Chapter 4 Shocking Change

In the early morning, the rain finally stopped.

The beads of water on the tree were crystal clear, sliding quietly from the edge of the leaves and falling down. Because of the wind, they crossed a beautiful arc in the air and hit Zhang Xiaofan's face.

The cold coolness awakened Zhang Xiaofan from his dream. He opened his eyes and subconsciously shouted, "Master..." But there was no one in the wilderness, only Lin Jingyu lay beside him, and he was having a good dream.

It seems like a dream.

But the broken grass temple in the distance and the sleeping playmates beside him told him that all this was true.

He was stunned for a while, shook his head, walked to Lin Jingyu's side, and pushed hard. Lin Jingyu muttered a few words. He slowly woke up and rubbed his eyes. Before he could speak, he felt a chill coming and couldn't help hag.

He opened his eyes and saw that he and Zhang Xiaofan were soaked and lying under a pine tree in the wild. He couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Aren't I sleeping at home? Why did I get here?"

Zhang Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, but I'm very cold. Let's go back quickly."

Lin Jingyu had all kinds of questions in his mind, but his body was really cold. He nodded and got up and ran to the village with Zhang Xiaofan.

Before they arrived at the village, the two of them had found something wrong. At this time, the villagers had got up, but today they were extremely quiet, not even a single person, and with the morning wind blowing, there was a faint smell of blood.

They all looked at each other and saw the surprise in the other party's eyes. At the same time, they accelerated their pace and ran to the village. It didn't take long for the two to reach the entrance of the village. Looking into the road at the entrance of the village, they saw that on the flat ground in the middle of the village, there were more than 40 households in Caomiao Village, more than 200 people, large and small, men and women, lying on the open space. Their bodies were stiff and they became

Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan suddenly saw this terrible scene. In shock, they shouted and fainted.

※※※

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaofan woke up suddenly, sat up, gasped, and his hands trembled slightly. When he fell asleep, his mind was full of fierce faces, blood and bones, and nightmares.

He calmed down and looked around. He saw that this was an ordinary room with two small windows. The room was simple and clean, with only a few pine tables and chairs and kettles and water cups.

Half of the space in the room is a large bed connected with four beds. In addition to what he is lying now, the bedding next to him is also a little messy, as if he had just been slept. As for the other two, the quilts are folded neatly and meticulously.

On the wall directly above the four beds, there is a banner with a big word on it:

Road!

Looking like this, it's like an ordinary guest room in an inn, or a room where several disciples living in the same room.

Zhang Xiaofan sat down for a while, and suddenly an idea suddenly arose in his heart: Maybe everything last night was a nightmare, right? Maybe I've been sleeping here all the time? Maybe when you walk out of this room, your mother will scold him with a smile as usual: "You little slacker!"

He slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked to the door step by step.

The door is empty. From the crack of the door, if there is wind blowing in, it is cool.

He walked step by step, but his two small hands became tighter and tighter. His heart beat so hard that he held his breath. Soon, he walked to the door and put his hand on the door.

At that moment, the wooden door was as heavy as a mountain and as heavy as iron.

He gritted his teeth and opened the door with a cruel "oh" sound.

The bright light outside suddenly shone in, making him narrow his eyes. The warm sunshine fell on him, with a faint warmth.

It's just that his heart suddenly fell into the ice cellar.

Outside the door is a small courtyard, with a few pines and cypresses, a few bushes of vegetation, and a few fragrant flowers in the middle, blooming happily. In front of the door is a corridor leading to the outside of the courtyard. Four feet in front of the door, there are several steps connecting the yard and corridor.

In the corner of the steps, a child sat alone, holding his face and cheeks, sitting there in a sway, motionless.

Maybe the sound of opening the door shocked him. The child hesitated for a moment and slowly turned his head.

Lin Jingyu.

Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth wide, and there were thousands of questions in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned into silence.

He wanted to shout loudly again, but he was so depressed that he couldn't shout.

Two lines of tears, just like this, quietly, slipping.

The two children, just like this, silently, look at each other.

In an unknown place in the distance, there are quiet birds singing, the sky is blue, and there are a few white clouds.

