    [wangww.] When Qi Hao and Zeng "wang" saw Zhang Xiaofan here, they more or less smiled and said hello. Only Lu Xueqi still looked indifferent, but still glanced at him, her eyes  There seemed to be unknown emotions flashing through deep inside, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    Master Daoxuan looked at the four people in the hall and said with a smile: "I asked the four of you to come here today because I have something to do. I want you to go down the mountain to experience it."

    Qi Hao and others were moved together.

    Master Daoxuan then told the story about the "Ancient Ten Thousand Bats Cave" in Kongsang Mountain the day before yesterday, and said: "This matter is of great importance. The four of you are the elites of my sect, so I sent you to investigate. But the devil  Teach the demons to be treacherous and vicious, so you should all be careful."

    The four of them said in unison: "Yes."

    Master Daoxuan nodded and said: "In addition, in addition to my Qingyun Sect, Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple have sent outstanding disciples to investigate together. You must not be rude in front of others, but you must not undermine my Qingyun Sect's momentum.  In addition, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai from Nagato has already gone to Kongsang Mountain to investigate this matter. If you find him, we will discuss everything."

    The four of them looked at each other and agreed in unison.

    Master Daoxuan took a careful look at these four younger generation disciples, and finally his eyes fell on Qi Hao, beckoning: "Qi Hao, come here."

    Qi Hao was startled for a moment and stepped forward. Master Daoxuan looked him up and down, turned to Master Cangsong and smiled: "Junior brother, you have someone to succeed you at Longshou Peak!"

    Cangsong Taoist's face had not looked good since just now. At this time, he finally showed a smile and said with a smile: "Senior brother, it's a joke."

    Master Daoxuan smiled and took out something from his arms, handed it to Qi Hao and said, "Take it."

    Qi Hao took it and took a look, but it was a small mirror with an ancient shape, a bronze rim, a dragon engraved on the top and a tiger engraved on the bottom. The eight trigrams directions were engraved on the mirror. The middle lens was not an ordinary bronze mirror. It was so yellow that it was unclear.  .

    Before Qi Hao could react, Master Cangsong beside him was already beaming with joy and shouted: "You silly boy, what are you still doing? Kneel down and thank me."

    Qi Hao immediately woke up and knew that the inconspicuous thing in his hand was probably the magic weapon "** Mirror". He quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Uncle Master."

    Master Daoxuan smiled and said: "No, no, no, get up!" Then he said to the others: "You go out first!"

    Everyone knew that he was going to teach Qi Hao the secret of the mirror, so they all retreated.

    Walking outside the hall, Zhang Xiaofan first walked aside with Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi glanced at him and said calmly: "You have a heavy responsibility now, so don't go back to Dazhu Peak. Let's go down the mountain with the three of them later! Dazhu Peak  Let me tell you something there.¡±

    Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, then lowered his head and whispered: "Yes, Master."

    Tian Buyi said: "During the month when you were recovering from your injuries, I heard that your master's wife taught you some sword-controlling techniques and Taoist secrets. Have you memorized them all?"

    Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Yes, I have all remembered it."

    Tian Buyi turned around and said slowly: "That's good. Although your qualifications are not good, you are still my disciple of Dazhufeng. Don't embarrass me when you go out."

    Zhang Xiaofan immediately said: "Yes, Master, I will never disgrace you."

    Tian Buyi snorted. He had his back turned, and Zhang Xiaofan couldn't see his face. He didn't know what his expression was, but listening to his voice, there was no anger at all.

    After a while, Tian Buyi seemed to sigh, turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan, said nothing more, waved his hand as a greeting, and then raised the fairy sword to break the sky.

    Zhang Xiaofan stared blankly as the master's figure transformed into a streak of red light and disappeared into the sky, until someone tapped him on the shoulder. He was startled and turned around quickly, only to see the smiling Zeng Wang.  Looking around again, the leaders of other veins have gone, leaving only the two of them and Lu Xueqi standing in the distance.

    Zeng "Net" said with a smile: "You are lucky, I am worried that you will not pass the test this time!"

    Zhang Xiaofan immediately felt much more relaxed when he was with him. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes! I was scared half to death too."

    Zeng "Net" patted him on the shoulder, looked at him back and forth, and whispered: "Why didn't you bring Xiao Hui?"

    Zhang Xiaofan said with a bitter face: "I was brought by Master early in the morning, but I didn't expect to go down the mountain immediately. I didn't bring anything with me! How could I get Xiao Hui?"

