Xi Chaoyun was stunned: "Old friend?"
The word "old friend" can be used lightly or heavily.
But Xi Chaoyun couldn't understand how such an old friend appeared in Du Wei's past.
Du Wei had nothing when he was a child. He even walked the path of Chunshui Taohua alone. He was abandoned by his friends and family and walked alone. After he went to the upper heaven, he never let anyone get close to him. The empty and lonely Yuqing Peak was only visited by birds all year round. If he said that he met them while traveling, it would not be possible. Du Wei's heart was as cold as ice. He would not even look at insignificant people or insignificant things.
Where did this old friend come from
Xi Chaoyun's gaze fell on Yan Qing. This time he was genuinely surprised and couldn't help asking.
"Young Master, you and Du Wei knew each other before? When did you meet?"
Yan Qing thought: We have known each other for a long time.
We knew each other when no one in the world knew Xie Shiyi.
It was when he faced Xi Chaoyun that he paused for a moment, then chose to smile, his eyes curved as he said, "Just a while ago, Sir, I think Immortal Du Wei and I hit it off right away."
We hit it off the first time we met, so we can be considered old friends.
Xi Chaoyun wanted to ask something else.
Le Zhan first pulled her back, and fixed his gaze on Xie Shiyi's eyes which were covered by the white silk. He frowned and said, "Du Wei, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Xie Shiyi had expected this question, and said calmly, "Something happened during the retreat."
Le Zhan was even more worried: "Is it serious?"
Xie Shiyi said: "It's not serious, just rest for a few days and it will be fine."
Le Zhan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."
At this time, Tianshu also climbed up from the 9,900th step. When he saw Xi Chaoyun and Le Zhan, he bowed respectfully and said, "Master, Master Xi." Then he stood up, smiling happily, as if he was asking for credit: "Look, I was right. Du Wei really needs to stay at the sect for a while."
Le Zhan raised his lips. He had an elegant and handsome appearance, and his eyebrows were full of immortality. He turned around and asked Xie Shiyi, "How long do you plan to stay here this time?"
Xie Shiyi was silent for a moment and said, "To be determined."
Xi Chaoyun said softly, "It's okay to come back and stay a little longer. You have been staying in the Xiaoyu Palace, and there was heavy snow and wind in the Demon Slaying Formation. I have been worried."
After walking up the nine thousand nine hundred steps, Yan Qing thought he would be very tired, but after meeting Le Zhan and Xi Chaoyun, he calmed down completely and didn't even feel tired or sleepy.
He was surrounded by a red line, looking at the plum blossoms of the Forget Love Sect, and then at the man and woman who slowly walked down from the clouds. Both of them were big shots who could shake the entire upper heaven with a wave of their sleeves. When they appeared in front of Xie Shiyi, they were like parents who had been waiting for their child to return home for a long time, with a gentle smile on their brows.
Yan Qing had complained about the Wangqing Sect's hospitality before, but he never expected that when he actually met the leader of the world's number one sect, he would be even more friendly than the leader of his Huichun Sect
Of course, it’s probably all thanks to Xie Shiyi.
From the crowd of Wangqing Sect disciples kneeling on the martial arts stage, who dared not even breathe, it was clear that Sect Master Le Zhan was not as elegant and gentle as he appeared.
Xie Shiyi said: "I will take people back to Yuqing Peak first. If you have anything, please let me know." He has grown from a genius boy to the powerful leader of the Immortal Alliance. Although he has restrained himself a lot in front of his teachers, his words and actions will still inadvertently reveal some of his speaking habits.
Xi Chaoyun nodded and smiled gently: "Xian, please go back to the peak. I haven't seen you for a hundred years. I finally feel relieved to see you now."
Le Zhan said, "Du Wei, your Yuqing Peak has been empty for a hundred years. Now that we can move in again, do you want me to arrange for some servants to come over?"
Xie Shiyi: “No need.”
Yan Qing was still looking at the more than 300 outer peaks of Wangqing Sect when he suddenly heard Xie Shiyi's voice: "Let's go."
"Oh." There were plum blossoms falling on the ground in front. Although not as good as the red carpet on the cloud steps, it was still beautiful and brilliant.
Yan Qing could sense thousands of eyes staring at him from behind.
What belongs to Le Zhan and Xi Chaoyun is complex and strange, and they are hesitant to speak.
For the disciples who were kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe, the news was earth-shattering and unbelievable.
For that familiar yet distant name.
"Master, this is Director Xi." Tianshu called out cautiously when he saw the two of them were in a trance.
Xi Chaoyun retracted her gaze, the gentle look on her brows faded, and she said, "Tianshu, tell us everything that happened in the Huichun Sect." Her smile was gentle and moving, but when she was not smiling, the pressure from her Spirit Transformation Stage was like a chilly wind.
