The First Sword

Chapter 03 Travel

Yan Ji quickly ran to the courtyard where Liang Xiangling lived. When she came here, she found that the layout of this courtyard was no different from the layout of the courtyard where he lived. It was paved with bluestone floors and a small flower bed was built in the center. The structure was quite simple. It was thought that the Buddhist disciples did not pay much attention to the place where they lived.

He came to the door of Liang Xiangling's room, regardless of etiquette such as knocking on the door before entering the house. He came over and pushed the door to enter.

Liang Xiangling had already woken up and was lying ** with her eyes closed for cultivation. Suddenly, she heard the door opening. She was unprepared and trembled with fear. She immediately raised her eyes and looked at the door. However, when she saw that the person who came was her younger brother Yan Ji, she lost her anger. She smiled at Yan Ji and said, "Looking at your life, you must not be hurt, right?"

Yan Ji looked at the beautiful face. At this moment, she smiled like a flower and was extremely beautiful. Unconsciously, she was a little crazy, and there was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth and said, "I'm not hurt. After waking up, nothing happened. How about your injury? Is it serious?"

Liang Xiangling shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing. It's just that I've been attacked by the poison gas of the tree demon for too long. I'm exhausted and can't get out of bed and walk, but I'll just have a few days off."

Liang Xiangling said to Yan Ji like this. Seeing the young man standing by her bed, his beautiful face, which was smiling, suddenly became solemn and obviously worried about her. Although Liang Xiangling was moved, she had a smile on her face and scolded him, "Idiot, why are you so ugly? Do you think there's something wrong with me?"

Yan Ji shook his head and said, "No, I hope you have nothing!"

Liang Xiangling looked at his depressed face a few more times and said slowly, "Brother, when I fainted, I thought I couldn't wake up anymore. It was not until I opened my eyes again that I knew that I was not dead. It turned out that you saved me again. The last time I met the demon killer outside Nanyang Town, it was the same.

Liang Xiangling said this, her voice changed slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "It turns out that you are quite conscientious. It's better to have you by my side than anything."

Yan Ji listened, and his heart was very warm, but then he remembered something. "Ah", he quickly untied the jade pendant on his wrist and said to Liang Xiangling, "Actually, I didn't have the ability to break through the belly of the tree demon at that time, but when your hand touched this jade pendant, this jade pendant suddenly emitted endlessly. Endless spiritual power was injected into my body, and then I had the ability to break the belly of the tree demon and escape with you.

Yan Ji untied the jade pendant, put the jade pendant in Liang Xiangling's palm, and said, "Sister, your jade pendant is a priceless treasure. It is thanks to it that we can survive and never lose it."

Liang Xiangling thought for a moment and couldn't figure out why this family's jade pendant contained rich spiritual power. After thinking for a long time, she didn't understand, so she guessed that her family accidentally picked it up, and no longer thought about it. She said to Yan Ji, "Then put it away. Maybe it can save your life next time you are in danger."

At this time, Yan Ji had tied the jade pendant to Liang Xiangling's wrist and said, "Sister, this jade pendant is not an ordinary jade pendant, but a fairy jade. It's really too valuable. I'd better return it to you to save your life."

Liang Xiangling gave him a white look and scolded, "You idiot, I have already given it to you. Why did you return it to me? What about the precious? If the thing is sent out, there is no reason to take it back!"

Yan Ji frowned and said, "But, I don't know how to use this thing. It seems that only when you touch it will it emit spiritual power. You are its real owner."

Liang Xiangling gave Yan Ji a fierce look and said angrily, "I don't know how to use it either! I've been wearing it for so many years, and I've never seen it emit light and emit any spiritual power. Take it quickly!"

Yan Ji thought it was more appropriate to leave this jade pendant with her senior sister and shook her head and said, "I don't want it. You said that what you gave to someone can't be taken back, then I'll give it to you. It's not yours..."

"Take it!" Yan Ji was talking and was interrupted by Liang Xiangling's angry shouting, "You really know how to be a man. You can directly take what I gave you as a gift and give it to me. Do you have any intention? At least find something else to give to me!" Yan Ji stared at him, and finally added four words: "Take it and put it away."

Yan Ji listened to her sister's angry shouting and did not dare to disobey at all. "Oh", she tiptoed and untied the jade pendant from Liang Xiangling's wrist.

Where was Yan Ji? She didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Yes, you seemed to be going to say something to me at that time! Sister, what on earth are you going to say?

Liang Xiangling rolled his strange eyes, looked at Yan Ji a few times, and frowned, "Do you have any?"

When Yan Ji saw her reaction, she thought she must not remember, but she still answered confidently, "Yes!"

Liang Xiangling raised her head and thought for a moment, and then shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

Although Yan Ji was curious about what Liang Xiangling wanted to say at that time, she didn't ask more questions because Liang Xiangling couldn't remember. He had nothing to do in his spare time, so he continued to talk to Liang Xiangling.

