The Path Toward Heaven
Chapter 412
The white soup in the pot was finally boiled dry, and several sections of soft-boiled scallions drooped feebly by the side of the pot, looking like Zhuo Rusui's eyelids.
When Liu Ci left, there was a gust of wind in his sleeves, which blew out the fire at the bottom of the pot, and those green onions didn't have to worry about being burnt.
The fog in the private rooms and restaurants was also cleared away, and the breeze came out through the door and came to the street, dispelling all the clouds and fog.
The cold sunshine fell on Yunji Town, and it was the first time that the chill and loftiness of late autumn were so vividly presented before people's eyes.
The tourists from other places are fine, but the residents of the town are stunned.
The vast majority of them have never seen the picture of the clouds and mist disappearing.
People quickly realized that this must be a great Taoist method by Immortal Master Qingshan, and quickly knelt down on the ground.
...
...
The clouds and mist come from the peaks of the green mountains. It is the natural flow of water vapor between the sky and the earth, and it is also related to the big formation.
The Great Formation of the Castle Peak was opened, the skylight changed slightly, and the color of the mangroves and green forests between the peaks also changed slightly.
The disciples on the banks of the Xijian River and between the peaks looked up at the sky, saw a cloud of swords, knew that it was the master returning from Yunmeng Mountain, and saluted one after another.
The sword cloud did not land on Tianguang Peak, but drifted towards Shenmo Peak which was farther away. Shenmo Peak opened the restraint, and the trees all over the mountain shook slightly, as if welcoming something.
Disciple Qingshan was very surprised, thinking of a possibility, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.
The little uncle is back!
In the past, in the hearts of the young disciples of Qingshan, Liangwang Peak was the place that they felt the most proud of and admired, but now this position has been replaced by Shenmo Peak.
Shenmo Peak has Zhao Layue and Gu Qing, who are about the same age as them, and already have a very prosperous reputation, not to mention that Shenmo Peak also has a junior uncle.
Fifteen years have passed since Meihui. Jing Jiu was trapped in the snowfield for six years. Later, in order to break through the barrier of the sword ghost, he sneaked into the Chaoge Town Demon Prison and practiced with the Emperor of the Underworld for three years.
But his name was not forgotten by the disciples of Qingshan, on the contrary, it became even more legendary.
Zhao Layue lost to Zhuo Rusui in the sword test in Qingshan, and in a blink of an eye, my junior uncle won back in Yunmeng Mountain, and even won the first place in the Zhongzhou School!
There was thin snow in the mountains of Shangde Peak, and Junior Sister Yushan sat in the Taoist Hall with several senior brothers on duty, chatting idlely while nibbling pine nuts.
They suddenly heard the movement outside, walked out of the hall, and watched the sword cloud fall on the top of Shenmo Peak, Yushan's face was full of surprise, he stuffed the pine nuts in his hand into the arms of a senior brother next to him, and said, I have to take a step ahead.
Watching her figure quickly turn into a cloud of snow and smoke on the mountain path, the senior brother sighed and said, Little junior sister is always like this... I don't even know which peak she is.
...
...
The sword cloud fell on the top of the peak, dissipated naturally, and turned into countless clouds, which merged with the stratus clouds between the cliffs, and could no longer be distinguished. Qingshan hadn't seen him for several years, and if he was another cultivator, he might feel a little bit emotional. Jing Jiu didn't have these thoughts, but felt that some things had changed.
Looking at the Taoist temple and cave that seemed to be eternal on the top of the peak, and listening to the cries of monkeys from the cliff, he found that he spent less and less time in the green hills in this life, and more and more time walking in the world.
The cheerful cries of the apes on the cliff stopped abruptly, and the sound of rubbing in the woods also suddenly disappeared. They, who were about to come to the peak to welcome Jing Jiu, discovered the existence of Liu Ci, and were afraid to move forward. Gu Qing and Yuan Qu came out of the cave, and before they could salute Jing Jiu, they saw Liu Ci and quickly bowed down. They haven't seen the real person in charge, but when they entered the inner door from the outer door, they saw the portrait in that small building. Which disciple of Qingshan dare not keep that face in his heart?
