Hearing him say the word "mask", Chen Xu turned his head in front of Yun He and frowned: "A mask is worth so much money?"
The young man in blue continued to scratch his head and said, "This was sold by my father."
Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, but then he asked him seriously: "What does the mask look like? Is it a man or a woman?"
How could the boy know this? "This... I just came here to ask for money, I don't know anything else."
Pei Jing noticed his expression and stopped making things difficult for him. When he saw him off at the mountain gate, he only asked, "Where is your home?"
The young man in blue was surprised: "My home is deep in the alley of Xianxiang West. If you see a big banyan tree, the pawnshop under the tree is owned by my family."
Pei Jing smiled slightly. He used to travel thousands of miles when he went out, and he lived in Tianqian Peak for a long time, so he didn't know much about the things around Yunxiao in the past few hundred years. He knew the existence of Xianxiang, but he had never been there.
The young man hesitated to speak, his eyes shining. Such sincerity and admiration were too naive.
Pei Jing was quite fond of him, so he reminded him: "It's not very peaceful outside the cloud crane these days, you should be careful." The boy jumped down from the cloud crane, smiling shyly and timidly: "Thank you, immortal." When the cloud crane took off, the boy suddenly made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted loudly: "Immortal! Can you tell me your name!"
Looking down from the sky, the mortal boy on the grass looked as small as an ant.
Chen Xu snorted lightly.
Pei Jing just smiled and said nothing. It was a chance meeting, a one-time encounter, so there was no need to tell each other's names.
The stars fell in myriad threads, and the 108 peaks stood tall in the sea of clouds, majestic and far-reaching. Pei Jing looked down at his hands, thinking of the light in the eyes of the mortal boy, and thinking of Xu Jing's serene and contented smile on Shangyang Peak, and said: "If he really embarked on the immortal path, he might not be as happy as he is now."
Chen Xu heard the implication of his words and disagreed: "You are not him, how do you know?"
Pei Jing rarely argued with him: "You are right."
All living beings have their own way and fulfill their own destiny.
The water from the cold pond wet his long hair and seeped through his clothes. Pei Jing's fingers gently pressed on the edge of the pond. In the mist, his fingers were like jade, grasping the green grass and bending the moonlight.
In order to draw out the demonic energy in the body, one must return to the state when the Nascent Soul was broken.
When he was in seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul stage, he sat in meditation on Changji Peak. He was aware of the growth of every blade of grass, leaf, flower, and tree in the outside world. He even opened his eyes and saw lush flowers and leaves in front of him, and red flowers sticking out from the cave wall beside him. He was one with the world and nature.
The body sank into the water, and there was a very strange force in the water, waiting for an opportunity beside him. Pei Jing tried hard to capture the elemental spiritual power floating in the air, but they were all like naughty elves, dodging left and right, and the spiritual consciousness did not go according to his wishes, watching the world in a bizarre and colorful way. He could clearly sense Chu Junyu's breathing and heartbeat behind him, and his heart could not calm down at all.
Pei Jing simply broke the jar and let it go, whether he understood or not. Perhaps it was because he couldn't calm down for the first time after practicing for so long. After he figured it out, he stopped struggling and flew all over the mountain with his consciousness, and finally stopped beside Chu Junyu.
The young man standing beside him had a complexion so pale that it seemed to be invisible to the sun.
In the state of spiritual consciousness, Pei Jing half-knelt beside him and looked closely at Chu Junyu's eyebrows and eyes. He found that Chu Junyu's eyes were a pair of phoenix eyes, with the tails of his eyes slightly tilted upward, which was full of charm, but was suppressed by his own lonely and cold temperament. When he lowered his eyes, there was a different sense of abstinence. The black robe dragged on the ground and was also stained with moisture. Every strand of his silver hair was as cold as frost, just like his whole person. His eyeballs were blood-colored, the deepest dark color, but pure like water beads.
It looks really good.
When Pei Jingfenglin saw him, he felt that he was mysterious and untouchable. His silver hair and bloodshot eyes did not look like a good person. But after meeting him till now, he felt that Chu Junyu's eyes were really beautiful. The cold and pure red was like plum blossoms in the snow and the sunset glow. There are many beautiful but fleeting things that grow in the abyss.
