The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

It was like a gust of wind, but there was nothing. It took Nishang a long time to recover, and she slowly sat down against a tree for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, Yichen packed up everything and took Fu Xiqin with him. The disciples went down to the mountain to practice, which usually lasted for three months or three years. This time, he didn't know when he would come back and stayed at Zixiao Peak. Eight years later, I suddenly felt a little reluctant to let go.

He didn't see his master this morning. Yichen took one last look at Yaoguang Palace, then took the flying sword and went down the mountain.

Along the way, the sea of ​​clouds was slowly rolling in, just like the last time he went down the mountain, but no one blocked his way anymore.

On the way back to Ningcun, his mood was extremely complicated. His mind kept thinking about the last time he went down the mountain with his junior sister. Everything was still as fresh as yesterday.

This time, he wanted to go somewhere far away, so he went back to Ningcun to see his mother-in-law first, and then went all the way north. He did not go to Dongjun because he was afraid that seeing the familiar old scene would remind him of that time again. Going to Tianmen, the laughter and laughter with my junior sister all the way, now every time I think about it, it only makes me sad.

It was slightly cool at the end of autumn, and as he headed north, he walked farther and farther, but he didn't know where he was going in the end. Although the scenery he saw along the way was different, it still felt like the time he went to Dongjun with his junior sisters and the others.

Shaking his head, Yichen stopped thinking about it. He took a deep breath and thought that Shen Jing had left Ningcun a few years ago. He didn't know where she was now or whether he could meet her this time.

Finally, seven days later, he came to a small town called "Qinghe". The town was not big, but there were people coming and going. Although it was late autumn, the weeping willows swayed by the river and the lotus leaves in the lotus pond were endless green, like The turn of spring and summer is normal.

The town is paved with bluestones, which is quite antique. The breeze along the way is refreshing. When Yichen comes to the town, for some reason, he clearly has come here for the first time, but he feels that he has been here a long time ago, as if it was the twilight rain. , walking with one person holding an umbrella.

"Hey! Mr. and Mrs., do you want to come and see the jewelry?"

When Yichen was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a shout. It turned out to be an old man who set up a stall selling jewelry on the roadside. He saw a woman in purple and a man in green walking over. The old man immediately smiled and said, "This girl is born with such a great talent." She is as beautiful as a fairy, and she and this young man are truly a match made in heaven. Look at this pair of jade pieces, called 'Tongxin Pei'. Wearing these jade pieces, the girl and the young man will surely be united and grow old together..."

"This jade is so beautiful..." The woman held the crescent moon jade as if she couldn't put it down. The man next to her smiled and said, "Old man, how much money did I get for this jade? I bought it."

When Yichen passed by the two of them, he smiled softly. Why was this scene so familiar, as if he had actually experienced it in a dream a long time ago.

…

At that time, dusk was approaching, and the cool breeze was blowing on the face, which was very refreshing. However, Xiao Yichen always had a faint sadness in his eyebrows and heart. He had been out for seven days and didn't know where he was going.

Xuanqingmen disciples must keep three points in mind when going down the mountain to practice. First, you must not do anything that will disgrace the teacher. Second, don’t cause trouble outside. The third and most important thing is not to associate with people in the devil's path.

After remembering these three points clearly, you can look for your own way to break through. Often, in cultivation, people's breakthroughs in the realm of Taoism are assisted by pills. However, since Ling Yin does not agree with pills, then someone now gives him a breakthrough. This elixir can immediately help him break through to the realm of cultivation, but he will never take it, even if there is no harm. Because he didn't want to disgrace his master's name, lest people turn around and say that Ling Yin gave up on alchemy while his disciple secretly took the elixir outside.

Of course, in addition to elixirs that can help cultivators break through their realms, there are also some heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the world that can also help people break through their realms. These heavenly materials and earthly treasures are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and most of them will not have any bad effects. It's just that there is a saying in the world that "Elixirs are easy to obtain, but heavenly treasures are hard to find." This means that these heavenly materials and earthly treasures are often difficult to find. Without chance and good luck, they cannot be obtained by force.

When dusk fell, Yichen came to an inn. The inn had two floors. For some reason, in a small town that was usually deserted, many strange people came to this small inn. It's almost packed.

Yichen casually asked for a seat by the window and listened to what those people were talking about. Only one person said, "Have you heard? Seven days later, Xiao Yichen, the eldest disciple of Fairy Miaoyin, will meet the Seven Ghosts of Xuangu in Pingding Mountain. Let’s start a life-and-death duel, do you think he will go as promised?”

As soon as these words came out, the whole inn became quiet, and Yichen almost choked on a sip of tea. When did he say that he was going to duel with those seven ghosts of the Xuan Valley? He immediately thought that someone must be impersonating him, so he remained calm to see what was going on.