Liu Ci signaled them to get up, and was about to offer a few words of exhortation.
Gu Qing's reputation is very famous now, and he should be the emperor's teacher in the future. This young man surnamed Yuan from Lelang County also has a background...
Suddenly there was the sound of fallen leaves being trampled on the top of the peak.
The white cat walked out of the hole. Its long fur was brushed clean and smooth. I don't know if it was Yuan Qu's handwriting or Han Chan hiding in its fur.
Lord White Ghost, who guards Qingshan, fell silently with his paws and trampled on the fallen leaves. Naturally, he did it on purpose to remind people to look at me, to look at me.
Liu Ci glanced at it, then looked at Jing Jiu and said, The dignified guard of Qingshan can't keep guarding the gate for you.
Jing Jiu said: Qingshan guards, if you don't come to guard me, who will you guard?
The white cat narrowed its eyes slightly, thinking that you, uncle and nephew, don't continue to pretend that you are not familiar with each other? It was so boring.
Liu Ci didn't know how to answer Jing Jiu's words, and in front of junior disciples like Gu Qing and Yuan Qu, it was inconvenient to use those words back, and left with a wry smile.
While Lu Qing and Yuan Qu were in shock, the white cat had already stepped forward and rubbed Jing Jiu's calf very lingeringly.
Knowing what it meant, Jing Jiu stretched out his index finger with his right hand, and wrote a few lines on a leaf on the ground, then grabbed it from the air, and was about to hand it to the monkey. After thinking for a while, he handed it to Yuan Qu, and said, To Yuan Qijing.
Yuan Qu was a little nervous, looked at Lu Qing's smiling face, and then at Lord White Ghost's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, thinking that there is no need to pretend now?
He left the peak with his sword, and didn't dare to go directly to the destination. Instead, he stopped at the foot of the mountain obediently according to the rules of Shangde Peak, and then walked towards the mountain.
After taking two steps, he saw Junior Sister Yushan rushing down like a snowstorm. He was a little surprised and asked, Where are you going, Junior Sister?
Yu Shan was surprised when he saw it, and said, I'm going to see my uncle, why are you here?
Yuan Qu handed her the leaf in his hand, and said, Bring me a letter there, and put it under the stone where I watched the stars with you that night.
Yushan pouted with shame, and said, I don't care about your relationship with the teacher in the peak, you send it yourself, I'm going to Shenmo Peak.
Yuan Qu sighed and said: Uncle Shi is so lazy, how could he be willing to accept another apprentice? Even if you want to turn to the peak, no one will accept you.
Yushan's face was full of confidence, and he said: It was Uncle Jing who asked me to worship under Shangde Peak in the sword test meeting back then, so he has no reason to ignore me.
Yuan Qu said helplessly: Don't make trouble, at least don't go today, Master Uncle is obviously in a bad mood, he keeps clenching his fists, looking like he wants to hit someone.
Yushan opened his eyes wide, thinking that although his uncle has a cold personality, he never loses his temper with others, what happened?
Yuan Qu said with a bitter face: I don't know, the master is retreating again, who dares to ask?
...
...
While the two childhood sweethearts were making boring guesses at the foot of Shangde Peak, something really important was happening at the top of Shenmo Peak.
Jing Jiu stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the familiar sea of clouds for a while, thinking about what Liu Ci said along the way, he felt a little depressed.
He turned to look at Gu Qing and said, I have something to tell you.
Lu Qing said seriously: Disciple, listen.
From now on, you are going to be the head of the sect. You have to practice Chengtianjian better, and let the others go first.
Jing Jiu said: And your sword is really not good, don't always think about which sword you can follow others, I will change it for you when I find time.
Gu Qing acted cautiously, was calm in situations, and had a peaceful heart, but he was still stupid at this time.