The first time he saw her on the suspension bridge, through the blizzard, Chu Junyu looked back at him with an umbrella. Pei Jing never thought that one day, this person would be able to affect his practice.
He carried him across the suspension bridge, and they held each other close. In the icy snow, their breaths were faint in the wind and snow. When asked, "What do you think of Yunxiao?" He replied, "It is the top of the immortal sects and a great place for swordsmen." Pei Jing snorted and laughed, "But it has too many rules and strict regulations. It's really annoying."
Perhaps it was the snow in the illusion that gave him a headache. He didn't know if he really wanted to ask, or if he asked for no apparent reason: "What do you think of Pei Yuzhi?" The sky was hidden behind the clouds, the wooden planks were connected on the deep cliff, the road was slippery in the snow, and the boy did not stop, his eyes lowered without any emotion: "Nothing."
Think back to these.
Pei Jing couldn't help laughing, but the smile was very faint and fleeting. Now, with his spiritual consciousness, he stretched out his hand, wrapped a little of Chu Junyu's silver-white hair around his fingertips and pulled it down.
The voice was very light, "What about now?"
"What do you think of Pei Yuzhi now?"
After asking this question, Pei Jing suddenly turned pale and felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The pain spread from his bones, tearing his soul apart - his consciousness instantly turned into starlight and returned to his body.
So he didn't see the silver-haired young man looking up and forward.
The young man in the cold pool shuddered violently, and a strong blood color swirled between his eyebrows - a small blood stain mixed with the black energy of the primordial chaos. Pei Jing looked at his body and found that his golden elixir was cracking, and the cracks were dense like thin snakes. Then a more dazzling blue light came out from the cracks.
He has a single water spiritual root, this is... the initial stage of the Nascent Soul
No! Pei Jing quickly denied this.
It should be the point where the golden elixir breaks through the Nascent Soul.
But with this demonic energy around, he couldn't succeed.
Sure enough, when the golden elixir slowly cracked, the cold and damp air that had been preventing him from breaking through once again overflowed from the bottom of the dantian. It had been dormant for who knows how long, black and red, and had deep power. The devil's energy is the most mysterious and ancient blood in this world. Chu Junyu said that this thing had been in his body since he was born. Pei Jing couldn't help but wonder, isn't Pei Yuzhi's identity in the original book that simple
But now my body and mind are in tearing pain.
These wild thoughts were quickly suppressed by his will.
In the alternation between extreme cold and extreme heat, Pei Jing heard Chu Junyu's words. It seemed that every time, in difficult situations or dangers, it was always Chu Junyu who guided him.
The voice was as calm as the first snow: "Don't struggle."
Pei Jing wanted to laugh for some reason: That’s fine.
So he really stopped struggling with his spiritual power and let the demonic energy wrap around his golden elixir. Just when the coldness was about to freeze his golden elixir and shatter it, the power that had been hidden in the pool and surrounded him rushed into his body. It was overwhelming and powerful.
Soothe all the pain in the blood and bone marrow in an instant.
The most bizarre thing was that his body didn't reject it at all.
The warm current dispelled the cold. Pei Jing slowly opened his eyes. When he was in seclusion at Changji Peak, he saw flowers blooming on his shoulders. Now he tilted his head and only saw Chu Junyu's chin, his silver hair and his red lips pursed into a line.
Suddenly he was in a good mood. When Chu Junyu was dispelling the demonic energy for him, Pei Jing put his hands on the shore and leaned over to ask in a low voice: "Has anyone ever told you that you are beautiful?"
Chu Junyu stared at him and took a deep breath.
Pinch a blade of grass with your fingertips.
The wisp of black energy in Pei Jing's body was destroyed at the same time.
He lowered his head in silence, meeting the pair of clear eyes with a smile. They were just as clear and bright as the young man who was standing on the top floor of the office with a cup of hot tea, smiling at him from afar through the window.
Cold fog and dark rain.
Memories are reversed and time and space overlap.
The pain and anger that were once unspeakable are now slowly dissipating and no longer burn my mind.
He was very sober and calm, and he lowered his head and smiled slightly.
"There were a lot, but I forgot them all."