Tianshu was afraid of this great elder, and wiped his sweat and said, "Master Xi, that little girl was the one who asked us to marry Du Wei with the token. Du Wei went to Huichun Sect to investigate Zixiao's affairs. She agreed to the marriage there."
Xi Chaoyun said in a surprised tone: "Did Du Wei agree?"
Tianshu: "Yes, this person was brought back to the sect."
Le Zhan and Xi Chaoyun looked at each other. The two masters, who were over a thousand years old, were silent for a while. Tianshu looked at their faces and could understand their feelings.
Xi Chaoyun frowned.
Le Zhan, on the other hand, was more open-minded. He sighed, smiled and comforted her: "Don't think too much. Don't you think that the time when Du Wei climbed the ladder just now was the most casual time for him in a hundred years?"
Xi Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked towards the long ladder.
The plum blossoms rolled and swayed into a long red corridor. She was dazed for a moment. Actually, when she saw Du Wei leading the young man up the stairs step by step, she had an illusion. It was as if it was a red dress for ten miles. The plum blossoms and the fine snow were the proof of their love for each other.
Yuqing Peak is one of the ten inner peaks of Wangqing Sect, covering the central and southern parts. Xie Shiyi must have taken him on an unknown path, and he didn't run into many Wangqing Sect disciples along the way.
Yan Qing kept looking around all day, tilting his head.
He looked at the flowers, the snow, the trees, and the birds, as if he was trying to piece together the lost years of Xie Shiyi's growth in his mind.
The sky and earth are solemn and white, and the mountains and valleys are dangerous.
Yan Qing looked up and praised without hesitation, "The Wangqing Sect is indeed the number one sect in the world. It is truly glorious."
Xie Shiyi said: "There is a cold pool on Yuqing Peak. You can wash your meridians and marrow in it first."
Yan Qing was surprised: "Do you have such a powerful pool in your peak?" He really deserves to be the chief disciple.
Xie Shiyi didn't answer, and asked again: "How did you practice in your previous life?" He paused and added: "After the Demon Realm."
How to practice after entering the Demon Realm.
Practice randomly...
How could Yan Qing tell him this? He thought for a while and said, "Drawing Qi into the body. Why? Did you find another way to practice in the upper heaven?"
Xie Shiyi: "If you want to reshape your bones, you can't practice like this."
Yan Qing had actually had a plan to restore his cultivation since he was reborn.
Everyone in the cultivation world attaches great importance to one's root bones. Only when one reaches the Void Stage and has a glimpse of destiny will one understand that a mortal body is just a container. Excellent spiritual roots can at most make it easier for spiritual energy to enter the body.
After all, what is really important is the perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Be familiar with your five senses, be familiar with your spiritual consciousness, and refine it into Dantian in a way that suits you.
However, he was in the Qi Refining Stage, and starting from scratch would definitely be a long journey.
Yan Qing was a little confused when she heard Xie Shiyi say this: "Why can't this be done?"
Xie Shiyi said: "Your Dantian can't accept too much spiritual energy."
Yan Qing: “…Really?” Xie Shiyi was at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, number one in the world, so his words were very credible.
Xie Shiyi said calmly: "You need to break the pill first."
Shatter the dantian? Shatter the dantian
Yan Qing: "Does it hurt?"
Xie Shiyi's tone was very gentle, and he said quietly: "It doesn't hurt."
Yan Qing: “Oh.”
Le Zhan said that Yuqing Peak had been deserted for a hundred years, and it really had been deserted for a hundred years.
After winding through the mountains, there was a blanket of snow on the ground, covered with scattered dead branches and leaves.
Bu Zhi slept soundly and finally woke up. He felt stuffy in Yan Qing's sleeve and poked him with his paw.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Qing simply let it out.
Bu Dezhi happily rolled up his sleeves, but before he could express his feelings, he looked up and saw Xie Shiyi next to him. He swallowed all his words back into his stomach, huddled on Yan Qing's shoulder, and was as quiet as a chicken.
Xie Shiyi took him to the main hall of Yuqing Peak, which was magnificent and vast, and so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. The first thing Yan Qing saw was the plum blossoms hidden in the sea of clouds and mist on Yuqing Peak. In comparison, the plum blossoms in front of the Wangqing Sect's gate were much less colorful.
This is the center of spiritual energy, and the plum blossoms here are particularly red. The plum blossoms stand on the cliff, and there is a stone tablet in front. Yan Qing was attracted by the stone tablet and was about to look over to see what was written on it.
Xie Shiyi grabbed his wrist and pulled him over and said to him.
