The sun is rising.
A ray of light cut through the darkness and landed on the towering peak of Giant Ape Peak.
The trees are deep green, and the flowers and grass are covered with dew.
The cool breeze in the early morning blows slowly, bringing with it the scent of the warm sun and the fragrance of grass and trees.
Everyone was bathed in the golden morning sun, and suddenly there was silence for a moment.
“What a beautiful view.”
Someone looked at the rising sun and sighed.
However, this beauty and tranquility were soon drowned out by the noisy sounds.
They didn't come here to see the scenery.
The leaders of various sects gathered together to discuss matters, and the disciples also gathered in twos and threes to make friends.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at the girl bathing in the morning sun.
There was no sign of emotion on that originally charming but cold face, and those originally charming eyes had now become so cold and distant.
Many people wanted to come over and talk to her, but before they got close, they left in embarrassment.
Her temperament and demeanor have long kept people at a distance.
Bai Wei'er had been standing silently behind her without saying a word since some point, and was in the same daze as her.
The two of them were wearing white dresses, looking cold and lonely, and they looked so similar.
“Does it look good?”
A gentle voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Luo Qingzhou nodded subconsciously and said, "It looks good."
After saying that, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist.
Turning around, he saw Her Majesty the Queen staring at him with eyes as sharp as knives.
Luo Qingzhou quickly changed his words: "What I said is that your majesty is beautiful."
Nangong Huoyue pinched him hard again, gritted her teeth and said, "Remember, you are my husband, don't embarrass me in front of so many people!"
"yes."
Luo Qingzhou agreed respectfully.
"Hold it!"
Nangong Huoyue put her hand into his palm and ordered coldly.
Luo Qingzhou gently held it and stroked it, then looked towards Dean Bai and whispered, "Your Majesty, those people who were talking to you all looked like scholars. Are they practicing Confucianism like you, Senior Bai?"
Nangong Huoyue glanced over there and said, "It should be."
Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "How to practice Confucianism? Where to start?"
Nangong Huoyue was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked at him and asked, "Why, are you interested too?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No, I'm just asking."
Nangong Huoyue looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "In fact, with your talent, you are quite suitable. However, it is too late. After all, your body and soul are already at a very high level. Moreover, the cultural heritage of my Great Yan has long been gone, and there is no cultural energy in the world. Otherwise, Dean Bai would not be the only one left in Confucianism."
Luo Qingzhou was surprised and asked, "The cultural energy between heaven and earth? How is it different from the heaven and earth energy we cultivate?"
Nangong Huoyue pondered for a moment and said, "I don't quite understand it either, but it should be not much different. When we practice, we need to breathe in and out the vital energy of heaven and earth, while they need literary energy. We have the spiritual veins of vital energy in Da Yan, and although the vital energy between heaven and earth is thin, it is also present. As for literary energy, it has long been gone. When Dean Bai practiced, he should have obtained it from some ancient articles. According to my father, the literary energy of Confucianism and Taoism can be obtained from poems, songs, and other articles in addition to obtaining it from heaven and earth, but those works must be excellent articles that can arouse the literary energy in the body and even resonate with heaven and earth..."
Luo Qingzhou listened carefully.
After Nangong Huoyue finished speaking, she looked at him and said, "Although your poems are very exquisite, they are not necessarily useful. Moreover, you don't have any literary energy in your body, and you have never practiced any Confucian and Taoist techniques, so even if you can write such an article, it will not produce any strange visions, let alone any feelings."
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved slightly, and he whispered: "It sounds simple. As long as you comprehend the Wen Qi in your body, and then practice the skills that can absorb and induce Wen Qi, then you can use Wen Qi to practice, right?"
Nangong Huoyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Very simple? You are so arrogant. Just the first one, to comprehend the literary energy of heaven and earth and establish a connection between your body and the literary energy of heaven and earth, is difficult for you to do, not to mention those complicated exercises. Let me tell you, it is much more difficult than cultivating martial arts and cultivating the soul. When my father showed me an article with literary energy, I was completely confused. I knew the words on it, but every word was so important that I couldn't recite it coherently, and I couldn't even remember it all in my mind. It was as complicated as it could be..."
Luo Qingzhou listened to her complaints and couldn't help but mutter: "Is your majesty too stupid..."
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"No… nothing."
"snort!"
As the couple were holding hands and talking in low voices, not far away, Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in green, stood under a green pine, watching silently.
Fairy Zixia came over, also looked over there, and whispered, "Are you envious?"