Pei Jingwei raised his head: "I forgot, is it because too many people praised it?"
“I guess so.”
Pei Jing clicked his tongue, "We really look alike."
A hint of ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of Chu Junyu's lips.
After the cold and gloomy air was removed, Pei Jing did not notice any changes in his body. It might be because it had been lurking for too long and did not cause any trouble, only appearing when he broke through, so he did not feel much. He came out of the pool and used a little magic to dry his clothes. After removing the crown, his hair fell to his waist, his black hair was like a waterfall, and his white clothes were bright.
Breaking Yuanying, or breaking the world. Now he can finally take the first step, the cause of the bottleneck has been eliminated, Pei Jing plans to retreat immediately after Yunxiao's current problem is resolved.
He looked at Chu Junyu in the moonlight, and the more he looked at him, the better he felt about this man. "When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will definitely come to your house to thank you."
Chu Junyu said coldly: "The premise is that you can find me."
Pei Jing asked back: "If I find you, will you meet me?"
Chu Junyu said: "It depends on why you came."
Pei Jing felt a little guilty and said, "Just to say thank you."
Chu Junyu smiled and said in a cold tone: "No."
Pei Jing: "..." Damn. He asked: "Then how can we meet?"
Chu Junyu ignored him.
Pei Jing gritted his teeth in anger, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there is no place in the world that I can't go, it was like this before, and it will be like this in the future."
Confidence is all.
Chu Junyu tilted his head and smiled faintly: "Then I hope you won't be too embarrassed when we meet again."
Pei Jing: “... ..???” What does that mean.
The maple forest in Shufeng is very beautiful in the evening, with flowers and leaves weaving and stars blooming. After passing this silver-red dark fire road, the end is Zang. At this time, the lights are still on. As the largest Zang in Yunxiao, it is not high but covers a large area.
When Pei Jing saw Zang, the first thing that came to his mind was Elder Lou’s ferocious look, and then Tiange.
On a whim, Pei Jing suddenly turned his head and said to Chu Junyu: "I'll take you somewhere! Follow me!"
Chu Junyu looked at him slowly and walked behind him.
In his old age, the old man, apart from his preference for pretentiousness, also learned the self-cultivation and rest of ordinary people to follow the will of heaven. At this time, they usually go back, leaving a female cultivator from Shufeng here, bored and flipping through ancient books. Pei Jing saw that he was not there and smiled, "God really helps me."
The female cultivator who was guarding there was wearing the spring clothes of the inner peak disciples. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, swaying on the water. At this moment, she held her chin with one hand, resting her head on the table, and turned over the dry herbs with the other hand, yawning.
Without Elder Lou, there was no need to hide anything. Pei Jing went straight upstairs, which woke up the sleepy girl.
Hearing the noise, she suddenly put down her hand and said, "You can't go up to the second floor at will now!"
Pei Jing heard this and turned back at the stairs: "Why?"
The female cultivator was stunned and her face flushed, but she still said seriously and responsibly: "The elder said that he is not here and no one is allowed to go up to the second floor."
Pei Jing sneered. Sure enough, this old man broke more rules every year.
He felt playful and winked at the female cultivator. There was a different smell in the semi-darkness of the staircase.
"Just don't tell him."
The female cultivator couldn't see his appearance clearly, she could only see his silky black hair and spotless snow-white clothes, and his elegant temperament.
When she blinked, magma exploded in her mind, and her whole body froze. She was bewildered and wanted to nod, but Elder Lou's face, which made anyone who glared at him cry, brought her back to reality, and she shook her head: "No, no, no, no."
Pei Jing said lazily: "That's fine, just say that it was Senior Brother Chen Xu who insisted on going upstairs."
Chu Junyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "It's him again."
Pei Jingjing was also amused after being reminded by him. Chen Xu was really a professional at taking the blame for him - but in fact, this was not called taking the blame, because Elder Lou would never believe that Chen Xu, who could be made to cry by his glare when they were young, had the courage to do so, and in the end, he still held a grudge against him.
"That's fine. Let him not take the blame." Holding the railing, Pei Jing tilted his head and said to the female cultivator, "Then just tell Elder Lou my name. He will understand."
