Strange mountains and rivers

Turning back suddenly, he saw a beautiful landscape standing there, which made Chen Huaisheng a little dazzled for a moment.

A goose-yellow embroidered twig-pleated Ruyi Liuxian skirt stretches to the floor, and is covered with a bright blue velvet cloak. A corner of the sword scabbard is vaguely exposed from the gap on the side of the cloak.

It is still a cute double-ringed bun, but it has evolved into a double-ringed fairy bun, which is a bit more charming of a young woman.

The pretty lips full of surprise were slightly open. She held a hooded fence in one hand and held it tightly with the other. She walked quickly for a few steps, seemed to realize something again, slowed down again, and walked over pretending to be calm. .

"Junior sister Chi Mei?!"

"Brother Huaisheng, who else could it be if you weren't my little sister? When did you arrive in Beijing?"

Xuan Chimei's mood suddenly improved. If no one else was present, she would have clung to Brother Huaisheng's arm and cheered.

"Well, I just came to Beijing yesterday." Chen Huaisheng looked the girl up and down.

It has changed a lot. We were only 12 years old back then, and we were separated for three years. Although we exchanged letters, they were far less intuitive than in person.

Her height suddenly jumped up a lot. Three years ago, the girl would have been about four feet tall at most, but now she is close to five feet, reaching a normal height.

Her face has also changed a lot. If three years ago she was just a little girl who had not yet grown up, but now she is a full-grown girl.

The cheeks are still slightly thin, the forehead is very bright, and the tips of the hair hang down from the temples. I guess this should be the most fashionable hairstyle in Bianjing City. The eyebrows are slanted, thin but not light, and the overhanging nose is a bit upturned. Combined with the medium-sized cherry lips, it makes people look very comfortable at first glance, and the more they look at it, the more attractive it becomes.

What shocked Chen Huaisheng the most was the aura exuding from the other party. There was no doubt that he was already a level more advanced than himself, which made Chen Huaisheng unable to help but feel a little frustrated.

I always thought that I was a child of luck, but I didn't expect that if I don't get along with the person in front of me, it seems that people will be suspicious again.

The fifth level of Qi refining!

After three years of separation, this girl actually rushed from the second level of Qi refining to the fifth level of Qi refining, but this girl must have just turned sixteen.

In comparison, Kou Qing, Tong Tong, and even Yan Zi are probably much inferior.

As if aware of Chen Huaisheng's gaze, Xuan Chimei smiled slightly, "Why, Brother Huaisheng can break through the second level in a row, but the little girl is not allowed to enter?"

"No, sister Chi Mei, you are too exaggerated. I originally wanted to show off in front of the girl, but I can only stop and feel sad." Chen Huaisheng also responded with a smile.

Several disciples nearby saw the most popular genius disciple in the sect in recent years laughing and joking with the newly arrived man from the Chonghua Sect, and felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

It can be said that everyone who is a disciple of the Nine Lotus Sect knows this junior sister in front of her. Even in the capital city, she is still famous.

The sixteen-year-old Qi Refining Level 5, looking at the entire capital city, maybe only the Zhao family or the Tianyun Sect and the Huaxi Sword Sect have talents who can match him.

But at least so far, I have not heard of such a person in these sect families.

Xuan Chimei also noticed the gazes of several Zhike disciples. She nodded with a smile and called her senior, and said hello to several disciples. Several Zhike disciples also responded politely.

At this time, Xuan Chimei invited Chen Huaisheng in, "Brother Huaisheng, please come in."

"You don't need to report before entering your main forum?" Chen Huaisheng asked, raising his eyebrows.

"The main altar is also divided into an inner court, an atrium, and an outer court. Generally, guests can enter the outer court when they arrive. The atrium and inner court need to be reported." Xuan Chimei explained: "Let's go, I haven't seen Brother Huaisheng for a long time. Yes, I really want to talk to Brother Huaisheng."

"Why don't we go out for a walk?" Chen Huaisheng looked at the time. It had just passed and it was still early. At this time, Bianjing City was starting to get lively.

"Okay, my little sister is afraid that Brother Huaisheng won't want to go shopping." Xuan Chimei was overjoyed. At this time, she was exactly like a little girl meeting her lover for the first time, with a bit of longing in her joy, "But it will take a while. Wait, let me go and talk to a few of them first. Hey, I was the one who invited them, but it took a lot of effort to get them together..."

It seems that your arrival is a bit unlucky?

Xuan Chimei asked Chen Huaisheng to wait, then he rushed into the archway happily and disappeared.

Seeing Xuan Chimei's disappearing figure with a startled glance, Chen Huaisheng smiled and shook his head.

A disciple next to him couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted and asked: "This junior brother, are you familiar with junior sister Xuan?"

Chen Huaisheng certainly knows that Xuan Chimei must be a very popular and prominent figure now. Compared to a character like himself who can only be valued in the Chonghua sect, it is very different. People are interested in Xuanchimei. Come.

"Junior sister Xuan and I are from the same hometown, so she can be regarded as my younger sister." Chen Huaisheng explained.

A group of Jiulian Sect disciples were obviously not satisfied with this explanation, but they could not force Chen Huaisheng to explain his relationship with Xuan Chimei, so they could only stop asking more questions with a heart full of gossip.