"There are countless formations on Yuqing Peak, don't move."
Yan Qing: “Oh.”
Xie Shiyi walked through the corridor and took him to a side room. He cast a small spell, and the cold wind and snow outside were blocked in the room, making it warm inside. Yan Qing was just an ordinary person, and he felt a new life inside. The gauze curtains and mattresses looked expensive and comfortable, and the warmth and dryness inside made him even more sleepy. He was suddenly exhausted from the journey.
Xie Shiyi raised his sleeves, and a faint candlelight lit up. He said calmly, "You go to sleep for a while, I'll go out and take care of some things."
Yan Qing was not a sleepy person before, but for some reason, he suddenly felt extremely sleepy. He asked casually, "Where are you going?"
Xie Shiyi paused and said, "Just outside."
Yan Qing nodded. It had been a long time since he had let down his guard like this. When he was completely relaxed physically and mentally, he would really feel more sleepy.
The sound of plum blossoms falling could be faintly heard outside the window.
He was so frustrated that he bit his wings and said in shock, "Why did you go home with him?!"
Yan Qing said: "Well, this is your new home. Take a look, do you like it?"
Bu Dezhi: “…” Bu Dezhi ran away from home in despair, but he couldn’t get out of the formation set up by Xie Shiyi, so he could only hold his breath and squat on the beam.
Yan Qing ignored him, went to bed, and felt like she was sinking into a cloud, closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Rejuvenation school.
Heng Bai did not go back with Tianshu and the others on the cloud boat because he was left behind to deal with some follow-up matters.
After sealing off the Dongxu Secret Realm and collecting Zixiao's relics, he turned around and saw Bai Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but laugh.
The famous monk in Tianshu, who was known to the 300 peaks, was frightened and chose to flee, leaving the mess to him. It is conceivable how horrible these years were.
Heng Bai said coldly: "Stop crying."
Bai Xiaoxiao actually didn't want to cry, but she just felt aggrieved. After listening to Heng Bai's words, she bit her lip angrily and stopped talking.
Heng Bai was well-known for his sarcastic and caustic nature. He put the powder of the Shidui sword into a box and said to Bai Bai again: "Don't you know that you are annoying when you cry so much?"
Bai Xiaoxiao sniffed and stopped talking.
Heng Bai said: "You are so shy and crying. I wonder why you are crying so much."
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but mutter, "It's not what I thought."
Heng Bai looked at him coldly. In fact, he put aside all his feelings of looking at a clown and laughing at a joke, and re-examined Bai Xiaoxiao. He found it quite novel. Be it greed or jealousy, it was all reflected on his face, and he could see through his whole mind at once.
It is rare to find such a simple person as Nan Zezhou.
Heng Bai was left alone, losing the honor of returning to the sect with his respected Senior Brother Xie. He was upset. Bai Xiaoxiao came to him, and he couldn't help but sneer at her: "Don't you have a fiancé by your side? Why are you so eager to get the token? Are you so loyal?"
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly red when her thoughts were exposed, but she said stubbornly: "I am not greedy for the token, I just don't like Yan Qing's behavior."
Heng Bai sneered: "You can't even fool me, who else do you think you can fool?"
Bai Xiaoxiao stopped talking.
Heng Bai said: "Tianshu originally agreed to take you back to the sect, but he didn't expect Senior Brother Xie to go back with him. He doesn't dare to let Senior Brother Xie see someone like you again."
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes turned redder and she clenched her fists.
Heng Bai looked down at him coldly: "I really admired you at that time. You actually showed such a stupid idea in front of Brother Xie for nothing."
"Who do you think he is?"
"Bai Xiaoxiao, I can tell you. In the world, if there is anyone who can deceive Senior Brother Xie, it can only be him, or he did it voluntarily."
Heng Bai walked out carrying the box, not wanting to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second.
Bai Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke softly: "Why are you doing this to me?"
Heng Bai twitched his horn.
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said lightly: "All the humiliation and grievances I have suffered are just because I saved you, senior?"
Heng Bai's mouth twitched again.
He understood why Bai Tianshu escaped.
Before leaving, Heng Bai said coldly: "Aren't all the humiliation and injustice you have suffered your own fault? Also, you have the power left by Zixiao in your body. Such an opportunity is only available to ordinary people after going through ten directions of life and death. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Bai Xiaoxiao stopped wiping her tears and murmured, "What is Senior Zixiao's skill?"
Heng Bai's sword landed at his feet, and he left with the box containing the sword's brilliance, unwilling to pay any more attention to him. He was the leader of the Wangqing Sect, and he had long seen through the matter of chance. Whether it was a blessing or a disaster, it all depended on fate.