He knew that the master had a very deep background in the green hills and the practice world, but such a thing as being in charge...you said that if you want the disciple to do it, can the disciple do it?
Jing Jiu ignored him, who was a little bit lost, and walked into the cave, and came to the closed stone door.
After Zhao Layue lost to Zhuo Rusui, she has been retreating here.
For many ascetics, retreat is a very sacred thing. When Zhuo Rusui retreated at Tianguang Peak, no one dared to disturb him.
It may be because there were too many retreats back then. Jing Jiu didn't think so, and he once told Zhao Layue and others, so the people on Shenmo Peak would still maintain communication with the outside world during retreat, and even come out to listen to Qingrong Peak opposite when they were bored.
Sensing his presence, the stone door slowly opened, and Zhao Layue walked out with some smoke.
I haven't seen you for several years, but how are you doing?
Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue didn't ask these questions, they just looked at each other.
Zhao Layue thought to herself that Gu Qing said that you have already wandered in the middle of the wild, why are you still carrying the iron sword behind your back?
Jing Jiu found that her initial wandering stage had also been fulfilled, showing signs of breaking through, and she was quite satisfied with it, but she was a little dissatisfied when looking at her appearance.
Zhao Layue's short hair has turned into shoulder-length hair. It was left unkempt and messy, far inferior to Liu Ah's.
Where's the comb? he said.
When he left Qingshan this time, he didn't forget to take the bamboo chair, and he didn't forget to keep the shade comb.
Zhao Layue said casually, I don't see anyone anyway.
But now I see people.
She stretched out her hand to grab water from the air and wiped it on her black hair, and it was immediately clean.
Follow me.
Jing Jiu took her out of the cave and walked towards the higher peak.
Lu Qing was still standing on the edge of the cliff like a clay sculpture, and the white cat followed behind shaking his head.
There is a cave at the highest point of the peak, and the top is hollowed out, which can bear the light of stars and the breath of heaven and earth.
It was here that Jing Jiu used his sword tour to inform overseas giant friends to keep an eye on the old ghost of Wushima.
With a slight movement in his mind, he stretched out his hand and summoned Furth Sword to have a look.
Zhao Layue clutched her chest and glared at him.
No matter how much you trust, it still feels strange to Jianxiu to take it without warning.
The color of Firth's sword is indeed somewhat different.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Layue and asked, Why do you want to suppress the sword intent?
Zhao Layue said: Zhuo Rusui is a junior, and my fight with him is to bully the small with the big, and it is even more unfair to use the Forsi sword.
Jing Jiu said, Don't have such redundant thoughts outside.
Zhao Layue said: If it is an enemy, it will be killed with a single blow.
Jing Jiu liked the idea of killing her with one sword very much. He reached out and touched her head and found that it was still a little wet.
Zhao Layue's hands were tucked into her sleeves, as if she was holding something.
Jing Jiu didn't notice, and flicked his right hand lightly, releasing something.
Zhao Layue felt a strong sense of caution.
She couldn't see those things.
Liu Ada was also very vigilant, and even Mao exploded.
It smells the smell of those things, isn't it the mosquitoes in the Demon Town Prison!
With a soft snap, the chilly cicada fell from the exploded cat fur to the ground. When Liu Ci was there before, it was frightened half to death, how could it dare to put its head up, now it landed on the ground, it looked into the air curiously, its strange translucent eyes kept turning, as if it was staring at something.
Jing Jiu was a little surprised, he didn't expect this little snow beetle to be able to see those mosquitoes.
Of course, the chilling cicada may not have seen those mosquitoes, but sensed their existence with heat.
He found it interesting, and said to Han Chan: If you can take care of them, I will use them for you.
Han Chan was startled, then suddenly turned over and pointed her belly at Jing Jiu, expressing her submission and gratitude.
Immediately afterwards, its extremely thin limbs rubbed against each other at high speed, making a sizzling sound, which was very pleasant, like nephrite jade being tapped, extremely cheerful.
...
...
The White Ghost lay on his stomach outside the cave.
