Chapter 21 Seven

However, the person who came today was not Yang Xiaoran, but a junior brother under Yang Xiaoran, who was probably supervising him on behalf of Yang Xiaoran.

Yichen only asked why Yang Xiaoran didn't come, and didn't ask any more questions, so he went to the Xiancao Garden in the back mountain. Another three days passed. During these three days, he was in the Xiancao Garden during the day. He did hard labor, and at night he went back to the house and took out the black bronze mirror to practice.

Unknowingly, it was late autumn, and half a month had passed since the last final exam. On this day, Yichen came to the fairy grass garden and heard someone talking about something in the distance.

"In three days, the Xuan Qing Ceremony will be held once every sixty years, have you heard? This time, in addition to the grand ceremony in previous years, I heard that the seven lords will also accept disciples, so this time, it will be our Xuan Guan disciples, You can also go up and have a look.”

"Then what are you doing? Please figure out what's going on in this garden. The grand ceremony has nothing to do with us. Just this place alone will take at least ten days and a half."

The two of them were sprinkling water and weeding while talking. Yichen listened carefully from a distance, walked over slowly, and said with a smile, "Brothers, do you want me to help?"

When the two saw that he was the new disciple this time, the man on the left raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you the winner of this final test? Why are you here doing hard work in the garden?"

The senior brother next to him smiled and said, "Hey! I know this kid. He has been here for two or three months and can't do anything. He was beaten until his nose was black and his eyes were purple every time. But during the final exam last time, I heard that The man surnamed Zhao practiced the Qi Condensation Technique in advance, which caused him to suddenly go crazy and bleed from the seven orifices. But this guy got a huge advantage. Why didn't we have such good luck in the past? Now we have to do hard labor every day. "

Yichen smiled and said that no matter how lucky he was, he still had to do hard labor.

The senior brother turned around again, smiled at him and said, "It's okay, just go and do your thing. We can do it ourselves here." ❋

"Okay. Yichen nodded and smiled, pretending to leave, and asked again, "Ah, by the way, I just heard from two senior brothers over there that there will be a grand ceremony in three days. What is it? "

The two senior brothers looked at him strangely after hearing this. The senior brother on the left asked, "Didn't your senior brother tell you?"

Yichen shook his head, showing a clueless look on his face, "No, senior brother only asked me to come over and take care of the fairy grass garden."

The two looked at each other and smiled. The senior brother on the right said, "Our Xuanqing Sect has a grand ceremony every sixty years. It has been sixty years. This time, because the seven lords have accepted disciples, our Xuanguan disciples I am also lucky enough to be able to go to the main peak to see..."

Yichen listened carefully, pretending not to know anything on his face, but thinking carefully in his heart, you are such a good Yang Xiaoran, no wonder you have been assigned more and more labor tasks for yourself in the past few days, it turned out that you were deliberately not allowed to go The main peak, suddenly, he remembered the girl with fluttering feathers more than three months ago in his mind.

"My name is Nishang. Remember, it's the fairy's sleeves fluttering in the wind, just like the colorful clothes and feathers dancing..."

After coming back to his senses, Yichen said with a smile, "Thank you two senior brothers for telling me, okay, I'll go over there to do some work!"

…

As night fell, Yichen returned to the yard, fetched water and took a bath as usual, and took out the black bronze mirror to regain some energy, but this time he couldn't calm down to practice, and he thought of Yang Xiaoran from time to time. Those hateful people like Zhao Wangsun sometimes thought of the girl in colorful clothes three months ago, and sometimes walked outside the yard and looked at the seven invisible peaks that reached into the sky under the cover of night, in a daze.

"I want to go to the main peak!"

A thought arose in his mind, making him angrier the more he thought about it, why couldn't he go to the main peak? Those named Zhao and those named Yang are really hateful! At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the sixteen words "Don't use the hidden dragon" written by his predecessor before leaving. See the dragon in the field, the flying dragon in the sky, and the dragon has regrets...

Senior Wei’s intention was to let him go to the main peak no matter what. Pingyang Peak was like a small hill and valley, how could a dragon soar into the sky? However, Zhao Wangsun and Yang Xiaoran were extremely hateful, trying to hinder him at every turn.

In the next three days, Yichen received more labor every day, and Yang Xiaoran also sent people to keep an eye on him at all times. On the fourth day, the third day of October, this day was the day when the grand ceremony was held. An elder hurried up to the main peak early in the morning to prepare things.

The disciples of Pingyang Peak were brought up by the elder disciples, but the Xuanqing Seventh Peak was too high to climb, reaching straight into the clouds. Even the elder disciples were unable to bring so many people up, so they could only use "cloud stones".

The so-called cloud stones are small islands that can fly on the wind with the help of spiritual energy. They are usually hidden in the clouds high in the sky. When people who cultivate immortality reach a certain level, they often attract them and wave them away.

The disciples all took the Yunshi today, and then used the formation to go to the Seven Peaks. The small Yunshi can bring a dozen people, and the large Yunshi can bring dozens to hundreds of people. Everyone is extremely excited today. And Yichen also sneaked into the clouds. Even with the risk of coming back and being punished, he had to go up to the main peak today to see what happened.

