"Yinfeng, look, there are two portraits hanging in this hall. One is Master Lin Huaxuan, the founding master of our palace, and the other is Master Qingling who has achieved greatness. After Master Qingling ascended to heaven,

I left behind some immortal scrolls and treasures. Since then, our Qingxu has prospered and become a great sect of righteousness. Therefore, I respect Master Qingling as the second ancestor of our palace." As soon as Master Xuxuan entered the Imperial Palace, he introduced Yin Feng to the main hall.

So said before the two portraits in the middle.

Although the Imperial Palace is the place where the Qingxu Palace enshrines the real ancestors of the Qingxu Palace, it is not large in scale and the appearance is not very eye-catching. The whole building is simple and elegant, and the corridors and columns are smooth and round, and it looks long-lasting.

Some years ago. In fact, this Shanghuang Palace was built by Lin Huaxuan when he founded the Qingxu Palace. It has been rebuilt several times over the past thousand years, but the appearance and style have not changed. It is in keeping with the intention of not forgetting the ancestors.

The two scrolls hanging on the wall in the middle of the hall, one is of a middle-aged monk standing with a kind face and kind eyes, and the other is a picture of Youdao Zhenren, who is swimming freely among the mountains and rivers. The painting is vivid and sparse.

After a few strokes of outline, the fairy spirit came to my face. There are seven or eight golden statues on the walls on both sides of the Shanghuang Palace. There is a bronze nameplate under the statue, which is engraved with the life deeds of the person they carved. It seems that they are all from Qingxu Palace.

A real person who achieved great things in history.

When Yinfeng saw the statues on the two walls, he frowned slightly and looked quite disapproving. He shook his head and looked up at the two portraits in the middle again, concentrating on them.

Master Xu Xuan didn't rush him, he just waited quietly and saw various expressions of strangeness, puzzlement, confusion, and struggle on Yinfeng's face. It wasn't until Yinfeng frowned in pain that he slowly

Said: "Yinfeng, what can you see?"

Yinfeng's eyebrows were like swords, and the tips of his eyebrows were slightly curved like the moon. This pair of eyebrows, which were strong yet soft, were just like Xuan silkworms lying in the snow. At this moment, hearing Master Xu Xuan's inquiry, Yinfeng's eyebrows knitted tighter and he hesitated.

: "This Master Qingling... I seem to have seen him somewhere, but... I can't remember."

While he was speaking, he suddenly let out a sigh, held his head in both hands, and instantly turned pale, distorted his face, and was dripping with cold sweat.

The severe pain came and went quickly. Yinfeng shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​searching for memories. All his memories started from the moment he reappeared in the sky. Everything before had been completely forgotten.

Completely.

Seeing this, Master Xu Xuan's long eyebrows trembled slightly, and immediately his face was like sinking into the water, completely unruffled. He stroked his long beard and advised softly: "Yin Feng, no matter what the karma was in your previous life, in this life

You were always born in Qingxu and grew up in Qingxu. Your whole life traces back to your two ancestors. The cause of your past life and the result of this life. Although you do not worship ordinary beings, but when you drink water and think about the source, these two ancestors are worthy of your respect.

bye?"

Yinfeng thought for a moment, finally nodded, and bowed to the two portraits in the hall.

Immediately Master Xu Xuan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Originally, our Qingxu Palace attaches great importance to the ancestral rules. No matter when and where, the ancestral laws and etiquette cannot be abolished. But you are an exception. Since you have paid homage to the ancestors, you have already

You can be regarded as the reincarnated disciple of Zhenren Qingling. From now on, you don’t have to bow down to anyone, including me, in Qingxu Palace. You can go anywhere in Qingxu Palace."

Yinfeng nodded blankly.

Master Xu Xuan took out four ancient scrolls from his arms, handed them to Yin Feng, and said: "These are the four volumes of the "Shang Huang Jin Lu" left by Master Qing Ling after he was promoted to immortal. Since you are destined to Master Qing Ling, please take them.

Please refer to the details yourself. If you have any questions, just come to me. You stay here for now. This thunder disaster is not a small one. You have to explain your affairs to the elders. I will make arrangements first and I will come back later.

Pick you up."

After saying that, Master Xuxuan left the palace immediately.

Yinfeng held four volumes of the extremely precious "Golden Records of the Emperor" in his hand, but did not read them. He stood alone in the palace, with a surge in his heart, just thinking repeatedly: "The cause of the past life, the result of this life... the cause of the past life."

