At that time, Li Taibai's famous saying "The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky" was praised all over the world.

Ji Ruochen also reads some classics and poems in his spare time, and is familiar with the articles, so he knows this sentence.

However, he didn't know the true meaning of Li Taibai's sentence until he entered Shu. The land of Shu is so dangerous that it would be hard to believe it even if he came there in person. Thousands of steep peaks stand on the wall, stretching like a barrier proudly across the sky and the earth.

Between the knife-cut mountain walls, pine trees hang upside down and springs pour down. It is difficult to find traces of humans and animals. However, the danger of waiting and watching is not as scary as climbing. When Ji Ruochen held Gu Qing horizontally, he was walking in a narrow path like the intestines of a bird.

Every now and then, I feel like I'm flying in the air. In the mountains and forests, there's a cold wind and rock roars, and the ghosts look forward to them. Even though Ji Ruochen has extraordinary experience, he can't help but feel frightened.

According to what Gu Qing said, the place where Yunzhong Residence is located is even more dangerous. After entering Shu, Ji Ruochen traveled for half a month before he arrived at the southwest of Shu and chose a gentle slope with mountains and water.

Set up the tent and prepare to rest for the night. Further ahead from here, there are snow-capped mountains that are frozen all year round. Although the monks are not ordinary people, these snow-capped mountains are not desperate, but Ji Ruochen knows that his path is low, and Gu Qing is there to take care of him.

Therefore, this section of the road is not easy to walk. Moreover, in such a sparsely populated place, there are probably ferocious beasts, and these ferocious beasts are not something Ji Ruochen can easily deal with.

The half-month walk with her was actually quite hard. The green light in Yin Feng's palm was unknown, it was lonely and cold, and its nature was not within any Tao method that Ji Ruochen knew, and even with his

The Dissociation Technique also felt a little impossible. After losing both sides with Yinfeng, Gu Qing's external injuries healed in one day. However, all her true energy cultivation had been destroyed, all her meridians and mysteries were injured, and the Zi Mansion was tightly locked.

If the Yutian is not opened, she should have been destroyed both physically and mentally. I don’t know how she can survive.

In the first few days, Gu Qingquan relied on Ji Ruochen's few remaining pills to survive. He could not even walk and had to be held by Ji Ruochen in order to move forward. It was not until five days later that she could barely walk like a normal person, but she still couldn't walk.

She couldn't lift her true energy, so she still needed Ji Ruochen's support if she wanted to cross the mountains. Fortunately, her injuries no longer worsened, and Ji Ruochen finally let go of her worries.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Gu Qing was seriously injured. With that green light piercing his body, he would have been in bliss long ago. In total, this was the second time that Gu Qing risked his life for him. He thought about this every night.

Ji Ruochen was always worried about things, and he didn't know what virtues and abilities he had to win her such favor.

And along the way, the two of them were rubbing each other's hands and getting very close to each other. However, Gu Qing always talked and laughed freely and did not shy away from anything. On the contrary, Ji Ruochen's face turned red all the time, and his heart beat wildly.

Thinking about it while hanging like this made Ji Ruochen so confused that it took him a long time to set up the tent and hang it up. On the other side, Gu lit a bonfire early in the morning and sat by the fire with his knees folded, thinking to himself. It was already getting late.

, the fire was blazing, making her side face flicker, and the occasional mountain breeze would stir up a few strands of black hair and brush it in front of her eyes, but she didn't notice it at all.

Although it was midsummer, the night above the mountain was still very cold. Gu Qing's true energy collapsed at this time and he had long lost the ability to withstand the cold. When Ji Ruochen saw him, he hurriedly took off his robe and put it on her, and then stood before her

Sitting down next to him, Lu Qing smiled, rested his head on his shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.

Gu Qing has always been free and easy, with heaven, earth, mountains and rivers in her mind, and everything seems to be under her control. In the past, Ji Ruochen often looked up in front of her, feeling ashamed of himself. It was only in this half month that he could see her.

The other side of weak quality wind flow.

Ji Ruochen only felt the faint fragrance surging, and her whole body stiffened at the moment, not daring to move at all for fear of startling her.

At this moment, a ball of scorching heat appeared in his chest, and the square bluestone glowed slightly, injecting a subtle stream of heat into Ji Ruochen's body. In the past, when he was uneasy, this square bluestone would always help him calm down, but today he felt

The changes in the bluestone made my heart even more chaotic.

Ji Ruochen turned his head slightly and looked at Gu Qing who seemed to be sleeping from top to bottom, thinking about the origin of this square bluestone, thinking about Yin Feng's strange reaction, thinking about her sudden favor from her who was as high as the clouds in the sky, all of which

All these are slowly put together and gradually pieced together into a new picture.