In the battle of Taiqing Palace last night, many disciples were seriously injured and had to live here for a long time to recuperate. During this period, in addition to studying Taiqing Palace Taoism and Tianshu ยท Yellow Scroll, Yan Ji spent the rest of the time talking with Liang Xiangling to relieve boredom. The Chongyin Temple is full of Buddhist disciples. Six are pure. Because Liang Xiangling is a woman, she only sends vegetarian food for Liang Xiangling. It is inconvenient to take care of her. Therefore, the matter of taking care of Liang Xiangling fell on Yan Ji. He comes on time before three meals every day, either feeding spoonful and spoonful of food, or brought it to her bed and let her eat and take care of her. Meticulous.

During this period, Liang Xiangling was meticulously taken care of by her little brother, and felt warm in her heart. She felt that this beautiful young man's heart had changed a lot. Although his appearance did not look much, he still looked like three years ago, but in his heart was no longer the thoughtless one in Bagongshan Qingzhu Xianju. A child without self-restrained boy.

Three days later, Liang Xiangling recovered from her injury and her true strength was completely recovered, so she did not need Yan Ji's careful care. However, in addition to practicing Taoism, Yan Ji still habitually ran to Liang Xiangling's room every day, as if he could not see Liang Xiangling for a moment, and the world lost its color and became boring.

Two days later, that morning, Yan Ji was talking to Liang Xiangling's room. Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two. Liang Xiangling immediately walked over and opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman outside the door, dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe with kind eyebrows. It was Master Luo Xia who was in charge of teaching.

Liang Xiangling didn't expect the head church to come at this time. She was stunned and immediately saluted, "Disciples, please see the uncle."

Hearing her sister's words, Yan Ji naturally knew who the visitor was, and immediately came to salute, "Disciple Yan Ji, see the teaching."

Master Luoxia looked at the two and nodded slightly, then stopped his eyes on Yan Ji and said, "Master Yan's nephew is also here, so I don't have to go there again."

Yan Ji nodded and replied, "Yes, here it is."

Liang Xiangling heard the inner meaning from Master Luoxia's words and respectfully asked, "What's the matter with me and my brother?"

Master Luoxia's originally peaceful face suddenly became serious and said in a low voice, "After the battle of the tree demon a few days ago, there were only more than 40 disciples left in Xiaoxiang in the Taiqing Palace, and they were seriously injured. Now they are not recovering well. But at this time, it was the four sects who would be allied with Xiaoxiang to prevent the conspiracy of the Demon Sect from succeeding, and the task could not be delayed. At present, it is necessary to send two disciples out to investigate. I see that the two nephews have recovered the best, so I want to bother the two nephews to go out for a trip.

Liang Xiangling listened and hurriedly said, "The uncle in charge of the teacher is serious. The word 'extortion' is ashamed. We will definitely try our best to complete the task ordered by the teacher."

Yan Ji followed and said, "Disciples follow the mission and will definitely do their best."

Master Luoxia took over the task without hesitation. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Very good. The two nephews are talented and exquisite in Taoism. They are the best among the young disciples of the Taiqing Palace. They should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Taiqing Palace."

After a polite speech, Master Luoxia began to introduce the task in detail for Yan and Liang:

"It is said that there is a mansion where immortals live on the top of Hengshan, called the 'Phoenix Dance Temple'. This temple was built by immortals and is protected by immortals. mortals can't see the palace with their naked eyes. The 'source of divine fire' that the demonic sect has been trying to get is hidden in the 'Phoenix Dance Temple'. In the future, the gate of the temple will open by itself. At that time, the gates of the demonic sect will definitely enter the temple to grab the divine fire, so we also need to find out where the gate of the temple is as soon as possible, and then gather manpower to prevent the demonic sect from entering the temple. At present, the four sects have sent elites to the peaks of Hengshan to explore the temple, and our Taiqing Palace should not be absent.

With that, Master Luoxia handed over a dilapidated ancient book with a blue cover and a piece of paper to Liang Xiangling and said, "This is the topographic map of Hengshan and ancient books recording things related to the 'Phoenix Dance Temple'. Take it and have a look. It should be helpful for your task."

Liang Xiangling took over the ancient book and map and asked, "Uncle Zhang, when shall we leave?"

Master Luoxia said, "If you don't have anything urgent to do, let's go now. After all, this important thing cannot be delayed. In this mission, there are also disciples of the Yanshan School and Shaohua School. Later, you will go to Hengshan together at the back door of the temple.

Liang Xiangling nodded and said, "Well, we're moving on."

Master Luoxia nodded and smiled, said a few words such as "Be careful of magic killers", and left the courtyard under the eyes of Yan Ji and Liang Xiangling.

After receiving the task given by the teacher, Yan and Liang did not delay for a moment. They went back to the house to pack up their things and immediately walked to the back door of the temple with their swords.
