Chapter 24: Omens

No one spoke in the entire square. No one knew what the young man had experienced to say such frightening words. In the distance, Huang Ying'er was completely stunned, and Zhao Ying'er had a very complicated expression.

Finally, Elder Yun Qing of Pingyang Peak slowly stood up, trying to calm himself down and not tremble, and said, "This boy is a new disciple of Pingyang Peak this year. His name is Xiao Yichen. He doesn't know the rules. I will take him back..."

"No need."

Ling Yin raised his hand slightly, turned around and looked at Qing Xuan Zhenren on the high platform, "Master, I took this boy back to Zixiao Peak."

"What!"

The crowd was even more excited. No one dared to believe it. No one dared to believe what they just heard!

True Man Qingxuan's face also changed, and he stood up from his chair. "Ling Yin, today is a grand ceremony, you can't act recklessly. How can you take a disciple as a joke!" He was the head of Xuanqing Sect, but he had no idea what was going on at this moment. The girl Nishang was still sitting there. She came and didn't even look at her. Why did she suddenly take in this boy who came out of nowhere? This was simply inexplicable. Everyone was also completely stunned. She said she wanted to take this boy back to Zixiao Peak, which meant she wanted to take him as a disciple, and most likely this boy would be her last disciple. From then on, she would never take in any disciples again... This boy came out of nowhere and didn't know any etiquette. This was too much of a joke! Almost no one here knew why. Only Meijianyi and Jiangnanliu, who were far away, witnessed the whole process of Junior Sister Ning using her own immortal essence to save the baby boy. At this moment, Meijianyi was completely stunned. After hiding for a long time, could Junior Sister still not escape this worldly disaster? Wasn't this boy in Ning Village? Is it true that everything is destined and cannot be changed...

Yi Huanzhen was still drinking alone, but in his heart, he sighed softly. Since the cause and effect had been planted, how could he hide? But the fate was not unchangeable.

Yi Chen also sat on the ground in a daze, still not understanding what was happening now. Was she going to take him back to that peak to kill him...

"Ahem..."

On the high platform, Zang Xuanjing suddenly coughed and said with a smile, "Junior sister, today is the Xuanqing Ceremony, you should stop joking with the head brother, then..."

"I have made up my mind, senior brother, you don't need to say anything more."

Ling Yin was always like an iceberg. No one could change what she decided, not even Qingxuan Zhenren. In fact, when she saw Xiao Yichen just now, she knew the identity of this young man. Even if Qingxuan Zhenren and the other masters could not sense the immortal essence she left in the baby's body, how could she not sense it?

"Nonsense!"

Just when the crowd was speechless, a cold shout from the high platform startled everyone. The face of Qingxuan Zhenren was as cold as frost, as if he was really angry, and the disciples below were all frightened into silence. For so long, the master Zhenren has always been kind and amiable, and he has never been so strict.

The atmosphere became more solidified, and no one dared to speak. Although the master Zhenren never gets angry, who dares to say a word when he gets angry?

Yichen stood there blankly. He was a little boy, how could he have seen such a scene? Just now it was because of the impulse, but now that he has calmed down, he is at a loss.

After a long time, a clear male voice was heard, "Since the junior sister has her own plan, senior brother, let her go."

The person who spoke was Tianji Zun Shang Yi Huanzhen. Qingxuan Zhenren looked at him quickly, "Junior brother, why are you also..."

The wind blew slowly, and petals fluttered in the sky. No one spoke in the huge square. Ling Yin turned around and looked at the young man in front of him. With a flick of his sleeves, he took him to the cold Zixiao Peak.

Many people here still haven't come back to their senses. The girl Nishang also sat on the stone bench in a daze. She came to Xuanqing Gate with the intention of worshipping Yaoguang Zun Shang. However, Yaoguang Zun Shang didn't even look at her just now, didn't even look at her...

On the other side, the three elders of Pingyang Peak were also in a daze and hadn't come back to their senses yet, and there were Huang Ying'er and others in the distance. As for Zhao Ying'er and Zhao Wangsun, the two siblings, not to mention, they were almost completely pale. Outside the square, Yang Xiaoran also witnessed what happened in just a short moment. How could he have imagined it?

…

When night fell, the ceremony ended early, and the elders and disciples of each peak also went back. In the Tianshu Hall, True Man Qingxuan sat upright, and below him were his five junior brothers and sisters, and the seven lords of Xuanqing Sect, only Ling Yin was not there at the moment.

After someone closed the door of the palace, after a long time, Qingxuan Zhenren spoke up, "Ling Yin is still young and often acts spontaneously, so I didn't ask her to come tonight. Do you know why?"

