Master Yuxuan has been waiting in the monastery for a long time. According to usual practice, Ji Ruochen always arrives a moment early, and today is no exception. On weekdays, everyone arrives on time, but today for some unknown reason, Master Yuxuan arrived earlier than him.

morning.

There was a woman sitting in the monastery. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her hair was held high in her hair, and she was wearing a long plain dress. She was not wearing any pink or pearls. Her eyebrows were covered in black, like a distant mountain in the mist. Her eyes were blurry.

The water in Ruochun River is warm.

At first glance, Ji Ruochen felt that this was a woman completely made of water, indescribably weak and graceful. When he looked at her again, although she was sitting there, her whole body seemed to be caged in a layer of light water smoke.

It was like looking at a flower through a curtain, only seeing its shadow but not its shape... Ji Ruochen was slightly surprised, and when he looked again, she happened to be looking in this direction, and as soon as his eyes touched, the pair seemed blurred.

The eyes holding endless water smoke had infinite suction, which immediately made Ji Ruochen deeply addicted and unable to extricate himself.

"Ruochen, you're here." A call from Master Yuxuan pulled Ji Ruochen's mind out of those endless misty eyes. She then pointed to the girl and said: "This is my Danyuan Palace.

Disciple Han Yan. What I want to explain to you today is the "Eight Elements Sutra". Han Yan also wants to study this scripture, so I asked her to come over and listen together. Ruochen, please go over and sit down."

Ji Ruochen agreed, and looked up to see where Master Yuxuan was pointing, which was right next to the desk where the smoke was being smoked. Then his heart suddenly beat much faster. Ji Ruochen approached and felt a whiff of breath on his nose.

A dark fragrance like musk and orchid surges, but when you breathe hard, you don't feel it at all. Your mind relaxes, and the fragrance lingers again, as faint and traceless as the fairy sound coming from the secret realm in the dark night.

As soon as he sat down, Han Yan turned his head slightly, and his voice was like the waves on the river, turning a thousand times, and said: "I have met Senior Brother Ruochen."

Ji Ruochen felt a blood boiling in his chest, and he felt dizzy for a moment. He did not dare to look at her face hidden behind the water waves and smoke. In panic, he lowered his eyes and stared at the rosewood.

He stood on the table and said hurriedly: "The one who starts first in our sect is the eldest. This...smoke you..."

Hanyan Rourou said calmly: "Senior Brother Ruochen is the direct disciple of Master Ziyang. He has a higher position and is one year older than me. But our sect has different palaces, regardless of generation. So Senior Brother Hanyan said

, in fact, it’s a high climb.”

Ji Ruochen didn't know why, but his mind suddenly became confused. He kept mumbling for a long time, not knowing how to answer. Fortunately, Master Yuxuan coughed lightly and started teaching, which relieved his embarrassment a little.

For the whole morning, Ji Ruochen felt like he was floating in the clouds or in the fog. Although he was sitting upright, without squinting, the scriptures and his mind were filled with the plain-colored snow-skinned and icy skin around him, which was like water and smoke.

Lips, jade fingers and slender bones. As for what Master Yuxuan said, he actually didn't listen at all. The subtle Taoist teachings taught by Yuxuan were like clear springs washing stones at this moment, leaving no trace.

It was like being in a dream in the clouds, and time passed extremely fast at that time. Ji Ruochen only felt that it was already dusk not long after Master Yuxuan started teaching.

After paying homage to Master Yuxuan, Ji Ruochen reluctantly walked out of the monastery slowly. Until this moment, he was a little unsure whether the woman looming in the water smoke next to him was real or just his.

A spring dream.

Ji Ruochen suddenly stopped and looked back. Zhenren Yuxuan was walking slowly into the distance. The woman following behind her always had faint clouds and smoke rising from her feet. She was walking further and further away. It wasn't the smoke, but it was

Who is it again?

Only then did Ji Ruochen dare to be sure that what he had just seen was really not a dream, and he suddenly felt happy and panicked. The faint clouds and smoke were so vague, as if they would disappear without a trace when a gust of mountain wind blew by. He suddenly remembered that there would be Master Yuxuan tomorrow.

I was overjoyed to learn about my classwork.

Ji Ruochen stared blankly at Master Yuxuan and Han Yan walking away, then he quickened his pace and ran towards Taichang Palace.

In the distance, Master Yuxuan gently held the whisk in his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "Look at Ji Ruochen who is very interested in you. I never thought it would go so smoothly. But Han Yan, you can't ignore it in the future, lest you

All previous efforts have been wasted.”

Hanyan was silent for a long time, and then he replied in a low voice: "This matter is related to the rise and fall of Danyuan Palace. Master, don't worry, Hanyan... will do his best."