    Zeng "Net" smiled and said: "It's okay, I can lend you the clothes, or you can buy them before we go to Heyang City down the mountain." After saying that, he winked at Zhang Xiaofan and whispered: "Haha, anyway, we are here  It¡¯s a profitable time.¡±

      Zhang Xiaofan didn¡¯t understand what he meant and said: ¡°What?¡±

    Zeng "Wang" raised his eyebrows, glanced behind him, and snickered: "There is a beauty accompanying us!"

    Zhang Xiaofan was angry and funny, but he still glanced at Lu Xueqi. At the same time, as if Lu Xueqi had sensed it, he glanced here. The two looked at each other from a distance. Zhang Xiaofan only felt that her eyes were frosty, and he was frightened.  He jumped and quickly looked away.

    The two chatted and laughed for a while. When Zeng "Net" was whispering to him about how he would go on the road with Lu Xueqi in the future, he suddenly noticed that Zhang Xiaofan's originally smiling face suddenly stiffened, and his eyes became straight, staring.  behind him.

    Zeng "Net" felt slightly confused and turned around to look, only to see a man walking up under the long steps. He was in his forties. His clothes were relatively clean, but his face was blank, his eyes were dull, and his mouth was garbled.  Say something without any preface and follow-up: "It's raining, it's dark it smells mother gods, gods, hehe, gods"

    Under the gazes of Zeng "Net" and Lu Xueqi, who was watching from a distance, Zhang Xiaofan walked over, walking very slowly, as if it took a long time before he reached the man.

    It¡¯s like walking back to the past!

    "Second Uncle Wang, are you okay?" He said in a low voice, trying his best to suppress his excitement.

    The man seemed to have no presence of Zhang Xiaofan in his eyes. He still muttered something in his mouth. He left Zhang Xiaofan and walked over. Soon, he disappeared behind the main hall.

    "Who is he?" Zeng "Net" walked up to him and asked.

    Zhang Xiaofan looked at the place where Uncle Wang disappeared and said sadly: "A lunatic!"

    Zeng Wang looked at his expression and wisely did not ask any more questions.  After a while, Qi Hao, who was beaming with joy, walked out of the hall and greeted the three of them.

    Zhang Xiaofan absent-mindedly walked over with Zeng Wang. After some discussion (Zhang Xiaofan was lost in thought and said nothing), they decided to go down the mountain to Heyang City first.

    Zeng "Net" smiled and said to Qi Hao: "Senior Brother Qi, is the ** mirror passed to you by the master's uncle very powerful?"

    Qi Hao smiled and said: "The mirror is the most precious treasure of my Qingyun Sect. It is naturally powerful. I am afraid that I am not practicing enough! Haha, okay, this is the top of the mountain. Except for the leader of the Seven Meridians, the other disciples cannot wield swords. Let's go down  Yunhai, from there, fly to Heyang City with your sword!"

    Lu Xueqi¡¯s face was expressionless, Zhang Xiaofan nodded blankly, and Zeng Wang was the only one with a smile on his face. It seemed that going down the mountain was a happy event for a fun-loving person like him.

    Along the way from Qingyun Sect to Heyang City, the four most "outstanding" disciples of Qingyun Sect came to wield swords. Others were doing it with ease, but Zhang Xiaofan could not help but have some difficulty.

    He had been recuperating for a month, and Suru seemed to have expected that he would be okay, and taught him some of the secrets of Qingyun Sect's Taoism, and also taught him how to use magic weapons to fly in the air.

    In fact, it is simple to say, as long as the Tao practice is deep enough and the magic weapon is not too late, it can be driven by Qingyun Taoism and mind power.

    " However, Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation is not deep. Although the magic weapon is not bad, it is very strange. He is also quite unfamiliar with the newly learned Qingyun Sect method, which will be very troublesome to use.

    At the beginning, Suru didn't expect that he would have to go down the mountain as soon as he climbed up to Tongtian Peak. She also wanted to let him memorize the magic formula first, and then let him practice more after returning to Dazhu Peak. Of course, the leaders of other branches did not know about this weird boy.  After all, looking at his performance in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, one would assume that he knew the most basic sword-controlling technique.

    But little did he know that Zhang Xiaofan secretly learned Taoism and reached the realm of "driving objects" in a daze, but he didn't know how to handle a sword.

