The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 17: Not a cold day

"It's ridiculous. Could it be that the inner sect assessment can also be messed up?"

At the beginning of Xue Yongge, some disciples also shouted.

Junior Sister Yushan was a little disappointed when she found out that someone took the inner sect assessment first, but when she saw that the person was Jing Jiu, all her disappointment turned into surprise.

"How is it impossible? Who in Nansong Pavilion doesn't know Junior Brother Jing's level? I think you are just jealous." She looked at the disciples headed by Xue Yongge, and said with a sneer, "Do you think that you have mocked Junior Brother too much on weekdays? , feel a little ashamed at this time?"

During the two years in Nansong Pavilion, Jing Jiu would occasionally help these fellow disciples answer questions. Although the frequency was not many, it was a very important help for these young people who had never been in contact with cultivation. Some disciples would choose to forget the help and treat Jing Jiu as a stranger, and some disciples would even ridicule Jing Jiu a lot because of the favor they received, but in the end, more people would still keep that gratitude in their hearts. They stood on the side of Junior Sister Yushan, and they were speechless about Xue Yongge and those disciples, and cheered for Jing Jiu, who had already entered the training hall, and shouted.

"I thought he was unpopular."

Hearing the noise from outside the training hall, Ming Xingguo was a little surprised.

The immortal master from Xilai Peak smiled and said: "After all, he is also a celebrity."

After saying this, the two looked at the closed door.

They were very curious about whether Jing Jiu could pass the inner sect's examination, and their concern even surpassed that of Liu Shisui a year ago.

The outer disciples of Nansongting this period are very famous in Nine Peaks.

The most famous one is naturally Daoist Liu Shisui, followed by Jing Jiu. Everyone knows that there is an incomparably handsome young man in white clothes who came to Qingshan Gate, and some female disciples of Qingrong Peak even came to Nansong Pavilion a few times for some reason, just to see what he looks like.

It's just that Jing Jiu only stayed in his small courtyard, and the female disciples of Qingrong Peak had to return disappointed.

If it's just that he was born extremely beautiful, it wouldn't make Jing Jiu such a big name. The key is that he is very lazy...

This kind of contrast is really suitable to be the content of discussion.

Just like what Ming Xingguo said, many people thought that Jing Jiu's popularity should be bad, and it was precisely because of these two points.

—It is shameless not to seek self-improvement, but it is easy to attract jealousy for being extremely beautiful.

Who would have imagined that now Jing Jiu not only has reached the state of holding God, but also has so many fellow disciples standing by his side.

Suddenly, a clear sword cry sounded from the closed door and spread around the cliff.

Ming Xingguo and the Xilai Peak fairy master looked at each other and smiled.

This sword cry was far worse than the sword cry caused by Liu Shisui, but it was still transparent.

At the main entrance of the sword hall, Master Lu also heard the sound of the sword, and his body suddenly relaxed, revealing an expression of emotion.

In the quiet room, Jing Jiu withdrew his gaze from the black sword tire, turned around and walked out.

Except for himself, no one knew that he didn't put his hand on the sword tire at all, let alone mobilized all his true energy.

If he did what ordinary disciples did when they participated in the inner sect assessment, he might directly melt the sword embryo into an iron ball.

From the beginning to the end, he just glanced at the sword fetus.

The door of the sword hall opened, and Master Lu walked out with Jing Jiu, and smiled at the disciples with different expressions.

Cheers sounded, and a few voices of bad luck and spitting could be vaguely heard inside.

Looking at those classmates who came forward to congratulate, Jing Jiu greeted calmly, but was a little strange.

He didn't remember dealing with these people too much, let alone having any friendship, and he only remembered two or three names of the other party.

That little girl with the plum bun is called Yushan or Jinshan

Back in the small courtyard, looking around, he was silent for a moment, then he left without any regrets.

The bamboo chair and sand table also disappeared.

The peaks of the Qingshan Mountains are surrounded by clouds and mists all year round. When they come between the legendary nine peaks, the clouds and mists will be much lighter.

