suit and looked out the window.

This flying boat is indeed not the same as the one in Langfeng City. It is made of roughly the same material, but it looks more delicate from the outside, and it is probably lighter in weight for the sake of flying speed.

The wings on both sides have also been replaced with a new style. When flying between the clouds, it looks like a nimble and brisk bird.

Feng Ci looked at it for a while, and always felt that there was something strange that could not be said.He thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer, so he didn't take it to heart.

Xiao Guo's guess was not completely accurate, before an hour had passed, Feng Ci felt that the flying boat began to descend slowly.

The clouds faded, finally revealing the scenery below.

It was still winter when Fengci retreated, but now it's spring.In the eyes is a vast green hills, the mountains are towering, surrounded by clouds and mist.

Where the flying boat was about to land, on the mountains in the distance, a Taoist temple stood quietly.

Taoist temple.

Feng Ci's expression sank.

He had seen this Taoist temple before.

in a dream.

Thinking about it now, perhaps there is still some kind of connection between Feng Ci's spirit and body, and he only dreamed of his body from time to time before.The few dreams after returning to this world, except for the encounter with the Heavenly Dao in the Imaginary Cauldron, were real dreams entrusted by the Heavenly Dao.

And the other times, it was just his induction with the physical body, allowing him to see what the physical body saw and heard.

This Taoist temple was what he had seen through his physical body before the battle at Zhejian Villa.

It turns out that this is Lingxiao Gate.

"We're getting there." Feng Ci was thinking about it, but Xiao Guo said from the side, "Knowing that the Holy One has left the customs, City Lord Pei must—"

"Guzhu Xiao." Feng Ci interrupted, "I remembered that I still have some things to do, can you let me leave the flying boat first?"

Xiao Guo was taken aback for a moment: "Aren't you going into Lingxiaomen?"

"Not urgent."

"But City Lord Pei..."

"He..." Thinking of Pei Qianyue, Feng Ci felt a little headache.But it is more important to investigate this matter right now, he pressed the center of his eyebrows, and said, "Don't tell him that I am out of customs, turn around..."

"Oh, I understand." Xiao Guo suddenly realized, "The Holy One wants to give him a surprise, right?"

Feng Ci: "..."

Feng Ci: "That's right."

When the flying boat hovered over Lingxiao Gate, it quietly opened a gap, and a sword shadow flashed through the gap, and fell silently into the cloud-shrouded mountains.

Feng Ci showed his figure on the top of a cliff.

Lingxiaomen used to be a Taoist temple, and the contiguous mountain peaks were its boundaries.It was not easy to find the one he had seen in his dream among so many peaks.

Feng Ci raised his eyes to look at the sky.

The Lingxu Cave Array will open on time at noon, less than two hours from now.

Time is running out.

But Feng Ci was not in a hurry.

It was indeed just a coincidence that he interacted with his physical body in his sleep.That's because when people are asleep, there is no other external objects to disturb them, and their perception reaches the peak of extreme purity.

But since he can sense it in his sleep, there's no reason why he can't do it when he's awake.

Feng Ci closed his eyes facing the breeze on the top of the mountain, and his physical perception, which was completely adapted to the power of the soul, became extremely sharp.He could feel every breeze passing through the forest, every leaf falling, and every wisp of incense that was slowly burning in the Taoist temple scattered throughout the mountain.

But these are not enough, the invisible perception continues to expand like a big net.

The undetectable breath in the air, the traces left by people passing by...

Feng Ci opened his eyes, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

Then he turned around and walked in one direction.

Feng Ci walked quickly in the mountains.

It was his first time to come here, but he was familiar with the way when he found it, and he had a well-thought-out plan.After a while, he found the place he was looking for.

This cave is probably the place where Lingxiaomen used to meditate and retreat. The inside is not big, and you can almost see the whole thing at a glance.There is no one in the cave, and there are not many traces of life. Behind the innermost stone bed is a Xuanmen eight trigrams map. Other than that, there are only a table, a chair, and a candle that has long been burned out on the stone table.

This is indeed the cave Feng Ci saw in his dream.

Feng Ci searched around in the cave, but found no clues, so he came out again.

Standing on the cliff in front of this cave and looking into the distance, you can just see the main peak of Lingxiaomen in the distance.

Lingxiaomen is much more ordinary than Fengci imagined.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary Taoist temple. The brick and tile walls can be seen to be old, and there are even some mottled old marks caused by swords or other weapons.

The color of those traces has become very light in the washing of the years, but they are still clear.

There are traces of vicissitudes everywhere.

Feng Ci suddenly remembered that Pei Qianyue once told him that Lingxiaomen is the school with the most lost secret books and classics in the thousands of years of inheritance, and it is also the school that has experienced the most turmoil.

Their incense is not bad, but they are not as prosperous and elegant as the Qingjing sect.

It's more like a declining old man, unwilling to just disappear in the long river of time, so he struggles against fate.

No wonder they are eager to find those lost secret books.

Feng Ci ran this trip, but he didn't find a physical body, and he didn't force it.He walked along the mountain path towards the main hall, but before he had gone far, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from ahead.

He turned up the tree quietly and saw several Lingxiaomen disciples.

"You guys go over there, you guys go this way. The formation will be opened soon, and you must patrol carefully without any mistakes, do you hear me?" the young man in Taoist robe ordered.

