The mountain road is wet, the rock walls are black and green, and a few plants poke their heads out of the cracks.
Huai Bai led Peiyu to the questioning platform—the second trial will begin soon.
Huai Bo thought, her little apprentice had made a big deal in silence, but fortunately she had cast spells to cover it up, and Ning Xiao would also take action to suppress the matter at Danxia Palace.
She has no doubt that her apprentice will grow into a genius who will amaze the world, but the more genius, the easier it is to be envied by others, not to mention that Shengrenzhuang and Momen are still eyeing him.
The more dazzling the light, the more responsibility you have to bear when you are young.
But she only wants Peiyu to live happily and have a beautiful childhood like those children in modern society.
"Master, Master..." Peiyu stopped and looked up at Huai Bai with a nervous expression.
Huai Bo turned around and said with a smile, "What?" Seeing that the girl hadn't spoken for a long time, she squatted down and said softly, "Are you still thinking about the heavenly ladder? Don't worry, it's just that the heavenly ladder has collapsed. It's no big deal, even if the sky falls, there is still a master."
When Peiyu heard this, her heart seemed to be gently scratched by something. She lowered her eyes slightly, her cheeks were stained with a touch of crimson, she let go of her tightly clenched left hand, and a golden fallen leaf was safely placed in her palm.
"Master, I give it to you."
This is not something precious, will Master like it
Peiyu bit her lip, her heart was pounding. This is the world she loves, and she wants to give it to the person she cares about most in the world.
Huaibai took the leaves and said with a smile, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Peiyu tried hard to maintain calm, but her lips couldn't help but her lips were raised, her eyes were full of joy, "It's as long as Master likes it."
Huai Bo curled his fingers and scratched the girl's delicate nose, "Little one, go ask your heart."
The second trial in Gushan is to ask the heart.
Compared with the Heavenly Rank, this trial looks much simpler. All you need to do is put your hands on the questioning stone.
On the Questioning Heart Stone, they will see what they most desire in their hearts.
Parents, wives, children, fame... Once you enter the fairy gate, you are destined to abandon many things. the most important thing.
Asking the heart stone is actually to give the disciples who will enter the lonely mountain a chance to choose, let them ask their own heart, so that they will not regret it in the future.
Huai Bai thought that the Dao ancestor who set up the trials in the past could be said to be well-intentioned, and he was preaching to these young people as early as the beginning of the road.
At this time, there were more than a dozen young people standing under the Wendao stage, all of them were disciples who had walked up to the 600th step and were qualified to enter the inner peak.
They raised their heads and looked longingly at the jade platform and the questioning heart stone shining white on it.
Four white feather girls stood on the questioning platform.
Seeing Huai Bo approaching, they all flew down from the stage, bowed in front of Huai Bo and said: "Uncle Huai Bo."
Huai Bo nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, I just accompany my apprentice to ask questions."
After she finished speaking, everyone was shocked. As a peak master, it is unprecedented in Xianmen to accompany an uninitiated disciple to participate in the trial.
Although they all thought that Huai Bai's cultivation was superficial, their perception of her couldn't help but change for the better.
"If only my future master could be so gentle."
"Is this the Peak Lord Shouxian? It's so beautiful, like a fairy."
Yu Chisu had been thinking about the changes in the heavenly ranks, when he saw Huai Bai, he suddenly became excited, waved his hands and shouted: "Xianchang, Peiyu!"
Waib smiled at her.
Yu Chisu folded his hands in front of his chest, making a Xizi holding a heart, "The Immortal Elder smiled at me!"
Peiyu frowned slightly, and subconsciously stood in front of Huai Bai, but she immediately realized that with her current stature, she couldn't stop other people's eyes.
She bit her lip in annoyance, and turned her head to give Huai Bo a sneaky look.
Why does Master laugh at others
Huai Bai still smiled like a spring breeze, and said to the disciples of Feiyu Peak: "Let's start the trial."
The four nodded upon hearing the words, flew to the jade platform, and announced the start of the questioning. Then they asked everyone to come on stage to measure in turn.
Those teenagers didn't know what they saw on the Asking Heart Stone. When they stepped off the stage, their eyes were wet and red. Instead of the original longing, there was thinking and wavering in their eyes.