The cloud layer on the top of Tianguang Peak does not disperse all year round, but it is much thinner than the rolling clouds on Yunxing Peak.

White mist slowly flows on the ground in front of the peak, like a sea of clouds, and the ancient stone gates and pavilions are looming in the distance, almost like a fairyland.

Whoosh, whoosh, the sound of piercing the sky, the sword light illuminated the top of the cliff, and the sea of clouds created waves, which gradually subsided after a while.

Five flying swords hang quietly above the sea of clouds. The styles of these flying swords are either simple and cold, or scattered, exuding an indescribable sense of coercion.

Three-foot sword!

All empty swords!

Zither sword!

Return to the sun sword!

Like the old sword!

The main swords of the peaks of the Qingshan School are nine to five.

Tianguang Peak's Chengtian Sword is the sword of the master, so it is not easy to show up.

The Forsi Sword of Shenmo Peak has already ascended to another world with Master Jingyang's uncle.

As for the Two Swords of Liangwang Peak, it has disappeared for many years, and that mountain is where young disciples practice their swordsmanship, so they usually do not participate in the discussions of the Green Mountain Sect.

But why didn't the Chao Lai Sword from Bihu Peak appear? What happened to this seventh-ranked mountain

The top of the cliff was very quiet, and no one raised any doubts about the tide coming and the sword not coming.

An old voice sounded from the three-foot sword.

Or because the shape of Shangde Peak's main sword is very square, the sound is also very square.

The owner of this voice is Qingshanzong Jianlu, the master of Shangde Peak, Yuan Qijing, who is known for his sternness and ruthlessness.

"The letter of reward and punishment has been passed on to Zhufeng a few days ago. If there is no doubt, it will be decided today."

If the head master doesn't show up, the Qingshan sect will regard Yuan Qijing as the highest, and he holds a lot of power and has a cold personality, so few people will object to his opinions.

Today is no exception, several voices sounded from those swords: "No doubt."

A gentle and pleasant voice sounded from the Jinse sword, presumably it was the peak master of Qingrong Peak.

"Many disciples from Nansong Pavilion have entered the inner sect, and there is even a talent like Liu Shisui. Nephew Lu has made a great contribution, so we might as well give more rewards."

There was no sound from the three-foot sword, and Yuan Qijing acquiesced to Qingrong Peak Lord's proposal.

This did not surprise Zhu Feng, because everyone knew that Lu from Nansong Pavilion was his personal disciple.

The voice of the master of Yunxing Peak sounded from Jiekong Sword: "After the junior uncle ascended, the reputation of my sect became more and more famous. In the past years, no one dared to disturb me for more than ten years. I am very worried about those Chaoge Toshiyan, the confrontation with the Underworld, and those monsters born from eating ice, but fortunately, there will be a twelfth lunar month after Master Zhuo, and now he is ten years old, so I am very relieved."

Peak Master Qingrong said: "Nephew Zhuo is in seclusion, and the twelfth lunar month is cultivating hard at your peak, but Liu Shisui is too young after all, should you call him to the peak in advance?"

Yuan Qijing's voice sounded again, still indifferent: "My concern is whether Liu Shisui is really born with Taoism. When Zhao Layue was born in Chaoge, I sent someone to follow him Standing by the side, I know her situation very well, but what about this Liu Shisui?"

The voice of the peak master of Qingrong Peak became a bit colder, and he said: "Senior brother, don't be suspicious. I checked Liu Shisui's situation personally, and there is no problem."

Only then did Yuan Qijing realize that she had actually visited Liu Shisui, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "When did it happen?"

The master of Qingrong Peak said, "A year ago."

Logically speaking, the peak master of Qingrong Peak has personally tested it, and the meaning of protection is so clear, Yuan Qijing should give up, but he still said: "I also checked this child, he learned some rare things before he started. I suspect that he is a spy and should be strictly investigated."

The voice of Qingrong Peak Master was not at all chaotic, and he said calmly: "Since you have checked, you should know that he is definitely not a spy."