He brought a few young disciples who were almost the same age as him, and those young disciples saluted and said yes, and left in two groups.

Fengci fell to the ground and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Hello."

The young man was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to pull out the whisk at his waist, but Feng Ci gently pushed it back.

"It's me." Feng Ci said with a smile, "Brother Meng, you don't know me so soon?"

The boy in front of him is none other than Meng Changqing.

Only then did Meng Changqing see clearly who was coming, and said in surprise, "Junior Brother!"

"Why are you here? Did you also come to see the Immortal Alliance assessment? Why didn't you stay with the disciples of Langfeng City? You—"

When he got excited, he spoke a series of words, and Feng Ci got a headache from his arguing, so he quickly stopped him: "It's a long story, speak slowly, speak slowly..."

Only then did Meng Changqing calm down a little.

He glanced at the mountain road behind Fengci, and realized something: "You...you didn't just come down from here, did you?"

Feng Ci didn't hide it: "That's right."

"How did you break into it!" Meng Changqing exclaimed, looked around to see if no one was paying attention, pulled Feng Ci to the side of the road, and asked in a low voice, "Did you meet anyone else?"

"No." Feng Ci asked him, "What's wrong here, can't I go?"

"This is the forbidden area of ​​Lingxiao Gate, of course you can't go there!" Meng Changqing said, "If you come to Lingxiao Gate, don't let me know in advance. If you get lost in the forbidden area, you won't be afraid of being caught as a thief. "

……get lost.

Very good, it's still that brainless Meng Changqing.

Feng Ci didn't explain, and followed his words: "Then trouble Brother Meng to lead the way."

Meng Changqing had no doubts about Feng Ci and led him towards the main hall.

While walking, he chattered with him: "I don't know how many people have lost their way in the past few days, but they just strolled around the main peak of the front mountain. Anyone like you lost their way into the forbidden area."

Feng Ci took the opportunity to ask: "I don't see anything special on that mountain, why is it a forbidden place?"

"Who knows?" Meng Changqing said, "From the time I entered the master's gate, it was a forbidden area. The gate master only said that no one can go to that mountain, but he didn't say why."

Feng Ci: "I see."

There are many passages in the mountains, Meng Changqing walked a secluded path with Fengci, and soon arrived near the main peak.

More than a hundred immortal sects participated in the assessment of the Immortal Alliance. At this moment, the main peak of Qianshan Mountain is already overcrowded.Green pines are planted around the square in front of the main peak, and an open space has been reserved for the high platform in front, where more than a hundred optical mirrors are currently suspended.

Those light mirrors are all off now, but when the magic circle is turned on, the light mirrors will also light up, broadcasting everything that happened inside the magic circle.

"Langfeng City..." Meng Changqing said to himself, "Where are the disciples of Langfeng City arranged? I don't seem to have any memory..."

Here, there is no need for Feng Ci to be with Meng Changqing again.

He was just about to find an excuse to sneak away to find his own little black snake, but suddenly there was some commotion around him.

"They're here!"

Someone yelled into the air, and Feng Ci also looked up, and a flying boat landed not far away.

The flying boat was different from the one he was riding today. It was round in the middle and huge in size. There were familiar totems engraved on the bottom of the flying boat.

It is Langfeng City.

Meng Changqing slapped his forehead: "That's right, Langfeng City never came!"

Feng Ci: "..."

This is a bit embarrassing.

Feng Ci looked away as if nothing had happened, and looked forward.The hatch of the flying boat opened, and a figure in a black robe walked out first.

They haven't seen each other for three months.

It was completely different from the reluctance to give up when he was about to retreat, these three months were actually not as difficult as Feng Ci imagined.During this period of time, he has been practicing quietly, and he hardly thinks about this person, let alone has no time to think about him.

He didn't even think he had any thoughts.

Until then, until we met.

Pei Qianyue had already changed back into the costume of the Lord of Langfeng, with black silk covering his eyes, and his handsome face was as cold as ice.Every step he took was very gentle, and wherever he went, everyone retreated and saluted.

This was completely different from Pei Qianyue in front of Feng Ci, but Feng Ci's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

The heart that had not experienced waves for thousands of years suddenly couldn't stop beating at this moment.

Again and again, beating the chest cavity, as if even the temperature of the surrounding is rising accordingly.

I really miss him.

It's a pity that there are too many people here.

Feng Ci thought in his heart.

Otherwise, he would definitely grab someone and give him a good kiss.

Miss him so much.

Meng Changqing seemed to say something beside Feng Ci, but he didn't pay attention at all.From the moment Pei Qianyue appeared, he was full of heart and eyes, and he could only accommodate this one person.

There was a gentle expression in Feng Ci's eyes that even he didn't notice, and the corners of his lips were raised unconsciously.

He lightly rubbed his finger on the root of his ring finger, and the vibration of the red line was transmitted to Pei Qianyue's hand, who paused slightly.

The smile in Feng Ci's eyes deepened.

He hid his aura in the crowd, Pei Qianyue couldn't see, so he might not be able to perceive him.

But this way, he would know where he was.

Sure enough, Pei Qianyue turned around and walked in the direction of Fengci.Feng Ci was about to step forward, but the latter passed in front of him without even turning his head.

It was as if he hadn't seen him at all.

The moment he passed by, Feng Ci even heard a cold "hum" through the red line.

Feng Ci: "..."

Are you childish? ! !