Xuan Chimei came out quickly, but there were a few people who followed her out, but they were all acquaintances, or acquaintances from the ancient temple's obscene ceremony three years ago.

Wei Wuyang, Xu Beihuai, Ling Fan, and Shu Zidan, who had a certain impression, and a young man who also had a deep impression. Well, he seemed to be a disciple who had some connection with the Xi family in Dangcheng. What was his name? I only know that my surname is Yue, but I can’t remember my name.

After not seeing each other for three years, Chen Huaisheng was very happy to see this group of old friends who had performed obscene rituals in the ancient temple, and stepped forward to say hello.

But just by looking at it, one can tell that three years later, everyone has begun to widen the gap.

Needless to say, Xuan Chimei, Wei Wuyang and Shu Zidan performed generally. They are both at the first level of Qi Refining, which should be the most normal performance. Xu Beihuai and Ling Fan are both at the second level of Qi Refining, which is considered a good performance, but this The initial quarrel between the two left a deep impression on Chen Huaisheng, and the disciple named Yue was also at the second level of Qi Refining.

Chen Huaisheng had the best impression of Wei Wuyang, and the little fat man was also the kindest to Chen Huaisheng at first, while Xu Beihuai and Ling Fan were more aloof.

Countless memories suddenly flooded into Chen Huaisheng's mind. Someone must have been left behind. Chen Huaisheng remembered that there must have been eight or nine people in their group. There was a girl named Yao and a girl named Zhang, but they were both missing.

To be precise, compared with Xuan Chimei, everyone is falling behind, without exception.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng, everyone had mixed emotions.

Wei Wuyang was relatively happy, while Xu Caihuai, Ling Fan, Shu Zidan and others had mixed feelings.

When Chen Huaisheng wanted to join the Jiulian Sect but was unable to do so, he had to join the Chonghua Sect. Everyone felt that he was already twenty years old and had not yet entered the Taoism, so he would probably be able to hang out in the Chonghua Sect as a Taoist.

Who would have thought that three years later, several of them would be at the first or second level of Qi refining, and they all felt that their progress was smooth and their performance was excellent. However, this one was already at the fourth level of Qi refining. It is said that he had been in seclusion for a year and a half, breaking the second level in a row. It's so heavy that it's unbelievable.

Is it because he has accumulated so much knowledge, or is it because the Chonghua sect teaches Taoism well? It was hard to figure it out for a while.

But no matter what, the twenty-three-year-old fourth level of Qi Refining is still amazing. I have been fifteen or sixteen years old in the past three years, but if I want to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, it will be quite smooth. , I'm afraid he must be twenty-five years old.

The happiest and most envious person was Wei Wuyang.

Three years have passed, and he has just succeeded in refining qi. He is the slowest among this group of people except for those who have failed in refining qi. Seeing that Chen Huaisheng is so old but can come first, it is heart-breaking. The feeling is too uncomfortable.

After the greetings, Xuan Chimei said that she wanted Chen Huaisheng to accompany her for shopping and would not go out with them.

Several people nodded in agreement. Even the one named Yue had deep unwillingness and gloom in his eyes, but he did not dare to say no in front of Xuan Chimei.

From Changlefang, you can go east to Xuandemen, which is the northern end of Royal Street. A series of government offices are on this line, facing south and facing north. Far away from the government offices are the most prosperous buildings and halls. .

The colorful door knockers are up to three stories high, and are tied with colorful ropes on both sides. The various small flags on the colorful ropes are actually the signboard of the building, and it can also be regarded as an advertisement.

During the Chinese New Year, it becomes more and more prosperous and lively.

At this time, both mortals and cultivators are not as particular as usual. After working hard for a whole year, everyone hopes to relax during this year. No matter how tight the money is, they still have to make a lot of efforts. , have a happy New Year.

"Over there is the Lefeng Building, the most luxurious restaurant in the capital. There are two buildings facing each other. The lower right is a restaurant for mortals, and the left is slightly higher. The four-story building is the best place for monks to entertain banquets. There are various inscriptions on it. There are hundreds of pages in the book, and some people once had a sudden enlightenment after reading it..."

Seeing Xuan Chimei's brows full of joy, and the light and playful tone in his words revealing every bit of it, Chen Huaisheng was also a little intoxicated as he introduced the situation to himself as he walked.

I once whipped a famous horse because I was drunk, and I was often afraid that my passion would lead to a beautiful woman. I may have felt a little like this.

Fortunately, Bianliang City was big enough and there were enough people. Kou Qing and Tong Tong were all in this city, but the bustling crowd did not make himself and Xuan Chimei the focus.

"Sister Chi Mei, don't tell me that this is how you broke through." Chen Huaisheng said with emotion, "Three years of triple level, no wonder I think Wu Yang, Xu Beihuai and Shu Zidan are all distanced from you."

One sentence made Xuan Chimei's original expression of excitement and joy dim. She pouted and said nothing for a while. After a long time, she said leisurely: "Then what should I do? Should I stop and wait for them? I have also helped them, but …”

When practicing this kind of thing, help and support will also depend on the situation. Help yourself to join the Chonghua sect, so that you can spread your wings and fly high, and you will benefit a lot. But if you want to be specific about who you want to help to achieve enlightenment and break through the realm, it depends on chance and Method, Chen Huaisheng didn't think Xuan Chimei could grasp the secret.