    Looking at the others offering their fairy swords, Qi Hao is the white "Ice" fairy sword, Lu Xueqi is the blue "Tianya" fairy sword, and Zeng "Wang" is the fairy sword with a slight purple aura - "Xuanyuan".

    Zhang Xiaofan was nervous and held up the "fire stick", but the feeling seemed to be a little worse, not as comfortable as the day of Qimai Martial Arts.

    Crossing the clouds and over the mountains was supposed to be a half-day journey, but the four of them didn¡¯t arrive at Heyang City until the sun went down.  In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Xiaofan and three others fell to the ground in a secluded place outside Heyang City. Their whole bodies were soaked and their faces were pale. It seemed that this situation was even more difficult than the competition that day.

    Along the way in the sky, he couldn't control the fire stick several times. If Qi Hao and others hadn't noticed something was wrong around him, didn't dare to go too far away from him, and helped him in time, he would have been afraid of his new "outstanding disciple" of Qingyun Sect.  He would inevitably fall from a high altitude and die in pieces. Before he could bring honor to his master's sect, he would be infamy for thousands of years and bring shame to Qingyun sect.

    Qi Hao and others decided to stop outside the city and walk into the city. Although they wanted to avoid suspicion, they were also afraid of causing trouble in the city.?, in full view of everyone, Zhang Xiaofan accidentally fell down, and the lofty prestige that Qingyun Sect has worked so hard to establish here for two thousand years will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Alas!

    After taking a short rest and waiting for Zhang Xiaofan to catch his breath, the four of them walked toward the tall Heyang City in the sunset.  Zhang Xiaofan was walking at the end, feeling Qi Hao and Lu Xueqi in front of him casting doubtful glances from time to time. Apparently they couldn't understand why a person who excelled in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition couldn't even use an ordinary sword to move clearly.  .

    Zeng Wang, on the other hand, still walked with Zhang Xiaofan with a smile, never mentioning what happened just now, and introduced Heyang City to Zhang Xiaofan nonstop: "Within a hundred miles, this is the largest and most prosperous place.  There are at least 200,000 to 300,000 people living in this city, and the location is good, there are many business trips, and it is even more lively"

    As Zhang Xiaofan listened, he really admired Zeng Wang for his erudition and knowledge, and said: "Net, how come you know everything?"

    Zeng Wang said with a smug look on his face, "What's this? You'll know it if you read a lot." As he spoke, he smiled slyly, secretly whispered into Zhang Xiaofan's ear, "Actually, I've been here many times.  Yes, they all sneaked down the mountain."

    Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and said: "You, you"

    Zeng "Wang" curled his lips and said: "Look at how scared you are? What's the point? Ever since I learned the art of sword control, I naturally have to practice it often. Flying here, what's the point of going shopping when I'm tired?  Fantastic!"

    Zhang Xiaofan was speechless.

    Listening to the two of them muttering behind, Qi Hao smiled slightly and said to Lu Xueqi beside him: "Junior sister Lu, it's getting late. Let's spend the night here tonight and get on our way tomorrow!"

    Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as ice, without any expression, and she just nodded lightly.

    After entering the city, in order to avoid trouble, they changed the clothes of the Qingyun Sect disciples early in the morning, which did not arouse any suspicion. However, Lu Xueqi's extremely beautiful appearance caused quite a stir, causing many passers-by to stop and watch.  .

    Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Lu Xueqi from the side and saw that although her face was expressionless, a trace of anger flashed through her bright eyes. He couldn't help but worry about these passers-by. If the Dimensional Dimensions were unsheathed, half of this ancient city with a long history would be destroyed first.  .

    However, Lu Xueqi's self-cultivation was obviously much better than Zhang Xiaofan expected. There was no movement from Lu Xueqi until they checked into an inn called "Shanhaiyuan".

    Qi Hao has the most experience among the people, and he is the leader of the four. He was also the one who stepped forward to arrange accommodation in the hotel, and then they were arranged by the store to live in the best backyard.

    This Shanhaiyuan is quite large, with four separate gardens in the back garden. The four of them live in the Xiyuan, each with a room. After going back to rest for a while, Qi Hao called everyone to have dinner at the restaurant in front.

    Shanhaiyuan's self-built restaurant is located on the busiest street in Heyang City, but the VIP room on the third floor is very clean. There are only less than ten tables in the spacious hall, and now there are about five tables.  There are guests having dinner.  Qi Hao called the waiter and ordered a few dishes. He looked very familiar with this place and was probably a regular customer.