There was silence for a while, and Xuanyang Zhenren spoke up, "Brother, are you still worried about today's events? Ling Yin really shouldn't have accepted a boy who came out of nowhere. If she tells others about it in the future, won't it make my Xuanqing Sect..."

"No." Before he finished speaking, Qingxuan Zhenren shook his hand and interrupted, "It's not this matter, but if you really talk about this matter, although Ling Yin acts spontaneously, she will never accept a young man for no reason."

He said here, and looked at Yizhenzhen again, "Junior Brother Yizhen, what do you think about this matter?"

Yi Huanzhen said softly, "The mystery here..." Before he could finish his words, Zang Xuanjing, who was sitting next to him, waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, "Forget it, forget it, you'd better not say it, so as not to make people even more confused after listening..."

Yi Huanzhen smiled bitterly and said, "I mean, Junior Sister has her own reasons, so we don't need to speculate."

"Well..."

On the head of the hall, Qing Xuan Zhenren nodded slightly. Although he knew that something was wrong, there was another more important thing at the moment. Ling Yinzhi The matter must be put aside for the time being, and he said, "Junior sister and several junior brothers, do you know why I asked you to come this time?"

Xuan Yang Zhenren thought for a while, stroked his white beard and asked, "Senior brother, are you worried about the Tianmen martial arts competition six years later?"

Hearing this, Qing Xuan Zhenren's originally tightly furrowed brows frowned even deeper, and Mei Yue below immediately glanced at Xuan Yang, telling him not to trouble his senior brother anymore. His senior brother was already very worried about something, and now he mentioned another thing to make him even more worried.

Xuan Yang Zhenren also suddenly realized that he should not bring up this matter at this time, so he had to keep silent. Tianmen also has a grand ceremony every sixty years, which is the Tianmen martial arts competition. At that time, all the righteous sects gather together and the disciples will fight fairly. In previous years, there were also outstanding disciples such as Ling Yin and Feng Xiaoyin who took the stage. Which time did Xuan Qingmen not win the championship?

But now Ling Yin is one of the seven masters, and it is impossible for her to go on stage as a disciple. Similarly, Feng Xiaoyin and Xie Chichun, who were her peers, can no longer go on stage. Then the disciples below have to go on stage.

However, has Xuanqing Sect produced any outstanding disciples in these years? On the contrary, the other sects have produced many rising stars in recent years. I don’t know where so many talents come from. The reason why Xuanqing Sect can still sit firmly at the top of the righteous path is that they rely on the support of these old guys. The disciples are really worse than the previous generation. As the head of the sect, Qingxuan Zhenren, there is no successor to the great sect, how can he not worry about this day and night?

However, what bothers Qingxuan Zhenren the most at the moment is not this matter. Yizhen is thinking about it and asked, "What is it that Senior Brother is talking about?"

"Heavenly Book."

Qingxuan Zhenren's brows are heavy, and he finally said these two words. When the people below heard it, their faces changed slightly, and then fell into silence.

The story began more than 3,000 years ago, when the righteous and evil were in opposition and fighting to the death. There was a demon master named "Tianxin Laozu", who got a fragment of the ancient heavenly book from nowhere and cultivated supreme magic skills. He killed all the righteous sects and was invincible.

That period was almost the darkest time for the entire righteous sect in the past 10,000 years. It was rumored that the ancient fragments were full of mysteries and no one knew who created them. Tianxin Laozu only got a fragment of one of them at that time, but he was already invincible in the world. Later, it was the founder of the Xuanqing Sect at that time, "Xuanzhen Laozu", who joined hands with the leaders of several major righteous sects in the world, and fought hard with Tianxin Laozu for three days and three nights, and finally ended up in a situation where both sides were injured.

That battle almost caused the world to change drastically, and the sea and land to shift. After that, the whereabouts of the Tianxin Patriarch were unknown, and the Heavenly Book was also divided into several fragments and left in the world. The several leaders at that time were either dead or injured. The Xuanzhen Patriarch was also seriously injured. When he was dying, he returned to the Xuanqing Sect as soon as possible, and the first thing he did was to order the mountain to be closed.

From then on, the Xuanqing Sect gradually faded out of the world, until three hundred years ago, when the seven Xuanqing masters came out of the mountain and defeated several major demon sects in one fell swoop, which made the Xuanqing Sect famous and returned to its former status.

And the "Heavenly Book" that made the righteous sects fear and fear has been missing for more than three thousand years. The demon sects have never given up looking for it, and they have been deceiving each other.