The female cultivator was stunned. In fact, she had a name in her mind, but she was still unsure: "Excuse me, Senior Brother..."
Pei Jing didn't wait for her to finish and said with a smile: "Tianqian Peak, Pei Yuzhi."
As the dream of millions of girls and the man who has always been ranked first on the list of handsome men in the cultivation world, his charm is naturally not low. On weekdays, when the master is around, he is arrogant and a little cold to others. Now with such a smile, his eyebrows are full of romanticism.
The female cultivator's face was flushed, and she was completely awake. Before she could come to her senses, Pei Jing had already gone upstairs. She covered her hot face with a book, and after being excited for a while, she sighed: "No wonder he is called the inner peak heart thief, Senior Brother is too attractive. But it seems that he is not interested in women, alas." Thinking of this, she felt sad and regretful. In a few moments, the female cultivator suddenly realized - wait, who was the person standing next to Senior Brother just now. The person was in the dark, but tall - and his clothes were pure black, which looked extraordinary - the moonlight at the stairs moved slightly. Hair... ... The hair seemed to be white.
"Black hair and white clothes, white hair and black clothes..." The girl, who had been abused by her friends for many years, stared with wide eyes: "Brother, are you in love with someone else? Don't you want the Phoenix Emperor anymore?"
Just like Feng Jin would not know why he received so many sympathetic looks when he came to Yunxiao, Pei Jing would not know how Yunxiao later spread the news that he had a mistress hidden in a golden house at Tianqian Peak.
The skills on the second floor are reserved for the Jindan stage.
Yunxiao has a lot of books, including all kinds of mysterious and profound Kung Fu. Pei Jing had read a few of them before, such as Qianyuan Zhenchao and Jinyu Xiandian. Hunyuan Xinfa, but when he was in Jingtianyuan, his master told him clearly that he should stick to one thing to the end - these are prepared for those who are not good at swordsmanship in the sect. After all, there are fifty great ways, forty-nine heavenly evolutions, and one human escape. He has already practiced swordsmanship to the seventh level, so there is no need to do these.
In addition to the exercises, there are also some strange ones, such as threading a needle, planting and raising livestock. What is even more surprising is that Pei Jing once found an exercise specially prepared for female practitioners, about the art of dual cultivation. It really accommodates all rivers.
But this time, he didn't come for these skills.
Just like when he went to the second floor before, he would go to the Tiange to play because he was bored.
In the innermost part, when the door was opened, there was still a vast sea of books and paintings. Every word exuded a faint golden glow, dripping down from the sky, slowly rotating, and changing in an instant. In the center of the Tiange, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were taken away, leaving only a table and a mat. He had asked about returning to nature before, so he drew his finger in the air, passing through thousands of books, and the frame he had at that time returned to him.
"My master wanted me to return to my original nature, but I couldn't figure it out for a while, and he cut off contact, so I came to Tiange to ask."
—How to return to nature
Different from the crooked diary font, this line of words is full of ups and downs, natural style, and youthful spirit.
The gray line below is still there.
—See how you return to your original nature. If you have encountered inner demons, then fight poison with poison and cure the root cause. If you cannot realize the truth because of lack of experience, then enter the world.
—You don’t have to wash away your memories to enter the human world. The secular world exists in the vast universe, and wherever there are people, there is the world of mortals.
Chu Junyu looked from top to bottom, then said calmly: "So you went to Yinghui Peak incognito."
Pei Jing put his hands on the table, looking handsome and elegant, like a rich kid. He smiled and said, "One of the reasons is, didn't I tell you at the beginning? There is another purpose, which is to select disciples."
Chu Junyu asked: "Who to choose?"
Pei Jing looked at him with an open gaze: "Choose you."
Chu Junyu looked away, leaving Pei Jing with his pale and aloof profile.
Pointing at the table, Pei Jing continued, "Did you recognize me on the suspension bridge?"
Chu Junyu: “Yeah.”
Pei Jing was no longer embarrassed, but became interested: "So what did you think of me at that time?"
Chu Junyu said: "You are making trouble out of nothing. The assessment method is really stupid."
Pei Jing had expected this and laughed out loud - it was hard for Chu Junyu to be willing to act with him, holding an umbrella to support him, and being so gentle.