After Xie Shiyi left, the peach blossoms in the valley all withered. The bare branches were facing the sky, still looking desolate and rejuvenated, as if the peach blossoms and rain were just a dream.
He sat on a stone, and when he looked up he saw a tiny grey space that blocked his vision and his thoughts.
A dead leaf fell on Bai Xiaoxiao's hair. He subconsciously looked up and looked in the direction where Heng Bai left.
There is... Nanzezhou.
Xie Shiyi sat on the high throne of the Jade Platform in the Jade Purity Palace. A hummingbird flew through the towering snow and scorching plum blossoms and landed beside his hand.
He held up a finger and the hummingbird pecked at his nail with its beak.
Layers of encrypted voice transmission spread throughout the palace, making it cold and solemn.
"Alliance leader, we have already killed all the people you ordered to be killed."
"Qin Changfeng and Qin Changtian of the Qin family in Zijinzhou; Xiao Luoya and Xiao Chengxue of the Xiao family; Yin Guan and Yin Xian of the Liuguang Sect. All of them have their soul lamps extinguished."
Xie Shiyi's jade-like fingers twisted again. The hummingbird broke into powder and was swept away by the wind.
His hands are suitable for holding swords and pens. Wherever the sword points, there are bones, and every word written by the red pen is murderous.
Her legs were covered with white silk cloth, her snow-white clothes were spotless, her black hair hung down in disarray, and she looked detached and noble, like an immortal from heaven.
Only a few people knew how much blood this immortal with hands pure from dust had stained.
After sleeping for a day and a night, Yan Qing still felt sore in his waist and back when he woke up. Nine thousand nine hundred steps were really not something a human could walk. After accepting his fate, he had learned to entertain himself, squatting in the corner to play with mud and snow.
Yan Qing's hair was messy, he yawned without caring about his image, and walked out barefoot.
Frustrated Wings tightly hugged his hair and said, "I'm freezing to death. I'm freezing to death. When will this snow stop?!"
Yan Qing said lazily: "It depends on the mood of the peak master."
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, the bronze bells around him began to ring.
Xie Shiyi didn't seem surprised at all.
Yan Qing stood outside the palace threshold, feeling frustrated. Looking at him sitting high up in the hall, he was in a trance for a moment.
In fact, a long time ago, he thought that Xie Shiyi was both good and evil in nature. Even if he didn't bring disaster to the world in the future, he would not become a traitor. Unexpectedly, he gradually became the Duwei Immortal Venerable who was as gentle as the wind and the moon.
Xie Shiyi saw him wake up, stood up, and walked downstairs, his robe covering the steps like snow: "Let's go to the cold pool."
Yan Qing: “Oh.”
They walked through a corridor hung with bronze bells and covered with plum blossoms and white snow.
Yan Qing may have overslept, and his brain was a little fuzzy. He couldn't help but look at Xie Shiyi again, and finally asked softly, "Xie Shiyi, why are you helping me so much?"
It was difficult for him to define their relationship.
This question is like dispelling that thin layer of fog.
It forced the two to reunite after a long separation and to sober up and calm down again.
Xie Shiyi said calmly: "Why do you ask that?"
Yan Qing thought about it and said, "Because I want to know the answer."
Xie Shiyi was silent for a moment, then smiled gently and said in an unpredictable tone: "Yan Qing, there are very few people who can get the answer from me without paying a price."
Yan Qing tugged at his frustrated wings and said nothing. Perhaps it was because their previous conversation was too casual, as if time had gone back and they were recalling the old times without any gaps.
So when Yan Qing jumped out of the deliberately maintained warm illusion, Xie Shiyi naturally revealed his sharp coldness.
Yan Qing: "Price?"
Xie Shiyi said casually: "The cold pond is in the plum forest. I'll wait for you outside."
Yan Qing did not change the subject with him: "What is the price?"
Seeing how persistent he was, Xie Shiyi said in a cold and nonchalant voice, "If you really want to know, answer me three questions."
Yan Qing: “Ah?”
Xie Shiyi seemed to be extremely patient with him in the beginning, indulging his every word and action, but that didn't mean he was a gentle person. On the contrary, the real Xie Shiyi was always the one who was strong and aggressive.
Xie Shiyi's voice was clear and calm: "Why don't you leave the Huichun Sect? Why did you take action in the Dongxu Secret Realm? And why are you so obsessed with this question?"
Why don't you leave the Rejuvenation Sect
If you want to see the scenery of Nanzezhou, you should go after you are reborn.
Why did you take action in the secret realm
At first, he pretended to be crazy and stupid so as not to be recognized by him, but in the end, he failed.
Why are you so obsessed with this issue
—Is the reason why I help you important