Sheng Ji stayed on the stage for a long time, his eyes were as red as blood, and he walked down silently holding the sword.
"Hey, are you okay?" Yu Chisu asked curiously.
It was rare for Sheng Ji not to answer harshly, but just shook his head silently.
Huai Bai squinted his eyes slightly, remembering that when he was a teenager, he still vividly remembered the scene where he put his hand on the Questioning Heart Stone unsurely at that time. He didn't expect that hundreds of years would pass in the blink of an eye.
If placed in the original world, she has already lived for several lifetimes.
The back of her hand was scratched lightly, she looked down, Peiyu respectfully said: "Master, it's my turn."
Huai Bo held her back again, and said with a smile, "I'll accompany you."
Peiyu raised her head in surprise, then lowered her head after a while, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Master."
Huai Bo led the girl and slowly walked up to the questioning platform.
She remembered that when she first came to another world, she groped and walked on the road alone, practiced sword and killed the enemy alone, when she was extremely tired and painful, she sat in front of the lake of time and looked at the bright moon, feeling a kind of bone-chilling loneliness .
Her master once said that the road is a lonely road, and one can only walk and realize it by oneself.
But she didn't want Peiyu to be as lonely as herself, she wanted to be with this child, do her best, and be with her forever.
The questioning heart stone shone with a soft white light.
Huai Bai held Peiyu and said softly, "Just put your hand on it."
Peiyu hangs her hand on the Asking Heart Stone, a little hesitant. At this time, she and Master are still clasping hands, which means that Master will also see the picture in her heart. What should Master do if he sees himself in such unbearable condition
But her predicament did not last long.
Huai Bai quickly let go of Peiyu's hand, stroked her head, and pushed her aside.
This is the child's privacy, she has no intention of getting involved.
Peiyu felt relieved, and felt a little disappointed again. She glanced at the Asking Heart Stone and put her hand on it.
Everything in front of my eyes turned blood red.
The red mist was as thick as the sea, and she saw a person walking slowly among the blood red, wearing black clothes and a black veiled hat, his face was covered, only a pair of autumn eyes were exposed.
The man penetrated her body and walked towards the lonely city in silence.
Peiyu was amazed and silently followed behind this man.
Not long after, she walked into the city, and saw the radiant spring in the dark crowd—it was the young master, with the immature face of a girl, his brows were distant and indifferent, and a bright sword was hung on his waist.
"Thank you fellow daoist for saving me just now." When Huai Bai saw the man in black, his eyes lit up a little.
Under the black veil, red lips raised slightly, "You're welcome."
When Huai Bai heard the hoarse voice, he was a little startled, and asked again: "Dare to ask your friend's name?"
The man didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled and said hoarsely, "Ming Luan."
Then many pictures flashed before Peiyu's eyes, hazy and indistinct, and finally she heard the smiling voice of the master——
"Ming Luan, today is the day you and I form a bond. In my world, husbands and wives should be honest with each other when they get married. So, I also want to tell you a secret."
"Want to know? Just give me a kiss and tell you."
Peiyu didn't have time to hear the secret, and the questioning heart stone suddenly became hot, and she was caught off guard, and she was so hot that she withdrew her hand.
Huai Bo hurried over and asked, "Apprentice, what's the matter?"
Peiyu shook her head and put her hand up again, but there was no flash of the past in front of her eyes.
What the hell was that just now? Is it... the past between the blood demon and the master
Her heart was confused and numb, and she couldn't help frowning.
In Danxia Palace.
Ning Xiao suddenly said "Ah...", his eyes became a little complicated.
Peak Master Lingsu hurriedly asked: "Senior brother, what happened?"
Ning Xiao smiled wryly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid Gushan will change the rules of the trial in the future."
Lord Huang Zhongfeng asked: "Why did you say that?"
Master Zhuoyu Peak said: "Brother Sect Master means that the Heaven Rank is broken, and we have to find a way to test them in the future, but the Heart-Worshiping Stone and the Chenchen Pool can still be used."
Ning Xiao sighed, "The Asking Heart Stone is also broken."
"what?"
"… what?"
"This, Peiyu?"
Zhuoyu Peak Master was silent for a long time, then murmured: "Maybe, it can be cured after a little practice?"
Peak Master Ling Su suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Tell her not to go to Xichenchi! Please!"