Master Yuxuan sighed and said: "You are the best if you have this intention. Han Yan, I know this is very difficult for you, but you are the most outstanding disciple in my palace, and you are the most suitable. Besides, I

What generations of Taoist cultivators seek in their lives is nothing more than the righteousness of the Great Way. If you can have a predestined relationship with Ruochen, it will not be difficult for you to succeed in the Great Way in the future. This... can be considered as compensation for you. After returning to the palace, you can have a good rest tomorrow.

There’s still one day of schoolwork left!”

Ji Ruochen walked quickly and soon saw the rope bridge in the distance. Taoist priest Yunfeng was already standing there, waiting to escort him across the bridge. When he saw Taoist Yunfeng in the distance, Ji Ruochen suddenly woke up from a dream and said "ah"

Called softly.

It was only then that he realized that he had not listened to a single word of what Master Yuxuan taught just now. Looking back at this moment, his mind was completely blank, except for his smoky smiles and gestures that deeply touched his heart.

"What, did you forget something? It doesn't matter, I'll just go and get it with you." Yunfeng Taoist said.

"Ah, no, I just remembered that there is one more homework I haven't done yet. Senior Brother Yunfeng, let's go back to Taichang Palace now."

Taoist Master Yunfeng smiled and said: "Ruochen, it is a good thing for you to practice diligently and diligently, but you should not do it too hastily. Understanding the Three Pure Secrets is the first thing, and in many cases diligent practice may not be effective."

Ji Ruochen nodded in agreement, but felt extremely confused in his heart. He didn't understand why he was so fascinated by the woman in the smoke and water, and even neglected his studies that he had always been concentrating on. When he thought of neglecting his studies, Ji Ruochen suddenly thought of Luo Feng.

.

The fat sheep, full of immortality and extraordinary vision, seemed to be sneering at him secretly, and then shouted: "You little thief! Give me back my life!"

Ji Ruochen's whole body trembled, and in an instant he was covered in cold sweat. He slipped and fell into the abyss under the cable bridge! Taoist priest Yunfeng flew down diagonally, picked up Ji Ruochen, and pulled him back to the cable bridge.

Ji Ruochen collected his mind and walked along the rope bridge step by step while fighting against the sudden and gentle mountain wind. But before he had taken two steps, he couldn't help but think: "They say people die unjustly."

Maybe it will turn into a ghost and demand its life. Will that fat sheep that was knocked down by my sap also come to me to pay for its life? What should I do then? If my Taoist skills are as good as Taiwei Zhenren's, I can also release him.

As for the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman, when he finds it, maybe he can be transformed by taking a shot of the magic talisman. But it’s too bad, I actually wasted a day of schoolwork! If things are exposed in the future, I am a humble person, how can I escape?

Let’s go to Xixuan Mountain! Ji Ruochen, Ji Ruochen, if you put a knife on your head for sex, your life will be in danger, but you still have such a leisurely heart and courage! If this continues, what’s the difference between you and those fat sheep? Shopkeeper

It has been said long ago that you can only deceive a fat sheep for a while, so you must be quick and accurate when you kill a sap. It doesn't take long for you to deceive a fat sheep. Real people all have great powers. Do you really think you can hide it for a lifetime?"

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His feet gave way and he almost fell off the rope bridge again. As for the girl who was like water and smoke, she was already thousands of miles away by the endless fear.

But this was already a troubled time.

Master Yuxuan was still teaching the next day, and Ji Ruochen entered the Jingshe a little uneasily. He didn't listen to what Master Yuxuan said yesterday at all, so he just practiced the Taiqing Zhenjue all night long. Fortunately, Master Yuxuan did not

Without asking about the details of his homework, he just asked him to sit down next to Hanyan and began to teach himself.

As soon as Ji Ruochen sat down, Han Yan saluted him and said hello like yesterday. As she leaned down and lowered her head, Ji Ruochen suddenly felt that the water was rippling in front of her eyes, and the smoke was blurring, covering her face again. There was another faint ray of darkness.

The fragrance wafted over and penetrated into his heart and lungs, making his unsatisfied heart beat crazily again.

This time, Ji Ruochen was still conscious, and he was busy returning the gift without making a fool of himself. After doing this ritual with smoke in his mouth, he turned around and listened to Master Yuxuan's teachings with all his concentration, never looking this way again.

.But Ji Ruochen couldn't calm down no matter what. Although he no longer had no idea what Master Yuxuan was talking about like yesterday, he would involuntarily and secretly glance at the smoker after a while. He sat upright, unable to

I dare to look more, but as long as I see a piece of her clothes or a jade finger in the corner of my eye, my heart will beat wildly.

In the blink of an eye it's dusk again.

Ji Ruochen kept watching Master Yuxuan and the smoky figure disappear into the dusk, then turned and walked towards the rope bridge leading to Taichang Palace. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly felt like waking up from a dream, and was secretly shocked.