, the result of this life...karma..."

Snapped!

A drop of crystal water fell quietly and shattered to pieces on the sapphire ground.

Yin Feng was horrified and frightened. He lowered his head and looked at the small water splash on the ground, not knowing why for a moment.

Quietly, another drop of water fell.

Yinfeng reached out and wiped his face. It turned out that he had already burst into tears.

"Why is this? Why is this?" He was shocked and a little panicked. But when he thought about it carefully, the severe pain came as expected. However, he endured the pain and was still suffering in a blank consciousness.

Search hard.

After a while, Yinfeng finally fell down, his face was like gold paper, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he still found nothing. He looked up blankly at the dust on the top of the hall, letting his tears gush down.

Have all those past events left him?

"Senior sister, I'm here." Under the moonlight, Han Yan called out softly, then pushed open the wooden door and walked into the spacious but rather simple main room.

The furnishings in the room are simple, with only a bed and a few tables, the walls are rusty, the plaster is a little peeling off, and there is only a long sword hanging on the east wall. There is no light in the room, and under the moonlight that comes in through the window, a figure named Zhuo Yue can be vaguely seen.

The figure is standing in front of the window.

Hearing Hanyan's call, she slowly turned around, and it was Huaisu. Huaisu was in her prime, with a good appearance and figure. It had been some time since Ji Ruochen broke into her bathroom, and there were already traces of blood on her eyebrows and eyes.

There were some edges and corners, which added a touch of firmness to her soft appearance. Seeing Hanyan coming, her face lit up with joy and she went to greet him.

Han Yan was holding a small snack box in his hand. He walked over to the table and placed three dishes of side dishes and a pot of spirits in the box on the table. He said: "Senior sister, these are all Han Yan's techniques. Try it."

Try it.”

Huaisu didn't answer, grabbed the wine bottle, raised his head, and drank it all. Then he took a long breath and sighed: "It's so enjoyable!"

He stood silently to the side with a cigarette in his mouth. After Huaisu finished drinking, he said: "Senior sister, the annual exam is coming soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you in this month and a half. You... take care of yourself."

When Huaisu heard this, his body trembled slightly, and then he said: "So fast, it's already November. It turns out... I have been here for more than half a year. Alas, I am facing the wall in this cold dew hall.

Xiu, none of the sisters from back then have ever been here. We didn’t have much friendship, but you always came to visit me.”

Hanyan smiled lightly and said: "You can't blame others for this. The two wind tigers guarding Hanlu Palace are not as selfish as people. Of course the other sisters can't come in. I have been familiar with them since I was a child, so I

Will you let me in?"

Han Yan paused for a moment, as if hesitating, and after a while he suddenly sighed softly and said, "Sister, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Huaisu was startled and said with a smile: "Hanyan, I am actually ready to be punished, but you have come to visit me quietly many times. With this kind of friendship, what else can't be said?"

Yan Yan sighed: "Actually, Master Yuxuan has been working hard to revitalize Danyuan Palace. I heard that Ji Ruochen has a special status and was framed this time. So Master Yuxuan also has his own reasons. Why do you insist on what you have seen?"

, Do you have to suffer in vain here? Senior sister, I heard that you used to be a teetotaler, but what about now? You are no longer drunk."

Huaisu was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "The reason? How did he look like he was framed that day? Never mind that Ji Ruochen was framed, and he was taken away with just one sentence. I lost my innocence, but

Who should I ask for? Master is indeed doing everything for the sake of reviving Danyuan. Unfortunately, I, Huaisu, am just an ordinary woman and cannot give everything for the sake of reviving Danyuan. Master Yuxuan ordered me to do anything, so forgive me for not being able to do so.

!”

Hanyan's face had a look of surprise, and he just looked at Huaisu with a pair of smoke-like eyes, asking: "What did Master Yuxuan order you to do?"

Huaisu didn't answer in silence, grabbed the wine bottle, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, but it was empty. It turned out that there was no trace left in the bottle. Huaisu threw the wine bottle out of the window, stood up, and stood there.

In front of the window, I just stared at the frosty moonlight.

After waiting for a moment with a cigarette in her mouth, Yingying stood up and called out: "Senior sister..."

Huaisu seemed to sigh quietly, and slowly undressed her clothes. After a while, a jade-like body was spread out in front of her cigarette. The moonlight was like water, shining on her silky skin, which seemed to be...