    Zhang Xiaofan thought like this in his heart. He was born in a farm family and had never been to a luxurious place like Shanhaiyuan. When he passed by the second floor just now, he saw the grand hall. But when he walked to the third floor, he saw carved dragons and painted phoenixes, mahogany beams, ancient  Fragrant and antique, completely different from the second floor.

    Naturally, he doesn¡¯t know that when people in the world reach a place of wealth, they will instead pursue status and taste. Even though some people like splendor and luxury, in order to let others say that they are somewhat cultivated, they often become arty.

    The four of them sat on a small table by the window. Zeng "Net" took a look at the decoration in the hall and said to Qi Hao: "Senior Brother Qi, the prices here are not cheap, right?"

    Qi Hao smiled slightly and said: "This is the best restaurant in Heyang City, so naturally it's not much cheaper, but our Qingyun Sect has a good reputation here, and their boss is eager for us to come and won't charge us much.  "

    Zeng "Net" said "ah" and nodded in agreement.  After a while, the waiter brought several plates of freshly fried side dishes to the table, especially a plate of fresh stewed fish at the end. Look at the fish body, which is elongated, sub-round at the front, narrow at the back, dark brown, and has whiskers.  Two pairs, thick and long.  The most important thing is that the meat is white and moist, and the aroma is overflowing, which makes people's fingers lick their fingers.

    Zhang Xiaofan has always been interested in cooking, but he has never seen this kind of fish. He couldn't help but ask the waiter: "Brother, what is this fish called, and how is it cooked?"

    The waiter laughed and said: "Sir, you are really discerning. This 'Stewed Sleeping Fish' is the signature dish of our Shanhaiyuan. It is fragrant, smooth and tender, and has a sweet taste. Within a hundred miles of Heyang City,  But very famous¡­¡±

    Zhang Xiaofan swallowed his saliva, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth. He immediately closed his eyes and nodded: "Ah! The meat is really good, but it's better cooked. Some sugar and ginger slices are added for the sweetness."  It smells fishy, ??uh, has the aroma of fried onions, which must be the use of fresh shallots. Ah! The most rare thing is that the combination of pepper, five spices, eh By the way, and the taste of sesame oil goes so well together, amazing, amazing!  "

    The intoxicated look on his face made Qi Hao and Zeng "Net" stunned. Even Lu Xueqi looked at him with a strange expression on her face. However, the waiter standing beside him was really impressed and praised loudly: "  The guest officer is really an expert and knows the goods!¡±

    At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan noticed the appearance of the people around him, his face turned red, and he quickly put down his chopsticks, but still asked, "Excuse me, brother, where does this sleepy fish come from?"

    Before the waiter could speak, he suddenly heard a woman's voice at the big table next door: "This sleepy fish is a specialty of Zhugou Mountain in the south. It is thousands of miles away from here. How can it be transported here? Aren't you a liar?"  ?" (Note 1)

    Everyone was startled and looked over. They saw eight people sitting on the big table, six men in yellow clothes and two women. One woman was wearing a lavender dress and her face was covered.  The veil made it difficult to see the face, but the skin that was exposed was snow-white; the other woman was the speaker. She was not very old, she looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed in aqua clothes, with a beautiful appearance and fine eyebrows.  She has beautiful skin and a pair of bright, big eyes that are extremely smart and eye-catching, even compared to Lu Xueqi's.

    Zhang Xiaofan said "Ah", but saw that after the woman said these words, her eyes fell on Lu Xueqi at his table, and she seemed to be shocked by Lu Xueqi's appearance.  Women love beauty, and even women like Lu Xueqi, who are usually as cold as ice, couldn't help but look at that woman one more time at this moment.

    The waiter smiled apologetically and said: "What this guest said is true, but you don't know. A hundred years ago, this sleeping fish was indeed unique to the Gou Mountains in the south. But later, Daoxuan of the Qingyun Sect passed by the Gou Mountains and specially brought this fish to the Gou Mountains.  The sleepy fish was moved back and placed in the flood waters of Qingyun Mountain. Not only is it now alive, but it is also gradually prospering. It is only through the blessing of Daoxuan Immortal on Qingyun Mountain that we can have this good fortune!" He said  As he spoke, a look of extreme reverence appeared on his face.