Now looking back, if the Xuanzhen Patriarch had not joined forces with the various sects to fight to the death with the Tianxin Patriarch, it would be hard to say whether the Xianyuan Ancient Land is now the world of the righteous or the world of the demon.

Therefore, now, the name "Tianxin Patriarch" and the two words "Heavenly Book" have almost become taboos for all righteous sects, and they are terrified when they talk about them.

At this moment, True Man Qingxuan frowned and said solemnly, "The Heavenly Book will surely reappear in the world in the next few years. At that time, there will be a bloody storm in the ancient land of Xianyuan. Do you still remember the white light that suddenly cut through the night sky more than ten years ago?"

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, and recalled the shocking situation of that night. That night, suddenly a thousand-foot-high rosy clouds fell from the sky. The white light seemed to come from the sky, cutting through the night sky, and the whole cold night was as bright as daylight, which lasted for a long time. It can be said that in recent years, the ancient land of Xianyuan has the most abnormal sign, and no one can solve it.

Zang Xuanjing raised his head and frowned, asking, "Brother, do you mean that this white light is related to the Heavenly Book?" Upon hearing this, Qingxuan Zhenren did not comment, and looked at Yizhenzhen again, "What do you think, Junior Brother Yizhen?"

Yizhenzhen frowned, rarely seen, and said slowly, "I can't be sure about that white light. The only thing I can be sure of is that this light does not belong to Xianyuan, but the fortune of the ancient land of Xianyuan may change because of it, or even because of one person." At this point, he paused for a while before continuing, "Brother, do you still remember the record in an ancient book?"

Qingxuan Zhenren's eyebrows gradually frowned. According to legend, ten thousand years ago, demons were rampant in the world. Suddenly one night, a thousand-foot-high rosy light fell from the sky. Not long after, a strange man suddenly appeared. He made all the demons retreat within seven days, and passed on the method of cultivation to the world. From then on, a prosperous era of Xianyuan was opened. That man was called Qingdi by later generations.

The other few people were also concentrating in silence. The strange omen that fell from the sky more than ten years ago was too similar to what was recorded in the ancient book. They were afraid that this time, the ancient land of Xianyuan would also undergo a major change.

"That's all, let's get back to what happened just now."

Master Qingxuan's face became extremely serious again, and said, "Junior sister and several junior brothers must also be aware of the current situation. Those demon sects have been making more and more moves in recent years, and they must be determined to win the Heavenly Book... "

Hearing this, everyone frowned deeply. It would be fine if the Heavenly Book was found by some unknown person from the Demon Sect, but if it was found by these great demon sects and allowed them to take it back and study it together, there is no guarantee that there would be no such thing in this world. There will be a second Tianxin Patriarch, but now there is no second Xuanzhen Patriarch in the righteous way. Who can challenge him then? I'm afraid that the world will change hands.

"We must not let people from the devil's path find the location of this book first!"

Master Qingxuan's expression suddenly hardened. The candlelight in the hall flickered slightly, and a few deep wrinkles on his forehead were vaguely visible. At this moment, the head brother seemed to have become inexplicably scary.

…

Let's say that Yichen was brought back to Zixiao Peak by Lingyin. When he arrived at Zixiao Peak, he saw a sea of ​​clouds undulating and magnificent. The entire mountain top seemed to be suspended in the clouds. There were thousands of layers of white jade at his feet. It was so cold that even the crane couldn't fly up.

But the more he walked up, the more Yichen felt as if he had stepped from the scorching summer to the cold winter. He was shivering with cold. He pulled Ling Yin's sleeves and said with a trembling voice, "Sister, where is this place? It's so cold. …”

"Call me Master."

Ling Yin's tone was cold and indifferent, as if she was like this to everyone. It was better this time, even the "introduction ceremony" was omitted. Yichen said "Oh" and asked again, "Master, it's so cold here. I'm freezing to death. You're wearing so little, aren't you cold..."

Ling Yin ignored him and went straight to the Hanyu Square above. At the end of the square, there was a magnificent palace. On the forehead of the door were written the three characters "Yaoguang Palace". Although the three characters were written vigorously, they looked more... It's cold.

In front of the main hall, there is a lotus pond on the left and right sides. The jade waves in the pond are sparkling, and they are all filled with the soft light of lotus blossoms. Those lotus flowers are extraordinary lotus flowers. They are like jade carved from ice. Under the sunlight, they look extremely beautiful. There are even some lotus flowers that are hanging by themselves without roots. For Yichen, this is amazing.