Linghu Qingzhu remained calm and said nothing.
Fairy Zixia looked at the cold figure in the white dress and asked in confusion, "Have you noticed that Feiyang is particularly concerned about Miss Yueyao? Since he came down from the flying sword, he has glanced at her a total of 72 times. Look, he has glanced at her again, the 73rd time! He is talking to the princess, but he is still peeking at her..."
Linghu Qingzhu paused, turned his head and looked at her.
Fairy Zixia retracted her gaze and looked at her, stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Linghu Qingzhu didn't say anything.
Fairy Zixia blinked her eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't kiss your Feiyang."
The morning sun peeked out from the horizon, dyeing the clouds red.
At this time, someone suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, the people from Penglai Fairy Island are coming!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy sounds on the top of the mountain suddenly quieted down.
Everyone looked up.
A gigantic spirit turtle appeared from the high clouds, riding on the clouds and mist, and then slowly descended here.
Before they got close, everyone felt a huge spiritual pressure coming towards them.
The spirit turtle slowly landed on an open space not far away.
Several old men in blue robes, along with a group of young men and women, came out of the house on the back of the spirit turtle and landed on the ground.
Then, the huge spirit turtle shrank rapidly.
Bai Yishan and his four Confucian and Taoist friends immediately stopped talking and went to greet him.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue Confucian robe immediately walked out from the group of people on Penglai Fairy Island, bowed to the five people, and said with a loud smile: "Brother Bai, Brother Zhu, Brother Zhang, Brother Tang, you are here. Fairy Lianxue, I really didn't expect that you would come today as well."
This person's name is Su Zhe. He is an elder of Penglai Fairy Island and also a person who practices Confucianism and Taoism.
Penglai Fairy Island is located in the ocean, and there is still a lot of cultural atmosphere left there.
Therefore, his cultivation speed has always been the fastest among the few people.
"Brother Su!"
Several people bowed and greeted each other.
Bai Yishan exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then immediately went to meet the leader of the Penglai Fairy Island team, Jia Xun, the owner of Wuhua Island. "Senior Jia personally brought people here to administer justice today. I am very grateful to you."
Jia Xun was much older than him. He nodded slightly and said, "I am not here today just to help you solve the conflict. All of my disciples want to travel and broaden their horizons."
Bai Yishan glanced at the young man and woman behind him and said with a smile, "Young man, you really should come out and see the world."
At this time, an old man with a long beard behind Jia Xun suddenly said in a cold voice: "Bai Yishan, you people from Dayan are too bold, aren't you? You killed so many people from Piao Miao Xian Zong in one go. One of them was the family member of my disciple."
Bai Yishan fixed his eyes, looked at him, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Senior Sun, I'm sure Brother Su has already told you the whole story of this matter. We, Da Yan, are only protecting ourselves and fighting against invaders within our own territory, so we are not at fault."
The old man with a long beard looked cold, and when he was about to speak, Jia Xun frowned slightly and said calmly, "Elder Sun, let's discuss this matter after the people from Piao Miao Xian Zong arrive. We will decide who is right and who is wrong later."
The old man with a long beard snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Jia Xun walked forward, bowed to Fairy Lianxue, who was wearing a snow-white Confucian robe, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Fairy Lianxue to be here too. I heard that Fairy Liuyun is leading your clan this time, so why do I only see Fairy Lianxue alone?"
Fairy Lianxue bowed her head slightly as a greeting, and said gently, "Senior Sister Liuyun is still leading the team behind, and I am here first."
Jia Xun smiled and said, "I heard that even Fairy Qin Yao is here this time?"
Fairy Lianxue nodded and said, "Junior Sister Qinyao is indeed here too. She must have gotten tired of staying in the sect, so she came out for a walk."
Jia Xun smiled and nodded: "If it weren't for the retreat, it would be a bit boring to stay in the sect for a long time."
Then he sighed and said, "Some time ago, my young master went to your sect and wanted to invite Fairy Qin Yao to visit my Penglai Fairy Island for a few days, but unfortunately he didn't even see her."
Fairy Lianxue smiled slightly and said softly, "Junior Sister Qinyao should be practicing new skills recently, so she is quite busy. It is difficult for us sisters to see her. We were actually quite surprised that she took the initiative to ask to come out this time."
The two of them laughed and chatted for a few more words, and Jia Xun suddenly said to the back: "Yu'er, why don't you come and meet Fairy Lianxue."