After five years of practicing Taoism on Xixuan Mountain, he knew that he had stolen the fat sheep from the Longmen Inn. Gu Qing, who was supposed to be out of reach, was now leaning on his shoulder, tracing back to his origins, and wanted to come to him more than half of the time.

It was because of this square bluestone. This square bluestone allowed him to cultivate the great path, learn the Immortal Art of Dissociation, and also made Gu Qing appear in front of him.

But this quartz stone does not belong to him. How should he deal with it?

Ji Ruochen sighed secretly.

Ziyang Zhenren once said that the spiritual creatures in the world have their own destiny and opportunities, and only the virtuous live in them. If you encounter them and do not take them, you are going against heaven. He was also born in a dark shop, and he did not think there was anything wrong with the weak and the strong. The Taoist books he read on the mountain

He also repeatedly preached the cycle of heaven and the corresponding cause and effect, that is to say, those who fell under his stick had the cause in the past and had the result today. Therefore, he did not feel that he had taken away the blue stone.

What's wrong with having everything you have today? When facing Yin Feng, you can still be determined to fight to the death.

Just as he thought about this, a faint fragrance filled his nose, and he felt a little itchy. It turned out to be a few strands of her hair that had brushed against his face.

Ji Ruochen's heart was beating fast again, and an unprecedented feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly felt that he should tell her the origin of the bluestone, not for anything else, but because he didn't want her to regret it.

Gu Qing suddenly let out a sigh. Ji Ruochen looked down and saw that she had opened her eyes at some point and was staring blankly at the jumping bonfire.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, it's just chance and cause and effect." Gu Qing seemed to be talking to himself.

Ji Ruochen couldn't think of how to answer for a moment. Gu Qing had already sat up and looked at Ji Ruochen, looking left and right. Ji Ruochen was at a loss when she saw her and had to turn his eyes to the side before he felt better.

"Can I ask, what are brother Ruochen's plans for the future?"

"From now on? This..." Ji Ruochen suddenly didn't know how to answer. The word "from now on" meant confusion to him.

Gu Qing immediately noticed something strange about him. After thinking for a moment, he immediately asked: "Brother Ruochen, are you worried about anything? Is there anything that Tao Te Sect can't solve?"

Ji Ruochen smiled bitterly and hesitated: "I made some mistakes and I didn't dare to go back to the mountain for a while."

Gu Qing stared at him and waited for a while. Seeing that he didn't wait for the next sentence, he knew that he didn't want to elaborate, so he smiled and said: "Who can have no faults? Right or wrong, sometimes it doesn't matter. No one can see all the opportunities.

, after calculating the cause and effect, how can you know whether it is right or wrong? You, sometimes you are too persistent. I think Master Ziyang has a big heart, even if you really have any faults, how can you not tolerate it? If you are still worried, I ask my senior brother

I just need to fix a letter of guarantee for you. Even if Master Ziyang wants to punish you, for the sake of senior brother, it will probably be over."

"Your senior brother? Is he Chu Han?" Ji Ruochen was a little surprised. Although Chu Han was extremely talented, steady and calm, and had the air of a king, he was a junior after all, so how could he have such a big reputation?

Gu Qing smiled softly and said: "Chu Han? How can he be my senior brother again! My senior brother's surname is Jin Mingshan, with the courtesy name Mantang. According to him, he had some friendship with Master Ziwei and Master Ziyang back then. In front of these two Masters

You should be able to say something."

Ji Ruochen read it several times and felt that the name Jinshan Jinmantang was extremely vulgar, but he didn't know what kind of master he was. If he called himself "Yunzhong Tianhai", wouldn't this person call himself "Yunzhong Jinshan"? It would be greedy for money.

.

But this person also has some friendship with Zi Wei and Zi Yang, so his identity is definitely not trivial. Gu Qing is only just over twenty, how can he have such a senior brother?

Seeing Ji Ruochen thinking hard, Gu Qing couldn't help but smile softly and said: "Jinshan is the common name of senior brother. Nowadays, most people in the same profession call him Qingxian."

Ji Ruochen exclaimed, "Master Qingxian is your senior brother?!"

"Yes." Gu Qing said with a smile.

Ji Ruochen couldn't help being dumbfounded. Master Qingxian has been in charge of the Yunzhongju portal for more than forty years. He has been in seclusion for the past thirty years and has not taken a step out of the Yunzhongju. It goes without saying that his status is respected. As for the level of Taoism, it only depends on how Yunzhongju walks in the world.