He glanced at the following content and stopped at the answer that had given him the first thought.
—You said that returning to the original nature and entering the world should be to experience the seven emotions and six desires and all kinds of flavors of life. In fact, it is very simple. Among the thirty-three heavens, the highest is the Heaven of Separation and Hatred. Among the four hundred and four diseases, lovesickness is the most painful. Taoist friends, find someone who is compatible with you and have a relationship with him. You can experience all kinds of emotions and see through this world.
His eyes fell on this, lost in thought.
Why did he find the bottleneck of breakthrough and draw out the devil's energy after asking that question? This question weighed on Pei Jing's mind all the way, but he didn't say it, nor did he want to ask. When the golden elixir breaks through the Nascent Soul, when the strength is overflowing, what is missing is a little enlightenment.
After decades of seclusion, one may suddenly realize the world, or in an instant, one may suddenly realize... ...love.
Pei Jing couldn't laugh anymore.
I thought to myself with a blank expression: Brother, what you said is really prescient.
But in this case, Chu Junyu was right. The master wanted him to return to his original nature, and the so-called return to his original nature was never about the seven emotions and six desires. Otherwise, he would have broken the world now. Pei Jing moved his fingers and destroyed the questionnaire. The handwriting drawn by his spiritual consciousness sank into the air, and the fragrance of ink lasted forever. The evening breeze blew in, and the paper rustled. When he looked up, there was a golden light, as if he was in the nine heavens and ten worlds, with thousands of people and thousands of words around him.
Chu Junyu also stretched out his hand and intercepted one.
The words at the top of his pale fingertips read "What does it feel like to have a sword soar through the frost of Wuwang Peak?" This has become a hot topic in Tiange, with too many replies, even overlapping, and you need to scroll down bit by bit. As the protagonist of the question, Pei Jing just thought it was fun when he saw this question for the first time, and it even greatly satisfied his vanity.
The above are still the fighting styles of various sects.
"One man and one sword slaughtered an entire peak, with the blue sky and fine snow as the witness." This is a favored child of destiny who lives in oral and verbal conversations.
Pei Jing saw him reading carefully word by word, and felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and indifferent, and said: "Why are there so many boring questions in Tiange? To be honest, I think they are so young, they should ask more about cultivation."
Chu Junyu said calmly: "You haven't seen this volume?"
Could Pei Jing say that he had not only seen it but also shamelessly pretended to be so? He coughed and said, "I haven't seen it."
Turning the page, a passage written in ink stood out among the grey fonts left by spiritual consciousness.
—Thanks for the invitation. Nothing special, just a little cold in the head. The snow was heavy. I suggest those who imitate me wear more clothes.
Chu Junyu laughed, but it was not his usual cold and playful laugh. It seemed like he was really amused.
Pei Jing: “… ... ” Actually, Elder Lou’s rules do make sense sometimes.
Chu Junyu's eyes seemed to be smiling: "Thanks for the invitation, huh?"
How could Pei Jing admit it? He said, "It turns out there are people like me who don't like to write with spiritual consciousness."
Chu Junyu nodded: "Yes, the handwriting is exactly the same as yours."
Pei Jing: “…”
The words are very simple, but the pretentiousness permeates the paper, filled with the writer's arrogance.
Pei Jing pulled the corner of his mouth and said sullenly: "Actually, this is my true feeling."
Chu Junyu tilted his head to look at him, his pure blood-red eyes were filled with a smile, and even the moonlight became softer.
"I believe it."
A sword soars through the frost and reaches the peak. Every word and sentence is a brilliant moment in his youth. In this era of genius, he is the best. The following answers are like another kind of proof, with self-deprecation, praise or joking, guessing what kind of demeanor that young man will have.
He once rode a sword through the wind, and wore a peerless white robe.
He was once famous. When the sword rose and fell, the mountains and rivers lost their color, and the heaven and earth retreated.
Pei Jing felt a little embarrassed when he was staring at him.
Chu Junyu said softly, "The snow on Wuwang Peak is really cold." He smiled to himself and then said, "Didn't you ask me how you are now?"
Pei Jing was stunned. What
Chu Junyu said: "You are very good now, less annoying than I expected."