With a sigh, he realized that he had wasted another whole day. He panicked and threw the cigarette away again.

The next day was the time for Master Shouzhen to teach. On this day, Ji Ruochen worked harder, trying to make up for the wasted time in the previous two days. Master Gu Shouzhen was extremely satisfied. At the end of the lesson, Ji Ruochen stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Ruochen,

I see that you have begun to have a foundation of true energy, and you have also understood the innate hexagrams. Tomorrow, my uncle will teach you a secret technique for controlling magic weapons. Tomorrow, remember to bring that set of amethyst hexagrams, it is not only

It is a powerful magic weapon for predicting bad luck. The most rare thing is that it integrates offense and defense and does not require much real energy, so it is just right for you. As long as you are familiar with this set of divination, it will not be difficult to take the quiz.

Overwhelm other disciples."

Ji Ruochen was shocked, and cold sweat suddenly broke out like a spring. The amethyst hexagram had been separated by his unintentional palm, and the spiritual energy was swallowed up. How could he find the same one now?

Master Shouzhen immediately noticed Ji Ruochen's thoughtful expression and asked, "Why, Ruochen, is there anything in trouble?"

Ji Ruochen braced himself and replied: "This... I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Shouzhen Zhenzhen said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk."

Ji Ruochen hesitated for a long time and then said: "A few days ago, my disciple suddenly discovered that there were a lot of small items missing in the room, including the amethyst divination stick you gave me. Now only one of the sixty-four divination sticks is left.

."

Master Shouzhen raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "How could such a thing happen?! There are people like cocks, dogs, and thieves in my sect. How incredible! I will tell Master Ziqing that this matter is not your fault. You can practice Taoism with peace of mind.

Don’t worry too much.”

Ji Ruochen secretly complained, knowing that things were going to be bad when Master Zishou Zhen asked about the Amethyst Divination. At this time, the matter had become serious, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight it to the end.

After bidding farewell to Master Gu Shouzhen, Ji Ruochen returned to Taichang Palace uneasily. Even after midnight, the lights in his room were not extinguished. In the Tingfeng Pavilion opposite his residence, Taoist Yunfeng remained motionless.

He stood on the ground for half the night. When the moon passed the zenith, he quietly went downstairs and walked to the Mingxin Hall of Taichang Palace where Master Ziyang lived.

Master Ziyang did not meditate and rest, but was reading the scriptures under the lamp, reading with great interest. Master Yunfeng walked in silently, bowed and said: "Master..."

"Wait a minute..." Ziyang Zhenren waved his hand to stop Taoist Yunfeng, shook his head and read: "I am not a saint, I have learned it. Therefore, when I seek the Tao, I have to uphold it. There are thousands of techniques, but it only depends on the will.

Well said, well said. Yunfeng, what can I do for you?"

Yunfeng said: "This disciple has been observing Ji Ruochen's behavior and complexion for several days, and finally confirmed that he has perfected the holy realm of Taiqing."

"Oh?" Master Ziyang raised his head, stroked his beard and smiled: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ruochen for more than half a month. I didn't expect that he entered the country so quickly. Ruochen entered our Taoist Sect in September, right?

It only took more than four months to complete the cultivation of the Holy Realm of Taiqing, which is not bad."

Taoist Yunfeng said: "Master, he has taken Master Shouzhen's Longhua Pill and Master Ziyun's Huangting Sun and Moon Pill, which are very helpful to his cultivation. That's why he has made such an advance. Even so, he

Not even Ming Yun or Li Xuanzhen can compare with it, not to mention that Ji Bingxian broke through the Holy Realm of Taiqing in just one month without any external help. So the disciples thought that Ruochen was really

Yuan Jinjing is really not consistent with his nature of being relegated to immortals. Is there any problem in this?"

Master Ziyang closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then opened his eyes and said: "There are thousands of kinds of people in the world, and there are all kinds of Dharma. It is the same Dharma. Some people have it easy before and after it is difficult, and some people have it easy before and after it. What's more, there are differences between immortals and mortals.

How can we figure things out clearly? Don't think wildly, just do the things we are doing well."

Taoist Master Yunfeng said: "Disciple has been taught. But... you have stopped teaching Ruochen recently. What should I do if he refuses to enter the gate of my Taichang Palace during the college entrance examination?"

Taoist Master Ziyang smiled and said: "Seven real people have worked so hard, so why do they need me? As for four years later... Yunfeng, everything in the world has a cause and effect. If he doesn't want to enter my Taichang Palace, then he can't force it.

Let him go if he comes. However, Ruochen’s true energy is not going well at this time, which is a good thing.”

Yunfeng was startled and asked: "Why is this?"