The seven peaks of Xuanqing are arranged in the direction of the Big Dipper. Among them, Tianshu Peak, where the master is located, is the steepest and tallest, reaching into the clouds thousands of miles away. Today's ceremony will naturally be held at Tianshu Peak, but it is not the top of Tianshu Peak. The top of the peak is Palm. The Taoist temple where Master Men Qingxuan practices is located, and one cannot go there at will at any time, so the ceremony was held at a place called "Tianchi" on Tianshu Peak, also known as "Tianchi Peak".

At this moment, at the Jade Square of Tianchi, almost all the elders of the seven peaks have arrived. In the past, they were all senior brothers and sisters, and now they have not seen each other for a sixty years. For the people in the immortal sect, a sixty years passed in a flash, but everyone still had a lot of feelings at this time, especially when recalling the old days when they were young.

And today's grand ceremony, among the disciples, only the seven direct disciples can take seats. Ordinary disciples cannot take seats and can only surround the outside in layers. The outermost layer is reserved for the disciples of Pingyang Peak, but there are also fruits and cakes to entertain, so they are not left out.

At noon, the cloud stone that Yichen mixed in slowly flew up. During the period, due to the improper control of the senior brother, it almost fell down, which really scared the dozens of disciples above.

What we saw along the way was breathtaking. This mountain seemed to be suspended in the clouds. There were many suspended islands nearby. On the islands, there were waterfalls. I don't know where the water came from or where it fell. Could it be that the water turned into rain and mist, moistening the people below?

When they arrived at a point below the Tianchi Lake, Yunshi could no longer rise. The disciples were impatient and rushed to jump down. Yichen followed the crowd. The road was paved with bluestone and decorated with pine and cypress trees. Sometimes cranes flew by and dropped white feathers.

Although it was late autumn, in the distance, there were flowers blooming in all colors, including peach flowers with a light red color, pear flowers with flawless white color, and apricot flowers with a reddish color, like a shy beauty. There were also many unnamed flowers and trees. When the breeze blew, petals fluttered in the wind and fell on the shoulders of pedestrians, like a dream.

This place is just like a fairyland, how can it be the human world?

Yichen gradually became fascinated by the dream, and his pace slowed down a lot. When he came to his senses, he realized that he had fallen a lot. He hurriedly walked up and mixed in with the crowd to avoid Zhao Wangsun and Yang Xiaoran noticing that he had come up.

When he arrived outside the Tianchi Square, Yichen did not dare to go in, fearing that he would be discovered by Yang Xiaoran, so he climbed up an apricot tree to look around, and saw that the square was very lively, with all kinds of food and drinks on land and water, and everyone was drinking and talking happily.

On the high platform at the east end of the square, there was an old man who looked like a fairy. The old man held a whisk, with a green fairy seal on his forehead, and an extraordinary appearance. There were two little Taoist children on his left and right, just like the Qingxuan Zhenren who was in charge of the Xuanqing Gate.

Seeing such a fairy-like figure for the first time, Yichen was stunned in his heart. Then he looked to the left and saw a woman with white hair sitting there. Although the woman had white hair, her face was like that of a young woman. There was a crescent moon fairy seal between her eyebrows. She was the second among the seven, the "Meiyue Zun Shang" of the "Tianxuan" lineage.

Then there was an old man with a dignified face and a serious expression. Just one look at this old man made people feel deeply shocked. He was the third and most severe "Liyuan Zun Shang" among the seven, belonging to "Tianquan".

Not far to the right of Qingxuan Zhenren, there sat an old man in a red robe. He was the fourth, Xuanyang Zun Shang, belonging to "Kaiyang". To the right was a middle-aged man with white hair, the fifth "Yuheng Zun Shang" Cangxuan Jing.

As for the person on the far right, he was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, drinking by himself, with peach blossoms falling into his sleeves, just like a fairy from Yaochi. He looked very handsome and unrestrained. How many innocent girls in the world wanted to become his disciples, but ended up returning disappointed?

Not to mention the girls in the world, even Xiao Yichen was fascinated by him at this moment. How great would it be if he could have such a fairy-like demeanor in the future? This person was the sixth-ranked "Tianji Zun Shang" Yi Huanzhen. It was unknown whether he was the real or clone who came today, and probably even his senior brother Qingxuan Zhenren didn't know.

At this moment, Yichen was hiding in the apricot tree, fascinated by the sight, but he counted over and over again, but why were there only six Zun Shang, and one was missing?

Fearing that he had counted wrong, Yichen counted from left to right and from right to left twice. After counting over and over again, there were still only six. He couldn't help but think, ah, that's it! The only one missing is Master Yaoguang. When he was down there, he always heard people mention Master Yaoguang and Fairy Miaoyin. Why didn't Master Yaoguang come today?

Yichen looked down again and saw a girl in fluttering feathers sitting under a peach tree. He was surprised. Hey, it's her? She can sit so close to the masters...

...

Note: "Meiyue" is Master Tianxuan Peak, and "Meijianyi" is Lingyin's former senior sister. The two are not the same person.