I saw a bearded man sitting in the southeast. The man took a sip of wine and said loudly, "I don't think he will go. Young people are young people after all. The Seven Ghosts of Xuangu have been famous for a long time. Let's talk about seven. He is not easy to deal with. Since he has become famous in Tianmenhui and is now in full swing, how can he ruin his own reputation? "

As soon as this statement came out, someone in the inn immediately nodded in agreement. It seemed to be the case, but an old man with a white beard sitting in the northeast shook his head, "That's not necessarily true. Fairy Miaoyin has a profound knowledge of Taoism. Xiao Yichen has already If he let it out, how could he break the promise? Wouldn't it ruin his reputation as a master?"

Many people agreed with the old man's view. At this time, due west, there was a jade-faced young man sitting under the window. He also said, "Whether it is right or wrong, won't you know in seven days? By then all the heroes will gather together." Pingdingshan, if Xiao Yichen doesn’t come, how can he be justified?”

"He will go.

Just when everyone couldn't agree, they saw a slightly drunk man in Tsing Yi walking down from the second floor. The man's sharp eyebrows and starry eyes were clearly very handsome, but he looked slightly drunk at the moment, coupled with the mustache around his mouth. It makes him look a little lonely.

Yichen couldn't help but was startled. This man looked familiar. He remembered that it was when he went to Tianmen to compete in martial arts two years ago. The strange man who came to Xuanqingmen was heard to be someone who was expelled from Tianmen a few years ago. How could they meet each other? Years ago, he looked much more downtrodden.

The man in green came down the stairs and saw him. He smiled softly, "Brother, can I sit here?"

"please."

Yichen raised his hand, smiled slightly, and said to the counter, "Shop, bring some jars of good wine." After saying that, he turned back and said with a smile, "We seem to have met somewhere, do you remember."

"It seems familiar." The man in green clothes was slightly drunk, smiled, and said, "I'm going back to Sique, I wonder what you call me?" Yichen smiled and said, "Liao Wuchen, brother Sique, please."

"please."

The two of them exchanged cups, and Yichen smiled and said, "There are people in this world whose hair is as white as new, and there are people whose heads are as white as before. I never thought that Brother Sique and I met for the first time today, and we felt like old friends at the first sight."

"It's hard to replace a confidant with a thousand cups. Brother Wuchen, let me toast you again."

"please."

The two of them drank several jars of wine in a row. Xiao Yichen was really drunk. The man sweeping the floor next to him couldn't help but smile inwardly. He glanced sideways at Gui Sique, thinking that this man just cheated him into drinking, so he was lying here. He didn't leave for a few days, calling everyone he saw brother, and still feeling like old friends at the first sight. What a silly boy. Alas, there are really everyone in this world. He carried a sword on his back and said that he came from the Xuanmen of Immortality.

Yichen smiled and said, "I just heard from Brother Sique that Xiao Yichen will definitely go to the appointment at Pingdingshan. I wonder why Brother Sique is so sure?"

Gui Si took a sip of wine and said drunkenly, "The young master of Xuan Valley, his name is Ouyang Bai. He is a disciple of the Xuantian Ling Sect. He has been a disciple for five years, but he is very capable. The Seven Ghosts of Xuan Valley, He is the master of the valley.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole inn suddenly became quiet. Xuantian Lingzong has recently become famous in the Northern Territory. Two years ago, they won one of the Eight Banners in Tianmen Huiwu, and they have faintly joined the four major sects. The momentum of competition.

The outer sect disciples of Xuantian Ling Sect are not like the outer disciples of other sects with humble status. After entering the sect, they do not stay in the sect and have their own territory outside. Therefore, in a sense, Xuantian Ling Sect The disciples of the outer sect of the sect have even higher status than the disciples of the inner sect.

But what is incomprehensible is that the four major sects can achieve their current status because they have been inherited for thousands of years. And such a small sect suddenly rises at a speed that is really amazing. They even recruit more disciples than the four major sects. The sects are even more demanding, and not everyone can join the Xuantian Ling Sect.

At this moment, Yichen also held the wine glass and began to meditate. Xuantian Lingzong, he naturally remembered clearly. The last time Tianmen competed in martial arts, this unknown sect in the world became a blockbuster. In the end, it was defeated by Qinghong Sect. But that day he I always feel that Xuantian Lingzong seems to be defeated intentionally, hiding its talents in its sheath for the time being, and not competing with the four major sects.

Now I heard that someone pretended to be me and wanted to duel with the disciples of Xuantian Lingzong's outer sect. What happened? It seemed that he had to go to Pingdingshan himself. No matter who impersonated him, he must not allow anyone to damage the reputation of his master.