※※※

Zhang Xiaofan sat on the other side of the steps, lowered his head and looked at the stone paved path in the courtyard.

In the small courtyard, there was silence.

I don't know how long it took. Lin Jingyu said slowly, "I woke up earlier than you. At that time, there were still a few people in the room. I asked them, this is Qingyun Mountain Tongtianfeng."

Zhang Xiaofan whispered, "Qingyun Mountain..."

Lin Jingyu said, "Listen to them, there are several disciples under the Qingyun Gate who passed by. When they saw the village, in the village..." Speaking of this, his voice couldn't help choking.

He reached out and rubbed his eyes hard, took a breath, and then said, "Later, they found the two of us at the back of the village, so they took us to the mountain."

Zhang Xiaofan's mouth moved, but he didn't look up and said, "What should we do in the future, Jing Yu?"

Lin Jingyu shook his head and said sadly, "I don't know."

Zhang Xiaofan wanted to say more. Suddenly, a strange voice came from the corridor behind him and said, "Ah, have you all woken up?"

The two looked back at the same time and saw a young Taoist priest standing there, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, quite heroic. He came over quickly and said, "It happens that a few masters also want to see you and ask you some questions. You guys come with me."

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu looked at each other and stood up. Lin Jingyu said, "Yes, please take us there."

The young Taoist priest looked at Lin Jingyu, nodded and said, "Come with me."

Following the Taoist priest, the two walked out of the courtyard, presenting a longer and larger circular corridor in front of them, with a red pillar every two feet at the edge. There is also an arch between each of the two pillars.

They walked along the corridor and passed through arches and pillars. Only then did they find that in each arch was almost the same small courtyard as just now. It seems that this is where the disciples of Qingyunmen live.

Among other things, in terms of this scale alone, there are no less than a hundred small courtyards, which shows that there are many disciples in Qingyun.

After walking for a long time, I saw the end of the corridor, but there was a towering white wall. There was a door below, and two thick wooden wooden boards, which were ten feet high. I almost looked up, and I didn't know how I found such a huge wood at the beginning.

The young Taoist priest turned a blind eye to it. He probably went in and out on weekdays, and was numb. His face was not as moved as that of two children. His face was expressionless, and he walked straight out of the door. Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu hurriedly followed.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, the two children held their breath at the same time and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief.

Here, it is almost the legendary fairyland.

A huge square, the ground is all paved with white jade, shining brightly, at a glance, making life a small heart. The white clouds in the distance, like a veil, are floating under your feet. In the middle of the square, a copper giant tripod is placed every dozens of feet, divided into three rows, three in each row, a total of nine, arranged according to regulations. From time to time, there is light smoke in the tripod, and its taste is clear but not scattered.

"Go here." As if to understand the thoughts of the two children, the young Taoist priest showed a smile on his face and let them look at them for a long time before waking them up and continuing to walk forward.

"This is the 'sea of clouds' in the six scenes of Qingyun, and there is something better ahead!" The young Taoist priest walked along the road.

Lin Jingyu couldn't help asking, "What is it?"

The young Taoist priest pointed and said, "Hongqiao."

The two of them looked far into the distance and saw the distance ahead, at the end of the square. After the foggy clouds, something seemed to shine. They accelerated their pace and walked forward.

Gradually, there was the sound of water, and there were one or two strange thunderous sounds, which I don't know where they came from.

They got closer and closer, and the clouds were like gentle fairies, gently surrounding them, gradually pulling open the faint veil, revealing a clear face.

At the end of the square, there is a stone bridge, no seat or pier, rising across the sky, one end on the square, straight and obliquely upward, into the depths of the white clouds, like a dragon leaping into the sky, arrogant. There is a fine sound of water. Under the sun, the whole bridge emits colorful colors, like a rainbow in the sky, falling into the world, gorgeous and beautiful.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were stunned.

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "Come with me." With that, he stepped on the stone bridge first.

Stepping on the stone bridge, the two of them found that there was a continuous flow of water on both sides of the bridge, which was extremely clear, but the middle part was dripping. The sun shone on the bridge through the clouds, refracted by the water, and became a gorgeous rainbow.

The Taoist priest looked at their intoxicated look and said, "Be careful. There is a bottomless abyss under the bridge. If you accidentally fall down, there will be no place to be buried."