The chilling cicadas guarded the surroundings with those mosquitoes.
The ban on Shenmo Peak is activated.
No one would want to hear his next conversation with Zhao Layue.
Even Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing couldn't do it.
Jing Jiu said, I have something to tell you.
Zhao Layue was a little nervous and nodded.
There were only the two of them in the quiet cave.
Jing Jiu said, Sit.
Zhao Layue sat down in front of him.
Outside, her relationship with Jing Jiu was still very natural, just like in previous years, when there was no one in private, she became more and more obedient to Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu said, There are some things that I actually forgot.
Zhao Layue thought to herself, is this the explanation?
A little nervous, she said anxiously.
Walking on Jianfeng, walking in the world, beheading monsters with swords, being assassinated by Bulao Lin, and then assassinating Luo Huainan.
No matter what happens, she is never nervous.
Today when Jing Jiu wanted to talk about the past, she became nervous.
How can this tension be eliminated?
Zhao Layue took out a comb from her sleeve and handed it to Jing Jiu, then turned around.
That way you don't have to look him in the eye.
Jing Jiu took the comb with his right hand and began to comb her hair.
The dark comb slides slowly between the black hair, with a wonderful charm.
This yin wood comb was brought back from the underworld by Taiping and given to me.
Jing Jiu felt that Zhao Layue's body froze for a moment.
I was able to find the Underworld Emperor in the Devil's Town Prison because of Taiping.
He described the events of the past few years in detail.
Gu Qing said something after returning to Qingshan, but only he, the person involved, knew about the details of the Demon Town Prison and what happened in Xihai afterwards.
Finally, he talked about the Wendao Conference of the Zhongzhou School and the process of obtaining the celestial talisman.
It seems to be a long time ago, but he won the tripod in Buzhou Mountain and took that step into the void, in fact, it was yesterday.
Zhao Layue was a little surprised, and asked, Is the fairy talisman held by your left hand at this time?
Yes, in addition to the immortal energy, there remains a white blade's immortal consciousness in the celestial talisman.
Jing Jiu continued, I told you before that Jingyang's ascension was successful.
Zhao Layue remembered that he had indeed said that a long time ago, and thought to herself why did you come back?
He stayed in that wider world for a while, and then encountered problems and had to be forced to return to the world of mortals.
Jing Jiu said, I didn't know what the problem was until I grasped this talisman.
Zhao Layue said: Because...you are very familiar with the fairy energy in the fairy book?
Jing Jiu said, It's not the immortal energy, it's the immortal consciousness left by Bai Ren, which seems to be familiar.
The cave became very quiet.
Zhao Layue was silent for a while, and said, Now you suspect that the Zhongzhou faction played tricks when the real Jingyang ascended, not the real Taiping?
By the Zhuo River, I told you back then that I found out that Daoist Taiping had nothing to do with Jingyang Feisheng, but that doesn't mean he had nothing to do with it.
Jing Jiu said, He has motivation and ability.
Zhao Layue said: You said that there is no problem with the formation that disappears into thin air.
Back then when Jingyang soared, he set off from this cave to the sky.
The large formation named Mist and Cloud Scattering is also here.
There is indeed no problem with the formation. No one in the peaks of Qingshan can do anything here, but the formation itself...may be wrong.
Jing Jiu was silent for a while, and said, That is to say, when he first started teaching Jingyang Taoism thousands of years ago, he never thought of making Jingyang ascend successfully.
If so, what a sad and meaningless past.
Zhao Layue didn't want this to happen, and said softly, Maybe... Immortal Bairen attacked Immortal Jingyang in the Immortal Realm, and it has nothing to do with Immortal Taiping.
Jing Jiu shook his head and said, If it wasn't for the problem with the formation, and Jingyang ascended to the fairy queen, how could Bairen be his opponent?
...
...
(The chapter title of this chapter was originally called: Master, you do it. There is no question mark or exclamation mark after it. It is very interesting to continue with yesterday's chapter, but because the content of this chapter is really big, and there are many things that are more important than the master.