The night was gradually falling outside, so he stayed at the inn tonight. The next morning, he heard that Guisi was going to Pingdingshan, so he happened to be with his new friend.

Pingding Mountain is far away in the North Territory. Even if he traveled north for seven days before, it would still take seven days to get to Pingding Mountain no matter how fast he went. The ancient land of Xianyuan is divided into five major territories, east, west, south, north, and middle, which are called Xianyuan Five Territories. Each domain has its own rules, and even the Tianmen cannot easily interfere. The Xuanqing Sect intimidates various sects in the Middle Earth, but when it comes to the Northern Territory, everything may not be hindered.

Of course, the ancient land of Xianyuan is vast and vast, and it is far more than the five major areas. However, these five places are relatively prosperous and are also the birthplaces of the cultivation method passed down by the Qing Emperor to the world. In the more remote places, various sects of the devil are entrenched. , people in Xuanmen generally don’t get involved easily.

Seven days later, Xiao Yichen and Guisi had arrived at Pingding Mountain. The top of the mountain was not as steep as other steep mountains. It was relatively open and flat, but the cold wind blowing up from the bottom of the mountain was extremely cold.

This morning, there were already tens of thousands of people on the top of the mountain. Looking around, there were dense crowds of people. Various sects, large and small, including Xuanmen who did not care about the world, or martial arts sects with swords and swords in the rivers and lakes, were all here. I just wanted to see who the rumored only disciple of Fairy Miaoyin, the most popular young man in the past two years, was, and whether he had the guts to duel with the Seven Ghosts of Xuan Valley.

"Brother Wuchen, look over there."

Gui Si pointed to a few boulders in the distance and saw seven weird people sitting on the boulders. They were all different in height, short, fat and thin. The weapons they held in their hands were also of various shapes and weird shapes. But it was undeniable that although these seven people were not He is an authentic Xuanmen person, but his inner breath is very stable, and his Taoism and martial arts skills will not be that low.

Yichen focused his gaze, thinking that those were the Seven Ghosts of the Xuan Valley in the Northern Territory, and he would find out later who was impersonating him and what they wanted to do.

More than an hour has passed, and there are still many people rushing up the mountain, but "Xiao Yichen" has never appeared. The wind on the top of the mountain is cold and cold, and the seven ghosts of Xuangu have always closed their eyes and sat on the boulder, motionless, not even blinking. He never opened it.

Another half hour passed, and it was almost noon. However, there were only people from various sects all over the mountain, but "Xiao Yichen" did not arrive. Everyone couldn't help but start talking.

"Not long ago, Xiao Yichen threatened to duel with the seven ghosts of Xuangu here today. How come it's almost noon and I don't see this person coming?"

"Tell me, this young man has always been very energetic. Isn't it because he was quick to talk for a while, but now he is afraid?"

"This man, will he come or not? He has already spoken out, but now he is hiding again. Is he playing tricks on us from the Northern Territory!"

For a while, the discussion in the crowd gradually became a little fierce. People from countless sects came here today, waiting for the duel between Xiao Yichen and the seven ghosts of Xuangu. The words were let out. If this person didn't come, what would happen? Aren't you just fooling around with people from all the different sects in the Northern Territory? To put it bluntly, if your reputation is ruined and you offend people from all sects, you will never be able to live a good life in the future, unless you never come to the Northern Territory.

The shadow of the sun moved westward, and it was gradually past noon. However, there was still no sign of "Xiao Yichen" on the entire top of the mountain. Finally, someone got impatient with waiting, and saw a big man with a beard yelling, "Fuck!" ! This brat from China is clearly playing tricks on us! He made us come all the way here and waited here for a long time in vain!"

"This kid is too arrogant! He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he has some skills!"

"I do admire Fairy Miaoyin's Taoist skills, but now she seems to be too dismissive of us!"

For a moment, the entire mountaintop was agitated. Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Yichen couldn't help but frowned. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something! There was no one pretending to be him at all, but someone who released false news to lure him in, and then used the crowd at this moment to force him to come out and fight the seven ghosts of the Xuan Valley!

Thinking of this, Yichen's brows furrowed even deeper. Who is setting this up? What is the purpose? Seeing that the situation is getting out of control, I can't explain it now. No, I'm afraid I have to go out and "take on the challenge". These people have already been involved in the master's head. I go out to fight now to see if I can get rid of the person who set up the situation behind it. Find it out.

Just as he stepped forward, a clear man's laughter suddenly came from the distance, "I'm sorry, everyone, Mr. Xiao is a little late today, please forgive me."