The other three swords kept silent all the time, but the three peak masters hidden behind the swords, perhaps tens of miles away, heard the conversation clearly, and heard the hidden meaning in Qingrong Peak's words. If you don't mind, you will know that today is the case.

Sure enough, Yuan Qijing didn't speak anymore after Qingrong Peak Master's words.

However, Peak Master Qingrong did not insist on calling Liu Shisui into Nine Peaks in advance.

After a while, the five flying swords dispersed separately, and the sea of clouds on the top of the cliff returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

The top of Shangde Peak was very cold, especially when the sword light entered the stone chamber, the temperature dropped a few minutes, and a layer of frost hung on the stone wall instantly.

The main sword of this mountain responsible for monitoring the entire Qingshan Sect is named Sanchi.

The origin of the name of this sword is not taken from "there is a god three feet above the head", but "frozen three feet, it is not cold in a day".

In the depths of the cave, an old man looked at the frost on the wall and remained silent.

The master of Shangde Peak, Yuan Qijing, is in charge of the sword law, and his status in Qingshan sect is only under the head of the sect. He is cold and cold, and has always been the most feared by the younger disciples.

"It seems that the disciple named Liu Shisui is indeed the person selected in advance by a certain peak."

The middle-aged swordsman who spoke was called Chi Yan, and he was Yuan Qijing's junior brother Tongfeng. It seemed that he had attended the entire discussion.

A stern look flashed through Yuan Qijing's deep-set eyes.

Over the years, there have been more and more things like this in the Qingshan Sect. In order to ensure that the inheritance continues and can be carried forward, the peaks have long been accustomed to making arrangements in advance, looking for talented disciples in the world to give them favors, and even secretly bestowing the heart. Front edge, in the future, we will be able to snatch people at the Chengjian Conference.

The talented nephew Zhuo who is currently closed in Tianguang Peak received the jade pendant given by the head when he was six years old.

Those young people on Liangwang Peak had already been contacted by Zhu Feng before they entered the mountain gate. Even before Zhao Layue was born, she was already heavily protected by members of the Qingshan sect until she was introduced to the mountain gate at the age of twelve. The only problem is that until now, no one knows exactly which peak Zhao Layue was discovered by. The answer to the mystery may only be revealed at the Chengjian Conference a year later.

Of course, due to the rules of the Qingshan Sect, even if these preparations were made in advance, Zhufeng might not be able to snatch the disciple he likes, but it is always better than no preparation.

The words Chi Yan said were based on this kind of judgment, but he was still very curious why the senior brother stopped talking after Qingrong Peak Lord said that sentence, did the senior brother already know that Liu Shisui What kind of breath method did the disciple practice in advance

"Yumen breathing method."

Yuan Qijing's voice was very cold, as if mixed with wind and snow.

Chi Yan was slightly shocked when he heard the words, and thought that Liu Shisui was the one chosen by the head, no wonder Peak Master Qingrong didn't point it out, and the senior brother didn't continue.

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful, and also slightly annoyed.

It seems that in the Sword Inheritance Conference a year later, neither the senior brother nor himself will be able to win Liu Shisui.

No matter how special the status of Shangde Peak in Qingshan Sect is, how can it be compared with Tianguang Peak where the head is located.

"I already have Martial Nephew Zhuo, half of the disciples on Liangwang Peak belong to him, and now I still need Liu Shisui..."

Chi Yan sighed, and said, "Since that's the case, we can't miss another natural Dao Seed anyway."

Having said that, he doesn't have much confidence. Looking at the peaks of Qingshan, who doesn't want Zhao Layue to inherit the sword

He thought about one thing, and said: "Nephew Lu has been really good in Nansong Pavilion for the past two years. I heard that another person passed the inner sect examination. Shall I go and observe?"

Yuan Qijing said blankly, "What's your name?"

Chi Yan said, "Jing Jiu."

Yuan Qijing snorted coldly and said, "That slacker?"