As soon as the words fell, a tall and handsome young man in white came out from behind and said with a bow, "Xuanyuan Yu, meet Senior Lianxue."
Fairy Lianxue smiled and glanced at him for a few times, saying, "The Saint Son's demeanor has become more and more outstanding. I guess your cultivation has improved a lot during this period of time, right?"
Xuanyuan Yu said modestly: "I have spent a lot of the sect's natural resources and treasures to make a little progress. I can't compare with the seniors."
Fairy Lianxue said gently, "Son, there is no need to be modest. With your talent and speed of cultivation, there are few people in the Jiuzhou Continent who can compare with you. Even those people in my Jiutian Yaotai cannot be said to be able to surpass you."
Jia Xun suddenly said in a joking tone: "Yu'er has always admired the fairies in your clan. He is not young anymore. I wonder if Fairy Lianxue can help arrange a marriage for my Yu'er?"
Fairy Lianxue was slightly startled when these words came out, then she smiled and said, "Master Jia, you need to tell my Senior Sister Liuyun about this matter. I have always been a loner and never meddle in other people's business."
Jia Xun smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay, I'll mention it again when Fairy Liuyun comes later. But Fairy Lianxue has to say something good for us, so as not to upset Fairy Liuyun."
Fairy Lianxue nodded slightly.
At this time, Xuanyuan Yu suddenly said respectfully: "Uncle Jia, please talk to Senior Lianxue first. I want to go somewhere else."
Jia Xun glanced at him and said, "Don't go too far. Fairy Liuyun and the others should be here soon."
Xuanyuan Yu nodded, walked to Bai Yishan, and said with a bow, "Senior Bai, I want to ask, isn't Miss Yue Yao here?"
Bai Yishan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Of course I am here."
"oh?"
Xuanyuan Yu turned his gaze to the Great Flame practitioner over there again.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the two girls in white dresses with cold temperaments.
"I see."
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment before he bowed to Bai Yishan and walked towards the two girls in white dresses alone.
When he came closer, both girls looked at her.
Xuanyuan Yu exchanged glances with the two of them, then fixed his gaze on the face of the cold girl in the front. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Yue Yao's real body... is injured?"
Yue Yao didn't answer, turned around and left coldly.
Xuanyuan Yu's eyes moved, and he spoke again: "Miss Yueyao, don't worry. I didn't come here to laugh at you. I just wanted to apologize to you. What happened back then was also caused by me..."
Yue Yao seemed not to hear anything. She walked to a big tree and stood there coldly.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at her figure, sighed slightly, did not continue to pester her, and turned away.
When he returned to the place where everyone was on Penglai Fairy Island, a hunchbacked old man came over and whispered, "Sir, that woman is Yue Yao? Could it be that because she married a mortal and felt that her original body was dirty, she didn't bring her original body here? Or, did something happen to her original body?"
Xuanyuan Yu glanced at the snow-white figure under the big tree and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with me. I went to see her just to apologize to her for what happened back then. After all, it is my fault that she is in this situation now."
The hunchbacked old man immediately said, "How could it be caused by you, young master! She just doesn't know what's good for her! If you want to blame someone, blame those people from Piao Miao Xian Zong for trying to curry favor with us. It has nothing to do with you, young master!"
Then he sneered, "She must be full of regrets now, right? She was known as the best fairy in the world, but she was blind and fell into depravity, and married a mortal. What happened? Now she is in trouble, and where is her husband? He probably can't even climb this mountain. If she had married the young master, who would dare to bully her now?"
Xuanyuan Yu looked indifferent and said nothing more.
The hunchbacked old man's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Young Master, do you really have no feelings for her at all? She is in trouble now, and will soon be captured by the people of Piaomiao Xianzong. It is hard to predict whether she will live or die. If you ask, perhaps you can get her from Piaomiao Xianzong..."
At this point, he laughed sinisterly and said, "At first she was aloof and proud, and looked down on you. When you ask her to be your servant, let's see how she can still be aloof!"
Xuanyuan Yu frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "Am I that boring?"
Then he looked up at the sky, his eyes shining brightly: "My Xuanyuan Yu's woman must be the most noble and outstanding woman in the world. She was indeed qualified at the beginning, but now... she has lost the resources of Piaomiao Xianzong in the past few years, and she has ruined her future by practicing that kind of skills. I guess her current cultivation level is even worse than that of my junior brothers and sisters..."
"How can I, Xuanyuan Yu, be interested in a woman like this?"