A layer of light smoke slowly emerged, and the picturesque woman seemed to be covered with a veil, hiding the blur, making it even more thrilling.

"Smoking, senior sister, are you beautiful?"

Hanyan was extremely surprised and said at a loss: "Of course Senior Sister is extremely beautiful..."

Huai Su gently caressed his body and sighed quietly: "The old saying that beauty is a disaster is true. It is a sin for a woman in this world to be beautiful. You don't have to ask what the master's destiny is. In short, I

Can't do it."

Hanyan listened, but was silent.

Huaisu suddenly asked: "Hanyan, I heard that you and Ji Ruochen once taught together, do you know where he is now?"

Hanyan replied: "During the annual examination last year, he had just entered the realm of the Taiqing True Sage."

Huaisu smiled sadly and said: "Very good! Then this year I will destroy my two levels of Taoism and meet him in the annual examination."

Hanyan was shocked and said anxiously: "Senior sister, you must not do it! Now another year has passed. Although according to common sense, it is impossible for him to advance to the next level. But after all, he was taught by eight real people, and he is different from ordinary people.

The disciples are different. Even if they are really diligent before the annual exam, it is not a strange thing. In that case, senior sister, your hard work has not been in vain? Besides..."

Seeing Han Yan hesitate, Huai Su smiled bitterly and said, "If you have anything to say, it's okay for you to say it."

Han Yanfang said: "Ji Ruochen entered Taoism late, and his talent was not obvious at first, but now he has won the first place in the annual examination three times in a row. He has made rapid progress and is likely to catch up. Moreover, his Taoism is very changeable, and he has the means to restrain me.

, Senior Sister... Even if you are determined to die, you may not be able to achieve your goal. What's more, if you suddenly self-destruct, how can the real people not be suspicious? This is absolutely impossible!"

Huai Su smiled sadly and said: "I understand. It seems that I am no match for him even if I try my best to destroy my Taoism. So, I should wait for him to catch up slowly. When I first enter the Xuansheng realm,

Only then can we have a chance to kill him in one fell swoop?”

Hanyan sighed again: "Senior sister...even if you can really kill him, the real people are watching by the side. Is it difficult to recover the soul and continue to live?"

Huai Su stood stunned, a teardrop had already fallen down, but she didn't even notice it, she just said: "Then... what should I do?"

Han Yan was about to speak but stopped. After a long time, Fang sighed softly and said, "This is going against the trend. Han Yan is just an ordinary woman. I don't know what to do."

It's snowing continuously, it's already the middle of winter, and in three days' time, the Tao Te Sect's annual annual exam will be here again.

At this time, Ji Ruochen had already prepared a strategy for the annual exam, and the corresponding magic weapons had been sorted out, divided into categories, and neatly placed on the shelves. The elixirs and charms that needed to be used in the annual exam had been prepared half a month ago. He was ready. When he first entered the Taiqing Holy Realm last year, he relied on changing methods and won the first place in one fell swoop. This year, he has used the Dissociation Technique many times in private, but there is still a long way to go before he can break through to the True Holy Realm. But no matter what, Ji Ruochen's true energy is now profound, which is no longer the same as last year. There is no doubt that he will win the first place again this year.

Now that he had everything ready, he had nothing to do except meditate. During this period of time, he often felt restless and uneasy, but since he was divining the signs of bleeding that day, Ji Ruochen put a divination tool in his hand. The corner of the house is where dust is generated. The hexagram materials are mostly used to replenish one's own vitality. Even when practicing the hexagram images, banishing immortals is no longer the subject.

Although he didn't do divination, he paid close attention to the theory of cause and effect and the way of reincarnation. However, after consulting the Taoist scriptures, Ji Ruochen was still at a loss. Only then did he discover that the way of cause and effect and reincarnation was different from The Three Pure Secrets are even more obscure and difficult to understand.

Ji Ruochen stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy snow falling outside. For a moment, thousands of thoughts came to his mind. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the quarrel between the shopkeeper and his wife at the Longmen Inn.

Business was light that day, and not a single fat sheep came to the door all day, so the shopkeeper's wife's face became a little dark. At dinner time, the inn was covered with thick clouds, with the hint of thunder. Ji Ruochen was still young at the time, and was so scared that he remained silent and just lowered his head. While he was picking up the rice, he was afraid that his eye contact with the shopkeeper's wife would lead to this violent storm happening to him.
To be continued...