This can be seen in the old man Tianhai.

As if he had known that Ji Ruochen would be speechless, Gu Qing thought to himself: "From the day I went up the mountain, Senior Brother Jinshan liked me very much and said that he would accept me as his disciple. From then on, he and the three teachers

Uncle teaches together..."

At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, under the cold moon, Gu Qing recounted Yunzhongju's more than ten years of monastic life. For a time, this barren mountainous area had already become a fairyland in Ji Ruochen's eyes.

The road is long and endless. Although the ten years of monasticism are long, there is actually not much to talk about. Gu Qing talked about it and finished all the past events in his monastic life in half an hour.

Ji Ruochen's heart was pounding. Gu Qing sacrificed his life to save him twice. Tonight, he revealed the past events one by one, and his mind was already clear. The road was difficult, but what would happen if he could have this beautiful woman accompanying him on his quest?

beg?

He pondered for a moment and finally said: "Actually, I also have something I need to let you know..."

However, when the words came to his mouth, Ji Ruochen suddenly realized that it was so difficult to say them out. If he hadn't been banished to immortals, and if he had told the origin of Qingshi, would Gu Qing have turned around and left immediately? What seemed like an illusion in front of him was also real.

Will everything disappear like a dream?

After struggling for a long time, he finally said: "Actually, I'm not... not..."

Gu Qing looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "...not an immortal?"

Ji Ruochen was immediately shocked and said, "How do you know?"

Gu Qing said: "Back then, the Purple Fire Heavenly Thunder suddenly fell in Luoyang, and a banished immortal was born outside the main wall. There are very few sects who have figured this out! What is the difficulty in knowing this? In fact, there are many banished immortals who are undergoing reincarnation in the mortal world.

One, when it comes to the immortal world, it is extremely difficult to see clearly the cause and effect of the past and future lives. Even the banished immortal himself has spent his entire life in a state of confusion. In fact, there are not many people who can ascend and return to the immortal world. What's more,

After Huang She was born, the fate and cause of this life became even more chaotic. How can we see clearly and distinguish right from wrong? Most of the people in the world think that the banished immortals are wrong. But the real banished immortals are often wrong.

I don’t know the cause and effect of my past life. Therefore, I don’t need to take it to heart, as it is useless to think about it.”

Ji Ruochen was startled when he heard this. He had never thought about this in depth. Gu Qing sighed softly, held Ji Ruochen's hand and said, "But you can tell me this secret, I am very happy.

Ruochen, you'd better go back to Tao De Sect. With your dissociation skills and stick skills, given time, you will be no worse than the banished immortal. But the calamities for you and me will only become more and more serious in the future. With this alone

Two methods are not enough. You still have to study the Three Pure Secrets carefully and lay a solid foundation. You don’t have to worry, if you have a senior brother who will revise the book for you, Master Ziyang will never embarrass you."

At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew by, and Gu Qing's face suddenly turned pale. Ji Ruochen hesitated and reached out to hug her. Gu Qing's body trembled slightly, then relaxed, and leaned into his arms.

Five days later.

"Repair a book? What book should I repair?"

Ji Ruochen looked at Master Qingxian and was stunned for a moment.

Qingxian Zhenren looks to be in his fifties, with a bald head, big ears, dark complexion, big eyes, just an inverted triangle, a nose like an aquiline, and a downward-looking mouth. He looks like someone who owes him tens of thousands of taels of silver and will not repay him.

Appearance. This Qingxian master is wide and fat, but not tall. He is actually half a head lower than Lu Qing.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged behind a low table made of black cloud stone. His eyes were like an eagle, staring at Ji Ruochen. The corners of his mouth were almost straight down, pointing straight to the ground. Almost every piece of the black flesh on his face was filled with moisture.

Full of dark clouds.

What surprised Ji Ruochen was not only the sudden bad attitude of Master Qingxian, but also his unforgettable dignity. To be fair, although Master Qingxian occupied the four characters of "black, fat, short, bald", looking at the past from a distance, he looked like a weight.

, but this anger, the face is still full of evil spirits, quite a bit majestic and majestic as the leader of a big sect.

However, monks can do things that others cannot, and one of them is to change their appearance and bones. Most Buddhist women can keep their appearance forever. Even if they are over a hundred years old, they can still look as if they are eighteen years old. In fact, men can do the same. Like Zhenren Ziyang

People with that kind of status will most likely choose an appearance of about forty or fifty years old. Firstly, they can not hide their moral integrity, and secondly, they can have the demeanor of an elder. But those who have disabilities or congenitally ugly appearance will be equivalent to moral cultivation.