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were shocked, quickly calmed down and walked carefully.

This Hongqiao Bridge is extremely high and long. The three of them walked on it, and they only felt that the left and right white clouds gradually sank to their feet, and they wanted to go higher and higher. And the strange sound in front of him is still coming.

After walking for a while, the white clouds were getting thinner and thinner, and they actually walked out of the sea of clouds. In front of them lit up, and the long sky was like washing, and the blue was like transparency. The sky is vast and boundless; there is a vast sea of clouds below, gently floating and sinking. At a glance, my heart is suddenly wide.

And in front of it is the "Yuqing Hall" of the main hall of Qingyunguan at the top of Tongtianfeng Peak.

The green mountains are green, and the palace is majestic. The "Yuqing Hall" is located at the top of the peak and surrounded by clouds. From time to time, there are several auspicious cranes. Changming flies over, and the air can't be hovering, like the spiritual realm of immortals, which is admirable.

At this time, the Hongqiao no longer rises, makes an arch in the air, and falls by a green pool in front of the hall. At the same time, the secret of the debut family is faintly passed on in the Yuqing Hall, which is the momentum of a fairy family. And the strange sound was getting louder and louder.

The three walked down the Hongqiao Bridge and came to the side of the pool. A spacious stone step went up from the side of the pool to the gate of the Yuqing Hall. The pool is green, as calm as a mirror, and the shadow of the mountain is clearly visible.

They walked up the stone steps and were about to walk up the gate. Suddenly, they heard a roar in the depths of the pool, which sounded like thunder, which was the previous strange sound. Looking around, there was a huge vortex suddenly in the center of the pool. After a moment, the huge wave rolled up, and a huge figure jumped out, and the water rushed to his face.

The young Taoist priest seemed to be on guard for a long time. With his left hand, his body floated up in the air, floated back more than two feet away, and stopped in the air. And the two children could not escape, and they were drenched all over.

It's just that the two of them didn't notice their own situation at all. They just stared at a huge thing in front of them, more than five feet high, with a dragon's head and a lion's body, full of scales and armor, giant eyes and big mouths, and two sharp fangs shining in the sun, with

The monster shook its body, and another burst of water rushed over. Then it seemed to have found something and stretched the giant's head towards the steps.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu saw that the monster was much bigger than the two of them. Under the sun, their sharp teeth were clearly visible. Looking at it getting closer and closer, they were really scared. They couldn't help sticking to each other tightly, and their hearts were pounding.

At this time, the young Taoist priest floated back at some point, stood with one palm on his chest, and said respectfully, "Spirit Master, they were specially summoned by your masters."

The monster stared at him, "chirp" and snorted. The eyes in his big eyes turned around, as if he were using his brain. Then he ignored the three people, staggered aside, lay down on the dry ground by the pool, yawned, lazily lowered his head, basked in the sun, and fell asleep.

The young Taoist priest signaled the two people who were frightened to continue to walk and said, "Ling Zun is the ancient beast that I sent the ancestor of Qingye to subdue thousands of years ago, called 'Water Kirin'. In those years, the ancestor of Qingye was bright and cloudy, defeating demons and eliminating demons. It was very powerful. Now it is our Zhenshan spirit beast in Qingyunmen, which is respectfully called 'Lingzun'.

After saying that, he saluted the water unicorn again. Zhang Xiaofan was distracted, but he was pulled by Lin Jingyu. Seeing that he winned, he also saluted the water unicorn respectfully. It's just that the water unicorn doesn't look back or move, but snoring loudly. I'm afraid I can't see it.

After the three people finish the salute, continue to move forward. Walking through the high stone steps, I saw a golden plaque with the words "Yuqing Hall" written on it. Before coming to the Great Hall, I saw that the door was open, and there was plenty of light inside, dedicated to the three clear gods of Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Moral Tianzun, with solemnity.

Before the throne, there were dozens of people standing on the hall, with Taoism and customs. It seemed that they were all under the Qingyun Gate. In front of everyone, there were seven sandalwood chairs, three on the left and three, and one in the front of the house, but there were only six people sitting on the top, only the last chair in the right row, empty.