    Zhang Xiaofan and other Qingyun disciples were naturally happy and smiling after hearing this. But after hearing this, the girl turned around and looked at the veiled woman, sat back, and snorted.

    After finishing the delicious dinner, Zhang Xiaofan and others returned to their residence with satisfaction. Qi Hao said to everyone at the gate of Xiyuan: "You guys can rest here tonight! We will rush to Kongsang Mountain early tomorrow morning."

    Zhang Xiaofan and Zeng "Net" responded, but Lu Xueqi didn't say a word. She walked back to her room and closed the door with a bang.  Qi Hao was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly at the two of them, and said, "You two junior brothers, please rest early!"

    Zhang Xiaofan glanced at his handsome face and saw that under the setting sun, Qi Hao's expression was no less than before, and he still had a sense of being out of the world. Suddenly he became discouraged and couldn't lift his spirits, so he reluctantly and Zeng "  Net" said hello, but he ignored Qi Hao and walked back to the room.

    Zeng Wang laughed and joked with Qi Hao for a while, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

    This night was the first time Zhang Xiaofan left Qingyun Mountain in five years. He tossed and turned, and for some reason he didn't sleep well all night.

    In the middle of the night, I finally fell asleep, and suddenly I dreamed that I was covered in blood, standing with a ferocious face in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ????blood. At the same time, there was an unspeakable fanatical murderous intention deep in my heart, like red blood in front of my eyes.  Like the sweet spring water, it attracted him, seduced him, and made him want to kill to get it all.

    "ah!"

    Zhang Xiaofan woke up from his dream, sat up suddenly, gasped for air, and was covered in sweat. After a while, his violently beating heart slowly calmed down.

    He sat in the darkness for a long time. He accidentally reached out and touched the fire stick placed beside his pillow. A cold feeling surrounded him.

    This dream was very similar to the nightmares he had been dreaming about over the years. It was as if he had become another person. The blood-eating murderer in the dream made him feel afraid.

    There was silence and darkness all around.

    He crossed his legs, sat up straight in the darkness, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands in front of him.

    The darkness was like a gentle woman, gently wrapping around his body, and a layer of faint golden light loomed from his body.

    Reflecting that faint light, Zhang Xiaofan's face seemed to be covered with a layer of solemnity that he should not have.

    I don¡¯t know eitherAfter a long time, this layer of golden light gradually dissipated. Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes in the darkness, feeling peaceful.  Every time at this time, he missed the kind and gentle monk Pu Zhi.

    He could no longer sleep. He walked to the door, opened it and walked out.  The nearby rooms were all dark, and Qi Hao and the others must have fallen asleep.

    The back garden of Shanhaiyuan is built in a garden, with four courtyards built in the four directions of southeast and northwest.  Zhang Xiaofan walked out of Xiyuan where he lived and went to the garden in the center.

    It was already late at night, looking up at the sky, the sky was full of stars, and a full moon hung in the sky.  The night breeze was blowing, vaguely carrying a hint of fragrance.  The path is winding and deep, leading to an unknown place ahead.  Along the roadside, grass, shrubs, and flowers of all colors are blooming everywhere.

    Zhang Xiaofan felt confused for a while and walked down the path. The breeze blew on his face, bringing a slight chill.

    On such a quiet night, a young man walked alone in the deep garden, reminiscing about the past.

    By the roadside, a small flower trembled gently in the night wind, with crystal dewdrops attached to the pink and white petals, which were exquisite and clear. Zhang Xiaofan stopped and was stunned by the sight.

    The faint fragrance comes quietly.

    Suddenly, a slender jade hand seemed to stretch out from the eternal darkness, with a hint of quiet beauty, imprinted with the moonlight and stars in the sky, and touched the flower.

    Break it off!

    At that moment, there was a "boom" in Zhang Xiaofan's mind, as if the moonlight in the sky had lost its luster, and the garden suddenly fell into darkness.

    He turned his head and looked over, with a bit of inexplicable hatred.

    A young girl in aqua clothes stood there, as if attracting the light from the sky. She gently put the flower in front of her nose and smelled it deeply.

    Note 1: "Book of Mountains and Seas. Volume 4 of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Volume 4. Zhugou Mountains": The water travels five hundred miles to the south, and the mountains called Zhugou Mountains have no vegetation and many sand and stones.  It is a mountain with a vast area of ??hundreds of miles and many sleeping fish.  This chapter is published by online book friends www.
